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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
We can go altogether to God
2:10 - 2:55 (45 min)
Recorded on
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. "Students come from all directions—east, west, north, south—but all paths descend to the same summit." "I learned everything, but I could not walk on water." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Around The World - Vegetarianism and top sport, Part 1
3:00 - 3:24 (24 min)
Recorded on
Vegetarianism is fully compatible with elite athletic performance when the diet is properly planned. Our primary reason is non-injury, but the diet also supports robust health. A proper vegetarian diet improves health generally, though any diet can be done poorly. For athletes, food must provide energy without causing digestive burden. The foundation is quality, organic ingredients, but cooking method is critical; poor preparation ruins good food. Key components include whole-grain carbohydrates for energy and easily digestible proteins like tofu and legumes. Spices are essential as flavor and medicine; turmeric aids protein absorption and reduces inflammation, while cumin aids legume digestion. Use fresh, hand-ground herbs like oregano and basil to enhance flavor and digestion. Base your diet on traditional, local foods like fava beans for better digestibility. A complete athletic diet includes dairy for vitamins like B12, all vegetables, fruits, healthy fats like olive oil, and ghee for mental and physical energy. This approach breaks the taboo that vegetarians lack strength. "Generally, everyone's health improves if they eat properly in a vegetarian way." "Turmeric also facilitates protein absorption from legumes and helps remove uric acid from the body." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

How to practise mantra and kriya
4:15 - 5:24 (69 min)
Recorded on
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." "Practice involves guiding breath through the chakras... a minimum of 27 minutes daily without interruption. This is not a miracle but a systematic sādhanā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing. We have to understand out heart. We should concentrate on our heart three times per day.

The reality is within you
5:25 - 6:02 (37 min)
Recorded on
The spiritual path requires unwavering discipline and grace, not transient seeking. A governor prioritized a blessing over lunch, knowing his breath was uncertain. This illustrates that spiritual practice must never be missed. Many seek quick liberation, but this yields nothing. True yoga is a complete human science, not merely physical postures. Success comes from steadfast practice and the grace of one guru, akin to having only one mother and father. Spiritual realization ends criticism; we respect all paths, understanding the oneness of all beings like drops returning to the ocean. Discipline is essential, especially within family life. Practice without competition, according to your capacity. The soul is like a flame; we must protect and nurture this inner light, as it alone continues beyond the body. Authentic teachings, like unchanged bhajans, guide us. Work inwardly, for external attachments are fleeting. Practice sincerely within your own faith, fostering peace and inner awareness. "Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam. As long as you have the mercy, the Kṛpā, of Gurudeva, you will be on the good path." "One in all and all in one." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Vrittis - Waves Of Thought
6:05 - 7:04 (59 min)
Recorded on
Yoga in Daily Life summer seminar, Vep, Hungary. The mind is the cause of pain, suffering and all the problems. Vrittis are disturbances which arises from our mind. There are two categories, the Klishta Vrittis and the Aklishta Vrittis. Klishta is that which gives pain; Aklishta is that which does not give pain. Klishta Vritti is a function of the mind which gives perpetual sorrow everyday, and an Aklishta Vritti is a function of the mind which does not directly give pain, but is there like a chronic illness. Through certain Yoga practices we are able to control our mind and we will achieve mental strength.

Respect the life of other creatures
8:55 - 9:43 (48 min)
Recorded on
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.

Eat healthy food and live as a human
9:50 - 10:33 (43 min)
Recorded on
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. "First, when we open our eyes, then tell, 'I am human.'" "Water is life... Water is God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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
Live as a Yogi
12:15 - 12:51 (36 min)
Recorded on
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?

Practise and think positive
12:55 - 13:27 (32 min)
Recorded on
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. "If I tell about someone else that they are not good, it means first, I am not good." "When you were born, you brought it, and when you will go, your hand is open, nothing is there."

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."

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Purifying Path of Haṭha Yoga: An Introduction to Ṣaṭkarma
18:00 - 18:47 (47 min)
Recorded on
Haṭha Yoga's essence is the six purification techniques, or Ṣaṭkarma, for cleansing the body and balancing energy. Our polluted modern environment necessitates these natural cleansings using water, salt, and air. These practices purify the physical system and uniquely influence the vegetative nervous system, which is typically beyond our control. The goal is to balance the Iḍā and Piṅgalā energy channels, allowing the central Suṣumnā to flow. This mastery brings many benefits, fostering willpower and overcoming inertia. Regular purification, especially during seasonal changes, removes metabolic waste that causes illness and stagnation, keeping energy flowing. Specific techniques like Netī cleanse the nasal passages, while Agni Sāra and Naulī stoke the digestive fire. These are potent tools that require proper guidance from an experienced teacher regarding the correct method and timing. "Haṭha Yoga is not only that we clean and purify our whole system, our whole body, but it also has a great, very great effect on our nervous system, especially the vegetative nervous system." "When they are balanced, then the third one, the Suṣumnā Nāḍī, will start to flow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

You are the spiritual teacher. It is very much time now that all of you should know that you are the teacher. You are here not only for practicing and learning yoga; you have to give it further. You should take villages and teach. You can teach only one person. Guru means teacher. You are all teachers, which means you are gurus. To make this world harmonious again with peace and spirituality, all humans should be like brothers and sisters. We bring something good to be good people. You learned spiritually good things, not negative. We are clean. Always think of your body. The first thing is nourishment. Nature is the mother. Make a salad with many leaves, vegetables, and seeds like pumpkin and sesame. Lightly fry the seeds and season them. Include black seed and black pepper to clean the intestines. Eat this with bread or chapati and soup. Avoid white sugar, as it causes disease. Use alternatives like gur or honey. Alcohol is very harmful, but if taken, only one teaspoon before sleep. My experiment with nourishment is great. I had difficulties, but now I have no disease. You are all yogis, and health is through yoga. "Now, it is you. I am already old. I can come and sit with you, and that’s it. But you will now bring it to the whole world." "The first thing is nourishment. Only nourishment." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Only Guru Kripa can liberate us
22:05 - 23:06 (61 min)
Recorded on
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." "We take all this dust, everything negative; it comes upon us... we go to the Gurujī's cottage... we do the seva... We become very white, beautiful, and we take dust from Gurujī's feet."
