Singing mantras for Shiva
0:50 - 1:17 (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."

Jivatma, Atma, Paramatma

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
What means Satsang
2:40 - 3:56 (76 min)
Recorded on
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

Do seva with your heart
5:10 - 6:01 (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

Shakti is everywhere
7:00 - 7:44 (44 min)
Recorded on
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
Stories about Bhagwan Krishna
7:50 - 8:49 (59 min)
Recorded on
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

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." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
The Human Dharma
10:05 - 10:54 (49 min)
Recorded on
The human life is a vehicle to realize the soul and reach the divine source. This body is a temporary conveyance like a train; we leave it at our destination. In this age, fundamental relationships and purity are forgotten, as seen when parents are discarded. Humans consume animal bodies yet ritualistically avoid human corpses, blurring the line between purity and degradation. All life contains the same minute soul, experiencing the same pain. The mother and the earth are both gurus, as life begins from the father's seed within the mother's womb. Every teacher of any skill is a guru, but the one true guru is the divine seed within, connecting us to the eternal tradition. True yoga integrates this understanding with ethical living, not mere physical postures. Chant "Oṁ" from the navel to connect with this inner source. "The body is like an airplane, a train, or a bus. When we reach our destination, we get out." "All contain a jīva, a living being. The tiny drop and the vast ocean are the same." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
Instructions for practising
11:00 - 11:51 (51 min)
Recorded on
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."

In the service of Gurudev
11:55 - 12:55 (60 min)
Recorded on
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."

Kundalini and bhramari pranayama
13:00 - 13:54 (54 min)
Recorded on
The human system is a map of energy, with the chakras and their petals corresponding to the letters of language. The fifty-two petals of the chakras align with the fifty-two letters of the Sanskrit alphabet. This connection reveals language as a divine structure within the body. The mother tongue holds primacy, as the first sound comes from the mother. Understanding this interwoven reality requires study and direct experience, not mere intellectual discussion. Techniques like Brahmari Prāṇāyāma harmonize this inner system. Practice with discipline to awaken knowledge from within. "Within our Hindi letters, within that kuṇḍalinī, within each petal, there is each letter." "Brahmari will release everything for you." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
Yoga and Bhramari Pranayama
14:00 - 14:49 (49 min)
Recorded on
The inner light of practice is found through consistent yoga and pranayama. Asana purifies the body, while pranayama awakens the internal power of prana. This life force is inseparable from the jiva, or individual soul. One specific technique is Brahmari pranayama. It involves closing the ears and listening to the internal sound. This sound reveals imbalances within the body's energy channels. The practice brings peace to the mind and awakens inner light. Hold to one practice with dedication, not changing it daily. "Yoga is not just asana and pranayama; that is a little for the body." "Hold on to it and hold on to it." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
Be patient and faithful
14:30 - 15:28 (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

Around the world - Practice in Ukraine
15:00 - 15:50 (50 min)
Recorded on
Begin the practice of āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Close the eyes and attune to the practice. Scan and relax the entire body. Observe the complete yogic breath. The first āsana is Ānanda Āsana, the posture of relaxation. Lie down comfortably and consciously relax each part of the body. Physical relaxation leads to spiritual relaxation. This posture must be performed at the beginning and end of every session. Next, train in abdominal breathing by placing a hand on the abdomen and observing its movement. Conscious abdominal breathing leads to relaxation and improves circulation. Practice stretching the body by extending the limbs in rhythm with the breath. This releases accumulated tension. Perform head turns and twists while lying down to increase spinal mobility and harmonize the breath. Always observe the effect of each exercise. Move through shoulder exercises while standing to relax and strengthen the joints. Shift body weight from leg to leg to strengthen muscles and improve balance. Conclude by returning to Ānanda Āsana. Scan the body and observe the deepening relaxation. Gradually conclude the practice by moving the fingers and toes. Rise carefully, always moving from lying down through a transitional seated position. "Physical relaxation leads to spiritual relaxation." "Conscious abdominal breathing leads to physical and spiritual relaxation." Filming location: UK
Open eyes means equal vision
15:55 - 16:37 (42 min)
Recorded on
Strive for Self-realization through equal vision and inner wealth. The saint Sūradāsa implores the divine to overlook his faults, acknowledging God as possessing equal vision, samadṛṣṭi. When a master or friend makes distinctions based on status or wealth, the relationship is not genuine; it should be non-dual. True disciples are rich not in money but in the wisdom of the lineage, a completeness that remains full. Knots in the heart, formed by likes and dislikes, are the source of suffering. To see all equally is to open the eye of knowledge and love. Judging others as inferior stems from blindness; searching one's own heart reveals one's own faults. Contentment is true wealth, while craving material possessions is a burden that enslaves. Perform good deeds, give blessings, and help those in need. The essence of all scripture is that giving pleasure brings pleasure, and giving trouble brings trouble. "Prabhujī mere avaguṇa chitta na dharo. Samadṛṣṭi hai nām tihāro, chahe to pār karo." "Jab dil khojā apnā, mujhse burā nahī̃." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Who will liberate us?
16:40 - 17:14 (34 min)
Recorded on
The unity of all spiritual paths and the essential grace of the guru are paramount. All teachings and religions are one, as all beings are God's children. We respect all holy books and figures, including Jesus on this Christmas day. The divine essence—whether called Viṣṇu, Śiva, or another name—is singular. We must transcend duality, recognizing our shared humanity and fostering humility and peace. The mind must be controlled through yoga. The guru provides the essential knowledge for liberation, surpassing even parental guidance. Life's attachments, like a spider's web, ultimately trap us. At death, no relative or friend can free the soul; only the Satguru can offer true refuge and lead one beyond the cycle. "Guru Kṛupāhi Kevalaṁ Śiṣyaki Ānanda Maṅgalaṁ. When the Gurudeva is there, the disciple is happy, full of joy." "Without Satgurus, we come there, you are not in that knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Keep the original message of Yoga
18:20 - 19:48 (88 min)
Recorded on
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
