The way to the Light
0:00 - 1:04 (64 min)
Recorded on
Satsaṅg is the company of truth that leads to spiritual development. Truth is the unchanging reality, Brahman, while the changing world is temporary. The soul descends through various births, bound by past karma, to experience life on Earth. Humans possess intellect and freedom of choice, making them responsible for creating new karma. The soul is a mixture of the individual consciousness and the universal Self. Through human life, one can purify karma and realize the true Self. Education and company from childhood shape one's mentality and path. Good society, or satsaṅg, inspires positive development, while bad society, or kusaṅga, leads to distraction and suffering. Temptations like addiction appear attractive but ultimately ensnare. True friendship is a partnership walking the path of truth. One should seek the company that elevates consciousness and makes good resolutions. "Sat means truth, and that truth is what we call brahma satya, jagat mithyā." "Humans have a different law... that is called intellect, which has the capacity of saṅkalpa and vikalpa." Filming location: Moravske Toplice, Slovenia
Keep your energies clean
1:10 - 2:04 (54 min)
Recorded on
The five bodies each require their own nourishment. The physical body, Annamaya Kośa, needs food. It is said every grain has a destined consumer. A story tells of a grain of rice, uncooked and stuck in a merchant's tooth, which later fell before a king who ate it. Another story tells of a chickpea that entered a man's sinus; a sage said it was destined for a chicken, and so it was. Destiny governs all; free choice is an illusion. Yet discipline is necessary. Care for the physical body through proper āsana and diet, understanding food's effects are unknown. The energy body, Prāṇamaya Kośa, is sustained by breath and pure substances; avoid blocking it with artificial materials. The mental body, Manomaya Kośa, contains all thoughts and desires, known only to oneself and the divine. The intellectual and bliss bodies will be discussed later. Practice yoga as a daily discipline for these sheaths. "On every grain is written the name of the one who will eat it." "Destiny is playing with us. Nothing we can do, and we do not have free choice." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Diwali Celebration
1:45 - 2:29 (44 min)
Recorded on
The Guru brings light to darkness, incarnating to liberate devotees and unite them in divine light. This Diwali commemorates Lord Rama's return, symbolizing the inner lamp Guru ignites within each heart through mantra and devotion. That flame must burn eternally, like the continuous lamp in the ashram. The Guru built this sacred space not for himself but for future generations; our duty is to preserve it. His grace alone is the disciple's auspiciousness. "The Guru is the one who brings light to darkness." "Once lit, that dīpa should not go out." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Diwali festival
2:10 - 2:48 (38 min)
Recorded on
India is the cradle of culture and spirituality. Its traditions, language, and festivals are profound. Yet, its people have forgotten their heritage, becoming slaves to foreign languages. No nation that abandons its native tongue retains its identity. Language is the vessel of culture; when it is lost, the culture perishes. Preserve your mother tongue to protect your spiritual foundation. The soul takes a human birth for righteousness. If you call your father 'Papa,' a word sounding like 'sin,' you blackmail your own consciousness toward hell. Use the sacred words for mother and father. This simple practice safeguards the entire culture. Western disciples guard their own traditions diligently. Indians must reclaim their dress, language, and customs to restore the nation's spiritual glory. "Lucky are they, blessed are they, fortunate ones are they who are born in holy Bhārat." "If you take care of these two words, then you will save the Sanskrit language of India. And that is the mother and the father." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Diwali Is The Festival Of Love And Light
2:50 - 2:58 (8 min)
Recorded on
The Vedic culture provides the scientific instructions for living in harmony. This ancient tradition was once widespread globally, guiding environmental protection and architecture like the Egyptian pyramids. In this current age, human lifespans have shortened due to artificial living, pesticides, and animal breeding. Modern technological development has made us slaves to electricity and harmed the earth through pollution. Mass meat consumption, a modern phenomenon accelerated after the Second World War, comes at a cost to health. Despite talk of protecting wildlife, it disappears each year. The practical application of Vedic science is the singular answer for achieving world peace and regenerating nature. Diwali is the ancient festival celebrating this light and unity. "To get world peace, to regenerate and recover nature and wildlife, if we follow the Vedic culture." "Never, ever, never in the past were humans consuming so much meat as they are doing nowadays."

Knowledge is the Light
3:45 - 4:07 (22 min)
Recorded on
Guru Pūrṇimā is about moving from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge. Without knowledge, one is like an animal. This light is the inner knowledge within every being. Humans possess intellect, but it is shaped by its education; one becomes what one is taught. Therefore, proper education is paramount, which is spiritual and ethical education rooted in Sanātana values. This education comes from the guru. The essence of all scriptures is the same truth of one God, though languages differ. Today, people prioritize learning English for jobs over their mother tongue, leading to a loss of cultural roots. Sanskāras create culture, culture creates humanity, and humanity protects the country. Guru Pūrṇimā is the worship of the divine being who gives knowledge and is a festival to keep culture alive. Sanātana Dharma is a living dharma, seen in eternal relationships like that of guru and disciple. This relationship will last forever, making it the greatest and most living festival. "Without knowledge, one is like an animal." "God is one. God has no name, and all scriptures speak of the oneness of God." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Yoga for the physical body and beyond
4:15 - 4:37 (22 min)
Recorded on
Yoga's global rise signals a return to spirituality, which encompasses all of life, not just religion or meditation. The last century's wars fostered a materialistic mindset focused on money, creating distance between people and even within families. Many now practice yoga only for physical fitness, and some teachers compete in wealth, which is contrary to yoga's non-competitive essence. True yoga is a simple, accessible practice from birth to liberation, not about difficult postures that can cause long-term injury. Learning correctly requires a genuine master and lineage. We have verified our spiritual roots and lineage. We must protect sacred natural places from human pollution, which is particularly damaging. "Spirituality means not only doing meditation, but encompasses everything." "Yoga is from the mother’s womb until liberation, and it should be a very easy practice." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
When The Light Comes - Darkness Disappears
4:45 - 5:10 (25 min)
Recorded on
The journey through the kośas reveals how attachment obscures our true nature. We seek a love where we are one soul, like brothers who share everything without "my" or "thy." This ideal is tested in life's difficulties, where relationships often reveal hidden attachments. The intellect sheath, vijñānamaya kośa, is where subtle selfishness arises, influenced by desires from the bliss sheath. A story illustrates this: two loving brothers live as one family. One day, the elder unconsciously gives a larger mango to his nephew and a smaller one to his own son. This slight preference, born of attachment, shatters the unity, leading to separation. The problem is the duality of "mine" and "yours." The solution is viveka—discernment—within the intellect sheath, to pause and act wisely. Our worries and burning desires occupy all five sheaths, destroying inner harmony. Surrender to the divine is the refuge where these burdens are released. "On an emergency, in a difficult time, there you can test if it is yours or not." "Cintā and Tṛṣṇā, both, have occupied this castle of our kośas."
Build your intellect supportive
5:15 - 6:31 (76 min)
Recorded on
A clear aim is essential to prevent the intellect from becoming a destructive distraction. Without a definite purpose, the mind wavers among endless possibilities, changing direction with every new suggestion. This lack of clarity makes one susceptible to external influences and gossip, which act like poison, spoiling spiritual practice as lemon curdles milk. Negative talk and jealousy introduce destructive thoughts that can damage years of spiritual effort. One must therefore cultivate an intensive, unwavering aim and avoid all sources of negative influence. Protect your consciousness from harmful information that creates doubt and disturbs your peace. Spiritual progress requires guarding the mind and maintaining humility, allowing the intellect to become a supportive tool rather than an obstacle. "Your aim must be very clear, intensive, and good. Nothing should be able to change you." "One stupid thought, one stupid person, can destroy all your spiritual sādhanā." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 180a
The Blessings of Seva and Spiritual Resilience
6:35 - 7:11 (36 min)
Recorded on
A yogic life offers holistic health and spiritual resilience through selfless service and trust in the divine. Modern comforts and manipulations like daylight saving create imbalance, whereas natural living and seva bring harmony. Health depends on the outer environment and conscious choices, not just personal habits. True seva is performed for one's own spiritual growth, not for others, as the merit returns manifold. Spiritual practice involves transforming oneself into an ashram, a shelter of positivity. During life's difficult paths, one is never alone; the divine carries the devotee. Trust in this divine care removes worry and fosters resilience, like a tree surviving all storms through deep spiritual roots. "When you are doing seva, it is not that you are doing it for others, but you are doing it for yourself, because you will get it back a thousand times." "When the comfortable path was, I just walked beside you. But when the thorny, stony way came, I walked and I carried you in the hollow of my palm." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

Bhajans from Oosterhout
8:40 - 9:45 (65 min)
Recorded on
The sole longing is for the dust of the holy feet, surpassing all worldly and heavenly desires, even liberation itself. Meeting the true Guru dispels all mental confusion and wrong knowledge, revealing the inner truth. The individual flame unites with the cosmic flame when all doubt is gone. External forms veil the one eternal truth within. Many speak only few words, but the Guru's word is profound. The devotee seeks to be accepted at those lotus feet. A true yogi, drunk on the divine name, is imperturbable, seeing no distinction between diamond and stone, free from all desire and fear. "Please give me the dust of your holy lotus feet. This is the only thing I am searching for and longing for." "He’s unmovable, and he’s strong or firm as a mountain, he’s the same in life and he’s the same in death."

When we turn the light of knowledge (gyana) on, darkness will disappear.
The Awakening of Kuṇḍalinī: A Journey to Happiness, Love, and Wisdom
13:25 - 13:53 (28 min)
Recorded on
The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī brings happiness, universal love, and wisdom. Our journey spans many lives as we develop individual consciousness, which is part of the cosmic Self. Yoga is the practice of reunion with that Self. Energy from the cosmos is received through rotating chakras and circulates through five bodily layers. The causal body holds two levels: transient joy and divine, everlasting bliss. The soul is a collection of karma and qualities, not the eternal Self. At self-realization, this collection dissolves. When the physical body dies, karma persists like a shadow, guiding the soul's future. Chakras must be purified through mantra and practice for a stable awakening. Without guidance, imbalanced energy causes disturbance. The term Kuṇḍalinī refers to feminine energy residing in the unconscious, with its serpentine movement through the nerves symbolizing this awakening. "Yoga means union, and practicing yoga means reunion." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means happiness, universal love, and wisdom." Filming location: Debrecen, Hungary

Yoga in Daily Life - exercise program
16:00 - 17:29 (89 min)
Recorded on
A guided practice of deep relaxation, mindful movement, and breath awareness. Begin by systematically releasing tension from the feet to the face with each exhale. Practice creating and releasing tension in individual limbs, then the whole body, to feel the contrast. Move with slow, deliberate stretches, coordinating each motion with the breath to explore the body's range. Perform gentle spinal twists and core engagements, always moving within a comfortable range without pain. Conclude with focused breathing exercises to purify and calm the nervous system, followed by a period of silent integration. "Release the entire torso, both arms, the muscles in the neck, and all the muscles in the face as you send the exhale throughout the entire body." "The exhalation purifies, releases, and frees you from tension." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
There is no end of learning
17:35 - 18:16 (41 min)
Recorded on
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."

Be within thyself
18:20 - 19:05 (45 min)
Recorded on
True meditation is found within, not in external pursuits. External experiences are temporary, like falling leaves or pictures of food that cannot satisfy hunger. The source of lasting peace and power resides inside every person. Looking outward in meditation is like a father distracting a child with promises; the comfort is fleeting. A seeker performing many rituals found no peace until instructed to simply rest inwardly and surrender all effort. Another devotee could not see Kṛṣṇa in meditation until taught to calm the inner vision. All that is sought—God, the guru, harmony—is already present within the self. The journey requires turning the senses inward to discover the permanent source behind the temporary world. "Go within thyself. Whatever is given from outside is given... But what is given from outside is temporary." "Close your eyes and rest. Give it to me... Don’t think anything. Now you should know that I am in my body." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
20:05 - 20:26 (21 min)
Recorded on
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 Foundations of Consciousness: Understanding the Chakras
21:25 - 21:57 (32 min)
Recorded on
The chakras are borders of consciousness. Energy centers are located at the body's major joints, marking transitions between kingdoms of nature. Concentrating on the earth chakra at the feet can lead to depression and accelerated aging. The area from ankles to knees governs animal consciousness and behavior. The five human chakras remain mixed with these lower qualities. The Ājñā Chakra is the border between human and divine consciousness. Awakening it reveals the inner master, though the outer master remains essential. Confusion arises when this center is clouded by intellect and ego. Ājñā means command, granting authority over the senses and freedom from karma. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the root foundation of physical and psychic stability. Its red color symbolizes the energy of Mother Earth, blood, and Śakti. This energy is worshipped as the divine feminine. The lotus flower symbolizes pure devotion and love, remaining unstained by the world. "Gu means darkness, and Ru means light. You enter into the light of wisdom, and you cross the border of this darkness." "Ājñā means order. Ājñā means command. So you become the commander because you know what to do." Filming location: Umag, Croatia
We are full of resonance
22:05 - 22:59 (54 min)
Recorded on
All paths converge to a single essence. Different masters and gods are like separate drops that ultimately enter the ocean. From that ocean, differentiation arises again, just as water evaporates to form clouds. The purpose is to understand why some return quickly while others fall far away. A story illustrates this: seeds ground between two stones become flour, but a handful near the central hook remain complete. Those who surrender at the holy feet are like those seeds; they are not ground but come to the highest. Another story tells of a yogi saddened by slaughter; in meditation, it was revealed the karma belongs to the actors, not the witness. Satsang attendees are already there and will reach the supreme. The sound within, like the ocean's resonance, is Nādarūpa Parabrahma. This vibration is in the whole universe and within all. Do not sit passively like a dead body; respond and awaken to this sound. "Those who come to the Gurudevs, or your God, or your temples, or your church—where we are at the holy feet of the gods—they will not be ground." "It is their karma, and they will get it back again. But you have done nothing. You see, it is painful, but you have not done." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Mantras and Bhajans
23:55 - 0:35 (40 min)
Recorded on
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."
