Shiva is the light
0:15 - 1:25 (70 min)
Recorded on
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
Follow the Path
1:30 - 2:45 (75 min)
Recorded on
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
Blessings from the Kumbha Mela
2:50 - 4:00 (70 min)
Recorded on
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
The fire element
4:05 - 4:56 (51 min)
Recorded on
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
Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (3/9)
5:00 - 6:33 (93 min)
Recorded on
A guided yoga practice integrates movement, breath, and awareness. Begin by feeling the body's contact with the floor, focusing on the spine. Proceed through a sequence of postures, coordinating each motion with the breath. Maintain awareness of specific body parts, such as the ankles during leg circles or the shoulder blades during twists. The practice includes variations of poses like spinal twists, leg raises, and forward bends. Breath observation is central; feel the inhalation moving from stomach to throat and the exhalation reversing this path. Conclude with prāṇāyāma and mantra repetition, emphasizing presence and the relaxation of the body and mind. "Try to feel your inhalation moving from your stomach to your throat, and your exhalation moving from your throat to your stomach." "Remain aware of your motion. Continue making large circles, and slowly finish." Filming location: Umag, Croatia
Purify Yourselves
6:42 - 7:48 (66 min)
Recorded on
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."

Yoga, Faith, and Integration: A Personal Journey and Panel Discussion
7:58 - 9:02 (64 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a faith-based system for wellness and healing, integrating consciousness with the body. A personal testimony describes overcoming a cancer diagnosis by refusing conventional treatment and rewriting one's mental blueprint. The individual believed revised thoughts would communicate with cells and DNA to halt disease progression, attributing survival solely to yoga practiced with faith and discipline. This illustrates yoga's potential beyond physical postures, focusing on divine energy and consciousness. Panelists discuss integrating traditional Āyush systems like Homeopathy, Āyurveda, and Siddha with yoga and modern medicine. Homeopathy treats the whole person mind-body-intellect economically. Āyurveda and yoga share principles of removing prāṇic blockages through detoxification and lifestyle. Siddha medicine inherently includes yoga and varma therapy. All emphasize a holistic, health-centric approach over a disease-centric model, addressing root causes like stress and suppressed urges. The World Health Organization supports developing evidence-based yoga modules for non-communicable diseases and exploring integrative service delivery. The spiritual core of yoga is to raise human consciousness, with health benefits being natural side effects. "If you allow God’s energy to run into your system by removing the ignorance that blocks it, God will provide the miracles." "Yoga and Āyurveda are like the two faces of the same coin. If we can integrate both concepts, probably we can render wonderful results." Filming location: Delhi, India

Vegetarian cooking lesson 5
10:00 - 10:41 (41 min)
Recorded on
Falahārī nutrition uses food in its perfect, natural state. This way of eating brings vitality and health. The diet emphasizes raw fruits, vegetables, and herbs, though simple preparations are shared. Personal adaptation is key; one should feel free without strict rules. The focus is on fresh, whole ingredients and their inherent goodness. Meals are crafted with mindfulness and simplicity. The nourishment is deeply satisfying. "Everything grown in nature is already perfect." "The greatest gift for me is that I became a vegetarian." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
The Imperative of Daily Practice
10:45 - 11:24 (39 min)
Recorded on
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
In the service of Gurudev
11:30 - 12:30 (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."

Do not eat meat
12:35 - 13:37 (62 min)
Recorded on
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
Tratak and Tilak
13:45 - 14:47 (62 min)
Recorded on
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 Eternal Journey of the Soul
14:55 - 15:56 (61 min)
Recorded on
The eternal journey of the soul is the subject. The soul is not the five elements or the five sheaths: the physical body, the energy body, the mental body, the intellectual body, and the bliss body. The mind coordinates the five senses of knowledge and the five senses of action. It is a reflection of our actions, like a reflection in a mirror. Self-knowledge asks: who am I? From where did I come? Where am I going? The soul is a divine light, equal in all beings. It enters through the navel, connected to the solar plexus and the sound of the sun. The soul's residence is in the heart. One must be vigilant with karma, as a single mistake can undo a lifetime of good work. Realization requires persistent understanding, not merely intellectual knowledge. "Ko’ham—who am I? I am not these five elements." "Do not think that the elephant has a big soul and the mosquito or ant has a small soul. The soul is like a fire." Filming location: London, UK
Yoga in Daily Life: The Fifth Level
16:00 - 16:38 (38 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the science of body, mind, spirit, and soul. Every practice has a purpose. Begin by relaxing in Ānandāsana with palms up to open the chest and lower the shoulders. Legs apart relaxes the pelvis. Abdominal breathing massages organs and calms emotions. Practice always within comfort, never forcing. Pavanamuktāsana stretches the spine and stimulates digestion. Marjari Āsana mobilizes the spine; let movement guide breath into harmony. Paścimottānāsana stretches from the perineum upward, affecting the Maṇipūra Cakra. Prasārita Pādottānāsana works the inner legs and digestion. Jānu Śīrṣāsana brings the body into balance through equal practice on both sides. Mṛgāsana strengthens the knees and calms the nervous system. After postures, rest in Ānandāsana to feel the effects on circulation, breath, and consciousness. "Allow the movement to cause the air to enter and the movement to cause the air to exit. In that way, in the fastest possible manner, we remove stress." "Āsanas do not act only on the body. They are also a correction of our behavior; they act on our consciousness." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia
Return back to happiness
16:45 - 17:37 (52 min)
Recorded on
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
Guru is only one
17:45 - 18:35 (50 min)
Recorded on
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

Be healthy, be happy, be good
19:35 - 20:39 (64 min)
Recorded on
Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Szeged, Hungary. Either you use your time or you will lose it. We should clean the antahkaranas. Attachment is the cause of our problems. There are two things: hope and the desires. There are four ways we create karma. Don't leave your parents in the dying room where there is no hope. The first wealth is good health. Clean your body inside with proper food, practising asanas and pranayama. Do not go to restaurants too often. Vishwaguruji invites everyone to Sri Alakhpuriji's cave in the Himalayas.
Yoga is much more than physical
20:45 - 21:23 (38 min)
Recorded on
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.
Mind and desires
21:30 - 22:22 (52 min)
Recorded on
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
