Satsang with Vishwaguruji Maheshwarananda, Summer Retreat in Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.

Dharma in Kali Yuga requires integrating non-violence and reverence into all actions. Performing rituals while harming creatures is contradictory. Hiṃsā is killing or eating animals, and also causing pain through harsh words, even within families. All life feels pain. Cruel speech is adharma. Dharma extends to protecting natural resources. Water is life itself; do not waste it. The Tulsī plant embodies divine presence and healing power, revered as sacred. All plant life possesses this sanctity. True dharma cannot coexist with harming other beings for food, except in absolute necessity for survival. Negative thoughts and gossip are a form of violence. Spiritual practice must unify worship with compassionate living. "Hiṃsā means killing other creatures. And not only killing, but eating them." "Water is our life. Where there is water, there is God."

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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 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." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Yoga is a unified science of experience, transmitted through specific methodologies for application in life. The term "Iyengar Yoga" refers to one such tradition, emphasizing precision and the use of props to make the experience of āsanas accessible to all, regardless of condition. This approach allows for stability and comfort in any circumstance. The practice is supported by both long-term observation and formal research, which shows physiological changes, such as increased GABA levels, correlating with reduced anxiety and depression. Applying this methodology to pregnancy involves strengthening the body and mind to manage stress and physiological changes. Specific, supported āsanas can address common issues like back pain and prepare for delivery. Crucially, practice must be guided by an experienced teacher within a framework of safety, collaborating with modern medicine rather than opposing it. The same principles apply in managing conditions like cancer, where yoga practices modulate stress responses, improve immune function, and help manage treatment side effects, contributing to better quality of life. The goal is always balance and integration. "Āsanas are descriptions, not prescriptions." "Samatvaṁ yoga ucyate. Balance is yoga." Filming location: Delhi, India

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." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

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 human condition is defined by ignorance and a futile pursuit of immortality within the physical form. Humans possess great arrogance and technical skill but remain confined by the body and its elemental nature. Even deities are subject to change, and no being in a physical form can be granted immortality. True immortality exists only beyond the five elements, as the soul or Ātmā. Human life is consumed by fear, desire, and material accumulation, which creates suffering and severs connection from righteousness. Modern society exacerbates greed and hardship, distancing people from dharma and spiritual truth. The soul is eternal but trapped and unhappy within the physical body; liberation comes when it departs and merges with the universal consciousness, like a drop returning to the ocean. "Immortality is when you are not in the physical body." "The soul is in our body, and the soul is not happy, but our body doesn’t want to let go." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Purification and faith are essential for spiritual and physical well-being. Many suffer, seeking solutions. True practice requires internal and external cleansing before approaching the divine. Merely asking for favors is incorrect; one must first purify body, thought, and energy. Rituals like bathing and mantra are medicinal powers, but their efficacy depends on sincere preparation. Sleep expels necessary negative energies, leaving one sluggish until purified by morning rites. Belief manifests in one's entire being, not in requests. Impurities within are vast, requiring constant work through practice, not laziness. Lead with thoughts of peace and kindness to become healthy. "Have you cleaned your body? Have you cleaned your thoughts? Have you cleaned your thinking?" "Believe, belief is the belief. It’s your problem if you believe confidence, then in your whole energy in the body, the whole organs in our body, our heart, our eyes, our mood, our words, our ears, many things, and then we bow down."

Satsaṅg is the company of truth and spiritual association, while kusaṅg is negative company. A disciple wished to attend a festival, but his Gurujī gave him a peacock feather to view the crowd. Through it, he saw the gathering as a mass of fighting animals, except for a small group who remained human in appearance. He realized the crowd's internal qualities were base, though their external forms were human. He immediately returned to the pure company of his teacher. The body may appear human, but the inner quality defines one's nature. Therefore, seek satsaṅg. Do not outwardly declare others as not good, but regard all with good heart and thought. Positive energy may then flow, potentially leading them to good company in time. "Through the feather, he saw only animals in the crowd, but when he looked without it, they appeared as humans." "Therefore, satsaṅg. Satsaṅg is good things." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Pranayama practice.

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. "One drop is just in the palm of our heart, and the ocean is so big. And now, this drop wants to say, 'I want to go to my water, my ocean.'" "Your father and your mother and your brother and your friends... are not forever. Again, we have to walk on our path." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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."

The Kali Yuga presents a severe trial, demanding unity. A time of great calamity approaches, with disasters, disease, and agricultural ruin. Yet, a path exists for those with correct knowledge to merge with the cosmic Śiva. Śiva's nature is universally compassionate, embracing all people and religions without exclusion, unlike other forces that may discriminate. Śiva's blessing is the paramount solution. The precious human birth is easily squandered without understanding. Time, once lost, never returns. Therefore, one must remember Śiva constantly through repetition of His names, cultivating real devotion to the inner Gurudeva, who appears in many forms beyond external designations. This devotion is the essential grace. "Śiva said, 'All of you are very good. Let be.'" "Human life in this world is very, very precious. If you do not understand and you lose it, then you have no knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Program from Village near Nipal, Rajasthan, India.

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
