Yoga is a science for human well-being. Observing practitioners during the pandemic revealed that those maintaining a vegetarian lifestyle within a specific community were largely unaffected, unlike many general yoga practitioners. This points to lifestyle's role in health. Yoga's techniques, like Brahmari Prāṇāyāma, are often derived from nature. This practice uses a humming breath to create internal vibrations, addressing issues like headaches and tension. It requires correct posture and breath from the navel. Practice is foundational, but yoga extends beyond physical techniques to a deeper connection within. The true guide removes obstacles, allowing inner potential to unfold, and does not claim the role of doer. "Those who were not eating eggs, meat, alcohol, drugs, etc., they were not affected." "Brahmari Prāṇāyāma affects the whole body. The inner vibration can restore the health of the body itself." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The onset of a powerful Kali Yuga brings global suffering, primarily due to human actions. Humans torture and consume other creatures, causing widespread disease and imbalance. This pandemic particularly affects those who are not sattvic. The entire Earth, our mother, is suffering from human cruelty and chemical interference. In this age, the guidance of the true Guru is essential to dispel darkness. The Guru paramparā originates from the divine. All who teach us good are gurus, leading us from ignorance to light. Sattvic living and practice provide protection and clarity. "Humans are torturing all other creatures, animals; it is unbelievable." "Guru is the one who brings out the light from the darkness."

The human path integrates family, culture, and daily spiritual practice. Recent times brought families physically together, revealing a prior separation as children moved away for study and work, leading to a loss of cultural continuity. Modern life further separates parents from children, who are often left in others' care. One parent should be present to impart culture and religion. The family home should be peaceful, without conflict or harmful habits. The pandemic reinforced being together, though it brought hardship. It is a time to maintain cultural and religious practices. Yoga in Daily Life teaches a pure, vegetarian lifestyle, which is the science of being human. To be a yogi is to first be human. The daily practice begins upon waking: acknowledge being human, honor the earth and your mother, and use water reverently as it is life and divine. Greet others with sacred recognition. Your workplace is also a family. Live as a lamp for your family. A true guru guides the soul to the cosmic self, beyond mere skill instruction. Holy figures should be respected in complete form. "Yoga is the science of the human being. To a yogī, that is it. You are a yogī. If you want to become a yogī, you have to become a human." "Water is life... water is God. We should not destroy water or spill it here and there." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

The coronavirus is like a serpent that approaches softly as we rest, its poison potent even when we feel safe. Our vigilance must remain. The human being is composed of five sheaths. The physical body is the food sheath, annamaya kośa. Next is the vital energy sheath, prāṇamaya kośa, which is life itself and Paramātmā. Then comes the mental sheath, manomaya kośa. The mind moves at the highest speed; it can bind us or take us to the cosmic. This is followed by the intellectual sheath, vijñānamaya kośa, and the bliss sheath, ānandamaya kośa. We exist in three states: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Yoga is the science given for realizing this, extending beyond postures to practices like brahmari prāṇāyāma. Maintain your practice and discipline. "The mind can kill us, or the mind can bring us to the cosmic." "Yoga is that Śiva, and that Śiva brings that." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A pilgrimage reveals the divine within and around us. A journey to the Kumbh Melā offers a profound experience of high vibration and collective spirituality. Witnessing the procession of saints and connecting with thousands of devotees creates a beautiful exchange of energy and blessings. Bathing in the Gaṅgā River allows one to feel its divine, feminine energy. The event symbolizes the eternal churning within, the struggle between divine and base qualities, from which the nectar of immortality emerged. True pilgrimage, however, is found at the Guru's feet, where the real Gaṅgā of blessing flows. The ashram itself becomes the real Kumbh Melā, a concentrated field of grace from the Guru lineage. "It was very, very beautiful, very high vibration, very colorful—so many people." "The real Kumbh Melā happens actually here in this very āśrama... All that energy... is channeled within this only place here." Filming location: Maha Kumbha Mela, India

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 ashram lives through the gathered devotees and the guidance of the master. We gather for retreat and sādhanā, utilizing this precious time. The mind must surrender its own will to consciousness. The master reveals the secret of the ātmā, the source of indescribable happiness beyond worldly pleasure. To realize the inner Self requires withdrawing from worldly drama. The master showers the bliss of the lineage upon all, making devotees independent and free. This yoga path is a sure way, unique for its living master and paramparā. The highest knowledge is given where there is devotion. True devotion, which removes all fear, is the mark of a real human. The master's protection is absolute for the sincere bhakta. "Give up your own will, your own itch." "Come with me, and I will show you the secret of your ātmā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Satsaṅg and disciplined living are foundations for spiritual and physical well-being. An eight-month Anuṣṭhāna was completed, a period of residence with daily satsaṅg and spiritual practice. This occurred at a Sattva āśram, a pure place established for decades where many have come to practice. The holiness originates from ancient spiritual lineage. Satsaṅg is the gathering of truth with spiritual companions, fostering happiness. Historical guidance from masters emphasizes simple, disciplined living. This includes dietary discipline: eat only when truly hungry, avoid tea and coffee, and consume pure foods. Modern habits of constant eating and improper foods lead to illness. True health comes from eating moderately, drinking water, and leaving space in the stomach. Practice silence, maintain personal space in communal living, and focus on spiritual practice. The recent global situation, while difficult, allowed for sustained spiritual focus and family connection at home. Ultimately, cultivate a life free from anger and negativity through disciplined practice and satsaṅg. "Without bhakti, without satsaṅg, one feels a little bit alone." "Eat half, drink one quarter water, and leave the other quarter empty. Then our health will be the best." Filming location: Bari Khatu, Rajasthan, India

Troubles always have been. We have to learn how to continue our daily life when things will happen. Remain untouched like a lotus flower. You have first to project the negative in your heart then you will see negative Which kind of glasses you have, that color you will see outside. Create within you positive feelings. Our duty should be to bring peace, love and unity into the humans, nature, animals and anywhere. Then we can live in peace. If you have peace in yourself you will find peace in all Ghandiji said: There is no way to peace, peace is the way. At the end Swamiji is leading a meditation. Recorded in Vancouver, Cananda.

A morning yoga practice guides the body and breath toward relaxation and awareness. Begin by lying down, consciously relaxing each part of the body from the toes to the head. Observe the natural breath, then consciously deepen it into a full yogic wave moving from abdomen to chest. Coordinate simple stretches with inhalation and exhalation, feeling tension and release. Progress through poses that stretch the spine diagonally and twist it, always keeping the lower back close to the floor. Move into seated postures for flexion and extension of the spine, coordinating each movement with the breath. Conclude with deep relaxation, breath awareness, and a simple prāṇāyāma technique. "Feel your body becoming heavier with each exhalation." "Harmonize your movement with your breath." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Haṭha Yoga's essence is the six purification techniques, or Ṣaṭkarma, for cleansing the body and balancing energy. Our polluted modern environment necessitates these natural cleansings using water, salt, and air. These practices purify the physical system and uniquely influence the vegetative nervous system, which is typically beyond our control. The goal is to balance the Iḍā and Piṅgalā energy channels, allowing the central Suṣumnā to flow. This mastery brings many benefits, fostering willpower and overcoming inertia. Regular purification, especially during seasonal changes, removes metabolic waste that causes illness and stagnation, keeping energy flowing. Specific techniques like Netī cleanse the nasal passages, while Agni Sāra and Naulī stoke the digestive fire. These are potent tools that require proper guidance from an experienced teacher regarding the correct method and timing. "Haṭha Yoga is not only that we clean and purify our whole system, our whole body, but it also has a great, very great effect on our nervous system, especially the vegetative nervous system." "When they are balanced, then the third one, the Suṣumnā Nāḍī, will start to flow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The spiritual lineage connects devotees to an ancient source of grace. A disciple met the master as a baby and received lifelong blessings, countering predictions of a short life and lack of education or wealth. The lineage extends back seven generations through the family. The source of the teachings is the immortal master Alakpuriji, who dwells in the Himalayas. Such perfected beings exist in subtle, causal bodies beyond the material world, serving as protectors. They can be perceived by pure hearts, as seen in lights over glaciers. The path requires sacrifice of attachment to enter the divine kingdom, as demonstrated by Yudhiṣṭhira's loyalty. The goal is liberation through this spotless, indescribable grace. "Tell me when you’re ready to leave this earth to come, I’ll call you." "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." Filming location: USA

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

A heart's plea for grace to make life meaningful and for transformation into a selfless lover. The mind does not know what to do, creating nothing of its own. Life is spent in worldly attachments, day and night seeking personal gain, enduring sorrow for pleasure. The plea is for such compassion that life is not known as useless. The mind has tried many things but has built nothing of its own. The call is to become a selfless lover, a brother to the world, with the heart filled with all beings. The aspiration is to be made into a knower of bliss. "He na te ab to aisī dayā ho, jīvan nirarthak jāne na pāyī." "Apne ku niṣkām premi banāu, ko chāu pāu sansār kā bhāī."

The essence of devotion to the spiritual teacher is total surrender and attentive receptivity. A true disciple absorbs every word from the teacher, considering each a divine nectar essential for growth. Questioning the teacher's actions is forbidden, as illustrated by the story of the guru saving a scorpion despite being bitten; each being follows its nature, and the guru follows the dharma of compassion. Even divine incarnations required a teacher, underscoring that a life is incomplete without one. The teacher's grace is everything; without it, the disciple is like a pot with a hole, unable to retain the knowledge being poured in. True devotion is rare, often corrupted by worldly desires for succession or property, not by genuine sorrow at the teacher's passing. The prescribed ritual for the holy day involves fasting, offering items like sandalwood and a garland filled with devotion, washing the teacher's feet, and performing full prostration to seek blessings and forgiveness. "Guru Kripa hi kevalam, śiṣya ke ānanda maṅgalam." "The scorpion's dharma was to bite; my dharma was to save it." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Guru, mantra, and spiritual practice are essential in Kali Yuga. This age is marked by anger and disease globally. Those following a sattvic diet and yoga practice remained healthy, as research shows. The science of yoga provides protection. Mantra practice is paramount, and the mantra given by one's Guru is fundamental. The Guru's word is the true essence, not the physical form. One must not seek a second initiating guru, though one may listen to all saints. All life originates from the same source, like drops from one ocean. Spiritual progress requires meditation, mantra, and adherence to the Guru's word. "Only one guru you have, your guru." "Do not think of the body of the guru... that mantra which is given by the guru is like a seed planted in your body." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

True attachment is the oneness that lasts until eternity, like a river flowing to the ocean. Positive attachment within a family is the goal. Marital separation is painful and disregards the children, who carry the union of father and mother within them. This loving attachment must be protected; to break it is to act beneath human dignity. Such failure often leads to seeking solace in substances. Our pure, eternal attachment should be to God, whom we believe in but have not seen. God is neutral and formless, yet perceived everywhere, as in ancient stones or mountains. All existence stems from one Sanātana Dharma, encompassing all elements and life. True seekers find God within themselves through purity. Do not separate the family unit, for that is the opposite of yoga, which means union. The love between husband and wife can become divine.
