Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
0:20 - 0:55 (35 min)
Recorded on
Devotion manifests through repetitive praise and ecstatic song. The core practice is the invocation of divine names and gurus. This chanting is a phonetic rendering of a live devotional session. Its repetitive phrases are musical refrains, not discursive arguments. The varying epithets for deities are typical of invocation. The text is a record of spiritual expression, not logical exposition. Its primary function is celebratory praise. The content is an aural and devotional experience. "Guru Viśva Bādaśā, Arāja Sūno Sarkā." "Śiro maṇi manuṣya tā na dhārī huvā." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The truth is tapas
0:05 - 1:11 (66 min)
Recorded on
The Kumbha pot symbolizes the nectar of immortality, a truth within spiritual practice. During the Kumbh Melā, bathing at the sacred confluence during an auspicious constellation cleanses karma and bestows blessings. I took the ritual bath for all devotees, transferring the merits for their health and realization. The immense gathering generates a collective spiritual energy that awakens inner strength. However, the spiritual path is often obscured by false claims of psychic powers and siddhis. Many pretend to see auras or tell futures, exploiting pure-hearted seekers. Such lies are a great sin and a major obstacle. True spiritual power manifests naturally through presence and goodness, not for show or gain. Do not be deceived by those offering magical solutions or creating fear. Your focus must remain on genuine devotion and practice under a true lineage. Expectations lead to disappointment; be like the steadfast banyan tree, providing shelter without attachment. The ultimate goal is self-realization, ending all suffering. "Satya barabar tap nahi, jhoot barabar pāp—there is no austerity more than truth, and no greater sin than to lie." "Be that banyan tree which welcomes everyone, is never overwhelmed, and never sad."

Protect the animals
2:25 - 2:56 (31 min)
Recorded on
A prayer for protection and balance in response to suffering. An earthquake has caused loss and hardship. Prayers and ceremonies have positive effects. We are in Kali Yuga, a distracting age. Shiva will now balance all negatives to bring a better time. Messages suggest more challenges will come. We must act. First, protect all life: in water, on land, and in the air. Do not destroy creatures; love and feed them. From your own food, give a portion to animals. This protection of others is protection for ourselves. Spiritual progress is like drawing water from a deep well; negative actions can break the rope, causing a fall. We should also practice yoga: postures like Sarvahitāsan and prāṇāyāma. These bring health. Breathing is life itself. "Shiva will balance all. He will bring that kind of energy so that all the negatives or distracting things will slowly, slowly be brought into a good position." "If we cannot give them something good, then at least we should not destroy them or make problems for them." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Master should have equal vision
3:00 - 3:25 (25 min)
Recorded on
A master's teaching adapts to the student's background but arises from a place of non-discrimination. Teaching varies based on a student's inherent culture, like learning to cook at home versus from scratch. Language also shapes the delivery, as perfect translation of meaning is difficult. However, the true master holds no distinction in heart, like a sun shining on all. The story of Eklavya illustrates this: though formally rejected, his devotion to his guru as a statue made him a great archer. The master teaches from within, beyond speech, through divine love. Disciples who perceive favoritism are mistaken. The master knows each student's needs and administers many tests. True service is to see oneself not as a successor, but as eternally serving the guru. "Love does not require any words. Love does not need any explanation." "The master is like a sun, and the disciples are like all of us who benefit from the sunlight."

Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
3:30 - 4:09 (39 min)
Recorded on
The yogic sleep of the realized being is a state of wakeful awareness. In that sleep, one knows wakefulness and makes the night bright as day. The senses are withdrawn yet perceiving, unattached like a white lotus in muddy water. One abides in the self, radiant on the throne of the heart. Wherever one looks or hears, there is no ordinary thought or sight. This is the sleep known to saints and sages, where consciousness remains fully conscious. "In that sleep, one knows wakefulness and makes the night bright as day." "Wherever one looks or hears, there is no ordinary thought or sight." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Bhajan singing in the Strilky Ashram
5:00 - 5:35 (35 min)
Recorded on
The essence of spiritual transmission lies in the Guru's grace and the disciple's receptivity. The sacred words and hymns originate from the enlightened masters. These teachings are preserved in extensive texts. The precise historical details are less significant than the living truth they convey. The fundamental reality is known directly through this grace. Logical analysis of form cannot grasp this essence. The path is sustained by devotion and attentive listening. "Antaḥ Mūlaṁ Guru Vākyaṁ, Śravaṇa Mūlaṁ Guru Kṛpā." "Jaha sun chetan hai, aur nazar nahī̃ ānī hai..." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A pilgrim's vision reveals the urgency of spiritual action. The traveler sees a form, a reminder of life's fleeting nature. Act now on what you must do, or face regret. Delay is not an option. The divine provides answers and sustains life. The true Guru's word is liberation itself. It is the final refuge and the ultimate truth. Hold firmly to that promise. "Whatever you have to do, do it. Otherwise, you will regret it." "The Guru's word is liberation. The Guru's word is liberation." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The same light lits in all of us
1:00 - 1:44 (44 min)
Recorded on
The Guru is the ultimate guide and embodiment of the divine principle, surpassing all forms. The scriptures equate the Guru with the trinity of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśvara. When having darśan of a deity, one must not break concentration for any saint except one's own Guru, who is considered higher. The highest reality is where all three divine aspects unite as one, which is our Satguru. Even incarnated gods needed a Guru to teach. Satsaṅg refreshes existing knowledge; the ultimate peace we seek is already within but obscured. Realization comes from shifting focus from 'I' to 'thy' and going within. The Guru provides guidance and grace, but the disciple must perform the work. Spiritual progress requires time and personal effort, like metal being heated and hammered into shape. We are the witness, not the doer. The body is temporary; love opens the door to the divine. Inner enemies must be conquered first. Practice reduces negative tendencies. Be content with what you have, yet seek more spiritual devotion. The Guru gives light unconditionally, without background checks. The disciple must preserve and forward this light. Periods of difficulty are necessary phases for growth. Surrender to the Guru's will and have faith. Worldly knowledge differs from spiritual knowledge, which brings growth. Achieve peace by reducing thoughts and expectations. Nothing we possess is truly ours; only spiritual practice accompanies us. Live in the present with gratitude, focused on the path toward self-realization. "Guru is Brahmā, Guru is Viṣṇu, Guru is Maheśa." "The only thing which goes with is the mantra, japa, and the bhakti which we did." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Slovenska Vas, Slovenia.
Active and passive meditation
2:20 - 3:14 (54 min)
Recorded on
Meditation is an ancient practice with two forms: active karma yoga and passive inner absorption. This world is a mortal field of action where all that is born will die and all that is created will be destroyed. It is also a living planet, a home for countless creatures, not just humans. Humanity's error is believing the planet belongs solely to us, using our intellect to govern and destroy it. There are two worlds: the perfect God-made world and the imperfect man-made world, which are now in disharmony due to human selfishness. We have become a destructive force, stealing from and harming nature for our comfort, leading to climate crises as nature's reaction. True success is not personal gain that causes another's loss, but action that considers all beings. Therefore, return to karma yoga—selfless, protective work—as your worship. After such active work, practice passive meditation by withdrawing the senses, surrendering burdens to the divine, and seeking oneness. Meditation requires techniques to concentrate and ultimately merge, allowing you to see the divine beauty in all creation, which physical eyes alone cannot perceive. "Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam—through the practice of karma yoga, you will be successful in your yoga practice." "Mother Nature has enough for everyone’s need, but not for the greed."

Mansik Puja to Vishwaguruji
3:20 - 3:46 (26 min)
Recorded on
A guided meditation for a spiritual teacher's birthday, performed mentally by disciples who cannot be physically present. Visualize the teacher seated before you. Perform a mental worship: apply sacred mark to his feet with a chant, light an imagined lamp, and perform ritual circling with it. Offer flowers, make full prostration, and ask for forgiveness. Feel the teacher's hand blessing your head, transmitting light and power. Offer him imagined food. Express profound gratitude for his incarnation, work, and guidance. Pray for peace, happiness, and steadfastness on the path. Pray for the teacher's health and strength, stating that while he can heal all, your prayers and love are what sustain him. "Visualize in your heart that he is sitting in front of you, and we are sitting in front of him." "As a guru, Gurudev cannot fix himself. That is going against the laws... But our prayers and our love are the only things that can give him the strength." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Blessed moments with Holy Guruji
5:40 - 6:00 (20 min)
Recorded on
The guru's presence is a transformative teaching beyond words. I met Gurujī but did not know Hindi, creating a perceived barrier. Yet, his storytelling was a profound lesson; he fully embodied each character, making them instantly known. That moment taught me the power of non-verbal communication—how body, voice, and movement express inner states and can change our inner world. Every action was a teaching; singing a bhajan, he transformed the atmosphere with immense energy. Being with him was full of that strong energy and love; language was unnecessary. Great souls possess tremendous humor and love that transforms. To be near such energy requires strong nerves and preparation through sādhanā, or one may fall asleep from the intensity. Though Gurujī is no longer physically here, he is present in every satsaṅg and bhajan. Through the bhajans, which are rare and preserved from the paramparā, the guru is with us. We owe the opportunity to know this lineage and these bhajans to Viśva Gurujī. "Gurujī became every actor, every person in that story." "Language was never a problem; there was no need to talk."
