Yoga and health
0:35 - 1:41 (66 min)
The essence of a yogic life integrates body, breath, and mindful living.
Care for the body through exercise and yoga; neglect brings illness and suffering. Movement is vital, but excess is harmful. Practice moderation. Breath work and meditation nourish the lungs and system. Diet is crucial; consuming meat introduces impurities and disease. Familial ailments can be addressed through lifelong prāṇāyāma. Simple yogic techniques, like using water on the face and nostrils, awaken the body's cells and promote health. The goal is a long, happy life. Householders who work and maintain stable families are great yogīs, providing essential support. Spiritual practice is for everyone, not just ascetics. True yoga brings health, peace, and understanding.
"Movement is very important. Meditation, breath exercises—what we call playing with the breath—are vital."
"Either do not have children, or if you do, the children should have one father and mother in oneness."

Satsang for Holiguruji's birthday
1:45 - 2:53 (68 min)
The constellations and celestial movements determine the quality of our days, creating differences in fortune for each individual. This influence stems from the precise moment of birth, a time calculated by astrology. Our destiny, or kismat, is not a matter of present choice but is carried from past lives, recorded by Dharmarāja and presented to God. Even divine incarnations must submit to their preordained suffering. Therefore, human life is a turning circle of prewritten joy and sorrow, where one's lot is fixed. The wise understand this and remain humble, performing selfless service.
"Something which is in your luck, you will get that."
"Kismat will not let anyone free."

Around the world - Practice in Ukraine
3:00 - 3:50 (50 min)
Begin the practice of āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Close the eyes and attune to the practice. Scan and relax the entire body. Observe the complete yogic breath. The first āsana is Ānanda Āsana, the posture of relaxation. Lie down comfortably and consciously relax each part of the body. Physical relaxation leads to spiritual relaxation. This posture must be performed at the beginning and end of every session. Next, train in abdominal breathing by placing a hand on the abdomen and observing its movement. Conscious abdominal breathing leads to relaxation and improves circulation. Practice stretching the body by extending the limbs in rhythm with the breath. This releases accumulated tension. Perform head turns and twists while lying down to increase spinal mobility and harmonize the breath. Always observe the effect of each exercise. Move through shoulder exercises while standing to relax and strengthen the joints. Shift body weight from leg to leg to strengthen muscles and improve balance. Conclude by returning to Ānanda Āsana. Scan the body and observe the deepening relaxation. Gradually conclude the practice by moving the fingers and toes. Rise carefully, always moving from lying down through a transitional seated position.

The search for God
3:55 - 4:46 (51 min)
True seeing and yoga are not found in external vision or closed-eye meditation alone. People close their eyes to seek God far away, yet God is present. Real yogis find the divine within the heart. With open eyes, the world's reflections are many and distracting, making single-pointed vision difficult. Neither open nor closed eyes alone suffice, as both states bring distraction or restless thought. Common yoga practice often becomes mere relaxation or sleep, missing the reality. Spiritual progress requires a guru, as a child requires a mother. Self-sufficiency in this path is impossible.
"if we want to hear and see God, if you want to see God, then keep your eyes open."
"yogīs actually do not sleep the way we do. They are awake."

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.

Love is unity
5:30 - 6:09 (39 min)
The connection between guru and disciple transcends physical distance through modern technology, which acts as a conduit for spiritual science. The true guru is not defined by external forms like robes, which symbolize one's inner path, but by the deep heart connection. Spiritual practice is about inner unity and love, not external differences. Ancient teachings, like those of Shiva, reveal a fundamental oneness beyond duality, where apparent opposites are reconciled into peace. The essence is to find the divine within, beyond all form and story.
"Many, many bhaktas, they don’t know me, but they have become great."
"This is the real guru."

Yoga and nature is one
6:35 - 7:02 (27 min)
Yoga is the science of humans and a natural way of life. Its first principle is vegetation, which is Āyurveda, an ancient medicine from the Yugas. Modern medicine, while life-saving, is chemical and not fully accepted by the natural body, unlike remedies from plants. Our way of eating has been lost, and white sugar is a major cause of disease. The tongue enslaves us to taste, leading to illness. Āyurveda encompasses diet and was once so advanced it included surgeries like those on the brain. Yoga is not acrobatics; it is a scientific system for a long, healthy life. Many practice it incorrectly, which can cause harm. True yoga involves physical exercise, breathing, concentration, and meditation. We are all God, and our actions determine our fate. The practice should be shared freely for community health.
"Yoga is the science of humans. Yoga is a natural way of life."

The Globe of the Self: Reflections on Ātmā, Jīva, and the One in All
8:15 - 9:17 (62 min)
The principle is one in all and all in one. This science of the soul encompasses the entire globe and all life within it. The individual soul, or jīva, resides within the body, yet its nature and destination remain unknown. The self expands and contracts, traveling yet always returning. Meditation reveals this paradox: one sits in a specific place yet the mind travels elsewhere. The aim is to touch the ātmā, the true self, which is not confined to the heart but is the entirety of the body's intelligence. Both yogic science and worldly science operate, but worldly science does not know the Brahman it approaches. Energy, or prāṇa, flows between beings and can be directed. True confidence and prayer arise from the immense ocean of energy within. The path is one of purity, where all distinctions dissolve into the single truth.

Only Guru Kripa can liberate us
9:25 - 10:26 (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."
"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."

The living God
10:30 - 11:28 (58 min)
Evening satsang from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Science is developing, which is good. Yoga is the science of the human being.The story of the professor who met a yogi while walking in the park. Where can we find God? Have you seen God? According to the teachings of Sanatana Dharma and Yoga, God lives here among us. Everyone has seen God. Each and every one of us is the living God, just like the ocean water is present in the raindrop. The same life is in all living beings. That is why we should not kill animals.
We need purity in our minds and souls
11:35 - 12:29 (54 min)
We live in two ways: our worldly life and our spiritual life. The spiritual seed within grows continuously. We are all searching for God, who is in everyone and every creature, even a mosquito. All life is God, including the elements like water. A single drop of water becomes the ocean. Similarly, in meditation, our individual self merges into the cosmic whole, like a drop returning to the ocean. Science and spirituality are both great, but they differ. Scientists die and do not return, while great yogis can exist beyond the body. Our goal is purification through daily practice. When life leaves the body, there is only one path for all, regardless of religion. Honor your mother and father as God. Everyone who teaches you is a guru. You must walk the path yourself.
"Not only humans—each and every creature is God. A living little mosquito, yes, a mosquito also has life inside, and that is God."
"A single drop of water becomes the whole ocean. This drop immerses in the whole ocean."

Be peaceful and harmonious
12:35 - 13:28 (53 min)
The oneness of all life is the fundamental reality.
All beings are interconnected. The divine essence is singular, whether called God, Brahman, or another name. This unity is observed in nature. Animals, from large herds to tiny ants, live in harmony and community. Humans possess a higher capacity but often misuse it through violence and separation. The elements—sun, moon, water—sustain all life, not just humanity. A human life is a sacred opportunity. One must nurture it with purity, non-violence, and love, as a parent nurtures a child. All distinctions of name, country, and religion are ultimately superficial. The goal is to realize the cosmic Self, where the individual drop merges into the universal ocean. This is the state of Parabrahman, beyond all form.

Guru brings us to the liberation
13:35 - 14:27 (52 min)
The spiritual power of early morning is essential for health and liberation.
Waking before sunrise is a profound spiritual practice. Great beings advise against eating after sunset and emphasize rising before the sun. The predawn humidity on grass is considered Amṛta, a sustaining nectar. Walking barefoot on this morning dew for a few minutes can alleviate many ailments. Modern life, with late sleep schedules, creates laziness and prevents this. Go to sleep early, a few hours after sunset. All of nature, including flowers and animals, awakens with this early energy. A story illustrates the bondage of worldly attachment. A farmer, blessed with a son by a sādhu, becomes too attached to his family to seek liberation. Through many lifetimes—as a cow, a dog, and a cobra—he remains bound. Finally, through the guru's grace, he is reborn as a bee in a lotus offered to the Divine, achieving liberation. The persistent guru ultimately guides the soul to freedom. Connect with this morning energy by walking barefoot on wet grass or stones to absorb its power.
"To see the early morning before the sun is one of the best spiritual thoughts."
"When the real guru is there, not this life, next life, it will bring him to liberation."

Satsang from Strilky
14:35 - 15:26 (51 min)
The practice of Bārikatu Praṇām is a renewal of intention through specific anatomical movements. Each repetition is not the same but a new engagement of joints, breath, and internal state. This is an anatomical approach beyond typical yoga postures, integrating body, feeling, and social being. The gathering focuses on human essence, not religion or culture. Those considering monastic life must be mature and self-sufficient, with familial consent and personal resources. Maintain distance and proceed orderly.
"These 27 movements may appear similar upon repetition, but it is not merely a second time; it is different."
"Here, nobody thinks about religion, culture, or countries, but about being human."

Memories and experiences on the yoga path
15:30 - 16:18 (48 min)
A spiritual journey unfolds through grace, duty, and unwavering connection to the Master. Returning after twelve difficult years abroad brings profound gratitude. The path began with a mantra initiation decades ago. Guidance came to help establish an ashram, leading to the first yoga class in a home in 1999. Teaching has continued and grown since that time, offering something unique that students recognize as authentic. The Master embodies perfect completeness, and His divine aura provides unmatched wisdom. The path is safe; one must not stop walking it even through storms, standing firm like a deeply rooted tree. Life presents contrasting experiences—from a dharmic childhood to a materialistic society—all as lessons. The core instruction is to maintain dharma, to do the right thing in all circumstances, drawing strength from scripture even when facing loss. A profound devotion was realized in a moment of selfless offering to the Guru.
"Every moment in His presence, we dive into His Divine Aura and receive wisdom found nowhere else."
"The real hero is the one who, even while doing the right thing, loses."

We are life itself
16:25 - 17:04 (39 min)
Life is sacred and permeates all existence.
Spiritual atmosphere is present everywhere through guides and sacred images. The Himalayas and places like Mount Kailāśa hold this essence. The entire Earth is alive; even soil teems with unseen life. Our own body is not a single entity but contains multitudes of living beings within its parts. All elements—water, stone, air—are manifestations of life. Desire acts like a balloon, lifting us but ultimately pulling us back to earthly cycles. True transcendence means going beyond everything and not returning. Spiritual practice requires patient, steady effort without force, like a mother cow yielding milk. The goal is to realize our fundamental unity, like melting separate gold ornaments into one.
"Everything on this Earth is alive. The whole Earth, even what we cannot see, has life inside."
"Where will we go? No feeling of the cold. No fire you can feel, no elements you can feel, so don’t worry."

Guru gives us the good path
17:10 - 17:48 (38 min)
The spiritual path requires following a true guide through the transitional age.
We are in Kali Yuga, a dark age nearing its end. Śiva balances all forces, working to harmonize and avert disaster, guiding beings toward a coming Satya Yuga of holiness. The true guru, like a mother, provides the correct path and blessings. You must follow that given path without distraction or switching guides. Many techniques exist, from physical science to spiritual discipleship. Karma yoga involves understanding all actions and life circumstances. Jyotiṣ, the science of astrology, is presented as a critical knowledge revealing the timing of all events, including one's death. The key is to go deeply, beyond mere physical practice, and stay on the assigned path toward oneness.
"Śiva is giving blessings and controlling everything for all: the ṛṣis, the yogīs, the spiritual ones, and also others."
"So without jyotiṣ, no one can go further."

Follow the path faithfully
17:55 - 18:32 (37 min)
The spiritual path requires a defined practice to avoid being lost. Separation from the herd occurs without a mantra or mala for guidance. Many religions and paths exist, each valid for its followers. Ultimately, all paths converge like individual raindrops forming a stream that reaches the ocean. Every creature, from humans to ants, possesses innate, God-given knowledge of its way. The human form offers a unique awareness of the journey. Yoga transcends physical exercise; it is a clear path requiring the foundational guidance of a mantra from the Guru to know how to proceed.
"Suddenly, with no mantra, no mālā, they are lost. It is like one deer separated from the herd, running here and there, finding nothing."
"All comes together, like when rain comes from the clouds. There is one drop of water, so all is one drop by drop."

Live as a Yogi
18:40 - 19:16 (36 min)
A yogic life honors the body as divine through natural nourishment and disciplined practice.
Modern disease arises from unnatural living, improper eating, and environmental harm. While doctors are a boon, true health returns to the natural way, like nourishment from a grandmother's kitchen. Constant eating and artificial habits shorten life. Past generations lived long through natural sustenance. The body is our temple and primary religion. One must live with consistency, avoiding contradictions like practicing yoga then consuming harmful substances. Begin each day mindfully, acknowledging our human form and connection to elements like water. The aim is for all to become yogis—healthy, peaceful, and devoted to the living God within this body.

How did yoga begin in Czechoslovakia?
19:20 - 19:51 (31 min)
Understand the meaning within devotional song. Concentrate not only on the sound but on its significance. Knowing the meaning makes the song a reality within the heart and mind. Initially, many did not understand yoga or these songs. People sang without comprehension, and the songs were sung without their understanding. Authorities were present, monitoring. The practice grew from small groups to hundreds over successive visits. Gatherings were held in simple, natural settings like forest chalets, with shared food and song late into the night. Travel was challenging, with winter journeys involving multiple cars and stops for tea. Official interactions occurred, with visits to police stations for routine checks. Specific rules were given: do not remove or bring in movable wealth, avoid religious discourse, and engage in no politics. These rules aligned with a yogi's natural disinterest in such matters. The focus remained solely on health and well-being through practice, without politics or religion. The atmosphere was one of happiness and relaxation.

Water Is Life
19:55 - 20:12 (17 min)
Water is divine essence and life itself. Where water exists, divinity is present. It constitutes our physical form and emotional expressions, like tears of sorrow or joy. Without water, the body fails and disease follows. It flows within our nerves and blood. The ocean's salt is vital, and its evaporation forms clouds that bring rain, sustaining all life. Yogis harness this essence through breath. Human pollution has contaminated many water sources, yet nature's cycle continues to purify it. Our existence is fundamentally aqueous; every cell requires this stream. Life is inseparable from water.
"Where there is water, there is God. Where there is God, there is water."

Vegetarian cooking lesson 4, Vegetable Soup
21:00 - 21:23 (23 min)
Preparing a simple, shared meal can be a bridge to understanding. This lentil soup is chosen for its ease and broad appeal. Begin by soaking the lentils, then sifting and washing them. Heat olive oil gently, then remove from heat to add herbs like basil and oregano, preventing burning. Add paprika only once the oil cools slightly to avoid bitterness. Combine lentils with water and bring to a boil. Prepare vegetables—carrot, parsley root, onion, tomato, and green pepper—cutting them thoughtfully for those who will eat. Add vegetables to the pot, ensuring water covers them, and simmer until everything is soft. Taste for salt, using a clean spoon, and adjust water as needed. Serve simply. This dish, especially when cooked outdoors, often delights even those unfamiliar with vegetarian food, creating a shared, appreciative experience.
"If we want our family to enjoy vegetarian food, we can pay attention to these small details."
