The Divine Unity of Practice and Grace
0:30 - 1:48 (78 min)
Recorded on
The spiritual journey unfolds within a unified field of practice, where all practitioners are together in one vessel. Individual conditions or levels of concentration are secondary to this shared immersion in the aura of sādhanā. The principle "I am not the doer; the Divine is the doer" is foundational. The path is likened to a divine classroom, a cosmic university distinct from worldly education. Truth is essential; one must hold to it completely and avoid speaking in half-measures, for truth alone leads to liberation. Every letter and word carries divine potential and must be used with reverence. The practice itself distinguishes the genuine seeker from the artificial, just as a butterfly naturally alights on real flowers. "Please, if I come back again on the earth, please, Gurujī, bring me to your holy feet." "Tell the word of the truth... speak the truth and nobody will kill you."

Naham Karata for Yoga teachers
1:55 - 3:28 (93 min)
Recorded on
The human journey requires integrating intellect with devotion under a teacher's guidance. Mistakes have significant consequences, pulling one back into cycles of existence. Intellect alone cannot achieve realization; it is like climbing a mountain without oxygen. That essential element is the Guru's grace. Practice is paramount, yet devotion without discernment can mislead. When intellect and devotion conflict, one becomes stuck. Intellect must surrender to genuine devotion, which is willpower. Changing one's promised path after receiving blessings leads to fragmentation, like religions splitting into countless branches. The mind, influenced by the ten senses, is unstable and cannot be followed. True practice requires discipline, vairāgya (dispassion), and viveka (discernment). Social health is foundational for spiritual and mental well-being. A teacher must be a vigilant guide, never closing their eyes to students, and must teach from a place of humility, recognizing the source of instruction beyond themselves. The teacher's role is to liberate others, becoming a conduit of pure wisdom. "Intellectually we can think we can achieve; we have many good words to speak, but to come to realization is not easy." "When we practice, we are teaching ourselves. And then we begin to teach others." Filming locations: Poprad, High Tatras, Slovakia
We are one family
3:35 - 3:52 (17 min)
Recorded on
This spiritual home is our family, connected not by worldly karma but by surrender to the Guru. Worldly family ties are temporary bonds of past karma. Here, we form a lasting spiritual family under our Gurudeva. True connection requires complete faith and surrender from the heart, not half-hearted belief. Personal effort is essential: we must purify our inner vessel through sādhanā, mantra, and prayer to receive grace. Satsaṅg, whether in person or virtual, sustains this connection within the lineage. The Guru embodies the entire lineage; we cannot hide from this compassionate presence. Surrender your ego through devotion and let the Guru's light guide you. "Our own family—father and mother—are connected by our karma, so we eventually part." "If you have complete faith, just that faith, and the number one rule of that faith is surrendering."

Meditation with Swamiji
4:00 - 4:42 (42 min)
Recorded on
Morning program with Vishwaguruji from Atlanta, Georgia, Guided meditation.
Meditate on Gurudev's form
4:50 - 5:52 (62 min)
Recorded on
God is one, appearing in form or formlessness. Different names and forms point to the same supreme reality. The formless Parabrahma, Allah, or Holy Father is the ultimate. Yet, for those in a body, worship of a form is a valid path to that formless truth. Scriptures describe divine functions: Brahmā creates, Viṣṇu preserves, and Śiva dissolves, yet all are aspects of the one. The Guru is the living conduit to this truth, surpassing even these divine aspects. True guidance comes only through an authentic Guru rooted in a genuine lineage. Meditation and worship must be focused on that Guru. Without such a master, one remains lost, following empty signs and gaining no real liberation. "God is only one. There is no other god; there is only one God." "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara... Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma." Filming location: Sydney, Australia
Collecting good energy
6:00 - 6:59 (59 min)
Recorded on
The gift of practice is constant application, not occasional effort. Regular practice brings control and perfection, while irregular effort leads to unease. The guru's grace flows through constant morning, evening, and night practice, not merely through physical proximity. Good intentions at retreat must translate to concentrated practice at home. This sustained effort is the true offering. Physical guidance follows: relax the body completely, focusing awareness on each part. Bend the legs and lift the feet, using the hands on the feet without forceful massage, only gentle touching. This directs energy. Finally, lie down, placing the right hand softly on the chest and the left on the navel. Focus only on these two points—the heart and the navel—feeling warmth and comfort, without letting the mind wander. Be entirely within the body. "Through constant practice—morning, evening, night—there is Guru Kṛpā." "Be in your body. Do not think about going out anywhere." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
How to keep our purity
7:05 - 7:29 (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."

Gurudev bring us to your shelter
7:35 - 8:07 (32 min)
Recorded on
The mantra is a prayer glorifying the master and requesting his shelter. Oṁ is the universal beginning and end. "Namaḥ" offers salutations. "Śrī" conveys respect. "Prabhu" means God. "Dīpa" is the light. "Nārāyaṇa" is God's name, indicating the master is that divinity. The request follows: "We are all servants. O God, we are surrendered to your shelter." It seeks permanent protection and the highest happiness of self-realization, beyond temporary pleasures. The master is the pure giver of great joy and destroyer of all sorrow, protecting those who follow the teachings in daily life. "Oṁ is the beginning, the middle, and the end of the universe." "He is the giver of great happiness and the destroyer of all unhappiness." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Bhajan concert from Om Ashram

Recorded on
Bhajan band concert from Om Ashram, Rajasthan, India. First part of the program.
We learned that we are human
9:20 - 10:22 (62 min)
Recorded on
The true human is defined by non-violence and purity, not merely physical form. A being that kills and consumes other creatures lives as an animal, not in the divine human consciousness. The practice of vegetarianism purifies the body and mind, aligning one with higher truth. This transformation is gradual but inevitable for those who listen. The disciple's nature is changed through proximity to the guru's wisdom, as sandalwood perfumes nearby trees. The teaching destroys base instincts. This wisdom must be shared universally to uplift all people. "Blessed is the family, blessed is the house, blessed is the village where Sadgurudev comes and we can have his darśan." "Like the sandalwood tree is transforming the bamboo tree... Slowly, our whole nature becomes transformed."
Advaita
10:30 - 11:27 (57 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Yoga retreat in Dungog, Australia. There are 64 different kinds of kriyas but it was chosen only a few of them for Yoga in Daily Life. The teaching of the Masters says that the quality of the Jivatama, Atma and Paramatma is the same. That called non-duality, Advaita. Practicing Asanas.
The first sound came from the ocean
11:35 - 12:11 (36 min)
Recorded on
The primordial sound, Nāda, is the resonant form of the Absolute. This resonance permeates all existence, originating from the cosmic source. The mother of this world is the ocean, the source of life and this foundational sound. Within all beings are dual principles, male and female, which seek balance. The horse symbolizes the complete male principle, revered in sacred rites. A story illustrates this: King Sāgar performed a horse sacrifice, and his sons disturbed the meditating sage Kapila Muni. The sage's wrath turned them to ashes, but through penance, they were restored. This sound from the ocean is used in worship and connects all cycles of time. "The mother of this our world is the ocean. Voda, and life begins from there." "The horse is the complete male. That is the one which you cannot find anywhere."

What does Yoga in Daily Life mean?
12:15 - 12:41 (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
Chanting divine mantras
12:45 - 13:18 (33 min)
Recorded on
The supreme devotion to the Guru is the only path across the ocean of worldly existence. Without the Guru's grace, liberation is impossible. The Guru is the imperishable supreme reality, the boat of the name that carries the soul to the other shore. Service to the Satguru destroys all obstacles and reveals the inner self. He who is opposed to the Guru is the worst of all; his work remains unfulfilled. Through the Guru's compassion, the soul attains fearless self-knowledge and infinite bliss. Reciting the Guru's name is the eternal companion across all lifetimes. "Without your grace, not even sages or saints can cross existence; the soul attains self-knowledge and becomes fearless." "The Guru is the supreme, imperishable Brahman, of pure form and an abode of constant bliss." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The divine names invoke presence and remembrance. Chanting connects the seeker to the sacred essence. These names are not mere words but vessels of consciousness. Repetition purifies the mind and aligns it with truth. The practice is an offering and a call for grace. It awakens the heart from spiritual slumber. Devotion through sound becomes a direct path to realization. "Satguru merā sāyī, majāl ke pāṇḍ se kāryo ham ko pā." "Chūṭ bhajan mein lāg, jāg re jāg." Filming location: Rajasthan, India
Enjoy the movement!
15:55 - 17:08 (73 min)
Recorded on
Foundational āsanas and breath awareness form the base of practice. Begin with Pavanamuktāsana to release the lower back, pressing the knee to the chest with the breath. Move into Daṇḍāsana, keeping the spinal column straight. Practice head movements initiated from the lower neck, coordinating with breath to avoid strain. Sarvahitā Āsanas teach correct movement patterns for all further practice. Engage muscles by imagining lifting a weight to build strength for postures like Viparīta Karanī Mudrā. Always be aware of breathing during āsana; conscious breathing activates the brain's cortex, calming the emotional limbic system. Complete yogic breathing combines abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular movement for full purification. Prāṇāyāma, like Nāḍī Śodhana, purifies the energy channels through all five layers of being. "Always be aware of your breathing. When you breathe with awareness—without changing the rhythm—we activate a center in the cortex of the brain." "Seventy percent of the body's purification comes through our breathing. That is why our breathing, especially complete yogic breathing, is so important." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Mahaprabhuji is endless joy
17:15 - 17:34 (19 min)
Recorded on
Worldly joy is fleeting and contains hidden sorrow, but divine joy is endless. Human happiness is brief and intertwined with suffering, for every gain conceals equal or greater pain. Only the Supreme One's joy is boundless. An incarnate liberator provides a living refuge beyond scriptures. Merely reading teachings without following them brings no solution. True peace is found not in escape but in unwavering devotion to that divine source. "Blessed is the land where the Divine Soul incarnates, Satguru Dev." "We are those birds. We want to fly away... Again, only in God can we come and rest." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 183b
Science of chakras
17:40 - 18:56 (76 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through harmony and balance. The cosmic energy governs the universe, and this principle of union was discovered by ancient yogis. The individual soul is a spark of the divine light, present in all life. We originate from the cosmic sound and are composed of the five elements. Our journey involves many births, guided by karma, as the soul moves through forms and relations. The human body contains dormant energy centers called chakras, connected by 72,000 channels. Three primary channels—Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna—regulate energy, mind, and activity, converging at key points to form the chakras. These centers correspond to the elements and levels of consciousness, from the earthly Muladhara to the divine Sahasrara. Activating these centers through practice leads toward liberation. "Yoga means union—the union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness." "What is existing in the universe is existing in your body." Filming location: Croatia DVD 182a
