Calming down the vrittis
0:05 - 0:58 (53 min)
Morning Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Fiji. Through practicing Yoga your vrittis will be calm. A peaceful and calm environment helps your meditation. Brahmari pranayama is very good for our brain activities and gyan indriyas(senses). The five gyan indriyas are connected with the upper part of the body.
Prana and Soul
1:00 - 1:36 (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."

Follow the words of Gurudev
1:40 - 2:57 (77 min)
The path requires dissolving ego through genuine service to attain self-knowledge. Ego is the primary obstacle for any seeker. Without renouncing pride and anger, spiritual titles are meaningless. A story illustrates this: a learned scholar visited a sage, boasting of his knowledge of all yogas. The sage asked if he knew the yoga of service, such as cleaning a sick person's pot. The scholar had not. True service is the practical yoga that erodes ego. Another tale tells of a royal disciple whose guru dressed him finely daily, causing jealousy among other disciples. When the group encountered a filthy ditch, only this disciple lay down as a bridge for his guru to cross. The guru revealed the lesson: the finely dressed disciple did not hesitate to serve, while others worried only for their own robes. The guru's command is the sole means to liberation.
"Swamiji, you gave me sannyās. You must respect my orange dress." "Yes, I respect the orange dress, not your ego."
"Gurudev, I will be thine. Devotees will come and devotees will go, but I will be thine."

The center of the Divine Light
3:35 - 4:10 (35 min)
The eternal holy light of this spiritual seat has been radiating for forty years. This center in Vienna is a blessed place where thousands have learned yoga and spirituality.

Enlightenment is not gained by mere touch but through dedicated practice. Your primary task is to cleanse your heart through spiritual discipline. Do not neglect your practice, or the inner light will dim. A blessing given is permanent and will protect you, even if understood later. All worldly conflict is superficial; deep within the heart lies peace. Take light from this eternal flame to ignite your own.
"The whole creature is myself, my ātmā. Ātmā soi paramātmā, and this ātmā is the supreme one."

Vishwaguruji's morning Satsang, Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Vishwaguruji explains the meaning of nishkam and sakam karma. Careful and unselfish actions can make the future easier. We are acting and creating karma continuously. There is a way we can change our karma: meditation and worship.
The Essence of Prasāda
7:25 - 7:55 (30 min)
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."

Return back to happiness
8:00 - 8:52 (52 min)
Sādhana, or spiritual practice, rests on two pillars: the changeable physical practice and the permanent spiritual practice. Our physical practice must adapt to our changing age and condition. While yoga āsanas like śīrṣāsana benefit everyone by improving circulation and health, the ultimate goal is not mere longevity but a contented life. Modern life generates stress and endless desire, which destroys contentment. Accumulating possessions only multiplies sorrows. True happiness, or sukha, is found not in external things but in inner śāntoṣa, or contentment. This contentment is cultivated through steady spiritual practice, primarily mantra. Your mantra is the unwavering pillar that purifies consciousness and leads to perfection, regardless of your beliefs. Do not abandon this practice, for it protects you and brings peace. The physical practice supports the body, but the spiritual practice of mantra and devotion is the essential, unchanging path.
"Śāntoṣī nārśada sukhi, who is always content, is always happy."
"As many things we have, that many sorrows we have."

Prayer before eating
9:00 - 9:52 (52 min)
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."

The way to Sri Devpuriji's cave
11:00 - 11:45 (45 min)
Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Sadhvi Umapuri reports on the Sri Devpuriji cave trip. The journey started from Delhi towards Rishikesh - at the foot of the Himalayas - then Josimath and Badrinath, at an elevation of about 3000m. 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.
Yoga brings balance between space and consciousness
11:50 - 12:39 (49 min)
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."

Pranayama and the five elements
13:40 - 14:27 (47 min)
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."

The Vedas
14:35 - 15:20 (45 min)
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."

Regular yoga practice leads to good health
21:35 - 22:19 (44 min)
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."
