Hatha Yoga is in every kind of Yoga
0:25 - 0:48 (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
Practice yoga like a cosmic dance
0:50 - 1:14 (24 min)

Wellness is achieved through sattvic living and non-violence, beginning with non-violence towards oneself. Illness often stems from violating natural laws, particularly in diet. We must eat to live for perfect health, not live merely to eat. Ancient wisdom prescribes mantras to purify our atmosphere and bless our food, cultivating sattvic quality. Āyurveda and Yoga are the two wings for a healthy life, guided by three principles: sattvic (pure), rajasic (aggressive), and tamasic (dull). Tamasic quality includes laziness, old food, alcohol, and misused spices, which poison the body and breed disease. Sattvic food—like milk, nuts, and fresh vegetables—creates happiness and balance. True wellness extends beyond diet to include movement like gentle yoga, positive thinking, and a harmonious lifestyle. Excessive bodybuilding or advanced postures driven by ego becomes rajasic and harmful. We must remember our human purpose: to protect, love, and forgive. Our food directly shapes our body, mind, and health; therefore, we must choose fresh, organic nourishment. Ultimately, a life of non-violence, positive thought, and sattvic practice leads to health, happiness, and liberation. "Violence is against wellness, and wellness is not violence." "As is our food, so will be our body." Filming location: Czech Republic

Path to the meditation
2:30 - 3:37 (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."

The aim of human life: Liberation
3:45 - 4:46 (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

Blessings from the Kumbha Mela
9:30 - 10:40 (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

Yoga comes from God Shiva
14:15 - 15:04 (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

Love animals, vegetation and Earth
16:10 - 16:56 (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 Eternal Journey of the Soul
18:05 - 19:06 (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

If we practice we can reach our aim quickly or we can fall if we are not practicing. In the body, we can work to reach the Supreme.

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
Consciousness and Space
21:10 - 21:42 (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

We should not have duality
22:50 - 23:01 (11 min)
Recorded on
The eternal guru lineage is the living presence of God across all ages. I returned after extensive travel. Our gatherings here varied in size according to regulations. The teachings focus on the paramparā, the eternal succession from age to age. Within this, there are two manifestations. One is the singular incarnation of God for a time. The other is the continuous manifestation of the saint, the Guru Bhagat. I do not claim special status; that is for the end of my life. There are many gurus, not just one. Every saint in every place is God-sent. We have one God, and the second God is our mother and father, through whom God brings humans. Therefore, gurus are as numerous as parents. We respect all children as our own, yet only one is our biological mother. Similarly, the soul is one but takes different forms. Other religions are good, but they lack a living God—a continuous presence. Once they had a God, but who gives to us now? We must understand this without duality. God is everywhere. "One, as God, what we call, is once in that time. But how will we do? How will they live? So, therefore, the second is called the saint." "other religions are also very good, but they have no God. Not living God. Once they have a God, and that's all." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Around The World - Vegetarianism and top sport, Part 3

Recorded on
We prepare two distinct meals for athletes. The first is whole wheat pasta with sauce and a green salad for endurance. The second is vegetables with fava beans and tofu for muscle building. Both include a milkshake. For athletes, avoid sugar; use raisins or dried fruit. Use minimal water and oil. Start cooking harder vegetables first. Season lightly with Himalayan salt, tamari, and spices like cumin and turmeric for digestion. Add leafy herbs at the end to preserve aroma. The milkshake combines nuts, cottage cheese, milk, and natural sweeteners. It serves as a protein-rich energy source. Brewer's yeast can be added for B12. "A key principle in cooking is to never use too much water." "Sports food should not be overly spiced or heavily fried, but it should not be tasteless either." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia
Attachment towards God
23:30 - 0:14 (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."
