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." "Your soul, your ātmā in you is your God." Filming location: Slovenia

The essence of spiritual attainment rests solely upon the Satguru's grace. Without the Satguru, no task is accomplished. However many millions of methods one may try, one cannot cross the ocean of worldly existence. Pilgrimages, fasts, and penances are insufficient without the Guru's knowledge. The true wealth is the worship of the Guru. Liberation comes only through surrender of body and mind. The Satguru's blessing is an eternal rain that nourishes devotion where divine efforts fall short. Spiritual practice requires the direct transmission from a true master. Satsang is communion with truth. Modern external gatherings often become distractions, lacking the authentic vibration found only in a genuine lineage. Yoga is universal but must be rooted in the knowledge given by a realized guru from an unbroken tradition. "Without the Satguru, no work is accomplished." "Surrender body and mind before the Guru."

The second step is moving forward from fear with a strong heart through yoga's power. Practice the techniques and be strong. The best meditation is deep, alert sleep, which can become the powerful Yoga Nidrā. Make a firm resolve and walk steadily toward the goal without giving up. Be active in service, cleaning, and working together within the community. This collective work builds a strong foundation. True strength and guidance come from the Guru's grace, which is essential for crossing the ocean of worldly life and attaining liberation. "The best meditation: go to sleep now. Yes, the best meditation." "Without Guru, we cannot know meditation. Without Guru, we cannot do pūjā. Without Guru Kṛpā, we have no mukti." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Morning practising. Fifth level of the System" Yoga in Daily Life" from Mahaprabhudeep Ashram, Strilky, Czech Republic on 9th of July 2010.

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. "Shiva and Shakti are one in ourselves, in our body." "Matri Devo Bhava, first God, is taken as the mother."

Being a student provides a transformative perspective, seeing the Divine behind outer life. This knowledge frees one from being trapped by external conditions. Practice is both inward and an outward service to others. Chanting mantras with intention generates a powerful vibration that reaches and helps the world. The community remained unafraid, trusting the divine power that radiates outward when lived. Obstacles arise for learning, to be observed and dissolved. The current age is one of pain and difficulty, affecting all life. The pandemic stems from collective human pain, modern chemicals, and the treatment of animals, returning as karmic consequence. True health comes from disciplined living, proper diet, and the integration of yoga into daily life, not from harmful consumption. The Self, the Ātman within, is God. Meditation is returning to this inner Self, not seeking outside. One must be alert, for the body is a temporary home; only the soul is eternal. "Perhaps we have had a little more time for introspection and our practices." "I believe this illness has come from the pain, and we have created all of this." Filming location: Austria

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. "Yoga is successful only if you have discipline." "Yoga will be successful through your karma yoga." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Life's changing states are like waves upon the permanent ocean. Outward confidence often masks inner uncertainty. True peace arises from surrendering the sense of personal doing. The mala is a vital support for practice, preventing mental distraction. The core instruction is to depend entirely upon the divine, not the self. In meditation, concentrate on the breath moving between the navel and the crown. Maintain physical stillness while following this internal energy. "Whether I will pass or not, it doesn’t matter. That one is very best and good." "Nāhaṁ kartā... I cannot do this. I don't do that. Mahāprabhujī is the doer." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Cherkasy Ashram, Ukraine. We have many duties in the world. It's important to give the children culture and a good education. They should not go into bad society, they should become wise. One day the soul will leave behind the physical body. The karma and destiny will go with us. We are searching for the Master today. You can learn from different masters but can have only one Guru. Do not expect miracles.

The full moon brings immense power, sweetness to vegetation, and calmness through fasting. Fasting balances health and emotions, and is observed with a saṅkalpa, a vow directed to the Divine Mother or Śaktis, who possess great destructive power. During Navarātrī, a nine-night fast with milk and fruits is kept for energy and protection, often for blessings like a good spouse. Observance requires discipline, such as avoiding specific foods, and these vows must be kept to maintain the marital bond. The moon's energy purifies; offerings like milk left under its light absorb protection and promote good thoughts. Full moons mark powerful periods for incarnations and prayers for ancestors' liberation. Our reality is shaped by faith and observance, not by seeing the moon, as its influence is constant. Heaven and hell are internal states of the heart, and we must avoid cursing, as it returns. "The moon has more power than the sun in this regard, and it is closer to us on our earth than any other stars or planets." "Hell is nowhere, and heaven is nowhere. When it is here, it is in your heart." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

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.'" "Holy Gurujī said, 'I have only one āśram, and that's our body.'"

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. "Next to God is the doctor." "Exhalation is forever." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

Monday is Śiva's day, a key time for fasting and discipline. Our lives are governed by the sun, moon, and stars. The moon is Śiva. Monday begins our week. Different cultures have made different days holy or free, often losing the original discipline. We have lost the strict traditions of fasting found in other faiths. Fasting is not merely for spirituality but to give the body a complete rest. True discipline means consuming nothing—no food or water. We should adopt this for our health. Eating less gives more energy; eating too much makes us lazy. Practice this discipline slowly. Commit to fasting on Monday for Kriyā practitioners. Follow the rules of your practice precisely. "Fasting is not only for spirituality or God, but we should give the body one day completely free. That is very important." "When you fast... If you want to really keep the fast like Muslims, then do not drink or eat anything—no ice cream, no chocolate, and also no water." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Dīvālī commemorates the return of Bhagavān Rām to Ayodhyā. The celebration originates from that event. When the message of his return came, people traveled great distances. As night fell, villagers lit oil lamps to light the path. They decorated trees with food and hung lights. Everyone arrived singing and dancing, without tiredness. The reunion was marked by heartfelt embraces. The following day is for giving gifts and blessings, symbolizing generosity and shared sustenance. The festival of lights represents the inner light of the heart and spiritual love. "People lit oil lamps so those walking would have a path to follow." "When you hug someone, your heart and the other’s heart should meet, heart to heart." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

This is a gentle yoga sequence for menstrual well-being. We begin with relaxation and full yogic breath to harmonize body and mind. Specific postures target the pelvic area and lower back. The first exercise involves bringing one knee to the chest, then extending the leg, performed slowly and consciously. This is followed by Marjari, the cat pose, to create a supple back. We then practice hip-opening postures like the half and full butterfly. A key squatting pose is emphasized for menstrual issues, grounding, and leg strength. We proceed to Setu Āsana, the bridge, to strengthen the lower body. A final side-lying balance pose benefits the lower abdomen. Conclude by feeling the effects of the practice. "This exercise is especially good for menstrual problems, and also beneficial for the lower back, constipation, and hips." "This pose is especially good for women... for irregular menstruation, or for heavy bleeding between periods."

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." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Morning satsang with Vishaguruji from Rijeka, Croatia. Karma yoga is the best yoga. How should we begin our day? Live happy healthy. Feel that I am a human so I don't harm any creatures. We search for God everywhere but we never look within ourselves. We should do our yoga practice regularly day by day. Vajra nadi is the base of our life. Practising bhramari pranayama.

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

A gentle yoga practice integrates postures, breath, and awareness of the subtle energy channels. Begin by lying on the stomach, placing the elbows down with care. Slowly sit up into a kneeling posture, sitting on the heels with hands on the thighs. The body contains many energy channels, or nāḍīs, with three primary ones: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. A central channel is the Vajra Nāḍī, a source of immense power for the whole body, related to the area between the toes. Practice involves specific postures like kneeling backbends and seated forward folds, coordinating movement with breath. The practice of Sarvahitāsana benefits all systems of the body. Conclude with listening practices and Brahmrī Prāṇāyāma to cultivate inner balance and self-awareness through sound. Regular, simple practice leads to ease. "There is one nāḍī. You know the word nāḍīs—the nerves." "This Sarvahitāsana, for example, myself—every day, two and a half hours, I am practicing that." Filming location: Slovenia

Karma yoga is the path of selfless service, the essence of spiritual practice. We gather in nature for sādhana, observing the world's beauty and ceremonies. The groups include those dedicated to seva, the karma yogīs. This practice is found in all religions, like nuns serving the poor, for God resides in everyone. Service is not only grand donations; it is the simple, mindful act of helping. Even in traffic, allowing another driver to pass is seva. Helping an elder with a bag or moving a creature from danger is seva. But one must serve with wisdom, understanding the true need. Action performed skillfully and selflessly is the foundation of yoga. All prayers and meditations are secondary to this. You always have time for seva in thought, word, and deed. "Who can serve the poor people, the needy people? There is maybe God inside." "Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam. Yoga will be successful through the sādhanā, the karma sādhanā."

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.
