The sacred month of Śrāvaṇa holds wisdom connecting tradition, nature, and life. Trees like the banyan and pīpal are revered, seen as personifications of the divine and providers of continuous oxygen. Unmarried daughters perform rituals, offering water and tying threads to the pīpal tree with hopes for a blessed marriage. Life decisions, especially marriage, must transcend mere emotion or beauty. Lasting union requires alignment through Jyotiṣa, the celestial science, to avoid future suffering for couples and their children. Authentic Jyotiṣa must come from a genuine Brāhmaṇa lineage, not those who commercialize it. Spiritual practice begins with perfecting mantra pronunciation, progressing from speech to writing to silent mental repetition, ultimately becoming automatic. This integration of outer discipline and inner alignment is the true path. "Do not marry because of love. Do not make it only an emotion." "The one who says, 'No, I do not need anything. I will do this.' ... Only that one can do the jyotiṣa who is of this caste of the jyotiṣa." 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 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

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

Haṭha Yoga is widely misunderstood as merely physical postures, yet it is a profound spiritual path requiring direct guidance. Many seek only its external forms, but true practice involves the subtle channels of energy and consciousness. Learning from brief trainings or distant sources provides incomplete, theoretical knowledge. Just as a child needs a mother's physical presence, a student requires a living teacher's direct transmission to embody the teachings. Yoga is a continuous journey of learning that does not end with a certificate. Without a guide present, practice remains partial and can even be hazardous. The essence is realized through personal relationship and practical training, not through books or screens alone. "Learning from a book or from a screen at home is dry knowledge." "To complete it, you must be present with a teacher." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Trāṭaka is a yogic gazing technique for eye care and subtle awakening. It involves fixing the gaze on a single point like a flame or a black spot. This practice can lead to perceiving inner light, but these sensations are physiological, not spiritual revelations. The eyes are extremely sensitive. While the technique is powerful, it carries risk without proper guidance. One must first consult a qualified eye doctor to understand the condition of their eyes. Medical knowledge is essential. For general eye health, a daily wash with filtered Triphalā water is a safe and beneficial Āyurvedic practice. Simple remedies like cold compresses can relieve tiredness. Always seek a yoga teacher with deep practical experience, not just theoretical knowledge. Balance respect for yogic tradition with modern medical care. "If the eyes are gone, it is said life is gone." "First speak with a good eye doctor." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

This is the time to return to our inner self. Humans work very hard externally, constructing roads and buildings, often with environmental cost. This external endeavor is great, but we work too hard outside. If we worked on our inner body for one or two hours daily, that would be very good. Yoga is that inner engineering. It is not merely external exercise but acting for the whole world from within. The techniques are already within, showing how the body is continually made better. Yoga practice gives exercises for the inner body, leading to peace and harmony. The difference is we often do too much externally while neglecting the inner self. "We humans work too hard externally. If we worked on our inner body for one or two hours each day, that would be very, very good." "Yoga is the engineer, not a human. The techniques of yoga, all that God has made, are already within."

The inner flame of life is the vital energy within, distinct from physical fire. This prāṇic flame is the essence of consciousness through waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Even in blindness, an inner light perceives through vibration and voice. When the body sleeps or tires, this light dims but retreats into the ātmā, never extinguished. The flame can appear to depart at death, yet life may linger as seen in a bird revived. One must care for this flame through practices like trāṭak and Hatha Yoga, feeding it with sustenance. Great yogis remain awake in meditation even as others sleep, navigating states of consciousness. The soul's journey continues beyond the body, like a flame moving far away. "Where the lamp is gone. And where the flame is gone. That has gone into our ātmā." "Others are awakened, and the yogīs are meditating. And others, they are sleeping. And the yogī is awakened."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. We are not connected to the time. There is only oneness in the oneness. The best way is yoga. Do not meditate on outer things. The development will come by practicing. Shiva puja gives calmness. It is very important how to worship Gurupurnima, tomorrow we are going to show it.

Yoga is the universal path connecting the individual to the cosmic Self through Śiva. Haṭha Yoga is a primary means to reach this state, placing practitioners under Śiva's protection. The mantra "Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya" purifies the entire being; even the shortened "Śiv" aligns with the heartbeat, embedding the divine within. Specific temples house unique Śiva liṅgams, sources of great blessing. Consecrating a dwelling through ceremony is essential to invite positive energy and avoid negative influences. The story of Viṣṇu offering lotus flowers illustrates complete devotion, where the sacrifice of one's own eye fulfills the practice. True vision, Kamalnayan, arises from inner purity cultivated through sādhanā. This purification is the essence of the path. "Śiva is in each and every cell of our body; He is everywhere." "Where there is purity inside, then it is beautiful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The inner light and the practice of trāṭak reveal the soul's journey. The soul enters the body like a seed finding its place, guided by an inner light from the navel. This light is the jīva, the soul itself, present in all creation. Every seed, tree, and creature possesses inner eyes that seek their destined path through concentration. This seeking is trāṭak. The story of a guru saving a devotee at sea illustrates the power of this inner connection. The guru's astral body traveled and returned through the navel center, or nābhi, demonstrating that true sight is inward. All external vision is secondary to this inner light, which connects the individual soul to the universal. "Every seed again gives eyes to the roots." "Trāṭak of the nābhi and Gurujī came."

Trāṭak is the practice of gazing on a single point. It is a foundational technique within Haṭha Yoga for developing concentration and vision. Correct practice strengthens the eyes, but error can cause harm, so guidance from a thoroughly trained teacher is essential. One method is to gaze at the toes with legs stretched, focusing between both big toes until they merge into one point. Another is to sit straight, extend one arm, and focus on the thumb held at the correct distance from the chest to keep the eyeballs relaxed. This practice has two forms: with open eyes and with closed eyes. True mastery requires years under a living master's guidance, not short courses. Advanced practice can lead to perception of inner light and deeper spiritual channels. It is a powerful tool, as demonstrated by stories of sages who could see across great distances and by its potential to influence conditions like bedwetting through concentrated focus. "Gazing on one point to know how our eyesight is." "Practice this yoga, yoga karmasukauśalam. That is very important." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Haṭha Yoga is the purification of body, mind, and soul. This purification permeates the entire human being. Every creature has its own connection to God. A purified yogī attracts animals and birds, as described in ancient songs. This practice also represents cosmic principles. There are two kinds of Haṭha Yoga: one is the inner purification, and the other is the external conflict seen in fighting. The elements and deities are all part of this understanding. The goal is to give up force and join in union. The impermanent self is like a candle flame, but the true light within is Brahman. The living guru embodies the divine principle for guidance. "Haṭha Yoga is the purification of our body, mind, and ātmā." "Give up that kind of forceful striving. And this light is not our physical light." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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 tradition of prayer and reverence sustains all life. We live by the grace of saints, prayers, and sacred places. This practice comes from the divine and is universal, expressed in greetings like "Namaste." Prayer is essential, whether directed toward a form or the formless. Respect begins with mother and father, extends to elders and teachers, and culminates in reverence for the spiritual guide. This sequence is the first step toward the Cosmic Self. All creatures seek to give and receive; this exchange is yoga. Life is fleeting, so we must act, purify ourselves, and practice diligently. Yoga in daily life means consistent practice, which brings health, happiness, and longevity. "Both are good, but while we are in this world, we need all these objects." "Guru is Brahmā, Guru is Viṣṇu, Guru is Deva Maheśvara, and Guru is everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Our journey is a spiritual ascent and return toward the Cosmic Self. Life is a journey from the womb toward the Supreme. We accumulate experiences as we grow. Reaching a peak is like a Himalayan summit, a point of clarity before the descent back down. This cycle mirrors life: we learn to stand, then in age, we return downward. The body and elements are temporary; only the soul continues. God, who is singular and pervasive like the sky, provides our time and space. The ultimate destination is merging with the ocean of Brahman, becoming the endless Cosmic Self. Therefore, consistent practice is essential. Yoga is the paramount path for this union, and it is inherent in all life. Animals instinctively perform their own yoga through movement and cleansing. Humans learn postures from observing animals, proving yoga is for all creatures. Our daily work and exercises are also forms of yoga. The goal is for all expanded existence to melt back into oneness, like elements in a volcano. Through disciplined practice and techniques like Agnisāra, we progress. "One in all and all in one." "Yoga is for all creatures." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The divine principle is immanent within the natural order and our own being. The sun is a constant divine presence, essential for life; without its balance with the moon, earthly stability would fail. This cosmic balance mirrors the delicate equilibrium within our own bodies, where each organ is vital. To deny the divine nature of these elements is a form of blindness. The divine is not a separate, distant figure but is present in all things—the sun, moon, earth, and within ourselves. Argument over the form or name of God is futile and leads only to spiritual disease. Realization comes from understanding this inherent divinity in everything, returning fully to the sacred earth that supports all life without judgment. All names point to the same one reality. "Within two days, if the sun does not rise, we will be finished. And if we are not balancing this moon, then everything will fall down." "Therefore, let all go as they are going, but those who have the realization, they understand again, come completely down to the earth." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Spirituality is the essence of joy and oneness. It arises from the harmonious union of fundamental principles within nature. The earth provides a maternal foundation, while a paternal energy of light and life animates existence. This union represents the divine source. True spirituality manifests as purity, humbleness, kindness, and peace. Its absence is marked by conflict and suffering, as seen in fractured relationships. We often seek joy externally, yet authentic spiritual joy is found only within. It is the inner state cultivated through harmonious understanding. "Spirituality: purity and humbleness, kindness, peace, understanding, oneness." "Spirituality is what we call the joy. Joy is only within ourselves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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 practice of yoga and discipline aligns the practitioner with the divine. All spiritual beings become the God they worship, regardless of religion. Creatures of the dawn awaken for a higher purpose, while those active only in darkness engage in negative actions. Humans should emulate the discipline of the dawn, rising early for practice like the military, to restore balance. True yogic practice extends beyond physical postures to deeper spiritual levels. Great masters from India's lineage demonstrate profound spiritual power, performing miracles like restoring life. This land is considered divine. The current time is an opportunity to stay home with family and cultivate compassion, which is the root of all religion.

The practice of Trāṭaka extends beyond external gaze to the awakening of inner vision. We clean the physical eyes with Triphalā to prepare. Yet true sight is internal. Most practitioners sit for meditation with closed eyes but lack the technique to see inwardly, like a blind person missing a door while distracted. This inner Trāṭaka is not theoretical; it requires a guru's practical guidance on the subtle channels—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumnā—and centers like the trikuṭī. It is a disciplined focus, akin to a pilot flying by instruments or an archer hitting a target by looking at its reflection. The guru's gaze upon the disciple and the disciple's focused gaze upon the teaching are one. Mastery comes from prolonged practice, not mere intellectual knowledge.

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."

Yoga is a faith-based system for wellness and healing, integrating consciousness with the body. A personal testimony describes overcoming a cancer diagnosis by refusing conventional treatment and rewriting one's mental blueprint. The individual believed revised thoughts would communicate with cells and DNA to halt disease progression, attributing survival solely to yoga practiced with faith and discipline. This illustrates yoga's potential beyond physical postures, focusing on divine energy and consciousness. Panelists discuss integrating traditional Āyush systems like Homeopathy, Āyurveda, and Siddha with yoga and modern medicine. Homeopathy treats the whole person mind-body-intellect economically. Āyurveda and yoga share principles of removing prāṇic blockages through detoxification and lifestyle. Siddha medicine inherently includes yoga and varma therapy. All emphasize a holistic, health-centric approach over a disease-centric model, addressing root causes like stress and suppressed urges. The World Health Organization supports developing evidence-based yoga modules for non-communicable diseases and exploring integrative service delivery. The spiritual core of yoga is to raise human consciousness, with health benefits being natural side effects. "If you allow God’s energy to run into your system by removing the ignorance that blocks it, God will provide the miracles." "Yoga and Āyurveda are like the two faces of the same coin.
