Satsang will bring us to the Aim
0:00 - 1:14 (74 min)
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."

Blessings from the Kumbha Mela
1:20 - 2:30 (70 min)
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."

Purify Yourselves
2:35 - 3:41 (66 min)
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."

Path to the meditation
3:45 - 4:52 (67 min)
True meditation is the journey within, not an external projection.
Most meditation involves thoughts going outward, about life or guided imagery. This is not being within oneself. People are truly within themselves for mere seconds. Thinking about being within immediately takes you outside. Even focusing on the body's comfort or discomfort means you are outside it. The goal is to go inward. There are three states of being: the awakened state, the deep sleep state, and the dream state. We must learn to enter a state of conscious, yogic sleep. This brings awareness into the body. To meditate, one must first purify the energy channels through dedicated, singular practice of prāṇāyāma, balancing the breath through the nostrils. This balances the brain. The body's chakras, connected to these channels, must be purified. The aim is to bring the entire being into a balanced, aware unity within.
"Everything is your eternal journey, but not one inch out of your body—and that is your body."
"If you have thoughts for outside... then our meditation is not a meditation."

Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (2/9)
5:00 - 6:42 (102 min)
A guided session integrates mantra, meditation, and āsana for holistic practice. Begin by sitting comfortably and chanting the Gāyatrī Mantra to greet the inner and outer light. Relax the entire body systematically, from forehead to legs. Observe the natural breath, receiving fresh prāṇa and releasing stress. Concentrate on the mantra, observing thoughts without attachment. Conclude the meditation with gratitude and conscious breathing. Perform a series of āsanas including Ānanda Āsana, Pavanmuktāsana, and Sumeru Āsana to stretch and strengthen the body. These postures work on the spine, limbs, and core, renewing energy. Practice prāṇāyāma to regulate breath flow, followed by final chants.
"Just be your mantra in the breathing process."
"Observe as your heartbeat and the rhythm of breathing become slower and slower with relaxation."

Guru is only one
6:50 - 7:40 (50 min)
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."

Nada is the Sound
8:40 - 9:29 (49 min)
Nādarūpa Parabrahma is the formless Supreme Brahman manifest as primordial sound. The first manifestation was sound, the nāda, emerging from endless space. This sound is eternal and within all. The universe cycles from this sound into light, air, fire, water, and then physical forms. Consciousness, or Chetan, is awakened and without desire, unlike human consciousness which is bound by desire. The five sheaths of the body—Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, Vijñānamaya, and Ānandamaya—contain this consciousness. Prāṇa is the divine life force; when it departs, the body is without energy. True understanding comes from listening within, beyond the five elements. The practice of yoga nidrā leads to a rare state of conscious sleep, connecting to deeper realities.
"The sound is there—nāda. Everything is coming into the sound, and we will go into the sound."
"Prāṇa is God. And what is that prāṇa? Our happiness, our good friend."

The Eternal Journey of the Soul
9:35 - 10:36 (61 min)
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."

The fire element
10:40 - 11:31 (51 min)
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."

Mind and desires
11:35 - 12:27 (52 min)
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."

Do not eat meat
12:35 - 13:37 (62 min)
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."

Tratak and Tilak
13:45 - 14:47 (62 min)
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."

In the service of Gurudev
14:55 - 15:55 (60 min)
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.

Around the world - Yoga exercises specifically for women
16:00 - 16:36 (36 min)
This is a gentle yoga sequence for menstrual well-being. We begin with relaxation and full yogic breath to harmonize body and mind. Specific postures target the pelvic area and lower back. The first exercise involves bringing one knee to the chest, then extending the leg, performed slowly and consciously. This is followed by Marjari, the cat pose, to create a supple back. We then practice hip-opening postures like the half and full butterfly. A key squatting pose is emphasized for menstrual issues, grounding, and leg strength. We proceed to Setu Āsana, the bridge, to strengthen the lower body. A final side-lying balance pose benefits the lower abdomen. Conclude by feeling the effects of the practice.
"This exercise is especially good for menstrual problems, and also beneficial for the lower back, constipation, and hips."
"This pose is especially good for women... for irregular menstruation, or for heavy bleeding between periods."
Follow the Path
16:40 - 17:55 (75 min)
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."

Sri SatGuru Chalisa
18:00 - 18:13 (13 min)
The Satguru Chalīsā is a sacred text for meditation and crossing worldly existence. We worship the all-pervasive creator, the supreme incarnation. Without this grace, no one crosses the ocean of worldly life. All sages meditate upon this presence. Spiritual knowledge is given to the heart, resulting in fearlessness and the end of problems. Reading or listening to the Chalīsā brings concentration, ends the fear of birth and death, and grants prosperity and fulfillment. Life becomes perfect and suffering departs. The verses describe the merciful protector who uplifts all beings. Those who gain this vision are supremely fortunate and their wishes succeed. The guru is eternal and unequaled. Approaching the guru cleanses eons of misdeeds. The blessing itself is everything.
"Without Your mercy, no one can cross the ocean of worldly existence."
"Those who will have a darśan of you, Gurudev, they will be the greatest, and they will all the time have concentration and feeling for God."

Be healthy, be happy, be good
19:15 - 20:19 (64 min)
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.
The Imperative of Daily Practice
20:25 - 21:04 (39 min)
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."

Hatha Yoga is in every kind of Yoga
21:10 - 21:33 (23 min)
Haṭha Yoga is the essential, foundational path encompassing all others.
You cannot proceed without Haṭha Yoga. Bhakti Yoga is also Haṭha Yoga inside, for you must maintain unwavering devotion despite emotional waves. Most devotion is selfish and unstable, rising and falling with desires. True devotion must grow constantly, like an airplane ascending smoothly from the runway. It is a test of purity and constancy. The story of the crow and swan illustrates this: the noisy, changeable crow represents fickle devotion, while the silent, soaring swan represents steady ascent. Real devotion requires a pure heart and readiness to surrender completely. The tale of the young girl Karmabai demonstrates this forceful love: she insisted the deity eat her offering, and through her unwavering conviction, it did. Karma Yoga is similarly challenging. Thus, all paths are included within Haṭha Yoga.
"Bhakti yoga cannot be successful without haṭha yoga. And then it must be what we call the real devotion."
"God needs that kind of love... it is the love that is the oneness."
