God is in the whole universe

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."

We should be together

Yoga is a single path of awareness, open to all regardless of external form. Its essence is inner awakening, not merely physical postures. Many techniques exist, from gentle breathwork to strong asanas, but practice must be adapted to one's capacity and health. The true color of a yogi is internal, a commitment to awareness that transcends robes or householder status. This alertness, like a skilled driver fully present, is the core of practice. All possessions and attachments are temporary; only the soul proceeds. Therefore, harmonize in oneness, using yoga for holistic well-being without sectarianism. Practice wisely, respecting the body's limits and seeking proper guidance. "Yoga is only one, and it is not only physical movements; there are more techniques, and all is called yoga." "All will be here. At that time, the jīv, your ātmā, your jīvā, will go alone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Self is happiness
1:20 - 1:58 (38 min)
Recorded on
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect. "If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere." "The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 155b
Shiva will bless All
2:00 - 2:23 (23 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Practical guide to meditation (8/11)
2:30 - 4:31 (121 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the universal principle of the energy that harmonizes consciousness and space. The endless universe, Anant Brahmāṇḍ, is pure consciousness unified with space. Between consciousness and space exists a balancing Śakti, the yoga energy or yoga māyā. This invisible energy creates, maintains, and dissolves all manifestation. That supreme consciousness, one with this energy and space, is the body of Śiva. The first resonance from that consciousness is the sound Aum, from which all creation manifests. This same yoga śakti harmonizes every system within the five-element body and the individual soul. One is part of this cosmic play and must turn with it. Realization of this unity is the aim. Until then, rebirth continues according to karma, not by personal choice. Human life is an opportunity for this realization through love and spiritual practice. Physical postures and breath are merely a way toward this yoga. The presence of a master or meditation on the guru aids this upliftment. Purify the heart. What you wish from others, you must first give. "The beauty is indescribable, the light is indescribable, but there is no moon and no sun." "The flower which I want to surrender to you, I could not find that flower." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Past present and future
4:35 - 6:07 (92 min)
Recorded on
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." "All ethical teachings and moral rules are based on Ahiṃsā Paramodharma."

Without Gurudev there is no knowledge
6:15 - 7:02 (47 min)
Recorded on
True spiritual knowledge and power come only through the guru's grace and disciplined practice within the lineage. The systematic techniques, like Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, are of rare quality and lead from the physical to the cosmic. This path is not about worldly knowledge but divine devotion, uniting practitioners beyond religion. Success requires the guru's blessing and correct practice within the paramparā; mixing or altering the teachings leads to failure. A true guru knows and guides the disciple, often invisibly, and the connection is magnetic. These powerful techniques are not for casual teaching or daily use; they must be preserved and transmitted only by those properly authorized. The disciple's sincere practice attracts the guru's grace, which is as specific and nourishing as a mother's milk for her child. "Without Gurudeva, no knowledge can be." "Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam. Only by the blessing of Gurudev." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The door of the Guru
7:10 - 7:56 (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
Karma and bhakti bring us to Brahmaloka
8:00 - 8:46 (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
Prayer for removing all suffering
8:50 - 9:36 (46 min)
Recorded on
A shelter exists amidst the turbulence of this age. Natural disasters and pandemics manifest as signs of the Kali Yuga. Astrological constellations foretell these events, which occur regardless of belief. The divine serpent Śeṣanāga, upon whom Viṣṇu rests, causes earthquakes and cyclones through its movements. This same entity also provides universal protection, like the sun that shines for all. Invisible sages and divine beings work to maintain balance. Prayer and mantra practice across all faiths invoke this shelter, offering peace and control. The current sufferings are acknowledged, and collective prayer is directed for relief. "It is said that in the ocean, under the ocean, there is Viṣṇu." "Believe or not believe, but when it happens, then you will say, 'Yes, there is something.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
A guide to practicing mantra
9:40 - 10:25 (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 has given two feet for standing, not the head for standing." "In yoga, there is no competition." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Sunset and sunrise
11:20 - 11:53 (33 min)
Recorded on
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.'"

Bhajans awake positive energies
12:00 - 12:32 (32 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Protect the animals
12:40 - 13:11 (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

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from weekend Yoga Seminar in Novo Mesto, Slovenia. We are all like paras. We can create good qualities in others. When paras touch the iron it becomes gold. Guru is more than paras, Guru can transform the disciple into Guru. If not, either Gurudev is not right, either there is a distance between the Master and disciple. The physical body is called annamaya kosa, while the energy body is called pranamaya kosa. Water is water in each of the forms. Similarly, Soul is one.

Prana connects us
18:10 - 19:11 (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
Wherever you are Gurudev is with you
19:15 - 20:09 (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."

The Essence of Prāṇa, Guru, and Disciple
21:05 - 22:03 (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
