The Radiation of Holy Places
1:55 - 2:27 (32 min)
Recorded on
A pilgrimage is a journey of the heart to purify oneself at a holy place. I have been here for three months, observing the great atmosphere and disciplined bhaktas. We welcome you to this beautiful day at our āśram. Many came from various countries, all respectful and healthy. Our programs and satsaṅgs were successful, with space for hundreds while maintaining distance. I feel great devotion and recall our pilgrimage to the Himalayas. We traveled with hearts full of longing to step on India's holy soil, to see the Gaṅgā, which is more than a river—it is a mother. We journeyed to Badrinath and toward Alakpurījī's cave, where the terrain was harsh but the bhaktas' feeling was pure love and unity, beyond comfort or facility. The essence is bhakti—devotion is all one needs, not material wealth. We ask our Gurudev to be with us as we make our prayer. "One who goes to the holy place... they are going from the heart, and they are making their heart pure." "Dear Gurudev, give me only devotion... Money is nothing, money goes out of the hands, it will come again, but in the heart... I need the bhakti." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Path of Discipline: From Diet to Meditation
2:30 - 4:05 (95 min)
Recorded on
The path to supreme consciousness requires strict discipline, as taught in Raja Yoga. Patañjali guides aspirants step by step, but the first condition is self-discipline. Without it, no practice leads to realization. The greatest obstacle is laziness, which must be conquered. Six inner enemies—desire, anger, pride, greed, delusion, and ego—hunt the aspirant like lions. One must not be a slave to desire. Therefore, ancient research began by controlling diet. Unnatural food creates anger, jealousy, and greed. A vegetarian diet of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fresh milk creates a pure, healthy body. Greed must be avoided; take only what you need. These dietary practices support meditation, which is the way to inner peace. Mantra repetition, received from a true master, is essential; it purifies consciousness. Use a mala for counting mantras, and practice with love and devotion. Fasting once a week develops discipline and purifies the body. For meditation, sit in a proper posture, use a mudra, and harmonize with your environment before beginning. "Without discipline, you will not reach your point of realization." "Meditation is the way to inner peace, the way to contentment, the way to happiness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Nothing is forever
4:10 - 5:18 (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."

How cosmic energy is functioning in us
5:25 - 6:22 (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
Our heart knows the path
6:30 - 7:26 (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
Mantra and mala are powerful
7:30 - 8:24 (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
We are full of resonance
8:30 - 9:24 (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
The real friendship
9:30 - 10:23 (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
Bad deeds will lead us to hell
10:30 - 11:17 (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
Protect all and get God in your body
11:25 - 12:13 (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
Try to be innocent
12:20 - 13:07 (47 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the path of returning to oneness, merging the self into the Supreme. All beings, through different paths, ultimately converge like rivers to the ocean. The journey begins from birth, where a mother's care and a father's guidance are the first lessons. This innate purity and innocence are the foundation. Meditation is not a rigid practice but a return to that comfortable, natural state. However, the inner journey requires directing consciousness upward. Energy must ascend through the central channel; if it descends, one becomes lost in worldly emotions and loses vital force. The goal is to rise to the highest consciousness, not to be pulled downward by transient thoughts and feelings. Stay on the path, for leaving it in search of another leads only to exhaustion. True guidance comes from within and from all who point toward the Supreme. "Like clouds become rain, water flows on earth, collecting into creeks, rivers, and finally one great river whose power finds its path back to the ocean. Similarly, we all, in different ways, return to oneness." "In your meditation, how do we meditate? We go up through the cakras. If you go down, you are lost." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Be within thyself
13:15 - 14:00 (45 min)
Recorded on
True meditation is found within, not in external pursuits. External experiences are temporary, like falling leaves or pictures of food that cannot satisfy hunger. The source of lasting peace and power resides inside every person. Looking outward in meditation is like a father distracting a child with promises; the comfort is fleeting. A seeker performing many rituals found no peace until instructed to simply rest inwardly and surrender all effort. Another devotee could not see Kṛṣṇa in meditation until taught to calm the inner vision. All that is sought—God, the guru, harmony—is already present within the self. The journey requires turning the senses inward to discover the permanent source behind the temporary world. "Go within thyself. Whatever is given from outside is given... But what is given from outside is temporary." "Close your eyes and rest. Give it to me... Don’t think anything. Now you should know that I am in my body." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Instructions for meditation
14:05 - 14:50 (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
Mala leads us to the Cosmic Self
14:55 - 15:39 (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
Yoga is endless
15:45 - 16:28 (43 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is an endless path of connection and expansion beyond all limits. Yoga is not merely exercises. Each breath and every cell in the body is a living yoga, a universe in itself. The physical body contains all elements—earth, fire, water, air, and space—mirroring the cosmos. This constant movement is yoga. Therefore, yoga is endless, ever-expanding, with no completion. This expansion and contraction is Śiva, present in all beings, beyond religion or nation. The spiritual journey is like ocean waves seeking to expand endlessly but being pulled back by the shore, or like water evaporating only to fall again as rain. This returning force is attachment, a binding rope that prevents liberation. Practice is essential to go within. Chakras exist throughout the body and universe, but seeking powers is not their purpose. The true guru is not merely physical but is the inner guide, the ātmā. The cosmic principles of Śiva, Viṣṇu, and Brahmā change cyclically. The final door is to sit, let the ātmā be, and follow the breath without force. Inhaling and exhaling is the path; the prāṇa knows all. Meditate with awareness of the breath and the guru within. "Each and every breath in our body is a yoga." "Yoga means connecting."

Doctors and yogis are similar
16:35 - 17:17 (42 min)
Recorded on
The practice of yoga is a universal medicine for body and spirit, leading from physical movement to inner awakening. All beings possess love and seek happiness. Humans, with greater understanding, must reflect on their daily actions and their effects. The states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep define our consciousness. What we consume influences our future, as the body distributes it throughout. A true doctor treats all without judgment, aiming to heal regardless of a person's choices. This is the same spirit as a true yoga teacher or guru. Many schools and teachers exist, like many hospitals, but the essence of the practice is one. The specific vehicle matters less than the journey toward the destination. Physical practice is the foundation. To progress beyond the body to the astral energies and kuṇḍalinī requires proper guidance. The foundational energy system, like the body's essential elements, must be in balance. Without this balance, one cannot advance. "Simply, in this way, we can also consider what is going on in our body." "To go further, we have to have a guru who can meditate and lead us."

Preparation for Diwali
17:20 - 18:00 (40 min)
Recorded on
The divine light of Diwali celebrates the incarnation of Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī. Diwali marks the return of Bhagavān Rāma to his kingdom, a day of light signifying a state where darkness cannot exist. All divine incarnations appear for the purpose of protection and liberation. This Diwali also honors the birth of Mahāprabhujī. His conception occurred nine months prior, when Śiva appeared to his mother during Śivarātri and prophesied the birth of a divine child. At the Brahmā muhūrta on Diwali, Mahāprabhujī incarnated. Miracles accompanied his birth: lamps lit without oil and white flowers fell from the sky. An astrologer declared the child a great soul and named him Dīp, meaning light. "All gods who come, one after another through the ages, come for two purposes: protecting and liberating all good ones." "This child will be like the shining sun, not only for his family, but also for all of India and the whole world." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Only oneness leads to happiness
18:05 - 18:45 (40 min)
Recorded on
The resonance of Aum is the fundamental vibration of all existence, connecting Earth, the lokas, and Brahmā loka. Consciousness has no desire, while the inert world cannot act. All apparent forms arise from the one resonance of Akāra, Ukāra, and Makāra. The seeker must follow the inner self, as everything external is temporary and leads to separation. Worldly life, or saṃsāra, possesses no lasting essence and is the source of suffering through attachment. The individual soul, like a drop of water, is separated from the ocean of oneness and journeys through various states, longing for reunion. Liberation involves recognizing this transient nature and turning inward toward the eternal. "Ekobrahman duttye nasti. That Brahman is only one." "In oneness, there is no separation."

The first sound came from the ocean
18:50 - 19:26 (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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
God Rama and Diwali
19:30 - 20:01 (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
Bhajans and Diwali celebration
20:05 - 20:32 (27 min)
Recorded on
Sound is the inner Self, equal in all. Bhajans and music resonate as spiritual nourishment, awakening the nervous system and kuṇḍalinī. The melody alone can induce harmony and higher consciousness, a form of yoga accessible to all. This resonance is the fifth Veda. Yet, like the fly that leaves sandalwood for waste, some are not drawn to this purity. The coming Diwali celebrates divine incarnation, a return to light marked by fire, bhajans, and community, echoing the universal joy of Bhagavān Rāma's homecoming. "Instruments are for those who are singing alone. For them, it is not only the instrument but the voice, the sound. And that sound is called the inner Self, which is equal in all." "Even if the translation has no correct meaning, the melody of the one who is singing is enough for everyone to be happy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Nothing is forever
20:40 - 21:48 (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."

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.

Follow Yoga in Daily Life
23:20 - 0:26 (66 min)
Recorded on
There is one God, one message, and one sound in the universe. All beings descend from the great ṛṣis, regardless of religion. God is beyond all duality; the soul within each being is a spark of the supreme. Humans, unlike animals, should not cause pain and must live with respect and love for all creatures. Civilization has evolved from a primitive state to one of greater understanding. The spiritual lineage, or paramparā, connects the disciple to the guru and the original source. This path requires integrating yoga into daily life, avoiding separation between practice and living. Inner knowledge, not mere book learning, is essential. The current age presents challenges, but the path remains: to realize the oneness within and live accordingly. "One in all and all in one." "Speak what is within."
