The Journey of the Soul: From the Ocean to the Drop
0:20 - 1:14 (54 min)
The soul's journey is from separation from the divine source back to union with it. The individual soul, or jīva, originates from the supreme oneness, like a water droplet separating from the ocean through evaporation. This droplet then longs to return. The cycle of the soul mirrors the water cycle: it ascends, travels, and descends back to earth, entering vegetation and bodies. Satsang is the boat to cross the ocean of separation, guided by the Guru or the holy scripture, which embodies the Guru's presence. Constant repetition of the divine name, like "Ram," is a highway to that goal. However, our physical actions create karma. We poison the earth and water with chemicals from soaps, cosmetics, and medicines, which is violence against nature and ourselves. True spirituality requires internal purity and non-violence in all conduct, as everything is counted. Liberation comes from realizing you cannot hide your actions from yourself or the divine.
"From the ocean, the jīva is in the water, the soul is in the water."
"This drop is called Jīva. And when this drop falls into the ocean, the Jīva becomes the Ātmā."

Shiva Tattva
1:20 - 1:54 (34 min)
The endless cycle of creation and dissolution guides the soul toward Śiva. Creation, Sṛṣṭi, and dissolution, Vilaya, repeat across Yugas. God incarnates in each age through Yogamāyā. Viṣṇu appears with symbols of blessing and destruction. The cycle cleans the field of existence before Śiva, the Svayambhū, manifests again. Vast scriptural knowledge was largely destroyed, yet an ocean remains. Theoretical knowledge is limited; practice is essential. Countless Yugas have passed. The Jīvātmā, the individual soul present in all life, is Śiva-tattva. This essence multiplies endlessly. Gods perform their duties in a reciprocal play. Through disciplined Sādhanā, especially mantra in Kali Yuga, one can overcome suffering. Earthly life, from womb to old age, is marked by difficulty and attachment, a Tapasyā. The aim is for the individual drop of Jīva to merge with the ocean of Śiva. Sustain life with duty and love, but seek Self-realization. Hold to your path, reject doubt, and use your inner light. Guide future generations on this path to end the cycle of rebirth.
"Kali Yuga keval nām ādhāra, sumir sumir narhoi bhavapāra."
"So this drop is the Jīva, Śivatattva. And the ocean is Śiva. When this drop falls into the ocean again, the Jīva becomes Śiva."

Around the world - Opening of new YIDL center in Murska Sobota, Slovenia
2:15 - 2:57 (42 min)
A new ashram opens to teach the universal path of yoga, a science of body, mind, and soul for inner peace and health. This place was prepared over many years by volunteers spreading authentic yoga, not as a business. Yoga is an ancient universal science of balance and harmony originating with Śiva, beyond any single religion. It is a tool for modern life, where one must find willpower and time for practice amidst societal haste. The practice requires careful, daily effort without competition, adaptable for all ages and conditions. Its ultimate aim is to realize one's relation with the Supreme, fostering health, peace, and universal brotherhood. The future depends on educating children in this spiritual knowledge.
"Yoga is universal. So I see your centers... as centers of universal brotherhood."
"Yoga means balance, harmony, and unity."

Blessing for Martin
3:05 - 3:32 (27 min)
This gathering celebrates the opening of a divine āśram and the shared work of the past year. A story is told of a miraculous cave where a voice warns that taking something leads to regret, yet taking nothing leads to greater regret. This mirrors the opportunity within a project; some participate more, some less, but all contribution is appreciated. The work has created a center of spiritual light where visitors may find peace and understanding. Yoga is a science for healthy, happy, spiritual living, leading toward self-realization through lifelong willpower. It is embraced globally for physical, mental, and social health, serving as a path to the Supreme. All religious paths ultimately converge at one gate. The practice is essential, for everything is nothing without health. The roots of this teaching are ancient and must be preserved, just as a tree dies if its roots are cut. Teach with compassion, never forcing postures, but understanding each person's condition. Share the wisdom gained, just as a cherry tree returns a thrown stone with fruit.
"Yoga is a science of the human being. Yoga is very ancient, and it is given to humans to lead a healthy, happy, spiritual life."
"Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health."

Be joyful
3:40 - 4:07 (27 min)
The Guru's light manifests on earth as pure knowledge, requiring a living guide for correct spiritual practice. This divine principle, the Guru Tattva, is the same in all true teachers, yet disciples share an intimate, familial connection with their own. The guru's physical form is a vessel for this light; entering its radiant aura transforms one's energy. Even in the guru's physical absence, gathering with devotion in satsaṅg magnetically draws that divine presence. The quality of satsaṅg depends on the participants' internal energy. Approach it not as obligation but with joy, for your own energy determines the atmosphere. To elevate personal energy, engage in singing bhajans. Consciously replace negative thoughts with positive ones to rewire the mind toward happiness. A spiritual life must be a life of joy and inspiration, rooted in the constant feeling of connection to the divine.
"When bhaktas are together and singing my name, thinking on me, the Hari, the God, that divine energy comes to that place."
"Satsaṅg is not an obligation, but satsaṅg is a joy."

The Awakening of Consciousness: Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
4:15 - 6:09 (114 min)
The science of yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness. Yoga is the eternal balancing principle in the universe, not a religion or dogma. The cosmic vibration, declared as OM, exists within and outside us. Human life is a precious chance within the cycle of rebirth. The human intellect can be trained endlessly, and dormant abilities within are connected to the cakras, or energy centers. The subtle body has 72,000 nāḍīs, or channels, for transmitting consciousness and energy. The mind functions between the subconscious and conscious, taking in impressions that become desires. The intellect's duty is to give judgment. We normally experience three levels of consciousness: waking, dream, and deep sleep. Past deeds create our destiny, or prārabdha karma. The Kuṇḍalinī energy and the cakra system are responsible for developing consciousness and freeing it from subconscious fears. The major nāḍīs are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā, balancing emotion and intellect. Haṭha Yoga unites these sympathetic and parasympathetic principles. The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process of becoming wise and calm, not a physical sensation. The cakras are located along the spinal column and are psychic energy centers. They are connected to the five elements and influence the body. Mastery leads towards liberation, the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. This requires lifelong practice and guidance.
"Yoga is not a religion, it is not a philosophy, it is not a dogma, but it is the eternal principle in this universe."
"The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process; you don't feel it as a physical sensation. You feel happy, as if in the lap of the mother."

Meditation from Strilky
5:30 - 6:25 (55 min)
The practice of Nāda unifies sound within meditation to perceive the Self. Sit comfortably and close the eyes. Produce the sound "you" with the lips together, though the teeth must be positioned correctly to allow the internal resonance. Place fingers in the ears and listen to the sound internally. The aim is to perceive this sound throughout the entire head, unifying both halves of the brain. This perception is a foundational yoga. Do not be concerned with others or external sounds. Concentrate solely on the internal resonance until it fills your awareness. After practice, release the posture and integrate the experience.
"Listen, and then place your fingers here like this, about five times."
"Try to practice it so that you perceive the sound in the whole head, in both halves."

Repeat the name of Gurudev
6:55 - 7:22 (27 min)
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)
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.'"

Guru bhakta jagata me na rahe
8:25 - 9:08 (43 min)
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."

Pyare darashana diyo aj
9:15 - 9:18 (3 min)
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.

The form of God is the vibration
9:55 - 10:55 (60 min)
Oṃ is the divine sound, the origin and essence of all creation.
Oṃ is the primordial vibration, the sound-form of the absolute. Its written symbol contains a Bindu, representing both the point from which the universe emerged and the drop of immortal nectar. Yogis meditate upon it eternally. It grants desires and liberation. This is not a sound we create but an existing reality we resonate with through chanting. The practice of Nāda Yoga uses outer sound to journey toward the inner experience of Oṃ. At the highest stage, this sound is perceived directly, transforming into light and expanding consciousness. All true mantras contain Oṃ. It is described as the Word present at creation, the formless source that manifests as the three qualities composing the world. Spiritual practice without connection to Oṃ is considered fruitless. Chanting purifies, illuminates, and awakens divine bliss.
"Oṃ is the divine name. Oṃ is God."
"Oṃkār bina, sādhanā sapahote bikārī re."

Soul is One
11:00 - 12:12 (72 min)
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.
Pranayama and flute music
12:20 - 13:29 (69 min)
Prāṇāyāma requires consistent, disciplined practice, not a single intense session. Beginners often complete rounds quickly, but with relaxation, the breath naturally slows, extending the practice time. Use a timer, not a fixed round count, and observe your own rhythm. Never force the breath, as forcing yields no benefit, only resistance. Yet, discipline is required to overcome laziness; apply common sense to avoid both fanaticism and inertia. Practice one type of prāṇāyāma consistently for months to master it. The effects become clear with sustained, longer practice. Sound vibration, like chanting Oṃ, has proven physiological benefits, such as stimulating nitric oxide production, which masters understood before modern science. The process of spiritual refinement, like crafting a flute, involves patiently removing inner obstructions to reveal one's true nature.
"Never force prāṇāyāma. You know, from the Guru Gītā, if you force the prāṇāyāma, you will not gain anything, only contra."
"If you want to manage everything, you will lose everything. But if you keep one thing, you will master this."

We should believe in God
13:35 - 14:49 (74 min)
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."

Memories and experiences on the yoga path
16:20 - 17:08 (48 min)
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."

Evening satsang from Bhari Khatu
17:15 - 19:39 (144 min)
The world is an illusion without the remembrance of the Divine. Life is as useless as a bird without wings, a tree without fruit, or a well without water. Without the Name of Hari, nothing has value. Work, anger, greed, and lust are not the path. No one and nothing in this world is truly yours; it is all a temporary play. The true companion and guide through this illusion is the Guru, the Satguru, who imparts the nectar of wisdom. Only through the Guru's grace and the practice of remembrance is liberation found.
"Without a temple, like a Pandit Ved without a Heena, there is no Hari Naam."
"Play, oh everyone. Play, oh Chālika. Play, oh everyone."

Hanuman Chalisa is for everyone
20:30 - 21:18 (48 min)
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."

Identification with the name
21:25 - 22:33 (68 min)
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."

Don't sleep in a dream of ignorance
22:40 - 23:27 (47 min)
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."

Atma resides in all creatures
23:35 - 0:04 (29 min)
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."
