Preserving good health
0:20 - 1:05 (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: Cherkasy, Ukraine
Pranayama and the five bodies
1:10 - 2:01 (51 min)
Recorded on
Health is founded on proper yoga practice, not mere postures. Yoga in Daily Life is a scientific system for physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. Many have been cured of disease through correct sādhanā. The most foolish approach is to begin with strenuous postures alone; health must be cultivated naturally. The body is sustained by five elements and composed of five sheaths. The first sheath is the physical body, nourished by food. The second is the energy body, sustained by fresh air and fresh, vital food. Dead, reheated food lacks prāṇa and creates illness. The third sheath is the mind, which cannot be killed because desire cannot be killed. Hope and longing are also immortal. Running after desires is like chasing a mirage; it destroys life. What is destined will come without frantic pursuit. Practice should be purposeful. Prāṇāyāma is more powerful than āsanas, but one must know which technique is for which benefit. "The first happiness is a healthy body." "Your mind will never die. Your desire will not die, and your mind also will not die." Filming location: Fiji Islands
The fire element
2:05 - 2:56 (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: Cherkasy, Ukraine
Around the world - Yoga camp for Kids Strilky
3:00 - 3:04 (4 min)
Recorded on
We are identifying a place and performing a symbolic action with a cup. The place is depicted in a picture and contains a whirlpool in a park corner and a pond. A brightly painted cup is there, meant to stand upon a tree stump behind the pond. The action involves using group-colored pencils to tie the cup, but not to bind it completely, as it is already secured. The final instruction is to transform these pencils into the pencils of our group's boats. "It is in the picture. And did you recognize me? Yes, indeed." "First, we must tie it with pencils in the colors of our group. Must we bind it completely? No." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Around the world - Yoga against backpain SLO
3:10 - 3:46 (36 min)
Recorded on
The spine's structure, function, and care through yoga are examined. The spine consists of 24 vertebrae forming the axial skeleton, protecting the spinal cord. Muscles and ligaments support posture and movement. Pain arises from acute strain or chronic issues like poor alignment and disc damage. Daily postures, such as prolonged sitting, create imbalance and excessive load, particularly on the lower lumbar vertebrae. Proper biomechanics and the hydraulic function of intervertebral discs are crucial for distributing force. A brief daily yoga practice can alleviate these issues. Gentle stretching, twisting, and strengthening āsanas, performed with awareness, relieve tension, mobilize the spine, and improve overall energy. Consistency in a short morning routine yields significant benefit. "The spinal cord is the main highway in our body for nerve signals." "Chronic pains are more complex. They last for months or even years." Filming location: Slovenia
The Essence of Prasāda
3:50 - 4:20 (30 min)
Recorded on
Prasāda is divine essence, not mere substance. It signifies purity and sanctity, carrying spiritual energy. Anything sanctified becomes prasāda, from food to cloth. Its power lies in quality, not quantity. Consuming prasāda immediately influences the mind with sāttvic thoughts. Students should take prasāda before studies for success. The tilak applied on the forehead is a ceremony opening the third eye, representing the three times and realms. It marks respect and kingship. Rice, as an ancient grain, and milk, representing purity, are key symbols in prasāda. A blessing from elders is also prasāda. Food must be cooked as prasāda, with mindful preparation and mantras. Prasāda is a superpower that grants protection and removes fear. It must be respected and never wasted. All offerings are ultimately to Brahman, the complete source from which everything arises. "Prasāda is not measured in kilos; it can be a quarter of a single grain of rice. It is not about quantity but quality." "When you eat prasāda, nothing bad will happen. It will give you better memory, and you will have no fear." Filming location: Fiji Islands

Gurupurnima Blessing
5:05 - 5:12 (7 min)
Recorded on
The Guru is the light dispelling darkness, the movement from ignorance to knowledge. In this world, one cannot survive without a Guru, which is any source of knowledge, including learning to cook. Today, many cannot cook at home. Educated women, who have the capacity to bring peace, sometimes develop arrogance, refusing to cook due to ego, leading to reliance on restaurants. The food from a mother, who nourishes a child from the womb, is divine prasad. One must learn to cook at home themselves. Cooking is a master, and you must become that master and teach your children. Do not put children in nursery school and do not get food from restaurants. Cook yourself; it will be cheap and good. "‘Gu’ is darkness, and ‘Ru’ is the light. It is that light which dispels darkness." "The mother who gives nutrition to the baby from inside the womb... that mother’s food is divine food, it is prasād."

Everything is in your hands
5:15 - 5:50 (35 min)
Recorded on
The initiation of eight sannyāsīs was a highlight. The Master decides readiness; these were not easy individuals, each a long effort to guide. One is profoundly honest, immediately embodying the role. Another prepared for decades through hardship. Three were from Australia, one from Israel, and one Indian who left too quickly. The final one is a devoted and humble soul. Your spiritual progress is ultimately in your own hands. Teachers and masters can only support you; the decisive action is yours. A story illustrates this: disciples, jealous of their Master, trap a bird and ask if it is alive or dead. The Master replies its fate is in their hands. Your liberation, like the bird's life, depends on your decisions. Do not delay in good actions. Regarding dress, disciples should wear white; sannyāsīs wear orange. Becoming a sannyāsī is serious, not a fashion; it helps carry the spiritual light but requires true readiness and independence. "Master, if you know everything, then tell us what is in my hand." "My son, whether this bird is alive or dead depends on your hands." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 180b
Thinking of Gurudev
5:55 - 6:18 (23 min)
Recorded on
Mahāsamādhi is not an absence but a change in the mode of presence. The physical form is a concentration of divine energy for easier communion. That energy is not bound by the body. The Guru's presence is activated by the devotee's call through love, prayer, and meditation. This principle operates now and will after Mahāsamādhi. The Guru incarnates due to the soul's call. Connection depends solely on the devotee's bhakti. Physical proximity is a convenience, not a necessity. "Whenever my devotees think on me, I will be present." "I am here because of the call of your soul." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Path of Meditation: From Action to Inner Peace
6:30 - 7:31 (61 min)
Recorded on
Meditation is the path from action to inner peace, divided into active and passive forms. Active meditation is selfless service, or Seva, which purifies consciousness and overcomes negative karma. Human life is given for this purification. Yet, service alone may not answer inner questions. For that, passive meditation is required. This means withdrawing from the external world to be with oneself. It is a technique to understand one's inner world and discover the unseen qualities that disturb others. One must learn humility and acceptance to make spiritual progress and find peace. Human life is precious, with the high aim of self-realization, avoiding the tragedy of dying without it. Different religions describe one God through different relations and names, but truth is one. "Active meditation has an effect on your consciousness, on your mind, and definitely on your soul. It is a means to come out of negative karma." "Passive meditation means to withdraw your senses and your thoughts from the external world and, for the time being, be with thyself."

How to get freedom
7:35 - 8:37 (62 min)
Recorded on
Jaya is a selfless blessing and victory over negative energy, bringing harmony and awakening the Maṇipūra Cakra through its resonant sound. We are all caught in the net of worldly illusion, prapañca, which is the endless cycle of problems and restlessness. To seek freedom, one must actively call for help, as illustrated by the person in a hole who must raise their hands while calling out. The Maṇipūra Cakra is the central energy hub, the seat of sound and the origin of our development, beginning at the navel in the womb. Its health is paramount; illness there, like cancer, is severe. Health comes from traditional knowledge: a supportive family, especially during pregnancy, and Āyurvedic cooking where food is medicine. Practices like Agniśar Kriyā and fasting protect this center. Ultimately, prāṇa and apāna meet at the Maṇipūra, awakening the Kuṇḍalinī energy for spiritual ascent. "Jaya means victory over negative energy, and victory for spirituality, for harmony, for peace, for brightness—everything." "The Maṇipūra Cakra is the center of our body, the center of the universe, the center of our consciousness, and our origin." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada
Prana is balancing our being
8:45 - 9:54 (69 min)
Recorded on
The Viśuddhi cakra is the center of knowledge and purification. Destiny is the past karma every creature carries, but humans possess the freedom to create new karma through action. Every action generates a reaction, shaping future births. Good deeds and spiritual qualities lead to a favorable human rebirth, potentially in a spiritual family. Spirituality transcends gender; the soul is identical in all beings. The mother is revered as the first divine principle, representing space, while the father represents consciousness. Yoga is the science of uniting awareness with consciousness, balancing the elements within. The soul's inherent light can be expanded through consistent practice like meditation. The human body contains a network of 72,000 nāḍīs, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā being primary. Iḍā, the moon channel, governs emotion and water; Piṅgalā, the sun channel, governs consciousness and fire. Their balance is vital. The power of the human brain is immense, evident in modern technology. Negative thoughts attack the thyroid gland at the Viśuddhi; purification comes through prāṇāyāma and balanced thinking. Sarasvatī is the goddess of knowledge and speech residing in the vocal cords. Mastery in any field requires dedicated practice and respect for the source of inspiration. Continuous spiritual practice dissolves negativity, bringing inner light. "Karma cannot forgive anyone, and time doesn't wait for anyone." "Yoga is that science, the principle of uniting, harmonizing, and balancing." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

We are all born from Shiva
11:15 - 11:46 (31 min)
Recorded on
Śiva is the supreme reality, encompassing truth, auspiciousness, and beauty. He is Mahādev, the God of Gods, beyond human titles like "Lord." Śiva is unborn and endless, the source from which all creation multiplies. He embodies perfect balance and innocent simplicity, known as Bholenāth. Śiva brought forth the science of yoga, which is union and happiness beyond duality. The entire universe is His manifestation; the oceans are likened to His breath. He is the principle of the guru, the creator and dissolver, maintaining all existence. Worship of Śiva, through simple abhiṣeka and mantras, offers protection and peace. "Śiva means the whole universe: Satyam, Śivam, Sundaram." "I am one, and now I will multiply." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Shiva and the Chakras
11:50 - 13:15 (85 min)
Recorded on
The master bestows the nectar of immortality, liberating one from the cycle of life and death. According to eternal law, the master takes form to revive those trapped in mortality. This gift of immortality and bliss is understood within. Without fortunate destiny, one cannot attain this connection. That link is found in human birth, granting freedom from bondage and making one liberated while still living. The true master constantly dwells without attachment, and the disciple bathes in that light daily. "Satguru Jari Pilai Mujiko." "Gurujī merā amara jārī le āyā." Filming location: Melbourne, Australia
Agya Chakra
13:20 - 14:32 (72 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, a divine blessing beyond imagination. The universe is endless space containing consciousness, united by the principle of yoga, which means balance, harmony, and unity. From the first divine wish of multiplication arose the sound Aum, from which all creation manifested as consciousness and matter. This planet, a living entity of five elements, hosts 8.4 million life forms. Humans were added as the sole creature endowed with intellect to realize the immortal Self and transcend the cycle where life consumes life. The human body, composed of the five elements, contains 72,000 energy channels and chakras. Three primary channels—Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna—govern emotion, intellect, and consciousness, meeting at the Ajna Chakra. Yoga practice, particularly through discipline and techniques like Pranayama, balances these energies, stills restless thoughts, and awakens higher consciousness. The aim is to realize the immortal Atman, which is beyond birth, death, and karma, and to awaken the inner wisdom. "Yoga means balance, harmony, and unity. These three are the main things in the universe." "Yogaś citta vṛtti nirodhaḥ: now your restless thoughts begin to disappear." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
The ancient science of Yoga
14:40 - 15:54 (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

Resonance is God
19:25 - 20:21 (56 min)
Recorded on
The human body is a network of prāṇa, nerves, and glands, best maintained through natural harmony. An anecdote tells of women painted gold who died because their skin could not breathe; this illustrates that our entire skin breathes prāṇa. Tight clothing like jeans restricts this flow. The body has 72,000 nerves, a network where blockages cause disease. Natural treatments from Prakṛti, unlike altered chemicals, heal without side effects by becoming one with the body. Marriage symbolizes a sacred merger, a knot or gland from which new life emerges, aligning with natural cycles. Lineage and tradition preserve this purity. Sound originates from the navel; conscious speech creates positive or negative vibrations affecting our nerves and organs. Practices like Vajrāsana activate the Vajra Nāḍī, promoting digestion and energy flow by awakening awareness in the body. "Prakṛti, the nature, is slowly, but this nature accepts our body. This will turn into our body, as our body." "Sound is sound, but which kind of sound? How does it appear? So from here, you still have control of the heart, and you still have control of the vocal cords." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand
