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

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."

Morning Yoga excercise according to system Yoga in Daily Life from Mahaprabhudeep Ashram, Strilky, Czech Republic.

Destiny unfolds through our karma and latent potential, not merely external fortune. The soul's journey is one of consciousness seeking oneness, yet we are shaped by past actions. Goodness or knowledge alone does not elevate us; a karmic heaviness can pull us down like a diamond sinking in the ocean. Our inner will and surrender determine if dormant treasures surface. Destiny shifts: a shepherd may become a prince, then a scholar, then renounce all, as with the poet Kālidāsa. All religions once emerged from one Sanātana Dharma, which remains a living tradition through continual guidance. Other paths are seen as concluded, having fixed their scriptures as final authority. Our present circumstances, whether royal or humble, are tests of faith and instruments for ultimate reunion. The cycle of time will eventually restore a harmonious order. "If you have in your hands, anyone can take out, but what you have in yourself, no one can take away. They cannot take your destiny." "All five elements come together, then become this one body."

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 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

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."

The sacred month of Śrāvaṇa holds wisdom connecting tradition, nature, and life. Trees like the banyan and pīpal are revered, seen as personifications of the divine and providers of continuous oxygen. Unmarried daughters perform rituals, offering water and tying threads to the pīpal tree with hopes for a blessed marriage. Life decisions, especially marriage, must transcend mere emotion or beauty. Lasting union requires alignment through Jyotiṣa, the celestial science, to avoid future suffering for couples and their children. Authentic Jyotiṣa must come from a genuine Brāhmaṇa lineage, not those who commercialize it. Spiritual practice begins with perfecting mantra pronunciation, progressing from speech to writing to silent mental repetition, ultimately becoming automatic. This integration of outer discipline and inner alignment is the true path. "Do not marry because of love. Do not make it only an emotion." "The one who says, 'No, I do not need anything. I will do this.' ... Only that one can do the jyotiṣa who is of this caste of the jyotiṣa." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The foundation of practice is knowledge, discipline, and adaptation. Each posture has a specific effect, and the sequence is crucial. When you adopt a system, you must follow its fixed procedures. However, you must know your own bodily capacity and limitations. If a posture causes pain or is contraindicated for your condition, you must avoid it. This is an individual matter. The teacher's first duty is to know what to do and what not to do for themselves and their students. Practice must be consistent; knowledge unused is lost. Yoga is a comprehensive science for mastering oneself, not merely physical movements. You must preserve and transmit knowledge, otherwise it perishes. "Every yoga teacher's first duty and priority is to know what to do and what not to do for themselves." "Knowledge must be renewed daily; otherwise, we are lost."

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

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."

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

The divine order governs life, from daily activity to nightly restoration. A healthy, long life comes from simple, plant-based nourishment; meat, alcohol, and animal products are not for human consumption. True spirituality means loving all creatures, not eating them. Many lack this knowledge due to their culture. Observing religious ceremonies while supporting animal slaughter is a profound contradiction. Respect divine imagery; do not create composite pictures of yourself with Alakpurījī. Stand humbly in prayer, but maintain respectful distance. Alakpurījī is the non-visible, quality-less divine essence, made visible through yogic power and deep meditation. The eternal world exists in dimensions beyond the physical, accessible through spiritual practice. "It is said in that, 'O men, if you have only one handful of little rice, the whole day is more than enough to live.'" "Spiritual means not God; spiritual means love all creatures, give them feed. Love them, but don’t eat them." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

We mark 25 years of teaching Yoga in Daily Life here, a voluntary mission from an authentic Indian school. We secured our own space, now becoming a blessed ashram. We have brought yoga to schools, libraries, and communities for all ages through dedicated effort. Yoga is ancient, a science of body, mind, and soul, intertwined with Āyurveda as natural knowledge for health. It is not passive meditation but active practice for concentration and peace. Its universal message is recognized internationally. We must return to natural living, embracing yoga and Āyurveda for well-being, seeing all cultures and people as one family under God.

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 inner light and the practice of trāṭak reveal the soul's journey. The soul enters the body like a seed finding its place, guided by an inner light from the navel. This light is the jīva, the soul itself, present in all creation. Every seed, tree, and creature possesses inner eyes that seek their destined path through concentration. This seeking is trāṭak. The story of a guru saving a devotee at sea illustrates the power of this inner connection. The guru's astral body traveled and returned through the navel center, or nābhi, demonstrating that true sight is inward. All external vision is secondary to this inner light, which connects the individual soul to the universal. "Every seed again gives eyes to the roots." "Trāṭak of the nābhi and Gurujī came."

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.

Yoga is the universal principle of the energy that harmonizes consciousness and space. The endless universe, Anant Brahmāṇḍ, is pure consciousness unified with space. Between consciousness and space exists a balancing Śakti, the yoga energy or yoga māyā. This invisible energy creates, maintains, and dissolves all manifestation. That supreme consciousness, one with this energy and space, is the body of Śiva. The first resonance from that consciousness is the sound Aum, from which all creation manifests. This same yoga śakti harmonizes every system within the five-element body and the individual soul. One is part of this cosmic play and must turn with it. Realization of this unity is the aim. Until then, rebirth continues according to karma, not by personal choice. Human life is an opportunity for this realization through love and spiritual practice. Physical postures and breath are merely a way toward this yoga. The presence of a master or meditation on the guru aids this upliftment. Purify the heart. What you wish from others, you must first give. "The beauty is indescribable, the light is indescribable, but there is no moon and no sun." "The flower which I want to surrender to you, I could not find that flower." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

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.
