Yoga Sadhana
0:15 - 1:08 (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
We will bring that divine light
1:15 - 2:03 (48 min)
Recorded on
The essence is the Guru's light and the systematic knowledge received. A rare opportunity exists to be with the Gurudev. India is an ocean of knowledge, and the Guru brings its pure essence to all. The knowledge of the Vedas and Upaniṣads belongs to everyone. A true Guru is a Brahmaniṣṭha Śrotriya, one who knows reality and can speak it simply. Many speak, but few combine knowledge with expression. The provided system of yoga is good and simple. The core duty is to preserve and spread the light received from the Guru through sādhanā. That inner light transforms everything. Follow the masters' words and practice yoga in daily life. "The one who knows the reality and can speak about it... is a Brahmaniṣṭha Śrotriya." "Bring that light everywhere where you are... You are like a sun in the dark universe." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
We are going for oneness
2:10 - 2:58 (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."

Om is Divine
3:05 - 3:41 (36 min)
Recorded on
Aum is the origin and substance of all creation. It is the formless, eternal source, the first vibration from which everything arises. The three qualities of nature emerge from Aum to manifest the universe. All beings live within Aum, and all knowledge, scriptures, and mantras flow from it. Repeating and meditating upon Aum awakens divine light, purifies karma, and overcomes worldly fear and sorrow. The wise hold Aum in their heart, for it is the means to cross the ocean of worldly existence. "Oṃ kar parabrahma rūpahe." "Oṃ se bhavabhaya harachanasaro." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Remain pure
3:45 - 5:02 (77 min)
Recorded on
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."

Pure nourishment
5:10 - 5:59 (49 min)
Recorded on
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."

Yoga treatment for panic attacks
6:05 - 6:57 (52 min)
Recorded on
Life is a challenging struggle, but we receive clarity and energy from the spiritual path, allowing us to rise again. Our journey provides a continual infusion of clarity for development and energy for daily life. This blessing comes from a true source of knowledge. One practical source is Prāṇāyāma, though we often underutilize it. For instance, sleep issues can stem from imbalanced breathing patterns linked to sleep position, a knowledge from Svara Yoga. Similarly, panic attacks arise from low energy and psychological loss tied to identity. The panic sensation itself is an imitation of suffocation triggered by stress-induced clavicular breathing. The antidote is the full Yoga breath, which signals safety to the brain. Beyond this, deep Prāṇāyāma involves releasing the pelvic floor, a storehouse of tension. This practice retrains the brain towards relaxation. While many modern yoga forms lack depth, our path offers techniques and the blessing of wisdom. This wisdom is cultivated through tools like self-inquiry meditation, which cleans perception and establishes healthy inner boundaries by observing personal patterns. "Panic attacks are based on an imitation of suffocation." "With Prāṇāyāma, both clarity and energy are in our hands." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Sun Shines in the Kingdom of God: On Habit, Mind, and the Kośas
7:05 - 7:56 (51 min)
Recorded on
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

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.
Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (3/9)
9:00 - 10:33 (93 min)
Recorded on
A guided yoga practice integrates movement, breath, and awareness. Begin by feeling the body's contact with the floor, focusing on the spine. Proceed through a sequence of postures, coordinating each motion with the breath. Maintain awareness of specific body parts, such as the ankles during leg circles or the shoulder blades during twists. The practice includes variations of poses like spinal twists, leg raises, and forward bends. Breath observation is central; feel the inhalation moving from stomach to throat and the exhalation reversing this path. Conclude with prāṇāyāma and mantra repetition, emphasizing presence and the relaxation of the body and mind. "Try to feel your inhalation moving from your stomach to your throat, and your exhalation moving from your throat to your stomach." "Remain aware of your motion. Continue making large circles, and slowly finish." Filming location: Umag, Croatia
Let this life be the last one

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.
We seek purity
11:10 - 11:21 (11 min)
Recorded on
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
Preparing the Kalash

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.

We can change the world together
15:40 - 16:36 (56 min)
Recorded on
Conscious consumption is imperative for health and spiritual integrity. Many now consume insects and altered foods, a practice spreading globally. This causes physical harm, as foreign substances introduce problems into the body. We lack the proper enzymes to digest such matter, leading to potential blockages and disease. The food system contains hidden ingredients, with labeling often absent in restaurants. Market forces alone are insufficient, as some insect-based products are now cheap and popular. Collective endurance and personal action are required. Cook at home using known, raw ingredients to ensure purity. Unity and sustained refusal to buy harmful products can change industry practices. Historical movements succeeded through shared sacrifice and will. Your health and autonomy depend on what you choose to consume. "To digest such matter, we would need a special enzyme which we do not have." "The best food for our health is no-label food." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Feel the divine sounds of bhajans in your heart
17:40 - 18:42 (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."

We should develop positive qualities
18:50 - 19:54 (64 min)
Recorded on
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."

A Divine Call and the Search for a True Guru
20:00 - 20:48 (48 min)
Recorded on
A divine call initiates the search for a true guru. A vision of Śrī Kṛṣṇa repeatedly requests kheer, compelling its preparation for a visiting saint's gathering. At that satsaṅg, the saint addresses a devotee by name, revealing profound awareness. When asked if one has a guru, the answer emerges from the heart: one is seeking a true guru. Following given addresses leads to an ashram in India. There, a phrase is heard in sleep: "There is nothing in the jīva, but go to the nitya." Travel continues to another ashram to meet the holy guru. An overwhelming energy is received upon meeting. A book is offered, and through grace, the ability to read Hindi is granted. Mantra-dīkṣā is received on a Thursday after offering fruit. Disregarding advice on travel days leads to immediate difficulties, demonstrating the importance of the guru's word. Returning home brings incessant tears and a longing for the ashram. The guru's loving permission allows return. Translations of sacred texts are undertaken as service, a gift enabled by the guru. Further travels and stays in ashrams follow, filled with divine experiences, protective grace, and deep seva. The guru's presence is ultimately felt permanently within the heart. "Have you got a guru? I have not got a guru, but I am looking for a true guru." "For a daughter to come to the father’s house, you don’t even have to get any permission. You can come whenever you want to come." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand
The sleep makes you healthy
20:55 - 21:13 (18 min)
Recorded on
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

Build your intellect supportive
22:15 - 23:31 (76 min)
Recorded on
A clear aim prevents the intellect from becoming a destructive distraction. Without a concrete, intensive aim, the mind changes direction with every possibility, like a traveler diverted from their destination by each new advertisement. A truly clear aim, like the need to take life-saving medicine, admits no argument or diversion. Practical inner experience, not mere theory, provides this unshakable certainty. Once this clarity is present, the intellect becomes a helper rather than an obstacle. However, one must vigilantly avoid all negative talk and bad company, as these can introduce destructive thoughts that spoil spiritual practice. Just as a single drop of lemon curdles milk, one negative influence can ruin years of spiritual effort. Jealousy and gossip are particularly destructive forces that create doubt and disharmony, as illustrated by the story of Narada sowing distrust between Shiva and Parvati. Forgiveness offers a new beginning, but the damage must be repaired through renewed steps. Maintain humility, seek good company, and protect your consciousness, for your thoughts soon become words and your words become your reality. "The sun and moon may change their direction, but I will not change my direction or my path because I know what I want." "One stupid thought, one stupid person, can destroy all your spiritual sādhanā, which you built over years and years with great confidence and love." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 180a
