The Essence of Guru Pūrṇimā
2:05 - 3:07 (62 min)
Recorded on
The essence of Guru Pūrṇimā is the worship of the Guru principle, which is present in all things. True meditation is on the form of the Gurudeva, not on external objects. The Guru is not only a spiritual master but also anyone who teaches, including parents, teachers, and even nature. Sanātana Dharma respects everything as divine, seeing God in the sun, earth, rivers, and all creatures. It is a universal tradition that grants freedom to worship in diverse ways within one family. The formal Guru lineage, or paramparā, carries a sacred authority represented by the seat of Vedavyāsa. One must respect this lineage and follow the Guru's word, as the true mantra is the Guru's instruction. Ultimately, every entity that provides knowledge or guidance is a guru. "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara." "Dhyāna Mūlaṁ Guru Mūrtiḥ, Pūjā Mūlaṁ Guru Pādam." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Darshan and dhan
3:15 - 4:12 (57 min)
Recorded on
True wealth is found in spiritual vision, not material illusion. The darśana of the Guru is the highest blessing, surpassing all ritual and pilgrimage. Mere repetition of scriptures or practice of yoga is insufficient without this grace. People chase gold and money, mistaking transient possessions for real wealth. Even family bonds, like husband and wife, are often expressions of attachment, not the enduring harmony seen in nature. The real wealth is Darśana Dhan—the vision of God—which leads one forever upward. Worldly roles and gifts, like a mother's ring, are temporary tokens; the true legacy is spiritual awareness. Modern relationships fracture quickly because they lack Sat, the eternal truth. Satsaṅga is communion with that truth, which once attained, does not leave. This world is māyā, a great deceiver composed of the three guṇas, which entangle us through sweet words and desires, primarily attraction between genders and to riches. "Having darśana of the Sadhguru is higher than all pilgrimage." "Māyā is a great cheater... that aspect of God which can deceive us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Human and God
4:20 - 4:53 (33 min)
Recorded on
A call to conscience for Sanātana Dharma, observing spiritual and cultural decline. I lived abroad and saw people pressured to eat meat and drink alcohol. I refused. I returned to India and saw our own people abandoning prayer and adopting harmful diets. Foreign influences and demonic forces are rising. Many no longer know devotion. India is the land of God, with advanced spiritual practice, yet we are losing our way. Eating meat and eggs is against the principle of non-harm to animals. Our government has enforced harmful policies. We must care for our children and teach them true dharma. Start each day by honoring the earth as mother and connecting with sacred water. We must revive our practices and protect our culture from erosion. "Now we don’t know what is happening. We have started eating all kinds of food." "If religion says that no one should kill or harm any animal, then we have a lot of them." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
We have to make our food
5:00 - 5:53 (53 min)
Recorded on
Maintaining health and purity through yoga and conscious living is essential. A period of global difficulty was endured through disciplined practice at home. This practice sustains life. The guidance given long ago was to avoid meat and alcohol, which many adopted, leading to healthier generations. The treatment of animals is a concern; some advocate for not taking from them, aligning with vegan principles. Caution is required regarding new substances added to food. Personal health must be guarded by choosing pure nourishment. The collective practice ensures well-being for oneself and family. "Your power was this, that you stayed very good." "Tell them, 'No meat and no alcohol.'" Filming location: Austria

We must remain strong and clean
6:25 - 7:08 (43 min)
Recorded on
The human journey is from animal nature to divine consciousness. All creatures feel pain and desire life, yet they live and die in conflict. Humans evolved slowly, gaining knowledge and a form distinct from animals. With this came the realization to not kill or harm, to be good to all beings. This purity of non-violence and respect is the core quality that elevates. It began in India with religion, yet many now have forgotten, killing animals and each other, persisting in animal nature. Consider Jesus, who embodied this purity, not eating meat. We are now that Jesus. We must be strong. We are in Kali Yuga, a hard time where killing is rampant, even of motherly cows. We must remember purity: do no harm, do good for all. Start in small acts, like feeding birds and ants before yourself. Be strong, tell your family, and live as God's children, doing only God's work. "Then the realization arose within: 'I will not kill any of us. I will not do wrong to anyone. We will be great, we will be good to all living beings.'" "And so, this is like, now this is Kali Yuga’s coming. So, my dears, we should, we will help me. We should be hard, and your father, your mother, tell your mothers, tell your mothers, fathers, your brothers." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Yoga unites people
7:15 - 7:59 (44 min)
Recorded on
Observing spiritual practice reveals a common human foundation beneath different forms. Many traditions share morning rituals of purification, prayer, and offering. Christians go to church, kneel, and give donations. Hindus perform ablutions and sit peacefully. Muslims wash, pray from their book, and instruct their children. These external forms vary, but the internal impulse is shared. Yet, in many places, this dedicated practice is declining. People are distracted, and communal observance diminishes. True spirituality transcends these separate identities. In a hospital, a doctor does not ask a patient's religion or nationality before providing care. The focus is solely on the human being in need of healing. This illustrates our fundamental unity. Every creature has a body and can feel pain. A single needle causes suffering to the whole body. We are all interconnected. Therefore, do not claim one religion is superior. All contain goodness. Our shared humanity is the primary truth. "Not this is India or Christians or Muslims making or their name. No, only the human, and this comes to them." "In a hospital, they will not say, 'What are you? Which land is this?' But please bring this child or person who has fallen down." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Gurudev bring us to your shelter
8:45 - 9:17 (32 min)
Recorded on
The mantra is a prayer glorifying the master and requesting his shelter. Oṁ is the universal beginning and end. "Namaḥ" offers salutations. "Śrī" conveys respect. "Prabhu" means God. "Dīpa" is the light. "Nārāyaṇa" is God's name, indicating the master is that divinity. The request follows: "We are all servants. O God, we are surrendered to your shelter." It seeks permanent protection and the highest happiness of self-realization, beyond temporary pleasures. The master is the pure giver of great joy and destroyer of all sorrow, protecting those who follow the teachings in daily life. "Oṁ is the beginning, the middle, and the end of the universe." "He is the giver of great happiness and the destroyer of all unhappiness." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
When I was a child
9:25 - 10:16 (51 min)
Recorded on
The path requires personal action and grace, not mere waiting. We strive to connect and become better, yet many wait for life to happen. True progress comes from engaging actively. A personal history illustrates this: a father's astrological prediction, a mother's concern, and encounters with spiritual guides led to a decisive journey. Running from school and meeting a teacher clarified the path. An invitation to teach yoga abroad began with a refusal to eat meat, establishing principles that attracted many. This work expanded across countries, forming communities and ashrams through consistent action and adherence to truth. The key is to take life into your own hands; sitting in a waiting room yields nothing. Engage in karma yoga, participate, and give of yourself. Through active doing, destiny unfolds. "My father said, 'This child has a high IQ.'" "If you want to learn math, you can't sit and talk, 'Math, please come to me.' You must take life in your own hands."

The Vedas
10:20 - 11:05 (45 min)
Recorded on
The Vedas are the holy scriptures of Sanātana Dharma, representing a vast river of knowledge. This knowledge was originally transmitted orally from master to disciple through Śruti, listening, and Smṛti, memory. In the Kali Yuga, human memory declined. To preserve the Vedas, the sage Vedavyāsa dictated them continuously. Gaṇeśa agreed to write them down on the condition that the dictation never stop. Gaṇeśa used his own tusk as a writing instrument. The knowledge contained within the Vedas is immeasurable, likened to the entire Himalayan mountain range compared to a mere handful of dust. All spiritual paths and practices originate from yoga. The goal is to internalize this knowledge through practice and meditation, ultimately cultivating peace within oneself to share with the world. "Śruti is what we listen to from the master—remembering the master's teaching. Smṛti is memory, so that one becomes the master or the great receiver who knows everything by heart." "Till now, what you have learned is only as much as the dust in your hand. And the Vedas are like the whole Himalaya." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Always be in the present and go to Satsang
11:10 - 11:54 (44 min)
Recorded on
Enter the sacred space of satsaṅg with full awareness, leaving the outer world behind. This environment is a protective bubble of pure energy. Upon entering, consciously set aside all mental burdens and problems, as one leaves dirty shoes at the door. The essential practice is to be fully present in the current moment. Ordinary life is often lived in unawareness, while a yogī cultivates constant awareness of the here and now. Do not dwell in past sorrows or future anxieties. Choose to dwell in uplifting society, or satsaṅg, which strengthens and elevates. Negative company, or kusaṅg, weakens through complaint and fear. The energy of true satsaṅg can transform one's inner state, creating a personal golden age regardless of the external era. Carry this cultivated purity forward. Live life like wearing a pristine white dress, striving to keep it clean through positive thoughts and actions. Real satsaṅg is found in physical congregation with the Guru and the community. Utilize this rare opportunity for purification. Remain a humble disciple, always willing to serve through karma yoga, and continually strive for positive inner change. "When we are in a seminar or in ashram satsaṅg, try not to be in another space and time, 'buying shoes' or something else." "Which society we have, that we will become."

Practising with Vishwaguruji
12:00 - 12:57 (57 min)
Recorded on
A gentle yoga practice integrates postures, breath, and awareness of the subtle energy channels. Begin by lying on the stomach, placing the elbows down with care. Slowly sit up into a kneeling posture, sitting on the heels with hands on the thighs. The body contains many energy channels, or nāḍīs, with three primary ones: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. A central channel is the Vajra Nāḍī, a source of immense power for the whole body, related to the area between the toes. Practice involves specific postures like kneeling backbends and seated forward folds, coordinating movement with breath. The practice of Sarvahitāsana benefits all systems of the body. Conclude with listening practices and Brahmrī Prāṇāyāma to cultivate inner balance and self-awareness through sound. Regular, simple practice leads to ease. "There is one nāḍī. You know the word nāḍīs—the nerves." "This Sarvahitāsana, for example, myself—every day, two and a half hours, I am practicing that." Filming location: Slovenia
We are all disciples
13:05 - 13:35 (30 min)
Recorded on
The grace flows from Mahāprabhujī to his disciple, Maṅgīlālji. All revered beings are manifestations. When Maṅgīlālji requested his mantra, Mahāprabhujī declared he had no need, calling him the greatest. All are disciples regardless of origin. The complete ones are as described: life is essentially just two, Śiva and Rāma. Maṅgīlālji, made of Rāma, is above all and is a Jīvan Mukta. That liberated state is the ultimate goal for which one must strive. Blessings flow from their mantra. "Please, Gurudev, give me my mantra as well." "You have no need for that. You are Maṅgalāl, but you are the greatest of the great." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Happiness in the family
13:40 - 14:56 (76 min)
Recorded on
The spiritual path requires the profound surgery of ego dissolution, not physical operation. A story illustrates true devotion: Hanumān opened his chest to reveal Rāma and Sītā within his heart. The ideal is for the Guru's form to be revealed within one's own heart. This symbolizes the death of the ego, which is the true meaning of being born again. Achieving this state is not easy, as it requires overcoming the gap between ordinary life and divine consciousness. Family life offers a reflection of this unity. The initial pure connection between parents and a newborn child mirrors spiritual oneness. This unity must be nurtured carefully amidst worldly distractions like materialism and neglected spirituality. Daily spiritual practice, such as morning reflection and meditation, is essential to cleanse the inner being. Reading sacred texts provides guidance, but they must be engaged with sincerely. "He opened his chest, and in his heart everyone could see a small Rāma and a small Sītā." "It is written in very small, invisible letters that this means killing our ego."

Iyengar Yoga During Pregnancy: A Synthesis of Tradition and Experience
15:00 - 16:42 (102 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a unified science of experience, transmitted through specific methodologies for application in life. The term "Iyengar Yoga" refers to one such tradition, emphasizing precision and the use of props to make the experience of āsanas accessible to all, regardless of condition. This approach allows for stability and comfort in any circumstance. The practice is supported by both long-term observation and formal research, which shows physiological changes, such as increased GABA levels, correlating with reduced anxiety and depression. Applying this methodology to pregnancy involves strengthening the body and mind to manage stress and physiological changes. Specific, supported āsanas can address common issues like back pain and prepare for delivery. Crucially, practice must be guided by an experienced teacher within a framework of safety, collaborating with modern medicine rather than opposing it. The same principles apply in managing conditions like cancer, where yoga practices modulate stress responses, improve immune function, and help manage treatment side effects, contributing to better quality of life. The goal is always balance and integration. "Āsanas are descriptions, not prescriptions." "Samatvaṁ yoga ucyate. Balance is yoga." Filming location: Delhi, India
Peace Tree planting in Voderady
16:45 - 16:57 (12 min)
Recorded on
A tree is blessed for peace and wishes on the International Day of Yoga. Yoga is for the environment, not just humans. This tree symbolizes peace, like the Vṛkṣāsana posture derived from trees. The ceremony involves circling the tree with positive wishes. Attendees are given instructions for photos and seating, with a focus on children. Sanskrit prayers are chanted for peace. A welcoming ceremony includes the singing of a Slovak folk song. The event involves distributing items, primarily to children, and concludes with a call for everyone to perform their ceremony. "Yoga is not only for humans but also for the environment, this tree will do its duty." "This tree stands here for peace, harmony, and love. Those who have a wish, come to this tree... and state your wish."
Vegetarian kitchen in praxis (part 2)
17:00 - 18:08 (68 min)
Recorded on
Approach vegetarian cooking with freedom, focusing on flavor and digestibility. Food should be a pleasurable experience for everyone. Anxious adherence to many rules leads to joyless meals, which hinders proper digestion. True spiritual maturity is not indifference to food; the body savors taste, and enjoyment aids digestion. For soy allergies, concentrates are unnecessary as grains and legumes provide sufficient protein. Increased plant protein intake is not harmful. Regarding dairy, high consumption, especially of aged cheeses, is problematic. A small daily amount suffices for B12, which vegans can supplement. For cooking, use stable fats like palm or rapeseed oil for high heat. Frying is less harmful with antioxidant-rich plant foods. Proper legume preparation involves soaking, discarding the water to remove enzyme inhibitors, and cooking with spices. Combine legumes with vegetables, not other proteins, for easier digestion. Use legume flours as thickeners and egg substitutes to enhance traditional dishes. Master the use of spices toasted in oil. Create universally enjoyable food by upgrading local cuisine with these global techniques. "Taste belongs to the body, not to the soul. If you do not enjoy your food, you will not properly digest it." "Legumes contain more protein than meat... Therefore, one should regard legumes as a piece of meat and not combine and strengthen them together with other proteins." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga and Ayurveda
20:30 - 21:44 (74 min)
Recorded on
This is a gentle yoga practice integrating physical postures with meditative awareness. We begin by relaxing the body and observing the breath. The practice includes specific āsanas like Pavanamuktāsana for the lower back and digestion, and bicycle leg movements for circulation and knee health. All movements are to be performed slowly and with awareness of the breath. The practice emphasizes that āsanas engage not just the physical body but the five layers of being, from the physical to the causal body. Awareness of breath and sensation is the key, transforming movement into meditation. Correct alignment is stressed to avoid injury, such as keeping the lower back pressed to the floor during exercises and maintaining shoulder blades down during twists. The goal is to cultivate presence, release tension, and enjoy the practice without force. "When we practice āsanas, we are practicing with all five bodies." "The excellence of awareness: be here and now. That is the meditation, but in the movements." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We should not have duality
22:45 - 22:56 (11 min)
Recorded on
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

Mahaprabhuji was like a father to everyone
23:30 - 0:00 (30 min)
Recorded on
Mahāprabhujī's greatness drew people from far distances who traveled by foot, cart, or camel. His presence was a great event, and he was considered like Śiva Bhagavān. He meditated in a deep underground chamber and lived simply. He ensured everyone was fed before he would eat, acting like a father or mother. In that era, people in villages lived well and celebrated together; when a child was born, the whole community rejoiced. Many spiritual beings like him lived without concern for money. Now, with modern machines and distractions, people have lost this simplicity and constantly judge. True spirituality involves compassion, such as not killing animals for food. We should treat all as brothers and sisters and nurture the goodness within our hearts. "Who has not eaten? Have you eaten or not?" He would check everywhere. Only after ensuring everyone had eaten would he say, "Okay, now I will eat." "If you say we are very spiritual, and we are killing animals and eating them, then what is that?"
