Welcome to the third Sri Swami Maheshwarananda Festival of Spiritual Music, Debrecen, Hungary.

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 master bestows the nectar of immortality, liberating one from the cycle of life and death. According to eternal law, the master takes form to revive those trapped in mortality. This gift of immortality and bliss is understood within. Without fortunate destiny, one cannot attain this connection. That link is found in human birth, granting freedom from bondage and making one liberated while still living. The true master constantly dwells without attachment, and the disciple bathes in that light daily. "Satguru Jari Pilai Mujiko." "Gurujī merā amara jārī le āyā."

A guided practice for relaxation and movement through precise physical alignment and breath. Lie down comfortably. Stabilize the lower back on the mat. Place arms beside the body with palms facing upward. Make the neck long. Keep legs together. Breathe with long, full yoga breaths. Movement must be synchronized and without personal initiative. Only move arms when instructed. Do not arch the lower back. Practice involves raising and lowering arms and legs with the breath. The core practice consists of mantra, bhajan, and sitting. Close the eyes and follow the count together. Do not use your own mind. "Be guru-mukhī and not man-mukhī." "Only mantra, bhajan, and sitting—only these three points we have to practice very nicely."

Anuṣṭhāna is a dedicated spiritual practice undertaken with a specific saṅkalpa, or resolve. This resolve is a personal vow to perform disciplined sādhanā for a purpose, such as spiritual growth, health, success, or family harmony. In a household, partners perform anuṣṭhāna for each other's well-being, fostering oneness. A family maintains harmony when all generations live together with care, respect, and shared responsibility, consulting elders on important matters. True marital union is a merging into oneness, like rivers entering one ocean. This practice aims to cultivate Satya Yuga qualities within Kali Yuga. Anuṣṭhāna is also performed for nature, praying for good crops and rain, offering the first harvest to the Divine. One must not attempt to control nature but surrender to its wisdom, as illustrated by farmers who demanded perfect weather and harvested empty seeds. The practice extends to praying for all creatures, for their habitats and peace, recognizing the interconnectedness of all life. The core mantra is "Sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ"—may all be happy. Physical discomfort during practice is to be met with tolerance and adaptation, as the essence of anuṣṭhāna arises from the heart's sincere intention. "Marriage means to merge. It is like two rivers entering one ocean." "Let it be in nature’s hands." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice of yoga unites us with the cosmic self, fostering oneness among all beings. All traditions and religions aim for health and goodwill, especially during holy days like Christmas. These times invite reflection on the past year and prayers for future peace. The core teaching is that all existence is interconnected—humans, animals, and the living Earth. This unity is expressed through the five sheaths, from the physical to the blissful body. Yoga in daily life is this unifying practice from the Satya Yuga, a tool for joining, not dividing. Festivals and traditions worldwide are expressions of this spiritual unity. The ultimate realization is that everything is contained within the one, and the one is within all. "One in all and all in one." "Yoga means uniting. We are joining; we are not throwing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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.

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."

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."

This gathering commemorates the divine play and eternal presence of a great master. Great souls do not die; they consciously merge with the Supreme Self. Their Mahāsamādhi is a celebration of liberation, not mourning. The master's life was a continuous divine play, performing miracles like reviving a bride, manifesting water in a drought, and restoring life to hunted birds. These acts are not magic but compassionate interventions to awaken faith. The lineage's energy flows powerfully on this night, offering a unique opportunity for deeper meditation and devotion. To receive this, one must surrender fully, let go of the past, and awaken from spiritual sleep. The inner light must be kindled through personal effort, supported by grace. "Great Mahāpuruṣas, they do not die. They become one with the Supreme Self again." "Today is the day, the night, where we need to awaken. We are asleep. But it’s time to wake up."

India, Summer 2005. Report about the Swamijis activities.

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

We prepare two distinct meals for athletes. The first is whole wheat pasta with sauce and a green salad for endurance. The second is vegetables with fava beans and tofu for muscle building. Both include a milkshake. For athletes, avoid sugar; use raisins or dried fruit. Use minimal water and oil. Start cooking harder vegetables first. Season lightly with Himalayan salt, tamari, and spices like cumin and turmeric for digestion. Add leafy herbs at the end to preserve aroma. The milkshake combines nuts, cottage cheese, milk, and natural sweeteners. It serves as a protein-rich energy source. Brewer's yeast can be added for B12. "A key principle in cooking is to never use too much water." "Sports food should not be overly spiced or heavily fried, but it should not be tasteless either." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

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

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

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
