We will bring that divine light
0:25 - 1:13 (48 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. India is the store of knowledge and that knowledge reflects to the whole world. Vishwaguruji brought the pure essence of that knowledge to Europe. The knowledge of India belongs to everyone. There are people who are good speakers and there are others who really know the things hoew are they. Vishwaguruji is a combination of them. Practise and follow the words of our Master. Many people have only very limited knowledge about yoga in India also. Yoga brings different people to oneness. The story of Arjuna and the gopies. It is important to do our sadhana otherwise we become weak. The mantra is the essence of all energies and knowledge. We gained the light with our mantra. This light can change hell to heaven. The story of Mahamandaleswar Swami Vivekpuriji's younger age.
We can reach God through Satsang

Satsang means to be together with our good friends and speak about the truth. Bhajan singing.
The basics of ancient Indian philosophy
2:05 - 2:15 (10 min)
A guest lecture on Sanātana Dharma, Āyurveda, and the nature of wisdom versus science.
"Science is something that you discover. Science is where you discover wisdom; you don't discover this."
"So my question to my family this evening is that: what is that change? Because this is a dead organ. It's transplanted into a man or a woman who is alive. So why do the habits of this person change?"
Mr. Amasinghe, an Āyurveda specialist and devotee, addresses the gathering. He argues that Yoga and Āyurveda constitute a timeless wisdom, not a discoverable science, and laments the loss of historical evidence due to invasions. Using the analogy of an object that cannot be wet or burned, he points to the eternal Self (ātmā). He then discusses reported personality changes in organ transplant recipients, proposing an explanation based on the retention of a secondary prāṇa (dhānyamaya) in donated organs and the traditional necessity of cremation to release the final life force.

A spiritual discourse on conscious living, compassion for animals, and dietary choices.

"My dears, all animals or humans, we are living beings. They feel pain, and we also feel the pain."
The speaker, Swami Avatarpuri, leads a satsang exploring the spiritual and physical significance of milk, tracing its transformation from a mother's nourishment to yogurt, butter, and ghee. He emphasizes compassionate treatment of dairy animals, critiques modern industrial farming and meat consumption, and warns against the dangers of alcohol. The talk expands into themes of interfaith respect, daily prayer for forgiveness, and the inner beauty of the soul beyond physical form.

The name is important not the body
5:10 - 5:35 (25 min)
A spiritual discourse on unity, diversity, and the essence of yoga.
"In this Kali Yuga... The difference now is spirituality. You can call it yoga, meditation, prayer, or different religions, but we are all one."
"Holi Guruji said, 'One in all and all in one.'... We should not say, 'If you are not my disciple or my Gurujī’s disciple, then we do not want you.' That is not good."
The lecturer addresses a global television audience, emphasizing the underlying oneness of all spiritual paths, religions, and human beings despite different names and methods. Using analogies like children in a village, trees in a forest, and a football, he explains the philosophy of Yoga in Daily Life, stresses the importance of the immortal divine name over the physical body, and advocates for universal respect and inclusivity.

The mercy of Bhagavan Shiva
5:40 - 6:10 (30 min)
Śiva is the eternal source and protector beyond birth and form.
He is Ādi, the beginningless source from which all emerges. Śiva manifested Brahmā and Viṣṇu, assigning them roles: Brahmā creates, Viṣṇu preserves, and Śiva ultimately protects and dissolves. He maintains balance between all forces. The holy night of Mahāśivarātri commemorates his grace. A desperate hunter, failing to find food, climbed a Bīlva tree. Water from his vessel and leaves he dropped fell onto a Śiva Liṅga below, unknowingly performing worship. Throughout the night, he was moved to compassion and spared the lives of pleading deer. By dawn, Śiva, pleased with this inadvertent devotion, blessed the hunter and his family with sustenance, forbidding further killing. Śiva is Bholenāth, the easily pleased lord who grants boons to simple, sincere hearts, turning even accidental or flawed actions into devotion.
"Śiva is not born; he has no mother, no son, and no father. He is the father; it is he who manifests himself."
"So when man was there and Śiva came and Śiva said, 'I will protect these deer and I protect your families.'"

Stories are within you
6:15 - 7:13 (58 min)
A morning satsang on the guru's grace, devotion, and the power of teaching through stories.
"Na’haṁ kartā means we are not the doer. We cannot do it. If we think we do, it may be confusing. So we give it with both our hands; we surrender it at the holy feet of Mahāprabhujī."
"So, when someone asks you, and you give… The answer first to them. First, give your answers... The answer is yours because you are now a great man."
The speaker, Swami Avatarpuri, opens with the principle of surrender to the guru's grace. He uses analogies, like a sculptor transforming stone into a worshipped deity, to illustrate how devotion elevates the ordinary. He shares a parable about a poor man whose selfless act of seeking answers for others ultimately solves his own plight, emphasizing the power of selfless service and positive speech. The talk concludes with personal anecdotes about the value of stories as a tool for learning and connection.

Prana and pranayam
7:20 - 8:07 (47 min)
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."

10:40 - 12:09 (89 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Ljubljana, Slovenia. Satsang is the life of the human and it will lead us to the cosmic. Alakhpuriji was at the Siva time when the world was balanced between negative and positive. We need regularly meditate, practice pranayama and be in the company of good people otherwise we lose our spirituality. We can develop only step by step in this path. Many of us visited Alakhpurijis and Devpurijis cave to have darshan. Holiguruji had written in one bhajan that Mahaprabujis wisdom will spread all over the world before it happened. Now we can use it or lose it. The story of Devpurijis visit to Holiguruji. The story of Mahaprabhuji and Vishwaguruji with rudraksh malas.

The Science of Yoga and the Awakening of Inner Energy
12:15 - 13:30 (75 min)
Yoga is the science of balancing body, mind, and consciousness, originating from the cosmic consciousness of Śiva. Two governing powers exist: divine and devilish forces, balanced by one cosmic energy, Yogamāyā. Yoga harmonizes our elements and is the mother of all spirituality. Its ultimate goal is union, the reunion of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. This cosmic consciousness is the one formless God within all creatures. Human intellect is unique and can be trained toward this realization. The body contains energy channels, nāḍīs, and centers, chakras. The three main nāḍīs are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā, through which consciousness flows. Chakras can be awakened through practice like prāṇāyāma and meditation. We possess five bodies, with the soul residing within. Liberation, mokṣa, is complete oneness with God, requiring the surrender of personal ego. Karma, our action, is in our hands until performed; then it becomes destiny. Our roots and destiny are in the Mūlādhāra Chakra. The human body is a precious opportunity for God-realization through self-knowledge. The practice of yoga, including positive action, tolerance, and love, is a path to peace and unity.
"Yoga means union: the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness."
"Know thyself is the answer to all your questions. Know thyself is the end of all your sufferings."

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 1 - Part 2
23:00 - 0:04 (64 min)
Morning Yoga Practice from the Yoga in Daily Life System.
We continue with morning āsanas. Begin in Ānanda Āsana. Lie down comfortably, adjusting your pelvis and shoulders. Take a deep breath and relax your whole body from toes to head. Systematically relax each part: first the right leg, then the left leg, then both arms, abdomen, chest, throat, and face. Feel the muscles becoming heavy and soft. Become aware of your natural breath. Place one hand on your stomach and one on your chest to feel the full yoga breath wave from abdomen to collarbones. Begin coordinating simple stretches with this breath. Inhale as arms rise overhead; exhale as they return. Notice the natural pause between breaths. Perform side stretches and diagonal stretches, keeping your lower back pressed to the floor. Stretch both sides simultaneously, feeling a pull from fingertips to heels. Roll from side to side like a piece of wood. Perform a supine twist with straight legs to affect the spinal muscles. Practice raising your head and knees in Pavanamuktāsana. Move to a seated Vajrāsana for spine extension and flexion. Practice Marjari, the cat pose, arching and rounding the spine with the breath. Perform grinding rotations for the abdomen. Stand for chest expansion, swimming movements, upper body twists, and side bends. Conclude by lying back in Ānanda Āsana for full relaxation and breath awareness. Sit for prāṇāyāma, practicing Nāḍī Śodhana. Chant the closing mantra.
"Relax your whole body from the toes to the top of the head and from the top of the head to the toes."
"Coordinate your practice with your breath. Wait for the breath and add your practice to your natural breathing process."
