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

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 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."

Practicing of the system "Yoga in Daily Life", Level 3 - Part 2, in Om Vishwa Deep Gurukul Swami Maheshwaranand Ashram, Jadan, Rajasthan, India on 27th of October 2009.

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 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

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 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

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."

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 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 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."

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 hidden strength within is revealed upon meeting the divine. A story illustrates this. As a boy, Hanuman, unaware of his powers, acted mischievously. The gods granted him great strengths but hid them from his awareness for his own safety. These latent powers remained concealed within him. He only became conscious of them after meeting Rama. This is a metaphor for the human condition. An inner curtain of ignorance hides the divine reality within everyone. One must first acknowledge this possibility within oneself. True health is to be established in the self. The approach of spiritual practice is not to fight every fault but to fill oneself with good through mantra, prayer, and satsang. Progress is seen in changed reactions and steadfastness. The powers were always there, simply awaiting revelation. "Everybody, everything is here. But that curtain of ignorance which hides the reality within ourselves... keeps it from us, perhaps until we are responsible enough to be aware of it." "The approach of our sādhanā is to fill ourselves with good things. Let our faults be there, and let us slowly just shove them out." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

First Vishwagurujis visit to Romania.

New Year satsang from Blanicka Yoga Centre Prague.

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

The soil of this land is sacred, and every child is divine. This body is a temple, and every person is a helper. Each child is an idol, a manifestation of the divine. All beings seek happiness; this universal principle is your true reality. Spirituality leads there through mantra, meditation, prayer, and satsaṅg. Without satsaṅg, happiness and spiritual development are impossible. Impulses to avoid satsaṅg arise from past karmas awakening. Spirituality means purity, happiness, forgiveness, clarity, and fearless action. Do not fear death. Human life is unique among 8.4 million life forms; humans are spiritual protectors. Do not declare yourself unhappy or unloved. Purify yourself through action, nourishment, good company, reading, meditation, mantra, prayer, and song. A spiritual family is built on harmony, not conflict; parents must love each other and raise children with great love. Spirituality resides at home in a tolerant, respectful family, not only in temples. Lead a life with pure thoughts and sattvic nourishment. "Every creature wishes to attain happiness and to overcome unhappiness." "Spirituality means pure thinking, pure thoughts, pure nourishment." Filming location: Perth, Australia

The unity of Śiva and Śakti is the non-dual foundation of creation and spiritual practice. The entire world is one family under one divine source. Śiva is Svayaṃbhu, the self-manifested source from the five elements, and the author of yoga. Śakti is the universal power or energy present in all things, not a gender. Every person contains this essence. Two fundamental powers exist from creation: Daivī Śakti, the divine power of protection and love, and Āsurī Śakti, the power of ignorance, hate, and cruelty. Darkness is removed by igniting the inner light of knowledge. All dualities in the body, like the two hemispheres of the brain or the two eyes, reflect this united energy. Through consistent practice and willpower, one cultivates the divine power to heal and achieve enlightenment. "Śiva is the one who is called Svayaṃbhu. Svayaṃbhū means no one has created him—neither mother nor father." "Darkness will not go, but we just make a little light within, in no time, darkness is gone." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

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
