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

The tree of life stands as a constant shelter for all beings. A great tree endures all seasons, offering shade and refuge. Countless creatures live within its roots, climb its trunk, and nest in its branches. It provides leaves, flowers, and fruits, giving its body as food and oil. Even when stones are thrown or its wood is burned for warmth, the mother tree endures and gives. A story tells of an old, proud tree felled by an axe with a wooden handle, showing how one's own substance can be turned to destruction. Yet the tree's essence is eternal; a fallen leaf carries the seed for new life. The tree declares its eternal presence, a protector in whose lap all existence rests. "All twelve months we go through different situations, but we are all in our family, in our house, we are there." "No one can burn me, no one can destroy me. I am eternal. As long as the earth is, I am with thee." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect. "If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere." "The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 155b

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 human condition is a divine gift, yet we exist in a state of moral ambiguity, believing our actions are good. The soul enters a physical form endowed with five sheaths, or kośas, beginning with the Annamaya Kośa, the physical body composed of elemental energies. All life, across 8.4 million creatures, shares the same essential jīva, or life force, cycling through existence. Life sustains itself through life; the inner fire of hunger necessitates this. The ultimate reality is singular, referred to by many names—Allah, Brahma, God the Father—yet is not a physical being. Conventional heavens and hells are not separate realms but different conditions within creation. The ethical path is to avoid harming others, to forgive, and to transcend the five sheaths, which encompass the physical, energetic, mental, wisdom, and bliss bodies. "It’s not only one God. Finally, there is only one." "There is no heaven. Heaven and hell are one room and another room." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. If somebody comes from the Bramalokka to the Earth he shows what is right and what is bad. Great saints have a very short name. The name is more valuable than the body. Hanuman is also a very great saint. It would be good to show Ramayana film bet now there is no permission. Sri Devpuriji told that he will go to the Brahmaloka but Mahaparbuji also felt that time exactly. Explanation of bhajan Sataguru Kahi Bisarya Sa Maharaj. Practising Sarva hitta asanas led by Swami Umapuri.

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

A journey unfolds from personal crisis to spiritual awakening through the Guru's grace. A life in America, surrounded by material pursuit, led to physical injury and deep questioning. Searching for healing introduced a reluctant yoga practice. Discovering a book compelled a journey to New Zealand, where a meeting with the Guru felt like a destined reunion. The Guru's instruction to teach and later to open an ashram was initially resisted but ultimately accepted. Teaching Yoga in Daily Life in the West reveals a society where yoga is often mere gymnastics and core values are crumbling. The current global situation acts as a collective tapasyā, forcing introspection. True yoga is not sequential postures but the purification of all layers of being, integrated into daily life and simple human interactions. "Everything is just crumbling. How can it get any better?" And Gurudev just said, "Put it in the fire." Tapasyā. "I practice Yoga in Daily Life. That’s my job on Wall Street." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sandhyā is the sacred meeting point, connecting light and darkness, form and the formless. This junction is essential for all life, as creatures and plants depend on the cycles of day and night. The practice of Sandhyā is a form of worship where one cultivates purity, avoiding negativity. Human spirituality navigates two paths: sākāra, worship with form, and nirākāra, the formless. Both are valid, yet the form provides a necessary foundation for most. Without the tangible—the mother, father, guru, or deity—the spiritual journey can become barren. True worship, though directed outwardly, is ultimately an honoring of the self. The goal is to move from darkness to light, but this requires the embodied experience. Qualities like knowledge, austerity, charity, character, and patience are essential for this journey. A story illustrates four types of people regarding wealth: those with it neither here nor in heaven; those with it only in heaven; those with it only here; and those blessed with it both here and there, gained through righteous living and generosity. "Sandhyā is a meeting between mother and child, and it is a meeting between mother and father." "Bhagavān said, 'as long as you cannot understand properly, then you should see the form.'"

We practice Vajrāsana and Vīrāsana for the nāḍī systems. Vajrāsana activates the Vajra Nāḍī, which begins between the big and second toe, connects to the base of the spine, and guides energy to the navel. Sitting in it after eating aids digestion and can help with constipation by relaxing the stomach and straightening the spine. It also balances the sciatic nerve. Vīrāsana, the hero's posture, involves sitting on the heels with toes standing. It warms the body, increases alertness, and with practice, can help repair digestion and headaches. These postures strengthen the lower centers and foot soles, which connect to the body's organs. They develop leg strength, balance, and concentration. Practice must be held steadily to awaken the nerves. "This Vajrāsana is designed especially to strengthen or to activate that Vajra Nāḍī." "This will repair our digestion. This will repair our headache problems, also many, many things." Filming location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Awakening is the first step to yoga, beginning with humility and respect. Upon waking, a light opens in the heart, bringing knowledge to the brain, making us aware. This awakening recognizes "I am human," an awareness shared by all creatures. The next acknowledgments are to God, then to Mother and Father. The earth is our mother, the sky our father; we exist between them, supported by both. A yogi once asked the distance between earth and sky. The answer is from the foot on earth to the top of the head. Our steps are on the mother earth, under the father sky. Yoga is not merely postures but the journey where all diversities, like rivers, merge into the one cosmic Self. Practice begins with the intention to do only good. "From earth to sky, where our foot is on the where? Earth. And where is the height of the sky? Only till the head." "When we practice the āsanas, we imitate... the art-typical posture of the natures... we get rid of those karmas." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

Maintaining a joyful heart is essential, especially during challenging times. The current global depression stems from a collective error. This situation arose because humanity alone was affected, prompting reflection. Many have turned inward, discovering family and abandoning harmful habits. Depression has become widespread, closing hearts and mouths. The practice of Yoga in Daily Life offers a path forward, emphasizing openness and relaxation. Laughter is a powerful tool to reopen the heart. True beauty and wellness are found within, not through external adornment. The physical body, while important, is just one layer of our being. "People have turned very much inward. They understood what family is." "Beauty is your heart, beauty is your words, beauty is your behaviors." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

The soul's eternal search is for the master, the guru, who provides the essential inner knowledge. Yoga has existed since the beginning. The soul comes from the universe, developing practice in the cosmic realm before arriving on earth. Its nature is pre-ordained. Each soul has different inherent tendencies. This soul is searching for the guru. There are two kinds of knowledge: worldly education and the inner lecture from the master. That inner quest awakens the feeling of searching. A destined opening occurs, creating a longing to learn. Worldly knowledge, while good, is insufficient. Without the guru, no work is complete. One may try countless methods, but cannot cross the ocean of existence alone. The true guide comes from the Brahmalokas. "Without Gurudeva, no one can do it." "Without Gurudev, we cannot succeed."

The key to our future is universal unity and peace. I witnessed this spirit in a crowded square where people of all languages smiled together, a vision for our world. Achieving this requires not just public desire but political will. Prague has a historical legacy of promoting peace, from medieval delegations to modern nuclear agreements. Our world faces civil wars, climate change, and threats from weapons and terrorism. I work with parliamentary networks seeking pledges from nations to not be first to use and to reduce nuclear arsenals, aiming to lower global risk. Support these efforts.

The means are the end; the purity of the instrument determines the outcome. Life initially teaches non-violence through powerlessness, when a violent response is impossible. Yet true understanding comes with maturity. Society focuses on ends, neglecting means. This creates fundamental questions: can war bring peace or violence bring justice? The answer is no. Wrong means always yield wrong ends, for the means become the end. A seed becomes the tree. Hatred breeds hatred; violence breeds violence. Only non-violence, born from compassion, breeds compassion. Some claim wrong means bring wealth and power, while right means bring struggle. But happiness is a peaceful mind. Those using right means possess this peace and live in the present. Those using wrong means have disturbed minds, living in past or future. To follow non-violence requires immense patience and faith. It is a slow, complete cure like Ayurveda, healing from within like yoga. "There are countless reasons for which I can give my life, but for no reason can I kill a person." "Happiness is a peaceful state of mind." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

True devotion manifests as humility, removing all pride. Human brotherhood requires harmony, not conflict. Respect all paths while seeking unity. Great teachers like Mahāprabhujī and Devpurījī bestowed blessings and knowledge, leading many to happiness and prosperity. Their nature was divine and humble. Devpurījī, embodying Śiva, lived with utter simplicity, performing miraculous acts to teach. He once provided water from dry sand and restored a buried animal to life. These acts demonstrate divine grace accessible to the devoted. A proud king claimed no one suffered in his kingdom. God tested him as a beggar, revealing the king's hidden ego. The lesson is that pride blinds one to the divine presence. Therefore, never think "I am good." Abandon ego and negative speech. Cultivate humility, for God resides there. "One should never be proud and not think, 'I have everything.'" "Don’t say to anyone, 'Go away, you are a bad person.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
