Guru brings us to the liberation
1:00 - 1:52 (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."

Be peaceful and harmonious
2:00 - 2:53 (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.
"God is only one."

Opening Address: Yoga for World Peace and Non-Violence
3:00 - 3:07 (7 min)
Yoga is a universal principle for achieving peace, beginning with inner peace. Our organization supports this conference to promote non-violence and harmony, values shared by yoga and Hindu teachings. Personal qualities like truth, compassion, and self-control are essential for this journey. We believe all religions are equal paths to one God, and yoga serves as a balancing practice for all. This conference aims to exchange ideas on using yoga's principles to foster global peace and respectful relations among diverse peoples.
"Yoga is not a religion. It represents the original balancing principle that promotes nonviolence and peacefulness."
"To achieve peace in the world, we must start by achieving inner peace ourselves."

The Path of Yoga for Universal Peace
3:15 - 3:38 (23 min)
Yoga is the universal manual for achieving peace. It is far more than physical flexibility; it is the interconnection of body, mind, and spirit, extending from the individual to all humanity and nature. Lasting peace has not been found through material wealth or political philosophies alone. Yoga, founded on non-violence, provides the path. It is a way of life that harmonizes all faiths by directing one inward to know the self. Transforming the world begins with transforming oneself. This practice requires no money and can be started immediately. By investing in yoga education and making personal practice a priority, individuals become ambassadors of peace. The collective action of many yogis can change the world.
"Yoga is the only practice that gives peace to everyone without harm, judgment, or discrimination."
"To fix the world, you must fix your mind."

A Welcome and Reflections on Divine Unity
3:45 - 4:27 (42 min)
The divine manifests as unity within diversity, and our spiritual institutions are beacons in the world. We established this new ashram in Croatia swiftly after a wish was expressed, demonstrating how life unfolds when we release doubt. This place, named for a great master, serves as a sanctuary. All authentic spiritual centers worldwide are vital, like many children bringing joy and development to a single village. There is one God with two aspects: the manifest principle appearing through the ages and the formless absolute. This unity is reflected in the duality of Śiva and Śakti within us. All forms arise from a pure source, like water evaporating from the ocean and returning as rain. Heredity shows how qualities are transmitted, yet we all share a common human essence. We encounter many teachers in life, from parents to instructors, all guiding us. True spiritual masters awaken knowledge from within. All paths ultimately lead to the same divine unity, just as a fallen leaf eventually returns to nourish its roots through nature's cycle.

Buddha
5:30 - 6:08 (38 min)
The present moment is all we truly possess. The past is gone and the future is unknown. We often worship a future good, yet life exists only now. Even eating is an act of presence; taste exists only in the mouth before swallowing. Holding prayer beads connects us to this immediate peace. Consider the example of Buddha, who sought truth with great care. He moved slowly, harming no creature, and ate only what was given. His enlightenment under the Bodhi tree symbolizes rooted presence. A true teacher guides one to this awareness, not through mere action but through genuine spiritual principle.
"The past is gone. The present is here, and what will be coming, we don’t know."
"When he was going, he was very careful, not stepping on any animals or ants."

Practice like Holy Guruji
6:10 - 7:32 (82 min)
The essential need is for the living grace and vision of the teacher. All spiritual practice is dry without the guru's darśan and mercy. The ultimate goal is to internalize this vision so it is present whenever the eyes are closed. True darśan is the feeling awakened in the heart in a sacred place, not merely a physical sight. This gathering after a difficult period is a profound blessing. The dedicated work of many has prepared this new space, which is an invitation for all to come, work, and build together in nature and peace. The current age presents challenges, but within them lies opportunity for those who follow the guru's word with faith and selfless effort.
"All of our sādhanā, everything that we do in our lives, is dry without Gurudev’s darśan and Gurudev’s mercy."

The search for God
7:40 - 8:31 (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."

We are life itself
8:35 - 9:14 (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
9:20 - 9:58 (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."

Bhajan singing from Jadan Ashram

A pilgrim's vision reveals the urgency of spiritual action. The traveler sees a form, a reminder of life's fleeting nature. Act now on what you must do, or face regret. Delay is not an option. The divine provides answers and sustains life. The true Guru's word is liberation itself. It is the final refuge and the ultimate truth. Hold firmly to that promise.

Chanting divine mantras
10:45 - 11:18 (33 min)
The supreme devotion to the Guru is the only path across the ocean of worldly existence. Without the Guru's grace, liberation is impossible. The Guru is the imperishable supreme reality, the boat of the name that carries the soul to the other shore. Service to the Satguru destroys all obstacles and reveals the inner self. He who is opposed to the Guru is the worst of all; his work remains unfulfilled. Through the Guru's compassion, the soul attains fearless self-knowledge and infinite bliss. Reciting the Guru's name is the eternal companion across all lifetimes.
"Without your grace, not even sages or saints can cross existence; the soul attains self-knowledge and becomes fearless."
"The Guru is the supreme, imperishable Brahman, of pure form and an abode of constant bliss."

Divine consciousness and Yoga Nidra
11:25 - 11:57 (32 min)
Yogic awakening transcends ordinary states of consciousness. True awakening is not merely physical alertness but an inner vigilance present even in sleep. The waking state involves external awareness, while sleep engages the body's inner healing intelligence. Dreaming operates without the sense of a separate self. A realized yogi remains awake within all these states—sleeping, dreaming, and waking. This consciousness is beyond conventional perception. Modern science and yogic science are separate; yogis perceive humanity, but humanity cannot grasp the yogis' state. This awareness is the essence of yoga nidrā, a profound relaxation where inner awakening is fully present.
"Awakening, yogic awakening, means you can sleep very deeply; it is no problem. But in that sleep, those who are yogic are also awakened inside."
"Real awakening occurs even when we are sleeping. Each and every cell, all the inner doctors—the inner physician—is doing good work."

Water Is Life
12:05 - 12:22 (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."
"Water is life. Life is the water."

Yoga and health
12:45 - 13:51 (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."

Body liberation and moksha
14:50 - 15:52 (62 min)
The pursuit of spiritual knowledge is often limited by fixed capacities and distractions. Conventional study is like a horse confined to a bow. People are like the shopper who intends to buy only bread but is drawn to everything else, illustrating our lack of focus. Many seek extraordinary powers like levitation through mere technique, but such pursuits are illusory. The physical body is a necessary vehicle, like a car, but it is not the destination. The concept of 'mind' is particularly misleading; it is unstable and cannot be controlled, though some call it high. True yoga is not about body and mind, which are transient and confusing. It is about using the body to attain liberation, mokṣa, and Brahman. One must progress through the five sheaths—annamaya, prāṇamaya, manomaya, vijñānamaya, and ānandamaya—to reach yogic science. Without a healthy body, sustained by proper nourishment, nothing can be achieved, but one must not be enslaved by it.
"Physical techniques are very important, but they will not take us further."
"Body and mind have no sense in it. And if you are saying body and mind, then both are wrong."

We need purity in our minds and souls
18:05 - 18:59 (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."

Spiritual knowledge leads to God
19:05 - 19:51 (46 min)
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.

The Globe of the Self: Reflections on Ātmā, Jīva, and the One in All
22:15 - 23:17 (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.

Yoga is beyond everything
23:25 - 0:21 (56 min)
Yoga originates from Śiva and is beyond mere exercise. Śiva manifested the postures by observing all creation, including animals and elements. He provided 84 key postures for health and happiness. The entire cosmos, including the sun and moon, is an expression of Śiva's energy. Śiva is not a physical form but the universal principle, with thousands of names venerating this truth. The ages cycle, and we are in Kali Yuga. Human life is a precious opportunity to cultivate peace and harmony through right living. A story illustrates devotion: Viṣṇu sought blessings by offering a thousand flowers to Śiva in prolonged worship. True yoga is the union with the divine principle within. Practice meditation, maintain good health, and extend goodwill to all beings. Live with spiritual discipline, for life is fleeting. Do not reduce yoga to simple exercise; it is the path to realizing Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva within.
"Yoga comes from Śiva. Śiva brought sitting in the postures, and he was feeling very great."
