Cleaning impurities
0:28 - 0:59 (31 min)
Recorded on
The human journey is the final opportunity to realize the supreme truth before returning to the cycle of existence. Bhārata is the cradle of a universal culture whose ancient influence once extended far across the earth. Modern science declares one human race, and scriptural philosophy states that among 8.4 million life forms, only the human is granted the capacity to unite with Brahman. The invented divisions of caste, race, and touchability are later human distortions, not the original divine design. True brāhmaṇa is knowledge of Brahman; kṣatriya is protection; vaiśya is nourishment. The human is separate from the animal realm where life consumes life. Through the fire of yoga, one can burn all karmas and impurities—the physical, mental, and energetic distortions that veil the self. When the drop of the individual soul merges into the ocean of consciousness, it becomes Śiva. Spiritual practice purifies these layers, but it requires great willpower, for impure energies can easily pollute mind and body. The original culture emphasized purity in thought, word, and touch. One must guard against all impurities to progress. "Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā: Brahman is the truth; the rest is unreal." "Human is human. Therefore, there was no caste system, neither in India nor anywhere in the world." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
A Welcome Address on Peace and Yoga
1:00 - 1:07 (7 min)
Recorded on
Peace is humanity's deepest longing, achieved through inner transformation. Outer circumstances reflect our inner state; greed, jealousy, and hate destroy peace. We must be the change we wish to see, serving as examples. True peace harmonizes us physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. Yoga provides a practical path, developing inner peace through spiritual techniques. This inner peace then reflects outward into our families and the world through our words and actions. The teachings and lineage of our spiritual masters guide this work of selfless service and universal unity, inspiring efforts for global harmony. "Be the change you want to see." "One and all, and all in one." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
The Role of Yoga and Meditation in Improving Quality of Life for Cancer Patients
1:15 - 2:22 (67 min)
Recorded on
Yoga and meditation can improve quality of life for cancer patients when used alongside standard medical care, not as a cure. Studies show yogic interventions, including specific āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation, help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in patients. This improves their sense of well-being during treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, evidence does not support claims that yoga cures cancer. Such false promises are harmful, causing patients to delay effective treatment until their disease becomes advanced and incurable. The principle must be welfare of all, first doing no harm. Yoga is applicable at all stages: for primary prevention through lifestyle, secondary prevention via early diagnosis, and tertiary care to alleviate suffering in advanced disease. More robust, large-scale studies are needed to confirm benefits and identify the most effective techniques. "Please do not give a false hope that your cancer will be cured." "Yogic intervention helps in relieving the stress level of patients and thereby improves their sleep." Filming location: Delhi, India
Removing pollution from the body and mind
2:30 - 3:11 (41 min)
Recorded on
Yoga and Ayurveda are ancient sciences originating from divine sources, not limited to recent historical figures. Yoga was given by Śiva, and Ayurveda began with Dhanvantari from the churning of the ocean. A story from the Rāma era, over 10,000 years ago, illustrates Ayurveda's power: Hanuman brought the Sañjīvanī herb to heal Lakṣmaṇa. It is incorrect to claim these sciences are only 5,000 years old, dating them merely from figures like Patañjali or Caraka. Yoga practice unites body, mind, and soul through postures and mantra, addressing impurities, disturbances, and ignorance. Humans, unlike other creatures, create significant pollution and illness due to erroneous lifestyles, including improper diet. Survival and peace come from practicing yoga and Ayurveda, embracing purity and selfless work, not material accumulation. "Yoga, the science of body, mind, and soul, was brought by Swayambhū Śiva." "Ayurveda means the knowledge of life, of health. It is said, 'Health is not everything, but without health, everything is nothing.'" Filming location: Debrecen, Hungary

Bhajan evening from Vienna 2
5:34 - 6:28 (54 min)
Recorded on
Surrender to the divine master is the path to liberation. The highest god is the ruler of all and resides within every cell. The true guru is ever-present, as the scriptures confirm. Those who surrender live without fear and attain the highest happiness. Constant repetition of the divine name allows one to cross the ocean of worldly existence. This world is a temporary play of coming and going; no worldly relation or possession aids the soul at death. Therefore, one must place one's entire life, success, and abilities into the hands of the immortal beloved. The final goal is liberation and eternal union with God. "O Gurudev, please protect me from this net of Māyā." "I gave you the whole responsibility over my life." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Singing Bhajans to the Masters
6:30 - 7:11 (41 min)
Recorded on
The radiance of satsaṅg, or holy company, is supreme. This association is the root cause of divine illumination. From satsaṅg, one attains the highest bliss and joy. It is praised as victorious and glorious. Worldly fears cannot touch one engaged in true satsaṅg. It is likened to the fragrance of sandalwood that permeates all it touches. This gathering is the essential means for realizing the divine presence within. "Oh satsaṅga jaya jana pā, Maliya garā kevai, Oh chandana melevo Svāmpaka satsaṅga tasi parama ānanda sukha pā." "Hameṁ kāma-satsaṅga se jagata-bhake to baka nehīṁ de." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Bhajan singing from Strilky
7:15 - 7:50 (35 min)
Recorded on
The heart is an endless ocean of divine bliss. Salutations are offered to the revered spiritual guide, who is the embodiment of the supreme. A prayer is made for all endeavors to be successful. This prayer acknowledges that all actions are already accomplished. The sequence presents a shift from future aspiration to past completion. The apparent inconsistency reveals a non-linear understanding of time. Success is not a future event but a present reality recognized through grace. The work is done in the spirit of that accomplished perfection. "make all my work successful." "And indeed, everything I do is accomplished successfully." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Do not kill animals

The path of purity is cultivated through disciplined living and devotion. Many consume all things without restraint, but such actions bear fruit. When advised against this, some resist. Adopting a purer way, such as refraining from certain foods, can inspire others through example. This discipline is a foundation. Spiritual ascent is likened to water: it rises pure, falls, and circulates. The human form is a precious opportunity. In relationships, devoted practice, like a wife's morning pūjā for her husband, creates a shared spiritual current. The body and life are temporary, but consciousness can merge with the pure, eternal source. Medical knowledge has limits, and actions that harm life contradict purity. The essence is to live so that consciousness rises, not descends into further entanglement. "Look, I will prepare my food and give you some too, you can eat, but I do not offer meat." "Please, I am... you will clean me, I am yours." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia
Suffering makes us strong
9:10 - 9:42 (32 min)
Recorded on
The divine descends into suffering to bear the pain of the world. In the difficult age of Kali, all beings endure hardship. Even divine incarnations like Kṛṣṇa and Jesus underwent profound suffering, demonstrating this universal condition. An old man's story illustrates how worldly success fades into loneliness and pain, revealing suffering's inevitability. Our physical bodies and possessions are temporary, but the inner soul remains. All beings, including sages and gods, experience suffering as they absorb the collective anguish. This shared experience ultimately dissolves into the divine. "All ṛṣis, sādhus, gurus, and God—all were suffering. They are taking from others our heart, our pain." "Better is that we quickly die than hurry home. That is why maybe it is good."

Chakras in the human
9:50 - 11:00 (70 min)
Recorded on
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.'"

How to educate the children?
11:05 - 12:08 (63 min)
Recorded on
Every day is a new beginning, and the true education for life comes from discipline, society, and inner wisdom. Parental strictness creates successful children, while laxness leads youth to seek guidance elsewhere, often from harmful habits. Society once collectively guided the young, with elders instilling immediate shame for wrongdoing, like a teacher punishing a student for smoking. Habit becomes a second nature. We now live in an age where negative influences are rampant, and only good karma allows one to rise. A teacher's discipline is an act of love, converting a disciple through wisdom and sometimes necessary firmness, unlike the false guru who offers destructive habits like drugs. Our health suffers from modern habits, fear, suppressed emotions, and ego in personal relationships, which create disease. While allopathic medicine is crucial for urgent care, natural living and gentle yoga practice offer a foundation for long-term health, happiness, and memory preservation, as they scientifically harmonize body, mind, and soul. "Gurujī used to say that habit is the second nature of man." "The guru converts his disciple into the guru. That's it." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
A Guru gives everything that we need
12:15 - 13:16 (61 min)
Recorded on
Without love, God will not come. Techniques are useless without devotion. A story illustrates this: a rich man's elaborate feast was rejected, while a poor devotee's offering of banana skins was joyfully accepted, for it was given with pure love. The sole path to divine union is love. The greatest obstacles are ego and jealousy. The guru, knowing each soul's destiny, provides a personal mantra to liberate the mind. Practice this mantra and selfless service to balance the blessings received. Surrender the heart completely. The authentic spiritual path is being diluted by commercial industries seeking control. Preservation requires establishing a universal standard rooted in tradition. "Prabhu prema binā nahī̃ āve, cāhe karo jaṭanā ājara re." ("Without love, God will not come, no matter how much effort you make.") "Samadarśī he namati hāro, cāhī to pāra karo."

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 2 - Part 1
14:00 - 15:03 (63 min)
Recorded on
The practice advances to the second level of āsanas and prāṇāyāma. Level two introduces seventeen postures, beginning and ending on the floor with standing poses in between. This level engages the real practice of āsana. Each posture follows a sequence: start from a position of concentration, move into the form, then either hold with normal breath or return. The effect is felt upon returning. Practice begins with OṂ, breathing, and relaxation. Full yoga breath combines abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular parts into a wave. Movement is then added to this breath. Āsanas include Śaśāṅkāsana, Meru Ākaraṇa Āsana, Bhūnamanā Āsana, Aśva Sanchalāsana, Utthāna Prastha Āsana, and standing poses like Hasta Uttānāsana and Akaraṇa Dhanur Āsana. Each has specific benefits and some contraindications. Practice concludes with systematic relaxation, alternate-nostril prāṇāyāma to balance energy and brain hemispheres, and OṂ chanting. "Every āsana has its starting position, in which you concentrate on the movement and the āsana you will perform." "The breathing can guide you very deep inside towards your inner self."

Yoga for a Healthier and Happier Life
15:10 - 15:57 (47 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the science for achieving health and peace through the balance of body, mind, and soul. The universe originated from Śiva, the self-manifesting source of all resonance and light, who bestowed the principles of creation and sustenance upon Brahmā and Viṣṇu. True yoga is an ancient practice from India, a land of holy vibration, and is not a competitive exercise but a personal worship that harmonizes the individual with the universal consciousness. Modern commercial variations like wine yoga distort this essence. Authentic practice, performed step-by-step without force, burns away impurities and fosters good health, which leads to good thoughts and ultimately world peace. The core of all religion is humanity, seeing the divine in everyone. "Yoga practice is balancing, harmonizing, and keeping health. The practice of āsanas is not a competition." "Yoga gives us good health, and good health brings good thoughts, and good thoughts make a good society, and a good society brings peace in the world." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia
The spiritual family
16:05 - 16:56 (51 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Miracles are in our service
17:00 - 18:15 (75 min)
Recorded on
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. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Eternal Resonance of Sacred Sound
18:20 - 19:19 (59 min)
Recorded on
The eternal resonance of sacred sound connects us to ancient wisdom. The Vedas were chanted for ages before being written. People mistakenly think yoga is only five thousand years old. The Saptaṛṣis existed before the compiler Vedavyāsa. A story tells of Dhruva, a neglected child given an unmovable star by God. This illustrates that divine love compensates for human neglect. The sound of his name and the voices of great saints remain through their words and compositions. Their resonance is alive when we chant their complete works with respect. True understanding awakens the body's every cell, unlike mere performance. "Even if someone died a thousand years ago, or five thousand, he or she who wrote this or sang that song, that person is still alive here." "Milk the cow and take the butter. The cow is still there. Keep your heart open." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Incarnation of Holy Guruji
19:25 - 20:14 (49 min)
Recorded on
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
You are the helper of everyone
20:20 - 21:13 (53 min)
Recorded on
The mantra "Oṃ Aki Rāchanā Śarīra" points to the uncreated body of Consciousness, not the physical form. This true nature is the eternal, unchanging Self that was never born and will never die. Chanting is not an invocation to something external but an affirmation of one's own reality. It dissolves identification with the temporary body-mind. The Uncreated Body is not an object to find but the very Subject, the I AM, and the knowing space in which all experience appears. It is the substratum of all states. Let the mantra's vibration resonate as a direct pointer to this truth. Chant with devotion and inquiry as a bridge from the illusion of being a person to the reality of pure Presence. "Oṃ, the Uncreated Body." "It is the very Subject, the I AM, the Knower of all experiences." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
What have you done for others?
21:20 - 22:05 (45 min)
Recorded on
Lecture by Sadhvi Shanti from Summer Yoga Camp in Vep, Hungary. We are climbing to the top of the mountain step by step. To follow the path is very important. At the end of your life, God will ask: "what have you done for others?" There are many things in nature that we can use for our spiritual development. The tree is always ready to accept.
Mantra and Guru
22:10 - 23:03 (53 min)
Recorded on
The human path requires a clear spiritual practice and a single, true guru. All beings share this human life, yet many have lost the heart's connection through worldly confusion. The morning routine is essential: awaken before sunrise in Brahmamuhurta, wash with water, and bring light into your space with a lamp and pure sound. This practice purifies the day. Your spiritual guru is one, just as a child has one mother and father. Do not change gurus or jump between paths, as this creates confusion. The guru gives the seed of knowledge directly to the soul. Attend other gatherings for learning, but your primary allegiance remains to your one guru. The wealth from a guru is inner knowledge, which cannot be stolen. Surrender body, mind, and this inner wealth in service. "From the morning when we wake up until the evening when we go to sleep... there is something within our body, in our brain, in our inner thoughts." "Do not change your gurus. If you change, you will not achieve anything. The guru is one." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Mantra for harmony
23:10 - 23:58 (48 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria
