The path to immortality is spiritual, not physical, and human life is the final chance to achieve it.
Physical immortality is impossible under natural law; what is born must die. True immortality is the soul merging into the supreme Brahman, becoming everlasting Ātmā. This is difficult, taking many births. The soul is bound by karma, creating destiny through action and reaction. Human life is the last milestone to escape this cycle and achieve oneness. Spirituality is not merely ritual; it is 24-hour purity in all action, thought, and behavior. It means seeing God in everyone, living with compassion, and harming no one. The human intellect, properly educated in fundamental dharma and human qualities, is key. Life's real richness is contentment and generosity, not material wealth. True spirituality is expressed in selfless love and kindness to all creatures. Yogic science describes the body's energy systems, like the 72,000 nāḍīs and key channels like Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā, which can be balanced through gentle practices for health and consciousness.
"Spirituality is 24 hours. Whatever we do should be pure: eating, drinking, behaviour, working, relations, etc."

How can we become a good yoga teacher?
2:20 - 3:40 (80 min)
The path of a true teacher requires lifelong practice and mastery, not quick certification. One cannot become a genuine yoga teacher from a short course or a book alone. It demands years of dedicated training under a real guru, similar to the extensive education required for a medical doctor. This is a gradual process of controlling one's own life and nourishment. The practice works by balancing the five sheaths of the body, from the physical to the blissful. Yogic energy is distinct; physical exercise expends energy, while yoga cultivates a balanced, internal source. The mind is like a wild horse that must be patiently tamed with love and persistence over a long period, not forced quickly. Authentic teaching comes from this deep, personal mastery.
"In order to become a yoga teacher... there is a further level."
"You cannot become a guru in some time. Work, work, slowly, step by step."

Worship every God and incarnation
3:45 - 5:00 (75 min)
The Christmas period invites reflection on divine birth and universal worship. Many people now think of Jesus, preparing and finding happiness. His life, though hard, shows a path to seeing God. Worship is an expression of joy. The birth of divine figures like Jesus and Kṛṣṇa involved great maternal suffering, a pain shared by all mothers, including animals. True worship respects this sacredness of life and mother. God resides within the heart, as shown in different traditions. Knowing God requires an inclusive heart that respects all faiths. Criticizing other religions indicates not knowing God. The act of killing animals for ceremony contradicts genuine worship, which must honor the mother in all beings.
"If you worship God, then first worship the mother."
"Those who said, 'No, only this and that is other, not good,' then it means still you don’t know what is God."

Only the One is the truth
7:10 - 8:23 (73 min)
Dharma and family harmony are central to navigating modern life.
Dharma is of two kinds: selfish and selfless. Selfish dharma forces personal desires, leading to transient outcomes like frequent divorce. Selfless dharma supports parents, children, and neighbors, creating stability. Modern life brings family disharmony, often from differing values between generations. Explain your perspective clearly to parents; they love you and seek your happiness. Avoid external childcare like babysitters and kindergartens, as they weaken family bonds. A parent should primarily raise the child. If both parents work, wealth is not guaranteed, but one income does not mean poverty, and family unity brings happiness. Strengthen family ties by involving children in gatherings and teaching them to love their nation and neighbors, fostering community. Our inner spiritual journey is vital: remember you are the Ātmā; the world is a dream. Practice mantras and stay on your path.
"Dharma is of two kinds. One is selfish... The other dharma is to support everyone."
"Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā. The supreme, only the one, is the truth. And this world is just a dream."

Mastering the subtle energies
8:30 - 9:11 (41 min)
Yoga is a practical path, not a theory. Survival in this age requires practice, not just philosophy. The current era is governed by material illusion, where excessive pursuit of wealth distracts from true purpose. True richness is devotion, which accompanies the soul eternally. Modern yoga often becomes mere physical exercise, missing its core aim of unifying the individual soul with the divine. Practice must be a systematic science, beginning with the body and advancing like an engineering discipline. Mastery then extends to emotions and thoughts through detachment and renunciation. This inner engineering leads to harmony and ultimate self-knowledge.
"The richest one is that one who has nothing but has bhakti—guru bhakti, devotion towards God."
"Yoga in daily life is a science of body, mind, and consciousness. Harmony of the body, mind, and soul to come finally to the highest destination."

Vaccinate or not vaccinate?
13:10 - 13:40 (30 min)
The discourse connects ancient spiritual festivals with modern well-being, emphasizing light, faith, and practical health. Diwali, the festival of light, originated long ago with oil lamps to worship Bhagavān Rāma. This tradition comes from a time of one religion and simple ceremonies. The light represents spiritual goodness contrasted with inner darkness. Scriptures like the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa cement these teachings. Today, various faiths—Hindu, Christian, Muslim—practice their ceremonies humbly, which is good. Our current challenge is health, stemming from improper food and chemicals. Vaccines are addressed; I took three doses and felt very well, but I do not force anyone. However, not taking it may lead to problems, like travel restrictions or separate communities. We must care for our food and water for good health.
"Dīvā means light. So that time, for one day, it was the festival with the lights."
"I would say that we should give all, we should take the vaccine and be nice."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing. People didn't meet Vishwaguruji personally for some years but they did their sadhana and they were with him. We love equally any people and any religion. A drop of the ocean is one with the ocean. We should know that we are humans. Kali Yuga is the last but it can turn to Satya Yuga also.
Christmas is the festival of Unity
14:50 - 15:45 (55 min)
Christmas reveals the incarnation of love, light, and oneness. Rarely is its true spirit known. Most celebrate without this knowledge, leading to conflict in God's name. True worship respects all religions and incarnations equally, seeing God in everyone. The Hindu tradition exemplifies this by honoring all paths. When we know Jesus as the embodiment of mercy, we cease causing suffering. God is one positive energy known by many names. Our duty is to adore this universal presence.
Festivals exist to cultivate love, kindness, and shared understanding, uniting families and communities. Human fear is profound and diminishes our strength. Spiritual faith, an injection of God, counters this fear and maintains peace. Culture is carried by people and brings joy; we must respect all cultures. The real celebration involves praying for the lonely and serving others, surrendering all actions to God to become instruments of light and peace.
"To worship that Jesus and that Christmas is real worship. If we do not respect others, then they suffer."
"Love unites, and jealousy divides. Love creates harmony, and doubts create fear."

Theory and Practice: The Two Horses of Realization
15:50 - 16:16 (26 min)
Realization requires both theory and practice. Theory provides the map, inspiration, and techniques, but without practice, we cannot move. Practice is the essential action that brings theoretical understanding to life. We need both elements integrated. Meditation manifests in two primary forms. Passive meditation involves sitting in stillness and self-inquiry. Active meditation is performing duties and creative acts with full, loving attention, such as caring for a child or creating art. This engaged action is also a spiritual practice. In life, we must manage our reactions. When faced with negativity or strong emotion, wisdom involves pausing, allowing inner storms to pass, and choosing not to retaliate. True strength is in calm non-reaction and forgiveness, which ends cycles of conflict. Self-inquiry meditation asks "how" we are, examining our thoughts and actions to find peace amidst disturbance by reframing our perspective.
"Tons of theory are nothing compared with a gram of practice."

Christmas satsang in Strilky
17:15 - 17:25 (10 min)
A Christmas reflection on blessing, non-violence, and divine victory.
Blessing is immortal, unchanged across all ages. We gather to contemplate divinity and the removal of negative karma. Many saints have appeared; today we remember Jesus. His birth brings a unity where no one is an enemy. Yet, even near him, negative forces arose—this is Āsurī Śakti, a black power that does not last. Divine glory and truth alone ultimately triumph. Reflect on the example set: to forgive, and to carry mercy. It is not good to kill animals on this day, for he was born among them and they were happy. To receive his blessing and Mary's mercy, give up violence and follow non-violence. Take a vow in his name to give up eating meat and using drugs, so life may become harmonious and one with God.
"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

Who will liberate us?
17:30 - 18:04 (34 min)
The unity of all spiritual paths and the essential grace of the guru are paramount. All teachings and religions are one, as all beings are God's children. We respect all holy books and figures, including Jesus on this Christmas day. The divine essence—whether called Viṣṇu, Śiva, or another name—is singular. We must transcend duality, recognizing our shared humanity and fostering humility and peace. The mind must be controlled through yoga. The guru provides the essential knowledge for liberation, surpassing even parental guidance. Life's attachments, like a spider's web, ultimately trap us. At death, no relative or friend can free the soul; only the Satguru can offer true refuge and lead one beyond the cycle.
"Guru Kṛupāhi Kevalaṁ Śiṣyaki Ānanda Maṅgalaṁ. When the Gurudeva is there, the disciple is happy, full of joy."

Taste of the Divine Nectar
18:10 - 19:13 (63 min)
The spiritual path is about tasting true realization, not pursuing powers without discipline. Amāvasyā is powerful for sādhana seeking siddhi, but without discipline, such practices harm like overeating. Our path is sāttvic yoga, ensuring harmony and development without harm. Modern yoga often lacks depth, taught by those with mere certificates, unlike traditional guru-paramparā systems. Self-realization's taste makes worldly pleasures bland. The soul is a traveler, a Bhavrā bee, wandering through births. One must develop discipline to become the purified swan, not the crow. Life is a journey where temptations like ice cream make one miss the train to liberation. Satsaṅg offers the unique taste of divine knowledge, like a rare chocolate. The year ends; reflect on achievements. Maintain a strong saṅkalpa and willpower for self-realization, as everything needed is within. Guṇḍāgiri is the essence, the nectar from the supreme.
"Yoga in daily life is a complete system that all of us together design, work with, practice, experience, and pass on."

We must be in unity
19:50 - 20:44 (54 min)
Yoga practice extends from the body to the absolute reality, requiring purity in all aspects, especially food. Many use animal products in medicines and foods, which is not aligned with pure yoga. This impurity in consumption is linked to the rise of diseases like cancer. True yoga teachers and centers uphold sanātana dharma, teaching pure practices, exercise, and meditation. Some now avoid discussing dietary purity, which is a concerning trend. All authentic teachings from various traditions ultimately converge on the same reality. Ancient Indian knowledge, preserved in scriptures like the Vedas, was vast. This knowledge was systematically destroyed, as at Takṣaśilā university, and later suppressed, leading to its decline. Efforts are now underway to recover this lost wisdom.
"To be peaceful means our food must be very clean and very good."
"The knowledge in this part of the earth is still very, very big and vast."

For meditation we need calmness
21:45 - 22:46 (61 min)
True meditation requires deep inner stillness, not mere restlessness disguised as practice. Discipline is essential, yet restlessness persists. The Guru's grace is fundamental for liberation, not divine beings. Stories illustrate this: Ramakrishna was told by the Divine Mother that only his Guru could grant moksha. Similarly, a disciple's purity and surrender are tested, as gossip and negativity spoil devotion like lemon in milk. Meditation demands mastering the three states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. One must journey inward through the body's subtle centers, represented by letters and chakras. Surrender is key, as shown in the allegory of the bamboo willingly cut by God to become a flute and later a channel for the Ganga. The aim is to reach a state of silent, vibrationless awareness.
"Mother, give me that liberation." She said, "I cannot give you that moksha which only the Gurudeva can give."
"God, I love you, but I am so afraid." God said, "Don't worry, my dear, I love you, but I will chip your whole trunk."

Around the world -- Yoga against diabetes from Czech Republic
22:50 - 22:57 (7 min)
Yoga addresses modern diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes through holistic practices. Prolonged stress disrupts physical and mental balance, leading to illness. The system views these conditions from a holistic perspective, where emotional and psychological stress contribute alongside organic dysfunctions. Practices such as relaxation, āsanas, and meditation can influence insulin-producing cells and control disease factors. These techniques shape our attitude toward health, cultivating relaxation, balance, and discipline to achieve physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The exercises are systematically arranged for accessibility, even for the elderly or those with limited mobility. Practitioners need only the determination to improve concentration, physical condition, and mental calmness. Teachers should emphasize slowness, calmness, and harmonization, instilling the principle of observing one's body and breath. The practice supports reducing adipose tissue and involves specific movements performed with mindful observation.
"Yoga practices shape our attitude toward health and life."
"Practitioners should be instilled with the principle of perceiving their own body, observing the rhythm of the breath."

Around the world - Yoga exercises specifically for women
23:00 - 23:36 (36 min)
This is a gentle yoga sequence for menstrual well-being. We begin with relaxation and full yogic breath to harmonize body and mind. Specific postures target the pelvic area and lower back. The first exercise involves bringing one knee to the chest, then extending the leg, performed slowly and consciously. This is followed by Marjari, the cat pose, to create a supple back. We then practice hip-opening postures like the half and full butterfly. A key squatting pose is emphasized for menstrual issues, grounding, and leg strength. We proceed to Setu Āsana, the bridge, to strengthen the lower body. A final side-lying balance pose benefits the lower abdomen. Conclude by feeling the effects of the practice.
"This exercise is especially good for menstrual problems, and also beneficial for the lower back, constipation, and hips."
"This pose is especially good for women... for irregular menstruation, or for heavy bleeding between periods."
