Chakras and Awakening
0:05 - 1:05 (60 min)
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."

Karma yoga means serving
1:10 - 1:50 (40 min)
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)
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."

We should reach the goal
3:00 - 3:56 (56 min)
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."

Prana is the source of our life
5:05 - 5:49 (44 min)
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.
Vishwaguruji is always within us
5:55 - 6:48 (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."

Clean yourself to become a saint
6:55 - 7:50 (55 min)
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."

Always be positive
7:55 - 8:38 (43 min)
The sun of life and the honey of purity illuminate the path. All spiritual practice is devotion to the divine, beyond divisions of country or religion. The human form is equal, and love must extend to all creatures. Substances like alcohol can be medicine or poison depending on use and knowledge, just as sectarian views of God create division where unity exists. The sun is always present, just as the inner sun of life exists in all beings, seeking joy. Following guidance prevents suffering. Human desire, unlike animals, is endless; action should protect all life. Negative thinking creates suffering, while purity, like pure honey that does not cling, is essential. The heart and body will pass, but one should remain in joy and purity, allowing impurities to fall away.
"Arguing over whose God is best creates big problems. If it is like that, then we are not for that highest, supreme reality, where all gods are one."
"Pure honey, when it drips, does not stick. If it is not real honey but just from sugar, it will stick. This is the difference."

Guru is only one
8:45 - 9:35 (50 min)
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."

Believe or don't believe
11:00 - 11:51 (51 min)
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."

In the end everything will be counted
11:55 - 12:50 (55 min)
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."

The Science of Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
13:15 - 14:00 (45 min)
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."

How could we live a happy life
14:05 - 14:56 (51 min)
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.

We prepare two distinct meals for athletes. The first is whole wheat pasta with sauce and a green salad for endurance. The second is vegetables with fava beans and tofu for muscle building. Both include a milkshake. For athletes, avoid sugar; use raisins or dried fruit. Use minimal water and oil. Start cooking harder vegetables first. Season lightly with Himalayan salt, tamari, and spices like cumin and turmeric for digestion. Add leafy herbs at the end to preserve aroma. The milkshake combines nuts, cottage cheese, milk, and natural sweeteners. It serves as a protein-rich energy source. Brewer's yeast can be added for B12.

"Sports food should not be overly spiced or heavily fried, but it should not be tasteless either."

Yoga and nature is one
15:30 - 15:57 (27 min)
Yoga is the science of humans and a natural way of life. Its first principle is vegetation, which is Āyurveda, an ancient medicine from the Yugas. Modern medicine, while life-saving, is chemical and not fully accepted by the natural body, unlike remedies from plants. Our way of eating has been lost, and white sugar is a major cause of disease. The tongue enslaves us to taste, leading to illness. Āyurveda encompasses diet and was once so advanced it included surgeries like those on the brain. Yoga is not acrobatics; it is a scientific system for a long, healthy life. Many practice it incorrectly, which can cause harm. True yoga involves physical exercise, breathing, concentration, and meditation. We are all God, and our actions determine our fate. The practice should be shared freely for community health.
"Yoga is the science of humans. Yoga is a natural way of life."
"If we do good, we will get good. If we do bad, we will go bad."

Theory and Practice: The Two Horses of Realization
16:00 - 16:26 (26 min)
Realization requires both theory and practice. Theory provides the map, inspiration, and techniques, but without practice, we cannot move. Practice is the essential action that brings theoretical understanding to life. We need both elements integrated. Meditation manifests in two primary forms. Passive meditation involves sitting in stillness and self-inquiry. Active meditation is performing duties and creative acts with full, loving attention, such as caring for a child or creating art. This engaged action is also a spiritual practice. In life, we must manage our reactions. When faced with negativity or strong emotion, wisdom involves pausing, allowing inner storms to pass, and choosing not to retaliate. True strength is in calm non-reaction and forgiveness, which ends cycles of conflict. Self-inquiry meditation asks "how" we are, examining our thoughts and actions to find peace amidst disturbance by reframing our perspective.
"Tons of theory are nothing compared with a gram of practice."

Atma is one and body is different
17:00 - 17:53 (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.'"
"Holy Gurujī said, 'I have only one āśram, and that's our body.'"

Self is happiness
17:15 - 17:53 (38 min)
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect.
"If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere."
"The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision."

Take care of your heart
17:55 - 18:30 (35 min)
The Anāhata Chakra is the heart's lotus, the seat of limitless awareness beyond worldly borders.
Yoga is the science of the chakras. Each chakra stores different karmic energy from past lives. People are either awake or asleep in ignorance according to their karma. Anger is a fire from ignorance; where there is knowledge, there is no anger. The heart is the temple of the spirit and the place of the soul's love. The heart is our most loyal organ, constantly working, yet we often neglect it. The Anāhata Chakra connects to the Svādhiṣṭhāna, where negative feelings can manifest as a knife in the heart. To open the heart is to be in divinity, and its sound is the soul's constant call to God. Love is a quality present in all creatures, the touch of the divine.
"Anāhata means the limitless, beyond the borders of these worldly troubles."
"Where there is love, there is no anger, no hate, no jealousy, no any negative feelings."

Morning satsang from weekend seminar in Vep, Hungary on 14th of February 2009.
Be with your Guru
19:45 - 21:00 (75 min)
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."
