We learned that we are human
1:35 - 2:37 (62 min)
Recorded on
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."
What does Yoga in Daily Life mean?
2:45 - 3:11 (26 min)
Recorded on
This is the day of oneness, the middle point in our sādhanā. We must practice every year and go forward, not back. Yoga in Daily Life began from Czechoslovakia and has spread worldwide; it is for all. Our sādhanā comes from Ālagpurījī and Devpurījī, through Holy Gurujī and Mahāprabhujī. Holy Gurujī gave me this chair, which is from God. Sitting here signifies oneness. We are to become gurus, but that happens only at life's end through true inner practice, not merely in time. I work with Mahāprabhujī. We are all together in this. The Nandi statue sees Holy Gurujī's samādhi and Śiva; offering to it brings blessings. We must continue every year. "All will be only one. It doesn't matter who, what will be. One in all, and all in one." "This chair is from God, Bhagavān... then you become the Parabrahma, Paramatmā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Live pure life and be happy
3:15 - 4:19 (64 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual family gathers, united as brothers and sisters and as guru and disciples. The practice of yoga is expanding in many places. Purity is essential, meaning no meat and no alcohol. Some have strayed into these habits, which must be corrected. Guidance is also given for family life and marriage, advising careful selection for lasting harmony. The pure life and strong families are foundations for spiritual progress. Devotional singing, or bhajans, is a powerful practice that unites everyone. "Pure means that we don’t eat any meat and we don’t drink any alcohol." "We should wish for our children, and how you will be able to do very well, then it will be very good."

The Divine Unity of Practice and Grace
5:30 - 6:48 (78 min)
Recorded on
The spiritual journey unfolds within a unified field of practice, where all practitioners are together in one vessel. Individual conditions or levels of concentration are secondary to this shared immersion in the aura of sādhanā. The principle "I am not the doer; the Divine is the doer" is foundational. The path is likened to a divine classroom, a cosmic university distinct from worldly education. Truth is essential; one must hold to it completely and avoid speaking in half-measures, for truth alone leads to liberation. Every letter and word carries divine potential and must be used with reverence. The practice itself distinguishes the genuine seeker from the artificial, just as a butterfly naturally alights on real flowers. "Please, if I come back again on the earth, please, Gurujī, bring me to your holy feet." "Tell the word of the truth... speak the truth and nobody will kill you."

Om Ashram
6:50 - 6:59 (9 min)
Recorded on
A large-scale world peace monument shaped as the universal Oṃ symbol is being built. Since 1993, this structure has served humanity by teaching yoga, meditation, and philosophy to preserve Vedic wisdom. It will contain 108 residential compartments for visitors and students. The design originated from a yogi's vision, who developed the "Yoga in Daily Life" system for holistic health, now practiced globally. The site already functions as an active center with a free school, a college, and a hospital. To heal the local ecosystem, an artificial lake harvests monsoon rain, raising groundwater. Worldwide projects protect animals and plant millions of trees. This non-profit mission, born from one heart's vision, advocates for universal non-violence and protection for all cultures and creatures. Its full fruition requires everyone's contribution. "Modern science now affirms the benefits of yoga on the human condition." "You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a single drop." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

When I was a child
9:10 - 10:01 (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."

Gurudev bring us to your shelter
10:05 - 10:37 (32 min)
Recorded on
The mantra is a prayer glorifying the master and requesting his shelter. Oṁ is the universal beginning and end. "Namaḥ" offers salutations. "Śrī" conveys respect. "Prabhu" means God. "Dīpa" is the light. "Nārāyaṇa" is God's name, indicating the master is that divinity. The request follows: "We are all servants. O God, we are surrendered to your shelter." It seeks permanent protection and the highest happiness of self-realization, beyond temporary pleasures. The master is the pure giver of great joy and destroyer of all sorrow, protecting those who follow the teachings in daily life. "Oṁ is the beginning, the middle, and the end of the universe." "He is the giver of great happiness and the destroyer of all unhappiness." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

10:45 - 11:10 (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.

Chanting divine mantras
12:05 - 12:38 (33 min)
Recorded on
The supreme devotion to the Guru is the only path across the ocean of worldly existence. Without the Guru's grace, liberation is impossible. The Guru is the imperishable supreme reality, the boat of the name that carries the soul to the other shore. Service to the Satguru destroys all obstacles and reveals the inner self. He who is opposed to the Guru is the worst of all; his work remains unfulfilled. Through the Guru's compassion, the soul attains fearless self-knowledge and infinite bliss. Reciting the Guru's name is the eternal companion across all lifetimes. "Without your grace, not even sages or saints can cross existence; the soul attains self-knowledge and becomes fearless." "The Guru is the supreme, imperishable Brahman, of pure form and an abode of constant bliss." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Collecting good energy
13:50 - 14:49 (59 min)
Recorded on
The gift of practice is constant application, not occasional effort. Regular practice brings control and perfection, while irregular effort leads to unease. The guru's grace flows through constant morning, evening, and night practice, not merely through physical proximity. Good intentions at retreat must translate to concentrated practice at home. This sustained effort is the true offering. Physical guidance follows: relax the body completely, focusing awareness on each part. Bend the legs and lift the feet, using the hands on the feet without forceful massage, only gentle touching. This directs energy. Finally, lie down, placing the right hand softly on the chest and the left on the navel. Focus only on these two points—the heart and the navel—feeling warmth and comfort, without letting the mind wander. Be entirely within the body. "Through constant practice—morning, evening, night—there is Guru Kṛpā." "Be in your body. Do not think about going out anywhere." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Naham Karata for Yoga teachers
14:55 - 16:28 (93 min)
Recorded on
The human journey requires integrating intellect with devotion under a teacher's guidance. Mistakes have significant consequences, pulling one back into cycles of existence. Intellect alone cannot achieve realization; it is like climbing a mountain without oxygen. That essential element is the Guru's grace. Practice is paramount, yet devotion without discernment can mislead. When intellect and devotion conflict, one becomes stuck. Intellect must surrender to genuine devotion, which is willpower. Changing one's promised path after receiving blessings leads to fragmentation, like religions splitting into countless branches. The mind, influenced by the ten senses, is unstable and cannot be followed. True practice requires discipline, vairāgya (dispassion), and viveka (discernment). Social health is foundational for spiritual and mental well-being. A teacher must be a vigilant guide, never closing their eyes to students, and must teach from a place of humility, recognizing the source of instruction beyond themselves. The teacher's role is to liberate others, becoming a conduit of pure wisdom. "Intellectually we can think we can achieve; we have many good words to speak, but to come to realization is not easy." "When we practice, we are teaching ourselves. And then we begin to teach others." Filming locations: Poprad, High Tatras, Slovakia

Around the world - Holy Sandals of the Guru
18:00 - 18:35 (35 min)
Recorded on
The Guru's sandals are the vessel for crossing the ocean of worldly existence. The holy lineage flows from the source through all masters to the present. Sanskrit is a sacred language; its fifty letters reside within the human body's energy centers, making its recitation purifying. When asked for a guide after his departure, the master composed the Guru Pādukā Stotram. These sandals bestow the empire of dispassion and devotion. They are the sun that dispels the darkness of the threefold afflictions originating from celestial, material, and elemental forces. They dry up the ocean of delusion caused by impurity, distraction, and the veiling ego. The sandals subdue inner enemies like desire and anger, while granting discriminative intellect and dispassion. They illuminate the supreme knowledge and swiftly bestow liberation. "Salutations to the great, holy sandals of the Guru. These sandals are like a boat that helps us cross this endless ocean of transmigration." "Praying to the holy sandals of the Guru can dry up this entire ocean of delusion."

We are one family
18:40 - 18:57 (17 min)
Recorded on
This spiritual home is our family, connected not by worldly karma but by surrender to the Guru. Worldly family ties are temporary bonds of past karma. Here, we form a lasting spiritual family under our Gurudeva. True connection requires complete faith and surrender from the heart, not half-hearted belief. Personal effort is essential: we must purify our inner vessel through sādhanā, mantra, and prayer to receive grace. Satsaṅg, whether in person or virtual, sustains this connection within the lineage. The Guru embodies the entire lineage; we cannot hide from this compassionate presence. Surrender your ego through devotion and let the Guru's light guide you. "Our own family—father and mother—are connected by our karma, so we eventually part." "If you have complete faith, just that faith, and the number one rule of that faith is surrendering."

Practical guide to meditation (9/11)
21:30 - 23:13 (103 min)
Recorded on
Everything changes, and all change has beauty. Conflict arises from difference, but difference is natural. Conflict becomes negative through ego and non-acceptance. The root of all conflict is within the individual. World peace is achieved by solving this inner conflict through self-enquiry and surrender. Meditation is the practical method for this inner work. A key time for meditation is the peaceful morning before sunrise. Sit with a straight spine in a comfortable posture like Vajrāsana. Use an authentic mantra and a natural-fiber shawl for focus and protection. Withdraw inward, observe the breath, and repeat the mantra to purify and find oneness. "Conflict is not in the world. Conflict is within you." "Meditation is the way to solve the inner conflict and the world’s conflicts." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
