Candle meditation - Tratak. A very effective technique for stress release and improving the eye sight. Specially for the people spending a lot of time in the front of the computer. With explanation and practice. Recorded on 18th May 2010 in Vienna, Austria.

A great tree endures storms and provides shelter without complaint, teaching us about strength and purity in a troubled age. This time is very hard, marked by killing and eating animals, which creates many problems. People have brought their ways to new places, and now those ways return, making things bad. We must be very strong, like a tree. Our strength comes from purity in family life, where mother cares for child and husband, and husband provides everything to his wife. But now there are often problems between husband and wife. We are like a single drop of water or a spark of fire in this world; our role is small but must be pure. After the fighting, the pure will go to God. You should be your wife, your husband, your father, your mother—make it all soft. Sit and relax, taking in the power from the trees and the air. "There’s a thousand storms and a fury of rain. It suffers us, yet does not complain." "To those who hurt stones with feet, yields fruit with no touch of remorse."

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

Purification extends beyond the physical body through mantra and sāttvic nourishment. Mantra purifies the subtle layers of being. Physical and Haṭha Yoga techniques offer limited inner cleansing. True purification requires developing Sattva Guṇa, one of the three fundamental qualities, which is cultivated primarily through diet. Sattvic food possesses positive energy and includes fruits and leaves taken without destroying the plant, adhering to a Phalahārī principle. The Mahā-mṛtyu-jaya Mantra connects fragrance and nourishment to vegetation. Substances like Śilājit, when properly prepared, also promote sattvic qualities. Purifying the brain and Antaḥkaraṇa involves sāttvic living, āsanas, and prāṇāyāma, leading the life toward spirituality. Transcending the three guṇas is the goal, but mere dietary sattva is insufficient without genuine inner transformation, as illustrated by stories of lengthy spiritual training where students confront their own reactions. Real purification is an internal process of thought and behavior, moving beyond dependence on externals. "Through food, we create Sattva Guṇa; we purify our body, the nerves, and all different kinds of nerves and veins." "If we live a sāttvic life, then the purification of the brain occurs."

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."

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,..."

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.

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

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.

Sleep reveals the distinction between the body and the true Self. In sleep, the entire body is present in the heart, offered to God. Proper sleep is essential for peace and progress, not found through medicine but through self-understanding. The sleeping body remains, but awareness travels, demonstrating consciousness is not confined to form. This experience shows the Self is separate from its temporary states. From the heart, consciousness moves through the navel, projecting everywhere while the body rests. This process mirrors death but is not death, as the navel anchor remains. Deep sleep brings relaxation and restoration, with the body functioning autonomously. The two aspects are dreaming travel and physical rest. Yoga nidrā touches this state of conscious sleep. "we are sleeping, but that is not us." "Love is the right yourself, yourself in your Self, which is happiness, the source of all greatness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

This weekend provided a spiritual vaccination against the subtle influences of Kali Yuga. The age's decay enters through small compromises, like a mouse, creating spiritual inflation. We must learn to firmly say no to ourselves, for the gentle approach of this era ends with us caught unaware. A yogi, like aged ghee, improves with time; one is never too old for sādhana. This injection strengthens our immunity, but ongoing practice is essential. We must carry this light home and arrive at the coming opening in a state of spiritual readiness, not merely physical. Our perspective on food, practice, and community must grasp the deeper principle of non-harm. "To know how to say 'No' to ourselves." "We are never too old for our sādhana."

The call is for purity in the Kali Yuga. This age is powerful and far-reaching, observed in trends like the prevalence of dark colors. Beautiful colors and purity are presented within the teachings and bhajans. One must not identify with blackness but with purity. The term pū describes a seeker in a dry state, refusing impure water and awaiting a single pure drop from above. We must proceed with this aspiration. In our practice, be very pure and clean. Declare "I am," for that sound is purity itself. True peace is found by looking to God within; it is here. This realization comes not in months but at life's end. "Please do not be black, please do not be black." "I am, I am... My sound, 'I am,' is pure—it is purity itself." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Yoga in daily life is the ever-shining sun, present everywhere. The program begins with purifying the body's impurities. Habit becomes one's second nature. A story illustrates this: a man jumps into a river to retrieve a coat, which is actually a bear. The bear catches him. The man wishes to leave the coat, but the coat does not leave him. This is the condition of dependency. People find time for negative habits but claim to have no time for meditation or good deeds. The mind is a reflection, like a face in a mirror; one cleans the mirror, but the spot is on the face. The mind must be corrected through techniques, good society, and meditation. The five sheaths of the being are the body of nourishment, energy, mind, intellect, and bliss. Liberation comes from mastering the mind, attachment, hope, and thirst. Give charity without expectation of return. This is the science of yoga for body, mind, and soul. "Habit is the second nature of the human." "Man marā na mamatā marī—your desires, what you want to have." Filming location: Alexandria, USA

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from weekend Yoga seminar in Salzburg, Austria. Traditions are important and more or less similar in the whole world. The Austrian culture is very rich and beautiful. Many books of ancient Indian culture was destroyed by Moguls. We can digest everything except the truth. Tell honestly yourself your negative qualities. Remain natural as it is. Culture and education we should get from our parents. Short meditation how to turn negative to positive.

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."

Perfection requires practice, not just theory. There are two types of masters: one who speaks and one who acts through dedicated practice. True meditation is not merely closing one's eyes; it requires the focused commitment of lagan, akin to love that overcomes all distance. On the path, many obstacles arise, serving as the best school. Do not seek glory from the crowd; true friends are few. Dharma—our duty and discipline—protects those who protect it. It manifests in relationships: between parent and child, husband and wife. Protection is mutual; safeguarding others safeguards yourself. Dharma, patience, a true friend, and a faithful partner are revealed in terrible times when all others oppose you. Without these, meditation is impossible due to mental disturbances, the vikāras: greed, insatiable desire, fickleness, and thievery of mind, word, and deed, including intellectual property. Stealing a master's teachings without acknowledgment creates bad karma. All true masters are connected like branches of one tree. Honesty and mercy are the roots of dharma; pride is the root of sin. Purify these first; then meditation can come. "Tons of theory is nothing compared with a grain of practice." "If you protect the dharma, the dharma will protect you."

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

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Cherkasy, Ukraine. Every human has an individual choice. We have to come to our destination on our own. The Soul is searching for the destination. 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.
