Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Bhaktas get peace and happiness when they have Guru Vakya, the words of the Guru. Our root is Sri Alakhpuriji. Where life is there is Soul. That Soul is equal in all of us.

The resonance of Aum is the fundamental vibration of all existence, connecting Earth, the lokas, and Brahmā loka. Consciousness has no desire, while the inert world cannot act. All apparent forms arise from the one resonance of Akāra, Ukāra, and Makāra. The seeker must follow the inner self, as everything external is temporary and leads to separation. Worldly life, or saṃsāra, possesses no lasting essence and is the source of suffering through attachment. The individual soul, like a drop of water, is separated from the ocean of oneness and journeys through various states, longing for reunion. Liberation involves recognizing this transient nature and turning inward toward the eternal. "Ekobrahman duttye nasti. That Brahman is only one." "In oneness, there is no separation."

The text is a series of devotional invocations and blessings. It opens with repeated salutations and blessings. Mantras and praises to various deities are recited, including invocations to Vishnu and references to divine incarnations. A village is declared as dedicated to God. The structure is liturgical, built on repetition and sacred names rather than linear discourse. "Praṇām, namaste. Praṇām, namaste." "God bless you. God bless you." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

The essence of spiritual life is consistent practice within a supportive community. Our tradition's bhajans contain the complete path. True progress requires personal effort, not merely listening. Association shapes habit: spiritual company fosters spirituality, while negative influences divert you. Many attend lectures but avoid practice, which is like discussing food without eating. Practice purifies karma and sustains spiritual health, just as discipline manages physical health. Without practice, initial spiritual love fades. Maintain your personal system—physical, mental, and spiritual. Life flows like a river, governed by karma and natural principles. Ultimately, success depends on following the Guru's instruction and grace. Your practice brings your benefit; neglect brings none. "Jaisā kare saṅg, vaisā lāge raṅg. With whom you associate, you will take on that habit or color." "If you eat, your stomach will be filled. So I say to you personally: please do practice, not only in class but at home too."

Morning satsang from Summer Retreat in Vep, Hungary. Listening to this lecture by Vishwaguruji we come to know the way a Master helps the Atma of a disciple on their journey towards the Light. Surya Nadi plays an important role in spiritual development.

Ancient wisdom and modern action share a common inspiration. The world and every being in it are imbibed by God. Realizing this oneness removes jealousy, as another's happiness or suffering is your own. For the magnanimous, the entire universe is one family. Our earthly family is suffering, and we must act, which is the purpose of the Earth Charter. We teach its principles through play and song. As your company, so is your character; we affect each other. There is a beautiful joy within each person. When we find it, we can affect others. We must not just do what the Charter says, but be it, letting it rub off on everyone around us. An inspiration from Rajasthan shows what's possible: they banned plastic bags. People adapted quickly, using newspaper and cloth bags. If they can do it, why can't we? Everything is possible if we believe it from within. We must develop global harmony. "this whole world, everyone in it, every being, every creature, every drop of water, every grain of sand is imbibed by God." "for the magnanimous, however, the whole world is one family."

Education requires recognizing the teacher and learner within oneself. If you cannot find the guru inside, you cannot recognize an adequate external guide. One must simultaneously be governed and govern, embodying this contradiction to harmonize self and society. True education awakens self-education first in oneself, like a candle needing its own flame to light others. Modern schooling historically replaced one fixed identity, like a peasant, with another, like a worker, but today that rigid model is destructive. We need education for flexible identity, learning to manage energy for fight or peace, as in yoga. Freedom is not limited by others but created through them; society is a necessity for liberty, not an obstacle. Our words and thoughts matter, as we are largely water, and they influence our very structure. "If you are not able to recognize the guru in yourself, how can you recognize your guru in another person?" "The other person is not an obstacle but a necessity for me to live my freedom."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Bhajan Sataguru Alakha Puriji Avo.

The gathering welcomes distinguished guests and emphasizes the shared pursuit of knowledge through yoga, which transcends physical practice to harmonize the mortal body and immortal soul. We honor our lineage and welcome all present, including a renowned scholar of the Vedas. Human intellect is superior but requires teaching. Despite societal influences, few understand all humanity. We must concentrate on the Jīvātmā. Yoga is the supreme science for humans, extending beyond postures and breath. This work has spread globally over decades, with seeds now sprouting. The path requires selfless surrender. A seed must bury itself and forget its own life to become a tree that bears fruit for society. Our dialogue aims to elevate life through understanding karma and our true nature. "Yoga is the science for humans, not merely āsanas and prāṇāyāma, but something beyond." "Every seed has only one dream: that I should become a big tree. I should bear a lot of fruit for society." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Bhajan Sataguru Alakha Puriji Avo.

Morning Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. Regardless whether you understand bhajans or not, the resonance awakens spirituality in you. The resonance of the songs is reflected in our ten indriyas (organs of perception and action). Swami Sivananda said in his bhajan: those are my friends who understand my words. Shabda means sound, words. In the Gurukul, the warrior students learnt all mantras for archery. By the power of these mantras the arrow goes straight to where the sound of the tiger came from. Vishwaguruji explains the karmic sin of King Dasharatha, father of God Rama.

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

The master's care manifests through complete trust in his guidance. A story illustrates this: during a drought, a request was made for rain. The instruction was given to perform a fire ceremony. The promise was that rain would come. The ceremony began. Clouds gathered. Rain fell abundantly, filling the pond and fields. This demonstrates the principle. The master's power acts, often through indirect means. Similar events have occurred here, where following an instruction to chant for rain resulted in a downpour that filled an empty pond overnight. Another time, a directive to perform prayer beads for rain resulted in a flood. The mechanism is not for us to question. The essential element is trust. When asked to perform a task that seems beyond capacity, the ego resists. But the master's request implies the capability is present. One must proceed with faith. Trust enables the seemingly impossible. Without that trust, obstacles remain. "Go and have a fire ceremony at the watering place in your village, and then you will get rain." "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Slovenska Vas, Slovenia. including Juga Juga Jivo Maheshwarananda, Aba Tuma Gyana Karo

The foundation of grace is complete surrender to the Guru, which removes all fear. The Vedas and Purāṇas seek the offering of your entire being. By surrendering to the Guru, one is promised safe passage across the worldly ocean. Trust is essential; without it, the relationship falters. The saints embody divine mercy across ages. The eternal call is to become humble dust at the divine feet. True freedom and immortality arise from this devotion. The root of everything is the Guru's form, feet, word, and grace. "Because you have surrendered yourself to Gurudeva, do you have to be afraid?" "Oh my child, then you will be free forever, immortal." Filming location: Slovenska Vas, Slovenia

Welcome to the 2nd Sri Swami Maheshwarananda Festival of Spiritual Music from YIDL Ashram in Villach, Austria.

The 2nd Sri Swami Maheshwarananda Festival from Villach, Austria.

The path requires spiritual discipline through specific principles. Enter the divine kingdom through sacrifice and renunciation. The first principle is austerity, the strength to endure situations without being offended. The second is work; without puruṣārtha, one attains nothing. Dharma, prosperity, duty, and liberation are realized only through disciplined action. Dependence—financial, physical, or emotional—is a source of suffering. Cultivate multi-talented readiness for any work to eliminate fear and attachment. Practice discipline and regularity in all things, including diet and conduct. Study sacred texts and introspect to know thyself. Renounce attachment to remain free while fulfilling your duties. Success is self-knowledge and becoming a guiding force, achieved through austerity, renunciation, study, and constant practice. "Without work, no one gets anything in the world." "Know thyself is the answer to all your questions and sufferings." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Oṃ is the divine sound, the origin and essence of all creation. Oṃ is the primordial vibration, the sound-form of the absolute. Its written symbol contains a Bindu, representing both the point from which the universe emerged and the drop of immortal nectar. Yogis meditate upon it eternally. It grants desires and liberation. This is not a sound we create but an existing reality we resonate with through chanting. The practice of Nāda Yoga uses outer sound to journey toward the inner experience of Oṃ. At the highest stage, this sound is perceived directly, transforming into light and expanding consciousness. All true mantras contain Oṃ. It is described as the Word present at creation, the formless source that manifests as the three qualities composing the world. Spiritual practice without connection to Oṃ is considered fruitless. Chanting purifies, illuminates, and awakens divine bliss. "Oṃ is the divine name. Oṃ is God." "Oṃkār bina, sādhanā sapahote bikārī re." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Life's deepest treasure is complete and everlasting bliss, the crown of self-realization rooted in God-realization. Rare beings attain this pearl of Paramānanda. A seeker's deep prayer brought him face-to-face with his divine master, seeing the form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He became a true disciple, devoting body, mind, and soul. He received the highest spiritual initiation, instantly attaining samādhi. His life was a permanent establishment in the highest spiritual experience under his master's guidance. As a spiritual successor, he built and established āśrams, tirelessly spreading the light. He preached non-dualism, non-violence as the highest religion, and the unity of all humanity through song and service. His devotion was Parabhakti, love without reservation, repeating the divine name for over eighteen hours daily. Such love overcomes all obstacles between us and God. He became a living testament that this realization is possible. "My eyes filled with tears, and I fell to my knees. I knew I had found the everlasting light of my life." "All humans belong to one religion, and that is humanity." Filming location: Bola Guda, India

The human body is a vehicle for attaining liberation, requiring purification of three primary obstacles: impurities, disturbances, and ignorance. The soul descends through cycles of birth among 8.4 million life forms, with human birth being a rare opportunity. The intellect is a powerful tool to discover hidden powers within the 72,000 nerves, particularly the four principal ones governing health, emotion, activity, and consciousness. Two fundamental forces, divine and negative, constantly interact within, influenced by time and place. The chakras represent rotating energies, with the foundational Mūlādhāra Chakra housing unconscious consciousness and past, present, and future potentials. Impurities—physical, mental, and emotional—must be cleansed through Haṭha Yoga techniques, which balance emotion and intellect. Disturbances are restless thoughts and waves that prevent clear perception and meditation. Ignorance is a curtain over consciousness, removed through attentive listening in silent spiritual gatherings. The inner instrument consists of mind, intellect, memory, and ego, influenced by the three qualities of harmony, activity, and inertia. These qualities stem from diet, society, and habits. True progress requires mastering speech and action, understanding that the world is transient, and seeking the ultimate truth beyond it. "Brahma-satya jagat-mithyā. The Brahman, the supreme God, which has no form, no name, but still He is there. He is omniscient and omnipresent. That is the final truth." "Before you speak, think it over. Don't say always that I am right and I am right." Filming location: New York, USA

Swamiji in Sliac, 9th April 2007

Morning Yoga practice from the international Yoga retreat Umag, Croatia

Satsaṅg is the gathering where truth resides and God is the center. Life transforms in its light, allowing action with detachment. The broader meaning is a gathering of like-minded individuals focusing on God beyond any single religion. The closer meaning is the place where truth itself resides. Bhajans are the songs born from the realization of saints, expressing divine glory through poetry and melody. Diving into bhajans reveals endless layers of truth, which deepens with devoted repetition. This practice is a gentle medium for revelation, a base teaching requiring only voice or mind. To sing bhajans is to communicate with God and the masters, understanding their teachings. "The center of every satsaṅg is God. It doesn’t matter which name." "Bhajans highlight the glory of God in whatever form... The more often you repeat, the more you sing with devotion, with bhakti, the more the truth will reveal itself to you."

Chanting mantras brings peace and purifies the environment through resonance. Life's disturbances agitate the mind, but mantra restores concentration and releases stress. The Guru Mantra profoundly affects body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. Five techniques exist for its practice. First is writing the mantra daily; positive mantras are not secret and help others. Second is chanting aloud, which influences the three primary energy channels and awakens resonance within the chakras. Each alphabet in the chakras represents a protective power. Third is whispering with slight lip movement, a stage of turning inward while remaining aware. Fourth is mental repetition, which awakens the inner light of knowledge. Fifth is automatic repetition, where the mantra continues effortlessly like breath, requiring no physical or mental effort. This highest level operates constantly. Mantra chanting creates a powerful energy that awakens inner knowledge. "The Mother Earth has enough for our need, but not for our greed." "Ajāpa means you need not repeat. Neither your lips nor your tongue moves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The ashram is heaven on earth, a place of immense energy where the Guru is always present in essence. A journey unfolds through divine guidance, not personal will. A trip to India for Guru Pūrṇimā was redirected by unseen forces, leading one back to the ashram family. Later, guidance came through a spoken sentence about Romania, which led to the establishment of an ashram there through inner instruction, not conversation. A pilgrimage to holy sites in the Himalayas was similarly guided, with paths clearing miraculously to allow darśan. In all endeavors, the Guru's direction is for self-learning. Yoga is a path to discover who one is. Scientific research into modified prāṇāyāma, inspired by the Guru's words, later fostered a university collaboration and a successful public yoga event, where a protective cloud appeared as a sign. "With our yoga in daily life, it is not just āsana. It is a way to learn about ourselves and to look at ourselves." "One sentence from Gurudev can change and influence so many things."

The disciple must never abandon the need for the guru or the teachings, for that is the gravest error. The guru is the principle that leads from ignorance to knowledge. This Guru Tattva is the essential diamond, not the physical form, yet it is embodied to provide tangible guidance. God aids the seeker by sending the guru, who is thus revered as indispensable. The aim is to merge the individual self with the cosmic Self, like a river entering the ocean. This is the Advaita understanding, where the one supreme reality is reflected in all individuals. This merging is the true purpose of yoga, achieved through the guru's grace and teachings. The embodied form concentrates this divine energy, making darśana transformative. The state beyond the three guṇas is inexpressible; it can only be pointed to as 'not this, not that.' "The moment you think you know everything, very soon you will find yourself asking, 'Where are the bricks? Where is the parachute?'" "God will send your friend with the boat. And the Guru is here."

True yoga requires right conduct, not just physical exercise. Without abstaining from meat and alcohol, it is merely exercise, not the yogic path. The world often misunderstands this. The purpose is to return to God, a knowledge preserved in India. Foreign influences promoting contrary habits have caused problems. A return to peace and understanding is coming. Many worldwide now question harming animals. This is yoga in daily life. Many teachers work globally, but practice is undermined if students return home to eat meat. All beings are connected. The practice must be consistent, regardless of one's background. "If someone consumes meat and alcohol, they are not a yogī, and it is not yoga. It becomes merely an exercise." "We should not kill animals. This is yoga in daily life." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The divine is perceived as both formless and with form. The formless God, Nirākāra, is like the horizon or sky—everywhere yet unreachable. The personal God, Sākāra, has a form we can relate to, speak with, and worship. Scripture states both are valid, but for humanity, worship with form is easier as it allows for relationship and dialogue. Our human nature encompasses both aspects. We are advised to use our divine potential through proper practice, as our latent powers can lead us toward divinity or negativity. How we speak and act directly impacts our spiritual and physical well-being, as our energy flows through subtle centers. We must choose a path that awakens our higher consciousness. "both are good, Nirākāra and Sākāra, the formless and with form. But he said, for you... it is easier to worship in form." "you have a chance of being a human... you are divine, you are godly, but all is dormant." Filming location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA
