How the energy circulating in our body
0:25 - 1:49 (84 min)
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. In every petal of our chakras, there is a certain energy in it. Our roots are in the navel. In every chakra there is resonance. When we chant OM our tongue shouldn't move.
Building the Ashram
1:55 - 2:30 (35 min)
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."

The Journey Beyond Duality: Life, Self, and the Path to Oneness
2:35 - 3:47 (72 min)
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."

Opening satsang from the weekend retreat in Strilky, Czech Republic. Satsang is the source of happiness and enlightenment and kusanga is the source of troubles and unhappiness. Swamiji tells the story about the three monkeys and emphsizes "dont see negative, dont speak negative, dont listen negative, see God in everyone."
Shiva is universal
5:50 - 6:11 (21 min)
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."

Kundalini: The Serpent Power of Destiny
6:15 - 7:05 (50 min)
Kundalini is the dormant serpent power of destiny within consciousness. This energy, symbolized by the snake representing time and death, is our latent potential. Our life is governed by destiny, which is the product of our own past actions. No one else is responsible. To navigate this destiny, one must act with awareness of deśa and kāla—place and time. Controlling emotions and adjusting to circumstances brings harmony. The goal is awakening this Kundalini, which is enlightenment—the light of wisdom and love within. This liberation frees one from destiny's power. Human life is rare, and having spiritual interest and a guide is a great blessing for this journey.
"Destiny is the product of your own actions. No one is there to be blamed."

Australia and Fijij
7:10 - 7:49 (39 min)
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."

Real health comes from Nature
7:55 - 8:54 (59 min)
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.
"Many things which we cannot do, which the doctors cannot do."
"This medicine also does not cure; they cannot cure it."

Around The World - Vegetarianism and top sport, Part 2
9:00 - 9:33 (33 min)
Vegetarian athletes discuss overcoming cultural skepticism to achieve high performance through plant-based diets. Initial motivations differ, with one citing yoga's ethical principle of non-violence and the other seeking a competitive edge in sports. Both faced doubt, especially regarding protein for muscle development or endurance. They explain that plant foods provide all necessary nutrients, but require specific knowledge to combine ingredients like legumes and grains for complete proteins. The environment presents a mental barrier, with a prevailing belief that meat is essential for strength, which they counter with personal results. Diet is highly tailored to their sports: bodybuilding focuses on muscle mass, while endurance sports like triathlon prioritize efficient energy use and recovery. They emphasize mindful eating, noting how food affects acidity, energy, and digestion during training. Discipline and listening to the body are crucial, as is the mindset that transforms training into a joyful, inspired practice beyond mere competition.
"Vegetarian nutrition was simply a continuation. That ethical aspect of vegetarianism, non-violence, developed later."
"People have a kind of sneer, like, 'No, well, look, after all, if you are vegetarian, then you won’t be able to reach that level.'"

The Awakening of Kuṇḍalinī: A Journey to Happiness, Love, and Wisdom
9:40 - 10:08 (28 min)
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."

We seek purity
10:15 - 10:26 (11 min)
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.

Removing pollution from the body and mind
10:30 - 11:11 (41 min)
Yoga and Ayurveda are ancient sciences originating from divine sources, not limited to recent historical figures. Yoga was given by Śiva, and Ayurveda began with Dhanvantari from the churning of the ocean. A story from the Rāma era, over 10,000 years ago, illustrates Ayurveda's power: Hanuman brought the Sañjīvanī herb to heal Lakṣmaṇa. It is incorrect to claim these sciences are only 5,000 years old, dating them merely from figures like Patañjali or Caraka. Yoga practice unites body, mind, and soul through postures and mantra, addressing impurities, disturbances, and ignorance. Humans, unlike other creatures, create significant pollution and illness due to erroneous lifestyles, including improper diet. Survival and peace come from practicing yoga and Ayurveda, embracing purity and selfless work, not material accumulation.
"Yoga, the science of body, mind, and soul, was brought by Swayambhū Śiva."
"Ayurveda means the knowledge of life, of health. It is said, 'Health is not everything, but without health, everything is nothing.'"

The Nāḍīs, Cakras, and the Mūlādhāra Foundation
11:15 - 12:12 (57 min)
The Mūlādhāra Cakra is the foundational center of human consciousness and destiny. The three primary channels are iḍā (mind), piṅgalā (intellect), and suṣumṇā (consciousness), which distribute cosmic energy. Suṣumṇā connects to the Ātmā and has key stations at the Manipūra, Anāhata, and Sahasrāra. Mūlādhāra, at the spine's base, is the root support. It holds Prārabdha—your past deeds and destiny—which shapes your life's conditions. This destiny is a powerful, subtle energy you cannot fight, but it provides the reason for living. To understand and work with this, practice svādhyāya (self-study), manana (contemplation), and abhyāsa (disciplined practice). These remove the three obstacles: mala (impurity), vikṣepa (disturbances), and āvaraṇa (the veil of ignorance). Purification leads to viveka (discernment). The divine energy within Mūlādhāra is Kuṇḍalinī Śakti, which can be directed positively or negatively. Awakening it through techniques like Kriyā Yoga and Prāṇāyāma brings wisdom and love. Mūlādhāra's red color symbolizes Śakti, the Mother Earth principle, in union with Śiva, consciousness. Honoring this foundation through a natural, yogic life purifies mental pollution and aligns you with your true nature.
"Destiny is from the past. And so our destiny is dormant in the Mūlādhāra Cakra."
"Svādhyāya, Manana, and Abhyāsa, these three principles will remove the other three qualities: Mala, Vikṣepa, and Āvaraṇa."

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.

Be kind to all creatures
22:50 - 23:50 (60 min)
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."
