Going to Brahmaloka
1:00 - 1:59 (59 min)
Recorded on
The foundation of practice is essential, regardless of one's level. The complete system of yoga begins with basic exercises, which are more beneficial than advanced postures. Even advanced practitioners must regularly return to foundational practices for proper preparation and health. The science of prāṇāyāma also requires starting from the beginning each time, progressing gradually like gears in a car. Many use terms like Aṣṭāṅga Yoga or Haṭha Yoga without practicing their true, scriptural meanings, which creates confusion. Authentic progress requires following one complete path with its principles, not mixing methods. Theory alone is insufficient; practical application is what fulfills. "The first and second parts of Yoga in Daily Life are more beneficial than advanced postures." "Tons of theory is nothing, a gram of practice." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Essence of Prāṇa, Guru, and Disciple
2:05 - 3:03 (58 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
We should help
3:10 - 3:55 (45 min)
Recorded on
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
Yoga in Daily Life - exercise program
4:00 - 5:29 (89 min)
Recorded on
A guided practice of deep relaxation, mindful movement, and breath awareness. Begin by systematically releasing tension from the feet to the face with each exhale. Practice creating and releasing tension in individual limbs, then the whole body, to feel the contrast. Move with slow, deliberate stretches, coordinating each motion with the breath to explore the body's range. Perform gentle spinal twists and core engagements, always moving within a comfortable range without pain. Conclude with focused breathing exercises to purify and calm the nervous system, followed by a period of silent integration. "Release the entire torso, both arms, the muscles in the neck, and all the muscles in the face as you send the exhale throughout the entire body." "The exhalation purifies, releases, and frees you from tension." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Who will liberate us?
5:35 - 6:09 (34 min)
Recorded on
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. "Guru Kṛupāhi Kevalaṁ Śiṣyaki Ānanda Maṅgalaṁ. When the Gurudeva is there, the disciple is happy, full of joy." "Without Satgurus, we come there, you are not in that knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The reality is within you
6:15 - 6:52 (37 min)
Recorded on
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. "Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam. As long as you have the mercy, the Kṛpā, of Gurudeva, you will be on the good path." "One in all and all in one." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Pilgrimage
7:00 - 7:47 (47 min)
Recorded on
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. "You only need to breathe. Everything else is in the hands of God." "I am going to my beloved... with joy and with love."

The nature of the Guru
7:55 - 8:35 (40 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
Bhajan singing from Jadan Ashram
8:40 - 9:15 (35 min)
Recorded on
The refuge lies at the divine feet. By taking refuge there, one experiences supreme truth and bliss, becoming free from the cycle of birth and death. The mind finds its steady path. The Vedas and Puranas sing of this refuge. True devotion and knowledge lead to liberation. The divine name itself brings supreme happiness. The true Guru is incomparable. "Charaṇamme Arasattati Ratahe, Vohela Purāṇamme Gāte." "Mannava Dhire Dhire Chalga, Gaṅgā Charanare Bai." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Prayer and Bhajans
9:20 - 10:11 (51 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Don't ask anything from God
10:15 - 11:05 (50 min)
Recorded on
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."

Unity in spirituality
11:10 - 11:53 (43 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Villach, Austria
Guru and disciple
12:00 - 12:32 (32 min)
Recorded on
The essence of all spiritual power is Guru's grace alone. Blessings are more powerful than any material possession. This grace is the vitalizing force, like rain reviving a parched landscape. The Guru is one who has attained the supreme state, residing within the heart. A genuine Guru is appointed by the Satguru to care for disciples, not one who merely claims the title. While many instructors in life can be called gurus, the real Guru is singular. True devotion, bhakti, combines the mindful respect of śraddhā with the feeling of love. Through this bhakti toward the Guru, everything can be achieved. Ultimately, the disciple's joy and liberation are founded solely upon this grace. "Guru Kripa Hi Kevalam. Only and only that powers everything we see." "Bhakti is equal to love and śraddhā combined. Both mind and feeling together—this is the great quality of bhakti."

Oneness
12:40 - 13:12 (32 min)
Recorded on
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. "One in all and all in one." "Without Gurudeva, who can let us cross the ocean of that saṃsāra?" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Dharma and adharma
13:20 - 13:55 (35 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Never lose the name of God
14:00 - 14:54 (54 min)
Recorded on
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." "If you have power, then you should take care of Swāmījī, and give the pain to me." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Yoga is for tho whole world
14:00 - 14:43 (43 min)
Recorded on
The Assembly of Wisdom dispels sorrow through the light of Sanatana Dharma. Chemical pollution in food and water for decades has caused widespread disease and imbalance. Yoga, unrelated to religion, offers a global path to harmony, health, and concentration for body and mind. Some initially resisted elements like Aum or Surya Namaskar, but many practitioners worldwide embrace them. The Badi Khatu Pranam is a spiritual practice of 108 movements connecting the individual to the cosmic. It develops the brain, aiding concentration and learning without need for excessive tuition. True learning requires focus, not distractions like phones in school. Preserve your mother tongue while learning other languages. "Yoga is for the whole body, the five life elements, harmony, health, balance, concentration, and happiness." "Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalaṁ. Guru’s grace is the best."

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. "Where is your Rāma and Sītā? He said, 'It is in my heart.'" "The most important and the jewel of all mantras is the guru mantra." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
We should not have duality
18:15 - 18:26 (11 min)
Recorded on
The divine lineage is eternal, manifesting across all ages. From the Satya Yuga through to the present, this sacred tradition continues. Great saints perpetually appear, representing a twofold divine expression: one is the singular incarnation of God for an era, and the other is the everlasting succession of saintly Gurus. This is not about a single individual; there are many Gurus, just as there are many parents. All are manifestations of the one divine reality. Your parents are your gods, yet we respect all elders as such. The soul is one, though forms differ. Other traditions are good, yet they often speak of a God from the past, not a living, ever-present God. Without a living God, it is like a child whose mother has died; where does one find that direct love? We must transcend duality, for God is everywhere. "One is as God, what we call, appearing once in that time... the second is called the saint, known as the Guru Bhagat... there is another who is forever coming." "Other religions are also very good, but they have no God—not a living God. Once they have a God, and that’s all." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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. A genuine guru teaches comprehensive knowledge—the what, where, and how—not merely alphabets or rituals. Common sense and deeper understanding are essential, unlike the disciple who foolishly overfilled a container with oil. The teaching is to awaken this inner wisdom. "Meditate on the Gurudev. And do not think the Gurudev is only for giving pictures and mantras." "Just writing the alphabet and teaching you this and this and that is not enough. That is very, very important: when, where, and how." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Shiva will bless All
20:05 - 20:28 (23 min)
Recorded on
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

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." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
