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."

Our tradition holds the Satguru as supreme, and this period is significant. I have been here 56 years; our path is beyond mere exercise. For at least 20 years, I have said disciples should have this specific dress—it is a screen of ourselves, not just clothing. Worldwide styles change, and it is your choice, but we must have respect. I am sorry to say, but attire above the knee is not good. Our yoga people here are doing this. From today, I ask for good dress and color in our yoga and āśrams. We will have our own standard. We have little time; this is a primary point. Soon we will have ceremonies at our Om Ashram with many programs. You know Bhagavān Śiva. Nandī is a great being who conveys messages to Śiva. You first make praṇām to Nandi, then to Shiva; your message will go automatically. I tried and got something for you all. "Maheśvarānand, exercise is okay, but you have to go further, five speeds beyond that." "This dress... is not just clothing. It is a screen of ourselves, a screen."

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. Guru and disciple are always in connection with each other. Just as the relationship between mother and child is forever, even if they are not physically in the same place.

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 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

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 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

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 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

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

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Swami Gyaneshwar's report from Jadan. You know, I've been living in India for a while now. If you come to Jadan from Jaipur, you will feel the special atmosphere, the peace of the place. In the minds of Indian sages, secular and spiritual knowledge go hand in hand. Karma yoga is selfless help. In Jadan, there is always the possibility to continue the work. In the West, people are used to being alone at any time, so it is difficult to work together with others. Chanting bhajans creates the emotional basis for karma yoga.

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

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.'"

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 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."

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."

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."

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

Vegetarianism is presented as the optimal path for health, mental performance, and planetary survival. Animal foods lack protective antioxidants and amplify environmental toxins. Cooking meat creates harmful free radicals. Dairy consumption correlates with higher osteoporosis rates, a calcium paradox. Scientific consensus now confirms plant proteins are sufficiently digestible, even for children, eliminating past concerns. The average protein intake greatly exceeds requirements; plant sources alone provide adequacy. Practical cooking focuses on making vegetarian food appealing using familiar spices and meat substitutes. Smoked tofu can replace smoked meats in dishes. Seitan, made from wheat gluten, can be prepared as strips or rolls to provide a expected "piece of meat" on the plate. For flavor, fry tofu or seitan to create a crust, then marinate in sauces like tomato with herbs or ginger with soy sauce. Dry-roasting spices in oil unlocks their flavor. Pressing tofu removes water for better flavor absorption. Boiling dry soy chunks removes bitter oligosaccharides before use. "Foods of animal origin do not contain antioxidants." "The actual protein requirement is about 50 grams. If we excluded all animal foods and ate only plant-based, we would still receive sufficient protein." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga in Daily Life systematically promotes health in the Czech Republic. The system began here in 1973, based on the traditional concept of Vedānta. It offers training on four levels: physical, mental, social, and spiritual, for everyone regardless of background. This aligns with the national health strategy, which now explicitly includes spiritual health. New government action plans until 2020 target areas where yoga can directly contribute: promoting physical activity, proper nutrition, mental health, reducing risky behaviors, and mitigating environmental stress. The system's sophisticated, methodology-unique techniques make it suitable for research and intervention programs, with publications available for specific health groups. The association has grown to become the largest in the country, with a widespread network of centers offering lessons.
