Yoga, Stress, and Cardiovascular Disease: A Cardiologist's Perspective
2:00 - 3:47 (107 min)
Chronic stress is a key, overlooked cardiovascular risk factor requiring treatment equal to hypertension or smoking. Cardiovascular disease is the global leading cause of death, with India having a particularly high burden. Despite medical advances, the disease grows, indicating a need for inexpensive interventions like yoga. A landmark study shows amygdala activity is anatomically linked to arterial inflammation and cardiovascular events. Yoga down-regulates the inflammatory NF-κB pathway, countering stress. Meta-analyses confirm yoga improves blood pressure, cholesterol, and other risk factors, but robust, multi-center trials are lacking to provide conclusive evidence for global acceptance. Integration of yoga's full holistic practice into mainstream medicine requires this high-quality data.
"Chronic stress should be treated on par with the other cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and smoking—but we ignore it."
"These practices are associated with a down-regulation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway."

Practical guide to meditation (6/11)
4:45 - 6:00 (75 min)
Meditation is the practice of turning inward to answer life's fundamental questions and realize one's divine nature. Humans possess a higher purpose beyond basic animal functions. One must regularly ask: What does it mean to be human? What good qualities define humanity? What is my life's mission? Modern life often lacks this ethical education, leading to depression and aimlessness. Meditation provides answers, motivation, and a direct connection to the self. It reduces stress, recharges energy, and clarifies one's situation. The technique requires proper posture, a personal mantra, and a meditation shawl for protection and focus. By withdrawing the senses and observing the breath, one accesses inner peace and cosmic energy.
"Meditation is an answer to thyself. All thy questions, the meditation will give the answers."
"Meditation is a way to thyself, means to God. It doesn’t matter which God you believe... Only one thing remains: divine love."

Seva And Ahimsa Is Love
6:05 - 6:27 (22 min)
Service, or Karma Yoga, is the holistic practice that purifies all five sheaths of being. It requires integrating Jñāna, Bhakti, and Rāja Yoga. Merely being vegetarian is insufficient for the Annamaya Kośa; true ahiṃsā is love for all creatures and extends to protecting nature from human destruction like deforestation, pesticides, and pollution. Our disconnected actions harm the earth, its creatures, and our own physical sheath. Purification requires knowledge: using discernment to understand our impact and choose protection. It equally requires devotion: selfless love for all beings is the motive force for true service. Without this love, action is empty. Service also demands discipline to perform duties carefully and humility to endure difficulties without expectation. Greed and selfishness pollute the intellect and manifest as violence. All yoga paths unite in selfless action to purify each layer of the self.
"Without Bhakti Yoga, the NGOs you establish have no sense. Without Bhakti Yoga, your work for environmental protection will not function."
"Vaśīkaraṇa mantra ek yahī hai, taj de bachan kaṭhora. The one best mantra... is to give up harsh words."

The radiance of the true Guru dispels all darkness.
The true Guru is the embodiment of divine knowledge. That Guru is not an ordinary person but the very form of God. Meeting such a Guru is the ultimate fortune. The Guru's grace alone can illuminate the inner self. Without this grace, one remains in ignorance. The Guru's word is the supreme authority. Through the Guru, one attains liberation.

Introduction to the science of Chakras
9:40 - 11:00 (80 min)
Introduction to Chakras, Presov, Slovak Republic. Muladhara stores much karmic information about us. What is dormant in Muladhara is sprouting in Svadisthana. This is the place of kriya shakti and iccha shakti. If we purify this chakra, half way to our final goal is behind us. Manipura is the powerhouse of our body. Anahat is the place of our feelings. Vishuddhi is the door to the astral world.
The completness of our being
11:05 - 12:16 (71 min)
The eternal journey of the soul is understood through the body. The body is a house where God speaks. Every creature operates by this divine intelligence, evident in the coordinated flight of birds or movement of fish. The soul occupies this body, which is like a chariot pulled by ten horses—the five senses of perception and five of action—controlled by the mind. To understand the soul, first understand and purify the body. Control hunger and thirst. Purify emotions like jealousy, which attack the body. Yoga and prāṇāyāma are sciences for this purification, not acrobatics. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life-giving nourishment. Our actions, or karma, generate reactions, causing the soul to journey through various realms. This journey is like a blind person circling a hall, missing the door to liberation due to desires. The soul takes different forms based on karma. Human life is a rare chance to end this cycle through purification and right understanding.

Make a path through the forest
14:05 - 14:56 (51 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from weekend Yoga Seminar in Nadlac, Romania. Prana is stronger than the physical body. There are always problems in daily life. Partners are together for a period of time then conflicts arise - that is similar to spiritual life. We need a clear path, a sattvic (pure) life, and have to make this path through the forest. Just reading does not help us. We should change ourself inside, otherwise, time is lost. The realisation of Atma Gyana (Self-knowledge) takes more time.

The bansuri flute
16:05 - 16:35 (30 min)
The dance between spiritual discipline and inner freedom is like a musician mastering a raga. An instrument delivers its own message when the musician supplies the breath and respects the rules while allowing inner expression. Our human life also has essential rules, requiring continual remembrance. I recall Raga Kiravani, which embodies this balance and evokes the Sufi tradition's beautiful discipline of continual prayer. A shared moment in an airport prayer room revealed the profound presence of devotion, transcending religion. Yet we often scrutinize spiritual discipline while freely indulging worldly habits. The Sufi whirling dance mirrors this: one hand points to the divine, the other to earth, a balance often lost in our spiritual hurry. We forget our human duty to serve, which is paramount. True practice is to become a better instrument of divine love for all.
"Every instrument is just something like a human being... and the musician is only supplying the prāṇa so that the instrument can deliver what it needs to deliver."
"Try to sit there for others. Try to do it so that I become a better instrument of divine love to serve all beings."

Yoga Is In Our Destiny
16:40 - 17:44 (64 min)
Yoga is unity, the realization of oneness. The practice harmonizes body, mind, and soul, but its true aim is the individual soul merging with the universal soul. We exist as separate individuals due to ignorance, fluttering through lifetimes. Reality is what is unchanging—the Ātmā, the supreme truth. The changing body and world are not this ultimate reality. A yogī is one who removes the duality between the individual and universal soul, achieving union. This is self-realization. Human life is a chance for this merger. Our duty, our human dharma, is to realize this oneness through spiritual practice, serving others with mercy, and seeing the divine light in all creatures. Do not divide by race or religion. Love means wishing happiness for all. Your spiritual progress is in your hands. This life is a journey toward that final unity.

We are full of resonance
17:50 - 18:44 (54 min)
All paths converge to a single essence. Different masters and gods are like separate drops that ultimately enter the ocean. From that ocean, differentiation arises again, just as water evaporates to form clouds. The purpose is to understand why some return quickly while others fall far away. A story illustrates this: seeds ground between two stones become flour, but a handful near the central hook remain complete. Those who surrender at the holy feet are like those seeds; they are not ground but come to the highest. Another story tells of a yogi saddened by slaughter; in meditation, it was revealed the karma belongs to the actors, not the witness. Satsang attendees are already there and will reach the supreme. The sound within, like the ocean's resonance, is Nādarūpa Parabrahma. This vibration is in the whole universe and within all. Do not sit passively like a dead body; respond and awaken to this sound.
"Those who come to the Gurudevs, or your God, or your temples, or your church—where we are at the holy feet of the gods—they will not be ground."
"It is their karma, and they will get it back again. But you have done nothing. You see, it is painful, but you have not done."

Culture gives us the human quality
20:05 - 20:52 (47 min)
Morning satsang from Weekend Seminar in Vep, Hungary. Culture has mighty power, like tolerance, forgiveness, respect. These are the blossoms of the cultures of different countries. Where there is a human, there is culture. It helps us to protect our dharma and reach self-realization. The highest dharma is Sanatan Dharma, it is present in all of the cultures.
The real yoga nidra
21:00 - 22:03 (63 min)
Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. We should practise real yoga nidra but in a sitting position according to Mahaprabhuji's instructions. Singing Yoga nidra bhajan. If we only sleep during yoga nidra we don't get anything. The story of a man who beat the snake with a stick in the sand. Animals also have their path and they follow it. They also have their struggles with each other. Our like is like a thorny bush with sweet fruits in it. What do we choose the ice cream or the stick? Bhajan singing.
The real marriage
22:10 - 23:03 (53 min)
The essence of devotion is seeing God in all things, transcending material focus for pure spiritual truth. The divine principle, Deva, represents supreme purity and humility, the essence of all gurus and gods. Many seek God through external names and rituals, but true spirituality is found in the heart, in love, peace, and harmony. Life consumes life, often without awareness, while humanity walks two paths: one focused solely on the Name of God, and another justifying worldly actions. Traditional marriage ceremonies symbolize union and duty, with the husband leading to provide and protect. Modern marriages often lack this enduring commitment, contrasting with past unions built on shared sacrifice and understanding, as shown in the story of the bread. The ultimate guidance is the guru's darśana—the sight of God—which is the true wealth, not money, but the joy of spiritual connection.
"People sing that Jesus said, God said... but the point is not gold, but the heart, pure spiritual spirituality."
"Darśana means we see each other. We see each other also, not only humans—animals, trees, everything."
