Renounce and enjoy
0:15 - 1:11 (56 min)
Human life is given to be above everything. What you see in others is a reflection of your own inner qualities. You were born with nothing; all possessions and relationships are temporarily given and will be taken. Your destiny is shaped by past karma. Negative qualities like jealousy are a fire that burns across many lives. What you give returns to you a thousandfold. To enter the kingdom of the Lord, you must sacrifice your inner feelings, especially negative ones. True renunciation is letting go of what disturbs you in others. Self-realization means seeing the one ātmā in all. Repair your life by developing equal vision and loving all.
"Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice."
"Be the change you want to see."

Hatha yoga kriyas
0:30 - 1:55 (85 min)
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."

The reflection of the Self
1:55 - 3:07 (72 min)
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.

There is God in your instruments
3:15 - 3:55 (40 min)
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.

Practising bhramari pranayama techniques
4:00 - 4:40 (40 min)
Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma is a practice for balance and deep release from tension.
We have focused on this practice. Several techniques are given. One uses the index fingers with elbows at shoulder height. Another involves thumbs in the ears with fingers on the temples. The teeth are either pressed together or kept relaxed. The vibration travels from the throat, behind the palate, and out through both nostrils. This resonance balances the flow in both channels. Practice for a short duration, just three repetitions. It releases the day's accumulated tension, leading to lightness in the head and improved sleep. The aim is to achieve an even vibration across both hemispheres of the head. Do not over-practice. The state achieved should be neither loose nor tense, like a properly adjusted mechanism.
"The vibration comes to the nostrils. The resonance comes to the throat, immediately goes above, and from there inside, the sound comes back to our nose."
"This practice gives a very, very deep release. Sleep well, and you will have good dreams."

The reality is within you
4:45 - 5:22 (37 min)
The spiritual path requires unwavering discipline and grace, not transient seeking. A governor prioritized a blessing over lunch, knowing his breath was uncertain. This illustrates that spiritual practice must never be missed. Many seek quick liberation, but this yields nothing. True yoga is a complete human science, not merely physical postures. Success comes from steadfast practice and the grace of one guru, akin to having only one mother and father. Spiritual realization ends criticism; we respect all paths, understanding the oneness of all beings like drops returning to the ocean. Discipline is essential, especially within family life. Practice without competition, according to your capacity. The soul is like a flame; we must protect and nurture this inner light, as it alone continues beyond the body. Authentic teachings, like unchanged bhajans, guide us. Work inwardly, for external attachments are fleeting. Practice sincerely within your own faith, fostering peace and inner awareness.

Protect Yourself, Keep Discipline

Morning Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Try to eat organic food, as far as possible. The main problem in the world is pollution. It is very hard to protect ourselves. Human life is an opportunity, it is not certain that you will get it again.
Consciousness and Space
6:10 - 6:42 (32 min)
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.

There is only one Life
6:50 - 8:16 (86 min)
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."

Worldly joy is just an illusion
8:20 - 9:30 (70 min)
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."

Devotion to Gurudev
10:55 - 11:52 (57 min)
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 Practice and Significance of Brahmari Prānāyāma
13:15 - 14:07 (52 min)
Brahmari Prānāyāma is a profound practice for inner balance and sound vibration.
This practice involves specific techniques with the lips closed. First, place index fingers gently in the ears with teeth together. A second technique relaxes the teeth slightly apart. The sound and vibration originate from the navel and permeate the head. Sit straight in Vajrāsana or with a straight spine on a chair. The practice balances the body's energy and chakras. It draws awareness inward, away from external sounds. Share these techniques freely for well-being.
"Observe from which direction this sound travels."

Tratak and Tilak
14:55 - 15:57 (62 min)
Trāṭak is concentration through gazing. Tilak is a mark of spiritual balance and wisdom.
Trāṭak involves fixing the gaze on a single point, such as a candle flame, a dot, or the new moon. This practice develops concentration and inner clarity. Gazing directly at the sun should be brief to avoid harm. The true inner light is not a visual phenomenon but the light of wisdom at the Ājñā Chakra. Applying a Tilak at this point symbolizes this wisdom. The Tilak, made from substances like sandalwood paste or ash, helps balance the body's energy channels. It is a spiritual practice, not merely a religious ritual. This balance is part of the eternal natural order. Without discipline and a qualified guide, forceful practice can be dangerous. The power of focused gaze is real, but it must be used with purity and care.
"Trāṭak means we gaze on one object."
"Tilak is very, very important and very spiritual."

Feel the confidence and God will help
18:25 - 19:11 (46 min)
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.

We should control ourselves
19:15 - 20:07 (52 min)
Yoga encompasses many paths, not merely postures or breath. The desire to practice must arise from within, never from force. God grants immense knowledge and freedom to choose, yet certain boundaries exist. Choosing negativity leads one away; choosing goodness aligns with the cosmic. Many yogis have researched inner techniques, all aiming for the same center despite different approaches. The practice of Brahmari Prāṇāyāma is a powerful technique for the brain, promoting coolness and resonance. It draws from natural sounds, like those in water or wind, and from observing creatures like bees and termites. This practice influences the subtle nerve system, offering potential relief. Always consult a doctor for serious conditions and let personal feeling guide your practice.
"God said, 'I give you everything. You should know good or bad.' Yet, which path you take is your power."

A universal prayer and the practice of Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma are offered for global peace and spiritual unity. The world faces widespread difficulty, yet all paths lead to the supreme cosmic Self. Yoga is an ancient science beyond physical exercise, encompassing the divine soul. Humanity must remember its shared origin, like a single seed that becomes a tree with many identical fruits. Modernity has lost this natural continuity, reflecting the discord of the present age. The solution is to turn inward, for the entire cosmos exists within the human body. The practice of Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma is a specific technique to harmonize internal energies. It is named for the bee and involves creating a humming sound to purify internal channels and quiet the mind. This practice can alleviate internal sounds and headaches, guiding one toward inner peace.

Do something good
21:15 - 22:00 (45 min)
The human journey is a progression toward cosmic consciousness, a long path where each step is significant. All creatures strive to reach the human stage, which is a fortunate birth. The unique human gift is the capacity for complex language and a developed brain, a cosmos within which divinity can be found. However, this potential is locked when misused. The mind holds immense power; it can instantly create destruction or cultivate goodness. Desires persist even as the body perishes, binding one to the cycle of rebirth. Humans must use their gifts rightly, avoiding harm to other creatures and purifying their inner thoughts.

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.

The Human Path: Family, Culture, and Daily Yoga
23:30 - 0:21 (51 min)
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."
