Bhramari practising and meditation
0:40 - 1:07 (27 min)
Recorded on
Brahmārī prāṇāyāma creates resonance for harmonizing the nervous system. This vibration improves thinking, feeling, and concentration, serving as a primary technique for many. It releases daily tensions, bringing peaceful harmony and relaxation. The practice involves specific hand placements, with lips closed and jaw released. One method uses thumbs to close the ears; another places palms over ears with fingers at the skull's base. Gentle rhythmic motion opens resonance through the brain, benefiting the forehead and relieving headaches. It aids those with sleep issues, promoting deep relaxation. Practice for a maximum of four rounds, ideally three times, followed by meditation to carry the resonance inward. Focus within, allowing the vibration to flow through the heart and chakras. "Prāṇāyāma and Brahmārī vibrate the entire nervous system, and thanks to this resonance, our thinking and feeling improve." "This opens the resonance through the whole brain, and it comes beautifully to the forehead." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Worldly joy is just an illusion
2:40 - 3:50 (70 min)
Recorded on
The essence of spiritual longing is the heart's suffering for the Divine. This viraha is not negative but a profound belonging to God and the Guru. Worldly pleasures are a poisonous mirage of ego and pride, ultimately unreal and unattainable. The joy they promise is less than the sorrow they bring. Therefore, turn your back on this illusory world and face the reality of the Master. Satsang is the tree of immortality. The human body and its faculties will one day refuse service, lamenting their misuse for selfish pursuits instead of sacred purpose. This worldly garden will dry up. The only true pilgrimage is to be where the saint is, for the sole aim is to realize God. Through the Guru's grace, the soul realizes immortal peace. "The joy of the joy is less than the sorrow of the joy." "This beautiful human life—who knows if we will get it again." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
There is God in your instruments
3:55 - 4:35 (40 min)
Recorded on
The human life is for spiritual practice to realize the divine within. Practice brings harmony to the family and peace to the individual. Perform daily rituals, remember the divine name, and live with gratitude. This life may be the final opportunity to complete one's purpose and attain the supreme. Many techniques exist, but disciplined practice is essential. Do not teach a method until you have fully mastered and experienced its results yourself. True mastery comes from dedicated practice over time, where the practitioner becomes an instrument of a higher power. The path of sound, like in Brahmari Pranayama, holds immense power to connect with the ultimate reality. "God is within your heart. The most important thing is to perform sādhanā." "First, you should understand, then practice the technique exactly, and learn it yourself first." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The reflection of the Self
4:40 - 5:52 (72 min)
Recorded on
The light of the Self is realized through grace and alert practice. Time is a human construct; only the Supreme is unchanging. We are bound in saṃsāra, coming and going due to karma. The body is a temporary bag discarded at death, but the soul remains. Do not depend on others for your spiritual work; you must eat the food yourself. Holy books and teachings are like injections of wisdom to awaken us. Practice sādhanā and ātmācintan—thinking deeply on the Self. This reflection, or 'chilka', of consciousness is glimpsed through repetition like in bhajan. Remain alert and awakened, using tools like the mālā to maintain this awareness. The five sheaths of the body are temporary; you are not these layers. The soul is one in all. Do not become overly attached to worldly life and sorrow. The work is to realize and spread this inner light. "Guru Kripa Hi Kevalam." "Don't depend on someone to do it for you." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
What does Holiness mean
6:00 - 7:07 (67 min)
Recorded on
Life is a spiritual education guided by a greater plan, not by our own designs. We are not the bosses of our life but artists in a divine play, receiving roles for this lifetime. We are one family moving through lives and places, developing spiritually. Education has two wings: material knowledge for living in the world and spiritual knowledge concerning our origin, purpose, and aim. With only one, we are a bird that cannot fly. The arrival of a great saint brought spiritual guidance, changing everything. This guidance manifests in communities, like the growth of vegetarianism and yoga centers. There are no coincidences; even childhood inclinations align with later spiritual work. When we listen to the Guru's guidance, we are steered past life's obstacles. Our relationship with the Guru is paramount. He gives completely, living for others, which is holiness. Our spiritual practice involves giving—knowledge, service, kindness—which in turn brings growth. The purpose of all yoga activity is spiritual growth, achieved through mindfulness of our inner thoughts and actions. We are to walk step by step, holding the hand of the Master, who leads us to our destination. "Life is education." "If we get only one education and not both, we are like a bird with only one wing. We cannot fly." Filming location: Kranj, Slovenia
Vajra nadi and vajrasana
7:15 - 8:06 (51 min)
Recorded on
Vajrāsana is a posture of profound spiritual and physiological significance. It activates the Vajranāḍī, a channel connected between the big toe and second toe, calming mental modifications and aiding mastery over desires. This posture collects and concentrates energy toward one's aim, which is why it is used in prayer within Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism, and as a sign of respect in cultures like Japan. Physiologically, it straightens the spinal column automatically, relaxing the diaphragm and improving oxygen intake. It balances the Maṇipūra and Anāhata chakras, aiding digestion, heart function, and circulation. Regular practice can alleviate constipation, leg cramps, headaches, and support the immune system. It is advised to sit in Vajrāsana after meals and before practices like Kathā Praṇām. Those with ankle or knee problems should use modifications. "Vajrāsana makes the heart and mind clear." "Sit in Vajrāsana for a few minutes, and you will become very fresh." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Do not kill
8:10 - 9:20 (70 min)
Recorded on
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." "All beings are individual yet part of a unified whole, like drops from one ocean." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (1/9)
12:00 - 13:37 (97 min)
Recorded on
A guided practice integrating meditation, yoga, and prāṇāyāma to cultivate awareness and inner harmony. Begin by relaxing the body and mind, aligning the posture. Follow the breath, using the mantra "So Ham" to synchronize with the inhalation and exhalation. Feel prāṇa entering and tensions releasing. Center awareness in the heart space, feeling it expand and relax, allowing peace and love to spread. After meditation, proceed to physical practice. Perform warm-up exercises and āsanas like Daṇḍāsana, focusing on straight posture and coordinated breathing. Practice sequences for the arms, shoulders, and feet with conscious movement. Advance to postures such as Marjari Āsana and Meruākaraṇāsana, maintaining balance and breathing deeply. Conclude with Kathā Praṇām and prāṇāyāma, specifically Nāḍī Śodhana, to purify the energy channels. Always maintain a straight back, relax the abdomen, and coordinate movement with breath. Finish by chanting Oṁ and grounding the awareness. "Feel how with every inhale you are taking in prāṇa, how your consciousness is becoming brighter and brighter, happier and more relaxed." "Keep your back straight and go down only to the level which your muscles can hold with your back straight." Filming location: Umag, Croatia
The sound of Bhramari is always with us
13:45 - 14:30 (45 min)
Recorded on
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."

Live natural life
14:35 - 15:17 (42 min)
Recorded on
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
Everything is within ourselves
15:25 - 16:02 (37 min)
Recorded on
Awakening arises from within, yet guidance reveals it. Practice is the inner science, not external. Many remain asleep within the body. A teacher awakens this latent knowledge. All potential exists within the human form, but mastery requires time and instruction. For instance, one may possess a flute, but only a master's breath produces music. Similarly, learning to drive requires a teacher's guidance before one can drive alone with confidence. True mastery demands constant alertness to all directions, both in driving and in yoga. The practice involves awakening the five sheaths of the body. One may practice even between sleep and waking, as sound and vibration resonate through the entire being. "The yogīs said you have everything here on the earth, in this whole globe, in the space above, and further." "Awakening is within our self, but that someone informed us."

There is only one Life
16:10 - 17:36 (86 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is life, encompassing all beings. The human form is a rare gift with a special duty. God grants freedom, but actions carry consequences: good deeds lead to the divine, and bad deeds lead to suffering. The five sheaths, or kośas, constitute our being. The physical body, Annamaya Kośa, depends on pure nourishment. The energy body, Prāṇamaya Kośa, is vitalized by this food. The mental body, Manomaya Kośa, must be controlled to avoid suffering, as illustrated by the disciple who became a crow. The intellectual sheath, Vijñānamaya Kośa, should be used wisely, not for destruction. The bliss sheath, Ānandamaya Kośa, leads toward liberation. Practice is essential; Self-realization is a gradual gift. A guide is necessary in all aspects of life. The technique of Kriyā Yoga uses sound vibration from the navel to purify these layers. Daily practice is the path. "One in all and all in one. We are all one life." "Yoga is not only this physical body... health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health."

The Roots of Destiny and the Vajranāḍī
17:40 - 18:28 (48 min)
Recorded on
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 friendship brings us together
19:20 - 20:11 (51 min)
Recorded on
Maintain cultural and spiritual harmony through yoga and compassion. Cultural festivals should be preserved and celebrated to educate future generations. All religions contain harmony, but politics often creates conflict. Brotherhood must be created globally, respecting all faiths without negative influence. Yoga serves two aims: ensuring good health to reduce aggression and awakening inner peace. Harmony and love naturally arise in a spiritual community, not through force or transaction. True giving benefits the giver without loss, fostering positive karma. Spiritual figures often faced hardship, reminding us to see the divine in everyone and cultivate good qualities. "Yoga has two aims. That is the science of body, mind, and soul. Yoga is for good health." "Give or not, but you take all the karmas of that poor person, that will reflect on us."

Feel the confidence and God will help
20:15 - 21:01 (46 min)
Recorded on
Confidence is the thread that holds our spiritual life together. Begin and end each day by turning inward, surrendering all actions to the divine. This surrender brings peace and freedom from fear, for one knows the indwelling Self can never be taken away. Confidence is not a fleeting emotion but a state of oneness, like milk and water merging. All activities are like beads on a fragile thread; without the knot of confidence, the thread breaks. All beings are sustained by one God, just as all citizens belong to one country and all raindrops return to the ocean. Disputes arise from duality, forgetting that all is one. The practice of faith, like the prostration in prayer, allows one to see the unseen reality. "Anyone can take from my hands, but not from my jīvā, my ātmā." "Eko brahma dvitīya nāsti: one Brahman, there is no second." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Bhramari practising and meditation
21:05 - 21:32 (27 min)
Recorded on
Brahmārī prāṇāyāma creates resonance for harmonizing the nervous system. This vibration improves thinking, feeling, and concentration, serving as a primary technique for many. It releases daily tensions, bringing peaceful harmony and relaxation. The practice involves specific hand placements, with lips closed and jaw released. One method uses thumbs to close the ears; another places palms over ears with fingers at the skull's base. Gentle rhythmic motion opens resonance through the brain, benefiting the forehead and relieving headaches. It aids those with sleep issues, promoting deep relaxation. Practice for a maximum of four rounds, ideally three times, followed by meditation to carry the resonance inward. Focus within, allowing the vibration to flow through the heart and chakras.

Anahata chakra
21:40 - 22:26 (46 min)
Recorded on
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

Believe
23:50 - 1:09 (79 min)
Recorded on
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
