The Divine Unity of Practice and Grace
5:35 - 6:53 (78 min)
The practice of yoga is a collective journey where individual effort merges with divine grace. We gather like passengers on one airplane or sailors in one boat, all moving together within the same spiritual aura. The core teaching is "Nāhaṁ kartā, Prabhuḥ kartā"—I am not the doer, the Divine is the doer. Our ashram functions as two universities: the worldly and the cosmic. True spiritual progress requires discerning the real from the unreal, just as a butterfly lands only on real flowers. Our practice must be sincere, not dry or artificial. Hold firmly to truth and complete devotion; do not speak in half-truths. Every letter and word we use carries divine potential and must be used with care. Spiritual attainment comes from unwavering dedication to truth and the Guru's guidance.
"Whatever we do is not what we have done. Mahāprabhujī has done it. So nāhaṁ kartā—I am not the doer."
"Without truth, you will not get mokṣa. Hold this... do not say half talks."

Gurudev bring us to your shelter
8:40 - 9:12 (32 min)
The mantra is a prayer glorifying the Grandmaster and requesting his shelter. Oṁ is the universe's beginning, middle, and end. "Namaḥ" means "I offer respects," often sung as "namo." "Śrī" signifies respect. "Prabhu" means God. "Dīpa" means light. "Nārāyaṇa" is a name for God, specifically Viṣṇu. Thus, the first part greets the respected God, the light Nārāyaṇa. The second part is a request. "Hama saba" means "we all." "Dāsa" means servant. "Śaraṇa" means shelter, and "pārāyaṇa" means we come or are in that shelter. The full meaning is a greeting and a plea for protection. Additional lines praise him as the purest, the giver of great happiness, and the destroyer of all suffering. The highest happiness is self-realization, not fleeting pleasures. He is merciful and protects his devotees. Being a devotee is not blind following; it means practicing the teachings, like yoga in daily life.
"Oṁ, greetings to the respected God, the light Nārāyaṇa. We are all servants of God; we take shelter in you."
"He is so merciful that he helps us emerge from the mess we create with our countless desires."

Building the Ashram
9:20 - 9:55 (35 min)
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."

The materialized OM
10:00 - 10:22 (22 min)
A refreshing wind signals progress as we prepare for the temple's opening in four months, a short time when busy. The leader's presence accelerates the work, though daily changes are subtle until seen from afar. This completion is a divine achievement of a great vision, yet it is not an end but a step in perpetual creation. Our role is to participate and support, for every small action has effect. This place transforms the land and society, carrying a universal vibration. We must invite skilled helpers to share in this work for future generations, a gift for all humanity to draw nearer to the divine.
"Time seems to run more quickly when we are busy, when we engage ourselves in activities."
"This area will never be completed. It is like the universe."

We are one family
11:50 - 12:07 (17 min)
This spiritual community is our true home, while worldly family ties are temporary bonds of karma. Our past shapes us, but here we are disciples. Complete faith and surrender are essential; a clean heart is the vessel for grace. Mantra and prayer purify the mind. Satsaṅg is vital for connection, whether in person or online. The Guru embodies the entire lineage; we cannot hide from this benevolent awareness, which provides what we need.
"This is our Gurudeva, our father and mother. So spiritually, we have our home here."
"If you truly have faith, you will not dwell on your problems so much, because your Guru will find all ways of solving them."

Advaita
12:15 - 13:12 (57 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Yoga retreat in Dungog, Australia. There are 64 different kinds of kriyas but it was chosen only a few of them for Yoga in Daily Life. The teaching of the Masters says that the quality of the Jivatama, Atma and Paramatma is the same. That called non-duality, Advaita. Practicing Asanas.
Chanting divine mantras
13:20 - 13:53 (33 min)
The Guru is the supreme grace and the sole means to liberation.
Without the Guru's grace, no being can cross the ocean of worldly existence. The Guru bestows self-knowledge, making one fearless. By listening to the Guru's verses, one attains all perfections and happiness. The Guru is the indestructible supreme reality, a boat of divine name carrying souls to the other shore. No one is a greater benefactor than the Guru. When a soul comes before the Guru, sins of countless ages are erased. Where the Guru's grace falls, no desire remains. Service to the Guru destroys all obstacles and reveals the light of the supreme self. One who serves the Guru is rare. The Guru's enemy is the worst; their work is never fulfilled. The Guru is Vishnu, the Guru is Shiva; the Guru is verily the supreme reality. The root of meditation is the Guru's form; the root of liberation is the Guru's grace.
"Guru samāna dātā koī nahīṁ, rājā barṣa āśa karai."
"Guruḥ śakṣāt parabrahma tasmai śrī gurave namaḥ."

How to keep our purity
14:00 - 14:24 (24 min)
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."

The power of Gurudev's blessing
14:30 - 15:00 (30 min)
The great fortune of satsang and the sacred power of prasada.
Being in satsang is our great luck, a refuge from the affairs of this age. This is not mental fast food but rich spiritual nourishment requiring strong inner fire to digest. Simply being in this radiant atmosphere grants energy and purification. I once thought greeting the teacher was a loss of lecture time, but after decades I see it is the most important part. The prasada received is very rare. A lecture is nice inspiration, but to bow and receive grace is precious. This act releases many karmas. Prasada is the essential, holy substance that can completely change a life, as can true darshan. We must prize this energy, keep it, and let it shine in our homes. Maintain purity within and transmit that. We are all one here in this practice.
"To come, to bow down, to greet, to come very near to your Gurudev and receive prasāda... we must realize how precious this is."
"That Prasāda is completely able to change our life, if we know what Prasāda is."

The first sound came from the ocean
15:05 - 15:41 (36 min)
The supreme reality is the form of primordial sound. Nāda, or resonance, permeates all existence from the Brahma-randhra. The ocean is the mother of the world, the source of life and this sound. Kundalini and the chakras represent an eternal process, not an end. In creation, two principles exist: male and female. Within each individual, there is a balance of these opposing energies; males contain female feelings and females contain male feelings, causing them to seek completion in each other. This union is the seed, composed of prāṇa and the elements. The horse is considered a complete male, a holy being without certain symbolic attributes. A king's relationship to his people is that of a father to his children. In the story, King Sāgar performed a horse sacrifice. The horse entered the hermitage of the meditating sage Kapila Muni. Sāgar's sons disturbed the sage, who opened his eyes and burned them to ashes with his gaze. The king begged for their lives, and the sage granted his blessing. These divine narratives recur across the ages.
"The mother of this our world is the ocean."
"In our whole body, as a man, we have more feelings than females inside. That's why they are going more towards the female."

What does Yoga in Daily Life mean?
15:45 - 16:11 (26 min)
This is the day of oneness, the middle point in our sādhanā. We must practice every year and go forward, not back. Yoga in Daily Life began from Czechoslovakia and has spread worldwide; it is for all. Our sādhanā comes from Ālagpurījī and Devpurījī, through Holy Gurujī and Mahāprabhujī. Holy Gurujī gave me this chair, which is from God. Sitting here signifies oneness. We are to become gurus, but that happens only at life's end through true inner practice, not merely in time. I work with Mahāprabhujī. We are all together in this. The Nandi statue sees Holy Gurujī's samādhi and Śiva; offering to it brings blessings. We must continue every year.
"All will be only one. It doesn't matter who, what will be. One in all, and all in one."
"This chair is from God, Bhagavān... then you become the Parabrahma, Paramatmā."

Yoga, Stress, and Cardiovascular Disease: A Cardiologist's Perspective
18:00 - 19:47 (107 min)
Chronic stress is a key, overlooked cardiovascular risk factor requiring treatment equal to hypertension or smoking. Cardiovascular disease is the global leading cause of death, with India having a particularly high burden. Despite medical advances, the disease grows, indicating a need for inexpensive interventions like yoga. A landmark study shows amygdala activity is anatomically linked to arterial inflammation and cardiovascular events. Yoga down-regulates the inflammatory NF-κB pathway, countering stress. Meta-analyses confirm yoga improves blood pressure, cholesterol, and other risk factors, but robust, multi-center trials are lacking to provide conclusive evidence for global acceptance. Integration of yoga's full holistic practice into mainstream medicine requires this high-quality data.
"Chronic stress should be treated on par with the other cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and smoking—but we ignore it."
"These practices are associated with a down-regulation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway."

Purify yourself!
19:48 - 20:15 (27 min)
The holy river's purity reflects our inner state, not its material condition. This sacred site is a center of divine energy where Śiva's first light appeared. The Śiva Liṅga represents the universal consciousness we seek. Your body and mind are filled with impurity—negative thoughts and desires that create suffering. This internal pollution is the true issue, not the external river. Marriage, as shown in sacred texts, is a pure commitment, contrasting with modern impurity. Your temporary pleasures lead to lasting pain. Only dedicated spiritual practice—mantra, sādhanā, kriyā yoga, and devotion—can purify you. Surrender through bhakti burns away past karmas. Do not blame culture; take responsibility without excuse. Begin your purification now.
"All the rivers flowing across this holy earth of India are uniting. It is that consciousness, that spirituality, flowing through them."
"Only one thing in human life now begins: make your mantra, your sādhanā, your kriyā yoga, and guru bhakti. There is no other way."

Everything is in your hands
20:16 - 20:51 (35 min)
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."
