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 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

Yoga and Āyurveda are interconnected sciences for controlling the mind to achieve health and liberation. Yoga is the instrument to control the fluctuations of the mind. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life, comprising body, senses, mind, and soul. Maharṣi Caraka's philosophy states disease cannot occur without a distortion in the mind; therefore, controlling the mind is essential for health. The process for this is yoga. The soul is the conscious sovereign, while the mind is the active doer. To stop the mind, the soul must command it through techniques culminating in samādhi. The eightfold path of yoga begins with Yama and Niyama. One must control the guṇas, cultivating sāttvic feelings. Stabilizing the mind in the soul yields attainments and is the aim. From the Āyurvedic view, yoga requires a body. Even with a controlled mind, one experiences results of past actions, as unexperienced karma is not destroyed. Yoga's techniques to control mind and body are found within Āyurveda. By controlling duality through yoga and achieving samādhi, the cycle of birth and death ceases. "Yoga is an instrument to control your cittavṛtti—the fluctuations of the mind." "Ātmā sthe manasi sthire: when the mind is stable and controlled in the Ātmā. This is Yoga."

The Viṣṇu Sahasranāmam is a sacred recitation of divine names. It originates from the Mahābhārata, where Yudhiṣṭhira, grieving after the war, asks Bhīṣma for the supreme refuge. Bhīṣma's response forms this text, a core of Hindu devotion. It is widely recited, especially in South India, often in a musical style popularized by M.S. Subbulakshmi. The practice involves daily prayer, typically in the evening. The essence of the thousand names is ultimately concentrated in the name of Rāma. Reciting this single name holds the power of the entire text. The concluding tradition includes verses dedicated to Lakṣmī. "By glorifying whom does one attain physical, mental, and spiritual peace and purity?" "All you have to say is: 'Śrī Rām Rām Rāmeti Rame Rame Manorame, Sahasranāma-tattulyaṁ Rāma-nāma varānane.'"

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."

A morning sādhana sequence integrates breath, movement, and awareness. Begin by warming the body with gentle stretches and deep breathing. Practice foundational āsanas like Pavanamuktāsana and Marjaryāsana to activate the spine and muscles. Flow through a warming sequence, coordinating each motion with inhalation and exhalation. Perform forward bends and backbends, focusing on alignment and the stretch without pain. Incorporate inverted postures to affect circulation and glands. Conclude with prāṇāyāma to regulate energy and a period of silent observation. The practice strengthens the body, deepens the breath, and calms the mind. "Marjaryāsana is a wonderful morning āsana, stretching your back muscles and activating your spine." "Observe your breath, and feel the effects of the āsanas." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

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."

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."

God is one, appearing in form or formlessness. Different names and forms point to the same supreme reality. The formless Parabrahma, Allah, or Holy Father is the ultimate. Yet, for those in a body, worship of a form is a valid path to that formless truth. Scriptures describe divine functions: Brahmā creates, Viṣṇu preserves, and Śiva dissolves, yet all are aspects of the one. The Guru is the living conduit to this truth, surpassing even these divine aspects. True guidance comes only through an authentic Guru rooted in a genuine lineage. Meditation and worship must be focused on that Guru. Without such a master, one remains lost, following empty signs and gaining no real liberation. "God is only one. There is no other god; there is only one God." "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara... Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

Om Ashram opening ceremonies, Jadan, Rajasthan, India. Prasad Purusa or Vastu Purusa puja. Vishwaguruji and some Mahamandaleshwars and Swamis made this puja at the top of towers. The third part of the program.

Two consecration ceremonies are to be performed. The first is the Kalasha puja for the large vessel to be placed atop the shikhara. The second is the Prasada Puja or Vastu Purusha Puja, performed at the summit to please the deity of the site. Pandits will perform the puja for the other kalashas. The ceremonies are scheduled between 11:15 and 12:40. A team will ascend to prepare, followed by the main participants for the second ritual. The assembly is advised to seek shade during the approximately half-hour interim. "The next puja is called Prasada Purusha Puja or Vastu Purusha Puja." "It means to please the Vastu deity, Vastu Purusha, that he will bless the ashram, the temple." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

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

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

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Yoga retreat in Dungog, Australia. There are 64 different kinds of kriyas but it was chosen only a few of them for Yoga in Daily Life. The teaching of the Masters says that the quality of the Jivatama, Atma and Paramatma is the same. That called non-duality, Advaita. Practicing Asanas.

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

Spiritual values are declining as modern yoga teachings compromise core principles. Many people now believe they can eat meat while following a spiritual path, which is incorrect. This acceptance has spread from some teachers who traveled from India. True spiritual progress requires strict adherence to non-violence and purity, including a vegetarian diet. Those who maintain these practices, like certain sādhus, demonstrate the correct way. We must reject the new, permissive teachings and return to the authentic "Yoga in Daily Life" discipline. This path demands we avoid meat and live purely, ensuring clarity of mind and spiritual growth. We must be strong and share this correct understanding to guide others back. "They also say that if one wants, one can eat meat too. And that is not good." "We should all come back and become like this—no meat, nothing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is a faith-based system for wellness and healing, integrating consciousness with the body. A personal testimony describes overcoming a cancer diagnosis by refusing conventional treatment and rewriting one's mental blueprint. The individual believed revised thoughts would communicate with cells and DNA to halt disease progression, attributing survival solely to yoga practiced with faith and discipline. This illustrates yoga's potential beyond physical postures, focusing on divine energy and consciousness. Panelists discuss integrating traditional Āyush systems like Homeopathy, Āyurveda, and Siddha with yoga and modern medicine. Homeopathy treats the whole person mind-body-intellect economically. Āyurveda and yoga share principles of removing prāṇic blockages through detoxification and lifestyle. Siddha medicine inherently includes yoga and varma therapy. All emphasize a holistic, health-centric approach over a disease-centric model, addressing root causes like stress and suppressed urges. The World Health Organization supports developing evidence-based yoga modules for non-communicable diseases and exploring integrative service delivery. The spiritual core of yoga is to raise human consciousness, with health benefits being natural side effects. "If you allow God’s energy to run into your system by removing the ignorance that blocks it, God will provide the miracles." "Yoga and Āyurveda are like the two faces of the same coin. If we can integrate both concepts, probably we can render wonderful results." Filming location: Delhi, India

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

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.
