Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul, requiring spirituality. Our subject is Kuṇḍalinī and the chakras, the hidden powers in human consciousness. Chakras are rotating wheels that receive and circulate cosmic energy through the body. We possess five bodies or layers: the physical, energy, mental, intellectual, and causal bodies. The causal body holds both fleeting joy and divine, everlasting bliss. The soul is a collection of karma and qualities; it dissolves upon self-realization, merging with the cosmic One. Chakras must be purified through mantra, prayer, and yogic practices for the Kuṇḍalinī to awaken safely; without guidance, imbalance and unpleasantness can occur. Life is love, and God is love. Our happiness and world peace depend on individual friendship and forgiveness. We must act according to place and time. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the root foundation, associated with the earth element and the color red. The lotus symbolizes growing in the world while remaining untouched by its temptations and dualities. The four petals represent the four aims of human life: dharma (duty/righteousness), artha (wealth), kāma (righteous desire and procreation), and mokṣa (liberation). "Yoga without spirituality is like a body without a soul; no achievement can take place without spirituality." "If you protect your dharma, dharma will protect you." Filming location: Australia

Satsang from Linz, Austria. Translation of the bhajan Sri Madhavanandaji Prabhu Ananda Dijo. This bhajan was written by our Gurudeva many many years ago. He requests Holy Guruji to grant us happiness and accept our service. Explanation and practice of Ashwini mudra, AUM chanting and Bhramari pranayama.

Our food choices, from potatoes to meat, are entangled with health, karma, and the difficulty of living purely in this age. Potatoes are often unhealthy due to pesticides and chemicals absorbed into the earth, which can take over a decade to purify. Many oils, like refined or cottonseed oil, are harmful and contribute to disease. Modern wheat has excessive gluten. The widespread consumption of meat creates collective sin and karma, stemming from the breeding, selling, and torturing of animals. In this Kali Yuga, we are often forced or tricked into consuming animal products unknowingly, through items like bread or oil. Our weakness and greed, along with market forces making meat cheap, drive this. The solution is to seek organic, local produce like good olive oil, and to diversify our diet with grains, beans, and preserved vegetables instead of relying on potatoes and junk food. We must relearn ancestral preservation methods. Ultimately, some advanced beings show it is possible to live beyond physical food, drawing energy directly from the sun or divine sources. "Sin is that which creatures, beautiful creatures, are there... torturing them, what they call halal, is a pain; the pain is the sin." "When we innocently eat something, and then God will say, 'You also ate,' and I will say, 'No.'" Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Welcome to a yoga practice based on the "Yoga in Daily Life" system. This session is conducted from a desert retreat in Rajasthan, a spiritual center founded to serve humanity and offer a path through yoga. The practice follows an eight-level system of physical, breath, and mental exercises, including Karma Yoga and a vegetarian lifestyle. We begin with Oṁ chanting and relaxation in Ānanda Āsana, mentally relaxing each body part with the exhalation. The practice includes learning the full yoga breath, combining abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular breathing into a single wave, coordinated with arm movements. We perform side and diagonal stretches while lying down, followed by rolling. Seated in Vajrāsana, we practice Mājārī (cat stretch) for spinal flexibility. Standing exercises target the shoulders and chest, followed by forward bending. Seated poses include the half butterfly, full butterfly, and Pavanamuktāsana. Prone exercises involve stretching and strengthening the back. We relax in a side-lying tiger pose. The session concludes with Prāṇāyāma, specifically Nāḍī Śodhana to balance the brain hemispheres, and ends with Oṁ chanting. "The light and teaching of this yoga science... was systematised as 'Yoga in Daily Life'." "Prāṇāyāma... influences not only the physical body but also the brain centres... we balance the function of both brain hemispheres." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Dharma is our essential duty, and we must follow it without diversion. We each have personal duties, but jealousy or ego can pull us away. Dharma protects those who protect it. In the Mahābhārata, Arjuna was confused about fighting his family, but Kṛṣṇa instructed him to uphold dharma by removing adharma. We are in Kali Yuga, a time still favorable for spiritual practice before a future age of extreme decline. Human birth is a rare blessing after passing through 8.4 million life forms. We must use it wisely, avoiding actions that lead to rebirth in lower species. Four blessings are essential: Deva Kṛpā (divine grace for human birth), Śāstra Kṛpā (grace of scriptures), Guru Kṛpā (the Guru's grace to guide us), and Kuṭṭī Kṛpā (our own initiative to follow the path). The Guru shows the way, but we must act. We must calm our thoughts, letting them pass like clouds, and not dwell on past regrets or future anxieties. Follow the five disciplines for a student: the crow's determination, the crane's concentration, the dog's alert sleep, eating little, and living away from spoiling comforts. Do your duty without attachment to results. True seva is selfless, done without desire for recognition. Complete surrender to the Guru brings protection and guidance, but personal effort is required. Inner peace comes through spiritual practices he provides. "Dharma rakṣati rakṣitaḥ. He who protects dharma, dharma protects him." "If we fully surrender... he will protect us, he will guide us... But we need to do the effort." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Rijeka Ashram, Croatia. Nowadays, people lose their teeth quickly.We should get back to nature again. There are many things in nature that can improve the health of teeth as well. Violin music and singing for the soul. We must find God within ourselves. The story of an American practitioner and the very beginning of the OM Ashram.

We live in two ways: our worldly life and our spiritual life. The spiritual seed within grows continuously. We are all searching for God, who is in everyone and every creature, even a mosquito. All life is God, including the elements like water. A single drop of water becomes the ocean. Similarly, in meditation, our individual self merges into the cosmic whole, like a drop returning to the ocean. Science and spirituality are both great, but they differ. Scientists die and do not return, while great yogis can exist beyond the body. Our goal is purification through daily practice. When life leaves the body, there is only one path for all, regardless of religion. Honor your mother and father as God. Everyone who teaches you is a guru. You must walk the path yourself. "Not only humans—each and every creature is God. A living little mosquito, yes, a mosquito also has life inside, and that is God." "A single drop of water becomes the whole ocean. This drop immerses in the whole ocean." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

Our heart is a well of giving that must flow to remain pure. We are born from and abide within a vast spiritual ocean. Knowing "I am" and feeling God within, we are here not to sit idly but to help others. Helping flows from the heart, generating more power, peace, and love. Giving enlarges the heart; withholding causes stagnation. Just as a well gives fresh water the more it is drawn, the heart yields more peace and harmony through giving. We must not refuse to give, for in truth, you are everything. Our inner energy must be kept alive by giving what we like. Even when the body perishes, the heart becomes a vast space. We practice to attain this greatness, giving to all beings. This heart-based spirituality surpasses all books. We are ultimately one. "When we help one another, it comes from our heart: more power, more peace, more love, more of everything." "As much as is drawn, so much flows... when we draw water, then clean, fresh, very nice water flows out again and again." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Anuṣṭhāna is a dedicated spiritual practice undertaken for a specific purpose. You make a saṅkalpa, a promise to yourself, to perform sādhanā for spiritual growth, health, success, or family harmony. It is often done for one's spouse, praying for their well-being, fostering oneness in the household. This practice extends to praying for good crops and rain, offering the first harvest to God as a blessing. True harmony is seen in traditional multi-generational families where all live as one community, in contrast to modern fragmentation. Anuṣṭhāna also means praying for all creatures and the natural world, recognizing our responsibility to animals and plants. The practice includes physical austerity, but accommodations are made for health reasons, as the intention comes from the heart. Ultimately, anuṣṭhāna is a prayer for universal peace and happiness, embracing the mantra "sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ"—may all be happy. "Anuṣṭhāna is when you make a saṅkalpa. Saṅkalpa means you promise yourself to undertake a practice for a certain purpose." "We pray that all creatures should live in peace, harmony, and health. God protect all. This is our Anuṣṭhāna."

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. Bhajan singing. Relaxation. There are some spices which are very good for joints like ginger and garlic. Agnidevi shows an ayurvedic medicine which is good for joints. She speaks about the ingredients and the preparation of that medicine. Vishwaguruji and Agnidevi answered some questions connecting this medicine. We should make it for ourselves and give it further. Its effect appears after two or three months.

The Guru is omnipresent, and our practice is to recognize and honor this presence. He is always observing and is within us. His physical presence is a blessing, but his true nature is everywhere. We must cultivate love and devotion, which together allow our spiritual connection to grow. Serving him and being in his company is the primary practice, as it reduces the ego. We must learn to surrender completely, trusting him without relying on our own logic. He tests our faith, and those who trust him completely will find all obstacles removed. Approach him not with trivial questions but to seek blessings for your sincere endeavors. His guidance may come in many forms, all of which are for our benefit. Ultimately, we must believe he is the sole doer, and we are instruments in his divine play. "When you close your eyes, or when you even open your eyes, you can see his form sitting here. We should not think that Gurudev is physically not here, but Gurudev is omnipresent." "If we have that mindset within us, then nothing is going to stop us in this world, and we just need to continue this beautiful, beautiful legacy what Gurudev has created and just know that he is inside, and he is always with us."

The human life is a precious opportunity for liberation, yet we waste it entangled in worldly illusion. We are blessed to be part of a global spiritual family under our Guru's guidance. This human birth is rare among millions of life forms; even celestial beings desire it for the chance of spiritual practice. Our purpose is self-inquiry: "Who am I?" and "Who created this world?" The human body is the vehicle for this journey toward liberation. However, the illusion of the world, our attachments, and fleeting pleasures distract us from this goal. We are like a man clinging to a branch over a well, with death below and mice—symbolizing passing day and night—gnawing his lifeline. He is offered salvation but delays for drops of honey, representing worldly delights. We share basic instincts with animals: eating, sleeping, fear, and procreation. The difference that makes us human is practicing spirituality, devotion, and service as guided by the Guru. Material possessions and family attachments remain here at death; only our spiritual practice accompanies us. When the time of reckoning comes, only the Guru's teachings can save us. Do not be a fool who wastes this diamond-like human life. The Guru awakens us: now is the time. Follow the path of devotion and service to attain true, lasting happiness. "Vasudeva Kuṭumbakam. All the world is my family." "Ko'ham? Katham idaṁ jātam? Who am I? How did this happen?" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Guru is the supreme guide, embodying and transcending all divine forms. We sing that the Guru is Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśvara, holding all qualities and being higher than God. Therefore, we integrate all forms into the guru. Even scripture states that while having darśan of a deity, one should not break concentration for anyone except their guru. This is the only exemption, as even the deities declared the guru supreme. For us, the highest is where Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśa reside as one—our Satguru. Satsaṅg is not for new knowledge but to refresh teachings, just as school lessons are repeated. Regular satsaṅg ends the day with divine knowledge that remains for long-term peace, unlike transient worldly emotions. We seek inner peace, which is already within but obscured by layers of distraction. The Upaniṣads teach "Ahaṁ Brahmāsmi"—I am Brahman. Realization requires shifting from "I" to "thy" and going within. The ultimate goal is mokṣa, self-realization. The Guru guides, but we must walk the path ourselves. He provides tools like scripture, but effort is ours, as with school exams. Progress is gradual, not instantaneous; we are like metal hammered and heated into shape. The Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad illustrates we are the witnessing bird, not the doer. This body is temporary like clothing. To open to God, we must love all. Our inner enemies are the biggest obstacle. We must believe we are enough and be content, yet seek more spirituality, not māyā. The Guru accepts all without background checks, giving light equally. This light must be preserved and passed on. He may be strict or loving, mirroring us and hammering us to grow. This difficult phase is necessary and shall pass. We live with dharma and guru kṛpā. He observes us, testing if we apply teachings. We filter knowledge with discernment. Spiritual knowledge, gained through faith, aids growth. We must surrender fully, removing "buts," and have faith in the Guru as the ultimate Viśvaguru.

The Upanishads present a doctoral-level summary of attaining pure knowledge, requiring prior study of Vedas and Purāṇas. The sixth mantra states those pursuing only worldly knowledge enter darkness, while those focused solely on spiritual practice enter greater darkness. Each knowledge yields different results: worldly knowledge aids life until death; spiritual knowledge aims to transcend death. We learn from elders and authoritative texts that both must be combined. The mantra repeats this using manifest and unmanifest: worshipping one leads to darkness, worshipping both is essential. By integrating both, one crosses death to attain immortality. Understanding requires both intellect and heart, deepening through repetition and practice. "Those who are concentrated only on spiritual knowledge are finishing even in the worst darkness." "The one who knows and understands both the manifested world and the unmanifested world can cross the border of death and attain eternal life." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Evening Satsang from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Many people in the world practise prayer and meditation, but they don't know the aim of human life. Great rishis are praying for every living being. We should control all of our senses. There is God's light in every creature. Great spiritual personalities blessed the inauguration of the Rupavas temple with their presence. All the Masters of our parampara were taking care of cows, and Vishwaguruji also does. Cows hold an important place in Indian culture. The products of the cow are very valuable. Never kill cows, but take care of them.

The Guru is the ocean of grace, the ultimate reality beyond all forms. He is addressed as the destroyer of all creation, the one in whose consciousness even Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva reside. The Vedas themselves grow weary trying to describe this principle. This Guru is the supreme, transcendental reality, the very cause of all causes. He is the compassionate lord who takes an avatar in the world for the sake of the souls. The text presents a divine principle that is both the source and the dissolver of all existence, the absolute foundation. "Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśvara, Deva, terī caraṇa citta dhārā hai." "Kṛpā Sindhu Nāra Rūpa Harī Jag Meliyā Avatāra Hai, Jīva Kāraṇa Kāraṇa Svāmī." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Awaken to knowledge, residents of Bhārat. Do not follow any other religion. You are the ones who hurt the wicked and feed the cows. You should learn from all the people who live in India. Spread the word to all four directions. Do not destroy any doctrine. All you world-makers, awaken to knowledge. Do not awaken remorse. Seize those people who have become Nugro, those whom you do not count. You know all the people who live in India. "Now, awaken to knowledge, all you desirous ones, residents of Bhārat." "Do not destroy any doctrine, Jee." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Īśāvāsya Upaniṣad provides moral principles leading to the Advaita truth of unity. The first mantra instructs against greed, as God permeates everything, meaning you have what you need. The second states you cannot avoid work; perform your duty fully throughout life. The third warns that those who kill the Self—through physical or spiritual neglect—enter dark worlds. The teaching then reveals the non-dual principle. The absolute is unmoving yet swifter than the mind, far yet near, outside yet inside. Realizing all beings are the Self within ends hatred and sorrow. This divine force is all-pervasive, pure, and formless. You are that. Mere hearing or reading is insufficient; understanding requires connecting intellect to heart through practice. Consistent practice, not sporadic intensity, leads to realization. Do not give up. "Tad ejati tan naijati tad dūre tad vad antike. That moves, that thing moves; that thing does not move. That thing is very far; this thing is here." "Yas tu sarvāṇi bhūtāny ātman evānupaśyati, sarvabhūteṣu cātmānaṁ tato na vijugupsate. The one who sees everybody in himself... then there is no hatred." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Yoga for wellness is this year's subject, focusing on its global role in health. Yoga has moved from Indian tradition to global practice, increasing our responsibility. The conference aims to establish policy parameters. Two key features were discussed: the holistic integration of traditional and modern medicine, and yoga's specific impact on diseases. Integration must evolve from simple co-location to active cross-referrals between systems. The ultimate aim is to use yoga to reduce the number of patients. For global acceptability, scientific evidence for yoga's value is essential, beyond mere assertion. This requires research and the collaboration of practitioners from both traditional and modern medicine seen here today. The goal is to shape government policy for a healthy India. "Yoga has no side effects." "We need to generate scientific evidence about the value of yoga if we want true acceptability." Filming location: Delhi, India

Satsang from Om Ashram, Pali, Rajasthan, India.

The path of spiritual work is for your own liberation. We are human and make mistakes, but God sees our selfless service, or karma yoga. This work is the beauty of life. Obstacles from divine and negative forces exist; even great beings are tested. The greatest donation is giving the name of God to others. What you do in service ultimately benefits your own soul, as illustrated by Hanuman's service to Rama being for Hanuman's own liberation. You liberate yourself through your own actions; a guru's grace is present, but you must do the work. The process involves three key practices: Svādhyāya, which is studying spiritual texts and your own inner life; Manan, which is constant reflection on truth and your thoughts and actions; and Abhyāsa, which is the practice that leads to perfection, directing your mind to God through kindness, forgiveness, and spiritual disciplines. You are a traveler in this world; you will leave everything behind except your deeds. Harmonize with others, move beyond personal likes and dislikes, and let the river of your efforts flow continuously toward love. "Hanumanjī has done so many things for you. Rāma said no. He has done nothing for me. All that he did is for himself, for his soul, for his liberation." "You are the divine, you are the holy—yes, you are—but you don’t behave like that, you don’t accept this." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia DVD 159a

Satsang from Om Ashram, Pali, Rajasthan, India.

Evening satsang from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India.Emphasizing the vital link between spiritual health and the physical world, The lecturer delivers a powerful message regarding the sanctity of our natural surroundings. He creatively defines the environment as our "in-wire" system, describing how nature physically recharges the human body through breath and food. Drawing upon the legacy of Vishwaguruji and the scriptures of the Bhagavad Gita, he reminds us that Lord Krishna exists within the trees, elevating them to the status of the divine. Swami Phulpuriji warns against the destruction caused by human greed, specifically deforestation and the use of harmful pesticides. He advocates for a return to respecting trees as "Neem Narayan," asserting that true mental peace and human survival are inextricably bound to the preservation of Mother Earth.

Human life's value lies in attaining self-realization, a purpose we often forget. We wander aimlessly, unaware of our divine potential. A story illustrates this: a farmer sold a stone used as a weight for a high price, not knowing it was a diamond. Similarly, we do not know our life's worth until a spiritual master reveals it. Our life passes in stages: childhood in play, youth in friendships and studies, adulthood in family duties, and old age in regret without the power to act. We chase worldly distractions like free clothes, food, and jewels, forgetting the ultimate goal. Just as people missed a kingdom by lingering at an exhibition, we miss self-realization by chasing minor pleasures. Our aim is to attain the divine kingdom within. To do this, we must follow the Guru's teachings. Engage in satsang and bhajans to generate inner spiritual energy. Dedicate all actions to the divine to avoid karmic bondage. Work toward self-realization now, for the time of death is unknown. "Similarly, we do not know the value of a human life." "Our story is that God has given us each and everything. He wants to give us a kingdom, but what do we do? We go after little things." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
