Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. First God is the mother of the child. Child begins to develop in the mother's body. People lost the science of cooking. In the beginning, there was only conscious and space. Yoga consists of three things: space, conscious and alert. First was the sound and resonance was in it. The first yogi was Shiva who appeared in meditation posture. There are three kinds of meditation external internal and on the Master.
Neti and pranayama
0:30 - 0:59 (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
Atma is spotless
1:04 - 1:50 (46 min)
Recorded on
One word transmits a message to all, like rain falling equally on every creature. In difficulty, know you are carried by God, not abandoned. A true yogi, beyond all ritual, desires nothing, not even from Shiva. The soul is spotless, like the endless sky. Our body is a temporary shell; the eternal Ātmā within is one with the Guru's heart. Purification is for the mind, but the soul itself is already pure. "When the difficult time comes, then you should know that you are now with God." "Ask anything. He said, 'Okay, if you want to ask me anything, then get up.' What he said to Shiva, 'Go from here.'" Filming location: Dungog, New South Wales, Australia
Advice for good health
1:51 - 2:59 (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
Practise and live disciplined
3:05 - 4:16 (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
Culture is very important
4:20 - 5:18 (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
Protect the animals
5:25 - 5:56 (31 min)
Recorded on
A prayer for protection and balance in response to suffering. An earthquake has caused loss and hardship. Prayers and ceremonies have positive effects. We are in Kali Yuga, a distracting age. Shiva will now balance all negatives to bring a better time. Messages suggest more challenges will come. We must act. First, protect all life: in water, on land, and in the air. Do not destroy creatures; love and feed them. From your own food, give a portion to animals. This protection of others is protection for ourselves. Spiritual progress is like drawing water from a deep well; negative actions can break the rope, causing a fall. We should also practice yoga: postures like Sarvahitāsan and prāṇāyāma. These bring health. Breathing is life itself. "Shiva will balance all. He will bring that kind of energy so that all the negatives or distracting things will slowly, slowly be brought into a good position." "If we cannot give them something good, then at least we should not destroy them or make problems for them." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Wherever you are Gurudev is with you
6:00 - 6:54 (54 min)
Recorded on
The Guru is the supreme principle encompassing and transcending all. The Guru is Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, yet exists above this trinity. This truth is chanted to affirm that the divine witness is always present. Meditation's root is the Guru's form, meaning one should concentrate on the divine essence within, not the physical body. Worship's root is the Guru's feet, representing reverence for the foundation from which all guidance arises. The mantra's root is the Guru's word, for speech holds immense power for liberation or bondage. Liberation's root is the Guru's grace alone. Therefore, see the Guru in all steps and in all forms, moving beyond attachment to the physical. "Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Guruve Namaḥ." "Dhyāna Mūlam Guru Mūrti, Pūjā Mūlam Guru Padam, Mantra Mūlam Guru Vākyam, Mokṣa Mūlam Guru Kṛpā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Prana connects us
7:00 - 8:01 (61 min)
Recorded on
Prāṇa is the universal life force connecting all beings. Our physical body is composed of the five elements and contains immense energy. This energy, or prāṇa, must be balanced within us. It flows through every cell, not just the lungs; even our hair and nails interact with it. All life forms possess this prāṇa, from humans to animals and plants. We see evidence of the soul's presence after physical death, as in animals that gather around their dead. The key is to distinguish between temporary emotional attachment and eternal spiritual oneness. Attachment is personal and leads to separation, while oneness is a unifying connection with all life, like that between a true disciple and the guru. This connection transcends the physical body. Our practices should honor this inherent prāṇa within every being, fostering respect and unity rather than division. The goal is to realize this fundamental oneness. "Prāṇa is our prāṇa. Nāth is the God. 'My prāṇa.'" "Gurudev, I die, I will be Thine. Bhaktas can come and go, but my Lord, I will be dying." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Returning to Nature: A Call for Natural Living and Ayurvedic Wisdom
8:05 - 9:02 (57 min)
Recorded on
A destructive artificiality is overtaking the natural world and human health. Earthquakes, fires, and pollution signal a worsening age. Chemicals decimate bees, fish, and forests, while artificial foods and beauty products breed disease. We must return to nature and its wisdom, like Ayurveda, for a long and healthy life. Modern science often errs, altering seeds and even human reproduction, creating confusion and sickness. Our natural ways are being lost. Simple, natural remedies exist for common ailments, like dental care using neem or babool. These methods reconnect us to the truth of our bodies and the earth. "These chemical things have also destroyed a great deal on this earth." "Life in the water, the fish, has been affected by petrol, oil extraction, and leaks, causing the death of many creatures."

The Essence of Prāṇa, Guru, and Disciple
9:10 - 10:08 (58 min)
Recorded on
Life is lived in the present through the prāṇa. The past is a memory and the future is unknown; only the present breath is real. Prāṇa is the vital thread sustaining life, persisting even when breath and pulse seem absent. Yogis learn to live with this energy, aligning with natural cycles like sunrise and sunset. Sleep states—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—reveal different layers of consciousness. In deep sleep, there is complete relaxation, while dreams carry impressions from our waking life. A true yogi can navigate these states with awareness through yoga nidrā, transforming dreams. This mastery is rare and comes only through the guru's grace. The guru-disciple bond is the essential conduit for this knowledge, transcending mere physical presence or ritual. "The prāṇa is like a thread; we are hanging on the thread." "Only that yogī, that guru—we call param-gurus—they can give inside one key." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Radiation of Holy Places
10:15 - 10:47 (32 min)
Recorded on
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

New Year's Evening Satsang
12:50 - 13:28 (38 min)
Recorded on
New Year's Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Many cultures count differently the beginning of the new year. The functions of our body are working constantly. When we arrive at the end of our life w die. In reality, there is no time but we counting. We count many functions in our body. Holiguruji said that don't count the days better if you count your mantra. Siva created Brahma and Visnu and he created himself. The water comes from the sweating of Visnu and Brahma created humans. The seven rishis are still in space as seven stars. We should know the line of our family. It is a hard process during those nine months before our birth. In the next life, an elephant can be an ant and vice versa.
Mantra and Guru
13:35 - 14:28 (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

A guide to practicing mantra
15:50 - 16:35 (45 min)
Recorded on
The mala and mantra are a singular technique for deep spiritual journey, distinct from general meditation or physical yoga. The Guru provides this specific path inward. The mala's 108 beads, including the Sumeru, utilize sacred numerology to influence consciousness. Correct handling is crucial: the index finger remains separate while the thumb and middle finger move the beads inward toward the heart. This practice purifies the five sheaths of the body. Materials like Rudraksha or Tulasi carry specific spiritual properties, with Tulasi also offering medicinal benefits. The practice is one of constant remembrance, aligning with the natural balance exemplified by celestial bodies. "The mala itself is the path." "To go very deep inside, there is only one technique the Guru gives: one word or mantra." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga originates from the divine and is for all beings, drawing inspiration from the forms and balances found throughout creation. The practice encompasses postures, breath, and sound for holistic well-being. It is essential to avoid force and competition, progressing slowly and respectfully with the body's natural limits. Overexertion in postures or overconsumption in diet leads to harm. True yoga integrates mindful practice with disciplined living, focusing on gradual elevation over a lifetime.

God is in the whole universe
17:30 - 18:07 (37 min)

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

Karma and bhakti bring us to Brahmaloka
19:30 - 20:16 (46 min)
Recorded on
Bhakti and Karma are the essence of the path. Bhakti Yoga is a supreme and sure path. Many saints, like the farmer Tukārām, attained realization through unwavering devotion and selfless action, trusting completely in divine will. His harvest flourished despite neglect, demonstrating that grace follows sincere bhakti. Yoga practices are good, but success is impossible without devotion. Bhakti requires a completely pure heart, free from all negative thoughts and ego. Ego is a destructive fire within. Karma Yoga, selfless service performed without ego, is Bhakti Yoga. One cannot practice clear Bhakti without Karma, and clear Karma requires Bhakti. They are interdependent. Other yogas like Jñāna or Rāja are good but remain more superficial. The combined path of Bhakti and Karma leads to the highest goal. "Bhakti rodhanā datā dījīyo. O my Lord, give me bhakti, devotion." "Karma sukho śālam. We will be successful when we do something for someone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The door of the Guru
20:20 - 21:06 (46 min)
Recorded on
Compassion is the essential practice, moving beyond "I" and "mine" to serve all life. The primary gift is food for the hungry, human and animal alike, which is giving life. Many traditions exemplify this unconditional service. In some places, all are fed equally without refusal, holding sacred texts in the highest reverence with specific protocols to maintain purity. The core principle is to love, protect, and feed, never to kill. At life's end, the soul departs alone, leaving everything behind. Without grace and refuge in the guiding truth, one remains trapped in the endless cycle of rebirth and suffering. All paths of genuine devotion and surrender lead to the same unity. "Love them, protect them, feed them, do not kill them." "Without the Guru's grace, you will fall into the cycle of 8.4 million [life-forms]." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Science of Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
21:10 - 21:55 (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
Life is ever existing
22:00 - 22:51 (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

Recorded on
Yoga is a lifelong journey requiring correct practice and a true master, not mere temporary physical exercise. Śiva is the primordial source, the consciousness that is the entire universe. He manifested alone, then created Viṣṇu and Brahmā. All three functions—creation, protection, liberation—reside in Śiva. We are that one consciousness temporarily in bodies. Our path is determined by our choices and associations. We must follow the true master in an authentic lineage to ascend; otherwise, we are pulled down by desire and bad company. The chakras map this journey from base consciousness to liberation. "Yoga is a lifelong journey." "A real Satguru is one who has left the body; only then is he a Satguru."
