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

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

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

Vegetarian athletes discuss overcoming cultural skepticism to achieve high performance through plant-based diets. Initial motivations differ, with one citing yoga's ethical principle of non-violence and the other seeking a competitive edge in sports. Both faced doubt, especially regarding protein for muscle development or endurance. They explain that plant foods provide all necessary nutrients, but require specific knowledge to combine ingredients like legumes and grains for complete proteins. The environment presents a mental barrier, with a prevailing belief that meat is essential for strength, which they counter with personal results. Diet is highly tailored to their sports: bodybuilding focuses on muscle mass, while endurance sports like triathlon prioritize efficient energy use and recovery. They emphasize mindful eating, noting how food affects acidity, energy, and digestion during training. Discipline and listening to the body are crucial, as is the mindset that transforms training into a joyful, inspired practice beyond mere competition. "Vegetarian nutrition was simply a continuation. That ethical aspect of vegetarianism, non-violence, developed later." "People have a kind of sneer, like, 'No, well, look, after all, if you are vegetarian, then you won’t be able to reach that level.'" Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Satsang with Vishwaguru Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda, Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Viswaguruji explains how to chant Shiva mantra and Mahamrityunjaya mantra. Mahamrityunjaya mantra is the highest mantra. It removes all illnesses, no curse can attack you while you are repeating this mantra. It removes all impurities from the body, sattvic energy and health appears. This lecture gives an invaluable insight into the ancient Vedic science of using mantras.

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

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Simhasth Kumbha Mela in Ujjain, India. Shiva consciousness and energy is present in the whole Universe. Our being is one with Shiva like a drop of water is one with the ocean. Nothing is without Shiva.

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."

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."

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."

The entire universe exists within the human being. All life, from water to sky, is one soul. Development occurs in physical form on Earth. The human system is like a car requiring an engineer; that inner engineer is you. External help and medicine are limited, unable to enter your consciousness. The science for this is yoga, the path of kuṇḍalinī. Kuṇḍalinī is not a sensation rising up the spine; that is a mental problem. The cakras are your life, layers around the self. You travel through them asking, "Who am I?" Self-realization is becoming one with the Supreme. This requires a systematic path, not changing exercises or masters. Yoga is lost in India; the West must bring it back. Development is internal. You must proceed steadily on one path with one master, like having one mother and father. You are a brilliant diamond covered in dust; purification happens through the cakras. Your inner chakra is your master. You repair your own problems through meditation, returning to the point of your mantra. Your consciousness should be smooth like a swan, not erratic like a crow. The nerve system of iḍā, piṅgalā, and suṣumṇā balances the cakras, with the vajranāḍī as the strong root. The soul departs swiftly at death; its exit point indicates one's karma. Do not fear. Think positively. Your mantra's energy, through the master-disciple bond, leads to liberation. "Everything that exists in the entire universe is within the human being." "You are that brilliant diamond in the whole universe." Filming location: Melbourne, Australia

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."

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."

A morning yoga practice guides the body and mind through relaxation, breath, and movement. Begin by chanting Oṁ to purify the atmosphere. Lie down and consciously relax every part of the body from the toes to the crown of the head. Observe the natural breath. Practice the three components of full yoga breathing: abdominal, chest, and clavicular. Combine them into a single, wave-like breath. Perform gentle stretches and movements synchronized with inhalation and exhalation. These include arm raises, diagonal stretches, and poses like Pavanamuktāsana and Navāsana. Practice side bends and rotations for the wrists and hips. Conclude with standing balances and a final relaxation. Observe the difference in sensation from the beginning to the end of practice. Finish with Prāṇāyāma and the chanting of Oṁ. "Relax all the muscles of your right foot without moving; let the relaxation occur in your mind." "Influence your breath and feel how the abdomen expands with inhalation and contracts with exhalation." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The planetary influences and days of the week affect all beings, not just humans. Constellations and lines on the body, like those on the foot sole, indicate influences. Destructive patterns in a person can bring unrest to an entire household. The illusion of Māyā is a great cheat, depicted as a snake that silently drains one's life force. It binds beings through the three guṇas. All are caught in the cycle of existence, ground between the stones of life and death like grain in a mill. Only through sincere sādhanā and the Guru's guidance can one avoid being crushed. Before the great dissolution, Mahāpralaya, those who realize the truth merge into Brahman. The soul has no gender; duality is an illusion. One must practice diligently, love all creatures, and transcend attachment to be free from the cycle of birth and death. "Māyā is illusion. Such an illusion, that you think that is all." "Between these two stones, all are ground. Nobody remains complete." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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.

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."

Inaugurual session of the conference on 'Yoga for Wellness' organized by the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India and held at Pravasi Bariyat Kendra in New Delhi. The inaugural session was attended by the Vice President of India.

The unity of Śiva and Śakti is the non-dual foundation of creation and spiritual practice. The entire world is one family under one divine source. Śiva is Svayaṃbhu, the self-manifested source from the five elements, and the author of yoga. Śakti is the universal power or energy present in all things, not a gender. Every person contains this essence. Two fundamental powers exist from creation: Daivī Śakti, the divine power of protection and love, and Āsurī Śakti, the power of ignorance, hate, and cruelty. Darkness is removed by igniting the inner light of knowledge. All dualities in the body, like the two hemispheres of the brain or the two eyes, reflect this united energy. Through consistent practice and willpower, one cultivates the divine power to heal and achieve enlightenment. "Śiva is the one who is called Svayaṃbhu. Svayaṃbhū means no one has created him—neither mother nor father." "Darkness will not go, but we just make a little light within, in no time, darkness is gone." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

The Viśuddhi Chakra purifies energy through sound and nerve connections. The body contains 72,000 nerve channels forming a network. The solar plexus, or Maṇipūra Chakra, is a powerful healing center and the seat of life's energy, connected to the sun. This sunlight, symbolized by the svastika, awakens through practices like Agnisar Kriyā. The universal sound OṂ, concentrated at the Viśuddhi, purifies negative energy. Chakras have petals representing Sanskrit alphabets, with resonance in each center. Purification addresses physical, mental, and emotional disease. The sound AUM originates from the sun and moves from the navel through the body. Prāṇāyāma involves inhalation, exhalation, and retention. The three principal nāḍīs are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā, which intersect at chakras. The Vajranāḍī begins at the toes and balances the entire nerve system, aiding digestion and immunity when sitting in Vajrāsana. This posture aligns the spine and relaxes the body, supporting the Viśuddhi Chakra's function. "The Viśuddhi Chakra is a filter, purifying all the negative energy from our body."

Yoga is the science of the body, mind, consciousness, and soul. A chakra is a cycle revolving around a central point, like a drop within a fog, representing the soul. This central point is mirrored at the navel, a mighty circle. Life begins as a tiny drop of consciousness, developing from invisible to visible, holding all ancestral information as positive energy and light. Meditation awakens awareness of one's level of existence. Chakras are imaginative representations, but their reality is described in sacred texts. Two energies exist within a chakra: negative, painful darkness or positive, supreme light called Śabda Brahman. This sound, or nāda, is the essence. All is located along the spinal column, beginning from one bindu, containing the five elements. The human consists of five bodies: nourishment, energy, mind, knowledge, and the body of desire for action. The mind is a reflection of the senses, receiving all knowledge through five perceptual senses and influencing action through five active senses. Consciousness exists in states from unconscious to supreme, dormant within the chakras. One must simply become aware and limit worldly desires. All chakras lead to the fifth, the Viśuddhi cakra at the throat, connected to the thyroid gland. Negativity swallowed in life loads this center. In myth, Śiva drank poison but held it at his throat, purifying it, turning his throat blue. One should not swallow psychic problems. A purification technique exists, but one must first cleanse the three primary energy channels. Psychic problems are a cause of disease; purification addresses this.
