Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. We are here to learn and to practice. It's not easy to reach self-realization. Vishwaguruji tells a story about the disciple who was full of high ambitions and went from master to master.
Ganesha
1:00 - 1:49 (49 min)
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."

Adoring the God
4:45 - 5:21 (36 min)
The beauty of nature mirrors the inner light of meditation. Observe creation's splendor—the dawn, sunset, ocean, and wind. This external beauty reflects the Chidākāśa, the inner space of consciousness, which can be illuminated. Practice satsaṅg, being together in truth. Practice the disciplines of yoga: good conduct, thoughts, food, and dwelling in joyful places. All creation is sacred. Recognize the one divine reality behind all forms. Human life is defined by compassion and reverence. Do not cause pain. Respect the earth as mother and all life. Do not waste resources. The sound Oṁ is the primordial vibration of all creation. It is Parabrahma, the supreme formless reality. Chanting Oṁ purifies and removes fear, connecting the individual to the universal resonance.
"Sat means the truth, and saṅg means to be together. Be there with that society which speaks about God, about truth."
"Oṁkāra is Parabrahma Rūpa. It means the form... Oṁkāra is nābhārūpa, like the sky."

Maya is a big cheater
5:25 - 6:37 (72 min)
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."

Shiva Tattva
6:45 - 7:19 (34 min)
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."

Prana and Soul
7:25 - 8:01 (36 min)
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 path of happiness
8:05 - 8:58 (53 min)
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."

Chakras in the human being
9:05 - 9:50 (45 min)
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.
"Śabda, śabda is brahma, brahma śabda, śabda brahma."
"Viśuddhi means to purify."

The Seeker and the Many Wells
9:55 - 10:52 (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."

Prana is balancing our being
11:00 - 12:09 (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."

Vishuddhi chakra and stress
12:55 - 13:49 (54 min)
Morning program with Vishwaguruji from Vancouver, Canada. Yoga practice and Guru kripa are like a highway to our destination. All the emotional problems are blocked at the vishuddhi chakra. If we have a problem but we are trying to hide it, this affects the vishuddhi chakra. There are certain steps to do in order to solve psychic problems. If you are always changing the method, time will pass without success.
Christmas Satsang with H.H. Vishwaguruji
13:55 - 14:49 (54 min)
We search for the divine source while trapped in human conflict. Our spiritual root is Ālagpurījī, connected to the Kailāśa mountain, the kingdom of Śiva. There have been countless Yugas. Divine figures like Śiva manifested; they were not born. Yet in this Kali Yuga, many religions and interpretations arose. People fight over "my God" versus "your God," but no one has truly seen God. If God were seen in form, like Jesus, that form might be rejected or crucified. We divide the earth into countries and houses, forgetting our shared humanity. The soul journeys through many bodies, like coal becoming a diamond through immense pressure and time. Our spiritual practice is this purification. But human jealousy pulls down anyone who rises, like crocodiles in a tale. We cling to titles and differences, forgetting the soul is one. Scriptures are like injections to prevent bad behavior, yet we still fight. Truth alone wins. Hold to your inner truth against all temptation.
"Neither have you seen God, nor has anyone else seen God."
"Kṛṣṇa did not say it, Rāma did not say it, and Allāh did not say it. All, nobody said, but it is we who are doing this."

The Essence of the Vedas and the Generosity of Nature
14:55 - 15:52 (57 min)
The essence of all spiritual teaching is to live in harmony with all creation. Time and karma are certain. The Vedas, studied for many years, distill into a simple law: give good to every creature and love them as yourself, and good returns. Cause trouble to any being or the environment, and trouble returns. Nature embodies this generosity without asking for thanks. A lake gives water to all. A tree gives fruit and shade without retaliation. A saint gives blessings without anger. Rain falls everywhere without discrimination. Every plant holds unknown power for good. Therefore, do nothing harmful. The practices learned here require personal experience and full knowledge before guiding others. Maintain the peace and clarity gained.
"Give good things—comfort, pleasure, help in every aspect—to every creature... then good will return to you."
"If you cause trouble to anyone—animals, humans, the forest, vegetation, or the environment—it will come back to you."

Hatha Yoga Kriyas (2/3)
18:00 - 18:27 (27 min)
Trāṭak is the sixth Haṭha Yoga purification, a practice of gazing on one point to concentrate and purify the sight. It uses a candle flame, a black spot, or the rising or setting sun, never direct sunlight. The flame is placed at arm's length, which strengthens eyesight and helps those who are short- or far-sighted. It trains the mind to focus on one point, calming scattered thoughts and vrittis, leading toward one-pointedness and meditation. Practice requires a peaceful place without drafts or disturbances, wearing loose, natural clothing to contain energy. The ideal flame height is at the heart center, as gazing on the outer light opens the heart chakra and leads to perception of the inner light. Pure ghee lamps are best, but a non-smoking plant-based candle is acceptable. Begin by gazing at the middle of the flame for 30 seconds, then close the eyes to observe the afterimage, repeating this cycle three times. Keep the body and eyes still, relaxing the eyebrow center. Do not practice if overly tired, or if experiencing schizophrenia or depression.
"Trāṭak is not relaxation; it is not meditation. It is concentration."
"Take this light, this flame, inside. This light is the symbol of the highest Self."

The five elements in the world and in our body
19:55 - 20:49 (54 min)
The union of consciousness and space is the primordial principle.
Remember the divine at all times. The sun is a vital divine source. The body's intricate organs, like the lungs spanning a field, sustain life. Earth is a living being teeming with life. The goal is self-realization, to understand one is not the body or mind but the Ātmā. The five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—are living and essential. Space is primary, with consciousness within it. Their union is yoga, the harmony and balance existing before all else. What is called yoga practice is a technique for bodily purification and self-knowledge. All fires, from the digestive to the solar, are to be revered as Agni Dev. The story illustrates that many seek prosperity over the divine. True devotion rises above such attachment.
"Yoga is that which unites the consciousness and space."

Difficulties
23:55 - 0:47 (52 min)
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.
