International Day of Yoga - Yogaclass

Recorded on
Om Ashram, Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Be patient and faithful
0:45 - 1:43 (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
Chakras and Awakening
1:50 - 2:50 (60 min)
Recorded on
Our subject is Kuṇḍalinī and cakras, the science of body, mind, and soul. First, arrange your space and bring your hands together at the heart, feeling the energy flow. This energy is your own divinity. Kuṇḍalinī awakening is not a physical movement but an awakening in clarity and joy. We exist through layered bodies: the physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and the body of bliss. Major energy centers, or cakras, exist in humans and animals, connecting us to elements like earth. Regular contact with the earth purifies these energies. Self-realization means understanding the self. The soul is one, like a single powerhouse lighting many bulbs. Do not claim a permanent, egoistic self-realization; true oneness is rare and often temporary. Non-duality is the final knowledge that removes the ignorance which creates fear and separation. We must meditate on this oneness. "Kuṇḍalinī means you are awakened in your clarities, in your knowledge, in your happiness, your joy—not that something in your body is moving." "The soul is one, so your soul cannot be ill... We are all one soul." Filming location: Alexandria, USA
Devotion to Gurudev
2:55 - 3:52 (57 min)
Recorded on
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
Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (2/9)
4:00 - 5:42 (102 min)
Recorded on
A guided session integrates mantra, meditation, and āsana for holistic practice. Begin by sitting comfortably and chanting the Gāyatrī Mantra to greet the inner and outer light. Relax the entire body systematically, from forehead to legs. Observe the natural breath, receiving fresh prāṇa and releasing stress. Concentrate on the mantra, observing thoughts without attachment. Conclude the meditation with gratitude and conscious breathing. Perform a series of āsanas including Ānanda Āsana, Pavanmuktāsana, and Sumeru Āsana to stretch and strengthen the body. These postures work on the spine, limbs, and core, renewing energy. Practice prāṇāyāma to regulate breath flow, followed by final chants. "Just be your mantra in the breathing process." "Observe as your heartbeat and the rhythm of breathing become slower and slower with relaxation." Filming location: Umag, Croatia
Control your energy and mind
5:50 - 6:53 (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. "O human, control the mind." "Your mind will always go to something. Where is your mind?" Filming location: Croatia
Live the life of a Human
7:00 - 7:20 (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
What does Holiness mean
7:25 - 8:32 (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
Believe or don't believe
8:40 - 9:31 (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
Vishwaguruji is always within us
9:35 - 10:28 (53 min)

The path of sādhanā leads to liberation. Practice sādhanā with love for the Divine. The first sādhanā is discrimination between the real and unreal. The second is dispassion for worldly enjoyments. The third is the sixfold virtues like tranquility and faith. The fourth is the intense desire for liberation. By this practice, one attains mokṣa. The Guru is the source of all grace and is eternally present within the heart. One must open oneself to receive this guidance. The world is a transient illusion, yet the Guru's blessings make everything possible. "Practice sādhanā with love for Hari; through that, your liberation will be." "Without Gurudev’s blessings, nothing in this world is possible." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
The Sun Shines in the Kingdom of God: On Habit, Mind, and the Kośas
10:35 - 11:26 (51 min)
Recorded on
Yoga in daily life is the ever-shining sun, present everywhere. The program begins with purifying the body's impurities. Habit becomes one's second nature. A story illustrates this: a man jumps into a river to retrieve a coat, which is actually a bear. The bear catches him. The man wishes to leave the coat, but the coat does not leave him. This is the condition of dependency. People find time for negative habits but claim to have no time for meditation or good deeds. The mind is a reflection, like a face in a mirror; one cleans the mirror, but the spot is on the face. The mind must be corrected through techniques, good society, and meditation. The five sheaths of the being are the body of nourishment, energy, mind, intellect, and bliss. Liberation comes from mastering the mind, attachment, hope, and thirst. Give charity without expectation of return. This is the science of yoga for body, mind, and soul. "Habit is the second nature of the human." "Man marā na mamatā marī—your desires, what you want to have." Filming location: Alexandria, USA
Be with your Guru
11:30 - 12:45 (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."

How could we live a happy life
12:50 - 13:41 (51 min)
Recorded on
Morning satsang from Yoga Summer Retreat from Vep, Hungary. Logo and uniform are important. Our colour is a golden, colour of Ganesha and Krishna too. Yoga practising and meditation will change the new generation in the world. The wold needs to love no war. Mantras destroy many illnesses. All religion is a sector. Gayatri mantra is very good to chains when the sun is rising. In Asia girls praying with her mother for a good husband. Beauty is in the heart and in the soul. Many nerves and many bones disappear during our life. The prana is energy, it is God. If zótgere is prana in the body there is life also. We should not destroy the prana of the animals. Not easy to go away from the human body. The graveyard is a very holy place.
In the end everything will be counted

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
Sri SatGuru Chalisa
14:45 - 14:58 (13 min)
Recorded on
The Satguru Chalīsā is a sacred text for meditation and crossing worldly existence. We worship the all-pervasive creator, the supreme incarnation. Without this grace, no one crosses the ocean of worldly life. All sages meditate upon this presence. Spiritual knowledge is given to the heart, resulting in fearlessness and the end of problems. Reading or listening to the Chalīsā brings concentration, ends the fear of birth and death, and grants prosperity and fulfillment. Life becomes perfect and suffering departs. The verses describe the merciful protector who uplifts all beings. Those who gain this vision are supremely fortunate and their wishes succeed. The guru is eternal and unequaled. Approaching the guru cleanses eons of misdeeds. The blessing itself is everything. "Without Your mercy, no one can cross the ocean of worldly existence." "Those who will have a darśan of you, Gurudev, they will be the greatest, and they will all the time have concentration and feeling for God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Education for Flexible Identities
15:00 - 15:15 (15 min)
Recorded on
Education requires recognizing the teacher and learner within oneself. If you cannot find the guru inside, you cannot recognize an adequate external guide. One must simultaneously be governed and govern, embodying this contradiction to harmonize self and society. True education awakens self-education first in oneself, like a candle needing its own flame to light others. Modern schooling historically replaced one fixed identity, like a peasant, with another, like a worker, but today that rigid model is destructive. We need education for flexible identity, learning to manage energy for fight or peace, as in yoga. Freedom is not limited by others but created through them; society is a necessity for liberty, not an obstacle. Our words and thoughts matter, as we are largely water, and they influence our very structure. "If you are not able to recognize the guru in yourself, how can you recognize your guru in another person?" "The other person is not an obstacle but a necessity for me to live my freedom."

Guru is only one
15:20 - 16:10 (50 min)
Recorded on
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
The Science of Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
16:15 - 17:00 (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
Sanyas Diksha of Swami Chandrapuriji
17:04 - 17:14 (10 min)
Recorded on
The journey begins with the Guru, invoking divine presence through mantra and sacred narrative. Listen. You are making a resolve for the spiritual journey. Invocations are offered to Guru, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Durga, Rama, Surya, and the divine principle of fullness. A creation myth is recounted: initially, there was no Shiva-Shakti, no linga, no yoni. They were fashioned from cuttings; from the first drop of blood came vermilion, from the second came all expansion. A devotional dialogue asks: Who cut the hair? Who gave the teaching? The Alakh Purush cut the hair; the Satguru gave the teaching. Thus, the short-haired renunciant shines with the light of Shiva-Shakti. The assembly concludes with salutations to the Guru, the eternal Dharma, and all divine forms. "Śiva-śakti nahī̃ thā, liṅga nahī̃ thā, bhaga nahī̃ thā. Nakha cīr ke liṅga banāyā, kamar cīr ke bhaga banāyā." "Kaun Guru Ne Kaata Kes, Kaun Purush Ne Diya Updes? Alakh Purush Ne Kaata Kes, Satguru Ne Diya Updes."
The Path of Sarvahita: Yoga, Health, and Resilience
17:15 - 18:05 (50 min)
Recorded on
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
Prana is the source of our life

Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. We should think first in the morning that we are human. Water is holy because it is the basis of our life. 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.

Pranayama calms down the emotions
20:05 - 21:06 (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

Clean yourself to become a saint
23:05 - 0:00 (55 min)
Recorded on
True spiritual life is found in selfless service and genuine renunciation, not in titles or appearances. Many claim to be yogis or sannyasis but avoid humble work, seeking only respect and comfort. Real seva means cleaning and serving all without distinction, not just performing rituals. Renunciation is not about wearing orange robes but about inwardly letting go of all possessions and desires. A true seeker serves quietly, like cleaning toilets, without expectation. Theoretical knowledge is useless without this practical humility. Freedom is internal, beyond politics and borders, found in simplicity and unity. "Guru Sevā means not that you already, 'I am sitting there in my room,'... guru seva means you make a seva of all my disciples." "Tyāga, tyāga... When there is no tyāga, then you are inside like this." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
