A call to serious, daily yoga practice is essential for health and purification. Many appear as practitioners but do not practice consistently at home, leading to physical problems. The body naturally produces vikāras (illnesses) and is dominated by the tamas and rajas guṇas. A sāttvic body, free from vikāra, must be cultivated through disciplined effort. When the body is impure, the mind and intellect become clouded with negative thoughts and dullness. This obscures one's reality. Therefore, consistent practice of āsana, prāṇāyāma, and cleansing techniques is the only means of thorough purification. Daily discipline, along with seasonal Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and weekly Kuñjalakriyā, prevents health issues. Diet must also become sāttvic, avoiding meat and eggs, while learning how and when to eat properly. The foundation is purifying āhāra (diet), vihāra (recreation), ācāra (behavior), and vicāra (thought). "Practicing means at home, not just here. Here, you are only learning." "When the body is not healthy, when it is full of vikāras, then the thoughts are also full of vikāras." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The spiritual path, the guide, and the final goal are one. Yoga is the journey of an entire lifetime and beyond, for many may not reach Cosmic Consciousness in this one. We begin on the path early and must remain steadfast upon it. If one stays on this clear path, it is absolutely certain the goal will be reached, even across future lives. The path itself is the master, the Guru Paramparā, which faithfully guides the disciple through all incarnations. In contrast, a worldly life is like constantly changing destinations with a temporary navigator, leading only to distraction and lostness. Without the guide, one is like a blind person in a hall, missing the door even when near it due to unconscious diversion. We may practice many techniques, but the true guide is the Master with open eyes, the lineage that knows the destination. Our origin is eternal, like a tree whose fruit retains its essential quality across ages and places. The inner soul seeks its nest, its source. One must work with this blessing, for the Supreme and the Gurus observe all. The body and its accomplishments will perish, but the soul seeks liberation. It is better to live a human life with love and non-harm. Our accumulated karma shapes our experience. At death, the freed soul speeds away, not wishing to return. The Guru prepares the disciple like a bird incubating an egg. The practice of mantra and sincere sādhanā is the means to proceed. "If we are on our path, then it is 100,000% certain you will reach the goal." "Practicing āsanas and prāṇāyāmas and reading some books is not yoga only... But where the path will lead us—that is our paramparā, guru paramparā." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The path requires following an authentic spiritual lineage under a perfected master. Different traditions have their successions, like the papal lineage. One must remain within this paramparā; leaving it is like jumping from a moving train. The masters are Siddhas, perfect beings connected to the divine source. Their words are Guru Vākya, divine speech that manifests as truth. Total renunciation is the ideal, but progress requires patience and steady practice. The disciple's perception must mature to see the divine reality within the master, beyond physical appearance. The grace of the lineage is like nectar raining down, purifying the practitioner's inner turmoil. This blessing is equally available to all who faithfully follow the path. "The perfected ones are the Siddhas." "Guru Vakya is only for them who follow the Guru Vakya, not temporarily." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Morning Yoga practice from the international Yoga retreat Umag, Croatia

Sādhana, or spiritual practice, rests on two pillars: the changeable physical practice and the permanent spiritual practice. Our physical practice must adapt to our changing age and condition. While yoga āsanas like śīrṣāsana benefit everyone by improving circulation and health, the ultimate goal is not mere longevity but a contented life. Modern life generates stress and endless desire, which destroys contentment. Accumulating possessions only multiplies sorrows. True happiness, or sukha, is found not in external things but in inner śāntoṣa, or contentment. This contentment is cultivated through steady spiritual practice, primarily mantra. Your mantra is the unwavering pillar that purifies consciousness and leads to perfection, regardless of your beliefs. Do not abandon this practice, for it protects you and brings peace. The physical practice supports the body, but the spiritual practice of mantra and devotion is the essential, unchanging path. "Śāntoṣī nārśada sukhi, who is always content, is always happy." "As many things we have, that many sorrows we have." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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

The essence of devotion and righteous living is found in the Guru's grace and adherence to dharma. The Guru is the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and liberation. All glory belongs to the divine teachers and manifestations. True practice requires singing together in devotion. The core teaching is that real yoga necessitates a pure lifestyle. One must first abandon alcohol, tobacco, eggs, and meat. These are not given for human consumption. Many suffer disease from such diets. A global shift is occurring where some are adopting vegetarianism while others are straying. To learn real yoga, one must live according to these principles and protect all life, including animals and nature. This practice is the rightful wealth of this land. "Dhyāna mūlaṁ gurur mūrtiḥ, pūjā mūlaṁ guru pādam, mantra mūlaṁ guru vākyam, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpām." "Why should I be hungry when I am at your doorstep?" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The true guru is one who knows past, present, and future. All beings possess the same divine Ātmā. The self is God. Life consumes life, yet the human heart is intended to avoid harming creatures. In Ayurveda, plants are classified, and using roots can destroy the plant. Shiva and Shakti are inseparable unity. When Shakti entered the fire, Shiva carried her body. Vishnu performed an austerity, pledging a thousand lotuses to Shiva. One flower was missing, so Vishnu offered his eye, named Kamal Nayan. Shiva then granted Vishnu the Sudarśana discus. Vishnu used it to cut Shakti's body into fifty-two pieces, which fell as sacred sites. The Guru's power is immense; a mere spark from the Guru ignites widespread light. "All jīvātmās in each and everyone are only one." "Shakti will not separate, and when separated, it will cut it in pieces." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Devotion opens the heart to divine presence. The pure being has five sheaths, from the physical to the bliss body. The saint's heart is a blooming lotus of divine vibration, while a negative heart withers. Sanātana Dharma is the eternal duty to protect and love all creation equally. Dharma means to protect. Negative thoughts and speech are ignorance; their karmic consequence returns to the speaker. Trust given must not be abandoned. The divine resides within the devoted heart, beyond all doubt and criticism. "Dharma means your duty... dharma means protect, protect, protect." "If you cannot speak something good, at least don’t talk negatively." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

All beings possess a soul and feel pain, from humans to the smallest fly. Water is life, and God is the living energy within it. To be human is to refrain from intentional killing. Different eras, or yugas, cycle with Dharma's purity declining; we now reside in Kali Yuga. Divinity is not a form but the conscious power from which all manifestation arises, with Śiva as the primordial source. True religion is one's inherent relation to the divine, not sectarian identity. "A tiny fly, when they see us, they come near us and then fly away. Why? Because they think, 'These humans, they will kill us.'" "God is that energy, power, protection, many things, but not the form." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Creation arises from divine resonance, and purity is the call of this age. Life is constant movement and change. All beings emerge from the one heart that is Śiva. The universe is filled with resonant sound, Nāda, from which all creation flows. The sun’s essence is pure, immortal energy, not mere heat; its reflected purity brings transformation. The body contains all five elements, sustained by nourishment. True sustenance requires purity in diet and action. A vegetarian diet maintains purity and strength, while impure foods invite affliction. The current global distress is a call to return to purity and dharma. Faith and practice are the path. Call upon the divine name with devotion to be lifted from any pitfall. Practice diligently at home, with faith in the Guru’s presence. Do not seek new scriptures or teachers; the true path and grace are within the established tradition. Give generously to those in need, for generosity multiplies spiritual merit. Hold fast to faith, not fear. "Through the Nāda only, creation whole. Otherwise, nothing." "Till today, no one has got the infection... those who are really pure vegetarian."

Swamiji in Sliac, 5th April 2007

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 true person is a flute through which the divine sound flows. A guru persistently repeats a teaching for decades, indicating its profound truth. The Latin root of 'person' means 'to sound through,' like a flute that does not make the sound but lets it pass. One must become such an instrument, allowing God to flow through without personal agency. Inspiration arises from unexpected and mundane circumstances, like a stuck tractor tire, not from preconceived spiritual activities. We are asked to send prayers for a sick friend. Spiritual work often involves tasks beyond one's normal expectations. "a person is actually someone who doesn't make a sound, but the sound is just going through." "you just never know where the inspiration, or when the inspiration, is going to come." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Yoga and meditation can improve quality of life for cancer patients when used alongside standard medical care, not as a cure. Studies show yogic interventions, including specific āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation, help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in patients. This improves their sense of well-being during treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, evidence does not support claims that yoga cures cancer. Such false promises are harmful, causing patients to delay effective treatment until their disease becomes advanced and incurable. The principle must be welfare of all, first doing no harm. Yoga is applicable at all stages: for primary prevention through lifestyle, secondary prevention via early diagnosis, and tertiary care to alleviate suffering in advanced disease. More robust, large-scale studies are needed to confirm benefits and identify the most effective techniques. "Please do not give a false hope that your cancer will be cured." "Yogic intervention helps in relieving the stress level of patients and thereby improves their sleep." Filming location: Delhi, India

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Yoga seminar, Dungog, Australia. Asanas and pranayamas keep our body healthy. According to the ancient scriptures, there is nothing else only Yoga. Many rishies got the realization in such a forest like this or in the Himalayas. Masters said: we should have a well-grounded connection to others. Bhajans are the worlds of the great Masters. Saints.

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

The promise to the divine must be fulfilled. A vow made to the Guru and the Lord is an absolute commitment that defines the spiritual path. This promise is the essence of devotion and the means to liberation. The devotee's role is to uphold this word above all else, regardless of the coming and going of other followers. The ultimate aim is to realize one's divine nature, supported by grace. Fulfilling this sacred promise is the core duty. "He has to keep his promise to the Lord." "When I die into my eyes, they will mutely say, 'I will be God.'" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
