Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (9/9)
1:00 - 2:14 (74 min)
Recorded on
A morning sādhana sequence integrates breath, movement, and awareness. Begin by warming the body with gentle stretches and deep breathing. Practice foundational āsanas like Pavanamuktāsana and Marjaryāsana to activate the spine and muscles. Flow through a warming sequence, coordinating each motion with inhalation and exhalation. Perform forward bends and backbends, focusing on alignment and the stretch without pain. Incorporate inverted postures to affect circulation and glands. Conclude with prāṇāyāma to regulate energy and a period of silent observation. The practice strengthens the body, deepens the breath, and calms the mind. "Marjaryāsana is a wonderful morning āsana, stretching your back muscles and activating your spine." "Observe your breath, and feel the effects of the āsanas." Filming location: Umag, Croatia
The real Guru is in oneness
2:20 - 3:21 (61 min)
Recorded on
Devotion is a singular reality, expressed through many names and forms. The genuine saint or deity does not demand exclusive worship, for the divine essence is one. All human distinctions of country, color, or language are ultimately irrelevant. We gather to sing and remember this unity, honoring the lineage of teachers who point toward it. Each moment of life is profoundly precious, like a bullet fired that cannot be recalled. Our vital energy, or prāṇa, is the very force of life and feeling within the body. To concentrate on this prāṇa is to connect with the divine source. The spiritual journey requires great purity, akin to walking a sharp edge. Our inner negativity can cause regression, while cultivating oneness leads toward merging with the infinite, like a drop returning to the ocean. All external religious forms are like different names for the same water; the essence is one. "Because the real one is in oneness. If any God were to say, 'Do not worship this other God,' then neither is that God right, nor are you good for following such a command." "Your heart should be my heart. Your mind should be my mind. Feelings must be my feelings, everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Instructions for mantra practicing
3:25 - 4:22 (57 min)
Recorded on
The disciple's joy depends solely on the guru's grace. The guru's blessings are transmitted through a living master or the enduring spiritual presence of the lineage. A true disciple follows the Satguru without question, maintaining a dedicated personal practice. The physical lineage chair represents the eternal guru principle. Spiritual progress requires surrendering worldly attachments and mental fixations, as the story illustrates where avoiding a physical touch fostered a mental obsession. The goal is a merger where all distinctions dissolve. Practice regularly but without neglecting worldly duties. "Many people may not understand. They think that if their guru is not physically present anymore, they must have some other guru." "If Gurudev says something and we say, 'No, it is not good,' then we have gone to the other side." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Karma and koshas
4:30 - 5:26 (56 min)
Recorded on
The aim of human life is to realize the soul and return to God. The soul undergoes cycles of birth and death, experiencing the astral world and various forms of life, from vegetation to human birth. Human life is a difficult journey where one must navigate consequences, or karma, for all actions. The intellect is a powerful tool, but it must connect the brain to the heart. Causing suffering to any creature creates pain that returns. Life in all realms is challenging, and one must strive for liberation from this cycle. The physical body is the first sheath, the annamaya kośa, sustained by pure nourishment. The second sheath is the prāṇamaya kośa, the energy body vitalized by breath. "Do not go against the nature. Otherwise, you will have consequences." "When we create difficulties for someone, the pain will reflect to us, much more than that one is suffering." Filming location: Alexandria, USA
Past is gone future is not here yet
5:30 - 6:14 (44 min)
Recorded on
The path is to be present, letting go of past and future. You have practiced and received knowledge. Our way is to be relaxed and normal, not straining or focusing oddly. What we seek is to know the Self. We follow a given path but must understand it ourselves. We are human with knowledge, yet we do not know what comes after this life. Do not dwell on the past; it is gone like an exhale. We often live in memories or future thoughts, not in the present. Suffering in the present will not last. We must come into our heart and thoughts to be one. Forget the past; your future path will be good. What you have now is here; do not lose it by grasping for more. "Do not meditate and concentrate on what is gone; learning is gone." "The past is gone. The present is here. But you think, 'In the future, I will also get this.' But you will not get it."

Shivaratri Satsang with Vishwaguruji
6:20 - 6:55 (35 min)
Recorded on
We are the essence of Śiva, Śakti, and the Guru. From primordial space emerged three elements: space, air, and fire, associated with Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. Śiva and Śakti are one unified power, with Śakti as the dynamic force and Śiva as the conscious principle, manifesting as duality within a single body. This power is in all things. The five elements—water, earth, fire, air, and space—are alive and conscious. Our individual ātmā is like a drop from the ocean of universal consciousness; we are never separate. Everyone is a guru, as a guru is one who imparts knowledge, from a parent to a teacher. All spiritual paths and rituals, like holy water, connect to this one power. Do not reject helpers like doctors, for we may need them. True knowledge unites the scientist and the spiritual guru. "Śiva and Śakti, Śakti is the power, great, everything, and the other is that Śiva." "We are all one, and we have one heart here and our ātmā here." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Yoga Nidra or bhajan singing is like meditation
7:05 - 8:20 (75 min)
Recorded on
The yogi's conscious sleep is a state of awakened rest known only to rare, accomplished beings. In this sleep, one remains inwardly aware, turning night into day. It is a sleep of alertness, not unconsciousness. This practice transcends ordinary relaxation, which is often misunderstood. Common yoga relaxation is mistakenly called the corpse pose, implying death. It should be understood as the bliss pose, representing fullness of life. The practice must be inclusive, free from sectarian symbols so all may benefit. True relaxation means being so profoundly at peace that no external disturbance, like a cobra crossing your path, can create inner agitation. The body rests, but consciousness remains luminous and awake. "In that sleep, one remains awake and turns night into day." "This sleep is known only to the rare, accomplished being." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
Yoga Nidra: The Yogi's Conscious Sleep
8:25 - 9:16 (51 min)
Recorded on
Yoga Nidra is a state of conscious sleep, a deep relaxation with full awareness. Prepare by finding a comfortable position to remain motionless. Begin by forming a Śaṅkalpa, a positive resolve for yourself and others, repeating it three times. Relax the body completely through a detailed scan from the toes to the crown of the head. Bring awareness to the breath, feeling the prāṇa flow in the abdomen, chest, and throat. Listen to the inner sound of the breath, so'ham. Conclude by reaffirming your Śaṅkalpa three times, then gradually return awareness to the body and the surroundings. "Try to remain motionless throughout the entire practice, not moving, while at the same time staying awake and not falling asleep." "Relax completely, but remain fully aware, conscious of the energy flow." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
How to overcome the obstacles of practicing
9:20 - 10:38 (78 min)
Recorded on
The chakras contain immense power we must master, requiring guidance. From Mūlādhāra to Viśuddhi, these centers mix human and animal qualities. The Svādhiṣṭhāna generates waves of passion that can sweep us away. The Kuṇḍalinī lies dormant until awakened. The three nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā—wind left and right; when knowledge dawns, energy flows straight. A coiled snake represents the three guṇas, which pull us downward. Our desires create holes through which energy drains. The Maṇipūra Chakra is the seat of sound and fire. Viṣṇu resides in the navel, resting on the ocean of purity. Regular practice of prāṇāyāma like Bhastrikā and Kapālabhāti energizes the body from this center. Reading scriptures must move from intellect to heart. Knowledge requires daily churning and application over time. "Strive for oneness, purity, without blemish. Do not stain your body." "Our life may be ending, but we should not waste time. If we die today, let us use these minutes productively." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand
We are a part of God
10:45 - 11:55 (70 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is one unified path, though taught under many names. It extends far beyond physical postures to encompass the entire life force and consciousness. The practice integrates all aspects of nature, as seen in the 84 traditional āsanas inspired by animals and elements. This discipline is lifelong, like the breath itself, and aims to balance the body's five principles with nature. The ultimate goal is for the individual soul, or jīva, to realize its divine nature and ascend to the highest cosmic consciousness, ending the cycle of rebirth among the 8.4 million life forms. While worldly knowledge progresses outwardly, the yogi's path is an inward journey to the Self. All creatures possess the will to live, and humans must recognize the divine Ātmā within themselves and all beings, moving from identifying with the limited drop to merging with the boundless ocean. "Yoga is not only physical, for the physical body, or just breath and concentration, etc. Yoga is very far-reaching." "Your soul, your ātmā in you is your God." Filming location: Slovenia

Guru Purnima 2025 - Celebration from Om Ashram
12:00 - 14:45 (165 min)
Recorded on
The auspicious occasion of Guru Pūrṇimā is celebrated to honor the guiding light of the spiritual teacher. This gathering is not an ordinary place, for where the Guru resides, the Supreme God resides. Human life, among all forms, is uniquely endowed with the capacity for knowledge and discernment. The world is an ocean of sorrows, and the Sadguru is the one who enables the crossing of this ocean. The Guru dispels the darkness of ignorance and leads towards the light of the Divine. Spiritual knowledge is essential; without it, one cannot attain peace regardless of worldly success. The Guru acts as a mediator, uniting the individual with God. Therefore, one must follow the path shown by the Guru, dedicating time daily for mantra, prayer, and satsaṅg. This practice cultivates righteousness and divine love in one's life. "Gurudev takes out light from this worldly darkness and says, 'Paramātmā rūpī prakāśa.'" "Until you have spiritual knowledge in your life, until you don't have a Guru in your life... you can never attain peace." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Pollution
12:25 - 13:26 (61 min)
Recorded on
The five sheaths, from the physical to the bliss body, define our being and are shaped by our nourishment. The physical sheath, annamaya kośa, is formed from food. The energy sheath, prāṇamaya kośa, arises from that nourishment. The mental, wisdom, and bliss sheaths follow sequentially. What you consume determines your energy, mind, knowledge, and ultimate state. Modern habits have corrupted this natural order, replacing pure, sāttvic nourishment with harmful substances and actions, leading to disease and mental disturbance. A pure diet creates pure energy and a serene mind, guiding one toward true happiness. The path is obstructed by base desires and endless argument, which must be surrendered through attentive listening to divine guidance. "Jaisā khāī annā, vaisā rahe man. What kind of nourishment or food you eat, like that will be your mind." "Your nourishment, your energy, then your mentality, the mind." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand
Questions and answers from Debrecen
13:30 - 14:10 (40 min)
Recorded on
A yogic path integrates self-sufficient living with disciplined practice. Begin a farm with both greenhouse and organic garden crops, developing it from a hobby into a community offering yoga retreats. The first spiritual step is dietary control: consume limited, home-prepared meals without sweets or junk food. Fast for four to five hours between meals, consuming only water. This discipline eliminates most bodily difficulties, strengthens immunity, and supports meditation, which requires a mantra. Prāṇāyāma cleanses physical diseases, and satsaṅg with virtuous friends is essential. Avoid all intoxicants, as they embody destructive energies. Prefer local, seasonal, organic produce; soy is nutritious only if organic. Raw milk is healthful, but regulations sometimes adulterate it. True practice requires organizing life around these principles. "Meditation without a mantra is a body without a soul." "Prāṇāyāma will tell them, 'Get out of this body! What are you doing here?'"

Bhajan evening from Vienna 2
16:30 - 17:24 (54 min)
Recorded on
Surrender to the divine master is the path to liberation. The highest god is the ruler of all and resides within every cell. The true guru is ever-present, as the scriptures confirm. Those who surrender live without fear and attain the highest happiness. Constant repetition of the divine name allows one to cross the ocean of worldly existence. This world is a temporary play of coming and going; no worldly relation or possession aids the soul at death. Therefore, one must place one's entire life, success, and abilities into the hands of the immortal beloved. The final goal is liberation and eternal union with God. "O Gurudev, please protect me from this net of Māyā." "I gave you the whole responsibility over my life." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Singing Bhajans to the Masters
17:30 - 18:11 (41 min)
Recorded on
The radiance of satsaṅg, or holy company, is supreme. This association is the root cause of divine illumination. From satsaṅg, one attains the highest bliss and joy. It is praised as victorious and glorious. Worldly fears cannot touch one engaged in true satsaṅg. It is likened to the fragrance of sandalwood that permeates all it touches. This gathering is the essential means for realizing the divine presence within. "Oh satsaṅga jaya jana pā, Maliya garā kevai, Oh chandana melevo Svāmpaka satsaṅga tasi parama ānanda sukha pā." "Hameṁ kāma-satsaṅga se jagata-bhake to baka nehīṁ de." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The heart is an endless ocean of divine bliss. Salutations are offered to the revered spiritual guide, who is the embodiment of the supreme. A prayer is made for all endeavors to be successful. This prayer acknowledges that all actions are already accomplished. The sequence presents a shift from future aspiration to past completion. The apparent inconsistency reveals a non-linear understanding of time. Success is not a future event but a present reality recognized through grace. The work is done in the spirit of that accomplished perfection. "make all my work successful." "And indeed, everything I do is accomplished successfully." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Guru Tattva
19:25 - 20:25 (60 min)
Recorded on
The essence of Guru Tattva is the universal, immortal Self. The one original seed, Brahman, multiplies while its life, the light of the ātmā, remains unchanged. This ātmā enters various forms but is singular and everlasting; only the form and its elements change. The individual is movable, while the universal is steady. The Guru principle is that very ātmā, the inner dweller in all. It is addressed with titles like Śrī, denoting prosperity and holiness, reflecting spiritual reality, not mere worldly roles. "Gu" is darkness, "ru" is light; the Guru is the light of the Self leading from ignorance. One who realizes this and possesses equal vision, love, and non-violence is a Mahātmā. Its opposite is Pāpātmā, a soul bound by violence and sin, destined for suffering. The highest human quality is Puruṣottama, attained through spiritual discipline, representing the divine within. Harming any creature harms that inner ātmā. The Guru Tattva is the antaryāmī, the inner ruler of all moving and non-moving beings. "Śrīguru ātmā paramātmā ho, mātmā puruṣottama, sakala jagakī antara jānī, cara acara kī ātmā." "Gu is darkness, and ru is light. So who, then, is Śrī Guru? The Ātmā."

Great Saints set an example
20:30 - 21:30 (60 min)
Recorded on
Dharma is the universal principle of rightness, distinct from modern religious constructs. Many great beings, including Jesus and ancient ṛṣis, have suffered for truth. Common yoga is a science for well-being, akin to a parent calming a child. A higher meditation exists for those spiritually educated with tolerance. Satsaṅg inspires and calms through knowledge and devotion, while kusaṅg includes sound pollution and addiction. Study the lives of all saints to understand their consciousness and sacrifice. Dharma must be upheld once promised, as seen in historical examples of unwavering commitment. Every being has a protective dharma, like a mother to her child. The Supreme watches all karma. Read wisely, filtering inspiration without becoming argumentative or changing views with every new author. The essence of all scripture is the law of cause and effect upon one's own self. Practice looking within to read the chapter of your own life. "If you give pleasure to others, you will receive pleasure. If you give trouble to others, you will receive trouble." "Read the chapter of your own life. How many chapters have you begun? How many remain empty or incomplete?" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Explanation of how to live a happy life, how to take care of the family. Shakti and Ancestors should be respected. Introduction of the Devi that should be worshipped on the third day of Navratri.
Follow the Guruvakyas and practice
22:40 - 23:38 (58 min)
Recorded on
The essence of spiritual life is consistent practice within a supportive community. Our tradition's bhajans contain the complete path. True progress requires personal effort, not merely listening. Association shapes habit: spiritual company fosters spirituality, while negative influences divert you. Many attend lectures but avoid practice, which is like discussing food without eating. Practice purifies karma and sustains spiritual health, just as discipline manages physical health. Without practice, initial spiritual love fades. Maintain your personal system—physical, mental, and spiritual. Life flows like a river, governed by karma and natural principles. Ultimately, success depends on following the Guru's instruction and grace. Your practice brings your benefit; neglect brings none. "Jaisā kare saṅg, vaisā lāge raṅg. With whom you associate, you will take on that habit or color." "If you eat, your stomach will be filled. So I say to you personally: please do practice, not only in class but at home too." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
What Is The Guru
23:45 - 0:45 (60 min)
Recorded on
The seven days are Brahmavākya, the eternal words of Brahman, established by the Saptaṛṣis who reside in Antarīkṣa. This earth is Mṛtyu Loka, a junction of coming and going, and our Karma Bhūmi where we perform action. One must honor their Janmabhūmi, the place of birth, and their Dharma Bhūmi, the land of spiritual heritage. Modern civilization neglects this, leading to greed, dishonesty, and the theft of spiritual wealth like yoga. The body is a temple for the soul, which must be kept pure. True Gurudeva is not the physical form but the embodiment of knowledge—Brahmānanda, paramasukhada, kevalaṁ jñānamūrti—unmovable, spotless, and beyond the three Guṇas. This realization requires lifelong practice of Brahma Vidyā. "Without coming to this earth, your development will not be there. You came here to make karma, to work." "Your body is the temple of your spirit, the temple of your soul, your Ātmā." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
