The new moon day carries great blessings and is a symbol of Śiva's darśana. Observing the twelve crescent moons grants a siddhi. Śiva, the creator of yoga, manifests in all elements. Greet Śiva upon waking to clear daily obstacles. The five elements are vital, with the sun and moon represented within as Iḍā and Piṅgalā in Svara Yoga. This science of breath instructs one's actions. Yoga is a complete science of body, mind, and soul. Eating is a sacred ceremony, a sādhanā where food is offered to Brahman. Maintain silence while eating. To fulfill wishes, one must offer something in return; nothing is free. Respect food by praying and offering a portion first. Perform daily sādhanā with discipline, such as offering water to a plant at sunrise. Making a vow, like abstaining from a fruit, tests willpower. Inner beauty of heart and behavior is true beauty. "To see the new moon carries a great blessing. If one can see the twelve crescent moons, one will attain a siddhi." "Yoga is a science of body, mind, soul, and our ātmā. It must not be that you do only physical yoga exercises; there are many, many other techniques." Filming location: Kranj, Slovenia

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 more we can quit sweet things, the better it is for our health." "Your willpower is your Hanuman. Your strength is your Hanuman." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect. "If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere." "The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 155b

The soul's journey is from individuality to unity with the divine. Our tradition sees all with love. Historical forces, from Muslim rulers to the British, have tested this unity, yet the essence remains. God is not present in only one place; God is omnipresent. The soul enters the human body after passing through many life forms. The human birth is a rare opportunity. The relationship between the individual soul and the supreme is like a drop and the ocean; they are ultimately the same substance. Upon death, the pure soul merges with the supreme consciousness, while others return to the cycle. Every helper in life, from a parent to a driving instructor, can be considered a guru guiding us. Our duty is to raise children in righteousness and to show compassion to all creatures, great and small. "God is not there only once. God is not there only once." "A drop of water and the whole ocean are the same inside." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The devotional invocation of divine light and guru grace. This is a sequence of sacred chants and salutations. The core practice is the repetitive chanting of names and mantras. The invocations call upon the light of Dip Narayana and the grace of various gurus. The chant "Kali Kali Hare Sava" is repeated as a central devotional refrain. The purpose is to invoke divine presence and blessings through sound. The text concludes with a focus on ultimate truth. The recitation is an act of worship and remembrance.

Seek refuge in the Guru to cross the ocean of worldly existence and attain liberation. You are trapped in the cycle of birth and death, where all possessions and relationships are ultimately left behind. The Guru is the means to cross this ocean, destroying inner enemies like desire and anger. By taking shelter and consciously repeating the divine name, one can be freed from ignorance. The goal is a transcendent state beyond birth, death, and karma, described as indescribable light and eternity. This state is sought through complete surrender, offering all aspects of life—success, defeat, work, and love—into divine hands. The aim is to live in the world yet remain pure, with the single task of reaching the divine. "O Gurudev, you are the means of crossing the ocean of worldliness." "Oh Lord, I offer all my work and all my mistakes into your hands." Filming location: Austria

The human journey is a rare opportunity to realize oneness. Among countless life forms, the human birth is the most developed. This development offers the singular chance to merge with the supreme reality. Many habits, like excessive eating or using tobacco, create disease and suffering, obscuring this purpose. Health is foundational; without it, nothing is possible. Difficulties are not punishments but divine means to foster remembrance and surrender. Through trials, the soul is refined and drawn closer to liberation. All names and forms point to one essence, like different words for the same sweetness. "When you are very happy... you forget God. When we have problems, then we remember." "Give troubles to all devotees of God... When trouble comes that we remember." Filming location: Alexandria, USA

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from weekend Yoga Seminar in Novo Mesto, Slovenia. We are all like paras. We can create good qualities in others. When paras touch the iron it becomes gold. Guru is more than paras, Guru can transform the disciple into Guru. If not, either Gurudev is not right, either there is a distance between the Master and disciple. The physical body is called annamaya kosa, while the energy body is called pranamaya kosa. Water is water in each of the forms. Similarly, Soul is one.

The choice between positivity and negativity is a fundamental spiritual decision. One must not judge others without knowing the full story, as appearances are deceptive. The people and atmosphere one chooses directly shape the mind's development. Ultimately, the path is a personal choice. There are four types of grace: divine grace, the grace of parents and teachers, the supreme grace of the Guru, and one's own grace. The Guru shows the path but does not force the disciple; one's own effort is crucial. Cultivate gratitude for what you have, as craving more leads to misery, exemplified by the farmer who became unhappy after finding 99 coins. Do not seek faults in others, for that draws their negativity onto oneself. Negativity is often more alluring, but positive association is essential for growth. Even animals sense intention, as when a saint's negative thought drove swans away. Use discrimination to choose the positive path. Spiritual progress depends on personal choice, Guru's grace, and righteous living. "Guru kṛpā hi kevalam, śiṣya ānanda maṅgalam."

A morning yoga practice guides the body and breath toward relaxation and awareness. Begin by lying down, consciously relaxing each part of the body from the toes to the head. Observe the natural breath, then consciously deepen it into a full yogic wave moving from abdomen to chest. Coordinate simple stretches with inhalation and exhalation, feeling tension and release. Progress through poses that stretch the spine diagonally and twist it, always keeping the lower back close to the floor. Move into seated postures for flexion and extension of the spine, coordinating each movement with the breath. Conclude with deep relaxation, breath awareness, and a simple prāṇāyāma technique. "Feel your body becoming heavier with each exhalation." "Harmonize your movement with your breath." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Wellness is the harmonious balance of body, mind, and soul. Vāstu Śāstra aligns our environment with cosmic energy for harmony. Our being is composed of five layers, or kośas: the physical body of nourishment, the energy body, the mental body, the intellectual body, and the bliss body. The mind is a reflection of immense speed and power that cannot be controlled or killed; desire persists from cradle to grave. Yoga is the scientific practice to awaken awareness and achieve this balance. It requires daily morning practice in a small space with fresh air. Sound and vibration are foundational; our body is created from cosmic resonance. Specific sounds like "A," "U," and "M" correspond to energy centers, or chakras, and can release tension, heal glands like the thyroid, and purify the nervous system. Chanting "OM" integrates the five bodies and clears stress by directing vibration to the brain. "Your mind cannot be killed because your desire is still there."

The supreme door is entered through satsaṅg, the highest and easiest spiritual path. Real renunciation is of desires, not material things. Satsaṅg with pure feeling destroys countless sins. The mind creates delusion and fear about this path. One example is a cave where a voice warns not to take anything, yet both taking and not taking lead to regret. A student who takes soil finds diamonds, representing the unexpected gain from connection. Another example is of thieves whose father warns them to avoid satsaṅg. One thief hears a single phrase during satsaṅg: "Devotees are not the shadow of the deities." This word later allows him to see through a false goddess and save his life. From one word of truth, salvation is possible. Satsaṅg is a divine blessing. "To reach the court of that God, there is only one way: the way of renunciation." "Devotees are not the shadow of the deities." Filming location: Allahabad, India

Approach vegetarian cooking with freedom, focusing on flavor and digestibility. Food should be a pleasurable experience for everyone. Anxious adherence to many rules leads to joyless meals, which hinders proper digestion. True spiritual maturity is not indifference to food; the body savors taste, and enjoyment aids digestion. For soy allergies, concentrates are unnecessary as grains and legumes provide sufficient protein. Increased plant protein intake is not harmful. Regarding dairy, high consumption, especially of aged cheeses, is problematic. A small daily amount suffices for B12, which vegans can supplement. For cooking, use stable fats like palm or rapeseed oil for high heat. Frying is less harmful with antioxidant-rich plant foods. Proper legume preparation involves soaking, discarding the water to remove enzyme inhibitors, and cooking with spices. Combine legumes with vegetables, not other proteins, for easier digestion. Use legume flours as thickeners and egg substitutes to enhance traditional dishes. Master the use of spices toasted in oil. Create universally enjoyable food by upgrading local cuisine with these global techniques. "Taste belongs to the body, not to the soul. If you do not enjoy your food, you will not properly digest it." "Legumes contain more protein than meat... Therefore, one should regard legumes as a piece of meat and not combine and strengthen them together with other proteins." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Hanumān Chālīsā is a universal spiritual text. It consists of forty poems glorifying Hanuman, composed by the saint Tulsīdās from his realization. This chant is for everyone, transcending religion, as spiritual truth is one. Its power has been observed; playing it for cows brought relaxation and increased milk yield, demonstrating healing through sound resonance. The mantra's vibration can dispel illness, promoting peace and health. Hanuman remains on earth by Rāma's command to protect devotees. Animals possess great knowledge and loyalty, as seen in langurs that refuse to eat the Sītā Phal fruit out of respect. They are family members, and their destruction imbalances the world. Spiritual awareness, found in texts like the Chālīsā, uplifts and liberates consciousness, removing fear. The poem begins by adoring the guru's lotus feet, the source of prosperity and wisdom. True greatness, like Tulsīdās's, does not proclaim itself. Hanuman symbolizes pure, fearless strength and intellect, never used for negativity, and is invoked for removing troubles. "It is not only for Hindus, but for anyone who wishes to receive its benefit." "Every spiritual word, every spiritual sentence is uplifting, inspiring, liberating, and removes the fear."

Awaken to life's true purpose before the train of time departs. Life is given according to destiny and karma, not age. The moment of departure is unknown. One must become alert and conscious to board the train; it will not wait. All worldly attachments—family, possessions, country—are left behind. Nothing material accompanies you. The purpose is the awakening of consciousness into God-realization. Practice the techniques given by the wise; otherwise, this chance is lost. Attachment is a noose causing suffering and conflict. Detachment is not neglect but love without suffering, granting freedom. After death, you face the consequences of your karma in compartments of heaven or hell, falling into a directionless nothingness. Yet, human life is beautiful and meant to be enjoyed. You came alone and will depart alone. Achieve the liberation of self-realization through spiritual practice. "Chetan ho jaare musā, phir gaḍī ānewalī hai. Gaḍī ānewalī hai, gaḍī jānewalī hai."

A spiritual journey unfolds through grace, duty, and unwavering connection to the Master. Returning after twelve difficult years abroad brings profound gratitude. The path began with a mantra initiation decades ago. Guidance came to help establish an ashram, leading to the first yoga class in a home in 1999. Teaching has continued and grown since that time, offering something unique that students recognize as authentic. The Master embodies perfect completeness, and His divine aura provides unmatched wisdom. The path is safe; one must not stop walking it even through storms, standing firm like a deeply rooted tree. Life presents contrasting experiences—from a dharmic childhood to a materialistic society—all as lessons. The core instruction is to maintain dharma, to do the right thing in all circumstances, drawing strength from scripture even when facing loss. A profound devotion was realized in a moment of selfless offering to the Guru. "Every moment in His presence, we dive into His Divine Aura and receive wisdom found nowhere else." "The real hero is the one who, even while doing the right thing, loses." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
