There is no end of learning
0:20 - 1:01 (41 min)
The ashram is heaven on earth, a place of immense energy where the Guru is always present in essence. A journey unfolds through divine guidance, not personal will. A trip to India for Guru Pūrṇimā was redirected by unseen forces, leading one back to the ashram family. Later, guidance came through a spoken sentence about Romania, which led to the establishment of an ashram there through inner instruction, not conversation. A pilgrimage to holy sites in the Himalayas was similarly guided, with paths clearing miraculously to allow darśan. In all endeavors, the Guru's direction is for self-learning. Yoga is a path to discover who one is. Scientific research into modified prāṇāyāma, inspired by the Guru's words, later fostered a university collaboration and a successful public yoga event, where a protective cloud appeared as a sign.
"With our yoga in daily life, it is not just āsana. It is a way to learn about ourselves and to look at ourselves."
"One sentence from Gurudev can change and influence so many things."

The Destiny
1:05 - 2:26 (81 min)
Our body is a divine energy system of chakras, and destiny is recorded within it. Chakras are energy centers connecting consciousness, space, and energy. The body is an indescribable creation; it transforms food into life in a way no machine can. Our destiny is the fruit of past actions, recorded in our energy field like an unerasable line on stone. We cannot delete it, but through spiritual practice, we can rise above it. The Ājñā Chakra, or third eye, when opened, grants vision of past, present, and future. Negative energies—Kāma, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Ahaṅkāra—arise from the lower chakras and bind us. These must be replaced with positive qualities: Tyāga, Vairāgya, Bhakti, Jñāna, and Viveka. A practice like Pañcāmṛta—a mixture of milk, yogurt, butter, honey, and pure water—used in worship, can help purify energy and balance the chakras. Following a master's guidance can help monitor and navigate destiny, though not erase it. The aim is to realize the oneness of all consciousness.
"Destiny is a line on the stone. We can't delete it."
"When we realize the oneness, then there is no difference between God and us, because it's the same energy, the same space."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Alexandria, Virgina, USA. Yoga is the science of body, mind and soul, blesses us with physical, mental, social health. Religion and yoga should not divide us, but should join us. There are spiritual miracles, but a yogi shouldn’t use them. Vishwaguruji reveals and explains in this lecture some secrets of Yoga. When we turn the light of knowledge (gyana) on, darkness will disappear.
Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 2 - Part 1
6:00 - 7:03 (63 min)
The practice advances to the second level of āsanas and prāṇāyāma. Level two introduces seventeen postures, beginning and ending on the floor with standing poses in between. This level engages the real practice of āsana. Each posture follows a sequence: start from a position of concentration, move into the form, then either hold with normal breath or return. The effect is felt upon returning. Practice begins with OṂ, breathing, and relaxation. Full yoga breath combines abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular parts into a wave. Movement is then added to this breath. Āsanas include Śaśāṅkāsana, Meru Ākaraṇa Āsana, Bhūnamanā Āsana, Aśva Sanchalāsana, Utthāna Prastha Āsana, and standing poses like Hasta Uttānāsana and Akaraṇa Dhanur Āsana. Each has specific benefits and some contraindications. Practice concludes with systematic relaxation, alternate-nostril prāṇāyāma to balance energy and brain hemispheres, and OṂ chanting.
"Every āsana has its starting position, in which you concentrate on the movement and the āsana you will perform."
"The breathing can guide you very deep inside towards your inner self."

We should try to develop good quality and maintain it
7:10 - 7:59 (49 min)
Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, and soul, given for human well-being. Its authentic postures and philosophy are detailed in ancient texts like the Śiva Saṁhitā. Modern, commercialized yoga often ignores this depth, leading to potential harm from incorrect practice. True health requires quality nourishment—organic, sattvic food—and mindful consumption, not just following tastes. Our mental health is influenced by social company and trends, which can manipulate us. Spiritual health requires rising above ambition and practicing tolerance. Key principles for life are dharma (righteousness), dhīraja (fortitude), mitra (true friendship), and commitment to one's life partner. Without mastering physical, mental, and social health, spiritual progress and real meditation are impossible. Meditation is not making selfish requests but achieving a motionless state leading to self-realization. The path involves the eight limbs: yama, niyama, āsana, prāṇāyāma, pratyāhāra, dhāraṇā, dhyāna, and samādhi. Practice is essential; theory alone is worthless. The goal is to realize the oneness of knowledge, knower, and object, which is God-realization.

Share the bread with everyone
8:05 - 8:52 (47 min)
Christmas conveys a dual message of joy and sorrow to awaken compassion. Holy incarnations appear for a purpose or remain as constant saints. God sustains all life, yet human greed corrupts this natural provision. The season reminds us of divine births, like Jesus, born into hardship to exemplify love and perseverance. Living in this complex world requires balance, like a tongue amidst teeth. True saintliness is an inner quality, not an external uniform. The path demands positive thinking toward all, without judgment, as divine figures work to show the way.

Spiritual Sadhana
9:00 - 9:53 (53 min)
The practice of yoga and discipline aligns the practitioner with the divine. All spiritual beings become the God they worship, regardless of religion. Creatures of the dawn awaken for a higher purpose, while those active only in darkness engage in negative actions. Humans should emulate the discipline of the dawn, rising early for practice like the military, to restore balance. True yogic practice extends beyond physical postures to deeper spiritual levels. Great masters from India's lineage demonstrate profound spiritual power, performing miracles like restoring life. This land is considered divine. The current time is an opportunity to stay home with family and cultivate compassion, which is the root of all religion.
"All those who are spiritual, those who are ceremonious, they are that God which they worship."

What is God?
10:00 - 10:58 (58 min)
The divine is perceived as both formless and with form. The formless God, Nirākāra, is like the horizon or sky—everywhere yet unreachable. The personal God, Sākāra, has a form we can relate to, speak with, and worship. Scripture states both are valid, but for humanity, worship with form is easier as it allows for relationship and dialogue. Our human nature encompasses both aspects. We are advised to use our divine potential through proper practice, as our latent powers can lead us toward divinity or negativity. How we speak and act directly impacts our spiritual and physical well-being, as our energy flows through subtle centers. We must choose a path that awakens our higher consciousness.
"both are good, Nirākāra and Sākāra, the formless and with form. But he said, for you... it is easier to worship in form."

Be within thyself
11:05 - 11:50 (45 min)
True meditation is found within, not in external pursuits.
External experiences are temporary, like falling leaves or pictures of food that cannot satisfy hunger. The source of lasting peace and power resides inside every person. Looking outward in meditation is like a father distracting a child with promises; the comfort is fleeting. A seeker performing many rituals found no peace until instructed to simply rest inwardly and surrender all effort. Another devotee could not see Kṛṣṇa in meditation until taught to calm the inner vision. All that is sought—God, the guru, harmony—is already present within the self. The journey requires turning the senses inward to discover the permanent source behind the temporary world.
"Go within thyself. Whatever is given from outside is given... But what is given from outside is temporary."
"Close your eyes and rest. Give it to me... Don’t think anything. Now you should know that I am in my body."

We are full of resonance
11:55 - 12:49 (54 min)
All paths converge to a single essence. Different masters and gods are like separate drops that ultimately enter the ocean. From that ocean, differentiation arises again, just as water evaporates to form clouds. The purpose is to understand why some return quickly while others fall far away. A story illustrates this: seeds ground between two stones become flour, but a handful near the central hook remain complete. Those who surrender at the holy feet are like those seeds; they are not ground but come to the highest. Another story tells of a yogi saddened by slaughter; in meditation, it was revealed the karma belongs to the actors, not the witness. Satsang attendees are already there and will reach the supreme. The sound within, like the ocean's resonance, is Nādarūpa Parabrahma. This vibration is in the whole universe and within all. Do not sit passively like a dead body; respond and awaken to this sound.
"Those who come to the Gurudevs, or your God, or your temples, or your church—where we are at the holy feet of the gods—they will not be ground."
"It is their karma, and they will get it back again. But you have done nothing. You see, it is painful, but you have not done."

The evolution of the Universe
12:55 - 13:46 (51 min)
Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, and soul, originating from the very beginning of endless cosmic cycles. It stems from the interplay between universal consciousness and space. The creator, Śiva, manifested from the primordial sound, or resonance, which holds the universe together. This resonance is in every cell, creating harmony. Yoga is not merely physical exercise but the pursuit of health, balance, and oneness. The human body is a microcosm of five elements and contains energy centers, or chakras, along subtle nerves. Our awareness and practices like prāṇāyāma, postures, and chanting purify these energies, address ailments from stored emotions, and align us with the cosmic dance of creation and dissolution, leading toward liberation.
"Yoga is not just that physical exercise. We call it yoga because it must bring good health, balance, harmony, and oneness of body, mind, and soul."
"From the end of the spinal column is the seat of Śiva and Gaṇeśa. Gaṇeśa is in the Mūlādhāra Cakra. Mūla means roots."

Renounce
14:40 - 15:46 (66 min)
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.

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.

The Foundations of Consciousness: Understanding the Chakras
18:35 - 19:07 (32 min)
The chakras are borders of consciousness. Energy centers are located at the body's major joints, marking transitions between kingdoms of nature. Concentrating on the earth chakra at the feet can lead to depression and accelerated aging. The area from ankles to knees governs animal consciousness and behavior. The five human chakras remain mixed with these lower qualities. The Ājñā Chakra is the border between human and divine consciousness. Awakening it reveals the inner master, though the outer master remains essential. Confusion arises when this center is clouded by intellect and ego. Ājñā means command, granting authority over the senses and freedom from karma. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the root foundation of physical and psychic stability. Its red color symbolizes the energy of Mother Earth, blood, and Śakti. This energy is worshipped as the divine feminine. The lotus flower symbolizes pure devotion and love, remaining unstained by the world.
"Gu means darkness, and Ru means light. You enter into the light of wisdom, and you cross the border of this darkness."

Worldly joy is fleeting and contains hidden sorrow, but divine joy is endless. Human happiness is brief and intertwined with suffering, for every gain conceals equal or greater pain. Only the Supreme One's joy is boundless. An incarnate liberator provides a living refuge beyond scriptures. Merely reading teachings without following them brings no solution. True peace is found not in escape but in unwavering devotion to that divine source.

Science of chakras
19:40 - 20:56 (76 min)
Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through harmony and balance. The cosmic energy governs the universe, and this principle of union was discovered by ancient yogis. The individual soul is a spark of the divine light, present in all life. We originate from the cosmic sound and are composed of the five elements. Our journey involves many births, guided by karma, as the soul moves through forms and relations. The human body contains dormant energy centers called chakras, connected by 72,000 channels. Three primary channels—Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna—regulate energy, mind, and activity, converging at key points to form the chakras. These centers correspond to the elements and levels of consciousness, from the earthly Muladhara to the divine Sahasrara. Activating these centers through practice leads toward liberation.

The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
21:00 - 21:21 (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."
