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

Gratitude is expressed for the practice and teachings received. The Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna reveals inner tensions, linking body and mind. True understanding comes from consistent practice with guidance. The nature of samādhi is explored, distinguishing between the death of the body and the passing of the soul. The body is a temporary vessel; the essence remains within us. Stories illustrate the profound commitment of advanced practitioners who consciously enter samādhi, demonstrating the soul's power beyond physical form. "Through Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, one learns what tension is and how to release it. My experience is that restlessness of the body means restlessness of the mind." "Passed away is different... they were with us, but now she is within us. That's the difference." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A clear aim is essential to prevent the intellect from becoming a destructive distraction. Without a definite purpose, the mind wavers among endless possibilities, changing direction with every new suggestion. This lack of clarity makes one susceptible to external influences and gossip, which act like poison, spoiling spiritual practice as lemon curdles milk. Negative talk and jealousy introduce destructive thoughts that can damage years of spiritual effort. One must therefore cultivate an intensive, unwavering aim and avoid all sources of negative influence. Protect your consciousness from harmful information that creates doubt and disturbs your peace. Spiritual progress requires guarding the mind and maintaining humility, allowing the intellect to become a supportive tool rather than an obstacle. "Your aim must be very clear, intensive, and good. Nothing should be able to change you." "One stupid thought, one stupid person, can destroy all your spiritual sādhanā." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 180a

The discipline of anuṣṭhāna is a rigorous, systematic practice for sincere seekers. One stays in a designated spot, maintaining distance from others as energies differ. Nourishment is limited, though health conditions are accommodated. Initial days are manageable, but resolve is tested by the third and fourth days. Preparation should begin six months in advance. Commercialized versions exist with high costs and amenities, but the authentic path derives from the Guru's lineage. Trust in the master is essential; doubt is an internal obstacle one must remove. The spiritual journey is solitary, requiring one to turn inward, away from external distractions. Meditate to connect with the inner self, the source of true happiness. Be like a flower that shares its essence, ensuring internal thoughts are as pure as external appearance. "Trust. If you don't trust your master, then the mistake is within us." "Meditate, and you have your mantra. Then you will feel your heart relax." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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

Progress requires humility and the avoidance of jealousy's destructive fire. Advancement comes through humble self-reflection, not by pointing out the faults of others using body, speech, or mind. Negative actions first harm the doer. Forgiveness is essential; one must absorb injustice without retaliation, as exemplified by profound spiritual examples. Physical yoga alone is insufficient for reaching the divine. Spiritual progress is tested through life's difficulties, as illustrated by the story of a prince who sought God directly after being wronged. Divine judgment looks beyond religious labels to the purity of the heart. Jealousy is a consuming inner fire that destroys the individual. The spiritual light, or Deepak, is crucial for illumination in darkness, guiding one's inner life. True practice is controlled and peaceful, avoiding forceful methods that cause harm. A prayer calls upon the all-pervading, merciful divine light for forgiveness and guidance. "God, or Brahman, or Allah—all will see everyone." "Jealous means fire, burning."

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. "Whom the gods save, no one can do anything." "One in all and all in one."

The human path requires a clear spiritual practice and a single, true guru. All beings share this human life, yet many have lost the heart's connection through worldly confusion. The morning routine is essential: awaken before sunrise in Brahmamuhurta, wash with water, and bring light into your space with a lamp and pure sound. This practice purifies the day. Your spiritual guru is one, just as a child has one mother and father. Do not change gurus or jump between paths, as this creates confusion. The guru gives the seed of knowledge directly to the soul. Attend other gatherings for learning, but your primary allegiance remains to your one guru. The wealth from a guru is inner knowledge, which cannot be stolen. Surrender body, mind, and this inner wealth in service. "From the morning when we wake up until the evening when we go to sleep... there is something within our body, in our brain, in our inner thoughts." "Do not change your gurus. If you change, you will not achieve anything. The guru is one." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Relax completely from head to toe, releasing all thoughts. After morning spiritual practices, one remains relaxed despite activity. Feel the fresh air and the presence of the trees. Be with Mother Nature to recharge. See the vision of the park with closed eyes. Sit up and recognize your role in the program. Consider your aim in life and how to achieve it. We are connected like pearls on a thread through Guru's grace and practice. No one should force you; listen only to your own heart and soul. 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. "Relax. Just relax; don’t think anything about the outside or technology, any chemicals. Just be with Mother Nature." "You are the king of your senses. If you are the slave of your senses, you can’t govern your kingdom." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Guru's grace is the supreme principle, beyond all deities. The Earth is our first mother and must be honored before any action. Upon waking, acknowledge your humanity and ask permission to step upon the Earth. She awakens to protect her child. This respect is mirrored in the Earth-breaking ceremony for building a house, ensuring harmony. Farmers understand the right time to work the land. A mother's bond is ultimate; she gives everything and asks only for her child's presence at her death. The physical body returns to the Earth or fire. Do not keep dead beings in the home, as this invites disturbance. We are killing the Earth Mother with chemicals. Eat according to the body's intelligence, not mere taste. Those without a guru are incomplete. "Mother, can I step on you?" "Satguru is the eternal Brahmā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

God's presence is a constant companion through all of life's changing paths. Nature displays God's endless blessings through shifting seasons and beauty, which we absorb in meditation. In that inner temple, we invite God to awaken within our consciousness. This meditation brings a profound joy, where the Guru's likeness and essence appear within, becoming one with the divine. Human life progresses through stages: the infant's contentment, the child's toys, the search for partnership, and the duties of family. Eventually, weariness sets in, and one may feel that nothing of substance remains, like spitting out a seed after eating the fruit. A story illustrates this companionship: a devotee walking with God questions why God seems absent on the difficult, thorny path. God explains, "My son, at that time, I was holding you in my hands, in my palm... I was protecting you." When the path is easy again, God walks beside him. Thus, God never leaves, even during tests. The feeling of absence is an illusion. Surrender to the Guru is essential, likened to giving one's head, though even complete surrender is said to be insufficient. The disciple must continually gaze toward the Guru's feet, the guiding moon. "When there were the thorns and the stones, and the heat... at that time, I was holding you in my hands." "This body is... like the poisons. But Gurudev is amṛt, nectar." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Fear is a universal obstacle that must be overcome to realize oneness. All living beings possess the same divine essence and experience fear, including animals who are often afraid of humans. Humans claim spiritual knowledge yet remain bound by fear of loss, pain, and death. Even skilled professionals and caregivers operate with underlying fear. The spiritual path requires transcending this fear through awareness and grace. A true guru embodies this fearlessness, providing refuge. Ultimately, merging into oneness dissolves all fear.

The human body is the temple made by God, containing the soul. This divine temple must be cared for through pure living, which is itself worship. All spiritual practice begins with self-care, akin to securing one's oxygen mask first. The ultimate aim is to awaken the latent power within this temple and ascend to the cosmic reality. This ascent is facilitated by Nāda, the primordial sound. Nāda originates from the navel, the central seed of the body and consciousness. From this center, vibration ascends through the energy channels and chakras. The sound OM embodies this Nāda. Correct practice requires feeling the vibration from its navel source, not merely intoning it in the head. This resonance brings peace to every cell, guiding the practitioner toward Brahman. "The second temple is that which God made... our body is our temple." "Nāda comes from the navel. From that, it goes to different chakras, and the chakras are the power."

The Guru principle is supreme, greater than all divine forms. Even Rāma and Kṛṣṇa bowed to their gurus. God is one, present in every particle. Yet, to know this, a guru is essential. The guru is not merely a physical body but the living principle of knowledge. All cosmic deities are subordinate to the Satguru. This principle is complete and unchanging, unlike the cyclical full moon. Many seek but few find the true Guru, while the insincere suffer for ages. A true guru can be a householder or a renunciant; the form is secondary to the essence of the teaching. "Who is greater than Bhagavān Rāma and Kṛṣṇa? They must be guru-keen." "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvarāha, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Guru Ve Namaḥa." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The human body is the true living temple of God. All creatures possess this temple of life, for where there is life, God resides. The ultimate form of this temple is the human body. Humans must realize this divinity within and cease causing harm. Violence against other living beings creates an obstacle to the highest realization. Even in external temples, consecrated statues become vessels for divine presence through worship and mantra. Yet the primary focus must be the internal temple. The vital energy, or prāṇa, originates from the navel center. Through disciplined practice, one can channel this energy upward through the body's centers toward supreme consciousness. "Where there is life, there God itself resides." "The real temple is the human body." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Spiritual hunger requires direct nourishment, not mere description. A starving person needs food, not a lecture on its preparation. Students shown pictures of food remain hungry. People now hunger for freedom and health amidst confinement and tension. Direct spiritual sustenance is needed, not lengthy discourse. Offer the essential nourishment that can be immediately received and integrated. This sustenance transcends language and unites all in one reality. The divine presence is singular, like the sun shining on all. Do not worry about current difficulties; they will pass. Use this time for spiritual connection. The body itself contains the divine. Practice mantra and prayer for strength and peace. Cross the ocean of worldly illusion through the boat of spiritual community. "People were all listening because there was nothing else, so they put their time to very good use and learned again more."

Culture is the essential spiritual education for children, uniting humanity through shared traditions and reverence for life. Every nation possesses a unique culture, which is the foundation for its spirituality and education. Parents must impart this cultural knowledge at home, alongside formal schooling. Cultural festivals like Christmas or Diwali awaken collective joy and continuity, teaching values through anticipation and celebration. Rituals such as marriages, conducted with purity and community support, embed cultural understanding in the young. This education extends to knowing one's land—its rivers, forests, and natural gifts like medicinal honey and the sacred cow. Daily practices, including prayer before meals and the principles of yajña (sacrifice), dāna (charity), and tapas (austerity), structure a moral life. Ultimately, this cultural guidance requires the blessing of a guru to awaken true knowledge and prevent a life of aimless wandering. "Where there is culture, there is spirituality."

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. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The spiritual journey requires humility, love for all beings, and steadfast practice, not the pursuit of a holy seat. We are all one. Humans possess knowledge that animals lack, yet all creatures share the capacity for pain, so we must help, not kill them. A holy seat exists in many traditions, reserved for one person. Yet a pure child or a bird would be welcomed there by the seated saint. The one on the seat must be humble, not claim superiority. Our practice, whether yoga or sport, leads to relaxation. From there, we expand our compassion to feel for all suffering, like in an earthquake. This developed humility allows us to understand higher truths. Many levels of yoga exist, and the highest leads to an expansive, humble heart like a great tree that shelters all. Such a person is fit for the holy seat. Many traditions only seat males, yet we worship divine feminine forms. The one on the chair bears a responsibility for all, not ownership. Do not merely seek a title; many spiritually developed beings exist everywhere. Spiritual progress requires steady climbing, not haste. Do not run from teacher to teacher seeking quick results, as a parable teaches. "One in all and all in one." "Protect them, feed them, but don’t kill them and don’t eat them."

Yoga is practiced in the heart of the city on a car-free day. Our international system, Yoga in Daily Life, was founded by an Indian master and has been present here for over thirty years. We have a center that has continuously held classes from the same location. Today, we practiced with children of various ages. It is interesting to practice yoga on this normally busy avenue. The experience proves you can practice undisturbed even here; the curious onlookers inspire us. We welcome visitors to try this tomorrow.

Yoga in Everyday Life is a system of practice for daily living. We demonstrate its aspects at events like the Vegetarian Festival. The practice involves paying attention to bodily sensations, which connects you to vitality carried by circulation and prāṇa. The system offers recommendations, with a vegetarian lifestyle being foremost. It is not enough to merely be vegetarian; one must also move, exercise, practice prāṇāyāma, and relax. This philosophy aims first for good health, suggesting many troubles originate from the stomach and the sense of taste. Managing this is possible through the master yoga system. Beyond physical benefits, the philosophy makes life easier, providing opportunity to find oneself and ultimately reach the Self of God, Paramātmā. "Among these, the foremost is to maintain a vegetarian lifestyle." "He can deal with everything if he is involved in the master yoga system." Filming location: Budapest, Hungary
