Bari Khathu Pranam improves the immunity
1:50 - 2:48 (58 min)
Coronavirus concerns everyone globally. It can be present without symptoms. Stay home if you have fever, headache, sore throat, or chills until symptom-free for 48 hours. The virus primarily attacks lung tissue, hindering oxygen exchange. Transmission occurs through moist respiratory particles expelled when speaking, coughing, or sneezing, traveling one to one and a half meters normally. Masks are crucial to contain these particles. Hand sanitizer, soap, and surface disinfection destroy the virus's outer layer. Most infected individuals do not require intensive care; the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions are most vulnerable. Strengthening overall health through proper sleep and yoga supports the immune system. Persist with protective measures like masks, distance, and hygiene.
"The problem is we become tired of wearing the mask, but it is very cheap insurance for our life, our families, and all of humanity."
"Exercises strengthen the immune system, which yoga does very well."

Be patient and faithful
2:55 - 3:53 (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."

Use it, or you will lose it
5:10 - 5:56 (46 min)
The horizon of being is the ultimate spiritual goal of becoming one with infinite space. Humans possess intellect but require a teacher to guide them beyond worldly knowledge. All beings follow divine instinct, yet humans become distracted by transient forms like changing hair color or accumulating wealth. Life cycles like a tree's leaves, emerging and falling, with essence continually reborn in new forms. The horizon appears as a mirage, always receding as one approaches, symbolizing the elusive nature of enlightenment. True realization is merging into boundless space where all dualities cease. Spiritual practice is essential; inner wisdom must be used or it is lost. The guru is the essential guide to this liberation.
"Use it or lose it."
"As far as I come close to that element, it goes that further."

Prana is the source of our life
6:00 - 6:44 (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

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."

The real disciple
7:50 - 8:29 (39 min)
The essence of Sanātana Dharma is Śaṅkarācārya, who restored truth from a young age. He sought to become a sannyāsī despite his mother's initial refusal, later fulfilling his promise to perform her funeral rites against convention. He established four monasteries across India, providing different spiritual paths for different natures. Becoming a true disciple requires immense dedication, as illustrated by the tale of Upamanyu. The young boy endured severe tests from his guru, including starvation, blindness, and falling into a well, yet maintained his devotion. His unwavering faith ultimately invoked divine vision and strength. Modern disciples often lack such steadfastness, distracted by the temptations of the current age.
"Mother, I will be there for you, but I must also go forth to restore reality and truth."
"Gurudev, I cannot eat without first offering food to someone."

The Science of Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
8:35 - 9:20 (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."

Kriya for opening to knowledge
9:25 - 10:13 (48 min)
The practice of mantra and mudrā purifies the chakras and cultivates divine speech. Chant the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya mantra to awaken energy and concentration. A specific hand mudrā channels a flow like a sacred river, bringing calmness. The mantra seeks nectar for the tongue, meaning speech should be humble, kind, and sweet. This connects to social education. The throat chakra holds the seed of Sarasvatī, producing divine sound. Speech manifests through three levels: parā, paśyantī, and vaikharī. These correspond to centers of feeling, manifestation, and formulation. Mastering them leads to excellent speech. A subsequent mudrā involves touching specific centers to create a powerful circulation of energy. This practice removes anxiety, brings calm, and opens knowledge.
"May my every word be like sweet honey."
"Whoever has good, excellent speech is said to have Sarasvatī on their throat."

Believe or don't believe
10:20 - 11:11 (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."

Clean yourself to become a saint
11:15 - 12:10 (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."

Sanyas Diksha of Swami Chandrapuriji
12:15 - 12:25 (10 min)
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."
How could we live a happy life

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.
Always be positive
13:25 - 14:08 (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."

Around The World - Vegetarianism and top sport, Part 3
15:00 - 15:23 (23 min)
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.
"A key principle in cooking is to never use too much water."
"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."

Everything is yoga
16:25 - 16:55 (30 min)
The individual soul is the same in all beings, from human to ant. The ocean and a drop from it are not separate; the drop is the ocean. All beings pass through one door, not separate doors for different religions or species. Heaven and hell are dualities within coming and going, but Sanatana Dharma is the eternal principle, with Śiva as its source, having no familial relations. God is within each soul. Humans have created many religious forms, but there is only one God. The living guru is a principle beyond the deities Śiva, Brahmā, and Viṣṇu. Yoga originates from Śiva, encompassing postures and the unity of all action. The roots of this knowledge lie with the eternal Saptaṛṣis. Ultimately, space, consciousness, and all elements arise from and are controlled within Śiva.
"Anywhere, that drop is the ocean."
"Yoga means what we are doing."

Practice like Holy Guruji
16:30 - 17:52 (82 min)
The essential need is for the living grace and vision of the teacher. All spiritual practice is dry without the guru's darśan and mercy. The ultimate goal is to internalize this vision so it is present whenever the eyes are closed. True darśan is the feeling awakened in the heart in a sacred place, not merely a physical sight. This gathering after a difficult period is a profound blessing. The dedicated work of many has prepared this new space, which is an invitation for all to come, work, and build together in nature and peace. The current age presents challenges, but within them lies opportunity for those who follow the guru's word with faith and selfless effort.
"All of our sādhanā, everything that we do in our lives, is dry without Gurudev’s darśan and Gurudev’s mercy."

The Inner States: Jagrat, Svapna, Suṣupti, and Beyond
17:00 - 17:14 (14 min)
States of consciousness reveal our inner and outer life.
Waking activity is for the outer world, using all energy from sunrise to sunset. In sleep, we are within ourselves, aware of the inner self filled with divine feeling. This sleep is not nothing; it is a vital awareness given by God. Deep sleep is being one hundred percent aware of the self, comfortable and peaceful. The dream state contains things within ourselves, both good and bad. A constant alertness exists between these states. Therefore, sleeping is very important. A higher level is Yoga Nidrā, a sleep of consciousness toward the Supreme, practiced by yogis.
"In sleeping, we were within ourselves. Our whole being is with us, filled with very, very divine feelings."
"What this sleep means is that we are 100% aware of our self, and so it is very comfortable, relaxed, and peaceful."

We are all like a drop of water seeking to merge with the ocean. Life is a process of growth in time, from childhood onward, yet our individual journeys are temporary. We desire to achieve the goal of oneness with the cosmic reality, to end the cycle of return. This longing is like a single drop wishing to join the vast ocean; upon merging, the separate self is gone. Our familial and social attachments are not permanent, as each soul must ultimately walk its own path toward that dissolution into the One, the ātmā.

Chakras and Awakening
23:25 - 0:25 (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."
