When I was a child
1:40 - 2:31 (51 min)
Recorded on
The path requires personal action and grace, not mere waiting. We strive to connect and become better, yet many wait for life to happen. True progress comes from engaging actively. A personal history illustrates this: a father's astrological prediction, a mother's concern, and encounters with spiritual guides led to a decisive journey. Running from school and meeting a teacher clarified the path. An invitation to teach yoga abroad began with a refusal to eat meat, establishing principles that attracted many. This work expanded across countries, forming communities and ashrams through consistent action and adherence to truth. The key is to take life into your own hands; sitting in a waiting room yields nothing. Engage in karma yoga, participate, and give of yourself. Through active doing, destiny unfolds. "My father said, 'This child has a high IQ.'" "If you want to learn math, you can't sit and talk, 'Math, please come to me.' You must take life in your own hands."

What is the distance between Earth and sky?
2:35 - 3:28 (53 min)
Recorded on
Awakening is the first step to yoga, beginning with humility and respect. Upon waking, a light opens in the heart, bringing knowledge to the brain, making us aware. This awakening recognizes "I am human," an awareness shared by all creatures. The next acknowledgments are to God, then to Mother and Father. The earth is our mother, the sky our father; we exist between them, supported by both. A yogi once asked the distance between earth and sky. The answer is from the foot on earth to the top of the head. Our steps are on the mother earth, under the father sky. Yoga is not merely postures but the journey where all diversities, like rivers, merge into the one cosmic Self. Practice begins with the intention to do only good. "From earth to sky, where our foot is on the where? Earth. And where is the height of the sky? Only till the head." "When we practice the āsanas, we imitate... the art-typical posture of the natures... we get rid of those karmas." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The power of Gurudev's blessing
3:35 - 4:05 (30 min)
Recorded on
The great fortune is to be in satsaṅg, not entangled in the distractions of the age. This gathering provides rich spiritual food, not the mental fast food many consume. To digest this requires strong inner fire and practice. Simply being in this atmosphere purifies energy and grants strength. The most vital part is the personal connection—greeting the teacher and receiving prasāda. This act releases karma and provides sustenance felt long after. Prasāda is the holy essence capable of transforming a life, as is true darśana. "Prasāda is the essence." "That Prasāda is completely able to change our life if we know what Prasāda is."

Yoga unites people
4:10 - 4:54 (44 min)
Recorded on
Observing spiritual practice reveals a common human foundation beneath different forms. Many traditions share morning rituals of purification, prayer, and offering. Christians go to church, kneel, and give donations. Hindus perform ablutions and sit peacefully. Muslims wash, pray from their book, and instruct their children. These external forms vary, but the internal impulse is shared. Yet, in many places, this dedicated practice is declining. People are distracted, and communal observance diminishes. True spirituality transcends these separate identities. In a hospital, a doctor does not ask a patient's religion or nationality before providing care. The focus is solely on the human being in need of healing. This illustrates our fundamental unity. Every creature has a body and can feel pain. A single needle causes suffering to the whole body. We are all interconnected. Therefore, do not claim one religion is superior. All contain goodness. Our shared humanity is the primary truth. "Not this is India or Christians or Muslims making or their name. No, only the human, and this comes to them." "In a hospital, they will not say, 'What are you? Which land is this?' But please bring this child or person who has fallen down." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A yoga practice requires precise, unified execution of postures with mindful breathing. Begin standing with hands crossed above the head, moving slowly together. Place hands in front with palms up; inhale to bring fingers to shoulders, then exhale while moving forward, coordinating breath and movement. Sit in Vajrāsana, then practice Bhavanamukta Āsana by drawing one knee to the chest, aiming to touch the forehead to the knee for four counts before relaxing the leg. Perform Marjari with coordinated movement and breath. Conclude with relaxation. "Our hands should go exactly together." "With an inhale, the right knee comes to the chest."

People will be holy again
6:10 - 6:35 (25 min)
Recorded on
A great light of purity is coming for humanity. Practice in your place. A revelation was received from Mahāprabhujī and Devapurījī concerning powerful mantras. These sacred words herald a coming age. The current impurity, marked by violence and consumption of meat, will end. A pure Sat Yuga is approaching, replacing the Kali Yuga. People must purify themselves and their children through non-violence. Adopt a diet that causes no harm. This purity will manifest globally, as seen in certain families and disciples. Teach this to everyone. The impure will fade, and pure children will emerge. This transformation is the destined reality. "Kali Yuga is going, and Sat Yuga is coming. So we have to come and purify, purify our body all the time." "No killing any animals, no killings, no killings. We have so much fruits and everything to eat, all good things to eat."

Marriage for a lifetime
6:40 - 7:18 (38 min)
Recorded on
The discourse addresses the primacy of Kṛṣṇa with his consort Rukmiṇī. For years, emphasis has shifted to Rādhā, but the scriptural and marital reality is Kṛṣṇa and Rukmiṇī. Many deities are acknowledged, yet the foundational truth remains. The lesson extends to marital conduct, advising fidelity and family unity over transient attractions. Correct understanding is essential, as found in ancient texts. The teaching concludes with an explanation of a bhajan describing inner energy rising to the Ājñā Cakra, producing divine light and sound, leading to merging with the divine and praising the guru. "Radha is good, but not on Krishna’s knee." "I sing now the glory of my gurudeva." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Ganesji Doha
7:25 - 8:04 (39 min)
Recorded on
The auspicious invocation calls upon the remover of obstacles to begin any work. In this tradition, Gaṇeśa is the Guru. This bhajan is a request from the holy Gurujī for Gaṇeśa to remove obstacles in writing bhajan books. Gaṇeśa, the elephant-headed deity, symbolizes wisdom embodied. He resides in the Mūlādhāra Cakra, subduing past karmic influences to allow a fresh start. The bhajan uses many names for Gaṇeśa, such as Gajānanda and Gaṇarāja, praising him as the lord of Śiva's attendants. The ultimate intent is a camouflaged invocation to Mahāprabhujī. The final line reveals this, requesting the service of his lotus feet, which translates to serving all beings, exemplified by adopting a vegetarian diet. "Gajānanda Ānanda Mūrti, Kṛpākaro Mahārāj." "Viśva Dīpa Hari āpaho dijo caraṇakī sev." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
We are always close in our hearts
8:10 - 8:44 (34 min)
Recorded on
Our true home is found within the heart, beyond physical travel and external change. Observe nature's unity: birds live and die as devoted pairs; cows move as one herd. Humans also journey, leaving birthplaces for other lands, yet a longing for a true home persists. This inner home is not a location but a state of being, accessed through the heart. In deep sleep or meditation, we touch this inner oneness where all separation dissolves. Past experiences and loved ones, like a mother's presence, reside there. Even animals understand this inner truth, as they feel deep connections and know good from bad. Our physical body travels, but our heart holds everything. Therefore, live consciously, examining your actions, and recognize the fundamental unity in all life. Wherever you go, carry this understanding within. "From the heart, inside it is like my last one, my last love, last life." "In our heart, there is everything." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Everything is in our heart
8:50 - 9:03 (13 min)
Recorded on
The grace of the guru is experienced through devotion and miraculous presence. People constantly call for the speaker to visit them. A story is told of Mahāprabhujī as a child going with cows that ate from a farm; despite concerns, Gurujī said it would result in more for the owners, and it did. The speaker describes visiting places associated with Mahāprabhujī, who is meditating deeply. Another figure stays in the jungle, refusing to enter a house even for food. People question the speaker's absence over years, but the speaker cites health. The essence is that the guru and devotees are connected in the heart, enabling all things. Disciples act in harmony with the guru's will. "Gurujī said, 'Don't worry, let them eat.'" "He said, 'Okay, you can give it to me outside. I don't go inside, yeah.'"

The materialized OM
9:10 - 9:32 (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
How to keep our purity
9:40 - 10:04 (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."

Everything is within thyself
10:10 - 10:36 (26 min)
Recorded on
The practice is a meditation on seeing and being. Stand and move the hands, then let them hang. Look down at the earth's gifts, then rise and look up. Look to the left, to the right, and to the front, observing all the many things present. Look up to scan the pure sky, then look down again at the earth. Close the eyes. Open them and look straight, left, right, down, and up. Realize that ultimately, there is no direction and no one—only "I am." This pure being is complete. Sit and perform this sequence five times. A five-minute morning practice establishes this awareness for the whole day. When you look and see everything, it is like leaves falling from a tree; that is what you are. Be thyself. Everything is within. "Close your eyes. What you have and what you are looking at." "And what have you seen? Who has given to you all good things, many things, but always coming differently?"

Life will be easier if we don't eat meat
10:40 - 11:13 (33 min)
Recorded on
The core problem is violence and consumption causing suffering. My disciples asked for help for a sick relative who eats meat. This is the global issue: people consume meat and alcohol, creating suffering and karmic knots. Life, in any form, is sacred. Animals endure great cruelty. Practices like Kṛṣṇa consciousness show a better way through vegetarianism and prayer. Yet people revert to old habits. Humans, endowed with intellect and comfort, exploit and kill other beings who also possess senses and life. We build and accumulate but often lack true compassion, as seen in the lonely elderly who are abandoned. Our actions have consequences. We must help, but the fundamental solution is to stop the killing and consumption. "They are creating many different, complicated little knots." "Each and every living being, every animal, has this."

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

How to prepare for meditation
23:45 - 0:34 (49 min)
Recorded on
The primary purpose of human life is to purify all karmas and unite the individual soul with the Supreme. This is the main aim of receiving a human body. All other good works are also a duty. The Chin Mudrā symbolizes this union, with the thumb and index finger representing the Supreme and individual soul coming together. The three separate fingers represent the three guṇas, which are obstacles. Mastery over these guṇas is essential for true spiritual progress; without it, practice is futile. This hand position creates a neurological connection that brings relaxation and balance, dispelling anxiety and calming the mind. It regulates energy flow within the body. Proper posture is critical, as slumping disconnects energy and lets the guṇas dominate. One must sit upright and relaxed for energy to circulate freely. Sound originates from the navel, and relaxed physical alignment allows this energy to become resonant speech and vibration throughout the body. "Before that, whatever you do is just like chewing gum." "If you are not above these three guṇas, you cannot come forward." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia
