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

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."

The fire element is crucial for spiritual and physical health. Fire represents both divine light and destructive forces within us. The light of wisdom brings peace, harmony, and positive thoughts, creating a beautiful spiritual atmosphere. Without this light, darkness and ignorance lead to depression and blaming others. Anger is a negative fire that burns consciousness, and modern burnout stems from this inner pressure. Various sacred fires exist: the crematorium's fire, the altar's divine light, and ceremonial fires for foundations, housewarmings, and marriages. These Agni rituals establish harmony; neglecting them invites discord. Digestive fire, jāṭharāgni, governs physical health and temperature. All illness begins in the elemental space. Maintaining the five elements through yogic principles is essential for good health, recognizing God in all things. "Do not do any mistakes. For example, you drink poison and think, 'Afterwards, I will do good things.' But after this poison, it has killed you already." "When you give a donation, it is not yours anymore. And if you give, and then you are giving some commentary, then you are giving good things, it is not anymore valid for your good." Filming location: Cherkasy, Ukraine

A morning practice integrates physical postures with breath awareness to prepare the body and mind. Begin by lying down, interlocking fingers behind the head, and lifting the upper body with an exhalation to feel the back stretch. Move through sequences to stretch the shoulders, back, and legs, coordinating each movement with the breath. Practice lateral bends and forward folds with a straight spine. Engage the abdominal muscles with controlled leg lifts. Conclude with seated prāṇāyāma, focusing on alternate nostril breathing without counting cycles. Observe the natural breath flow and use a mantra to maintain focus, allowing thoughts to pass without analysis. Feel peace filling the heart with each breath. "With every exhalation, try to deepen the position a little." "Just enjoy the prāṇāyāma. We don’t have to count the cycles; we just relax and do prāṇāyāma." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

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

This lecture details the Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā purification techniques. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the cleansing of the entire intestine using warm, lightly salted water, performed early in the morning on an empty stomach. It involves drinking water and performing specific movements and postures to guide the water through the system. This practice is beneficial for conditions like high blood pressure and digestive issues but is not advised for those under 15, individuals with active ulcers or hernias, or pregnant women. Preparation includes a light diet the prior evening. The process continues until the expelled water runs clear. A strict diet must follow for at least one week, avoiding alcohol, meat, fish, eggs, and raw foods. Kunjal Kriyā is the cleansing of the stomach, performed after Śaṅkha Prakṣālana by drinking unsalted water to the point of fullness and then voluntarily expelling it. This practice helps purify the stomach and can aid those with bronchial asthma. The session concludes with rest and a meal of specially prepared kicharī. "The best time to do Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is in March, the beginning of September, the end of May, and before the winter." "After Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, you have to keep a diet for at least, strictly, seven days, one week, and up to one month." 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

A pilgrimage reveals the divine within and around us. A journey to the Kumbh Melā offers a profound experience of high vibration and collective spirituality. Witnessing the procession of saints and connecting with thousands of devotees creates a beautiful exchange of energy and blessings. Bathing in the Gaṅgā River allows one to feel its divine, feminine energy. The event symbolizes the eternal churning within, the struggle between divine and base qualities, from which the nectar of immortality emerged. True pilgrimage, however, is found at the Guru's feet, where the real Gaṅgā of blessing flows. The ashram itself becomes the real Kumbh Melā, a concentrated field of grace from the Guru lineage. "It was very, very beautiful, very high vibration, very colorful—so many people." "The real Kumbh Melā happens actually here in this very āśrama... All that energy... is channeled within this only place here." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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

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

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

Devotion arises from satsaṅga and the Guru's grace. Without true spiritual association, divine love and detachment cannot manifest. The Guru is the supreme power within the material realm; all actions require the Guru's sanction. Taking the teachings deeply into the heart transforms consciousness. Human life is a rare opportunity for spiritual practice. The festival of Holi commemorates the victory of divine devotion over evil, as seen in the story of Prahlāda. It signifies the triumph of good and the start of a new season. Engage wholeheartedly in devotion before time passes. "Without sattasaṅga, divine love and detachment cannot arise." "The superpower of the material world is Gurū Deva." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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

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

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.

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.
