Understand your Atma
0:35 - 1:56 (81 min)
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."

We learned that we are human
2:00 - 3:02 (62 min)
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."
The Harmony of Yoga and Āyurveda
3:10 - 4:14 (64 min)
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 and Āyurveda will make us very healthy, happy, and give us a long life and spiritual achievement."

We should control ourselves
4:20 - 5:12 (52 min)
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."

Bhajan about Yoga Nidra - yogic sleep
5:20 - 6:10 (50 min)
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."

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 1 - Part 3
8:00 - 8:53 (53 min)
A morning yoga practice guides the body and mind through relaxation, breath, and movement. Begin by chanting Oṁ to purify the atmosphere. Lie down and consciously relax every part of the body from the toes to the crown of the head. Observe the natural breath. Practice the three components of full yoga breathing: abdominal, chest, and clavicular. Combine them into a single, wave-like breath. Perform gentle stretches and movements synchronized with inhalation and exhalation. These include arm raises, diagonal stretches, and poses like Pavanamuktāsana and Navāsana. Practice side bends and rotations for the wrists and hips. Conclude with standing balances and a final relaxation. Observe the difference in sensation from the beginning to the end of practice. Finish with Prāṇāyāma and the chanting of Oṁ.
"Relax all the muscles of your right foot without moving; let the relaxation occur in your mind."
"Influence your breath and feel how the abdomen expands with inhalation and contracts with exhalation."

Mahaprabhuji was like a father to everyone
9:00 - 9:30 (30 min)
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?"

What will happen when we will go out of the body
9:35 - 10:18 (43 min)
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."

Fasting and marriage
10:25 - 11:07 (42 min)
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."

Building the Ashram
11:15 - 11:50 (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."

Jaya Ram!
13:20 - 15:13 (113 min)
The recitation of the Sundara Kāṇḍa, the beautiful fifth book of the Rāmāyaṇa, is performed to welcome Rāma to his temple. This section narrates Hanumān's journey to Lanka, his devotion, and his meeting with Sītā. It details his encounters with demons, his wise counsel to Vibhīṣaṇa, and the gathering of the monkey army. The core teaching is that remembrance and devotion to Rāma are the glorious path. Without divine grace, one cannot attain true fellowship, and without fellowship, one cannot attain spiritual discernment. All strength and success flow from devotion to the Lord.
"Rāma kājūkārī phira me āvāṁ, Sītā kaisē udhī prabhu hī sunāvauṁ." (I have come to do Rama's work; how Sita is, only the Lord can tell.)
"Sunu daśamukha dyota prakāśa, Kabahu ki nā linha karai bhāśā." (Listen, ten-faced one, radiant like light, when have I ever taken back my word?)

How to prepare for meditation
15:20 - 16:09 (49 min)
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."

Marriage for a lifetime
16:15 - 16:53 (38 min)
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.

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.

Always be in the present and go to Satsang
17:45 - 18:29 (44 min)
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."

Yoga for Well-being
18:30 - 19:00 (30 min)
Stress deletes our good qualities from memory, leaving negative temperament and thoughts. Yoga is the remedy. Specific points on the face can release tension and restore memory. Soaked almonds with honey and milk develop calmness and memory, balancing the mind. Wellness means feeling relaxed and happy, rooted in yoga practice. Nourishment is crucial; a vegetarian diet supports memory, and milk calms the nervous system. Consider where and how you spend your time, seeking positive company and positive thoughts. True wellness begins at home with a harmonious, helpful family life. Practice yoga, prāṇāyāma, and spend time in nature to regain memory and balance.
"Yoga is the best remedy to relax and rid oneself of this stress."

Yoga in Daily Life: Health Promotion in the Czech Republic
19:01 - 19:14 (13 min)
Yoga in Daily Life systematically promotes health in the Czech Republic. The system began here in 1973, based on the traditional concept of Vedānta. It offers training on four levels: physical, mental, social, and spiritual, for everyone regardless of background. This aligns with the national health strategy, which now explicitly includes spiritual health. New government action plans until 2020 target areas where yoga can directly contribute: promoting physical activity, proper nutrition, mental health, reducing risky behaviors, and mitigating environmental stress. The system's sophisticated, methodology-unique techniques make it suitable for research and intervention programs, with publications available for specific health groups. The association has grown to become the largest in the country, with a widespread network of centers offering lessons.
"The state belongs to those that allow and highly appreciate cooperation with public, private, and non-governmental organizations."
"This harmonizing of the physical, mental, social, and spiritual level, is truly the only chance to keep peace and development in our society."

The great fortune is to be in satsaṅg, not entangled in the distractions of the age. This gathering provides rich spiritual food, not the mental fast food many consume. To digest this requires strong inner fire and practice. Simply being in this atmosphere purifies energy and grants strength. The most vital part is the personal connection—greeting the teacher and receiving prasāda. This act releases karma and provides sustenance felt long after. Prasāda is the holy essence capable of transforming a life, as is true darśana.

How to keep our purity
19:55 - 20:19 (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.'"

The sleep makes you healthy
23:35 - 23:53 (18 min)
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."
