We are all born from Shiva
0:10 - 0:41 (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
Pranayama and the five bodies
0:45 - 1:36 (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
Agya Chakra
1:40 - 2:52 (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
A Welcome Address on Peace and Yoga
3:00 - 3:07 (7 min)
Recorded on
Peace is humanity's deepest longing, achieved through inner transformation. Outer circumstances reflect our inner state; greed, jealousy, and hate destroy peace. We must be the change we wish to see, serving as examples. True peace harmonizes us physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. Yoga provides a practical path, developing inner peace through spiritual techniques. This inner peace then reflects outward into our families and the world through our words and actions. The teachings and lineage of our spiritual masters guide this work of selfless service and universal unity, inspiring efforts for global harmony. "Be the change you want to see." "One and all, and all in one." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
Around the world - YIDL at the Budapest Carfree Day
3:15 - 3:18 (3 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is practiced in the heart of the city on a car-free day. Our international system, Yoga in Daily Life, was founded by an Indian master and has been present here for over thirty years. We have a center that has continuously held classes from the same location. Today, we practiced with children of various ages. It is interesting to practice yoga on this normally busy avenue. The experience proves you can practice undisturbed even here; the curious onlookers inspire us. We welcome visitors to try this tomorrow. "It’s a very interesting experience that you can practice yoga even in such a place, and nothing really disturbs you." "Let them also try what it is like to exercise their right on one of Budapest’s busiest streets." Filming location: Budapest, Hungary
Protect Yourself, Keep Discipline
3:25 - 4:01 (36 min)
Recorded on
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.
Shiva and Parvati
4:05 - 4:40 (35 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Fiji. When their good karma is finishing in Heaven, devas ask God to come to the earth as humans - as great bhaktas. A story about how Shiva tried to give immortality to Parvati.
Thinking of Gurudev
4:45 - 5:08 (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
Awakening of muladhar
5:15 - 5:57 (42 min)
Recorded on
Chakras are energy centers where consciousness resides, defining character and problems. Your destiny (prārabdha) is created by past karma before your body forms. You control your present karma through action, speech, thought, and influence, but once acted upon, deeds become destiny governing future life and all current problems. The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root foundation of consciousness based on that karma. It is the earth element, colored red for energy and Mother Consciousness. Its awakening brings safety, wisdom, and pleasurable energy, not physical sensations. The chakra's symbols include a four-petaled lotus representing the four ways life enters the world, an elephant symbolizing wisdom and prosperity, an inverted triangle for energy flow, and a coiled snake representing past, present, and future karmas—the dormant Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Śiva (consciousness) and Śakti (nature) seek union here. Exercises like Bhujaṅgāsana and Śalabhāsana activate this chakra, strengthening the back and influencing the root center for physical and mental balance. "As long as you are not doing anything, it is still under your control." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means wisdom. You become very wise, you become self-confident."

The Essence of Prasāda
6:05 - 6:35 (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
Shiva and the Chakras
6:40 - 8:05 (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

The ancient science of Yoga
8:40 - 9:54 (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

AUM and Chakras
10:05 - 11:10 (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."

Prana is balancing our being
11:55 - 13:04 (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

Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (1/9)
16:00 - 17:37 (97 min)
Recorded on
A guided practice integrating meditation, yoga, and prāṇāyāma to cultivate awareness and inner harmony. Begin by relaxing the body and mind, aligning the posture. Follow the breath, using the mantra "So Ham" to synchronize with the inhalation and exhalation. Feel prāṇa entering and tensions releasing. Center awareness in the heart space, feeling it expand and relax, allowing peace and love to spread. After meditation, proceed to physical practice. Perform warm-up exercises and āsanas like Daṇḍāsana, focusing on straight posture and coordinated breathing. Practice sequences for the arms, shoulders, and feet with conscious movement. Advance to postures such as Marjari Āsana and Meruākaraṇāsana, maintaining balance and breathing deeply. Conclude with Kathā Praṇām and prāṇāyāma, specifically Nāḍī Śodhana, to purify the energy channels. Always maintain a straight back, relax the abdomen, and coordinate movement with breath. Finish by chanting Oṁ and grounding the awareness. "Feel how with every inhale you are taking in prāṇa, how your consciousness is becoming brighter and brighter, happier and more relaxed." "Keep your back straight and go down only to the level which your muscles can hold with your back straight." Filming location: Umag, Croatia
The fire element
17:45 - 18:36 (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

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Sydney, Australia
Return back to happiness
18:40 - 19:32 (52 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
The Seeker and the Many Wells
19:40 - 20:37 (57 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand
Merge into the ocean of immortality
20:45 - 21:35 (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.
Life of the Saints
21:40 - 22:33 (53 min)
Recorded on
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." "Jyot se jyot jagāvo. On every step of your life, light the light." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Resonance is God
22:40 - 23:36 (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
Ganesha
23:40 - 0:29 (49 min)
Recorded on
Today is the incarnation of Bhagavān Śrī Gaṇeśa. Gaṇeśa is the first God to be worshipped. He is like Bholenāth, fulfilling wishes. Gaṇeśa should not be taken merely as a physical form; it has many meanings. He is the foundation, balancing everything, called Mūlādhāra. The elephant symbolizes the seven trunks representing the seven essential bodily minerals, the saptadhātu. This is a balancing principle, not just a story for children. Ancient miracles, like cloning in Śiva's time, are beyond modern science. Gaṇeśa is the god of all Gaṇas. He is half animal and half deva. He wrote the Vedas telepathically for Vyāsa. Physical forms and statues are crucial so we do not forget; culture survives through saṃskāras. Therefore, Gaṇeśa should be remembered first in prayer. "Obey, obey, obey your Guru, then you will be successful." "One in all, all in one." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
