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

Christmas conveys a dual message of joy and sorrow to awaken compassion. Holy incarnations appear for a purpose or remain as constant saints. God sustains all life, yet human greed corrupts this natural provision. The season reminds us of divine births, like Jesus, born into hardship to exemplify love and perseverance. Living in this complex world requires balance, like a tongue amidst teeth. True saintliness is an inner quality, not an external uniform. The path demands positive thinking toward all, without judgment, as divine figures work to show the way. "God is feeding everyone. And what they call the food companies are now controlling, and they produce the food as they like." "Those who love their friends and enemies equally, they are dear to me."

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

Yoga in daily life is the integration of spiritual discipline into every action. You must know your purpose. I taught yoga abroad and required a commitment to vegetarianism, refusing to teach those who ate meat. In India, some who never ate meat now do. Upon waking, affirm "I am a human being." Water is divine; a few drops remind you it is within all. Apply it like an injection to feel Jagadīś in your body. Do not let animals into sleeping rooms, though a cat or goat is good. Protect animals and India. Sanātana Dharma exists only in India. Many Indians abroad worship and have left meat. Practice yoga daily. Protect animals, protect India. Do not let animals into the house. The alternative to mobile confusion is to say Om when using the telephone. "Water is Jagadīś. Jagadīś, Sarveś, Jagadīś, Bhagavān." "The alternative is to say Oṃ. Say Om whenever you pick up the telephone." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

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."

India, Summer 2005. Report about the Swamijis activities.

Chakras are energy centers where consciousness resides, defining character and problems. Your destiny (prārabdha) is created by past karma before your body forms. You control your present karma through action, speech, thought, and influence, but once acted upon, deeds become destiny governing future life and all current problems. The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root foundation of consciousness based on that karma. It is the earth element, colored red for energy and Mother Consciousness. Its awakening brings safety, wisdom, and pleasurable energy, not physical sensations. The chakra's symbols include a four-petaled lotus representing the four ways life enters the world, an elephant symbolizing wisdom and prosperity, an inverted triangle for energy flow, and a coiled snake representing past, present, and future karmas—the dormant Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Śiva (consciousness) and Śakti (nature) seek union here. Exercises like Bhujaṅgāsana and Śalabhāsana activate this chakra, strengthening the back and influencing the root center for physical and mental balance. "As long as you are not doing anything, it is still under your control." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means wisdom. You become very wise, you become self-confident."

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."

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

States of consciousness reveal our inner and outer life. Waking activity is for the outer world, using all energy from sunrise to sunset. In sleep, we are within ourselves, aware of the inner self filled with divine feeling. This sleep is not nothing; it is a vital awareness given by God. Deep sleep is being one hundred percent aware of the self, comfortable and peaceful. The dream state contains things within ourselves, both good and bad. A constant alertness exists between these states. Therefore, sleeping is very important. A higher level is Yoga Nidrā, a sleep of consciousness toward the Supreme, practiced by yogis. "In sleeping, we were within ourselves. Our whole being is with us, filled with very, very divine feelings." "What this sleep means is that we are 100% aware of our self, and so it is very comfortable, relaxed, and peaceful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

True devotion is singular and without hypocrisy. The Guru is the supreme refuge and the giver of all attainments. All that is needed is received through the Guru's grace. The Lord does not accept false or deceitful devotion. True devotion requires sincerity, not performance for personal gain. The genuine seeker finds ultimate happiness beyond all sorrows through this authentic connection. The Guru's form is beautiful and their compassion is universal. One must take refuge sincerely at the holy feet. "The Lord does not accept hypocritical devotion." "All sorrows become the highest happiness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Recording from the morning satsang with Vishwaguruji in Villach, Austria.

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.

The essence is the unstruck sound, the Anāhada, realized through devotion beyond form and thought. This is not an experience of the body or mind. It is beyond all attributes, beyond the forms of Rama or any shadow. It is the formless void that holds the supreme form. Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it. It is understood only through the grace of the true Guru. One must surrender at the divine feet, seeking mercy and blessings for liberation. The devotional offering is the path. "Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it." "Please bless me with your blessings, I request you, O Guru." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The refuge lies at the divine feet. By taking refuge there, one experiences supreme truth and bliss, becoming free from the cycle of birth and death. The mind finds its steady path. The Vedas and Puranas sing of this refuge. True devotion and knowledge lead to liberation. The divine name itself brings supreme happiness. The true Guru is incomparable.

Our body is a divine energy system of chakras, and destiny is recorded within it. Chakras are energy centers connecting consciousness, space, and energy. The body is an indescribable creation; it transforms food into life in a way no machine can. Our destiny is the fruit of past actions, recorded in our energy field like an unerasable line on stone. We cannot delete it, but through spiritual practice, we can rise above it. The Ājñā Chakra, or third eye, when opened, grants vision of past, present, and future. Negative energies—Kāma, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Ahaṅkāra—arise from the lower chakras and bind us. These must be replaced with positive qualities: Tyāga, Vairāgya, Bhakti, Jñāna, and Viveka. A practice like Pañcāmṛta—a mixture of milk, yogurt, butter, honey, and pure water—used in worship, can help purify energy and balance the chakras. Following a master's guidance can help monitor and navigate destiny, though not erase it. The aim is to realize the oneness of all consciousness. "Destiny is a line on the stone. We can't delete it." "When we realize the oneness, then there is no difference between God and us, because it's the same energy, the same space." Filming location: New York, USA

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Alexandria, Virgina, USA. Yoga is the science of body, mind and soul, blesses us with physical, mental, social health. Religion and yoga should not divide us, but should join us. There are spiritual miracles, but a yogi shouldn’t use them. Vishwaguruji reveals and explains in this lecture some secrets of Yoga. When we turn the light of knowledge (gyana) on, darkness will disappear.

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

Practicing of the system "Yoga in Daily Life", Level 3 - Part 1, in Om Vishwa Deep Gurukul Swami Maheshwaranand Ashram, Jadan, Rajasthan, India on 27th of October 2009.

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

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."

Yoga in Daily Life Class of Level 3 at Sri Devpuriji Ashram, Zagreb, Croatia, January 2011

Yoga is the science of body, mind, spirit, and soul. Every practice has a purpose. Begin by relaxing in Ānandāsana with palms up to open the chest and lower the shoulders. Legs apart relaxes the pelvis. Abdominal breathing massages organs and calms emotions. Practice always within comfort, never forcing. Pavanamuktāsana stretches the spine and stimulates digestion. Marjari Āsana mobilizes the spine; let movement guide breath into harmony. Paścimottānāsana stretches from the perineum upward, affecting the Maṇipūra Cakra. Prasārita Pādottānāsana works the inner legs and digestion. Jānu Śīrṣāsana brings the body into balance through equal practice on both sides. Mṛgāsana strengthens the knees and calms the nervous system. After postures, rest in Ānandāsana to feel the effects on circulation, breath, and consciousness. "Allow the movement to cause the air to enter and the movement to cause the air to exit. In that way, in the fastest possible manner, we remove stress." "Āsanas do not act only on the body. They are also a correction of our behavior; they act on our consciousness." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Karela, also known as bitter gourd, bitter melon or bitter squash has many beneficial effects on our health. Vegetarian cooking lesson from participants of the Yoga in Daily Life Summer seminar in Vep,Hungary 2014 Vegetarian cooking lesson with Sadhvi Umapuri

Preparing a simple, digestible vegetarian meal with Mediterranean influences. We begin a risotto by toasting raw pistachios and seasonal vegetables like cauliflower and carrots in oil. Washed rice is added. Whole cumin and coriander seeds are ground for optimal flavor and digestibility, then added with turmeric to lower the glycemic index of the white rice. Once the rice pearls, add warm water at a two-to-one ratio to rice, and a little salt. A green soup is made by boiling broccoli. A creamy salad dressing is prepared from yogurt or, for vegans, chickpea flour mixed with water and spiced with cumin, coriander, and turmeric to aid digestion. These spices, used daily in small amounts, act as antioxidants and help prevent parasites. Prepare a fresh salad with cucumbers and leaves, garnished for visual appeal. Season dressings with dissolved salt to control intake better than using crystals. Finish the soup by blending it creamy, optionally thickening it with the chickpea cream, and adding olive oil at the end to preserve its nutrients. Garnish the risotto with herbs or cheese. The meal is fresh, green, and healthful. "Jeera makes any food very easily digestible." "In this salad dressing, the salt is already dissolved, and when it comes to our tongue, we feel just enough seasoning and don’t need any more." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
