This weekend provided a spiritual vaccination against the subtle influences of Kali Yuga. The age's decay enters through small compromises, like a mouse, creating spiritual inflation. We must learn to firmly say no to ourselves, for the gentle approach of this era ends with us caught unaware. A yogi, like aged ghee, improves with time; one is never too old for sādhana. This injection strengthens our immunity, but ongoing practice is essential. We must carry this light home and arrive at the coming opening in a state of spiritual readiness, not merely physical. Our perspective on food, practice, and community must grasp the deeper principle of non-harm. "To know how to say 'No' to ourselves." "We are never too old for our sādhana."

The Satguru Chalīsā is a sacred text for meditation and crossing worldly existence. We worship the all-pervasive creator, the supreme incarnation. Without this grace, no one crosses the ocean of worldly life. All sages meditate upon this presence. Spiritual knowledge is given to the heart, resulting in fearlessness and the end of problems. Reading or listening to the Chalīsā brings concentration, ends the fear of birth and death, and grants prosperity and fulfillment. Life becomes perfect and suffering departs. The verses describe the merciful protector who uplifts all beings. Those who gain this vision are supremely fortunate and their wishes succeed. The guru is eternal and unequaled. Approaching the guru cleanses eons of misdeeds. The blessing itself is everything. "Without Your mercy, no one can cross the ocean of worldly existence." "Those who will have a darśan of you, Gurudev, they will be the greatest, and they will all the time have concentration and feeling for God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice of Brahmari begins. Place your index fingers in your ears to block outside sound. Keep your hands and elbows steady. Perform the sound eleven times, not for very long. Remain relaxed and attuned to your own feelings; do not think of others. After eleven repetitions, bring your hands down. Later, lie on your stomach. Place your right hand's middle finger on your navel, just resting above it. Keep your body straight and relaxed. Practice consistently; even one day is beneficial. These techniques bring relaxation and greatness. "Place your index fingers in your ears so that you will not hear anyone from outside." "Remain relaxed and attuned to your feelings as far as you can. Don’t think about others; you do it yourself." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

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

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."

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."

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

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

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

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

Sleep reveals the distinction between the body and the true Self. In sleep, the entire body is present in the heart, offered to God. Proper sleep is essential for peace and progress, not found through medicine but through self-understanding. The sleeping body remains, but awareness travels, demonstrating consciousness is not confined to form. This experience shows the Self is separate from its temporary states. From the heart, consciousness moves through the navel, projecting everywhere while the body rests. This process mirrors death but is not death, as the navel anchor remains. Deep sleep brings relaxation and restoration, with the body functioning autonomously. The two aspects are dreaming travel and physical rest. Yoga nidrā touches this state of conscious sleep. "we are sleeping, but that is not us." "Love is the right yourself, yourself in your Self, which is happiness, the source of all greatness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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

A guided physical practice focusing on mindful movement and bodily awareness. Proceed slowly and with full attention to each motion. Begin in a kneeling position and stretch the entire body upward. Move through a sequence of postures involving forward bends, leg stretches, and spinal extensions. Maintain alignment by keeping knees and feet in one line and shoulders relaxed. Adapt postures for individual capacity, such as bending knees for back comfort. The practice aims to stretch the back, legs, and hip muscles while promoting relaxation. Focus on the sensations within the body rather than achieving perfect form. Conclude by allowing the hands and body to rest completely. "Stretch your whole body. Arms towards the ceiling, palms together." "Relax your neck, head down. Try to bend in your thoracic part of your spine and shoulders back." Filming location: Khatu, Rajasthan, India

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

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."

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?"

The Viṣṇu Sahasranāmam is a sacred recitation of divine names. It originates from the Mahābhārata, where Yudhiṣṭhira, grieving after the war, asks Bhīṣma for the supreme refuge. Bhīṣma's response forms this text, a core of Hindu devotion. It is widely recited, especially in South India, often in a musical style popularized by M.S. Subbulakshmi. The practice involves daily prayer, typically in the evening. The essence of the thousand names is ultimately concentrated in the name of Rāma. Reciting this single name holds the power of the entire text. The concluding tradition includes verses dedicated to Lakṣmī. "By glorifying whom does one attain physical, mental, and spiritual peace and purity?" "All you have to say is: 'Śrī Rām Rām Rāmeti Rame Rame Manorame, Sahasranāma-tattulyaṁ Rāma-nāma varānane.'"

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

The Australian outback presents a vast, unpopulated landscape distinct from settled farmlands. It is not a sandy desert but open scrubland with immense distances and little sign of civilization. Travel there is unstructured, allowing one to stop freely and experience peaceful campfires. The historical and cultural situation of the Aboriginal people is complex, marked by cultural destruction and a loss of self-esteem following European settlement. There are noted linguistic similarities with Indian languages, suggesting an ancient connection. Government policies of forcibly removing Aboriginal children created a lasting social gap, leaving many caught between two worlds. "You can see a long way and you don't see anything."

This weekend provided a spiritual vaccination against the subtle influences of Kali Yuga. The age's decay enters through small compromises, like a mouse, creating spiritual inflation. We must learn to firmly say no to ourselves, for the gentle approach of this era ends with us caught unaware. A yogi, like aged ghee, improves with time; one is never too old for sādhana.

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

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. If we can integrate both concepts, probably we can render wonderful results." Filming location: Delhi, India
