Vegetarianism is spreading
0:25 - 1:26 (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
1:30 - 2:30 (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
Where is our happiness?
2:35 - 3:22 (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
The Journey of the Soul: From the Ocean to the Drop
3:30 - 4:24 (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
4:30 - 5:22 (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
Bhajan singing in the presence of Vishwaguruji
5:30 - 7:05 (95 min)
Recorded on
The divine lineage is invoked and praised, its grace and power are extolled. The Guru is the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and spiritual attainment. The gathering is reminded of practical conduct. The supreme Lord bestows happiness, wealth, and removes all obstacles and diseases for the devoted. The one who longs for the divine is liberated from sins. The heart is awakened by the Guru's light, dispelling darkness forever. "Meditation's root is the Guru's form, worship's root is the Guru's feet, mantra's root is the Guru's word, attainment's root is the Guru's grace." "The one who has His darshan, his sins are washed away. The one who longs for Him, his sins are washed away." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Children's program on Gurupurnima
8:45 - 9:14 (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.'"

Develop the quality
9:20 - 10:01 (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
What have you done for others?
10:05 - 10:50 (45 min)

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.
Yoga for a Healthier and Happier Life
10:55 - 11:42 (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
Removing pollution from the body and mind
11:50 - 12:31 (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
Suffering makes us strong
12:35 - 13:07 (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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Do not kill animals
13:15 - 13:52 (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
The Space of Practice
14:00 - 15:01 (61 min)
Recorded on
Find your two square meters for life and death. Relax completely, aware of your body and breath. Practice āsanas to release tension and correct posture. Understand that yoga adapts to time and space, requiring guidance. Correct kyphosis to free shoulder movement. Maintain head alignment to avoid muscle strain. Practice rotation in āsanas with stretching, not force. Stimulate organs through lateral stretches and breath control. Use breath retention to influence circulation and prāṇa. Conclude by observing the effects on body, breath, and mind. "Be aware of the hole in which you are now, and be aware of the position of your body in this hole." "If you have a big kidney stone, do not practice this āsana, because it makes activation of the kidneys, and in that case, the kidney stone starts to move." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
We are in a blessed place
15:05 - 16:19 (74 min)
Recorded on
A great tree stands, seemingly unassailable. A sādhu claims it will die, but the tree boasts of its might. The sādhu possesses only a small piece of iron, insufficient alone. With a friend's help, applying that small iron, the tree is felled. The cause is a subtle, persistent force, not a grand assault. In an ashram, a tree fell because people cut a little and sat upon it. We must not break things but give goodness. Our actions, even small ones, have consequences within. "The trees are very big, and it will not happen easily. But I will cut this and that, and the third will fall." "It is only the little ones." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
How to educate the children?
16:25 - 17:28 (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

How came Vishwaguruji to Hungary first
18:15 - 18:37 (22 min)
Recorded on
The first meeting with a master is a pivotal moment of grace. A suggestion came to invite a true yogi. Contact was made through an intermediary who relayed the master's location. Persistent requests finally led to an invitation. The arrival was simple, met at a train station. Hospitality was offered in a modest home, though understanding of the master's nature was limited. A neighbor's small flat, filled with mattresses, was also shown. The master stayed for a month, leading programs and creating a foundation for the disciples' growth. "Svāmījī came from the last wagon of the train, walking forward, and then Kṛṣṇānanda looked at him and said, 'Yes, this is that.'" "And then Svāmījī said, 'Now I live here to see, let’s see how they grow.'" Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Eternal Resonance of Sacred Sound
21:00 - 21:59 (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
