The ego pulls down completely
0:05 - 1:13 (68 min)
Morning program with Vishwaguruji from Wellington Ashram, New Zealand. Life is the most beautiful, but humans always have problems like greediness and killing other creatures. The day when we go we will not bring anything with us. Story of the proud king who thought that he is the best. The ego pulls down completely. We need some things for our life, other things we should give. Be faithful to yourself.
Bhramari and bhramari pranayama
0:30 - 1:02 (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."

Mahaprabhuji is endless joy
1:15 - 1:34 (19 min)
Worldly joy is fleeting and contains hidden sorrow, but divine joy is endless. Human happiness is brief and intertwined with suffering, for every gain conceals equal or greater pain. Only the Supreme One's joy is boundless. An incarnate liberator provides a living refuge beyond scriptures. Merely reading teachings without following them brings no solution. True peace is found not in escape but in unwavering devotion to that divine source.
"Blessed is the land where the Divine Soul incarnates, Satguru Dev."

Science of chakras
1:40 - 2:56 (76 min)
Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through harmony and balance. The cosmic energy governs the universe, and this principle of union was discovered by ancient yogis. The individual soul is a spark of the divine light, present in all life. We originate from the cosmic sound and are composed of the five elements. Our journey involves many births, guided by karma, as the soul moves through forms and relations. The human body contains dormant energy centers called chakras, connected by 72,000 channels. Three primary channels—Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna—regulate energy, mind, and activity, converging at key points to form the chakras. These centers correspond to the elements and levels of consciousness, from the earthly Muladhara to the divine Sahasrara. Activating these centers through practice leads toward liberation.
"Yoga means union—the union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness."

The Seed of Practice
3:00 - 3:25 (25 min)
Faithful practice is the seed of attainment. Humans suffer greatly from their relationships and have abused nature beyond even animals, becoming the most developed yet most troubled creature. Intellectual knowledge alone is insufficient; devoted practice is essential. A story illustrates this: two brothers pursued different paths—one intellectual knowledge, the other devotional practice. The intellectual brother criticized the devotee's ritual errors. Later, seeing the devotee walk on water through pure faith, the intellectual realized his own knowledge was hollow. He was told the key is a pure heart in practice, not perfect technique, just as a seed grows regardless of how it is sown if the soil is good. Do not waste time in deliberation; practice faithfully with what you have.
"Too much reading also leads you nowhere. It’s only intellectual information. Therefore, practicing is very important."
"When you will pray with a pure heart, a good heart, if your mantra is pronounced correctly or incorrectly... The fruits will be there."

Be kind to all creatures
3:30 - 4:30 (60 min)
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."

Prayer helps us further on our path
4:35 - 5:32 (57 min)
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."

Examples of yogic power and awareness
5:40 - 6:34 (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.

The real Human
6:40 - 7:26 (46 min)
The unity of all life encompasses every soul, from the largest creature to the invisible microbe. Different cultures and landscapes exist, yet all life is interconnected. Yoga practices like āsana are not enough; one must elevate other lives by becoming lower in oneself. The earth is entirely living, full of unseen beings. The spiritual journey involves moving from the root chakra upward and downward in a cycle, not seeking only height. True human quality is found in humility and service, not in jealousy or anger. The majority of people are essentially good and generous. The body is a temple containing the divine and all life, so one must avoid harming even the smallest creatures.
"We should go to other souls, other jīvas, other bodies, other lives. We should become lower in ourselves and let all others come up."

Understand and follow your Guruji
7:30 - 8:27 (57 min)
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."

Miracles are in our service
8:35 - 9:50 (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.

Culture is very important
9:55 - 10:53 (58 min)
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.

Be positive and forget about bad things
11:00 - 11:56 (56 min)
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.

Practicing Yoga Asanas
12:00 - 12:41 (41 min)
We practice Vajrāsana and Vīrāsana for the nāḍī systems. Vajrāsana activates the Vajra Nāḍī, which begins between the big and second toe, connects to the base of the spine, and guides energy to the navel. Sitting in it after eating aids digestion and can help with constipation by relaxing the stomach and straightening the spine. It also balances the sciatic nerve. Vīrāsana, the hero's posture, involves sitting on the heels with toes standing. It warms the body, increases alertness, and with practice, can help repair digestion and headaches. These postures strengthen the lower centers and foot soles, which connect to the body's organs. They develop leg strength, balance, and concentration. Practice must be held steadily to awaken the nerves. "This Vajrāsana is designed especially to strengthen or to activate that Vajra Nāḍī." "This will repair our digestion. This will repair our headache problems, also many, many things." Filming location: USA
Overcome the fear
12:45 - 13:30 (45 min)
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.

Mantra and Guru
13:35 - 14:28 (53 min)
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."

Keep your inner temple clean
14:35 - 15:12 (37 min)
The human body is the temple of God. This temple must be kept clean, harmonious, and beautiful. We should offer salutation upon waking, giving thanks and receiving blessings. Our soul resides within this temple, so we must go within to find clarity, peace, and love. The divine is within you; do not seek it elsewhere. The individual self is like a single drop containing the whole ocean. Respect and care for your body, for if the inner temple is not clean and happy, one cannot find joy. Purify yourself upon waking and before sleep to awaken energy and release stress. Maintain purity by avoiding impure foods and substances. Simple practices, like applying a little oil, can bring health and calm.
"Therefore, we humans are the temple of God. We should keep that temple very clean and beautiful, shining."

Morning satsang from Yoga Summer Retreat from Vep, Hungary. Logo and uniform are important. Our colour is a golden, colour of Ganesha and Krishna too. Yoga practising and meditation will change the new generation in the world. The wold needs to love no war. Mantras destroy many illnesses. All religion is a sector. Gayatri mantra is very good to chains when the sun is rising. In Asia girls praying with her mother for a good husband. Beauty is in the heart and in the soul. Many nerves and many bones disappear during our life. The prana is energy, it is God. If zótgere is prana in the body there is life also. We should not destroy the prana of the animals. Not easy to go away from the human body. The graveyard is a very holy place.

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.

Navel is the centre of our body
17:00 - 17:44 (44 min)
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."

There is nothing higher than the Guru
17:50 - 18:33 (43 min)
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."

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."

Body is the temple of God
19:40 - 20:19 (39 min)
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.

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.

Education for Flexible Identities
23:00 - 23:15 (15 min)
Education requires recognizing the teacher and learner within oneself. If you cannot find the guru inside, you cannot recognize an adequate external guide. One must simultaneously be governed and govern, embodying this contradiction to harmonize self and society. True education awakens self-education first in oneself, like a candle needing its own flame to light others. Modern schooling historically replaced one fixed identity, like a peasant, with another, like a worker, but today that rigid model is destructive. We need education for flexible identity, learning to manage energy for fight or peace, as in yoga. Freedom is not limited by others but created through them; society is a necessity for liberty, not an obstacle. Our words and thoughts matter, as we are largely water, and they influence our very structure.
