Pranayama calms down the emotions
0:05 - 1:06 (61 min)
Recorded on
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
Karma yoga means serving
1:10 - 1:50 (40 min)
Recorded on
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."

Be patient and faithful
1:55 - 2:53 (58 min)
Recorded on
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

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 practice of Yoga in Daily Life has spread this culture. Great blessings enabled its growth from small, humble beginnings. Everything described is the living play of divine grace, which makes the impossible possible. The essence is within.

Control your energy and mind
8:25 - 9:28 (63 min)
Recorded on
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.

Yoga is a science for human well-being. Observing practitioners during the pandemic revealed that those maintaining a vegetarian lifestyle within a specific community were largely unaffected, unlike many general yoga practitioners. This points to lifestyle's role in health. Yoga's techniques, like Brahmari Prāṇāyāma, are often derived from nature. This practice uses a humming breath to create internal vibrations, addressing issues like headaches and tension. It requires correct posture and breath from the navel. Practice is foundational, but yoga extends beyond physical techniques to a deeper connection within. The true guide removes obstacles, allowing inner potential to unfold, and does not claim the role of doer. "Those who were not eating eggs, meat, alcohol, drugs, etc., they were not affected." "Brahmari Prāṇāyāma affects the whole body. The inner vibration can restore the health of the body itself." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
Believe or don't believe
10:35 - 11:26 (51 min)
Recorded on
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." "Humans should never kill animals." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
What does Holiness mean
11:30 - 12:37 (67 min)
Recorded on
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
Guru is only one

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
Be with your Guru
13:40 - 14:55 (75 min)
Recorded on
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."

Around the world - Yoga against backpain SLO
15:00 - 15:36 (36 min)
Recorded on
The spine's structure, function, and care through yoga are examined. The spine consists of 24 vertebrae forming the axial skeleton, protecting the spinal cord. Muscles and ligaments support posture and movement. Pain arises from acute strain or chronic issues like poor alignment and disc damage. Daily postures, such as prolonged sitting, create imbalance and excessive load, particularly on the lower lumbar vertebrae. Proper biomechanics and the hydraulic function of intervertebral discs are crucial for distributing force. A brief daily yoga practice can alleviate these issues. Gentle stretching, twisting, and strengthening āsanas, performed with awareness, relieve tension, mobilize the spine, and improve overall energy. Consistency in a short morning routine yields significant benefit. "The spinal cord is the main highway in our body for nerve signals." "Chronic pains are more complex. They last for months or even years." Filming location: Slovenia
Live the life of a Human
15:40 - 16:00 (20 min)
Recorded on
Human life is given for a purpose: to live in harmony, protect all creatures, and ultimately achieve liberation. Life is limited, but the soul continues through many births. This human form is the final step to reach the supreme destination, though the path is demanding. All religions and cultures offer a valid way to the one God, who welcomes all. The destructive force is human ego—pride in position, wealth, or power. These gifts should be used to serve and help others. That service is yoga. Yoga is a lifelong path of balance, encompassing prayer, devotion, and compassionate action. Preserving family, culture, and tradition provides a necessary nest for the human spirit. In the current age, even yogis fall into competition, but yoga itself has none. The practice involves caring for body and mind through postures, breath, and meditation, leading to purification. "Helping hands have more value than folded hands." "Ultimately, I will be there to welcome you, bless you, liberate you, and guide you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Science of Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
16:05 - 16:50 (45 min)
Recorded on
The science of kuṇḍalinī and cakras is the definitive path to the highest consciousness, requiring a genuine guru from a true lineage. This knowledge is endless and encompasses all yoga practices. The deities and stories are symbolic representations of this inner science, not literal. For instance, the tale of Kṛṣṇa and the gopīs symbolizes that the human body is a divine gift; without spiritual practice, one loses this "dress" and is reborn in an animal form. Another story of Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī tests a devotee's greed, showing that worldly prosperity can distract from true devotion. These are teaching tools. Kuṇḍalinī is not about sexuality; tantra rightly means expanding consciousness to liberate oneself. All reality exists within the human body and being. "Kṛṣṇa did not take that dress away. That dress is His skin." "Tan means expand. And 'trā' means 'to liberate.' Expand your consciousness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Try to open the lock

Oneness is the divine reality encompassing all beings. We exist as a small part of a vast creation, living in water, on earth, and in the sky. The Supreme has brought all life into being. Humans, as God's children, were given divine capability. Yet, claiming independence led to negativity and conflict. The solution is likened to opening a locked mala. The divine Name serves as the key to this lock. By focusing on a single, sacred name, one accesses the treasure within. This practice transcends all divisions, restoring harmony. "God gave everything to their children... What God can do, the human can do everything." "The best is on this one name... That is the best name." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The moon, its constellations, and Jyotiṣa are paramount for determining auspicious timing in life. Avoid gazing at the sun during an eclipse, as it attracts negative energy. The moon's phases, especially the full moon, hold great power. Jyotiṣa, the authentic system, follows the lunar constellations, not the solar path. It is essential for determining marriage compatibility and the timing of all ceremonies to ensure lifelong happiness and familial dedication. The system originates from the sage Gargācārya. In the current age, ignoring these celestial guides and acting solely on emotion leads to widespread problems. "Timing is very important according to Jyotiṣa." "Marital happiness comes from the constellations of the moon." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Prana is also holy and necessary for our life. Animals are aware in their sleep also. The story about a yogi and the tigers. We need oxygen for meditation. The story about two friends who went to the Himalayas and try to share their meal. The story about Vishwaguruji Mansadev and a bear in a forest in Kanada. We have to be the winner against corona.
