We should be good for others
0:15 - 0:43 (28 min)
Recorded on
A cold night in a forest reveals our fundamental unity and compassion. I recall a family sheltering animals from the cold, embodying selfless care. This contrasts with a world pursuing material gain and harming life, as in hospitals. True yoga is not mere exercise but daily kindness to all beings, aligning with our inner goodness. We are interconnected; anger and negativity harm this unity. By returning to thoughts of the divine guide within, we cultivate inner beauty and purity. In this challenging age, we must remain strong, help others, and recognize we are all one essence. "Try to thank you, to thank you all the times." "This is what we call yoga in daily life."

Sri Bhatnagar Becomes Disciple Of Mahapraphuji
0:44 - 1:11 (27 min)
Recorded on
A skeptic's encounter with a true master reveals the power of divine grace and the necessity of receptive listening. An agnostic man dismisses spiritual gatherings as unrealistic. He is challenged to meet a genuine master. He agrees, secretly preparing difficult questions as a test. Upon arrival, the master greets him by name, acknowledges his suffering, and reveals he knows about the forty questions. The man is astonished, feeling he has met a divine personality. Their discussion unfolds with the master answering each question before it is spoken aloud. The man's inner thirst is quenched, and he enters a state of samādhi. Later, he experiences a vision of universal light and composes a prayer of gratitude. When leaving, the master instructs him to live a life of truth and benefit to all beings. The story illustrates that divine knowledge is received not through incessant questioning but through quiet, open listening. When approaching the divine, the request is already known; one must be still to hear the answer. The initial reaction of doubt—the "but"—must be overcome to truly listen to the essence behind the words. "How do you know all this?" "Mahāprabhujī, you yourself are the unearthly incandescence, the unearthly light." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Self is happiness
1:15 - 1:53 (38 min)
Recorded on
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect. "If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere." "The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 155b

Prāṇa is a subtle life force distinct from physical oxygen. Our physical body requires this earth-specific oxygen, but the astral body, composed of prāṇa, can travel without it. Consciousness operates through various states. Sleep is a natural samādhi where dreams occur, yet they offer imagination, not verified knowledge. Deeper samādhi allows for conscious travel and accurate perception beyond the senses. Bhāva samādhi is a devotional trance, while dhyāna samādhi is deep, tranquil meditation. Higher states transcend time and seed-based desires, leading toward nirbīja samādhi, a state of pure knowledge without duality. True spiritual progress requires guidance, self-realization of one's inherent qualities, and a foundation of holistic health through proper diet and self-reliance. "Prāṇa is something more than oxygen. Oxygen is a subtle energy, and it is more specific to our Earth." "In samādhi, you can say the shop was closed. This is the difference between sleep, dream, and samādhi." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Earth suffers from human exploitation, and our food has been destroyed by the loss of natural seeds and chemical pollution. We have dug coal, diverted water, and injected chemicals, making the mother suffer. Seeds that once lasted for generations now must be bought anew, and our vegetables are tasteless and dangerous. Educated people have ruined everything. Many diseases arise from this corrupted food. Yet, some are returning to cultivate good seeds at home. We must detach from worldly attachments to move toward the Supreme. Attachment, or moha, is the heaviest obstacle to self-realization. Discipline and satsang are the paths to remove this attachment. A story of a detached king illustrates that true renunciation means no attachment, even to family. Our senses and mind constantly seek more, but we must direct the mind through satsang and wisdom to control attachment while in the body. "Holy Gurujī used to say that Bhagavān Viṣṇu put seva and mokṣa in a scale. And the scale of seva was much heavier than mokṣa." "Attachment will always be as long as we have this physical body, as long as the indriyas are active. There will always be. But we should know this: that we wake our wisdom to know and to decide."

AUM and Chakras
6:00 - 7:05 (65 min)
Recorded on
The resonance of OM and the balance of the nāḍīs govern health and consciousness. The body is a system of 72,000 nerves, centered on three primary channels: the left, the right, and the central Suṣumṇā. The left nostril, or moon channel, governs emotion and change, influenced by lunar tides. The right nostril, or sun channel, represents steady consciousness and solar fire. Their alternating flow every 14 minutes balances the hemispheres and glands. Prāṇāyāma purifies these channels. Techniques like Nāḍī Śodhana involve alternate-nostril breathing to cleanse the nervous system indirectly through lung and blood purification, not by forcing air into nerves. Chanting OM, with its four sounds originating from the navel, creates resonance that heals internal organs. Physical practice must begin with gentle body warming to prepare the joints and circulation, not with advanced postures. Headaches are addressed through hydration and postures like forward bends to increase cranial blood flow. Breath exercises like Bhastrikā and Kapālabhāti cleanse the head and remove tension. Ultimately, these practices relax all nāḍīs, dissolve stress, and restore natural health. "The left nostril is the moon. The principle of the moon is water, and the principle of the water is emotion." "We cannot put the air in our nerves, but it goes through the purification of our lungs, our oxygen."

Christmas Time
7:10 - 8:17 (67 min)
Recorded on
December is a month of divine happiness for gathering and rejoicing. This time originates from ancient harvest festivals where communities stored food and celebrated together. Such celebrations exist across cultures, like Holi in India or local festivals in Austria. This period creates a collective spiritual atmosphere. It is a time to forgive, to cleanse negative energies, and to express love and respect within families. The essence is to create joy and spiritual connection, regardless of specific religious narratives. The holy figures like Jesus or Krishna are remembered not only for their joy but for the profound suffering they and their mothers endured. Their stories remind us to pray for them and to cultivate love in our own hearts. "Rejoice, rejoice... this month is the month of happiness." "His holy Gurujī said, 'Kṛṣṇa knows the Gītā.'" The foundation of well-being in Ayurveda is a series of happinesses. The first happiness is a healthy body, nirogī kāyā. The second is wealth and harmony in the home. The third is a good, supportive partner. The fourth is obedient children. The fifth is good neighbors. True health begins in the kitchen; diet is the primary treatment. The greatest obstacles are the tongue's two functions: harmful speech and craving for taste. Discipline in eating is essential. Practice prāṇāyāma to cleanse the body and support health. Reduce food intake gradually, bite by bite, over months to see transformation. Do not blame others for poor health; take responsibility for your habits. "Pehla Sukh Nirogi Kaya, dujā Sukh, ghar meṁ māyā." "The tongue is a gun. When you pull the gun’s trigger, the bullet... is gone. It will not come back." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria
Where can we see God?
8:25 - 9:36 (71 min)
Recorded on
The divine journey seeks God within creation and the self. We profess belief yet cannot see God directly, only witnessing the supreme's creation in all entities. Humans possess intellect surpassing animals, yet still fail to understand or honor this creation, even in elements like water which is life. Self-realized masters may represent God, but the ultimate search continues within, obscured by many covers. We often disappoint the divine, as illustrated by the story of the bamboo asked to sacrifice for a greater purpose, teaching that God works to remove our ego, pride, and cruelty. Another tale of a climber demanding proof shows that trust requires surrendering control, not bargaining. True devotion means recognizing God within every creature and oneself. Practice like prāṇāyāma purifies the nervous system and balances the body's energies through the chakras, promoting health and harmony. This science of yoga advises moderation, natural living, and releasing negative emotions to maintain well-being. "God is within us. God is within us and in every creature."

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 1 - Part 3
12:00 - 12:53 (53 min)
Recorded on
A morning yoga practice guides the body and mind through relaxation, breath, and movement. Begin by chanting Oṁ to purify the atmosphere. Lie down and consciously relax every part of the body from the toes to the crown of the head. Observe the natural breath. Practice the three components of full yoga breathing: abdominal, chest, and clavicular. Combine them into a single, wave-like breath. Perform gentle stretches and movements synchronized with inhalation and exhalation. These include arm raises, diagonal stretches, and poses like Pavanamuktāsana and Navāsana. Practice side bends and rotations for the wrists and hips. Conclude with standing balances and a final relaxation. Observe the difference in sensation from the beginning to the end of practice. Finish with Prāṇāyāma and the chanting of Oṁ. "Relax all the muscles of your right foot without moving; let the relaxation occur in your mind." "Influence your breath and feel how the abdomen expands with inhalation and contracts with exhalation." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
We are different but we are one
13:00 - 13:48 (48 min)
Recorded on
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
We should have roots
13:55 - 14:54 (59 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a progressive path requiring tailored techniques for growth, like a child advancing through life stages. We must evolve beyond mere physical exercise to teach yoga's full science, especially at universities where its depth is often unknown. Many traditions and teachers exist, each with their own disciples, just as every mother has her own child—all are valid and should be respected. True roots come from genuine lineage and practice, not from those who claim exclusivity. Modern life severs these roots, leading to disconnection, much like a leaf blown from its tree. Our goal is to merge with the divine, like a drop returning to the ocean, through sincere practice and loyalty to authentic teachings. "University, but I don't know what yoga is. So, we have to teach them at the university. Because only physical exercises are not enough." "Similarly, everyone has their mother, their father, their children, friends, etc. And that is what we call the best path." Filming location: Slovenia
The Practice of Śalabhāsana and Complementary Āsanas
14:55 - 15:54 (59 min)
Recorded on
The practice of śalabhāsana and complementary āsanas builds strength and influences consciousness. Śalabhāsana strengthens the posterior muscles and works on self-confidence. Hold the posture with full lungs and descend on the exhalation, though breathe naturally if there is high blood pressure. Remain soft while using strength. It corrects the pelvis and benefits the prostate and menstruation. A variation with hands under the body stretches the digestive tract and is ideal before meditation. Avoid excessive bending in the lumbar area; focus the bend in the thoracic part. Follow with relaxation and pavanamuktāsana to release lower back tension. Sarvāṅgāsana benefits peripheral circulation and balances thyroid function, but avoid it with hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, or during menstruation. It improves circulation to the head and allows a subtle exhalation. Its counterpose is bhuḍaṅgāsana, which stretches the front and strengthens the arms; bend in the chest area, not the most flexible part. Halāsana stretches the back and affects the neck, emphasizing exhalation. Matsyāsana opens the chest, works on the thyroid and breathing, and is performed with inhalation through the nose and exhalation through the mouth. A one-legged balance pose aids concentration and nervous stability. Ardha Matsyendrāsana regenerates the spine and has anti-inflammatory properties. An inverted posture improves circulation to the head and spiritual development. Conclude with Tāḍāsana and Prāṇāyāma. Bhastrikā Prāṇāyāma intensifies the digestive fire and burns waste; relax the abdomen and let breath flow spontaneously without forcing inhalation. Avoid it with a brain tumor or elevated body temperature. Chant Oṁ to withdraw inward. "Remain soft in the posture, even while using strength." "In this posture, simply allow one subtle, extended exhalation." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

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.

The stone will melt
18:15 - 19:07 (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.

Yoga is One
20:20 - 20:51 (31 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the practice of yoga in daily life. Many have taken the teachings and given them other names, but what they offer for practice is often incomplete. True yoga requires full discipline, not merely physical exercises. A core principle is non-harming; one must not eat meat or consume alcohol. Many modern adaptations accommodate rather than uphold these standards. Our comprehensive books provide the correct path. The practice is for everyone, regardless of background, but it demands daily commitment to the entire teaching, not just discussion. We must return to the authentic beginning and proceed step by step. "It says meat can be eaten and so on? No." "Yoga is the yoga. It is the yoga, and that is all." Filming location: Austria

We have to go on that path
20:55 - 21:52 (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."

22:00 - 22:56 (56 min)

Conscious consumption is imperative for health and spiritual integrity. Many now consume insects and altered foods, a practice spreading globally. This causes physical harm, as foreign substances introduce problems into the body. We lack the proper enzymes to digest such matter, leading to potential blockages and disease. The food system contains hidden ingredients, with labeling often absent in restaurants. Market forces alone are insufficient, as some insect-based products are now cheap and popular. Collective endurance and personal action are required. Cook at home using known, raw ingredients to ensure purity. Unity and sustained refusal to buy harmful products can change industry practices. Historical movements succeeded through shared sacrifice and will. Your health and autonomy depend on what you choose to consume. "To digest such matter, we would need a special enzyme which we do not have." "The best food for our health is no-label food." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
