This lecture details the Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā purification techniques. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the cleansing of the entire intestine using warm, lightly salted water, performed early in the morning on an empty stomach. It involves drinking water and performing specific movements and postures to guide the water through the system. This practice is beneficial for conditions like high blood pressure and digestive issues but is not advised for those under 15, individuals with active ulcers or hernias, or pregnant women. Preparation includes a light diet the prior evening. The process continues until the expelled water runs clear. A strict diet must follow for at least one week, avoiding alcohol, meat, fish, eggs, and raw foods. Kunjal Kriyā is the cleansing of the stomach, performed after Śaṅkha Prakṣālana by drinking unsalted water to the point of fullness and then voluntarily expelling it. This practice helps purify the stomach and can aid those with bronchial asthma. The session concludes with rest and a meal of specially prepared kicharī. "The best time to do Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is in March, the beginning of September, the end of May, and before the winter." "After Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, you have to keep a diet for at least, strictly, seven days, one week, and up to one month." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Satguru's message is for the pure-hearted disciple to understand and accept. Only a disciple with a pure inner instrument understands the Guru's indications. We often reject the message, losing our chance. The Guru's word comes to truth. He is never against us. Our qualities determine progress. A flawed disciple turns nectar to poison, while a good one turns poison to nectar. The Guru's harsh instruction is medicine for our disease. We must surrender to it. Social education is a foundational quality. We also absorb foreign energies from bad company, which acts like a virus destroying spiritual progress. We must protect ourselves. Our intellect possesses Viveka, the discernment to know we eat to live, not live to eat. We ignore God's indications through nature, becoming dependent on technology instead. All holy scriptures are the Guru's word. Following them leads to liberation. Human life is great but poor due to temptations. Spiritual company hunts out negative energies. Spirituality is purity. We must analyze our path from endless past lives every moment. The Satguru awakens our sleeping soul, enabling us to cross the worldly ocean. Through his grace, we realize our true Self as the immortal soul, beyond birth and death. "Even if we give milk to a cobra, the cobra will produce poison." "Āpo āpaḥ svarūpa lakṣyā" – see your own Self in yourself. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through balance. The universe is an endless, conscious body. Within it, the divine will manifested as the sound Aum, from which the elements emerged. The human form is special due to its educable intellect. The physical body is sustained by 72,000 energy channels, or nāḍīs, which distribute cosmic energy. Three principal nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā—govern our being and intersect at energy centers called chakras. The dormant spiritual power, Kuṇḍalinī, awakens as super-consciousness, uniting these energies. Our current consciousness is often mired in lower chakras, leading to animalistic behaviors and negative emotions like jealousy. The mind cannot be controlled, only guided, as it moves between the conscious and subconscious. Physical death is a recycling of elements, analogous to the soul's reincarnation. "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." Filming location: Sunshine Coast, Australia

The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī is a journey to happiness, universal love, and wisdom. Our journey spans many lives as we develop individual consciousness, which is part of the cosmic Self. Yoga is the practice of reunion with that Self. We have five bodies, or kośas: the physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and causal bodies. The causal body holds two levels of joy: limited worldly happiness and divine, everlasting bliss. The soul is the collection of our karmas and qualities, not the divine Self. At self-realization, this soul dissolves. When the physical body dies, the karma and qualities persist like a shadow, determining future destiny. Chakras receive and circulate cosmic energy. They must be purified through mantra and yogic practice for Kuṇḍalinī to awaken. Without proper guidance, this awakening can cause imbalance and unpleasant feelings. The term Kuṇḍalinī relates to a deep place of unconsciousness where past experiences reside. Its serpentine symbolism refers to the winding path of the body's energy channels, the nāḍīs. Awakening is not a physical crawling sensation but a process that brings happiness, universal love, and wisdom in stages. "Yoga means union, and practicing yoga means reunion. We are part of the cosmic Self." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means happiness, universal love, and wisdom—these three are connected by these three nāḍīs." Filming location: Debrecen, Hungary

The human body and all life are profoundly influenced by the seasons and the earth's radiance. The greatest threat today is climate change, caused by human greed. This mental pollution creates physical pollution, leading to drought and suffering. If we had followed the prayers and instructions of ancient sages, this situation would not exist. People pray for rain, but often do so selfishly as beggars. Śiva asks for unconditional love and devotion, not begging. The use of chemical pesticides creates unbearable heat in the earth, harming it like a cancer and contributing to environmental breakdown. The four monsoon months are designated for dedicated worship and meditation on Lord Śiva. Śiva is the eternal, undestroyable consciousness from which all manifestation arises. I advise all to meditate on Śiva and repeat the mantra. Prayer must come from a heart of endless love, not like morning dew that vanishes. Pray for forgiveness and for the sake of all creatures and vegetation. "Mother Earth has enough for everyone’s need, but not for their greed." "Where there is love, there are no conditions: unconditional love, unconditional devotion." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

We are called to purity in the Kali Yuga. This age is powerful and far-reaching. I observe a trend of darkness, like black attire and cars, advancing everywhere. In contrast, the teachings and bhajans given embody a clear and beautiful purity. I urge devotees not to be black, though some identify with it. Others declare they are the pure 'pū'. This 'pū' is the moment of receiving a pure drop from God, refusing all other water, even from a vast ocean. We must proceed with this aspiration. In our singing and being, we must be very pure and clean, declaring "I am." That sound of "I am" is purity itself. Our true state is revealed by looking to God within. Peace arrives not in time, but at life's end. "Please do not be black, please do not be black." "I am, I am." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

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

The spiritual journey requires humility, love for all beings, and steadfast practice, not the pursuit of a holy seat. We are all one. Humans possess knowledge that animals lack, yet all creatures share the capacity for pain, so we must help, not kill them. A holy seat exists in many traditions, reserved for one person. Yet a pure child or a bird would be welcomed there by the seated saint. The one on the seat must be humble, not claim superiority. Our practice, whether yoga or sport, leads to relaxation. From there, we expand our compassion to feel for all suffering, like in an earthquake. This developed humility allows us to understand higher truths. Many levels of yoga exist, and the highest leads to an expansive, humble heart like a great tree that shelters all. Such a person is fit for the holy seat. Many traditions only seat males, yet we worship divine feminine forms. The one on the chair bears a responsibility for all, not ownership. Do not merely seek a title; many spiritually developed beings exist everywhere. Spiritual progress requires steady climbing, not haste. Do not run from teacher to teacher seeking quick results, as a parable teaches. "One in all and all in one." "Protect them, feed them, but don’t kill them and don’t eat them."

Faith is essential; without it, all practice is futile. If you lack trust, you are like a driver constantly jumping between cars, going nowhere. You will be cheated and lost without a single, committed path. We are like a child in the womb, needing to develop in that secure place. Many are tempted by other masters offering miracles or predictions, but this shows a lack of self-confidence. Everything you need is within you, but you must grow yourself. Our tradition's door is always open, yet you must have faith in your chosen path. Do not run to many different sources, or you will lose everything, like the dog who, seeing its reflection, dropped its bread to grab another. Focus on one practice to gain all. Control your senses, the ten horses, through meditation. Do not be distracted by astrology or doubt. Do good, get good. Practice your mantra and sādhanā faithfully. "Ek saje sab saje, aur sab saje sab jāye. When you practice one, you will get all. And when you will try to do all, then you will get lost in all." "Your eyes, you see now what your jñānendriya is doing... When jñānas and karmas come together, then you are lost." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The narrative reflects on ancient migrations, colonial history, and spiritual continuity across lands. People from India long ago moved to Australia, living near oceans and eating fish and animals, eventually becoming isolated. Later, Europeans arrived, fought with them, and displaced them. The United Nations now records everyone's origins and has improved conditions for all. Indians were also brought to places like Fiji by the British to work with sugar, facing hardship but now living well. Disciples in these countries maintain Indian traditions, temples, and spirituality. The speaker travels to observe how people live, finding peace and devotion in simple, natural settings. Good water and spiritual practices are valued. Despite the challenges of different eras, a focus on prayer, vegetarianism, and reverence for life sustains a harmonious existence across nations. "They are from India; this is from India, from South India." "Now, the United Nations has made everything very good for everyone." Filming location: Fiji Islands

The spiritual path is guided from within, yet we often lose our way. Divine grace permeates all elements and directions, supporting a positive, clean yogic practice free from negative pursuits. While various traditions hold value, we frequently stray into confusion, like being lost in a fog or a forest. Our inner self, the ātmā, remains pure, but our physical perception is clouded. We must consult our heart and meditate to find clarity, not by choosing a path, but by listening inwardly. However, we can be like the blind man who, offered guidance, insists on his own method and repeatedly misses the door because he does not pause. We must acknowledge our mistakes to our heart and to the divine. True meditation is an internal state of peace, like a child nursing to sleep, yet using tools like a mālā and mantra is essential to stay anchored and not get lost in space. All practice must be rooted in the foundational power of the Mūlādhāra chakra, just as a building needs deep foundations. "My heart will tell us, 'Your eyes can be blind, but my heart will not.'" "Therefore, mala must be there. And if you make a meditation and you don't want a mala... you are very deep, but now you are lost in this space." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. At this time of the year, many people in the world are waiting for Jesus to come. Krishna's mother was suffering very much like Jesus's mother Holy Maria. Now we worship every great saint. God is in every creature. Don't be the cause of the pain of any creatures. If you worship God first worship your mother. Mother animals also feel love for their babies and feel pain if they lose them. Bhajan singing.

Health involves both conventional medicine and natural, yogic approaches. Doctors often manage symptoms without providing lasting cures. Many ailments persist despite treatment. Natural methods from India, like yoga and specific exercises, offer profound benefits. Certain tree barks and natural preparations can address stomach and bodily issues where medicine fails. I am not a doctor; I am a yogi pointing to what is natural. Practice simple postures and breathing. Consistency with these natural methods brings health. Both systems have value, but the natural path is deeply restorative and often overlooked. True well-being comes from harmonizing with nature's intelligence.

Guru Tattva is directly connected to God Shiva. Guru Tattva is the highest Tattva in the world. Shiva Tattva destroys all negative karmas, negative thoughts and qualities which we cannot overcome. Vishnu Tattva is protecting us and our destiny. Brahma Tattva creates in us good thoughts, the positive way of thinking. It creates within us a better, positive and wise man. Guru Tattva is not the physical embodiment of the Guru. Guru Tattva is the knowledge. It is the divine light and we adore that light. When we get this light it means Atma Gyana, Moksha, liberation. Guru Tattva is knower of everyone and lives in everyone. Gurudev is carrying the light within and is bringing us the wisdom. We are searching the light, keep it, don't lose it. Gurudev is that one which operate all negative karmas away because he has that knowledge. Guru consciousness is awaken and one who is awaken can awake others.

Yoga in Daily Life unites a global family through shared practice and spiritual lineage. A disciple teaches this system in China, encountering a local yoga culture focused on gymnastic feats. Despite obstacles, students find relaxation and strength, forming a new community. A Chinese student shares her journey to Europe, describing a life previously closed to sharing, now opening through this yoga family. The practice is presented as a universal light spreading across continents. A teacher from New Zealand speaks of finding depth in the tradition, while one from San Francisco shares lessons in adapting. Another recounts meeting the guru serendipitously, changing her life. The teaching emphasizes reconnecting with the earth for health, advocates for authentic yoga practice over acrobatics, and warns against the dangers of drugs and alcohol. It calls for protecting nature, framing humans as potential destroyers or protectors of the natural world. "Through Yoga in Daily Life, we are bringing everybody together."

The chakras contain immense power we must master, requiring guidance. From Mūlādhāra to Viśuddhi, these centers mix human and animal qualities. The Svādhiṣṭhāna generates waves of passion that can sweep us away. The Kuṇḍalinī lies dormant until awakened. The three nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā—wind left and right; when knowledge dawns, energy flows straight. A coiled snake represents the three guṇas, which pull us downward. Our desires create holes through which energy drains. The Maṇipūra Chakra is the seat of sound and fire. Viṣṇu resides in the navel, resting on the ocean of purity. Regular practice of prāṇāyāma like Bhastrikā and Kapālabhāti energizes the body from this center. Reading scriptures must move from intellect to heart. Knowledge requires daily churning and application over time. "Strive for oneness, purity, without blemish. Do not stain your body." "Our life may be ending, but we should not waste time.

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Moon is one of the Siva's symbols. Married couples have also that symbol of the moon on their head. In the Indian wedding ceremony, the female represents the Moon and the mail represents the Sun. Movements are in the nerve system to balance the Sun and Moon energy in the body in a serpent way. Snake is a symbol of its kind of movement. The Earth is held by a snake inbalance. When it moves a little there are many problems. Water and fire can not exist without each other. Practising kriya helps us to manifest our real human qualities. The story about two brothers who have educated themselves in different directions.
