The Vedas
1:14 - 1:59 (45 min)
Recorded on
The Vedas are the holy scriptures of Sanātana Dharma, representing a vast river of knowledge. This knowledge was originally transmitted orally from master to disciple through Śruti, listening, and Smṛti, memory. In the Kali Yuga, human memory declined. To preserve the Vedas, the sage Vedavyāsa dictated them continuously. Gaṇeśa agreed to write them down on the condition that the dictation never stop. Gaṇeśa used his own tusk as a writing instrument. The knowledge contained within the Vedas is immeasurable, likened to the entire Himalayan mountain range compared to a mere handful of dust. All spiritual paths and practices originate from yoga. The goal is to internalize this knowledge through practice and meditation, ultimately cultivating peace within oneself to share with the world. "Śruti is what we listen to from the master—remembering the master's teaching. Smṛti is memory, so that one becomes the master or the great receiver who knows everything by heart." "Till now, what you have learned is only as much as the dust in your hand. And the Vedas are like the whole Himalaya." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Opening Address: Yoga for World Peace and Non-Violence
2:00 - 2:07 (7 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a universal principle for achieving peace, beginning with inner peace. Our organization supports this conference to promote non-violence and harmony, values shared by yoga and Hindu teachings. Personal qualities like truth, compassion, and self-control are essential for this journey. We believe all religions are equal paths to one God, and yoga serves as a balancing practice for all. This conference aims to exchange ideas on using yoga's principles to foster global peace and respectful relations among diverse peoples. "Yoga is not a religion. It represents the original balancing principle that promotes nonviolence and peacefulness." "To achieve peace in the world, we must start by achieving inner peace ourselves."

Around the world - YIDL at he Sziget Festival Budapest 2011
2:15 - 2:20 (5 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is offered as a sanctuary within a large music festival. For eleven years, we provide a daily practice, showing festival-goers how to relax deeply. Many newcomers try yoga here for the first time. We adapt to the fast-paced environment by offering 20-25 minute sessions tailored to individual requests for rest, asana, or meditation. Initial interest often comes from seeing dynamic asana practice. We always begin with simple, grounding exercises, not advanced postures. We emphasize preserving the tradition's purity and spirituality, contrasting with the popular strength-based styles. Our presence in this community space is essential, as many might not seek out a dedicated center. People practice even amidst loud music, achieving a withdrawal of the senses. This demonstrates that deep relaxation is possible anywhere. "Based on this, our prepared yoga instructors tailor the session accordingly." "The astonishing experience we have is that at most they achieve pratyāhāra, the withdrawal of the senses, so that they are absolutely undisturbed by what is happening outside."

Keep your spirituality
2:25 - 3:14 (49 min)
Recorded on
Time's passage is inevitable, and the continuity of life proceeds regardless of human effort. The sunset symbolizes this natural progression into age and reflection. Youth is preoccupied with action, while age brings contemplation of legacy and what slips away. Society often dismisses the elderly, yet true value lies not in appearance but in accumulated wisdom. Gray hair signifies hard-earned insight, not something to disguise. The essential support in life's dusk is spiritual light and lineage, not worldly achievements. Having children continues a lineage of dignity, but its quality depends on spiritual purity, not mere birth. True continuity is found in authentic spiritual practice and association, not in crowds or mixed intentions. "Let your reality come. In white or gray hair is the wisdom, my dear." "No matter how strong you are or how much you practice, when that Kuśaṅga is in you, your body and everything will be destroyed." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Keep your energies pure
3:20 - 4:10 (50 min)
Recorded on
This seminar is for purifying energy and retreating the body. Modern life fills us with stress and impure energies from electronics, pollution, and others. We must cleanse these through our practice. Maintain physical space from others to avoid exchanging foreign energies. Use natural materials like kuśa grass or pure cotton on your yoga mat; plastic mats block and distort energy. Wear full, cotton clothing during practice to protect your energy field. Do not force the body; adapt yoga for all ages. Practice prāṇāyāma to clear pollutants. This purification is essential for spiritual progress and overcoming obstacles. "Darkness cannot come towards light. But if this light is out, then darkness is celebrating." "Your body should be covered. What happens is that you are recharging what is called biofeed energy." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Recorded on
Miracles arise from faith and the Guru's grace. A disciple's infant was declared terminally ill with non-functioning kidneys. A specific mantra was given and practiced with the laying on of hands; the child recovered fully and later had her own children. Her brother was also revived from a state declared lifeless by doctors. In the lineage, a farmer's wife placed her dead child under the Guru's bed, pleading for life. The child was restored. Another master caused birds killed for food to fly back to life. These events demonstrate the power inherent in the tradition. Faith is essential. One may claim disbelief, but in extremity, all call out. Trust must be complete, like a climber asked to let go while hanging from a cliff. Different names exist, but God is one. Practice the given techniques with devotion. "After 10 days, the parents went to the hospital again to check. And the doctor said, 'What happened?'" "God said, 'Do you trust in me?' 'Yes, I trust in you.' Then God said, 'Will you do what I tell you?' 'Yes.' 'Then release your hands.'" Filming location: Vancouver, Canada
Development and Chakras
9:00 - 10:14 (74 min)
Recorded on
The classical temple dance Bharata Nāṭyam is a 5,000-year-old symbolic language of art, spirituality, and yoga. Each movement and rhythm is mathematically precise, conveying that a higher power exists beyond the material world. Its essence combines expression, melody, rhythm, and dance to communicate eternal truths. The mind, governed by the moon, is connected to emotion and the svādhiṣṭhāna chakra. This chakra's six petals, like greed and anger, affect the individual. Their influence rises to the ājñā chakra, the seat of intellect and discernment. One must purify these energies. Worldly possessions create slavery; true wealth is spiritual knowledge, which must be shared. A story illustrates misunderstanding spiritual instruction. A father's testament gave wise advice for living, but the son interpreted it literally, wasting his inheritance. The true treasure was hidden, revealed only by correctly understanding the guidance. The key is within. The ājñā chakra is the command center. Its essence is represented by the bīja mantra Oṁ and the sounds ha and ṭha, forming Haṭha Yoga, which awakens inner wisdom. "Indian dance is a symbolic language. It elucidates through metaphor that there is not only a material world, but also a higher power." "Ājñā means order, the boss. And there are two bīja mantras... Oṁ... and the other bīja mantra is ha and ṭha in the cakra... Together it becomes yoga, so Haṭha Yoga." Filming location: USA
System of the chakras and the sound
10:20 - 11:20 (60 min)
Recorded on
The Ājñā Chakra is reached through the foundational energy of the navel. Crossing into this chakra is difficult, as the ego arises at every border between states of being. Lower emotions can pull consciousness back down. All paths are correct, yet all beings share a common root. For those born from a mother, this root is the navel, the seat of the solar fire. All chakras originate from this center in the Maṇipūra. The primordial sound, the seed of all language and vibration, also emanates from here. This sound is the essence of life and consciousness, connecting all beings through an unseen language of energy. A practice exists to awaken this connection. Place one hand on the navel and another on the head. Chant the sound inwardly, allowing resonance to travel upward without physical movement. This kriyā purifies the energy channels and brings clarity. "Everyone helps the strong. Rarely, or nobody, will help the weak one." "Fire is fire. And that fire is in our navel."

The completness of our being
11:25 - 12:36 (71 min)
Recorded on
The eternal journey of the soul is understood through the body. The body is a house where God speaks. Every creature operates by this divine intelligence, evident in the coordinated flight of birds or movement of fish. The soul occupies this body, which is like a chariot pulled by ten horses—the five senses of perception and five of action—controlled by the mind. To understand the soul, first understand and purify the body. Control hunger and thirst. Purify emotions like jealousy, which attack the body. Yoga and prāṇāyāma are sciences for this purification, not acrobatics. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life-giving nourishment. Our actions, or karma, generate reactions, causing the soul to journey through various realms. This journey is like a blind person circling a hall, missing the door to liberation due to desires. The soul takes different forms based on karma. Human life is a rare chance to end this cycle through purification and right understanding. "Jisme Nārāyaṇa Bole, Par Guru Binā Bheda Kaun Kholē." "The body does not die. Only space in the space, air in the air, water in the water, earth in the earth." Filming location: London, UK
Searching for Brahmaloka
12:40 - 13:59 (79 min)
Recorded on
The eternal sacrifice for dharma manifests across all ages. In every yuga, divine and demonic forces engage in perpetual struggle. The crucifixion of Jesus represents one such sacrifice, not an isolated event but part of a timeless pattern where beings offer themselves for universal well-being. This battle is like cultivating a field where weeds grow stronger than the planted crops, requiring constant vigilance. Heaven or Svargaloka is a temporary realm for those with good karma, not final liberation. True dedication requires free will and selflessness, exemplified by the sage Dadhichi who donated his bones while alive to forge a weapon against evil. Spiritual practice, like a well-trodden path, must be consistent to prevent the weeds of karma from regrowing. Success depends not on intellectual knowledge but on obedience to the master and the continuous repetition of divine names amidst daily work. "Whenever the dharma is getting humiliated and adharma is growing, I come to destroy adharma and to establish the dharma again." "Take all my bones, and each and every bone I donate."

How to control the problems
13:45 - 14:53 (68 min)
Recorded on
The Viśuddhi Chakra is a center of immense energy and responsibility, holding the poison we swallow from life. This poison is the negative words, thoughts, and energies from others that we internalize, blocking our throat center. It manifests as physical ailments like thyroid issues and as fear. Fear is essential for safety; without it, we are in danger. This emotional poison must be purified through correct meditation. Do not run away by imagining distant, beautiful scenes. You must go within yourself to solve problems. The human being is composed of five sheaths: the physical body, the energy body, the mental body, the wisdom body, and the bliss body. Our true self is the soul, which is one and indestructible. To navigate this, we need a master and practice. Ego in thinking you need no master leads to disaster. A true Satguru's guidance and mantra, practiced diligently like a mala even in sleep, are essential. They provide the awareness on the path. All techniques and knowledge ultimately flow from that one source. Concentrate on your inner self, not on external distractions. "Meditation—different kinds of meditation... but from all this we run away." "If you have no fear, you are in danger." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

Utilizing the Vajra Nadi
15:50 - 16:45 (55 min)
Recorded on
The Vajra Nāḍī is the strong trunk needed to balance the three primary energy channels. Our systems are in chaos because people change authentic names and teachings, leading everyone astray. Āyurveda is the best but is now untrustworthy due to conflicting advice. Yoga is similarly confused; even the Bhagavad Gītā's 18 Yogas are ignored. Sanskrit and reality are unchangeable, like a poem. Our body has sections: divine above, human and animal in the middle, and vegetative below. The Vajra Nāḍī, meaning iron-strong, is the foundational support. It is located between the big and second toes, connecting to the navel. Balance in the navel is essential; an imbalanced pulse indicates physical issues and blocks spiritual progress. A simple leg-stretching technique can correct this. Without this balance, practices like prāṇāyāma will not awaken the kuṇḍalinī. "Āyurveda is the best, but don't trust it blindly because everyone gives different instructions and medicines." "Unless your navel is in balance, you can do all your Kriya yogas, and nothing will happen." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The ancient science of Yoga
20:35 - 21:49 (74 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness for human well-being. Humans uniquely possess self-awareness and the capacity for both good and bad. We have the freedom to choose our path. To know ourselves is the goal. Ancient scriptures describe creation emerging from a primordial resonance. The human body is a network of 72,000 nerves and energy centers called cakras. These range from basic physical centers in the feet to divine centers in the head. Purifying these through practices like prāṇāyāma balances the body and mind. Kuṇḍalinī is the latent spiritual energy at the base of the spine. Awakening it is a profound science. Yoga offers practical techniques for health and self-realization. It requires daily dedication, but the benefits are immense. "Do you believe in me? My son, then release your hands." "Yoga is the best for your life. You can do it for your health, for concentration, for some diseases, for happiness—many things." Filming location: Gold Coast, Australia

Yoga and the creation
23:50 - 1:18 (88 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, uniting the individual with the divine. Consciousness existed before creation in empty space. From that consciousness came resonance, the primal sound Aum, which is the beginning of all creation. This resonance manifested as light and then as Śiva, the principle of pure consciousness. From this, 8.4 million life forms emerged, including humans. All beings share one consciousness, just as all water shares the same essence. The human body contains this knowledge within. The five sheaths, or kośas, are the physical body, vital energy, mind, intellect, and bliss. The mind is the most powerful force. Humans possess great potential for development, yet also face the choice between elevating or degrading their consciousness. The body has 72,000 subtle channels, with three primary ones: the lunar, solar, and central channels. Balance between the lunar and solar energies is essential for health. The cakras are energy centers from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, mapping our evolution from earthly to divine awareness. Kuṇḍalinī is the dormant spiritual energy at the base of the spine; its awakening brings clarity and joy, not physical sensations. True yoga is union, harmony, and inner peace. "Everything is within yourself. Who is yourself is also myself." "Yoga means union, uniting, harmonizing this together. It connects us to God." Filming location: Sydney, Australia
