The Yogic Anatomy and Practice
0:40 - 1:54 (74 min)
Recorded on
The subject is Kuṇḍalinī and Chakras. Humans possess a highly developed consciousness capable of realizing the divine energy within. The self is experienced in the heart, yet is present throughout the entire body. The human system is composed of five sheaths: the physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and blissful bodies. The 72,000 nerve channels converge at points called chakras, which are centers of energy and consciousness. Desires and mental power are strong forces that can bind or liberate. Various yoga paths exist to purify these layers and direct energy upward from the base chakras, associated with primal instincts, toward the higher centers of perception and unity. The ultimate aim is to transcend all sheaths and realize the oneness of the individual soul with the universal consciousness, which is present everywhere. "Though it is here, yes, but I am... I am here, but I am everywhere." "Everyone is God. So everywhere is God." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada
Around The World - Vegetarianism and top sport, Part 3
2:00 - 2:23 (23 min)
Recorded on
We prepare two distinct meals for athletes. The first is whole wheat pasta with sauce and a green salad for endurance. The second is vegetables with fava beans and tofu for muscle building. Both include a milkshake. For athletes, avoid sugar; use raisins or dried fruit. Use minimal water and oil. Start cooking harder vegetables first. Season lightly with Himalayan salt, tamari, and spices like cumin and turmeric for digestion. Add leafy herbs at the end to preserve aroma. The milkshake combines nuts, cottage cheese, milk, and natural sweeteners. It serves as a protein-rich energy source. Brewer's yeast can be added for B12. "A key principle in cooking is to never use too much water." "Sports food should not be overly spiced or heavily fried, but it should not be tasteless either." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Tree planting in Auckland
3:55 - 4:24 (29 min)
Recorded on
A community gathers to plant a tree for peace following a national tragedy. This beach was a replacement for one lost to development decades prior. The planting is a symbol of peace and unity, directly responding to a recent shooting in Christchurch. Representatives from many nations express honor at participating. They emphasize that the tree represents a global wish for peace, harmony, and the fulfillment of prayers. The act is a practical step toward protecting humanity and the environment. The tree is blessed as a living being essential for life and a focal point for meditation. It is dedicated to the victims of the violence, with prayers that such events never recur. The ceremony concludes with collective prayers and blessings for peace. "This tree is for the peace of the whole world." "We are humans and we are all one." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand
System of the chakras and the sound
4:30 - 5:30 (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 Glory of Alak Purījī
4:30 - 5:47 (77 min)
Recorded on
The name Alak signifies the indescribable glory of a perfected being. A Purī denotes a city where sannyāsīs reside and preach. Ādiguru Śaṅkarācārya established such centers. A Siddha or Avadhūta is one who has achieved everything and possesses all Siddhis, yet has no personal desire. These beings are beyond longing; the Siddhis serve them. They dwell in a state of oneness, free from thirst, hunger, or pain. Alak also means 'indescribable,' and Niranjan means 'spotless.' Such a being has no blemish on the soul. They may go for bhikṣā, not as beggars but to annihilate the ego. Giving to those who ask is a duty without judgment. The act of donation is complete when given; one must not seek its return or dictate its use. Purification of the inner instrument is essential. Through such sādhanā, one may perceive the indescribable. "Alak means indescribable; we cannot write that glory." "Give and give and give. One day we will give them our body."

Yagya
5:35 - 6:34 (59 min)
Recorded on
The sacred union of marriage is a spiritual dharma that creates a single entity for the journey toward heaven. Husband and wife reunite through their astral bodies after death, regardless of who departs first. This union is essential for performing a proper yajña, requiring a sympathetic couple. Dharma, or cosmic justice, is administered by Dharmarāja and Yamarāja, with Śiva as their master. A married couple is like a bird with two wings; divorce breaks these wings and the spiritual path. The promise made during marriage is sacred, given upon a holy book to the divine principle itself, not merely to a priest. Breaking this promise invokes the justice of Dharmarāja and the consequences of Yama. For those who mutually choose a celibate spiritual path while honoring their bond, the way to heaven remains open. The ceremonial fire of yajña, using pure substances like guggul, aligns the couple on the dharmic path. Similarly, the guru-disciple relationship through dīkṣā is a sacred bond not to be abandoned. One must remain faithful to one's spiritual master as to one's mother. "Husband and wife, having already walked their path in this life, will reunite through their astral bodies in another part of the universe." "A bird cannot fly without wings. When you have married once... It means broken wings, broken legs, a broken heart. That is not your path." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand
Pollution
6:40 - 7:41 (61 min)
Recorded on
The five sheaths, from the physical to the bliss body, define our being and are shaped by our nourishment. The physical sheath, annamaya kośa, is formed from food. The energy sheath, prāṇamaya kośa, arises from that nourishment. The mental, wisdom, and bliss sheaths follow sequentially. What you consume determines your energy, mind, knowledge, and ultimate state. Modern habits have corrupted this natural order, replacing pure, sāttvic nourishment with harmful substances and actions, leading to disease and mental disturbance. A pure diet creates pure energy and a serene mind, guiding one toward true happiness. The path is obstructed by base desires and endless argument, which must be surrendered through attentive listening to divine guidance. "Jaisā khāī annā, vaisā rahe man. What kind of nourishment or food you eat, like that will be your mind." "Your nourishment, your energy, then your mentality, the mind." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Yoga and the creation
10:15 - 11:43 (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
The wisdom of Chakras
11:50 - 13:12 (82 min)
Recorded on
The mudrā of joining the index finger and thumb symbolizes the union of the individual soul and the supreme consciousness. This gesture brings peace and relieves mental restlessness. Research in European hospitals and rehabilitation centers shows it provides relief. The three remaining fingers represent the three guṇas: purity, restlessness, and inertia. One must rise above these qualities. The best meditation posture is where one feels comfortable, as liberation comes from knowledge and humility, not physical form. Daily practice should begin with positive words to set a harmonious tone, affecting the body's energy centers. Physical ailments often stem from unresolved tension and negative emotions stored in the chakras. Do not dwell on the past or worry about the future. Maintain awareness and relaxation. Anger, jealousy, and greed are obstacles that disturb the energy centers and must be released through practice and right understanding. "Lead me from unreality to reality. Lead us from darkness to light." "The past is gone. You cannot catch the past, even by riding a horse." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand
We have to become one
13:20 - 14:54 (94 min)
Recorded on
The subject is detachment and the true Self. The soul seeks to merge into oneness with the Supreme, like space containing all things. This unity is eternal but difficult, as it requires releasing all attachment. Attachment to wealth, body, and relationships creates conditions and suffering. Renunciation is challenging. One must break attachment to join with God. Nothing belongs to you—not body, thoughts, or intellect. Only the soul is eternal. When the soul departs, no one accompanies it. We must move beyond duality and concepts of "mine" to realize the true Self as boundless consciousness. This is not a mental understanding but a state of being. "I am neither the mind, intellect, nor the elements. I am that eternal blissful consciousness." "There is only one God. The duality we perceive is a human creation."

Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (3/9)
15:00 - 16:33 (93 min)
Recorded on
A guided yoga practice integrates movement, breath, and awareness. Begin by feeling the body's contact with the floor, focusing on the spine. Proceed through a sequence of postures, coordinating each motion with the breath. Maintain awareness of specific body parts, such as the ankles during leg circles or the shoulder blades during twists. The practice includes variations of poses like spinal twists, leg raises, and forward bends. Breath observation is central; feel the inhalation moving from stomach to throat and the exhalation reversing this path. Conclude with prāṇāyāma and mantra repetition, emphasizing presence and the relaxation of the body and mind. "Try to feel your inhalation moving from your stomach to your throat, and your exhalation moving from your throat to your stomach." "Remain aware of your motion. Continue making large circles, and slowly finish." Filming location: Umag, Croatia
Hatha Yoga is in every kind of Yoga
16:35 - 16:58 (23 min)
Recorded on
Haṭha Yoga is the essential, foundational path encompassing all others. You cannot proceed without Haṭha Yoga. Bhakti Yoga is also Haṭha Yoga inside, for you must maintain unwavering devotion despite emotional waves. Most devotion is selfish and unstable, rising and falling with desires. True devotion must grow constantly, like an airplane ascending smoothly from the runway. It is a test of purity and constancy. The story of the crow and swan illustrates this: the noisy, changeable crow represents fickle devotion, while the silent, soaring swan represents steady ascent. Real devotion requires a pure heart and readiness to surrender completely. The tale of the young girl Karmabai demonstrates this forceful love: she insisted the deity eat her offering, and through her unwavering conviction, it did. Karma Yoga is similarly challenging. Thus, all paths are included within Haṭha Yoga. "Bhakti yoga cannot be successful without haṭha yoga. And then it must be what we call the real devotion." "God needs that kind of love... it is the love that is the oneness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā: Purification of the Intestine and Stomach
17:00 - 17:40 (40 min)
Recorded on
This lecture details the Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā purification techniques. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the cleansing of the entire intestine using warm, lightly salted water, performed early in the morning on an empty stomach. It involves drinking water and performing specific movements and postures to guide the water through the system. This practice is beneficial for conditions like high blood pressure and digestive issues but is not advised for those under 15, individuals with active ulcers or hernias, or pregnant women. Preparation includes a light diet the prior evening. The process continues until the expelled water runs clear. A strict diet must follow for at least one week, avoiding alcohol, meat, fish, eggs, and raw foods. Kunjal Kriyā is the cleansing of the stomach, performed after Śaṅkha Prakṣālana by drinking unsalted water to the point of fullness and then voluntarily expelling it. This practice helps purify the stomach and can aid those with bronchial asthma. The session concludes with rest and a meal of specially prepared kicharī. "The best time to do Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is in March, the beginning of September, the end of May, and before the winter." "After Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, you have to keep a diet for at least, strictly, seven days, one week, and up to one month." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga in Daily Life is a system for holistic well-being and global harmony. It is practiced worldwide for physical, social, mental, and spiritual health. The organization engages in extensive humanitarian work locally, nationally, and internationally. It supports diverse communities, from those with special needs to multicultural events. International projects address crises like water scarcity and education for the poor. The work is rooted in principles of peace, tolerance, and interfaith dialogue. Lasting peace requires compassion, respect for all cultures, and recognition of our interconnectedness. "War arises out of greed for power or difference in religious beliefs. But no matter on what side of the wall someone dies, remember that a member of our human society has lost their life." "Peace requires peace within the human heart. Peace also requires compassion, a sense of connectedness with other humans and with other species." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Understand your body
18:30 - 19:48 (78 min)
Recorded on
Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. Bad inspirations are coming from outside, we should solve certain life-problems. We are happier if we have less property. Reach people are just taking care of the money, they are not using it in a good way. Educate our children free, by respecting all of our bodies. Try to study and understand the skin in order to understand life more and reach higher consciousness. We are taking too many artificial things. Touching therapy is good to remove tensions from the body and from the mind.
Make a path through the forest
18:30 - 19:21 (51 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from weekend Yoga Seminar in Nadlac, Romania. Prana is stronger than the physical body. There are always problems in daily life. Partners are together for a period of time then conflicts arise - that is similar to spiritual life. We need a clear path, a sattvic (pure) life, and have to make this path through the forest. Just reading does not help us. We should change ourself inside, otherwise, time is lost. The realisation of Atma Gyana (Self-knowledge) takes more time.
Follow the words of the Guru
19:25 - 20:00 (35 min)
Recorded on
The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra is a tool for liberation from attachment and fear of death. Chant it daily, focusing awareness through the body's energy centers. It seeks a painless separation from the body, like a ripe fruit detaching from its vine. We are deeply attached to this body, acting from fear, which is a necessary protection for creation's balance. Yet, the soul leaves all pain behind at death. Our life is a transient journey, often spent earning only to spend on the body's upkeep. The stated goal is to reach the infinite, though many fear its emptiness. Spiritual practices like mantras are questioned if they do not reduce attachment. What is often sought is mere wellness, a selfish comfort equated with laziness, not the austerity of true practice. The negative qualities within us may flee from the Guru's word, but complete, permanent removal is doubted, as stories illustrate our inability to fully surrender when tested. The practice often remains superficial. "O Lord, just as a ripe melon or a cucumber separates from the vine without any suffering, so too, O Lord God, let me be liberated from this world." "But are you sure that from Guru Vakya you will forever remove these things? No, no." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Believe
21:30 - 22:49 (79 min)
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
The ancient science of Yoga
22:55 - 0:09 (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
