We are on the path of Alakh Puriji
0:20 - 0:55 (35 min)
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
Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (1/9)
1:00 - 2:37 (97 min)
Recorded on
A guided practice integrating meditation, yoga, and prāṇāyāma to cultivate awareness and inner harmony. Begin by relaxing the body and mind, aligning the posture. Follow the breath, using the mantra "So Ham" to synchronize with the inhalation and exhalation. Feel prāṇa entering and tensions releasing. Center awareness in the heart space, feeling it expand and relax, allowing peace and love to spread. After meditation, proceed to physical practice. Perform warm-up exercises and āsanas like Daṇḍāsana, focusing on straight posture and coordinated breathing. Practice sequences for the arms, shoulders, and feet with conscious movement. Advance to postures such as Marjari Āsana and Meruākaraṇāsana, maintaining balance and breathing deeply. Conclude with Kathā Praṇām and prāṇāyāma, specifically Nāḍī Śodhana, to purify the energy channels. Always maintain a straight back, relax the abdomen, and coordinate movement with breath. Finish by chanting Oṁ and grounding the awareness. "Feel how with every inhale you are taking in prāṇa, how your consciousness is becoming brighter and brighter, happier and more relaxed." "Keep your back straight and go down only to the level which your muscles can hold with your back straight." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Opening of inner eyes
4:05 - 4:42 (37 min)
Recorded on
The inner light and the practice of trāṭak reveal the soul's journey. The soul enters the body like a seed finding its place, guided by an inner light from the navel. This light is the jīva, the soul itself, present in all creation. Every seed, tree, and creature possesses inner eyes that seek their destined path through concentration. This seeking is trāṭak. The story of a guru saving a devotee at sea illustrates the power of this inner connection. The guru's astral body traveled and returned through the navel center, or nābhi, demonstrating that true sight is inward. All external vision is secondary to this inner light, which connects the individual soul to the universal. "Every seed again gives eyes to the roots." "Trāṭak of the nābhi and Gurujī came."

Eat healthy food and live as a human
4:50 - 5:33 (43 min)
Recorded on
A call to conscious living through prayer, diet, and daily awareness. Religious practice is declining across many faiths, leading to negative societal outcomes. People should pray sincerely according to their own traditions. Modern habits, like excessive meat consumption and poor health choices, are harmful. The rise of veganism stems from compassion, witnessing the killing of animals like a newborn calf. We must respect all life. Daily consumption and farming practices are damaging the earth and water. A simple morning practice can reorient one's life: upon waking, affirm "I am human," honor your mother and the Earth, and respect water as divine. This conscious foundation leads to a better life. "Therefore, in this way, we should—all of us here—we should pray according to your religions." "And so, everyone, they have in their heart. And everyone, they have according to their religions, and they are doing as it is." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Overview of practicing yoga
5:40 - 6:28 (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
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."

Heaven and Hell
7:30 - 8:21 (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
First is the Guru
8:25 - 9:17 (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

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.

Our origin is in God
10:10 - 10:51 (41 min)
Recorded on
The soul enters a body, which is surrounded by five sheaths. The physical Annamaya Kośa is made from earth, water, fire, air, and space. All creatures contain the same life force, or jīva. Life operates in a cycle where one life consumes another; this is driven by an inner fire, like hunger. This cycle is often seen as sin or adharma. The ethical path is to avoid harming others, not to retaliate, and to practice forgiveness. Ultimately, concepts like heaven and hell are merely different realms of existence. The five sheaths—Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, Vijñānamaya, and Ānandamaya—envelop the self. Moving beyond them leads to an unknown path. The goal is to return to the singular, formless divine source from which all beings originate. "Life will kill life. But who and how? So another part of God said, I will give you. What? Fire. What is that fire? In the stomach, that is hunger." "If someone is angry or something, and he will give you a slap on your face, then don’t give back, but tell the other side, 'Please, if you want, you can have also from here.'"

Recharging the spiritual energy
10:55 - 11:42 (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

We are Humans
12:30 - 12:58 (28 min)
Recorded on
The nature of practice is to inquire into what you are not, to discover the Self. We perform many actions and yoga postures, naming animals and forms, but you are not that movement or those names. You are not the body practicing. We identify with elements like water, necessary for life, yet you are not that either. We live within a body and a world, like passengers in an aeroplane, but this too is not you. Life appears and disappears, and we question where the prāṇa goes. We speak of God but have not seen God. The ultimate reality is described as light, yet even that description falls away into nothingness. The practice is to see that all these appearances—the body, the world, the elements—are not you. The true state is a oneness beyond all forms and descriptions, where there is no separation. Be with this inquiry. "All that is moving is not you; it is that." "There is no light also, it’s going dead." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Mantra is with you for your whole life

Two paths define human life: the worldly path of material progress and the spiritual path of conscious living. The worldly path, like that of medicine, is good but ultimately leads to an end without deeper life or meditation. The spiritual path is everything; it is our daily actions, thoughts, and relationships. We must think of our children and family unity, not separation. A story illustrates this: a couple, from their school days through fifty years of marriage, harbored a silent grievance over who received the soft part of the bread, never communicating their true feelings. This shows how small, unspoken things can define a life. The spiritual solution is a personal mantra, given now, which will stay with you forever. This path requires discipline: no meat, essentially no alcohol. Life is a choice. One who lives spiritually ascends; one who lives otherwise, consuming other creatures, goes back. These are the two things. "Spiritual human life is everything." "One will go up, and the other will go again, go back." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

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

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

The Journey Beyond Duality: Life, Self, and the Path to Oneness
19:30 - 20:42 (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."

Advice for good health
21:35 - 22:43 (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
Respect is important
22:50 - 23:43 (53 min)
Recorded on
The power of language and respect shapes spiritual life. Words carry energy, influencing our inner state and relationships. A story illustrates this: a man feared the yoga pose called Śavāsana, the corpse pose. After this, the name was changed to Ānandāsana, the bliss pose, to remove fear. How we speak is crucial. We do not "take" a mantra; we may "get" it as a sacred gift, which changes our entire attitude. Modern communication often loses depth and respect, using abbreviated or vulgar language absorbed from media. This influences us subconsciously and must be guarded against. Addressing others with respectful titles, like "Devī" for a woman, cultivates different inner feelings. The manner of giving, even food, carries energy; offering with the right hand and respect changes the offering's quality. Respect extends to spiritual objects; keeping a mālā in a clean, valued place allows it to retain its energy. Physical posture also matters; sitting like a king or giving like a beggar changes the inner experience. Pronunciation in mantra is vital, as a single sound can change a word's entire meaning. "Your entire spiritual path becomes different. Yes, just try to think about this: it is a completely different approach." "If we are not aware, this will come subconsciously inside. We need to put a firewall in front of us, not to allow such thoughts and such language to become common to us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
