We are under the protection
0:15 - 1:13 (58 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Slovenska vas, Slovenia. We are human, we should be brothers and sisters. We should be happy that at least we have a shelter and we can be peaceful in our house. We are all devotees of Gurudev. Become a real Gop or Gopi, do not gossip. We are under the protection of God. Miracle means a good thing.
Miracles are in our service
0:30 - 1:45 (75 min)
Recorded on
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
Bhagwan Shiva in Fiji
2:15 - 2:29 (14 min)
Recorded on
This sacred island is the ancient abode of Bhagavān Śiva, his consort Pārvatī, and Nandī. A mountain here holds the complete form of the Divine Mother, visible from the airport. At its peak is a pure lake, like Mānasarovara, from which flows water bottled and sold globally as Fiji Water. Upon a large rock near this lake is the Swayambhū footprint of Lord Sadāśiva. On another part of the island, in Lambasa, a sacred black stone representing a śāstra nāga grew despite attempts to contain it, leading to the construction of the Nāg Mandir. This land is uniquely blessed, free from dangerous animals and abundant with food and water year-round, a protection linked to its sacred geography. "At the peak of that mountain, there is a beautiful lake, akin to Mānasarovara near Kailāśa mountain. The water of that lake is utterly pure, without pollution." "Fiji is the only country in the world without any dangerous animals, reptiles, or spiders. You can sleep anywhere outside without worry." Filming location: Fiji Islands
Practical guide to meditation (10/11)
2:30 - 4:29 (119 min)
Recorded on
True yoga is not found in physical postures but in inner realization. Liberation comes through grace and knowledge, not by torturing the body. Do not mistake exercise for yoga. A yogi is one who attains equal vision and universal consciousness, which may require many lifetimes. Outer beauty distracts; inner beauty transforms. Even an enemy constantly thinking of God receives a visit. Conflict and suffering arise from inner turmoil, not external circumstances like financial loss. Meditation resolves this inner conflict for everyone. "Liberation will not come from the postures of the body." "On the day when you become a yogī, even Lord Viṣṇu will come and stand up when you are coming." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The science of Svara yoga
4:35 - 5:16 (41 min)
Recorded on
The science of prāṇa and Svara Yoga is a profound system within the yogic tradition. Yoga is an ancient principle existing for all creation, leading to the highest reality. The human journey presents a fundamental choice: spiritual ascent or descent back into worldly cycles. This divine science is embodied within our physical form. Prāṇa is life itself, and the soul resides within it. The practice involves understanding the flow of breath through the nasal channels known as Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. This is Svara Yoga. One must learn to discern which nostril has dominant flow, as this knowledge guides practice. Techniques exist to gently alter this flow, such as applying pressure under the opposite armpit. This practice aligns with daily activities, like drinking water during left-nostril flow. Mastering this control through sustained prāṇāyāma can expand life. This knowledge is drawn from exacting traditional sources, ultimately attributed to the divine. "Prāṇa means life, and life means prāṇa. Our soul is in prāṇa." "If we can control both our nostrils, Iḍā-Piṅgalā, then we can expand our life more." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
God is in the whole universe
5:20 - 5:57 (37 min)
Recorded on
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." "Don’t believe the religion, don’t believe some statues, but at least believe your body, and your body inside is God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Keep your inner temple clean
6:05 - 6:42 (37 min)
Recorded on
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." "God said, 'I am in you.' Your Jīvātmā, that is my God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Seed of Practice
6:50 - 7:15 (25 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Practise and live disciplined
7:20 - 8:31 (71 min)
Recorded on
Discipline is the foundation of genuine yoga practice. Without it, even decades of practice lead nowhere. The world offers two paths: the rare life of total renunciation and the integrated life of a householder. The latter is recommended, where one lives fully in the world while maintaining spiritual discipline. Do not chase miracles or external validations; reality is found within. Practice requires purifying the mind's fluctuations. Many attend gatherings but lack focus, indulging in chatter and breaking dietary discipline, which wastes food and energy. True practice demands sustained commitment, not short courses seeking certificates. Integrate silence and focus into daily life. "Yogaḥ cittavṛtti nirodhaḥ." "If you have no discipline, even if you are practicing 35 years, you go on the wrong way." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The real Human
8:35 - 9:21 (46 min)
Recorded on
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." "In your whole world, any country, any religion, you have so many good people." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Advice for good health
9:25 - 10:33 (68 min)
Recorded on
Haṭha Yoga is the inner purification of the body through natural wisdom and technique. Astrological predictions are secondary to life's inherent function. Humans support each other, as in older communities where goods and services were shared. Modern systems of employment and commerce continue this interdependence. Nature provides all necessary remedies, such as salt for health and cow urine for healing. Āyurveda is the vast treasure of medicinal plants and elements surrounding us. Haṭha Yoga practices like neti cleanse the nasal passages with precise salt water. Kunjal kriyā is learned from the elephant's action of drawing and expelling water. Sūtra dhauti involves swallowing a cloth for internal cleansing. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana purifies the intestines with warm salt water, mimicking the conch's spiral. All these techniques originate from observing nature, as humans are part of nature. Use what God has provided, but within limits. "The train will go according to the schedule, function, or time. Is it a good constellation or a bad constellation? The train will go." "Better to die, but with the salt." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Birds are feeling where their nest is
10:40 - 11:52 (72 min)
Recorded on
The practice of Śaṅkhaprakṣālana requires proper guidance. This Haṭha Yoga technique cleanses the internal system, mimicking the conch's shape and the elephant's action of Kuñjalakriyā. Mastery is essential, as incorrect practice from mere imitation can cause harm. Not everyone is suitable; those with ulcers, recent surgeries, pregnancy, epilepsy, low blood pressure, or bleeding hemorrhoids must avoid it. Practice ideally occurs in groups under supervision to ensure thoroughness. True teaching requires formal certification from a recognized institution like Yoga in Daily Life, not just personal practice. This system encompasses more than postures and breathing; it is a complete education for the soul. Maintain connection to your roots and live harmoniously. "Those who merely imitate yoga—watching someone on television, reading a book, or just observing—have good theory but not practice." "Yoga in Daily Life is not only āsanas and prāṇāyāmas... We have to learn everything, from kindergarten until university." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Practice with Swamiji from Auckland, New Zealand.
Culture is very important
13:15 - 14:13 (58 min)
Recorded on
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." "Without the guru’s blessing, the knowledge will not come." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Prayer helps us further on our path
14:20 - 15:17 (57 min)
Recorded on
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
Understand and follow your Guruji
15:25 - 16:22 (57 min)
Recorded on
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
Navel is the centre of our body
16:30 - 17:14 (44 min)
Recorded on
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."

How could we live a happy life
17:20 - 18:11 (51 min)
Recorded on
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.
We are going for oneness
18:15 - 19:03 (48 min)
Recorded on
The path is to transcend the sense of a separate self and realize oneness. Yoga means to unite with the cosmic reality. The individual self is temporary, like the daily sun, while the inner self is eternal light. Do not think only "I am"; countless beings exist within one body. All paths move toward merging into the divine unity of Śiva, Brahmā, and Viṣṇu. If one clings to duality and separation, one becomes lost. The practice is to go with this flow toward unity, not against it. Ultimately, the body returns to dust, but the pure consciousness remains. Continuously remember the guru and the divine name to connect with that light. All gurus and traditions lead to the same one reality. "One in all and all in one." "Gurudev, Gurudev, Gurudev."

The science of Svara yoga
19:10 - 19:51 (41 min)
Recorded on
The science of prāṇa and Svara Yoga is a profound system within the yogic tradition. Yoga is an ancient principle existing for all creation, leading to the highest reality. The human journey presents a fundamental choice: spiritual ascent or descent back into worldly cycles. This divine science is embodied within our physical form. Prāṇa is life itself, and the soul resides within it. The practice involves understanding the flow of breath through the nasal channels known as Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. This is Svara Yoga. One must learn to discern which nostril has dominant flow, as this knowledge guides practice. Techniques exist to gently alter this flow, such as applying pressure under the opposite armpit. This practice aligns with daily activities, like drinking water during left-nostril flow. Mastering this control through sustained prāṇāyāma can expand life. This knowledge is drawn from exacting traditional sources, ultimately attributed to the divine. "Prāṇa means life, and life means prāṇa. Our soul is in prāṇa." "If we can control both our nostrils, Iḍā-Piṅgalā, then we can expand our life more." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Where and how the kundalini starts to rise up
19:55 - 20:53 (58 min)
Recorded on
The subject is Kuṇḍalinī and the chakras. Love makes any distance feel near. Kuṇḍalinī refers to the round, cyclical nature of all existence, from planets to our bodies. It is a serpentine energy, not a literal snake, moving through subtle channels like Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā, supported by the strong Vajranāḍī. This system belongs to yogic anatomy, not medical science. Kuṇḍalinī exists within the five layers of human being. It represents the balance between our animal and human qualities, symbolized by Śiva. The Mūlādhāra Cakra is associated with Gaṇeśa and the symbolism of a white elephant, representing the seven essential minerals in the body. The chakras' petals are linked to vibrations, like Sanskrit letters, and the cycles of time. Our speech originates from the navel's vibration. Understanding this requires moving beyond ordinary sensation. "If there is no love, even the neighbor is too far. If there is love, even thousands of kilometers are no distance." "Everything in this world, in this space, is around. Our ocean, our earth, all our bodies are called globes." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Mantra and Guru
21:00 - 21:53 (53 min)
Recorded on
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
Be positive and forget about bad things
22:00 - 22:56 (56 min)
Recorded on
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."

The Healing Bridge: Integrating Yoga into Modern Medicine
23:00 - 23:09 (9 min)
Recorded on
A holistic yoga system offers a vital complement to modern medicine within a globalized, rapid, and restless world. Western medicine excels at structural issues but faces challenges with widespread psychosomatic conditions. Applying yoga occurs on three levels: as preventive self-care to reduce systemic costs, as a supportive adjunct to enhance medical treatments, and as a primary treatment for specific functional or psychosomatic ailments. Encouraging patients to practice the complete system, rather than seeking quick fixes, allows them to resolve their own issues through self-knowledge. This path addresses the root restlessness driving the demand for rapid, universalized treatments that often fail. The methods provided are excellent for both prevention and fostering genuine well-being. "When someone comes with a particular complaint, I advise them: 'Practice the Yoga in Daily Life system as a complete system.'" "People suffer because they are globalized, rapid, and restless. Consequently, they seek quick, rapid, and universalized medications and treatments—an approach that often fails." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
The Silent Revolution: Yoga as the Antidote to Mind Pollution and Failed Leadership
23:15 - 23:38 (23 min)
Recorded on
We need a silent revolution in leadership and consciousness. Old models have failed, creating crisis. Leaders are overwhelmed, lack self-awareness, and cannot inspire, leaving people disengaged. The solution is changing leaders. We are entering a cognitive age where mind care is paramount. Control your thoughts, for they become your destiny. Media exaggerates violence; data shows heart disease and cancer are far greater threats. The real danger is mind pollution—the poisoning of our minds. Yoga is for non-violence and peace. It is a systematic science for mastering the mind and achieving inner peace. A peaceful society guarantees the right to self-realization. Yoga accelerates human growth and is vital for well-being and social harmony. We must go public, integrate yoga into all education and leadership training, and promote it globally. "Control your thoughts, for they trigger your emotions and feelings. Control your emotions, for they become your words." "Yoga is a systematic, conscious science of human development. Its main technique is gaining mastery over the mind, stopping the internal dialogue." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
Body is the temple of God
23:45 - 0:24 (39 min)
Recorded on
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
