Bhajan singing from Jadan Ashram

Recorded on
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. "Whatever you have to do, do it. Otherwise, you will regret it." "The Guru's word is liberation. The Guru's word is liberation." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Parabrahma Paramatma is behind the Moon and the Sun
0:50 - 1:17 (27 min)
Recorded on
The true guru guides the journey beyond form to the absolute. Many speak of heaven, but such states are not final; beings cycle through realms, including animal forms. True progress is like water evaporating from the ocean to form pure clouds, representing a refined state. That purity is accessed through true satsang. The real Satguru is a pure manifestation beyond Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, never speaking negatively. Bhagavān Śrī Devapurījī is that light, identified with the sun and existing beyond it, guiding beings to Parabrahman. He cannot be captured in a photo; to see him is to see the sun. Religion is a human construct. The ātmā is equal in all beings, from humans to ants. The body is temporary; the Self departs. The true guru gives only purity, enabling passage through the sun to Parabrahman. "Devapurījī said, 'If you want to see me like a picture, then my picture to see is the sun.'" "The real guru will give only pure, very pure." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

Integrate spiritual practice into daily life. Maintain your practice at home in the early morning or evening. While walking or driving, refrain from excessive talk to focus on your sādhanā. Carry the peaceful atmosphere of the ashram within you. Be harmonious with your family, sharing your practice gently. Engage with the earth by touching soil in a garden to connect with pure energy. Practice āsanas and prāṇāyāma, such as Kapālabhāti, for health, moving beyond mere reliance on medicine. Yoga is a holistic practice for body and life. Proper learning requires attending classes with a teacher, progressing step by step through different levels. The highest gathering is Satsaṅg, where all come together in truth. "Yoga is not a religion, it is not spirituality, but health, our body’s health." "Satsaṅg means sat, sat means the truth, saṅg, saṅg means together." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Come here to practice yoga
2:45 - 2:59 (14 min)
Recorded on
The ashram's sanctity is preserved by its pure elements and dedicated practice. This land receives only divine water, ensuring the air, fruits, and vegetation remain uncontaminated and wholesome. It is a place for meditation, exercise, and walking among holy trees. One should visit often to partake in this purity, offer prayers, and enjoy the simple, good food. The environment is cool and refreshing, akin to the Himalayas outside of winter. A warm room is maintained for all who come to pray. Our collective work extends beyond the ashram through established councils and yoga programs, operating under United Nations principles to aid people, animals, and nature globally. This duty requires unified action, not individual effort alone. "From the other side, water comes, but water is already flowing in the other direction, so it does not enter." "The United Nations doesn’t give the money. But they gave us that we can do something." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
A Welcome Address on Peace and Yoga
3:00 - 3:07 (7 min)
Recorded on
Peace is humanity's deepest longing, achieved through inner transformation. Outer circumstances reflect our inner state; greed, jealousy, and hate destroy peace. We must be the change we wish to see, serving as examples. True peace harmonizes us physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. Yoga provides a practical path, developing inner peace through spiritual techniques. This inner peace then reflects outward into our families and the world through our words and actions. The teachings and lineage of our spiritual masters guide this work of selfless service and universal unity, inspiring efforts for global harmony. "Be the change you want to see." "One and all, and all in one." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
Education for Flexible Identities
3:15 - 3:30 (15 min)
Recorded on
Education requires recognizing the teacher and learner within oneself. If you cannot find the guru inside, you cannot recognize an adequate external guide. One must simultaneously be governed and govern, embodying this contradiction to harmonize self and society. True education awakens self-education first in oneself, like a candle needing its own flame to light others. Modern schooling historically replaced one fixed identity, like a peasant, with another, like a worker, but today that rigid model is destructive. We need education for flexible identity, learning to manage energy for fight or peace, as in yoga. Freedom is not limited by others but created through them; society is a necessity for liberty, not an obstacle. Our words and thoughts matter, as we are largely water, and they influence our very structure. "If you are not able to recognize the guru in yourself, how can you recognize your guru in another person?" "The other person is not an obstacle but a necessity for me to live my freedom."

Help every creature
3:35 - 4:00 (25 min)
Recorded on
Compassion for all living beings is the urgent teaching. The world experiences great heat and drought. Many animals suffer and die from lack of water. While the ocean is vast and salty, sustaining life within it, life on land requires fresh water. We must help where we can. Our circumstances change, as illustrated by an old story. A mother gives her son a ring, explaining it signifies that difficult times will pass and good times will also change. This is the nature of life. We are to learn from such teachings. Therefore, we must act with practical kindness. Use water wisely. Provide water for animals and birds. Share what you have with all creatures. This is a great blessing. "Whenever you have any problems... look in the ring. Good days will come." "We should help everyone, not only humans, but all birds and animals and everything."

Yoga and health
4:05 - 5:11 (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
Practical guide to meditation (11/11)
6:30 - 7:10 (40 min)
Recorded on
The universal Self, the Ātmā, is one and exists within all. Space, light, and energy are its radiance, constituting a universal body within. This Ātmā is unborn and immortal. To be understood, this universal principle must manifest, for humans require form. Knowing this Ātmā is Self-knowledge. When that knowledge dawns, all desires and qualities dissolve, like a snake shedding its skin. One arrives at the knowledge "I am Brahman." Yet, those who truly possess this knowledge never proclaim it. Humility is essential; declaring wisdom leads to loss. The individual soul, or jīvātmā, is a mixture of this Ātmā and individual qualities, bound by karma. The human body is given to attain Self-knowledge and transform from the bound soul to Śiva. This requires surrendering negative thoughts and desires. Finding shelter with a master ends the search, bringing true happiness and freedom from the cycle of pain. "The ātmā is ajar (un-aging), unborn, immortal, and everlasting. That ātmā is our reality." "Jīvātmā is not immortal. Jīvātmā is bound to destiny through karma."

Body liberation and moksha
7:50 - 8:52 (62 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Yoga is beyond everything
9:00 - 9:56 (56 min)
Recorded on
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." "Śiva is not only a physical body. We can’t see, and we can see, and we are different." Filming location: Slovakia

A call for conscious living and holistic health. Modern life has brought widespread disease, largely due to adulterated food from chemical additives and seed modifications. This harms humanity and all animals. We must return to organic, original foods and teach our children this and familial respect, as connection is lost. True knowledge comes from ancient scriptures, not transient modern sources. Spiritual practice is essential. We need healthy food, a pure yoga practice, and authentic guru-disciple relationships. For physical health, adopt a simple fast of two days per week, drinking only good water. Practice key techniques: Aśvinī Mudrā to heal hemorrhoids, applying a tiny amount of oil or ghee to the navel daily for overall health, and Brahmrī to alleviate headaches. These require consistent practice over time. "Try to get all organic food for your house. If there is one day with no organic food to eat, then do not eat for that day." "Two days in one week: give up food, drink water. You will see that your diseases, many diseases, will go away." Filming location: Slovenia
Practice like Holy Guruji
14:30 - 15:52 (82 min)
Recorded on
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." "So many lives, thousands of lives, you have dedicated to yourself. Decide to dedicate one to me." Filming location: Croatia

Spiritual knowledge leads to God
17:30 - 18:16 (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.
Releasing the knots of the heart
18:20 - 18:56 (36 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual journey moves from seeking to self-understanding. One arrives seeking external knowledge, like meditation. The path provides a structured environment of seva, sādhanā, and community. This life becomes a precious opportunity for inner focus. The external world and interactions serve as mirrors. Irritation reveals pre-existing inner patterns, not the other's fault. Life's purpose is pedagogical, to teach and unravel these knots. The practice is to remain present in the now. Realization comes from living this process to uncover the already perfect self. "Life is not to give you joy. Life is to teach you." "The creation in you, it means it is already in you; it is already in you." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Guru brings us to the liberation
19:00 - 19:52 (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
Chanting divine mantras
20:00 - 20:33 (33 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Divine consciousness and Yoga Nidra
21:20 - 21:52 (32 min)
Recorded on
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."
