The destiny of the jīva cycles through realms from Brahmaloka to the human form. Brahmaloka is a unified state beyond the duality of heaven and hell. From this state, divine forces manifested the earth and the 8.4 million life forms. These creatures, though mute, possess awareness and remember God in their own way. Humans alone are endowed with discriminative intellect, yet often act with greater cruelty than animals. All existence operates on the principle that life consumes life. One's actions, especially harming other creatures, generate karma that must be experienced. This human birth is a rare opportunity; one must not squander it by living solely for sensory pleasure like an animal. Govern your body as a king governs a kingdom, abandoning harmful habits that destroy it. "Eating, drinking, and enjoying, animals can also do. Oh, man, men, humans. If you are doing only this, then what is the difference between you and animals?" "How many animals have you eaten? How many goats have you eaten? The many goats you have eaten in your life—first, you have to come into life as a goat and let your throat be given." Filming location: Badrinath, Hiamalaya, India

The call is to spiritual unity and single-pointed devotion. This tradition originates from a timeless source where meditation and mantra began. That knowledge has now spread everywhere. All traditions speak of the same essential truth. The crucial point is to become one with the One, not to wander aimlessly. Such wandering is negative, meaning a descent of consciousness. In this age, many are falling and going astray, creating problems. Yet, the essence of this holy time is the Divine Mother principle. "Everybody understands everything, but the point is this: you must become one in the One." "The mother is that Mother... But the heart of it is the mother." Filming location: Villach, Austria

True wealth is found in spiritual vision, not material illusion. The darśana of the Guru is the highest blessing, surpassing all ritual and pilgrimage. Mere repetition of scriptures or practice of yoga is insufficient without this grace. People chase gold and money, mistaking transient possessions for real wealth. Even family bonds, like husband and wife, are often expressions of attachment, not the enduring harmony seen in nature. The real wealth is Darśana Dhan—the vision of God—which leads one forever upward. Worldly roles and gifts, like a mother's ring, are temporary tokens; the true legacy is spiritual awareness. Modern relationships fracture quickly because they lack Sat, the eternal truth. Satsaṅga is communion with that truth, which once attained, does not leave. This world is māyā, a great deceiver composed of the three guṇas, which entangle us through sweet words and desires, primarily attraction between genders and to riches. "Having darśana of the Sadhguru is higher than all pilgrimage." "Māyā is a great cheater... that aspect of God which can deceive us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The mother is primary, her connection to the child is fundamental and sacrificial. A mother carries the child and will protect it above all else, even at her own physical peril. The father provides and is good, but the mother's bond is immediate and profound. One must have good children and be good parents. Current difficulties arise when parents did not act properly. The spiritual practice involves the navel center, which originates from the father's seed but is received and known by the mother's body. From a single seed comes great growth. "A mother is a mother. For the child, she is very humble and very good." "The nābhi is which came from the father... but the mother, she was feeling that my child is in something, in my body, yes. Father doesn't know, he cannot understand, but she knows." Filming location: Austria

Education requires recognizing the teacher and learner within oneself. If you cannot find the guru inside, you cannot recognize an adequate external guide. One must simultaneously be governed and govern, embodying this contradiction to harmonize self and society. True education awakens self-education first in oneself, like a candle needing its own flame to light others. Modern schooling historically replaced one fixed identity, like a peasant, with another, like a worker, but today that rigid model is destructive. We need education for flexible identity, learning to manage energy for fight or peace, as in yoga. Freedom is not limited by others but created through them; society is a necessity for liberty, not an obstacle. Our words and thoughts matter, as we are largely water, and they influence our very structure. "If you are not able to recognize the guru in yourself, how can you recognize your guru in another person?" "The other person is not an obstacle but a necessity for me to live my freedom."

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." "If you trust in me, then leave your hands free." Filming location: Raumati Beach, New Zealand

This gathering is about devotion, purity, and practical spiritual guidance. Our heartfelt devotion creates a peaceful atmosphere where the divine presence is felt. The cow is revered as a mother, a source of grace and healing that offers everything. You must avoid harmful foods like eggs, which cause quick disease and many problems despite what others may say. Personal stories show the power of dietary purity, leading to peace and health. The spiritual power within objects like a prayer mala is very great and internal, meant to be respected and passed on properly, not discarded. We must clean ourselves through pure practices, water, and discipline. The essence involves foundational spiritual principles. "People often come and say, 'My God is here.'" "Please, please... do not give to your children, or to any person... do not bring it any time and do it like this. Your disease will become very, very quick." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

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."

The human birth is a rare and urgent opportunity. The scriptures and all aspects of existence point to a single imperative. The sole necessity is to fix the mind upon the Guru's name. This precious human form is exceedingly difficult to obtain again. One must become truly human in this very moment. By being steadfast in this practice, the vision of the true Self is attained. Do not waste this fleeting chance. "Oh lamp of qualities, Hari, fix your mind on the Guru’s name. This opportunity will not come again; be human." "This is the totality of knowledge: to be human."

The initiation of eight sannyāsīs was a highlight. The Master decides readiness; these were not easy individuals, each a long effort to guide. One is profoundly honest, immediately embodying the role. Another prepared for decades through hardship. Three were from Australia, one from Israel, and one Indian who left too quickly. The final one is a devoted and humble soul. Your spiritual progress is ultimately in your own hands. Teachers and masters can only support you; the decisive action is yours. A story illustrates this: disciples, jealous of their Master, trap a bird and ask if it is alive or dead. The Master replies its fate is in their hands. Your liberation, like the bird's life, depends on your decisions. Do not delay in good actions. Regarding dress, disciples should wear white; sannyāsīs wear orange. Becoming a sannyāsī is serious, not a fashion; it helps carry the spiritual light but requires true readiness and independence. "Master, if you know everything, then tell us what is in my hand." "My son, whether this bird is alive or dead depends on your hands." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 180b

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

The Earth sustains all life, and yoga is the path to harmony with it. Yoga in Daily Life is a global spiritual practice for health and peace, distinct from mere physical exercise. The world contains 85 million species across water, earth, and sky. Humans are but one form of life. The current age, Kali Yuga, is a time of suffering where humans disrupt nature, poisoning water, air, and food with chemicals, causing disease. This suffering is a consequence of harming other creatures. True yoga practitioners, maintaining pure practices, can remain resilient. The solution is a compassionate, vegan lifestyle and spiritual discipline. A key practice involves focusing on the navel, the seat of life, with specific breathing and sound vibrations to promote health and balance. "Yoga is for the yogīs, and yogīs are there for their energies and blessings for the whole world." "Humans and animals are different... We are not God, my dear. What we are eating, what we are doing, how we are—we know who is like that, and we are killing them." Filming location: Maribor, Slovenia

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: Villach, Austria

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

A gentle yoga practice integrates postures, breath, and awareness of the subtle energy channels. Begin by lying on the stomach, placing the elbows down with care. Slowly sit up into a kneeling posture, sitting on the heels with hands on the thighs. The body contains many energy channels, or nāḍīs, with three primary ones: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. A central channel is the Vajra Nāḍī, a source of immense power for the whole body, related to the area between the toes. Practice involves specific postures like kneeling backbends and seated forward folds, coordinating movement with breath. The practice of Sarvahitāsana benefits all systems of the body. Conclude with listening practices and Brahmrī Prāṇāyāma to cultivate inner balance and self-awareness through sound. Regular, simple practice leads to ease. "There is one nāḍī. You know the word nāḍīs—the nerves." "This Sarvahitāsana, for example, myself—every day, two and a half hours, I am practicing that." Filming location: Slovenia

Yoga and Āyurveda are interconnected sciences for controlling the mind to achieve health and liberation. Yoga is the instrument to control the fluctuations of the mind. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life, comprising body, senses, mind, and soul. Maharṣi Caraka's philosophy states disease cannot occur without a distortion in the mind; therefore, controlling the mind is essential for health. The process for this is yoga. The soul is the conscious sovereign, while the mind is the active doer. To stop the mind, the soul must command it through techniques culminating in samādhi. The eightfold path of yoga begins with Yama and Niyama. One must control the guṇas, cultivating sāttvic feelings. Stabilizing the mind in the soul yields attainments and is the aim. From the Āyurvedic view, yoga requires a body. Even with a controlled mind, one experiences results of past actions, as unexperienced karma is not destroyed. Yoga's techniques to control mind and body are found within Āyurveda. By controlling duality through yoga and achieving samādhi, the cycle of birth and death ceases. "Yoga is an instrument to control your cittavṛtti—the fluctuations of the mind." "Ātmā sthe manasi sthire: when the mind is stable and controlled in the Ātmā. This is Yoga."

Yoga in Daily Life Class of Level 3 at Sri Devpuriji Ashram, Zagreb, Croatia, January 2011

Yoga is the science of body, mind, spirit, and soul. Every practice has a purpose. Begin by relaxing in Ānandāsana with palms up to open the chest and lower the shoulders. Legs apart relaxes the pelvis. Abdominal breathing massages organs and calms emotions. Practice always within comfort, never forcing. Pavanamuktāsana stretches the spine and stimulates digestion. Marjari Āsana mobilizes the spine; let movement guide breath into harmony. Paścimottānāsana stretches from the perineum upward, affecting the Maṇipūra Cakra. Prasārita Pādottānāsana works the inner legs and digestion. Jānu Śīrṣāsana brings the body into balance through equal practice on both sides. Mṛgāsana strengthens the knees and calms the nervous system. After postures, rest in Ānandāsana to feel the effects on circulation, breath, and consciousness. "Allow the movement to cause the air to enter and the movement to cause the air to exit. In that way, in the fastest possible manner, we remove stress." "Āsanas do not act only on the body. They are also a correction of our behavior; they act on our consciousness." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The language of oneness transcends spoken words. Many scriptures and languages exist, yet spirituality reveals a universal oneness. We learn through gaze and feeling, not just vocabulary. The best language is understood by all, like music or song, where sound vibration creates unity. We do not know God's name or voice, but in our heart, all humans know there is some God. Even saying "no God" speaks to that understanding. Language is only the outer side; the feeling is the true language. When words fail, we understand through hands, eyes, and silence. From life's mixture, we seek purity and oneness. In a hall, a little stone can represent the silence that unites us. This silentness is oneness. In contrast, a noisy festival is different. You are happy and need nothing. "The best language is when people from many countries, each with their own language, suddenly all understand." "In our heart, all humans know there is some God."

Preparing guṇḍā and saṅgrī involves sourcing and cooking desert vegetables. These vegetables grow in Rajasthan and are harvested, cooked, dried, and prepared at specific ashrams. They are soaked overnight after this process. Cooking begins by tempering cumin seeds in oil, followed by onions and a wet spice mixture. The soaked vegetables are added and cooked until dry. Chapatis are prepared separately, with emphasis on proper rolling and cooking technique. The final dish is seasoned with souring agents like mango powder or yogurt, added carefully off the heat to prevent curdling. This dry preparation is practical for travel. "Always know where our food comes from, what we are eating, and through whose hands it has passed." "Guṇḍā Sabjī and Saṅgrī Sabjī are very good for traveling because they are dry sabjīs, not liquid."
