The path of Saṅkalpa requires pure intention, for a wish born from harming others fails and accrues karma, demanding return. Kalpa signifies vast cycles of time within which the soul wanders, though in truth, time is a product of movement within consciousness. Realization is to unite with the cosmic self, beyond time and space. The vessel of the heart determines what one can receive; doubt yields little, while purity receives much. Śiva is the most merciful, forgiving all mistakes of devotees who approach with sincere prayer, as shown to the hunter who showed compassion. The sacred mantra is the key offering. "Before we take a firm determination, one should think through whether one is hurting someone else. Otherwise, your Saṅkalpa will not be successful." "I will be the most gracious and merciful to all my devotees. It doesn't matter what mistake they have done. I will forgive everything." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The Kali Yuga presents a severe trial, demanding unity. A time of great calamity approaches, with disasters, disease, and agricultural ruin. Yet, a path exists for those with correct knowledge to merge with the cosmic Śiva. Śiva's nature is universally compassionate, embracing all people and religions without exclusion, unlike other forces that may discriminate. Śiva's blessing is the paramount solution. The precious human birth is easily squandered without understanding. Time, once lost, never returns. Therefore, one must remember Śiva constantly through repetition of His names, cultivating real devotion to the inner Gurudeva, who appears in many forms beyond external designations. This devotion is the essential grace. "Śiva said, 'All of you are very good. Let be.'" "Human life in this world is very, very precious. If you do not understand and you lose it, then you have no knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The essence of devotion is the continuous flow of consciousness toward the divine feet. All Vedas and scriptures ultimately speak only of that Name. The Guru is the boat to cross the ocean of illusion. The Lord, an ocean of grace, takes human form for the sake of the world. He is the cause of the individual soul, the Lord who is the ultimate cause. Seek refuge through song and praise. "All Vedas and scriptures ultimately speak only of that Name." "The Guru is the boat to cross the ocean of illusion." Filming location: Haridwar, India

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Khatu, Rajasthan, India. Shiva is the creator as well as the liberator; he is the merciful one.

The resonance of Aum is the primordial technique to connect awareness with Cosmic Consciousness. This sound pervades the universe and awakens Śiva. A protocol exists for divine invocation, beginning with Gaṇeśa to remove obstacles, ensuring the success of subsequent worship. The essence of Śivarātri is the transition from darkness to light, facilitated by this universal resonance. Creation emerges from the interplay of space and consciousness, united by energy whose movement is the sound Aum. This resonance triggers illumination, manifesting as Śiva, the self-born source. The practice is a science of union, directing inner awareness toward that infinite light within. "Scientists at NASA researched the sound in the universe and within the sun itself. I have a CD of this sound, and it is very clearly Oṁ." "Between these two, space and consciousness, where the energy begins, there is a kind of movement, and that is called resonance. That resonance is called nāda. That is Nāda Yoga, sound. And that nāda is a universal nāda which is called Aum." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

This sacred island is the ancient abode of Bhagavān Śiva, his consort Pārvatī, and Nandī. A mountain here holds the complete form of the Divine Mother, visible from the airport. At its peak is a pure lake, like Mānasarovara, from which flows water bottled and sold globally as Fiji Water. Upon a large rock near this lake is the Swayambhū footprint of Lord Sadāśiva. On another part of the island, in Lambasa, a sacred black stone representing a śāstra nāga grew despite attempts to contain it, leading to the construction of the Nāg Mandir. This land is uniquely blessed, free from dangerous animals and abundant with food and water year-round, a protection linked to its sacred geography. "At the peak of that mountain, there is a beautiful lake, akin to Mānasarovara near Kailāśa mountain. The water of that lake is utterly pure, without pollution." "Fiji is the only country in the world without any dangerous animals, reptiles, or spiders. You can sleep anywhere outside without worry." Filming location: Fiji Islands

Śivarātri is a night when Lord Śiva is approachable for prayers and blessings. This gathering celebrates that divine proximity. Śiva is the unborn, ultimate truth and universal consciousness from which all creation arises. He is the source of sound and light, represented by Oṁ. The Śiva Liṅga symbolizes the round, entire universe. The individual soul, Jīva, is a drop that ultimately merges into the ocean of Śiva. Spiritual practice requires single-pointed focus; attempting many paths leads nowhere. Discipline in fasting and practice is essential, with no compromise. While uncertainty and pain in life are inevitable, worrying and suffering are optional. Do not dwell on the past or fear the future; work with confidence in the present. "Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional." "If you hold to one thing, you will master everything. If you try to do a little here and a little there, you will lose everything." Filming locations: Vienna, Austria.

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."

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

Miracles arise from faith and the Guru's grace. A disciple's infant was declared terminally ill with non-functioning kidneys. A specific mantra was given and practiced with the laying on of hands; the child recovered fully and later had her own children. Her brother was also revived from a state declared lifeless by doctors. In the lineage, a farmer's wife placed her dead child under the Guru's bed, pleading for life. The child was restored. Another master caused birds killed for food to fly back to life. These events demonstrate the power inherent in the tradition. Faith is essential. One may claim disbelief, but in extremity, all call out. Trust must be complete, like a climber asked to let go while hanging from a cliff. Different names exist, but God is one. Practice the given techniques with devotion. "After 10 days, the parents went to the hospital again to check. And the doctor said, 'What happened?'" "God said, 'Do you trust in me?' 'Yes, I trust in you.' Then God said, 'Will you do what I tell you?' 'Yes.' 'Then release your hands.'" Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

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.

The Himalayan cave is a site of spiritual austerity and inner transformation. The physical cave is small, requiring one to bow to enter, symbolizing surrender. Its narrow passages were designed for protection, teaching that the heart must not become narrow but expand with joy. The surrounding glaciers and the powerful Alaknandā river embody the elemental principles where fire and water are interdependent. Meditating there, one hears the river's sound and experiences a profound environment where ṛṣis in astral bodies remain unseen. The journey demands inner strength, not physical comforts, and reveals that true sustenance comes from internal spiritual joy, not external sources. This inner development, like generating one's own oxygen, allows one to traverse the terrain. The path is a gradual spiritual ascent, merging the individual into cosmic oneness, where every cell becomes divine. The story of a ṛṣi who wished to finish all Vedas before death illustrates that divine knowledge is as vast as the Himalayas; one must ultimately surrender to the infinite. Spiritual practice is the inner alchemy of purifying the heart, grinding away the ego to reveal the innate nectar and light within, which is our true nature. "The cold becomes hot. That’s why the fire cannot remain without water. And water cannot remain without fire." "Can you count how many grains of sand are in your palm?... This is only a little dust of the Himalaya, but the whole Himalaya is there with us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We practice Vajrāsana and Vīrāsana for the nāḍī systems. Vajrāsana activates the Vajra Nāḍī, which begins between the big and second toe, connects to the base of the spine, and guides energy to the navel. Sitting in it after eating aids digestion and can help with constipation by relaxing the stomach and straightening the spine. It also balances the sciatic nerve. Vīrāsana, the hero's posture, involves sitting on the heels with toes standing. It warms the body, increases alertness, and with practice, can help repair digestion and headaches. These postures strengthen the lower centers and foot soles, which connect to the body's organs. They develop leg strength, balance, and concentration. Practice must be held steadily to awaken the nerves. "This Vajrāsana is designed especially to strengthen or to activate that Vajra Nāḍī." "This will repair our digestion. This will repair our headache problems, also many, many things." Filming location: USA

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Yoga retreat in Dungog, Australia. There are 64 different kinds of kriyas but it was chosen only a few of them for Yoga in Daily Life. The teaching of the Masters says that the quality of the Jivatama, Atma and Paramatma is the same. That called non-duality, Advaita. Practicing Asanas.

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

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

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

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

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 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

Consciousness and space are one living reality. Space does not expand or contract, for it is limitless. Consciousness is the life of space, present within all. This consciousness is the Paramātmā, the singular supreme Self. The apparent many are like beads on a single thread, connected by the one Ātmā. Realized saints express this truth in their bhajans, which contain the essence of all wisdom. The individual self, or Jīvā, is ultimately this one consciousness, appearing as many through duality. All forms are like drops from one ocean, destined to merge back into the whole. Our journey is to realize this unity. "Eko’ham, dvitīyo nāsti." I am one. The rest is duality. "Śrī Guru Ātmā Paramātmā." The Guru, the Self, and the Supreme Self are one. Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

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. "Yoga means one, and separated means no yoga." "Where are you searching? You are with me." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

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

World peace is in our hands. Our world is increasingly turbulent and ambiguous, requiring more than linear answers. We must create resilient societies focused on shared peace and well-being. A world without peace, equitable wealth distribution, and planetary care will not survive. Achieving these goals requires every individual to become a responsible, active global citizen. My country is designing a new societal vision with its citizens, integrating this into our strategic development. We are committed to being a responsible global actor by implementing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. This includes striving for poverty eradication, gender equality, human rights, and environmental protection at all levels. Peace requires good intentions, cooperation, and inner balance. The best way to achieve that inner coherence is through yoga. Ultimately, our collective action determines our future. "A world without peace will not survive. A world without distributing wealth will not survive." "I think we all know the answer: yoga is the answer." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

Vegetarian athletes discuss overcoming cultural skepticism to achieve high performance through plant-based diets. Initial motivations differ, with one citing yoga's ethical principle of non-violence and the other seeking a competitive edge in sports. Both faced doubt, especially regarding protein for muscle development or endurance. They explain that plant foods provide all necessary nutrients, but require specific knowledge to combine ingredients like legumes and grains for complete proteins. The environment presents a mental barrier, with a prevailing belief that meat is essential for strength, which they counter with personal results. Diet is highly tailored to their sports: bodybuilding focuses on muscle mass, while endurance sports like triathlon prioritize efficient energy use and recovery. They emphasize mindful eating, noting how food affects acidity, energy, and digestion during training. Discipline and listening to the body are crucial, as is the mindset that transforms training into a joyful, inspired practice beyond mere competition. "Vegetarian nutrition was simply a continuation. That ethical aspect of vegetarianism, non-violence, developed later." "People have a kind of sneer, like, 'No, well, look, after all, if you are vegetarian, then you won’t be able to reach that level.'" Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia
