A Message of Peace from Prague
1:00 - 1:07 (7 min)
Recorded on
The key to our future is universal unity and peace. I witnessed this spirit in a crowded square where people of all languages smiled together, a vision for our world. Achieving this requires not just public desire but political will. Prague has a historical legacy of promoting peace, from medieval delegations to modern nuclear agreements. Our world faces civil wars, climate change, and threats from weapons and terrorism. I work with parliamentary networks seeking pledges from nations to not be first to use and to reduce nuclear arsenals, aiming to lower global risk. Support these efforts. True peace begins within each person. "There is only one God, the universal God, only one religion, humanity, and only one nation, humankind." "Peace among nations is dependent on peace in human beings." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
Yoga, Health, and Peace: A Medical Perspective
1:15 - 1:27 (12 min)
Recorded on
True health requires integrating physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being, which modern life disrupts. Our unnatural lifestyle causes chronic stress, damaging our organs and leading to widespread disease. Yoga is a holistic, evidence-based system addressing this. It works on three levels: conscious practices like meditation influence the cortex; prāṇāyāma calms the subcortical autonomic nervous system; and āsanas affect the peripheral organs. This integrated approach combats key modern ailments. Memory loss and dementia are epidemics, worsened by our reliance on technology and poor diet. Yoga, along with a vegetarian diet rich in healthy spices, is scientifically shown to preserve memory and prevent cognitive decline. Similarly, yoga techniques are proven to alleviate and prevent depression by fostering present-moment awareness. By restoring balance across all levels of our being, yoga guides us toward self-realization. Understanding our connection to others allows us to live in peace. "All these diseases are actually caused by an overload of stress." "Yoga techniques influence us on all levels: physical, mental, social, and spiritual." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
A Guru gives everything that we need
1:35 - 2:36 (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." ("You are the equal-visioned one, the destroyer of pride; if you wish, take me across.") Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Children's program on Gurupurnima
2:40 - 3:09 (29 min)
Recorded on
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.'"

Morning Meditation From Vienna

Meditation with Swamiji in English language.
Bhajan singing in the Strilky Ashram
5:30 - 6:05 (35 min)
Recorded on
The essence of spiritual transmission lies in the Guru's grace and the disciple's receptivity. The sacred words and hymns originate from the enlightened masters. These teachings are preserved in extensive texts. The precise historical details are less significant than the living truth they convey. The fundamental reality is known directly through this grace. Logical analysis of form cannot grasp this essence. The path is sustained by devotion and attentive listening. "Antaḥ Mūlaṁ Guru Vākyaṁ, Śravaṇa Mūlaṁ Guru Kṛpā." "Jaha sun chetan hai, aur nazar nahī̃ ānī hai..." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Bhajan singing from Jadan Ashram
6:10 - 6:45 (35 min)
Recorded on
A pilgrim's vision reveals the urgency of spiritual action. The traveler sees a form, a reminder of life's fleeting nature. Act now on what you must do, or face regret. Delay is not an option. The divine provides answers and sustains life. The true Guru's word is liberation itself. It is the final refuge and the ultimate truth. Hold firmly to that promise. "Whatever you have to do, do it. Otherwise, you will regret it." "The Guru's word is liberation. The Guru's word is liberation." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
6:50 - 7:25 (35 min)
Recorded on
Devotion manifests through repetitive praise and ecstatic song. The core practice is the invocation of divine names and gurus. This chanting is a phonetic rendering of a live devotional session. Its repetitive phrases are musical refrains, not discursive arguments. The varying epithets for deities are typical of invocation. The text is a record of spiritual expression, not logical exposition. Its primary function is celebratory praise. The content is an aural and devotional experience. "Guru Viśva Bādaśā, Arāja Sūno Sarkā." "Śiro maṇi manuṣya tā na dhārī huvā." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Bhajan singing from Villach

Evening program with Vishwaguruji from Villach, Austria. Bhajans.
The Eternal Resonance of Sacred Sound
8:20 - 9:19 (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 Journey of the Soul: From the Ocean to the Drop
9:25 - 10:19 (54 min)
Recorded on
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
You are the helper of everyone
10:25 - 11:18 (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
Where is our happiness?
11:25 - 12:12 (47 min)
Recorded on
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
Live your days spiritually
12:20 - 12:55 (35 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual day begins with conscious morning practices. Upon waking, affirm your humanity, recognizing this identity prevents harm. Honor both your biological mother and the Earth Mother. Touch water to connect with prāṇa, the life force. Then approach your altar for worship. Respect all beings in your home, including animals. Before leaving, bid farewell to your parents, maintaining that connection. Proceed through your day with awareness and helpfulness, returning home happy. This daily sādhanā cultivates a blossoming life. "Upon waking, our eyes open, and we say, 'I am human.'" "First is our mother, who gave us birth. And first, we have touched our mother, and that mother is the earth." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Mantra and Guru
13:00 - 13:53 (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
Practising Asanas from Vep
14:00 - 14:57 (57 min)
Recorded on
A yoga practice moves from stillness to dynamic movement, integrating precise alignment with collective rhythm. Begin in Śavāsana, lengthening the neck and stabilizing the lower back. Simple movements prepare the body, emphasizing synchronized group action over individual stretch. The practice progresses through leg lifts, spinal rolls, and postures like Śaśāṅkāsana, which calms fear and aids digestion. Dynamic sequences in Vajrāsana and variations like Uttānapṛṣṭhāsana strengthen the trunk and spine. A forearm Marjari variation mobilizes the thoracic spine. The session concludes with guided relaxation, allowing any comfortable position before rehydration. Synchrony and mindful breath are central throughout. "Śaśāṅkāsana reduces the fear in our heart, the stress and fear." "This will strengthen our whole trunk muscles. It will make the spine straight." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Yoga for a Healthier and Happier Life
15:05 - 15:52 (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
Vegetarianism is spreading
16:00 - 17:01 (61 min)
Recorded on
Diet and modern habits create disease and disconnect. Eggs introduce harmful bacteria into the intestine, leading to systemic illness. Alcohol is profoundly damaging. Fast food and hidden animal products in processed foods are widespread problems. Modern communication through messages erodes real conversation and family bonds, destroying social education. True health requires a disciplined, conscious diet and genuine human connection. "One egg has millions, millions of bacteria. They make rotten things rotten, and it creates also these rotten things in our intestine." "People forgot how to speak and how to communicate. So the social communication and social education get lost." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Suffering makes us strong
17:05 - 17:37 (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."

How to educate the children?
17:45 - 18:48 (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
Do not kill animals
18:55 - 19:32 (37 min)
Recorded on
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

Removing pollution from the body and mind
20:15 - 20:56 (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

Quality of yoga is missing
22:45 - 23:45 (60 min)
Recorded on
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
What have you done for others?
23:50 - 0:35 (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.
