The path requires spiritual discipline through specific principles. Enter the divine kingdom through sacrifice and renunciation. The first principle is austerity, the strength to endure situations without being offended. The second is work; without puruṣārtha, one attains nothing. Dharma, prosperity, duty, and liberation are realized only through disciplined action. Dependence—financial, physical, or emotional—is a source of suffering. Cultivate multi-talented readiness for any work to eliminate fear and attachment. Practice discipline and regularity in all things, including diet and conduct. Study sacred texts and introspect to know thyself. Renounce attachment to remain free while fulfilling your duties. Success is self-knowledge and becoming a guiding force, achieved through austerity, renunciation, study, and constant practice.

Anahat chakra and spirituality
1:55 - 3:03 (68 min)
The human journey is from mental turbulence to the heart's peace. The world is turbulent because people's minds and hearts are turbulent. Money is not a true loss; character lost is everything lost. Human life is the most precious diamond, given not for begging but for protection and Self-knowledge. People suffer because they are extroverted, chasing impermanent things. Remember you are human; this awareness protects from mistakes. The mission is to serve, help, protect, and attain liberation from rebirth. The soul is individual, but the Ātmā is universal; all creatures are one's own Self. Follow the four pillars: Dharma, your duty; Artha, sustenance; Kāma, righteous action; and Mokṣa, liberation. Education is missing, leading to distraction. Practice yoga always to regain direction. The problem is within; be the change you wish to see. The Anāhata Chakra is the heart center. The Ātmā, the Self, is felt there. When awakened, it bestows qualities like peace, love, and forgiveness. Its shadow brings the opposite. Seek the Self within.
"Money is lost, nothing is lost. Health is lost, something is lost. But if the character is lost, everything is lost."
"Be the change that you want to see in others."

The way how yoga is helping us
3:10 - 4:13 (63 min)
The human body is a vehicle for attaining liberation, requiring purification of three primary obstacles: impurities, disturbances, and ignorance. The soul descends through cycles of birth among 8.4 million life forms, with human birth being a rare opportunity. The intellect is a powerful tool to discover hidden powers within the 72,000 nerves, particularly the four principal ones governing health, emotion, activity, and consciousness. Two fundamental forces, divine and negative, constantly interact within, influenced by time and place. The chakras represent rotating energies, with the foundational Mūlādhāra Chakra housing unconscious consciousness and past, present, and future potentials. Impurities—physical, mental, and emotional—must be cleansed through Haṭha Yoga techniques, which balance emotion and intellect. Disturbances are restless thoughts and waves that prevent clear perception and meditation. Ignorance is a curtain over consciousness, removed through attentive listening in silent spiritual gatherings. The inner instrument consists of mind, intellect, memory, and ego, influenced by the three qualities of harmony, activity, and inertia. These qualities stem from diet, society, and habits. True progress requires mastering speech and action, understanding that the world is transient, and seeking the ultimate truth beyond it.
"Brahma-satya jagat-mithyā. The Brahman, the supreme God, which has no form, no name, but still He is there. He is omniscient and omnipresent. That is the final truth."
"Before you speak, think it over. Don't say always that I am right and I am right."

The Guru can change our destiny
5:30 - 5:52 (22 min)
The guru's grace can alter destiny.
Everything depends on our karmas. What is written in your destiny will happen. A story illustrates the guru's power to change this. A king's guru met the Vedāntā, the destiny writer, going to inscribe the fate of the king's newborn twins. She declared one son would live in poverty selling wood from a horse, and the other would hunt, barely catching one animal daily. The guru warned her she would regret this. The guru then left. The king was later killed in an attack, and the twins were raised in poverty by a potter, fulfilling the destined misery. Years later, the guru returned. He instructed the wood-selling brother to sell his horse each day, forcing the Vedāntā to provide a new one each time to fulfill the destiny. He told the hunter to only hunt a golden deer, ignoring all other animals. The Vedāntā was thus forced to provide a golden deer daily to meet the decree of one kill. The brothers grew wealthy. The Vedāntā, overwhelmed, begged the guru for forgiveness and agreed to rewrite their destiny to become kings again, which then occurred.
"Just be careful that you do not regret your decision later."
"Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam."

Meditation with Swamiji
6:00 - 6:42 (42 min)
Morning program with Vishwaguruji from Atlanta, Georgia, Guided meditation.
We need Gurudev
6:50 - 7:44 (54 min)
The disciple must never abandon the need for the guru or the teachings, for that is the gravest error. The guru is the principle that leads from ignorance to knowledge. This Guru Tattva is the essential diamond, not the physical form, yet it is embodied to provide tangible guidance. God aids the seeker by sending the guru, who is thus revered as indispensable. The aim is to merge the individual self with the cosmic Self, like a river entering the ocean. This is the Advaita understanding, where the one supreme reality is reflected in all individuals. This merging is the true purpose of yoga, achieved through the guru's grace and teachings. The embodied form concentrates this divine energy, making darśana transformative. The state beyond the three guṇas is inexpressible; it can only be pointed to as 'not this, not that.'
"The moment you think you know everything, very soon you will find yourself asking, 'Where are the bricks? Where is the parachute?'"
"God will send your friend with the boat. And the Guru is here."

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from weekend Yoga seminar in Salzburg, Austria. Traditions are important and more or less similar in the whole world. The Austrian culture is very rich and beautiful. Many books of ancient Indian culture was destroyed by Moguls. We can digest everything except the truth. Tell honestly yourself your negative qualities. Remain natural as it is. Culture and education we should get from our parents. Short meditation how to turn negative to positive.
Time according to Vedas and Puranas I part
9:45 - 10:40 (55 min)
Time is a cyclical concept without beginning or end, where everything repeats across countless independent universes. Each universe operates under its own laws and has its own trinity of creator, preserver, and destroyer. The structure of time is mathematically precise, defined by repeating ages called yugas. Four yugas—Satya, Tretā, Dvāpara, and Kali—form a Mahāyuga of 4,320,000 years. One thousand Mahāyugas constitute a single day of Brahmā, known as a Kalpa. This cycle of creation and dissolution repeats across vast scales, from the lifespan of a Brahmā to the final Mahā Pralaya where all existence withdraws into unity. Realizing this immense scale puts personal concerns into perspective.
"The concept of time in the Vedas and ancient scriptures is cyclical. Everything moves in a circle, a cycle that neither begins nor ends."
"Four Yugas make one Mahāyuga. One thousand Mahāyugas form one Kalpa. A Kalpa is one day of Brahmā."

Beauty is in our heart
10:45 - 11:33 (48 min)
True yoga requires right conduct, not just physical exercise. Without abstaining from meat and alcohol, it is merely exercise, not the yogic path. The world often misunderstands this. The purpose is to return to God, a knowledge preserved in India. Foreign influences promoting contrary habits have caused problems. A return to peace and understanding is coming. Many worldwide now question harming animals. This is yoga in daily life. Many teachers work globally, but practice is undermined if students return home to eat meat. All beings are connected. The practice must be consistent, regardless of one's background.
"If someone consumes meat and alcohol, they are not a yogī, and it is not yoga. It becomes merely an exercise."
"We should not kill animals. This is yoga in daily life."

Mantra and Mala
11:40 - 12:18 (38 min)
Life is the Ātmā within all beings, seen through the Self. Humans consume life, yet must understand this act distances them from the supreme. Feeling pain teaches non-violence. To approach God requires immense time and grace; unintentional harm may be forgiven, but intentional killing bars the path. Saints do not boast; true greatness lies in selfless service.
The mala is a constant step toward God, paired with a mantra given by the guru or family. Regular prayer, like the Muslim practice, instills discipline. The greeting of praṇām is a mutual prayer for goodness. There are two mala practices: one uses a 108-bead mala with a Guru Mukhī bead, turned with the thumb and middle finger without crossing that bead. The other is Sumaran, a constant walking remembrance like the breath, without a guru point. The story of Hanuman illustrates that one's chosen divine name, like Rām, becomes an inseparable companion through constant repetition, leading ultimately to merging with divine light.
"One mala means for us one step toward God."
"Your Rām is your mother, your father, your brother, your good friend."

The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
13:05 - 13:26 (21 min)
Life's deepest treasure is complete and everlasting bliss, the crown of self-realization rooted in God-realization. Rare beings attain this pearl of Paramānanda. A seeker's deep prayer brought him face-to-face with his divine master, seeing the form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He became a true disciple, devoting body, mind, and soul. He received the highest spiritual initiation, instantly attaining samādhi. His life was a permanent establishment in the highest spiritual experience under his master's guidance. As a spiritual successor, he built and established āśrams, tirelessly spreading the light. He preached non-dualism, non-violence as the highest religion, and the unity of all humanity through song and service. His devotion was Parabhakti, love without reservation, repeating the divine name for over eighteen hours daily. Such love overcomes all obstacles between us and God. He became a living testament that this realization is possible.
"My eyes filled with tears, and I fell to my knees. I knew I had found the everlasting light of my life."
"All humans belong to one religion, and that is humanity."

How to use the mantra
13:30 - 14:08 (38 min)
Chanting mantras brings peace and purifies the environment through resonance. Life's disturbances agitate the mind, but mantra restores concentration and releases stress. The Guru Mantra profoundly affects body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. Five techniques exist for its practice.
First is writing the mantra daily; positive mantras are not secret and help others. Second is chanting aloud, which influences the three primary energy channels and awakens resonance within the chakras. Each alphabet in the chakras represents a protective power. Third is whispering with slight lip movement, a stage of turning inward while remaining aware. Fourth is mental repetition, which awakens the inner light of knowledge. Fifth is automatic repetition, where the mantra continues effortlessly like breath, requiring no physical or mental effort. This highest level operates constantly. Mantra chanting creates a powerful energy that awakens inner knowledge.
"The Mother Earth has enough for our need, but not for our greed."
"Ajāpa means you need not repeat. Neither your lips nor your tongue moves."

The Essence of Īśāvāsya: From Ethics to Unity
14:30 - 14:48 (18 min)
The Īśāvāsya Upaniṣad provides moral principles and the principle of unity. The first instruction is to not be greedy, for God is everywhere and you have what you need. The second states you must work and fulfill your duty throughout life. The third warns that giving up life leads to a dark place; this includes not fulfilling duties. After these ethics, the Upaniṣad presents the Advaita principle of unity. That one moves and does not move, is far and near, inside and outside everything. It is all-pervasive, faster than the mind, yet stationary. Realizing all beings are connected ends hatred. Seeing oneself in all beings ends sorrow. The divine is described as pure, bodiless, and untouched. One must realize this unity through practice, not merely hearing or reading. All spiritual practices help, but practice is essential. Intellectual understanding alone is insufficient; the heart must connect. The world's apparent divisions are like air confined in a room; the underlying reality is one. Realization comes by turning inward, beyond the senses. Accepting "I am that" brings freedom.
"Tadejati tannaijati taddūre tadvantike | Tadantarasya sarvasya tadu sarvasya bāhyataḥ ||"

The form of God is the vibration
15:10 - 16:10 (60 min)
Oṃ is the divine sound, the origin and essence of all creation.
Oṃ is the primordial vibration, the sound-form of the absolute. Its written symbol contains a Bindu, representing both the point from which the universe emerged and the drop of immortal nectar. Yogis meditate upon it eternally. It grants desires and liberation. This is not a sound we create but an existing reality we resonate with through chanting. The practice of Nāda Yoga uses outer sound to journey toward the inner experience of Oṃ. At the highest stage, this sound is perceived directly, transforming into light and expanding consciousness. All true mantras contain Oṃ. It is described as the Word present at creation, the formless source that manifests as the three qualities composing the world. Spiritual practice without connection to Oṃ is considered fruitless. Chanting purifies, illuminates, and awakens divine bliss.
"Oṃ is the divine name. Oṃ is God."
"Oṃkār bina, sādhanā sapahote bikārī re."

Mantras and Bhajans
16:15 - 16:55 (40 min)
Satsaṅg is the gathering where truth resides and God is the center. Life transforms in its light, allowing action with detachment. The broader meaning is a gathering of like-minded individuals focusing on God beyond any single religion. The closer meaning is the place where truth itself resides. Bhajans are the songs born from the realization of saints, expressing divine glory through poetry and melody. Diving into bhajans reveals endless layers of truth, which deepens with devoted repetition. This practice is a gentle medium for revelation, a base teaching requiring only voice or mind. To sing bhajans is to communicate with God and the masters, understanding their teachings.
"The center of every satsaṅg is God. It doesn’t matter which name."
"Bhajans highlight the glory of God in whatever form... The more often you repeat, the more you sing with devotion, with bhakti, the more the truth will reveal itself to you."

The Practice of Śalabhāsana and Complementary Āsanas
17:00 - 17:59 (59 min)
The practice of śalabhāsana and complementary āsanas builds strength and influences consciousness. Śalabhāsana strengthens the posterior muscles and works on self-confidence. Hold the posture with full lungs and descend on the exhalation, though breathe naturally if there is high blood pressure. Remain soft while using strength. It corrects the pelvis and benefits the prostate and menstruation. A variation with hands under the body stretches the digestive tract and is ideal before meditation. Avoid excessive bending in the lumbar area; focus the bend in the thoracic part. Follow with relaxation and pavanamuktāsana to release lower back tension. Sarvāṅgāsana benefits peripheral circulation and balances thyroid function, but avoid it with hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, or during menstruation. It improves circulation to the head and allows a subtle exhalation. Its counterpose is bhuḍaṅgāsana, which stretches the front and strengthens the arms; bend in the chest area, not the most flexible part. Halāsana stretches the back and affects the neck, emphasizing exhalation. Matsyāsana opens the chest, works on the thyroid and breathing, and is performed with inhalation through the nose and exhalation through the mouth. A one-legged balance pose aids concentration and nervous stability. Ardha Matsyendrāsana regenerates the spine and has anti-inflammatory properties. An inverted posture improves circulation to the head and spiritual development. Conclude with Tāḍāsana and Prāṇāyāma. Bhastrikā Prāṇāyāma intensifies the digestive fire and burns waste; relax the abdomen and let breath flow spontaneously without forcing inhalation. Avoid it with a brain tumor or elevated body temperature. Chant Oṁ to withdraw inward.
"Remain soft in the posture, even while using strength."
"In this posture, simply allow one subtle, extended exhalation."

Do everything with bhava
18:05 - 18:21 (16 min)
The Śrāvaṇa month is dedicated to Lord Śiva, who drank the ocean's poison to protect all beings, earning the name Nīlakaṇṭha. Offerings like water, milk, and honey during this time are for inner purification, with effects multiplied. Śiva is pleased by pure intention, not elaborate ritual. A devoted boy once performed an abhiṣeka with spoiled milk, pickle brine, and maple syrup, creating chaos. Yet, his pure bhāva, his heartfelt feeling, transformed the village, bringing rain and harmony. The essence of any action—worship, service, or daily work—is the love and sincerity with which it is performed. That feeling is everything.
"He took that poison and drank it, which is why his throat is blue."
"It does not matter how we do it, but with which bhāva, with which feelings, we are doing it."

Be joyful
18:25 - 18:52 (27 min)
The Guru's light manifests on earth as pure knowledge, requiring a living guide for correct spiritual practice. This divine principle, the Guru Tattva, is the same in all true teachers, yet disciples share an intimate, familial connection with their own. The guru's physical form is a vessel for this light; entering its radiant aura transforms one's energy. Even in the guru's physical absence, gathering with devotion in satsaṅg magnetically draws that divine presence. The quality of satsaṅg depends on the participants' internal energy. Approach it not as obligation but with joy, for your own energy determines the atmosphere. To elevate personal energy, engage in singing bhajans. Consciously replace negative thoughts with positive ones to rewire the mind toward happiness. A spiritual life must be a life of joy and inspiration, rooted in the constant feeling of connection to the divine.
"When bhaktas are together and singing my name, thinking on me, the Hari, the God, that divine energy comes to that place."
"Satsaṅg is not an obligation, but satsaṅg is a joy."

Do we reach?
18:55 - 19:13 (18 min)
Our days pass, yet we seldom consider who grants true achievement. Humanity began in simplicity, living well with shared resources and finding happiness. Now, we possess abundant technology, but remain incomplete, never satisfied. Our progress soars, yet we fight through machines, not as humans present. We practice much, but our complexities create difficulty and confusion. These material pursuits are a game that will not hold; they will fade. We must look within and return to our true nature, for external things are transient.

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.
