A guided instructional session on the Sūrya Namaskāra (Sun Salutation) practice, integrating physical postures, cakra concentration, and mantra. "It is said that daily morning practice of Sūrya Namaskāra makes your body and self like the sun." "While performing Sūrya Namaskāra with cakra concentration, we focus on the physical location but can also become aware of the positive qualities of each cakra." An instructor at Śrīdhara Purījī Āśrama leads a comprehensive practice, beginning with detailed alignment instructions for each posture, emphasizing safety and quality of movement. The session then layers in concentration on specific cakras (like Viśuddhi at the throat and Anāhata at the heart) during the sequence, and finally integrates the practice with the silent repetition of the twelve Sūrya mantras, chanted by a companion. The teaching covers the spiritual significance of the sun and aims to unify movement, breath, and awareness. Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Sound and resonance
3:15 - 4:11 (56 min)
Recorded on
Morning Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. Regardless whether you understand bhajans or not, the resonance awakens spirituality in you. The resonance of the songs is reflected in our ten indriyas (organs of perception and action). Swami Sivananda said in his bhajan: those are my friends who understand my words. Shabda means sound, words. In the Gurukul, the warrior students learnt all mantras for archery. By the power of these mantras the arrow goes straight to where the sound of the tiger came from. Vishwaguruji explains the karmic sin of King Dasharatha, father of God Rama.
Build your intellect supportive
4:15 - 5:31 (76 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on maintaining clarity of purpose and guarding against negative influences. "Your aim should be clear. Nothing can change me. The sun and moon can change their direction, but I will not change my direction." "One stupid thought, one stupid person can destroy all your spiritual sādhanā, which you made years and years long with great confidence and with great love." Swami Ji addresses the community, explaining how a lack of clear aim allows the intellect to be distracted and how negative gossip and jealousy can spoil one's spiritual practice, like lemon curdling milk. He narrates the story of Nārada creating doubt between Śiva and Pārvatī to illustrate the destructive power of negative talk, and emphasizes the need for humility, love, and avoiding harmful company to protect one's spiritual progress.

"The key is to balance the Sūrya and Chandra Nāḍīs... The Iḍā Nāḍī, the left channel, must be purified first." Swami Ji explains the critical importance of balancing the idā and piṅgalā energy channels through correct prāṇāyāma technique. He details the precise hand mudrā, emphasizes always beginning with the left nostril, and outlines a sequential practice from purification (śodhana) to connecting the energy (vedanā). The talk cautions against incorrect practice, highlights the role of the ājñā chakra, and stresses that true understanding requires years of dedicated practice under guidance.

Hatha Yoga is in every kind of Yoga
5:35 - 5:58 (23 min)
Recorded on
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

Yoga practising and meditation will change the new generation in the world. The wold needs to love no war. Mantras destroy many illnesses. All religion is a sector. Gayatri mantra is very good to chains when the sun is rising. In Asia girls praying with her mother for a good husband. Beauty is in the heart and in the soul. Many nerves and many bones disappear during our life. The prana is energy, it is God. If zótgere is prana in the body there is life also. We should not destroy the prana of the animals. Not easy to go away from the human body. The graveyard is a very holy place.

A satsang featuring a personal testimony followed by a discourse on divine justice and karma. "My life has been connected with spirituality since I was 21. At that point, my life changed a lot. I caused an accident while driving to work and ran over a person." "It is the justice of God. When the soul goes, there are two ways: Svarga or Naraka, heaven or hell. Hell is presided over by Yama, the god of death." A seeker named Janez shares his spiritual journey, beginning with a traumatic accident that led him to spirituality. Swāmījī then responds by giving him the spiritual name Dharmadrasa and launches into an extensive teaching on the afterlife. He describes the roles of Yamarāja (the lord of death) and Dharmarāja (the lord of righteousness) in judging souls based on their karma, emphasizing the consequences of actions like meat-eating and the importance of kindness. He illustrates these principles with stories, including one from the Mahāśivapurāṇa about Śiva protecting a devotee from Yama. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
