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."

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."

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."

The Guru principle guides from darkness to light, celebrated daily through blessings. A children's program illustrates working with the mind. First, observe the mind's nature. Second, offer it something truly pleasurable, not worldly possessions. Worldly things cannot fill the mind, as it is insatiable. True fulfillment comes from beyond material offerings. The mind, when approached with understanding, will follow. Taming requires patient guidance, not force. The goal is inner freedom through this wisdom. "Guru means darkness, and Aru means light. So, the Guru is the principle that guides us from darkness to light." "The bowl said, 'It is the human mind. You would never fill it with worldly possessions, with worldly things.'"

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The refuge lies at the divine feet. By taking refuge there, one experiences supreme truth and bliss, becoming free from the cycle of birth and death. The mind finds its steady path. The Vedas and Puranas sing of this refuge. True devotion and knowledge lead to liberation. The divine name itself brings supreme happiness. The true Guru is incomparable.

A musical offering explores devotion through raga and sacred verse. The performance weaves classical composition with devotional poetry. It presents the longing of Meera, who found divine nectar in poison. It shares Kabir's metaphor of the body as a finely woven garment dyed in divine essence. The inquiry asks who truly comes and goes in this world of light and illusion. The teaching asserts that only the true Guru's name endures, while all else is transient. The offering culminates in universal salutations to the divine in all forms. "Rana ne vish diya, mano amrit piya. Mira saagar me sarita samaane lagi." "Santa, kun re āve re, kun jāye bole re? Jaari khabar karo." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.

The path requires a true guru to cross the ocean of worldly illusion. Life is a vast ocean where one drifts aimlessly without direction. The goal is to reach the harbor of self-knowledge, called Ātmajñāna. Finding a true master removes all fear, as that realization dries up the ocean itself. One then crosses with dry feet into liberation. Love for the master's lotus feet is what truly matters, making all worldly illusion disappear. By the guru's grace, karma and illusion lose their power. "By repeating His name, one can cross the ocean of ignorance." "Whoever has the form of the guru in their heart need not fear death."

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

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.'"

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

Practicing of the system "Yoga in Daily Life", Level 1 - Part 4, in Om Vishwa Deep Gurukul Swami Maheshwaranand Ashram, Jadan, Rajasthan, India on 23rd of October 2009.

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

The human journey is a rare opportunity for divine realization, not merely consumption. Possessing a human body is insufficient; one must cultivate inner qualities that lead toward light, not the darkness of violence or selfishness. Modern yoga often lacks authentic quality, becoming a commercial fashion focused on the body rather than the soul's development. True philosophy and science involve research to find truth without duality. Human life is the final milestone among countless creatures, meant for progressing toward light through the guidance of realized beings. We are primarily consumers, while great yogis are the manufacturers of a successful, truthful life. Real practice, or tapasyā, is to endure situations without anger or torture, accepting life with compassion and healthy discipline. This leads to liberation, avoiding the cycles of rebirth or astral imprisonment. Our energy, or prāṇa, connects the individual soul to the cosmic source. Human behavior should transcend animal nature through knowledge, help, and forgiveness, coordinating with mutual understanding like two donkeys learning to eat together. Modern technology imitates the yogic capacities of omnipresence and inner vision, which come from sincere practice, not for personal use but for inner realization. "Just to have a human body is not everything. We must cultivate the quality within us that leads to the light." "Tapasyā is when you say, 'The food is not for me, no problem.' To endure a situation, accept it, digest it without anger." Filming location: Retreat" Alexandria, Virgina, USA

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

God is within all life, and human purpose is to generate divine happiness. God exists within every creature and element. The earth itself feels our presence. Humans possess a unique capacity to consciously create happiness for God, akin to honoring one's parents. This is done by not harming other beings, for consuming meat is killing the divine life within. All actions should begin with reverence. Upon waking, acknowledge your human form and honor the earth. Perform morning prayers and offer gratitude before meals. This conscious practice sustains the connection. Neglect causes suffering to the world and to oneself. The daily ritual of awareness and thanks aligns human life with its sacred duty. "Where there is happiness, there is God. Where there is great happiness, there is God." "Upon waking, declare 'I am a human being.' This affirms your duty to harm no one." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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

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.

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." ("You are the equal-visioned one, the destroyer of pride; if you wish, take me across.") Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

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
