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

Practicing of the system "Yoga in Daily Life", Level 3 - Part 1, in Om Vishwa Deep Gurukul Swami Maheshwaranand Ashram, Jadan, Rajasthan, India on 27th of October 2009.

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky, Czech Republic.

The path of the Haṭha Yogī integrates natural remedies and disciplined practice for health. Neem leaf powder can heal stubborn wounds quickly, as a personal account confirms. Babool fruit soaked in water aids with hormonal and glandular issues after a certain age. Neem also serves as an effective, natural pesticide to which pests do not develop resistance. Neem seeds, ground into a paste, strengthen hair roots. A true Haṭha Yogī renounces laziness, the enemy compared to the tamas guṇa of a lethargic python. Key practices include Agni Sāra Kriyā and Nauli to stoke digestive fire, prevent diabetes, and purify the body. A yogī should perform cleansing techniques like śaṅkha prakṣālana regularly. Contrary to some teachings, garlic is beneficial; it cleanses gases and supports the heart, liver, and eyesight, and observed aggression often lies in those who avoid it. The yogī's goal is a long, healthy life with a clean, resilient body, free from disease through fasting and purification. "During the night, so I can say in the morning, the wound was completely closed." "The biggest enemy of the human is laziness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

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.'"

Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Explanation and singing bhajans. Bharatanatyam dance by Bhaktidevi. The glory of Devpuriji Bhagawan is around the whole world. He was the incarnation of Bhagawan Shiva.

Yoga is the science of life, meant for daily practice. I began spreading this message globally in 1970. The system "Yoga in Daily Life" was developed to provide structure. Yoga is not a business; it is free for all. The author of yoga is Śiva, who gave 84 postures connected to all creatures. Yoga has no competition. True yoga integrates several paths. Karma Yoga is selfless service, the best achievement. What is commonly called Haṭha Yoga is often misunderstood; real Haṭha Yoga consists of six purification techniques: Netī, Dhautī, Bastī, Naulī, Trāṭaka, and Kapālabhāti. These cleanse the body and prevent disease. Rāja Yoga involves eight steps like Yama and Niyama for discipline and supreme consciousness. Jñāna Yoga is the path of knowledge. Beyond these, Kuṇḍalinī and chakras represent hidden human powers. Among 8.4 million creatures, human life is for union with the supreme. Yoga is essential for health, combining natural wellness with necessary medicine. To practice, dedicate one and a half hours daily. Wake early to establish the habit; your body will come to need it. Persist for fifteen days, and it will become part of your life. "Yoga has no competition. Yoga has no challenge." "Karmayoga... is one of the best yogas. Help, help, help."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Zagreb, Croatia. In ancient times, rishis in their ashrams had many cows and their disciples had a job in the ashram. A Guru can notice if a disciple is a real follower or not. The story of Abhimanyu a very young disciple and his Guru and God. It is more than a simple story. In a satsang we all get energy. First is the Guru and then God. The story of Paramhansa Yoganand and his Guru when Yoganand went from India to America.

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice of śalabhāsana and complementary āsanas builds strength and influences consciousness. Śalabhāsana strengthens the posterior muscles and works on self-confidence. Hold the posture with full lungs and descend on the exhalation, though breathe naturally if there is high blood pressure. Remain soft while using strength. It corrects the pelvis and benefits the prostate and menstruation. A variation with hands under the body stretches the digestive tract and is ideal before meditation. Avoid excessive bending in the lumbar area; focus the bend in the thoracic part. Follow with relaxation and pavanamuktāsana to release lower back tension. Sarvāṅgāsana benefits peripheral circulation and balances thyroid function, but avoid it with hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, or during menstruation. It improves circulation to the head and allows a subtle exhalation. Its counterpose is bhuḍaṅgāsana, which stretches the front and strengthens the arms; bend in the chest area, not the most flexible part. Halāsana stretches the back and affects the neck, emphasizing exhalation. Matsyāsana opens the chest, works on the thyroid and breathing, and is performed with inhalation through the nose and exhalation through the mouth. A one-legged balance pose aids concentration and nervous stability. Ardha Matsyendrāsana regenerates the spine and has anti-inflammatory properties. An inverted posture improves circulation to the head and spiritual development. Conclude with Tāḍāsana and Prāṇāyāma. Bhastrikā Prāṇāyāma intensifies the digestive fire and burns waste; relax the abdomen and let breath flow spontaneously without forcing inhalation. Avoid it with a brain tumor or elevated body temperature. Chant Oṁ to withdraw inward. "Remain soft in the posture, even while using strength." "In this posture, simply allow one subtle, extended exhalation." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

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 Gurukul provides traditional education rooted in Indian culture and spirituality, distinct from modern commercial systems. Education began with the ṛṣis, and the first university was Takshilā in India. Our Gurukul adopts students as Jñānaputra, offering free education. The ancient Pītāmbara uniform symbolizes purity and focus. True education is cultural, ethical, and spiritual, not merely for earning money. Knowledge itself is an imperishable wealth. Sanskrit is the mother of most languages, and Indian culture spread globally. The Gurukul system was dismantled under British rule, replaced by a limited English system. We now blend modern competitiveness with foundational morality, teaching why to use knowledge, not just how. Education must be daily and consistent, like eating. Supporters make this possible. "Knowledge itself is an imperishable wealth. From the hand, you can steal money... but in the mind, the knowledge, no one can take it." "We have to have modern education to be competitive in this world. But still, on top of that, Gurudev is trying to put one more layer, which was actually there before."

God incarnates through specific situations (Nimitta) and through the eternal senses (Nityāvatāra). We are in Kali Yuga, a dark age where spiritual values decline. Long ago, the demon king Hiraṇyakaśipu performed severe austerities to gain a boon making him nearly invincible. He declared himself the only god and demanded worship. However, his young son Prahlāda was a pure devotee, constantly chanting the divine name "Hari Om Tatsat." The king tried repeatedly to kill Prahlāda: through his fire-immune sister Holi, who burned instead; by throwing him to crocodiles, elephants, and off a cliff. Each time, divine protection saved the boy. Finally, the enraged king challenged Prahlāda to embrace a red-hot iron pillar, demanding he renounce God or prove God's existence. As Prahlāda moved to hug the pillar, it burst open, and the divine form of Narasiṁha, half-man and half-lion, emerged. This avatāra killed Hiraṇyakaśipu at twilight in a doorway, using no weapon, thus fulfilling the conditions of the boon and saving His devotee. "Repeat and repeat the name of God. That is a mahāmantra, the best mantra, the great mantra." "Whom God saves, no one can kill. Not even one hair can be damaged if God is the protector." Filming location: USA

The true means to supreme bliss is satsang, yet worldly pursuits are filled with sorrow. Only the divine incarnation of the Supreme Guru bestows true happiness and Self-knowledge. Without the Guru, there is no knowledge, and without knowledge, sorrow has no end. No being has ever attained the Soul-Supreme without a Guru. Great ascetics with supernatural powers, like Sanghdev who lived 1,400 years, still lacked soul-knowledge until liberated by enlightened saints. Similarly, the egoistic tantric Bhaskarananda was transformed upon hearing the Guru's words, realizing his inner faults. The Guru's name, chanted with faith, crosses the ocean of worldly existence. A human life without devotion is like an animal's; one must perform spiritual practice and service. The root of meditation is the Guru's form; the root of worship is the Guru's feet. "Śiva, Viṣṇu, Brahmā... guru vinā bhav nidhi tīre na koi." (Even Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma cannot cross the ocean of existence without the Guru.) "Kabuk deva bhayog karni kar... toy nidayo satguru apke mo jagayo." (Sometimes one becomes a god, sometimes an insect... only the True Guru awakens you.)

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India.

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.

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."

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."
