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

Life is breath, and breath is life. The span of life is preordained and cannot be ultimately prolonged. Physical yoga and breath techniques maintain comfort and health for the body within its allotted time. A story illustrates this: a rishi sought to delay his end by claiming endless study. He was shown that the knowledge of the universe is as vast as the Himalayas, and trying to comprehend it all grain by grain is futile. The appointed time arrives for all. Beyond physical practices lie deeper yogic paths concerning the five elements within us. These practices prepare one for the journey of the soul, which transcends the temporary body.

The inner flame of life is the vital energy within, distinct from physical fire. This prāṇic flame is the essence of consciousness through waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Even in blindness, an inner light perceives through vibration and voice. When the body sleeps or tires, this light dims but retreats into the ātmā, never extinguished. The flame can appear to depart at death, yet life may linger as seen in a bird revived. One must care for this flame through practices like trāṭak and Hatha Yoga, feeding it with sustenance. Great yogis remain awake in meditation even as others sleep, navigating states of consciousness. The soul's journey continues beyond the body, like a flame moving far away. "Where the lamp is gone. And where the flame is gone. That has gone into our ātmā." "Others are awakened, and the yogīs are meditating. And others, they are sleeping. And the yogī is awakened."

Yoga requires a guru for true guidance, not mere physical practice. The Bhagavad Gītā states both the formless and manifest paths are equal, but for embodied beings, sādhanā is easier with a guru's clear instruction. Modern yoga often lacks this, focusing only on āsana and prāṇāyāma without ethical foundations or genuine knowledge. Many teach without having been properly taught themselves. The guru's grace is essential for perfection; techniques alone are insufficient. Avoid negativity and gossip. Strive to be a light. If you cannot do good, at least do no harm, and you will remain on the path. True yoga integrates prayer, ethical living, and the guru's guidance into daily life. "Guru kṛpā hi kevalam—when the kṛpā of the Gurudeva, the blessings of the Gurudeva, that is the greatest." "If you cannot do good, then at least don’t do bad. Then what will happen? We are standing on the path, neither going this way nor that, and then automatically it will go to the white path." Filming location: Slovenska, Slovenia

The wealth lies in the vision of the Guru, a treasure of conscious bliss beyond all ritual. This is the core of spiritual practice. All yoga practices aim to elevate human consciousness to a state of universal love. Begin the day by consciously awakening the body upon rising. Honor the earth as a mother and use water to awaken the nervous system. Greet parents to foster familial unity. Then have darśana, seeing the divine in your spiritual symbols. This conscious approach brings peace to the household. Extend this mindfulness to respecting your food and your work. At work, solidify your roots like a tree endures various conditions; your stability affects others. Even the joyful greeting from a house pet reflects the heart's genuine connection. Knowing "I am human" throughout the day prevents negative actions and fosters mutual respect. "O japā tapa yoga nahīṁ banāyāve, karuṇā nidhi dayā pramāṇave." (Neither repetition, austerity, nor yoga can accomplish it; only the treasure of compassion and grace is the proof.) "Only when we know that I am a human are we awakened the whole day."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Auckland, New Zealand.

The singular path to the divine is universal, yet often obscured. Negative thoughts and worldly conflicts, especially in this age, create thorny obstacles. Merely visiting holy places or performing rituals is insufficient without inner purity. The essential guide is the Guru, who provides the key to clarity. Without this guidance, one remains lost despite all efforts. External appearances and religious labels are not the inner cloth of realization. True progress requires surrender to the master's direction. "Gurāsā bīnā kārīj naisarī"—without Gurudeva, no path will be clear. "I have colored you inside. You do not need the outer dress."

A prayer for healing and reflection on suffering and purification. A collective prayer is offered for all beings suffering from disease. Prayer is a great power and medicine. Actions taken without knowledge, including against innocent animals, require forgiveness. Justice from God may be delayed but is certain. Observing the world suggests those integrating yoga and lifelong vegetarianism show resilience. The human body is sacred and requires care. Modern consumption patterns, like constant eating, are unnatural and lead to disease. Eating less allows for greater vital energy. All people share one earth and must return to it. Political leaders worldwide are working diligently; they deserve respect and support during this time. The ultimate path is to relax peacefully, maintain positive thoughts, and pray.

A time for unity and caution requires spiritual progress. This period brings both celebration and sorrow. While many observe festive traditions, a global pandemic has caused immense suffering. Physical precautions like distancing are necessary for safety. Traditional greetings like namaste respect this need. All prayers, regardless of language or tradition, share a single essence. At death, the soul is liberated from the body and its distinctions. Concepts of heaven and hell are transient states, not permanent. Divine love is unconditional, like that of a parent. The inner light of the soul is universal and identical in all. Current practices must evolve toward deeper, inward meditation. An initiation will be offered to longstanding students to awaken their inherent divine nature, though self-knowledge remains incomplete. Persist in spiritual practice with faith.

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

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Everything is changing in nature in our body and in our mind. The path of yoga will go through nature. All people are equal only difference is male or female. We are different in our feelings but the body is the same.

The Himalayan cave is a site of spiritual austerity and inner transformation. The physical cave is small, requiring one to bow to enter, symbolizing surrender. Its narrow passages were designed for protection, teaching that the heart must not become narrow but expand with joy. The surrounding glaciers and the powerful Alaknandā river embody the elemental principles where fire and water are interdependent. Meditating there, one hears the river's sound and experiences a profound environment where ṛṣis in astral bodies remain unseen. The journey demands inner strength, not physical comforts, and reveals that true sustenance comes from internal spiritual joy, not external sources. This inner development, like generating one's own oxygen, allows one to traverse the terrain. The path is a gradual spiritual ascent, merging the individual into cosmic oneness, where every cell becomes divine. The story of a ṛṣi who wished to finish all Vedas before death illustrates that divine knowledge is as vast as the Himalayas; one must ultimately surrender to the infinite. Spiritual practice is the inner alchemy of purifying the heart, grinding away the ego to reveal the innate nectar and light within, which is our true nature. "The cold becomes hot. That’s why the fire cannot remain without water. And water cannot remain without fire." "Can you count how many grains of sand are in your palm?... This is only a little dust of the Himalaya, but the whole Himalaya is there with us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

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.

Trāṭak is the sixth Haṭha Yoga purification, a practice of gazing on one point to concentrate and purify the sight. It uses a candle flame, a black spot, or the rising or setting sun, never direct sunlight. The flame is placed at arm's length, which strengthens eyesight and helps those who are short- or far-sighted. It trains the mind to focus on one point, calming scattered thoughts and vrittis, leading toward one-pointedness and meditation. Practice requires a peaceful place without drafts or disturbances, wearing loose, natural clothing to contain energy. The ideal flame height is at the heart center, as gazing on the outer light opens the heart chakra and leads to perception of the inner light. Pure ghee lamps are best, but a non-smoking plant-based candle is acceptable. Begin by gazing at the middle of the flame for 30 seconds, then close the eyes to observe the afterimage, repeating this cycle three times. Keep the body and eyes still, relaxing the eyebrow center. Do not practice if overly tired, or if experiencing schizophrenia or depression. "Trāṭak is not relaxation; it is not meditation. It is concentration." "Take this light, this flame, inside. This light is the symbol of the highest Self." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Auckland, New Zealand.

Without the Guru, no work is accomplished. Millions may strive, but none can cross the ocean of worldly existence without that guidance. All beings, from the smallest creature to the greatest, carry the soul within and long for liberation from the cosmic self. Rituals, pilgrimages, and austerities alone are insufficient without true knowledge. The journey of the soul is long, through many births and states, including hell, but all beings will ultimately reach the Supreme. For the human birth, proper upbringing is the essential root. Parents must provide constant love, protection, and conscious education from birth. Limit toys, especially violent ones, and prioritize moral learning, good food, and rest. Choose good friends and teach respect for teachers and country. This conscious care awakens the soul toward the divine. "Guru sā binā kārya naiṁ sare. Koṭi upāya kare, koī chāye, na bhava-sindhu tare." "Give them knowledge, and how to call it, the learning... more important is the parents’ education." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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 path of purification requires the guiding light of the Guru. In this age, inner blackness signifies impurity within the heart and mind. We strive to purify ourselves, but daily thoughts and feelings accumulate like dust upon the inner self. Most people are fundamentally good, yet cleansing the mind is difficult. One may wash the body, but thoughts and dreams remain uncleansed. True relaxation comes not from external roles but from returning to one's essential being. Meditation is the key, yet it cannot be simply given. Many learn techniques, but few truly grasp the essence. Therefore, one requires a Guru for direct guidance to cross the ocean of existence. The destination exists, but each must walk the path. "Without Gurudeva, we will not catch it, we will not get it." "If you wish to cross the ocean, be in the boat... The Gurudeva will bring you to the shore." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

The eternal journey is about faith, divine cycles, and the inner light. Observing the moon's phases brings spiritual energy and blessings. The new moon is a time of great luck, and the eleventh day holds powerful energy for women's rituals. The full moon benefits the earth and is ideal for planting. Celebrations like Christmas involve family, tradition, and the joy of children believing in divine gifts. The tradition of lighting lamps under trees dates back to the return of Rāma. Diwali illuminates India with countless flames. God incarnates in every age, appearing as nimitta for a specific purpose and as nitya, the eternal presence within all. Different religions have holy books and figures, but the living truth is the eternal Sanātana Dharma. The guru-disciple relationship is essential; the disciple is like a drop of water that merges into the ocean of the divine. Through meditation and practice, one realizes the universe within and connects with the inner light.

The practice of yoga unites us with the cosmic self, fostering oneness among all beings. All traditions and religions aim for health and goodwill, especially during holy days like Christmas. These times invite reflection on the past year and prayers for future peace. The core teaching is that all existence is interconnected—humans, animals, and the living Earth. This unity is expressed through the five sheaths, from the physical to the blissful body. Yoga in daily life is this unifying practice from the Satya Yuga, a tool for joining, not dividing. Festivals and traditions worldwide are expressions of this spiritual unity. The ultimate realization is that everything is contained within the one, and the one is within all. "One in all and all in one." "Yoga means uniting. We are joining; we are not throwing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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.
