Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Rijeka Ashram, Croatia.

Public lecture of Vishwaguruji from Hotel Sheraton in Zagreb, Croatia.

Yoga is a lifelong journey requiring correct practice and a true master, not mere temporary physical exercise. Śiva is the primordial source, the consciousness that is the entire universe. He manifested alone, then created Viṣṇu and Brahmā. All three functions—creation, protection, liberation—reside in Śiva. We are that one consciousness temporarily in bodies. Our path is determined by our choices and associations. We must follow the true master in an authentic lineage to ascend; otherwise, we are pulled down by desire and bad company. The chakras map this journey from base consciousness to liberation. "Yoga is a lifelong journey." "A real Satguru is one who has left the body; only then is he a Satguru."

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

The five sheaths of being, from the physical to the blissful, are shaped by our nourishment. The physical body, Annamaya Kośa, is the food sheath. What you consume directly shapes your mind and energy. Modern diets of meat and chemicals have corrupted this foundation, leading to illness and a loss of vitality. Historically, nourishment was pure and communal, not commercial. The subsequent sheaths—prāṇic energy, mind, knowledge, and bliss—are all influenced by this initial, physical intake. Impure food generates impure energy, leading to a mind dominated by anger and a knowledge directed toward harm, like industrial slaughter. The bliss sheath then devolves into mere desire. The path requires sattvic purity in nourishment to elevate each successive layer of being. Do not argue with this wisdom, or you will be pulled down by your own inner impediments, symbolized by the crocodile of the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra. "Jaisā khāī annā, vaisā rahe man." What kind of nourishment or food you are eating, like that will turn your mind. "Your knowledge will not work here with the bull. Your knowledge is only like this, my son. Let us go."

The practice of yoga requires only a small, dedicated space and awareness. We begin by relaxing the body and observing the breath without effort. Physical postures like Pavanamuktāsana release lower back tension and aid digestion. Understanding time and space is crucial, requiring guidance to adapt practice to modern life, like working with a mouse. Shoulder movements address kyphosis, not just shoulder issues; proper head alignment is vital to prevent muscle strain. In twists like Bhuñamānāsana, the principle is to stretch and rotate the spine safely, like stones in a mill, without force. Side bends like Meru Ākhara Āsana stimulate organs by alternately stretching and contracting them, promoting circulation. Breath retention, or kumbhaka, strengthens prāṇa and influences the nervous system. Postures like Sūmeru āsana open the nasal passages and refresh the body. The practice culminates in mindful observation of the body, breath, and the effects of each āsana. "For life and death, two square meters is enough." "Try to feel with every exhalation that you are more and more relaxed, and as you are relaxed, you are going deeper and deeper into the position." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Our inner voice and the quality of our thoughts shape our reality. We have tens of thousands of thoughts daily, each an internal conversation. In crucial moments, this voice arises with doubt. The key is not what it says, but how it speaks—whether softly or harshly. This tone affects our mood and state more than the content. We can practice changing this inner dialogue to be loving, as in maitrī meditation. Speaking kindly to ourselves allows us to speak kindly to others. Laughter declines from childhood to adulthood, indicating a loss of inner joy. Cultivating a gentle inner voice can reverse this trend. When facing decisions, practice prāṇāyāma to calm the nervous system and cultivate a "big trust" that life happens for you, regardless of the outcome. Mantra repetition is about the bhāva, the inner feeling, not the volume. "It doesn’t even matter what it’s saying. It’s just about, is it talking soft or is it talking hard?" "Life happens not to you, life happens for you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We are all one, and yoga is the practice of uniting. Our world needs oneness, and we pray for each other across all cultures and religions. Different traditions have different calendars and celebrations, but all seek happiness and we should respect them. This time of year is for reflection and connection after eleven months that may have brought disease, disaster, or conflict. We pray for a peaceful coming year. The essence of yoga is that we are all one—not high or low. Our practice is a spiritual science for health, which is our true wealth. A core teaching is that everything is interconnected: "One in all and all in one." This applies to all living beings and the five layers of our being. Yoga as union has existed since the beginning. Festivals arise in various cultures to foster spirituality and community during times when people might otherwise idle and conflict. Our traditions, like decorations and gift-giving, are active expressions of this unifying spirit. The aim of Yoga in Daily Life is to bring people into this experience of oneness through practice and understanding. "One in all and all in one. That's all." "In this month we should connect and we can pray... We pray that the coming year will be peaceful and harmonious." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

India, Summer 2005. Report about the Swamijis activities.

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.

The essence of practice is to remember God and act with grace toward all creatures. Your spiritual practice is good. If you claim to have no time for practice, you might as well claim to have no time to eat. Food is vital for all beings, from elephants to ants, yet it is God who provides it. Do not be proud, for the giver is God. Different lands have different names for God, and that is good. Many no longer pray before meals, thinking humanity can do everything, but God is present everywhere, balancing all things. We are in the age of Kali Yuga; be careful. Our visible practice is one thing, but we must aim for the unity of Brahmaloka. Life is like drawing water from a deep well; the rope may break just as you near the top. All our efforts can be lost in an instant. We are like caged parrots, fed but unable to fly freely. Therefore, practice your mantra, think good thoughts for all beings, and live with happiness and kindness. The goal is to become one in peace and harmony. "It is said: if you have no time for practicing yoga or anything, then it means you also have no time for eating." "So, my dears, we want, and we should pray more and more. Here is not enough, and that is not enough." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The four aspects of grace culminate in self-love, which is essential for spiritual growth. Grace has four aspects: divine grace for human incarnation, scriptural grace from sacred texts, guru's grace from the teacher, and self-grace, which is giving mercy to oneself. Guru's grace is a response to the disciple's devotion and service. Applying this to oneself means loving yourself and giving that grace to yourself. Self-love is not ego, which takes, but a high vibration that gives. A key teaching is to love others at least as much as you love yourself, yet many struggle with self-love. A practical example is sending loving energy to your own body, which can have healing effects. The path to self-love involves three steps: first, accept yourself as you are. Second, seek to understand how you became who you are through self-inquiry. Third, from understanding comes the desire to give, including forgiving yourself. This process of accept, understand, and give is the essence of the teaching. "Love each and every living being, if not more, then at least as much as yourself." "We cannot really love others if we don't love ourselves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vienna, Austria. The full moon affects us whether we are aware of it or not. We are searching for our aim, but we have many complications in this world. Finally we have to leave with empty hands. By practicing yoga vidya we can awaken our awareness.

The roots of Yoga in Daily Life are traced to the saint Ālakapurījī from the Satya Yuga. Evidence was found after long research, including the discovery of his Himalayan cave between Kedarnath and Badrinath. The river Alaknandā is named after him. When it meets the Bhagīrathī at Devaprayāg, they form the complete Gaṅgā. Compassion is the first step. When it awakens, your heart becomes like a mother's, feeling the suffering of all creatures. Every yogī is an incarnation. Through practice, awareness arises that every entity is my Ātmā. The individual soul suffers and changes, but the Ātmā is one, universal, and observing. God gave fear for survival. Non-violence means causing no trouble—physical, mental, or emotional—to others or to yourself through anger or hate. Violence returns as karma. Yoga brings peace by reducing greed, jealousy, and ego. It is for body, energy, mind, and liberation. The system has spread, promoting health and harmony, as seen in the peaceful separation of Czech and Slovak peoples. Knowledge, like a river, flows for all. "Viśva prāṇī merī ātmā hai—every entity is my Ātmā." "Ātmā soi Paramātmā; Ātmā is the Supreme, the Highest, God." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

We are transforming desert into oasis, a spiritual and environmental journey. God prepared a beautiful home, but human attachment led to greed, fear, and anger, transforming that paradise. We now live in Kali Yuga, where forests, rivers, and air are degraded. Deserts appear as jungles are burned for agriculture. Modern development brought tubewells, pumping the earth's blood and lowering the water table. We must change direction. Our master chose this barren land to build an ashram, a school. We cleared poisonous bush and planted over 100,000 native trees. We divided the land into fields with small dams to hold moisture and protect soil. We built a system to catch rainwater, channeling it through fields into a sealed lake for our use, with surplus filling another lake to recharge groundwater. The water table rose from 100 meters deep to one meter below the surface. The ashram is becoming a jungle, attracting 60 bird species and many animals. This shows we can restore harmony with nature. We are nature. Our inner transformation mirrors the land's: we root out anger and greed, planting seeds of love. The ashram builds us as we build it. "We are pumping the blood of Mother Earth." "We are building an ashram, and the ashram is building us." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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."

A holistic yoga system offers a vital complement to modern medicine within a globalized, rapid, and restless world. Western medicine excels at structural issues but faces challenges with widespread psychosomatic conditions. Applying yoga occurs on three levels: as preventive self-care to reduce systemic costs, as a supportive adjunct to enhance medical treatments, and as a primary treatment for specific functional or psychosomatic ailments. Encouraging patients to practice the complete system, rather than seeking quick fixes, allows them to resolve their own issues through self-knowledge. This path addresses the root restlessness driving the demand for rapid, universalized treatments that often fail. The methods provided are excellent for both prevention and fostering genuine well-being. "When someone comes with a particular complaint, I advise them: 'Practice the Yoga in Daily Life system as a complete system.'" "People suffer because they are globalized, rapid, and restless. Consequently, they seek quick, rapid, and universalized medications and treatments—an approach that often fails." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

We need a silent revolution in leadership and consciousness. Old models have failed, creating crisis. Leaders are overwhelmed, lack self-awareness, and cannot inspire, leaving people disengaged. The solution is changing leaders. We are entering a cognitive age where mind care is paramount. Control your thoughts, for they become your destiny. Media exaggerates violence; data shows heart disease and cancer are far greater threats. The real danger is mind pollution—the poisoning of our minds. Yoga is for non-violence and peace. It is a systematic science for mastering the mind and achieving inner peace. A peaceful society guarantees the right to self-realization. Yoga accelerates human growth and is vital for well-being and social harmony. We must go public, integrate yoga into all education and leadership training, and promote it globally. "Control your thoughts, for they trigger your emotions and feelings. Control your emotions, for they become your words." "Yoga is a systematic, conscious science of human development. Its main technique is gaining mastery over the mind, stopping the internal dialogue." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

Public lecture of Vishwaguruji from Hotel Sheraton in Zagreb, Croatia.

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

The true means to supreme bliss is satsang, yet worldly pursuits are filled with sorrow. Only the divine incarnation of the Supreme Guru bestows true happiness and Self-knowledge. Without the Guru, there is no knowledge, and without knowledge, sorrow has no end. No being has ever attained the Soul-Supreme without a Guru. Great ascetics with supernatural powers, like Sanghdev who lived 1,400 years, still lacked soul-knowledge until liberated by enlightened saints. Similarly, the egoistic tantric Bhaskarananda was transformed upon hearing the Guru's words, realizing his inner faults. The Guru's name, chanted with faith, crosses the ocean of worldly existence. A human life without devotion is like an animal's; one must perform spiritual practice and service. The root of meditation is the Guru's form; the root of worship is the Guru's feet. "Śiva, Viṣṇu, Brahmā... guru vinā bhav nidhi tīre na koi." (Even Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma cannot cross the ocean of existence without the Guru.) "Kabuk deva bhayog karni kar... toy nidayo satguru apke mo jagayo." (Sometimes one becomes a god, sometimes an insect... only the True Guru awakens you.)

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
