World Peace is in Our Hands
2:00 - 2:05 (5 min)
World peace is in our hands. Our world is increasingly turbulent and ambiguous, requiring more than linear answers. We must create resilient societies focused on shared peace and well-being. A world without peace, equitable wealth distribution, and planetary care will not survive. Achieving these goals requires every individual to become a responsible, active global citizen. My country is designing a new societal vision with its citizens, integrating this into our strategic development. We are committed to being a responsible global actor by implementing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. This includes striving for poverty eradication, gender equality, human rights, and environmental protection at all levels. Peace requires good intentions, cooperation, and inner balance. The best way to achieve that inner coherence is through yoga. Ultimately, our collective action determines our future.
"A world without peace will not survive. A world without distributing wealth will not survive."
"I think we all know the answer: yoga is the answer."

The Healing Bridge: Integrating Yoga into Modern Medicine
2:10 - 2:19 (9 min)
A holistic yoga system offers a vital complement to modern medicine within a globalized, rapid, and restless world. Western medicine excels at structural issues but faces challenges with widespread psychosomatic conditions. Applying yoga occurs on three levels: as preventive self-care to reduce systemic costs, as a supportive adjunct to enhance medical treatments, and as a primary treatment for specific functional or psychosomatic ailments. Encouraging patients to practice the complete system, rather than seeking quick fixes, allows them to resolve their own issues through self-knowledge. This path addresses the root restlessness driving the demand for rapid, universalized treatments that often fail. The methods provided are excellent for both prevention and fostering genuine well-being.
"When someone comes with a particular complaint, I advise them: 'Practice the Yoga in Daily Life system as a complete system.'"
"People suffer because they are globalized, rapid, and restless. Consequently, they seek quick, rapid, and universalized medications and treatments—an approach that often fails."

The teaching of Bhajans
3:00 - 3:23 (23 min)
The devotee's longing for the Guru is a sweet pain that is ultimately good. A feeling of absence creates an ache in the heart, yet this very pain is a sign of devotion. The love for the Guru is so sweet that one willingly accepts its inherent difficulties. A prayer describes the Guru as the source of all happiness and the remover of all sufferings. The only hope lies in complete surrender to the Guru. One must inwardly give up all obstacles to this devotion. The path requires steady practice, prayer, and unwavering confidence.
"As much as it is painful, it is that good."
"Do not hurry and do not worry. Practice, practice, practice."

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.
Bhajan evening in the Jadan Ashram
6:30 - 7:09 (39 min)
The senses are powerful and create the entire world of entanglement. The ten senses within the body are difficult for any yogi to fully master. The world is ensnared by their play, particularly by the lower senses like taste and procreation. All beings, from Brahma to animals, are bound by these senses. Their force is the great delusion that must be conquered.
"The senses are a powerful force of delusion; what has this entangled world become?"
"All beings of the world are under the control of these senses. What has this world become, so entangled?"

The promise to the divine must be fulfilled. A vow made to the Guru and the Lord is an absolute commitment that defines the spiritual path. This promise is the essence of devotion and the means to liberation. The devotee's role is to uphold this word above all else, regardless of the coming and going of other followers. The ultimate aim is to realize one's divine nature, supported by grace. Fulfilling this sacred promise is the core duty.

Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
8:40 - 9:02 (22 min)
The essence is the unstruck sound, the Anāhada, realized through devotion beyond form and thought. This is not an experience of the body or mind. It is beyond all attributes, beyond the forms of Rama or any shadow. It is the formless void that holds the supreme form. Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it. It is understood only through the grace of the true Guru. One must surrender at the divine feet, seeking mercy and blessings for liberation. The devotional offering is the path.
"Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it."

The compassionate Lord Śiva resides within the heart and bestows liberation. He is the primal Lord whose radiance fills all universes. Taking shelter in him ends pain and brings divine happiness. He cuts the noose of bondage with his own hand and liberates the soul. Worship and meditation upon this blessing cure diseases and remove all obstacles. Success is bestowed in the heart, and one obtains everything without asking. Focus the mind on the Guru in the heart to dispel all sorrow. Through the Guru's grace, all ignorance is destroyed, revealing the true self. One who serves the True Guru never falls into hell, and all fears vanish. Merge the mind in the True Guru.

12:10 - 13:30 (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.
What are we thinking about our being?
13:35 - 14:51 (76 min)
The soul is the sovereign ruler of the inner kingdom, the body.
We are sinking in thoughts born from desire. Life grows shorter while we focus on the body. The soul ascends and descends, drawn to experience the world. In the womb, the soul is imprisoned, destined to become an individual. Upon birth, we are a separate Self. We possess the five elements: earth, water, air, fire, and space. Within them resides the soul. You are not alone; you contain a whole universe. The soul is the president, the highest authority. The senses and organs of action are the prime minister and the public, the ten powers that govern the kingdom. Do not become their slave; let them work. You are the king of your body. Your soul is your Guru, the highest Self. All humans possess the same soul, yet we create dualities and suffer. This body is a great instrument. Practice yoga—physical exercises, breath, concentration—to care for it and achieve oneness. Be humble, kind, and helpful. Never think you are unhappy, lost, or have nothing. You are the light of God.
"Your soul is your Guru. Yes. You all will become Gurus when you achieve what I am telling."
"You are the king of your body. And indriyas are your people. Do not become the slave of them. But let them work."

Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (4/9)
15:00 - 16:26 (86 min)
A morning practice integrates physical postures with breath awareness to prepare the body and mind. Begin by lying down, interlocking fingers behind the head, and lifting the upper body with an exhalation to feel the back stretch. Move through sequences to stretch the shoulders, back, and legs, coordinating each movement with the breath. Practice lateral bends and forward folds with a straight spine. Engage the abdominal muscles with controlled leg lifts. Conclude with seated prāṇāyāma, focusing on alternate nostril breathing without counting cycles. Observe the natural breath flow and use a mantra to maintain focus, allowing thoughts to pass without analysis. Feel peace filling the heart with each breath.
"With every exhalation, try to deepen the position a little."
"Just enjoy the prāṇāyāma. We don’t have to count the cycles; we just relax and do prāṇāyāma."

Proper nourishment for the physical body is essential, yet we must be mindful of what we consume. The strong temptation for sweet, sugary foods is an addiction that harms health. Quitting prepared sugars leads to better digestion, weight loss, and improved liver function. Initial withdrawal symptoms like headaches pass, revealing the natural sweetness in whole grains and vegetables. A healthy body supports clearer awareness and a better feeling overall. Reducing sugar also helps control parasites in the body that thrive on it.

The spine's structure, function, and care through yoga are examined. The spine consists of 24 vertebrae forming the axial skeleton, protecting the spinal cord. Muscles and ligaments support posture and movement. Pain arises from acute strain or chronic issues like poor alignment and disc damage. Daily postures, such as prolonged sitting, create imbalance and excessive load, particularly on the lower lumbar vertebrae. Proper biomechanics and the hydraulic function of intervertebral discs are crucial for distributing force. A brief daily yoga practice can alleviate these issues. Gentle stretching, twisting, and strengthening āsanas, performed with awareness, relieve tension, mobilize the spine, and improve overall energy. Consistency in a short morning routine yields significant benefit.
"The spinal cord is the main highway in our body for nerve signals."
"Chronic pains are more complex. They last for months or even years."

Vegetarian cooking lesson 1
20:00 - 20:24 (24 min)
Preparing a simple, digestible vegetarian meal with Mediterranean influences.
We begin a risotto by toasting raw pistachios and seasonal vegetables like cauliflower and carrots in oil. Washed rice is added. Whole cumin and coriander seeds are ground for optimal flavor and digestibility, then added with turmeric to lower the glycemic index of the white rice. Once the rice pearls, add warm water at a two-to-one ratio to rice, and a little salt. A green soup is made by boiling broccoli. A creamy salad dressing is prepared from yogurt or, for vegans, chickpea flour mixed with water and spiced with cumin, coriander, and turmeric to aid digestion. These spices, used daily in small amounts, act as antioxidants and help prevent parasites. Prepare a fresh salad with cucumbers and leaves, garnished for visual appeal. Season dressings with dissolved salt to control intake better than using crystals. Finish the soup by blending it creamy, optionally thickening it with the chickpea cream, and adding olive oil at the end to preserve its nutrients. Garnish the risotto with herbs or cheese. The meal is fresh, green, and healthful.
"Jeera makes any food very easily digestible."
"In this salad dressing, the salt is already dissolved, and when it comes to our tongue, we feel just enough seasoning and don’t need any more."

Gurudeva hi Kevalam
21:40 - 22:35 (55 min)
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."

A Prayer for the Immortal Soul
23:55 - 0:37 (42 min)
Destiny is a mysterious and inescapable force. Humans cannot know the past or future, for such knowledge would bring unbearable tension. What unfolds is a play of fate, created individually yet often unavoidable. The story of Oedipus illustrates how one may try to flee destiny only to fulfill it. All must face the end of the body; death is inevitable. Yet through spiritual practice, one can transcend fear and attachment. When consciousness widens, past and future become clear, and one may realize the supreme Self beyond all suffering. Even the enlightened must relinquish the body, but a self-realized being digests time itself. We pray for the departed soul to dissolve into the cosmic light.
"Humans are very intelligent and intellectual beings, but God has not given them this one ability: to know the past and to know the future."
"Finally, the car will be the winner. It means death."
