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 Ashram, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing on Gurupurnima satsang.

Welcome to a yoga practice based on the "Yoga in Daily Life" system. This session is conducted from a desert retreat in Rajasthan, a spiritual center founded to serve humanity and offer a path through yoga. The practice follows an eight-level system of physical, breath, and mental exercises, including Karma Yoga and a vegetarian lifestyle. We begin with Oṁ chanting and relaxation in Ānanda Āsana, mentally relaxing each body part with the exhalation. The practice includes learning the full yoga breath, combining abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular breathing into a single wave, coordinated with arm movements. We perform side and diagonal stretches while lying down, followed by rolling. Seated in Vajrāsana, we practice Mājārī (cat stretch) for spinal flexibility. Standing exercises target the shoulders and chest, followed by forward bending. Seated poses include the half butterfly, full butterfly, and Pavanamuktāsana. Prone exercises involve stretching and strengthening the back. We relax in a side-lying tiger pose. The session concludes with Prāṇāyāma, specifically Nāḍī Śodhana to balance the brain hemispheres, and ends with Oṁ chanting. "The light and teaching of this yoga science... was systematised as 'Yoga in Daily Life'." "Prāṇāyāma... influences not only the physical body but also the brain centres... we balance the function of both brain hemispheres." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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

Yoga's global rise signals a return to spirituality, which encompasses all of life, not just religion or meditation. The last century's wars fostered a materialistic mindset focused on money, creating distance between people and even within families. Many now practice yoga only for physical fitness, and some teachers compete in wealth, which is contrary to yoga's non-competitive essence. True yoga is a simple, accessible practice from birth to liberation, not about difficult postures that can cause long-term injury. Learning correctly requires a genuine master and lineage. We have verified our spiritual roots and lineage. We must protect sacred natural places from human pollution, which is particularly damaging. "Spirituality means not only doing meditation, but encompasses everything." "Yoga is from the mother’s womb until liberation, and it should be a very easy practice." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Chakras are rotating circles of energy within the body, representing major energy centers. They are symbolic, not literal anatomical structures. Thousands exist at the junctions of the nāḍīs, the body's nerve network. This system exists for the soul's journey, supported by five bodily sheaths and the five elements. The three main channels are the Iḍā (Moon, mind/emotion), Piṅgalā (Sun, action/temperament), and central Suṣumnā. Their intersections form powerful chakras, like the Viśuddhi at the throat for purification. The mind is a messenger between senses and intellect; do not block it, but give it direction. Problems arise from suppressed emotions, which can manifest as physical illness. Practices like prāṇāyāma maintain this network for health. Awakening energies like kuṇḍalinī requires great care, as improper handling can be harmful. "These chakras are a methodological representation. You will not see this exact picture if you look within your own body." "The mind is a river; we should not block it. If we block a dam, we must provide an outlet." Filming location: London, UK

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Summer Retreat in Vep, Hungary. We should protect every creature, not only humans. Bad smell indicates impurities in the prana. Sattvic nourishment and practicing yoga exercises cleans the prana and energies in the body.

The path from the Mūlādhāra to the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra is about mastering foundational qualities and overcoming obstacles. Human life offers the unique intellect to transcend the cycle of birth and death dictated by karma. Spiritual practice is not just meditation but cultivating inner qualities like humility, kindness, and forgiveness. The five primary obstacles are passion, anger, greed, attachment, and ego. To defeat them, one must develop five spiritual techniques: detachment, renunciation, devotion, right knowledge, and mercy. These qualities reside in the heart. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the solid foundation of spiritual longing. The Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra, associated with the water element and emotions, presents six new obstacles: anger, hate, greed, jealousy, cruelty, and laziness. Its energy is powerful but can be destructive if not mastered with the positive qualities. Awakening higher consciousness requires harmonizing these elements within. "Love each and every entity, if not more, then that much, as much as you love thyself." "The roots of dharma is mercy, and the roots of sin is ego." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

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."

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 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 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.'"

You are in the aura of Śiva consciousness, a divine vibration that fills you here. Your focused intention to come created this spiritual energy. In this place, you become Śivamaya—the divine essence—and worldly problems vanish as you experience ānanda, your true form. To preserve this, you must practice discernment in association. Avoid those entangled in temporary, worldly pursuits like politics or conflict; this is kusanga, bad company. Such people, with polluted minds, will drain your light. You might consider them friends, but they are not. Always seek the company of the truly spiritual. Self-knowledge, ātmajñāna, is essential. When you leave, do not foolishly question the wisdom received; arguing is a sign of ignorance. Be the light yourself. The story illustrates discernment. A king sought a husband for his highly educated daughter. She would only marry a man who could answer all her questions and defeat her at chess. After a long search, messengers found a shepherd cutting the branch he sat on. They prepared him to meet the princess, instructing him to remain silent. During their discussion on Vedānta, he broke his silence, proclaiming the unity of the five tattvas. He then won the chess game using a cat's nature, luring it with a mouse hidden in a flute. They married, but later he asked for his goats; she kicked him off a balcony. This fall awakened his Kuṇḍalinī, transforming him into the great poet Kālidāsa. "Here, you are 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

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."

Evening satsang from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Vishwaguruji"s sister sings Bhajans.

We are identifying a place and performing a symbolic action with a cup. The place is depicted in a picture and contains a whirlpool in a park corner and a pond. A brightly painted cup is there, meant to stand upon a tree stump behind the pond. The action involves using group-colored pencils to tie the cup, but not to bind it completely, as it is already secured. The final instruction is to transform these pencils into the pencils of our group's boats. "It is in the picture. And did you recognize me? Yes, indeed." "First, we must tie it with pencils in the colors of our group. Must we bind it completely? No." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga in Daily Life Class of Level 1 Part 2 filmed in Sydney

The ego's illusion of being the doer is the obstacle; the solution is to become an invisible tool for divine grace. We mistakenly believe our actions are our own, like a dog thinking it pulls a chariot or Hanuman briefly claiming credit. This sense of "I am the doer" is the problem. The story of Hanuman and the sage's box of identical rings reveals a profound truth: countless beings have served before us, and countless will follow. Our role is not to be the author but the instrument. When we surrender, as in leading a yoga class with the prayer "Nāhaṁkartā," divine energy flows through us, and we are energized. All service must be done invisibly, without seeking credit, as shown in the teaching to pray and fast in secret. Public spiritual display is an ego trip, not yoga. The guru's role is to stir up our impurities like a spoon in coffee, which is an unpleasant but necessary medicine. Our spiritual practice is like being in a washing machine; the process is turbulent but results in cleanliness. We must strive to keep our inner "white dress" clean after satsang and spread the light we receive, transforming our surroundings through our presence. "Only what is important for us is to understand and to pray to be the tool." "Always be aware of Hanumānjī when he realized that a lot, and so many, was before him and so much will be after him, and only pray for grace, for great luck, to get the opportunity to be the tool."

The path of spiritual work is for your own liberation. We are human and make mistakes, but God sees our selfless service, or karma yoga. This work is the beauty of life. Obstacles from divine and negative forces exist; even great beings are tested. The greatest donation is giving the name of God to others. What you do in service ultimately benefits your own soul, as illustrated by Hanuman's service to Rama being for Hanuman's own liberation. You liberate yourself through your own actions; a guru's grace is present, but you must do the work. The process involves three key practices: Svādhyāya, which is studying spiritual texts and your own inner life; Manan, which is constant reflection on truth and your thoughts and actions; and Abhyāsa, which is the practice that leads to perfection, directing your mind to God through kindness, forgiveness, and spiritual disciplines. You are a traveler in this world; you will leave everything behind except your deeds. Harmonize with others, move beyond personal likes and dislikes, and let the river of your efforts flow continuously toward love. "Hanumanjī has done so many things for you. Rāma said no. He has done nothing for me. All that he did is for himself, for his soul, for his liberation." "You are the divine, you are the holy—yes, you are—but you don’t behave like that, you don’t accept this." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia DVD 159a

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.

The only necessity is the Guru's grace. Initially, I was not permitted to enter a cave. Later, I was granted special permission to meditate inside. I felt honored. However, the cave was very cold. My feeling of specialness vanished as I grew uncomfortably cold. I prayed to leave. After some time, a person entered and I was able to exit. Following this, devotional chants came as a blessing. A key phrase was given: "Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalaṁ Śiṣyake Ānandamaṅgalam." Its meaning is that the Guru's grace alone brings bliss to the disciple. I was instructed to display and read this phrase daily. I later decided to experiment by setting this phrase to music, which resulted in a chant. "Print out this sentence in big letters and stick it on the place where you go the most, and read it every day." "Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam is, as far as I know, that all you need is the Guru's grace."

The divine name is the means to cross the ocean of worldly existence. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī is the incarnation for all beings. By contemplating His name with grace, one cuts down desire, anger, and greed. The world's illusion remains far away through the Guru's grace. His name is the boat for crossing; the Satguru's grace is that boat. One who receives this grace finds their passage. At the time of dissolution, the Guru's light will manifest within the heart. By always holding His enchanting form in mind, one need not fear the net of illusion. The name itself provides absorption in divine feeling and ensures safe crossing. "For the beings of the world—the jīvas and jinn—His name itself is the boat to cross the ocean of existence." "By the grace of always contemplating Him, desire and anger... For the jīvas and jinn, by His name, one is always immersed in divine feeling." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

A devotee expresses longing for the Guru and shares a devotional song. I wandered seeking a true friend like Gurudev but found none, leaving me restless. Without the Guru, I am like a fish without water, lost and without peace. Hearing the Satguru's name brings transformation. I awoke to knowledge by Gurudev's words. The Satguru is eternal, and I am grateful for his kindness and guidance. This is my interpretation of the song's sentiment, though I acknowledge it is not a proper translation. The song praises the arrival of the Satguru, which brings joy to the heart and removes the suffering of countless lifetimes. It is a plea for the Guru's grace and continuous spiritual fellowship, rejecting worldly desires for devotion alone. "Without water, the fish dies in agony. Please don't give me arrogance."

True preparation is not about temporary arrangements but about cultivating a presence that comes from within. We often prepare external things, like a meal, which are consumed and gone. Real knowledge, however, is not read from a paper; it flows from the heart and mind as one's own. Many rely on prepared speeches, lacking true understanding. Different cultures express presence differently, but the core is sincerity. Lasting wisdom is not found in lectures we forget but in stories that live in the heart. True devotion, not mere scholarship, grants real power, as seen in one who walked on water through faith alone. We must integrate our physical, energetic, and mental layers. Life is singular; do not be scattered. True union, like that of Śiva and Śakti, represents ultimate harmony. Enduring traditions, like a respectful greeting with empty hands, express a pure welcome. Ultimately, we are not labels like Hindu or Muslim, but humans capable of love. "Many politicians have no knowledge. They say, 'I don't see,' but their secretaries... prepare a very nice talk and give it to the minister, who then reads it." "The story will never forget... But you give the whole lecture... and we cannot read in the book. The book is just to learn it, and then go within ourselves." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand
