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."

The human body is a microcosm of the universe, and specific practices can harmonize it. Attachment to the true Guru is the sole devotion that pleases the mind, for without understanding, the soul suffers. The priceless human form is meant for realization, where belief destroys the cycles of birth and death. The practice of Brahmarī Prāṇāyāma uses sound vibration to balance the brain's hemispheres. This yogic discipline is beyond mere exercise; it integrates the whole being. When perfected, this vibration purifies speech, enhances learning, and aligns the individual with the cosmic body. Mastery requires consistent practice to feel the equal resonance throughout the entire system. "Attachment is only to the Satguru, attachment is only to the Satguru." "Believe, and birth and death are destroyed." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Yoga in Daily Life Class of Level 3 at Sri Devpuriji Ashram, Zagreb, Croatia, January 2011

Vishwaguru Maheshwarananda Public Lecture, Kosice, Slovak Republic. Vishwaguruji reveals the secrets of our birth. We come from the beautiful Universe with peace and happiness within. This kind of realization is awakened by practicing meditation.

The divine principle is immanent within the natural order and our own being. The sun is a constant divine presence, essential for life; without its balance with the moon, earthly stability would fail. This cosmic balance mirrors the delicate equilibrium within our own bodies, where each organ is vital. To deny the divine nature of these elements is a form of blindness. The divine is not a separate, distant figure but is present in all things—the sun, moon, earth, and within ourselves. Argument over the form or name of God is futile and leads only to spiritual disease. Realization comes from understanding this inherent divinity in everything, returning fully to the sacred earth that supports all life without judgment. All names point to the same one reality. "Within two days, if the sun does not rise, we will be finished. And if we are not balancing this moon, then everything will fall down." "Therefore, let all go as they are going, but those who have the realization, they understand again, come completely down to the earth." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice of Brahmari begins. Place your index fingers in your ears to block outside sound. Keep your hands and elbows steady. Perform the sound eleven times, not for very long. Remain relaxed and attuned to your own feelings; do not think of others. After eleven repetitions, bring your hands down. Later, lie on your stomach. Place your right hand's middle finger on your navel, just resting above it. Keep your body straight and relaxed. Practice consistently; even one day is beneficial. These techniques bring relaxation and greatness. "Place your index fingers in your ears so that you will not hear anyone from outside." "Remain relaxed and attuned to your feelings as far as you can. Don’t think about others; you do it yourself." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Devotion is the direct expression of the heart's longing for the divine. The song is an offering, a plea for refuge in the guru, who is the true shelter. Through repetitive chanting and praise, the individual consciousness seeks to dissolve. The devotee acknowledges personal incapacity for rigorous practice, surrendering entirely to grace. Worldly attachments and the snares of illusion are recognized as binding. The sole request is for the guru's compassionate hand to provide crossing. Liberation is described as the burning away of latent impressions and the cessation of identification with elemental principles. The act of singing itself becomes the transformative path. "O Swāmījī, you live within, you live in my heart." "Japa tapa na hove mujhase, yahī Prabhu ārajāhe." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. Bhajan singing.

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. Bhajan singing.

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."

Morning Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. Regardless whether you understand bhajans or not, the resonance awakens spirituality in you. The resonance of the songs is reflected in our ten indriyas (organs of perception and action). Swami Sivananda said in his bhajan: those are my friends who understand my words. Shabda means sound, words. In the Gurukul, the warrior students learnt all mantras for archery. By the power of these mantras the arrow goes straight to where the sound of the tiger came from. Vishwaguruji explains the karmic sin of King Dasharatha, father of God Rama.

The seeds of yoga have grown for decades in these lands through grace and practice. The quality of the people here is immense spirituality, a search for God-realization. The practice of Yoga in Daily Life has spread this culture. Great blessings enabled its growth from small, humble beginnings. Everything described is the living play of divine grace, which makes the impossible possible. The essence is within. The body is a universe containing all ancestors and elements, which are immortal and merely transform. True yoga is union with the divine consciousness within all. "Do not let that quality diminish." "Everything I am telling you now is Līlāmṛta." Filming location: Kranj, Slovenia

This human life is a priceless opportunity not to be lost for trivial pursuits. Every breath is invaluable. Many engage in wasteful activities, forgetting their true purpose. They neglect service, compassion, and self-realization. The body is a divine gift, yet people chase illusions instead of inner truth. Time is the ultimate currency; wasting it is a profound loss. One must awaken to righteousness and devotion before life ends. "Every breath is priceless. It is not worth looting." "Time is money. Time is money." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The essence of Guru Tattva is realized through the dual forms of the Guru. The manifest, personal Guru is the accessible form for worship and guidance. The unmanifest Guru is the same reality, present within. The personal form is the practical means to reach the impersonal truth. The Guru principle is transmitted through an ancient spiritual lineage, symbolized by earrings representing the union of masculine and feminine divine energies. Spiritual progress requires purifying the inner instrument. This is achieved by cultivating pure relationships, seeing all beings through the lens of kinship—as mother, father, sister, or brother. This equal vision purifies thoughts and dissolves ego. Surrender is not a physical act but an internal melting of the heart. The Guru's words are a nectar that cleanses negative energies and cuts through karma, bestowing liberation. "Through that, you will come automatically to nirguṇa." "In this way, we can purify our antaḥkaraṇa, mana, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra—the mind, intellect, our consciousness, and our ego." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Morning satsang from Summer Retreat in Vep, Hungary. Listening to this lecture by Vishwaguruji we come to know the way a Master helps the Atma of a disciple on their journey towards the Light. Surya Nadi plays an important role in spiritual development.

This is the time to return to our inner self. Humans work very hard externally, constructing roads and buildings, often with environmental cost. This external endeavor is great, but we work too hard outside. If we worked on our inner body for one or two hours daily, that would be very good. Yoga is that inner engineering. It is not merely external exercise but acting for the whole world from within. The techniques are already within, showing how the body is continually made better. Yoga practice gives exercises for the inner body, leading to peace and harmony. The difference is we often do too much externally while neglecting the inner self. "We humans work too hard externally. If we worked on our inner body for one or two hours each day, that would be very, very good." "Yoga is the engineer, not a human. The techniques of yoga, all that God has made, are already within."

The master's care manifests through complete trust in his guidance. A story illustrates this: during a drought, a request was made for rain. The instruction was given to perform a fire ceremony. The promise was that rain would come. The ceremony began. Clouds gathered. Rain fell abundantly, filling the pond and fields. This demonstrates the principle. The master's power acts, often through indirect means. Similar events have occurred here, where following an instruction to chant for rain resulted in a downpour that filled an empty pond overnight. Another time, a directive to perform prayer beads for rain resulted in a flood. The mechanism is not for us to question. The essential element is trust. When asked to perform a task that seems beyond capacity, the ego resists. But the master's request implies the capability is present. One must proceed with faith. Trust enables the seemingly impossible. Without that trust, obstacles remain. "Go and have a fire ceremony at the watering place in your village, and then you will get rain." "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The teaching focuses on the practice of Brahmārī and the nature of the Guru. The Brahmārī is a technique centered in the heart, the body, and expressed through sound. There are many aspects to it, some unseen. True guidance is essential; attempting the practice without a genuine connection to a teacher can cause problems. The real Guru is a supreme principle, beyond even divine forms. Many are called guru, as anyone who teaches something holds that role temporarily. The physical distinctions of male and female are superficial; inwardly, there is unity. All beings and elements participate in this reality. Practice involves specific techniques of breath and awareness directed at the heart and navel, coordinating sound and inhalation precisely. "Above them is the guru. That guru is above even Śiva." "Everybody who gives us something is our guru." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

A journey unfolds from personal crisis to spiritual awakening through the Guru's grace. A life in America, surrounded by material pursuit, led to physical injury and deep questioning. Searching for healing introduced a reluctant yoga practice. Discovering a book compelled a journey to New Zealand, where a meeting with the Guru felt like a destined reunion. The Guru's instruction to teach and later to open an ashram was initially resisted but ultimately accepted. Teaching Yoga in Daily Life in the West reveals a society where yoga is often mere gymnastics and core values are crumbling. The current global situation acts as a collective tapasyā, forcing introspection. True yoga is not sequential postures but the purification of all layers of being, integrated into daily life and simple human interactions. "Everything is just crumbling. How can it get any better?" And Gurudev just said, "Put it in the fire." Tapasyā. "I practice Yoga in Daily Life. That’s my job on Wall Street." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Holy Guruji and Sri Mahaprabhuji meeting in Jodhpur. How bhajans are performed in India and around the world. Guru and disciple are always in connection with each other. Just as the relationship between mother and child is forever, even if they are not physically in the same place.

Satsaṅg is the company of truth that leads to spiritual development. Truth is the unchanging reality, Brahman, while the changing world is temporary. The soul descends through various births, bound by past karma, to experience life on Earth. Humans possess intellect and freedom of choice, making them responsible for creating new karma. The soul is a mixture of the individual consciousness and the universal Self. Through human life, one can purify karma and realize the true Self. Education and company from childhood shape one's mentality and path. Good society, or satsaṅg, inspires positive development, while bad society, or kusaṅga, leads to distraction and suffering. Temptations like addiction appear attractive but ultimately ensnare. True friendship is a partnership walking the path of truth. One should seek the company that elevates consciousness and makes good resolutions. "Sat means truth, and that truth is what we call brahma satya, jagat mithyā." "Humans have a different law... that is called intellect, which has the capacity of saṅkalpa and vikalpa." Filming location: Moravske Toplice, Slovenia
