Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Nadlac, Romania.
Become one with the energy of Bhagawan
1:45 - 2:18 (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."

How do we practice Bhramari?
2:25 - 2:44 (19 min)
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."

Practising yoga strengthens the immune system
2:50 - 3:08 (18 min)
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. Many worldwide adopt yoga and renounce harmful habits. Practice in India exists but depth varies, with strong centers and broader adoption abroad. The Indian government now promotes yoga widely.
"During the COVID times, yoga has really helped us in developing our immune system."
"India has given this knowledge of yoga to the world."

Miracles are in our service
4:10 - 5:25 (75 min)
The grace of the Guru manifests through selfless service and faith, not the pursuit of miracles. A true teacher serves all without distinction. After a gathering, the teacher ensured latecomers were fed first, personally serving them sweet food. In another instance, a small amount of food was made to feed hundreds after the teacher covered the pot with a shawl, demonstrating that faith provides abundance. "When you have all eaten and your stomach is full, my stomach is also full." "Why are you thinking that we don’t have? We have, Guru has." Miracles occur naturally around the sanctified but are not to be sought. A story tells of a man healed of leprosy through an herbal purgative and a mantra. He later, through simple faith in that herb, helped others find lost animals, reconcile a marriage, and even cause an invading army to retreat by serving them the same purgative. This illustrates that devoted service itself is the miracle. Seeking special powers leads to difficulty. "They don’t make miracles, but the miracle is there." Contentment and selfless action are the true paths. Hold to the teachings.

Bhajan evening in the Jadan Ashram
5:30 - 6:09 (39 min)
The senses are powerful and create the entire world of entanglement. The ten senses within the body are difficult for any yogi to fully master. The world is ensnared by their play, particularly by the lower senses like taste and procreation. All beings, from Brahma to animals, are bound by these senses. Their force is the great delusion that must be conquered.
"The senses are a powerful force of delusion; what has this entangled world become?"
"All beings of the world are under the control of these senses. What has this world become, so entangled?"

Bhajan singing in the Jadan Ashram
6:15 - 7:33 (78 min)
The promise to the divine must be fulfilled. A vow made to the Guru and the Lord is an absolute commitment that defines the spiritual path. This promise is the essence of devotion and the means to liberation. The devotee's role is to uphold this word above all else, regardless of the coming and going of other followers. The ultimate aim is to realize one's divine nature, supported by grace. Fulfilling this sacred promise is the core duty.
"He has to keep his promise to the Lord."
"When I die into my eyes, they will mutely say, 'I will be God.'"

Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
7:40 - 8:02 (22 min)
The essence is the unstruck sound, the Anāhada, realized through devotion beyond form and thought. This is not an experience of the body or mind. It is beyond all attributes, beyond the forms of Rama or any shadow. It is the formless void that holds the supreme form. Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it. It is understood only through the grace of the true Guru. One must surrender at the divine feet, seeking mercy and blessings for liberation. The devotional offering is the path.
"Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it."
"Please bless me with your blessings, I request you, O Guru."

Bhajan evening from Jadan Ashram
8:10 - 8:47 (37 min)
The compassionate Lord Śiva resides within the heart and bestows liberation. He is the primal Lord whose radiance fills all universes. Taking shelter in him ends pain and brings divine happiness. He cuts the noose of bondage with his own hand and liberates the soul. Worship and meditation upon this blessing cure diseases and remove all obstacles. Success is bestowed in the heart, and one obtains everything without asking. Focus the mind on the Guru in the heart to dispel all sorrow. Through the Guru's grace, all ignorance is destroyed, revealing the true self. One who serves the True Guru never falls into hell, and all fears vanish. Merge the mind in the True Guru.
"He Himself respectfully calls out to His devotees."
"One who meditates on this blessing, their obstacles and troubles will not remain."

Follow the path of Bhakti
8:55 - 10:17 (82 min)
The path of devotion and Guru's grace overcomes the universal power of māyā. You cannot escape māyā, but by surrendering to the Guru and following the spiritual path, you can cross it. A sādhu's anger after years of tapasyā shows māyā's presence. The path of knowledge can inflate ego, leading one back to devotion. True bhakti brings divine intervention, as shown when Lord Jagannāth personally fed a starving devotee to preserve his family's faith. Perseverance is essential; like dogs chased from every village, one must continue without stopping until reaching the destination. When trouble arises, call upon the Guru for help to subdue it and proceed. Modern teachings often omit devotion to God and Guru, yet with pure devotion and faith, nothing is impossible. The mind wanders during practice; let thoughts come and go without following them, remaining focused. Do not complicate life by dwelling on the unchangeable past or unknown future. Live in the present. Stories help us recognize our own problems, which is the first step toward change. Feel the essence of prayer in your heart, for that feeling is more important than perfect form. Before forming any desire, contemplate its practical consequences to avoid unforeseen burdens.
"If you believe and have trust in God, in the Guru, you will get what you wish for."
"When we realize that we have a problem, when we are aware that we behave in this and that way, in that moment, we are able to change our behavior."

Be the tool
10:25 - 11:09 (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."

Chantiing A-U-M and Kundalini Shakti
11:15 - 12:28 (73 min)
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."

Purify yourself inside and out
16:00 - 16:43 (43 min)
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 spiritual family
16:50 - 17:41 (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
17:45 - 18:35 (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."

Everyday practising is important
18:40 - 19:01 (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.
"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."

Introduction to Bhramari Pranayama
19:05 - 20:00 (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."

Yoga leads to the healthy way of life
20:05 - 20:49 (44 min)
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."

Chakras in the human
20:55 - 22:05 (70 min)
Yoga is the primordial balance from which creation arises. It existed before form, in the limitless dark of śūnyakāśa. From that void emerged the supreme resonance, Nāda-rūpa-parabrahma, the sound that is Śiva. Śiva, the self-manifested one, declared "Eko’haṁ bahu syām"—I am one, I shall multiply. Creation began from the interplay of space and consciousness, held in harmony. This harmony is yoga, the balance of our physical, mental, and subtle bodies. The sound Oṁ is the seed of all 8.4 million creatures. Human consciousness is distinct; consuming animals obstructs the path to highest awareness. True yoga requires systematic practice under a guide. The human body contains 72,000 nerve channels and energy centers, or chakras, rooted in the earth element. These centers connect our being to the foundational energies of creation. Practice begins with grounding and the correct pronunciation of sacred sounds to awaken inner balance.
"Yoga is one of the first things in creation."
"Therefore, our ṛṣis and munis in India, great saints, brought this principle: 'Thou shalt not kill, and not eat these dead bodies.'"

Mantra for harmony
22:10 - 22:58 (48 min)
Mantra is the power of mind and speech, rooted in the word 'man' for mind. Fear is a dominant power residing permanently within us from childhood, extending to learning, work, and relationships. This fear can be invoked by a single word, a 'mantra' of threat. Speech holds immense power; a wife's words can keep a husband awake, just as a husband's words can affect his wife. There is a difference in the qualities of expression between men and women. The essence of true mantra is found in positive, respectful, and harmonious communication that carries spiritual power, like a sacred poem. A guru's grace is essential for real spiritual liberation, not self-proclaimed attainment. All beings, even divine figures, have a guide. Mantra can be used for good or ill, so we must choose words that bless and connect.
"O Tulsīdās, don’t go in that house. Even if the diamonds are falling down in your house."
"Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Deva Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ."

The Incarnation of Holy Guruji
23:05 - 23:54 (49 min)
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."
