The Awakening of Kuṇḍalinī: A Journey to Happiness, Love, and Wisdom
0:20 - 0:48 (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."

Kundalini: The Serpent Power of Destiny
3:40 - 4:30 (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."
"Act according to the time and place. Whoever can adjust himself or herself to this time and situation will be successful."

Building the Ashram
4:35 - 5:10 (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."

We seek purity
5:15 - 5:26 (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.
"Please do not be black, please do not be black."

Real health comes from Nature
7:10 - 8:09 (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."

If you don’t accept, you will lose the chance
8:15 - 8:53 (38 min)
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.

Around the world - Surya Namaskar, Zagreb, CRO
9:00 - 9:36 (36 min)
Sūrya Namaskāra is a classical yoga practice integrating movement, cakra concentration, and mantra. It is best performed at sunrise or sunset, honoring the sun as a life-giving deity. The practice involves a precise sequence of twelve movements. Begin by standing with feet together, palms at the chest. Inhale, raise arms and arch back from the chest, focusing on the Viśuddhi cakra at the throat. Exhale, bend forward with a straight spine, then step one leg back. Lower the body, move into Bhujaṅgāsana, then push back up. Step the foot forward and return to standing. Quality is essential: avoid arching the lower back when bending backward, and keep the spine straight when folding forward to prevent injury. The practice purifies the body and mind. Daily practice makes one resilient like the sun, purifying one's atmosphere so negativity cannot take hold. We then layer concentration on specific cakras—Anāhata, Viśuddhi, Maṇipūra, Sahasrāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna—with each movement and breath. Finally, we integrate silent repetition of twelve solar mantras, such as "Oṃ Mitrāya Namaḥ," with the postures and cakra focus. This unified practice affects the physical body, the cakras, and consciousness.
"It is said that daily morning practice of Sūrya Namaskāra makes your body and self like the sun."
"Movement quality is crucial. In the first movement, avoid excessive arching in the lower back."

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.

The Light of Life and the Path to Liberation
11:15 - 12:08 (53 min)
The light of life is the light of God, and our purpose is to awaken and attain liberation.
Human life is a rare and precious opportunity given by God. Our prime duty is to protect all creatures and live with mutual love and understanding. We are travelers in this world; we brought nothing and will take nothing material when we go. Do not waste this life on mere animalistic activities like eating and sleeping, or on gossip and doubt. Spirituality is purity of consciousness, thought, and behavior—tolerance, forgiveness, and love. Search for your own mistakes, not the faults of others. Develop divine qualities within yourself. You must awaken yourself; no one else can do it for you. While you can receive help, you must ultimately stand on your own feet. Dependency on others leads to suffering, but love is unconditional and liberating. God is within you; the highest realization is oneness, where the knower, knowledge, and object become one. Surrender to God, for only with Him can you find true happiness.
"Know thyself. If you know yourself, you will know everything. If you do not know yourself, you know nothing."
"Lord, I have surrendered my life to you, because only with you can I be happy, even if I have to walk through stones and a thorny path."

How the energy circulating in our body
14:05 - 15:29 (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.

The Journey Beyond Duality: Life, Self, and the Path to Oneness
19:45 - 20:57 (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."

Shiva is universal
22:50 - 23:11 (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."
