The subject is detachment and the true Self. The soul seeks to merge into oneness with the Supreme, like space containing all things. This unity is eternal but difficult, as it requires releasing all attachment. Attachment to wealth, body, and relationships creates conditions and suffering. Renunciation is challenging. One must break attachment to join with God. Nothing belongs to you—not body, thoughts, or intellect. Only the soul is eternal. When the soul departs, no one accompanies it. We must move beyond duality and concepts of "mine" to realize the true Self as boundless consciousness. This is not a mental understanding but a state of being. "I am neither the mind, intellect, nor the elements. I am that eternal blissful consciousness." "There is only one God. The duality we perceive is a human creation."

Holy water is a gift of purification for all occasions, representing positive thought and clean energy. Physical and mental dust are constant, requiring regular cleansing like washing the hands. The body's skin is a sensitive, self-cleaning organ that must be cared for naturally. Avoid artificial products like commercial creams, lipsticks, and soaps containing alcohol, which dry and damage the skin. Use pure water, natural oils, butter, or earth instead. The physical body, the annamaya kośa, is sustained by vegetarian food and simple daily practices. Yoga āsanas and prāṇāyāma are essential for health, focusing on gentle movement over extreme postures. Strengthen bones with natural oils and ghee, not through meat consumption. Practice simple exercises regularly, even for seconds at a time, to maintain the body. True care comes from natural substances and consistent, moderate practice. "Give this to all your friends and everybody for Christmas." "Holy means the clean and have a good energy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Karma connects all life, seen and unseen. It is not only for humans but for every creature, tree, and stone. Our actions and experiences are intertwined through karmic bonds we may not understand. A creature dies suddenly on the road; we feel a connection. A tree lives for thousands of years, rooted through seasons, yet its leaves scatter on the wind, and its life can end from unseen forces within, like insects drawn by piled bark. Even a stone has life, becoming dust, then part of a body again. Time is nothing, yet it brings all things. Therefore, we must act with goodness. Do not give negativity; bring good again. Help others, as one man helped a beaten stranger. We should not fight or speak ill, for we are human. All life—trees, animals, grass—is our mother and father, giving us sustenance. We must protect it, not needlessly destroy. Our current way, cutting vast forests for profit, shows humans are not good. Yet, we can choose differently. Do good for all. "Karma is in everything." "Time is nothing, time is nothing. Wait, wait, but it means that time comes." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Dharma Daṇḍa is the principle that protecting dharma ensures its protection of you. We have learned about our inner self, not the outside. In ancient times, kings first bowed to their gurus. Upon receiving the crown, they were no longer for their family but for the whole country. If you protect dharma, dharma will protect you. This principle applies to kingdoms and spiritual lineages. The daṇḍa, or staff, is the dharma daṇḍa. It is not for beating but is the principle itself. A guru once struck a king's head three times with the daṇḍa, saying to protect dharma. This staff symbolizes authority for all, not for one's own circle. Similarly, in Christianity, the pastoral staff is the shepherd's daṇḍa. At the Kumbh Melā, spiritual leaders carry the daṇḍa as a traditional symbol of this authority. The daṇḍa must be treated with holiness. Like a shepherd's dog that protects the flock following its master's instruction, the daṇḍa represents the duty to protect. Uphold the principle, and it will uphold you. "Dharma rakṣita rakṣita. If we protect dharma, if we uphold it, then dharma will protect us." "This daṇḍa is the dharma daṇḍa. That dharma gives daṇḍa." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Purification arises from understanding Vedic Dharma as a way of life, not a religion. The essence of the Vedas is Vedānta, contained in the Upaniṣads and Purāṇas. This teaching is received by sitting near the master. The ultimate essence is that giving happiness brings happiness, and giving trouble brings trouble. Purification requires discipline, anuṣṭhāna, and sādhanā, surrendering all sorrows. Masters take on the destinies of devotees. One must not doubt, as doubt leads to suffering. Vedic Dharma teaches respect for all elements: water, earth, fire, air, and ether. Pollution exists because this respect is lost. All living creatures are a light of God; harming them is harming the divine self. The human duty is to realize all creatures are one's own ātmā. What must be done should be done now. "Brahma satyaṁ, jagat mithyā." "Sabhī prāṇī merī ātmā hai." Filming location: Nepal

The quality of our era is determined by our inner state. While some lament this age, it offers unique tools like rapid travel and distant connection. The key is to extract only the nourishing essence from the vast information, like the swan separating milk from water. Our experience of time depends on our inner qualities. This gathering is a timeout to calm our inner dialogue, not to escape life but to gain clarity before re-engaging. We require the support of our spiritual family for strength. Utilize this time for serious practice, particularly prāṇāyāma to settle the agitated mind and prāṇa. Calm the body through deliberate movement to quiet mental disturbances. Simplify your environment and focus intently, avoiding distractions like constant drinking which disrupts inner fire and focus. Move from mere belief to direct understanding. "Take the pearls, take the milk, and leave the water." "Our meditation and practice are not about running away but about taking a timeout before returning to the game."

One word transmits a message to all, like rain falling equally on every creature. In difficulty, know you are carried by God, not abandoned. A true yogi, beyond all ritual, desires nothing, not even from Shiva. The soul is spotless, like the endless sky. Our body is a temporary shell; the eternal Ātmā within is one with the Guru's heart. Purification is for the mind, but the soul itself is already pure. "When the difficult time comes, then you should know that you are now with God." "Ask anything. He said, 'Okay, if you want to ask me anything, then get up.' What he said to Shiva, 'Go from here.'" Filming location: Dungog, New South Wales, Australia

Evening satsang from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Bhajan singing. Swami Umapuri says some words about her spiritual development in the Jadan Ashram. She spoke about her experiences with Yoga Nidra. She explains the bhajans of Swami Sivananda and Bhagwan Sri Deep Mahaprabhuji.

Greed destroys spiritual progress, causing a fall regardless of one's efforts. A hardworking man saw an advertisement for a magical golden egg promising wealth. Consumed by greed, he spent all his savings on it, quit his job, and isolated himself to guard it. He eventually cracked the egg, finding only an empty, painted shell. He lost everything. This illustrates how greed corrupts discernment. Another story tells of a rich man who abandoned everything to collect gold from a mythical land. He filled his bag endlessly, forgetting to eat or drink, and died there, still collecting. A true account involves a dedicated swami who left his guru to reclaim ancestral land. After selling it, he bought a motorbike and invested in a business, but met with ruin, ending up serving tea by a roadside. These stories show greed's destructive power, which can be countered by constant remembrance of the guru, not just in distress. Mantra practice requires correct technique, purity of heart, and devotion, which ultimately transcend mere rules. "It doesn’t matter how much work we do and grow higher and higher, and then one of these things comes and we roll down the mountain." "When the virus of greed comes, then we see nothing."

This place is a sanctuary of purity and spiritual well-being. It is full of prāṇa and very good for health, as our environment here is clean and free from chemicals. The natural water flows, the healthy trees, and the pure air create a healing atmosphere. People recover from ailments and stress through meditation, prāṇāyāma, and satsaṅg. This is a retreat from the modern world's pollution and materialism. We observe that modern comforts and money often lead to loss and dissatisfaction, unlike the simple, pure life here. The ashram fosters positive community, spiritual practice, and a return to natural living. It is a place for healing, happiness, and reconnecting with essential purity. "All 24 hours and in every direction, we are very clean, with no chemicals inside. This is very much our heritage, our health." "In every country, for all people, there must be yoga in daily life. There must not be yoga." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A true holiday is for inner contemplation, not external distraction. Ancient seekers valued solitude to reflect on life and meditate. Modern holidays often involve noise and escapism, which drown the inner voice. Spiritual progress requires revitalizing the mind through satsang and the Guru's presence. This gathering is an opportunity for solitary reflection amidst community. Utilize this time to recharge spiritual energy and leave worldly concerns behind. Unity with spiritual family provides essential support in this age. "To progress in spirituality, we need inner evolution. The only way for that is to be in satsang, to have darśan with a self-realized person, a Guru, and to be in peace." "If we want to quit a bad habit, we need a support group and must be that support for each other." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Welcome back, and remember the three books containing all wisdom. We are very happy for your return after three months. While waiting, I recalled Swāmījī's teaching from years ago. He said he had given us everything through three books: a yoga book, a chakra book, and the Līlā Amṛt. He explained that all answers are there. For a physical problem, consult the yoga book. For spiritual development, see the chakra book. For bhakti, turn to Līlā Amṛt, our bible. This thought came at the airport. So we have everything with Swāmījī here and in these books. We are happy to see you and wish you a good time here, with less stress. We look forward to satsaṅg and lectures. "You only have to look in those three books. Everything is explained there." "When you have any problem with your bhakti, look into our bible: the Līlā Amṛt, the Living Light." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

A clear aim is essential to prevent the intellect from becoming a destructive distraction. Without a definite purpose, the mind wavers among endless possibilities, changing direction with every new suggestion. This lack of clarity makes one susceptible to external influences and gossip, which act like poison, spoiling spiritual practice as lemon curdles milk. Negative talk and jealousy introduce destructive thoughts that can damage years of spiritual effort. One must therefore cultivate an intensive, unwavering aim and avoid all sources of negative influence. Protect your consciousness from harmful information that creates doubt and disturbs your peace. Spiritual progress requires guarding the mind and maintaining humility, allowing the intellect to become a supportive tool rather than an obstacle. "Your aim must be very clear, intensive, and good. Nothing should be able to change you." "One stupid thought, one stupid person, can destroy all your spiritual sādhanā." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 180a

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Simhasth Kumbha Mela in Ujjain, India. Shiva consciousness and energy is present in the whole Universe. Our being is one with Shiva like a drop of water is one with the ocean. Nothing is without Shiva.

Life is governed by the natural order of the moon, sun, and water. The moon's movement directly influences our inner being and balances the Earth. Water is life itself, essential for all beings and the land. Modern interference with natural rhythms causes suffering. Changing clocks disrupts animals and human practices. Consuming fruits from opposing climates introduces conflicting energies and can cause illness. Aligning with natural cycles is crucial for health and harmony. The Guru's grace is the essential guide on this path. "Life is very connected to the moon." "Water is life. Life is water." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Seek refuge in the Guru to cross the ocean of worldly existence and attain liberation. You are trapped in the cycle of birth and death, where all possessions and relationships are ultimately left behind. The Guru is the means to cross this ocean, destroying inner enemies like desire and anger. By taking shelter and consciously repeating the divine name, one can be freed from ignorance. The goal is a transcendent state beyond birth, death, and karma, described as indescribable light and eternity. This state is sought through complete surrender, offering all aspects of life—success, defeat, work, and love—into divine hands. The aim is to live in the world yet remain pure, with the single task of reaching the divine. "O Gurudev, you are the means of crossing the ocean of worldliness." "Oh Lord, I offer all my work and all my mistakes into your hands." Filming location: Austria

Devotion to the Guru is the sole refuge from worldly suffering. No earthly relation can offer salvation from the ocean of illusion. The mind is blind and the heart's austerity falters without grace. Surrender completely, seeking not worldly boons but unwavering devotion itself. Only the Guru's mercy can guide the soul to the shore and reveal the supreme happiness found at the holy feet. All else is transient; the Guru's name is the true path. "The loyalty and devotion to you, Guru Deva. When this exists, all worries go away." "Please... bless me with devotion—not with good things—and protect me from my blind mind." Filming location: Austria

Evening Satsang with H.H.Vishwaguruji from Vienna, Austria. Bhajan singing.

Live webcast from Melbourne, Australia. We all know the heart, the seat of love and life. Many people have problems with their hearts. I want to show you some simple exercises that are very good for the health of the heart. Practice and demonstration.

The Guru's light manifests on earth as pure knowledge, requiring a living guide for correct spiritual practice. This divine principle, the Guru Tattva, is the same in all true teachers, yet disciples share an intimate, familial connection with their own. The guru's physical form is a vessel for this light; entering its radiant aura transforms one's energy. Even in the guru's physical absence, gathering with devotion in satsaṅg magnetically draws that divine presence. The quality of satsaṅg depends on the participants' internal energy. Approach it not as obligation but with joy, for your own energy determines the atmosphere. To elevate personal energy, engage in singing bhajans. Consciously replace negative thoughts with positive ones to rewire the mind toward happiness. A spiritual life must be a life of joy and inspiration, rooted in the constant feeling of connection to the divine. "When bhaktas are together and singing my name, thinking on me, the Hari, the God, that divine energy comes to that place." "Satsaṅg is not an obligation, but satsaṅg is a joy."

Disease arises from internalizing life's pressures, not from external forces themselves. This internal stress creates bodily pressure, a primary cause of illness. Inherited conditions also exist. The path of yoga integrates simple postures, breath control, and meditation into daily life, alongside dietary and sleep adjustments. Meditation must be approached correctly. Never strain the eyes upward, as this causes psychic problems and blocks progress. Focus gently downward or on the tip of the nose. True guidance comes from a living tradition, not solely from books. Many established religions have become blocked, relying on scripture without the living presence of the divine. The divine is within each being; every creature possesses a soul. The supreme principle is non-violence. Harming other living beings, including animals, creates suffering and negative consequences. Liberation requires aligning with this truth through compassionate living and correct inner practice. "Slowly, this internal pressure becomes the cause of many, many diseases." "Therefore, the meditation is called Nāsik, focusing on the tip of the nose. Our eyes should look gently downward." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Death is a transition, not an end, for those on the spiritual path. The fear of death arises from thought, but it is a universal law. The Guru prepares the devotee, freeing them from the cycle of death and rebirth through grace and devotion. Surrender to the Guru, without ego or expectation, opens the heart to become one with the Supreme. Spiritual growth is like climbing a mountain; do not give up, but pause and seek the Guru's strength to continue. Utilize spiritual gifts wisely, not wastefully, to sustain your journey. The ultimate goal is liberation and union. "For those who follow the spiritual path, for those who have Guru Bhakti... the Guru prepares them, and then they know there is nothing to be worried about." "The Guru is the one who actually frees us from that cycle. Gurudev is the one who frees us from this cycle." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang from Jadan Ashram, Rajsthan, India. Two things are important in our lives. What we eat and what we breathe. Yoga in Daily Life are practiced all over the world. Sarva Hitta asanas are good for everyone. Proper exercise is as important to us as food.

The choice between positivity and negativity is a fundamental spiritual decision. One must not judge others without knowing the full story, as appearances are deceptive. The people and atmosphere one chooses directly shape the mind's development. Ultimately, the path is a personal choice. There are four types of grace: divine grace, the grace of parents and teachers, the supreme grace of the Guru, and one's own grace. The Guru shows the path but does not force the disciple; one's own effort is crucial. Cultivate gratitude for what you have, as craving more leads to misery, exemplified by the farmer who became unhappy after finding 99 coins. Do not seek faults in others, for that draws their negativity onto oneself. Negativity is often more alluring, but positive association is essential for growth. Even animals sense intention, as when a saint's negative thought drove swans away. Use discrimination to choose the positive path. Spiritual progress depends on personal choice, Guru's grace, and righteous living. "Guru kṛpā hi kevalam, śiṣya ānanda maṅgalam."
