The essence of being human is living in harmony with all life. Humans currently face many disturbances, but most sincerely desire peace. To create harmony, one must practice humility and non-reaction, as taught by turning the other cheek. This principle extends to all creatures, as every being feels pain and shares the same essence of life. Historically, consumption of other creatures was only a dire necessity, accompanied by prayer. True yoga is not merely physical exercise but this state of oneness, kindness, and consideration for all—vegetation, water, animals, and people. It is the practice of living harmoniously, recognizing our shared existence, and acting with a humble heart. "If someone gives you a slap on your cheek, then offer them the other cheek."

The essence of devotion to the spiritual teacher is total surrender and attentive receptivity. A true disciple absorbs every word from the teacher, considering each a divine nectar essential for growth. Questioning the teacher's actions is forbidden, as illustrated by the story of the guru saving a scorpion despite being bitten; each being follows its nature, and the guru follows the dharma of compassion. Even divine incarnations required a teacher, underscoring that a life is incomplete without one. The teacher's grace is everything; without it, the disciple is like a pot with a hole, unable to retain the knowledge being poured in. True devotion is rare, often corrupted by worldly desires for succession or property, not by genuine sorrow at the teacher's passing. The prescribed ritual for the holy day involves fasting, offering items like sandalwood and a garland filled with devotion, washing the teacher's feet, and performing full prostration to seek blessings and forgiveness. "Guru Kripa hi kevalam, śiṣya ke ānanda maṅgalam." "The scorpion's dharma was to bite; my dharma was to save it." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The search is for the divine light within the holy places and service to the Master's path. The desert seat of Jadan holds immense energy and is becoming a great holy place through collective work. Every word of the Gurudeva comes true, as seen in the fulfillment of blessings and awards. The presence in the ashram is intense, offering a space for inner work within a different experience of time. Service is the sādhanā; working for the Gurudeva purifies and leads to subtle spiritual attainments. The Himalayan masters, like Alak Purījī, are indescribable and bestow blessings across ages, with their legacy flowing through rivers and disciples. "Where there is light, it brings bright thoughts. Where there is darkness, negative thoughts come." "Through that sādhanā, we come to the subtle body... Slowly, slowly, their physical body turns into a subtle body."

The Guru is the sole means to liberation and the resolution of all suffering. Without devotion to the Guru, no happiness exists. The Guru is Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśa, the sun, and the power of Gaṇeśa. The true Guru is the supreme, formless Lord. Holding the Guru's name removes sin and suffering. The root of knowledge is the Guru's form; the root of worship is the Guru's feet; the root of mantra is the Guru's word; the root of liberation is the Guru's grace. One must abandon negative qualities and falsehood. Do not see faults in others, for seeing one fault in another means three exist within oneself. Follow the Guru's command. In the company of truth, do not slander, lie, or harbor hunger and anger. "Guru bhakti bin sukh na hoi, to karoḍa kūpāye kare yadi koī." "Ogan, tajo gunne pakdo, mir jai ghor andhera."

The straight path of Kriyā requires strict discipline and rejects spiritual fantasy. Kriyā Yoga is the sure and safe path, beginning and continuing with discipline. Practitioners often start with devotion but slowly neglect the practice, confusing temporary discomfort during intense practice with a flaw in the technique. The discomfort is part of adjustment. Those who remain steadfast see fruits; those who deviate are lost. Many teach without realization, leading others astray into psychic dreams of deities and angels, which is a dangerous distraction. The human body is the divine temple, the Annamaya Kośa, and must be kept clean. True religion is realizing the relation between the individual soul and the Supreme Soul. Fanaticism, whether religious or scientific, is ignorance. World peace comes from accepting our diverse neighbors. Study the chakras sincerely; do not seek shortcuts or confuse authentic teachings with commercialized tantra. Practice Kriyā faithfully without teaching others prematurely.

Yoga's global rise signals a return to spirituality, which encompasses all of life, not just religion or meditation. The last century's wars fostered a materialistic mindset focused on money, creating distance between people and even within families. Many now practice yoga only for physical fitness, and some teachers compete in wealth, which is contrary to yoga's non-competitive essence. True yoga is a simple, accessible practice from birth to liberation, not about difficult postures that can cause long-term injury. Learning correctly requires a genuine master and lineage. We have verified our spiritual roots and lineage. We must protect sacred natural places from human pollution, which is particularly damaging. "Spirituality means not only doing meditation, but encompasses everything." "Yoga is from the mother’s womb until liberation, and it should be a very easy practice." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The festival of Deepavali is celebrated according to the lunar calendar, for the moon governs the mind and the changing seasons. The human mind, like the moon, is always changing. A promise must be kept even at the cost of one's life, so think carefully before speaking. To control the emotions, which are like water in motion, one must follow the lunar cycles. The soul enters the human body pure, but then accumulates karmic impressions through action. These impressions must be purified. For this, the Guru principle is essential. The Guru is the light. There are divine principles: Brahmā the creator, Viṣṇu the protector, and Śiva the liberator. Śiva is Swayambhū, a self-manifested light, not born of parents. The Guru is the fourth principle, known as Nityāvatāra, the eternal incarnation. "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurudev Maheśvara." One must meditate on the Guru's form, worship the Guru's feet, and follow the Guru's instruction as the true mantra. Liberation comes only through the Guru's grace. "Therefore: 'Dhyāna-mūlaṁ guru-mūrti, pūjā-mūlaṁ guru-padaṁ, mantra-mūlaṁ guru-vākyaṁ, mokṣa-mūlaṁ guru-kṛpā.'" "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurudev Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt Parabrahm."

The divine union of Śiva and Śakti is the fundamental principle of creation. Everything originates from the endless space, containing all five elements. From this emerged Śiva, who then manifested Śakti, the dynamic power. All existence contains both these principles within; the male holds the female energy and the female holds the male. This inner Śakti is our vital prāṇa. Through yoga, born from Śiva's movements, one can raise and unite this energy. If this power is not preserved, it dissipates. The story of Śiva's mala of skulls illustrates the consequence of separation. He guards the remains of those śaktis who were lost due to error and duality. The power must be maintained within, for Śiva and Śakti are ultimately one. "Everything, everything that is on our earth is divided into two principles." "In our body, we have the Śiva. And we have the Śakti in our body too." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Worldly knowledge is limited, while spirituality is a living tradition beyond it. All beings contain a divine essence, a soul that is part of the living God. This reality is structured within the five sheaths of the body, from the physical to the blissful. Yoga is the eternal science connecting us to this inner divinity, not merely physical exercise. Modern interference, like altering seeds, disrupts natural harmony. True understanding requires realizing the Guru principle within, which is supreme and everlasting. "Yoga is the science of the human." "God is still living. Living God—we are all the living God." Filming location: Slovenska, Slovenia

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."

The divine lineage is eternal, manifesting across all ages. From the Satya Yuga through to the present, this sacred tradition continues. Great saints perpetually appear, representing a twofold divine expression: one is the singular incarnation of God for an era, and the other is the everlasting succession of saintly Gurus. This is not about a single individual; there are many Gurus, just as there are many parents. All are manifestations of the one divine reality. Your parents are your gods, yet we respect all elders as such. The soul is one, though forms differ. Other traditions are good, yet they often speak of a God from the past, not a living, ever-present God. Without a living God, it is like a child whose mother has died; where does one find that direct love? We must transcend duality, for God is everywhere. "One is as God, what we call, appearing once in that time... the second is called the saint, known as the Guru Bhagat... there is another who is forever coming." "Other religions are also very good, but they have no God—not a living God. Once they have a God, and that’s all." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The mind creates problems in both activity and idleness, revealing its restless nature. A story illustrates the futility of material accumulation. A teacher gave a merchant a needle to safeguard. The merchant's wife reasoned that if the teacher died, the needle would become a karmic debt impossible to repay. The merchant, realizing he could take nothing with him after death, returned the needle. The teacher asked why he accumulated vast wealth if he could not even take a small needle. The merchant then sold his excess property, keeping only necessities, and used the wealth for social good. Another teaching concerns inner development over outer appearance. Natural hair, whether grown or shaved, presents a consistent appearance, unlike changing hairstyles. True growth comes from within, not from outward presentation. A final story tells of a learned sage who, to answer questions about worldly life, left his own body and entered a recently deceased king's body to gain experience. This demonstrates that through spiritual power and discipline, extraordinary inner feats are possible. "If you cannot take such a small piece of a needle with you, then why are you accumulating so much stuff?" "Try building yourself from the inside, not by focusing on how you present yourself to the outer world." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A guided session integrates mantra, meditation, and āsana for holistic practice. Begin by sitting comfortably and chanting the Gāyatrī Mantra to greet the inner and outer light. Relax the entire body systematically, from forehead to legs. Observe the natural breath, receiving fresh prāṇa and releasing stress. Concentrate on the mantra, observing thoughts without attachment. Conclude the meditation with gratitude and conscious breathing. Perform a series of āsanas including Ānanda Āsana, Pavanmuktāsana, and Sumeru Āsana to stretch and strengthen the body. These postures work on the spine, limbs, and core, renewing energy. Practice prāṇāyāma to regulate breath flow, followed by final chants. "Just be your mantra in the breathing process." "Observe as your heartbeat and the rhythm of breathing become slower and slower with relaxation." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

States of consciousness reveal our inner and outer life. Waking activity is for the outer world, using all energy from sunrise to sunset. In sleep, we are within ourselves, aware of the inner self filled with divine feeling. This sleep is not nothing; it is a vital awareness given by God. Deep sleep is being one hundred percent aware of the self, comfortable and peaceful. The dream state contains things within ourselves, both good and bad. A constant alertness exists between these states. Therefore, sleeping is very important. A higher level is Yoga Nidrā, a sleep of consciousness toward the Supreme, practiced by yogis. "In sleeping, we were within ourselves. Our whole being is with us, filled with very, very divine feelings." "What this sleep means is that we are 100% aware of our self, and so it is very comfortable, relaxed, and peaceful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Trāṭaka is the practice of steady gazing to develop concentration and purify the mind. The best object is a pure ghee lamp flame, though a candle flame, a black dot, or a sacred image are also suitable. Never gaze at your own reflection in a mirror, as it can cause psychic disturbances. Gazing at the rising sun should last only half a minute to protect eyesight. This practice dispels fear, anxiety, and mental impurities, clearing the inner instrument. When performed with discipline every morning and evening for twelve years without a single break, it bestows a siddhi: the gaze becomes pure and merciful, attracting others. However, this attainment is blocked by a negative internal state. The practice awakens Sarasvatī's power in the throat, granting eloquent speech and artistic intuition. It illuminates the inner space, calms mental fluctuations, and aids in awakening the Kuṇḍalinī. It also empowers speech, making words balanced and meaningful, while teaching the importance of non-violence in speech, as verbal wounds are deep and lasting. Full benefit requires a personal Guru Mantra and guidance from a qualified teacher to avoid mental problems. The practical method involves sitting straight, establishing the correct distance to the flame, repeating the mantra, and alternating between external gazing and internal focus on the after-image. "By practicing Trāṭaka every morning and evening without interruption for twelve years, one attains a siddhi." "Only Gurudev can remove the darkness of the heart." Filming location: Australia

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 ātmā's journey seeks peace beyond the temporary body. All beings, in any body, search for peace and harmony. We attach to this form, believing it to be permanent, working hard for it and fearing its end. Yet, upon leaving, nothing material accompanies the soul—not house, property, or family. The separation is absolute. Great beings demonstrate rising above bodily pain, understanding the ātmā is distinct. The soul departs swiftly, like a falling star. Ultimately, we are not this body; the true self is a spotless, awakened consciousness within the heart, present in all movable and immovable life. This inner truth is the only reality. "When we go out of the body, nothing. We cannot even touch anything." "Our soul goes like that; it goes out. He doesn't want, my God, how much I was suffering in this body."

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."

The essence is oneness, knowledge, and the guru's grace. Separate drops of rain fall, yet they unite to form flowing water, creeks, rivers, and finally the ocean. The drop and the ocean are not different; we are that oneness. Knowledge is endless, and the cosmic Self is realized beyond the temporary body and its elements like anger or jealousy. These are like air in a balloon; when the body bursts, the air—the space of consciousness—remains. Humans possess knowledge and speech to understand this. A story illustrates this: a professor criticized a meditating yogi, denying God. The yogi noted that a small cherry falling from a tree is harmless, whereas a large melon from such height would injure. This shows divine arrangement is good. The guru's grace is paramount, transcending physical distance. The disciple's connection is in the heart, closer than family. One should not ask the guru for things, as asking creates distance; grace is given spontaneously like a mother's milk. "All drops unite to become the water that flows. Not one drop alone; all must come together again." "God has done everything good." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A message of health, harmony, and yogic practice for all. This is a time of global concern regarding health and impurity in the environment. Maintain cleanliness and personal hygiene. The practice of Yoga in Daily Life, including Sarvahitāsana, offers simple exercises for all, performed gently to awaken the body and improve circulation. These subtle movements can be done anywhere to regain and preserve good health. Respect all people and care for the health of family and community. Follow health guidelines and use Ayurvedic preparations like kaḍā for protection. Practice prāṇāyāma alone. Commemorate spiritual teachers and lineages through personal observance at this time.

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."

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

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."

The foundation of a child's education is the love, presence, and guidance of the parents. A mother is the first and best teacher, providing foundational instruction. When both parents work, leaving the child in another's care all day, the deep, continuous connection is missing. This can lead to a child feeling unloved and becoming depressed, questioning their place. The solution lies with the mother and father. If a child is distant, a parent must dedicate time daily for teaching and bonding. A compassionate tutor, especially a female teacher for a young boy, can provide parental-like love and emotional support to alleviate depression. Parents work for money, but children instinctively seek their mother. We must keep children close. Without proper guidance, children may be led astray by influences like pocket money, which can lead to harmful experimentation. You cannot force a growing child without causing breakage. A spiritual teacher or yoga guide can help redirect one onto the right path. We are all learning until our last breath. Fill the mind with good thoughts and knowledge before sleep. "Who is my mother? I have a mother at kindergarten and a mother at home." "If you give pocket money, I fear it may lead them astray." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."
