Yoga, chakras and mantra
0:40 - 1:45 (65 min)
Yoga is the science of union and the balanced foundation of creation. Before creation, the five elements existed separately yet balanced in endless space, alongside universal consciousness. Harmonizing these principles is the first point. Creation begins from the primordial resonance, the sound Oṁ, which is everywhere and considered divine. From this sound comes light, the fire element, known as Svayambhū, that which manifests itself. From Svayambhū comes Śiva, and the multiplication of all elements and life. Yoga means union with oneself. Among 8.4 million species, the human is one. Humans are protectors but have lost their way, making themselves ill through poor diet and environmental harm. Yoga is the science of the human body for achieving good health. Practice includes physical exercise, proper diet, and chanting the primal sound. The body has energy centers, chakras, with fifty-two alphabets of resonance within. Chanting Oṁ from the navel, heart, throat, and head can heal and reduce stress. Balance the physical body, energy body, mind, and knowledge to elevate consciousness. Practice yoga in daily life for society, nourishment, and liberation.
"From that sound we call Oṁ." "Yoga means union—to come to oneself."

The Satguru is the supreme reality and the sole means to liberation. The true Guru is the very form of bliss and knowledge, transcending all duality and qualities. Devotion to the Guru is the essential practice. Perform the loving worship of the Satguru. The disciple's joy depends solely on the Guru's grace. One must never abandon the Guru, for the Guru is the living Sanātana Dharma. In this age, many falsely claim to be gurus without lineage. Do not lose connection to the mother, father, and Guru. Modern exercises called yoga are not the true path. The Guru's lineage is paramount.
"Full of bliss, bestowing supreme joy, the very form of knowledge, transcending duality... To that Sadguru, I bow."
"Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam, Śiṣye Ke Ānanda Maṅgalam. If you are a disciple of that Gurudev, then it doesn’t matter if you are the highest of the high, but for your Gurujī, you are a disciple."

The nature of the Guru
3:15 - 3:55 (40 min)
The one Ātmā resides within the five layers of the body. Through correct practice, these layers—Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, Vijñānamaya, and Ānandamaya Kośa—melt away. The soul then progresses from Jīvātmā to merge with the eternal. Do not create duality or follow other paths. This one Ātmā is within all beings, movable and immovable, including vegetation. Torturing others ensures you will be tortured. All entities are the Self. Meditative joy, or Dhun, brings happiness. Maintain positive thoughts and actions to reflect the boundless beauty of the sky. Use calming words, even with those who are misguided.
"This ātmā is the same in everyone. If you torture other creatures, be sure very soon you will be tortured more."
"All entities are my soul, my Self. All are my Self, and they are my Self. One in all, we are all, and all in us."

Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (2/9)
4:00 - 5:42 (102 min)
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."

We are full of the divinity
5:43 - 5:59 (16 min)
The Yoga in Daily Life program spreads widely through its intrinsic value. A key component is Sarvahitā Āsana, a set of exercises created collectively for universal benefit, suitable for all ages and capacities. This practice, alongside others like Bārikhātu Praṇām, serves as vital medicine for well-being. Consistent practice distinguishes the fit. Those engaged in jealousy and selfish gain are spiritually adrift and in peril. The community is a collective light in darkness, embodying divine grace. Focus must remain on satsaṅg, spiritual association, and divine connection, avoiding gossip and negative company.
"Sarvahitā Āsana is very great."
"You are all a light. In a dark night, even this one flame is there, and we all can walk by it."

The Purifying Path of Haṭha Yoga: An Introduction to Ṣaṭkarma
6:00 - 6:47 (47 min)
Haṭha Yoga's essence is the six purification techniques, or Ṣaṭkarma, for cleansing the body and balancing energy. Our polluted modern environment necessitates these natural cleansings using water, salt, and air. These practices purify the physical system and uniquely influence the vegetative nervous system, which is typically beyond our control. The goal is to balance the Iḍā and Piṅgalā energy channels, allowing the central Suṣumnā to flow. This mastery brings many benefits, fostering willpower and overcoming inertia. Regular purification, especially during seasonal changes, removes metabolic waste that causes illness and stagnation, keeping energy flowing. Specific techniques like Netī cleanse the nasal passages, while Agni Sāra and Naulī stoke the digestive fire. These are potent tools that require proper guidance from an experienced teacher regarding the correct method and timing.
"Haṭha Yoga is not only that we clean and purify our whole system, our whole body, but it also has a great, very great effect on our nervous system, especially the vegetative nervous system."
"When they are balanced, then the third one, the Suṣumnā Nāḍī, will start to flow."

What means sanyas diksha
6:55 - 8:24 (89 min)
The path to sannyāsa is a profound spiritual commitment requiring total surrender and purification. It is a rare attainment, the culmination of many lifetimes of seeking. One must give up all attachments—to family, home, and worldly identity—as this separation is difficult, like a nation leaving a union. The orange cloth is not mere fabric; it symbolizes the skin and blood of one's dedication to reach the highest realms. True realization comes from the heart, where the divine resides, as shown by Hanuman. Seva, selfless service, is essential. The initiation involves rigorous rituals: cleansing the body with sacred substances like cow dung and ash, culminating in the guru cutting the śikhā, severing attachment to the physical world. It is not an easy path, but one of continuous inner cleaning to realize the Self.

Shiva will bless All
8:30 - 8:53 (23 min)
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."

Never lose the name of God
9:00 - 9:54 (54 min)
Health and happiness depend on inner cleanliness and divine grace, not external running.
A pandemic reveals a deeper sickness in the age of Kali Yuga. Disease flourishes where tradition and dharma are lost, replaced by physical indulgence and mental depression. This inner pollution manifests as outer illness. True health comes from a happy, clean mind and spirit, not merely medicine. The practice of yoga and mantra, received through a genuine guru paramparā, purifies the body, mind, and thoughts. This grace is real; devotees experience the guru's power directly through life-changing guidance and even the transfer of suffering. Shortcuts and false teachers bring negativity. Real spiritual practice requires lifelong dedication.
"Namaste is best. Namaste means 'I bow to you.' Second, it means you and I are one."

We should help
10:00 - 10:45 (45 min)
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."

Follow your Gurudev
10:50 - 11:19 (29 min)
The Guru is the singular, indispensable lamp.
Understanding the Guru's nature comes only in his absence. While present, his light is taken for granted. He traveled widely, visiting many saints and places, yet his devotion remained solely with his lineage. He transformed barren land into an ashram. His constant practice was singing bhajans and giving lectures about his masters. The teaching environment must be kept purely for spiritual matters, avoiding negativity. The Guru's strictness was part of his grace. His physical presence embodied a great spiritual personality. The ultimate truth is that everything is the Guru's grace.

Prayer and Bhajans
11:25 - 12:16 (51 min)
A meditation on unity and devotion through mantra and awareness.
Dedicate every cell, breath, and heartbeat to the divine lineage. We are all connected within this Guru tradition, though we may not be aware. Every inhaled breath is the life force of the paramparā; every exhalation releases negative energy. We pray for all entities, as we are all one vibration and energy of God. Feel this energy, purification, and the light of the Guru. The universal life force is one essence. Feel yourself as one with all living beings, including vegetation and the ocean. God leads us on the right way as we strive. Practice this awareness wherever you are.
"Each and every breath we inhale is the prāṇa of our paramparās and gurudevs."
"Feel thyself within, one with the whole living beings."

The reality is within you
12:20 - 12:57 (37 min)
The spiritual path requires unwavering discipline and grace, not transient seeking. A governor prioritized a blessing over lunch, knowing his breath was uncertain. This illustrates that spiritual practice must never be missed. Many seek quick liberation, but this yields nothing. True yoga is a complete human science, not merely physical postures. Success comes from steadfast practice and the grace of one guru, akin to having only one mother and father. Spiritual realization ends criticism; we respect all paths, understanding the oneness of all beings like drops returning to the ocean. Discipline is essential, especially within family life. Practice without competition, according to your capacity. The soul is like a flame; we must protect and nurture this inner light, as it alone continues beyond the body. Authentic teachings, like unchanged bhajans, guide us. Work inwardly, for external attachments are fleeting. Practice sincerely within your own faith, fostering peace and inner awareness.

Unity in spirituality
13:05 - 13:48 (43 min)
This is a time of global celebration and unity in divine praise. The message of oneness is spread through yoga, transcending all borders and divisions. Personal travels through many nations demonstrate this universal work. The essence of all religions is one God, though human ego creates conflict. The core spiritual truth is that creation emanates from a single consciousness. All souls originate from and return to one divine source, like drops to an ocean. Therefore, live in harmony, forgive, and do good.
"Religion means to realize your relation to God; this is called religion."
"Every soul is the same. From the ocean comes the fog... joined again into the ocean."

Don't ask anything from God
13:55 - 14:45 (50 min)
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."

Sanskrit Hindi and yoga
14:00 - 14:48 (48 min)
The essence of yoga and spiritual understanding is rooted in language and devotion. Sanskrit is the primary and most refined language, containing the 52 divine letters corresponding to the body's chakras. Many are losing their native tongues, creating a spiritual disconnect. Preserving and learning languages like Hindi and Sanskrit is crucial for true yoga practice, as the postures and knowledge are embedded within them. True comprehension comes from engaging with the source language. The relationship with the Guru is paramount for spiritual progress. Meditating upon the Satguru leads beyond the cycle of birth and death. Service and remembrance of the Guru are the highest practices, aligning the individual with the divine principle.
"Meditate on the Satguru. Those who concentrate on your Guru’s birth and death. Then no other birth will be."

Dharma and adharma
14:50 - 15:25 (35 min)
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."

Who will liberate us?
15:30 - 16:04 (34 min)
The unity of all spiritual paths and the essential grace of the guru are paramount. All teachings and religions are one, as all beings are God's children. We respect all holy books and figures, including Jesus on this Christmas day. The divine essence—whether called Viṣṇu, Śiva, or another name—is singular. We must transcend duality, recognizing our shared humanity and fostering humility and peace. The mind must be controlled through yoga. The guru provides the essential knowledge for liberation, surpassing even parental guidance. Life's attachments, like a spider's web, ultimately trap us. At death, no relative or friend can free the soul; only the Satguru can offer true refuge and lead one beyond the cycle.

Pilgrimage
16:10 - 16:57 (47 min)
The essence of pilgrimage is an inner journey, distinct from external trekking. Trekking focuses on gear and terrain, while pilgrimage is about devotion and inner feeling. The physical path is secondary to walking with mantra and spiritual intent. Preparation is not physical training but cultivating presence through sādhānā and satsaṅg. The journey begins from one's home with meditation. Travel lightly, releasing material worries and mental planning into a state of trust. Observing devoted pilgrims reveals patience and joy, not schedules or complaints. Satsaṅg is the supreme preparation, transforming the practitioner more than any physical effort. Life itself is a pilgrimage best traveled without unnecessary burdens.

Clean yourself to become a saint
17:45 - 18:40 (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.

Oneness
18:45 - 19:17 (32 min)
Yoga is a universal science, yet its practice manifests through diverse traditions and names. All religions and their sacred calendars must be respected, not deleted. Changing time itself, like daylight saving, disrupts natural harmony. Different yoga schools or healing methods are like various names within one body or nation; the essence is one. Physical practices like asana prepare the being, but they do not touch the soul. For that, one must ultimately go to the Guru. The Guru is the final point to cross the ocean of worldly existence, serving as mother, father, and Satguru in the lineage.

The Guru is the unity of all worship and the source of true knowledge. Worship of all creation is worship of the one Guru, for the soul and the Guru are one. Singing devotional prayers requires the qualities of a Guru, as it is rooted in meditation upon the Gurudev.

The Essence of Prāṇa, Guru, and Disciple
23:35 - 0:33 (58 min)
Life is lived in the present through the prāṇa. The past is a memory and the future is unknown; only the present breath is real. Prāṇa is the vital thread sustaining life, persisting even when breath and pulse seem absent. Yogis learn to live with this energy, aligning with natural cycles like sunrise and sunset. Sleep states—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—reveal different layers of consciousness. In deep sleep, there is complete relaxation, while dreams carry impressions from our waking life. A true yogi can navigate these states with awareness through yoga nidrā, transforming dreams. This mastery is rare and comes only through the guru's grace. The guru-disciple bond is the essential conduit for this knowledge, transcending mere physical presence or ritual.
"The prāṇa is like a thread; we are hanging on the thread."
"Only that yogī, that guru—we call param-gurus—they can give inside one key."
