A representative from the Czech Republic explains local regulations requiring ingredient labeling, while a devotee from London shares efforts to lobby in the UK and EU parliaments.

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Ljubljana, Slovenia. Satsang is the life of the human and it will lead us to the cosmic.

Now we can use it or lose it. The story of Devpurijis visit to Holiguruji. The story of Mahaprabhuji and Vishwaguruji with rudraksh malas.

The Mūlādhāra Cakra is the foundational center of human consciousness and destiny. The three primary channels are iḍā (mind), piṅgalā (intellect), and suṣumṇā (consciousness), which distribute cosmic energy. Suṣumṇā connects to the Ātmā and has key stations at the Manipūra, Anāhata, and Sahasrāra. Mūlādhāra, at the spine's base, is the root support. It holds Prārabdha—your past deeds and destiny—which shapes your life's conditions. This destiny is a powerful, subtle energy you cannot fight, but it provides the reason for living. To understand and work with this, practice svādhyāya (self-study), manana (contemplation), and abhyāsa (disciplined practice). These remove the three obstacles: mala (impurity), vikṣepa (disturbances), and āvaraṇa (the veil of ignorance). Purification leads to viveka (discernment). The divine energy within Mūlādhāra is Kuṇḍalinī Śakti, which can be directed positively or negatively. Awakening it through techniques like Kriyā Yoga and Prāṇāyāma brings wisdom and love. Mūlādhāra's red color symbolizes Śakti, the Mother Earth principle, in union with Śiva, consciousness. Honoring this foundation through a natural, yogic life purifies mental pollution and aligns you with your true nature. "Destiny is from the past. And so our destiny is dormant in the Mūlādhāra Cakra." "Svādhyāya, Manana, and Abhyāsa, these three principles will remove the other three qualities: Mala, Vikṣepa, and Āvaraṇa."

The second in the serial of the capsule program webcasts led by Swamiji. Useful yoga techniques for daily life,this time the Brahmari Pranayam, which does not require much time but have a great benefit. Recorded on 19th May 2010 in Vienna, Austria.

The earth and people of this land are sacred, infused with divine presence. Every child embodies the divine, and life's ideal is seeing every place as the abode of the Supreme. Your true nature is the cosmic Self, resting in the lap of the infinite. You have a universal right to contentment and joy, but the fleeting joys of the world bring subsequent sorrow. True peace is found within, at the source. The mind, however, is disturbed by countless thoughts, or vṛttis, like waves on a peaceful lake. Patañjali's yoga teaches the cessation of these mental fluctuations, which is more challenging now than in ancient times. You must accept three laws: cosmic, natural, and societal. Acceptance of natural change, like aging, is key to peace. Meditation provides strength to face life's inevitable truths and hardships, which are hard to digest. Theoretical knowledge of being the immortal Self is not enough; practical realization, which removes all fear, is the goal. Until then, follow the devotional path, using mantra and guidance. Shift self-inquiry from "Who am I?" to "How am I?" to purify your behavior and qualities. "Your true nature, your true nature is that cosmic Self residing in the Ananta, in the endless, in the cosmic mother’s lap." "Therefore, don’t fly too high. Try to stay. The devotional way, Bhakti Yoga, is beautiful." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

Perfection requires practice, not just theory. There are two types of masters: one who speaks and one who acts through dedicated practice. True meditation is not merely closing one's eyes; it requires the focused commitment of lagan, akin to love that overcomes all distance. On the path, many obstacles arise, serving as the best school. Do not seek glory from the crowd; true friends are few. Dharma—our duty and discipline—protects those who protect it. It manifests in relationships: between parent and child, husband and wife. Protection is mutual; safeguarding others safeguards yourself. Dharma, patience, a true friend, and a faithful partner are revealed in terrible times when all others oppose you. Without these, meditation is impossible due to mental disturbances, the vikāras: greed, insatiable desire, fickleness, and thievery of mind, word, and deed, including intellectual property. Stealing a master's teachings without acknowledgment creates bad karma. All true masters are connected like branches of one tree. Honesty and mercy are the roots of dharma; pride is the root of sin. Purify these first; then meditation can come. "Tons of theory is nothing compared with a grain of practice." "If you protect the dharma, the dharma will protect you."

A morning satsang on the guru's grace, devotion, and the power of teaching through stories. "Na’haṁ kartā means we are not the doer. We cannot do it. If we think we do, it may be confusing. So we give it with both our hands; we surrender it at the holy feet of Mahāprabhujī." "So, when someone asks you, and you give… The answer first to them. First, give your answers... The answer is yours because you are now a great man." The speaker, Swami Avatarpuri, opens with the principle of surrender to the guru's grace. He uses analogies, like a sculptor transforming stone into a worshipped deity, to illustrate how devotion elevates the ordinary. He shares a parable about a poor man whose selfless act of seeking answers for others ultimately solves his own plight, emphasizing the power of selfless service and positive speech. The talk concludes with personal anecdotes about the value of stories as a tool for learning and connection. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
