Worship Lord Shiva
0:10 - 1:05 (55 min)
Recorded on
The essence of worship is the offering of one's entire being to the divine. Every soul is born with a spiritual aim but forgets it, seeking happiness in the impermanent world. The solution is to seek the permanent, to seek God, who is formless and within. Ignorance obscures this inner reality like dust on a mirror. In mercy, God assumes forms—as deities, saints, or sacred symbols—to facilitate connection. Worship is offering attention through body, speech, and mind. Any sacred form serves as an instrument for communion, transferring divine qualities to the devotee. The worship of Śiva is an ancient path where the devotee seeks the destruction of negative traits for regeneration. Through ritual, all faculties are engaged, leading to direct spiritual experience. "Namah means I prostrate, I worship, and Śivāya is the name of the great lord." "If we stand in front of the Lord’s picture or sculpture, do not think that there are some dead objects... they are the true manifestation of God in the physical form."

The Awakening of Consciousness: Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
1:15 - 3:09 (114 min)
Recorded on
The science of yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness. Yoga is the eternal balancing principle in the universe, not a religion or dogma. The cosmic vibration, declared as OM, exists within and outside us. Human life is a precious chance within the cycle of rebirth. The human intellect can be trained endlessly, and dormant abilities within are connected to the cakras, or energy centers. The subtle body has 72,000 nāḍīs, or channels, for transmitting consciousness and energy. The mind functions between the subconscious and conscious, taking in impressions that become desires. The intellect's duty is to give judgment. We normally experience three levels of consciousness: waking, dream, and deep sleep. Past deeds create our destiny, or prārabdha karma. The Kuṇḍalinī energy and the cakra system are responsible for developing consciousness and freeing it from subconscious fears. The major nāḍīs are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā, balancing emotion and intellect. Haṭha Yoga unites these sympathetic and parasympathetic principles. The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process of becoming wise and calm, not a physical sensation. The cakras are located along the spinal column and are psychic energy centers. They are connected to the five elements and influence the body. Mastery leads towards liberation, the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. This requires lifelong practice and guidance. "Yoga is not a religion, it is not a philosophy, it is not a dogma, but it is the eternal principle in this universe." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process; you don't feel it as a physical sensation. You feel happy, as if in the lap of the mother." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia DVD 188

We should know where our soul is
4:05 - 4:44 (39 min)
Recorded on
Yoga practice is growing globally as people engage more deeply with physical exercises, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. This inward turn signifies a return to the heart. 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. "The love awakens the perfect self-realization." "Yoga is not only practicing āsanas... we should know where our soul is inside." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Who will liberate us?
4:50 - 5:24 (34 min)
Recorded on
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." "Without Satgurus, we come there, you are not in that knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
We are in a lineage of great saints from the Satya Yuga
5:30 - 6:04 (34 min)
Recorded on
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. "Wealth, prosperity, money, properties... all will remain here on the earth." "When the prāṇa goes out of the body... that jīva will go alone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Oneness
6:10 - 6:42 (32 min)
Recorded on
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. "One in all and all in one." "Without Gurudeva, who can let us cross the ocean of that saṃsāra?" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Shiva is balancing all
6:50 - 7:22 (32 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Kingdom of Sri Alakhpuriji
7:30 - 8:01 (31 min)
Recorded on
Our spiritual lineage is a living river from an ancient source. We adore our roots from the Satyuga and great saints like Ālāpurījī. This path is like the Alaknanda River, flowing powerfully from the Ālakpurījī glaciers. The Pāṇḍavas, over 5,000 years ago, journeyed toward the Himalayas on their final path. They traveled to Badrināth, following the rivers. A deep part of the Alaknanda River became a final symbol; they could not cross it, and Bhīma placed a great rock there. Draupadī died first, then the other brothers, one by one. Their ashes were taken to Ālagpurījī’s cave, a place we have visited. Yudhiṣṭhira, with a dog, received blessings and crossed seven glacial steps to proceed. Ālagpurījī and Devpurījī possessed Siddhi, the power to move through rock. When visiting, one must go slowly, touch the stones, and breathe with the thin air. We are blessed to know these roots. Yoga is beyond the physical; it is the path. Do not seek miracles or compare gurus. Like the river, every drop is part of the oneness. We are all one from Ālagpurījī to the present. "From the lotus feet of Ālag Purījī, this river flows." "Like that river, each and every drop of water from the glaciers comes to that river, and it will go further. Everyone is one." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Be with your Guru
8:05 - 9:20 (75 min)
Recorded on
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."

Jyotish is the fifth of the Vedas
9:25 - 10:29 (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."

How can we become a good yoga teacher?
10:35 - 11:55 (80 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Cetan and acetan
13:15 - 14:11 (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
We shouldn't torture any creatures
14:15 - 15:02 (47 min)
Recorded on
Impurity accumulates like dust, and compassion must extend to all beings. In a pure age, a dog unjustly beaten by a priest sought justice from a divine king. The king assembled the people and the priest, who admitted to the act without cause. When asked for a suitable punishment, the dog requested the priest be reborn as a prosperous temple head. This was not a reward but a setup, for in that life of greed, he would fail to share, leading to future suffering. This illustrates that harming any creature, driven by mere prejudice, creates negative consequences. The current age sees increased violence toward animals, a sign of spiritual decline. True practice involves non-violence, caring for creatures in our charge, and maintaining physical health through disciplined practice. "From the time of the Satya Yuga, people were mostly only eating fruits and vegetables; they were vegetarians." "The dog said, 'I want one sādhu, or some yogī, or somebody like this paṇḍita, and we should give him this punishment: in his next life, he should have a beautiful ashram and become the head of that ashram.'"

The door of the Guru
15:10 - 15:56 (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
Live Balanced Life
16:00 - 16:49 (49 min)
Recorded on
We are in a time of global change requiring balance and discernment. The lunar cycle moves from darkness to light, affecting all nature. This is Kali Yuga, an age of division where hidden negativity surfaces. All previous ages contained both good and bad. People often claim their path is the only good one, like children arguing. The current era sees increasing negativity across the world, manifesting as conflict and disease. This signals a necessary purification and the rising influence of Śiva, the balancing power born from the elements. Spiritual practice, like yoga or chanting, cultivates inner balance amidst external turmoil. "True holy saints do not label things as simply bad or good." "In my position, I will take this vaccine. But it is your choice." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

Bhajans awake positive energies
20:45 - 21:17 (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 is in protect
21:25 - 22:16 (51 min)
Recorded on
A global crisis prompts reflection on humanity's unique spiritual and physical condition. Why does a pandemic target humans specifically, across all nations and beliefs? All creatures possess the same fundamental layers of existence, yet humans alone wield the power of action beyond mere survival. This century's afflictions stem from human karma. The widespread turn to meat consumption after the world wars, increased alcohol use, and the industrial production of food have introduced disease. Consuming such nourishment stores illness within, which may emerge later in life. Even vegetables now contain chemicals. The suffering we see originates from human actions, creating a poisoned environment. This is the age of Kali Yuga, where negative forces are prominent. True religion is self-control, and real yoga extends far beyond physical postures. We must first ensure our own spiritual protection to safeguard others. A great conjunction of planets is occurring, a rare celestial event. The coming Satya Yuga is governed by a divine timescale vastly different from our own. Ultimately, all paths return to the yogic essence within. "Slowly, attacks come. It is like a beautiful, big tree: one or two bugs enter, then slowly worms multiply and eat the entire trunk from within." "Practice yoga and daily life, and sleep very peacefully.

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.
