Satsang for Holiguruji's birthday
0:05 - 1:13 (68 min)
Our destiny, or kismat, is shaped by past, present, and future, governed by cosmic law. The positions of the moon and sun create different constellations, making a day good for one person and bad for another. Jyotiṣ calculates these influences, focusing on the moon, which affects our experiences. Our origin is not from our parents alone but traces back through elements to space and ultimately to God. However, God's grant of freedom is overseen by Dharmarāja, who ensures every detail of our destiny from past lives is accounted for before we are sent forth. Even divine figures like Rāma and Kṛṣṇa endured suffering dictated by their kismat. A jyotiṣī can assess this destiny by examining one's birth details and even the land for a house, seeing imbalances that lead to future troubles. We may believe we have free will, but God holds the final key. Great saints like Ramakrishna accepted their destined suffering rather than avoid it, understanding that escaping it would only postpone the inevitable. Therefore, we must remain humble and perform selfless service, recognizing that our unseen destiny is always in motion.
"God sent us, but it is said, no. First, they gave everything. They came and they cleaned it all up."
"My dear, kismat will not let anyone free. So, something which is in your luck, you will get that."

How to practise mantra and kriya
1:20 - 2:29 (69 min)
The path of mantra and kriyā is a practical yogic science. We received mantra initiation, which is not magic but a disciplined practice. First, write your mantra exactly each day; this is Likhita Japa. Then, pronounce it correctly, as mispronunciation changes meaning. Next, chant it mentally, then reach Udāsī, where it is silent within. Finally, it becomes Ajapa, flowing spontaneously with the breath. This process purifies the mind. Similarly, Kriyā is the science of inner energy. Practice involves guiding breath through the chakras from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra, a minimum of 27 minutes daily without interruption. This is not a miracle but a systematic sādhanā. Do not teach these techniques lightly, as they require personal commitment and purity. Avoid fear and ignorance; instead, cultivate alertness and knowledge. True practice brings quality and joy, distinct from distorted teachings.
"First, write down your mantra. That is called Likhita Mantra. If you do not write and pronounce it exactly, then your mantra will not be powerful."

The Globe of the Self: Reflections on Ātmā, Jīva, and the One in All
2:35 - 3:37 (62 min)
The self is a globe containing all life and consciousness. We exist within this one sphere, yet we are both individual and universal. The science of spirit awakens us to this reality. We are the jīva, the living soul, within the body, but we are also the all-pervading ātmā. We travel and expand in life, yet we always return to the source. We meditate to find where we truly are, beyond physical location. The elements of the world come together to form existence. The Vedas contain this knowledge, but reading them is not easy. Life cycles continue, with beings taking birth again. There is a yogic science and a worldly science; both function but approach truth differently. Energy, or prāṇa, flows between beings and can be directed. Confidence in the self is key. Ultimately, we must realize the teaching of oneness: the individual is in the whole, and the whole is in the individual.
"One in all and all in one."
"Śrīguru ātmā, paramātmā."

Concentration onn the navel

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Some activities we should do constantly every day. Bhajan singing. Concentration on the navel.
We can go altogether to God
4:40 - 5:25 (45 min)
The terms student, teacher, and master describe the same essential relationship. Everyone is a student learning from a master. The word 'guru' is simply our term for this. Students come from all directions—east, west, north, south—but all paths descend to the same summit. Do not criticize another's teacher. However, many now study extensively yet diverge, learning everything except spirituality. They may be lost, not knowing God. Formal study is not the sole path. A story tells of two brothers: one studied extensively, while the other lived simply by a river, performing pūjā for Śiva with only a mantra. The educated brother came to instruct him on proper ritual. As the elder prepared to leave, the younger brother, having forgotten a point, walked on water to reach him. The learned brother realized, "I learned everything, but I could not walk on water." I respect all learning and science. We need both medicine and spirituality. Yet we must remember our humanity. Upon waking, declare "I am human" and resolve not to kill. Honor the earth as your mother. We are like a single drop and the vast ocean—they are the same. All religions and people will ultimately merge into one. Do not cling to divisions. Give love to everybody.

Bharat Is The Holy Land
5:30 - 6:16 (46 min)
Bhārat is the holy land because divine incarnations and countless sages manifested here. Its soil is sacred, making spiritual practice here uniquely potent. The ṛṣis of Bhārat are the fathers of all mankind, having given the world spirituality, yoga, science, and medicine. We are all one family of the one God, meant to live in love and respect. Our purpose is to realize this oneness, the light of Brahman within all. Spiritual practice on this soil accelerates this realization. Your own energy, positive or negative, influences others like a magnet. We all seek a pure, divine love that flows without expectation or rejection. True saints embody this love, wishing happiness for all. We must prepare our hearts to receive this boundless blessing.

Pranayama and spirituality
6:20 - 7:04 (44 min)
Evening satsang from Summer Retreat in Vep, Hungary. Aim of the human life is to reach Self-realization. Vishwaguruji tells us what is going on in the system of nadis when a yogi enters into the highest state of consciousness.
We must now go further
7:05 - 7:34 (29 min)
To progress, integrate spiritual practice into daily life with devotion.
Holī Gurujī said having children is important for progress; be good to them. Practice is not just for gatherings but must continue at home with your family through prayer and pūjā. You must learn and practice consistently, not only for a few days. The recent years made group practice difficult, but many continued individually. During the pandemic, our yoga practitioners largely remained healthy due to clean living and practice, though we must stay careful. My work has spread yoga widely, creating a community like a flowering tree. A devoted disciple of Mahāprabhujī recently passed, demonstrating ideal devotion by consciously leaving for his guru. We must aspire to such steadfast practice and devotion until our final moments, merging with the divine.
"Your families are all yoga, our yoga. Then it is very good; you can do it at home too."
"I told you always, that until the last, until the last time, when you will be in your guru and in your sādhanā, then in the last minutes, then you will go as into Paramatmā."

Follow the path faithfully
8:30 - 9:07 (37 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. During last year people could practise yoga individually. Meditation without mala and mantra is not good. We should follow our path. There are many paths but all comes together. Every creature have a path and they know that God has given them everything. Our yoga path is very clear. God gave everything to humans but we lost it. God is sitting in us. We should become one with God. We are human but we completely confused and don't know clearly our path. Mantra is very important which is always with us and show our path
How did yoga begin in Czechoslovakia?
9:15 - 9:46 (31 min)
Understand the meaning within the bhajan, not just its sound. If you know the meaning, it becomes a reality in your heart and mind. When I first arrived, people did not truly understand yoga or the bhajans. We sang to each other without comprehension. The authorities were curious but generally permissive, valuing yoga for health. I recall a cold winter journey through Czechoslovakia, sharing tea and bread with students late into the night, always welcomed despite police formalities. The environment was safe and sincere. The only rules given to me were to avoid moving currency, religious discourse, and politics—principles that align naturally with a yogi's life. Practice grew steadily from small groups. The focus was always on health and harmony, free from politics or dogma.
"Because if we can’t understand—okay, good melodies, okay—this is a bhajan in Sanskrit or in Hindi or something. But if we know exactly what it means, then we have in our heart, in our brain, in our mind, it is the reality."
"And so I said, 'But what should I not do?'... Don’t take anything out of our country’s movable money, gold, some letters, etc... No talking, religious. Be as it is... and not any politics."

Respect the life of other creatures
9:50 - 10:38 (48 min)
Satsaṅg is the gathering in truth, and its essence is universal compassion for all living beings.
'Sat' means truth, peace, and harmony. We are all in satsaṅg now, together. All creatures possess the same soul, the same ātmā, given by God. We are like passengers on one ship or one aeroplane; our fates are shared. In nature, one creature eats another, but humans have been given a higher responsibility by the Paramātmā. Great teachers and deities have taught that we should not kill creatures. We should not eat them. In this Kali Yuga, there is much unnecessary killing, which creates a cycle of violence. It does not matter what country you are from; the principle is the same. We must love and protect all life, including animals in our homes. Some people practice yoga but do not speak against alcohol and meat; we must speak. Our human nature should be one of non-violence. If we knowingly cause harm, we must seek forgiveness. We must return to the principles of Sanātana Dharma, living together in truth and peace.

Practise and think positive
10:45 - 11:17 (32 min)
The soul's journey is from creation to liberation, moving beyond heaven and hell to merge with the Supreme.
All beings exist in water, earth, and sky. Humans are given a unique capacity to know. It is said we originate from God and return to the Supreme Reality, Parabrahman, not merely to heaven or hell. Our true nature is vast, like a drop from the ocean. Judging others as 'not good' first indicates our own impurity; the tongue creates negativity. To clear the heart, offer peace and good words instead of conflict. Our spiritual practice, or sādhanā, purifies us daily, like washing a dirty garment. True renunciation, as seen in some sādhus, involves profound sacrifice, but such intense tapasyā is difficult. Many paths and teachers exist, each offering guidance. Ultimately, through yoga and devotion, the aim is to realize our divine essence and merge with the Supreme, beyond all dualities.

How did Yoga in Daily Life begin in Europe?
11:25 - 12:07 (42 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. When Vishwaguruji in his young age first time arrived in Europe very few people heard about yoga and many people ate meat. At that time Vishwaguruji went back to India. But some Austrian people invite him again to come to Europe. The story of Vishwaguruji's first visit tö Czechoslovakia. Many Czech people are with Vishwaguruji from that time till now. The story of a grandmother in Czechoslovakia who didn't want that her grandchild becomes a vegetarian. Satsang bhajans and prayer were also very new for people at that time. We have to take care of our family. At that time people prayed before eating but now they do not.

Eat healthy food and live as a human
13:00 - 13:43 (43 min)
The simplicity of spiritual practice lies in daily remembrance and conscious living.
Historically, people across faiths integrated prayer into daily life, like family meals. Now, such observance has declined, correlating with modern negativity. Dietary choices reflect this shift; some move away from traditional vegetarianism, while others adopt veganism from compassion for animals. Health requires mindful eating and periodic fasting, not constant consumption. Simple morning affirmations ground us: acknowledge your humanity, honor Mother Earth, and revere water as life. Modern challenges like pollution and industrial agriculture show our disconnection from these elements. Returning to conscious basics fosters well-being.

Introduction of the Strilky Ashram
13:50 - 13:59 (9 min)
This sacred grove is a place of satsaṅg, established through great effort, where one must enter with clean hands and feet and without shoes. It is a beautiful, peaceful forest for prayer. Our ashram is a holy place where many have lived peacefully, having given up things like meat and alcohol. Devotees from around the world come, though some stay only briefly. This path led to the rediscovery of the ancient principle of Alak Purījī, connected to Śiva. After the era of Śiva and Shakti, Pārvatī arose, though she was initially unaware.
"This is our satsaṅg, our samāj. This is what we are for everyone."
"Anytime, if you desire something... you should come to this place and pray with our mantra. Everything will return to peace and harmony."

Live as a Yogi
15:20 - 15:56 (36 min)
We must return to a natural, yogic life to restore health and longevity. Our modern habits, especially constant eating and processed food, cause disease. While doctors and medicine have value, an over-reliance on chemicals harms us. True health comes from harmony with nature, like our ancestors who ate naturally, worked physically, and lived simply. Their routines supported long life. Our body itself is sacred; it is our primary religion. We must care for it through disciplined practice, proper nourishment, and respect for the elements like water. Become a yogi by dedicating yourself to this bodily temple. Do not confuse this with changing your faith, but make your body's well-being your central devotion. Practice consistently, avoid harmful habits, and listen to your inner self. Our collective aim is for all humanity to be healthy, peaceful, and long-lived.
"The best medicine is often found in our grandmothers' kitchens."
"Our religion is our body. Yes. What is inside? Our ātmā, our soul, whatever you wish to call it. That is our religion of our bodies."

Unity in spirituality
20:25 - 21:08 (43 min)
This is a time of global celebration and unity under one God. My mission, given by the highest God through my master, is to unite all religions and spiritual paths without dualism. Everything is one. I reflect on the difficult life of Jesus and Mother Mary, emphasizing their message that God is merciful for all. The core problem is human ego and conflict between religions, while true religion is realizing your relation to God. I spread the message of yoga worldwide, having taught even in communist countries where it was challenging. Yoga is the science of humans. Creation began from consciousness and space, with the principle "I am one, and I will multiply." Despite divine messages, humans have created confusion, fighting, and even kill contrary to teachings. People everywhere are fundamentally good; no country or people are bad. We are all one, like drops returning to the ocean. We should forgive, avoid anger and negativity, and seek light, immortality, and oneness.
"Meine Mission oder meine Aufgabe von dem höheren und höchsten Gott, durch meinen Meister, einen Botschaften, ohne irgendwelchen Dualismus, alle Religionen, alle spirituellen Organisationen, etc., alles ist eins."

Atmadarshan
21:15 - 21:57 (42 min)
The vision of the Guru is the highest wealth. Our perception shapes our reality. A good vision, like seeing nature or loved ones, creates happiness and respect. A negative vision creates fear. This principle applies to how we present ourselves; clean dress and behavior are for others' happiness, not ego. When eyes meet in friendship, it blossoms into joy. This divine feeling resides in the heart. We extend this to all beings, even seeing the sacred in a cobra on its holy day. The true Guru's vision is not of the perishable body but the endless Guru principle within all. This Guru Tattva is beyond the Vedas' limit. Beware of gurus displaying miraculous powers, for that is the deceptive māyā that binds. True grace is Siddha Bāṇī—blessing through word, not spectacle. Having the Guru's vision fulfills all pilgrimages and awakens one's fortune. I lack strength, but the merciful Lord completes the good. My salutation is to that Satguru, seeking liberation from all karmic bondage.
"Jasī dṛṣṭi, vasī sṛṣṭi." The creation corresponds to your perception.
"Māyā mahā thaganī, hum jānī re... Triguna phāsa liyā karadole." Māyā is the great cheater, binding with the three guṇas.

Only Guru Kripa can liberate us
22:05 - 23:06 (61 min)
Spiritual development is a universal journey guided by grace. We all seek the Cosmic Self, navigating between good and bad, often lost without a guide. The Guru's blessing is the key. A story illustrates this: three pilgrims traveled far to see the holy Ganges. A sage advised them to only accept food from those who had been there. Nearing their goal, they stayed with a sādhu who confessed he had never visited the river, breaking their vow. That night, three divine sisters—Gaṅgā, Yamunā, and Sarasvatī—appeared. They explained they carry humanity's sins, becoming black and burdened. They clean themselves through service at the Guru's feet, becoming pure and white. The pilgrims realized true purification comes not from a river, but from the Guru's presence. All holy places grant blessings, but ultimate clarity comes only through Guru's grace.
"Wherever you stay overnight, in a village, city, or forest, you should eat and drink only in the house of those who have gone to the Gaṅgā."
