When I was a child
0:05 - 0:56 (51 min)
Recorded on
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."

We have to make our food
1:00 - 1:53 (53 min)
Recorded on
Maintaining health and purity through yoga and conscious living is essential. A period of global difficulty was endured through disciplined practice at home. This practice sustains life. The guidance given long ago was to avoid meat and alcohol, which many adopted, leading to healthier generations. The treatment of animals is a concern; some advocate for not taking from them, aligning with vegan principles. Caution is required regarding new substances added to food. Personal health must be guarded by choosing pure nourishment. The collective practice ensures well-being for oneself and family. "Your power was this, that you stayed very good." "Tell them, 'No meat and no alcohol.'" Filming location: Austria

What is the distance between Earth and sky?
3:00 - 3:53 (53 min)
Recorded on
Awakening is the first step to yoga, beginning with humility and respect. Upon waking, a light opens in the heart, bringing knowledge to the brain, making us aware. This awakening recognizes "I am human," an awareness shared by all creatures. The next acknowledgments are to God, then to Mother and Father. The earth is our mother, the sky our father; we exist between them, supported by both. A yogi once asked the distance between earth and sky. The answer is from the foot on earth to the top of the head. Our steps are on the mother earth, under the father sky. Yoga is not merely postures but the journey where all diversities, like rivers, merge into the one cosmic Self. Practice begins with the intention to do only good. "From earth to sky, where our foot is on the where? Earth. And where is the height of the sky? Only till the head." "When we practice the āsanas, we imitate... the art-typical posture of the natures... we get rid of those karmas." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
If you want to go to God don't eat meat

The practice of purity and compassion is universal, rooted in non-violence. Life feeds on life within nature's cycle, yet the highest being should not consume another. The sacredness of all life calls for avoiding exploitation. Observing dairy practices reveals the taking of milk meant solely for the calf, leading many to adopt veganism, forsaking all animal products. This aligns with spiritual aim, for consuming life returns one to the cycle, while purity leads beyond. Health is supported by this pure diet. The practice of 'Yoga in Daily Life' must embody this dietary purity to be complete. Many now follow this path for compassion, health, and spirit. "Life feeds on life." "If we want to go to God, then we go there. Otherwise, one goes into other forms." Filming location: Slovakia
The cause of illnesses
4:45 - 5:39 (54 min)
Recorded on
The Satguru's name is the boat to cross the ocean of worldly existence. Satsang is the vehicle to heaven, like a boat crossing the ocean. Those who board the boat of the Guru's name with faith and service will be carried to the far shore. The mind is inherently restless, greedy, and thieving; it steals away good thoughts. Do not follow its desires. To control it, seek shelter at the Guru's divine feet. Worry is a disease that eats away at one's roots like a termite. We often blame others and do not accept our own mistakes, which creates mental illness. Guilt and hidden faults create fear that manifests as disease in the body. Surrender is essential. True devotion is an unbreakable attachment and purity. Hold fast to it to attain the divine vision. "Satguru nām jahāj hai, chaḍe sū utre pār, jo śraddhā kar sev de." "Man ke lagām lagāo... To śaraṇa. Come, seek the shelter at the divine feet or divine presence of the Gurudev." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

A Divine Call and the Search for a True Guru
11:35 - 12:23 (48 min)
Recorded on
A divine call initiates the search for a true guru. A vision of Śrī Kṛṣṇa repeatedly requests kheer, compelling its preparation for a visiting saint's gathering. At that satsaṅg, the saint addresses a devotee by name, revealing profound awareness. When asked if one has a guru, the answer emerges from the heart: one is seeking a true guru. Following given addresses leads to an ashram in India. There, a phrase is heard in sleep: "There is nothing in the jīva, but go to the nitya." Travel continues to another ashram to meet the holy guru. An overwhelming energy is received upon meeting. A book is offered, and through grace, the ability to read Hindi is granted. Mantra-dīkṣā is received on a Thursday after offering fruit. Disregarding advice on travel days leads to immediate difficulties, demonstrating the importance of the guru's word. Returning home brings incessant tears and a longing for the ashram. The guru's loving permission allows return. Translations of sacred texts are undertaken as service, a gift enabled by the guru. Further travels and stays in ashrams follow, filled with divine experiences, protective grace, and deep seva. The guru's presence is ultimately felt permanently within the heart. "Have you got a guru? I have not got a guru, but I am looking for a true guru." "For a daughter to come to the father’s house, you don’t even have to get any permission. You can come whenever you want to come." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Vegetarian cooking lesson 3
13:10 - 13:37 (27 min)
Recorded on
A nourishing Falahārī meal is prepared, emphasizing ingredients and spices for health. The Falahārī diet uses only fruits and vegetables, excluding grains, potatoes, and bananas. Sweet potato is permitted and supports cardiovascular health. Turmeric is essential for liver function and detoxification. Unrefined oils like olive oil are used, as some vitamins require fat for absorption. Spices such as black mustard seeds cleanse channels and stimulate digestion. Coconut milk cools the body. Pumpkin seed bread uses psyllium as a binding agent. Yellow mung dal is the only lentil allowed, as it builds bodily tissues. Tapioca kheer is made with milk and cardamom. A soup of carrots and beetroot creates strength and iron in the blood, finished with a tarka of garlic, ajwain, and cumin. A salad is dressed with olive oil, lemon, and salt. "Turmeric is a very important spice for us because it greatly influences liver function, improves digestion, and helps clean the body from toxins." "In the Falahārī diet, you eat only vegetables and fruits; you do not eat wheat, potatoes, or bananas. But you can use sweet potatoes because it comes from another family of vegetables."

Building the Ashram
13:40 - 14:15 (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
How to prepare for meditation
14:16 - 15:05 (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
A human should not kill
15:10 - 15:35 (25 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Introduction of Mahamandaleshwar Swami Vivekpuriji. Yoga in Daily Life is a system for everyone. Yoga was brought by Bhagwan Shiva for people to reach God. Nowadays many people eat meat and do similar bad things. People should not kill. But you already know and follow this. You should not eat meat. Because of an illness I cannot find the words but I am with you and I am very happy that you are not negative. The bhajans are very important, they tell people what is good and what is not.
It is good if we are as we are
15:40 - 16:00 (20 min)
Recorded on
We must understand our origins and maintain our natural, familial harmony. We come into this world through God, manifest via our mother, who carries and nurtures the child. The entire family rejoices in this pure, natural process. The child inherits its essence and likeness from the father. We live happily within our familial and national lineages. While we should be friends to all people, we must also preserve our own heritage. Going to other countries is fine, but one should remain rooted in their own. Relationships between people of different backgrounds may seem acceptable, but they are not sustainable and lead to confusion in lineage. Observe nature: animals do not cross their kinds to come together. Similarly, we must keep to our own. Respect everyone, but maintain your family's purity. Your primary duty is to your parents and children. Uphold this natural order. "All humans are good. They are always, no problems. But when you come, many people are only like this, and others are on that side." "Do you think there is one animal and another animal, and now they will come together? You think so? They will not come." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Satsang helps everyone
16:05 - 16:31 (26 min)
Recorded on
The essence of satsaṅga is the gathering in truth and goodness. Practice is good, yet many attend without knowing the core, speaking in code yet helping all. This gathering is sattasaṅga, the company of truth. First, one must learn the proper order of being together, like a child with its mother. This unity is the state of satya, the union of all. Many lands and languages exist, but the essence is one. All people, from all backgrounds, are called to this understanding. The practice is to come and sit together in this truth. "Satt is the good things, the true things, everything." "Satya is satya. It is the state of satya." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
The materialized OM
16:35 - 16:57 (22 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Do not eat eggs!
17:05 - 17:49 (44 min)
Recorded on
The path requires purity in diet and action, avoiding all animal products for health and spiritual integrity. Those who abstain from meat, eggs, and alcohol remain healthy and strong. Eating eggs causes illness and leads to hospital visits. The idea to eat mussels comes from a negative source. Do not pursue such things for money. Practice yoga in daily life; this teaching is universal for all. Family unity is essential, with both parents present for the child. When feeling heavy, stand up, go out, use cold water, and repeat. This practice brings clarity. "Eggs, they sing, but I can tell you, it will cause many problems, and you die." "Life without Vishwagurujī is like a day without sun, like a night without moon, and like a temple without a candle." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Memories
17:55 - 18:39 (44 min)
Recorded on
Memory is a foundational aspect of life, yet dwelling on the past is a waste of precious time. The past is gone like water that has flowed down a river; you cannot catch it again. Excessive attachment to past memories or to the dead body of a loved one is a sorrow for unreality. To progress spiritually, one must overcome such attachments. The advanced state of Trikāldarśī, seeing past, present, and future, is not easily attained and requires mastering one's own mind and memories first. God has placed security on such knowledge to maintain peace. If gained, this sight must be used with great care and discretion. To develop and maintain good memory, practice yogic postures like Śīrṣāsana that increase blood circulation to the brain and senses. Complement this with concentration and Āyurvedic practices, such as chewing a few soaked almonds daily with milk. A brilliant memory, free from attachment, leads to true bliss. "To think about the past is a waste of time. And wasting time is a sin." "Trikāldarśī means knowing the past, present, and future." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Peace Tree planting in Voderady
18:45 - 18:57 (12 min)
Recorded on
A tree is blessed for peace and wishes on the International Day of Yoga. Yoga is for the environment, not just humans. This tree symbolizes peace, like the Vṛkṣāsana posture derived from trees. The ceremony involves circling the tree with positive wishes. Attendees are given instructions for photos and seating, with a focus on children. Sanskrit prayers are chanted for peace. A welcoming ceremony includes the singing of a Slovak folk song. The event involves distributing items, primarily to children, and concludes with a call for everyone to perform their ceremony. "Yoga is not only for humans but also for the environment, this tree will do its duty." "This tree stands here for peace, harmony, and love. Those who have a wish, come to this tree... and state your wish."

Everything is in our heart
20:20 - 20:33 (13 min)
Recorded on
The grace of the guru is experienced through devotion and miraculous presence. People constantly call for the speaker to visit them. A story is told of Mahāprabhujī as a child going with cows that ate from a farm; despite concerns, Gurujī said it would result in more for the owners, and it did. The speaker describes visiting places associated with Mahāprabhujī, who is meditating deeply. Another figure stays in the jungle, refusing to enter a house even for food. People question the speaker's absence over years, but the speaker cites health. The essence is that the guru and devotees are connected in the heart, enabling all things. Disciples act in harmony with the guru's will. "Gurujī said, 'Don't worry, let them eat.'" "He said, 'Okay, you can give it to me outside. I don't go inside, yeah.'"
