We are never old for yoga
0:35 - 0:48 (13 min)
Recorded on
This weekend provided a spiritual vaccination against the subtle influences of Kali Yuga. The age's decay enters through small compromises, like a mouse, creating spiritual inflation. We must learn to firmly say no to ourselves, for the gentle approach of this era ends with us caught unaware. A yogi, like aged ghee, improves with time; one is never too old for sādhana. This injection strengthens our immunity, but ongoing practice is essential. We must carry this light home and arrive at the coming opening in a state of spiritual readiness, not merely physical. Our perspective on food, practice, and community must grasp the deeper principle of non-harm. "To know how to say 'No' to ourselves." "We are never too old for our sādhana."

Gurudeva hi Kevalam
0:55 - 1:50 (55 min)
Recorded on
The mind creates complex knots that only the Guru's grace can easily untie. Human nature is drawn to negativity and overthinking, which tightens our mental knots of sadness and confusion. These difficulties come and go. We often remember the Guru only when troubled, yet constant remembrance is needed. The Guru assigns karma yoga to quiet the restless mind and remove inner obstacles. Attempting to solve our own problems often worsens them. True solution comes from surrendering the knot to the Guru, who finds the simple loop to release it. Faith in the Guru's guidance transforms seemingly complicated situations. "A coin has two sides. We might see one side and not see the other side." "In the same way, our sadness or the thoughts, the negative thoughts in our mind, are a simple knot. But our mind tries to untangle it, to overthink it, and just makes the situation even worse."

Welcoming Address and Valedictory Session on Yoga for Wellness
2:00 - 3:08 (68 min)
Recorded on
Yoga for wellness is the subject, moving from practice to integration for national health. Yoga has gained global acceptance, increasing India's responsibility. The conference aims to establish policy parameters. Yoga is about holistic wellness, not merely cure. Two key features emerged: the need for integration between traditional and modern medicine, and the need for scientific evidence on yoga's impact on specific diseases. Integration must move beyond co-location to active cross-referrals. The ultimate aim is to use yoga to reduce the number of patients. Generating robust scientific evidence is crucial for global acceptability. The presence of both traditional and modern practitioners signifies the desired integration. "Yoga is not just about a cure. It is about health, overall well-being, and wellness." "We need to generate scientific evidence about the value of yoga if we want true acceptability." Filming location: Delhi, India

Awakening of muladhar
4:15 - 4:57 (42 min)
Recorded on
Chakras are energy centers where consciousness resides, defining character and problems. Your destiny (prārabdha) is created by past karma before your body forms. You control your present karma through action, speech, thought, and influence, but once acted upon, deeds become destiny governing future life and all current problems. The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root foundation of consciousness based on that karma. It is the earth element, colored red for energy and Mother Consciousness. Its awakening brings safety, wisdom, and pleasurable energy, not physical sensations. The chakra's symbols include a four-petaled lotus representing the four ways life enters the world, an elephant symbolizing wisdom and prosperity, an inverted triangle for energy flow, and a coiled snake representing past, present, and future karmas—the dormant Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Śiva (consciousness) and Śakti (nature) seek union here. Exercises like Bhujaṅgāsana and Śalabhāsana activate this chakra, strengthening the back and influencing the root center for physical and mental balance. "As long as you are not doing anything, it is still under your control." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means wisdom. You become very wise, you become self-confident."

That immortality shines within the heart and is reached by the self-controlled. Practice the sounds diligently. "Not by work, not by your people, nor by wealth. But by renunciation alone you attain immortality." "That immortality, beyond heaven, shining within the heart, is attained by the self-controlled." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Divine Lineage of Alakpurījī: Saints, Siddhas, and the Eternal Guru
5:40 - 6:10 (30 min)
Recorded on
The divine lineage flows from the Himalayan Siddha Pīṭha of Alakpurījī. This holy place in the high valleys near Badrināth is where Alaknandā and another river meet. Great beings incarnate in every yuga to protect dharma and liberate souls. These are the Nityāvatāra, the eternal gurus embodying the creator, sustainer, and dissolver principles. They often move hidden in the world. A seeker named Devapurījī received Alakpurījī's light and blessings, gaining great siddhis. He later bestowed this light upon Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, an incarnation of Viṣṇu. Mahāprabhujī's dear disciple was Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandapurījī, whose divine birth we commemorate. The path requires complete surrender, not a desire for quick miracles. When God calls, one must be ready to go. "O Arjuna, from time to time I incarnate in every yuga to protect the dharma, to liberate all the pure souls." "Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Para Brahma, Tasmai Śrī Guruve Namaha." Filming location: Alakhpuriji Vasudhara Himalaya, India

Repeat the name of Gurudev
6:55 - 7:22 (27 min)
Recorded on
The human birth is a rare and urgent opportunity. The scriptures and all aspects of existence point to a single imperative. The sole necessity is to fix the mind upon the Guru's name. This precious human form is exceedingly difficult to obtain again. One must become truly human in this very moment. By being steadfast in this practice, the vision of the true Self is attained. Do not waste this fleeting chance. "Oh lamp of qualities, Hari, fix your mind on the Guru’s name. This opportunity will not come again; be human." "This is the totality of knowledge: to be human."

Bhajan singing in the presence of the Master
7:30 - 8:17 (47 min)
Recorded on
The sacred syllable Om is the primal vibration from which this three-qualitied illusion of the world is projected. From Om, all knowledge and the Vedas themselves emerged. The true knower, realizing this, finds bliss. The Guru's grace is essential for this realization. Without the Guru's guidance, one remains lost, not knowing what to do with worldly or spiritual wealth. The Guru's feet are the ultimate pilgrimage, praised by the Vedas and Purāṇas. The divine sound, Śabda, is the ultimate power; it does not kill but slays limitation. Through the Guru's arrival at the eternal door, the soul finds liberation. "From Om, the three-qualitied Maya created this world." "The Vedas and Purāṇas sing, 'Guru’s feet are the sacred pilgrimage.'" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Guru bhakta jagata me na rahe
8:25 - 9:08 (43 min)
Recorded on
The divine reality is one, formless, and present everywhere within all beings. Rāma, meaning God or the Guru, lives in every heart. Inside and outside are the same vast oneness. The whole world resides within you. This reality is not born and does not die. It is completely fearless. It has no color, shape, or boundaries. It is indescribable and beyond name. Without the Guru, one cannot understand this truth. The devotee who realizes this has nothing to fear from the world. "Looking up or looking down, I only have your darśan, and there is no need to go anywhere." "Without the guru, you cannot understand this." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Pyare darashana diyo aj
9:15 - 9:18 (3 min)
Recorded on
The heart's agitation arises from separation and unfulfilled longing. This state is described as a profound inner turmoil. The eyes of the devotee, represented as the eyes of the cowherd and of the divine, do not grant the vision being sought. This absence of divine sight leads to restless days and sleepless nights. The longing itself becomes a form of sustenance, yet it cuts like a blade. The experience is one of yearning for a connection that feels withheld. The fragment captures the essence of devotional anguish. "Be rakhalnī chokhā, Kalnī chokhā, Darśan na dī chokhā." "Darśan sannakā nindā, Nairin divasannā, Bhukkanī kāso kattatannā."

Introduction to the science of Chakras
9:55 - 11:15 (80 min)
Recorded on
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
11:20 - 12:31 (71 min)
Recorded on
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. "Jisme Nārāyaṇa Bole, Par Guru Binā Bheda Kaun Kholē." "The body does not die. Only space in the space, air in the air, water in the water, earth in the earth." Filming location: London, UK

The bansuri flute
14:20 - 14:50 (30 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga Is In Our Destiny
16:30 - 17:34 (64 min)
Recorded on
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. "Brahma satyaṁ, jagan mithyā." "The life of the bird depends on your hands." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

The real yoga nidra
21:55 - 22:58 (63 min)
Recorded on
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.
Make a path through the forest
23:05 - 23:56 (51 min)
Recorded on
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.
