We should believe in God
0:40 - 1:54 (74 min)
Recorded on
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
World Peace is in Our Hands
2:00 - 2:05 (5 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
Yoga, Health, and Peace: A Medical Perspective
2:10 - 2:22 (12 min)
Recorded on
True health requires integrating physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being, which modern life disrupts. Our unnatural lifestyle causes chronic stress, damaging our organs and leading to widespread disease. Yoga is a holistic, evidence-based system addressing this. It works on three levels: conscious practices like meditation influence the cortex; prāṇāyāma calms the subcortical autonomic nervous system; and āsanas affect the peripheral organs. This integrated approach combats key modern ailments. Memory loss and dementia are epidemics, worsened by our reliance on technology and poor diet. Yoga, along with a vegetarian diet rich in healthy spices, is scientifically shown to preserve memory and prevent cognitive decline. Similarly, yoga techniques are proven to alleviate and prevent depression by fostering present-moment awareness. By restoring balance across all levels of our being, yoga guides us toward self-realization. Understanding our connection to others allows us to live in peace. "All these diseases are actually caused by an overload of stress." "Yoga techniques influence us on all levels: physical, mental, social, and spiritual." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
Satsang Is Divine
2:30 - 3:09 (39 min)
Recorded on
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
Meditation is the key
3:15 - 4:14 (59 min)

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." "Yoga is a science of body, mind, and soul." Filming location: New York, USA
Memories and experiences on the yoga path
4:20 - 5:08 (48 min)
Recorded on
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
Identification with the name
5:15 - 6:23 (68 min)
Recorded on
The autobiography of Viśva Gurujī has arrived. This book is a living blessing, containing his life in his own simple words. It is a tool for learning and a source of divine influence. The evening program will provide a full introduction. For now, consider this book a profound gift to be received and experienced. Your yoga name is your second mantra, a divine replacement for your worldly name. A birth name ties you to the body and its karma, fostering ignorance. The master gives a name of God or divine qualities to shift this identification. To receive its power, you must use it and identify with it fully. A mantra or name unused is like a seed locked away, not planted. The name of God holds immense power, capable of transforming consciousness. Embrace this name as your true identification. "In the dream, Mahāprabhujī told me, 'Don’t be greedy, Mahesh. Whatever I gave you, you must pass on. You are here to give, not to take.'" "He called Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa. So he has to go to heaven. This is the power of God’s name." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Bhajans from Strilky Ashram
6:30 - 8:04 (94 min)
Recorded on
The seeker questions the divine veil that obscures the true name and presence. A direct plea is made, asking why this separation is maintained when the longing is so intense. The seeker states they see yet do not truly see, perceiving the form but not the essence. The name itself is questioned as being used as a veil. The discourse then turns to praise, acknowledging the inner dweller within all beings and the true Self that is the object of meditation. The work of the divine is noted as occurring through fundamental steps and elements. "Why do you keep a veil from me?" "I can’t see you. Even if I see you, I see you, but I don’t see you."

Bhajan singing in the presence of Vishwaguruji
8:10 - 9:45 (95 min)
Recorded on
The divine lineage is invoked and praised, its grace and power are extolled. The Guru is the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and spiritual attainment. The gathering is reminded of practical conduct. The supreme Lord bestows happiness, wealth, and removes all obstacles and diseases for the devoted. The one who longs for the divine is liberated from sins. The heart is awakened by the Guru's light, dispelling darkness forever. "Meditation's root is the Guru's form, worship's root is the Guru's feet, mantra's root is the Guru's word, attainment's root is the Guru's grace." "The one who has His darshan, his sins are washed away. The one who longs for Him, his sins are washed away." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Practising Asanas
15:00 - 15:47 (47 min)
Recorded on
Yoga practice is an inner journey, not a physical workout. We practice to calm down, feel inner peace, and be aware of each movement. Relax the whole body and observe your feelings. The key is to quiet the inner dialogue. Breathing is fundamental; without proper breath, no asana is correct. Life itself depends on how we breathe. Short, clavicular breathing leads to stress and low energy. Learn to connect the abdomen, middle, and clavicle in one complete breath. Your posture reflects your inner state; practice builds inner strength and corrects the body's position. "Without knowing how to breathe, no āsana will be correct in a good way." "First, because your inner thoughts and feelings are reflected in your body." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Hatha Yoga Kriyas (2/3)
17:00 - 17:27 (27 min)
Recorded on
Trāṭak is the sixth Haṭha Yoga purification, a practice of gazing on one point to concentrate and purify the sight. It uses a candle flame, a black spot, or the rising or setting sun, never direct sunlight. The flame is placed at arm's length, which strengthens eyesight and helps those who are short- or far-sighted. It trains the mind to focus on one point, calming scattered thoughts and vrittis, leading toward one-pointedness and meditation. Practice requires a peaceful place without drafts or disturbances, wearing loose, natural clothing to contain energy. The ideal flame height is at the heart center, as gazing on the outer light opens the heart chakra and leads to perception of the inner light. Pure ghee lamps are best, but a non-smoking plant-based candle is acceptable. Begin by gazing at the middle of the flame for 30 seconds, then close the eyes to observe the afterimage, repeating this cycle three times. Keep the body and eyes still, relaxing the eyebrow center. Do not practice if overly tired, or if experiencing schizophrenia or depression. "Trāṭak is not relaxation; it is not meditation. It is concentration." "Take this light, this flame, inside. This light is the symbol of the highest Self." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
