0:05 - 1:19 (74 min)
The observance of samādhi connects to ancient lunar cycles and the foundational numbers of existence. The system of nine numbers and zero underpins all counting, reflected in the 108 beads of the mālā. Human life is governed by such cycles and the guidance of Jyotiṣa, yet human counting is ultimately a limited construct. The bond of shared salt signifies sacred trust, a principle often broken in the current age. The Guru's grace is absolute and transcends physical departure, as demonstrated by the divine communion between Guru and disciple. The Guru's power is complete and beyond ordinary understanding.
"Jala Dari Aab, Aṭhaṅga Jala Bhariya, Adh Bicha Chalarei Jaj, O Gurudev, my boat is in the middle of the ocean, and you left me. What will happen now?"
"Guru is a guru. Guru can do anything."

It is time to help others
1:20 - 1:51 (31 min)
A global crisis reveals our shared humanity and calls for immediate, compassionate action.
A pandemic has caused widespread suffering. Governments and individuals are striving to respond. This is a time for practical help, not hesitation. Meditation and prayer are valuable, but tangible support for neighbors, the elderly, and children is the greatest necessity. Distinctions of religion, nationality, or wealth must be abandoned for a spirit of oneness. The elderly are our roots and deserve the same care we give to children. Action cannot be postponed. True spirituality is expressed through selfless service to all beings, recognizing the divine unity in everyone.
"Meditation is good, prayer is great, but what is needed just now? That we can help—that is the biggest and greatest."
"We should not say this God or that God or this religion. No. We should give equally to everyone."

We should colour our heart as clean as the sky
1:52 - 2:53 (61 min)
Our origin is a subtle essence from the divine source, and our nature is to merge with the infinite sky of consciousness.
We are a minute part of the whole sky, the first element. Our true nature is that vast, spotless sky, yet we do not know how we took form from the five elements. We must become one with this sky, without any blemish. Our earthly life is temporary; we come from the universe and return like a fleeting fly. Our karma pulls us down, yet we strive to rise. Through layers of being—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—we navigate our karmic impressions. The key to self-knowledge and liberation is found through authentic spiritual guidance and practice within a genuine lineage. Ultimately, we must realize our true nature as that pure, boundless consciousness.
"Who am I? From where am I? But still, we know. We don’t know, but we know."
"We have to become one with this sky. There should not be any spot."

Life Is A Kriya
2:55 - 3:24 (29 min)
Life is a sacred process of purification through prescribed rites. Earth is a realm of action where the soul comes to work towards Brahman-knowledge. The body is alive through action; its cessation is the final act. Vedic tradition outlines sixteen saṃskāras for the human soul, serving as initiations to overcome past karma. These begin at birth, with rites like writing Om on the infant's tongue to bless its speech. Subsequent ceremonies mark key developments: the first solid food, symbolized by immortal rice, and the first haircut. The Upanayana ceremony initiates the student into wisdom near a master, receiving symbolic threads. For a girl, a different saṃskāra honors her as a goddess of prosperity and wisdom. Each rite purifies a karmic layer, much like a snake shedding old skin to move freely. Possessing sixteen kalās (attributes) is likened to being an incarnation. The final rites after death vary, with cremation considered best to release the soul. Other methods, like exposure to elements as in Zoroastrian tradition, are also described. All these rites are a human science for the soul's journey, aiming for true birth into Brahman, beyond the cycle of wandering through various realms and problems.
"My words should be sweet like honey, not bitter like poison."
"Each ceremony is like... the snake liberates itself from the dead skin."

Mahaprabhuji Gives Ability Of Reading

Evning Satsang with MM Swami Jasrajpuriji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Teachings from the holy book Lila Amrit.
Mala leads us to the Cosmic Self
4:00 - 4:44 (44 min)
The Mālā symbolizes the universal cycle binding all existence. Each bead contains immense cosmic power, representing all beings. The thread is the cycle of ages and elements, connecting every creature. Breaking this thread scatters the seeds, losing unity. All beings, from humans to mosquitoes, possess the same dormant divine fire within. This inner power is equal, whether in an ant or an elephant. The physical mala reflects this cosmic principle within the body, like breath and heartbeat. True practice aligns with this universal cycle, not mere counting.
"Each bead of the mala is immense with powers from the cosmic Self."
"Whether a little tiny fire or a big fire, it is the same."

4:50 - 5:17 (27 min)
The eternal presence of the master transcends physical form. Two types of incarnations exist: the recorded Nimit Avatāra and the countless Nitya Avatāra, the holy saints who maintain dharma on earth. Their presence calms the inner fires of negative energies and radiates spirituality that sustains all life. In this age, materialism leads to unhappiness and forgetfulness of life's true aim. The human body and life are priceless gifts. One must not let worldly experiences change the inner self or sever the connection to the spiritual guide. Breaking this chain leads to a fall. At death, one faces the consequences of accumulated karma, leading to heaven, hell, or liberation. A saint's passing is Brahma-līna, immersion into the omnipresent Brahman. Though formless, the master's presence is universal, within every element and atom. Attachment to the limited self brings suffering, while attachment to the all is freedom. Realization depends on the devotee's own devotion and removal of doubt.
"The holy saints calm down this inner fire through their spiritual teachings, through their being on this earth."

Hatha Yoga is in every kind of Yoga
5:25 - 5:48 (23 min)
Haṭha Yoga is the essential, foundational path encompassing all others.
You cannot proceed without Haṭha Yoga. Bhakti Yoga is also Haṭha Yoga inside, for you must maintain unwavering devotion despite emotional waves. Most devotion is selfish and unstable, rising and falling with desires. True devotion must grow constantly, like an airplane ascending smoothly from the runway. It is a test of purity and constancy. The story of the crow and swan illustrates this: the noisy, changeable crow represents fickle devotion, while the silent, soaring swan represents steady ascent. Real devotion requires a pure heart and readiness to surrender completely. The tale of the young girl Karmabai demonstrates this forceful love: she insisted the deity eat her offering, and through her unwavering conviction, it did. Karma Yoga is similarly challenging. Thus, all paths are included within Haṭha Yoga.
"Bhakti yoga cannot be successful without haṭha yoga. And then it must be what we call the real devotion."
"God needs that kind of love... it is the love that is the oneness."

How to purify ourselves
5:55 - 7:09 (74 min)
The foundation of practice is purification and awareness. One must know the proper place for things and act with appropriateness. Common sense is not always taught, so we must learn. We sit and chant without knowing the meaning. Please listen and respect others; be aware of how your actions affect those around you. Good and bad are both within us. We cannot remove darkness by asking it to leave; we must light a candle. Similarly, we must awaken the inner light of knowledge to dispel ignorance. This is our sādhanā. Purification of the body is essential for practice. Fasting is a key method; by not eating for a day, the body digests everything and many diseases are cleansed. This is done for health, though often in the name of spirituality. The first purification concerns nourishment and water. Drink clean water, perhaps boiled and settled. Be mindful of what you eat, avoiding excess. The air we breathe is polluted. Prāṇāyāma is for cleansing the nadis, the energy channels, of this dust. Practice nāḍī śodhana: inhale left, exhale right; inhale right, exhale left. Do this carefully, as incorrect practice can cause harm. Proceed slowly and with concentration.
"Good is within us, and bad is also within us."
"We cannot take off the darkness. But if we light a candle, automatically the darkness goes away."

Shiva will bless All
7:15 - 7:38 (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."

How can we become a good yoga teacher?
7:45 - 9:05 (80 min)
The path of a true teacher requires lifelong practice and mastery, not quick certification. One cannot become a genuine yoga teacher from a short course or a book alone. It demands years of dedicated training under a real guru, similar to the extensive education required for a medical doctor. This is a gradual process of controlling one's own life and nourishment. The practice works by balancing the five sheaths of the body, from the physical to the blissful. Yogic energy is distinct; physical exercise expends energy, while yoga cultivates a balanced, internal source. The mind is like a wild horse that must be patiently tamed with love and persistence over a long period, not forced quickly. Authentic teaching comes from this deep, personal mastery.
"In order to become a yoga teacher... there is a further level."
"You cannot become a guru in some time. Work, work, slowly, step by step."

Prayer for removing all suffering
9:10 - 9:56 (46 min)
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.'"

Be with your Guru
10:40 - 11:55 (75 min)
The essence of spiritual attainment rests solely upon the Satguru's grace. Without the Satguru, no task is accomplished. However many millions of methods one may try, one cannot cross the ocean of worldly existence. Pilgrimages, fasts, and penances are insufficient without the Guru's knowledge. The true wealth is the worship of the Guru. Liberation comes only through surrender of body and mind. The Satguru's blessing is an eternal rain that nourishes devotion where divine efforts fall short. Spiritual practice requires the direct transmission from a true master. Satsang is communion with truth. Modern external gatherings often become distractions, lacking the authentic vibration found only in a genuine lineage. Yoga is universal but must be rooted in the knowledge given by a realized guru from an unbroken tradition.
"Without the Satguru, no work is accomplished."
"Surrender body and mind before the Guru."

A guided practice of deep relaxation, mindful movement, and breath awareness.
Begin by systematically releasing tension from the feet to the face with each exhale. Practice creating and releasing tension in individual limbs, then the whole body, to feel the contrast. Move with slow, deliberate stretches, coordinating each motion with the breath to explore the body's range. Perform gentle spinal twists and core engagements, always moving within a comfortable range without pain. Conclude with focused breathing exercises to purify and calm the nervous system, followed by a period of silent integration.
"Release the entire torso, both arms, the muscles in the neck, and all the muscles in the face as you send the exhale throughout the entire body."

Who will liberate us?
13:35 - 14:09 (34 min)
The unity of all spiritual paths and the essential grace of the guru are paramount. All teachings and religions are one, as all beings are God's children. We respect all holy books and figures, including Jesus on this Christmas day. The divine essence—whether called Viṣṇu, Śiva, or another name—is singular. We must transcend duality, recognizing our shared humanity and fostering humility and peace. The mind must be controlled through yoga. The guru provides the essential knowledge for liberation, surpassing even parental guidance. Life's attachments, like a spider's web, ultimately trap us. At death, no relative or friend can free the soul; only the Satguru can offer true refuge and lead one beyond the cycle.
"Guru Kṛupāhi Kevalaṁ Śiṣyaki Ānanda Maṅgalaṁ. When the Gurudeva is there, the disciple is happy, full of joy."

Be alert and purify yourself
14:15 - 15:23 (68 min)
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.

The door of the Guru
15:30 - 16:16 (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.
"Love them, protect them, feed them, do not kill them."

Oneness
16:20 - 16:52 (32 min)
Yoga is a universal science, yet its practice manifests through diverse traditions and names. All religions and their sacred calendars must be respected, not deleted. Changing time itself, like daylight saving, disrupts natural harmony. Different yoga schools or healing methods are like various names within one body or nation; the essence is one. Physical practices like asana prepare the being, but they do not touch the soul. For that, one must ultimately go to the Guru. The Guru is the final point to cross the ocean of worldly existence, serving as mother, father, and Satguru in the lineage.

Without Gurudev there is no knowledge
17:00 - 17:47 (47 min)
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.

New Year's Evening Satsang
17:55 - 18:33 (38 min)
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.
Jyotish is the fifth of the Vedas
18:40 - 19:44 (64 min)
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."

Shiva is balancing all
19:50 - 20:22 (32 min)
The divine principle of Śiva embodies the universal balance between opposing forces. All traditions worship the one God, who manifests through various forms. Śiva represents the conscious force that maintains equilibrium between positive and negative energies, which coexist in all creation—humans, animals, and nature. These dualities are inherent from birth, like twins with different natures, yet both are sustained within a greater harmony. Our spiritual practice involves recognizing and balancing these inner forces. Physical balance exercises are a direct method to cultivate this inner stability, aligning body, mind, and spirit. Focused postures and breath work prepare us for deeper meditation, fostering contentment and peace.
"One side is what we call the sāttvic and spirituals, the holies... But the others also have that; they are very much doing wrong things, fighting. Yet both have to be balanced, like birth and death."
"In each and every creature, there are two—negative and positive. Not only in humans, but also in other creatures—animals, trees, fish, and everything—they have that nature and are working with it."

Cetan and acetan
20:30 - 21:26 (56 min)
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."

We are in a lineage of great saints from the Satya Yuga
21:30 - 22:04 (34 min)
A divine lineage transmits eternal truth across ages. Many cultures possess unique spiritual expressions, yet one perennial wisdom flows through specific channels. Our lineage originates with Śrī Alakpurījī from the Satyuga. He nurtured countless yogīs and saints. Bhagavān Śrī Devapurījī performed sādhanā in Alakpurījī's Himalayan cave, attaining great siddhis. From him came Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, a source of profound knowledge. Our Sadguru Swami Mādhavānandajī received blessings from Mahāprabhujī from childhood. Preceding generations included great beings, like one who manifested a full moon on a dark night. This continuous lineage connects to the present. Great saints often remain unseen, guiding all creatures. When one finds this path, an inner light of peace awakens automatically. The restless mind must be controlled to realize this.

Ancient teachings reveal a past of purity without animal harm, contrasting with present times. The current age sees a division between those who harm animals and those who love them. Development is measured not by science alone but by compassion and non-violence. The essence of yoga transcends physical practice to connect with the inner soul. A spiritual community mourns the passing of a dedicated disciple, celebrating a life of service and devotion.

Yoga for wellness is the subject, moving from practice to integration for national health.
Yoga has gained global acceptance, increasing India's responsibility. The conference aims to establish policy parameters. Yoga is about holistic wellness, not merely cure. Two key features emerged: the need for integration between traditional and modern medicine, and the need for scientific evidence on yoga's impact on specific diseases. Integration must move beyond co-location to active cross-referrals. The ultimate aim is to use yoga to reduce the number of patients. Generating robust scientific evidence is crucial for global acceptability. The presence of both traditional and modern practitioners signifies the desired integration.
