Bhajans on the Satsang
0:10 - 1:00 (50 min)
A devotee expresses a profound longing for spiritual liberation and the Guru's grace. The plea is to become the dust at the Guru's feet, seeking awakening through a sacred mantra. The request is for all karmic bonds to be severed. The heart yearns for the Guru's holy company, a longing so deep it brings tears. The devotion culminates in repeated, fervent invocations and praises to the divine Guru and the lineage.
"O Gurudev, please let me be the dust of your feet."
"Please remove all the chains of my karmas."
Success in Yoga
1:05 - 2:20 (75 min)
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."

Shiva and the Chakras
3:15 - 4:40 (85 min)
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.

Anahat chakra and spirituality
4:45 - 5:53 (68 min)
The human journey is from mental turbulence to the heart's peace. The world is turbulent because people's minds and hearts are turbulent. Money is not a true loss; character lost is everything lost. Human life is the most precious diamond, given not for begging but for protection and Self-knowledge. People suffer because they are extroverted, chasing impermanent things. Remember you are human; this awareness protects from mistakes. The mission is to serve, help, protect, and attain liberation from rebirth. The soul is individual, but the Ātmā is universal; all creatures are one's own Self. Follow the four pillars: Dharma, your duty; Artha, sustenance; Kāma, righteous action; and Mokṣa, liberation. Education is missing, leading to distraction. Practice yoga always to regain direction. The problem is within; be the change you wish to see. The Anāhata Chakra is the heart center. The Ātmā, the Self, is felt there. When awakened, it bestows qualities like peace, love, and forgiveness. Its shadow brings the opposite. Seek the Self within.
"Money is lost, nothing is lost. Health is lost, something is lost. But if the character is lost, everything is lost."

The origin of Jyotir Linga
7:50 - 8:43 (53 min)
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?"

Jadan Ashram sets an example
8:50 - 9:37 (47 min)
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."

Vishwagurujis speech at peace conference in Prague
9:45 - 10:24 (39 min)
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."

The Glory of Gurudeva's Name
10:30 - 10:49 (19 min)
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.)

Beauty is in our heart
10:55 - 11:43 (48 min)
True yoga requires right conduct, not just physical exercise. Without abstaining from meat and alcohol, it is merely exercise, not the yogic path. The world often misunderstands this. The purpose is to return to God, a knowledge preserved in India. Foreign influences promoting contrary habits have caused problems. A return to peace and understanding is coming. Many worldwide now question harming animals. This is yoga in daily life. Many teachers work globally, but practice is undermined if students return home to eat meat. All beings are connected. The practice must be consistent, regardless of one's background.
"If someone consumes meat and alcohol, they are not a yogī, and it is not yoga. It becomes merely an exercise."
"We should not kill animals. This is yoga in daily life."

Be aware of the importance of your life!
11:50 - 12:31 (41 min)
The full moon's influence operates whether one is aware of it or not. Many practice yoga only for physical well-being, indifferent to what follows life. Yet one's own actions create a destiny that follows like a shadow, with all accounts settled at life's end. The aim of self-knowledge is distinct, rooted in inner purity. The light of enlightenment is not physical light but the light of knowledge, which exists even without sight. The individual consciousness is entangled in a net of complexities and latent tendencies. Only the Satguru can cut these binding threads. Satsang can suddenly resolve deep fixations and misunderstandings, awakening the awareness that the true self is eternal. Avoid gatherings that criticize other paths, seeking instead those grounded in genuine knowledge.
"Destiny is not somewhere in the sky; destiny is following us like the shadow of our body."
"In this kośa, there is a light of knowledge."

Time according to Vedas and Puranas I part
12:35 - 13:30 (55 min)
Time is a cyclical concept without beginning or end, where everything repeats across countless independent universes. Each universe operates under its own laws and has its own trinity of creator, preserver, and destroyer. The structure of time is mathematically precise, defined by repeating ages called yugas. Four yugas—Satya, Tretā, Dvāpara, and Kali—form a Mahāyuga of 4,320,000 years. One thousand Mahāyugas constitute a single day of Brahmā, known as a Kalpa. This cycle of creation and dissolution repeats across vast scales, from the lifespan of a Brahmā to the final Mahā Pralaya where all existence withdraws into unity. Realizing this immense scale puts personal concerns into perspective.
"The concept of time in the Vedas and ancient scriptures is cyclical. Everything moves in a circle, a cycle that neither begins nor ends."
"Four Yugas make one Mahāyuga. One thousand Mahāyugas form one Kalpa. A Kalpa is one day of Brahmā."

Mantra and Mala
13:35 - 14:13 (38 min)
Life is the Ātmā within all beings, seen through the Self. Humans consume life, yet must understand this act distances them from the supreme. Feeling pain teaches non-violence. To approach God requires immense time and grace; unintentional harm may be forgiven, but intentional killing bars the path. Saints do not boast; true greatness lies in selfless service.
The mala is a constant step toward God, paired with a mantra given by the guru or family. Regular prayer, like the Muslim practice, instills discipline. The greeting of praṇām is a mutual prayer for goodness. There are two mala practices: one uses a 108-bead mala with a Guru Mukhī bead, turned with the thumb and middle finger without crossing that bead. The other is Sumaran, a constant walking remembrance like the breath, without a guru point. The story of Hanuman illustrates that one's chosen divine name, like Rām, becomes an inseparable companion through constant repetition, leading ultimately to merging with divine light.
"One mala means for us one step toward God."
"Your Rām is your mother, your father, your brother, your good friend."

We need Gurudev
14:20 - 15:14 (54 min)
The disciple must never abandon the need for the guru or the teachings, for that is the gravest error. The guru is the principle that leads from ignorance to knowledge. This Guru Tattva is the essential diamond, not the physical form, yet it is embodied to provide tangible guidance. God aids the seeker by sending the guru, who is thus revered as indispensable. The aim is to merge the individual self with the cosmic Self, like a river entering the ocean. This is the Advaita understanding, where the one supreme reality is reflected in all individuals. This merging is the true purpose of yoga, achieved through the guru's grace and teachings. The embodied form concentrates this divine energy, making darśana transformative. The state beyond the three guṇas is inexpressible; it can only be pointed to as 'not this, not that.'
"The moment you think you know everything, very soon you will find yourself asking, 'Where are the bricks? Where is the parachute?'"
"God will send your friend with the boat. And the Guru is here."

The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
15:20 - 15:41 (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."

The Guru can change our destiny
16:25 - 16:47 (22 min)
The guru's grace can alter destiny.
Everything depends on our karmas. What is written in your destiny will happen. A story illustrates the guru's power to change this. A king's guru met the Vedāntā, the destiny writer, going to inscribe the fate of the king's newborn twins. She declared one son would live in poverty selling wood from a horse, and the other would hunt, barely catching one animal daily. The guru warned her she would regret this. The guru then left. The king was later killed in an attack, and the twins were raised in poverty by a potter, fulfilling the destined misery. Years later, the guru returned. He instructed the wood-selling brother to sell his horse each day, forcing the Vedāntā to provide a new one each time to fulfill the destiny. He told the hunter to only hunt a golden deer, ignoring all other animals. The Vedāntā was thus forced to provide a golden deer daily to meet the decree of one kill. The brothers grew wealthy. The Vedāntā, overwhelmed, begged the guru for forgiveness and agreed to rewrite their destiny to become kings again, which then occurred.
"Just be careful that you do not regret your decision later."
"Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam."

The Essence of Yoga in Daily Life
17:00 - 17:35 (35 min)
Yoga in daily life is the integration of spiritual discipline into every action. You must know your purpose. I taught yoga abroad and required a commitment to vegetarianism, refusing to teach those who ate meat. In India, some who never ate meat now do. Upon waking, affirm "I am a human being." Water is divine; a few drops remind you it is within all. Apply it like an injection to feel Jagadīś in your body. Do not let animals into sleeping rooms, though a cat or goat is good. Protect animals and India. Sanātana Dharma exists only in India. Many Indians abroad worship and have left meat. Practice yoga daily. Protect animals, protect India. Do not let animals into the house. The alternative to mobile confusion is to say Om when using the telephone.
"Water is Jagadīś. Jagadīś, Sarveś, Jagadīś, Bhagavān."

The Awakening of Consciousness: Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
19:15 - 21:09 (114 min)
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."

Our days pass, yet we seldom consider who grants true achievement. Humanity began in simplicity, living well with shared resources and finding happiness. Now, we possess abundant technology, but remain incomplete, never satisfied. Our progress soars, yet we fight through machines, not as humans present. We practice much, but our complexities create difficulty and confusion. These material pursuits are a game that will not hold; they will fade. We must look within and return to our true nature, for external things are transient.

The human body is a sacred shawl and a divine coach, given for a short time. The shawl is woven from the five elements on the wheel of the eight chakras, colored by the name of God. Fools soil it quickly, but saints keep it pure. The body is a coach pulled by ten powers, guided by the mind, with the soul as the king inside. Five thieves—desire, anger, pride, greed, and ego—steal this coach until the guru's word drives them away. This world is a two-day meeting; we arrive and depart alone, accompanied only by our deeds. The goal of life is nothing less than God-realization.

Awaken from the slumber of ignorance. Time is slipping away after countless sorrowful lifetimes. The human birth is a priceless diamond, not easily attained again. One wanders through existences trapped in illusion without the True Guru. Take refuge in the True Guru to shatter illusions and fulfill this birth. Search for the Ātman within, for the divine resides in the heart. This world is false, a cage of karma and qualities where the soul suffers. One is bound by the "I" and attachment, yet is of the nature of immortal bliss. Through the Guru, one unites with Truth and ends the cycles of birth.
