Evening satsang on Gurupurnima from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Guru leads us from darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge. 'Gu' means darkness, while 'ru' means light.

The Viśuddhi Chakra purifies energy through sound and nerve connections. The body contains 72,000 nerve channels forming a network. The solar plexus, or Maṇipūra Chakra, is a powerful healing center and the seat of life's energy, connected to the sun. This sunlight, symbolized by the svastika, awakens through practices like Agnisar Kriyā. The universal sound OṂ, concentrated at the Viśuddhi, purifies negative energy. Chakras have petals representing Sanskrit alphabets, with resonance in each center. Purification addresses physical, mental, and emotional disease. The sound AUM originates from the sun and moves from the navel through the body. Prāṇāyāma involves inhalation, exhalation, and retention. The three principal nāḍīs are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā, which intersect at chakras. The Vajranāḍī begins at the toes and balances the entire nerve system, aiding digestion and immunity when sitting in Vajrāsana. This posture aligns the spine and relaxes the body, supporting the Viśuddhi Chakra's function. "The Viśuddhi Chakra is a filter, purifying all the negative energy from our body." "That sound comes to our navel, and from our navel, it sends radiance through the whole body." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

The seeds of yoga have grown for decades in these lands through grace and practice. The quality of the people here is immense spirituality, a search for God-realization. The practice of Yoga in Daily Life has spread this culture. Great blessings enabled its growth from small, humble beginnings. Everything described is the living play of divine grace, which makes the impossible possible. The essence is within. The body is a universe containing all ancestors and elements, which are immortal and merely transform. True yoga is union with the divine consciousness within all. "Do not let that quality diminish." "Everything I am telling you now is Līlāmṛta." Filming location: Kranj, Slovenia

The divine bond between guru and disciple is the foundation of spiritual life. A disciple's journey begins with a longing for truth. Upon meeting the guru, one recognizes a divine light and a profound inner calling. The guru's training is rigorous, designed to transform the raw disciple into a refined instrument. This process requires complete surrender, like a seed dying to become a tree. The guru's protection is constant, ensuring the disciple's spiritual safety and discipline. Through loving guidance and demanding work, wisdom is transferred not merely by instruction but through grace and experience. This bond culminates in the disciple embodying the teachings and receiving the guru's complete spiritual transmission. "The Master makes the disciple a Master, if that vein goes through that training." "In love, there is trust. In love, there is protection. In love, there is a surrender, acceptance, and it is a oneness." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Kali Yuga is the age of action, where karma is primary, yet the foundation is the divine name. This era is defined by activity, but liberation from the ocean of worldly existence and suffering is achieved through remembrance of God's name. The name is the essential support. Personal effort and righteous work are necessary to fulfill human aims, yet without this spiritual foundation, effort is hollow. A story illustrates the supreme value of satsang. A sage's single minute of satsang bore more fruit than another's millennia of austerities, demonstrating the power of truth and association with the wise. Ultimately, after all practices, the eternal truth that remains is the name. Therefore, while action is emphasized, repeating the divine name is the means to cross over. "Kali Yuga is karma-pradhāna, lekin, but Nām Ādhāra." "Sumer, sumer nar hoi bhava pāra, Kali Yuga kevala nāma ādhāra." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The Satguru's arrival brings supreme joy and marks a sacred occasion for the devotee. The divine presence enters the home and heart, destroying all sins and sorrows. One offers worship, service, and one's entire being at the Guru's feet. The Satguru is the support of life and a blessed incarnation. A rain of nectar-like knowledge is about to commence in the satsang. Those who have not taken food should do so quickly and come to the gathering. The program will continue after one hour. "Satguru āyā māre ghar dvārā, āj sākhiye māre ānand aparā." "Darśan de sarva pāp naśaya."

The holy land of Nīpāl Āśram is a place of ancestral lineage and divine grace. It is situated on the bank of the Gaṅgā river within the seasonal landscape shaped by the Aravalli hills. This land was donated centuries ago by a king to the saint Amichānjī, an ancestor in the Guru's family, following a miraculous event. After Mahāprabhujī's Mahāsamādhi in 1963, the village devotees persistently requested Gurujī to establish an ashram. Reluctantly, he accepted a corner of this ancestral land. The initial ashram was very simple. Through the devotion and help of many, it gradually developed. A pivotal moment occurred when the speaker, as a boy, was invited by Gurujī to stay and live with him at the ashram, beginning a profound chapter of spiritual training and personal experience. "May the sun and moon change their path and direction, but the words of the saints will always come true." "Where Gurudev lives doesn’t matter; wherever he puts his lotus feet, that spot of the earth becomes the divine, the holy." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

The gathering welcomes distinguished guests and emphasizes the shared pursuit of knowledge through yoga, which transcends physical practice to harmonize the mortal body and immortal soul. We honor our lineage and welcome all present, including a renowned scholar of the Vedas. Human intellect is superior but requires teaching. Despite societal influences, few understand all humanity. We must concentrate on the Jīvātmā. Yoga is the supreme science for humans, extending beyond postures and breath. This work has spread globally over decades, with seeds now sprouting. The path requires selfless surrender. A seed must bury itself and forget its own life to become a tree that bears fruit for society. Our dialogue aims to elevate life through understanding karma and our true nature. "Yoga is the science for humans, not merely āsanas and prāṇāyāma, but something beyond." "Every seed has only one dream: that I should become a big tree. I should bear a lot of fruit for society." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

Satsaṅg and a sacred morning routine create a divine atmosphere for spiritual life. The environment of an ashram provides peace, which is the result of true satsaṅg. In genuine satsaṅg, there should not be excessive singing or instrumental music, as this creates business and distracts from the teaching. A single saint can provide satsaṅg for all, just as the sun's light dispels darkness. The purest atmosphere is one hour before sunrise. Upon waking, one should cleanse the body with water, which brings purification and awakening. Sleep is crucial for restoring the body and mind, like repairing a machine, but it must be natural and not induced by substances. The first hours of the morning, used for personal practice and offering respect to family and the divine, constitute your own life and spiritual foundation. The rest of the day's work is for others. A Guru exists in a divine state beyond ordinary sleep, demonstrating perfect spiritual awareness and guidance for the disciple. "Peace and bliss are the result of satsaṅg." "One sādhu, one saint, is for all." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

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

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."

Awareness of every inhale and exhale." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Candle meditation - Tratak. A very effective technique for stress release and improving the eye sight. Specially for the people spending a lot of time in the front of the computer. With explanation and practice. Recorded on 18th May 2010 in Vienna, Austria.

The practice of Aum moves through the chakras with prāṇa. Chanting extends beyond three repetitions. The numeral system uses nine digits and the essential zero, invented in India. The sound for the number nine often relates to 'N' across languages. The Earth is a globe, first lifted from the ocean by the Varāha avatāra. Destiny is pre-written by Vidhātā, a divine power, for every being at birth. This script is immutable; life events, including survival, follow its decree. Ancient scriptures, primarily in India, contain this knowledge. An extended story illustrates that even the powerful Rāvaṇa could not alter the destined marriage for his daughter. Therefore, one should not worry excessively. Perform your sādhanā and duties. Destiny ultimately rests with God and may be transcended through yoga practice over time. "Destiny is yours, mine, anyone's—your dog, your cow... What is in the destiny is already written therein." "What she writes, no one can change. Yes, no one can run from it."

The divine path encompasses human destiny and the nature of existence. All beings are connected to the Supreme. Divine incarnations appear to guide creation. God is present within every element and creature. The human body contains the five elements, animated by divine energy. Life continues through cycles of rebirth. One's actions and consciousness determine the future birth. Destiny operates, as illustrated by ancient stories. Unfulfilled desires, or vāsanā, can pull the consciousness back into worldly life. Spiritual training under a master is the path to transcendence. The relationship with the divine persists regardless of physical distance. The goal is to realize one's true nature beyond these cycles. "God is everywhere. In each and every cell in our body, and in every creature, is God." "Destiny is there, and so many times, your destiny will be, can turn back again." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

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

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."

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

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."

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."

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

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 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

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
