The Journey Beyond Duality: Life, Self, and the Path to Oneness
2:35 - 3:47 (72 min)
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.

Eat healthy food and live as a human
3:55 - 4:38 (43 min)
The simplicity of spiritual practice lies in daily remembrance and conscious living.
Historically, people across faiths integrated prayer into daily life, like family meals. Now, such observance has declined, correlating with modern negativity. Dietary choices reflect this shift; some move away from traditional vegetarianism, while others adopt veganism from compassion for animals. Health requires mindful eating and periodic fasting, not constant consumption. Simple morning affirmations ground us: acknowledge your humanity, honor Mother Earth, and revere water as life. Modern challenges like pollution and industrial agriculture show our disconnection from these elements. Returning to conscious basics fosters well-being.
"First, when we open our eyes, then tell, 'I am human.'"
"Water is life... Water is God."

What means Satsang
4:45 - 6:01 (76 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan, Rajasthan, India. Nearly one-hour bhajan singing. Without prayers, meditation and singing bhajans humans life is not complete. When we are coming to the prayer we are in oneness again. In Satsang, we are in the truth. Do not continue with negative thinking. That one is lost.
Recharging the spiritual energy
6:05 - 6:52 (47 min)
The aura is Śiva consciousness, a divine vibration entered through intention and spiritual gathering. Here, one becomes Śivamaya, where worldly problems vanish in the experience of the Self as bliss. Discernment in companionship is essential. Avoid those entangled in temporary, worldly conflicts and politics, for their influence is polluting. Do not accompany such people or listen to their voices. Sit only with the truly spiritual to remain in the light. Self-knowledge is paramount. Outside this space, old conflicts and questions return. The one who argues is foolish; a wise one knows without asking. Marriage is often a misconception, a fleeting fire. Seek the divine union within. A story illustrates discernment: a princess sought a husband who could answer all questions. A shepherd, though seeming simple, revealed profound wisdom on the unity of the five elements. True wisdom often comes from unexpected simplicity.
"Here, you are called Śivamaya, and many problems disappear. At home, many conditions arise, but here they vanish."
"A wise one will never put a question, because the wise are wise. Who puts the question? The ignorant, because they do not know."

Overview of practicing yoga
7:00 - 7:48 (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."

The Holy Land
7:55 - 8:47 (52 min)
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."

Respect is important
8:55 - 9:48 (53 min)
Our words and gestures carry profound energy that shapes our spiritual reality.
The way we speak and act directly influences our inner state and our path. An anecdote illustrates this: a man feared the yoga pose called Śavāsana, the corpse pose. After explaining there is no need to fear death, the pose was renamed Ānandāsana, the bliss pose. This shows the power of language. We do not "take" a mantra; we may "receive" it as a sacred gift, which creates a completely different, reverent attitude. Modern communication is becoming impoverished, losing fine emotion and respect. How we address others matters deeply; calling someone "Devī" (goddess) evokes a different energy than crude language. Our physical gestures are equally important. Serving food with a disrespectful hand or attitude poisons the offering, regardless of its physical purity. The value we assign to spiritual objects, like a mālā, determines the benefit we receive from them. Respect is not about slowness but about conscious, loving energy in every action and word.
"After that, Swāmījī changed it; it is no longer Śavāsana or Mṛtāsana, but Ānandāsana."
"You get from everything only as much as you respect it, or how much you value it."

First is the Guru
9:55 - 10:47 (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."

Try to live in a natural way
10:55 - 11:57 (62 min)
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."

Around the world - Yoga for children CRO
12:00 - 12:08 (8 min)
Yoga practice is a circle from intention to breath. We begin with a saṅkalpa, a silent wish repeated three times. Daily life turns attention outward, but yoga asks us to observe inward: our body, position, and feelings. There is no competition; challenges are personal, and progress brings inner satisfaction. Children are engaged through stories and animal-mimicking āsanas, learning which body parts each posture affects. We prepare the body with exercises like the butterfly to loosen hips for prāṇāyāma. The correct posture for breathing is any comfortable, steady seat. The joy is witnessing progress, from restless movement to coordinated control, which refreshes both student and teacher.
"The most difficult for me is rolling, because it is fun and loosens the spine. The hardest part is grinding, because the muscles in the arms and head hurt."
"Often, when I come here after a whole day of work... completely refreshed, I leave after an hour of yoga."

Around the world - Yoga for Kids from Hungary
12:15 - 12:20 (5 min)
Welcome to a family yoga program where children and adults practice together.
This is a monthly event at our yoga center, open to all regardless of experience or age. Yoga helps children gain flexibility, concentration, and health, supporting their natural, non-violent development. We practice using a specific children's yoga book, connecting postures with animals and plants in a complete cycle. After practice, we relax with storytelling, crafts related to festivals, and watching short Indian animated films. The children enjoy the movement, the praise they receive, and the stories, even if some elements are challenging for them. The experience is positive and rejuvenating for all participants.
"Yoga begins from the child's inner needs and helps them overcome their problems and complexes."
"Although she becomes skillful in these movement sequences, the little girl enjoys the fact that she has already received so much praise."

Our origin is in God
12:25 - 13:06 (41 min)
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.'"

Opening of inner eyes
13:10 - 13:47 (37 min)
The inner light and the practice of Trāṭaka reveal the soul's journey. The soul enters the body from cosmic energies, like water cycling between ocean and rain. It arrives through the navel, the seat of the jīva and inner light. All living beings, from animals to seeds, possess this inner sight guiding their growth. Trāṭaka is this concentrated gazing, where the inner eyes open. A story illustrates this: a guru's astral body saved a devotee at sea. To return to his physical body, the disciple focused on the navel, the nābhi, demonstrating the power of inner focus. The practice is about surrendering the ego to perceive the universal soul within all.
"One in all and all in one. Even the green grass, even any trees, bushes, all creatures—everyone has eyes, and they are all looking with their light toward their destination."
"My inner eyes should open, and when they open, that is the other one."

Try to open the lock
13:55 - 14:14 (19 min)
We are called to unite in oneness through divine names. All practitioners are invited onto a common boat to spread peace without distinction. We exist as small parts of a vast creation of water, earth, and sky, all made by the Supreme. The intention was for universal happiness, but great troubles arise. Humans, created with divine potential, declared independence from God, leading to negativity and conflict. The solution is likened to opening a locked number lock or finding the key bead, the Sumeru, on a mala. This key is found in the simple, powerful names of the divine. By holding to these names, the locks within awaken. The essential practice is to take up the key of the name, which is common to all, and through it, access everything.
"God gave everything to their children, who are our children—what we call humans. So He gave everything to us. What God can do, the human can also do."
"The best is on this one name... Rām, Rām... Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa... Śiva, Śiva... Jesus, Jesus... That is the best name."

The reality is within you
15:00 - 15:37 (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.
"Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam. As long as you have the mercy, the Kṛpā, of Gurudeva, you will be on the good path."

We are on the path of Alakh Puriji
15:45 - 16:20 (35 min)
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."
