Shiva has given us the human body
1:40 - 2:40 (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 form of the Supreme is the resonance
2:45 - 3:58 (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.
Prana and pranayam
4:05 - 4:52 (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
We are the cause of Mahapralaya
5:00 - 6:08 (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."

We got the energy of our parampara
7:20 - 8:49 (89 min)
Recorded on
Satsaṅg is the essential life and path to the cosmic. It is the company of all holy people and religions, where the heart turns to God beyond language. Without regular satsaṅg and meditation, one becomes covered in dust, an impurity that constantly returns and must be cleaned. This cleaning is the practice of mantra, prāṇāyāma, and good deeds. The current age is Kali Yuga, characterized by this rapid accumulation of spiritual dust. The guru lineage provides the steps for purification. This paramparā extends from Śiva's time through Alakpurījī, Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and Holy Gurujī. The teachings and power of this lineage are transmitted to guide all. Practice is essential; the techniques must be received and passed on correctly to bear fruit. One must engage with the teachings or risk losing the path. "Satsaṅg is the only life, next to nothing." "If we don't have meditations or satsaṅgs or time with good people together, then we are not holy people." Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia

The Essence of Satsaṅg and Gurukṛpā
12:00 - 12:59 (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

Iyengar Yoga During Pregnancy: A Synthesis of Tradition and Experience
14:00 - 15:42 (102 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a unified science of experience, transmitted through specific methodologies for application in life. The term "Iyengar Yoga" refers to one such tradition, emphasizing precision and the use of props to make the experience of āsanas accessible to all, regardless of condition. This approach allows for stability and comfort in any circumstance. The practice is supported by both long-term observation and formal research, which shows physiological changes, such as increased GABA levels, correlating with reduced anxiety and depression. Applying this methodology to pregnancy involves strengthening the body and mind to manage stress and physiological changes. Specific, supported āsanas can address common issues like back pain and prepare for delivery. Crucially, practice must be guided by an experienced teacher within a framework of safety, collaborating with modern medicine rather than opposing it. The same principles apply in managing conditions like cancer, where yoga practices modulate stress responses, improve immune function, and help manage treatment side effects, contributing to better quality of life. The goal is always balance and integration. "Āsanas are descriptions, not prescriptions." "Samatvaṁ yoga ucyate. Balance is yoga." Filming location: Delhi, India

Vegetarian cooking lesson 12, Indian Upma
16:00 - 16:07 (7 min)
Recorded on
Upma is a simple, nourishing dish prepared quickly with roasted semolina and vegetables. Begin by dry-roasting the semolina to make it lighter and digestible. Heat ghee, which nourishes the body and supports the mind, in a pan. Fry chopped young onions, carrots, kohlrabi, and bell pepper. Mix powdered spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, Himalayan salt, and chili with a little water. Add the roasted semolina to the pan and fry briefly. Pour in boiling water while stirring continuously until the mixture becomes compact. Finish with fresh coriander and lemon juice to enhance flavor. This makes a light meal suitable for breakfast or dinner, served with a vegetable salad and yogurt. "Ghee greatly improves the entire body, helps create more bodily tissues, and is very beneficial for our brain." "Lemon juice is very useful as it enhances the flavor of the food."

The mercy of Bhagavan Shiva
16:15 - 16:45 (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
Building the Ashram
16:50 - 17:25 (35 min)
Recorded on
This is our ashram, a place of being and bliss. We are all here together, sitting with sādhus and yogīs, and it is very good. The essence must be in our body. An ashram is our home. Understanding comes from above, from God to mother to human. It arrives directly, like from Akkar to Nābhi. Even a mother may not know how it comes, but it is our prophet. God is the only one and will become human. If humans belong to India, then all children are equal. That one will enter God, will enter the body. We must care for the human mind. We are here, and we will do the work. In construction, one must think about how people feel inside. A building is not just a roof; it should be pleasant. The best materials are natural, like wood and straw, which support humans. Materials modified by humans, like bricks and lime, are good. Stones like sandstone are neutral, but granite harms the body. Modern materials like steel and concrete are dead and not healthy. We follow Vāstu Śāstra, the science of building, so the earth supports everyone living there. We use lime, not just cement, for healthier buildings. Wood is the best material and can be used for multi-story buildings and large halls. "This is our ashram; this is our ashram. And when you see it, oh, it is very nice." "The best materials are natural, like wood and straw, which support humans." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
The power of Gurudev's blessing
17:30 - 18:00 (30 min)
Recorded on
The great fortune is to be in satsaṅg, not entangled in the distractions of the age. This gathering provides rich spiritual food, not the mental fast food many consume. To digest this requires strong inner fire and practice. Simply being in this atmosphere purifies energy and grants strength. The most vital part is the personal connection—greeting the teacher and receiving prasāda. This act releases karma and provides sustenance felt long after. Prasāda is the holy essence capable of transforming a life, as is true darśana. "Prasāda is the essence." "That Prasāda is completely able to change our life if we know what Prasāda is."

Stories are within you
18:05 - 19:03 (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
Spirituality is without meat and alcohol
19:10 - 19:57 (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 Guru is the foremost principle and the essential guide for liberation. All beings require a Guru, as even divine incarnations followed their teachers. The Guru alone ferries the soul across the ocean of worldly existence to God. Initiation can be received at any time, though Guru Purnima is most auspicious. With complete devotion and dedication to the Guru, all difficulties cease and supreme attainment is reached. The Guru's grace makes everything in life possible and leads to success. Through the Guru's blessings, one is united with the divine. "Without a Guru, nothing can happen in this world. Our only helper is the Guru." "Guru Kṛpā. So when you have full devotion and dedication towards your Guru, you will always be happy." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
The hidden powers in humans - Nadis
21:25 - 21:56 (31 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through balance. The universe is an endless cosmic body containing a consciousness that seeks to multiply. From the primordial sound Oṁ, the five elements were created, forming all life. The human is distinguished by an educable intellect. The physical body contains 72,000 energy channels, or nāḍīs, through which cosmic energy flows. Three principal nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā—govern emotion, activity, and consciousness. Where they intersect, energy centers or chakras form. The dormant spiritual energy, Kuṇḍalinī, must awaken and rise to unite with pure consciousness. Lower chakras connect to elemental and animal realms, influencing base behaviors. The mind coordinates between the conscious and subconscious; it cannot be controlled, only guided. Physical practices are not yoga itself but methods to create the balance that is yoga. "Yoga means balance. Where there is balance, there is harmony. Where there is harmony, there is unity." "The mind cannot be controlled. If you control the mind, then psychic problems will appear. You cannot control the river, you cannot block it, you can guide the river." Filming location: Sunshine Coast, Australia
Around the world - Yoga against backpain SLO
22:00 - 22:36 (36 min)
Recorded on
The spine's structure, function, and care through yoga are examined. The spine consists of 24 vertebrae forming the axial skeleton, protecting the spinal cord. Muscles and ligaments support posture and movement. Pain arises from acute strain or chronic issues like poor alignment and disc damage. Daily postures, such as prolonged sitting, create imbalance and excessive load, particularly on the lower lumbar vertebrae. Proper biomechanics and the hydraulic function of intervertebral discs are crucial for distributing force. A brief daily yoga practice can alleviate these issues. Gentle stretching, twisting, and strengthening āsanas, performed with awareness, relieve tension, mobilize the spine, and improve overall energy. Consistency in a short morning routine yields significant benefit. "The spinal cord is the main highway in our body for nerve signals." "Chronic pains are more complex. They last for months or even years." Filming location: Slovenia
The materialized OM
22:40 - 23:02 (22 min)

A refreshing wind signals progress as we prepare for the temple's opening in four months, a short time when busy. The leader's presence accelerates the work, though daily changes are subtle until seen from afar. This completion is a divine achievement of a great vision, yet it is not an end but a step in perpetual creation. Our role is to participate and support, for every small action has effect. This place transforms the land and society, carrying a universal vibration. We must invite skilled helpers to share in this work for future generations, a gift for all humanity to draw nearer to the divine. "Time seems to run more quickly when we are busy, when we engage ourselves in activities." "This area will never be completed. It is like the universe." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
The name is important not the body
23:10 - 23:35 (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
