Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Oosterhout, Noord-Brabant, The Netherlands. Bhajan singing. Remembrance of an old disciple about how she got to Vishwaguruji. There are some generations of disciples of Vishwaguruji living in Europe. A disciple's heart can become gold. Don't give up practising. Our life can become like a safe journey in an aeroplane.
We should control ourselves
2:00 - 2:52 (52 min)
Recorded on
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

How to keep our purity
3:55 - 4:19 (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."

The Harmony of Yoga and Āyurveda
4:25 - 5:29 (64 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

Understand your Atma
6:35 - 7:56 (81 min)
Recorded on
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
Practicing led by Vishwaguruji
8:00 - 8:39 (39 min)
Recorded on
A relaxing movement practice for the body. Lie down with legs straight and together, hands straight back. Remain relaxed and do not adjust clothing. Bring both legs straight up, then down, keeping the body still. Place palms under shoulders, bend elbows, and raise the trunk before lowering again. Raise both arms and legs together while inhaling deeply. Interlock the thumbs and hold the feet behind the back, then rock forward and back. Practice stillness and maintain straight legs. Conclude by sitting up normally and relaxing. "Relax. Be very relaxed." "Inhale very deeply and stay as long as you can." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Marriage for a lifetime
8:45 - 9:23 (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
Bhajan about Yoga Nidra - yogic sleep
9:30 - 10:20 (50 min)
Recorded on
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
How to prepare for meditation
10:25 - 11:14 (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
Ganesji Doha
11:20 - 11:59 (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
Building the Ashram
12:05 - 12:40 (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
Jaya Ram!
12:45 - 14:38 (113 min)
Recorded on
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?) Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Always be in the present and go to Satsang
14:45 - 15:29 (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."

Life will be easier if we don't eat meat
15:35 - 16:08 (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."

What will happen when we will go out of the body
17:00 - 17:43 (43 min)
Recorded on
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
Fasting and marriage
17:50 - 18:32 (42 min)
Recorded on
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
We must become one
18:35 - 18:58 (23 min)
Recorded on
We explore the nature of sleep, dreams, and the sense of self. In sleep, we seem to be nothing, yet impulses like hunger or the need to urinate arise. We also speak and think while sleeping. In dreams, the "I" travels to distant places and experiences events, like dying, only to awaken and find it was not real. There is a separation: the body sleeps here, but the self is elsewhere. A story is told of one who went into the forest, fasted, and saw a dog with bread. He reached for it, but found nothing. He then had a realization, opened his eyes, and saw all was well. The instruction is to make yourself. When with others and speaking, if it is not good, go and sleep elsewhere. The core problem is we cannot remove this sense of self. We must become one. Do bhajan and use the mālā. That practice continues within your body, and we all come into one. "Night and day, what do we want? Only at night, in sleeping, this and that." "Make thyself, make yourself." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
The Healing Bridge: Integrating Yoga into Modern Medicine
19:00 - 19:09 (9 min)
Recorded on
A holistic yoga system offers a vital complement to modern medicine within a globalized, rapid, and restless world. Western medicine excels at structural issues but faces challenges with widespread psychosomatic conditions. Applying yoga occurs on three levels: as preventive self-care to reduce systemic costs, as a supportive adjunct to enhance medical treatments, and as a primary treatment for specific functional or psychosomatic ailments. Encouraging patients to practice the complete system, rather than seeking quick fixes, allows them to resolve their own issues through self-knowledge. This path addresses the root restlessness driving the demand for rapid, universalized treatments that often fail. The methods provided are excellent for both prevention and fostering genuine well-being. "When someone comes with a particular complaint, I advise them: 'Practice the Yoga in Daily Life system as a complete system.'" "People suffer because they are globalized, rapid, and restless. Consequently, they seek quick, rapid, and universalized medications and treatments—an approach that often fails." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
The Silent Revolution: Yoga as the Antidote to Mind Pollution and Failed Leadership
19:15 - 19:38 (23 min)
Recorded on
We need a silent revolution in leadership and consciousness. Old models have failed, creating crisis. Leaders are overwhelmed, lack self-awareness, and cannot inspire, leaving people disengaged. The solution is changing leaders. We are entering a cognitive age where mind care is paramount. Control your thoughts, for they become your destiny. Media exaggerates violence; data shows heart disease and cancer are far greater threats. The real danger is mind pollution—the poisoning of our minds. Yoga is for non-violence and peace. It is a systematic science for mastering the mind and achieving inner peace. A peaceful society guarantees the right to self-realization. Yoga accelerates human growth and is vital for well-being and social harmony. We must go public, integrate yoga into all education and leadership training, and promote it globally. "Control your thoughts, for they trigger your emotions and feelings. Control your emotions, for they become your words." "Yoga is a systematic, conscious science of human development. Its main technique is gaining mastery over the mind, stopping the internal dialogue." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
The power of Gurudev's blessing
19:45 - 20:15 (30 min)
Recorded on
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. "Prasāda is the essence." "That Prasāda is completely able to change our life if we know what Prasāda is."

Everything is in your hands
21:15 - 21:50 (35 min)
Recorded on
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
