The Bhagavad Gītā teaches the superiority of worshipping the divine in a personal, physical form. In the Uddhava Prakaraṇa, Lord Kṛṣṇa sends his learned friend Uddhava to console the grieving residents of Vṛndāvana. Uddhava, an adherent of formless, non-dualistic knowledge, goes to preach to them. He finds Yaśodā and the gopīs in profound sorrow from Kṛṣṇa's absence. When Uddhava lectures on the omnipresent, formless Brahman, the gopīs challenge him. They point out the contradiction in his dualistic act of teaching separate individuals while preaching non-duality. The gopīs, embodying deep devotional wisdom, reveal that Kṛṣṇa is always with them in spirit despite his physical absence. This experience shatters Uddhava's intellectual stance. He realizes the supreme power of devotion to the personal form. Overwhelmed with love, his return journey becomes a prolonged ecstatic communion. He ultimately embraces the path of bhakti, understanding that direct experience surpasses mere scriptural knowledge. "‘If everything is Brahma, then who are you giving your lecture to?’" "‘You were stuck on your Advaita philosophy. Now, by sending you there... you got this knowledge through that experience.’" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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

A heart's plea for grace to make life meaningful and for transformation into a selfless lover. The mind does not know what to do, creating nothing of its own. Life is spent in worldly attachments, day and night seeking personal gain, enduring sorrow for pleasure. The plea is for such compassion that life is not known as useless. The mind has tried many things but has built nothing of its own. The call is to become a selfless lover, a brother to the world, with the heart filled with all beings. The aspiration is to be made into a knower of bliss. "He na te ab to aisī dayā ho, jīvan nirarthak jāne na pāyī." "Apne ku niṣkām premi banāu, ko chāu pāu sansār kā bhāī."

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

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

The power of bhajan and sādhanā is essential for human life. Without prayer, bhajan, and meditation, life is incomplete. Singing bhajan connects consciousness and relieves the day's tensions, bringing peace to the heart and mind. This practice leads to restful sleep and good dreams. Many have lost the discipline of daily prayer and sādhanā, while others find it through Sanatana Dharma. Bhajan and satsang align one with truth. However, singing is futile if followed by gossip or negative thought. The devotional act must transform the inner state. Spiritual practice requires consistent focus to avoid distraction and negative dreaming. "Without prayers, without bhajans, without meditation, human life is not without all these sādhanās." "After bhajan, we should go to sleep, no gossiping after that, no negative thinking." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The soul is caught in the mortal body, a condition shared by all creatures, yet humans possess unique knowledge. The fundamental inquiry is into the nature of the Ātmā, which is presumed to be within but remains unseen. Many believe existence ends with the body, while others hold beliefs of heaven, hell, or merging with God. Theory is insufficient; personal experiential practice is essential. The story of the bandit Vālmīki illustrates that even the most burdened soul can be liberated through single-pointed devotion and mantra repetition, transforming into a great sage. The human body is a divine temple, a Garbhagṛha where the soul resides, and must be respected and kept pure. One must persist in practice with devotion and alertness to realize the truth within. "Neither this side nor that side, but it is there. It is there where you are, so you have to experience the practice and see for yourself personally." "In every temple is your statue, but I cannot see your face, my Lord. Oh my Lord, you are living in every heart. But I want to see you." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

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."

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

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

The Guru's grace is the sole means for spiritual attainment and worldly fulfillment. The Guru is the embodiment of divine principles, identical to Śiva, Viṣṇu, and the supreme Brahman. All spiritual practice, from meditation to liberation, originates from the Guru. The disciple's mind is like a flowing river, often caught in circular, worldly thoughts. Entering the ashram is like a pure drop of water seeking the ocean; one must consciously direct the mind's flow toward the divine. Without this discipline, even a long life of practice can be wasted, as the mind falls back into impurity. The Guru's seat is a sacred trust, requiring constant purity to occupy. The goal is to merge the individual consciousness into the boundless ocean of the absolute. "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt Parabrahma." "Dhyāna Mūlam Guru Mūrti, Pūjā Mūlam Guru Padam, Mantra Mūlam Guru Vākya, Mokṣa Mūlam Guru Kṛpā." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Satsaṅg is the company of truth and spiritual association, while kusaṅg is negative company. A disciple wished to attend a festival, but his Gurujī gave him a peacock feather to view the crowd. Through it, he saw the gathering as a mass of fighting animals, except for a small group who remained human in appearance. He realized the crowd's internal qualities were base, though their external forms were human. He immediately returned to the pure company of his teacher. The body may appear human, but the inner quality defines one's nature. Therefore, seek satsaṅg. Do not outwardly declare others as not good, but regard all with good heart and thought. Positive energy may then flow, potentially leading them to good company in time. "Through the feather, he saw only animals in the crowd, but when he looked without it, they appeared as humans." "Therefore, satsaṅg. Satsaṅg is good things." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Worldly joy is fleeting and contains hidden sorrow, but divine joy is endless. Human happiness is brief and intertwined with suffering, for every gain conceals equal or greater pain. Only the Supreme One's joy is boundless. An incarnate liberator provides a living refuge beyond scriptures. Merely reading teachings without following them brings no solution. True peace is found not in escape but in unwavering devotion to that divine source. "Blessed is the land where the Divine Soul incarnates, Satguru Dev." "We are those birds. We want to fly away... Again, only in God can we come and rest." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 183b

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Simhasth Kumbha Mela in Ujjain, India. Shiva consciousness and energy is present in the whole Universe. Our being is one with Shiva like a drop of water is one with the ocean. Nothing is without Shiva.

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

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."
