How to keep our purity
0:25 - 0:49 (24 min)
Recorded on
The human being contains a fundamental purity. We are diverse and cannot all become one, yet we are ourselves. Many people eat meat and are going down, but here we are pure. Open your eyes in the morning and see only "I am human." The earth is pure, and pure water comes from above. Within the vast ocean of existence, something very pure comes from within us, like a crystal. In sleep, we travel far from ourselves, yet return quickly. This inner experience is the purity we call a yogī. Our eyes are very powerful; we must be clear and controlled with them. Those who eat purely are very good. You do not need to know my name; it is inside. We have done work to maintain purity so others may not spoil it. "Open your eyes in the morning, so when we are just open. And so, when we open our eyes, then we see only, 'I am human.'" "And so, whatever it is with us, it is your beautiful best, all that is the purity. So that is what we call a yogī."

How to prepare for meditation
0:55 - 1:44 (49 min)
Recorded on
The primary purpose of human life is to purify all karmas and unite the individual soul with the Supreme. This is the main aim of receiving a human body. All other good works are also a duty. The Chin Mudrā symbolizes this union, with the thumb and index finger representing the Supreme and individual soul coming together. The three separate fingers represent the three guṇas, which are obstacles. Mastery over these guṇas is essential for true spiritual progress; without it, practice is futile. This hand position creates a neurological connection that brings relaxation and balance, dispelling anxiety and calming the mind. It regulates energy flow within the body. Proper posture is critical, as slumping disconnects energy and lets the guṇas dominate. One must sit upright and relaxed for energy to circulate freely. Sound originates from the navel, and relaxed physical alignment allows this energy to become resonant speech and vibration throughout the body. "Before that, whatever you do is just like chewing gum." "If you are not above these three guṇas, you cannot come forward." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia
Life is in the heart and power is in the navel
1:50 - 2:58 (68 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing. We have to understand out heart. We should concentrate on our heart three times per day. Navel is also very important. We are very good and spirituali but we should purify our heart and navel. The story of Nanda Devi and a tiger. The nam of the river Alakhananda is come from Alakhpuriji and Nanda Devi. Practising concentration on the heart and the navel.

In yoga, there are ethical principles as well. Practice should be be in the proper order to be successful. If we do it systematically, we will have good health.
Around the world - Opening of new YIDL center in Ptuj, Slovenia
4:00 - 4:38 (38 min)
Recorded on
We mark 25 years of teaching Yoga in Daily Life here, a voluntary mission from an authentic Indian school. We secured our own space, now becoming a blessed ashram. We have brought yoga to schools, libraries, and communities for all ages through dedicated effort. Yoga is ancient, a science of body, mind, and soul, intertwined with Āyurveda as natural knowledge for health. It is not passive meditation but active practice for concentration and peace. Its universal message is recognized internationally. We must return to natural living, embracing yoga and Āyurveda for well-being, seeing all cultures and people as one family under God. "Yoga is the science of body, mind, and soul." "Vasudhaiva Kuṭumbakam,' which means the whole world is one family." Filming location: Slovenia
Building the Ashram
4:45 - 5:20 (35 min)
Recorded on
This is our ashram, a place of being and bliss. We are all here together, sitting with sādhus and yogīs, and it is very good. The essence must be in our body. An ashram is our home. Understanding comes from above, from God to mother to human. It arrives directly, like from Akkar to Nābhi. Even a mother may not know how it comes, but it is our prophet. God is the only one and will become human. If humans belong to India, then all children are equal. That one will enter God, will enter the body. We must care for the human mind. We are here, and we will do the work. In construction, one must think about how people feel inside. A building is not just a roof; it should be pleasant. The best materials are natural, like wood and straw, which support humans. Materials modified by humans, like bricks and lime, are good. Stones like sandstone are neutral, but granite harms the body. Modern materials like steel and concrete are dead and not healthy. We follow Vāstu Śāstra, the science of building, so the earth supports everyone living there. We use lime, not just cement, for healthier buildings. Wood is the best material and can be used for multi-story buildings and large halls. "This is our ashram; this is our ashram. And when you see it, oh, it is very nice." "The best materials are natural, like wood and straw, which support humans." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Always be in the present and go to Satsang
5:25 - 6:09 (44 min)
Recorded on
Enter the sacred space of satsaṅg with full awareness, leaving the outer world behind. This environment is a protective bubble of pure energy. Upon entering, consciously set aside all mental burdens and problems, as one leaves dirty shoes at the door. The essential practice is to be fully present in the current moment. Ordinary life is often lived in unawareness, while a yogī cultivates constant awareness of the here and now. Do not dwell in past sorrows or future anxieties. Choose to dwell in uplifting society, or satsaṅg, which strengthens and elevates. Negative company, or kusaṅg, weakens through complaint and fear. The energy of true satsaṅg can transform one's inner state, creating a personal golden age regardless of the external era. Carry this cultivated purity forward. Live life like wearing a pristine white dress, striving to keep it clean through positive thoughts and actions. Real satsaṅg is found in physical congregation with the Guru and the community. Utilize this rare opportunity for purification. Remain a humble disciple, always willing to serve through karma yoga, and continually strive for positive inner change. "When we are in a seminar or in ashram satsaṅg, try not to be in another space and time, 'buying shoes' or something else." "Which society we have, that we will become."

Marriage for a lifetime
7:20 - 7:58 (38 min)
Recorded on
The discourse addresses the primacy of Kṛṣṇa with his consort Rukmiṇī. For years, emphasis has shifted to Rādhā, but the scriptural and marital reality is Kṛṣṇa and Rukmiṇī. Many deities are acknowledged, yet the foundational truth remains. The lesson extends to marital conduct, advising fidelity and family unity over transient attractions. Correct understanding is essential, as found in ancient texts. The teaching concludes with an explanation of a bhajan describing inner energy rising to the Ājñā Cakra, producing divine light and sound, leading to merging with the divine and praising the guru. "Radha is good, but not on Krishna’s knee." "I sing now the glory of my gurudeva." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
We are always close in our hearts
8:05 - 8:39 (34 min)
Recorded on
Our true home is found within the heart, beyond physical travel and external change. Observe nature's unity: birds live and die as devoted pairs; cows move as one herd. Humans also journey, leaving birthplaces for other lands, yet a longing for a true home persists. This inner home is not a location but a state of being, accessed through the heart. In deep sleep or meditation, we touch this inner oneness where all separation dissolves. Past experiences and loved ones, like a mother's presence, reside there. Even animals understand this inner truth, as they feel deep connections and know good from bad. Our physical body travels, but our heart holds everything. Therefore, live consciously, examining your actions, and recognize the fundamental unity in all life. Wherever you go, carry this understanding within. "From the heart, inside it is like my last one, my last love, last life." "In our heart, there is everything." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Yoga unites people
8:45 - 9:29 (44 min)
Recorded on
Observing spiritual practice reveals a common human foundation beneath different forms. Many traditions share morning rituals of purification, prayer, and offering. Christians go to church, kneel, and give donations. Hindus perform ablutions and sit peacefully. Muslims wash, pray from their book, and instruct their children. These external forms vary, but the internal impulse is shared. Yet, in many places, this dedicated practice is declining. People are distracted, and communal observance diminishes. True spirituality transcends these separate identities. In a hospital, a doctor does not ask a patient's religion or nationality before providing care. The focus is solely on the human being in need of healing. This illustrates our fundamental unity. Every creature has a body and can feel pain. A single needle causes suffering to the whole body. We are all interconnected. Therefore, do not claim one religion is superior. All contain goodness. Our shared humanity is the primary truth. "Not this is India or Christians or Muslims making or their name. No, only the human, and this comes to them." "In a hospital, they will not say, 'What are you? Which land is this?' But please bring this child or person who has fallen down." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Ganesji Doha
9:35 - 10:14 (39 min)
Recorded on
The auspicious invocation calls upon the remover of obstacles to begin any work. In this tradition, Gaṇeśa is the Guru. This bhajan is a request from the holy Gurujī for Gaṇeśa to remove obstacles in writing bhajan books. Gaṇeśa, the elephant-headed deity, symbolizes wisdom embodied. He resides in the Mūlādhāra Cakra, subduing past karmic influences to allow a fresh start. The bhajan uses many names for Gaṇeśa, such as Gajānanda and Gaṇarāja, praising him as the lord of Śiva's attendants. The ultimate intent is a camouflaged invocation to Mahāprabhujī. The final line reveals this, requesting the service of his lotus feet, which translates to serving all beings, exemplified by adopting a vegetarian diet. "Gajānanda Ānanda Mūrti, Kṛpākaro Mahārāj." "Viśva Dīpa Hari āpaho dijo caraṇakī sev." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Life will be easier if we don't eat meat
10:20 - 10:53 (33 min)
Recorded on
The core problem is violence and consumption causing suffering. My disciples asked for help for a sick relative who eats meat. This is the global issue: people consume meat and alcohol, creating suffering and karmic knots. Life, in any form, is sacred. Animals endure great cruelty. Practices like Kṛṣṇa consciousness show a better way through vegetarianism and prayer. Yet people revert to old habits. Humans, endowed with intellect and comfort, exploit and kill other beings who also possess senses and life. We build and accumulate but often lack true compassion, as seen in the lonely elderly who are abandoned. Our actions have consequences. We must help, but the fundamental solution is to stop the killing and consumption. "They are creating many different, complicated little knots." "Each and every living being, every animal, has this."

The ego pulls down completely
11:00 - 12:08 (68 min)
Recorded on
Morning program with Vishwaguruji from Wellington Ashram, New Zealand. Life is the most beautiful, but humans always have problems like greediness and killing other creatures. The day when we go we will not bring anything with us. Story of the proud king who thought that he is the best. The ego pulls down completely. We need some things for our life, other things we should give. Be faithful to yourself.
Mahashivaratri
12:15 - 13:43 (88 min)
Recorded on
The resonance of Aum is the primordial technique to connect awareness with Cosmic Consciousness. This sound pervades the universe and awakens Śiva. A protocol exists for divine invocation, beginning with Gaṇeśa to remove obstacles, ensuring the success of subsequent worship. The essence of Śivarātri is the transition from darkness to light, facilitated by this universal resonance. Creation emerges from the interplay of space and consciousness, united by energy whose movement is the sound Aum. This resonance triggers illumination, manifesting as Śiva, the self-born source. The practice is a science of union, directing inner awareness toward that infinite light within. "Scientists at NASA researched the sound in the universe and within the sun itself. I have a CD of this sound, and it is very clearly Oṁ." "Between these two, space and consciousness, where the energy begins, there is a kind of movement, and that is called resonance. That resonance is called nāda. That is Nāda Yoga, sound. And that nāda is a universal nāda which is called Aum." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
Shiv-Abisheka
13:50 - 15:02 (72 min)
Recorded on
A Śiva Pūjā is performed through invocation, abhiṣeka, and homa. The ritual begins with sacred mantras and offerings to Lord Śiva. Water, sandalwood, and sacred ash are offered with reverence. The five nectars and various substances like rice, betel leaf, and flowers are presented. A fire ceremony is conducted, where offerings are made with the utterance of svāhā. This act symbolizes the sacrifice of negativity and ego into the purifying flames. The recitation of the thousand names of Śiva follows, a profound meditation for this age. The ritual concludes with a peace prayer, affirming the eternal, complete nature of the divine. "Whatever negativity, ego, jealousy, or hatred is with us, we are sacrificing." "Pūrṇamadaḥ, Pūrṇamidaṁ, Pūrṇāt Pūrṇamudacyate." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia
Maha Shivaratri Celebration from Vienna
15:10 - 16:52 (102 min)
Recorded on
Śivarātri is a night when Lord Śiva is approachable for prayers and blessings. This gathering celebrates that divine proximity. Śiva is the unborn, ultimate truth and universal consciousness from which all creation arises. He is the source of sound and light, represented by Oṁ. The Śiva Liṅga symbolizes the round, entire universe. The individual soul, Jīva, is a drop that ultimately merges into the ocean of Śiva. Spiritual practice requires single-pointed focus; attempting many paths leads nowhere. Discipline in fasting and practice is essential, with no compromise. While uncertainty and pain in life are inevitable, worrying and suffering are optional. Do not dwell on the past or fear the future; work with confidence in the present. "Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional." "If you hold to one thing, you will master everything. If you try to do a little here and a little there, you will lose everything." Filming locations: Vienna, Austria.
Practising with Vishwaguruji
17:00 - 17:50 (50 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Rijeka Ashram, Croatia. Concentration on the heart and navel in a standing position. Practising asanas also in a standing position. Practising bhramari pranayama.
Spiritual poems
17:55 - 18:45 (50 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual writer perceives past, present, and future through meditation, crafting songs and poems that are dialogues with the self. Ordinary thought can either fuel problems or solve them. We must analyze our relationship with inner noise, distinguishing between necessary and nonsensical thoughts. Writing stems from concrete, lived experience—often the author's own psychic or situational struggles—transformed into universal insight. True creative work, done with love, becomes a lasting, divine offering. We must awaken from ignorance, for human life is a fleeting chance for spiritual progress. A true master is the awakened one who guides others with fresh, flowing wisdom. Ultimately, nothing we collect is truly ours; only what we give has lasting value. "One line is a question, and the second part is the answer. First, the spiritual seeker is asking, warning oneself." "Chet means awake, be alert, be conscious. Don't run here and there in the world. This will not help you. You have to wake up and go inside." Filming location: London, UK
The Sun Shines in the Kingdom of God: On Habit, Mind, and the Kośas
18:50 - 19:41 (51 min)
Recorded on
Yoga in daily life is the ever-shining sun, present everywhere. The program begins with purifying the body's impurities. Habit becomes one's second nature. A story illustrates this: a man jumps into a river to retrieve a coat, which is actually a bear. The bear catches him. The man wishes to leave the coat, but the coat does not leave him. This is the condition of dependency. People find time for negative habits but claim to have no time for meditation or good deeds. The mind is a reflection, like a face in a mirror; one cleans the mirror, but the spot is on the face. The mind must be corrected through techniques, good society, and meditation. The five sheaths of the being are the body of nourishment, energy, mind, intellect, and bliss. Liberation comes from mastering the mind, attachment, hope, and thirst. Give charity without expectation of return. This is the science of yoga for body, mind, and soul. "Habit is the second nature of the human." "Man marā na mamatā marī—your desires, what you want to have." Filming location: Alexandria, USA
Suffering makes us strong
19:45 - 20:17 (32 min)
Recorded on
The divine descends into suffering to bear the pain of the world. In the difficult age of Kali, all beings endure hardship. Even divine incarnations like Kṛṣṇa and Jesus underwent profound suffering, demonstrating this universal condition. An old man's story illustrates how worldly success fades into loneliness and pain, revealing suffering's inevitability. Our physical bodies and possessions are temporary, but the inner soul remains. All beings, including sages and gods, experience suffering as they absorb the collective anguish. This shared experience ultimately dissolves into the divine. "All ṛṣis, sādhus, gurus, and God—all were suffering. They are taking from others our heart, our pain." "Better is that we quickly die than hurry home. That is why maybe it is good." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Meditate on Gurudev's form
20:25 - 21:27 (62 min)
Recorded on
God is one, appearing in form or formlessness. Different names and forms point to the same supreme reality. The formless Parabrahma, Allah, or Holy Father is the ultimate. Yet, for those in a body, worship of a form is a valid path to that formless truth. Scriptures describe divine functions: Brahmā creates, Viṣṇu preserves, and Śiva dissolves, yet all are aspects of the one. The Guru is the living conduit to this truth, surpassing even these divine aspects. True guidance comes only through an authentic Guru rooted in a genuine lineage. Meditation and worship must be focused on that Guru. Without such a master, one remains lost, following empty signs and gaining no real liberation. "God is only one. There is no other god; there is only one God." "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara... Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma." Filming location: Sydney, Australia
Mahashivaratri Celebration by Czech Hindu Religious Society, Prague
21:35 - 23:21 (106 min)
Recorded on
Mahāśivarātri is a worship of Lord Śiva, celebrating consciousness, liberation, and the universal principle. The Śivaliṅga is the central focus of worship, representing the entire universe. Śiva is the uncreated, endless consciousness that manifested itself. Śiva and Śakti are not genders but represent consciousness and universal energy. The divine resonance, Nāda, is the form of Supreme Brahman, from which Śiva manifests. He is the protector, as shown by drinking the poison to save the earth. The temple is within; self-realization comes from being present with a mind at zero. All religions are contained within the eternal truth. The duty is to protect the environment, as every atom is Śiva. Chanting the Mahā-Mṛtyuñjaya Mantra offers protection. The individual soul merges with the universal soul. "Śiva means consciousness. Śiva means liberation. Śiva means the truth." "Within you is the ocean of bliss, and within you is the fountain of joy. Within you is the immortal one." Filming locations: Prague, Czech Republic.
Mahashivaratri satsang from Fiji
23:25 - 23:51 (26 min)
Recorded on
The grace of Mahāśivarātri is profound. We are blessed on this holy night. Lord Śiva declared this night as his worship for all ages. You have preserved Sanātana Dharma across generations; do not abandon this eternal path. It is the main highway, while other paths are like small sticks. Many saints and avatars have upheld this dharma. A temple for Lord Shiva is established here; offer simple water, fruits, or flowers. This place in Fiji is considered very divine, where many find peace and shed their stress through spiritual practice. Lord Śiva is Bholenāth, the innocent and compassionate one. His grace is illustrated through stories. A thief, climbing a Śivaliṅga with muddy feet to steal, was instead blessed for his inadvertent offering. A poor hunter, whose water and Bilva leaves accidentally worshiped a liṅga, was shown mercy. He spared the honest deer that returned to him, and Śiva subsequently appeared, granting the hunter's family prosperity and liberating all. These acts define the great night. "Sanātana Dharma is the highway, the main road. Other paths are like small sticks." "You are such a great bhakta; you offer yourself to me. What can be a greater bhakta than you?" Filming location: Fiji Islands
Iccha Shakti
23:55 - 0:52 (57 min)
Recorded on
The power of wish must be guided by discernment. Whatever you wish is possible, but you must know what you are wishing for. A wish is desire, encompassing all worldly and spiritual aims. Before expressing a wish, know its nature, for once fulfilled, you cannot bargain with the result. Within desire lies Icchā Śakti, the willpower to fulfill it. Yet, without clear understanding, this power can lead to harm. You must discern the fruits of your desire before you act. Therefore, develop viveka—discernment and common sense—before you wish. Without it, desire will bring suffering, like a monkey stealing a basket hoping for honey but finding a cobra. Do not strongly wish without knowing the reality. Good, spiritual wishes God will fulfill. Negative wishes will also be fulfilled, resulting in suffering. The ultimate truth is devotion; in this age, repeating the divine name is the support that allows one to cross the ocean of ignorance. Śakti is the one energy behind all movement and life, appearing in many forms but singular in essence. "Whatever you wish, everything is possible; nothing is impossible." "Before you do some action, you should know the form of the action." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
