The chair where the Guru sits is holy. People should know what is reality. Nimit and Nitya avatars. Translation of bhajan Prema ka pyala.

A spiritual discourse on the power of desire (icchā) and the necessity of discernment (viveka). "Whatever you wish, everything is possible; nothing is impossible." "Before you express your wish, you should know what kind of wish it is, because when it is fulfilled, at that time you change your opinion." The lecturer explores the nature of Icchā Śakti (willpower) through teachings from the Rāmāyaṇa and Bhagavad Gītā. He emphasizes that while God's grace can fulfill any wish, one must use intellect to discern the true nature and potential consequences of a desire. He illustrates this with a parable of a monkey whose unchecked desire for a basket leads to a fatal encounter with a cobra, and concludes with a teaching from Shiva to Parvati that the ultimate truth in Kali Yuga is devotion and the repetition of God's name.

Come, seek the shelter at the divine feet or divine presence of the Gurudev." The lecturer leads a chanting session and discourse, explaining how the Guru's name is a boat to cross the ocean of ignorance. He discusses the restless, thieving nature of the mind, the disease of worry, and the need for surrender (sharana). He illustrates these themes with parables, including a story of a Guru using psychology to reveal a guilty thief and a tale of a devotee's unwavering longing for God despite physical torment.

Or in the pond, in the water pond, very nice, clean, and very still water. You look, and your face is inside. But it's only a reflection."

A spiritual discourse explaining the significance of Mahāśivarātri and the nature of Lord Śiva. "Śiva is not born; he has no mother, no son, and no father. He is the father; it is he who manifests himself." "This is the night which, every night, they were remembering this night of Śiva's, and that's why it's called Mahāśivarātri. 'Rātri' means the night." The speaker narrates the cosmic origin of Śiva as the eternal (Ādi) source from which Brahmā and Viṣṇu manifest, defining their roles as creator and protector. He then explains the festival's origin by telling the story of a desperate hunter who, while waiting in a Bīlva tree, unknowingly worships a Śivaliṅga by dropping water and leaves upon it throughout the night, thereby receiving Śiva's grace and protection for his family.

A satsang discourse on the integral and demanding path of Haṭha Yoga. "If you practice Bhakti Yoga, that is also Haṭha Yoga inside, because you must maintain your devotion continuously; it should not decrease but increase." "So, bhakti yoga cannot be successful without haṭha yoga. And then it must be what we call the real devotion. That is a test. The heart has to be very pure." The speaker explains that true spiritual devotion (bhakti) requires the steadfastness and discipline of Haṭha Yoga, using analogies of an airplane's smooth ascent and the steady flight of a swan contrasted with a noisy crow. He illustrates this with a story of a young girl, Karmabai, whose forceful and pure devotion compelled Lord Krishna to accept her offering, demonstrating that genuine love demands unwavering resolve. The talk concludes that all yoga paths are included within this disciplined approach. Filming location: Vép, Hungary

A spiritual discourse on the sacred geography of Fiji. "On this island resides Bhagavān Śiva.

"At the peak of that mountain, there is a beautiful lake, akin to Mānasarovara near Kailāśa mountain. The water of that lake is utterly pure, without pollution." The lecturer describes the island of Fiji as an ancient, sacred landscape inhabited by Lord Shiva and the Divine Mother. He details a mountain formation visible from Nadi Airport as a monument of Shakti and a holy lake with Shiva's footprint at its peak. He also mentions the growing Nag stone in Lambasa.

A discourse on a guru's non-discriminatory teaching methods, using a parable from the Mahabharata. "If yoga is in your blood, then yoga is in your blood. It means it is a home tradition, a home culture." "Masters have equal vision and no differences. If there are differences, then they are not masters." In response to a question about teaching Indians versus Europeans differently, the speaker explains that while foundational knowledge is the same, the method must suit the student's cultural background, like learning to cook at home versus from scratch. He then narrates the story of Eklavya, who, though rejected by the teacher Dronacharya, honored him as his guru from afar and offered his thumb as guru dakshina, illustrating that true teaching and devotion transcend physical presence and formal instruction. The master's love, like sunlight, shines on all disciples equally without favoritism. Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

He links this compassion to spiritual progress and recommends yoga practices, including Sarvahitāsan and prāṇāyāma, for personal and collective well-being. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

"If you bathe during that constellation, the nectar still has an effect on you—meaning it cleans your karmas and blesses you with immortality." "There is no austerity more than truth.

The lecturer begins by describing his profound experience at the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, taking a sacred bath for all devotees. He then shifts to a cautionary theme, recounting stories of Holy Guruji exposing fraudulent fortune tellers and so-called healers. He warns devotees against those who claim siddhis (powers) like seeing auras or predicting futures, arguing these are obstacles to true spiritual progress. He advises focusing on genuine devotion and practice, sharing a personal story where Mahaprabhuji counseled him to be like a steadfast banyan tree, free from expectation.

Satsang with Vishwaguruji, summer retreat in Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are different levels of our being such as: Atma, Jivatma, consciousness/awareness, mind, emotion, senses, desires, physical body and energy body. There is an inner balancing mechanism to distribute energy to the whole body. With proper inner engineering we should avoid destroying our system. We need healthy seasonal eating and enhanced practice such as Pranayam.

A spiritual discourse on the journey of the soul through birth, death, and karma. "Our soul—not the Ātmā, but the soul... the soul is individual, not universal."

New Year satsang from Blanicka Yoga Centre Prague.

The video explores the four aspects of grace, culminating in a detailed explanation of self-love or Kuṭkī Kṛpā. "Love each and every living being, if not more, then at least as much as yourself." "We cannot really love others if we don’t love ourselves." The teaching defines Deva Kṛpā (divine grace for human incarnation), Śāstra Kṛpā (grace through scriptures), Guru Kṛpā (the Guru's grace), and finally, Kuṭkī Kṛpā, which is one's own grace or self-love. This self-love is framed not as ego but as a high vibrational energy essential for spiritual growth. A practical method for cultivating it is presented through a three-step inner process: accept yourself as you are, seek to understand how you became that way through self-inquiry, and then move to giving, which includes forgiving yourself. A true story illustrates the healing power of sending love to one's own body. The session concludes with a parable about Guru Nānak's disciples, explaining how present actions interact with past karma, demonstrating that good deeds like attending satsaṅg can purify severe past karma, transforming major suffering into minor hardship.
