Pranayama and flute music
0:40 - 1:49 (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."

Around the world - Inauguration Nandeshwar

Arrival of Nandeshwar to Om Ashram. Jadan, Rajasthan, India.
Around the world - International Seminar on Indian Culture (1/2)
2:10 - 3:31 (81 min)
Yoga is the essential practice for peace, requiring direct experience over theory. Indian culture and values provide the foundation for a harmonious life, yet modern focus drifts toward material Western influences. True education balances material knowledge with spiritual wisdom, as both are necessary for the complete human being. Cultural roots must never be forgotten, for they sustain identity and purpose. The global presence of Sanātana principles reveals a shared heritage, fostering universal peace. Personal transformation through practice and traditional saṃskāras cultivates inner discipline and societal harmony.
"Tons of theory are nothing compared to a gram of practice. Until we practice yoga, there is no yoga."
"Our roots are here, so we should stick to that. No matter how high you have reached, you should never forget your roots."

Take the responsibility of your life
3:35 - 4:08 (33 min)
The path of yoga requires abandoning excuses to take full responsibility for one's life. People consistently lie to appear better, blaming trauma, astrology, or external conditions to avoid change. This excuses reveals weakness and a lack of self-control. A true yogī rises above all such circumstances, transforming even the worst conditions into the best. This demands present-moment awareness and becoming a detached observer. By observing internal signs before emotions fully manifest, one can choose a different response. Do not wait for a future moment to act or improve; utilize the present. Acting instinctively places one on an animal level; pausing to remember a higher principle activates human consciousness. Seeing the unconscious patterns within allows for their transformation, which is the essence of yoga.
"Everybody lies because we always want to be seen in a better light."
"Everything is predictable if we are observing and if we are aware."

In the home of the soul

Summer 2003. in India with presentation of Yoga In Daily Life projects and Swamijis lecture
Atma resides in all creatures
5:25 - 5:54 (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."

Hymns of Adoration and the Nirvāṇa Ṣaṭkam
7:30 - 7:53 (23 min)
The true Self is pure consciousness and bliss, beyond all attributes and dualities. It is not the body, the senses, the mind, or the elements. It is without hatred or attachment, virtue or vice, pleasure or pain. It is not the doer, the enjoyer, or any object of experience. This Self is Shiva, the eternal, all-pervading reality. Devotion to the sacred form, the Linga, is praised as a means to destroy all sorrows and sins, leading one to Shiva's abode. These hymns point to the formless truth while honoring the forms that guide the mind toward it.
"I am not the mind, intellect, ego, or consciousness; nor the ears, tongue, nose, or eyes. I am not space, earth, fire, or air. I am the form of consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva."
"To the Linga worshipped by Brahma and the gods, the destroyer of the sufferings of birth, the always auspicious one, to that Linga of Sadashiva, I bow down."

Bhajan singing from Jadan
8:00 - 8:17 (17 min)
True refuge is found only in the divine name and the realized teacher.
Seeking refuge in worldly attachments leads to suffering and delusion. The divine name is the ultimate sanctuary, the true crossing from darkness to light. All other shelters are temporary and false. The teacher, as the embodiment of grace, is the boatman who facilitates this crossing. To take refuge is to surrender completely, abandoning all other supports. This surrender alone brings liberation from the ocean of worldly existence. The name and the teacher are the singular, eternal refuge.
"O Guru Sukhadhāmasvāmī, [you are] the cause of happiness for the entire world, the liberation from attachment."
"Refuge is yours. Sri Kanata, refuge is yours. Sri Cintāmita, refuge in the body is yours."

Bhajans on the Satsang
9:10 - 10:00 (50 min)
A devotee expresses a profound longing for spiritual liberation and the Guru's grace. The plea is to become the dust at the Guru's feet, seeking awakening through a sacred mantra. The request is for all karmic bonds to be severed. The heart yearns for the Guru's holy company, a longing so deep it brings tears. The devotion culminates in repeated, fervent invocations and praises to the divine Guru and the lineage.
"O Gurudev, please let me be the dust of your feet."
"Please remove all the chains of my karmas."
The form of God is the vibration
10:05 - 11:05 (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."

We should believe in God
11:10 - 12:24 (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."

Evening satsang from Bhari Khatu
12:30 - 14:54 (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."

Consistent personal practice and prayer are foundational, with prayer being the most important element for a correct and good life.

Hanuman Chalisa is for everyone
16:40 - 17:28 (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."

Memories and experiences on the yoga path
17:35 - 18:23 (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."

Identification with the name
18:30 - 19:38 (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."

Soul is One
19:45 - 20:57 (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.
The Journey of the Soul: From the Ocean to the Drop
21:05 - 21:59 (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."

Explanation of Shank Prakshalan kriya
22:05 - 22:42 (37 min)
Haṭha Yoga practices purify the body and awaken energy to support all spiritual paths. Aspirants seek happiness and health, finding a primary yoga path according to their nature—Karma, Bhakti, Rāja, or Jñāna—yet all paths are interconnected. A strong, healthy body is essential, cultivated through Haṭha Yoga's cleansing techniques. These include Neti for the head, Nauli and Agnisāra Kriyā for digestive fire, and Kapālabhāti to awaken the brain. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is a profound intestinal cleanse using warm salt water and specific movements, requiring proper guidance. It purifies the entire system, leading to lightness and improved digestion. Following the cleanse, one eats simple, sāttvic food like kicharī to restore the body. This practical work on health supports a life of service and spiritual practice.
"Without Bhakti, we cannot do Karma Yoga. Without Jñāna Yoga, you can’t do Bhakti Yoga."
"Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is not only the emptying of the whole intestine; it is a purifying, a washing only with that which we have from nature: water and sea salt and movement."

Pranayama and flute music
22:50 - 23:59 (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.
