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

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

The pilgrim's journey is a metaphor for the path to self-realization. Ancient pilgrims undertook arduous journeys to holy places like Kedārnāth. They traveled on foot through wild forests, guided by faith and the kindness of sādhus who shared simple, sustaining food. Their entire consciousness was fixed on the divine destination. The difficult path purified them, and they carried the temple's energy and prasād back to their villages, welcomed as if God had returned. This historical struggle contrasts with modern, comfortable travel. The true journey is internal. We are all pilgrims on earth, moving toward the divine. Maintain a positive mind and unwavering confidence, feeling God's presence especially during trials. The path itself is the goal. "when the time is comfortable... you are with me. And when it was a very hard path... you left me alone." The voice replied, "when it was very hard, you did not walk. I walked for you, and I carry you on the hollow of my palm." "one hour, half hour, and quarter hour. So even one minute, half a minute... satsaṅg... purifies thousands of our mistakes." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A guided practice of meditation, yoga, and pranayama. Chant Om to begin. Withdraw awareness inside, focusing on the body's stillness, each breath, and the mantra. Be present. Feel the heart center and repeat the mantra there, feeling the presence and love of the guide. Let thoughts come and go. Divine light radiates from the heart throughout the inner space and beyond. Chant Om to conclude the meditation. Practice yoga asanas starting from a relaxed position. Perform Marjari asana and its variations for spinal health. Execute breathing exercises with specific ratios. Practice Bhuñamānāsana to benefit the spine and discs. Observe the flow of prana from the manipura chakra throughout the entire body. Conclude with Nāḍī Śodhana pranayama, focusing on deep, soundless, and relaxed breath with awareness of each inhalation and exhalation. The exhalation should be longer. Observe the breath without influencing it, feeling peace and harmony. Chant Om three times to end. "Be present here and now. Do not go away with your thoughts." "Feel each inhalation and exhalation. Awareness of every inhale and exhale." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

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

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

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."

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 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

Trāṭak is concentration through gazing. Tilak is a mark of spiritual balance and wisdom. Trāṭak involves fixing the gaze on a single point, such as a candle flame, a dot, or the new moon. This practice develops concentration and inner clarity. Gazing directly at the sun should be brief to avoid harm. The true inner light is not a visual phenomenon but the light of wisdom at the Ājñā Chakra. Applying a Tilak at this point symbolizes this wisdom. The Tilak, made from substances like sandalwood paste or ash, helps balance the body's energy channels. It is a spiritual practice, not merely a religious ritual. This balance is part of the eternal natural order. Without discipline and a qualified guide, forceful practice can be dangerous. The power of focused gaze is real, but it must be used with purity and care. "Trāṭak means we gaze on one object." "Tilak is very, very important and very spiritual."

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

The practice of śalabhāsana and complementary āsanas builds strength and influences consciousness. Śalabhāsana strengthens the posterior muscles and works on self-confidence. Hold the posture with full lungs and descend on the exhalation, though breathe naturally if there is high blood pressure. Remain soft while using strength. It corrects the pelvis and benefits the prostate and menstruation. A variation with hands under the body stretches the digestive tract and is ideal before meditation. Avoid excessive bending in the lumbar area; focus the bend in the thoracic part. Follow with relaxation and pavanamuktāsana to release lower back tension. Sarvāṅgāsana benefits peripheral circulation and balances thyroid function, but avoid it with hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, or during menstruation. It improves circulation to the head and allows a subtle exhalation. Its counterpose is bhuḍaṅgāsana, which stretches the front and strengthens the arms; bend in the chest area, not the most flexible part. Halāsana stretches the back and affects the neck, emphasizing exhalation. Matsyāsana opens the chest, works on the thyroid and breathing, and is performed with inhalation through the nose and exhalation through the mouth. A one-legged balance pose aids concentration and nervous stability. Ardha Matsyendrāsana regenerates the spine and has anti-inflammatory properties. An inverted posture improves circulation to the head and spiritual development. Conclude with Tāḍāsana and Prāṇāyāma. Bhastrikā Prāṇāyāma intensifies the digestive fire and burns waste; relax the abdomen and let breath flow spontaneously without forcing inhalation. Avoid it with a brain tumor or elevated body temperature. Chant Oṁ to withdraw inward. "Remain soft in the posture, even while using strength." "In this posture, simply allow one subtle, extended exhalation." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

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

Sandhyā is the sacred connection at the juncture of day and night. It is the time to offer prayer, connecting to unity before retiring. The sun, Sūrya Nārāyaṇa, sustains all life—humans, creatures, and vegetation. The moon, Chandra, brings balancing sweetness. These forces balance our body and the natural world. At Brahma Muhūrta, the pre-dawn time, one should automatically awaken. Begin by washing with water to awaken energy, then offer prayers. All of nature awakens with the sunrise; humans should also rise to join this renewal. This disciplined practice of connection, through water and prayer, supports lifelong health and peace. It is a universal principle, not confined to any single religion. "The lotus flower goes to sleep when the sun sets, and before sunrise, it awakes again." "Early morning, wash yourself, and whatever you like—good things, prayers or anything good." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Bhajan sang by Gajanand.

Meditation is establishing harmony within oneself and with the world. It begins by reconnecting with your own body, mind, and soul, countering the stress of constant external activity. Harmonious relationships with family and society are essential, preventing loneliness and creating a sense of belonging. The practice then inquires into life's purpose and the fundamental question of one's true identity, distinguishing the unchanging self from the changing body and thoughts. This inquiry can be done through passive sitting or active, creative work performed with awareness. Meditation is practiced using a mantra, breath awareness, and observation of thoughts without control, ultimately leading to relaxation and self-knowledge. "Meditation means to be one with thyself." "Analyze your thoughts without refusing them." Filming location: Bratislava, Slovakia

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."
