The attributes of the Guru
0:00 - 0:59 (59 min)
Recorded on
The true Guru is the principle of knowledge that dispels ignorance. The name Sanjeevani signifies a prayer for success. We begin by invoking Śrī Gaṇeśa, the remover of obstacles and protector. The Guru is defined by the mantra: Guru is Brahmā the creator, Viṣṇu the protector, and Śiva the liberator. "Gu" means darkness, "ru" means light; the Guru leads from darkness to light. This is not a physical form but the capacity for mastery, like a pilot or surgeon whose knowledge transforms their function. One must pray for the divine to speak through them as an instrument. The Guru creates knowledge within, protects from negativity, and liberates. Follow the Guru's instructions as a student pilot follows a co-pilot. Liberation ends the cycle of birth and death, determined by karma. The soul's destination is shaped by actions. The Guru is the embodiment of knowledge alone, beyond duality, like the sky. All beings seek the same bliss. The true Self within is the Guru; one must awaken to this knowledge. "Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Gurudevo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." "Brahmānandaṁ parama-sukhadam kevalaṁ jñāna-mūrtim, Dvandvātītaṁ gagana-sadṛśyaṁ tattvamasyādi-lakṣyam." Filming location: Alexandria, USA
Karma and koshas
1:05 - 2:01 (56 min)
Recorded on
The aim of human life is to realize the soul and return to God. The soul undergoes cycles of birth and death, experiencing the astral world and various forms of life, from vegetation to human birth. Human life is a difficult journey where one must navigate consequences, or karma, for all actions. The intellect is a powerful tool, but it must connect the brain to the heart. Causing suffering to any creature creates pain that returns. Life in all realms is challenging, and one must strive for liberation from this cycle. The physical body is the first sheath, the annamaya kośa, sustained by pure nourishment. The second sheath is the prāṇamaya kośa, the energy body vitalized by breath. "Do not go against the nature. Otherwise, you will have consequences." "When we create difficulties for someone, the pain will reflect to us, much more than that one is suffering." Filming location: Alexandria, USA
Do not eat animals
2:05 - 2:56 (51 min)

Evening program with Vishwaguruji in Vancouver, Canada. It is very rare for the soul to obtain a human body. We are destroying our planet; for our own comfort, we harm other creatures. Humans should not kill anyone and should not eat anyone. Ahimsa - non violence - is for the humans. Love and feed animals, do not eat them.
Around the world - Practice in Ukraine
3:00 - 3:50 (50 min)
Recorded on
Begin the practice of āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Close the eyes and attune to the practice. Scan and relax the entire body. Observe the complete yogic breath. The first āsana is Ānanda Āsana, the posture of relaxation. Lie down comfortably and consciously relax each part of the body. Physical relaxation leads to spiritual relaxation. This posture must be performed at the beginning and end of every session. Next, train in abdominal breathing by placing a hand on the abdomen and observing its movement. Conscious abdominal breathing leads to relaxation and improves circulation. Practice stretching the body by extending the limbs in rhythm with the breath. This releases accumulated tension. Perform head turns and twists while lying down to increase spinal mobility and harmonize the breath. Always observe the effect of each exercise. Move through shoulder exercises while standing to relax and strengthen the joints. Shift body weight from leg to leg to strengthen muscles and improve balance. Conclude by returning to Ānanda Āsana. Scan the body and observe the deepening relaxation. Gradually conclude the practice by moving the fingers and toes. Rise carefully, always moving from lying down through a transitional seated position. "Physical relaxation leads to spiritual relaxation." "Conscious abdominal breathing leads to physical and spiritual relaxation." Filming location: UK
Preserving good health
3:55 - 4:40 (45 min)
Recorded on
Health begins with the elements of space (Ākāśa) and air (Vāyu). Modern life, with refrigeration and processed foods, leads us to consume dead, out-of-season food lacking life energy, which causes illness. We exist within and are sustained by space; it is the fundamental emptiness within the body, like in nostrils or intestines, where there is no pain. This internal space requires the support of air. We inhale and exhale air, which purifies the body, yet we pollute it by living in sealed rooms and using pesticides. Illnesses enter through these polluted spaces and air. Purification is achieved through prāṇāyāma, conscious breathing that cleanses the entire body. Our skin also breathes, but we block its pores with oils and creams. To be healthy, we must eat fresh, seasonal food cooked at home, live in naturally ventilated spaces with earth-based materials, and regularly connect with the earth. Our artificial environments and habits are the true causes of disease. "If you put a dead body in a fridge and after some days, months, or years you bring it out, do you think it is alive? The soul is gone. Similarly, it doesn’t matter if it is a vegetable or anything else." "This air and space, these two, are the cause of illnesses. The space is not purposely becoming polluted. And air also doesn’t become polluted, but this is what we humans are doing." Filming location: UK
Hatha Yoga is in every kind of Yoga
4:45 - 5:08 (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
Merge into the ocean of immortality
6:35 - 7:25 (50 min)
Recorded on
Evening program with Vishwaguruji in Vancouver, Canada. Vishuddhi chakra is the highest point of the human consciousness. Lifelong practice is essential to awaken the supreme consciousness. As a human, we are very close to merging into the ocean of immortality. This ocean is Shiva, while bindu is the little drop of water. We are very rare people to go on a spiritual path.

Spiritual discipline guides one from ignorance to enlightenment. Human life is a rare opportunity among countless life forms. Animals possess innate discipline, but humans are given specific principles—conduct, thought, diet, and recreation—to cultivate goodness and occupy the mind positively. These rules, including fasting and observing holy days, were established by sages to prevent negative actions. Every action creates a corresponding reaction, good or bad. By following these disciplined observances, known as saṃskāras, one progresses spiritually. Without such discipline, one remains bound to the cycle of karma and rebirth. The goal is to become absorbed in the formless, eternal Brahman. "God knows everything, does He not? God knows what you will say, what you will do." "Where there is action, there will be reaction. Good action yields good reaction. Bad action yields bad reaction." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Sri Alakh Puriji and Kalidas
8:05 - 8:53 (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
You are the king
9:00 - 9:47 (47 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a mighty tree of oneness. Jñāna Yoga is its branches, the beauty of non-dual knowledge. Rāja Yoga is the trunk, the strength and discipline of mastery. Bhakti Yoga is the humble devotion of the branches, offering shelter and service. Karma Yoga is the roots, the selfless action that supports and nourishes the whole. The tree is the organization, the body, the spiritual company. Its greatest danger is internal decay. When its own members—like wood becoming an axe handle—join with a destructive force, they provide the strength for its fall. A Rāja Yogī must be eternally alert, observing with inner and outer eyes to maintain the health of the entire system. The king is the inner Self, governing the kingdom of the body and mind through discipline. All yogas are one. "Jñāna Yoga is the beauty of the branches. Rāja Yoga is the strength of the trunk of the tree." "Unfortunately, my own people joined with the axe as a handle, and they gave the strength to cut my soul."

Meditation is the key
11:35 - 12:34 (59 min)
Recorded on
Wellness is the harmonious balance of body, mind, and soul. Vāstu Śāstra aligns our environment with cosmic energy for harmony. Our being is composed of five layers, or kośas: the physical body of nourishment, the energy body, the mental body, the intellectual body, and the bliss body. The mind is a reflection of immense speed and power that cannot be controlled or killed; desire persists from cradle to grave. Yoga is the scientific practice to awaken awareness and achieve this balance. It requires daily morning practice in a small space with fresh air. Sound and vibration are foundational; our body is created from cosmic resonance. Specific sounds like "A," "U," and "M" correspond to energy centers, or chakras, and can release tension, heal glands like the thyroid, and purify the nervous system. Chanting "OM" integrates the five bodies and clears stress by directing vibration to the brain. "Your mind cannot be killed because your desire is still there." "Yoga is a science of body, mind, and soul." Filming location: New York, USA
What is God?
12:40 - 13:38 (58 min)
Recorded on
The divine is perceived as both formless and with form. The formless God, Nirākāra, is like the horizon or sky—everywhere yet unreachable. The personal God, Sākāra, has a form we can relate to, speak with, and worship. Scripture states both are valid, but for humanity, worship with form is easier as it allows for relationship and dialogue. Our human nature encompasses both aspects. We are advised to use our divine potential through proper practice, as our latent powers can lead us toward divinity or negativity. How we speak and act directly impacts our spiritual and physical well-being, as our energy flows through subtle centers. We must choose a path that awakens our higher consciousness. "both are good, Nirākāra and Sākāra, the formless and with form. But he said, for you... it is easier to worship in form." "you have a chance of being a human... you are divine, you are godly, but all is dormant." Filming location: USA

The culture of reverence sees divinity in all creation, making every day a sacred festival. Ancient India was a vast land with one original tradition. Its culture is rooted in nature, venerating the moon, sun, stars, animals, and elements like water and earth. The five elements—space, air, fire, water, earth—are the Pañcadevatā, five goddesses that sustain life. Disrespecting them brings illness. Our body and the world are made of these. We possess ten indriyas: five for knowledge and five for action. As we age, our capacity for action weakens, but our capacity for knowledge can grow. True wisdom balances intellectual knowledge with spiritual heart. A story illustrates this: a scientist mocks a meditator, questioning God's design of large fruit on small vines. A small berry falls on the scientist's head, and the yogi notes that if a large melon fell, it would be fatal, revealing a divine wisdom beyond dry intellect. Therefore, every day is a day of worship, a Guru Pūrṇimā, where we recognize the divine in everything. "Every day is a new day. Every day, someone has a birthday. And every day of the month has a particular event or festival." "Every day is a Guru Pūrṇimā... every day is the Dīvālī. Every seven days is a festival." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
The spiritual lineage
14:55 - 15:56 (61 min)
Recorded on
The spiritual lineage connects devotees to an ancient source of grace. A disciple met the master as a baby and received lifelong blessings, countering predictions of a short life and lack of education or wealth. The lineage extends back seven generations through the family. The source of the teachings is the immortal master Alakpuriji, who dwells in the Himalayas. Such perfected beings exist in subtle, causal bodies beyond the material world, serving as protectors. They can be perceived by pure hearts, as seen in lights over glaciers. The path requires sacrifice of attachment to enter the divine kingdom, as demonstrated by Yudhiṣṭhira's loyalty. The goal is liberation through this spotless, indescribable grace. "Tell me when you’re ready to leave this earth to come, I’ll call you." "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." Filming location: USA

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
The evolution of the Universe
16:50 - 17:41 (51 min)

Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, and soul, originating from the very beginning of endless cosmic cycles. It stems from the interplay between universal consciousness and space. The creator, Śiva, manifested from the primordial sound, or resonance, which holds the universe together. This resonance is in every cell, creating harmony. Yoga is not merely physical exercise but the pursuit of health, balance, and oneness. The human body is a microcosm of five elements and contains energy centers, or chakras, along subtle nerves. Our awareness and practices like prāṇāyāma, postures, and chanting purify these energies, address ailments from stored emotions, and align us with the cosmic dance of creation and dissolution, leading toward liberation. "Yoga is not just that physical exercise. We call it yoga because it must bring good health, balance, harmony, and oneness of body, mind, and soul." "From the end of the spinal column is the seat of Śiva and Gaṇeśa. Gaṇeśa is in the Mūlādhāra Cakra. Mūla means roots." Filming location: USA

Sound can guide us
21:25 - 22:21 (56 min)
Recorded on
Sound and its resonance, nāda, are a profound spiritual path. Sound and color generate immense energy affecting the body. Rāga means resonance, but also implies attachment and duality. This sound is Nāda Yoga. One must understand it; otherwise, it is merely noise. An instrument is holy and must be treated with great respect, like a delicate child. A group of musicians performed complex rāgas in a village, but all the farmers left, unable to understand. Only an old grandmother remained, crying. They thought she appreciated their music, but she cried because she believed they would die from a disease that killed her goats. Understanding requires an awakened heart. That endless, anāhat resonance alone can elevate consciousness. Mastering an instrument takes years of dedicated practice; the instrument becomes your guide. One must pray to Sarasvatī, the goddess of knowledge. Your own body is the primary instrument; care for your voice and vocal cords. True understanding is rare. "Who does not understand, then it’s okay—it is some kind of noise. But who can understand? And nāda—only when your heart awakens." "Your instrument is your guide, not you being a guide of the instrument. So, learn; otherwise, don’t humiliate the instrument." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
