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

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."

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."

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

Welcome to the practice of Yoga in Daily Life, a complete system for health and spiritual development. This system originates from an authentic Himalayan lineage. It is presented in a book of eight levels, each containing physical, breathing, and mental exercises, including purification techniques and meditation. A core principle is Karma Yoga, the practice of selfless service and love for all beings. The practice also advocates a vegetarian lifestyle. Today's session continues from Level One. The practice integrates postures, breath control, and deep relaxation to harmonize body and mind. "The light and teaching of this yoga science passed through an authentic and uninterrupted stream of wisdom." "Prāṇāyāma not only influences the physical body but also the brain centres, balancing both hemispheres to regain the harmony that is the aim of a yoga life."

Yoga is the science of humans and a natural way of life. Its first principle is vegetation, which is Āyurveda, an ancient medicine from the Yugas. Modern medicine, while life-saving, is chemical and not fully accepted by the natural body, unlike remedies from plants. Our way of eating has been lost, and white sugar is a major cause of disease. The tongue enslaves us to taste, leading to illness. Āyurveda encompasses diet and was once so advanced it included surgeries like those on the brain. Yoga is not acrobatics; it is a scientific system for a long, healthy life. Many practice it incorrectly, which can cause harm. True yoga involves physical exercise, breathing, concentration, and meditation. We are all God, and our actions determine our fate. The practice should be shared freely for community health. "Yoga is the science of humans. Yoga is a natural way of life." "If we do good, we will get good. If we do bad, we will go bad." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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 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 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 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

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

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 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 potency of devotion and love enables divine intervention. The Sanjīvanī herb shines at night on a Himalayan hill. Firm devotion provides messengers with telepathic communication. Rāvaṇa sent a demon disguised as a sage to trick Hanumān at a lake, claiming a bath was required for the herb to work. A demon transformed into a crocodile attacked Hanumān, who destroyed it. The demon then used magic to make all herbs shine, confusing identification. Hanumān, embodying strength and intelligence, lifted mountains on his journey. Messengers informed Rāvaṇa of an approaching enemy. Bharata, in an inconsistent account, shot an arrow meant for Rāma that struck Hanumān. The narrative shifts to describe love's unbreakable bond, illustrated by Kṛṣṇa being bound by a gopī's thread of love. As dawn approaches and Lakṣmaṇa's life fades, Rāma despairs over Hanumān's return. "There is no force that can bind me, but there is one thread—that of love—in which I become entwined; it does not break away from me." "Hanumān, when will you come to be with us? Bhagavān Rāma says, 'I do not know for myself.'" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A new ashram opens to teach the universal path of yoga, a science of body, mind, and soul for inner peace and health. This place was prepared over many years by volunteers spreading authentic yoga, not as a business. Yoga is an ancient universal science of balance and harmony originating with Śiva, beyond any single religion. It is a tool for modern life, where one must find willpower and time for practice amidst societal haste. The practice requires careful, daily effort without competition, adaptable for all ages and conditions. Its ultimate aim is to realize one's relation with the Supreme, fostering health, peace, and universal brotherhood. The future depends on educating children in this spiritual knowledge. "Yoga is universal. So I see your centers... as centers of universal brotherhood." "Yoga means balance, harmony, and unity." Filming location: Slovenia

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

A name holds the power to shape identity and destiny. A story illustrates how a divine being received the name Hanuman, meaning "swollen jaw," after an incident. This being's father, the wind, stopped blowing in anger, causing universal suffering until the gods intervened. The name given at birth ties one to the body and its karma, often carrying burdens from parental mental states. A spiritual name offers liberation from this limited identification. It acts as a second mantra, a divine vibration to be realized. Faithfully identifying with it awakens its deeper meaning, transforming one's consciousness. The ultimate example is the power of God's name, which can grant liberation even when called without spiritual intent. "A name has such power... The name of God is even stronger than God Himself." "When Swāmījī gives us a yoga name, it is like a second mantra. It is something to realize."

The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect. "If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere." "The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 155b
