What does Yoga in Daily Life mean?
0:10 - 0:36 (26 min)
Recorded on
This is the day of oneness, the middle point in our sādhanā. We must practice every year and go forward, not back. Yoga in Daily Life began from Czechoslovakia and has spread worldwide; it is for all. Our sādhanā comes from Ālagpurījī and Devpurījī, through Holy Gurujī and Mahāprabhujī. Holy Gurujī gave me this chair, which is from God. Sitting here signifies oneness. We are to become gurus, but that happens only at life's end through true inner practice, not merely in time. I work with Mahāprabhujī. We are all together in this. The Nandi statue sees Holy Gurujī's samādhi and Śiva; offering to it brings blessings. We must continue every year. "All will be only one. It doesn't matter who, what will be. One in all, and all in one." "This chair is from God, Bhagavān... then you become the Parabrahma, Paramatmā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

How to keep our purity
1:10 - 1:34 (24 min)
Recorded on
The human being contains a fundamental purity. We are diverse and cannot all become one, yet we are ourselves. Many people eat meat and are going down, but here we are pure. Open your eyes in the morning and see only "I am human." The earth is pure, and pure water comes from above. Within the vast ocean of existence, something very pure comes from within us, like a crystal. In sleep, we travel far from ourselves, yet return quickly. This inner experience is the purity we call a yogī. Our eyes are very powerful; we must be clear and controlled with them. Those who eat purely are very good. You do not need to know my name; it is inside. We have done work to maintain purity so others may not spoil it. "Open your eyes in the morning, so when we are just open. And so, when we open our eyes, then we see only, 'I am human.'" "And so, whatever it is with us, it is your beautiful best, all that is the purity. So that is what we call a yogī."

The materialized OM
1:40 - 2:02 (22 min)
Recorded on
A refreshing wind signals progress as we prepare for the temple's opening in four months, a short time when busy. The leader's presence accelerates the work, though daily changes are subtle until seen from afar. This completion is a divine achievement of a great vision, yet it is not an end but a step in perpetual creation. Our role is to participate and support, for every small action has effect. This place transforms the land and society, carrying a universal vibration. We must invite skilled helpers to share in this work for future generations, a gift for all humanity to draw nearer to the divine. "Time seems to run more quickly when we are busy, when we engage ourselves in activities." "This area will never be completed. It is like the universe." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The hidden powers in humans - Nadis
5:20 - 5:51 (31 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through balance. The universe is an endless cosmic body containing a consciousness that desired to multiply, initiated by the sound Oṁ. From this resonance, the five elements were created, forming 8.4 million creatures, including humans distinguished by intellect. The human body contains 72,000 energy channels (nāḍīs) receiving cosmic energy. Three primary channels—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā—govern emotion, activity, and consciousness, intersecting at energy centers called chakras. Key chakras include Mūlādhāra and Sahasrāra. Kuṇḍalinī is the symbolic serpentine energy whose awakening unites these channels. Consciousness (Śiva) and energy (Śakti) must coordinate. Lower chakras relate to animalistic behaviors when active without heart coordination. The mind coordinates between subconscious impressions and conscious desires; it cannot be controlled, only guided. Physical practices are not yoga itself but methods to create the balance that is yoga. "Yoga means balance, and where there is a balance, there is a harmony, and where there is a harmony, there is a unity, and therefore yoga means literally the union: the union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness." "The mind cannot be controlled. If you control the mind, then psychic problems will appear. You cannot control the river, you cannot block it, you can guide the river."

The Role of Yoga and Meditation in Improving Quality of Life for Cancer Patients
7:00 - 8:07 (67 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a body-mind practice studied as an adjunct to allopathic cancer treatment. Research shows it can improve stress, anxiety, depression, and quality of life for patients. However, data on improving physical function or sleep is less clear. Crucially, yoga is not a cure for cancer. Giving false hope that yoga, prāṇāyāma, or herbs alone can cure cancer is harmful and delays effective treatment, often until the disease is advanced. The ethical principle for all healers is to first do no harm and work for the welfare of all. A proper lifestyle with balanced diet, conduct, and thought is foundational for health. For younger patients, who are more prevalent in some societies, yogic intervention may offer particular benefit by improving well-being and potentially aiding tolerance to therapy. More robust, standardized, large-scale studies are needed. "Please do not give false hope that cancer will be cured." "ever engaged in the welfare of all... We should at no time do any harm."

Welcoming Address and Valedictory Session on Yoga for Wellness
8:15 - 9:23 (68 min)
Recorded on
Yoga for wellness is this year's subject, focusing on its global role in health. Yoga has moved from Indian tradition to global practice, increasing our responsibility. The conference aims to establish policy parameters. Two key features were discussed: the holistic integration of traditional and modern medicine, and yoga's specific impact on diseases. Integration must evolve from simple co-location to active cross-referrals between systems. The ultimate aim is to use yoga to reduce the number of patients. For global acceptability, scientific evidence for yoga's value is essential, beyond mere assertion. This requires research and the collaboration of practitioners from both traditional and modern medicine seen here today. The goal is to shape government policy for a healthy India. "Yoga has no side effects." "We need to generate scientific evidence about the value of yoga if we want true acceptability." Filming location: Delhi, India
Vegetarian cooking lesson 10, Stir Fry Vegetables
9:00 - 9:12 (12 min)
Recorded on
A stir-fry is cooked quickly at high heat, not slowly. Heat the wok thoroughly first. Use ghee or a generous amount of oil. Cut vegetables into small pieces for fast cooking. We are adding Āyurvedic spices: asafoetida for digestion and coriander seeds. Fry spices first, then add vegetables like spring onions, carrots, and peppers. Start with harder vegetables, adding softer ones later. Do not add salt immediately, as it draws out water and causes steaming instead of frying. Stir constantly. Add salt when vegetables soften. You can finish with soy sauce or tomatoes. The dish should be soft but not overcooked, served with noodles or grains. "For stir-fried vegetables, it’s good to use a bit extra oil or grease, as it helps the vegetables fry properly." "It’s important not to add salt immediately, as salt draws water out of the vegetables, causing them to steam rather than fry." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Building the Ashram
9:20 - 9:55 (35 min)
Recorded on
This is our ashram, a place of being and bliss. We are all here together, sitting with sādhus and yogīs, and it is very good. The essence must be in our body. An ashram is our home. Understanding comes from above, from God to mother to human. It arrives directly, like from Akkar to Nābhi. Even a mother may not know how it comes, but it is our prophet. God is the only one and will become human. If humans belong to India, then all children are equal. That one will enter God, will enter the body. We must care for the human mind. We are here, and we will do the work. In construction, one must think about how people feel inside. A building is not just a roof; it should be pleasant. The best materials are natural, like wood and straw, which support humans. Materials modified by humans, like bricks and lime, are good. Stones like sandstone are neutral, but granite harms the body. Modern materials like steel and concrete are dead and not healthy. We follow Vāstu Śāstra, the science of building, so the earth supports everyone living there. We use lime, not just cement, for healthier buildings. Wood is the best material and can be used for multi-story buildings and large halls. "This is our ashram; this is our ashram. And when you see it, oh, it is very nice." "The best materials are natural, like wood and straw, which support humans." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The power of Gurudev's blessing
12:35 - 13:05 (30 min)
Recorded on
The great fortune of satsang and the sacred power of prasada. Being in satsang is our great luck, a refuge from the affairs of this age. This is not mental fast food but rich spiritual nourishment requiring strong inner fire to digest. Simply being in this radiant atmosphere grants energy and purification. I once thought greeting the teacher was a loss of lecture time, but after decades I see it is the most important part. The prasada received is very rare. A lecture is nice inspiration, but to bow and receive grace is precious. This act releases many karmas. Prasada is the essential, holy substance that can completely change a life, as can true darshan. We must prize this energy, keep it, and let it shine in our homes. Maintain purity within and transmit that. We are all one here in this practice. "To come, to bow down, to greet, to come very near to your Gurudev and receive prasāda... we must realize how precious this is." "That Prasāda is completely able to change our life, if we know what Prasāda is." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The first sound came from the ocean
13:10 - 13:46 (36 min)
Recorded on
The supreme reality is the form of primordial sound. Nāda, or resonance, permeates all existence from the Brahma-randhra. The ocean is the mother of the world, the source of life and this sound. Kundalini and the chakras represent an eternal process, not an end. In creation, two principles exist: male and female. Within each individual, there is a balance of these opposing energies; males contain female feelings and females contain male feelings, causing them to seek completion in each other. This union is the seed, composed of prāṇa and the elements. The horse is considered a complete male, a holy being without certain symbolic attributes. A king's relationship to his people is that of a father to his children. In the story, King Sāgar performed a horse sacrifice. The horse entered the hermitage of the meditating sage Kapila Muni. Sāgar's sons disturbed the sage, who opened his eyes and burned them to ashes with his gaze. The king begged for their lives, and the sage granted his blessing. These divine narratives recur across the ages. "The mother of this our world is the ocean." "In our whole body, as a man, we have more feelings than females inside. That's why they are going more towards the female." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Chanting divine mantras
14:20 - 14:53 (33 min)
Recorded on
The Guru is the supreme grace and the sole means to liberation. Without the Guru's grace, no being can cross the ocean of worldly existence. The Guru bestows self-knowledge, making one fearless. By listening to the Guru's verses, one attains all perfections and happiness. The Guru is the indestructible supreme reality, a boat of divine name carrying souls to the other shore. No one is a greater benefactor than the Guru. When a soul comes before the Guru, sins of countless ages are erased. Where the Guru's grace falls, no desire remains. Service to the Guru destroys all obstacles and reveals the light of the supreme self. One who serves the Guru is rare. The Guru's enemy is the worst; their work is never fulfilled. The Guru is Vishnu, the Guru is Shiva; the Guru is verily the supreme reality. The root of meditation is the Guru's form; the root of liberation is the Guru's grace. "Guru samāna dātā koī nahīṁ, rājā barṣa āśa karai." "Guruḥ śakṣāt parabrahma tasmai śrī gurave namaḥ." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Iyengar Yoga During Pregnancy: A Synthesis of Tradition and Experience
15:00 - 16:42 (102 min)
Recorded on
Iyengar Yoga is a methodology based on B.K.S. Iyengar's understanding of yogic scriptures, emphasizing precision and the use of props to make āsanas accessible. It interprets "Sthira sukham āsanam" as learning to be stable and delightful in any situation, not just comfortable. Props like walls, ropes, and bolsters were innovated to help students achieve correct alignment and experience the benefits, regardless of their condition. This approach bridges research-based evidence and experience-based tradition. The practice aims to create physiological changes that impact psychology, such as reducing stress by altering neurotransmitter levels. "Yoga is one, like God is one; different people call it by different names. There is nothing like Iyengar Yoga." "Āsanas are descriptions, not prescriptions." Filming location: Delhi, India
We are one family
16:50 - 17:07 (17 min)
Recorded on
This spiritual community is our true home, while worldly family ties are temporary bonds of karma. Our past shapes us, but here we are disciples. Complete faith and surrender are essential; a clean heart is the vessel for grace. Mantra and prayer purify the mind. Satsaṅg is vital for connection, whether in person or online. The Guru embodies the entire lineage; we cannot hide from this benevolent awareness, which provides what we need. "This is our Gurudeva, our father and mother. So spiritually, we have our home here." "If you truly have faith, you will not dwell on your problems so much, because your Guru will find all ways of solving them." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Essence of Satsaṅg and Gurukṛpā
17:15 - 18:14 (59 min)
Recorded on
The essence of spiritual life is grace and truthful company. Grace is the sole blessing, flowing from Śiva through the entire guru lineage into every cell, resolving all difficulties. All creatures seek this grace, which manifests as humility in nature. Humans, however, harbor a unique negativity that obscures the soul present within all. We require cleansing, which we find in spiritual gathering. This gathering is satsaṅg—the company of truth. Truth means reality, and company means being together with what is good. It washes away the dirt we accumulate, just as water cleanses the body. We come to such company to relax and reconnect. The inner guru, the Satguru, is like a light within the heart. This gathering unites us, reminding us we are one with the divine and all life. We must engage in truthful company within our own homes and with all beings, recognizing the love present in all creatures. Our purpose is to realize this unity and live in harmony. "Kṛpā permeates our whole body, every single cell, and resolves our problems and difficulties." "Sat means truth. Satsaṅg means together. Satsaṅg means that we all are one."

Prana and pranayam
19:25 - 20:12 (47 min)
Recorded on
The science of prāṇāyāma addresses the profound pollution of our existence. Prāṇa, the vital energy, is managed through three processes: Pūrak (inhalation), Rechak (exhalation), and Kumbhak (retention). Sanskrit, the language of this science, resonates deeply, expanding consciousness. Our existence relies on the five elements, with the earth as a nurturing mother who forgives our pollution. Yet now, her forgiveness is strained by our actions. We poison the outer earth—its waters and air—and then our own bodies with toxins and disease. The worst pollution is mental, leading to violence and ignorance. Yoga is designed for this. It is the first science, integrating our five bodies—physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and blissful. Success in yoga comes through karma, selfless action, but is opposed by the great enemy: laziness. The fire of yoga practice burns away all karmic seeds. Prāṇāyāma is more crucial than physical postures; it purifies and protects. It begins by balancing the psychic channels: the left nostril (Chandra, the moon) calms emotions, and the right (Sūrya, the sun) clarifies intellect. This purification of the nāḍīs is the primary tool for deep meditation and strength. "To pollute the earth is a sin. It means you pollute Mother Earth." "The most dangerous pollution is in the human mind." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Spirituality is without meat and alcohol
23:45 - 0:32 (47 min)
Recorded on
Milk is a vital source of prāṇa, a pure substance from mothers like cows or goats, transformed into yogurt, butter, and ghee for health. The quality depends on the animal's treatment and pure grass diet, not contaminated feed. Exploiting animals for excessive milk causes suffering; we must care for them with compassion as fellow feeling beings. Our consumption should be conscious, avoiding meat and the diseases linked to it. Alcohol, though called a medicinal substance from ancient times, causes family strife and should be avoided. True practice involves conscious living, prayer for forgiveness for unconscious harm, and respect for all religions and paths. The core is personal responsibility in choosing pure food and compassionate action. "God has created it in such a way that from a body containing blood and many other elements comes pure milk." "All animals or humans, we are living beings. They feel pain, and we also feel the pain." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
