Hatha Yoga is in every kind of Yoga
0:20 - 0:43 (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."

Shiva will bless All
0:50 - 1:13 (23 min)
The call to Śiva is the essential refuge in the Kali Yuga. This age brings severe hardships, disease, and natural disasters. For those who are taught, there is a path to the cosmic Śiva. Many saints exist, but Śiva's blessing is universal and non-exclusive. Unlike other forces that may reject people, Śiva embraces all, like a parent calming arguing children, unifying all religions and people. In this difficult time, one must remember Śiva constantly, whose presence is global. The current crises, like the pandemic, highlight the need for true devotion to the Guru's grace, which is found inwardly, beyond external forms. Human life is immensely precious and fleeting; time, like an airplane, never returns. Do not waste this rare opportunity. The core instruction is to hold to Śiva and the Guru's grace now.
"Śiva said, 'All of you are very good. Let it be.'"
"Human life in this world is very, very precious. If you do not understand and you lose it, then it is mūrak. You have no knowledge."

Self is happiness
1:15 - 1:53 (38 min)
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect.
"If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere."
"The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision."

The aim of human life: Liberation
2:00 - 3:01 (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."

Be healthy, be happy, be good
3:35 - 4:39 (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
4:45 - 5:52 (67 min)
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."

Blessings from the Kumbha Mela
10:45 - 11:55 (70 min)
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."

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 1 - Part 5
12:00 - 13:06 (66 min)
Welcome to the practice of Yoga in Daily Life, a complete system for health and spiritual development.
This system originates from an authentic Himalayan lineage. It is presented in a book of eight levels, each containing physical, breathing, and mental exercises, including purification techniques and meditation. A core principle is Karma Yoga, the practice of selfless service and love for all beings. The practice also advocates a vegetarian lifestyle. Today's session continues from Level One. The practice integrates postures, breath control, and deep relaxation to harmonize body and mind.
"The light and teaching of this yoga science passed through an authentic and uninterrupted stream of wisdom."
"Prāṇāyāma not only influences the physical body but also the brain centres, balancing both hemispheres to regain the harmony that is the aim of a yoga life."

Yoga comes from God Shiva
13:10 - 13:59 (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 fire element
14:05 - 14:56 (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
15:00 - 15:51 (51 min)
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."

Consciousness and Space
16:25 - 16:57 (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.

Attachment towards God
17:05 - 17:49 (44 min)
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."

20:00 - 20:46 (46 min)
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.

The Eternal Journey of the Soul
21:55 - 22:56 (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.
"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."

A Message of Peace from Prague
23:00 - 23:07 (7 min)
The key to our future is universal unity and peace. I witnessed this spirit in a crowded square where people of all languages smiled together, a vision for our world. Achieving this requires not just public desire but political will. Prague has a historical legacy of promoting peace, from medieval delegations to modern nuclear agreements. Our world faces civil wars, climate change, and threats from weapons and terrorism. I work with parliamentary networks seeking pledges from nations to not be first to use and to reduce nuclear arsenals, aiming to lower global risk. Support these efforts. True peace begins within each person.

The Means Are the End: On Non-Violence, Patience, and Peace
23:15 - 23:29 (14 min)
The means are the end; the purity of the instrument determines the outcome.
Life initially teaches non-violence through powerlessness, when a violent response is impossible. Yet true understanding comes with maturity. Society focuses on ends, neglecting means. This creates fundamental questions: can war bring peace or violence bring justice? The answer is no. Wrong means always yield wrong ends, for the means become the end. A seed becomes the tree. Hatred breeds hatred; violence breeds violence. Only non-violence, born from compassion, breeds compassion. Some claim wrong means bring wealth and power, while right means bring struggle. But happiness is a peaceful mind. Those using right means possess this peace and live in the present. Those using wrong means have disturbed minds, living in past or future. To follow non-violence requires immense patience and faith. It is a slow, complete cure like Ayurveda, healing from within like yoga.
"There are countless reasons for which I can give my life, but for no reason can I kill a person."
