The real Human
0:30 - 1:16 (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
Guru is eternal
0:30 - 1:12 (42 min)
Recorded on
The Guru principle is eternal, transcending the cyclical divine play of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. These deities change and serve each other across ages, but the Guru's seat, the Gāḍī, remains. This seat is not the individual but the eternal principle they temporarily represent. Humans originate from the Saptaṛṣis, creating lineages of saṃskāra, not hierarchy. Our spiritual practice seeks the answer to "Who am I?" within this eternal shelter. The physical lineage continues through specific seats and disciples. "Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva will change, but the Guru will remain." "One should not sit on that chair... that Gāḍī will take that one." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Blessing from Satyajuga
1:15 - 2:03 (48 min)
Recorded on
We are gathered in the flow of spiritual time, within Kali Yuga. We are connected to a lineage from Satya Yuga, symbolized by the Alaknandā River and saints like Ālakpurījī. This river represents our strong, collective spiritual current. In this age, performing right effort leads to Brahmaloka. Sanātana Dharma is the eternal, inclusive law for a happy, healthy life for all, beyond any single religion. Kali Yuga is powerful, bringing trials like pandemic and war. We must protect ourselves with practical care and spiritual practice. We are in this divine flow together, and the grace of the Gurus will guide us. "In this Kali Yuga, they will come to Brahmaloka. Others will go back again into the other Yugas." "Sanatana Dharma means for everyone to have a life that is happy, healthy, and spiritual." Filming location: Slovenia
The Science of Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
2:05 - 2:50 (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
God is in the whole universe
2:55 - 3:32 (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
The science of Svara yoga
3:40 - 4:21 (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
Navel is the centre of our body
4:25 - 5:09 (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."

Keep your inner temple clean
5:15 - 5:52 (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
Where and how the kundalini starts to rise up
6:00 - 6:58 (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
Understand and follow your Guruji
7:05 - 8:02 (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
Practise and live disciplined
8:10 - 9:21 (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
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

How could we live a happy life
14:20 - 15:11 (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.
Mantra and Guru
15:15 - 16:08 (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 Seed of Practice
16:15 - 16:40 (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
Life is ever existing
16:45 - 17:36 (51 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the singular union of daily practice and spiritual quest. The term "Yoga in Daily Life" signifies practice integrated into every day. Hatha yoga represents the union of the left and right energies, the sun and moon within. There are three types of determined will: the stubborn will of a child, the will of a woman, and the unyielding will of a yogi. A true Hatha Yogi possesses an unwavering resolve to achieve the divine, renouncing all else. A seeker longed only to see God, enduring great hardship on a mountain. Tested by a crow that was actually God in disguise, the seeker's ultimate devotion was proven by his request to keep his eyes to behold the divine. Such single-pointed determination is the essence of spiritual practice. Mere routine prayer or meditation, filled with distraction, lacks this power. The physical body is temporary, but the prana, the vital life force, is divine. The immortal soul never dies. "Eat all my body, but let my two eyes, because I want to see my God, my love." "You should know we will never die. The jīva will never die." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We are going for oneness
18:40 - 19:28 (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."

Be positive and forget about bad things
19:35 - 20:31 (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 Radiation of Holy Places
23:40 - 0:12 (32 min)

A pilgrimage is a journey of the heart to purify oneself at a holy place. I have been here for three months, observing the great atmosphere and disciplined bhaktas. We welcome you to this beautiful day at our āśram. Many came from various countries, all respectful and healthy. Our programs and satsaṅgs were successful, with space for hundreds while maintaining distance. I feel great devotion and recall our pilgrimage to the Himalayas. We traveled with hearts full of longing to step on India's holy soil, to see the Gaṅgā, which is more than a river—it is a mother. We journeyed to Badrinath and toward Alakpurījī's cave, where the terrain was harsh but the bhaktas' feeling was pure love and unity, beyond comfort or facility. The essence is bhakti—devotion is all one needs, not material wealth. We ask our Gurudev to be with us as we make our prayer. "One who goes to the holy place... they are going from the heart, and they are making their heart pure." "Dear Gurudev, give me only devotion... Money is nothing, money goes out of the hands, it will come again, but in the heart... I need the bhakti." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
