Take care of your spirituality
0:15 - 1:14 (59 min)
The human body is a temporary instrument containing all elements and yogic paths for the journey to Brahmaloka. This journey is the Jīvātmā moving from the cosmic to the earthly and back. The complete science of yoga is within us, yet Jñāna Yoga alone is dry knowledge; it is like chewing a dry bone, drawing your own blood. Bhakti Yoga is the essential, living juice of humility and love that makes progress possible. Religion is not merely doctrine but the daily practice of caring for the self. One must protect the inner flame of devotion through all storms. The ultimate goal is oneness, like a drop merging into the ocean.
"Jñāna Yoga is just dry. A dry wood you can bite and bite."
"Bhakti is, we are full of the juice, sweet, everything. Without bhakti, you can’t come."

Feel the confidence and God will help
0:30 - 1:16 (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.
"Anyone can take from my hands, but not from my jīvā, my ātmā."
"Eko brahma dvitīya nāsti: one Brahman, there is no second."

Practice yoga like a cosmic dance
2:05 - 2:29 (24 min)
Wellness is achieved through sattvic living and non-violence, beginning with non-violence towards oneself. Illness often stems from violating natural laws, particularly in diet. We must eat to live for perfect health, not live merely to eat. Ancient wisdom prescribes mantras to purify our atmosphere and bless our food, cultivating sattvic quality. Āyurveda and Yoga are the two wings for a healthy life, guided by three principles: sattvic (pure), rajasic (aggressive), and tamasic (dull). Tamasic quality includes laziness, old food, alcohol, and misused spices, which poison the body and breed disease. Sattvic food—like milk, nuts, and fresh vegetables—creates happiness and balance. True wellness extends beyond diet to include movement like gentle yoga, positive thinking, and a harmonious lifestyle. Excessive bodybuilding or advanced postures driven by ego becomes rajasic and harmful. We must remember our human purpose: to protect, love, and forgive. Our food directly shapes our body, mind, and health; therefore, we must choose fresh, organic nourishment. Ultimately, a life of non-violence, positive thought, and sattvic practice leads to health, happiness, and liberation.
"Violence is against wellness, and wellness is not violence."

The Soil of Sandalwood
2:30 - 3:00 (30 min)
Meditation is the only way to the self and to God. Yoga is the science of body, mind, and soul, given by Lord Śiva, the first being, Swayambhu. In the beginning was endless space and the cosmic consciousness, Chaitanya, resting within it like a child. This formless consciousness desired, "I am one; I shall become many." This first desire, Īcchā Śakti, is the root of all problems and began creation. From this desire came resonance, the sacred sound Om, which is the fire element. This brought movement, feelings, and the other elements: air, space, water, and earth, forming all creation. The individual self and the cosmic self cannot coexist; one must surrender to become one, like salt dissolving in the ocean. All spiritual science, including meditation, is the gift of Śiva.
"What you search, you will get, but then you will not be aware of what you got."

Consciousness and Space
3:05 - 3:37 (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.

Bhramari and bhramari pranayama
3:45 - 4:17 (32 min)
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."

A hatha yogi is one with Nature
4:25 - 5:20 (55 min)
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."

Miracles are in our service
5:25 - 6:40 (75 min)
The grace of the Guru manifests through selfless service and faith, not the pursuit of miracles. A true teacher serves all without distinction. After a gathering, the teacher ensured latecomers were fed first, personally serving them sweet food. In another instance, a small amount of food was made to feed hundreds after the teacher covered the pot with a shawl, demonstrating that faith provides abundance. "When you have all eaten and your stomach is full, my stomach is also full." "Why are you thinking that we don’t have? We have, Guru has." Miracles occur naturally around the sanctified but are not to be sought. A story tells of a man healed of leprosy through an herbal purgative and a mantra. He later, through simple faith in that herb, helped others find lost animals, reconcile a marriage, and even cause an invading army to retreat by serving them the same purgative. This illustrates that devoted service itself is the miracle. Seeking special powers leads to difficulty. "They don’t make miracles, but the miracle is there." Contentment and selfless action are the true paths. Hold to the teachings.

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.

Examples of yogic power and awareness
8:35 - 9:29 (54 min)
Spirituality is one, transcending all nations and forms. Many great yogis and spiritual masters exist in all countries, not only in India. A story illustrates this: a yogi in Czechoslovakia healed a deep cut on a disciple's hand instantly through yogic power. Spiritual power is universal. One must be fully aware and conscious in all moments, like a vigilant driver. The world should be seen as one. Different religions and customs are outer garments; the inner truth is one. All paths ultimately lead to the same Brahman. Respect all dharmas, and your dharma will protect you. Do not be proud of your own country alone. True spirituality is found in conscious awareness and seeing the divine unity in all.

Bhramari pranayama can help against many problems
9:35 - 10:14 (39 min)
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
10:20 - 10:57 (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.

Practicing for the animals
11:05 - 12:01 (56 min)
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.

Tratak and Tilak
12:10 - 13:12 (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."

Keep your heart and turn towards the Cosmic

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.

Know your five sheaths: physical, energetic, mental, wisdom, and bliss. Chant in the forest, feeling oneness with the Supreme.
You are the king of your senses and the master of your body's kingdom. Do not become a slave to your senses, as this leads to the kingdom's fall. Know yourself as the inner governor.

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.

Modern medicine and ancient wisdom both have their place in preserving life. The soul is attached to the body but seeks release.

Swara Yoga
18:45 - 19:22 (37 min)
Svara Yoga is a profound practice aligning breath with life's rhythms. For the sincere practitioner, it is a simple sadhana, yet difficult for the mere trier. This discipline reveals indications of past, present, and future. It involves understanding the flow of the Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna nadis. Daily actions—rising, stepping, eating, drinking—should harmonize with the active nostril. This alignment dispels anxiety and brings clarity. The moon's phases hold significance, connected to emotion and water. Practice cultivates automatic awareness, prolonging health and happiness. It requires sustained dedication, not short-term effort.

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."

How to control the human nature
20:20 - 20:58 (38 min)
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.
