Where is our house?
0:00 - 0:53 (53 min)
Recorded on
Our true home is in God, not in this world. We are born and move between places, yet never find a lasting home. Heaven is described as perfect joy, yet jealousy exists even there. A story illustrates divine purpose. God walks in a garden, greeting all plants. A bamboo feels empty and flawed, possessing jealousy's knot and fire. God explains He will craft the bamboo into Krishna's flute to bring harmony and joy to all beings. Later, the bamboo also serves as a conduit for the Ganga's water. Do not question God's actions; seek to understand them. Satsaṅg attracts those naturally drawn to the light of truth, like insects to a lamp. One whose nature is ignorance may flee the fragrance of truth for foulness. "God said, 'I will make a flute out of you.' ... You will make the whole world happy." "Chandana makkī parhāre, durgandhi vah uḍ jāye. So, one who is not a jñānī cannot go to the satsaṅg." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
The Nabhi
1:00 - 1:55 (55 min)
Recorded on
The many paths of yoga converge like rivers into one ocean. Respect all ways of practice. The science of yoga is vast, yet we must understand our own body. The navel, or Nābhi, is the root. A problem there affects the whole system. To progress, one must bring the body under control through proper diet and awareness. Overweight individuals should eat lightly, focusing on salads and seeds, to achieve balance over time. Practice feeling the movement and vibration at the navel. This awareness is the foundation for meditation and self-knowledge. True practice begins from this root, balancing the physical to access deeper states. The sound of OM originates from the navel, rising through the channels to the crown. Balance in the body leads to balance in consciousness. "Yoga is yoga, but which kind of yoga? It is like this gathering: some have come from the East, some from the West, and all who have come via different paths have seen many different things." "The navel is the root. Everything is there. When there is a problem with the navel, the whole body will die." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. We enjoy our bodies and our sadhana also. Here are very beautiful trees and we are like children of that trees. Our mother earth has beautiful hair which is the grass. To touch the earth without socks is very healthy. Think over what did we do on the last day. We can take a tilak to our forehead and eat a very little sweet. Sweet means speak and think sweet. Our eyes can't see each other. The story about brothers and sisters. Anuloma viloma pranayama balances our mind. Eyes are the sisters and the nostrils are the brothers. Enjoy your life and do and think good. Beauty comes from inside. be thankful for God to live your beautiful life.
Welcoming Address and Valedictory Session on Yoga for Wellness
3:00 - 4:08 (68 min)
Recorded on
Yoga for wellness is the subject, moving from practice to integration for national health. Yoga has gained global acceptance, increasing India's responsibility. The conference aims to establish policy parameters. Yoga is about holistic wellness, not merely cure. Two key features emerged: the need for integration between traditional and modern medicine, and the need for scientific evidence on yoga's impact on specific diseases. Integration must move beyond co-location to active cross-referrals. The ultimate aim is to use yoga to reduce the number of patients. Generating robust scientific evidence is crucial for global acceptability. The presence of both traditional and modern practitioners signifies the desired integration. "Yoga is not just about a cure. It is about health, overall well-being, and wellness." "We need to generate scientific evidence about the value of yoga if we want true acceptability." Filming location: Delhi, India
We should take one step further
4:15 - 4:48 (33 min)
Recorded on
A time for unity and caution requires spiritual progress. This period brings both celebration and sorrow. While many observe festive traditions, a global pandemic has caused immense suffering. Physical precautions like distancing are necessary for safety. Traditional greetings like namaste respect this need. All prayers, regardless of language or tradition, share a single essence. At death, the soul is liberated from the body and its distinctions. Concepts of heaven and hell are transient states, not permanent. Divine love is unconditional, like that of a parent. The inner light of the soul is universal and identical in all. Current practices must evolve toward deeper, inward meditation. An initiation will be offered to longstanding students to awaken their inherent divine nature, though self-knowledge remains incomplete. Persist in spiritual practice with faith. "Different countries, different traditions, different religions, different meanings—everything. But they are doing the same thing we are doing." "Yes, you are God. You are Guru. You are a disciple, but you still do not know what you are." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Karma yoga is the best
4:50 - 5:14 (24 min)
Recorded on
Karma Yoga is the path of disciplined action. Work is the essential purpose of life, using the body, mind, and knowledge. Even divine figures undertake hard work. Therefore, everyone must work independently and continuously until life's end. Laziness leads to being lost. Daily spiritual and physical practice is non-negotiable work on the self. All activity, from routine tasks to spiritual exercises, constitutes meaningful karma that leads to success. Life itself is sustained by constant work, including the body's unseen processes. We must be actively engaged in all aspects of living. "Yogaha karmasu kauśalam. Those who work as karma yogīs will be successful." "If we do not work, we are lost."

Try to open the lock
6:11 - 6:30 (19 min)
Recorded on
Oneness is the divine reality encompassing all beings. We exist as a small part of a vast creation, living in water, on earth, and in the sky. The Supreme has brought all life into being. Humans, as God's children, were given divine capability. Yet, claiming independence led to negativity and conflict. The solution is likened to opening a locked mala. The divine Name serves as the key to this lock. By focusing on a single, sacred name, one accesses the treasure within. This practice transcends all divisions, restoring harmony. "God gave everything to their children... What God can do, the human can do everything." "The best is on this one name... That is the best name." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Practical guide to meditation (8/11)
6:31 - 8:32 (121 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the universal principle of the energy that harmonizes consciousness and space. The endless universe, Anant Brahmāṇḍ, is pure consciousness unified with space. Between consciousness and space exists a balancing Śakti, the yoga energy or yoga māyā. This invisible energy creates, maintains, and dissolves all manifestation. That supreme consciousness, one with this energy and space, is the body of Śiva. The first resonance from that consciousness is the sound Aum, from which all creation manifests. This same yoga śakti harmonizes every system within the five-element body and the individual soul. One is part of this cosmic play and must turn with it. Realization of this unity is the aim. Until then, rebirth continues according to karma, not by personal choice. Human life is an opportunity for this realization through love and spiritual practice. Physical postures and breath are merely a way toward this yoga. The presence of a master or meditation on the guru aids this upliftment. Purify the heart. What you wish from others, you must first give. "The beauty is indescribable, the light is indescribable, but there is no moon and no sun." "The flower which I want to surrender to you, I could not find that flower." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Ljubljana, Slovenia. There are three tattwas in our body tamas, rajas and sattva. We can cross the ocean of worldly life with the energy of mantras and bhajans. Explanation of mantra Om Namo Sri Prabu Deep Narayanam. Energy and wisdom are in the nail of the big toe of the Master. Human lost the love towards the earth. Vedas know the length of the Sun's life. Nowadays there are less positive and more negative forces. A story about Visnu and a rishi. A story about a Master who had a problem with his heart and his disciple. Explanation of bhajan I will be thine always.
Forms of God
9:55 - 10:52 (57 min)
Recorded on
The choice between form and formlessness is presented for contemplation. God possesses both aspects: the visible, physical form and the invisible, formless space. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa stated there is no difference between them. As physical beings, we experience the world of form through our senses. The formless state is described as an emptiness with no objects, companions, or physical needs. While both are equal, being in a physical body allows for spiritual practice and enjoyment of life. The soul persists after the body dies, but its nature is elusive. Ultimately, both aspects reside within the individual. Life in form involves work and difficulty but also connection. The formless offers freedom from all needs. The choice between them is a personal consideration. "Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said, 'No difference.'" "In Nirakāra, we don’t see anything."

Respect your parents and Gurudev
12:00 - 12:57 (57 min)
Recorded on
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

Spiritual message of ancient India
14:05 - 15:09 (64 min)
Recorded on
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
Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
15:15 - 15:54 (39 min)
Recorded on
The yogic sleep of the realized being is a state of wakeful awareness. In that sleep, one knows wakefulness and makes the night bright as day. The senses are withdrawn yet perceiving, unattached like a white lotus in muddy water. One abides in the self, radiant on the throne of the heart. Wherever one looks or hears, there is no ordinary thought or sight. This is the sleep known to saints and sages, where consciousness remains fully conscious. "In that sleep, one knows wakefulness and makes the night bright as day." "Wherever one looks or hears, there is no ordinary thought or sight." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 1 - Part 2
16:00 - 17:04 (64 min)
Recorded on
A morning yoga practice guides the body and breath toward relaxation and awareness. Begin by lying down, consciously relaxing each part of the body from the toes to the head. Observe the natural breath, then consciously deepen it into a full yogic wave moving from abdomen to chest. Coordinate simple stretches with inhalation and exhalation, feeling tension and release. Progress through poses that stretch the spine diagonally and twist it, always keeping the lower back close to the floor. Move into seated postures for flexion and extension of the spine, coordinating each movement with the breath. Conclude with deep relaxation, breath awareness, and a simple prāṇāyāma technique. "Feel your body becoming heavier with each exhalation." "Harmonize your movement with your breath." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
The Five Stages of Mantra Practice
17:10 - 17:54 (44 min)
Recorded on
Mantra practice unfolds through five distinct stages. The first stage is Likhita, the written mantra, which requires correct form to preserve meaning. The second is Vācika, the vocalized pronunciation of that written form. The third stage is Upāṁśika, where the mantra is articulated by the tongue without audible sound. The fourth is Mānasika, a mental repetition without any physical movement. The fifth and final stage is Ajapa, where the mantra resonates spontaneously throughout the entire being without any effort. This progression internalizes the sacred sound until it becomes one's inherent nature. The practice must be received from and dedicated to the master. Correct foundational practice prevents deviation, yet the guru-given mantra itself is paramount beyond form. The ultimate goal is for the mantra to permeate one's entire existence, leading to realization. "Likhita means writing." "Ajapa means that which is not japa, that which happens without japa."

Family life: steps towards heaven
18:00 - 18:45 (45 min)
Recorded on
Learning is the sacred foundation, and the sanctity of generations is its vessel. Schools may close, but learning must continue at home. True knowledge, Vidyā, is a divine gift. The child's foundation is laid from conception. For nine months, the home should be a peaceful sanctuary with clean food and water, maintained by both parents in a spiritual atmosphere. Do not inquire if the child is a boy or girl; desire only a healthy child. Prepare the home joyfully, like birds building a new nest. The happiness of grandparents signifies the family's flourishing. Witnessing five living generations is a supreme blessing, a ladder to cosmic life. This tradition upholds the family line. Do not discard the elderly; to do so is a great sin. Modern life in large cities breeds separation, unlike close-knit villages where a new child brings communal joy. Uphold your traditions. The guest is God. In this age, do not let conflict enter; be happy, not angry or jealous. Achieve these steps through love and respect for all creatures. "Mostly they said, 'It doesn’t matter if it’s a girl or a boy, we need only a helpful, very healthy child.'" "When you have five generations in front of you, you have five steps to the cosmic life."

We are all in God
18:50 - 19:23 (33 min)
Recorded on
A prayer for healing and reflection on suffering and purification. A collective prayer is offered for all beings suffering from disease. Prayer is a great power and medicine. Actions taken without knowledge, including against innocent animals, require forgiveness. Justice from God may be delayed but is certain. Observing the world suggests those integrating yoga and lifelong vegetarianism show resilience. The human body is sacred and requires care. Modern consumption patterns, like constant eating, are unnatural and lead to disease. Eating less allows for greater vital energy. All people share one earth and must return to it. Political leaders worldwide are working diligently; they deserve respect and support during this time. The ultimate path is to relax peacefully, maintain positive thoughts, and pray.

The way to God
19:30 - 20:04 (34 min)
Recorded on
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?"

Live life in a natural way
20:10 - 21:15 (65 min)
Recorded on
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 real disciple
22:15 - 22:54 (39 min)
Recorded on
The essence of Sanātana Dharma is Śaṅkarācārya, who restored truth from a young age. He sought to become a sannyāsī despite his mother's initial refusal, later fulfilling his promise to perform her funeral rites against convention. He established four monasteries across India, providing different spiritual paths for different natures. Becoming a true disciple requires immense dedication, as illustrated by the tale of Upamanyu. The young boy endured severe tests from his guru, including starvation, blindness, and falling into a well, yet maintained his devotion. His unwavering faith ultimately invoked divine vision and strength. Modern disciples often lack such steadfastness, distracted by the temptations of the current age. "Mother, I will be there for you, but I must also go forth to restore reality and truth." "Gurudev, I cannot eat without first offering food to someone." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
We should know where our soul is
23:00 - 23:39 (39 min)
Recorded on
Yoga practice is growing globally as people engage more deeply with physical exercises, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. This inward turn signifies a return to the heart. Ancient teachings reveal a past of purity without animal harm, contrasting with present times. The current age sees a division between those who harm animals and those who love them. Development is measured not by science alone but by compassion and non-violence. The essence of yoga transcends physical practice to connect with the inner soul. A spiritual community mourns the passing of a dedicated disciple, celebrating a life of service and devotion. "The love awakens the perfect self-realization." "Yoga is not only practicing āsanas... we should know where our soul is inside." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Follow your human dharma
23:45 - 0:35 (50 min)
Recorded on
The human purpose is to follow dharma, the path of good, and avoid adharma, the path of evil. Dharma means causing no harm to any creature, including not killing for food. Adharma begins with harmful speech and actions, leading to the cycle of violence where creatures devour each other. Humans are meant to be above this animal behavior. Our life is given to find God's path, not for mere eating. God resides within the heart; causing trouble first afflicts our own inner divinity. Hell is not a separate place but exists here as cruelty. Proper human sustenance is from fruits, seeds, and milk—a gift from motherly sources like the earth, the cow, and our own mother. Killing animals for food or consuming their embryos is a grave sin that contradicts our spiritual nature. Yoga's true purpose is not just health but to turn the mind toward the God within. Practice prāṇāyāma to purify the lungs and sustain life force. Avoid harmful substances and excessive consumption. Support a life of non-violence and purity. "Dharma means to do good. This includes all creatures: we should not give them trouble or kill them." "Human life is given for dharma, not for adharma." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
