The Principles and Power of Sādhanā
2:40 - 3:25 (45 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Proudness
4:10 - 5:02 (52 min)
Recorded on
The ego of a devotee is cured by divine grace through humility. Even great beings can develop pride in their service. Hanumān once believed Rāma's victory depended entirely on him. Earlier, Garuḍa also lost faith after rescuing Rāma from a snake-arrow, thinking God needed his help. Garuḍa, in despair, was told only the crow-sage Kakabhuśuṇḍī could cure him. As Garuḍa approached, hearing the sage's discourse restored his devotion, and he saw even the gods listening. To cure Hanumān's pride, Rāma sent him to deliver a ring to a sage in the Himalayas. The sage told Hanumān to throw it into a pond, which was filled with identical rings from every divine incarnation. Hanumān then understood his role was not unique but part of an eternal cycle, curing his ego. "Hanumānjī became proud. He thought, 'If I were not, Rāma would not be successful.'" "Hanumān, don’t be proud. Don’t think that through your help, Rāma was victorious... It was a test for you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Presence of the Guru
5:10 - 5:53 (43 min)
Recorded on
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
Try to know what we should do
6:00 - 6:51 (51 min)
Recorded on
The soul's journey is from confinement to freedom. Our true Self is a droplet of the cosmic ocean, the jīva in all life. This essence cannot be killed; it merely changes form, like water becoming vapor and rain. The human body is a cage for this soul. We suffer within it, yet upon death, the soul departs with great speed. Only humans possess the capacity and responsibility for higher understanding. Do not misuse this gift to harm others. Life's purpose extends beyond basic animal functions. Follow the path of non-violence and goodness. The consequences for causing suffering are severe and lasting. All religious traditions point to this truth. Ultimately, everything returns to its source, as rivers flow to the sea. "The soul itself cannot say yes or no. It is like a bird in a nest; in the morning, it flies out." "God said, 'My child, I gave you all capacity, but I will not give you the completeness to kill anybody... If you do, you will suffer.'"

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

Real health comes from Nature
8:35 - 9:34 (59 min)
Recorded on
Health involves both conventional medicine and natural, yogic approaches. Doctors often manage symptoms without providing lasting cures. Many ailments persist despite treatment. Natural methods from India, like yoga and specific exercises, offer profound benefits. Certain tree barks and natural preparations can address stomach and bodily issues where medicine fails. I am not a doctor; I am a yogi pointing to what is natural. Practice simple postures and breathing. Consistency with these natural methods brings health. Both systems have value, but the natural path is deeply restorative and often overlooked. True well-being comes from harmonizing with nature's intelligence. "Many things which we cannot do, which the doctors cannot do." "This medicine also does not cure; they cannot cure it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
A Prayer for the Immortal Soul
9:40 - 10:22 (42 min)
Recorded on
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."

Enjoy your life
10:30 - 11:09 (39 min)
Recorded on
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
Become one with the energy of Bhagawan
11:15 - 11:48 (33 min)
Recorded on
The spiritual pilgrimage is a rare achievement of the soul, likened to a fruit surviving from blossom to harvest. Ancient pilgrims endured immense hardship with singular focus on the divine. Modern ease can invite disrespect, as seen when indulgence at a holy site provoked a destructive natural response. This place demands purity; most who come are purifying their karma. India is a unique spiritual source, like a diamond mine, where all gods are worshipped as one without conflict. Divine incarnations themselves endured great troubles. Human life is for dispassion, not attachment. When divine light awakens, consciousness expands to perceive the unity in all. "Of course, the whole earth is a Bhārat Mātā, and all countries have their Mātā, mother. But only India can be called Bhārat Mātā." "Without vairāgya, you cannot renounce. And without renouncing, you are in attachment." Filming location: India
Introduction of the Strilky Ashram
11:50 - 11:59 (9 min)
Recorded on
This sacred grove is a place of satsaṅg, established through great effort, where one must enter with clean hands and feet and without shoes. It is a beautiful, peaceful forest for prayer. Our ashram is a holy place where many have lived peacefully, having given up things like meat and alcohol. Devotees from around the world come, though some stay only briefly. This path led to the rediscovery of the ancient principle of Alak Purījī, connected to Śiva. After the era of Śiva and Shakti, Pārvatī arose, though she was initially unaware. "This is our satsaṅg, our samāj. This is what we are for everyone." "Anytime, if you desire something... you should come to this place and pray with our mantra. Everything will return to peace and harmony." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

12:10 - 13:31 (81 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the essential practice for peace, requiring direct experience over theory. Indian culture and values provide the foundation for a harmonious life, yet modern focus drifts toward material Western influences. True education balances material knowledge with spiritual wisdom, as both are necessary for the complete human being. Cultural roots must never be forgotten, for they sustain identity and purpose. The global presence of Sanātana principles reveals a shared heritage, fostering universal peace. Personal transformation through practice and traditional saṃskāras cultivates inner discipline and societal harmony. "Tons of theory are nothing compared to a gram of practice. Until we practice yoga, there is no yoga." "Our roots are here, so we should stick to that. No matter how high you have reached, you should never forget your roots."

Interview with Vishwaguruji
13:35 - 13:59 (24 min)
Recorded on
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
The Inner States: Jagrat, Svapna, Suṣupti, and Beyond
14:00 - 14:14 (14 min)

States of consciousness reveal our inner and outer life. Waking activity is for the outer world, using all energy from sunrise to sunset. In sleep, we are within ourselves, aware of the inner self filled with divine feeling. This sleep is not nothing; it is a vital awareness given by God. Deep sleep is being one hundred percent aware of the self, comfortable and peaceful. The dream state contains things within ourselves, both good and bad. A constant alertness exists between these states. Therefore, sleeping is very important. A higher level is Yoga Nidrā, a sleep of consciousness toward the Supreme, practiced by yogis. "In sleeping, we were within ourselves. Our whole being is with us, filled with very, very divine feelings." "What this sleep means is that we are 100% aware of our self, and so it is very comfortable, relaxed, and peaceful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

Introduction to Chakras, Presov, Slovak Republic. Muladhara stores much karmic information about us. What is dormant in Muladhara is sprouting in Svadisthana. This is the place of kriya shakti and iccha shakti. If we purify this chakra, half way to our final goal is behind us. Manipura is the powerhouse of our body. Anahat is the place of our feelings. Vishuddhi is the door to the astral world.
