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

Yoga is one, with many branches from a single root. Purification of the body is the essential first step, known as Hatha Yoga. This is not merely postures but constant cleansing. Techniques like neti cleanse the nostrils, while practices like Śaṅkha Prakṣālana purify the stomach. These acts of purification are the six traditional techniques. Hatha also signifies the necessary force in practice, illustrated in life's simple resistances. True practice requires this disciplined force to achieve purity, preparing one for deeper spiritual work. "Yoga is just one. From it, there are so many branches, like one tree." "The first step in yoga is called the purification of the body. This is Hatha Yoga." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A morning ritual establishes purity and presence for the day. Upon waking, declare your human consciousness. Step from bed with reverence for Mother Earth. Begin with pure water, holding it in your palms to acknowledge the divine within it. Apply water to the face five times for physical, mental, and spiritual cleansing. Drink the water, feeling it purify your system, dedicating your life to the divine. The first sight upon waking should be a sacred image or a pure element of nature, setting a harmonious tone. This practice cleanses the residues of night and anger, fostering inner peace that is independent of external events. True yoga is this integrated awareness in every action, recognizing that happiness and unhappiness originate within. "Where there is water, there is God." "Happiness and unhappiness are all within ourselves, not from others at all." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Life is governed by the natural order of the moon, sun, and water. The moon's movement directly influences our inner being and balances the Earth. Water is life itself, essential for all beings and the land. Modern interference with natural rhythms causes suffering. Changing clocks disrupts animals and human practices. Consuming fruits from opposing climates introduces conflicting energies and can cause illness. Aligning with natural cycles is crucial for health and harmony. The Guru's grace is the essential guide on this path. "Life is very connected to the moon." "Water is life. Life is water." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

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

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

Our heart is a well of giving that must flow to remain pure. We are born from and abide within a vast spiritual ocean. Knowing "I am" and feeling God within, we are here not to sit idly but to help others. Helping flows from the heart, generating more power, peace, and love. Giving enlarges the heart; withholding causes stagnation. Just as a well gives fresh water the more it is drawn, the heart yields more peace and harmony through giving. We must not refuse to give, for in truth, you are everything. Our inner energy must be kept alive by giving what we like. Even when the body perishes, the heart becomes a vast space. We practice to attain this greatness, giving to all beings. This heart-based spirituality surpasses all books. We are ultimately one. "When we help one another, it comes from our heart: more power, more peace, more love, more of everything." "As much as is drawn, so much flows... when we draw water, then clean, fresh, very nice water flows out again and again." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

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."

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

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.

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."

The essence of living is to know how to live naturally and fully. Life is more than eating, drinking, and sleeping. Humans have forgotten how to live, unlike village people who sustain themselves. Life originates from water and is interconnected with all nature. Many now lack basic skills like cooking or growing food, relying on systems that disconnect them from life's source. This dependence leads to helplessness. True living means engaging directly with nature to obtain and prepare nourishment. Modern conveniences and money have replaced this direct relationship, harming health and community. A natural life of cooperation, without reliance on bought goods, fosters health and happiness. Return to organic living, cooking at home, and family meals. Learn essential skills to be self-reliant and live positively. "Life—eating, drinking, sleeping, and sometimes walking a little bit—that is not life. So, live life." "Live life means not only eat and sleep and work; there is more than this."

The essence of yoga and spiritual life is found in the ancient Gurukul system, not merely in physical exercise. Sixty years ago, yoga was deeply spiritual, practiced by great saints and ascetics. Jain and Buddhist traditions exemplify this purity through strict non-violence, meditation, and simple living. Ancient Indian universities like Nalanda were vast centers of spiritual knowledge, later destroyed. The true Gurukul is not a historical building but the living presence of the Master. Disciples receive knowledge and support the Master's mission, creating a global spiritual family. This system provides a foundation of ethics, compassion, and progressive growth that common yoga schools lack. Every step on this path reduces suffering and increases bliss. "Yoga was then very spiritual, pure, and so on. And all yogīs, sādhus, and other people were filled with yoga." "I am myself Gurukul." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A guided practice integrating Sūrya Namaskār, āsanas, Prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Begin with Sūrya Namaskār, synchronizing breath and movement to generate warmth. Feel its influence on body, breath, and mind. Practice dynamic movements to deepen postures, adjusting speed to warm the body. Then practice Kāṭha Praṇām to feel its distinct influence. Proceed to specific āsanas like Aśva Sañcālanāsana and Meru Ākāra Nāsana, moving with awareness and avoiding strain. Feel each posture's effect. Transition to Prāṇāyāma, practicing Anuloma Viloma with focused breath. Visualize cleansing with exhalation and receiving vitality with inhalation. Conclude with meditation, repeating a mantra or performing mental worship to cultivate stillness and awareness. "Feel the complete influence of Sūrya Namaskār on the body, on your breath, on your mind." "Visualize that with each exhalation, all toxins leave the body, and with each inhalation, health, happiness, and contentment enter." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

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. "Āśrams and mandirs are like beacons in the turmoil, the ocean of saṃsāra." "There is one God. God is one, and God is God." Filming location: Croatia

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.

The essence of spiritual life is Satsaṅg and recognizing the inner Guru. Religious identity is temporary, but the Ātmā within all beings is eternal. This essence is like an ocean, with individuals as drops from it. In this age, humility and goodness lead to the supreme reality, while pride leads elsewhere. The true Guru is beyond all deities, often silent yet profoundly present. External achievements and learning are not the final measure. True greatness is found in humble devotion and inner truth. Association with truth and pure company is vital, yet even simple, constant remembrance can be transformative. The ultimate state is one of inner silence, where all distinctions dissolve. "Guru Dev. What is the Guru Dev? The Guru is above Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva." "Sat. What is sat? What is it? It is truth. Truth. And Saṅgha.... With whom do you want to live?"

The horizon is within the Self. External knowledge is given, but one must know what one can give. Standing at the center, the paths are seen, yet direction is often unknown. The educated child seeks the distant horizon, believing it to be perfection, but it cannot be reached. The parent instructs the child to close its eyes on the mountain peak and look within, for the horizon is found there. Seeking externally leads far away; one must return to the Ātmā. Inside, all are one. The learned sage Nārada declared "I am Brahman" from a place of ego and fell, humiliated. Ego ensures a fall, while inner humility remains right. The horizon cannot be achieved externally; be limited and go within. The ego stops there. Many in meditation try to go outside, but the horizon is within the heart. "Close your eyes and look within thyself. That is your horizon." "When the ego comes, then be sure we will fall down." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Life is the Ātmā within all beings, seen through the Self. Humans consume life, yet must understand this act distances them from the supreme. Feeling pain teaches non-violence. To approach God requires immense time and grace; unintentional harm may be forgiven, but intentional killing bars the path. Saints do not boast; true greatness lies in selfless service. The mala is a constant step toward God, paired with a mantra given by the guru or family. Regular prayer, like the Muslim practice, instills discipline. The greeting of praṇām is a mutual prayer for goodness. There are two mala practices: one uses a 108-bead mala with a Guru Mukhī bead, turned with the thumb and middle finger without crossing that bead. The other is Sumaran, a constant walking remembrance like the breath, without a guru point. The story of Hanuman illustrates that one's chosen divine name, like Rām, becomes an inseparable companion through constant repetition, leading ultimately to merging with divine light.
