Practicing of the system "Yoga in Daily Life", Level 1 - Part 4, in Om Vishwa Deep Gurukul Swami Maheshwaranand Ashram, Jadan, Rajasthan, India on 23rd of October 2009.

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 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

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.'"

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."

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

Life is a journey beyond duality toward the oneness of the immortal Self. Creation begins with two parallel energies: the divine Devī Śakti and the negative Āsurī Śakti. Our existence is bound by dualities like life and death, body and shadow. The true Self, the Ātmā, is immortal and beyond karma, distinct from the soul which experiences karma. Even at higher astral levels, we remain influenced by these two śaktis. Liberation requires transcending all dualities, including heaven and hell, to achieve union with the highest Self. Yoga is this union. Our life is governed by three guṇas: Sattva (purity), Rajas (activity), and Tamas (dullness), influenced by our lifestyle and nourishment. We possess ten senses: five for knowledge and five for action. Prāṇa is the vital energy sustaining life, distinct from mere breath. Prāṇāyāma practices like Nāḍī Śodhana balance the Iḍā (lunar) and Piṅgalā (solar) channels, leading to Haṭha Yoga—their harmonious union. Authentic Haṭha Yoga consists of six purification techniques. Energy flows through nāḍīs, creating chakras at their intersections. The aim is a healthy body and mind for spiritual development, ultimately realizing the Self beyond all duality. "Because in Ātmā, in the self, there are no dualities; there is only oneness." "Yoga means union. Union means that individual consciousness, the individual soul... is always searching to come to the origin." Filming location: USA

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

Evening sastang from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. When it rains, it feeds all the vegetation. The sea, the grass, the trees need water. Only humans can reach the highest. Those who don't use drugs or drink alcohol. Today, the whole world, all religions and cultures are right in the palm of our hands, accessible by mobile phone. With the help of yoga, meditation and ancient sacred scriptures, spirituality can be realized. Outer purity means inner purity.Chemical pollution is a big problem all over the Earth.

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

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

Yoga for the spine integrates anatomy, function, and daily practice. The spine is an axial skeleton of 24 vertebrae protecting the spinal cord. It is supported by muscles and ligaments for posture and movement. Pain arises from acute overload or chronic misalignment, disc wear, and disease. Everyday postures, like prolonged sitting, strain the spine by distorting its natural S-curve. Incorrect lifting multiplies force on the lumbar vertebrae. The intervertebral disc's fluid core distributes force, but poor loading can cause herniation. Sudden twists and high heels also increase risk. A consistent ten-minute yoga sequence can alleviate and prevent issues. It includes morning stretching, rocking, twists, shoulder exercises, side bends, rowing, and cat poses. Practice slowly, with awareness, and never force through pain. This mobilizes the spine, relieves tension, and increases energy. "The most common among all these incorrect postures is this one... we sit every day like this for eight hours." "Try it, you will see... In a month, you will see what a difference it will make."

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

Nārada, cursed by his own pride, confronts Viṣṇu after an illusion reveals his folly. He sees his true form but remains unsatisfied, consumed by anger. He journeys to curse Viṣṇu, accusing Him of jealousy and trickery, citing the churning of the ocean. Nārada pronounces a curse: Viṣṇu will take a human body, be aided by monkeys, and suffer separation from His wife. Viṣṇu accepts the curse calmly, for it is His own will. When He dissolves the illusion, Nārada sees the truth and begs forgiveness, horrified by his own words. Viṣṇu, merciful, promises a method of atonement. "Either I will give a curse to Viṣṇu, or I will commit suicide in front of him." "O Merciful Lord! May my śrāpa, my curse, become powerless. I don’t want that to come true."

The agitation of longing is a spiritual state of restless yearning for divine vision. This condition is described as a profound inner turmoil, where the seeker feels a desperate, churning need for the sight of the divine. The eyes of the devotee remain unsatisfied, having not received this sacred vision. Without this sight, there is no peace, even at noon, which is traditionally a time for rest. The fundamental question arises: what is the use of mere sustenance for the body? This agitation leads to further questioning of how to endure and what truly nourishes the soul amidst this burning spiritual heat. The seeker endures this scorching state, a metaphor for intense longing. The core conflict is between physical existence and spiritual need, where worldly comforts become meaningless without divine connection. The unresolved ending emphasizes the ongoing, painful nature of this quest. "Darśan na dī chokhā. Darśan sannakā nindā, Nairin divasannā." "Bhukkanī kāso kattatannā?"

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
