Shiva Tattva
1:10 - 1:44 (34 min)
Recorded on
The endless cycle of creation and dissolution guides the soul toward Śiva. Creation, Sṛṣṭi, and dissolution, Vilaya, repeat across Yugas. God incarnates in each age through Yogamāyā. Viṣṇu appears with symbols of blessing and destruction. The cycle cleans the field of existence before Śiva, the Svayambhū, manifests again. Vast scriptural knowledge was largely destroyed, yet an ocean remains. Theoretical knowledge is limited; practice is essential. Countless Yugas have passed. The Jīvātmā, the individual soul present in all life, is Śiva-tattva. This essence multiplies endlessly. Gods perform their duties in a reciprocal play. Through disciplined Sādhanā, especially mantra in Kali Yuga, one can overcome suffering. Earthly life, from womb to old age, is marked by difficulty and attachment, a Tapasyā. The aim is for the individual drop of Jīva to merge with the ocean of Śiva. Sustain life with duty and love, but seek Self-realization. Hold to your path, reject doubt, and use your inner light. Guide future generations on this path to end the cycle of rebirth. "Kali Yuga keval nām ādhāra, sumir sumir narhoi bhavapāra." "So this drop is the Jīva, Śivatattva. And the ocean is Śiva. When this drop falls into the ocean again, the Jīva becomes Śiva." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Difficulties
1:50 - 2:42 (52 min)
Recorded on
The human condition is defined by a unique and pervasive fear, stemming from our intellect and desires, which separates us from other creatures and creates our suffering. We declare ourselves the best creatures, yet we are the most fearful. Animals live without our anxieties; they do not consult astrology or design their homes. We asked God why He made humans superior, and He replied He never did—He made humans as protectors, but we have become destroyers. Our limitless desires breed endless fear. A bird will sit on a tiger but flees from a human, sensing our negative energy. We even distrust each other, relying on documents over personal vows, as in modern marriages. This fear is a form of tapas, a burning austerity. The three fires of suffering are adhibhautika (from other beings), adhidaivika (from divine forces or past karma), and adhyātmika (from within oneself). Our sins—anger, greed, pride—fuel these fires. To end them, we must disconnect from worldly attachments and connect to the Supreme. Chanting the mantra cleanses these three tapas and sins, leading to permanent, unmovable happiness. We must practice non-violence, mercy, and introspection. Read sacred texts to awaken this understanding and transform life. "I never said this. I did not declare." "Todo and jodo. Break and join."

We prepare two distinct meals for athletes. The first is whole wheat pasta with sauce and a green salad for endurance. The second is vegetables with fava beans and tofu for muscle building. Both include a milkshake. For athletes, avoid sugar; use raisins or dried fruit. Use minimal water and oil. Start cooking harder vegetables first. Season lightly with Himalayan salt, tamari, and spices like cumin and turmeric for digestion. Add leafy herbs at the end to preserve aroma. The milkshake combines nuts, cottage cheese, milk, and natural sweeteners. It serves as a protein-rich energy source. Brewer's yeast can be added for B12. "A key principle in cooking is to never use too much water." "Sports food should not be overly spiced or heavily fried, but it should not be tasteless either." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia
The Essence of Prasāda
3:30 - 4:00 (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
We are all born from Shiva
4:05 - 4:36 (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
Thinking of Gurudev
4:40 - 5:03 (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
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."

Agya Chakra
6:20 - 7:32 (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
Prana is balancing our being
7:45 - 8:54 (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
Resonance is God
9:00 - 9:56 (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
The path of happiness
10:00 - 10:53 (53 min)
Recorded on
The soul's journey is defined by two paths: upliftment and downfall. Time is a human construct irrelevant to spiritual progress. The physical body, a temporary vessel of five elements, houses the soul for its development. External help for inner problems is limited. Happiness derived from others is fleeting. True, lasting happiness and self-realization must be cultivated from within. The two fundamental principles are utthāna, leading to development and achievement, and patan, leading to distraction and unhappiness. These divergent paths stem from a single origin, like two leaves from one seed. While past karma and destiny are powerful forces, they can be influenced. Association with good company and spiritual practice can redirect one's path toward upliftment. A true guide can help alter one's destined course. Ultimately, the company one keeps determines one's color; good association leads toward the divine, while bad association leads toward degradation. "Your master cannot give you self-realization from outside. He’s giving you some ideas, some techniques, some good words, or it can turn yourself to that path which will lead you to your destination." "If you go and control thyself, and you go within, inner, then you can change your destiny." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
The Seeker and the Many Wells
11:00 - 11:57 (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
How to get freedom
12:05 - 13:07 (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

Pranayama and the five bodies
17:40 - 18:31 (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
Life of the Saints
18:35 - 19:28 (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
The Oneness of the Soul and the Path of Kuṇḍalinī
19:30 - 20:50 (80 min)
Recorded on
The soul is one, not many. Consider water: it exists as ocean, cloud, river, and drop, yet remains one water. Pollution or salt alters its quality, not its essence. Fire is fire, whether a spark or a wildfire; there is no small or large fire. Similarly, there is no small or big soul. Earth is one, though humans divide it with boundaries. The soul is that one life, that one light. Duality is an illusion; in truth, all is one. You are not separate from God. The supreme soul, Paramatmā, is formless like sound—untouchable yet present. Your inner energy, Kuṇḍalinī, is this divine power. When purified through practice, the soul ascends like a pure white swan to oneness. "Water is one, but the quality of pollution is different. The pollution is not the water." "Fire is now happening in Australia... There is a small spark of fire... It is very small, but it can become a big fire. So there is no small soul and no big soul."

Prana and Soul
21:40 - 22:16 (36 min)
Recorded on
The prāṇa is life, and its management is the art of living. Ten prāṇas function within the body, with Prāṇa and Apāna being most crucial for inhalation and expulsion. Their meeting at the navel can awaken Kuṇḍalinī. Prāṇa is the guard of the soul; if prāṇa is lost but the soul remains, medical science may restore life, but it cannot if the soul departs. Pure prāṇa ensures health, our primary wealth. Health exists across five bodily layers, starting with nourishment from food. Fresh food retains prāṇa; overcooking destroys it. Cook vegetables with spices and water in a covered pot with minimal oil or ghee. Āyurveda favors ghee over oil for internal use. Chemical medicines can save lives but cause side effects, as they are foreign to the body's nature. Our long intestines are designed to process food, but poor diet harms them. Prāṇa leads to higher consciousness. Practice Prāṇāyāma and eat consciously. Avoid junk food, which becomes foul when chewed, and avoid alcohol, a destructive drug despite its medicinal origins. Choose a balanced, yogic life for longevity and happiness. "Prāṇa is life, and life is prāṇa. We can compare our prāṇa to our soul." "The first happiness or first wealth is good health."

23:05 - 23:55 (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.
