Building the Ashram
0:20 - 0:55 (35 min)
Recorded on
This is our ashram, a place of being and bliss. We are all here together, sitting with sādhus and yogīs, and it is very good. The essence must be in our body. An ashram is our home. Understanding comes from above, from God to mother to human. It arrives directly, like from Akkar to Nābhi. Even a mother may not know how it comes, but it is our prophet. God is the only one and will become human. If humans belong to India, then all children are equal. That one will enter God, will enter the body. We must care for the human mind. We are here, and we will do the work. In construction, one must think about how people feel inside. A building is not just a roof; it should be pleasant. The best materials are natural, like wood and straw, which support humans. Materials modified by humans, like bricks and lime, are good. Stones like sandstone are neutral, but granite harms the body. Modern materials like steel and concrete are dead and not healthy. We follow Vāstu Śāstra, the science of building, so the earth supports everyone living there. We use lime, not just cement, for healthier buildings. Wood is the best material and can be used for multi-story buildings and large halls. "This is our ashram; this is our ashram. And when you see it, oh, it is very nice." "The best materials are natural, like wood and straw, which support humans." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
The Purifying Path of Haṭha Yoga: An Introduction to Ṣaṭkarma
1:00 - 1:47 (47 min)
Recorded on
Haṭha Yoga's essence is the six purification techniques, or Ṣaṭkarma, for cleansing the body and balancing energy. Our polluted modern environment necessitates these natural cleansings using water, salt, and air. These practices purify the physical system and uniquely influence the vegetative nervous system, which is typically beyond our control. The goal is to balance the Iḍā and Piṅgalā energy channels, allowing the central Suṣumnā to flow. This mastery brings many benefits, fostering willpower and overcoming inertia. Regular purification, especially during seasonal changes, removes metabolic waste that causes illness and stagnation, keeping energy flowing. Specific techniques like Netī cleanse the nasal passages, while Agni Sāra and Naulī stoke the digestive fire. These are potent tools that require proper guidance from an experienced teacher regarding the correct method and timing. "Haṭha Yoga is not only that we clean and purify our whole system, our whole body, but it also has a great, very great effect on our nervous system, especially the vegetative nervous system." "When they are balanced, then the third one, the Suṣumnā Nāḍī, will start to flow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Guru is the supreme grace and the sole means to liberation. Without the Guru's grace, no being can cross the ocean of worldly existence. The Guru bestows self-knowledge, making one fearless. By listening to the Guru's verses, one attains all perfections and happiness. The Guru is the indestructible supreme reality, a boat of divine name carrying souls to the other shore. No one is a greater benefactor than the Guru. When a soul comes before the Guru, sins of countless ages are erased. Where the Guru's grace falls, no desire remains. Service to the Guru destroys all obstacles and reveals the light of the supreme self. One who serves the Guru is rare. The Guru's enemy is the worst; their work is never fulfilled. The Guru is Vishnu, the Guru is Shiva; the Guru is verily the supreme reality. The root of meditation is the Guru's form; the root of liberation is the Guru's grace. "Guru samāna dātā koī nahīṁ, rājā barṣa āśa karai." "Guruḥ śakṣāt parabrahma tasmai śrī gurave namaḥ." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
The hidden powers in humans - Nadis
4:10 - 4:41 (31 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through balance. The universe is an endless cosmic body containing a consciousness that seeks to multiply. From the primordial sound Oṁ, the five elements were created, forming all life. The human is distinguished by an educable intellect. The physical body contains 72,000 energy channels, or nāḍīs, through which cosmic energy flows. Three principal nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā—govern emotion, activity, and consciousness. Where they intersect, energy centers or chakras form. The dormant spiritual energy, Kuṇḍalinī, must awaken and rise to unite with pure consciousness. Lower chakras connect to elemental and animal realms, influencing base behaviors. The mind coordinates between the conscious and subconscious; it cannot be controlled, only guided. Physical practices are not yoga itself but methods to create the balance that is yoga. "Yoga means balance. Where there is balance, there is harmony. Where there is harmony, there is unity." "The mind cannot be controlled. If you control the mind, then psychic problems will appear. You cannot control the river, you cannot block it, you can guide the river."

The power of Gurudev's blessing
4:45 - 5:15 (30 min)
Recorded on
The great fortune of satsang and the sacred power of prasada. Being in satsang is our great luck, a refuge from the affairs of this age. This is not mental fast food but rich spiritual nourishment requiring strong inner fire to digest. Simply being in this radiant atmosphere grants energy and purification. I once thought greeting the teacher was a loss of lecture time, but after decades I see it is the most important part. The prasada received is very rare. A lecture is nice inspiration, but to bow and receive grace is precious. This act releases many karmas. Prasada is the essential, holy substance that can completely change a life, as can true darshan. We must prize this energy, keep it, and let it shine in our homes. Maintain purity within and transmit that. We are all one here in this practice. "To come, to bow down, to greet, to come very near to your Gurudev and receive prasāda... we must realize how precious this is." "That Prasāda is completely able to change our life, if we know what Prasāda is." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
What does Yoga in Daily Life mean?
5:20 - 5:46 (26 min)
Recorded on
This is the day of oneness, the middle point in our sādhanā. We must practice every year and go forward, not back. Yoga in Daily Life began from Czechoslovakia and has spread worldwide; it is for all. Our sādhanā comes from Ālagpurījī and Devpurījī, through Holy Gurujī and Mahāprabhujī. Holy Gurujī gave me this chair, which is from God. Sitting here signifies oneness. We are to become gurus, but that happens only at life's end through true inner practice, not merely in time. I work with Mahāprabhujī. We are all together in this. The Nandi statue sees Holy Gurujī's samādhi and Śiva; offering to it brings blessings. We must continue every year. "All will be only one. It doesn't matter who, what will be. One in all, and all in one." "This chair is from God, Bhagavān... then you become the Parabrahma, Paramatmā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Guru can take you across the ocean

How to keep our purity
6:20 - 6:44 (24 min)
Recorded on
The human being contains a fundamental purity. We are diverse and cannot all become one, yet we are ourselves. Many people eat meat and are going down, but here we are pure. Open your eyes in the morning and see only "I am human." The earth is pure, and pure water comes from above. Within the vast ocean of existence, something very pure comes from within us, like a crystal. In sleep, we travel far from ourselves, yet return quickly. This inner experience is the purity we call a yogī. Our eyes are very powerful; we must be clear and controlled with them. Those who eat purely are very good. You do not need to know my name; it is inside. We have done work to maintain purity so others may not spoil it. "Open your eyes in the morning, so when we are just open. And so, when we open our eyes, then we see only, 'I am human.'" "And so, whatever it is with us, it is your beautiful best, all that is the purity. So that is what we call a yogī."

The materialized OM
6:50 - 7:12 (22 min)
Recorded on
A refreshing wind signals progress as we prepare for the temple's opening in four months, a short time when busy. The leader's presence accelerates the work, though daily changes are subtle until seen from afar. This completion is a divine achievement of a great vision, yet it is not an end but a step in perpetual creation. Our role is to participate and support, for every small action has effect. This place transforms the land and society, carrying a universal vibration. We must invite skilled helpers to share in this work for future generations, a gift for all humanity to draw nearer to the divine. "Time seems to run more quickly when we are busy, when we engage ourselves in activities." "This area will never be completed. It is like the universe." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Shiva has given us the human body
9:50 - 10:50 (60 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. Shiva is Mahadeva: the God of the Gods. We have to understand what Shiva is. First we should know what is in our heart. Shiva has given us this human body, as well as knowledge, gyana. This gyana, together with the fire of yoga practice, can burn our all karmas.
The Essence of Satsaṅg and Gurukṛpā
10:55 - 11:54 (59 min)
Recorded on
The essence of spiritual life is grace and truthful company. Grace is the sole blessing, flowing from Śiva through the entire guru lineage into every cell, resolving all difficulties. All creatures seek this grace, which manifests as humility in nature. Humans, however, harbor a unique negativity that obscures the soul present within all. We require cleansing, which we find in spiritual gathering. This gathering is satsaṅg—the company of truth. Truth means reality, and company means being together with what is good. It washes away the dirt we accumulate, just as water cleanses the body. We come to such company to relax and reconnect. The inner guru, the Satguru, is like a light within the heart. This gathering unites us, reminding us we are one with the divine and all life. We must engage in truthful company within our own homes and with all beings, recognizing the love present in all creatures. Our purpose is to realize this unity and live in harmony. "Kṛpā permeates our whole body, every single cell, and resolves our problems and difficulties." "Sat means truth. Satsaṅg means together. Satsaṅg means that we all are one."

Spirituality is without meat and alcohol
12:00 - 12:47 (47 min)
Recorded on
Milk is a primary source of prāṇa, essential for health. It comes from mothers—human, cow, buffalo, goat, or camel. From milk comes yogurt, then butter, then ghee, the essence that nourishes the body. The quality of the milk depends on the animal's health and feed; pure grass yields pure milk. Modern processing often adulterates this purity. Animals feel pain, so they must be treated with care and compassion, not exploitation. Consume milk consciously, knowing its source. Alcohol is a medicine, not for regular drinking; it causes familial strife. Choose good food without chemicals for your family's well-being. All religions are good; practice your sādhanā consciously, respecting others. Beauty is in the soul, not the transient body. "From the milk comes yogurt; from yogurt comes butter; and from butter comes ghee. That is the quality, that is the power that is good for our body’s health." "All animals or humans, we are living, they feel pain, and we also feel the pain. Therefore, we should take care." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The first sound came from the ocean
13:30 - 14:06 (36 min)
Recorded on
The primordial sound, Nāda, is the resonant form of the Absolute. This resonance permeates all existence, originating from the cosmic source. The mother of this world is the ocean, the source of life and this foundational sound. Within all beings are dual principles, male and female, which seek balance. The horse symbolizes the complete male principle, revered in sacred rites. A story illustrates this: King Sāgar performed a horse sacrifice, and his sons disturbed the meditating sage Kapila Muni. The sage's wrath turned them to ashes, but through penance, they were restored. This sound from the ocean is used in worship and connects all cycles of time. "The mother of this our world is the ocean. Voda, and life begins from there." "The horse is the complete male. That is the one which you cannot find anywhere."

The science of prāṇāyāma addresses the profound pollution of our existence. Prāṇa, the vital energy, is managed through three processes: Pūrak (inhalation), Rechak (exhalation), and Kumbhak (retention). Sanskrit, the language of this science, resonates deeply, expanding consciousness. Our existence relies on the five elements, with the earth as a nurturing mother who forgives our pollution. Yet now, her forgiveness is strained by our actions. We poison the outer earth—its waters and air—and then our own bodies with toxins and disease. The worst pollution is mental, leading to violence and ignorance. Yoga is designed for this. It is the first science, integrating our five bodies—physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and blissful. Success in yoga comes through karma, selfless action, but is opposed by the great enemy: laziness. The fire of yoga practice burns away all karmic seeds. Prāṇāyāma is more crucial than physical postures; it purifies and protects. It begins by balancing the psychic channels: the left nostril (Chandra, the moon) calms emotions, and the right (Sūrya, the sun) clarifies intellect. This purification of the nāḍīs is the primary tool for deep meditation and strength. "To pollute the earth is a sin. It means you pollute Mother Earth." "The most dangerous pollution is in the human mind." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

A Guided Yoga Practice
23:00 - 23:21 (21 min)
Recorded on
This is a guided yoga practice focusing on slow, mindful movement and adaptation for all bodies. We begin seated, preparing for postures with a focus on slow, deliberate motion. The practice involves a series of stretches and poses, starting from a kneeling position and moving through forward bends, lunges, and spinal extensions. Instructions emphasize proper alignment: keeping the back straight, shoulders down, and knees in line with feet. Modifications are consistently offered for back pain or flexibility limits, such as bending the knees or adjusting foot placement. The sequence includes repeating rounds to build movement after prolonged sitting. The core principle is to know one's own body and practice accordingly, using small steps to achieve stretches, particularly for the legs, back, and hips. The session concludes with a relaxation period, encouraging a release of tension in the hands and body. "Everybody has to know his or her body, so according to this, we should practice." "Relax your neck, relax your neck, yes." Filming location: Khatu, Rajasthan, India
