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."

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." Filming location: Bola Guda, India

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 1 - Part 6, in Om Vishwa Deep Gurukul Swami Maheshwaranand Ashram, Jadan, Rajasthan, India on 24th of October 2009.

Human life is valuable, yet filled with fear that drives all religious seeking. All creatures live in fear, and humans are no different. This fear leads people to temples, mosques, and churches. The physical Guru is a conduit to the divine, not claiming divinity themselves. Spiritual traditions exist worldwide, each with unique customs for honoring God and ancestors. All genuine paths ultimately lead to the same divine source. A true Guru's promise to a disciple is eternal, working across lifetimes for liberation. "Life is not easy. They know, they don’t know. But they have one thing, and that is a fear, a very great fear." "So it means that, don’t think that the guru is nothing. When you have it, then it will be, not in this life, but in the next life."

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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." Filming location: New York, USA

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. "Half-knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge." "Yoga means, yogī means, practice."

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. "God is feeding everyone. And what they call the food companies are now controlling, and they produce the food as they like." "Those who love their friends and enemies equally, they are dear to me."

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." "you have a chance of being a human... you are divine, you are godly, but all is dormant." Filming location: USA

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." "Dayā, dharma kā mūla hai. Pāpa mūla abhimāna." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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." Filming location: USA

Swamiji in Sliac, 9th April 2007

The Guru's sandals are the vessel for crossing the ocean of worldly existence. The holy lineage flows from the source through all masters to the present. Sanskrit is a sacred language; its fifty letters reside within the human body's energy centers, making its recitation purifying. When asked for a guide after his departure, the master composed the Guru Pādukā Stotram. These sandals bestow the empire of dispassion and devotion. They are the sun that dispels the darkness of the threefold afflictions originating from celestial, material, and elemental forces. They dry up the ocean of delusion caused by impurity, distraction, and the veiling ego. The sandals subdue inner enemies like desire and anger, while granting discriminative intellect and dispassion. They illuminate the supreme knowledge and swiftly bestow liberation. "Salutations to the great, holy sandals of the Guru. These sandals are like a boat that helps us cross this endless ocean of transmigration." "Praying to the holy sandals of the Guru can dry up this entire ocean of delusion."

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." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The science of yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness. Yoga is the eternal balancing principle in the universe, not a religion or dogma. The cosmic vibration, declared as OM, exists within and outside us. Human life is a precious chance within the cycle of rebirth. The human intellect can be trained endlessly, and dormant abilities within are connected to the cakras, or energy centers. The subtle body has 72,000 nāḍīs, or channels, for transmitting consciousness and energy. The mind functions between the subconscious and conscious, taking in impressions that become desires. The intellect's duty is to give judgment. We normally experience three levels of consciousness: waking, dream, and deep sleep. Past deeds create our destiny, or prārabdha karma. The Kuṇḍalinī energy and the cakra system are responsible for developing consciousness and freeing it from subconscious fears. The major nāḍīs are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā, balancing emotion and intellect. Haṭha Yoga unites these sympathetic and parasympathetic principles. The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process of becoming wise and calm, not a physical sensation. The cakras are located along the spinal column and are psychic energy centers. They are connected to the five elements and influence the body. Mastery leads towards liberation, the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. This requires lifelong practice and guidance. "Yoga is not a religion, it is not a philosophy, it is not a dogma, but it is the eternal principle in this universe." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process; you don't feel it as a physical sensation. You feel happy, as if in the lap of the mother." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia DVD 188

The essence of spiritual teaching is found in direct experience and presence, not in elaborate speech or rigid protocol. A revered teacher once communicated the entirety of wisdom by simply chanting the mantra of completeness. Initial encounters with a guru are often marked by personal anxiety and a fear of transgressing unknown rules. True connection begins with simple service and sitting in silent presence, which reveals a profound inner light. A teacher's challenging words are not a threat but an invitation to internal fortitude and self-clarification. The disciple's task is to hold onto genuine inner happiness amidst external doubt. Spiritual understanding is ultimately confirmed within one's own heart. "This is the essence. What more do you want?" "You are so happy now, but you don't even know if you will remain a sannyāsī."

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

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

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
