A gentle yoga practice integrates postures, breath, and awareness of the subtle energy channels. Begin by lying on the stomach, placing the elbows down with care. Slowly sit up into a kneeling posture, sitting on the heels with hands on the thighs. The body contains many energy channels, or nāḍīs, with three primary ones: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. A central channel is the Vajra Nāḍī, a source of immense power for the whole body, related to the area between the toes. Practice involves specific postures like kneeling backbends and seated forward folds, coordinating movement with breath. The practice of Sarvahitāsana benefits all systems of the body. Conclude with listening practices and Brahmrī Prāṇāyāma to cultivate inner balance and self-awareness through sound. Regular, simple practice leads to ease. "There is one nāḍī. You know the word nāḍīs—the nerves." "This Sarvahitāsana, for example, myself—every day, two and a half hours, I am practicing that." Filming location: Slovenia

Swamiji in Sliac, April 2007

Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. We should think first in the morning that we are human. Water is holy because it is the basis of our life. Prana is also holy and necessary for our life. Animals are aware in their sleep also. The story about a yogi and the tigers. We need oxygen for meditation. The story about two friends who went to the Himalayas and try to share their meal. The story about Vishwaguruji Mansadev and a bear in a forest in Kanada. We have to be the winner against corona.

The language of oneness transcends spoken words. Many scriptures and languages exist, yet spirituality reveals a universal oneness. We learn through gaze and feeling, not just vocabulary. The best language is understood by all, like music or song, where sound vibration creates unity. We do not know God's name or voice, but in our heart, all humans know there is some God. Even saying "no God" speaks to that understanding. Language is only the outer side; the feeling is the true language. When words fail, we understand through hands, eyes, and silence. From life's mixture, we seek purity and oneness. In a hall, a little stone can represent the silence that unites us. This silentness is oneness. In contrast, a noisy festival is different. You are happy and need nothing. "The best language is when people from many countries, each with their own language, suddenly all understand." "In our heart, all humans know there is some God."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. We should give up selfish thinking like I am the best. The story of Abhymanju gives an example of the qualities of a disciple. Jealous means burning fire in the body. Mantra within our hearth, even in a very hard situation we can develop spirituality.

Destiny is a fixed map written upon the body, yet can be altered by grace and spiritual practice. Janma-bhūmi, karma-bhūmi, and dharma-bhūmi are predetermined—the places of birth, work, and spiritual development. An ancient story illustrates that written destiny cannot be avoided by human effort alone. The physical form is this map: lines on the forehead, palms, and fingers reveal one's karma. When the soul departs, this corporeal map is discarded for a new one. Religion itself cannot change destiny; it is a path for inquiry. Only by following the guru's guidance, the true navigator, can one's path be redirected. The soul journeys like a flame into space after death. Through sincere practice and the guru's grace, the fixed lines of karma can be transformed, leading toward liberation. "Whom God protects, no one can kill." "The lines of karma are unique, unique."

Destiny is a mysterious and inescapable force. Humans cannot know the past or future, for such knowledge would bring unbearable tension. What unfolds is a play of fate, created individually yet often unavoidable. The story of Oedipus illustrates how one may try to flee destiny only to fulfill it. All must face the end of the body; death is inevitable. Yet through spiritual practice, one can transcend fear and attachment. When consciousness widens, past and future become clear, and one may realize the supreme Self beyond all suffering. Even the enlightened must relinquish the body, but a self-realized being digests time itself. We pray for the departed soul to dissolve into the cosmic light. "Humans are very intelligent and intellectual beings, but God has not given them this one ability: to know the past and to know the future." "Finally, the car will be the winner. It means death."

Food, the digestive fire, and spiritual practice are deeply connected. Learning to cook from a young age is vital, not just for health but for the energy imparted to the food. A strong Agni, or digestive fire, allows one to dissolve all that is consumed, including food and information. This inner fire is cultivated through gradual, systematic practice like Haṭha Yoga Kriyās and prāṇāyāma, particularly Bhastrika when prepared. Vegetarian food is essential; consuming meat introduces the animal's fear and chemistry into one's own system, affecting the mind and experiences. The system of Yoga in Daily Life prevents such negative experiences by advocating sāttvic food and step-by-step practice. Go deeper into each practice, exploring its effects on the five bodies; this prevents boredom and eliminates the need for constant change. Karma operates impartially: actions return to the doer. The body's design, with jaw movement and intestinal length, indicates a natural inclination toward vegetarianism. The consciousness and feelings of the cook are absorbed into the food, affecting those who eat it. Therefore, cooking for oneself is preferable. "Remain where you are." "What you do will come back to you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Guru is omnipresent, observing and guiding from within. His physical location is secondary to his constant spiritual presence. He feels the emotions and energies of his disciples, reacting to their inner states. The path requires surrender, trust, and devotion, not logic or personal effort. Service and love cultivate this relationship. Approach him for blessings, not for answers to trivial questions. He tests faith to strengthen it. His various expressions, even stern ones, are forms of blessing for the disciple's growth. Ultimately, he is the sole guide and protector. "When you close your eyes, or when you even open your eyes, you can see his form sitting here." "If we have that devotion towards him, if we have that love towards him, then we are happy and he is happy." Filming location: Slovenia

The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root foundation and the seat of the dormant Kuṇḍalinī energy. Three principal energy channels govern the system: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and the central Suṣumṇā. The term 'haṭha yoga' originates from balancing the 'ha' of Iḍā and the 'ṭha' of Piṅgalā. True haṭha yoga embodies forceful willpower and relentless practice, never giving up. This willpower manifests in various forms: the king's resolve, a child's persistence, a woman's determination, and the yogi's ultimate renunciation for divine union. It also includes the six purification techniques for physical health. The awakened energy rises through the chakras—Svādhiṣṭhāna, Maṇipūra, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, Ājñā—toward Sahasrāra, merging individual consciousness with the divine. The entire universe exists within the human body; self-realization comes from inner exploration, not external seeking. "Practice, practice, practice. Have confidence and say, 'I know I will do it.'" "Renounce and enjoy. If you want to be happy, if you want to enjoy life, then renounce."

A holistic yoga system offers a vital complement to modern medicine within a globalized, rapid, and restless world. Western medicine excels at structural issues but faces challenges with widespread psychosomatic conditions. Applying yoga occurs on three levels: as preventive self-care to reduce systemic costs, as a supportive adjunct to enhance medical treatments, and as a primary treatment for specific functional or psychosomatic ailments. Encouraging patients to practice the complete system, rather than seeking quick fixes, allows them to resolve their own issues through self-knowledge. This path addresses the root restlessness driving the demand for rapid, universalized treatments that often fail. The methods provided are excellent for both prevention and fostering genuine well-being. "When someone comes with a particular complaint, I advise them: 'Practice the Yoga in Daily Life system as a complete system.'" "People suffer because they are globalized, rapid, and restless. Consequently, they seek quick, rapid, and universalized medications and treatments—an approach that often fails." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

We need a silent revolution in leadership and consciousness. Old models have failed, creating crisis. Leaders are overwhelmed, lack self-awareness, and cannot inspire, leaving people disengaged. The solution is changing leaders. We are entering a cognitive age where mind care is paramount. Control your thoughts, for they become your destiny. Media exaggerates violence; data shows heart disease and cancer are far greater threats. The real danger is mind pollution—the poisoning of our minds. Yoga is for non-violence and peace. It is a systematic science for mastering the mind and achieving inner peace. A peaceful society guarantees the right to self-realization. Yoga accelerates human growth and is vital for well-being and social harmony. We must go public, integrate yoga into all education and leadership training, and promote it globally. "Control your thoughts, for they trigger your emotions and feelings. Control your emotions, for they become your words." "Yoga is a systematic, conscious science of human development. Its main technique is gaining mastery over the mind, stopping the internal dialogue." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The soul's journey and the true purpose of yoga extend beyond physical exercise. We are more than this temporary body. The soul, the ātmā, is our essence. After death, it leaves the body like the wind, unseen and untouchable. Its destination is unknown; it does not remain as a ghost in trees. Our physical suffering may relate to past actions, but we should be good to all. Yoga in daily life is for holistic well-being, yet its ultimate aim is spiritual, guiding the soul. The soul may merge like a drop into the vast ocean. Do not fear death or unseen phenomena. We are all interconnected here and now. "One in all and all in one; we are all one and all He." "Yoga in daily life. We practice every day for the good of our body and our well-being." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The 4th International Conference of Children and Youth in Zlin 2005 (CZ), The Youth for Sustainable Future.

A ceremony invokes peace and blessings for all existence. The divine mother is the fundamental creator. Invocations call for peace in the celestial realms, the earth, the dawn, the plants, and for all beings. Practical instructions are given amidst these blessings. The act of fetching water is consecrated and declared to become an offering. The ceremony concludes with repeated divine blessings and praises. "Gauṁ śānti pṛthivī śāntira vā śāntira uṣadayā śāntira vanaspati śānti viśvedi vā śāntira brahma śānti sarvau gauṁ śānti." "This will also become a garland."

Yoga is the highest system of thought for human evolution, uniting body, mind, and spirit. It is a global people's movement, not confined to physical exercise. International Yoga Day on June 21, established through a UN resolution proposed by India's Prime Minister, is celebrated worldwide. The practice aims for health, peace, and harmony by connecting the individual with the self, society, and nature. Its core principles include discipline, non-greed, and selfless service. Authentic teaching requires proper training over years, not quick certifications. While health attracts many, the complete science refines lifestyle and limits consumption for environmental well-being. Yoga is one, though various interpretations exist. Its essence cannot be diluted, and it should not be commercialized. "Yoga is the science of human origin and evolution to a point where you can overcome the boundaries of space and time." "Yoga leads humans to become good persons, makes a good family, a good society, and a better way of living, and to bring the world peace, harmony, and unity." Filming location: India

Spiritual development depends on parental guidance and the master's influence. Parents filled with love and spirituality teach about God and the Master's will. Being with holy saints from childhood fosters a nature inclined toward purity. The master imparts knowledge through everyday conduct, not formal lectures. This foundation sustains one while moving throughout the world. Yoga is not merely physical postures. It resides within human consciousness, the heart, and a humble perspective toward all existence. Maintaining a childlike purity is essential, meaning to remain a child of God and one's master. This state brings humility and the understanding that mistakes are surrendered to the master. One should feel relaxed, knowing divine protection is present, while also wishing to protect others. The relationship between guru and disciple mirrors that of parent and child. The master views all disciples as one, without duality, guiding them with oneness, peace, love, and harmony toward the Supreme. "Yoga is within human consciousness, in the human heart, in human humbleness, in a humble way of looking at everything." "The master has all disciples as one, and that is very, very good. Everyone has a different nature... But the Master should have all the same feelings, taking in the heart the oneness and peace." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.

The true Self is pure consciousness and bliss, beyond all attributes and dualities. It is not the body, the senses, the mind, or the elements. It is without hatred or attachment, virtue or vice, pleasure or pain. It is not the doer, the enjoyer, or any object of experience. This Self is Shiva, the eternal, all-pervading reality. Devotion to the sacred form, the Linga, is praised as a means to destroy all sorrows and sins, leading one to Shiva's abode. These hymns point to the formless truth while honoring the forms that guide the mind toward it. "I am not the mind, intellect, ego, or consciousness; nor the ears, tongue, nose, or eyes. I am not space, earth, fire, or air. I am the form of consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva." "To the Linga worshipped by Brahma and the gods, the destroyer of the sufferings of birth, the always auspicious one, to that Linga of Sadashiva, I bow down."

True refuge is found only in the divine name and the realized teacher. Seeking refuge in worldly attachments leads to suffering and delusion. The divine name is the ultimate sanctuary, the true crossing from darkness to light. All other shelters are temporary and false. The teacher, as the embodiment of grace, is the boatman who facilitates this crossing. To take refuge is to surrender completely, abandoning all other supports. This surrender alone brings liberation from the ocean of worldly existence. The name and the teacher are the singular, eternal refuge. "O Guru Sukhadhāmasvāmī, [you are] the cause of happiness for the entire world, the liberation from attachment." "Refuge is yours. Sri Kanata, refuge is yours. Sri Cintāmita, refuge in the body is yours." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Morning program from Strilky, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing.

A devotee expresses a profound longing for spiritual liberation and the Guru's grace. The plea is to become the dust at the Guru's feet, seeking awakening through a sacred mantra. The request is for all karmic bonds to be severed. The heart yearns for the Guru's holy company, a longing so deep it brings tears. The devotion culminates in repeated, fervent invocations and praises to the divine Guru and the lineage. "O Gurudev, please let me be the dust of your feet." "Please remove all the chains of my karmas."

Ayurveda is a comprehensive science of life, not a single topic. Its origin is mythological, said to come from the creator Brahmā through divine beings like Dhanvantari before passing to human sages. The knowledge was compiled into key texts like the Caraka Saṃhitā for medicine and Suśruta Saṃhitā for surgery. Much literature was later destroyed, but oral tradition in Sanskrit aided its restoration. The scope of Ayurveda is dual: to maintain the health of the healthy and to cure the sick. It aims for a flexible body, satisfied mind, and happy life until the end. "The extent of Ayurveda, or the part of Ayurveda, is to maintain the health of healthy people and to cure those who are afflicted with diseases." "Ayurveda is a science that deals with the useful and the harmful, the happy and unhappy life." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
