Morning lecture from Strilky seminar
0:30 - 1:12 (42 min)
Recorded on
Sit in a straight meditation posture and relax the entire body. Be aware of being in nature, within the divine atmosphere of the āśram. Withdraw from the external world and bring awareness to the breath. This breath is the thread of life. Inhale cosmic energy and exhale toxins. Practice Nāḍī Śodhana Prāṇāyāma by breathing through one nostril at a time to purify the nerves and tranquilize thoughts. Concentrate on the breath at the center of the eyebrows, where a sparkling light may be seen. Conclude by feeling the environment, chanting OM, and performing a forward bend to benefit the senses and brain. "Our breath is the thread of our life." "This prāṇāyāma is known as Nāḍī Śodhana Prāṇāyāma, or the purification of the nerves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Paths and Practices of Haṭha Yoga
1:20 - 1:50 (30 min)
Recorded on
Haṭha Yoga is a distinct branch of yoga concerning disciplined willpower and energy. The Bhagavad Gītā references eighteen yogas, while Patañjali's system outlines four primary paths: Karma, Bhakti, Jñāna, and Rāja Yoga. Haṭha Yoga integrates into this framework. One local explanation describes four types of willpower: the innocent persistence of a child, the determined will of women, the commanding will of a king, and the striving will of a yogī. Classically, Haṭha Yoga begins with six purification techniques, the Ṣaṭkarma, not merely postures. Its foundation lies in balancing the nāḍīs, the energy channels. The union of the Ha (Iḍā) and Tha (Piṅgalā) channels creates yoga. Practice starts with the left nostril to calm the moon channel, which governs the ever-changing mind, before proceeding to the right, sun channel. "According to Patañjali’s teaching in the Patañjali Yoga Sūtra—a very good book—yoga is not only physical exercise. It concerns the mind, consciousness, and the vṛttis (mental modifications)." "Classically, according to the yogīs, the given techniques are these six kriyās. Then we go further with our meditation, mantras, and achievements." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Atma and the Soul
1:55 - 2:36 (41 min)
Recorded on
The essence is realizing the non-dual Self, Ātmā Anubhūti. Ātmā is the individual Self, identical to the supreme Paramātmā. Like space is one though occupying different forms, the one Ātmā is within all entities. What is commonly called the soul is individual, a mixture, but the pure Ātmā is beyond desires and is consciousness itself. For this realization, Śaṅkarācārya taught Advaita, non-duality. He illustrated this with the reflection of one moon in many cups of water; the reflections are many, but the moon is one. Duality is ignorance, like mistaking a rope for a snake, which creates fear. When knowledge dawns, the illusion vanishes. This ignorance is removed by the light of knowledge within. Therefore, practice is essential through resolve and discipline to experience this unity. Do not delay practice with excuses. "There is only one moon, and that one is reflected in the different bodies, the ātmā." "When our viveka, our knowledge-light dawns... Ignorance is darkness; knowledge is the light." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Do good things and be happy
2:40 - 3:26 (46 min)
Recorded on
Bhajan is a supreme spiritual practice, singing the divine names that unite all hearts beyond language. It brings inner peace and beauty, relaxing the body and mind. Yet, the world contains both good and negative tendencies, like violence and intoxication. All religions contain happiness, but the highest path avoids harming others. Every living creature possesses and offers peace and love. A story illustrates this: a great tree, confident in its strength, was warned by a sādhu of its coming end. It doubted any man or elephant could break it. Later, the sādhu returned to find the tree fallen, destroyed not by great force but by a small, persistent agent. Do not mistake size for security or become arrogant in power. In this age, conflict is prevalent, but our essence is divine spirit. True practice is inward. Be wary of those who claim greatness while seeking material gain. The divine encompasses all dualities. "Bhajan gives us very beautiful words: Hare, Bhagavān, Kṛṣṇa, Rāma—all of them." "Don’t think that I am okay, powerful, and that I don’t want anybody else like this." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

India, Summer 2005. Report about the Swamijis activities.
We are going for oneness
4:20 - 5:08 (48 min)
Recorded on
The path is to transcend the sense of a separate self and realize oneness. Yoga means to unite with the cosmic reality. The individual self is temporary, like the daily sun, while the inner self is eternal light. Do not think only "I am"; countless beings exist within one body. All paths move toward merging into the divine unity of Śiva, Brahmā, and Viṣṇu. If one clings to duality and separation, one becomes lost. The practice is to go with this flow toward unity, not against it. Ultimately, the body returns to dust, but the pure consciousness remains. Continuously remember the guru and the divine name to connect with that light. All gurus and traditions lead to the same one reality. "One in all and all in one." "Gurudev, Gurudev, Gurudev." Filming location: Maha Kumbha Mela, India
Raising the Kalash
5:15 - 5:58 (43 min)
Recorded on
The call to samādhi is a profound spiritual instruction. Sit down completely. This sitting is the foundation. It is the first and final instruction for entering deep meditation. The mind must settle into absolute stillness. From this stillness, divine connection arises. Invocations and chants align the practitioner with higher consciousness. They sanctify the space and the seeker. The ultimate goal is union with the divine principle. "Sit down, sit down, sit down,... sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,... sit down,..." "Jai ho Śrī Mahāvandeśwar Swāmījī Mahārāj Jai ho Mahiśwanānjī Mahārāj" Filming location: Rajasthan, India
Preparing the Kalash
6:05 - 6:47 (42 min)
Recorded on
The essence of grace and refuge is found in devotion and surrender. This text is a devotional chant of praise and invocation, not a logical discourse. Its purpose is spiritual communion through repeated sacred names and phrases. The structure is repetitive and formulaic, focusing on reverence. It invokes the Guru and divine figures as the ultimate refuge. The fragmented phrases are for meditative repetition, not linear analysis. The core is taking refuge in grace. "Jaya Guru Deva Parabrahma Dīna Bandhu." "Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān Kī Jai." Filming location: Rajasthan, India
We suffer because we left Nature
6:55 - 7:45 (50 min)
Recorded on
The true home is not a physical place but the heart's connection to all existence. The family we are born into is often difficult, but yoga reveals the entire world as our true family. Religious festivals, understood through a master's light, transform from ritual into spiritual meaning. The goal is to absorb divine sweetness like a wooden spoon in honey, which requires an open heart, not ego. We are all plants in God's garden meant to bear the fruit of knowledge, which must be shared or it is lost. This is the living tradition. The path to the highest reality is through the guru principle, found not in ego but in humility, like an ant finding a grain of sugar. Human suffering arises from living unnaturally, disconnected from the laws of nature. We must return to a natural way of living through practice and by teaching what we have learned. "Only through the knowledge of yoga—from a self-realized master—are we able to understand the messages hidden within religion." "If you do not teach others, they will be lost after your death. Therefore, it is called a living school." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Everything is in our heart
8:45 - 8:58 (13 min)
Recorded on
The grace of the guru is experienced through devotion and miraculous presence. People constantly call for the speaker to visit them. A story is told of Mahāprabhujī as a child going with cows that ate from a farm; despite concerns, Gurujī said it would result in more for the owners, and it did. The speaker describes visiting places associated with Mahāprabhujī, who is meditating deeply. Another figure stays in the jungle, refusing to enter a house even for food. People question the speaker's absence over years, but the speaker cites health. The essence is that the guru and devotees are connected in the heart, enabling all things. Disciples act in harmony with the guru's will. "Gurujī said, 'Don't worry, let them eat.'" "He said, 'Okay, you can give it to me outside. I don't go inside, yeah.'"

Let this life be the last one
10:45 - 11:10 (25 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram , Rajastham, India. We have no right to print and multiply Alakhpuriji's photo. It is saved by copyright. Yoga asanas are originated from the nature given by Siva. There are many other asanas which are originated from the movements of the rishis. We should come out from the cycles of birth and death. Practising asanas means respecting nature. Satsang bhajans and good words are our spiritual nourishing.
Self is happiness
11:15 - 11:53 (38 min)
Recorded on
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect. "If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere." "The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 155b
Feel the divine sounds of bhajans in your heart
12:00 - 13:02 (62 min)
Recorded on
Satsang is the gathering for truth. Coming together creates a strength and fullness beyond solitude. 'Sat' is truth, the fundamental reality of our being and awareness. 'Sang' means together—with oneself and with the divine. This union is Satsang. We engage through bhajan, where inner truth manifests as outer song. True singing arises from within, making the singer an instrument for divine vibration. Even in sleep, truth permeates our dreams. A story illustrates how inner truth clarifies reality: a man's dream of ice cream later manifests through his wife's action, revealing the inner reality shaping the outer. Spiritual practice requires removing impurities to perceive this truth directly. The voice in bhajan channels this energy, uniting singer, instrument, and listener in one vibration. "Sat means the truth. We are all here, we are, we know, and we should be." "True singing arises from within, making the singer an instrument for divine vibration."

Meditation comes from itself. When you meditate, you are one with yourself. The dream is your reality, to know the moment of falling asleep is the first step in meditation. Practicing meditation with Vishwaguruji.
Yoga Sadhana
19:50 - 20:43 (53 min)
Recorded on
Sādhanā is the essential science for returning to the divine self. Yoga is not for material gain but for cosmic union. This practice requires dedicated effort, not mere discussion. Many approach spiritual life with worldly attachments, but only those who sit and practice sincerely remain. The true treasure is not material wealth but the inner wealth gained through sādhanā. The body is merely a vehicle; one must not identify with it. The mind must be purified and guided, like managing unruly horses pulling a chariot. A master shapes a disciple as a potter shapes clay, with care and support, but a flawed vessel may be broken and remade. All beings are part of a greater flow, like stones in the Ganga. Ego is fragile and must be surrendered to become a light for the Guru. "Sādhanā cara karo Hari pyārā, jinse pāo hogā tere ānanda apārā." "Your brain, your head, your thoughts, your thinking, all should be pure and clear." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
