Consciousness and Space
0:30 - 1:02 (32 min)
Consciousness and space are one living reality, without expansion or contraction. What appears as expansion is material. That consciousness is the Paramātmā, the single thread connecting all. We experience duality, but reality is unity, like beads on one string. Realization comes through practice like Kriyā. Our individual existence is like a drop from the ocean. Drops form clouds and fall as rain, flowing back to the ocean. Some return quickly; others take longer paths through rivers or stagnaion. All drops are destined to reunite. Our journey involves many births, but the goal is to return to the singular source.
"Eko'ham, dvitīyo nāsti." I am one. Rest is the duality.
"Śrī Guru Ātmā, Paramātmā... Sakal Jag ke Antaryāmī." The Guru, the Soul, the Supreme Soul... the Inner Ruler of all the world.

Hatha Yoga is in every kind of Yoga
1:10 - 1:33 (23 min)
Haṭha Yoga is the essential, foundational path encompassing all others.
You cannot proceed without Haṭha Yoga. Bhakti Yoga is also Haṭha Yoga inside, for you must maintain unwavering devotion despite emotional waves. Most devotion is selfish and unstable, rising and falling with desires. True devotion must grow constantly, like an airplane ascending smoothly from the runway. It is a test of purity and constancy. The story of the crow and swan illustrates this: the noisy, changeable crow represents fickle devotion, while the silent, soaring swan represents steady ascent. Real devotion requires a pure heart and readiness to surrender completely. The tale of the young girl Karmabai demonstrates this forceful love: she insisted the deity eat her offering, and through her unwavering conviction, it did. Karma Yoga is similarly challenging. Thus, all paths are included within Haṭha Yoga.
"Bhakti yoga cannot be successful without haṭha yoga. And then it must be what we call the real devotion."
"God needs that kind of love... it is the love that is the oneness."

Purify Yourselves
1:40 - 2:46 (66 min)
Creation originates from divine resonance, and purity is our essential calling.
All existence is constant change. The universe is a living movement. Within it, all 8.4 million life forms share one heart and soul: Śiva. He is Swayambhu, self-manifest. Creation emerged through the five elements and the principle of Nāda, the primordial resonance that permeates everything. This sound is the source; without it, nothing exists. We are born into an annamaya kośa, a body of nourishment from seeds, which are themselves of Śiva. The sun's core is not mere heat but Śiva's pure energy; its perceived heat is a reflection upon reaching us. This energy purifies. True immortality is beyond form, as in "nā tatra sūryo bhāti." A master's vibration transmits this energy to us, regardless of appearance. Our inner heat is vital for creation. When one falls into distress, like a pit, they must call out. Calling the divine name—like "Jai Rām"—is that call for help. Without it, no one comes. You must be awake, jāgratā. Humans must choose rightly. Other creatures eat according to their nature, but humans should know better. Eating meat aligns one with the tiger's nature, not the human potential for purity. The current global affliction is a consequence of impurity, particularly from consuming eggs and meat. Those practicing pure vegetarianism and yoga remain protected. Purify your body and nourishment. Do not fear; fear itself is debilitating. Have faith in the Guru and divine protection. Practice at home. Do not seek new teachers or create new books; the established path and scriptures are complete. Follow government guidance. Give generously to those in need; giving multiplies like a seed. Stay on the spiritual path, connected to the one Guru and the resonance of Śiva.
"Through the nāda only, creation whole. Otherwise, nothing."

Be healthy, be happy, be good
2:50 - 3:54 (64 min)
Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Szeged, Hungary. Either you use your time or you will lose it. We should clean the antahkaranas. Attachment is the cause of our problems. There are two things: hope and the desires. There are four ways we create karma. Don't leave your parents in the dying room where there is no hope. The first wealth is good health. Clean your body inside with proper food, practising asanas and pranayama. Do not go to restaurants too often. Vishwaguruji invites everyone to Sri Alakhpuriji's cave in the Himalayas.
Path to the meditation
4:00 - 5:07 (67 min)
True meditation is being within yourself, not outside.
Most meditation fails because thoughts go outward. People sit but think about business, family, or peaceful scenes like ocean waves. These are external. You are that which you wish to be, but reaching your inner self takes a very long time. At best, people are within themselves for less than a quarter minute. Thinking "I want to be within myself" is itself an outward thought. Meditation is not just sitting relaxed; you must go inward. Do not cause your body stress or pain; sit comfortably. There are three levels of being: jagratā (awake), suṣupti (sleeping), and svapna (dream). We inhabit different worlds in these states, as shown in a story where a farmer lives years in a dream minutes. To meditate truly, you must be with yourself, your body, your entire being. Sorrows are here; do not escape them by thinking outward in meditation. Learn to sleep with yogic awareness, called yoga nidrā. This is a peaceful state of oneness with yourself. Balance is key. Practice prāṇāyāma to purify the nāḍīs: start by inhaling and exhaling through only the left nostril for a month to cleanse. Do not mix techniques and become confused. The Sanskrit language, with its balanced effect on both brain hemispheres, aids this process. Our chakras, with their petals, represent our consciousness. Purify them through the nāḍīs.
"Everything is your eternal journey, but not one inch out of your body—and that is your body."

The aim of human life: Liberation
8:20 - 9:21 (61 min)
The eternal journey of the soul is our core inquiry. Ādi Śaṅkarācārya's essential question is "Who am I?" I am not this temporary body, which is composed of five elements. The soul enters mortal life through four paths: vegetation, microorganisms, egg-born creatures, and womb-born creatures like humans. This soul is on an endless journey, like a river flowing to the ocean, experiencing many lives based on karma. The human life is a critical opportunity. If we miss our righteous path, we go backwards; if we attain liberation, Mokṣa, we also return, as there is nothing higher. You are not merely eating and breeding; you have a higher purpose. Souls can be trapped, like a bird in a cage, by their own karma. Your spiritual presence here can help liberate such souls. In truth, there is no gender in the soul; non-duality is the ultimate reality. This body is an instrument for the soul. At death, the soul exits through specific channels; a yogi's soul departs through the crown. The journey continues.
"Who am I? I am not this body. The body is just a cover."
"The soul, with the soul which is in one, life enters. Now, endless journey, flowing and flowing."

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Zagreb, Croatia. Yoga is for the whole life. Guru is the navigator that leads us to our destination. Reading many books and practicing different technics keeps us on the path, but for reaching the aim we should follow the Alakhpuriji's Lineage, even in the next life. As birds find their nests at sunset, our roots are residing in this lineage. The Soul goes out of the body quickly, like the bird flies from the cave, or like the falling star is moving. Explanation of the prayer "Sri Guru Atma".
Blessings from the Kumbha Mela
10:45 - 11:55 (70 min)
A pilgrimage to the Kumbh Melā reveals divine connection through collective devotion and personal spiritual artistry.
A disciple shares her first experience at the Kumbh Melā, describing a profound and high-vibration procession with the Mahāmaṇḍaleśvaras, where she exchanged blessings and flowers with the crowds. She later felt the divine, feminine energy of the Gaṅgā River. Another disciple recounts the divine task of painting Ālakpurījī, guided entirely by the Guru's vision through every detail, which was a transformative experience that took her beyond worldly worries during its creation. A third speaker explains the Kumbh Melā's origin from the drops of nectar (Amṛta) that fell during the Samudra Manthan, making the rivers at four sites sacred. He emphasizes that the internal battle between divine and demonic qualities within us mirrors the Devas-Asuras conflict. Another reflects that while the Kumbh is a unique gathering of saints, the real, continuous Kumbh Melā is the ashram itself, where the Guru's presence channels the holy energy of the tradition. The teaching concludes that yoga is the singular science leading to God, purifying the soul beyond all religious distinctions, as everything is one in the divine.
"I had a moment to just walk out and grab the water in my hands and hold it to my heart and really feel such beautiful, divine, feminine energy."
"The biggest joy I had in my life is when I showed it to Viśva Gurujī, and he said that I am very, very close to it."

The Eternal Journey of the Soul
13:15 - 14:16 (61 min)
The eternal journey of the soul begins with the question: who am I? I am not the five elements nor the five sheaths that constitute the body. The soul is the eternal light, and these forms manifest because of it. The mind coordinates between the five senses of knowledge and the five senses of action, acting as a reflection of our deeds. Our accumulated good karma is like money saved, yet a single mistake can jeopardize it, requiring another birth. The soul enters the body through the navel's solar plexus, connected to the sun's sound of Aum. Its ultimate residence is a tiny light within the heart. Self-realization is knowing you are the pure soul, not these temporary layers. The practice of chanting connects you to this solar energy and guides the soul's journey.
"Ko’ham—who am I? I am not these five elements: space, fire, air, water, and earth."
"The soul, our light, our life, is coming and bringing us closer and closer."

The fire element
16:35 - 17:26 (51 min)
The fire element is crucial for spiritual and physical health. Fire represents both divine light and destructive forces within us. The light of wisdom brings peace, harmony, and positive thoughts, creating a beautiful spiritual atmosphere. Without this light, darkness and ignorance lead to depression and blaming others. Anger is a negative fire that burns consciousness, and modern burnout stems from this inner pressure. Various sacred fires exist: the crematorium's fire, the altar's divine light, and ceremonial fires for foundations, housewarmings, and marriages. These Agni rituals establish harmony; neglecting them invites discord. Digestive fire, jāṭharāgni, governs physical health and temperature. All illness begins in the elemental space. Maintaining the five elements through yogic principles is essential for good health, recognizing God in all things.
"Do not do any mistakes. For example, you drink poison and think, 'Afterwards, I will do good things.' But after this poison, it has killed you already."
"When you give a donation, it is not yours anymore. And if you give, and then you are giving some commentary, then you are giving good things, it is not anymore valid for your good."

Life is ever existing
17:30 - 18:21 (51 min)
Yoga is one union, and "Yoga in Daily Life" means practicing it every day. Hatha yoga signifies the joining of Ha and Tha, the left and right energies. There are three types of hatha: the stubborn will of a child, a woman, and a yogi. A true Hatha Yogi renounces everything with a singular determination to achieve God. A story tells of a man who desperately wanted to see God. He sought a yogi's advice and was told to go to a mountain peak. There, he fasted and waited, growing weak. A crow came and began to eat him. The man pleaded, "Eat all my body, but let my two eyes, because I want to see my God." The crow then revealed itself as God, rewarding the man's unwavering devotion. Such intense resolve is the essence of this spiritual hatha. Another devotee spent his life singing bhajans and was taken to heaven. The physical body is temporary and made of earth, but the prāṇa within is divine. Do not fear death, for the jīva, the life force, never dies. Live joyfully and think positively.

Mind and desires
18:55 - 19:47 (52 min)
A mantra is about controlling the restless mind and its desires to find liberation. The mind is like a football in a game; you cannot hold or control it. Desires are the ball itself. As long as desire exists, the mind cannot be focused or stilled. A story illustrates this: a shepherd, with a guru's guidance, controls a camel through gesture and suggestion, not a physical rope, showing how the mind can be bound by illusion. True freedom requires moving beyond hope and thirst, which are illusions like a mirage. The ultimate goal is knowledge that sees through these reflections. Liberation comes not from killing the body but from ending desire and hope within the mind.
"Man marā, nāmamātrī marī, mar mar gayā śarīr, aisā tṛṣṇā nahīṅ gaī, ghe gayā Dasā Kabīr."

The Guru is the Word.
The mantra given by the Guru is the seed planted within you. Do not look at the Guru's body, but at the sacred word. In this Kali Yuga, full of anger and disease, those practicing yoga and eating sattvic food remain healthy. Research confirms this science of yoga. Practice prāṇāyāma, āsana, and mantra. The mantra from your Guru is paramount. You may listen to all saints, but you have only one Guru, just as you have only one birth mother. That first mantra given is your foundation; do not accept another. All life emanates from the one divine source, like drops from a single ocean. Therefore, follow the Guru's word for liberation.
"Don't think of the body of the guru... but that mantra which is given by the guru is like a seed planted in your body."

Tratak and Tilak
21:50 - 22:52 (62 min)
Trāṭak is a concentration technique, and Tilak is a spiritual symbol of balance and wisdom.
Trāṭak means gazing steadily on one object, like a candle flame, the tip of a leaf, or the new moon. This practice develops concentration and inner purity, which is necessary for the sādhanā to be complete. It is a powerful part of Haṭha Yoga. Gazing at the rising sun for a few seconds is acceptable, but gazing too long is harmful, and the setting sun is said to draw energy away. The practice can lead to spiritual awakening and is linked to opening the Ājñā Chakra, which represents the light of inner wisdom, not a physical opening. Applying a Tilak on the forehead symbolizes this wisdom. It is made from substances like sandalwood paste or ash and creates a balance between the Iḍā and Piṅgalā energies. This balance is considered very important. The practice is not merely religious; it originates from Sanātana Dharma, which encompasses all of nature. The sun and moon are revered as vital sources of life. Trāṭak must be practiced with discipline and under guidance, as improper practice can be dangerous. It is a tool for focusing the mind, not for developing siddhis for misuse, though a true Haṭha Yogī may use such power when absolutely necessary. Ultimately, the goal is inner purity and balance.
"Until you have clarity and purity, your or our trāṭak sādhanā is not complete."
"If you put the Tilak here, it is a symbol of wisdom, the light."

Nada is the Sound
23:25 - 0:14 (49 min)
The Supreme is the primordial sound-form. The first reality was infinite space and silence, from which the first sound, Nāda, emerged. This sound is the essence of all creation, preceding even the deities. The number zero represents this eternal, formless source; from it, the nine digits cycle endlessly, mirroring the cycles of existence. This sound is not external but resides within all things—in seeds, leaves, and our own bodies. True consciousness, Chetana, is awake but without desire, unlike our human state. Creation unfolds from sound into light, then air, fire, and water, which together generate life. Our being is composed of five sheaths, from the physical to the intellectual, yet our core vitality is Prāṇa. Prāṇa is divine; it is life itself. Without it, energy departs. Water is also life, and thus divine. We must listen inwardly to understand this sound, which is the Supreme. Our practice, like Yoga Nidrā, leads us to perceive these truths directly.
"Without that sound, we cannot be."
"Prāṇa is God."
