Preparing the Kalash
1:40 - 2:22 (42 min)
Recorded on
The essence of grace and refuge is found in devotion and surrender. This text is a devotional chant of praise and invocation, not a logical discourse. Its purpose is spiritual communion through repeated sacred names and phrases. The structure is repetitive and formulaic, focusing on reverence. It invokes the Guru and divine figures as the ultimate refuge. The fragmented phrases are for meditative repetition, not linear analysis. The core is taking refuge in grace. "Jaya Guru Deva Parabrahma Dīna Bandhu." "Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān Kī Jai." Filming location: Rajasthan, India
The form of the Supreme is the resonance
2:30 - 3:43 (73 min)
Recorded on
Morning program wth Vishwaguruji from Sydney, Australia. Sound unites us with the Supreme. Continuing of the explanation of bhajan "Itna to Karana Guruji". When the resonance is there, there is no duality and no need for explanation. Kind worlds melt the heart. Guru loves everyone as the father loves his children equally. One drop of lemon can destroy the milk. When we are getting negative love is gone.
Yogis are always alert
3:50 - 4:22 (32 min)
Recorded on
The ordinary mind oscillates between states of distraction and unconsciousness. In waking, one is physically present but mentally absent, with thoughts scattered far away. One is here, yet not truly here. Even in sleep, the inner world remains active with dreams and unresolved work. There is waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. The yogi transcends these ordinary states. Yoga Nidrā is not unconscious sleep but a state of profound, alert rest. Like a horse sleeping while standing on one leg, the yogi rests the body while consciousness remains fully awake and aware within. This is the fourth state, a balance of deep rest and total awareness, where one is asleep to the world yet awake to the true Self. "In that, for it is said, yoga sādhanā... How the yogīs, so yogī is not sleeping, and if they are sleeping, but they are awakened." "Know that yoga is the balance between sleep and wakefulness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Darshan and dhan
4:30 - 5:27 (57 min)
Recorded on
True wealth is found in spiritual vision, not material illusion. The darśana of the Guru is the highest blessing, surpassing all ritual and pilgrimage. Mere repetition of scriptures or practice of yoga is insufficient without this grace. People chase gold and money, mistaking transient possessions for real wealth. Even family bonds, like husband and wife, are often expressions of attachment, not the enduring harmony seen in nature. The real wealth is Darśana Dhan—the vision of God—which leads one forever upward. Worldly roles and gifts, like a mother's ring, are temporary tokens; the true legacy is spiritual awareness. Modern relationships fracture quickly because they lack Sat, the eternal truth. Satsaṅga is communion with that truth, which once attained, does not leave. This world is māyā, a great deceiver composed of the three guṇas, which entangle us through sweet words and desires, primarily attraction between genders and to riches. "Having darśana of the Sadhguru is higher than all pilgrimage." "Māyā is a great cheater... that aspect of God which can deceive us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
We are the cause of Mahapralaya
5:35 - 6:43 (68 min)
Recorded on
Chant mantras for protection and purity. The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra safeguards you, especially while driving. Another mantra purifies the heart like a lotus opening at dawn. Regular recitation acts as an ointment for inner vision. Human actions are causing environmental destruction leading towards a great dissolution. We cut forests, dig mines, destroy mountains, pollute with roads and pesticides, block rivers with dams, and slaughter animals. This removes Earth's balance, making it hollow and unstable. To prevent this, break the dams, stop deforestation and mining, and cease using wood and dug materials for building. Reject the scientists who caused this; convene a conference of farmers and normal people instead. Disseminate this message widely through letters and magazines. Where there is a will, there is a way. "Oṁ tryambhakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭi-vardhanam urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt." "Through this mantra, in our heart, such happiness comes, purity comes."

Stories are within you
6:50 - 7:48 (58 min)
Recorded on
Surrender to the guru is the path to grace, and stories are vessels for truth. We are not the doer; all action belongs to the guru. We surrender our capacity at the holy feet. An object, like carved stone, is transformed through consecration and placement upon the altar; it becomes divine through worship. Offer what you can from inner devotion. The guru's grace precedes our birth, and there are many true gurus. Do not judge them. A story was told of a poor man who asked a great sage four questions but was given only three answers for others' problems. By selflessly conveying the solutions—which revealed treasure and led to a marriage—his own poverty was resolved. Your word has power; speak with care, for what you declare takes form. Truth resides within, and a story is that inner store of experience. Learn through crafting tales from your own life. "First, give your answers. And he said, 'Only three questions.' And these three were the answer for your fourth." "The story is in you. So every day before going to sleep, have a story for yourself." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Prana and pranayam
7:55 - 8:42 (47 min)
Recorded on
The science of prāṇāyāma addresses the profound pollution of our existence. Prāṇa, the vital energy, is managed through three processes: Pūrak (inhalation), Rechak (exhalation), and Kumbhak (retention). Sanskrit, the language of this science, resonates deeply, expanding consciousness. Our existence relies on the five elements, with the earth as a nurturing mother who forgives our pollution. Yet now, her forgiveness is strained by our actions. We poison the outer earth—its waters and air—and then our own bodies with toxins and disease. The worst pollution is mental, leading to violence and ignorance. Yoga is designed for this. It is the first science, integrating our five bodies—physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and blissful. Success in yoga comes through karma, selfless action, but is opposed by the great enemy: laziness. The fire of yoga practice burns away all karmic seeds. Prāṇāyāma is more crucial than physical postures; it purifies and protects. It begins by balancing the psychic channels: the left nostril (Chandra, the moon) calms emotions, and the right (Sūrya, the sun) clarifies intellect. This purification of the nāḍīs is the primary tool for deep meditation and strength. "To pollute the earth is a sin. It means you pollute Mother Earth." "The most dangerous pollution is in the human mind." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Shiva has given us the human body
8:50 - 9:50 (60 min)
Recorded on
The soul originates from Śiva, the supreme reality beyond all gods and heavens. This world is a field of perpetual conflict between divine and demonic forces, yet even the heavens are transient. The human condition is one of constant change, oscillating between joy and sorrow, driven by endless desires for worldly objects and relationships. These desires are impurities that bind consciousness to the cycle of birth and death. In this age, these tendencies manifest as strife, jealousy, and division, obscuring the true purpose of human life. The sole aim is to transcend this realm and attain the immortal Brahmaloka, our original abode. This requires overcoming all transient attachments through spiritual discipline. The mind is stained by countless negative impressions from countless lives. Mere physical practices are insufficient; the fire of spiritual knowledge and intense practice is needed to burn these karmic seeds. One must cultivate detachment, discernment, and surrender. Through the guru's grace and the purifying fire of yoga, these impurities can be consumed. Then, the longing turns solely toward the divine, liberating the soul from all bondage. "From this Smṛti Loka to Brahmaloka, all kinds of desires or joy we think, it is just like dirt." "The fire of your yoga practice can burn into the ashes of our karmas."

The Essence of Satsaṅg and Gurukṛpā
9:55 - 10:54 (59 min)
Recorded on
Grace flows solely from Śiva through the Guru's lineage, blessing every cell and being. All creatures inherently seek this grace. Humans, possessing the ātmā, also carry deep negativity. The Satguru, the inner truth, counters this. Satsaṅg is gathering in truth, a cleansing communion with all beings. It fosters unity and love, washing away the dirt of daily life. This practice aligns us with the divine lineage and purpose. "Sat means truth. Asat is not that." "Satsaṅg means together. With us, good people." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 1 - Part 2
11:00 - 12:04 (64 min)
Recorded on
A morning yoga practice guides the body and breath toward relaxation and awareness. Begin by lying down, consciously relaxing each part of the body from the toes to the head. Observe the natural breath, then consciously deepen it into a full yogic wave moving from abdomen to chest. Coordinate simple stretches with inhalation and exhalation, feeling tension and release. Progress through poses that stretch the spine diagonally and twist it, always keeping the lower back close to the floor. Move into seated postures for flexion and extension of the spine, coordinating each movement with the breath. Conclude with deep relaxation, breath awareness, and a simple prāṇāyāma technique. "Feel your body becoming heavier with each exhalation." "Harmonize your movement with your breath." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Spirituality is without meat and alcohol
12:10 - 12:57 (47 min)
Recorded on
Milk is a primary source of prāṇa, essential for health. It comes from mothers—human, cow, buffalo, goat, or camel. From milk comes yogurt, then butter, then ghee, the essence that nourishes the body. The quality of the milk depends on the animal's health and feed; pure grass yields pure milk. Modern processing often adulterates this purity. Animals feel pain, so they must be treated with care and compassion, not exploitation. Consume milk consciously, knowing its source. Alcohol is a medicine, not for regular drinking; it causes familial strife. Choose good food without chemicals for your family's well-being. All religions are good; practice your sādhanā consciously, respecting others. Beauty is in the soul, not the transient body. "From the milk comes yogurt; from yogurt comes butter; and from butter comes ghee. That is the quality, that is the power that is good for our body’s health." "All animals or humans, we are living, they feel pain, and we also feel the pain. Therefore, we should take care." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The name is important not the body
13:05 - 13:30 (25 min)
Recorded on
The essence of all spiritual paths is one, though names and forms differ. In this age, humanity knows of conflict and war, yet the unifying difference now is spirituality. Whether called yoga, prayer, or meditation, the core is the same. Languages and nations vary, but the human essence and the teachings are one. Various centers and temples bear different names, just as children in a village each receive a unique name, yet all are human. One should not claim exclusivity for a single path or teacher. Many beautiful trees exist in many forests; all share in oneness. The physical body is transient, but the name based on one's deeds endures. We must welcome all, respecting every guest and tradition as part of the same human family. True yoga is not merely physical exercise but the prāṇa and spirit within. The name is immortal, while the form is not. "One in all and all in one." "The name is immortal. The body is not immortal." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The basics of ancient Indian philosophy
13:35 - 13:45 (10 min)
Recorded on
The eternal Self is the foundation beyond material science. I demonstrate an object that does not get wet or burn, symbolizing the immutable ātmā, the true Self. This wisdom of the Self, taught through Sanātana Dharma, Āyurveda, and Yoga, is not a discovered science but a revealed wisdom from ancient sages. Calling it 'science' creates difficulty, as Western authorities demand evidence they can recognize. Historical invasions led to the burning of repositories like Takṣaśilā, and colonial powers altered texts, disrupting the traditional evidence base. We are a community of compassion and ahiṃsā. Consider organ transplants: recipients sometimes adopt new habits from the donor. Research investigates this change. The explanation lies in prāṇa. Secondary prāṇas, like one retained after death, carry impressions. The final prāṇa holds the body together until released by cremation's agni. "Science is something that you discover. Science is where you discover wisdom; you don't discover this." "We cannot give them evidence because the evidence was burnt when Islam came into India." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The mercy of Bhagavan Shiva
14:35 - 15:05 (30 min)
Recorded on
Śiva is the eternal source and protector beyond birth and form. He is Ādi, the beginningless source from which all emerges. Śiva manifested Brahmā and Viṣṇu, assigning them roles: Brahmā creates, Viṣṇu preserves, and Śiva ultimately protects and dissolves. He maintains balance between all forces. The holy night of Mahāśivarātri commemorates his grace. A desperate hunter, failing to find food, climbed a Bīlva tree. Water from his vessel and leaves he dropped fell onto a Śiva Liṅga below, unknowingly performing worship. Throughout the night, he was moved to compassion and spared the lives of pleading deer. By dawn, Śiva, pleased with this inadvertent devotion, blessed the hunter and his family with sustenance, forbidding further killing. Śiva is Bholenāth, the easily pleased lord who grants boons to simple, sincere hearts, turning even accidental or flawed actions into devotion. "Śiva is not born; he has no mother, no son, and no father. He is the father; it is he who manifests himself." "So when man was there and Śiva came and Śiva said, 'I will protect these deer and I protect your families.'" Filming location: Sydney, Australia
We can reach God through Satsang
15:10 - 15:48 (38 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Ljubljana, Slovenia. Prasad is very great. It is given by God. We should live in peace and harmony otherwise we are lost. We can do good things only during our life. After death everything goes. A drop of water can become one with the ocean. We should be pure inside also. Satsang means to be together with our good friends and speak about the truth. Bhajan singing.

We mark 25 years of teaching Yoga in Daily Life here, a voluntary mission from an authentic Indian school. We secured our own space, now becoming a blessed ashram. We have brought yoga to schools, libraries, and communities for all ages through dedicated effort. Yoga is ancient, a science of body, mind, and soul, intertwined with Āyurveda as natural knowledge for health. It is not passive meditation but active practice for concentration and peace. Its universal message is recognized internationally. We must return to natural living, embracing yoga and Āyurveda for well-being, seeing all cultures and people as one family under God.

Recorded on
Conscious consumption is imperative for health and spiritual integrity. Many now consume insects and altered foods, a practice spreading globally. This causes physical harm, as foreign substances introduce problems into the body. We lack the proper enzymes to digest such matter, leading to potential blockages and disease. The food system contains hidden ingredients, with labeling often absent in restaurants. Market forces alone are insufficient, as some insect-based products are now cheap and popular. Collective endurance and personal action are required. Cook at home using known, raw ingredients to ensure purity. Unity and sustained refusal to buy harmful products can change industry practices. Historical movements succeeded through shared sacrifice and will. Your health and autonomy depend on what you choose to consume. "To digest such matter, we would need a special enzyme which we do not have." "The best food for our health is no-label food." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
