Pranayama and the five bodies
0:40 - 1:31 (51 min)
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."

The Soul and the Guru
1:35 - 2:18 (43 min)
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.
The Essence of Prasāda
2:25 - 2:55 (30 min)
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."

Around the world - YIDL at the Budapest Vegetarian Festival 2011
3:10 - 3:15 (5 min)
Yoga in Everyday Life is a system of practice for daily living. We demonstrate its aspects at events like the Vegetarian Festival. The practice involves paying attention to bodily sensations, which connects you to vitality carried by circulation and prāṇa. The system offers recommendations, with a vegetarian lifestyle being foremost. It is not enough to merely be vegetarian; one must also move, exercise, practice prāṇāyāma, and relax. This philosophy aims first for good health, suggesting many troubles originate from the stomach and the sense of taste. Managing this is possible through the master yoga system. Beyond physical benefits, the philosophy makes life easier, providing opportunity to find oneself and ultimately reach the Self of God, Paramātmā.
"Among these, the foremost is to maintain a vegetarian lifestyle."
"He can deal with everything if he is involved in the master yoga system."

How to get freedom
3:20 - 4:22 (62 min)
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."

Protect Yourself, Keep Discipline
4:30 - 5:06 (36 min)
Morning Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Try to eat organic food, as far as possible. The main problem in the world is pollution. It is very hard to protect ourselves. Human life is an opportunity, it is not certain that you will get it again.
Build your intellect supportive
5:15 - 6:31 (76 min)
A clear aim is essential to prevent the intellect from becoming a destructive distraction. Without a definite purpose, the mind wavers among endless possibilities, changing direction with every new suggestion. This lack of clarity makes one susceptible to external influences and gossip, which act like poison, spoiling spiritual practice as lemon curdles milk. Negative talk and jealousy introduce destructive thoughts that can damage years of spiritual effort. One must therefore cultivate an intensive, unwavering aim and avoid all sources of negative influence. Protect your consciousness from harmful information that creates doubt and disturbs your peace. Spiritual progress requires guarding the mind and maintaining humility, allowing the intellect to become a supportive tool rather than an obstacle.
"Your aim must be very clear, intensive, and good. Nothing should be able to change you."
"One stupid thought, one stupid person, can destroy all your spiritual sādhanā."

Thinking of Gurudev
7:15 - 7:38 (23 min)
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."

The ancient science of Yoga
7:45 - 8:59 (74 min)
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."

Prana is balancing our being
10:00 - 11:09 (69 min)
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."

Agya Chakra
11:15 - 12:27 (72 min)
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."

Shiva and the Chakras
13:55 - 15:20 (85 min)
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.

We are all born from Shiva
15:25 - 15:56 (31 min)
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."

A guided session integrates mantra, meditation, and āsana for holistic practice. Begin by sitting comfortably and chanting the Gāyatrī Mantra to greet the inner and outer light. Relax the entire body systematically, from forehead to legs. Observe the natural breath, receiving fresh prāṇa and releasing stress. Concentrate on the mantra, observing thoughts without attachment. Conclude the meditation with gratitude and conscious breathing. Perform a series of āsanas including Ānanda Āsana, Pavanmuktāsana, and Sumeru Āsana to stretch and strengthen the body. These postures work on the spine, limbs, and core, renewing energy. Practice prāṇāyāma to regulate breath flow, followed by final chants.

Life of the Saints
17:50 - 18:43 (53 min)
The path requires grace and self-effort, and we remember the masters. Incarnations and human-born beings exist; the latter find Self-realization difficult. We worship the entire being of that supreme Ātmā. They lived through nature's conditions, yet their consciousness remained untouchable. Liberation is not achieved quickly; karma constantly follows like the breath. Final salvation may come at life's last second. A touch from the Sadguru can bring liberation in an instant, yet karmas may return with the next breath. Divine beings feel and act as we do but remain untouchable. All must navigate life's stages with desire and pride. The Guru's grace is essential for the highest knowledge. One must light the flame from another flame. Lead a normal life but care for your inner instrument. Do not hurry; work on yourself. You have received your path; proceed upon it faithfully.
"Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ."

Success in Yoga
18:30 - 19:45 (75 min)
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."

Resonance is God
18:50 - 19:46 (56 min)
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."

Return back to happiness
20:45 - 21:37 (52 min)
Sādhana, or spiritual practice, rests on two pillars: the changeable physical practice and the permanent spiritual practice. Our physical practice must adapt to our changing age and condition. While yoga āsanas like śīrṣāsana benefit everyone by improving circulation and health, the ultimate goal is not mere longevity but a contented life. Modern life generates stress and endless desire, which destroys contentment. Accumulating possessions only multiplies sorrows. True happiness, or sukha, is found not in external things but in inner śāntoṣa, or contentment. This contentment is cultivated through steady spiritual practice, primarily mantra. Your mantra is the unwavering pillar that purifies consciousness and leads to perfection, regardless of your beliefs. Do not abandon this practice, for it protects you and brings peace. The physical practice supports the body, but the spiritual practice of mantra and devotion is the essential, unchanging path.
"Śāntoṣī nārśada sukhi, who is always content, is always happy."
"As many things we have, that many sorrows we have."

You can learn from different masters but can have only one Guru. Do not expect miracles.
The Seeker and the Many Wells
23:15 - 0:12 (57 min)
The spiritual path requires steadfast dedication to a single practice, not seeking many masters or powers. A seeker repeatedly left masters, feeling he gained nothing from years of service, only to grow old and bitter. He returned to his first master to complain. The master then had him dig a new well each day for a week, only to refill them, illustrating his error: digging many shallow wells yields no water, just as changing paths yields no realization. True achievement comes from deepening one practice. Siddhis and powers are a form of illusion that can inflate the ego and trap the practitioner. Even great beings endured hardships. Final self-realization is precarious, as latent impurities can surface until the last moment of life.
"‘If you had dug only at one place, water would have come.’ Similarly, you were wondering about this master and that master... if you have stayed so many years in one place and done your sādhanās, today you will be the wise one."
"Māyā is a great cheater! ... Siddhi is a māyā for the practitioners. Why? Because when you get some kind of miracles, then your ego comes."
