Practise every morning
0:05 - 0:46 (41 min)
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."

Why yoga is more than physical exercises
0:50 - 1:38 (48 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Deep means light, prakash. Prakash means spiritual awakening, knowledge. Even a blind person can see the inner light. Explanation of the bhiksha tradition - asking for food. Things can go in the best way or in a negative way. Yoga is not only asana and pranayama. We have to develop that quality.
The Essence of Guru Pūrṇimā
1:45 - 2:47 (62 min)
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."

Vishwaguruji's first visits to Czechoslovakia
4:05 - 4:58 (53 min)
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.

Remembering on the Gurupurnima Satsang
5:05 - 5:55 (50 min)
The path is known only with the Guru. Countless rivers flow through long valleys, yet without a guide, one cannot know the way. A disciple once sought initiation, asking for the external cloth of renunciation. The true Guru instead offered to color the disciple's own heart, not the outer garments. The Guru's grace is the disciple's sole bliss. One must learn to understand oneself within the body and beyond. When such a great being lives among humans, they reveal the divine. Only that true Guru can accomplish this; no one else can. A true Guru does not speak of leaving or make claims about the self. The disciple and Guru are one, yet the Guru holds the discipline. The pure drop from the source is singular and cleansing.
"Please make me a sanyāsī and spread this cloth to me." "Do you want your clothes to be colored, or do you want your own heart to be colored?"

Human and God
6:00 - 6:33 (33 min)
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."

How shall we go further?
8:50 - 9:50 (60 min)
The unity of all beings resides in the divine. Different paths and names lead to the same truth. All are coming to the Guru's grace. The soul is one, like a drop returning to the ocean. The physical body and worldly possessions are temporary and left behind. All humans, animals, and life are to be respected equally. A realized yogi lives in divine joy, seeing no difference between stone and diamond, beyond all dualism and desire. That yogi lives in the world as if dead to the ego, immersed in emptiness and peace. The essential practice is to be humble, loving, and without anger, recognizing our shared humanity and spiritual origin.
"Like the ocean, we know how much water is in the ocean. And it goes up in the air nicely."
"This yogi is living, but inside he is dead. He lives as if he is dead, but he lives, because there is nothing in him, there is only emptiness."

Practice with Swamiji from Auckland, New Zealand.
Mahaprabhuji was like a father to everyone
13:15 - 13:45 (30 min)
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?"

You are like bees
13:50 - 14:32 (42 min)
The eternal essence, the Ātmā, is the singular sweetness within all existence. The divine flow of grace manifests through many forms, yet the source is one. Just as a single father and mother give rise to many children, the one truth expresses itself through many gurus and disciples across generations. The physical body is temporary, composed of five elements that return to nature, but the ātmā is eternal. This essence is like a single drop that contains the potential of the entire ocean. Every being—humans, animals, trees—possesses this same divine sweetness within. Therefore, one must cultivate purity in every aspect of being and never harbor negativity or harm toward others. The practice of devotion, like the collective work of bees producing honey, allows this inner sweetness to flow forth and unite all.
"Otherwise, there is only one Guru, or one God, and then God will not be all Gurus, everybody."
"This is not a body, but ātmā, and this is like one drop, and this drop is not like a neat drop. This one drop can make immense water again."

Selfless action and bhajans
14:40 - 15:12 (32 min)
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.
Comparison of India and Australia

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.

About the thousand names of Vishnu
18:10 - 18:40 (30 min)
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.'"

We are never old for yoga
18:45 - 18:58 (13 min)
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."

Happiness in the family
19:05 - 20:21 (76 min)
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."

There are very much good people everywhere
20:25 - 20:51 (26 min)
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. This is open for you, all for us."
