The Satguru Chalīsā is a sacred text for meditation and crossing worldly existence. We worship the all-pervasive creator, the supreme incarnation. Without this grace, no one crosses the ocean of worldly life. All sages meditate upon this presence. Spiritual knowledge is given to the heart, resulting in fearlessness and the end of problems. Reading or listening to the Chalīsā brings concentration, ends the fear of birth and death, and grants prosperity and fulfillment. Life becomes perfect and suffering departs. The verses describe the merciful protector who uplifts all beings. Those who gain this vision are supremely fortunate and their wishes succeed. The guru is eternal and unequaled. Approaching the guru cleanses eons of misdeeds. The blessing itself is everything. "Without Your mercy, no one can cross the ocean of worldly existence." "Those who will have a darśan of you, Gurudev, they will be the greatest, and they will all the time have concentration and feeling for God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The science of yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness. Yoga is the eternal balancing principle in the universe, not a religion or dogma. The cosmic vibration, declared as OM, exists within and outside us. Human life is a precious chance within the cycle of rebirth. The human intellect can be trained endlessly, and dormant abilities within are connected to the cakras, or energy centers. The subtle body has 72,000 nāḍīs, or channels, for transmitting consciousness and energy. The mind functions between the subconscious and conscious, taking in impressions that become desires. The intellect's duty is to give judgment. We normally experience three levels of consciousness: waking, dream, and deep sleep. Past deeds create our destiny, or prārabdha karma. The Kuṇḍalinī energy and the cakra system are responsible for developing consciousness and freeing it from subconscious fears. The major nāḍīs are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā, balancing emotion and intellect. Haṭha Yoga unites these sympathetic and parasympathetic principles. The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process of becoming wise and calm, not a physical sensation. The cakras are located along the spinal column and are psychic energy centers. They are connected to the five elements and influence the body. Mastery leads towards liberation, the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. This requires lifelong practice and guidance. "Yoga is not a religion, it is not a philosophy, it is not a dogma, but it is the eternal principle in this universe." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process; you don't feel it as a physical sensation. You feel happy, as if in the lap of the mother." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia DVD 188

The Yoga in Daily Life program spreads widely through its intrinsic value. A key component is Sarvahitā Āsana, a set of exercises created collectively for universal benefit, suitable for all ages and capacities. This practice, alongside others like Bārikhātu Praṇām, serves as vital medicine for well-being. Consistent practice distinguishes the fit. Those engaged in jealousy and selfish gain are spiritually adrift and in peril. The community is a collective light in darkness, embodying divine grace. Focus must remain on satsaṅg, spiritual association, and divine connection, avoiding gossip and negative company. "Sarvahitā Āsana is very great." "You are all a light. In a dark night, even this one flame is there, and we all can walk by it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path to supreme consciousness requires strict discipline, as taught in Raja Yoga. Patañjali guides aspirants step by step, but the first condition is self-discipline. Without it, no practice leads to realization. The greatest obstacle is laziness, which must be conquered. Six inner enemies—desire, anger, pride, greed, delusion, and ego—hunt the aspirant like lions. One must not be a slave to desire. Therefore, ancient research began by controlling diet. Unnatural food creates anger, jealousy, and greed. A vegetarian diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fresh milk creates a pure, healthy body. Greed must be avoided; take only what you need. These dietary practices support meditation, which is the way to inner peace. Mantra repetition, received from a true master, is essential; it purifies consciousness. Use a mala for counting mantras, and practice with love and devotion. Fasting once a week develops discipline and purifies the body. For meditation, sit in a proper posture, use a mudra, and harmonize with your environment before beginning. "Without discipline, you will not reach your point of realization." "Meditation is the way to inner peace, the way to contentment, the way to happiness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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

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

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 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

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

A morning sādhana sequence integrates breath, movement, and awareness. Begin by warming the body with gentle stretches and deep breathing. Practice foundational āsanas like Pavanamuktāsana and Marjaryāsana to activate the spine and muscles. Flow through a warming sequence, coordinating each motion with inhalation and exhalation. Perform forward bends and backbends, focusing on alignment and the stretch without pain. Incorporate inverted postures to affect circulation and glands. Conclude with prāṇāyāma to regulate energy and a period of silent observation. The practice strengthens the body, deepens the breath, and calms the mind. "Marjaryāsana is a wonderful morning āsana, stretching your back muscles and activating your spine." "Observe your breath, and feel the effects of the āsanas." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

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

The awakening of contentment arises from purifying the heart chakra through practical yoga techniques. All phenomena contain three principles: resonance, light, and energy. When the Anāhata Chakra becomes pure, these three unite and material perception dissolves, revealing divine consciousness and unconditional compassion. This shift liberates one from karma. The initial awakening is Param Ānanda, supreme bliss, felt as subtle joy in the body. This bliss awakens inner resonance and the light of wisdom, leading to Śāntoṣa, the wealth of contentment. With contentment, one feels no lack; all external wealth becomes like dust. Happiness is needing nothing. The inner treasure of love and wisdom is already within; you are rich. A meditation technique purifies the body and awakens this state. Practice eleven cycles of Aśvinī Mudrā, then focus on ascending and descending breath, bodily expansion and contraction, inhaling cosmic light, and exhaling toxins. Finally, hold the body motionless and coordinate breath with the heart, using the mantra OM SO HAṂ to realize your divine essence. "When the Śāntoṣa appears in the heart, then automatically your partner will share this Śāntoṣa with you." "You cannot buy happiness, you cannot buy love, you cannot buy wisdom. Everything is within you." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The Supreme Reality is the form of sound, Nādarūpa Parabrahma. All existence emerges from this primal vibration. The universe itself is this sound. Our own essence is a resonance of it, which is also the Guru. This sound creates all form. We engage with this through practices like Brahmārī prāṇāyāma, which purifies one's energy over a lifetime. The vibration of Brahmārī is continuous, persisting through death and into different lives. Concurrently, one must walk the path of sādhana, or spiritual practice. This involves discernment between truth and untruth, and releasing worldly attachments. We collect many things, but at death, everything is lost. There is a cycle where beings consume each other, but humans should strive to break this through conscious practice. The goal is mokṣa, liberation from this cyclical existence. "From this sound, everything emerges, just as salt comes from the ocean." "Sādhana is not only money, clothes, house, and this. Similarly, purification for humans—we have to be very, very careful."

Discipline is the foundation of success in all aspects of life, from business to spiritual practice. A lack of ethical discipline caused the global financial crisis. Business requires supervision, but ineffective oversight creates loss, as shown when multiple supervisors consumed the milk they were meant to guard. Delegation without personal responsibility leads to systemic failure, like ice cream melting as it passes through many hands. Organize your daily schedule with discipline, allocating time for work, duties, and practice. The second principle is to calm the mind's fluctuations. Stress, which has no medicine, is managed through prayer, meditation, and yoga. Prayer involves surrendering to God, like a co-driver taking over. Meditation with mantra accesses peace. Yoga practice, performed slowly with awareness, is a cosmic dance that relieves stress. These practices purify consciousness and are essential for everyone.

Haṭha Yoga consists of six purification techniques, not merely postures. These kriyās use water, air, and fire to purify the physical body and the five kośas, allowing the inner light to shine. The goal is to balance the two main forces, Iḍā and Piṅgalā, uniting them in the ājñā cakra. Practical techniques begin with Jala Neti, using warm salt water to cleanse the nasal passages, followed by Kapālabhāti to energize and massage the brain. Vamana Dhauti purifies the stomach with salt water, while Agnisāra Kriyā and Nauli stoke the digestive fire. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana cleanses the entire intestinal tract. Trāṭaka, or steady gazing, develops one-pointed concentration. These practices refine the senses and build willpower, serving as a foundation for deeper meditation and self-realization. "Haṭha Yoga is actually these six specific techniques, performed to purify something within our body." "All these five kośas are to be purified and made crystal clear, so the light of the Ātmā shines through." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Swamiji in Sliac, 10th April 2007

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 Vajranāḍī is the foundational root from which life unfolds, like a tree dependent on its hidden roots. Shallow roots cannot withstand storms, while deep, searching roots ensure strength and sustenance. Destiny is written at birth by Vidhātā, an inescapable power. A story illustrates this: despite a king's efforts to arrange a grand marriage for his daughter, she ultimately weds a disabled street sweeper, fulfilling her written destiny. Just as a tree's roots blindly seek water, our lives follow a pre-written course. However, a true Guru possesses the power to alter this destined path. Our roots and spine are like the Vajranāḍī, with branches spreading through the body. "Destiny is in this pencil. I can only hold this, and it will write what comes out." "Destiny is very clear. It is like where you throw the stone, it will go there where it should go." Filming location: Khatu, Rajasthan, India

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

The nature of healing contrasts natural vitality with chemical intervention. The body is natural, while chemical medicines, though derived from earth, have altered qualities that mostly make it ill. They are vital for emergencies, yet their prolonged use destroys organs. Āyurveda is life, as body and system are both nature, but its efficacy has waned as society abandoned natural wisdom for chemicals. From birth, chemical adaptation begins. True health requires rejecting chemicals for natural substances and practices. The core practice is prāṇāyāma to purify the body and awaken energy. Kuṇḍalinī and the cakras represent this spiritual consciousness, with each cakra's petals holding specific energies for achievement. One must study this deeply and practice consistently without changing the path. "Chemical medicine can save our life or slowly kill us." "Āyurveda is life. The body accepts Āyurveda because Āyurveda is nature, and the body is nature." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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."

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."

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Nadlac, Romania.

Yoga is now widespread, but a misconception has arisen that it is only āsanas and prāṇāyāma. In focusing solely on these, many have lost sight of their true purpose, practicing something akin to acrobatics instead. This acrobatic display is not yoga. True yoga connects body, mind, and spirit to the cosmic. Many pursue acrobatics, with their activity containing perhaps only 25% yoga. Yoga comes from the yogīs, and the yogī is Śiva. We must recognize the foundation brought by great sages. To engage in real yogic practice, you must have your master, your yogic guru. Some now reject gurus, becoming disconnected from right principles. Our "Yoga in Daily Life" system offers a complete path, encompassing deeper spiritual knowledge and the grace of the Guru. Sādhanā, or practice, is everything in life. When you practice sādhanā in everything, you will attain liberation. We need the Guru's grace to progress. "Yoga is the science connecting the human being—body, mind, and spirit—to the cosmic." "Sādhanā means practice—various kinds of practice. Preparing food, cleaning your room, washing clothes, gardening—all this is sādhanā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
