Interview with Vishwaguruji
0:30 - 0:54 (24 min)
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."

The Principles and Power of Sādhanā
1:50 - 2:35 (45 min)
Sādhanā requires perfect technique and discipline, following principles like a car needing correct fuel. This human system requires spiritual nourishment. The Maṇipūra Chakra is central; the body's manifestation begins there, and it is where the soul enters and prāṇa and apāna unite. It houses the hara-śakti, the life force governing immunity. A weak hara-śakti causes fatigue; the Khaṭupranām exercise strengthens it. Sound originates in the Maṇipūra Chakra, with levels from parā (navel) to vaikharī (lips). Chanting Aum in Śabda Sañjālan practice awakens this sound, rising to the Sahasrāra and flowing back to the heart, uniting the nāḍīs at the Ājñā Chakra. This confluence, Trikuṭī, purifies karma. Success requires disciplined practice, devotion, and following a true spiritual lineage. Without devotion and discipline, balance is lost and practice fails. With sincere sādhanā, inner awakening and freedom are attained.
"Only the maṇipūra chakra can control the two forces, prāṇa and apāna."
"Without bhakti, without devotion, you cannot cross this ocean of ignorance."

We all should get oneness
2:40 - 2:56 (16 min)
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."

The Practice and Power of Trāṭaka
3:00 - 3:52 (52 min)
Trāṭaka is the practice of steady gazing to develop concentration and purify the mind. The best object is a pure ghee lamp flame, though a candle flame, a black dot, or a sacred image are also suitable. Never gaze at your own reflection in a mirror, as it can cause psychic disturbances. Gazing at the rising sun should last only half a minute to protect eyesight. This practice dispels fear, anxiety, and mental impurities, clearing the inner instrument. When performed with discipline every morning and evening for twelve years without a single break, it bestows a siddhi: the gaze becomes pure and merciful, attracting others. However, this attainment is blocked by a negative internal state. The practice awakens Sarasvatī's power in the throat, granting eloquent speech and artistic intuition. It illuminates the inner space, calms mental fluctuations, and aids in awakening the Kuṇḍalinī. It also empowers speech, making words balanced and meaningful, while teaching the importance of non-violence in speech, as verbal wounds are deep and lasting. Full benefit requires a personal Guru Mantra and guidance from a qualified teacher to avoid mental problems. The practical method involves sitting straight, establishing the correct distance to the flame, repeating the mantra, and alternating between external gazing and internal focus on the after-image.
"By practicing Trāṭaka every morning and evening without interruption for twelve years, one attains a siddhi."
"Only Gurudev can remove the darkness of the heart."

Ayurveda - The science of life
6:05 - 7:51 (106 min)
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."

7:55 - 8:49 (54 min)
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."

Your body is the map of your destiny
8:55 - 9:40 (45 min)
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."

9:45 - 10:29 (44 min)
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 Presence of the Guru
10:35 - 11:18 (43 min)
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."

A Prayer for the Immortal Soul
11:25 - 12:07 (42 min)
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."

13:00 - 13:39 (39 min)
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."

Interview with Vishwaguruji on Lok Sabha
14:25 - 14:55 (30 min)
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."

Bhajan evening from Vienna 2
16:30 - 17:24 (54 min)
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."

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."

Tapasya leads to purity
18:15 - 18:53 (38 min)
Spiritual attainment requires the fiery discipline of tapasyā. In this age, following the path is difficult. We seek Self-knowledge, but our senses constantly pull us outward. Control of vision and desire is essential; this is tapasyā. It is the purifying fire of sustained practice, like an athlete training for perfection. Without it, we achieve nothing. This discipline must be grounded in vairāgya, or dispassion, and tyāga, true renunciation. These are hard to find. Bhakti, or devotion, provides the balancing force for these three. Faith must grow daily, as doubt is its enemy. Our limited self seeks the limitless Brahman. This life is a fleeting chance; do not get lost in worldly obligations. Practice your sādhanā diligently.
"Tapasyā is a well-known word; it leads a person to purity. Just as we put gold or any metal into fire to purify it, tapasyā is like that fire."
"Viśvāsa merā kam na hove, din din adhik baḍhījo. O Mahāprabhujī, my faith should never decrease. Every day it should grow and grow."
