The spiritual lineage
0:15 - 1:16 (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
All is the creation of God
1:20 - 2:22 (62 min)
Recorded on
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
Hatha Yoga is in every kind of Yoga
2:30 - 2:53 (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

Being a human
3:45 - 4:16 (31 min)
Recorded on
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
Do not eat animals
4:20 - 5:11 (51 min)
Recorded on
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.
The attributes of the Guru
5:55 - 6:54 (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
Meditation is the key
7:00 - 7:59 (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

The evolution of the Universe
8:45 - 9:36 (51 min)
Recorded on
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
Pollution
9:00 - 10:01 (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
Merge into the ocean of immortality
9:40 - 10:30 (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.
Karma and koshas
10:35 - 11:31 (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
What is God?
11:35 - 12:33 (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

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Cherkasy, Ukraine. Every human has an individual choice. We have to come to our destination on our own. The Soul is searching for the destination. Meditation comes from itself. When you meditate, you are one with yourself. The dream is your reality, to know the moment of falling asleep is the first step in meditation. Practicing meditation with Vishwaguruji.
The Viśuddhi Cakra and the Journey of Consciousness
13:40 - 14:26 (46 min)
Recorded on
The Viśuddhi Cakra is a center of energy affecting body, mind, and consciousness. Action and reaction form karma, binding beings in a cycle. Energy centers begin from the earth, a living planet. The highest reality is space, consciousness, and resonance—the one manifesting as all creation. Beings are cells of that universal body. Advanced yogis navigate consciousness through a tunnel-like path along the spinal column, where dormant powers reside. These yogis can access different levels of awareness and worlds. Samādhi is the highest consciousness, with and without seed. Practice requires singular focus to avoid becoming lost. Karma is individual; a story illustrates how devotion can purify past actions. Awakening the chakras' power fulfills wishes. "Ekohaṁ bahuśyāmī. I am only one... I am going to manifest into many, many creatures." "Manvā dhire dhire chal, gagana garā imānvā dhire dhire chāl... Oh my mind, go slowly, slowly towards the home in the sky." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada
The fire element
14:30 - 15:21 (51 min)
Recorded on
The fire element is crucial for spiritual and physical health. Fire represents both divine light and destructive forces within us. The light of wisdom brings peace, harmony, and positive thoughts, creating a beautiful spiritual atmosphere. Without this light, darkness and ignorance lead to depression and blaming others. Anger is a negative fire that burns consciousness, and modern burnout stems from this inner pressure. Various sacred fires exist: the crematorium's fire, the altar's divine light, and ceremonial fires for foundations, housewarmings, and marriages. These Agni rituals establish harmony; neglecting them invites discord. Digestive fire, jāṭharāgni, governs physical health and temperature. All illness begins in the elemental space. Maintaining the five elements through yogic principles is essential for good health, recognizing God in all things. "Do not do any mistakes. For example, you drink poison and think, 'Afterwards, I will do good things.' But after this poison, it has killed you already." "When you give a donation, it is not yours anymore. And if you give, and then you are giving some commentary, then you are giving good things, it is not anymore valid for your good." Filming location: UK
Sound can guide us
15:25 - 16:21 (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
The Vedas
16:25 - 17:10 (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
We have to become one
16:30 - 18:04 (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."

What have you done for others?
17:15 - 18:00 (45 min)
Recorded on
Lecture by Sadhvi Shanti from Summer Yoga Camp in Vep, Hungary. We are climbing to the top of the mountain step by step. To follow the path is very important. At the end of your life, God will ask: "what have you done for others?" There are many things in nature that we can use for our spiritual development. The tree is always ready to accept.
Preserving good health
18:05 - 18:50 (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

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Cherkasy Ashram, Ukraine. We have many duties in the world. It's important to give the children culture and a good education. They should not go into bad society, they should become wise. One day the soul will leave behind the physical body. The karma and destiny will go with us. We are searching for the Master today. You can learn from different masters but can have only one Guru. Do not expect miracles.
