We are in a lineage of great saints from the Satya Yuga
0:30 - 1:04 (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.
"Wealth, prosperity, money, properties... all will remain here on the earth."
"When the prāṇa goes out of the body... that jīva will go alone."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. We are not connected to the time. There is only oneness in the oneness. The best way is yoga. Do not meditate on outer things. The development will come by practicing. Shiva puja gives calmness. It is very important how to worship Gurupurnima, tomorrow we are going to show it.
Practical guide to meditation (5/11)
2:30 - 3:47 (77 min)
Meditation is establishing harmony within oneself and with the world. It begins by reconnecting with your own body, mind, and soul, countering the stress of constant external activity. Harmonious relationships with family and society are essential, preventing loneliness and creating a sense of belonging. The practice then inquires into life's purpose and the fundamental question of one's true identity, distinguishing the unchanging self from the changing body and thoughts. This inquiry can be done through passive sitting or active, creative work performed with awareness. Meditation is practiced using a mantra, breath awareness, and observation of thoughts without control, ultimately leading to relaxation and self-knowledge.
"Meditation means to be one with thyself."
"Analyze your thoughts without refusing them."

Visiting Alakpuriji's cave
3:55 - 5:03 (68 min)
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."

Learning from a Guru is more valuable
5:10 - 6:13 (63 min)
The spiritual lineage is sustained by the name, not the physical form. Many seek the title of guru without honoring their own masters. True succession follows the guru paramparā. We worship divine names like Śiva and Viṣṇu, whose forms are unseen but whose names are eternal. The body perishes, but the name remains forever, carrying the lineage from the Brahmaloka. Divine principles like Śiva and Pārvatī exist in equal, non-dual unity, akin to two eyes that cannot see each other but function as one. The inner self, the ātmā, transcends the physical body and its temporary voice. True learning comes not from scholarship alone but from connection with a guru. Helping the elderly and disabled through practice is a supreme spiritual act, greater than pilgrimage. Simple yogic movements maintain mobility and strength.
"The body will go. So when we say, let's say, Śiva, we don't know how he was, and so on, but still we remember the name of Shiva."
"If we can help the elderly people, it is the highest holy place, more than helping the elderly people, more than going on pilgrimage."

Guru leads the disciple to liberation
6:20 - 7:13 (53 min)
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."

Live Balanced Life
7:20 - 8:09 (49 min)
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.

We need a Guru
8:15 - 8:59 (44 min)
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."

How should we start our day?
9:05 - 9:48 (43 min)
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.
Without Gurudev, there is no right path
10:45 - 11:27 (42 min)
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.

Turning black into white
11:35 - 12:12 (37 min)
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."

We are all in God
12:20 - 12:53 (33 min)
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.

We should take one step further
13:00 - 13:33 (33 min)
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.

Shiva is balancing all
13:40 - 14:12 (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."

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.

Bring people to oneness
20:45 - 21:46 (61 min)
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."

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.

A brightly painted cup is there, meant to stand upon a tree stump behind the pond.
