Hatha Yoga is in every kind of Yoga
0:05 - 0:28 (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."

Consciousness and Space
0:35 - 1:07 (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.

Attachment towards God
2:40 - 3:24 (44 min)
True attachment is a spiritual oneness that lasts eternally.
We all have attachments. The great attachment is like a river flowing to the ocean, leading to positive thought and speech. Positive thinking within the family is crucial. Many marriages break, which is painful. Separation might seem easier, but one must consider the children. This attachment lasts until the grave and grows stronger, for parents are then within you. This dynamic exists between mother, father, and children. A pure, forever attachment to God is the right way. Remember your ancestors and heritage; this attachment may bring you back. Your love lives on in your children; you must protect it. Be together. If you cannot, remember you are human. Why marry or have children? People turn to substances because they have lost something. Our positive attachment is very important. We have attachment to God. We believe without seeing; it is a hope from cradle to grave. God is neutral. This attachment has pulled me here to see you all. What I teach is the endless universe. God is everywhere. Before other religions, there was only Sanātana Dharma, encompassing all life on earth. Those born from a womb are human, not immortal. You must have that tested attachment, which becomes one, like milk and water. Where are you looking for God? In your search, you will see. When purity is in our body, we are that God. Therefore, mother and father should not separate, or you will suffer the sorrow of the children in a future life. Do not say this is not yoga. Yoga means union; separation is its opposite. Husband and wife can become great, like a god. God is love, and love is God—it is of the heart and endless.
"If we can cultivate such an attachment, it leads to positive thinking and positive talking."
"Yoga means union, oneness. Separation means no yoga."

Path to the meditation
3:30 - 4:37 (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."

Blessings from the Kumbha Mela
4:45 - 5:55 (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."

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.

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 2 - Part 1
12:00 - 13:03 (63 min)
We proceed to level two of the Yoga in Daily Life system, engaging with real āsanas. The practice follows a structured sequence: starting position, movement into the pose, holding with normal breathing or returning on an exhale, and feeling the effect. We begin with relaxation in Ānanda Āsana, systematically releasing tension from toes to head. Breath awareness is central, as breathing is both an involuntary process and one that can be consciously guided. We practice the full yoga breath in three parts: abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular, combining it with movement. Several level-two āsanas are introduced. Śaśāṅkāsana improves head circulation and digestion. Meru Ākaraṇa Āsana stretches the trunk and improves balance, though it is not recommended for those with kidney stones. Bhūnamanā Āsana involves twisting the spine. Aśva Sanchalāsana strengthens the core but is contraindicated after abdominal surgery or during late pregnancy. Utthāna Prastha Āsana strengthens the back and abdomen from a prone position. Standing āsanas include Hasta Uttānāsana for shoulder relaxation and Utthita Lolāsana for stimulating energy, which is not for those with high blood pressure. Akaraṇa Dhanur Āsana opens the chest. The session concludes with prāṇāyāma, specifically alternate nostril breathing to balance energy and brain hemispheres, followed by relaxation and OṂ singing.
"Breathing is a natural process in your body which doesn’t require any of your will. But also, it is a process in your body which can be influenced by your will."
"Prāṇāyāma techniques balance the flow of energy in the body by influencing the flow of breath through the left and right nostrils."

Tratak and Tilak
14:50 - 15:52 (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."

Yoga comes from God Shiva
16:00 - 16:49 (49 min)
The five sheaths, from the physical to the blissful, reveal the nature of mind and consciousness. The physical body is the food sheath, annamaya kośa. Next is the vital energy sheath, prāṇamaya kośa, which is life and Paramātmā. The mental sheath, manomaya kośa, is the mind of highest speed, which can kill or elevate. Consciousness moves through three states: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Following the mental sheath is the intellectual sheath, vijñānamaya kośa. The final sheath is the blissful, ānandamaya kośa. Yoga is more than postures; it is the science given by Śiva. The mind is powerful, like a horse that can go anywhere instantly. Our desires and attachments persist even in dreams, showing the mind's activity. We must be vigilant, as negligence allows suffering, like a hidden snake, to strike.
"Man maraṇa mamatā mari marmar gayā śarīra. Asa triṣṇā nai mari, keh gayā Kabīra."

The Eternal Journey of the Soul
16:55 - 17:56 (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.

The fire element
18:00 - 18:51 (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."

The aim of human life: Liberation
18:55 - 19:56 (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."

Life is ever existing
20:00 - 20:51 (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.

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Singing bhajans. Yoga is the science of humans. God gave us everything. Many people in many countries gave up eating meat and follow a vegan diet. We should not kill animals and take away honey from bees, milch from cows. Eating meat leads to suffering, instead of doing that help and protect the animals. Yoga is for all, and not only for the body.
Mind and desires
22:00 - 22:52 (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."

23:00 - 23:05 (5 min)
Yoga is offered as a sanctuary within a large music festival. For eleven years, we provide a daily practice, showing festival-goers how to relax deeply. Many newcomers try yoga here for the first time. We adapt to the fast-paced environment by offering 20-25 minute sessions tailored to individual requests for rest, asana, or meditation. Initial interest often comes from seeing dynamic asana practice. We always begin with simple, grounding exercises, not advanced postures. We emphasize preserving the tradition's purity and spirituality, contrasting with the popular strength-based styles. Our presence in this community space is essential, as many might not seek out a dedicated center. People practice even amidst loud music, achieving a withdrawal of the senses. This demonstrates that deep relaxation is possible anywhere.
"Based on this, our prepared yoga instructors tailor the session accordingly."
"The astonishing experience we have is that at most they achieve pratyāhāra, the withdrawal of the senses, so that they are absolutely undisturbed by what is happening outside."

The Path of Yoga for Universal Peace
23:10 - 23:33 (23 min)
Yoga is the universal manual for achieving peace. It is not merely physical exercise but a holistic practice integrating emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions to connect the individual with society and nature. Lasting peace has not been found through material wealth, political systems, or other philosophies. The foundational principle is ahiṃsā, non-violence. Yoga transcends religion, harmonizing the core self-knowledge found in all major faiths. To create global peace, we must transform ourselves first. This inner change then demands outward action: we must advocate for governments to invest in yoga education and studios instead of military and harmful industries, and to send yogis as ambassadors of peace alongside traditional diplomats. Personal practice cultivates positivity, making negative habits fall away naturally. By dedicating time to this practice, we utilize our human potential, share peace freely, and make the world one family.
"Yoga is less than 30% physical; it is more than that—it is emotional, mental, and spiritual."
"Ahiṃsā paramo dharma—non-violence is the supreme duty."
