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

The essence of devotion to the spiritual teacher is total surrender and attentive receptivity. A true disciple absorbs every word from the teacher, considering each a divine nectar essential for growth. Questioning the teacher's actions is forbidden, as illustrated by the story of the guru saving a scorpion despite being bitten; each being follows its nature, and the guru follows the dharma of compassion. Even divine incarnations required a teacher, underscoring that a life is incomplete without one. The teacher's grace is everything; without it, the disciple is like a pot with a hole, unable to retain the knowledge being poured in. True devotion is rare, often corrupted by worldly desires for succession or property, not by genuine sorrow at the teacher's passing. The prescribed ritual for the holy day involves fasting, offering items like sandalwood and a garland filled with devotion, washing the teacher's feet, and performing full prostration to seek blessings and forgiveness. "Guru Kripa hi kevalam, śiṣya ke ānanda maṅgalam." "The scorpion's dharma was to bite; my dharma was to save it." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

True learning requires patience, reverence for the source, and inner focus. The current global pause invites turning inward to ask fundamental questions of identity and purpose. Withdrawing the senses is the primary meditation; using a mala with mantra is a valid secondary method that fosters oneness. Singing bhajans is learning, but one must always credit the original composer, as failing to do so is theft and creates nonsense. Do not believe all knowledge is already taken; like butter from a cow, true insight is perpetually renewed if you tend to the source. Education, like yoga, cannot be rushed. A child learns through gradual stages and requires play to refresh the mind. A student must fully absorb one lesson before teaching another. A pilot trains for years, trusting instruments to land safely; similarly, a disciple must practice diligently under guidance, not seeking quick results. Learning is embedding knowledge within, not merely reading. "If you eat the butter, what will happen? The cow is with me. Feed the cow with good, and you will again take the milk, and you have the butter again." "Do not think that I cannot do more. We are here within, and that is the makhan of our knowledge, and that will be fresh." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Morning Yoga practice from the international Yoga retreat Umag, Croatia

Evenining satsang with Vishwaguruji from Garrison, NY, USA. Firstly, we should understand our whole being. For that we need Masters, practice and realize ourselves: Who am I? The best meditation is to come within thyself. There are five bodies or layers accompanying the Soul. Knowledge has no end.

The potency of devotion and love enables divine intervention. The Sanjīvanī herb shines at night on a Himalayan hill. Firm devotion provides messengers with telepathic communication. Rāvaṇa sent a demon disguised as a sage to trick Hanumān at a lake, claiming a bath was required for the herb to work. A demon transformed into a crocodile attacked Hanumān, who destroyed it. The demon then used magic to make all herbs shine, confusing identification. Hanumān, embodying strength and intelligence, lifted mountains on his journey. Messengers informed Rāvaṇa of an approaching enemy. Bharata, in an inconsistent account, shot an arrow meant for Rāma that struck Hanumān. The narrative shifts to describe love's unbreakable bond, illustrated by Kṛṣṇa being bound by a gopī's thread of love. As dawn approaches and Lakṣmaṇa's life fades, Rāma despairs over Hanumān's return. "There is no force that can bind me, but there is one thread—that of love—in which I become entwined; it does not break away from me." "Hanumān, when will you come to be with us? Bhagavān Rāma says, 'I do not know for myself.'" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Haṭha Yoga's essence is the six purification techniques, or Ṣaṭkarma, for cleansing the body and balancing energy. Our polluted modern environment necessitates these natural cleansings using water, salt, and air. These practices purify the physical system and uniquely influence the vegetative nervous system, which is typically beyond our control. The goal is to balance the Iḍā and Piṅgalā energy channels, allowing the central Suṣumnā to flow. This mastery brings many benefits, fostering willpower and overcoming inertia. Regular purification, especially during seasonal changes, removes metabolic waste that causes illness and stagnation, keeping energy flowing. Specific techniques like Netī cleanse the nasal passages, while Agni Sāra and Naulī stoke the digestive fire. These are potent tools that require proper guidance from an experienced teacher regarding the correct method and timing. "Haṭha Yoga is not only that we clean and purify our whole system, our whole body, but it also has a great, very great effect on our nervous system, especially the vegetative nervous system." "When they are balanced, then the third one, the Suṣumnā Nāḍī, will start to flow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

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 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." "The past is gone. The present is here. But you think, 'In the future, I will also get this.' But you will not get it."

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." Filming location: Kranj, Slovenia

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

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

The human form embodies a duality of potential, represented by our two hands. One hand bestows blessings, while the other wields destructive power. We need God, but God does not need us. A story illustrates this: a demon asked Shiva for the power to burn anyone he touched. Shiva granted it. The demon then sought to test this power on Shiva himself, forcing Shiva to flee. This shows the danger inherent in such power. Our hands can offer nourishment or violence, just as our eyes perceive but can also deceive. Every part of the body holds this dual capacity. Therefore, one must practice awareness and choose the path of blessing, humility, and non-violence. The techniques for transcendence are within the human body, but they require purity of action and intention. "If you believe, it is okay. And if you don’t believe, it is okay. You will fall down."

The Guru, mantra, and spiritual practice are essential in Kali Yuga. This age is marked by anger and disease globally. Those following a sattvic diet and yoga practice remained healthy, as research shows. The science of yoga provides protection. Mantra practice is paramount, and the mantra given by one's Guru is fundamental. The Guru's word is the true essence, not the physical form. One must not seek a second initiating guru, though one may listen to all saints. All life originates from the same source, like drops from one ocean. Spiritual progress requires meditation, mantra, and adherence to the Guru's word. "Only one guru you have, your guru." "Do not think of the body of the guru... that mantra which is given by the guru is like a seed planted in your body." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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

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.

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 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.
