Flowing of prana and consciousness
0:10 - 1:16 (66 min)
Recorded on
The body must be kept akhaṇḍa—unbroken—for the free flow of prāṇa through its 72,000 nerves. Damage, like tattoos or wounds, creates leaks in this energy system. A story illustrates this: a king with a thigh wound was rejected as a ritual sacrifice because his body was not pristine. The central energy channel, Suṣumnā, is supported by Vajranāḍī, which governs immunity and is stimulated by postures like Vajrāsana. The body's many energy centers, or chakras, are mapped from the feet (earth) to above the head (divine). The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī energy from the Mūlādhāra Chakra is inherently safe and cannot be harmful. Parents shape a child through three foods: physical nourishment, ideally vegetarian; mental input from the senses; and the inculcation of qualities like truth and compassion. Establishing a daily routine of early rising, evacuation, exercise, and balanced meals creates a foundation for health and proper energy flow. "Therefore, we have to take care of our body so that we do not have any damage or wounds on it." "Parents have a very, very important role in how the child grows up. That is the time when we feed information into that system." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Soul is One
1:20 - 2:32 (72 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from weekend Yoga Seminar in Novo Mesto, Slovenia. We are all like paras. We can create good qualities in others. When paras touch the iron it becomes gold. Guru is more than paras, Guru can transform the disciple into Guru. If not, either Gurudev is not right, either there is a distance between the Master and disciple. The physical body is called annamaya kosa, while the energy body is called pranamaya kosa. Water is water in each of the forms. Similarly, Soul is one.
The beauty of yoga nidra
2:40 - 3:53 (73 min)
Recorded on
Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. We can realize the proper time of something by Jyotish and by the actual strength of our ida and pingala nadis. In the morning we should think first that we are human. It means I should not do wrong things for others. Nidra means half sleep and half awaken. There are three statuses aware sleep and dream. When you drive a car you have to be always awakened. In yoga nidra there are all three situations. We came from the earth we live in the earth and we shall go to the earth. We need a Guru to give us instructions and taking care of us if we do something wrong. Yoga is that force that consciousness that driver which leads our car which is our body.

You will be according to what you eat
5:40 - 6:16 (36 min)
Recorded on
Spiritual nourishment parallels physical nourishment. You have received atmosphere and practice, yet may not understand it fully. Food is tested by sight, heart, taste, and digestion. To enjoy taste, eat less and chew well so the stomach works easily. The body's internal processes are unknown to us. Many yogis advise eating less, drinking only as needed, and meditating more. Our modern habits of eating late and sitting after are poor. Yoga practice is vital for health. Respect the cooks who prepare clean, healthy food. There is a distinction: 'food' includes many items, but 'ān' specifically means seeds—the pure, essential nourishment. This seed is divine; God is in that 'ān'. What you eat influences your being, as parental seeds carry influences from their food and feelings. Habits form powerfully, as with alcohol, which was meant as medicine, not for consumption. Maintain harmony in relationships and in travel. "Eat less, drink only as needed, and meditate more." "God is An. Because in An is God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Bathing in the river Alakhnanda
6:20 - 7:11 (51 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Alakhpuriji Parampara is from Satyayuga, from Shiva. Bhagirathi and Alaknanda river join at Devpryag and forms Ganga. Story of Nandadevi and Tiger. Explanation of the origin of the Ganga river. For those, who wash themselves in the Ganga or the Alakhnanda all impurities will be cleaned. Don't get stuck in desires, we desire to help everyone.
What Guru Purnima means?
7:15 - 8:05 (50 min)
Recorded on
The essence of Guru Pūrṇimā is honoring the principle of the teacher. The Guru is supreme, even above the divine trinity. Anything that imparts knowledge is a guru, from parents to animals. The true Satguru does not proclaim the title; it is received. The guru paramparā, the lineage, flows from Śiva through successive masters. A sannyāsī leaves the family yet has a duty to help all. One must work in the world while following spiritual practice. The guru gives the disciple a key, a staff, and a duty. Guru Pūrṇimā is the full moon, representing completeness. We worship the guru to become complete. "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt Parabrahmā." "A true Satguru will not say, 'I am the Satguru.'"

There is nothing higher than the Guru
8:10 - 8:53 (43 min)
Recorded on
The Guru is the supreme principle, greater than all gods. Even divine incarnations like Rāma and Kṛṣṇa had gurus and attended school, upholding this principle. God is one and present in every grain and cell, yet to know this and understand how to live and work, one needs the guru. The guru is not merely a physical body but the eternal name and the imparting source of all knowledge, from spiritual wisdom to practical skills like riding a horse. Without a guru, there is no progress; even perfect students require a teacher for certification. The guru principle is the highest authority, to which even Śiva, Viṣṇu, and Brahmā are subordinate. A true Satguru is complete Brahman, the source from which all completeness arises. Those who fail to recognize the real Satguru suffer through ages, while the guru's grace can transform poison into nectar. The guru may appear in humble forms, like a hardworking parent, not only in meditation. Ultimately, one must surrender fully to the guru. "Who is greater than Bhagavān Rāma and Kṛṣṇa? They too must have a guru." "Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvarāha, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Guru Ve Namaḥa." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The science of the constellation
9:00 - 9:54 (54 min)
Recorded on
The light of the divine name is our refuge. We are all servants taking refuge in the Lord. The inner flame of the heart is eternal, unlike a physical flame. Great saints and gurus perform selfless service, creating a unity between teacher and disciple. In Vedic astrology, the constellation at the exact moment of birth determines the first letter of one's name. This moment is defined by when the child touches the earth. The sun and moon are crucial in this calculation. The specific first letter, derived from the constellation, is paramount for well-being, regardless of the language or the full name chosen. This is a cosmic science. We are individual drops, but together we form a mighty river. We must unite in this understanding. My own guru instructed me that I did not need to study this astrology, as the knowledge was given directly. "Ham sab dās prabhu—'ham' means we, all." "In that name, what time is it?... that is the constellation that you should know, and then you make a name." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Yoga is for tho whole world
9:00 - 9:43 (43 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a universal practice for harmony and health, transcending religion. Chemical contamination of our food, water, and earth over decades has led to widespread disease and imbalance. Yoga addresses the whole being—physical, mental, and spiritual—to restore well-being. Some initially resisted elements like Aum or Surya Namaskar, but many worldwide now embrace them. The Badī Khāṭū Praṇām is a comprehensive practice of 108 postures, aligning with the body's structures and designed to enhance concentration and learning. Modern reliance on tuition reflects a loss of true learning, where direct understanding and repetition were key. Preserving one's mother tongue and cultural language is vital amidst global exchange. "Yoga has nothing to do with religion. Yoga is for the whole body, five. Life elements, harmonies, health, balance, concentrations, and happiness." "Mother tongue means Indian language."

Dharma danda
9:50 - 10:33 (43 min)
Recorded on
The Dharma Daṇḍa is the principle that protecting dharma ensures its protection of you. We have learned about our inner self, not the outside. In ancient times, kings first bowed to their gurus. Upon receiving the crown, they were no longer for their family but for the whole country. If you protect dharma, dharma will protect you. This principle applies to kingdoms and spiritual lineages. The daṇḍa, or staff, is the dharma daṇḍa. It is not for beating but is the principle itself. A guru once struck a king's head three times with the daṇḍa, saying to protect dharma. This staff symbolizes authority for all, not for one's own circle. Similarly, in Christianity, the pastoral staff is the shepherd's daṇḍa. At the Kumbh Melā, spiritual leaders carry the daṇḍa as a traditional symbol of this authority. The daṇḍa must be treated with holiness. Like a shepherd's dog that protects the flock following its master's instruction, the daṇḍa represents the duty to protect. Uphold the principle, and it will uphold you. "Dharma rakṣita rakṣita. If we protect dharma, if we uphold it, then dharma will protect us." "This daṇḍa is the dharma daṇḍa. That dharma gives daṇḍa." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Never think that you are a Guru
10:35 - 11:18 (43 min)
Recorded on
The path of spiritual discipline requires the guru's grace and careful practice. Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna is a potent practice that must be preserved and not given improperly. Many who received it without true devotion later left and set themselves up as masters, losing everything. To receive the guru's grace is not easy; becoming a disciple is difficult. The spiritual path is like carrying a single flame through a strong wind on a dark night, or like walking on a sharp knife with dangers on both sides. Even divine figures like Kṛṣṇa and Jesus walked such a path. Sādhanā itself is that knife, requiring us to be peaceful, harmonious, and balanced. Just as a doctor must perform a heart operation himself and cannot delegate it, only a genuine guru from the paramparā can hold and transmit the Kriyā Śakti. You may have the practice, but do not think to give it to others. Yoga is more than āsanas; there are many sādhanās. What you have been given, you must handle correctly. Your real essence is what matters. "On the day you give up Guru Kṛpā, all sādhanā will be gone." "Only that one who could. This is also like a spiritual path."

I am one and you are all
11:25 - 12:04 (39 min)
Recorded on
The present moment is our true home, beyond past and future. The past is completely gone and dwelling on it holds nothing for us. The future remains unknown. We are here now, in this peaceful and harmonious present. We gather from many distant places, drawn by a shared intention, not by logistical concerns. This ashram is a holy place, connected to a lineage of teachers. The essence is oneness: we are all one, and the One is in all. Our practice must balance discipline with compassion for the body. Love your body as your dearest instrument. If a posture causes pain, adjust it comfortably. The practice of mantra and meditation should flow naturally, like a mala moving on its own. Our spiritual practice is a lifelong journey, as constant as the breath, continuing until the very end. Ultimately, we must enjoy life, be good, and remain happy and united. "The past is past. Even the very beginning of one second is already gone." "We are one, that’s it. I am one, and you are all, and you are all, I am one." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Karma yoga means serving
12:10 - 12:50 (40 min)
Recorded on
Karma yoga is skillful action performed as selfless service. We practice in groups for Kriya, teaching, life integration, and service. Karma yoga is universal, seen in Christian nuns serving the poor, recognizing God in all. Service includes donating anonymously, where the gift is released without attachment to its use. True seva extends beyond formal charity to daily life: letting a hurried driver pass, helping the elderly, or assisting animals. However, service must be skillful. A story illustrates this: a disciple moved a snail from a road for its safety, but the master corrected him, noting the snail's intent was to cross to the other side; thus, help given without understanding can create more work. The essence is skillful action. "Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam"—yoga is skill in action. Even small acts like offering water or clearing plates are karma yoga. If you think you have no time for seva, you do—in driving, working, or thinking kindly. "When you give, do not announce that you are giving for something. Once you have given, it is no longer yours." The best practices and prayers are secondary to selfless service. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Karma and destiny
12:55 - 13:48 (53 min)
Recorded on
A seeker's journey illustrates the universal scales of divine justice. My life changed through an accident that led me to spirituality, seeking completeness I never found in books or marriage. Ultimately, meeting my partner and this community provided the connection I needed. The cosmic law is administered by two judges: Yamarāja, who presides over death and punishment, and Dharmarāja, who presides over justice for good karma. All beings are brought after death; their karma is precisely counted. Modern medicine can temporarily recall a soul, but the karmic account is absolute. Good deeds like kindness and non-violence lead one to Dharmarāja and higher realms. Bad deeds, especially killing animals, lead to punishment in hell, where one experiences the suffering they inflicted. Stories illustrate that even divine grace, as when Śiva protected a devotee, operates within this truth. All actions are counted without exception; there is no forgiveness, only the inevitable result. Our duty is to live with love and non-harm toward every being, for this is true spirituality. "Karma kīye jā, phala dega bhagavān. You should go ahead and do your good karma. And the fruits of that will be given by God." "There is no forgiveness. That is this. Like a cheese, half this side and half that side." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Proudness
13:55 - 14:47 (52 min)
Recorded on
The ego of a devotee is cured by divine grace through humility. Even great beings can develop pride in their service. Hanumān once believed Rāma's victory depended entirely on him. Earlier, Garuḍa also lost faith after rescuing Rāma from a snake-arrow, thinking God needed his help. Garuḍa, in despair, was told only the crow-sage Kakabhuśuṇḍī could cure him. As Garuḍa approached, hearing the sage's discourse restored his devotion, and he saw even the gods listening. To cure Hanumān's pride, Rāma sent him to deliver a ring to a sage in the Himalayas. The sage told Hanumān to throw it into a pond, which was filled with identical rings from every divine incarnation. Hanumān then understood his role was not unique but part of an eternal cycle, curing his ego. "Hanumānjī became proud. He thought, 'If I were not, Rāma would not be successful.'" "Hanumān, don’t be proud. Don’t think that through your help, Rāma was victorious... It was a test for you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Om Ashram
14:50 - 14:59 (9 min)
Recorded on
A large-scale world peace monument shaped as the universal Oṃ symbol is being built. Since 1993, this structure has served humanity by teaching yoga, meditation, and philosophy to preserve Vedic wisdom. It will contain 108 residential compartments for visitors and students. The design originated from a yogi's vision, who developed the "Yoga in Daily Life" system for holistic health, now practiced globally. The site already functions as an active center with a free school, a college, and a hospital. To heal the local ecosystem, an artificial lake harvests monsoon rain, raising groundwater. Worldwide projects protect animals and plant millions of trees. This non-profit mission, born from one heart's vision, advocates for universal non-violence and protection for all cultures and creatures. Its full fruition requires everyone's contribution.

Around the world - World peace in your hands
15:00 - 15:03 (3 min)
Recorded on
Peace is in your hands, and inner peace is the foundation for world peace. A practical yoga system was created to address modern life's problems, now practiced globally. This system is an accredited university course and a tool for hospital rehabilitation. The organization is a UN-affiliated non-profit working for human rights, environmental protection, and universal welfare. Humanitarian projects include a large educational institute in India shaped like the Om symbol, a school for handicapped children, and a planned hospital. In drought areas, it provides free fire services and a rainwater harvesting initiative. The founder has initiated international peace summits and a world peace forum, promoting interfaith dialogue for decades. His efforts have been recognized with awards from global leaders for advancing citizens' holistic health. The core message is that personal transformation is essential for global change. "All elements are balanced in a perfect way, and that balancing principle, that is what I call yoga." "Be the change you want to see."

Spiritual message of ancient India
15:25 - 16:29 (64 min)
Recorded on
The essence of spiritual tradition is the living Gurukul, where disciples learn from and support their master. Ancient paths like yoga, Jainism, and Buddhism emphasized pure, strict spiritual practice. Jain monks lived with extreme discipline, walking barefoot, not cooking, and minimizing harm to all creatures. Buddha embodied supreme knowledge, having renounced his kingdom. These traditions, alongside the ancient Sanātana Dharma revived by Śaṅkarācārya, shared a foundation of non-violence and high spiritual ideals. Centers of learning like Nālandā University, with its vast library, were destroyed by invaders who feared this knowledge. The widespread system was the Gurukul, a residential school where students lived with their guru. The true Gurukul is not merely a place but the living master. Being in this presence allows disciples to experience a bliss beyond ordinary yoga classes. This connection provides a tangible touchstone for the spiritual path, which is climbed step by step, reducing suffering and increasing purity each day. The ethical duty is to be compassionate towards the miserable and neutral towards the negative, protecting one's own spirituality. "Buddha means knowledge, all knowledge from past, present, and future." "I am myself Gurukul." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Yoga is endless
16:30 - 17:13 (43 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the infinite connection present in every aspect of existence. Each breath and every cell in the body is a living yoga, a universe itself. The physical body is like the earth, containing the elements of fire, water, air, and space that permeate the entire cosmos. This is the yogic creation. Therefore, yoga is endless and ever-expanding, with no limitation for the yogi. This totality is Śiva, the principle of contraction and expansion present in all beings. The quest is to go within, beyond concepts of religion or country. However, the journey is cyclical. Like ocean waves reaching a beach or water evaporating only to return as rain, beings strive for the endless but are pulled back by attachment. This attachment is a binding rope. Liberation is not about gaining powers from chakras, which exist in every cell. The path involves the guru principle, which is ultimately internal. The practice is to sit, let the self be, and observe the natural breath without force. This is the meditation. "Each and every breath in our body is a yoga." "Attachment is that which will not let us go." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
We have to take one step further
17:00 - 17:47 (47 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. We need more yoga classes and more yoga teachers. We should have yoga classes in every village. We should tell correctly what is yoga and what is spirituality. Swami Gyaneswarpuri is a very good teacher of yoga teacher and he knows Sanskrit very well. MM Vivekpuri is the same. We give more freedom to the yoga teachers but they should remain under the umbrella of Yoga in Daily Life. Vishwaguruji answers some questions putting by the participants of the seminar. Vishwaguruji speaks about the greeting customs in different countries. If others are negative we should be humble kind and positive. We should feel this in our hearts. Little meditation.
The Light of Life and the Path to Liberation
17:15 - 18:08 (53 min)
Recorded on
The light of life is the light of God, and our purpose is to awaken and attain liberation. Human life is a rare and precious opportunity given by God. Our prime duty is to protect all creatures and live with mutual love and understanding. We are travelers in this world; we brought nothing and will take nothing material when we go. Do not waste this life on mere animalistic activities like eating and sleeping, or on gossip and doubt. Spirituality is purity of consciousness, thought, and behavior—tolerance, forgiveness, and love. Search for your own mistakes, not the faults of others. Develop divine qualities within yourself. You must awaken yourself; no one else can do it for you. While you can receive help, you must ultimately stand on your own feet. Dependency on others leads to suffering, but love is unconditional and liberating. God is within you; the highest realization is oneness, where the knower, knowledge, and object become one. Surrender to God, for only with Him can you find true happiness. "Know thyself. If you know yourself, you will know everything. If you do not know yourself, you know nothing." "Lord, I have surrendered my life to you, because only with you can I be happy, even if I have to walk through stones and a thorny path." Filming location: Umag, Croatia DVD 160a
Mahaprabhuji is endless joy
18:10 - 18:29 (19 min)
Recorded on
Worldly joy is brief and paired with sorrow, but divine grace offers an endless refuge. The joy experienced in earthly life is inherently short-lived and is always accompanied by an equal or greater measure of hidden suffering. In contrast, the joy of the divine, embodied in Mahāprabhujī, is limitless. He is a living savior, not just a figure from a text, whose grace provides everything. We possess holy scripture but still face problems because we read without following. Our search for happiness elsewhere is futile. We are like a bird on a ship in a vast ocean; no matter where we try to fly, the only true place of rest is in God. Realizing the bliss in His name makes one truly rich and free, rendering liberation itself a servant. "The joy of the joyous is very short, but the suffering of the joyous is longer." "He can give you everything, but he can’t give you what he can give you." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 183b

Our children are very spiritual
21:35 - 22:28 (53 min)
Recorded on
Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Children are very disciplined during the programs because their parents educated them towards spirituality. Vishwaguruji teaches many generations of yoga people. Sri Devpuriji appeared in some places at the same time. Holiguruji told many stories to Visheówaguruji in his childhood about Devpuriji and Mahaprabuji. Vishwaguruji realized the prediction of Devpuriji. We don't know where the seed will grow. Reading holy books every day new knowledge comes. The story of an Indian man who issued a newspaper in India and travelled with Viwshwaguruji in Europe. Knowledge takes the human healthy and happy. We should give further the knowledge of our forefathers to our children. The first university was in India. There were very many books but Muslims burnt them. God gives eating everybody in the world. Little more information about the first university in the world was in India.
