The inner marriage is the oneness of the individual soul and the supreme soul. Many techniques exist, but the path leads to a single point. A yogi sees peace in all. Worldly marriage is a ceremony, but true union is internal. The soul, separated like a drop from the ocean, must return to become the ocean itself. This reunion is the ultimate marriage, an inseparable merging. Spiritual practice and the grace of the Guru guide this journey. The body contains immense power and energy centers, or chakras, which are part of this path. True masters exist everywhere, often unrecognized. The goal is that oneness. "Marriage means not only making ceremonies; marriage means oneness." "As soon as we pour this drop into the ocean, now there is neither you nor me." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Mind and desires
1:45 - 2:37 (52 min)
Recorded on
A mantra is the mind's tool for liberation. The restless mind cannot be controlled by force, like a football in a game you cannot hold. The essence is to transcend the mind and its desires. A poem states: "The mind has died, but 'mine-ness' has not died; the body dies again and again." Desires are illusions, like a mirage of water on a road that retreats as you approach. Hope and thirst bind you. True knowledge sees the reflection for what it is. The path requires purifying the elements and letting go of desire. "The mind has died, but 'mine-ness' has not died; the body dies again and again." "Hope and thirst have not died, says Dāsa Kabīr." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Knowledge is Endless
2:45 - 3:55 (70 min)
Recorded on
Knowledge is an endless flow called Vidyā or Saraswatī. This learning is inherent in consciousness and constantly moves forward like a river. Humans are on this path of Vidyā, which has no end, so one must not stop. All actions, even sweeping, constitute Vidyā when done without ego. The ego is an obstruction to this flow. Languages are diverse, yet they converge into oneness like clouds. Complete alphabets, like the 52 letters of Devanagari, relate to the brain's hemispheres and the body's chakras. The Kuṇḍalinī Śakti ascends through eight centers: Mūlādhāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, Maṇipūra, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, Ājñā, Bindu, and Sahasrāra. The resonance of mantra Oṁ travels from the navel to the crown. This is Kriyā Śakti, the power in action. True knowledge encompasses purity, intellect, and wisdom, represented by Saraswatī, who is beyond even the trinity of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. Without reverence for this knowledge, one lives without direction. "Vidyā is not only something you need to learn and read again from what you have learned. It is in your consciousness, in your mind, in your thoughts, in your feelings." "Those who have purity, intellect, and knowledge, then you are perfect always, no problem. Otherwise, we are like animals." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (3/9)
4:00 - 5:33 (93 min)
Recorded on
A guided yoga practice integrates movement, breath, and awareness. Begin by feeling the body's contact with the floor, focusing on the spine. Proceed through a sequence of postures, coordinating each motion with the breath. Maintain awareness of specific body parts, such as the ankles during leg circles or the shoulder blades during twists. The practice includes variations of poses like spinal twists, leg raises, and forward bends. Breath observation is central; feel the inhalation moving from stomach to throat and the exhalation reversing this path. Conclude with prāṇāyāma and mantra repetition, emphasizing presence and the relaxation of the body and mind. "Try to feel your inhalation moving from your stomach to your throat, and your exhalation moving from your throat to your stomach." "Remain aware of your motion. Continue making large circles, and slowly finish." Filming location: Umag, Croatia
Try to open the lock
5:40 - 5:59 (19 min)
Recorded on
Oneness is the divine reality encompassing all beings. We exist as a small part of a vast creation, living in water, on earth, and in the sky. The Supreme has brought all life into being. Humans, as God's children, were given divine capability. Yet, claiming independence led to negativity and conflict. The solution is likened to opening a locked mala. The divine Name serves as the key to this lock. By focusing on a single, sacred name, one accesses the treasure within. This practice transcends all divisions, restoring harmony. "God gave everything to their children... What God can do, the human can do everything." "The best is on this one name... That is the best name." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Hatha Yoga Kriyas (2/3)
6:00 - 6:27 (27 min)
Recorded on
Trāṭak is the sixth Haṭha Yoga purification, a practice of gazing on one point to concentrate and purify the sight. It uses a candle flame, a black spot, or the rising or setting sun, never direct sunlight. The flame is placed at arm's length, which strengthens eyesight and helps those who are short- or far-sighted. It trains the mind to focus on one point, calming scattered thoughts and vrittis, leading toward one-pointedness and meditation. Practice requires a peaceful place without drafts or disturbances, wearing loose, natural clothing to contain energy. The ideal flame height is at the heart center, as gazing on the outer light opens the heart chakra and leads to perception of the inner light. Pure ghee lamps are best, but a non-smoking plant-based candle is acceptable. Begin by gazing at the middle of the flame for 30 seconds, then close the eyes to observe the afterimage, repeating this cycle three times. Keep the body and eyes still, relaxing the eyebrow center. Do not practice if overly tired, or if experiencing schizophrenia or depression. "Trāṭak is not relaxation; it is not meditation. It is concentration." "Take this light, this flame, inside. This light is the symbol of the highest Self." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Darshan of Sri Alakhpuriji
6:35 - 7:53 (78 min)
Recorded on
Two opposing forces exist within every person. One force brings happiness, peace, and health, leading to long life and good relations. The other brings anger, hatred, and restlessness, which harms the body. The tongue holds great power; it can destroy or bring joy with a single word. These two forces—peace and distraction—reside within, reacting to all external news, good or bad. Even a painful tooth and a persistent tongue illustrate internal conflict, where one word can escalate strife. True practice requires cultivating peace in every cell, beyond mere physical yoga. Control these inner forces to determine the quality of one's joy. "The tongue can kill us, destroy us. That one word which can come from it... can also make everyone so happy." "Learn to know these two things: distraction and the creators. Peace or no peace, restlessness. They are within our body." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Message of the three monkeys
8:00 - 9:06 (66 min)
Recorded on
The ātmā is present in all living beings, and we must respect this universal life. Every entity with life contains the ātmā and the five elements. This includes humans, animals, and plants. Respecting all life is the path to sainthood; otherwise, karma determines our next birth. We must guard our senses: do not listen to negativity, do not see bad things, and speak only good words, as harmful speech returns to us. Animals possess the same elements and feelings as humans, only without speech. We must avoid harming others through body, mind, or speech. True service is helping those in need, like an intoxicated person. The label "fanatic" is often misused out of jealousy against those pursuing peace, humility, and non-violence. All genuine religious devotion is valid; differences are only in words. We should respect all faiths and never criticize them negatively. Our advanced human knowledge should not create tools for cruelty, like slaughter, but should honor the one truth within all. "Life is everywhere, and we shall respect that life. Then you become a saint, a great saint." "And that is called tanse, manse, or bachanse. Tanse, with the body. Manse, through the mind. And third, the worst, if we can purify this, we are pure."

Guru is Brahma
9:10 - 10:15 (65 min)
Recorded on
The value lies in singular focus and the grace found at the Guru's feet. Having one sacred image or mantra prevents confusion, especially at the moment of death. Collecting many pictures or mantras dilutes their power, like inflation devaluing currency. True devotion is shown through profound respect for a single point of focus. The Guru's guidance, though sometimes challenging, is always correct. The Guru's physical form, particularly the feet, is a profound source of grace and liberation. Sacred relics like nail clippings or sand from the Guru's footsteps are considered the highest prasāda, carrying transformative power for the devoted disciple. This devotion is the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and ultimate liberation. "Imagine in the moment of our death, what will be? If we are also repeating so many mantras from so many masters, in the moment of our death, it will be a mishmash." "Dhyāna mūlaṁ guru mūrtiḥ, pūjā mūlaṁ guru padam, mantra mūlaṁ guru vākyaṁ, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpā." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Transferring the ancient knowledge
10:20 - 11:21 (61 min)
Recorded on
Ayurveda and Yoga are ancient sciences of body, mind, and soul. The knowledge was transmitted verbally from master to disciple, known as Śruti, and through memory, called Smṛti. Human memory has declined due to reliance on writing and technology. Ancient research was more perfect, preserved in scriptures that cannot be changed. Ayurveda provides remedies from powerful herbs, where quality, not quantity, is key, and requires following strict dietary principles. Yoga begins with discipline practiced now, not tomorrow. The primary cause of all mental and physical disease is worry, called cintā. Citta is the fire of the funeral pyre. The solution is cintana and svādhyāya—reflective prayer and the study of sacred texts or oneself. Close your eyes, meditate, and practice mantra to overcome worry. Complete the chapters of your life. Do not procrastinate; begin your discipline now. Give up cintā, for what is lost is lost. "Cintā only is the one cause—the cintā." "The best way is cintana." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand
Preserving health
11:25 - 12:24 (59 min)
Recorded on
Health arises from proper nourishment, purification, and governing the inner self. The root of disease, including cancer, is diet. Modern medicine uses chemicals the natural body rejects. Veganism is praised for avoiding animal suffering, though even vegetables and honey are now compromised. True healing comes from seasonal, local foods eaten in variety, not global imports. The body is a kingdom hosting countless lives, not a single soul. Purify through yogic practices like Śaṅkaprakṣālana. Forgive others and release anger, as negative thoughts create illness. Realize your spiritual nature now; do not wait. "Āyurveda said that my body is natural and Āyurveda is also natural. So that is how we can expect, accept, and hope that something will be healed in the body." "Therefore, many people eat ahiṃsā. That is pure ahiṃsā. Ahiṃsā is many, many things. So, this part they are doing as vegans is very good." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Be patient and faithful
12:30 - 13:28 (58 min)
Recorded on
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
Do seva with your heart
13:35 - 14:26 (51 min)
Recorded on
True seva is the greatest spiritual practice, requiring the complete offering of one's being. Seva must be given with the full heart, not reluctantly. It is defined as tan, man, and bachan. Tan is offering the entire body in service. Man is offering the mind completely, without discrimination between people. Bachan is offering speech, where words must bring happiness and love. These three must be followed. Greed destroys this offering, while the humble immediacy of a child exemplifies it. Observing common courtesies, like allowing elders to proceed, reflects this knowledge. In gatherings, one should avoid disruptive actions. Dhana is not money; true dhana is what comes sincerely from the heart. Money is transient and often a source of corruption. The ultimate desire is not for wealth or heavens, but for the seva itself. "Seva is greater than anything. All sādhanā, all meditations, all mantras come afterward; seva is the greatest." "I don’t need money, and I don’t need any heavens or anything. I only want to have seva in you." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Understand the words of Gurudev
14:00 - 14:57 (57 min)
Recorded on
A disciple must learn to listen to wisdom from all sources, not only the guru's direct words. A guru tested a devoted disciple by sending him to a village. The guru had instructed all villagers to avoid dangers like a mad elephant. When the disciple encountered such an elephant, he relied only on his general confidence in the guru's protection, ignoring the villagers' specific warnings to flee. The elephant threw him, causing injury. The guru explained the failure: the disciple heard the guru's general assurance but did not heed the guru's practical instruction delivered through the villagers. True understanding requires discerning and following all guidance, from family, neighbors, and even warnings in nature. Blind, literal faith without situational awareness is misunderstanding. One must listen humbly to all voices. "Gurujī said yes, right? But all my bhaktas told you, 'Don’t come close to the elephant.'" "You did not listen to that, and that’s why it happened."

Guru is only one
14:30 - 15:20 (50 min)
Recorded on
The Guru, mantra, and spiritual practice are essential in Kali Yuga. This age is marked by anger and disease globally. Those following a sattvic diet and yoga practice remained healthy, as research shows. The science of yoga provides protection. Mantra practice is paramount, and the mantra given by one's Guru is fundamental. The Guru's word is the true essence, not the physical form. One must not seek a second initiating guru, though one may listen to all saints. All life originates from the same source, like drops from one ocean. Spiritual progress requires meditation, mantra, and adherence to the Guru's word. "Only one guru you have, your guru." "Do not think of the body of the guru... that mantra which is given by the guru is like a seed planted in your body." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
In reality there is no birth and death
15:25 - 16:13 (48 min)
Recorded on
The true birth is the soul's descent from the cosmic source, not a single calendar day. This journey cycles through all forms—plants, animals, and humans—in an endless ring with no clear beginning. The soul itself is eternal and unchanging, while we experience the three states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Most people live in confusion, identifying with temporary roles and relationships that scatter like birds flying to unknown trees. True freedom is realized by those who understand their eternal nature, not those who claim spiritual titles out of ego. Worship of form is a starting point, but the divine consciousness is one, beyond all geographical or human distinctions. The goal is to realize the true self, which merely rests in the body as a traveler rests under a tree. "Where will it fly? Those who think that I am, I am a saint, I will be this, I am this and that... then you know, there is a very good someone taught this on the top." "Ātmā is, ātmā is the ātmā, amara, that we call amara. Amar means forever." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Why is God only in India?
16:20 - 16:55 (35 min)
Recorded on
The Kali Yuga demands a turn to spiritual practice. Humanity began in a primitive state, without knowledge of divinity. Now, in this difficult age, destructive actions like mining and pollution threaten the earth. Many do not recognize the divine presence, only acknowledging it in retrospect. A spiritual quality persists in some lands and in great saints. Yet, prevalent pursuits are alcohol, meat, and distraction, not prayer or satsang. The hope is for spiritual preservation amidst this decline. The essential practice now is prayer and turning consciousness toward the cosmic. "Where there is gold in the earth, it will come the gold, and where there is coal, it will come the coal." "Now it is time for us to practice more spirituality and prayer."

Singing mantras for Shiva
17:00 - 17:27 (27 min)
Recorded on
The glory of the Gurudeva, who is verily Lord Śiva, is the central theme. Sitting near the holy Gurudeva is a great fortune from past karma. Somatī Amāvasyā is an auspicious day for prayer, followed by Navarātri and the new year. Two hymns will be sung: the Śiva Tāṇḍava Stotram, sung by Rāvaṇa who received a golden kingdom through tapasyā, and the Śiva Rudrāṣṭakam, sung by Śrī Rām through inner devotion. The Gurudeva's infinite glory cannot be captured in words, only felt through bhakti. Liberation comes solely through this devotion and the Gurudeva's grace. "Na jānāmi yogam japannaiva pūjāṃ... I do not know worship, but I am your bhakta by way of a very clean heart." "You are the only means by which we can attain liberation. There is no other way, only your bhakti."

Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
17:35 - 17:57 (22 min)
Recorded on
The essence is the unstruck sound, the Anāhada, realized through devotion beyond form and thought. This is not an experience of the body or mind. It is beyond all attributes, beyond the forms of Rama or any shadow. It is the formless void that holds the supreme form. Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it. It is understood only through the grace of the true Guru. One must surrender at the divine feet, seeking mercy and blessings for liberation. The devotional offering is the path. "Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it." "Please bless me with your blessings, I request you, O Guru." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Knowledge is an endless flow called Vidyā or Saraswatī. This learning is inherent in consciousness and constantly moves forward like a river. Humans are on this path of Vidyā, which has no end, so one must not stop. All actions, even sweeping, constitute Vidyā when done without ego. The ego is an obstruction to this flow. Languages are diverse, yet they converge into oneness like clouds. Complete alphabets, like the 52 letters of Devanagari, relate to the brain's hemispheres and the body's chakras. The Kuṇḍalinī Śakti ascends through eight centers: Mūlādhāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, Maṇipūra, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, Ājñā, Bindu, and Sahasrāra. The resonance of mantra Oṁ travels from the navel to the crown. This is Kriyā Śakti, the power in action. True knowledge encompasses purity, intellect, and wisdom, represented by Saraswatī, who is beyond even the trinity of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva.

Awake happiness inside
19:20 - 20:29 (69 min)
Recorded on
Heaven and hell are within the human being, not in external realms. This understanding is our current theme. The global situation has prompted reflection. A purification is occurring, particularly affecting those with certain lifestyles. Those maintaining vegetarian or pure diets have shown resilience. This period has forced introspection, with many experiencing depression due to isolation and economic loss. Yet, it has also reunited families and revived cultural and spiritual exploration. The human experience contains both joy and fear, unlike animals who operate on a simpler plane of existence. Our inner state dictates our reality. Practice is essential. Cultivate inner joy and maintain daily spiritual discipline, such as yoga and mindful living. Protect your inner purity, for negative thoughts can spoil everything, while positive destiny, or kismat, resides within and cannot be stolen. "Svarga and Naraka, the heaven and the hell, both are on the earth." "If you have everything beautiful... but just for a little, you are angry... all your good things are again stolen, gone."
