The true human is defined by non-violence and purity, not merely physical form. A being that kills and consumes other creatures lives as an animal, not in the divine human consciousness. The practice of vegetarianism purifies the body and mind, aligning one with higher truth. This transformation is gradual but inevitable for those who listen. The disciple's nature is changed through proximity to the guru's wisdom, as sandalwood perfumes nearby trees. The teaching destroys base instincts. This wisdom must be shared universally to uplift all people. "Blessed is the family, blessed is the house, blessed is the village where Sadgurudev comes and we can have his darśan." "Like the sandalwood tree is transforming the bamboo tree... Slowly, our whole nature becomes transformed."

Yoga and Āyurveda are two wings for the soul's flight. This is a lifelong work of discipline. The first happiness is a healthy body, called niroga. A healthy family is the foundation; parents must remain together with children for harmony. Husband and wife require mutual understanding. Obedient children learn from parents who do not quarrel. Good neighbors are the fifth happiness. The sixth is having a milking animal and a kitchen garden. Āyurveda teaches that every plant has value, as shown in the story of Charaka. Discipline is essential: for medicine like chyavanprāś, follow strict dietary rules. Yoga begins with discipline; Āyurveda medicine begins with discipline. The cause of disease is eating constantly, which disrupts the digestive fire, Jāṭharāgni. Seek advice only from a trained Āyurvedic doctor who understands pulse diagnosis. These sciences make us healthy, grant long life, and aid spiritual achievement. The soul departs with speed, guided only by karma and spirituality. "The first happiness is a healthy body."

Yoga encompasses many paths, not merely postures or breath. The desire to practice must arise from within, never from force. God grants immense knowledge and freedom to choose, yet certain boundaries exist. Choosing negativity leads one away; choosing goodness aligns with the cosmic. Many yogis have researched inner techniques, all aiming for the same center despite different approaches. The practice of Brahmari Prāṇāyāma is a powerful technique for the brain, promoting coolness and resonance. It draws from natural sounds, like those in water or wind, and from observing creatures like bees and termites. This practice influences the subtle nerve system, offering potential relief. Always consult a doctor for serious conditions and let personal feeling guide your practice. "God said, 'I give you everything. You should know good or bad.' Yet, which path you take is your power." "Brahmari is very powerful, very good for everyone to live like that... These techniques ensure our brain is nice and cool." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

Practicing of the system "Yoga in Daily Life", Level 3 - Part 1, in Om Vishwa Deep Gurukul Swami Maheshwaranand Ashram, Jadan, Rajasthan, India on 27th of October 2009.

Yoga Nidrā is a state of conscious rest distinct from ordinary sleep. A story illustrates this. Sādhus once criticized a master for apparent daytime sleep. The master explained he was practicing yoga nidrā, a conscious sleep where one remains inwardly awake. In this state, awareness is fully alert while the body rests deeply, rejuvenating more than ordinary sleep. It is a practice for rare yogis. The practitioner's awareness turns inward, ascending beyond the physical. Chakras open like blossoms in this state. One perceives past, present, and future, connected to pure consciousness without physical base. The experience is of limitless light and bliss within the astral space. The mantra guides and sustains this awareness. True understanding of this technique comes only through the guru's guidance. "Listen, sādhus, I was not sleeping, I was in Yoga Nidrā." "In that sleep of yoga nidrā, you are completely awakened." Filming location: UK

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

The soul's path is confused by ancestral imbalance. Disrupted family lines create inner conflict, preventing the soul's straight journey. This confusion mirrors nature: water reclaims its path, birds follow ancestral routes, and grafted plants bear fruit but no fertile seed. Human life mirrors this; impure unions produce confusion, not lasting growth. One must purify karma and understand natural balance. Life ascends to a peak at fifty years, then descends. All are cells of God, rays of one sun. The divine dwells equally within every entity. Inner male and female energies must balance through specific prāṇāyāma techniques, leading to union. True wisdom is found within, not by seeking outside. "From our heart and soul, that soul follows its path." "Karma is only for humans, not for animals." Filming location: Slovakia

The path requires personal action and grace, not mere waiting. We strive to connect and become better, yet many wait for life to happen. True progress comes from engaging actively. A personal history illustrates this: a father's astrological prediction, a mother's concern, and encounters with spiritual guides led to a decisive journey. Running from school and meeting a teacher clarified the path. An invitation to teach yoga abroad began with a refusal to eat meat, establishing principles that attracted many. This work expanded across countries, forming communities and ashrams through consistent action and adherence to truth. The key is to take life into your own hands; sitting in a waiting room yields nothing. Engage in karma yoga, participate, and give of yourself. Through active doing, destiny unfolds. "My father said, 'This child has a high IQ.'" "If you want to learn math, you can't sit and talk, 'Math, please come to me.' You must take life in your own hands."

The Viṣṇu Sahasranāmam is a sacred recitation of divine names. It originates from the Mahābhārata, where Yudhiṣṭhira, grieving after the war, asks Bhīṣma for the supreme refuge. Bhīṣma's response forms this text, a core of Hindu devotion. It is widely recited, especially in South India, often in a musical style popularized by M.S. Subbulakshmi. The practice involves daily prayer, typically in the evening. The essence of the thousand names is ultimately concentrated in the name of Rāma. Reciting this single name holds the power of the entire text. The concluding tradition includes verses dedicated to Lakṣmī. "By glorifying whom does one attain physical, mental, and spiritual peace and purity?" "All you have to say is: 'Śrī Rām Rām Rāmeti Rame Rame Manorame, Sahasranāma-tattulyaṁ Rāma-nāma varānane.'"

A new dawn for humanity is here, set in motion for the whole world. Write something new every day with these new words. A verse has come, and the children will bring the new. You have done this work, and it is now placed within everyone. Become human again. Before sleep, tell yourself a new life comes. This good world is for all. Purity, health, and good will return. Tell all people. The new world comes slowly. Your country will be in peace. Make it in your heart and brain. Come back to your country and village. Practice yoga for a pure house, without meat or alcohol. Live healthy. What comes from elsewhere is not good. Return to local, good food and water. Remain in your country. Go to your temple. Give children good food. Be human with pure qualities. All gods are good and are with us inside. In your country, first purify it. Every morning upon waking, say "I am human." Then acknowledge Mother Earth before stepping down. See the power in a drop of water. See the whole world. Ask for purity and help others—humans, animals, birds. See life in all. You are human; therefore, have no problems and help others. "Open your eyes: I am human. Only this one word." "Tell yourself in your mind: 'New life, a new life comes.'" Filming location: Slovakia

The nature of ultimate reality and the soul is an unfathomable question. We speak of existence, yet certainty eludes us. We believe in an afterlife or liberation, but these are unverified thoughts. The material world shows consistency, like seeds yielding specific fruits, but the spiritual realm is unknown. We ask if the soul returns or merges, using metaphors like the ocean and its evaporating waters or a single spark causing a vast fire. These illustrate the puzzle of the one becoming many. Śaṅkarācārya taught that perceived reality is like mistaking a rope for a snake; the fright is real until the truth is seen. Yet the rope itself is not ultimate. Therefore, do not live in fear. Be happy and do your best to enjoy life in this body. The truth is described as "one in all and all in one." Practice meditation to go within yourself, for seeking outside yields nothing. External scriptures and teachings are varied and ultimately unreliable compared to direct inner experience. Maintain your health through practice, but understand that the breath, or prāṇa, is the unseen force controlling life. In the end, we are all in one. "One in all and all in one." "Everything we have to do ourselves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Morning program from Strilky, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing.

The discipline of fasting and the sanctity of marriage are foundational spiritual practices. Fasting cultivates physical and spiritual discipline, a practice observed in many traditions like Islam and Hinduism, though its observance has declined. It was established for concentration and respect, often observed by women for familial well-being. Marriage ceremonies contain deep symbolism for mutual protection and lifelong commitment. The wife circles the fire first, signifying her offering, then the husband leads to protect her. Respect is shown through the husband entrusting all earnings to his wife for household management, and she returns a portion to him. This mutual respect has eroded in the current age. Spiritual practice, including mantra, is essential to restore this sacred foundation. "First is the wife, and husband at the backside... After three times... the husband will be in the front... to protect her from everything." "When his wife steps in the house, then first his husband gives all money to her... she will take the money and put it somewhere where she is managing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Mahāprabhujī's greatness drew people from far distances who traveled by foot, cart, or camel. His presence was a great event, and he was considered like Śiva Bhagavān. He meditated in a deep underground chamber and lived simply. He ensured everyone was fed before he would eat, acting like a father or mother. In that era, people in villages lived well and celebrated together; when a child was born, the whole community rejoiced. Many spiritual beings like him lived without concern for money. Now, with modern machines and distractions, people have lost this simplicity and constantly judge. True spirituality involves compassion, such as not killing animals for food. We should treat all as brothers and sisters and nurture the goodness within our hearts. "Who has not eaten? Have you eaten or not?" He would check everywhere. Only after ensuring everyone had eaten would he say, "Okay, now I will eat." "If you say we are very spiritual, and we are killing animals and eating them, then what is that?"

A spiritual family gathers, united as brothers and sisters and as guru and disciples. The practice of yoga is expanding in many places. Purity is essential, meaning no meat and no alcohol. Some have strayed into these habits, which must be corrected. Guidance is also given for family life and marriage, advising careful selection for lasting harmony. The pure life and strong families are foundations for spiritual progress. Devotional singing, or bhajans, is a powerful practice that unites everyone. "Pure means that we don’t eat any meat and we don’t drink any alcohol." "We should wish for our children, and how you will be able to do very well, then it will be very good."

Oneness is the divine reality encompassing all beings. We exist as a small part of a vast creation, living in water, on earth, and in the sky. The Supreme has brought all life into being. Humans, as God's children, were given divine capability. Yet, claiming independence led to negativity and conflict. The solution is likened to opening a locked mala. The divine Name serves as the key to this lock. By focusing on a single, sacred name, one accesses the treasure within. This practice transcends all divisions, restoring harmony. "God gave everything to their children... What God can do, the human can do everything." "The best is on this one name... That is the best name." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We are identifying a place and performing a symbolic action with a cup. The place is depicted in a picture and contains a whirlpool in a park corner and a pond. A brightly painted cup is there, meant to stand upon a tree stump behind the pond. The action involves using group-colored pencils to tie the cup, but not to bind it completely, as it is already secured. The final instruction is to transform these pencils into the pencils of our group's boats. "It is in the picture. And did you recognize me? Yes, indeed." "First, we must tie it with pencils in the colors of our group. Must we bind it completely? No." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga in Daily Life Class of Level 1 Part 2 filmed in Sydney

The Kali Yuga presents a severe trial, demanding unity. A time of great calamity approaches, with disasters, disease, and agricultural ruin. Yet, a path exists for those with correct knowledge to merge with the cosmic Śiva. Śiva's nature is universally compassionate, embracing all people and religions without exclusion, unlike other forces that may discriminate. Śiva's blessing is the paramount solution. The precious human birth is easily squandered without understanding. Time, once lost, never returns. Therefore, one must remember Śiva constantly through repetition of His names, cultivating real devotion to the inner Gurudeva, who appears in many forms beyond external designations. This devotion is the essential grace. "Śiva said, 'All of you are very good. Let be.'" "Human life in this world is very, very precious. If you do not understand and you lose it, then you have no knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sleep reveals the distinction between the body and the true Self. In sleep, the entire body is present in the heart, offered to God. Proper sleep is essential for peace and progress, not found through medicine but through self-understanding. The sleeping body remains, but awareness travels, demonstrating consciousness is not confined to form. This experience shows the Self is separate from its temporary states. From the heart, consciousness moves through the navel, projecting everywhere while the body rests. This process mirrors death but is not death, as the navel anchor remains. Deep sleep brings relaxation and restoration, with the body functioning autonomously. The two aspects are dreaming travel and physical rest. Yoga nidrā touches this state of conscious sleep. "we are sleeping, but that is not us." "Love is the right yourself, yourself in your Self, which is happiness, the source of all greatness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Meditation is the path from action to inner peace, divided into active and passive forms. Active meditation is selfless service, or Seva, which purifies consciousness and overcomes negative karma. Human life is given for this purification. Yet, service alone may not answer inner questions. For that, passive meditation is required. This means withdrawing from the external world to be with oneself. It is a technique to understand one's inner world and discover the unseen qualities that disturb others. One must learn humility and acceptance to make spiritual progress and find peace. Human life is precious, with the high aim of self-realization, avoiding the tragedy of dying without it. Different religions describe one God through different relations and names, but truth is one. "Active meditation has an effect on your consciousness, on your mind, and definitely on your soul. It is a means to come out of negative karma." "Passive meditation means to withdraw your senses and your thoughts from the external world and, for the time being, be with thyself."
