Prayer helps us further on our path
0:00 - 0:57 (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
Mahasamadhi Satsang of Sri Mahaprabuji
0:05 - 1:11 (66 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Without Gurudev there is no knowledge
2:10 - 2:57 (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
Past present and future
3:05 - 4:37 (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."

Be alert and purify yourself
4:45 - 5:53 (68 min)
Recorded on
The fundamental reality is oneness, a single divine consciousness from which all arises. Every day is divine, yet human minds create separation where none exists. All creation emanates from one source, like countless drops from a single ocean. The individual soul and the supreme soul are not two. The purpose of human life is to awaken from unconsciousness to this truth. One must purify the body and mind through awareness, meditation, and selfless action. All material possessions are left behind; only the consequences of one's deeds accompany the soul. Therefore, cultivate constant awareness. "One into the one, so the whole space is one, and we are also only one." "All this will remain here. You can’t even touch. The body will not go together; anything from the body will go."

Jyotish is the fifth of the Vedas
8:25 - 9:29 (64 min)
Recorded on
Yoga begins before Śiva, in a primordial state of space and consciousness. This state holds the three principles of balance, harmony, and control. From this, the five elements—space, fire, air, water, earth—emerge. Śiva is these elements, having no father or mother. The true horizon of understanding is always receding, like water seen on a distant hot road. The self is not merely the body or mind. The soul departs alone, without fear. The current age brings purification through challenges, guided by Śiva's balancing force. Jyotiṣa, the fifth Veda, offers guidance through life's constellations, such as in naming or marriage, but requires great learning. True progress depends on the guru's knowledge, not self-proclaimed realization. Practice extends beyond physical postures to understanding the elements within. "Where is the horizon? We will try to go as far as we go, try to come as far as we come, to close the horizon, it goes further." "Without knowledge of the Guru, nothing can be achieved."

New Year's Evening Satsang
11:15 - 11:53 (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.
Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (5/9)
12:00 - 13:31 (91 min)
Recorded on
A guided practice integrating Sūrya Namaskār, āsanas, Prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Begin with Sūrya Namaskār, synchronizing breath and movement to generate warmth. Feel its influence on body, breath, and mind. Practice dynamic movements to deepen postures, adjusting speed to warm the body. Then practice Kāṭha Praṇām to feel its distinct influence. Proceed to specific āsanas like Aśva Sañcālanāsana and Meru Ākāra Nāsana, moving with awareness and avoiding strain. Feel each posture's effect.

Conclude with meditation, repeating a mantra or performing mental worship to cultivate stillness and awareness. "Feel the complete influence of Sūrya Namaskār on the body, on your breath, on your mind." "Visualize that with each exhalation, all toxins leave the body, and with each inhalation, health, happiness, and contentment enter." Filming location: Umag, Croatia
Protect the animals
13:35 - 14:06 (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
Returning to Nature: A Call for Natural Living and Ayurvedic Wisdom
14:10 - 15:07 (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."

Try to open the lock
15:50 - 16:09 (19 min)
Recorded on
Oneness is the divine reality encompassing all beings. We exist as a small part of a vast creation, living in water, on earth, and in the sky. The Supreme has brought all life into being. Humans, as God's children, were given divine capability. Yet, claiming independence led to negativity and conflict. The solution is likened to opening a locked mala. The divine Name serves as the key to this lock. By focusing on a single, sacred name, one accesses the treasure within. This practice transcends all divisions, restoring harmony. "God gave everything to their children... What God can do, the human can do everything." "The best is on this one name... That is the best name." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Karma and bhakti bring us to Brahmaloka
16:15 - 17:01 (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
17:05 - 17:51 (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

Bhajans awake positive energies
18:50 - 19:22 (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
Shiva will bless All
19:30 - 19:53 (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
Cetan and acetan
20:00 - 20:56 (56 min)
Recorded on
The call is to move from unconsciousness to conscious knowledge. We face darkness like the pandemic, but we protect and harmonize, not fight. Light a lamp; the sun will rise. Many worship a formful God, others a formless reality, but Krishna says there is no difference—form is just easier to start with. Yoga is more than body movement; it requires scripture, discipline, and knowledge. A difficult time is coming, but Shiva Shakti will harmonize and separate negative from positive. The Guru's grace, both formless and formed, guides from within. Now is the time to be alert. Consciousness (chetan) means being aware even with eyes closed; unconsciousness (achetan) can occur even while awake, leading to harm. Do not be the ignorant one (ajñānī) who acts with inner anger. Knowledge (jñāna) is the aim. The Guru teaches like a mother correcting a child. This alert knowledge is the foundation; meditation is carrying this awareness into all action. It is not merely lifelong technique, which is just breath. The choice is now. The Guru—mother, father, teacher, sage—will guide. "O my soul, do not be without knowledge. Don't be an ajñānī." "Be alert now. Ab, just now, not tomorrow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Sunset and sunrise
21:00 - 21:33 (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.'"

The Essence of Prāṇa, Guru, and Disciple
21:40 - 22:38 (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
Spirituality and joy
22:40 - 22:57 (17 min)
Recorded on
Spirituality is the essence of joy and oneness. It arises from the harmonious union of fundamental principles within nature. The earth provides a maternal foundation, while a paternal energy of light and life animates existence. This union represents the divine source. True spirituality manifests as purity, humbleness, kindness, and peace. Its absence is marked by conflict and suffering, as seen in fractured relationships. We often seek joy externally, yet authentic spiritual joy is found only within. It is the inner state cultivated through harmonious understanding. "Spirituality: purity and humbleness, kindness, peace, understanding, oneness." "Spirituality is what we call the joy. Joy is only within ourselves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
A Divine Call and the Search for a True Guru
23:00 - 23:48 (48 min)
Recorded on
A divine call initiates the search for a true guru. A vision of Śrī Kṛṣṇa repeatedly requests kheer, compelling its preparation for a visiting saint's gathering. At that satsaṅg, the saint addresses a devotee by name, revealing profound awareness. When asked if one has a guru, the answer emerges from the heart: one is seeking a true guru. Following given addresses leads to an ashram in India. There, a phrase is heard in sleep: "There is nothing in the jīva, but go to the nitya." Travel continues to another ashram to meet the holy guru. An overwhelming energy is received upon meeting. A book is offered, and through grace, the ability to read Hindi is granted. Mantra-dīkṣā is received on a Thursday after offering fruit. Disregarding advice on travel days leads to immediate difficulties, demonstrating the importance of the guru's word. Returning home brings incessant tears and a longing for the ashram. The guru's loving permission allows return. Translations of sacred texts are undertaken as service, a gift enabled by the guru. Further travels and stays in ashrams follow, filled with divine experiences, protective grace, and deep seva. The guru's presence is ultimately felt permanently within the heart. "Have you got a guru? I have not got a guru, but I am looking for a true guru." "For a daughter to come to the father’s house, you don’t even have to get any permission. You can come whenever you want to come." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand
Development and Destruction
23:55 - 0:42 (47 min)
Recorded on
Today is Hanuman Jayanti, celebrating the birth of Hanuman. He is the supreme devotee of Lord Rama, embodying immense strength and devotion. As a child, he leapt towards the sun, mistaking it for a fruit. He later forgot his powers due to a curse but remembered them when needed to serve Rama, flying across the ocean to Lanka. His devotion is the ideal. The spiritual path involves two directions: Uṭhān and Patan. Uṭhān is ascent, development, and growth towards fullness and divinity. Patan is descent, distraction, and loss, leading to conflict and suffering. One must consciously choose the upward path. The Guru's discipline is the necessary fire and hammer that refines the disciple, melting the inner heart like gold to reveal the divine. This rigorous shaping is an act of grace, preventing a fall into spiritual oblivion. "Wherever Lord Rāma was, Hanumānjī was beside him." "If you want to become gold as God, then you have to go under the hammer." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
