Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Bhajan singing. Welcoming words from Vishwaguruji. I was so happy how we made this Ashram, people from many many countries. Indian people are also coming and see how great it is.
Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (9/9)
1:00 - 2:14 (74 min)
Recorded on
A morning sādhana sequence integrates breath, movement, and awareness. Begin by warming the body with gentle stretches and deep breathing. Practice foundational āsanas like Pavanamuktāsana and Marjaryāsana to activate the spine and muscles. Flow through a warming sequence, coordinating each motion with inhalation and exhalation. Perform forward bends and backbends, focusing on alignment and the stretch without pain. Incorporate inverted postures to affect circulation and glands. Conclude with prāṇāyāma to regulate energy and a period of silent observation. The practice strengthens the body, deepens the breath, and calms the mind. "Marjaryāsana is a wonderful morning āsana, stretching your back muscles and activating your spine." "Observe your breath, and feel the effects of the āsanas." Filming location: Umag, Croatia
First is the Guru
2:20 - 3:12 (52 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia
We are on the path of Alakh Puriji

Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Essence of Yoga in Daily Life
4:00 - 4:35 (35 min)
Recorded on
Yoga in daily life is the integration of spiritual discipline into every action. You must know your purpose. I taught yoga abroad and required a commitment to vegetarianism, refusing to teach those who ate meat. In India, some who never ate meat now do. Upon waking, affirm "I am a human being." Water is divine; a few drops remind you it is within all. Apply it like an injection to feel Jagadīś in your body. Do not let animals into sleeping rooms, though a cat or goat is good. Protect animals and India. Sanātana Dharma exists only in India. Many Indians abroad worship and have left meat. Practice yoga daily. Protect animals, protect India. Do not let animals into the house. The alternative to mobile confusion is to say Om when using the telephone. "Water is Jagadīś. Jagadīś, Sarveś, Jagadīś, Bhagavān." "The alternative is to say Oṃ. Say Om whenever you pick up the telephone." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

4:50 - 5:38 (48 min)
Recorded on
The divine names invoke presence and remembrance. Chanting connects the seeker to the sacred essence. These names are not mere words but vessels of consciousness. Repetition purifies the mind and aligns it with truth. The practice is an offering and a call for grace. It awakens the heart from spiritual slumber. Devotion through sound becomes a direct path to realization. "Satguru merā sāyī, majāl ke pāṇḍ se kāryo ham ko pā." "Chūṭ bhajan mein lāg, jāg re jāg." Filming location: Rajasthan, India
We should unite with the Supreme
5:40 - 5:59 (19 min)
Recorded on
We are all like a drop of water seeking to merge with the ocean. Life is a process of growth in time, from childhood onward, yet our individual journeys are temporary. We desire to achieve the goal of oneness with the cosmic reality, to end the cycle of return. This longing is like a single drop wishing to join the vast ocean; upon merging, the separate self is gone. Our familial and social attachments are not permanent, as each soul must ultimately walk its own path toward that dissolution into the One, the ātmā. "One drop is just in the palm of our heart, and the ocean is so big. And now, this drop wants to say, 'I want to go to my water, my ocean.'" "Your father and your mother and your brother and your friends... are not forever. Again, we have to walk on our path." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Vegetarian cooking lesson 3
6:00 - 6:27 (27 min)
Recorded on
A nourishing Falahārī meal is prepared, emphasizing ingredients and spices for health. The Falahārī diet uses only fruits and vegetables, excluding grains, potatoes, and bananas. Sweet potato is permitted and supports cardiovascular health. Turmeric is essential for liver function and detoxification. Unrefined oils like olive oil are used, as some vitamins require fat for absorption. Spices such as black mustard seeds cleanse channels and stimulate digestion. Coconut milk cools the body. Pumpkin seed bread uses psyllium as a binding agent. Yellow mung dal is the only lentil allowed, as it builds bodily tissues. Tapioca kheer is made with milk and cardamom. A soup of carrots and beetroot creates strength and iron in the blood, finished with a tarka of garlic, ajwain, and cumin. A salad is dressed with olive oil, lemon, and salt. "Turmeric is a very important spice for us because it greatly influences liver function, improves digestion, and helps clean the body from toxins." "In the Falahārī diet, you eat only vegetables and fruits; you do not eat wheat, potatoes, or bananas. But you can use sweet potatoes because it comes from another family of vegetables."

The Holy Land
6:35 - 7:27 (52 min)
Recorded on
Prayāgarāj is the king of holy places, where the Kumbh Melā is held. According to myth, it is where the nectar fell and three rivers, including the underground Sarasvatī, meet. The major festival occurs on a sacred constellation. While a melā happens annually, the sādhus recognize a major Pūrṇa Kumbha every four years. Millions attend to bathe, believing sins are washed away, and to discuss spiritual and societal governance. A system was established last century by the monastic akhāṛās. Following the tradition of the Śaṅkarācāryas, they created the title Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara. This honourable role is for caretaking—to solve problems and provide for sannyāsīs and ashrams. However, a committee with a constitution holds the authority. This committee selects one Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara to serve as the presiding Ācārya. All decisions are made by the committee. "Everyone knows the precise day, which we call Makar Saṅkrānti, when the sun begins moving north." "Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara is not a dominator but a caretaker who solves problems and provides assistance."

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.
Overview of practicing yoga
8:55 - 9:43 (48 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand
Holi Festival
9:50 - 10:24 (34 min)
Recorded on
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. "God incarnates, and there are two kinds of God’s presence." "Whom God saves, no one can kill." Filming location: USA
The reality is within you
10:30 - 11:07 (37 min)
Recorded on
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.

Recharging the spiritual energy
11:15 - 12:02 (47 min)
Recorded on
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. "Be light. Be the light, so the darkness will not come near." "A wise one will never put a question, because the wise is wise." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Heaven and Hell
12:10 - 13:01 (51 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Proudness
13:05 - 13:57 (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 Journey Beyond Duality: Life, Self, and the Path to Oneness
14:05 - 15:17 (72 min)
Recorded on
Life is a journey beyond duality toward the oneness of the Self. Two primal energies exist: the divine power leading to liberation and the negative power. The true Self, the Ātmā, is immortal and beyond these dualities, karma, and the cycle of life and death. The individual soul, however, experiences this duality. To transcend it, one must balance the inner energies. The practice of yoga is this union. The body is governed by three qualities: purity, activity, and inertia. These are influenced by lifestyle and nourishment. We perceive through five senses of knowledge and act through five senses of action. Life force, or Prāṇa, flows through channels in the body. Harmonizing the lunar and solar channels through breath leads to balance. True Haṭha Yoga consists of six purification techniques for inner health. Energy centers, or chakras, exist within the body, from the earthly base to the divine crown. Activating the highest center can lead to profound spiritual awakening. The soul's final exit reflects the quality of one's life and consciousness. "Dharma rakṣita rakṣitaha. If you protect your dharma, dharma will protect you."

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.'"

The Inner States: Jagrat, Svapna, Suṣupti, and Beyond
16:15 - 16:29 (14 min)
Recorded on
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
Bhajans evening from the Strilky Ashram
16:30 - 17:33 (63 min)
Recorded on
The human body is a sacred shawl and a divine coach, given for a short time. The shawl is woven from the five elements on the wheel of the eight chakras, colored by the name of God. Fools soil it quickly, but saints keep it pure. The body is a coach pulled by ten powers, guided by the mind, with the soul as the king inside. Five thieves—desire, anger, pride, greed, and ego—steal this coach until the guru's word drives them away. This world is a two-day meeting; we arrive and depart alone, accompanied only by our deeds. The goal of life is nothing less than God-realization. "This shawl is colored with the color of the name of God." "In this coach, the king, the ātmā, is sitting."

18:00 - 18:27 (27 min)
Recorded on
The human birth is a rare and urgent opportunity. The scriptures and all aspects of existence point to a single imperative. The sole necessity is to fix the mind upon the Guru's name. This precious human form is exceedingly difficult to obtain again. One must become truly human in this very moment. By being steadfast in this practice, the vision of the true Self is attained. Do not waste this fleeting chance. "Oh lamp of qualities, Hari, fix your mind on the Guru’s name. This opportunity will not come again; be human." "This is the totality of knowledge: to be human."

Sat sanga
18:30 - 18:57 (27 min)
Recorded on
The power of satsaṅga lies in gathering in truth. The recent global hardship was a manifestation of Kali Yuga, a dark age where everything breaks. I was traveling but was sent to my home country. Through it all, we were with God, who provides. "Sat" means truth. A Satguru embodies this truth. Many practice yoga and follow gurus, each with a name and lineage. We are all human, yet distinctions exist through names and relationships. In the ashram, you become family. Satsaṅga is the company of truth, where we are all together in goodness. This gathering is a satsaṅg. Maintaining this truthful connection requires constant practice, or it is lost when you leave. The physical body is temporary and turns to dust. The name, however, endures beyond the body, like a memory that remains after a person is gone. Therefore, hold to the truth of the name. Satsaṅga is truth together. "Sat means truth, and this truth is like that." "The body will slowly, slowly go... but your name will not go anywhere." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

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. "Without bhakti, without satsaṅg, one feels a little bit alone." "Eat half, drink one quarter water, and leave the other quarter empty. Then our health will be the best." Filming location: Bari Khatu, Rajasthan, India
Advice for good health
20:15 - 21:23 (68 min)
Recorded on
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. "The train will go according to the schedule, function, or time. Is it a good constellation or a bad constellation? The train will go." "Better to die, but with the salt." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Chakras and Nadis

Recorded on
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."
