Maya is a big cheater
0:05 - 1:17 (72 min)
Recorded on
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
Chakras in the human being
1:25 - 2:10 (45 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada
How cosmic energy is circulating in our body
2:15 - 2:56 (41 min)
Recorded on
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." "That sound comes to our navel, and from our navel, it sends radiance through the whole body." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada
The Practice of Śalabhāsana and Complementary Āsanas
3:00 - 3:59 (59 min)
Recorded on
The practice of śalabhāsana and complementary āsanas builds strength and influences consciousness. Śalabhāsana strengthens the posterior muscles and works on self-confidence. Hold the posture with full lungs and descend on the exhalation, though breathe naturally if there is high blood pressure. Remain soft while using strength. It corrects the pelvis and benefits the prostate and menstruation. A variation with hands under the body stretches the digestive tract and is ideal before meditation. Avoid excessive bending in the lumbar area; focus the bend in the thoracic part. Follow with relaxation and pavanamuktāsana to release lower back tension. Sarvāṅgāsana benefits peripheral circulation and balances thyroid function, but avoid it with hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, or during menstruation. It improves circulation to the head and allows a subtle exhalation. Its counterpose is bhuḍaṅgāsana, which stretches the front and strengthens the arms; bend in the chest area, not the most flexible part. Halāsana stretches the back and affects the neck, emphasizing exhalation. Matsyāsana opens the chest, works on the thyroid and breathing, and is performed with inhalation through the nose and exhalation through the mouth. A one-legged balance pose aids concentration and nervous stability. Ardha Matsyendrāsana regenerates the spine and has anti-inflammatory properties. An inverted posture improves circulation to the head and spiritual development. Conclude with Tāḍāsana and Prāṇāyāma. Bhastrikā Prāṇāyāma intensifies the digestive fire and burns waste; relax the abdomen and let breath flow spontaneously without forcing inhalation. Avoid it with a brain tumor or elevated body temperature. Chant Oṁ to withdraw inward. "Remain soft in the posture, even while using strength." "In this posture, simply allow one subtle, extended exhalation." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia
How a hatha yogi can reach the aim of yoga
4:05 - 4:43 (38 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the singular union of the individual soul with the Supreme. It is Ādi Anādi, beginningless and endless. The eternal space contains consciousness, called cetan. Yoga is the harmonizing, balancing, and uniting of these principles into oneness. This union is between Jīvātmā, the individual soul, and Paramātmā, the Supreme Soul. The purpose of all yoga paths is to achieve this. Haṭha Yoga requires strict discipline, Kāyā Sādhana, to balance the body and mind. A true Haṭha Yogī forges their own path like a lion, not following the common road. They require purification, as energy transfers between people like an infection, disrupting meditation and clarity. The yogī must protect their energy and not change their determined course, even against opposing winds. Achieving this balance leads to liberation. "Yoga means the balance. Harmonizing, balancing, and uniting." "A Haṭha yogī doesn't walk only on that. It will make its own practice on sādhanā." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Sri Alakhpuriji and the Himalayas
4:45 - 5:13 (28 min)
Recorded on
The Earth is a living, divine creation designed in perfect balance. Human activity disrupts this balance through mining, deforestation, and construction. The Himalayas are a young and holy mountain range, the abode of great saints and the manifestation of divinity. The saint Ālakpurījī embodies Śiva in the Himalayas, where his disciples and the river Alaknandā carry his vibration. One purifies the inner self through pure thought, nourishment, and behavior to merge with the divine. All souls ultimately return to the source. "Our Earth is a living planet, a Living Earth." "You are not a Hungarian. If you are Hungarian, okay, and that Hungarian also is not all." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Self is happiness
5:15 - 5:53 (38 min)
Recorded on
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect. "If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere." "The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 155b
Swara Yoga
6:00 - 6:37 (37 min)
Recorded on
Svara Yoga is a profound practice aligning breath with life's rhythms. For the sincere practitioner, it is a simple sadhana, yet difficult for the mere trier. This discipline reveals indications of past, present, and future. It involves understanding the flow of the Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna nadis. Daily actions—rising, stepping, eating, drinking—should harmonize with the active nostril. This alignment dispels anxiety and brings clarity. The moon's phases hold significance, connected to emotion and water. Practice cultivates automatic awareness, prolonging health and happiness. It requires sustained dedication, not short-term effort. "Svara Yoga gives indications about your whole life. It provides information about your past, what is happening in the present, and offers indications for the future." "Eat when the right nostril is flowing... When you drink water, let the left nostril flow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Shiva Tattva
6:45 - 7:19 (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
Prana is balancing our being
7:25 - 8:34 (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

Developing human qualities
10:00 - 10:57 (57 min)
Recorded on
Human life is distinguished by its understanding of dharma, karma, pāpa, and puṇya. Animals live by survival, but humans are given rules and the capacity to discern sin from piety. Karma is action, specific to human understanding. Pāpa, or sin, is not removed by brief rituals or holy water; it is deep within our existence and requires sustained practice. Puṇya comes from good actions that cause no pain to others. We must cultivate positive energy through kindness and mercy. Our associations matter: satsaṅga elevates, while kusaṅga spreads negativity like a disease. Modern life brings pollution and negative karma that manifest as illness. Human duty is to protect life, not destroy it, beginning with a sāttvic diet. We must purify all five layers of our being through awareness and righteous living. "Thou shalt not kill. He did not say whom you should not kill." "If you cannot help, do not destroy. If you cannot forgive, do not take the reactions." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Resonance is God
11:05 - 12:01 (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
Harmonizing the layers of our being
12:05 - 13:10 (65 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Auckland, New Zealand. There are five layers or bodies (kosha) of our being: the physical body, the energy body, the mind, knowledge and desire. We are able to balance and harmonize these functions by practising yoga regularly.Vishwaguruji explains Brahmari Pranayama and leads a short meditation.
The Essence of the Vedas and the Generosity of Nature
13:15 - 14:12 (57 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Fiji Islands
Adoring the God
14:20 - 14:56 (36 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Fiji Islands
Harmony unity and balance
15:00 - 15:55 (55 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Sri Devpuruji Ashram, Raumati Beach, New Zealand. Yoga is the science of harmony unity and balance in the universe. Love is God and God is love. First God is Mother. Space is the mother principle. The soul is the part of the universe. Consciousness is in the space but space is not in the consciousness. We should follow natures life. Allopathic medicine is not natural but sometimes can save our life. Cancer is in our body but if we do not go against nature it does not become aggressive. There are five elements which protect the soul. There are five koshas in us. Don't eat the dead body. Energy is in the natural things not in plastic. Say no to plastic. Uppranas are very powerful.
Practising third level of Yoga in Daily Life System
16:00 - 17:38 (98 min)
Recorded on
A guided practice integrating āsana, prāṇāyāma, and relaxation begins with breath awareness and gentle movement. Settle the body and deepen the breath to receive prāṇa. Coordinate movement with inhalation and exhalation, maintaining inner attention. Practice stretches, Pāvanamuktāsana, and Vajrāsana with focus on spinal alignment. Perform inverted postures like Viparīta Karaṇī Mudrā with care, distinguishing it from Śīrṣāsana. Practice standing āsanas such as Garuḍāsana and Trikoṇāsana with balance and concentration, avoiding force. Conclude with Prāṇāyāma, specifically Nāḍī Śodhana, to purify the energy channels. Chant Oṃ to complete the practice. "Throughout the entire practice, strive to maintain your attention within yourself." "For all balancing postures, it is essential first to calm the mind, and only then can the balancing postures be performed well." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Christmas Satsang with H.H. Vishwaguruji
17:45 - 18:39 (54 min)
Recorded on
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 five elements in the world and in our body
18:45 - 19:39 (54 min)
Recorded on
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." "Without Agni Dev, no world creation is there." Filming location: Fiji Islands

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.

Difficulties
23:45 - 0:37 (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."
