Be kind to all creatures
0:30 - 1:30 (60 min)
Recorded on
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."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. We are not connected to the time. There is only oneness in the oneness. The best way is yoga. Do not meditate on outer things. The development will come by practicing. Shiva puja gives calmness. It is very important how to worship Gurupurnima, tomorrow we are going to show it.

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
Practise and live disciplined
3:20 - 4:31 (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
Understand and follow your Guruji
4:35 - 5:32 (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
Be positive and forget about bad things
5:40 - 6:36 (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."

Mantra and Guru
6:40 - 7:33 (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
The Science of Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
7:40 - 8:25 (45 min)
Recorded on
The science of kuṇḍalinī and cakras is the definitive path to the highest consciousness, requiring a genuine guru from a true lineage. This knowledge is endless and encompasses all yoga practices. The deities and stories are symbolic representations of this inner science, not literal. For instance, the tale of Kṛṣṇa and the gopīs symbolizes that the human body is a divine gift; without spiritual practice, one loses this "dress" and is reborn in an animal form. Another story of Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī tests a devotee's greed, showing that worldly prosperity can distract from true devotion. These are teaching tools. Kuṇḍalinī is not about sexuality; tantra rightly means expanding consciousness to liberate oneself. All reality exists within the human body and being. "Kṛṣṇa did not take that dress away. That dress is His skin." "Tan means expand. And 'trā' means 'to liberate.' Expand your consciousness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Culture is very important
8:30 - 9:28 (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
Advice for good health
9:35 - 10:43 (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
Where and how the kundalini starts to rise up
10:52 - 11:50 (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

Prayer helps us further on our path
12:50 - 13:47 (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
We are going for oneness
13:55 - 14:43 (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."

How could we live a happy life

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.

Tratak and the inner meditation
20:20 - 21:13 (53 min)
Recorded on
The practice of Trāṭaka extends beyond external gaze to the awakening of inner vision. We clean the physical eyes with Triphalā to prepare. Yet true sight is internal. Most practitioners sit for meditation with closed eyes but lack the technique to see inwardly, like a blind person missing a door while distracted. This inner Trāṭaka is not theoretical; it requires a guru's practical guidance on the subtle channels—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumnā—and centers like the trikuṭī. It is a disciplined focus, akin to a pilot flying by instruments or an archer hitting a target by looking at its reflection. The guru's gaze upon the disciple and the disciple's focused gaze upon the teaching are one. Mastery comes from prolonged practice, not mere intellectual knowledge. "Almost all yoga practitioners do inner Trāṭaka without knowing it." "If you can shoot your arrow, then you are perfect in your Trāṭaka." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Neti and pranayama
22:25 - 22:54 (29 min)
Recorded on
The practice of netī and prāṇāyāma cleanses the subtle channels and brings health. The spine houses the Vajranāḍī, the vital channel for all creatures; its injury ends life. Care is essential in all physical activity. Netī cleanses the nostrils using a lotā with warm, salted water; practice only in the morning. This relieves headaches and clarifies the senses. Prāṇāyāma begins with alternate-nostril breathing to purify the nāḍīs. Techniques like nāḍī śodhana and anuloma viloma balance energy and release ailments. Consistent practice yields profound benefits for the mind and body. "The Vajranāḍī is not only for humans, but for all creatures... When the Vajranāḍī is broken, then life is gone." "Inhale with the left nostril... exhale only with the left nostril... Then we close the left nostril, and we inhale and exhale only with the right nostril." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
World Peace is in Our Hands
23:00 - 23:05 (5 min)
Recorded on
World peace is in our hands. Our world is increasingly turbulent and ambiguous, requiring more than linear answers. We must create resilient societies focused on shared peace and well-being. A world without peace, equitable wealth distribution, and planetary care will not survive. Achieving these goals requires every individual to become a responsible, active global citizen. My country is designing a new societal vision with its citizens, integrating this into our strategic development. We are committed to being a responsible global actor by implementing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. This includes striving for poverty eradication, gender equality, human rights, and environmental protection at all levels. Peace requires good intentions, cooperation, and inner balance. The best way to achieve that inner coherence is through yoga. Ultimately, our collective action determines our future. "A world without peace will not survive. A world without distributing wealth will not survive." "I think we all know the answer: yoga is the answer." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
Yoga, Health, and Peace: A Medical Perspective
23:10 - 23:22 (12 min)
Recorded on
True health requires integrating physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being, which modern life disrupts. Our unnatural lifestyle causes chronic stress, damaging our organs and leading to widespread disease. Yoga is a holistic, evidence-based system addressing this. It works on three levels: conscious practices like meditation influence the cortex; prāṇāyāma calms the subcortical autonomic nervous system; and āsanas affect the peripheral organs. This integrated approach combats key modern ailments. Memory loss and dementia are epidemics, worsened by our reliance on technology and poor diet. Yoga, along with a vegetarian diet rich in healthy spices, is scientifically shown to preserve memory and prevent cognitive decline. Similarly, yoga techniques are proven to alleviate and prevent depression by fostering present-moment awareness. By restoring balance across all levels of our being, yoga guides us toward self-realization. Understanding our connection to others allows us to live in peace. "All these diseases are actually caused by an overload of stress." "Yoga techniques influence us on all levels: physical, mental, social, and spiritual." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
Navel is the centre of our body
23:30 - 0:14 (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."
