Everything is created by sound
0:40 - 1:42 (62 min)
Yoga is the union and harmonization of body, mind, and spirit. The ancient wisdom of the Vedas reveals that creation emerged from divine sound, the primal resonance of Aum. This sound manifests as light and then as the entire cosmos, including the human form. The body is a perfect creation, engineered with intricate systems and controlled through energy centers known as chakras. Each chakra, symbolized as a lotus, contains specific resonances and seed mantras that govern its function. The ultimate reality is the formless, eternal Brahman, which resides within all beings. Self-realization is the process of understanding one's own body, mind, and emotions, leading to the awareness of this inner divinity. True yoga practice cultivates non-violence, peace, and health in daily life, balancing one's being and actions to avoid causing harm, as every action returns like a boomerang.
"The Sanskrit alphabet is called Devanāgarī. Deva is God, and Nagarī means a citizen—a citizen of the divine world."
"Yoga means uniting, balancing, and harmonizing body, mind, and intellect."

Become one with the energy of Bhagawan
1:50 - 2:23 (33 min)
The spiritual pilgrimage is a rare achievement of the soul, likened to a fruit surviving from blossom to harvest. Ancient pilgrims endured immense hardship with singular focus on the divine. Modern ease can invite disrespect, as seen when indulgence at a holy site provoked a destructive natural response. This place demands purity; most who come are purifying their karma. India is a unique spiritual source, like a diamond mine, where all gods are worshipped as one without conflict. Divine incarnations themselves endured great troubles. Human life is for dispassion, not attachment. When divine light awakens, consciousness expands to perceive the unity in all.
"Of course, the whole earth is a Bhārat Mātā, and all countries have their Mātā, mother. But only India can be called Bhārat Mātā."
"Without vairāgya, you cannot renounce. And without renouncing, you are in attachment."

Peace Tree planting in Villach
2:30 - 2:47 (17 min)
This tree is a symbol of peace and life. It stands as a mother and father, enduring all conditions. We seek peace, yet the world is filled with hatred and anger. The power lies in forgiveness and understanding. This tree represents nonviolence, which is deeply needed. Peace originates from our hearts and from Mother Nature. The mantras chanted here provide safety and energy to all living beings. Positive wishes for health and peace made here will be fulfilled, but negative wishes will not. This location was waiting for this tree, which now acts as a center.
"This tree stands here for us, as everyone has said, for peace."
"Peace and ahimsā, and peace comes from our hearts, or from Mother Nature."

Introduction to Bhramari Pranayama
2:55 - 3:50 (55 min)
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."

The Science of Kriyā Yoga
3:55 - 4:35 (40 min)
Kriyā Yoga is the science of movement, purification, and attaining divine light. Yoga is the harmonizing science for body, mind, and soul, given by Swayambhū Śiva. The human birth holds a unique potential, but it is threatened by the inner crocodiles of desire, anger, and ego. These negative forces are a consuming fire. One must awaken into the light of kindness, knowledge, and love for all. Humans often become their own enemies through jealousy, hatred, and greed, forgetting their dharma. Yoga is a complete way of life leading to salvation. Kriyā means action and movement, inherent in the expanding universe, the changing stars, and the rotating earth. This perpetual motion exists within the human body through breath, circulation, and thought. Kriyā Yoga is the practice of balancing these inner energies to purify consciousness. Specific Kriyās, like Ujjāyī Prāṇāyāma or Agnisāra, maintain health and awareness. Even digestion and sleep are Kriyās. Consistent practice purifies karma and elevates consciousness toward light; neglecting it causes a rapid decline. This path requires discipline and grace.
"Within you is the ocean of immortality. Within you is the fountain of joy, and within you is the immortal soul."
"Kriyā Yoga is the highest technique within yoga. But with that, you have to have a blessing."

The spiritual family
4:40 - 5:31 (51 min)
The quality of our era is determined by our inner state. While some lament this age, it offers unique tools like rapid travel and distant connection. The key is to extract only the nourishing essence from the vast information, like the swan separating milk from water. Our experience of time depends on our inner qualities. This gathering is a timeout to calm our inner dialogue, not to escape life but to gain clarity before re-engaging. We require the support of our spiritual family for strength. Utilize this time for serious practice, particularly prāṇāyāma to settle the agitated mind and prāṇa. Calm the body through deliberate movement to quiet mental disturbances. Simplify your environment and focus intently, avoiding distractions like constant drinking which disrupts inner fire and focus. Move from mere belief to direct understanding.
"Take the pearls, take the milk, and leave the water."
"Our meditation and practice are not about running away but about taking a timeout before returning to the game."

Day of happiness
5:35 - 6:25 (50 min)
The festival of Deepavali celebrates the return of Rāma, symbolizing the light of welcome and the joy of reunion. True happiness is found in the return of a long-absent loved one, where real love and devotion grow stronger daily if nurtured. All divine incarnations and holy beings face great difficulties in their service. Human emotions like greed and anger, when they enter awareness, lead to wrong actions and can corrupt relationships. The story of Rāma’s exile illustrates this. King Daśaratha, bound by a past promise to his queen Kaikeyī, was compelled to exile his eldest son Rāma for fourteen years and install Kaikeyī’s son as king instead. Rāma, his wife Sītā, and his brother Lakṣmaṇa accepted this decree with equanimity. Rāma expressed happiness in relieving his father’s vow, fulfilling his mother’s wish, and gaining the opportunity for spiritual learning in the forest. Upon Rāma’s eventual return, the people of Ayodhyā lit countless oil lamps to guide his path, creating the Festival of Lights. This tradition continues, though the focus has also shifted to worshipping Lakṣmī for prosperity.
"Rāma said, 'I am the happiest person in this world today.'"
"People were celebrating, all so happy. So they put the lamps on the path."

Bhajan singing on the Satsang
6:30 - 6:57 (27 min)
The human opportunity is singular; the mind must repeat the divine name. Surrender to the true Guru at whose feet all pilgrimages reside; he destroys doubts and bad qualities and grants liberation from worldly existence. Through his grace, one receives his vision and realizes the true Self. The Guru, established in the absolute, is the universe's protector and his glory is beyond description.
"Give your body and mind to Sāddhā Gurudeva, and he will destroy all your doubts and all your bad qualities."
"Through Guru Kṛpā, through the mercy of Gurū Deva, we receive his darśan. And at his holy lotus feet, we recognize the Ātmā."

Bhajans evening from the Strilky Ashram
7:40 - 8:43 (63 min)
The human body is a sacred shawl and a divine coach, given for a short time. The shawl is woven from the five elements on the wheel of the eight chakras, colored by the name of God. Fools soil it quickly, but saints keep it pure. The body is a coach pulled by ten powers, guided by the mind, with the soul as the king inside. Five thieves—desire, anger, pride, greed, and ego—steal this coach until the guru's word drives them away. This world is a two-day meeting; we arrive and depart alone, accompanied only by our deeds. The goal of life is nothing less than God-realization.

Bhajan evening in the Strilky Ashram
8:50 - 9:43 (53 min)
Awaken from the slumber of ignorance. Time is slipping away after countless sorrowful lifetimes. The human birth is a priceless diamond, not easily attained again. One wanders through existences trapped in illusion without the True Guru. Take refuge in the True Guru to shatter illusions and fulfill this birth. Search for the Ātman within, for the divine resides in the heart. This world is false, a cage of karma and qualities where the soul suffers. One is bound by the "I" and attachment, yet is of the nature of immortal bliss. Through the Guru, one unites with Truth and ends the cycles of birth.
"Search for the Ātman within the human body. Rāma is found within, brother, awaken."
"This world is false. The True Guru explains the truth, but the fool disbelieves."

This temple is a sacred cave of diamonds, a center of divine energy for meditation and Vedic culture. Its establishment required great effort over time, facing obstacles as all good works do. This Vedic culture transforms individual impressions into human character, guiding one to a good path. Most people pass by such places unaware, but those who enter receive the diamonds of wisdom and reality. Modern education provides knowledge for worldly life, yet the essential knowledge to become truly human comes from parents imbued with Vedic tradition. This eternal tradition is never destroyed, though many have forgotten it. Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, a union of the individual with the infinite.

The Journey of the Soul: From the Ocean to the Drop
14:00 - 14:54 (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."

The Path of Discipline: Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna and the Inner Chariot
15:50 - 16:37 (47 min)
The Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna is a profound sādhanā for spiritual development. This practice brings peace, balance, and self-awareness. The complete discipline lasts three months, requiring strict isolation, silence, and a pure diet. Most practitioners undertake a shorter, condensed version. Success demands rigorous physical and mental preparation, including bodily stillness and dietary control. The ten indriyas, or senses, are like horses pulling the chariot of the body and mind. Their control is essential, as desires and mental modifications are major obstacles. The practice aims to internalize awareness, leading to the perception of inner sounds and, ultimately, a transcendent resonance. Discipline over the senses and avoidance of distracting sensory contact are foundational.
"Patañjali said, 'Atha yoga anuśāsanam.' Out of a hundred people, perhaps thirty percent will be successful."

The words of Satguru Chalisa are like pearls coming from the haven. God's energy is pure and goes to everyone. We can do neti every morning to clean our nose and lungs also. It is better to clean our teeth with our fingers without a brush. Sometimes animals are also cleaning their teeth. Many diseases begin to develop from the tension which can be between husband and wife. We learn the movements of animals with the help of yoga.
Explanation of Shank Prakshalan kriya
18:30 - 19:07 (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."

Be the tool
19:40 - 20:24 (44 min)
The spiritual path requires surrendering the ego's claim of being the doer to become a tool of divine grace. A dog pulling a chariot mistakenly believes it carries the entire load itself. Similarly, Hanuman once thought his great deeds were his own doing. Rama then sent him on a difficult journey to deliver a ring to a sage. The sage threw the ring into a vessel filled with identical rings from every divine incarnation, revealing that countless servants have come before. The practitioner must pray to be an instrument, allowing divine energy to flow through selfless service. All actions, like leading a yoga class, become energized when performed with the attitude of "I am not the doer." Spiritual work must be done invisibly, without seeking recognition, as showing off one's fasting or prayers feeds the ego. The guru's guidance acts as medicine that may stir up inner impurities, which is necessary for purification. Life is like entering a cold, testing ground; the aim is to emerge with one's inner purity intact. By focusing on personal cleansing through practice, one naturally illuminates the surroundings.
"Only what is important for us is to understand and to pray to be the tool."
"Always be aware of Hanumānjī when he realized that a lot, and so many, was before him and so much will be after him, and only pray for grace, for great luck, to get the opportunity to be the tool."

Everyday practising is important
20:30 - 20:51 (21 min)
Spiritual progress requires consistent daily practice, not occasional effort. The journey demands integrating discipline into ordinary life, balancing responsibilities while maintaining steady effort. Merely visiting an ashram once a year is insufficient; one must practice at home, morning and evening. Proficiency develops over years, like a child learning gradually. Just as a pilot must operate an aircraft regularly to maintain skill, so must one engage in spiritual practice diligently. This is our life, and everything in it matters. The work continues wherever you go.

The incarnation day of the Satguru is observed. A saint's life bears extraordinary signs, like the infant Krishna revealing the universe. There are two kinds of incarnations: those for a special purpose and those who bless the earth daily through their presence and words. The Guru's bhajans are the resonance of divine knowledge, their words like jewels that go directly into the heart. These compositions are the words of the Vedas, made comprehensible. The Guru and his own Guru are one in the transmission of this knowledge. True discipleship means becoming an instrument, with the divine writing through the devotee. This oneness is the essence of spiritual realization. The Guru's life was a continuous blessing and a series of tests, demonstrating that the master provides all necessities. True spiritual wealth is internal, not in external robes.
