Regular yoga practice leads to good health
1:20 - 2:04 (44 min)
Recorded on
The yogic path advocates health and peace through conscious living. Completing this year, practitioners have progressed toward the highest goal. Peace is scarce in the world, and a vegan diet is advocated to care for nature and all creatures. The consensus for the planet is to turn vegetarian. Meat consumption and alcohol are grave mistakes, correlating with widespread disease. Those following a sattvic diet avoid these and remain healthy. The first happiness is good health, which is the primary wealth. To achieve the human goal, practice one system of yoga daily without change. Fasting is beneficial if organic food is unavailable. Prāṇāyāma, particularly anuloma viloma and bhastrikā, is the remedy for bodily ailments. Do not consume food from the fridge, as it loses health value. Vary your grains and vegetables weekly. Exercise simply and consistently. Eat according to the season, not from global transport. Cook at home; caring for the body is primary. Make a resolve for peace, avoiding aggression from animal products and alcohol. "Pahala sukha nirogi kaya. The first happiness is good health." "Practice anuloma viloma prāṇāyāma as much as you can throughout the day." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Vedas
2:10 - 2:55 (45 min)
Recorded on
The Vedas are the holy scriptures of Sanātana Dharma, representing a vast river of knowledge. This knowledge was originally transmitted orally from master to disciple through Śruti, listening, and Smṛti, memory. In the Kali Yuga, human memory declined. To preserve the Vedas, the sage Vedavyāsa dictated them continuously. Gaṇeśa agreed to write them down on the condition that the dictation never stop. Gaṇeśa used his own tusk as a writing instrument. The knowledge contained within the Vedas is immeasurable, likened to the entire Himalayan mountain range compared to a mere handful of dust. All spiritual paths and practices originate from yoga. The goal is to internalize this knowledge through practice and meditation, ultimately cultivating peace within oneself to share with the world. "Śruti is what we listen to from the master—remembering the master's teaching. Smṛti is memory, so that one becomes the master or the great receiver who knows everything by heart." "Till now, what you have learned is only as much as the dust in your hand. And the Vedas are like the whole Himalaya." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Prayer before eating
3:25 - 4:17 (52 min)
Recorded on
Food is a holy source of life and nourishment. The dried Panchkuta vegetable requires significant effort to harvest and prepare. Its ingredients, like guṇḍā, benefit the gums and joints. Cooking involves frying spices in oil, adding a mixed masala, and combining it with the pre-cooked vegetable. Human development distinguishes us from animals; we possess intellect to discern virtue from sin. Great sages taught that humans should sustain themselves on vegetation, not by consuming life. We pray before eating, acknowledging the divine source of our nourishment. This practice cultivates gratitude and purity, recognizing that food is prāṇa, or living energy. Spiritual seekers request nourishment for knowledge and detachment, not for indulgence. "Humans have more intellect, more feelings to know what is sin and what is good." "Where there is love, there is no cruelty. Where there is love, you cannot kill any creature." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Essence of Prasāda
6:15 - 6:45 (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

The Seeker and the Many Wells
7:50 - 8:47 (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

Prana and Soul
14:10 - 14:46 (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."

Observe the natural breath, then consciously deepen it into a full yogic wave moving from abdomen to chest. Coordinate simple stretches with inhalation and exhalation, feeling tension and release. Progress through poses that stretch the spine diagonally and twist it, always keeping the lower back close to the floor. Move into seated postures for flexion and extension of the spine, coordinating each movement with the breath. Conclude with deep relaxation, breath awareness, and a simple prāṇāyāma technique. "Feel your body becoming heavier with each exhalation." "Harmonize your movement with your breath." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Yoga brings balance between space and consciousness
20:00 - 20:49 (49 min)
Recorded on
The spiritual path is a rare journey from primordial void to pure consciousness. We exist in Kali Yuga, a dark age of sin and conflict, yet protected by unseen sages from Satyayuga, the age of truth. Spirituality is not ritual but crystalline purity without duality or negative thought. From the void (śūnyākāśa) arose a singular vibration—"I am one, I will multiply"—initiating creation. Human life is a precious chance among 8.4 million life forms. However, the human condition inherently accumulates karma like dust. True aspirants must purify continuously, as even a spot of criticism defiles the consciousness. The goal is to become desireless and awake, harmonizing consciousness and space. This awakening is not personal but universal and endless. "Holy are they who will swallow this negative life, words, or subject, and it purifies—like you put your laundry in the washing machine." "Spirituality means purity, pure, crystal clear. There is not any spot of darkness or gray." Filming location: Raumati Beach, New Zealand

Sri Alakhpuriji's cave is located near Vasudhara Falls, in a beautiful valley near the 'last village' of India called Mana. Lakshmi Van is the first landmark towards Sri Devpuriji's cave, which is located at about 5000m, close to the peak called Neelkanth.
Pranayama and the five elements
21:45 - 22:32 (47 min)
Recorded on
Prāṇa is life, sustained by breath and water. Practice prāṇāyāma diligently, inhaling through the nostrils and exhaling through the mouth. Reduce food intake gradually over years, not through abrupt fasting, to build strength and oxygenate the body. Breath nourishes the 72,000 nerves, which are like roots seeking water and space. Where there is water, there is life and divinity. Avoid blocking the lips with substances like lipstick, as lips must stay humid to connect with the navel, the body's root. Applying ghee to the navel can heal lip blisters overnight, demonstrating this connection. Modern chemicals, including medicines and contaminants, are not fully accepted by the body and damage natural systems like the lungs and waterways. Cultivate the natural elements within through yogic science. "Where there is water, there is God. What is God? It is called life." "The breath we inhale is not only the air we feel in the lungs. The quality of our breath spreads into the hundreds or thousands of nerve systems." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
