Gratitude is expressed for the practice and teachings received. The Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna reveals inner tensions, linking body and mind. True understanding comes from consistent practice with guidance. The nature of samādhi is explored, distinguishing between the death of the body and the passing of the soul. The body is a temporary vessel; the essence remains within us. Stories illustrate the profound commitment of advanced practitioners who consciously enter samādhi, demonstrating the soul's power beyond physical form. "Through Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, one learns what tension is and how to release it. My experience is that restlessness of the body means restlessness of the mind." "Passed away is different... they were with us, but now she is within us. That's the difference." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

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.'"

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."

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."

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

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 practice of Trāṭaka extends beyond external gaze to the awakening of inner vision. We clean the physical eyes with Triphalā to prepare. Yet true sight is internal. Most practitioners sit for meditation with closed eyes but lack the technique to see inwardly, like a blind person missing a door while distracted. This inner Trāṭaka is not theoretical; it requires a guru's practical guidance on the subtle channels—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumnā—and centers like the trikuṭī. It is a disciplined focus, akin to a pilot flying by instruments or an archer hitting a target by looking at its reflection. The guru's gaze upon the disciple and the disciple's focused gaze upon the teaching are one. Mastery comes from prolonged practice, not mere intellectual knowledge. "Almost all yoga practitioners do inner Trāṭaka without knowing it." "If you can shoot your arrow, then you are perfect in your Trāṭaka." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Dīvālī commemorates the return of Bhagavān Rām to Ayodhyā. The celebration originates from that event. When the message of his return came, people traveled great distances. As night fell, villagers lit oil lamps to light the path. They decorated trees with food and hung lights. Everyone arrived singing and dancing, without tiredness. The reunion was marked by heartfelt embraces. The following day is for giving gifts and blessings, symbolizing generosity and shared sustenance. The festival of lights represents the inner light of the heart and spiritual love. "People lit oil lamps so those walking would have a path to follow." "When you hug someone, your heart and the other’s heart should meet, heart to heart." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Today's theme is the fifth form of the Goddess, Skandamātā, the mother of Skanda. A demon named Tārakāsura received a boon that only Śiva's son could kill him, believing Śiva had no son. The imperiled gods arranged for Pārvatī to marry Śiva. Their potent seed was carried to Saravana Lake, where the child Kārtikeya was raised. He mastered all knowledge, received divine weapons, and fulfilled his destiny by slaying the demon. Skandamātā is depicted seated on a lotus, holding lotuses and her son, offering blessings. Worshiping her also honors the protective child Kārtikeya. The Guru is the ultimate guide and source of grace, surpassing all other practices. True meditation and worship are rooted in the Guru. Purification of thought and action is essential, as our current life is shaped by past karma. We must strive for sattvic purity. "Her powers are that she removes all demons and negative energies from you." "Therefore, when a guru's kṛpā is there, all negativity will be set aside." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The human path requires living by human qualities and purification through practice. We possess a superior brain but often act with cruelty, especially towards animals. Our negative actions, like polluting water and modifying seeds, harm all life and ourselves. This contributes to suffering and the cycles of birth and death. Techniques like meditation, yoga, and prāṇāyāma exist to cultivate respect, love, and harmony. Purification removes negative energies from the body. Traditional practices, including ceremonies and mindful living, support this. We must examine our actions and diet, as they influence our future states. The current age challenges these human qualities, making conscious practice essential. "Therefore, what yogis begin to practice are techniques of meditation, yoga prāṇāyāmas, yoga āsanas, yoga kriyās, etc. Many beautiful techniques exist for humans to remain with human qualities." "Prāṇa gayā to sab kush gayā. Prāṇa has gone, everything has gone. And as long as prāṇa is... there we are, life in this is the body." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Evening satsang with Swami AvatarpuriJi from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Why you should never doubt your Guru? A story about Lord Shiva. If you do good karma in a previous life you will get the fruits in this life. Karma is always coming back. Even Lord Rama and Lord Krishna had a Guru. Mauna makes you happier inside. Singing Bhajans.

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."

The earth is a shared home, and purity is the path to harmony. Countries are human constructs; we are all children of one earth. A global pandemic emerged, affecting humans profoundly. Inquiry reveals that dedicated practitioners of yoga and a sattvic, pure lifestyle—avoiding meat, eggs, and alcohol—were not affected. This indicates a truth: a life of yoga, meditation, harmony, and non-violence aligns with our clear human purpose. The human soul is the final stage in a cycle of countless lifetimes. The challenge is to escape this wheel of rebirth through spiritual understanding. Respect all life, for every creature feels pain. Modern distortions equate "high society" with impurity, but true elevation is humility, kindness, and helping all. "Animals do things to animals, but we humans should know better."

A sacred place is imbued with a saint's enduring spiritual presence. The energy from where a holy person walks enters the earth and remains for ages. This location is connected to the Guru across space through Guru Pūrṇimā and satsang. It is a high spiritual place for practice, where one may even see visions of the saint who stayed here. Touching this earth connects one to its pure energy. The value of being here is divine, beyond any monetary cost. We are in this spiritual environment together, as if in a pond, regardless of our activity. The Guru is always present. "The energy from where a holy person walks and steps goes deep into the earth. It does not matter how many ages pass; it will remain." "Spirituality is not money; it is the divine. The divine is more than gold or diamonds or anything else."

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.

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.

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?"

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

World peace is in our hands. Our world is increasingly turbulent and ambiguous, requiring more than linear answers. We must create resilient societies focused on shared peace and well-being. A world without peace, equitable wealth distribution, and planetary care will not survive. Achieving these goals requires every individual to become a responsible, active global citizen. My country is designing a new societal vision with its citizens, integrating this into our strategic development. We are committed to being a responsible global actor by implementing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. This includes striving for poverty eradication, gender equality, human rights, and environmental protection at all levels. Peace requires good intentions, cooperation, and inner balance. The best way to achieve that inner coherence is through yoga. Ultimately, our collective action determines our future. "A world without peace will not survive.

True health requires integrating physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being, which modern life disrupts. Our unnatural lifestyle causes chronic stress, damaging our organs and leading to widespread disease. Yoga is a holistic, evidence-based system addressing this. It works on three levels: conscious practices like meditation influence the cortex; prāṇāyāma calms the subcortical autonomic nervous system; and āsanas affect the peripheral organs. This integrated approach combats key modern ailments. Memory loss and dementia are epidemics, worsened by our reliance on technology and poor diet. Yoga, along with a vegetarian diet rich in healthy spices, is scientifically shown to preserve memory and prevent cognitive decline. Similarly, yoga techniques are proven to alleviate and prevent depression by fostering present-moment awareness. By restoring balance across all levels of our being, yoga guides us toward self-realization. Understanding our connection to others allows us to live in peace.

All paths converge to a single essence. Different masters and gods are like separate drops that ultimately enter the ocean. From that ocean, differentiation arises again, just as water evaporates to form clouds. The purpose is to understand why some return quickly while others fall far away. A story illustrates this: seeds ground between two stones become flour, but a handful near the central hook remain complete. Those who surrender at the holy feet are like those seeds; they are not ground but come to the highest. Another story tells of a yogi saddened by slaughter; in meditation, it was revealed the karma belongs to the actors, not the witness. Satsang attendees are already there and will reach the supreme. The sound within, like the ocean's resonance, is Nādarūpa Parabrahma. This vibration is in the whole universe and within all. Do not sit passively like a dead body; respond and awaken to this sound. "Those who come to the Gurudevs, or your God, or your temples, or your church—where we are at the holy feet of the gods—they will not be ground." "It is their karma, and they will get it back again.
