The value of Satsang
0:00 - 0:45 (45 min)
Recorded on
The great mantra is Hari Om, where Om is Hari and Hari is Om, encompassing the resonance of Brahmā, Śiva, and Viṣṇu. The earth was brought from the cosmic waters and is now sustained upon Śeṣanāga. Ego persists even after long austerity, as shown by the sage Viśvāmitra who sought a title through conflict. He offered 72,000 years of tapasyā to Vasiṣṭha, who offered one minute of satsaṅg in return. To judge which was greater, they were directed to Śeṣanāga, who bears the earth. When asked to relieve his burden for the fruits of the satsaṅg, the earth rose; it did not move for the 72,000 years of tapasyā. Thus, true devotion surpasses prolonged practice. Human life requires sincere sādhanā to purify consciousness and attain liberation. "Are you blind? You don't see the judgment? For one minute of satsaṅg, the whole earth raised up, and when it was 72,000 sādhanās, that was not moving." "If you give pleasant to all... then suk diya, sukha hothe. If you are giving troubles to others, you will also get a trouble." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
There is nothing higher than the Guru
0:50 - 1:33 (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

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. During last year people could practise yoga individually. Meditation without mala and mantra is not good. We should follow our path. There are many paths but all comes together. Every creature have a path and they know that God has given them everything. Our yoga path is very clear. God gave everything to humans but we lost it. God is sitting in us. We should become one with God. We are human but we completely confused and don't know clearly our path. Mantra is very important which is always with us and show our path

Morning Satsang with Vishwaguruji, Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. When you are angry, greedy and jealous it touches the Manipur chakra, and heat rises up. The words of the master help us to overcome some psychological conditions. It is very important to keep the four principles: proper behaviour, a good way of thinking, proper diet, and good actions.
You will be according to what you eat

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
Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 2 - Part 2
4:00 - 5:11 (71 min)
Recorded on
The practice of Yoga in Daily Life continues systematically from Level Two, beginning with relaxation and progressing through specific āsanas and prāṇāyāma. A session starts with three Oṁ chants and deep relaxation in Ānanda Āsana, consciously releasing tension from toes to forehead. The full yoga breath is practiced, coordinating a three-part wave with movement. The āsana sequence includes Meru Pṛṣṭhāsana for spinal flexibility and energy, Catuṣpada Āsana for stretching and organ function, and Cakrāsana for posture and digestion. Each posture is performed with attention to breath, comfort, and the resulting physical and energetic effects. The practice concludes with prāṇāyāma to balance breath channels and a meditation preparation, ending with chants for peace. "Āsana means, except for other meanings, also comfortable. So āsana should be a comfortable position." "After exhalation, try to feel the complete relaxation of all the muscles and the inner peace, and stop all the movements in your body."

Soul is One

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.

Flowing of prana and consciousness
7:20 - 8:26 (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
A guide to practicing mantra
8:30 - 9:15 (45 min)
Recorded on
The mālā is a profound spiritual instrument, not merely a counting tool. Many practice yoga for health or meditation as simple thought, but deeper paths exist like Karma, Bhakti, Jñāna, and Rāja Yoga. The Guru provides a specific mantra and technique to journey inward. The mālā, with its 108 beads including the Sumeru, represents this path. Its numerical system, based on nine and zero, influences consciousness. Hold the mālā near the chest, using the thumb and middle finger to roll beads inward, not outward. The index finger remains separate. Practice corresponds to purifying the five kośas. Tulasī is a sacred plant used in Āyurveda and for mālās, with varieties like Tulasī Dās and Kṛṣṇa Tulasī. Its seeds can alleviate ailments. Rudrākṣa beads are considered the highest medium. The Sumeru bead should allow unimpeded movement. Constant practice with the mālā is essential. "From 5,000 years ago, since the time of the Vedas and Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa, the Vedas brought forth 18 yogas, as found in the Bhagavad Gītā, where every chapter is a yoga." "The mālā is our passport; if lost, we must seek our ambassador or the police. Similarly, we must learn to hold it correctly." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Navel is the centre of our body
9:20 - 10:04 (44 min)
Recorded on
The human body is the temple made by God, containing profound insights and requiring care through pure living and spiritual practice. Within this temple, the divine resides and plays. Our consciousness and soul are of God, though the body is temporary. We must first help ourselves to effectively help others, akin to securing one's oxygen mask before assisting a child. The path to the Cosmic is through the body, ascending step by step. The key point is the navel, the center from which the sound vibration, Nāda, originates and connects us to Parabrahma. This Nāda, synonymous with Om, is the essence. At death, all vibrations return to the navel. True practice involves awakening this resonance from the navel through the chakras, not merely vocalizing in the head. The complete journey of sound moves from the navel to the vocal cords, through the nostrils, and to the crown chakra, leading to samādhi. "One is made by humans. The second temple is that which God made. As I told yesterday, our body is our temple." "Nāda, the sound. Nāda, the form of Parabrahma. That is Parabrahma. That is the sound, Parabrahma, Puruṣottam Bhagavān. That we come to." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Who am I?
10:05 - 10:53 (48 min)
Recorded on
Life is breath, and its duration is pre-written; we cannot ultimately prolong it, though practices can make our time comfortable. Breath is life, present in all creatures. Yoga includes physical exercises and breath techniques for the body, but these are just the beginning. While such practices support well-being, our lifespan is fixed. Even medicine cannot alter the moment the soul departs. A story tells of a rishi who sought endless delays to study, but Dharmaraja finally showed him that the task was as infinite as counting the sands of the Himalayas, illustrating that the appointed time must come. Therefore, we practice to live comfortably within our given span, respecting the five elements within us, and prepare for the journey beyond the body. "Our breath is day and night equally, and it is written how many breaths we will have; then it is finished." "Even God cannot prolong. That’s it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The five elements in the world and in our body
11:00 - 11:54 (54 min)
Recorded on
The union of consciousness and space is the primordial principle. Remember the divine at all times. The sun is a vital divine source. The body's intricate organs, like the lungs spanning a field, sustain life. Earth is a living being teeming with life. The goal is self-realization, to understand one is not the body or mind but the Ātmā. The five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—are living and essential. Space is primary, with consciousness within it. Their union is yoga, the harmony and balance existing before all else. What is called yoga practice is a technique for bodily purification and self-knowledge. All fires, from the digestive to the solar, are to be revered as Agni Dev. The story illustrates that many seek prosperity over the divine. True devotion rises above such attachment. "Yoga is that which unites the consciousness and space." "Without Agni Dev, no world creation is there." Filming location: Fiji Islands
Mind and desires
12:00 - 12:52 (52 min)
Recorded on
A mantra is about controlling the restless mind and its desires to find liberation. The mind is like a football in a game; you cannot hold or control it. Desires are the ball itself. As long as desire exists, the mind cannot be focused or stilled. A story illustrates this: a shepherd, with a guru's guidance, controls a camel through gesture and suggestion, not a physical rope, showing how the mind can be bound by illusion. True freedom requires moving beyond hope and thirst, which are illusions like a mirage. The ultimate goal is knowledge that sees through these reflections. Liberation comes not from killing the body but from ending desire and hope within the mind. "Man marā, nāmamātrī marī, mar mar gayā śarīr, aisā tṛṣṇā nahīṅ gaī, ghe gayā Dasā Kabīr." "Man marā na mamatā marī, marā marā gayā śarīr, āśā tṛṣṇā nahī marī, kehe gayā Dāsa Kabīr." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Holy scriptures like Bhagavad Gita keeps the strength of the words of Saint's. Shabda means not only our words but sounds of all living beings and nature. Good and bad words can change the atmosphere. We have an ocean of words. Mantra practicing and bhajan singing.
Instructions for mantra practicing

Recorded on
The guru's grace and the disciple's receptivity are the sole essentials for spiritual progress. We are all disciples within a lineage, receiving energy and blessings from masters beyond their physical presence. A true guru embodies reality, not mere words. Spiritual practice requires using a personal, clean seat, ideally white, reserved for meditation. This practice is part of a disciplined path leading upward through generations. Liberation comes from balancing the inner elements and transcending bodily identifications. All creatures evolve through forms; the human birth is precious. A story illustrates that a disciple's mind remained attached to a woman he helped, despite no physical touch, showing how mental impressions hinder progress. True devotion requires surrendering all attachments and judgments to the guru's guidance. Practice regularly amidst daily duties, purifying yourself through mantra and remembrance. "Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam—the Gurudeva's blessings. And śiṣya kī ānanda maṅgalam. The disciples have happiness, joy." "When it is said, 'This is,' then forget it, everything else. But don't say, 'This and that,' and, 'I don't want,' and, 'This is not good.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Around The World - Vegetarianism and top sport, Part 1
15:15 - 15:39 (24 min)
Recorded on
Vegetarianism is fully compatible with elite athletic performance when the diet is properly planned. Our primary reason is non-injury, but the diet also supports robust health. A proper vegetarian diet improves health generally, though any diet can be done poorly. For athletes, food must provide energy without causing digestive burden. The foundation is quality, organic ingredients, but cooking method is critical; poor preparation ruins good food. Key components include whole-grain carbohydrates for energy and easily digestible proteins like tofu and legumes. Spices are essential as flavor and medicine; turmeric aids protein absorption and reduces inflammation, while cumin aids legume digestion. Use fresh, hand-ground herbs like oregano and basil to enhance flavor and digestion. Base your diet on traditional, local foods like fava beans for better digestibility. A complete athletic diet includes dairy for vitamins like B12, all vegetables, fruits, healthy fats like olive oil, and ghee for mental and physical energy. This approach breaks the taboo that vegetarians lack strength. "Generally, everyone's health improves if they eat properly in a vegetarian way." "Turmeric also facilitates protein absorption from legumes and helps remove uric acid from the body." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia
Every drop will merge with the ocean
15:45 - 16:32 (47 min)
Recorded on
Devotion manifests through humble service, not through the ego's claim of action. In the story of the bridge, all creatures contributed according to their capacity; the divine's direct intervention sank the stones, teaching that grace flows through surrendered work, not personal ownership. The physical space here is sanctified by the presence of a great guru, whose power remains. His instruction for a shared Guru Pūrṇimā was a direct transmission of grace. The essence of all true teachings is humility and universality. The sun shines for all; possessive identification with "my guru" or "my God" is a limited, human construct. Great beings like Rāma and Jesus exemplified this humility. Spiritual practice aims to merge the individual drop into the ocean of purity, where all impurities are cleansed. The path requires looking beyond immediate obstacles toward the vast horizon of unity. The final test is always compassion, as shown when Yudhiṣṭhira refused heaven without his loyal dog. Our collective sitting in satsaṅg generates this unifying energy, which is the real practice beyond mere technique. "My dear squirrel, my dear squirrel, I love you so much. You also do high work." "If someone gives you a slap on one cheek, you should offer the other also." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
God is in the whole universe

The essential nourishment is direct spiritual experience, not lengthy discourse about it. A starving person collapses while the one holding food describes its origins. Similarly, students grow faint while a teacher lectures about pictures of food. People are now spiritually hungry, confined and tense. In India, during hardship, televised scriptures provided real sustenance. We must offer the food itself, not just talk about it. Many teachers worldwide now provide this direct nourishment in online gatherings where all are hungry. The core need is to feel the sustenance within, beyond language. The sun is one, shining on all countries; similarly, the divine principle is one, manifesting through all forms. Do not worry excessively about worldly troubles like a pandemic; it is part of life's flux. Trust in the inner divine presence. Use prayer and mantra for strength and peace. Spiritual community is the boat that carries us across life's ocean. "One person is very hungry, and we have food for that person right in our hand." "We don't need a language; we need our food that we can feel in our washed stomach." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
God is the giver
17:00 - 17:38 (38 min)
Recorded on
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

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. We should eat less not to be too sleepy. Many people sleep during kryja anusthan meditation. If you eat less your life will be longer and you will be more healthy. Many things changed in the education of children. In the beginning, many people went to yoga in Chechoslovakia. Slowly the whole Yoga in Daily Life system built. Before marrying boys and girls have to eat very sattvic meals to purify her body. Parents should educate their children about spirituality. Young couples would see Jyotish to decide in which constellation would be married. Humans shouldn't kill at all. Up to now, very many people became vegetarian in Europe also.

We have gathered in a beautiful, disciplined seminar, gaining spiritual knowledge and experience. Our global Yoga in Daily Life family practices with humility, kindness, and respect, creating a divine atmosphere together. Spirituality means purity, ahimsa, and inner practices to realize the divine elements within us. It is not about claiming superiority but fostering brotherhood, making our community like one village. We must engage heart-to-heart with the wider world, visiting local shops and sharing fellowship, which is the real yoga of union. As you return home, carry forward this spirit of humility and kindness, sharing the knowledge that we are all one. "If we can teach humanity happiness, joy, respect, and brotherhood, there will be no problems in the world." "Spirituality does not come only from any single teacher. You all bring that divine atmosphere." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
What means non-duality
21:40 - 22:54 (74 min)
Recorded on
True spirituality is found within, beyond surface identities and formal education. It is not about competition or titles but inner humility and direct knowing. A truly spiritual person, like a self-taught saint, embodies wisdom from the heart, not from academic credentials. This knowledge is a gift of consciousness, not an achievement. External success and gatherings are not the measure. The deepest connection is human and familial, especially in life's final moments, which modern life often severs. Spirituality balances mind and heart, uniting us beyond all duality. "Religion is not spiritual. If that is, then humanity is the highest." "My son, mother only that when I will die, in that minute you should be with me." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The beauty of yoga nidra
23:00 - 0:13 (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.
