When I was a child
0:05 - 0:56 (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."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.
We keep the light in our hearts
1:00 - 1:49 (49 min)
Recorded on
from Villach, Austria. We are lucky to meet in this city. I came to Vienna for the first time in Austria. Back then, not so many people practiced yoga. Some people thought that yogis slept on beds with nails. After Vienna I was invited to Linz. That's how I came to this area. And the seeds that were planted began to grow. Light is life, darkness is death. How long does the light in the lamp burn? How much oil is in it? After a while, the divine light of life goes out, whatever we do. We keep this light in our hearts.
Life begins from the navel

Yoga unites people
2:35 - 3:19 (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
We are never old for yoga
3:25 - 3:38 (13 min)
Recorded on
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 Vedas
3:45 - 4:30 (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
Mahaprabhuji was like a father to everyone
4:35 - 5:05 (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?"

Always be in the present and go to Satsang
5:10 - 5:54 (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."

Darshan and dhan
6:00 - 6:57 (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
Vishwaguruji's first visits to Czechoslovakia
7:05 - 7:58 (53 min)
Recorded on
The early spread of yoga in Central Europe began through sincere invitations. People from Czechoslovakia requested teachings despite political warnings. A core group of devotees, including a professor and a young woman named Lalitā, facilitated the first programs. These gatherings attracted diverse individuals from various faiths. The practice grew steadily from these humble beginnings. The foundational yoga system was later developed and compiled into a book. This work established a lasting community of dedicated practitioners. The journey was marked by personal devotion and collective effort. "They said, 'Please, we would like to bring you to Croatia.' I said, 'Okay, I’m okay.'" "From there it began, very much Indian, my Indian yoga for me, the whole world." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Holy Guruji and Sri Mahaprabhuji meeting in Jodhpur. How bhajans are performed in India and around the world.

The Essence of Guru Pūrṇimā
9:50 - 10:52 (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.

We have to make our food
11:00 - 11:53 (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

Practise every morning
13:15 - 13:56 (41 min)
Recorded on
The human being is a morning realization. Everyone is a gift from God, seeking something through practice. All religions have prayers and mantras for cleansing; Muslims are very dedicated. In the morning, upon waking, open your eyes inside. The first realization is "I am human." What does that mean? We were sleeping, unaware, and now we are. Animals exist, like birds that mourn, but they do not understand as we do. Women are very spiritual in their daily practices. Among creatures, it is said the horse is uniquely "the man." Do not kill hope. Our practice is to open our eyes, say "I am human," and place hands on the earth, our mother. We must not harm the earth with chemicals. We have many problems and doctors now because of our actions. We must return to being human. Think: if I am human, will I kill or eat meat? That is not human. Practice this each morning. "Early in the morning, they also give mantra. Among them, there are those who can do it and those who should not." "In the morning, when we first get up, you open the eyes inside... I am human. Yes, I'm human." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā: Purification of the Intestine and Stomach
14:00 - 14:40 (40 min)
Recorded on
This lecture details the Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā purification techniques. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the cleansing of the entire intestine using warm, lightly salted water, performed early in the morning on an empty stomach. It involves drinking water and performing specific movements and postures to guide the water through the system. This practice is beneficial for conditions like high blood pressure and digestive issues but is not advised for those under 15, individuals with active ulcers or hernias, or pregnant women. Preparation includes a light diet the prior evening. The process continues until the expelled water runs clear. A strict diet must follow for at least one week, avoiding alcohol, meat, fish, eggs, and raw foods. Kunjal Kriyā is the cleansing of the stomach, performed after Śaṅkha Prakṣālana by drinking unsalted water to the point of fullness and then voluntarily expelling it. This practice helps purify the stomach and can aid those with bronchial asthma. The session concludes with rest and a meal of specially prepared kicharī. "The best time to do Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is in March, the beginning of September, the end of May, and before the winter." "After Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, you have to keep a diet for at least, strictly, seven days, one week, and up to one month." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Happiness in the family
14:45 - 16:01 (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."

Gurudev bring us to your shelter
19:30 - 20:02 (32 min)

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."

About the thousand names of Vishnu
20:10 - 20:40 (30 min)
Recorded on
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.'"

There are very much good people everywhere
20:45 - 21:11 (26 min)
Recorded on
We are all one people on a shared spiritual journey. We learn through experience, ashrams, and community. Our path involves understanding God, our connection to nature, and cultivating trust. We welcome all people, respecting them whether they seek deep practice or just yoga exercises. We offer teachings and simple hospitality like water or fruit. Our centers, like Mahimā Jyoti, serve this purpose. Spiritual practice requires discipline, like avoiding meat, but real peace is the essential question. My travels, like to Czechoslovakia, taught about cultural exchange and maintaining principles without imposing them. I was told not to take things, not to speak of God in a certain way, and not to carry stories between lands. I explained I am a yogi without religion or need for money. In our ashrams, we treat everyone equally, offering basic care. The core is that all beings—humans, animals—are equal. Our duty, our dharma, is to create a holy space where all can come to meditate, learn, and find peace, maintaining reverence in that environment. "All are equal—Christian, all Hindus—and they like it very much." "If you cannot sit on the floor, you can have it like this, but then learn, learn anything, or concentrate, meditate.

The sleep makes you healthy
21:15 - 21:33 (18 min)
Recorded on
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
Comparison of India and Australia
21:40 - 21:58 (18 min)

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."
