The origin of Yoga
0:00 - 1:07 (67 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. It is the ancient principle of balance between consciousness and space, which is the true yoga beyond mere exercise. Creation began from the resonance of Oṁ, manifesting light and Śiva, from whom all multiplicity arises. Life is sustained by the elemental fire of hunger, where life consumes life. Humans, distinct among 8.4 million creatures, possess intellect and are bound by karma; every action yields a reaction, perpetuating the cycle of birth and death. The purpose is to transcend this cycle through righteous action, harming none, thereby enlightening the soul to unite with the cosmic Self. For the body, practice gentle postures and breath daily to ensure health and awaken inner energy. Consistent practice is essential, as time can be allocated from one's day for this vital discipline. "Yoga is a science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul." "Every action has behind it a reaction, and when you take the reaction, it will be again an action." Filming location: Romania
How to control the problems
1:15 - 2:23 (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
Sri Alakhpuriji and the Himalayas
2:30 - 2:58 (28 min)
Recorded on
The Earth is a living, divine creation designed in perfect balance. Human activity disrupts this balance through mining, deforestation, and construction. The Himalayas are a young and holy mountain range, the abode of great saints and the manifestation of divinity. The saint Ālakpurījī embodies Śiva in the Himalayas, where his disciples and the river Alaknandā carry his vibration. One purifies the inner self through pure thought, nourishment, and behavior to merge with the divine. All souls ultimately return to the source. "Our Earth is a living planet, a Living Earth." "You are not a Hungarian. If you are Hungarian, okay, and that Hungarian also is not all." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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
Shakti is everywhere
4:21 - 5:05 (44 min)
Recorded on
The unity of Śiva and Śakti is the non-dual foundation of creation and spiritual practice. The entire world is one family under one divine source. Śiva is Svayaṃbhu, the self-manifested source from the five elements, and the author of yoga. Śakti is the universal power or energy present in all things, not a gender. Every person contains this essence. Two fundamental powers exist from creation: Daivī Śakti, the divine power of protection and love, and Āsurī Śakti, the power of ignorance, hate, and cruelty. Darkness is removed by igniting the inner light of knowledge. All dualities in the body, like the two hemispheres of the brain or the two eyes, reflect this united energy. Through consistent practice and willpower, one cultivates the divine power to heal and achieve enlightenment. "Śiva is the one who is called Svayaṃbhu. Svayaṃbhū means no one has created him—neither mother nor father." "Darkness will not go, but we just make a little light within, in no time, darkness is gone." Filming location: Slovakia

Success in Yoga
7:45 - 9:00 (75 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a lifelong journey requiring correct practice and a true master, not mere temporary physical exercise. Śiva is the primordial source, the consciousness that is the entire universe. He manifested alone, then created Viṣṇu and Brahmā. All three functions—creation, protection, liberation—reside in Śiva. We are that one consciousness temporarily in bodies. Our path is determined by our choices and associations. We must follow the true master in an authentic lineage to ascend; otherwise, we are pulled down by desire and bad company. The chakras map this journey from base consciousness to liberation. "Yoga is a lifelong journey." "A real Satguru is one who has left the body; only then is he a Satguru."

The qualities of Vishuddhi Chakra
9:05 - 10:25 (80 min)
Recorded on
Live webcast with Vishwaguruji from Brisbane Ashram, Australia. Awakening of the Kundalini does not take place on the physical level. It means the awakening of consciousness. We are going to become one with all, like different forms of water are in oneness in the ocean. Vishwaguruji explains the ancient text about churning of the ocean by Devas and Ashuras. Sometimes we catch something nice, but there could be negative energy hidden in it, like greed. Vishuddhi Chakra and thyroid problems are often connected with negative thinking.
Yoga and the creation
10:30 - 11:58 (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
Follow the words of Gurudev
12:05 - 13:22 (77 min)
Recorded on
The path requires dissolving ego through genuine service to attain self-knowledge. Ego is the primary obstacle for any seeker. Without renouncing pride and anger, spiritual titles are meaningless. A story illustrates this: a learned scholar visited a sage, boasting of his knowledge of all yogas. The sage asked if he knew the yoga of service, such as cleaning a sick person's pot. The scholar had not. True service is the practical yoga that erodes ego. Another tale tells of a royal disciple whose guru dressed him finely daily, causing jealousy among other disciples. When the group encountered a filthy ditch, only this disciple lay down as a bridge for his guru to cross. The guru revealed the lesson: the finely dressed disciple did not hesitate to serve, while others worried only for their own robes. The guru's command is the sole means to liberation. "Swamiji, you gave me sannyās. You must respect my orange dress." "Yes, I respect the orange dress, not your ego." "Gurudev, I will be thine. Devotees will come and devotees will go, but I will be thine." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Make a path through the forest
13:25 - 14:16 (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.

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
Color me into Your color
14:20 - 15:02 (42 min)
Recorded on
This final evening reflects on the journey within the coach of the body. We celebrated Guru Pūrṇimā and held Kriyā Yoga initiations. The destination is one, though paths differ. All scriptural knowledge exists within you. The human body contains all worlds and suns; self-realization is an inner search. Theory without practice is insufficient; understanding must change your inner self. Early life should be for learning alone, free from desires and distractions. This is the stage of Brahmacarya, where one's focus is on the Supreme. Modern distractions, like certain toys or fearful experiences in childhood, can shape consciousness negatively. Life's stages traditionally progress from student to householder to retiree, with dispassion being key for renunciation. The inner instruments of the body produce sacred sound, Nāda, leading to Brahman. "All is visible in this coach of the human body." "Tons of theory is nothing compared to a gram of practice."

AUM and Chakras
18:50 - 19:55 (65 min)
Recorded on
The resonance of OM and the balance of the nāḍīs govern health and consciousness. The body is a system of 72,000 nerves, centered on three primary channels: the left, the right, and the central Suṣumṇā. The left nostril, or moon channel, governs emotion and change, influenced by lunar tides. The right nostril, or sun channel, represents steady consciousness and solar fire. Their alternating flow every 14 minutes balances the hemispheres and glands. Prāṇāyāma purifies these channels. Techniques like Nāḍī Śodhana involve alternate-nostril breathing to cleanse the nervous system indirectly through lung and blood purification, not by forcing air into nerves. Chanting OM, with its four sounds originating from the navel, creates resonance that heals internal organs. Physical practice must begin with gentle body warming to prepare the joints and circulation, not with advanced postures. Headaches are addressed through hydration and postures like forward bends to increase cranial blood flow. Breath exercises like Bhastrikā and Kapālabhāti cleanse the head and remove tension. Ultimately, these practices relax all nāḍīs, dissolve stress, and restore natural health. "The left nostril is the moon. The principle of the moon is water, and the principle of the water is emotion." "We cannot put the air in our nerves, but it goes through the purification of our lungs, our oxygen."

Glimpse of Kundalini
21:10 - 22:04 (54 min)
Recorded on
The soul is one, not many. All beings and vegetation possess this single life force. We exist within five layered bodies, or kośas, made from the five elements. At death, these elements separate and return to their source; the soul does not die but transitions. Our individual consciousness, the jīvātmā, resides within these layers. Through purification via prāṇāyāma and meditation, we shed negative karma and qualities to merge with the cosmic consciousness, which is liberation. The chakra system maps subtle energy points in the body, symbolizing this journey. Practices like earthing and avoiding intoxicants balance these energies for health and spiritual progress. Ultimately, all distinctions are illusions; we are a single consciousness. "In reality, it is only one soul." "Your body will not die... the five elements... are becoming one again."

The Purpose of Human Life
22:10 - 22:59 (49 min)
Recorded on
Chakras are centers within us, akin to tiny points where everything exists. We call them lotuses, the king of flowers, which grow in muddy water and open at dawn during Brahma Muhurta. This pre-sunrise hour is pure, ideal for spiritual practice and study, as consciousness is gentle and unclouded by the day's dust. Each chakra is a lotus within the body, its petals unfolding light and energy to bring consciousness into your being. With age, like a lotus that cannot fully close, we may lose strength. Yoga's practices—postures, breath, and meditation—help restore vitality. Modern life, with chemical food and manipulated seeds, diminishes our natural energy and health. Chakras exist throughout the body, from feet to head, depicted with lotus petals. Their purpose is purification, rising above past karma like a lotus untouched by dirty water. Humans possess these centers for awakening consciousness to the cosmic, unlike animals. We are born not for hatred but to merge with the divine. Our soul, carrying its karma, is like water that evaporates and rains, eventually returning to the ocean of cosmic self. Good and bad karma must be balanced and left behind through good works and the burdens taken by others. Each chakra holds wisdom and symbols, like the elephant Ganesha, representing essential elements for health. Awakening comes through dedicated practice and meditation, which allows consciousness to expand and contract, moving toward liberation. "Within that point, everything exists; we are inside it." "Our soul, our life, our individuality, our destiny is with us." Filming location: Sunshine Coast, Australia
Sri Alakh Puriji and Kalidas
23:05 - 23:53 (48 min)
Recorded on
Our lineage is rooted in Śiva, connecting us through stories that convey spiritual truths. Every saint has a lineage. Our seat traces back to the Himalayas and the kingdom of Alak Purī. A queen vowed her children would attain liberation. She taught her last son, Alarka, both kingship and spiritual knowledge. Before departing for the forest, she gave him a ring inscribed with the message: "This will not remain." This teaches that all conditions, joy or sorrow, are transient. Another story tells of the poet Kālidāsa. A shepherd, through a clever ruse, married a learned princess. Her kick awakened his latent wisdom. He became a great scholar, devoted to the Divine Mother Kālī, and wrote profound works. His poem Meghadūta involves a messenger using clouds to send words to his wife. Kubera, the treasurer, dwelled in Alakpurī. A servant, cursed to separation, sent messages via clouds. Our paramparā flows from these Himalayan roots: Alakpurījī, Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and forward. We are united in this divinity. "This will not remain." "Without Brahma and Māyā, nothing can happen." Filming location: London, UK
