True spiritual practice transcends superstition and external rituals. Monday is Śiva's day, a day for fasting. Each weekday connects to a planetary influence. While cosmic influences hold some truth, they are not ultimate. Sages may have created systems like astrology to control unruly human nature, prescribing rituals as a calming injection. Do not be enslaved by predictions or fear of bad constellations. Control the planets of your own senses and ambition. Many promise miracles or liberation through expensive techniques, but these are often deceptions like staged levitation. Liberation requires purifying the inner instrument: be humble, pure, and free from jealousy and slander. Do not judge others, for to label another bad first requires the thought of bad within yourself. Practice sincerely without running after masters. Self-Realization is not guaranteed by any person; it is determined at life's final moment. Be normal, purify desires, and love all. "Control the planet of your indriyas, your senses. Control your ambition." "Who has never done some mistake or sin? That one should send, throw the first stone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Summer 2003. in India with presentation of Yoga In Daily Life projects and Swamijis lecture

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

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

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

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

The light of the Supreme Self illuminates all. The Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna is a practice from the tradition involving 64 kriyās. All action is kriyā. The human instrument possesses five senses of knowledge and five of action. These senses provide information from the world. Every element, including plants and water, possesses life and awareness. The body is a composite of many living cells and the five elemental sheaths. The conscious self is felt within the heart center. The individual soul, or Jīvātmā, resides within yet is distinct from these layers. One is not a singular entity but a collective of countless lives. The soul is like a queen bee; if it departs, the entire hive is abandoned. All beings are individual yet part of a unified whole, like drops from one ocean. The practice involves silence, minimal nourishment, and meditation to turn awareness inward. Do not harm any life. Attaining supreme knowledge while living risks ego. True union occurs near life's end. Therefore, practice diligently without haste or force. "One is not a singular entity but a collective of countless lives."

A guided practice of meditation, yoga, and pranayama. Chant Om to begin. Withdraw awareness inside, focusing on the body's stillness, each breath, and the mantra. Be present. Feel the heart center and repeat the mantra there, feeling the presence and love of the guide. Let thoughts come and go. Divine light radiates from the heart throughout the inner space and beyond. Chant Om to conclude the meditation. Practice yoga asanas starting from a relaxed position. Perform Marjari asana and its variations for spinal health. Execute breathing exercises with specific ratios. Practice Bhuñamānāsana to benefit the spine and discs. Observe the flow of prana from the manipura chakra throughout the entire body. Conclude with Nāḍī Śodhana pranayama, focusing on deep, soundless, and relaxed breath with awareness of each inhalation and exhalation. The exhalation should be longer. Observe the breath without influencing it, feeling peace and harmony. Chant Om three times to end. "Be present here and now. Do not go away with your thoughts." "Feel each inhalation and exhalation. Awareness of every inhale and exhale." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

All paths and practices ultimately converge into a single essence. Many engage in various spiritual exercises, yet remain like isolated drops of water, taking a long time to reach the ocean. Personal effort alone is insufficient; the essential practice is prayer. While many teach and give to others, this outward focus can hinder inner development. True progress requires turning inward, as exemplified by those who retreat into solitude. The culmination is reaching the divine feet through a simple, heartfelt repetition of a holy name. This practice channels energy and leads to liberation, becoming the sole truth at life's end. "All your bhajans, all your exercises, whatever you do, is in oneness." "Rāma nāma, the name of God, Rāma. 'Rāma nāma sathe'—this name is the truth." 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

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 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

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 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 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 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 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."

Spirituality is the essence of joy and oneness. It arises from the harmonious union of fundamental principles within nature. The earth provides a maternal foundation, while a paternal energy of light and life animates existence. This union represents the divine source. True spirituality manifests as purity, humbleness, kindness, and peace. Its absence is marked by conflict and suffering, as seen in fractured relationships. We often seek joy externally, yet authentic spiritual joy is found only within. It is the inner state cultivated through harmonious understanding. "Spirituality: purity and humbleness, kindness, peace, understanding, oneness." "Spirituality is what we call the joy. Joy is only within ourselves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

First Vishwagurujis visit to Romania.

A new ashram opens to teach the universal path of yoga, a science of body, mind, and soul for inner peace and health. This place was prepared over many years by volunteers spreading authentic yoga, not as a business. Yoga is an ancient universal science of balance and harmony originating with Śiva, beyond any single religion. It is a tool for modern life, where one must find willpower and time for practice amidst societal haste. The practice requires careful, daily effort without competition, adaptable for all ages and conditions. Its ultimate aim is to realize one's relation with the Supreme, fostering health, peace, and universal brotherhood. The future depends on educating children in this spiritual knowledge. "Yoga is universal. So I see your centers... as centers of universal brotherhood." "Yoga means balance, harmony, and unity." Filming location: Slovenia
