There are very much good people everywhere
0:20 - 0:46 (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. This is open for you, all for us." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Enjoy your life and don't eat meat
0:50 - 1:13 (23 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Villach, Austria. Vishwaguruji is remembering his first coming to Europe. At that time people eat meat here. Life began in the ocean and then on the earth. Every creature consists of five elements. When we are born our fists are closed. After death, we all go to one place. But it is better for us not to kill animals and not to eat meat.

The Vedas
2:55 - 3:40 (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

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.
How shall we go further?
4:55 - 5:55 (60 min)
Recorded on
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."

The stone will melt
6:00 - 6:52 (52 min)
Recorded on
The sky of the self is the ultimate goal, requiring complete merger into its purity. Achieving this is both simple and profoundly difficult. One must dissolve into that sky, just as water blends into milk. Many cannot understand this truth initially, just as many did not recognize divine figures like Krishna or Rama in their time. The ocean of nectar is the illuminated knowledge within, but doubt makes one an inert stone within it, unable to taste the nectar. The Guru is the giver, and the soul must become like the clear, blemish-free sky. The heart, often hard as iron, must melt through inner fire to become pure and strong. The human body represents universal principles—head, hands, trunk, and legs—but all humans are fundamentally one, beyond division. Live to serve all creatures with health and happiness. "Prakāśa is that sky. Prakāśa is the sky, and it is like an ocean, and that is the ocean of nectar." "Śrī Guru Ātmā, Paramātmā, it is Paramātmā, the highest one. Paramātmā, that means Param, and that Param is beyond, beyond this whole sky." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Vishwaguruji's first visits to Czechoslovakia
7:00 - 7:53 (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
We have to go on that path
8:00 - 8:57 (57 min)
Recorded on
This bhajan is a meditation on the holy feet of Alak Purījī. Singing it places one in that divine presence, bathing in the Caraṇāmṛta that flows eternally. This sacred river, Alak Purījī, is the Divine Mother, Nanda Devī, whose radiance sustains the universe. It represents the primordial source from the Satyuga, a lineage from Brahmaloka. The path of devotion is as narrow as walking on a knife's sharp edge, requiring total concentration amidst worldly distractions. One must walk this path with unwavering focus on the Guru, not divided like cheese. The present age demands this focus to awaken and save souls through this grace. The word "Alak" signifies that which is beyond writing or full description. "Feel yourself in meditation at the holy feet and the holy dust of Alak Purījī." "The path is called Khaṇḍa Kī Dhār. The sharp part of the knife, and over on that you have to walk."

Human and God
10:10 - 10:43 (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

Our lineage is an ancient spiritual reality connecting all humanity. Our ṛṣi lineage originates from Śiva in the Satyuga, a primordial era for the entire world. Early humans lived simply in nature, yet violence existed. Sacred knowledge, including yoga in its fullest sense, emerged from Himalayan ṛṣis who lived on vegetation and performed yajñas. This wisdom spread globally. The seven ṛṣis, seen as stars, are ancestors to all people, linking traditions from Australian Aborigines to others. Our specific paramparā includes Ālakpurījī, witnessed in the Himalayas, and the miraculous Devapurījī, who restored life. The great Mahāprabhujī is worshipped as Bhagavān. A banyan tree at the Kathu ashram stands as a living witness to this truth, as affirmed by my Gurujī. We must keep this lineage clear. "Yoga means not only postures and prāṇāyāma, but everything is called yoga." "Those who are very spiritual people... they will not suffer. They will give their body off, and they will come to the Brahmaloka." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Why yoga is more than physical exercises
13:45 - 14:33 (48 min)
Recorded on
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.
Selfless action and bhajans
14:40 - 15:12 (32 min)
Recorded on
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.

You are like bees
16:10 - 16:52 (42 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A spiritual journey demonstrates the expansion of awareness through yoga and ethical living. Initial travels faced skepticism, yet sincere invitations led to growing gatherings. Permission from the Guru guided the return to Europe and the establishment of an ashram. Teaching emphasized yoga, meditation, and a lifestyle free from meat and alcohol. Many adopted these practices, experiencing health and peace. Observations reveal a growing global interest in this conscious living, though challenges and misunderstandings persist. Warnings are given about consuming certain foods like eggs and processed items due to unseen impurities. The path requires personal vigilance in diet and continued spiritual practice. "Please, Swāmījī, we are from these countries. But we would like to have you bring for yoga, practicing yoga." "Without him, without his long work, I would not be here, so it is for him a lot of thanks." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Remembering on the Gurupurnima Satsang
18:25 - 19:15 (50 min)
Recorded on
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?"

A grand ceremony is planned at the ancient Ālakpurījī temple. The temple, though once small, has grown and requires renewal. A beautiful chariot will bring a revered elder for the disciples. Many will participate in a slow procession with kalaśas and bhajans. All saṃnyāsīs are invited globally. The following day marks an anniversary connected to global peace work through the United Nations. This connection facilitates charitable action for humans, animals, and nature. Support for these universal causes is sought. "Whatever you can give, you may give. This money will go only for that purpose." "We help people, animals, and nature; we protect water and so on."

Practise faithfully and continuously

Recorded on
The daily sādhanā is your foundational and constant path, containing the essence of all techniques. Begin at the Mūlādhāra Chakra, where Gaṇeśa resides as the ruler of everything. This practice is for all, regardless of life situation, but requires pure living free from harm. Consistent practice leads to the heart and brings peace, while abandoning it leads to a fall. The knowledge comes from many great sages, not from one source. A detailed book maps the centers within. The ultimate reality is the union of Śiva and Śakti. Practice this core technique once daily. "He is the Lord of all lords, present everywhere." "This knowledge is not from my book alone. It is from many ṛṣis who have composed everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Practise every morning
21:20 - 22:01 (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

How do we practice Bhramari?
22:40 - 22:59 (19 min)
Recorded on
The practice of breath and Brahmari requires consistent, moderate daily effort, not excessive exertion. Specific techniques exist, analogous to a balanced meal with various components. The practice involves three primary focal points: the heart, the navel, and the breath itself. One must learn to inhale and exhale properly through the nostrils, cleaning them as needed. The Brahmari technique follows these points and involves working with the breath's subtleties. Practice it briefly, for about five minutes, twice daily. Do not extend Brahmari for too long. The correct method uses the nostrils, with the lips closed and the mouth slightly open. This disciplined practice, done correctly, yields benefit. "You must practice every day." "We should take our breath in and out with both nostrils." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
