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.

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.

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

A morning yoga practice guides the body and breath toward relaxation and awareness. Begin by lying down, consciously relaxing each part of the body from the toes to the head. Observe the natural breath, then consciously deepen it into a full yogic wave moving from abdomen to chest. Coordinate simple stretches with inhalation and exhalation, feeling tension and release. Progress through poses that stretch the spine diagonally and twist it, always keeping the lower back close to the floor. Move into seated postures for flexion and extension of the spine, coordinating each movement with the breath. Conclude with deep relaxation, breath awareness, and a simple prāṇāyāma technique. "Feel your body becoming heavier with each exhalation." "Harmonize your movement with your breath." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The spiritual path requires following a true guide through the transitional age. We are in Kali Yuga, a dark age nearing its end. Śiva balances all forces, working to harmonize and avert disaster, guiding beings toward a coming Satya Yuga of holiness. The true guru, like a mother, provides the correct path and blessings. You must follow that given path without distraction or switching guides. Many techniques exist, from physical science to spiritual discipleship. Karma yoga involves understanding all actions and life circumstances. Jyotiṣ, the science of astrology, is presented as a critical knowledge revealing the timing of all events, including one's death. The key is to go deeply, beyond mere physical practice, and stay on the assigned path toward oneness. "Śiva is giving blessings and controlling everything for all: the ṛṣis, the yogīs, the spiritual ones, and also others." "So without jyotiṣ, no one can go further."

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 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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The inner pilot is the consciousness that must master the body and mind. The body is like an aeroplane carrying many elements; the pilot resides between the eyebrows, guiding concentration to the crown. Mastery requires flying alone, relying solely on inner instruments. The essential power lies in the spinal channel, the Vajranāḍī, which governs the entire system. Without controlling this, nothing is achieved. External practices and powers are demonstrated, like sitting in fire, but these are not the core. True yoga is not merely postures; it is becoming the Brahman through inner control. This path is not easy and demands unwavering inner strength. "The pilot resides between our eyebrows. From there, concentration goes directly to the Sahasrāra Chakra." "If the Vajranāḍī is not controlled, nothing else matters; whatever you do is nothing." 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

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

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 spiritual path requires a defined practice to avoid being lost. Separation from the herd occurs without a mantra or mala for guidance. Many religions and paths exist, each valid for its followers. Ultimately, all paths converge like individual raindrops forming a stream that reaches the ocean. Every creature, from humans to ants, possesses innate, God-given knowledge of its way. The human form offers a unique awareness of the journey. Yoga transcends physical exercise; it is a clear path requiring the foundational guidance of a mantra from the Guru to know how to proceed. "Suddenly, with no mantra, no mālā, they are lost. It is like one deer separated from the herd, running here and there, finding nothing." "All comes together, like when rain comes from the clouds. There is one drop of water, so all is one drop by drop." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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 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."

A divine call initiates the search for a true guru. A vision of Śrī Kṛṣṇa repeatedly requests kheer, compelling its preparation for a visiting saint's gathering. At that satsaṅg, the saint addresses a devotee by name, revealing profound awareness. When asked if one has a guru, the answer emerges from the heart: one is seeking a true guru. Following given addresses leads to an ashram in India. There, a phrase is heard in sleep: "There is nothing in the jīva, but go to the nitya." Travel continues to another ashram to meet the holy guru. An overwhelming energy is received upon meeting. A book is offered, and through grace, the ability to read Hindi is granted. Mantra-dīkṣā is received on a Thursday after offering fruit. Disregarding advice on travel days leads to immediate difficulties, demonstrating the importance of the guru's word. Returning home brings incessant tears and a longing for the ashram. The guru's loving permission allows return. Translations of sacred texts are undertaken as service, a gift enabled by the guru. Further travels and stays in ashrams follow, filled with divine experiences, protective grace, and deep seva. The guru's presence is ultimately felt permanently within the heart.

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."

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

Adopt the way of the tree to become free from worldly cares. The tree gives fruit to all without hatred or adoration, enduring storms, frost, and heat while providing shelter. Likewise, attain an unceasing state by lovingly meditating on the Lord and continually repeating His divine name for salvation. Let His feet remain in your heart to find the nectar of devotion. We are not the doers; the Supreme is the sole agent. All action, from birth until the last breath, is given by that One. We must be humble, peaceful, and happy, recognizing we are like children or a bird that must stay on the boat, the path, and not fly off alone. "To those who hurl stones with force, it yields fruits with no touch of remorse." "Nāhaṁ kartā, I am not the doer." 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

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 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."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. We enjoy our bodies and our sadhana also. Here are very beautiful trees and we are like children of that trees. Our mother earth has beautiful hair which is the grass. To touch the earth without socks is very healthy. Think over what did we do on the last day. We can take a tilak to our forehead and eat a very little sweet. Sweet means speak and think sweet. Our eyes can't see each other. The story about brothers and sisters. Anuloma viloma pranayama balances our mind. Eyes are the sisters and the nostrils are the brothers. Enjoy your life and do and think good. Beauty comes from inside. be thankful for God to live your beautiful life.

Karma connects all life, seen and unseen. It is not only for humans but for every creature, tree, and stone. Our actions and experiences are intertwined through karmic bonds we may not understand. A creature dies suddenly on the road; we feel a connection. A tree lives for thousands of years, rooted through seasons, yet its leaves scatter on the wind, and its life can end from unseen forces within, like insects drawn by piled bark. Even a stone has life, becoming dust, then part of a body again. Time is nothing, yet it brings all things. Therefore, we must act with goodness. Do not give negativity; bring good again. Help others, as one man helped a beaten stranger. We should not fight or speak ill, for we are human. All life—trees, animals, grass—is our mother and father, giving us sustenance. We must protect it, not needlessly destroy. Our current way, cutting vast forests for profit, shows humans are not good. Yet, we can choose differently. Do good for all. "Karma is in everything." "Time is nothing, time is nothing. Wait, wait, but it means that time comes." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Guru is the supreme principle, the complete source of all knowledge and the path. The Guru is above Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. This principle manifests in many forms. Anyone who imparts knowledge is a guru, from parents to teachers. The true Satguru does not proclaim the title; it is recognized. The lineage flows from Śiva through successive teachers. A successor is given the duty, chair, and staff to serve all impartially. Renunciation means leaving family attachment to serve everyone equally. The Guru's guidance is a key; discarding it leads one astray. The full moon of Guru Pūrṇimā symbolizes this completeness. One worships the Guru principle, which remains present beyond the physical form. The duty is to help all who come near. "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt Para Brahma." "The duty is to accept, respect, and give all who come near everything that they need." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
