The spiritual light is transmitted across generations through practice and sacred texts. Observing the peaceful, attentive children reveals this living transmission. Their composure stems from parents and grandparents who practiced yoga with concentration, meditation, and prayer. This lineage now spans multiple generations in many countries. The teaching of Yoga in Daily Life is for practical living, not a religion. Sacred books like the Līlāmṛta provide ever-new knowledge daily, unlike transient news. Historical libraries like Nālandā were destroyed, burning for months, underscoring the imperative to preserve this spiritual knowledge within families against all loss. This knowledge is a seed that grows into a great tree. Ultimately, faith in the divine, beyond any specific religion, sustains all beings. "From generation to generation we will continue, and this is not only in this country, but in many, many countries around the whole world." "Read the holy book. The next day, again new knowledge is coming. Everything is within them." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Equality is the foundation of spiritual practice. All are equal as practitioners, regardless of external status. The practice of Prāṇāyāma purifies and balances the system. Sit straight and relaxed, maintaining awareness of the body and breath. Begin by inhaling and exhaling fifteen times through the left nostril, using the right hand to close the right nostril. Then, close the left nostril and breathe fifteen times through the right. This completes one round. Practice alternate nostril breathing: inhale left, exhale right; then inhale right, exhale left. Perform several rounds. Follow the breath from the navel to the crown chakra and back. Conclude with Brahmrī prāṇāyāma, inhaling deeply and creating a humming sound with fingers gently closing the ears. Observe the internal vibration and balance. "In yoga and life, people are very equal." "We inhale and exhale. Prāṇa is everywhere." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Pure nourishment is essential for spiritual and physical health. Traditional foods and methods are superior. Begin meals with natural sweets like cane sugar or jaggery for good digestion. Consume a variety of raw nuts, prepared by hand to preserve oils. Pure ghee from specific cows is highly beneficial. For expectant mothers, special organic foods ensure a strong child and mother. Modern processed foods and hospital practices are inadequate. Manuka honey is recommended for its purity. Eating meat creates karmic debt, requiring rebirth as those animals. Adopt a clean, vegetarian diet for one year with practices like Śaṅkaprakṣālana to purify the body. This clarity leads to health and spiritual progress.

The present moment is the only reality. The past is completely gone and holds nothing for us now. The future remains unknown and is not within our control. Therefore, dwelling on what has been or what might be is unnecessary. We are here, now, in this holy place where many have gathered and many saints have walked. Our focus must be on being peaceful, alert, and harmonious in this instant. Life is meant to be lived softly and sweetly, in oneness with all, without creating hardness or bitterness. Love and care for the body is the first step, practicing with comfort and adaptability rather than rigid torture. This present awareness and good practice is our lifelong sādhanā. "The past is past. Even the very beginning of one second is already gone." "Life becomes soft. And the soft is so tasteful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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." "What you will eat, like that you will be."

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." "Where there is water, there is God. And where there is God, there is water." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The human body is the temple of God. This temple must be kept clean, harmonious, and beautiful. We should offer salutation upon waking, giving thanks and receiving blessings. Our soul resides within this temple, so we must go within to find clarity, peace, and love. The divine is within you; do not seek it elsewhere. The individual self is like a single drop containing the whole ocean. Respect and care for your body, for if the inner temple is not clean and happy, one cannot find joy. Purify yourself upon waking and before sleep to awaken energy and release stress. Maintain purity by avoiding impure foods and substances. Simple practices, like applying a little oil, can bring health and calm. "Therefore, we humans are the temple of God. We should keep that temple very clean and beautiful, shining." "God said, 'I am in you.' Your Jīvātmā, that is my God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sādhanā is the disciplined practice for self-realization, affecting one's entire lineage. Time dedicated to personal development is invaluable and cannot be bought. This practice requires withdrawing the senses and making the mind peaceful to see what is stored within the unconscious. A strict, traditional anuṣṭhāna with fasting and silence is challenging but necessary to profoundly affect one's reality. The true practice is integrating awareness into every smallest action of daily life. Maintaining a harmonious mind regardless of external circumstances is the hardest and best practice. Everything consumed—food, drink, and air—directly shapes the body, mind, and energy. Impurities in nourishment or blockages in prāṇa flow, such as from synthetic clothing, create physical and energetic disharmony. Liberation is an incremental process built through daily discipline, not a sudden event. "Swāmījī said one thing: the hardest abhyāsa and the best abhyāsa is to keep your mind always in a happy, harmonized state." "If one in your paramparā gets this self-realization, then seven generations after you and seven generations before you, they get liberated." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

The first thought upon waking and the first step taken set the tone for the day. Upon waking, observe which nostril has dominant airflow. If the left nostril flows more, step out with the right foot. If the right flows more, step out with the left foot. If both are equal, stand with both feet. The initial conscious thought should be, "I am human," implying a duty to think rightly and avoid harming others. The body is a vehicle like a car or airplane, and the Self is the alert driver within it. One must become awakened and conscious in all actions. This practice integrates yoga into daily life, moving beyond mere physical postures. "First, we should know when we wake up. Inhale, exhale from your nostrils. Where is more air coming?" "When we open our eyes, we should think, 'I am human.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Guru is the supreme principle encompassing and transcending all. The Guru is Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, yet exists above this trinity. This truth is chanted to affirm that the divine witness is always present. Meditation's root is the Guru's form, meaning one should concentrate on the divine essence within, not the physical body. Worship's root is the Guru's feet, representing reverence for the foundation from which all guidance arises. The mantra's root is the Guru's word, for speech holds immense power for liberation or bondage. Liberation's root is the Guru's grace alone. Therefore, see the Guru in all steps and in all forms, moving beyond attachment to the physical. "Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Guruve Namaḥ." "Dhyāna Mūlam Guru Mūrti, Pūjā Mūlam Guru Padam, Mantra Mūlam Guru Vākyam, Mokṣa Mūlam Guru Kṛpā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

First Vishwagurujis visit to Romania.

A new ashram opens to teach the universal path of yoga, a science of body, mind, and soul for inner peace and health. This place was prepared over many years by volunteers spreading authentic yoga, not as a business. Yoga is an ancient universal science of balance and harmony originating with Śiva, beyond any single religion. It is a tool for modern life, where one must find willpower and time for practice amidst societal haste. The practice requires careful, daily effort without competition, adaptable for all ages and conditions. Its ultimate aim is to realize one's relation with the Supreme, fostering health, peace, and universal brotherhood. The future depends on educating children in this spiritual knowledge. "Yoga is universal. So I see your centers... as centers of universal brotherhood." "Yoga means balance, harmony, and unity." Filming location: Slovenia

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The sun appears to sleep but is always present, just as the awakened yogi rests in yoga nidrā. The body sleeps, but awareness remains awake, serving all beings through the constant breath. This conscious sleep is not laziness but devotion. The soul is bound by attachment to worldly things—people, possessions, and desires—which form the cage of saṃsāra. True yoga is not merely physical postures but the movement toward complete inner freedom, releasing these attachments to realize oneness. The goal is to be asleep yet awake, bound yet free, moving from attachment to detachment. "Great saints or gurus are never sleeping, and they are not only for one person but for the whole, for all." "In that bound state are our feelings, our whole body. We are bounded by many, many things." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Meditation is the practice of turning inward to answer life's fundamental questions and realize one's divine nature. Humans possess a higher purpose beyond basic animal functions. One must regularly ask: What does it mean to be human? What good qualities define humanity? What is my life's mission? Modern life often lacks this ethical education, leading to depression and aimlessness. Meditation provides answers, motivation, and a direct connection to the self. It reduces stress, recharges energy, and clarifies one's situation. The technique requires proper posture, a personal mantra, and a meditation shawl for protection and focus. By withdrawing the senses and observing the breath, one accesses inner peace and cosmic energy. "Meditation is an answer to thyself. All thy questions, the meditation will give the answers." "Meditation is a way to thyself, means to God. It doesn’t matter which God you believe... Only one thing remains: divine love." Filming location: Bratislava, Slovakia

Good evening. We had a beautiful day of practice. Tomorrow, you will have a free half-day after breakfast to walk in the forest in groups. Otherwise, do your own exercises. Integrate the lectures and practices into your heart and mind. The trees here give great energy; breathe deeply. The food here contains prāṇa. We should eat food that makes the body healthy, happy, and pure. Our gathering is limited in size, but it allows a relaxed feeling without daily chores. A study was shared involving over 7,000 participants across six countries. It found those on plant-based diets at least one year prior had less severe COVID-19 outcomes. This shows vegetarianism is good for health, the environment, and humanity. True yoga practice includes a vegetarian diet, avoiding alcohol and meat, fostering peace and love for all creatures.

The power of Śabda, or word-sound, is fundamental. We follow guidance during difficult times, maintaining practice and positivity while awaiting collective freedom. Yoga is a spiritual life of continuous learning, progressing inward through āsana, mantra, and meditation toward unity. All religions and sounds are expressions of the one divine. Śabda is a potent force like an arrow, emanating from the heart; our words, whether sweet or harsh, shape reality. We must choose words wisely, control the tongue, and absorb only beneficial sounds. Consider the power of a single word from your heart today. "Śabda is so powerful. If you tell some good word... And if there is a wrong word... Same tongue, same mouth, same person, same energy. But how is the difference in these words?" "Śabda is like an arrow... If we want to tell something hard, hard words to somebody, it’s coming as an arrow out from our heart."

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.

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."
