Around the world - International Seminar on Indian Culture (1/2)
1:10 - 2:31 (81 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the essential practice for peace, requiring direct experience over theory. Indian culture and values provide the foundation for a harmonious life, yet modern focus drifts toward material Western influences. True education balances material knowledge with spiritual wisdom, as both are necessary for the complete human being. Cultural roots must never be forgotten, for they sustain identity and purpose. The global presence of Sanātana principles reveals a shared heritage, fostering universal peace. Personal transformation through practice and traditional saṃskāras cultivates inner discipline and societal harmony. "Tons of theory are nothing compared to a gram of practice. Until we practice yoga, there is no yoga." "Our roots are here, so we should stick to that. No matter how high you have reached, you should never forget your roots."

Live your days spiritually
2:35 - 3:10 (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
Suffering makes us strong
4:05 - 4:37 (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."

Removing pollution from the body and mind
4:45 - 5:26 (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 in Jadan Ashram
5:30 - 6:12 (42 min)
Recorded on
The light that upholds the universe is the Guru, the cause of crossing life's ocean. You are that light, upholding divine honor. Meeting the Lord is the greatest honor, sanctifying life through endless cycles. The Guru bestows the jewel of the Supreme Sovereign. Practice Japa and remain absorbed in meditation on the Self to attain Nirvāṇa. Applying yourself to meditation destroys the sorrows of birth. All desired tasks are accomplished, and life becomes successful. For a moment's Darśana, one studies for hundreds of births; the Guru strengthens faith, and the devotee swiftly crosses the ocean of existence. "If you practice Japa, remain absorbed in meditation on the Self, you will attain the state of Nirvāṇa." "For the sake of a moment's Darśana, one studies scriptures and sūtras for hundreds of births." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Bhajan singing from Jadan Ashram
6:20 - 7:06 (46 min)
Recorded on
The yogi's sleep is a state of yogic consciousness where wakefulness is known within sleep, and day is known within night. It is a sleep without support, upon a white stone slab. In that sleep, one knows the day within the night. It is a sleep of knowledge, leading to the state of Nirvana. Through this practice, one meets the Supreme Person. The true form is revealed when one meets that Person. The guru's assembly reveals the true knowledge. The body is without a country; the divine person is wondrous. One who worships in this way is absorbed in the guru. "Us nindrāme jagratā jāne, punirātri me divasu jñānī hai." "Deha binā deśikānī hai, Deva Puruṣa dabhuta havāliyā."

Vegetarianism is spreading
8:50 - 9:51 (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

Quality of yoga is missing
10:40 - 11:40 (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
How to educate the children?
11:45 - 12:48 (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
The Eternal Resonance of Sacred Sound
12:55 - 13:54 (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
Practising Asanas
14:00 - 14:47 (47 min)
Recorded on
Yoga practice is an inner journey, not a physical workout. We practice to calm down, feel inner peace, and be aware of each movement. Relax the whole body and observe your feelings. The key is to quiet the inner dialogue. Breathing is fundamental; without proper breath, no asana is correct. Life itself depends on how we breathe. Short, clavicular breathing leads to stress and low energy. Learn to connect the abdomen, middle, and clavicle in one complete breath. Your posture reflects your inner state; practice builds inner strength and corrects the body's position. "Without knowing how to breathe, no āsana will be correct in a good way." "First, because your inner thoughts and feelings are reflected in your body." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Mantra and Guru
14:55 - 15:48 (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
Children's program on Gurupurnima
15:55 - 16:24 (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.'"

Yoga for a Healthier and Happier Life
16:30 - 17:17 (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 Journey of the Soul: From the Ocean to the Drop
18:05 - 18:59 (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
The Oneness of Ātmā
19:05 - 19:57 (52 min)
Recorded on
The ātmā is one; perceived difference is a pollution. Consider a cherry tree. Its thousands of fruits share the same seed, form, and sweetness. From one seed come millions, yet the quality remains identical. All souls are this one seed. Life exists everywhere: in water, on land, and in the air. Countless creatures inhabit each element. These beings sustain themselves, one consuming another, without sin, as they exist within that natural order. Humans possess a distinct consciousness, granting knowledge of pain and the capacity for mercy. This understanding elevates human duty to non-violence, to not inflict suffering. All life, from pure water to that which is impure, is fundamentally water. The condition is destiny, but the essence is one. The mind must be purified like water, filtering out negative qualities that obstruct spiritual ascent. Practice refines this inner instrument. "One in all and all in one." "Real dharma is that of not giving pain or suffering to anyone." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
Do not kill animals
20:05 - 20:42 (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
What have you done for others?
20:50 - 21:35 (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.
Where is our happiness?
21:40 - 22:27 (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
22:35 - 23:10 (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
Develop the quality
23:15 - 23:56 (41 min)
Recorded on
The five sheaths must be purified to attain pure prāṇa and higher consciousness. Pure quality is essential, not mere quantity. This purification is a gradual process of renunciation, requiring disciplined sādhanā. Few succeed because maintaining purity in body, thought, and action is difficult. Most are distracted by worldly desires and greed, which damage spiritual energy. The mind, intellect, and senses must be harmonized through discrimination. Impure energies create obstacles after death, while pure prāṇa leads to liberation. Renunciation of negative qualities is the gate to the divine. "Enter the kingdom of God through the gate of sacrifice. Renounce, renounce,... renounce." "Your yoga-sādhanā will be perfected through doing your sādhanā... the fire of yoga will burn all your karmas away." Filming location: Alexandria, USA
