Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through harmony and balance. The cosmic energy governs the universe, and this principle of union was discovered by ancient yogis. The individual soul is a spark of the divine light, present in all life. We originate from the cosmic sound and are composed of the five elements. Our journey involves many births, guided by karma, as the soul moves through forms and relations. The human body contains dormant energy centers called chakras, connected by 72,000 channels. Three primary channels—Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna—regulate energy, mind, and activity, converging at key points to form the chakras. These centers correspond to the elements and levels of consciousness, from the earthly Muladhara to the divine Sahasrara. Activating these centers through practice leads toward liberation. "Yoga means union—the union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness." "What is existing in the universe is existing in your body." Filming location: Croatia DVD 182a

The necessity of a living guru and spiritual family is paramount for crossing the ocean of worldly existence. A solitary traveler on the path will inevitably stumble on obstacles like jealousy, pride, and ego. The guidance of a self-realized master provides the essential light. When one joins a spiritual family, differences and minor confusions may arise, but the united sangha, guided by the guru, moves forward together. Different yogic paths are like rivers merging into the same ocean. Complete surrender to the guru reduces the karmic effects one must face, though challenges will still return. The guru's divine flame resides within each disciple; our sadhana is the fuel that keeps it burning. Faith creates a protective sphere. The guru, like a father, foresees and mitigates difficulties before they fully manifest. He resides in every heart; invoking him within solves problems. Use your discrimination but have unwavering trust. The bond with one's Sadguru is eternal and unbreakable. Stick together as one family; unity provides strength and stability that the winds of adversity cannot overcome. "Without a Guru, it is impossible to cross that ocean." "Once a guru, forever a guru."

A guided meditation for a spiritual teacher's birthday, performed mentally by disciples who cannot be physically present. Visualize the teacher seated before you. Perform a mental worship: apply sacred mark to his feet with a chant, light an imagined lamp, and perform ritual circling with it. Offer flowers, make full prostration, and ask for forgiveness. Feel the teacher's hand blessing your head, transmitting light and power. Offer him imagined food. Express profound gratitude for his incarnation, work, and guidance. Pray for peace, happiness, and steadfastness on the path. Pray for the teacher's health and strength, stating that while he can heal all, your prayers and love are what sustain him. "Visualize in your heart that he is sitting in front of you, and we are sitting in front of him." "As a guru, Gurudev cannot fix himself. That is going against the laws... But our prayers and our love are the only things that can give him the strength." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
