Recorded on
India is a divine tapestry woven from spiritual essence. A beautiful bhajan celebrates its sacred nature, describing the entire land as blessed and godly. The nation is seen as the source and confluence of great rivers, teachings, and incarnations. Spiritual masters have walked its length, imparting wisdom that resonates through time. Their presence and work are considered impossible yet ever-present. The spiritual current flows from heart to heart, not from books or forced effort. Disciples receive guidance through direct experience and inner calling, often tested by the guru's assignments. The seeker's journey involves surrender and persistent inner work, not mere physical following. The ultimate truth is found within, likened to a precious stone amidst many ordinary ones. "Dhanya means godly, everything with God and everywhere, and especially in India, the whole of India." "He said, 'I know I will not stay anywhere.'" Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Feel oneness and protect all creatures
1:05 - 1:35 (30 min)
Recorded on
The divine essence resides within the living body. God is present within us and has given us human form. The natural world involves creatures consuming one another, yet herbivores like cows, which eat only grass, are considered close to the divine. Humans, gifted with intellect and body, often choose a path contrary to this harmony by consuming meat, which involves killing and constitutes a sin. All beings feel pain, a profound experience understood even by those who inflict it. We meditate to seek happiness, peace, and oneness with God. Figures like Jesus embodied profound suffering, yet within such suffering resides a divine essence. The individual soul is a part of God, like a drop of water destined to return to the ocean. All traditions, from Jesus to Shiva, emphasize prayer, compassion, and reconciliation, as seen in practices like seeking forgiveness during Christmas. Our ultimate purpose is unity, transcending divisions to protect all creatures with peace and love. "Animals like dogs and many others eat each other as well—big dogs, little dogs, and so many." "If we think with our brain, we can see it is not good—oh my God, a living being, and how we are killing it." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
A human should not kill

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.
The world needs Yoga in Daily Life

Recorded on
This holy place contains everything needed, providing energy and peace. It is one of only two such places in the world. A great tree once stood here; now a single holy tree will be planted again. People travel from distant countries to be here, forming one family. The essential teaching is that one must find a true guru who has digested and lived the wisdom, not merely learned from scriptures. This realized guide can show the path beyond the inevitable end, just as a seed must be digested by a bird to grow. Personal stories confirm that such a guru's blessing enables profound healing, success, and inner peace, revealing one's true form beyond mere reflection. "You’ve forgotten yourself. What calamity." "Between the water and the ocean, the water in some pot, there is no difference. The Guru is one with the Brahman." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Recorded on
Foundational āsanas and breath awareness form the base of practice. Begin with Pavanamuktāsana to release the lower back, pressing the knee to the chest with the breath. Move into Daṇḍāsana, keeping the spinal column straight. Practice head movements initiated from the lower neck, coordinating with breath to avoid strain. Sarvahitā Āsanas teach correct movement patterns for all further practice. Engage muscles by imagining lifting a weight to build strength for postures like Viparīta Karanī Mudrā. Always be aware of breathing during āsana; conscious breathing activates the brain's cortex, calming the emotional limbic system. Complete yogic breathing combines abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular movement for full purification. Prāṇāyāma, like Nāḍī Śodhana, purifies the energy channels through all five layers of being. "Always be aware of your breathing. When you breathe with awareness—without changing the rhythm—we activate a center in the cortex of the brain." "Seventy percent of the body's purification comes through our breathing. That is why our breathing, especially complete yogic breathing, is so important." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Follow the words of the Guru continuously

The essence of spiritual practice is following the Guru's word and living in truthful community. Following Guru Vākya without questioning brings grace and progress. Observing the community reveals a lack of unity and disciplined practice; individuals scatter to personal desires instead of walking a straight path together. True yoga in daily life requires this collective discipline, seen in dedicated practitioners worldwide. The Guru's position is paramount, even before divine figures, and one must commit to a single Satguru. A story illustrates the folly of valuing material offerings like gold over the Guru's presence. Husband and wife should work as one unified being, though marriage is a temporary arrangement distinct from spiritual love. Satsaṅg means gathering in truth. The community must now apply this through collective physical work in the garden, performing assigned tasks without question or complaint. "By following his Vakya, we receive Guru Kṛpā." "Satguru. And when you take one Satguru, then you should not take a second Satguru." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A guided session integrates mantra, meditation, and āsana for holistic practice. Begin by sitting comfortably and chanting the Gāyatrī Mantra to greet the inner and outer light. Relax the entire body systematically, from forehead to legs. Observe the natural breath, receiving fresh prāṇa and releasing stress. Concentrate on the mantra, observing thoughts without attachment. Conclude the meditation with gratitude and conscious breathing. Perform a series of āsanas including Ānanda Āsana, Pavanmuktāsana, and Sumeru Āsana to stretch and strengthen the body. These postures work on the spine, limbs, and core, renewing energy. Practice prāṇāyāma to regulate breath flow, followed by final chants. "Just be your mantra in the breathing process." "Observe as your heartbeat and the rhythm of breathing become slower and slower with relaxation." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

The destiny of the jīva cycles through realms from Brahmaloka to the human form. Brahmaloka is a unified state beyond the duality of heaven and hell. From this state, divine forces manifested the earth and the 8.4 million life forms. These creatures, though mute, possess awareness and remember God in their own way. Humans alone are endowed with discriminative intellect, yet often act with greater cruelty than animals. All existence operates on the principle that life consumes life. One's actions, especially harming other creatures, generate karma that must be experienced. This human birth is a rare opportunity; one must not squander it by living solely for sensory pleasure like an animal. Govern your body as a king governs a kingdom, abandoning harmful habits that destroy it. "Eating, drinking, and enjoying, animals can also do. Oh, man, men, humans. If you are doing only this, then what is the difference between you and animals?" "How many animals have you eaten? How many goats have you eaten? The many goats you have eaten in your life—first, you have to come into life as a goat and let your throat be given." Filming location: Badrinath, Hiamalaya, India
Eat healthy food and live as a human

A call to conscious living through prayer, diet, and daily awareness. Religious practice is declining across many faiths, leading to negative societal outcomes. People should pray sincerely according to their own traditions. Modern habits, like excessive meat consumption and poor health choices, are harmful. The rise of veganism stems from compassion, witnessing the killing of animals like a newborn calf. We must respect all life. Daily consumption and farming practices are damaging the earth and water. A simple morning practice can reorient one's life: upon waking, affirm "I am human," honor your mother and the Earth, and respect water as divine. This conscious foundation leads to a better life. "Therefore, in this way, we should—all of us here—we should pray according to your religions." "And so, everyone, they have in their heart. And everyone, they have according to their religions, and they are doing as it is." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Our relationship with the Guru
14:00 - 14:40 (40 min)
Recorded on
The eternal spiritual lineage flows from the Satya Yuga to the present. The guru paramparā is an unbroken succession from one guru to the next. This lineage originates from Śiva and the Satya Yuga, the age of truth where all beings lived in harmony. From that age comes Ālakpurījī, a primordial presence connected to the Himalayan rivers. The lineage continues through figures like Devpurījī and Mahāprabhujī to Gurudev Svāmī Madhavānandjī. Disciples are connected to this lineage, receiving its energy into the soul. The current duty is to care for all disciples and be faithful to the guru. In this Kali Yuga, truth is often absent, causing suffering. All humans ultimately come from the same divine source, regardless of changing external forms or bloodlines. Spiritual practice focuses on the heart, where a divine light resides, connected to the energy of the navel. Life is like a cherry tree; some blossoms bear fruit while others fall, all according to divine will. The aim is to achieve purity through the five elements and unite with the highest cosmic reality. "Satya means the truth only. Everything is the truth, in the whole earth, the whole ocean, in all, everything that is there." "Paramparā means one after another. So when that will sit, given here to sit, it’s not that you come and sit down." Filming location: Debrecen, Hungary
The Eternal Dharma and the Tale of the Priest and the Dog
14:45 - 15:27 (42 min)
Recorded on
The eternal truth of Sanatana Dharma is universal and transcends all boundaries. This Dharma is the original and complete foundation. It comes through the Guru, who is of many types, including mother and father. All people, regardless of origin or language, inherently live with an understanding of God. When traveling, one sees that this understanding persists everywhere. The land itself holds ancient evidence of this truth, like sacred names found deep within the earth. Geographical formations and human history are part of a vast, interconnected whole. The essence of being, called Hindu or Indian, signifies this deep, ancient connection to the eternal Dharma. All beings are part of this divine order, and one's actions towards them carry profound consequences. "Whatever is there, it is for the Guru." "If you hit this animal... it will go and make it a little better and put it in hell." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
We all will come to oneness
15:35 - 16:14 (39 min)
Recorded on
The oneness of service and the soul is our essential truth. Everyone is equal and should be included in practices like pūjā. Give all the opportunity to learn and participate. The altar holds God, so service there is for God. Maintain cleanliness and respect traditional considerations. We are one family, so provide for basic needs like food without emphasis on money. Daily work and satsaṅg are for everyone, like the sun shines for all. God provides for all creatures. At life's end, the soul returns to oneness, beyond religious labels. We originate from and return to the divine ocean like drops of water. Our inner life is God's life. Respect all beings and see the good within. "One in all and all in one." "The ocean is the ocean. We all will come in oneness, and we will come to the ocean again." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Holiguruji gave many other belongings of Mahaprabhuji to Vishwaguruji. The story of Mahaprabhuji's bed to get to Vishwaguruji.
Never give up!

True space is measured by generosity and persistent inner practice. Physical space expands through a generous heart, as shown when a family in a cold forest continually makes room for strangers and an animal, culminating in a miraculous expansion. Personal spiritual space is earned through unwavering effort, illustrated by an ant tirelessly carrying a seed up a tree until it succeeds, inspiring a meditator. Conversely, suffering arises from envy and inaction, like a monkey who, instead of building its own shelter, destroys a bird's nest. The path requires consistent personal practice, self-reliance, and sharing the resulting goodness, avoiding negativity that leads to conflict. "We have a space, and we should know that for everyone, like it is." "The ant has done like this. She did not give up." Filming location: Villach, Austria
Practise every morning
18:15 - 18:56 (41 min)
Recorded on
The human being is a morning realization. Everyone is a gift from God, seeking something through practice. All religions have prayers and mantras for cleansing; Muslims are very dedicated. In the morning, upon waking, open your eyes inside. The first realization is "I am human." What does that mean? We were sleeping, unaware, and now we are. Animals exist, like birds that mourn, but they do not understand as we do. Women are very spiritual in their daily practices. Among creatures, it is said the horse is uniquely "the man." Do not kill hope. Our practice is to open our eyes, say "I am human," and place hands on the earth, our mother. We must not harm the earth with chemicals. We have many problems and doctors now because of our actions. We must return to being human. Think: if I am human, will I kill or eat meat? That is not human. Practice this each morning. "Early in the morning, they also give mantra. Among them, there are those who can do it and those who should not." "In the morning, when we first get up, you open the eyes inside... I am human. Yes, I'm human." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The importance of yoga dress
21:00 - 21:13 (13 min)
Recorded on
Our tradition holds the Satguru as supreme, and this period is significant. I have been here 56 years; our path is beyond mere exercise. For at least 20 years, I have said disciples should have this specific dress—it is a screen of ourselves, not just clothing. Worldwide styles change, and it is your choice, but we must have respect. I am sorry to say, but attire above the knee is not good. Our yoga people here are doing this. From today, I ask for good dress and color in our yoga and āśrams. We will have our own standard. We have little time; this is a primary point. Soon we will have ceremonies at our Om Ashram with many programs. You know Bhagavān Śiva. Nandī is a great being who conveys messages to Śiva. You first make praṇām to Nandi, then to Shiva; your message will go automatically. I tried and got something for you all. "Maheśvarānand, exercise is okay, but you have to go further, five speeds beyond that." "This dress... is not just clothing. It is a screen of ourselves, a screen." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Marriage has its proper time and order
22:20 - 23:59 (99 min)
Recorded on
The essence of devotion is surrender to the guru's protection. The bhajan "Satguru Rākholājī Hamārī" is a plea for that shelter. It draws upon stories illustrating divine intervention for the faithful. Prahlāda, devoted to Viṣṇu, faced a heated iron pillar from his father; approaching with faith, he saw it covered in ants and was saved by Narasiṁha. This teaches facing challenges directly with faith. An elephant king, grabbed by a crocodile, fought for ages before offering a lotus to Viṣṇu, who then rescued him. This signifies letting go and asking for help. Draupadī, when disrobed, was protected by Kṛṣṇa who provided endless cloth. Mīrābāī transformed poison to nectar through devotion. The crucial point is the devotee's turn: one must believe it is now their turn to receive grace, to meditate, to let inner qualities blossom. The writer offers the bhajan to his guru, continuing the paramparā. Wisdom flows through this lineage from source to disciple. "That type of devotee, you’re always saving. Now it’s my turn." "Part of making it work is believing it is now our turn." Filming location: Sydney, Australia
