Yoga is offered as a sanctuary within a large music festival. For eleven years, we provide a daily practice, showing festival-goers how to relax deeply. Many newcomers try yoga here for the first time. We adapt to the fast-paced environment by offering 20-25 minute sessions tailored to individual requests for rest, asana, or meditation. Initial interest often comes from seeing dynamic asana practice. We always begin with simple, grounding exercises, not advanced postures. We emphasize preserving the tradition's purity and spirituality, contrasting with the popular strength-based styles. Our presence in this community space is essential, as many might not seek out a dedicated center. People practice even amidst loud music, achieving a withdrawal of the senses. This demonstrates that deep relaxation is possible anywhere. "Based on this, our prepared yoga instructors tailor the session accordingly." "The astonishing experience we have is that at most they achieve pratyāhāra, the withdrawal of the senses, so that they are absolutely undisturbed by what is happening outside."

Yoga is practiced in the heart of the city on a car-free day. Our international system, Yoga in Daily Life, was founded by an Indian master and has been present here for over thirty years. We have a center that has continuously held classes from the same location. Today, we practiced with children of various ages. It is interesting to practice yoga on this normally busy avenue. The experience proves you can practice undisturbed even here; the curious onlookers inspire us. We welcome visitors to try this tomorrow. "It’s a very interesting experience that you can practice yoga even in such a place, and nothing really disturbs you." "Let them also try what it is like to exercise their right on one of Budapest’s busiest streets." Filming location: Budapest, Hungary

Yoga in Everyday Life is a system of practice for daily living. We demonstrate its aspects at events like the Vegetarian Festival. The practice involves paying attention to bodily sensations, which connects you to vitality carried by circulation and prāṇa. The system offers recommendations, with a vegetarian lifestyle being foremost. It is not enough to merely be vegetarian; one must also move, exercise, practice prāṇāyāma, and relax. This philosophy aims first for good health, suggesting many troubles originate from the stomach and the sense of taste. Managing this is possible through the master yoga system. Beyond physical benefits, the philosophy makes life easier, providing opportunity to find oneself and ultimately reach the Self of God, Paramātmā. "Among these, the foremost is to maintain a vegetarian lifestyle." "He can deal with everything if he is involved in the master yoga system." Filming location: Budapest, Hungary

Yoga is a universal practice for complete human health and societal balance. It is not a dogma or a man-made religion, but the foundation of sanātana dharma, the eternal principle of harmony. True yoga encompasses all aspects of life, leading to peace and non-violence. Its aim is samādhi, the merging of knowledge, knower, and object into oneness. The discipline of Rāja Yoga is the ethical foundation of governance, where a leader must follow the same dharma enforced for all. A leader is given the dharma daṇḍa, the stick of righteous law, to protect the community with love and justice. Spiritual practice must be applied through selfless action. "Yoga is not a part of any religion. If, then, all religion is a part of yoga, because yoga is good health, happiness, harmony, peace, non-violence, understanding, kindness, and love." "Law is for all. Sūrya is rising for all, and therefore you will be punished. Not that you think that you are a king and you will not be punished. Dharma will punish you, the principle, the discipline, the rules." Filming location: Raumati Beach, New Zealand

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." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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."

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. "This mandir, this temple, Vedic and Vedic culture, we have lost." "Yoga is a science of body, mind, and consciousness. That’s all." Filming location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.

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."

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." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Morning program from Strilky, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing.

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 practice of breath and Brahmari requires consistent, moderate daily effort, not excessive exertion. Specific techniques exist, analogous to a balanced meal with various components. The practice involves three primary focal points: the heart, the navel, and the breath itself. One must learn to inhale and exhale properly through the nostrils, cleaning them as needed. The Brahmari technique follows these points and involves working with the breath's subtleties. Practice it briefly, for about five minutes, twice daily. Do not extend Brahmari for too long. The correct method uses the nostrils, with the lips closed and the mouth slightly open. This disciplined practice, done correctly, yields benefit. "You must practice every day." "We should take our breath in and out with both nostrils." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Satguru is a Guru who knows everything and gives knowledge to everyone. 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.

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." "Your body is that city, and you are the king of this kingdom. The senses are your subjects. Do not be their slave." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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. "Because, well, if not today, then perhaps tomorrow—like this." "If you cannot practice daily and only come once a year, then you are not on the journey."

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. "The bhajans we are singing are the words of the Vedas." "To put orange robes on your body is not to be a real sannyāsī. You have to live life as a sannyāsī." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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 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.

Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. Introduction to the second, extended version of Khatu Pranam.

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."

Yoga practice supports health and has spread globally. The community largely remained well, though some with prior conditions needed care. Illness returned partly due to neglecting precautions.

Sādhanā brings our inner impurities to the surface for cleansing. This process reveals our faults like jealousy and anger, but practitioners possess the awareness and discernment to address them. Ego can be used positively as necessary willpower. We are not sinners but the divine ātmā. The Guru appears in a human form but holds an inner, priceless difference: a boundless, transformative love for the disciple that is unparalleled. This love is a guiding light, teaching us to fully dedicate our own life and being. "Use your viveka, your jñāna." "The Guru has more love than God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

This lecture details the Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā purification techniques. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the cleansing of the entire intestine using warm, lightly salted water, performed early in the morning on an empty stomach. It involves drinking water and performing specific movements and postures to guide the water through the system. This practice is beneficial for conditions like high blood pressure and digestive issues but is not advised for those under 15, individuals with active ulcers or hernias, or pregnant women. Preparation includes a light diet the prior evening. The process continues until the expelled water runs clear. A strict diet must follow for at least one week, avoiding alcohol, meat, fish, eggs, and raw foods. Kunjal Kriyā is the cleansing of the stomach, performed after Śaṅkha Prakṣālana by drinking unsalted water to the point of fullness and then voluntarily expelling it. This practice helps purify the stomach and can aid those with bronchial asthma. The session concludes with rest and a meal of specially prepared kicharī. "The best time to do Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is in March, the beginning of September, the end of May, and before the winter." "After Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, you have to keep a diet for at least, strictly, seven days, one week, and up to one month." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

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 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." Filming location: London, UK

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.
