The holistic path integrates astrology, yoga, and practical living for well-being. The current era presents challenges foretold in scripture. Vedic astrology, based on lunar constellations, precisely maps all life, including human destiny and compatibility. Yoga is a corresponding union, addressing the body and mind through exercise, breath, and relaxation. Correct practice is essential, as suitable methods vary per individual. Various medical systems exist, each with its place. True health requires balanced nourishment, moderation in food and drink, and disciplined practice. Spiritual awareness recognizes the divine gift of human consciousness and choice.
"Jyotiṣ asks, 'What is that which is 100% sure?'"
"Yoga also means union, a constellation of elements."

There is nothing higher than the Guru
0:55 - 1:38 (43 min)
The Guru principle is supreme, greater than all divine forms. Even Rāma and Kṛṣṇa bowed to their gurus. God is one, present in every particle. Yet, to know this, a guru is essential. The guru is not merely a physical body but the living principle of knowledge. All cosmic deities are subordinate to the Satguru. This principle is complete and unchanging, unlike the cyclical full moon. Many seek but few find the true Guru, while the insincere suffer for ages. A true guru can be a householder or a renunciant; the form is secondary to the essence of the teaching.
"Who is greater than Bhagavān Rāma and Kṛṣṇa? They must be guru-keen."
"Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvarāha, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Guru Ve Namaḥa."

Who am I?
1:45 - 2:33 (48 min)
Life is breath, and breath is life. The span of life is preordained and cannot be ultimately prolonged. Physical yoga and breath techniques maintain comfort and health for the body within its allotted time. A story illustrates this: a rishi sought to delay his end by claiming endless study. He was shown that the knowledge of the universe is as vast as the Himalayas, and trying to comprehend it all grain by grain is futile. The appointed time arrives for all. Beyond physical practices lie deeper yogic paths concerning the five elements within us. These practices prepare one for the journey of the soul, which transcends the temporary body.

The ways of Purification
5:10 - 6:13 (63 min)
The mantra provides refuge and purification. Recite it mentally in daily life to invoke divine presence and protection. All five elements purify. Earth absorbs impurity, water blesses, air carries life, fire transforms, and space contains all. These elements cleanse body, mind, and atmosphere. Use pure food, breath, and thought for health. Sattvic diet and pranayama remove inner impurities. Joyful practices like song and dance also elevate the spirit. Purification through elements and discipline leads the soul upward.
"Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Dīpa Nārāyaṇam Haṃsabhādas Prabhu Sārṇaparāyaṇam."

Educate your children spiritualy
6:20 - 7:46 (86 min)
The foundation of practice is discipline in diet and lifestyle to support spiritual awakening. Eating lightly in the evening prevents sleepiness during morning meditation. A cold bath generates heat and dispels laziness, while warm water induces comfort and sleep. The primary principle is to eat only half of one's capacity; this promotes health and longevity. Overeating leads to heaviness, disease, and a shortened life. The body generates ample energy from minimal, pure food. The practice of Sarvahitāsana begins with the parents' intention to have a child, requiring purification through sāttvic food for one to two years prior. Parents' pure nourishment and harmonious union invite a holy soul into the embryo. This practice is for the good of all, fostering health from conception onward. Families should rear their own children with this conscious foundation.
"Eating half is very good, very healthy, and very good for your life."
"Sarvahitāsana begins from when husband and wife, these two couples, want to marry; that time begins for the child."

You will be according to what you eat
7:50 - 8:26 (36 min)
The test of nourishment extends beyond food to all you have received. What you consume shapes your being. True nourishment is judged by the eyes, the heart, the taste, and its digestion. Eat less to truly savor and ease the stomach's work. The body is a mystery; we do not even know our own skin. Many yogis advise: eat less, drink as needed, and meditate more. Modern habits of inactivity and overeating weaken our digestion. Respect the purity of your food and those who prepare it. The essence, ān, is the divine seed within all nourishment, carrying the prāṇa of life. Your habits, formed from what you consume, determine your state. Control these habits from the beginning for a harmonious life.
"Eat less, drink as it is needed, and meditate more."

Be careful and keep a good atmosphere
8:20 - 8:53 (33 min)
A morning ritual establishes purity and presence for the day. Upon waking, declare your human consciousness. Step from bed with reverence for Mother Earth. Begin with pure water, holding it in your palms to acknowledge the divine within it. Apply water to the face five times for physical, mental, and spiritual cleansing. Drink the water, feeling it purify your system, dedicating your life to the divine. The first sight upon waking should be a sacred image or a pure element of nature, setting a harmonious tone. This practice cleanses the residues of night and anger, fostering inner peace that is independent of external events. True yoga is this integrated awareness in every action, recognizing that happiness and unhappiness originate within.
"Where there is water, there is God."
"Happiness and unhappiness are all within ourselves, not from others at all."

What means non-duality
10:05 - 11:19 (74 min)
True spirituality transcends worldly identities and formal knowledge, arising from inner wisdom and humble connection.
Our essence is not found in surface roles like politician or religionist, but within. Spiritual persons are humble and kind, never proclaiming their own greatness. Formal education is a limited, different path. True knowledge, vidyā, emerges from within, not from books. A saint without schooling knew sacred texts by heart, his wisdom flowing from inner realization. Spiritual relationships are like rivers merging into one ocean. We must balance mind and heart, practicing inner discipline. Modern life separates families, but human connection is paramount, especially at life's end. A mother's final wish is for her child to be present, as she was at their birth. This bond is our true foundation.
"Spirituality is there when there is a balance between the mind and the heart."
"My son, I don’t need anything from you... when I will pass away, you should be with me."

Sleeping and Yoga Nidra
11:25 - 12:45 (80 min)
The teacher's duty is to remain alert and protect students, especially during practices like Yoga Nidrā. The heart is the constant engine of life, requiring maintenance through proper sleep and awareness. Sleep is a restorative process where the body and mind normalize. A teacher must never be inattentive; they must watch the environment and students vigilantly, never closing their own eyes carelessly. This alertness is akin to a driver checking all mirrors. Overconfidence in any practice, like swimming, can be fatal. Many teachers err by being lax or giving incorrect guidance, breaking the necessary rhythm and trust. True teaching requires controlling the inner principles and providing correct, confident instruction.
"Your teacher will say, 'Close the eyes.' Who are you to close my eyes?"
"The teacher should be alert. In the schools, at the university, in college, everywhere."

Live as a Yogi
12:50 - 13:26 (36 min)
A yogic life honors the body as divine through natural nourishment and disciplined practice.
Modern disease arises from unnatural living, improper eating, and environmental harm. While doctors are a boon, true health returns to the natural way, like nourishment from a grandmother's kitchen. Constant eating and artificial habits shorten life. Past generations lived long through natural sustenance. The body is our temple and primary religion. One must live with consistency, avoiding contradictions like practicing yoga then consuming harmful substances. Begin each day mindfully, acknowledging our human form and connection to elements like water. The aim is for all to become yogis—healthy, peaceful, and devoted to the living God within this body.
"The best medicine is the kitchen of our grandmothers."
"Our body is our God. It is our holy place."

A Gathering of Hearts
13:30 - 14:55 (85 min)
A gathering reflects the unity and discipline of spiritual practice. The seminar was peaceful, with everyone practicing love and devotion. Organizers worked tirelessly to create this opportunity. Participants came from many places, yet nationality was irrelevant. The focus was on shared humanity. Spirituality means purity, kindness, humbleness, non-violence, and respect. It involves prayer and meditation to purify the inner self. All five elements exist within the body. Life is given to live happily and peacefully. Yoga is union and walking one's own path without competition. It is about bringing human to human through kindness and respect. This creates oneness. The expansion of practice is through humility and friendship, not through claiming superiority.
"Spirituality is purity, kindness, humbleness, ahiṃsā, and respect."
"Yoga is union. What is the union? We are oneness."

How did yoga begin in Czechoslovakia?

Understand the meaning within devotional song. Concentrate not only on the sound but on its significance. Knowing the meaning makes the song a reality within the heart and mind. Initially, many did not understand yoga or these songs. People sang without comprehension, and the songs were sung without their understanding. Authorities were present, monitoring. The practice grew from small groups to hundreds over successive visits. Gatherings were held in simple, natural settings like forest chalets, with shared food and song late into the night. Travel was challenging, with winter journeys involving multiple cars and stops for tea. Official interactions occurred, with visits to police stations for routine checks. Specific rules were given: do not remove or bring in movable wealth, avoid religious discourse, and engage in no politics. These rules aligned with a yogi's natural disinterest in such matters. The focus remained solely on health and well-being through practice, without politics or religion. The atmosphere was one of happiness and relaxation.

Self is happiness
17:15 - 17:53 (38 min)
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect.
"If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere."
"The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision."

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.

Instructions for mantra practicing
21:55 - 22:52 (57 min)
The disciple's joy depends solely on the guru's grace. The guru's blessings are transmitted through a living master or the enduring spiritual presence of the lineage. A true disciple follows the Satguru without question, maintaining a dedicated personal practice. The physical lineage chair represents the eternal guru principle. Spiritual progress requires surrendering worldly attachments and mental fixations, as the story illustrates where avoiding a physical touch fostered a mental obsession. The goal is a merger where all distinctions dissolve. Practice regularly but without neglecting worldly duties.
"Many people may not understand. They think that if their guru is not physically present anymore, they must have some other guru."
"If Gurudev says something and we say, 'No, it is not good,' then we have gone to the other side."

Mind and desires
23:00 - 23:52 (52 min)
A mantra is the mind's tool for liberation. The restless mind cannot be controlled by force, like a football in a game you cannot hold. The essence is to transcend the mind and its desires. A poem states: "The mind has died, but 'mine-ness' has not died; the body dies again and again." Desires are illusions, like a mirage of water on a road that retreats as you approach. Hope and thirst bind you. True knowledge sees the reflection for what it is. The path requires purifying the elements and letting go of desire. "The mind has died, but 'mine-ness' has not died; the body dies again and again." "Hope and thirst have not died, says Dāsa Kabīr."
