Morning Yoga excercise according to system Yoga in Daily Life from Mahaprabhudeep Ashram, Strilky, Czech Republic.

The path of Saṅkalpa requires pure intention, for a wish born from harming others fails and accrues karma, demanding return. Kalpa signifies vast cycles of time within which the soul wanders, though in truth, time is a product of movement within consciousness. Realization is to unite with the cosmic self, beyond time and space. The vessel of the heart determines what one can receive; doubt yields little, while purity receives much. Śiva is the most merciful, forgiving all mistakes of devotees who approach with sincere prayer, as shown to the hunter who showed compassion. The sacred mantra is the key offering. "Before we take a firm determination, one should think through whether one is hurting someone else. Otherwise, your Saṅkalpa will not be successful." "I will be the most gracious and merciful to all my devotees. It doesn't matter what mistake they have done. I will forgive everything." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Trāṭak is the sixth Haṭha Yoga purification, a practice of gazing on one point to concentrate and purify the sight. It uses a candle flame, a black spot, or the rising or setting sun, never direct sunlight. The flame is placed at arm's length, which strengthens eyesight and helps those who are short- or far-sighted. It trains the mind to focus on one point, calming scattered thoughts and vrittis, leading toward one-pointedness and meditation. Practice requires a peaceful place without drafts or disturbances, wearing loose, natural clothing to contain energy. The ideal flame height is at the heart center, as gazing on the outer light opens the heart chakra and leads to perception of the inner light. Pure ghee lamps are best, but a non-smoking plant-based candle is acceptable. Begin by gazing at the middle of the flame for 30 seconds, then close the eyes to observe the afterimage, repeating this cycle three times. Keep the body and eyes still, relaxing the eyebrow center. Do not practice if overly tired, or if experiencing schizophrenia or depression. "Trāṭak is not relaxation; it is not meditation. It is concentration." "Take this light, this flame, inside. This light is the symbol of the highest Self." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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?'"

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." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Life is obtained, but how should one live it? The human lifespan is divided into quarters for study, family, society, and final liberation. The ladder for this is Dharma, Artha, Kāma, and Mokṣa. The personality has perishable and immortal parts. The soul travels; the body has its lineage from five elements. We know only the physical body, but mind, intellect, and soul are reflected within it. The time in hand is always short. Only the present can be used. Be fully present with any task, such as eating. Concentrated eating alone can transform life and direct desires. The universe is made from Agni and Soma, a chain from the sun to rain to crops. The food we eat transforms through seven stages in the body, ultimately affecting desires and procreation. We have four components: body, mind, intellect, and soul. Everything is created from sound vibrations. Mantra practice moves from spoken sound to inner, formless repetition, a path to the soul. The mind is difficult to control as it is a reflection. Withdrawing from the world turns the senses inward. Detachment from all perishable things allows one to live in the present. In married life, man and woman are complementary halves, perfecting each other. Man is outwardly fiery, inwardly cool Soma; woman is outwardly cool, inwardly fiery. Their union is a stage of creation. Over 25 years, the wife shapes the husband, ultimately creating an aversion to turn him toward society and spiritual goals. The mother is the first teacher, shaping the soul in the womb. The final goal is enlightenment. "Today is the answer of life. I must use my present." "The woman is the creator of the world. She creates the man before she gives birth to the child." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The soul and karma are fundamentally intertwined. Karma is action, encompassing all doing, thinking, and speaking. Every action has a cause and creates an effect, which returns as a reaction to the actor. This cycle accounts for all steps, thoughts, and deeds. The universe itself is activity, or Kriyā. The individual soul, or Jīvātmā, is a manifestation of the supreme consciousness, born from primordial sound and wrapped in the elements. This soul carries its accumulated karma from life to life, migrating into forms according to its deeds. Human birth is a precious opportunity. Pain and fear are manifestations of negative karma. Liberation comes from self-realization, untangling the knots of karma through good actions and meditation, allowing the soul to dissolve back into the universal Ātman. "Karma means action, cause, action and effect." "The body dies, but the soul lives." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Prāṇa is the vital essence sustained through breath and nourishment. Prāṇāyāma regulates this life force. Do not practice breath retention without months of preparatory inhalation and exhalation, as it harms the respiratory system. This exercise fills the body's tissues with prāṇa, whose deficiency causes aging. Physical postures should enhance prāṇa flow, not deplete it through strain. True nourishment is fresh, sāttvic food containing great prāṇa, like fruits and vegetables. Avoid alcohol, old food, and tāmasic items like aged cheese, which diminish vitality. Health is built, not bought. Control your senses, especially taste. Practice āsanas and prāṇāyāma for about two hours daily. Haṭha Yoga's six techniques—Netī, Dhautī, Bastī, Naulī, Trāṭak, and Kapālabhātī—purify the body. Āsanas alone are not Haṭha Yoga; they belong to Rāja Yoga, which requires ethical observances. Yoga transcends body and mind; these practices repair the body for that journey. The Guru is essential for true realization. "Prāṇāyāma means 'āyāma'—exercise or regulation. Like āsanas are yoga Vyāyāma, this Vyāyāma is for every joint, muscle, ligament, and tissue." "Yoga is beyond the body and mind. These practices are for control, to repair your body and your path to reach yoga." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The annamaya kośa, the food sheath, is the first of five chambers of being. Its purity determines the mind's state. Vedic philosophy describes five sheaths, not the dietary laws of kosher or halal. True religion is based on non-violence, a principle declared millennia ago. Most who claim a faith do not follow its core tenets, lost in materialism. The physical body is born, grows, and dies, but must be purified for the soul. Food influences this through the three guṇas. Rajas brings restlessness; tamas brings laziness and ignorance. Tāmasik food includes meat, fish, eggs, and stale items. Consuming such food directly affects the mind's clarity and one's spiritual progress. A story illustrates this: a saint ate food procured by a thief and was overcome by a desire to steal a golden idol. His intellect was corrupted until the impure food was sweated out. The teaching is clear: as you eat, so your mind becomes. Therefore, one must consume sāttvic food and offer it to the divine before eating, transforming it into blessed prasāda. This purifies the annamaya kośa. "Jaisā khāyegā anna, vaisā rahegā mana." "Yogaś citta vṛtti nirodhaḥ." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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

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

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

Swamiji in Sliac.

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

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

The divine lineage is invoked and praised, its grace and power are extolled. The Guru is the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and spiritual attainment. The gathering is reminded of practical conduct. The supreme Lord bestows happiness, wealth, and removes all obstacles and diseases for the devoted. The one who longs for the divine is liberated from sins. The heart is awakened by the Guru's light, dispelling darkness forever. "Meditation's root is the Guru's form, worship's root is the Guru's feet, mantra's root is the Guru's word, attainment's root is the Guru's grace." "The one who has His darshan, his sins are washed away. The one who longs for Him, his sins are washed away." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."
