The Globe of the Self: Reflections on Ātmā, Jīva, and the One in All
0:50 - 1:52 (62 min)
Recorded on
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. "One in all and all in one."

Water Is Life
2:00 - 2:17 (17 min)
Recorded on
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." "Water is life. Life is the water." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
How did yoga begin in Czechoslovakia?
2:25 - 2:56 (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.

Recorded on
We mark 25 years of teaching Yoga in Daily Life here, a voluntary mission from an authentic Indian school. We secured our own space, now becoming a blessed ashram. We have brought yoga to schools, libraries, and communities for all ages through dedicated effort. Yoga is ancient, a science of body, mind, and soul, intertwined with Āyurveda as natural knowledge for health. It is not passive meditation but active practice for concentration and peace. Its universal message is recognized internationally. We must return to natural living, embracing yoga and Āyurveda for well-being, seeing all cultures and people as one family under God.

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. "Praṇām, namaste. Praṇām, namaste." "God bless you. God bless you." Filming location: Rajasthan, India
Only Guru Kripa can liberate us
4:10 - 5:11 (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."

Do good things and be happy
5:30 - 6:16 (46 min)
Recorded on
Bhajan is a supreme spiritual practice, singing the divine names that unite all hearts beyond language. It brings inner peace and beauty, relaxing the body and mind. Yet, the world contains both good and negative tendencies, like violence and intoxication. All religions contain happiness, but the highest path avoids harming others. Every living creature possesses and offers peace and love. A story illustrates this: a great tree, confident in its strength, was warned by a sādhu of its coming end. It doubted any man or elephant could break it. Later, the sādhu returned to find the tree fallen, destroyed not by great force but by a small, persistent agent. Do not mistake size for security or become arrogant in power. In this age, conflict is prevalent, but our essence is divine spirit. True practice is inward. Be wary of those who claim greatness while seeking material gain. The divine encompasses all dualities. "Bhajan gives us very beautiful words: Hare, Bhagavān, Kṛṣṇa, Rāma—all of them." "Don’t think that I am okay, powerful, and that I don’t want anybody else like this." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Sole Necessity of Guru's Grace
6:15 - 7:02 (47 min)
Recorded on
Guru's grace is the sole reality. Without it, nothing is possible. All life exists within a web of interconnected grace. Parents give life and inherent blessings. The community, village, and even street animals provide protection and sustenance, reflecting divine care. This interconnected life is to be respected and loved. True spiritual duty may conflict with worldly attachments, as family may not comprehend or support a deeper calling. The ultimate test of devotion reveals that no worldly relationship can sacrifice for one's spiritual path. Only the guru's unconditional grace grants the disciple peace and fulfillment. "Guru kṛpā hi kevalam. When Gurudeva’s blessing is present, then everything is possible." "Only the guru's unconditional grace grants the disciple peace and fulfillment."

How to practise mantra and kriya
7:05 - 8:14 (69 min)
Recorded on
The day is beautiful, and the work done was harmonious for body and soul. The Guru lineage is present, deserving devotion and praṇām. Modern science preserves the voices and forms of great beings, making them accessible as if present. Yet, science also creates weapons and negativity, becoming a destructive force. The essence is to cultivate the divine within, not the demonic. Today, mantra initiation was given. Mantra is not magic; it dispels fear through knowledge. The word 'mantra' means that which brings the mind to happiness and completion. Correct practice is essential. First, write the mantra exactly each day. Then pronounce it correctly. Next, chant it mentally. The fourth stage is silent, internal repetition without movement or sound. Finally, the mantra moves spontaneously within, leading to deep spiritual progress. This is the foundation for further yogic science, including Kriyā involving the chakras. Kriyā practice requires sincere commitment. A minimum practice, once daily, must not be interrupted. The energy moves through the chakras from the base to the crown. This is a pure, positive science, not a negative or tantric distortion. The practice brings quality and strength. If abandoned, the progress is lost. "First, write down your mantra. That’s called Likhita Mantra. If you do not write and pronounce it exactly, then your mantra will not be powerful." "The fourth one is called udāsī. And this udāsī means neither tongue, neither word, neither sound, nothing is pronouncing. That time, then, you know, now your mantra will begin to function."

Satsang for Holiguruji's birthday
8:20 - 9:28 (68 min)
Recorded on
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."

Yoga and health
9:35 - 10:41 (66 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The living God
13:05 - 14:03 (58 min)
Recorded on
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
14:10 - 15:04 (54 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria
Be peaceful and harmonious
15:10 - 16:03 (53 min)
Recorded on
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. "God is only one." "One in all and all in one." Filming location: Linz, Austria
Guru brings us to the liberation
16:10 - 17:02 (52 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The search for God
17:10 - 18:01 (51 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Satsang from Strilky
18:05 - 18:56 (51 min)
Recorded on
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
19:00 - 19:48 (48 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Spiritual knowledge leads to God
19:55 - 20:41 (46 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Karlovac, Croatia. Spiritual knowledge is different from worldly knowledge. Spiritual knowledge is learned from the Guru. If you live according to God's rules, at the end of your life you will reach the supreme, whatever it is called. It is similar to the way a drop of water reaches the endless ocean. All living beings are pure souls, but our own actions determine our path. Many people think they are living a good human life because they don't have the knowledge. We must be pure in body and soul. That is the first step, then comes Gurudeva. Don't talk negative things.
We are life itself
20:45 - 21:24 (39 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Guru gives us the good path
21:30 - 22:08 (38 min)
Recorded on
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."

Live as a Yogi
22:15 - 22:51 (36 min)
Recorded on
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.
