Practising third level of Yoga in Daily Life System
1:00 - 2:38 (98 min)
A guided practice integrating āsana, prāṇāyāma, and relaxation begins with breath awareness and gentle movement. Settle the body and deepen the breath to receive prāṇa. Coordinate movement with inhalation and exhalation, maintaining inner attention. Practice stretches, Pāvanamuktāsana, and Vajrāsana with focus on spinal alignment. Perform inverted postures like Viparīta Karaṇī Mudrā with care, distinguishing it from Śīrṣāsana. Practice standing āsanas such as Garuḍāsana and Trikoṇāsana with balance and concentration, avoiding force. Conclude with Prāṇāyāma, specifically Nāḍī Śodhana, to purify the energy channels. Chant Oṃ to complete the practice. "Throughout the entire practice, strive to maintain your attention within yourself." "For all balancing postures, it is essential first to calm the mind, and only then can the balancing postures be performed well." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
World Peace Prayer in Umag
2:40 - 2:59 (19 min)
A gathering for peace through prayer and commitment to non-violence.
We are on the Adriatic coast, holding candles and offering prayers for global peace, harmony, health, and love. We pray to live together in mutual understanding, to never cause pain to any creature, and to stand for non-violence, following ahiṃsā. We seek to protect all cultures, traditions, religions, creatures, and the environment. We remember Mahātmā Gāndhī on his birthday, honoring his message of peace and non-violence. Delegates have gathered from across the world for this prayer. We pledge to always work for non-violence. The moment is spiritual because we collectively share spiritual thoughts. We commemorate Gandhi's life and ideals, pledging to follow his principles. We gather at sunset from across the world, a miracle of unity for this cause. With the message of non-violence, he united India. We are united here around the idea of non-violence toward all creatures and the planet. We will place lights in the ocean, symbolizing rising above violence to a state of non-violence.
"May we all live in harmony. May we all live together with mutual understanding."
"Let us pledge and commit that we would follow the principles that he has enunciated."

Hatha Yoga Kriyas (2/3)
3:00 - 3:27 (27 min)
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."

Real health comes from Nature
3:35 - 4:34 (59 min)
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."

First is the Guru
4:40 - 5:32 (52 min)
A disciple's unwavering devotion is tested to its absolute limit. A boy seeks a spiritual teacher, pleading to renounce worldly life. The teacher accepts him but imposes severe austerity, providing no food and assigning only the care of cows. The boy endures, surviving on milk, then alms, then foam from calves, then leaves—each sustenance forbidden by the teacher. Other disciples protest this harsh treatment, but the teacher insists it is a necessary test. During a storm, the boy uses his own body to dam a water channel, lying in the cold flow overnight. Later, eating poisonous leaves blinds him, causing him to fall into a dry well. When the teacher finds him, the boy declares he will accept food only if given directly. At that moment, divine presence manifests. The narrative reveals the disciple's divine essence, demonstrating that such perfect surrender is exceedingly rare. The teacher's role is paramount, for it is the guide who enables the vision of the divine.
"When the calf is drinking, a little foam comes out. That I eat."
"Gurudev, I will not take it. Without you giving it to me, Gurudev, I will not take it."

Proudness
5:40 - 6:32 (52 min)
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."

Heaven and Hell
6:40 - 7:31 (51 min)
Time is a human construct, yet it governs all life. Humans count seconds and years, but time does not count for us; it moves in cycles with the sun. No being is immortal, not even deities who have their appointed times in each age. A creator may become an ant, and an ant may become a creator, as time brings all transformations. We grow and we go; this cannot be stopped.
A sage in the mountains received the Vedas and wished to study them for eternity. When death's messenger came for him, the sage repeatedly requested more time to learn. The messenger finally showed him that the knowledge he had acquired was merely a handful of sand compared to the vast mountain of wisdom. The sage then understood and departed willingly.
Our allotted time should be used for spiritual practice and good deeds. Pride and anger destroy spiritual attainment, as shown by a yogi who lost his power through cursing a bird and displaying arrogance to a humble woman. The knowledge and abilities we possess must be utilized, or they are lost. The breath is the rope of life; its length is unknown.
"Ṛṣi, till now, what have you learned? Only that much which is dust in your hands."
"You have yoga. Use it or lose it."

Try to know what we should do
7:35 - 8:26 (51 min)
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.'"

Overview of practicing yoga
8:30 - 9:18 (48 min)
Yoga is the science of life, meant for daily practice. The system "Yoga in Daily Life" was developed to provide a consistent method. True yoga is a single path with several aspects. Karma Yoga is selfless service, purifying through action. Haṭha Yoga is not the common postures but the six purification techniques: Netī, Dhautī, Bastī, Naulī, Trāṭaka, and Kapālabhāti. Rāja Yoga is the eightfold path of discipline leading to meditation. Jñāna Yoga is the path of knowledge. Beyond these lies the knowledge of Kuṇḍalinī and the chakras, the hidden spiritual power within. The human body is part of nature and responds best to natural practices. Health is the true wealth, and daily practice is essential. One must make time, ideally in the early morning, to establish this vital habit for a harmonious and healthy life.
"Yoga in Daily Life means... if you have no time for yoga, then also don't eat."
"Haṭha Yoga is the purification, and this is purification of the body."

Recharging the spiritual energy
9:25 - 10:12 (47 min)
You are in the aura of Śiva consciousness, a divine vibration filling your thoughts and body, making you Śivamaya. Many worldly problems vanish here in this experience of the Self, ānanda-svarūpa. Avoid the company of those entangled in temporary, conflicted worldly pursuits; this is kusanga. Their polluted minds will affect you. Associate only with truly spiritual beings; be light so darkness cannot approach. Self-knowledge is essential. Do not mistake this temporary state for permanent attainment; old conflicts may return upon leaving. A wise person does not ask questions from ignorance but knows the answer. The story illustrates seeking a worthy match: an educated princess tests suitors until finding a simple shepherd who reveals profound wisdom. Their union, after a test involving a cat and a mouse, leads to his spiritual awakening as the great poet Kālidāsa. Ujjain is a sacred city where liberation is possible.

The Principles and Power of Sādhanā
10:20 - 11:05 (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."

The reality is within you
11:10 - 11:47 (37 min)
The spiritual path requires unwavering discipline and grace, not transient seeking. A governor prioritized a blessing over lunch, knowing his breath was uncertain. This illustrates that spiritual practice must never be missed. Many seek quick liberation, but this yields nothing. True yoga is a complete human science, not merely physical postures. Success comes from steadfast practice and the grace of one guru, akin to having only one mother and father. Spiritual realization ends criticism; we respect all paths, understanding the oneness of all beings like drops returning to the ocean. Discipline is essential, especially within family life. Practice without competition, according to your capacity. The soul is like a flame; we must protect and nurture this inner light, as it alone continues beyond the body. Authentic teachings, like unchanged bhajans, guide us. Work inwardly, for external attachments are fleeting. Practice sincerely within your own faith, fostering peace and inner awareness.

The practice of yoga and light sustains us on the spiritual path. I traveled extensively during a clear period, witnessing the strength of practitioners who remained healthy despite widespread illness. The specific practice of Brahmari Prāṇāyāma has been crucial for health. I taught its techniques, which involve balancing vibration between the brain's hemispheres and directing it to the center of the head. This practice is powerful but must be learned precisely for at least one year before teaching others, performed only five times per session. Our path is one of many, all leading to the same goal, connected through the navel as a source. We must continue our daily sādhanā. Furthermore, we should observe prayers at sunrise and sunset, aligning with the light's cycle as illustrated by the story of a man seeing a temple light at dusk.
"Many, many people who practiced exactly what I told you—this Brahmari Prāṇāyāma—were very healthy and good."
"At least one year you should learn this exactly, and then give it further. Otherwise, you will make others, maybe not good, it will be in the body."

Holi Festival
13:15 - 13:49 (34 min)
The divine manifests through specific circumstances and through the eternal senses. We exist in a dark age where spiritual values decline, awaiting a divine manifestation.
A king performed severe austerities to gain power. He asked a divine being for immortality but was refused. He then requested a boon that no normal means could kill him, which was granted. Returning to his kingdom, he declared himself the only god. However, devotion to the true divine persisted. The king had a son, Prahlāda, who from childhood chanted the divine name despite his father's orders. The king's sister, Holika, who was immune to fire, tried to burn the boy but was herself consumed while he remained unharmed. The king repeatedly tried to kill his son, but divine protection saved him each time. Finally, the king threatened Prahlāda before a heated iron pillar. As the boy embraced it, a divine form, part-lion and part-man, emerged and killed the king at twilight in a doorway, thus fulfilling the conditions of the boon.

Become one with the energy of Bhagawan
13:55 - 14:28 (33 min)
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."

Advice for good health
15:15 - 16:23 (68 min)
Haṭha Yoga is the inner purification of the body through natural wisdom and technique. Astrological predictions are secondary to life's inherent function. Humans support each other, as in older communities where goods and services were shared. Modern systems of employment and commerce continue this interdependence. Nature provides all necessary remedies, such as salt for health and cow urine for healing. Āyurveda is the vast treasure of medicinal plants and elements surrounding us. Haṭha Yoga practices like neti cleanse the nasal passages with precise salt water. Kunjal kriyā is learned from the elephant's action of drawing and expelling water. Sūtra dhauti involves swallowing a cloth for internal cleansing. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana purifies the intestines with warm salt water, mimicking the conch's spiral. All these techniques originate from observing nature, as humans are part of nature. Use what God has provided, but within limits.

Bhajan singing in the presence of the Master
16:30 - 17:17 (47 min)
The sacred syllable Om is the primal vibration from which this three-qualitied illusion of the world is projected. From Om, all knowledge and the Vedas themselves emerged. The true knower, realizing this, finds bliss. The Guru's grace is essential for this realization. Without the Guru's guidance, one remains lost, not knowing what to do with worldly or spiritual wealth. The Guru's feet are the ultimate pilgrimage, praised by the Vedas and Purāṇas. The divine sound, Śabda, is the ultimate power; it does not kill but slays limitation. Through the Guru's arrival at the eternal door, the soul finds liberation.

The heart's agitation arises from separation and unfulfilled longing. This state is described as a profound inner turmoil. The eyes of the devotee, represented as the eyes of the cowherd and of the divine, do not grant the vision being sought. This absence of divine sight leads to restless days and sleepless nights. The longing itself becomes a form of sustenance, yet it cuts like a blade. The experience is one of yearning for a connection that feels withheld. The fragment captures the essence of devotional anguish.

Satsaṅg and disciplined living are foundations for spiritual and physical well-being. An eight-month Anuṣṭhāna was completed, a period of residence with daily satsaṅg and spiritual practice. This occurred at a Sattva āśram, a pure place established for decades where many have come to practice. The holiness originates from ancient spiritual lineage. Satsaṅg is the gathering of truth with spiritual companions, fostering happiness. Historical guidance from masters emphasizes simple, disciplined living. This includes dietary discipline: eat only when truly hungry, avoid tea and coffee, and consume pure foods. Modern habits of constant eating and improper foods lead to illness. True health comes from eating moderately, drinking water, and leaving space in the stomach. Practice silence, maintain personal space in communal living, and focus on spiritual practice. The recent global situation, while difficult, allowed for sustained spiritual focus and family connection at home. Ultimately, cultivate a life free from anger and negativity through disciplined practice and satsaṅg.

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.
