Mantra is the power of mind and speech, rooted in the word 'man' for mind. Fear is a dominant power residing permanently within us from childhood, extending to learning, work, and relationships. This fear can be invoked by a single word, a 'mantra' of threat. Speech holds immense power; a wife's words can keep a husband awake, just as a husband's words can affect his wife. There is a difference in the qualities of expression between men and women. The essence of true mantra is found in positive, respectful, and harmonious communication that carries spiritual power, like a sacred poem. A guru's grace is essential for real spiritual liberation, not self-proclaimed attainment. All beings, even divine figures, have a guide. Mantra can be used for good or ill, so we must choose words that bless and connect. "O Tulsīdās, don’t go in that house. Even if the diamonds are falling down in your house."

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

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

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

A silent prayer for global peace was offered. This practice is Mauna Yoga, an inner prayer conducted in mental silence. Governments have advised quiet in places of gathering. The prayer is directed inwardly to the divine for all beings worldwide. This is a time for universal brotherhood and collective prayer for peace. Practitioners should maintain personal care and positive thought. The global community of practitioners continues through online connection. Service is provided selflessly, as all sustenance comes from the divine. Therefore, one should act without fear or anger, sustained by faith. "All religions should join together. We all should pray to God that all humans, all animals, and this whole globe remain in a very clear, peaceful atmosphere." "Yoga is for harmony, peace, and understanding. One should not think negatively of a person." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A week of spiritual gathering concludes with guidance for integrating the teachings. The knowledge received must move from intellectual understanding into deep consciousness through personal practice and time. Learning is a continuous process from student to mastery, not a declaration of perfection. The diverse practices shared are designed to engage the heart and mind so the essence remains. True meditation is an inward journey through grace, not an external focus. Do not fear negativity or darkness, which is merely the absence of light within. Cultivate light through happiness, peace, and harmony. Honor your relationships, beginning with parents, and extend kindness outward. The practice is holistic, integrating humility and awareness from head to toe in daily life. "Now you have learned, but you still have not put it very deep in consciousness." "Afraid is darkness. So don't worry about anything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Himalayan cave is a site of spiritual austerity and inner transformation. The physical cave is small, requiring one to bow to enter, symbolizing surrender. Its narrow passages were designed for protection, teaching that the heart must not become narrow but expand with joy. The surrounding glaciers and the powerful Alaknandā river embody the elemental principles where fire and water are interdependent. Meditating there, one hears the river's sound and experiences a profound environment where ṛṣis in astral bodies remain unseen. The journey demands inner strength, not physical comforts, and reveals that true sustenance comes from internal spiritual joy, not external sources. This inner development, like generating one's own oxygen, allows one to traverse the terrain. The path is a gradual spiritual ascent, merging the individual into cosmic oneness, where every cell becomes divine. The story of a ṛṣi who wished to finish all Vedas before death illustrates that divine knowledge is as vast as the Himalayas; one must ultimately surrender to the infinite. Spiritual practice is the inner alchemy of purifying the heart, grinding away the ego to reveal the innate nectar and light within, which is our true nature. "The cold becomes hot. That’s why the fire cannot remain without water. And water cannot remain without fire." "Can you count how many grains of sand are in your palm?... This is only a little dust of the Himalaya, but the whole Himalaya is there with us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Vedic culture provides the scientific instructions for living in harmony. This ancient tradition was once widespread globally, guiding environmental protection and architecture like the Egyptian pyramids. In this current age, human lifespans have shortened due to artificial living, pesticides, and animal breeding. Modern technological development has made us slaves to electricity and harmed the earth through pollution. Mass meat consumption, a modern phenomenon accelerated after the Second World War, comes at a cost to health. Despite talk of protecting wildlife, it disappears each year. The practical application of Vedic science is the singular answer for achieving world peace and regenerating nature. Diwali is the ancient festival celebrating this light and unity. "To get world peace, to regenerate and recover nature and wildlife, if we follow the Vedic culture." "Never, ever, never in the past were humans consuming so much meat as they are doing nowadays."

Today is the day of Bhagavān Mahāprabhujī. Brahmalīna beings are embodiments of the supreme, everlasting Brahman, which merges within devotees as both nirguṇa and saguṇa. Obstacles like negative thinking block this divine flow, just as a stone blocks a water pipe. Siddhas, who are transparent to divine vibration, manifest for purification. Cheating others creates lifelong negative karmic reactions; it is better to be cheated. Backbiting steals negative energies but also affects the victim. Maintain humility and positive thoughts to keep your path clear, like an elephant ignoring barking dogs. Reading holy texts purifies daily consciousness. External possessions are like dust, but your inner self is an eternal treasure. The mantra "Om Prabhu Deep Niranjan Sab Dukha Bhanjan" removes all troubles. Masters can turn obstacles into fog for the faithful. Divine beings appear in visions to guide and bless. The described bhajan celebrates Mahāprabhujī as the radiant source and ocean of immortal nectar, whose glory resonates everywhere. "Deep Niranjan means purities. Prabhu Deep Niranjan, Sab Dukha Bhanjan removes all troubles." "On whom this nectar of immortality rained... who have drunk this with a full heart... his or her coming and going back is finished."

The full moon influences all life and consciousness, symbolizing completeness. Its energy affects nature and human health, making fasting beneficial on this day. Fasting involves consuming only liquids, fruits, and vegetables, which can improve health and reduce blood pressure. What we eat is medicine, and cooking is a science for well-being. The story of Hanuman teaches that devotion must remain free from ego and doubt. Even great devotees can falter, but true devotion holds God within the heart, beyond all confusion. "Pūrṇamadaḥ, pūrṇamidaṃ, pūrṇāt, pūrṇamudacyate... that Pūrṇa is also our self." "When we lose our confidence—though we had confidence—but sometimes a certain constellation comes, and we are suddenly separated." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Diwali is the festival of light, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance. This ancient Vedic tradition celebrates the incarnation of divine light and the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana. The lighting of lamps represents the inner soul and the spiritual light within every individual. This light is the knowledge of the self, or atma jnana, which dispels suffering and negativity. The Guru guides disciples from darkness to this inner light. Diwali is also a time for new beginnings, forgiveness, and renewal of relationships, marking a personal and collective spiritual new year. The festival connects the cosmic narrative to the inner journey, where following the Guru's path leads to liberation. "The light of the dipaka, the Diwali light, is within every one of us." "Diwali is the greatest festival for humans to learn to be in the light, not in the darkness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Satsaṅg is the company of truth that leads to spiritual development. Truth is the unchanging reality, Brahman, while the changing world is temporary. The soul descends through various births, bound by past karma, to experience life on Earth. Humans possess intellect and freedom of choice, making them responsible for creating new karma. The soul is a mixture of the individual consciousness and the universal Self. Through human life, one can purify karma and realize the true Self. Education and company from childhood shape one's mentality and path. Good society, or satsaṅg, inspires positive development, while bad society, or kusaṅga, leads to distraction and suffering. Temptations like addiction appear attractive but ultimately ensnare. True friendship is a partnership walking the path of truth. One should seek the company that elevates consciousness and makes good resolutions. "Sat means truth, and that truth is what we call brahma satya, jagat mithyā." "Humans have a different law... that is called intellect, which has the capacity of saṅkalpa and vikalpa." Filming location: Moravske Toplice, Slovenia

A guided practice integrating meditation, yoga, and prāṇāyāma to cultivate awareness and inner harmony. Begin by relaxing the body and mind, aligning the posture. Follow the breath, using the mantra "So Ham" to synchronize with the inhalation and exhalation. Feel prāṇa entering and tensions releasing. Center awareness in the heart space, feeling it expand and relax, allowing peace and love to spread. After meditation, proceed to physical practice. Perform warm-up exercises and āsanas like Daṇḍāsana, focusing on straight posture and coordinated breathing. Practice sequences for the arms, shoulders, and feet with conscious movement. Advance to postures such as Marjari Āsana and Meruākaraṇāsana, maintaining balance and breathing deeply. Conclude with Kathā Praṇām and prāṇāyāma, specifically Nāḍī Śodhana, to purify the energy channels. Always maintain a straight back, relax the abdomen, and coordinate movement with breath. Finish by chanting Oṁ and grounding the awareness. "Feel how with every inhale you are taking in prāṇa, how your consciousness is becoming brighter and brighter, happier and more relaxed." "Keep your back straight and go down only to the level which your muscles can hold with your back straight." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

The journey through the kośas reveals how attachment obscures our true nature. We seek a love where we are one soul, like brothers who share everything without "my" or "thy." This ideal is tested in life's difficulties, where relationships often reveal hidden attachments. The intellect sheath, vijñānamaya kośa, is where subtle selfishness arises, influenced by desires from the bliss sheath. A story illustrates this: two loving brothers live as one family. One day, the elder unconsciously gives a larger mango to his nephew and a smaller one to his own son. This slight preference, born of attachment, shatters the unity, leading to separation. The problem is the duality of "mine" and "yours." The solution is viveka—discernment—within the intellect sheath, to pause and act wisely. Our worries and burning desires occupy all five sheaths, destroying inner harmony. Surrender to the divine is the refuge where these burdens are released. "On an emergency, in a difficult time, there you can test if it is yours or not." "Cintā and Tṛṣṇā, both, have occupied this castle of our kośas."

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."

Yoga and meditation can improve quality of life for cancer patients when used alongside standard medical care, not as a cure. Studies show yogic interventions, including specific āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation, help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in patients. This improves their sense of well-being during treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, evidence does not support claims that yoga cures cancer. Such false promises are harmful, causing patients to delay effective treatment until their disease becomes advanced and incurable. The principle must be welfare of all, first doing no harm. Yoga is applicable at all stages: for primary prevention through lifestyle, secondary prevention via early diagnosis, and tertiary care to alleviate suffering in advanced disease. More robust, large-scale studies are needed to confirm benefits and identify the most effective techniques. "Please do not give a false hope that your cancer will be cured." "Yogic intervention helps in relieving the stress level of patients and thereby improves their sleep." Filming location: Delhi, India

Yoga for wellness is the subject, moving from practice to integration for national health. Yoga has gained global acceptance, increasing India's responsibility. The conference aims to establish policy parameters. Yoga is about holistic wellness, not merely cure. Two key features emerged: the need for integration between traditional and modern medicine, and the need for scientific evidence on yoga's impact on specific diseases. Integration must move beyond co-location to active cross-referrals. The ultimate aim is to use yoga to reduce the number of patients. Generating robust scientific evidence is crucial for global acceptability. The presence of both traditional and modern practitioners signifies the desired integration. "Yoga is not just about a cure. It is about health, overall well-being, and wellness." "We need to generate scientific evidence about the value of yoga if we want true acceptability." Filming location: Delhi, India

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

Guru Pūrṇimā is about moving from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge. Without knowledge, one is like an animal. This light is the inner knowledge within every being. Humans possess intellect, but it is shaped by its education; one becomes what one is taught. Therefore, proper education is paramount, which is spiritual and ethical education rooted in Sanātana values. This education comes from the guru. The essence of all scriptures is the same truth of one God, though languages differ. Today, people prioritize learning English for jobs over their mother tongue, leading to a loss of cultural roots. Sanskāras create culture, culture creates humanity, and humanity protects the country. Guru Pūrṇimā is the worship of the divine being who gives knowledge and is a festival to keep culture alive. Sanātana Dharma is a living dharma, seen in eternal relationships like that of guru and disciple. This relationship will last forever, making it the greatest and most living festival. "Without knowledge, one is like an animal." "God is one. God has no name, and all scriptures speak of the oneness of God." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The path of Kuṇḍalinī is systematic, like climbing a building step by step. Each person possesses a vast inner kingdom with levels to traverse. Awakening this energy is not simple. Many seek it out of curiosity, but without true mastery it becomes a dangerous business. A story tells of a man who learned to charm a cobra, calling it Kuṇḍalinī awakening, and displayed it for money. This is not real mastery. A monkey stole the basket, releasing the serpent, which then overpowered the thief. When Kuṇḍalinī truly awakens without proper guidance, no one can save you. Another story tells of a man under a wish-fulfilling tree who received everything he desired, including his fears. Do not greedily chase such powers. Do not force techniques from books. Relax, meditate, and live properly. The energy will come naturally. "Kuṇḍalinī is awakening—it is not easy, what people are saying." "Do not run behind such things."

India is the cradle of culture and spirituality. Its traditions, language, and festivals are profound. Yet, its people have forgotten their heritage, becoming slaves to foreign languages. No nation that abandons its native tongue retains its identity. Language is the vessel of culture; when it is lost, the culture perishes. Preserve your mother tongue to protect your spiritual foundation. The soul takes a human birth for righteousness. If you call your father 'Papa,' a word sounding like 'sin,' you blackmail your own consciousness toward hell. Use the sacred words for mother and father. This simple practice safeguards the entire culture. Western disciples guard their own traditions diligently. Indians must reclaim their dress, language, and customs to restore the nation's spiritual glory. "Lucky are they, blessed are they, fortunate ones are they who are born in holy Bhārat." "If you take care of these two words, then you will save the Sanskrit language of India. And that is the mother and the father." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A bhajan reveals the hidden nature of a divine incarnation and the challenge of recognition. The divine light incarnated in human form, a riddle for the mind. Many met him but could not understand. Recognition is not intellectual but a deep heart realization—to see God in the human form. This is hindered by māyā, the illusion of the physical world that captivates the ignorant. Māyā is our reaction to the world, attacking our weakest point. Spiritual progress ends when one becomes entangled in māyā, losing common sense. Only through the guru's mercy can this veil be lifted. Our practice must cultivate humility, the sole qualification for that grace. Those who recognize the guru achieve the immortal; they become transformed. The disease of worldly desire is cured only by that recognition, bringing true satisfaction. "Apne āpko chupāne vāle." "Jisane Jānā Mahāprabhujī Ko, Usane Pāyā Amṛta Khāna."

The five bodies each require their own nourishment. The physical body, Annamaya Kośa, needs food. It is said every grain has a destined consumer. A story tells of a grain of rice, uncooked and stuck in a merchant's tooth, which later fell before a king who ate it. Another story tells of a chickpea that entered a man's sinus; a sage said it was destined for a chicken, and so it was. Destiny governs all; free choice is an illusion. Yet discipline is necessary. Care for the physical body through proper āsana and diet, understanding food's effects are unknown. The energy body, Prāṇamaya Kośa, is sustained by breath and pure substances; avoid blocking it with artificial materials. The mental body, Manomaya Kośa, contains all thoughts and desires, known only to oneself and the divine. The intellectual and bliss bodies will be discussed later. Practice yoga as a daily discipline for these sheaths. "On every grain is written the name of the one who will eat it." "Destiny is playing with us. Nothing we can do, and we do not have free choice." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

True connection is a matter of love, not physical proximity. The body is not the reality; love transcends distance while ignorance and hate create division. I recall a story of an ox named Sanjo, separated from the woman who raised him. Driven by love and memory, he endured a long, perilous journey home to her. This illustrates that every creature feels this soul-to-soul connection. To break it is a great sin. Humans, however, are often dominated by greed and negative energy, which animals can sense. This makes us dangerous to each other. Spiritual education is essential, as sustainability cannot exist without spirituality. The seed of love is planted in the heart, but the seed of greed is planted in the intellect. Greed, once implanted, can make a person destroy even family, as seen in the story of Kaṁsa from the Mahābhārata, who was corrupted by ambition and killed his own nephews. We must root out greed through discernment and cultivate the heart's love through devotion. The happiness found in that spiritual shelter cannot be found elsewhere. "God is love, and love is God. If we develop such feelings, we are very near our destination." "Mother Earth has enough for everyone’s need, but not for everyone’s greed." Filming location: USA

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

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

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

A yogic life offers holistic health and spiritual resilience through selfless service and trust in the divine. Modern comforts and manipulations like daylight saving create imbalance, whereas natural living and seva bring harmony. Health depends on the outer environment and conscious choices, not just personal habits. True seva is performed for one's own spiritual growth, not for others, as the merit returns manifold. Spiritual practice involves transforming oneself into an ashram, a shelter of positivity. During life's difficult paths, one is never alone; the divine carries the devotee. Trust in this divine care removes worry and fosters resilience, like a tree surviving all storms through deep spiritual roots. "When you are doing seva, it is not that you are doing it for others, but you are doing it for yourself, because you will get it back a thousand times." "When the comfortable path was, I just walked beside you. But when the thorny, stony way came, I walked and I carried you in the hollow of my palm." Filming location: Sydney, Australia
