Mantra and Guru
0:30 - 1:23 (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."
"Do not change your gurus. If you change, you will not achieve anything. The guru is one."

Yoga is for all creatures
0:45 - 1:14 (29 min)
Our journey is a spiritual ascent and return toward the Cosmic Self.
Life is a journey from the womb toward the Supreme. We accumulate experiences as we grow. Reaching a peak is like a Himalayan summit, a point of clarity before the descent back down. This cycle mirrors life: we learn to stand, then in age, we return downward. The body and elements are temporary; only the soul continues. God, who is singular and pervasive like the sky, provides our time and space. The ultimate destination is merging with the ocean of Brahman, becoming the endless Cosmic Self. Therefore, consistent practice is essential. Yoga is the paramount path for this union, and it is inherent in all life. Animals instinctively perform their own yoga through movement and cleansing. Humans learn postures from observing animals, proving yoga is for all creatures. Our daily work and exercises are also forms of yoga. The goal is for all expanded existence to melt back into oneness, like elements in a volcano. Through disciplined practice and techniques like Agnisāra, we progress.
"One in all and all in one."
"Yoga is for all creatures."

Past present and future
2:20 - 3:52 (92 min)
The year's end invites reflection on life's purpose and spiritual foundations. Human life is inherently challenging for soul evolution. Collective human actions create karmic pressure on Earth, which returns as global suffering, prompting questioning of purpose. Modern consumer society, distant from natural living, often lacks true life philosophy, leading to selfishness and violence by forgetting Sanātana Dharma's foundational unity. This dharma teaches all beings are connected to one God. Following non-violence is the correct path, as karmic feedback, though delayed, is inevitable. A living Guru embodies these principles, providing a real example of selfless service. In difficult times, one must consciously choose a path of right thought, speech, and action, helping others with a positive heart.
"Human life is always a challenge, because that is actually the purpose of the evolution of the soul."

Where and how the kundalini starts to rise up
4:00 - 4:58 (58 min)
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."

Sunset and sunrise
5:07 - 5:40 (33 min)
The sanctity of Sandhyā, the junction of day and night, is a divine time for prayer and oneness. This period demands the avoidance of all negative thoughts and actions, especially harming animals. The morning Prabhāta holds the same sacred respect. Householders are prescribed prayer at dawn, midday, and dusk, eating before sunset and after morning rituals. Sannyāsīs, while maintaining discipline, possess the freedom for spiritual practice at any hour. The distinction between householder and renunciant life is clear, yet no one should claim superiority, as ego creates separation. All beings, from birds to humans, inherently honor these times. The specific moment for evening prayer is discerned by the natural light where one can see the lines on one's palm.
"During this time of Sandhyā, one should never entertain any kind of negative thoughts, negative thinking, or anything negative."
"God said, 'No. I give freedom, and my door is completely open, wide open. Everyone can come... But during Sandhyā and early morning Pūjā, you all come to me.'"

The Radiation of Holy Places
5:50 - 6:22 (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."

Bhajans awake positive energies
6:30 - 7:02 (32 min)
Awakening to health and awareness is essential in these challenging times.
Negative influences are pervasive, arising from within and without, making protection difficult. Strengthen the body through yogic exercise and proper nourishment. Consume sprouted seeds and soaked almonds each morning. After eating, avoid water for one hour; consume fruit before other foods. Purify your living space, even in cities, by cleaning and allowing filtered air. Practice prāṇāyāma to strengthen the lungs, heart, and brain. Spiritual nourishment from bhajans and satsaṅg is vital for the mind and heart. The bhajan "Chetan Chetan" calls for alertness. We must be aware and wish for good health in all states of consciousness. Positive spiritual practices awaken every cell. Ultimately, you must do the work for your own well-being.
"Chetan means be alert, be aware; you should know."
"Deep means light... Nārāyaṇa is Viṣṇu, Bhagavān Viṣṇu."

Protect the animals
7:10 - 7:41 (31 min)
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."

Shiva will bless All
8:20 - 8:43 (23 min)
The Kali Yuga presents a severe trial, demanding unity. A time of great calamity approaches, with disasters, disease, and agricultural ruin. Yet, a path exists for those with correct knowledge to merge with the cosmic Śiva. Śiva's nature is universally compassionate, embracing all people and religions without exclusion, unlike other forces that may discriminate. Śiva's blessing is the paramount solution. The precious human birth is easily squandered without understanding. Time, once lost, never returns. Therefore, one must remember Śiva constantly through repetition of His names, cultivating real devotion to the inner Gurudeva, who appears in many forms beyond external designations. This devotion is the essential grace.
"Śiva said, 'All of you are very good. Let be.'"
"Human life in this world is very, very precious. If you do not understand and you lose it, then you have no knowledge."

Mahasamadhi Satsang of Sri Mahaprabuji
8:50 - 9:56 (66 min)
The immortal voice of the Guru is present everywhere. Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī resides in every heart and is the entire universe. His words are like precious pearls. The lineage continues through great saints, all of whom have returned to Brahman. The Guru's voice is an immortal story resonating throughout the whole world. It is like nectar from an ocean, coming through clouds to earth. Those who drink this nectar through understanding are freed from birth and death. The Guru sees all life as equal. One must become the humblest to receive this. The voice is eternal and will remain as long as humanity exists.
"Sāre viśva meṁ guñj rahī hai, prabhu kī amar kahānī." — "In the whole world, the immortal story of the Lord is resonating."
"Jisne piyā amṛta manbhar ke... There is no one who comes again, birth and death." — "Who has drunk that nectar fully... does not return through birth and death."

Life is ever existing
10:00 - 10:51 (51 min)
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."

Prana connects us
10:55 - 11:56 (61 min)
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."

Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (6/9)
12:00 - 13:56 (116 min)
A guided practice integrates relaxation, breath awareness, and physical postures. Begin by relaxing the entire body and observing the natural breath without influence. Gently deepen the inhalation, allowing exhalation to happen automatically, imagining the body expanding and contracting with each breath. Use the exhalation to dispel any tension. Inhale light to purify and nourish the body and mind; exhale all unwanted qualities. Feel this light surrounding the body, then focus it at the heart center. Reside there, observing and allowing the heart to open. Let this light spread through the entire being and beyond. Practice Agnisāra Kriyā and Nauli to purify and strengthen the vital energies. Perform āsanas with correct alignment, focusing on relaxation and the breath. Practice Viparītakaraṇī Mudrā to harmonize the glandular system. Sit with a straight spine for prāṇāyāma, such as Nāḍī Śodhana, maintaining a gentle, loving breath without force. Chant Oṁ and conclude with complete relaxation.
"With inhalation, inhale light. With exhalation, you dispel all the used energy, all tension, all your unwanted qualities."
"All the time, be aware of the Guru Gītā. If we force the prāṇa, we will not gain anything, only maybe illnesses."

Returning to Nature: A Call for Natural Living and Ayurvedic Wisdom
14:00 - 14:57 (57 min)
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 Science of Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
15:05 - 15:50 (45 min)
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."

The Essence of Prāṇa, Guru, and Disciple
15:55 - 16:53 (58 min)
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."

The door of the Guru
18:40 - 19:26 (46 min)
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.

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.

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.

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.
Negative thoughts can destroy everything
21:55 - 22:50 (55 min)
The wisdom of Patañjali provides the foundation for Haṭha Yoga. Patañjali systematized yoga, teaching Aṣṭāṅga Yoga to make the path simple. His core principle is "Ahiṃsā paramodharma," meaning non-violence is the highest duty. The ṛṣis of ancient times performed tapasyā in the forest, free from worldly entanglement, establishing the various yogic paths. Patañjali’s text is essential evidence for all seekers. The primary practice begins with the body, ensuring it is healthy. The fundamental work, however, concerns one's mental impressions, or vṛttis. Negative vṛttis, arising from bad association, separate one from the spiritual path and lead to self-destruction, regardless of external practice. Positive vṛttis naturally elevate consciousness. One must vigilantly guard against negative thoughts, especially towards the guru, as they create a fatal crack in one's spiritual foundation. The energy of a true ṛṣi creates harmony, where all beings coexist peacefully. The practice of Haṭha Yoga, including techniques like Nauli, supports physical health and mastery.
"Negative vṛttis, arising from bad association, separate one from the spiritual path and lead to self-destruction."
