Everything is within ourselves
0:30 - 1:07 (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."

Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Meditation is the way to activate the hidden powers in humans that are dormant.

Self is happiness
1:15 - 1:53 (38 min)
Recorded on
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect. "If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere." "The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 155b
The Practice and Significance of Brahmari Prānāyāma
2:00 - 2:52 (52 min)
Recorded on
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." "The sound originates from the navel." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
We should control ourselves
3:00 - 3:52 (52 min)
Recorded on
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." "Brahmari is very powerful, very good for everyone to live like that... These techniques ensure our brain is nice and cool." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Gurudev is the servant of everyone
4:00 - 4:48 (48 min)
Recorded on
Humility recognizes divine provision over personal pride. God feeds all creatures, from the elephant to the ant. Human effort is acknowledged, but the source is divine. Spiritual practice requires full immersion in the guru's grace, like entering an ocean, not merely testing the water. Jealousy and separation hinder this unity. The inner science of yoga involves knowing the body's subtle systems, such as the 72,000 nerves, and purifying the mind from negativity. Liberation is rooted in the guru's grace, with meditation, worship, and mantra centered upon the guru. "Do not be proud that you feed everyone. No. It is God. He feeds everyone, from the elephant to the ant." "Liberation has its root in the guru's grace. Otherwise, you may go to this yogi and that yogi, running here and there like a lost deer."

Practising bhramari pranayama techniques
4:55 - 5:35 (40 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Bhramari pranayama can help against many problems
5:40 - 6:19 (39 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. In reality, yoga is one but it has many branches and names. Yogis usually gave the names of animals to the positures because they don't want to come back to the world in the body of that animal. There are also many kinds of kriyas, Some of them are hatha yoga kriyas. There is a big misunderstanding in the western world about hatha yoga. Vajra nadi controls our all nerve systems. Practise every day and go step by step. Pranayama has also many technics. Breathing is happening also towards our skin. The story about a France king and girls covered with gold. Explanation and demonstration of one kind of Bhramari pranayama.
The reality is within you
6:25 - 7:02 (37 min)
Recorded on
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. "Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam. As long as you have the mercy, the Kṛpā, of Gurudeva, you will be on the good path." "One in all and all in one." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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
8:35 - 9:07 (32 min)
Recorded on
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
Bhramari and bhramari pranayama
9:15 - 9:47 (32 min)
Recorded on
Brahmari Pranayama balances the nervous system and refines the voice. This practice is derived from the bee known as Brahmari. The female bee constructs a nest with intricate passages. She captures a specific worm and places it inside. She nourishes it until it develops wings and emerges as a new bee. The yogic practice mimics this process of internal transformation through sound. One method involves gently biting the teeth together. This directs resonance to the temples, balancing the Ida and Pingala nerve channels. It alleviates certain tensions and improves speech. Another method keeps the lips closed but the teeth apart. This directs energy upward toward the crown chakras. Both techniques significantly benefit singers and speakers by refining vocal quality and release. Practice should be avoided during an active headache. "The sound goes from our ears and comes back here to the temple area." "This prāṇāyāma balances both nerve systems, Iḍā and Piṅgalā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Szeged, Hungary. Either you use your time or you will lose it. We should clean the antahkaranas. Attachment is the cause of our problems. There are two things: hope and the desires. There are four ways we create karma. Don't leave your parents in the dying room where there is no hope. The first wealth is good health. Clean your body inside with proper food, practising asanas and pranayama. Do not go to restaurants too often. Vishwaguruji invites everyone to Sri Alakhpuriji's cave in the Himalayas.

Tratak and Tilak
13:50 - 14:52 (62 min)
Recorded on
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."

Around The World - Vegetarianism and top sport, Part 1
15:00 - 15:24 (24 min)
Recorded on
Vegetarian nutrition fully supports elite athletic performance. A vegetarian diet based on non-injury provides complete nourishment. Properly prepared, it offers all necessary energy without burdening the body. The foundation is high-quality, organic ingredients. Whole grains like pasta provide sustained energy from complex carbohydrates. Tofu and legumes supply easily digestible protein for muscle development. Spices are essential medicines that enhance flavor, aid digestion, and improve nutrient absorption. Creativity in combining these elements is vital. Dairy products and healthy fats like olive oil and ghee complete the nutritional profile. This approach ensures athletes receive all required proteins, vitamins, and minerals. "Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties; from some studies, it seems to be one of the most potent anticancer agents." "Spices are truly medicines. Each spice has such a wide range of effects that simply by taking them, we can not only maintain our health but also significantly improve it." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia
Around The World - Vegetarianism and top sport, Part 2
15:30 - 16:03 (33 min)
Recorded on
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

We prepare two distinct meals for athletes. The first is whole wheat pasta with sauce and a green salad for endurance. The second is vegetables with fava beans and tofu for muscle building. Both include a milkshake. For athletes, avoid sugar; use raisins or dried fruit. Use minimal water and oil. Start cooking harder vegetables first. Season lightly with Himalayan salt, tamari, and spices like cumin and turmeric for digestion. Add leafy herbs at the end to preserve aroma. The milkshake combines nuts, cottage cheese, milk, and natural sweeteners. It serves as a protein-rich energy source. Brewer's yeast can be added for B12. "A key principle in cooking is to never use too much water." "Sports food should not be overly spiced or heavily fried, but it should not be tasteless either." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Health is founded on home, nourishment, and aligning with natural cycles. Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Every illness is connected to the psyche. Food supports healing, but the root spiritual cause must be addressed. Nature offers daily and yearly cycles with building and eliminating phases. Utilize the elimination periods for cleansing. Obesity stems from a nutrient deficiency, often a lack of love. Institutional support is needed for mothers to be home, cook daily, and provide nourishment. Home-cooked meals, however simple, create vitality and a lasting foundation. Children who eat at home develop a guiding sense for what their body needs. "Obesity is a lack of love."

The Ānandamaya Kośa represents the sheath of bliss, a peak from which the soul may descend back into the mortal world or ascend to the highest freedom. When the physical body ceases, the soul departs within the subtle body; its destination is not in our hands. The elements of the body return to their sources. The soul, liberated from bodily suffering, sees all karma. Karma is action and its inevitable reaction, a cosmic law where our deeds return to us. The soul does not die. One seed produces its own kind, representing the continuity of the soul's lineage. The karma of an ancestor is not the karma of a descendant; that would be an unfair duality. Yet, a karmic heritage, like certain tendencies, can pass through generations. Achieving the highest consciousness can liberate many generations. The soul may enter any of the 8.4 million forms of life. The soul is the same in all beings, from an elephant to a bacterium, like fire is the same in a great blaze or a small match. The soul is coated by the reactions of its actions. Before acting, one must discern the desire, object, action, and potential reaction. The soul, freed from the physical body, still moves with the mental and subtle bodies, directed by its accumulated karma across the five sheaths. One can purify this karmic inheritance in this life through change in diet, way of living, and thought. Yoga is the practice of unifying and balancing these elements through comfortable, smooth movement, not mere physical contortion. "Karma means our action. Where there is action, there will be a reaction." "The soul is the same. How? We cannot see it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
A hatha yogi is one with Nature
19:05 - 20:00 (55 min)
Recorded on
Hatha Yoga is a discipline of alignment and harmony that begins with life itself. Its principles apply from infancy, where correct physical support prevents pain like a displaced collarbone, to the natural care shown by elders and animals. True discipline is universal, required in all work and life. Hatha Yoga is not merely exercise; it requires endurance and a calm nervous system. Techniques include conscious breathing and natural remedies like the neem tree, which purifies and strengthens. Ayurveda is the science of life, using plants—roots, herbs, and leaves—without harm. A Hatha yogi lives as one with nature, drawing healing prana from trees and surrendering to natural law, which offers more than any hospital. "Discipline is not only for the yogīs. Discipline is for all animals. And even the trees have a discipline." "A Hatha yogī is one with nature, and he is surrendering to nature." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Keep your heart and turn towards the Cosmic
20:05 - 20:59 (54 min)
Recorded on
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. "Eko brahma dvitīya nāsti. There is only one, that is one, and if there are two, there is duality." "Go within yourself. Then you will see, 'Oh, now I know myself.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

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
