Jaya Ram!
0:00 - 1:53 (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?)

Understand your Atma
4:55 - 6:16 (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."

Building the Ashram
6:20 - 6:55 (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."

A Gentle Yoga Practice
8:00 - 9:07 (67 min)
A guided yoga practice focusing on breath, alignment, and awareness. Begin by relaxing completely on the floor, connecting breath to movement. Practice Pavanamuktāsana on your back for digestion, then in a standing position for balance and focus. Maintain spinal alignment and initiate movements from the hip joints. Be aware of your pelvis and avoid locking the knees. Standing poses like Ekapāda Uttānāsana strengthen the legs and improve concentration. Practice with a firm surface for better balance. Āsanas like Bhujaṅgāsana require elbows close to the body to protect the shoulders. Deep, abdominal breathing cleans the inner channels, allowing prāṇa to flow. The practice generates warmth, deepens circulation, and integrates body and mind through conscious movement and breath control.
"Pavanamuktāsana is excellent for digestion."
"When we start to breathe a little deeper, we immediately have more energy and less tension."

What will happen when we will go out of the body
9:15 - 9:58 (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."

Yoga unites people
10:05 - 10:49 (44 min)
Observing spiritual practice reveals a common human foundation beneath different forms. Many traditions share morning rituals of purification, prayer, and offering. Christians go to church, kneel, and give donations. Hindus perform ablutions and sit peacefully. Muslims wash, pray from their book, and instruct their children. These external forms vary, but the internal impulse is shared. Yet, in many places, this dedicated practice is declining. People are distracted, and communal observance diminishes. True spirituality transcends these separate identities. In a hospital, a doctor does not ask a patient's religion or nationality before providing care. The focus is solely on the human being in need of healing. This illustrates our fundamental unity. Every creature has a body and can feel pain. A single needle causes suffering to the whole body. We are all interconnected. Therefore, do not claim one religion is superior. All contain goodness. Our shared humanity is the primary truth.
"Not this is India or Christians or Muslims making or their name. No, only the human, and this comes to them."
"In a hospital, they will not say, 'What are you? Which land is this?' But please bring this child or person who has fallen down."

Ganesji Doha
10:55 - 11:34 (39 min)
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."

People will be holy again
11:40 - 12:05 (25 min)
A great light of purity is coming for humanity. Practice in your place. A revelation was received from Mahāprabhujī and Devapurījī concerning powerful mantras. These sacred words herald a coming age. The current impurity, marked by violence and consumption of meat, will end. A pure Sat Yuga is approaching, replacing the Kali Yuga. People must purify themselves and their children through non-violence. Adopt a diet that causes no harm. This purity will manifest globally, as seen in certain families and disciples. Teach this to everyone. The impure will fade, and pure children will emerge. This transformation is the destined reality.
"Kali Yuga is going, and Sat Yuga is coming. So we have to come and purify, purify our body all the time."

The power of Gurudev's blessing
12:55 - 13:25 (30 min)
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
13:30 - 13:54 (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."

How to prepare for meditation
14:00 - 14:49 (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."

We are always close in our hearts
14:55 - 15:29 (34 min)
Our true home is found within the heart, beyond physical travel and external change.
Observe nature's unity: birds live and die as devoted pairs; cows move as one herd. Humans also journey, leaving birthplaces for other lands, yet a longing for a true home persists. This inner home is not a location but a state of being, accessed through the heart. In deep sleep or meditation, we touch this inner oneness where all separation dissolves. Past experiences and loved ones, like a mother's presence, reside there. Even animals understand this inner truth, as they feel deep connections and know good from bad. Our physical body travels, but our heart holds everything. Therefore, live consciously, examining your actions, and recognize the fundamental unity in all life. Wherever you go, carry this understanding within.
"From the heart, inside it is like my last one, my last love, last life."
"In our heart, there is everything."

Everything is within thyself
15:35 - 16:01 (26 min)
The practice is a meditation on seeing and being. Stand and move the hands, then let them hang. Look down at the earth's gifts, then rise and look up. Look to the left, to the right, and to the front, observing all the many things present. Look up to scan the pure sky, then look down again at the earth. Close the eyes. Open them and look straight, left, right, down, and up. Realize that ultimately, there is no direction and no one—only "I am." This pure being is complete. Sit and perform this sequence five times. A five-minute morning practice establishes this awareness for the whole day. When you look and see everything, it is like leaves falling from a tree; that is what you are. Be thyself. Everything is within.
"Close your eyes. What you have and what you are looking at."
"And what have you seen? Who has given to you all good things, many things, but always coming differently?"

Marriage for a lifetime
16:05 - 16:43 (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.

Always be in the present and go to Satsang
16:50 - 17:34 (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."

Life will be easier if we don't eat meat
17:40 - 18:13 (33 min)
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.

Around the world - Surya Namaskar, Zagreb, CRO
19:00 - 19:36 (36 min)
Surya Namaskāra integrates posture, cakra concentration, and mantra for holistic purification. This classical yoga sequence is best performed at sunrise or sunset, honoring the sun as a life-giving deity. The practice involves precise physical movements, each linked to a specific cakra and breath. Quality is paramount: perfect the movement, maintain relaxation, focus on the cakra, and know the mantra. This complete structure yields the benefits. Daily practice makes one's being like the sun, purifying the atmosphere so negativity cannot take hold. Correct alignment prevents injury; the spine must remain straight during forward and backward bends. Concentration involves feeling each cakra's location and qualities. Integrating silent or spoken mantras with movement and breath deepens the effect, working on the body, cakras, and consciousness.
"Anything thrown toward the sun either gets burned or, if it is dust, merely falls into your own eyes."

Science of chakras
21:40 - 22:56 (76 min)
Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through harmony and balance. The cosmic energy governs the universe, and this principle of union was discovered by ancient yogis. The individual soul is a spark of the divine light, present in all life. We originate from the cosmic sound and are composed of the five elements. Our journey involves many births, guided by karma, as the soul moves through forms and relations. The human body contains dormant energy centers called chakras, connected by 72,000 channels. Three primary channels—Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna—regulate energy, mind, and activity, converging at key points to form the chakras. These centers correspond to the elements and levels of consciousness, from the earthly Muladhara to the divine Sahasrara. Activating these centers through practice leads toward liberation.

Practical guide to meditation (5/11)
23:00 - 0:17 (77 min)
Meditation is establishing harmony within oneself and with the world. It begins by reconnecting with your own body, mind, and soul, countering the stress of constant external activity. Harmonious relationships with family and society are essential, preventing loneliness and creating a sense of belonging. The practice then inquires into life's purpose and the fundamental question of one's true identity, distinguishing the unchanging self from the changing body and thoughts. This inquiry can be done through passive sitting or active, creative work performed with awareness. Meditation is practiced using a mantra, breath awareness, and observation of thoughts without control, ultimately leading to relaxation and self-knowledge.
"Meditation means to be one with thyself."
"Analyze your thoughts without refusing them."
