Be careful with the mind
0:30 - 1:53 (83 min)
Recorded on
The spiritual path is narrow and perilous, requiring vigilant discernment. Pride in the body or limited knowledge is a profound weakness. Spiritual development itself brings danger, akin to a newborn vulnerable to infection. Negative influences and mental afflictions can infiltrate and destroy progress from within, much like a small axe fells a mighty tree when joined by the forest that becomes its handle. Therefore, the protective power of true satsaṅga, or holy company, is essential. In this dark age of ignorance, the path is slippery and lined with adversaries. One must be humble, avoid negative company, and remain steadfast on the chosen path, for the mind can either liberate or destroy. "Satguru satsaṅg yārī olu avere, olu avere nen bharja avere." (I am longing for those people who have satsaṅg.) "Galiyāṁ choṭī, rāt andherī, rāste meṁ chikanāī." (The path is very narrow, the night is very dark, and the road is slippery.)

Who will be the successor?
2:00 - 3:04 (64 min)
Recorded on
The divine order operates beyond human understanding, and attempts to control it lead to failure. A farmer demanded rain according to his schedule, and the resulting crops bore no seed. This illustrates that one must surrender to the higher wisdom, as a parent cares for a child. The current age is marked by distraction and disease arising from negative forces, which human power cannot control. True spiritual power is demonstrated by the perfected yogi, whose grace can instantly heal. The disciple must remain humble and receptive. The relationship with the guru is singular and permanent, like a birth. A true guru views all disciples equally, without distinction. Disciples must not spoil each other with misplaced praise or expectations, as this hinders spiritual development. The inner spiritual channel, the Vajra Nāḍī, provides unbreakable strength when one is truly humble. "A mother gives birth to a child only once; she will not take it into her stomach again. Similarly, any guru whom you have, once you say to him, 'You are my guru,' then he is the guru." "All disciples should be one disciple... we should not say only this is good and that is not good."

Be conscious in the present
3:10 - 3:54 (44 min)
Recorded on
Satsaṅg is a practice of purification through attentive presence and self-encounter. Open your ears and fill your chest to cleanse negative thoughts. You become your own guide. Every religion has good perspectives, but the root is one. When you come for prayer, ring bells and sing bhajans to relax and oxygenate the body. The essence of an āśram is work. If you are not making effort, it is not a true āśram. In a small āśram, you are forced to face yourself daily; there is nowhere to run from conflicts. These clashes are necessary polishing, like stones in a river becoming smooth. The spiritual work is to see that problems with others are projections of your own qualities. There are no others; what you see outside is part of you to work with. The practice is to be present, not lost in thoughts of past or future. "Tell your wife to sing properly. The husband must be good, but the wife will be even more than that." "In an āśram, basically, you are forced to face yourself every day." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 2 - Part 2
4:00 - 5:11 (71 min)
Recorded on
The practice of Yoga in Daily Life continues systematically from Level Two, beginning with relaxation and progressing through specific āsanas and prāṇāyāma. A session starts with three Oṁ chants and deep relaxation in Ānanda Āsana, consciously releasing tension from toes to forehead. The full yoga breath is practiced, coordinating a three-part wave with movement. The āsana sequence includes Meru Pṛṣṭhāsana for spinal flexibility and energy, Catuṣpada Āsana for stretching and organ function, and Cakrāsana for posture and digestion. Each posture is performed with attention to breath, comfort, and the resulting physical and energetic effects. The practice concludes with prāṇāyāma to balance breath channels and a meditation preparation, ending with chants for peace. "Āsana means, except for other meanings, also comfortable. So āsana should be a comfortable position." "After exhalation, try to feel the complete relaxation of all the muscles and the inner peace, and stop all the movements in your body."

We need real dedication
5:15 - 6:13 (58 min)
Recorded on
Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. There are two kinds of people living separately or in the family. Orange dress means renunciation. The story about two brothers one of them was studied and the other lived a spiritual life alone in a forest. There are two kinds of bhava. One is where there is some wish and the other has no wish. Birds know that there is their child in the eggs. The lecturer speaks about his daily life and his spiritual experiences in different Ashrams.
The Essence of Prāṇa, Guru, and Disciple
6:20 - 7:18 (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
Purify your body and eat proper food
7:25 - 8:22 (57 min)
Recorded on
Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna is a regenerative practice akin to Kāya Kalpa, renewing the body and spirit. Practicing collectively provides mutual energy and support, preventing the isolation and difficulty of solitary practice. This process purifies the body's five elements. The natural environment, such as a meadow with an old tree, radiates vital energy that complements the practice. The body requires internal space and tolerance in its joints, maintained through exercise and diet. Impurities from dead tissues and improper food cause disease; purification comes through prāṇāyāma, fasting, and herbal soups. Consuming pure ghee from specific cows is advised over other fats, and massaging a cow can balance circulation. Natural methods, like using earth to clean teeth, are superior to modern products. The practice cleanses the body, thoughts, and mind completely. "Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna is like what we call regenerating. It is like Kāya Kalpa." "In this small seed, you can carry this whole tree. It will grow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Who will liberate us?
8:30 - 9:04 (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
Bhajan evening from Jadan Ashram
9:10 - 9:47 (37 min)
Recorded on
The compassionate Lord Śiva resides within the heart and bestows liberation. He is the primal Lord whose radiance fills all universes. Taking shelter in him ends pain and brings divine happiness. He cuts the noose of bondage with his own hand and liberates the soul. Worship and meditation upon this blessing cure diseases and remove all obstacles. Success is bestowed in the heart, and one obtains everything without asking. Focus the mind on the Guru in the heart to dispel all sorrow. Through the Guru's grace, all ignorance is destroyed, revealing the true self. One who serves the True Guru never falls into hell, and all fears vanish. Merge the mind in the True Guru. "He Himself respectfully calls out to His devotees." "One who meditates on this blessing, their obstacles and troubles will not remain." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Prayer and Bhajans
9:55 - 10:46 (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
Keep the original message of Yoga
10:50 - 12:18 (88 min)
Recorded on
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
Unity in spirituality
12:25 - 13:08 (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
The reality is within you
13:15 - 13:52 (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
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
The real disciple
14:00 - 14:39 (39 min)
Recorded on
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 Role of Yoga and Meditation in Improving Quality of Life for Cancer Patients
15:00 - 16:07 (67 min)
Recorded on
Yoga and meditation can improve quality of life for cancer patients when used alongside standard medical care, not as a cure. Studies show yogic interventions, including specific āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation, help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in patients. This improves their sense of well-being during treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, evidence does not support claims that yoga cures cancer. Such false promises are harmful, causing patients to delay effective treatment until their disease becomes advanced and incurable. The principle must be welfare of all, first doing no harm. Yoga is applicable at all stages: for primary prevention through lifestyle, secondary prevention via early diagnosis, and tertiary care to alleviate suffering in advanced disease. More robust, large-scale studies are needed to confirm benefits and identify the most effective techniques. "Please do not give a false hope that your cancer will be cured." "Yogic intervention helps in relieving the stress level of patients and thereby improves their sleep." Filming location: Delhi, India
Oneness
16:15 - 16:47 (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
Peace should come first within us
16:50 - 17:12 (22 min)
Recorded on
Christmas is a time for peace, family, and spiritual devotion. Personal memories of the day vary by climate and culture, yet the universal theme is gathering with loved ones in joy. Spiritually, it commemorates the birth of Jesus, whose message of peace, love, and forgiveness is the essence shared by all religions. Lasting peace must begin within each individual; it is a personal duty to embody these teachings. Devotion, or bhakti, cannot be forced or fabricated; it arises spontaneously from within and its intensity may naturally fluctuate. One cannot impose their devotional feelings on others, but can inspire them to discover their own unique path. The beauty of devotion is universal, regardless of its specific object, and this season invites sharing in that collective spirit of unity and love. "Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me." "Be the change that you want to see." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Self is happiness
17:15 - 17:53 (38 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 155b
Guru and disciple
18:00 - 18:32 (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."

Follow the path
19:30 - 20:47 (77 min)
Recorded on
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
Going to Brahmaloka
20:55 - 21:54 (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
