You are great but remain on the path
1:00 - 1:53 (53 min)
The living guru and true path are found within an authentic lineage, not through blind faith or exploitation. Modern science connects us physically, but only genuine spiritual transmission guides the soul beyond death. Many teachers and paths exist, each like a mother to her child, yet the root parampara is essential. Discernment is required, as some promise false powers or exploit faith with rituals. True practice involves a pure lifestyle and steady discipline, not mere claims. The breath's exhalation represents the enduring power; life continues beyond this body.

Wherever you are Gurudev is with you
2:00 - 2:54 (54 min)
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."

The Nabhi
3:00 - 3:55 (55 min)
The many paths of yoga converge like rivers into one ocean. Respect all ways of practice. The science of yoga is vast, yet we must understand our own body. The navel, or Nābhi, is the root. A problem there affects the whole system. To progress, one must bring the body under control through proper diet and awareness. Overweight individuals should eat lightly, focusing on salads and seeds, to achieve balance over time. Practice feeling the movement and vibration at the navel. This awareness is the foundation for meditation and self-knowledge. True practice begins from this root, balancing the physical to access deeper states. The sound of OM originates from the navel, rising through the channels to the crown. Balance in the body leads to balance in consciousness.
"Yoga is yoga, but which kind of yoga? It is like this gathering: some have come from the East, some from the West, and all who have come via different paths have seen many different things."
"The navel is the root. Everything is there. When there is a problem with the navel, the whole body will die."

The Path of Sarvahita: Yoga, Health, and Resilience
4:50 - 5:40 (50 min)
The path of Sarvahita integrates yoga into daily life for holistic health and resilience. Illness can emerge from imbalances in nature and human consumption. Personal discipline through diet, fasting, and consistent yoga practice supports the body's recovery and strength. The nervous system is a vast network connecting every part of the body. Specific exercises and breathwork circulate energy and aid healing. This practice, Sarvahita Yoga, serves the entire body—muscles, nerves, and cells—promoting lasting vitality. It is not for a time but for life, sustaining one through challenges. True health unites body, mind, and inner energy.
"One can also practice some of the services, and slowly, slowly, he will come back healthy again."
"Sarvahita means for our health, our good—our good for everything, for our body, our mind, our concentration."

We are a part of God
5:45 - 6:55 (70 min)
Yoga is one unified path, though taught under many names. It extends far beyond physical postures to encompass the entire life force and consciousness. The practice integrates all aspects of nature, as seen in the 84 traditional āsanas inspired by animals and elements. This discipline is lifelong, like the breath itself, and aims to balance the body's five principles with nature. The ultimate goal is for the individual soul, or jīva, to realize its divine nature and ascend to the highest cosmic consciousness, ending the cycle of rebirth among the 8.4 million life forms. While worldly knowledge progresses outwardly, the yogi's path is an inward journey to the Self. All creatures possess the will to live, and humans must recognize the divine Ātmā within themselves and all beings, moving from identifying with the limited drop to merging with the boundless ocean.
"Yoga is not only physical, for the physical body, or just breath and concentration, etc. Yoga is very far-reaching."

Power of our words
8:30 - 9:21 (51 min)
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."

We should unite with the Supreme
8:40 - 8:59 (19 min)
We are all like a drop of water seeking to merge with the ocean. Life is a process of growth in time, from childhood onward, yet our individual journeys are temporary. We desire to achieve the goal of oneness with the cosmic reality, to end the cycle of return. This longing is like a single drop wishing to join the vast ocean; upon merging, the separate self is gone. Our familial and social attachments are not permanent, as each soul must ultimately walk its own path toward that dissolution into the One, the ātmā.
"One drop is just in the palm of our heart, and the ocean is so big. And now, this drop wants to say, 'I want to go to my water, my ocean.'"
"Your father and your mother and your brother and your friends... are not forever. Again, we have to walk on our path."

Vegetarian kitchen in praxis (part 1)
9:00 - 9:53 (53 min)
Vegetarianism is presented as the optimal path for health, mental performance, and planetary survival. Animal foods lack protective antioxidants and amplify environmental toxins. Cooking meat creates harmful free radicals. Dairy consumption correlates with higher osteoporosis rates, a calcium paradox. Scientific consensus now confirms plant proteins are sufficiently digestible, even for children, eliminating past concerns. The average protein intake greatly exceeds requirements; plant sources alone provide adequacy.
Practical cooking focuses on making vegetarian food appealing using familiar spices and meat substitutes. Smoked tofu can replace smoked meats in dishes. Seitan, made from wheat gluten, can be prepared as strips or rolls to provide a expected "piece of meat" on the plate. For flavor, fry tofu or seitan to create a crust, then marinate in sauces like tomato with herbs or ginger with soy sauce. Dry-roasting spices in oil unlocks their flavor. Pressing tofu removes water for better flavor absorption. Boiling dry soy chunks removes bitter oligosaccharides before use.
"Foods of animal origin do not contain antioxidants."
"The actual protein requirement is about 50 grams. If we excluded all animal foods and ate only plant-based, we would still receive sufficient protein."

What does Holiness mean
10:00 - 11:07 (67 min)
Life is a spiritual education guided by a greater plan, not by our own designs.
We are not the bosses of our life but artists in a divine play, receiving roles for this lifetime. We are one family moving through lives and places, developing spiritually. Education has two wings: material knowledge for living in the world and spiritual knowledge concerning our origin, purpose, and aim. With only one, we are a bird that cannot fly. The arrival of a great saint brought spiritual guidance, changing everything. This guidance manifests in communities, like the growth of vegetarianism and yoga centers. There are no coincidences; even childhood inclinations align with later spiritual work. When we listen to the Guru's guidance, we are steered past life's obstacles. Our relationship with the Guru is paramount. He gives completely, living for others, which is holiness. Our spiritual practice involves giving—knowledge, service, kindness—which in turn brings growth. The purpose of all yoga activity is spiritual growth, achieved through mindfulness of our inner thoughts and actions. We are to walk step by step, holding the hand of the Master, who leads us to our destination.
"Life is education."
"If we get only one education and not both, we are like a bird with only one wing. We cannot fly."

Control your energy and mind
11:15 - 12:18 (63 min)
The human journey is governed by the five sheaths and the balancing principles of sun and moon. A person should be like a tree, giving shade and fruit to all. The special feature is the living Master, present for everyone. Life involves 8.4 million creatures, with humans possessing higher intelligence for discerning good. The restless mind is governed by the moon's principle, connected to water and movement, while the stable sun resides within the heart. One must balance these energies, particularly through left nostril breathing. The soul descends through stages to eventually inhabit a human form. The purpose is to progress through the five sheaths: the physical body, the energy body, the mental sheath, the sheath of knowledge, and finally bliss. All problems originate in the uncontrolled mind. The primary duty is to care for the physical vessel so the soul may progress. Control the mind and all problems are resolved.
"O human, control the mind."

Atma is one and body is different
12:25 - 13:18 (53 min)
All spiritual paths and centers, rooted in Indian concepts like dharma, are valid worldwide. We must respect every school and not claim exclusivity. Just as many children in a village each have their own family and name, yet all are children, so do various yoga traditions have their own names and forms. They all share the same essence. The goal is oneness. A guru's value is not in the number of disciples but in their knowledge. We are like drops from one vast ocean; though separate, our essence is the same divine source. All humans and creatures contain that divine essence. We must look within to realize our true nature as the cosmic self. Do not compare or denigrate other paths. All lead to the same truth, just as all children return to their homes.
"One should not say, 'Only mine, that's all.'"

Guru gives us the good path
13:25 - 14:03 (38 min)
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."

Past is gone future is not here yet
14:10 - 14:54 (44 min)
The path is to be present, letting go of past and future.
You have practiced and received knowledge. Our way is to be relaxed and normal, not straining or focusing oddly. What we seek is to know the Self. We follow a given path but must understand it ourselves. We are human with knowledge, yet we do not know what comes after this life. Do not dwell on the past; it is gone like an exhale. We often live in memories or future thoughts, not in the present. Suffering in the present will not last. We must come into our heart and thoughts to be one. Forget the past; your future path will be good. What you have now is here; do not lose it by grasping for more.
"Do not meditate and concentrate on what is gone; learning is gone."

All spiritual paths are one, despite different names and forms. This unity is seen in families where each member has a name, yet the family is one. Similarly, every yoga center and religion, though named differently, converges on the same truth. Just as children in a kindergarten are all beautiful, all spiritual endeavors are good. The human soul is one, despite variations in body or color. Life is like water: individual drops from clouds or rivers ultimately return to and merge with the ocean. Maintaining distinct traditions and knowing one's roots creates harmony, while excessive mixing without understanding leads to confusion. Respect all paths and see the single reality within all forms.
"Yoga is only one yoga; we simply have different names."
"Water is water. It may be in the clouds, in the ocean... but one fine drop comes together with others... and finally returns to the ocean."

Keep your inner temple clean
16:20 - 16:57 (37 min)
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."

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."

Webcast from Vienna
17:40 - 18:22 (42 min)
Dharma is eternal righteous conduct for all beings, upholding universal benefit. We live in Kali Yuga, an age where adharma is strong. Śiva maintains cosmic balance, gradually transforming all beings toward Dharma. All life feels pain; lacking compassion halts progress and brings consequences. The principle of non-harm is significant, extending beyond pets to all creatures. Humans must practice restraint, not follow the example of animals in a free life. Tapasya, or austerity, is necessary; overconsumption and impurity from chemicals lead to sickness. True health requires pure elements, like clean water, and a prayer for a good life leading to liberation from cyclic existence. Meditation focuses on the subtle body. The Vajranāḍī is a central channel; knowing it brings health. Practices like Brahmrī, connected to the navel and Sahasrāra, align this energy. All paths and teachers should be respected, fostering unity rather than division.
"Dharma is Dharma. It is not a selective principle; it is for all lives, without exception."
"As long as we lack compassion in our hearts, we will not progress."

Sleeping and Yoga Nidra
18:30 - 19:50 (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."

Shiva tried to give immortality to Parvati
19:55 - 20:41 (46 min)
The divine union of Śiva and Śakti is the fundamental cosmic principle. All beings originate from the Cosmic, with the soul or God within. The inner self, the Ātmā, is equal in all, male or female. Historically, women were denied spiritual respect, but now equality is recognized. The teaching "Mātṛ Devo Bhava" establishes the mother as the first object of reverence, followed by the father, teacher, and guru. Creation requires both masculine and feminine principles. Śiva, initially whole, contains Śakti within, manifesting as the androgynous Ardhanārīśvara. A story illustrates their inseparability: when the goddess Satī died, Śiva carried her body in grief. To restore cosmic balance, Viṣṇu used the Sudarśana Cakra to dismember the form, creating the sacred Śakti Pīṭhas. Later, Pārvatī sought immortality from Śiva through a night-long mantra, but she fell asleep, and a parrot overheard the secret. This unity exists within each person; husband and wife should be one as Śiva and Śakti are one. Practice purity and non-violence, recognizing the divine in all. Worship leads to the cosmic; otherwise, one remains unfulfilled.

Pranayama calms down the emotions
22:00 - 23:01 (61 min)
Yoga requires strict discipline and practice to succeed. Announcements are made, but discipline is not followed. Special seating should not exist; everyone should rotate. Sannyāsīs are not exempt and must also work, like cleaning the garden. Work with the earth is essential for health and is a form of worship, yet many avoid it. Obsessive cleaning wastes water. Artificial nail coatings are harmful chemicals. The body is primary, and we have damaged it by distancing ourselves from nature. The ashram's pure environment supports health. Food that tastes good is often unhealthy, and vice versa, as the body's organs struggle with poor nourishment. Yoga integrates diet, exercise, and connection with nature, like tending a tree. Discipline in eating less improves meditation and practice. The recent group meditation was deep and successful. Practice must always begin with the left nostril, the lunar channel governing mind and emotion, to avoid imbalance and harm. Negative emotions like anger primarily damage oneself. Instructions must be checked for correctness. Those with physical limitations should have proper seating. The body is a temple and practice should be comfortable, not torturous.
