Hatha Yoga is in every kind of Yoga
0:40 - 1:03 (23 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

International projects address crises like water scarcity and education for the poor. The work is rooted in principles of peace, tolerance, and interfaith dialogue. Lasting peace requires compassion, respect for all cultures, and recognition of our interconnectedness. "War arises out of greed for power or difference in religious beliefs. But no matter on what side of the wall someone dies, remember that a member of our human society has lost their life." "Peace requires peace within the human heart. Peace also requires compassion, a sense of connectedness with other humans and with other species." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Path to the meditation
8:20 - 9:27 (67 min)
Recorded on
True meditation is the journey within, not an external projection. Most meditation involves thoughts going outward, about life or guided imagery. This is not being within oneself. People are truly within themselves for mere seconds. Thinking about being within immediately takes you outside. Even focusing on the body's comfort or discomfort means you are outside it. The goal is to go inward. There are three states of being: the awakened state, the deep sleep state, and the dream state. We must learn to enter a state of conscious, yogic sleep. This brings awareness into the body. To meditate, one must first purify the energy channels through dedicated, singular practice of prāṇāyāma, balancing the breath through the nostrils. This balances the brain. The body's chakras, connected to these channels, must be purified. The aim is to bring the entire being into a balanced, aware unity within. "Everything is your eternal journey, but not one inch out of your body—and that is your body." "If you have thoughts for outside... then our meditation is not a meditation."

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.
Blessings from the Kumbha Mela
10:45 - 11:55 (70 min)
Recorded on
A pilgrimage reveals the divine within and around us. A devotee shares her first experience at the Kumbh Melā, describing a profound and high-vibration procession with the Mahāmaṇḍaleśvaras. She sat in a decorated wagon, exchanged flowers and blessings with the crowds, and felt a deep connection. The following day, she entered the Gaṅgā River, feeling its divine feminine energy. Another disciple recounts being entrusted with early preparations for the Melā, organizing meetings and participating in the sacred Peshwāī procession. A third explains the Melā's origin from the drops of nectar that fell during the Samudra Manthan, symbolizing the inner battle between divine and demonic qualities. An artist describes the blessed task of painting Ālakpurījī, guided entirely by the Guru's vision through every detail. The real Kumbh Melā is found in the Guru's presence and the ashram, where the Gaṅgā of blessings flows. Yoga is the science leading to God, a unifying path beyond all religions. "The real Kumbh Melā happens actually here in this very ashram." "Yoga is the path to God." Filming location: Maha Kumbha Mela, India

Tratak and Tilak
13:10 - 14:12 (62 min)
Recorded on
Trāṭak is concentration through gazing to achieve purity and clarity. This Haṭha Yoga technique involves focusing on a single object like a flame, the moon, or a dot. It develops inner wisdom, which is the true opening of the third eye, not a physical event. The practice is powerful and must be done with discipline under guidance to avoid danger. Applying a Tilak on the forehead symbolizes this inner light of wisdom. It represents balance between the Ida and Pingala nadis and is a spiritual act, not merely religious. True spirituality, or Sanātana Dharma, recognizes the divine unity in all existence, like the sun which sustains all life. This practice requires purity, a good master, and careful application. "Trāṭak means we gaze on one object." "Opening the third eye is wisdom; it is knowledge that is the light of wisdom inside." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The fire element
16:25 - 17:16 (51 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: UK
Life is ever existing
17:20 - 18:11 (51 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the singular union of daily practice and spiritual quest. The term "Yoga in Daily Life" signifies practice integrated into every day. Hatha yoga represents the union of the left and right energies, the sun and moon within. There are three types of determined will: the stubborn will of a child, the will of a woman, and the unyielding will of a yogi. A true Hatha Yogi possesses an unwavering resolve to achieve the divine, renouncing all else. A seeker longed only to see God, enduring great hardship on a mountain. Tested by a crow that was actually God in disguise, the seeker's ultimate devotion was proven by his request to keep his eyes to behold the divine. Such single-pointed determination is the essence of spiritual practice. Mere routine prayer or meditation, filled with distraction, lacks this power. The physical body is temporary, but the prana, the vital life force, is divine. The immortal soul never dies. "Eat all my body, but let my two eyes, because I want to see my God, my love." "You should know we will never die. The jīva will never die." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Yoga comes from God Shiva
18:15 - 19:04 (49 min)
Recorded on
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." "Jāgrata, suṣupta, and svapna. We are in these three points." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Attachment towards God
19:10 - 19:54 (44 min)
Recorded on
True attachment is a spiritual force leading to oneness. It is not a worldly bond to be discarded but the eternal flow of a river to the ocean. This positive attachment within a family is crucial; separation causes deep sorrow, especially for children. Such a bond should last a lifetime and beyond, becoming stronger after death. This principle mirrors the soul's attachment to God—a hopeful search without physical sight, for God may appear in any form. True union is yoga; separation is its absence. Cultivate the attachment that unites, like milk and water, making all one. "Positive thinking within the whole family is crucial." "Yoga means union, oneness. Separation means no yoga."

The Eternal Journey of the Soul
20:00 - 21:01 (61 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: London, UK
Love animals, vegetation and Earth
21:05 - 21:51 (46 min)
Recorded on
The world is suffering in a powerful phase of Kali Yuga, marked by widespread disease and environmental harm caused by human actions. Humans torture and consume animals, disrupting natural harmony and inviting suffering upon all creatures. The current global pandemic reflects this imbalance. A sattvic, compassionate lifestyle aligned with yoga and non-violence offers protection and health, as seen in practitioners who renounce meat and harm. However, those in close contact with illness, even if virtuous, may still be affected. The essence of Sanatana Dharma, which is universal goodness, has been lost to modern divisions and materialism. The Guru is the light that removes darkness, encompassing all who teach, from parents to spiritual masters. We must respect all life and the Earth itself. "Humans are torturing all other creatures, animals; it is unbelievable." "In Kali Yuga, all jīvas—jalchar, thalchar, nabachar—all are suffering, mostly because of humans."

The aim of human life: Liberation
21:55 - 22:56 (61 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: London, UK

Around the world - World peace in your hands
23:15 - 23:18 (3 min)
Recorded on
Peace is in your hands, and inner peace is the foundation for world peace. A practical yoga system was created to address modern life's problems, now practiced globally. This system is an accredited university course and a tool for hospital rehabilitation. The organization is a UN-affiliated non-profit working for human rights, environmental protection, and universal welfare. Humanitarian projects include a large educational institute in India shaped like the Om symbol, a school for handicapped children, and a planned hospital. In drought areas, it provides free fire services and a rainwater harvesting initiative. The founder has initiated international peace summits and a world peace forum, promoting interfaith dialogue for decades. His efforts have been recognized with awards from global leaders for advancing citizens' holistic health. The core message is that personal transformation is essential for global change. "All elements are balanced in a perfect way, and that balancing principle, that is what I call yoga." "Be the change you want to see."
Consciousness and Space
23:25 - 23:57 (32 min)
Recorded on
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. Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
