Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Slovenska vas, Slovenia. How does trinity appear in the prayer mudra. I am in the cosmos and the cosmos is in me. Folded hands mean you and me are one. We always greet God with respect. We don't know when will we get human life again. We can't get back that drop from the ocean which was in your hand before. The story about a young boy in Nepal who was meditating in Buddha. Don't think that your parents after death come back in a form of your child. Short concentration practise.
Practicing Bhari Khatu Pranam
0:30 - 1:31 (61 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the universal movement within all things, from the body to the cosmos. It is not merely postures and breath control; it is the spiritual power within every cell and seed. The entire universe, including the stars and Earth, exists within our own body. The practice of Bārikatu Praṇām encapsulates this through movement, breath, and inner concentration. It consists of specific positions that work on the entire body, organs, and brain, aligning with the energy of the chakras. This practice prepares one for further spiritual progression. First learn this, then Sarvahitāsana, then one may approach Kuṇḍalinī and the Chakras. "Everything is yoga. Do not think it is only yoga postures, pranayama, and meditation—no, not only that." "Bārikatu Praṇām is the greeting, the prayer from our whole being to this place where Śrī Mahāprabhujī resided and where his energy still remains." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Yoga and Shiva Bhagawan
1:25 - 2:03 (38 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the universal path connecting the individual to the cosmic Self through Śiva. Haṭha Yoga is a primary means to reach this state, placing practitioners under Śiva's protection. The mantra "Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya" purifies the entire being; even the shortened "Śiv" aligns with the heartbeat, embedding the divine within. Specific temples house unique Śiva liṅgams, sources of great blessing. Consecrating a dwelling through ceremony is essential to invite positive energy and avoid negative influences. The story of Viṣṇu offering lotus flowers illustrates complete devotion, where the sacrifice of one's own eye fulfills the practice. True vision, Kamalnayan, arises from inner purity cultivated through sādhanā. This purification is the essence of the path. "Śiva is in each and every cell of our body; He is everywhere." "Where there is purity inside, then it is beautiful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Guru leads the disciple to liberation
2:05 - 2:58 (53 min)
Recorded on
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
What does real yoga mean?
3:05 - 3:54 (49 min)
Recorded on
Yoga in daily life is a practice for health, peace, and harmony. Many schools teach yoga, but the path of the ashram is distinct. University education offers knowledge and technique, yet it remains separate from the yogic path. True yoga transcends physical postures. The authentic master resides within the heart, not an institution. Great souls often turn to the ashram ultimately, engaging in selfless service. Historical examples show even the divine bowing to the realized yogi. The Himalayan masters demonstrate the pinnacle of this path, possessing profound inner powers. These powers arise from yogic science, concerning the subtle energy channels within. The central practice involves awakening the Vajranāḍī, the root of all power. "Yogaḥ karma sukhośālam: the successful yogī is one who does karma yoga." "So go to the yogī. Not to the universities. It’s good. Learning is good... But still, the yogī is the yogī."

The real friendship
4:00 - 4:53 (53 min)
Recorded on
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

Mantra and mala are powerful
6:00 - 6:54 (54 min)
Recorded on
The mala and mantra are tools to cultivate inner light amidst recurring negativity. Dust accumulates on the heart as ages cycle, requiring constant cleansing. Great beings provide light for all, yet personal practice is essential. In Kali Yuga, darkness approaches; one must generate light through devotion and practice before dawn returns. Bhakti and seva are paths of devotion and service. The mala is a sacred instrument for mantra repetition. Hold it with the middle finger and thumb, moving beads inward, avoiding the index finger. The 108 beads complete a sacred count. Keep the mala clean and near the heart, treating it with respect as a source of power. Mantra harnesses the tongue's energy for good or ill. This practice transcends any single tradition. "Through this light, we protect ourselves, knowing that dawn will come very soon." "The mala is the power of our whole life. For as many years as you are here, this power is unimaginable." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The first sound came from the ocean
7:00 - 7:36 (36 min)
Recorded on
The primordial sound, Nāda, is the resonant form of the Absolute. This resonance permeates all existence, originating from the cosmic source. The mother of this world is the ocean, the source of life and this foundational sound. Within all beings are dual principles, male and female, which seek balance. The horse symbolizes the complete male principle, revered in sacred rites. A story illustrates this: King Sāgar performed a horse sacrifice, and his sons disturbed the meditating sage Kapila Muni. The sage's wrath turned them to ashes, but through penance, they were restored. This sound from the ocean is used in worship and connects all cycles of time. "The mother of this our world is the ocean. Voda, and life begins from there." "The horse is the complete male. That is the one which you cannot find anywhere."

We are full of resonance
7:40 - 8:34 (54 min)
Recorded on
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. But you have done nothing. You see, it is painful, but you have not done." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Nothing is forever
8:40 - 9:48 (68 min)
Recorded on
The cycle of purification governs all existence. The supreme reality is sound, containing all things. Life presents both fruit and thorns; within every being reside both negative and positive forces. The body is temporary, but the mind and its attachments do not die with it. Souls undergo continual purification, like water flowing from mountain to ocean. A pure soul entering a negative environment is like a fish catching a specific raindrop to form a pearl. Heaven and hell are not permanent destinations but temporary states in an endless cycle, like a wheel where the top becomes the bottom and returns again. This is illustrated by washing a stained garment; through repeated cleansing, even deep stains are removed, and the cloth becomes pure once more. Spiritual practice requires patience and guidance to navigate this cycle and move toward purity. "Mind is very, very restless. Man marā no mamatā marī, mar gayā deva śarīr (The mind will not die, nor will the sense of 'mine'; only the divine body will die)." "Hell and heaven are not permanent... It is a circle, cycling."

Our heart knows the path
9:55 - 10:51 (56 min)
Recorded on
The spiritual path is founded on inner guidance and the necessity of foundational practice. Progress ultimately depends on grace. The path is positive and clean, not concerned with miracles or negative practices. Differences in tradition are only of language and method. The inner self is always good, but perception in the physical world can become obscured, like a thick fog. One can lose the way and wander. The correct path is found within the heart, not as an external definition. The heart and mind must work together. However, staying on the path requires a guide and a tool. Meditation is an internal process, yet instruction comes from outside. A mālā and mantra are essential for direction, like an airplane needing a flight path. The foundation, like the Mūlādhāra chakra, must be strong and deep, or the entire structure will collapse. "The path is within your heart." "Whenever you meditate, you must have your mālā and that mantra." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
How cosmic energy is functioning in us
10:55 - 11:52 (57 min)
Recorded on
The divine sound is the voice in the clouds, heard within the heart and ears. This sound carries the Guru's grace and messages through thunder and lightning, which are principles beyond the material earth. Meditation brings this knowledge inward, connecting the soul to these subtle vibrations. The practice involves the mala, representing the universe and the cyclical nature of prāṇa. True understanding merges the individual soul, or jīvātmā, with the universal ātmā, though this union is difficult to perceive. Mantra practice, even silent internal repetition, aligns the mind with this divine sound. The path requires sincere personal effort, not merely compiling knowledge from books. Relationships, guided by cosmic principles, should foster unity beyond the physical, like the enduring connection of Śiva and Śakti within. "Wherever humans are, they have this sound in their ears." "One in all and all in one." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Practising third level of Yoga in Daily Life System
12:00 - 13:38 (98 min)
Recorded on
A guided practice integrating āsana, prāṇāyāma, and relaxation begins with breath awareness and gentle movement. Settle the body and deepen the breath to receive prāṇa. Coordinate movement with inhalation and exhalation, maintaining inner attention. Practice stretches, Pāvanamuktāsana, and Vajrāsana with focus on spinal alignment. Perform inverted postures like Viparīta Karaṇī Mudrā with care, distinguishing it from Śīrṣāsana. Practice standing āsanas such as Garuḍāsana and Trikoṇāsana with balance and concentration, avoiding force. Conclude with Prāṇāyāma, specifically Nāḍī Śodhana, to purify the energy channels. Chant Oṃ to complete the practice. "Throughout the entire practice, strive to maintain your attention within yourself." "For all balancing postures, it is essential first to calm the mind, and only then can the balancing postures be performed well." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Mala leads us to the Cosmic Self
14:45 - 15:29 (44 min)
Recorded on
The Mālā symbolizes the universal cycle binding all existence. Each bead contains immense cosmic power, representing all beings. The thread is the cycle of ages and elements, connecting every creature. Breaking this thread scatters the seeds, losing unity. All beings, from humans to mosquitoes, possess the same dormant divine fire within. This inner power is equal, whether in an ant or an elephant. The physical mala reflects this cosmic principle within the body, like breath and heartbeat. True practice aligns with this universal cycle, not mere counting. "Each bead of the mala is immense with powers from the cosmic Self." "Whether a little tiny fire or a big fire, it is the same." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

God Rama and Diwali
17:50 - 18:21 (31 min)
Recorded on
The celebration of Diwali marks the divine return of Bhagavān Rāma to his kingdom. This holy time commemorates his arrival after fourteen years of travel. The entire kingdom was filled with light and joy. People lit lamps and offered food along the path. This festival of lights symbolizes that return. It also coincides with the incarnation of Mahāprabhujī. Upon that birth, all lamps miraculously rekindled themselves. The day honors both Rāma, an incarnation of Viṣṇu, and this divine descent. "The whole India is completely full of light. Because that is for the light of the God-dramas." "On the day when Mahāprabhujī was born... all lamps which were there in the flames, again the flames came automatically." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Protect all and get God in your body
18:25 - 19:13 (48 min)
Recorded on
The first sanctuary is the parents, then friends and all living beings, and finally the Guru. God is found within through good actions and knowledge, not in external searching. Parents are the primary protectors and the first temple. A mother endures great pain for her child. This protective love extends to all creatures; animals also fiercely protect their young. Therefore, one must honor parents, love all beings, and avoid harming them. The ideal is to not kill animals for food, though survival may necessitate it. The human journey is to protect others and realize the God within. God resides in the body as life itself. Do not judge others, for such criticism reflects your own inner state. Cleanse your internal garbage. The Guru's grace is an inner light that dispels darkness, as a lamp eliminates the dark around it. All religions and countries are essentially good. "God is in your body. Life is God." "Guru is in you. Light is in you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Bad deeds will lead us to hell
19:20 - 20:07 (47 min)
Recorded on
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
Instructions for meditation
20:15 - 21:00 (45 min)
Recorded on
Meditation requires understanding the three states of consciousness and proper physical preparation. All paths lead to the same ocean of supreme consciousness, which purifies all. What is often called meditation is an outward concentration, like driving a car with awareness in many directions. True meditation requires mastering awareness in the waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states. One must not try to leave the world. The first step is to learn these three levels. For sitting, use a kuśa grass āsana to contain the body's energy and prevent electrical disturbances. Wear pure cotton cloth and ensure the area is free from synthetic materials like plastic. The posture itself is not ultimate; sit or lie in contact with the grass. Use sacred water like Gaṅgā and pure incense resin, not commercial sticks. Store the āsana properly in cotton to accumulate its energy. "The ocean itself purifies all that enters it." "We must become aware of all three." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Guru Itself Parabhrama
22:05 - 22:56 (51 min)
Recorded on
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

A new ashram opens to teach the universal path of yoga, a science of body, mind, and soul for inner peace and health. This place was prepared over many years by volunteers spreading authentic yoga, not as a business. Yoga is an ancient universal science of balance and harmony originating with Śiva, beyond any single religion. It is a tool for modern life, where one must find willpower and time for practice amidst societal haste. The practice requires careful, daily effort without competition, adaptable for all ages and conditions. Its ultimate aim is to realize one's relation with the Supreme, fostering health, peace, and universal brotherhood. The future depends on educating children in this spiritual knowledge. "Yoga is universal. So I see your centers... as centers of universal brotherhood." "Yoga means balance, harmony, and unity." Filming location: Slovenia
