Life is Soul
0:20 - 0:51 (31 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Bhaktas get peace and happiness when they have Guru Vakya, the words of the Guru. Our root is Sri Alakhpuriji. Where life is there is Soul. That Soul is equal in all of us.
Be careful with the mind
0:55 - 2:18 (83 min)
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.)

Keep the original message of Yoga
2:25 - 3:53 (88 min)
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."

Practicing of the system "Yoga in Daily Life", Level 1 - Part 4, in Om Vishwa Deep Gurukul Swami Maheshwaranand Ashram, Jadan, Rajasthan, India on 23rd of October 2009.
Be conscious in the present
5:10 - 5:54 (44 min)
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."

Guru and disciple
6:00 - 6:32 (32 min)
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."

How can we reach the Supreme?
6:40 - 7:19 (39 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Only bhaktas can come to the Satsang. The story about a rishi who read the Vedas for a very long time. Only reading books can not lead to the Supreme. We need a mantra and the words of the Guru also. Bhajan singing.
We need real dedication
7:25 - 8:23 (58 min)
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 reality is within you
8:30 - 9:07 (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.
"Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam. As long as you have the mercy, the Kṛpā, of Gurudeva, you will be on the good path."

The thread of the Mala
9:15 - 10:06 (51 min)
The thread of saṅkalpa connects all beings. Saṅkalpa is a heartfelt wish or resolution. Your world is bound on that thread. Often you break your word, severing the connection. God is one, regardless of name. We are connected by our wish, which will be fulfilled. The thread is your promise. Do not break it. Customs like sharing salt signify an unbreakable bond. Now, in this age, that human connection is lost. If you make a vow, like fasting, you must keep it. Otherwise, do not make it. Surrender body, mind, wealth, and word. That is the true offering.
"Saṅkalpa means, 'I said, I wished.'"
"If you say yes, it means you are now my friend."

Protect Mother Earth
10:10 - 11:03 (53 min)
A prayer for the protection of Mother Earth.
Humans have destroyed the Earth by extracting oil, coal, and minerals, breaking her body. Mother Earth provides for all creatures, from ants to elephants, yet we live improperly and are often ill. The current age brings pandemics, war, and environmental turmoil. We must act now to protect all life and not kill the Mother. Previous generations respected the Earth, but now knowledge is lost. Do not waste food or water, for they are divine gifts and life itself. Throwing them away is a sin. Live happily and peacefully, keeping the inner light alive, and uplift others through prayer and mantra.
"From the little ant to the elephant, who is feeding them? Not us—Mother Earth."
"Throwing away food is a sin—a sin to destroy food."

Bhajan evening from Jadan Ashram
11:10 - 11:47 (37 min)
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."

Unity in spirituality
11:55 - 12:38 (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."

Purify your body and eat proper food
12:45 - 13:42 (57 min)
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."

Don't ask anything from God
13:45 - 14:35 (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."

The Essence of Prāṇa, Guru, and Disciple
13:50 - 14:48 (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."

The Practice of Śalabhāsana and Complementary Āsanas
15:10 - 16:09 (59 min)
The practice of śalabhāsana and complementary āsanas builds strength and influences consciousness. Śalabhāsana strengthens the posterior muscles and works on self-confidence. Hold the posture with full lungs and descend on the exhalation, though breathe naturally if there is high blood pressure. Remain soft while using strength. It corrects the pelvis and benefits the prostate and menstruation. A variation with hands under the body stretches the digestive tract and is ideal before meditation. Avoid excessive bending in the lumbar area; focus the bend in the thoracic part. Follow with relaxation and pavanamuktāsana to release lower back tension. Sarvāṅgāsana benefits peripheral circulation and balances thyroid function, but avoid it with hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, or during menstruation. It improves circulation to the head and allows a subtle exhalation. Its counterpose is bhuḍaṅgāsana, which stretches the front and strengthens the arms; bend in the chest area, not the most flexible part. Halāsana stretches the back and affects the neck, emphasizing exhalation. Matsyāsana opens the chest, works on the thyroid and breathing, and is performed with inhalation through the nose and exhalation through the mouth. A one-legged balance pose aids concentration and nervous stability. Ardha Matsyendrāsana regenerates the spine and has anti-inflammatory properties. An inverted posture improves circulation to the head and spiritual development. Conclude with Tāḍāsana and Prāṇāyāma. Bhastrikā Prāṇāyāma intensifies the digestive fire and burns waste; relax the abdomen and let breath flow spontaneously without forcing inhalation. Avoid it with a brain tumor or elevated body temperature. Chant Oṁ to withdraw inward.
"Remain soft in the posture, even while using strength."
"In this posture, simply allow one subtle, extended exhalation."

The ways of Purification
16:10 - 17:13 (63 min)
The mantra provides refuge and purification. Recite it mentally in daily life to invoke divine presence and protection. All five elements purify. Earth absorbs impurity, water blesses, air carries life, fire transforms, and space contains all. These elements cleanse body, mind, and atmosphere. Use pure food, breath, and thought for health. Sattvic diet and pranayama remove inner impurities. Joyful practices like song and dance also elevate the spirit. Purification through elements and discipline leads the soul upward.

Going to Brahmaloka
18:10 - 19:09 (59 min)
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.

Past present and future
20:20 - 21:52 (92 min)
The year's end invites reflection on life's purpose and spiritual foundations. Human life is inherently challenging for soul evolution. Collective human actions create karmic pressure on Earth, which returns as global suffering, prompting questioning of purpose. Modern consumer society, distant from natural living, often lacks true life philosophy, leading to selfishness and violence by forgetting Sanātana Dharma's foundational unity. This dharma teaches all beings are connected to one God. Following non-violence is the correct path, as karmic feedback, though delayed, is inevitable. A living Guru embodies these principles, providing a real example of selfless service. In difficult times, one must consciously choose a path of right thought, speech, and action, helping others with a positive heart.
"Human life is always a challenge, because that is actually the purpose of the evolution of the soul."

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.
