Practising asanas from Rijeka
1:00 - 1:41 (41 min)
We practice āsanas to bring awareness to each chakra from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra. Begin by standing and feeling the Mūlādhāra area. Āsanas activate chakras like a reflex point, not the organ itself. Perform Maṇḍūkāsana, focusing on the perineum and practicing Aśvinī Mudrā by contracting and relaxing. Abdominal breathing here also engages Svādhiṣṭhāna. Feel a warm sensation in the pelvis. Practice grinding and rolling movements to engage Maṇipūra and feel warmth at the navel. Rolling includes head movement, affecting the Viśuddhi chakra and thyroid. Each chakra connects to the physical body, prāṇa, and states of mind. For Ājñā, practice Ākarandanurāsana by focusing on the thumbnail like Trāṭak, maintaining single-point concentration. For Sahasrāra and overall focus, practice Ekapāda Praṇāmāsana, balancing on one leg with hands at the heart center, focusing on a point and then visualizing it internally. Conclude by observing the effects in the body.
"Āsanas influence and activate a point in our body connected to a cakra."
"If we are concentrated on one point, we will remain without movement."

The hatha yogi wants to live a long and healthy life
3:05 - 3:56 (51 min)
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."

The Role of Yoga and Meditation in Improving Quality of Life for Cancer Patients
4:00 - 5:07 (67 min)
Yoga is a body-mind practice studied as an adjunct to allopathic cancer treatment. Research shows it can improve stress, anxiety, depression, and quality of life for patients. However, data on improving physical function or sleep is less clear. Crucially, yoga is not a cure for cancer. Giving false hope that yoga, prāṇāyāma, or herbs alone can cure cancer is harmful and delays effective treatment, often until the disease is advanced. The ethical principle for all healers is to first do no harm and work for the welfare of all. A proper lifestyle with balanced diet, conduct, and thought is foundational for health. For younger patients, who are more prevalent in some societies, yogic intervention may offer particular benefit by improving well-being and potentially aiding tolerance to therapy. More robust, standardized, large-scale studies are needed.
"Please do not give false hope that cancer will be cured."
"ever engaged in the welfare of all... We should at no time do any harm."

Welcoming Address and Valedictory Session on Yoga for Wellness
5:15 - 6:23 (68 min)
Yoga for wellness is this year's subject, focusing on its global role in health. Yoga has moved from Indian tradition to global practice, increasing our responsibility. The conference aims to establish policy parameters. Two key features were discussed: the holistic integration of traditional and modern medicine, and yoga's specific impact on diseases. Integration must evolve from simple co-location to active cross-referrals between systems. The ultimate aim is to use yoga to reduce the number of patients. For global acceptability, scientific evidence for yoga's value is essential, beyond mere assertion. This requires research and the collaboration of practitioners from both traditional and modern medicine seen here today. The goal is to shape government policy for a healthy India.
"Yoga has no side effects."
"We need to generate scientific evidence about the value of yoga if we want true acceptability."

Vegetarian kitchen in praxis (part 3)
6:00 - 6:53 (53 min)
The foundation of health is in the home kitchen, where daily cooking and prepared snacks anchor well-being. Twenty-six years ago, I began raising five children as vegetarians without guidelines, supported by my mother's example. Today, ingredients and information are abundant, but fewer mothers cook daily. Institutional support is needed to appreciate this role. My father thrived on my mother's cooking until she fell ill. A university seminar on child problems lacked prevention; my answer was supporting mothers at home. Inspired by a lecture, I always prepared snacks for my children, even simple ones. Home-cooked meals, however simple, create a vital experience that draws children back. A young woman resolved digestive issues by preparing one warm meal daily and separating food types. Cooking simply at home develops an intuitive guide for health. For deeper issues, address the psyche alongside diet.
"Svāmījī says no Indian mother would send her child to school without food, knowing the child could not eat for the day; the child is never sent to represent the family on an empty stomach."
"Obesity is a lack of love."

We have to go on that path

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Himalaya. Sri Alakhpuriji Cave. Here is the place of peace and happiness. Alakhpuriji has given us his carana amrit. Bhagirati's disciple was Ganga and Alakhpuriji's disciple was Nanda Devi. Singing and explanation of bhajan or arati Sri Guru Atma Paramatma. Alakh means we can not write we can not speak about. In reality, Alakhpuruji created this arati through Sivanandji and he brought it to us Vishwaguruji. We have to follow Alkhpuriji's path with concentration. This path drives us to Brahma Loka. We are those souls who can give this blessing and energy. Singing bhajan Sabda Sanehi Mhari Jatra, Guru carano me, Manv Dhire Dhire and Sataguru Satasangi.
Yoga is One
8:05 - 8:36 (31 min)
Yoga is the practice of yoga in daily life. We have a specific book that shows exactly how to be a practitioner. Many have the book but have not completed its practice. Yoga itself is singular, though people come from different paths. Other systems have taken things and given them another name, which is not right. Our yoga in daily life involves specific disciplines, like not eating meat or drinking alcohol. Yet, some books from our work say meat can be eaten, showing a difference. People globally are increasingly killing animals for meat, which is not good. Many now choose vegan options because they do not want to kill creatures. We must learn from the exercises in the books and practice them step by step from the beginning. "Yoga in Daily Life" is for everyone, regardless of religion, and means we should practice every day. Simply having the book is not enough; one must practice everything in it.
"Yoga is that which is for the yogīs."
"Yoga in daily life is such a point on that."

One day we will be together
8:40 - 9:24 (44 min)
All spiritual paths are one, beneath different names. Yoga is one yoga, though centers and lineages have distinct identities, like children in a kindergarten who each have a name. All families are one family; all humans are one human, despite different colors or bodies. Our soul, or ātmā, is the same. Conflict arises from forgetting this unity, creating negative karma. Respect all paths and traditions. Do not think your own is superior. Life is like water: individual drops from clouds or rivers ultimately return to and merge with the one ocean. In this age, confusion comes from mixing things improperly and giving children too many distractions instead of true connection to family and tradition. See the single reality within all diversity.
"All children are born into what we call a kindergarten. In the kindergarten, we see all children as very beautiful and very good."
"One drop, a very fine drop, again comes together... When this drop falls into the ocean, that cloud and that drop are not anymore; it is only ocean."

Don't kill animals, remain clean
9:30 - 10:43 (73 min)
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.
Purify your prana
10:50 - 11:54 (64 min)
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.
Education for Flexible Identities
12:00 - 12:15 (15 min)
Education requires recognizing the teacher and learner within oneself. If you cannot find the guru inside, you cannot recognize an adequate external guide. One must simultaneously be governed and govern, embodying this contradiction to harmonize self and society. True education awakens self-education first in oneself, like a candle needing its own flame to light others. Modern schooling historically replaced one fixed identity, like a peasant, with another, like a worker, but today that rigid model is destructive. We need education for flexible identity, learning to manage energy for fight or peace, as in yoga. Freedom is not limited by others but created through them; society is a necessity for liberty, not an obstacle. Our words and thoughts matter, as we are largely water, and they influence our very structure.
"If you are not able to recognize the guru in yourself, how can you recognize your guru in another person?"
"The other person is not an obstacle but a necessity for me to live my freedom."

Yoga for the physical body and beyond
12:20 - 12:42 (22 min)
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."

What means Satsang
12:50 - 14:06 (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.
Eat healthy food and live as a human
14:10 - 14:53 (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.'"

Chakras, Nadis and Kundalini
15:00 - 15:39 (39 min)
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."

Our origin is in God
15:45 - 16:26 (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.'"

Learning in the Gurukul
20:15 - 20:51 (36 min)
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."

Opening of inner eyes
20:55 - 21:32 (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."

Mantra is with you for your whole life
23:05 - 23:27 (22 min)
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."

We should have God in our heart
23:35 - 0:56 (81 min)
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."
