Recorded on
Consciousness is unbroken and present everywhere, pervading all beings and things. We repeatedly gather to connect with this source, receiving subtle guidance and blessings beyond verbal instruction. The practices shared here are a rare grace, often requiring lifetimes to access. A story illustrates this seeking: a ferryman, upon carrying Rāma, Sītā, and Lakṣmaṇa across the river, refused payment. He instead asked Rāma to carry him across the ocean of suffering. Like that ferryman, one must wisely use the opportunity for a master's presence, seeking guidance on the subtlest level. Our forms are evident, but we seek to understand the formless reality beyond them. Practice prepares the body and mind for this inquiry into where the soul ultimately goes. "The ferryman said, 'I took you over Gaṅgā. So you take me over this ocean of suffering.'" "Only practicing āsanas and prānāyāmas... It’s very good, because without our body, we don’t know what it is." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
You are like bees
1:20 - 2:02 (42 min)

The eternal essence, the Ātmā, is the singular sweetness within all existence. The divine flow of grace manifests through many forms, yet the source is one. Just as a single father and mother give rise to many children, the one truth expresses itself through many gurus and disciples across generations. The physical body is temporary, composed of five elements that return to nature, but the ātmā is eternal. This essence is like a single drop that contains the potential of the entire ocean. Every being—humans, animals, trees—possesses this same divine sweetness within. Therefore, one must cultivate purity in every aspect of being and never harbor negativity or harm toward others. The practice of devotion, like the collective work of bees producing honey, allows this inner sweetness to flow forth and unite all. "Otherwise, there is only one Guru, or one God, and then God will not be all Gurus, everybody." "This is not a body, but ātmā, and this is like one drop, and this drop is not like a neat drop. This one drop can make immense water again." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Purify yourself inside and out
2:10 - 2:53 (43 min)
Recorded on
Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Satguru is a Guru who knows everything and gives knowledge to everyone. The words of Satguru Chalisa are like pearls coming from the haven. God's energy is pure and goes to everyone. We can do neti every morning to clean our nose and lungs also. It is better to clean our teeth with our fingers without a brush. Sometimes animals are also cleaning their teeth. Many diseases begin to develop from the tension which can be between husband and wife. We learn the movements of animals with the help of yoga.

The human condition is defined by ignorance and a futile pursuit of immortality within the physical form. Humans possess great arrogance and technical skill but remain confined by the body and its elemental nature. Even deities are subject to change, and no being in a physical form can be granted immortality. True immortality exists only beyond the five elements, as the soul or Ātmā. Human life is consumed by fear, desire, and material accumulation, which creates suffering and severs connection from righteousness. Modern society exacerbates greed and hardship, distancing people from dharma and spiritual truth. The soul is eternal but trapped and unhappy within the physical body; liberation comes when it departs and merges with the universal consciousness, like a drop returning to the ocean. "Immortality is when you are not in the physical body." "The soul is in our body, and the soul is not happy, but our body doesn’t want to let go." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
The Inner States: Jagrat, Svapna, Suṣupti, and Beyond
3:46 - 4:00 (14 min)
Recorded on
States of consciousness reveal our inner and outer life. Waking activity is for the outer world, using all energy from sunrise to sunset. In sleep, we are within ourselves, aware of the inner self filled with divine feeling. This sleep is not nothing; it is a vital awareness given by God. Deep sleep is being one hundred percent aware of the self, comfortable and peaceful. The dream state contains things within ourselves, both good and bad. A constant alertness exists between these states. Therefore, sleeping is very important. A higher level is Yoga Nidrā, a sleep of consciousness toward the Supreme, practiced by yogis. "In sleeping, we were within ourselves. Our whole being is with us, filled with very, very divine feelings." "What this sleep means is that we are 100% aware of our self, and so it is very comfortable, relaxed, and peaceful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Human Path: Family, Culture, and Daily Yoga
4:50 - 5:41 (51 min)
Recorded on
The human path integrates family, culture, and daily spiritual practice. Recent times brought families physically together, revealing a prior separation as children moved away for study and work, leading to a loss of cultural continuity. Modern life further separates parents from children, who are often left in others' care. One parent should be present to impart culture and religion. The family home should be peaceful, without conflict or harmful habits. The pandemic reinforced being together, though it brought hardship. It is a time to maintain cultural and religious practices. Yoga in Daily Life teaches a pure, vegetarian lifestyle, which is the science of being human. To be a yogi is to first be human. The daily practice begins upon waking: acknowledge being human, honor the earth and your mother, and use water reverently as it is life and divine. Greet others with sacred recognition. Your workplace is also a family. Live as a lamp for your family. A true guru guides the soul to the cosmic self, beyond mere skill instruction. Holy figures should be respected in complete form. "Yoga is the science of the human being. To a yogī, that is it. You are a yogī. If you want to become a yogī, you have to become a human." "Water is life... water is God. We should not destroy water or spill it here and there." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Do seva with your heart
5:45 - 6:36 (51 min)
Recorded on
True seva is the greatest spiritual practice, requiring the complete offering of one's being. Seva must be given with the full heart, not reluctantly. It is defined as tan, man, and bachan. Tan is offering the entire body in service. Man is offering the mind completely, without discrimination between people. Bachan is offering speech, where words must bring happiness and love. These three must be followed. Greed destroys this offering, while the humble immediacy of a child exemplifies it. Observing common courtesies, like allowing elders to proceed, reflects this knowledge. In gatherings, one should avoid disruptive actions. Dhana is not money; true dhana is what comes sincerely from the heart. Money is transient and often a source of corruption. The ultimate desire is not for wealth or heavens, but for the seva itself. "Seva is greater than anything. All sādhanā, all meditations, all mantras come afterward; seva is the greatest." "I don’t need money, and I don’t need any heavens or anything. I only want to have seva in you." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Guru is only one

The Guru, mantra, and spiritual practice are essential in Kali Yuga. This age is marked by anger and disease globally. Those following a sattvic diet and yoga practice remained healthy, as research shows. The science of yoga provides protection. Mantra practice is paramount, and the mantra given by one's Guru is fundamental. The Guru's word is the true essence, not the physical form. One must not seek a second initiating guru, though one may listen to all saints. All life originates from the same source, like drops from one ocean. Spiritual progress requires meditation, mantra, and adherence to the Guru's word. "Only one guru you have, your guru." "Do not think of the body of the guru... that mantra which is given by the guru is like a seed planted in your body." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Trees also have karma
7:35 - 7:57 (22 min)
Recorded on
The ancient forest reveals profound truths through its life and stories. To understand it is to know everything. Sages walk there, and a solitary yogī lives among immense, ancient trees. We have such a forest in our ashram. There, a massive banyan tree, over 5,000 years old, stands. This reminds me of a story from another ashram. A young guru there spoke to a great tree, prophesying its death within two years. The tree, confident after millennia, asked who could kill it. The guru said its friends would, and that its enemy was in fire and iron. Later, a man with an axe came and felled the tree. The fallen tree later advised that one should not have enemies, and if someone is your enemy, be kind to them. There is a lesson in small things, like a needle that can kill. We should always be careful, happy, and kind. Then, their karma will affect them, not you. The trees are our best friends. We humans need the forests and should love them. "Ṛṣi, you take care of yourself. I am okay." "Therefore, we should always be careful and always be very happy and kind to others." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Rishis and great yogis in the Himalayas lived and live in caves built with big stones They can see us but we can't see them. There are three Gurus as Brahma Visnu and Shiva. Many rishis are female. We should understand the power of Shiva and Shakti also. Guru is the wing that will bring us to Parabrahma. We can't judge anyone it is good or bad. Lord let us be humble and good. Nobody should suffer everybody is good.
Be patient and faithful
9:00 - 9:58 (58 min)
Recorded on
True learning requires patience, reverence for the source, and inner focus. The current global pause invites turning inward to ask fundamental questions of identity and purpose. Withdrawing the senses is the primary meditation; using a mala with mantra is a valid secondary method that fosters oneness. Singing bhajans is learning, but one must always credit the original composer, as failing to do so is theft and creates nonsense. Do not believe all knowledge is already taken; like butter from a cow, true insight is perpetually renewed if you tend to the source. Education, like yoga, cannot be rushed. A child learns through gradual stages and requires play to refresh the mind. A student must fully absorb one lesson before teaching another. A pilot trains for years, trusting instruments to land safely; similarly, a disciple must practice diligently under guidance, not seeking quick results. Learning is embedding knowledge within, not merely reading. "If you eat the butter, what will happen? The cow is with me. Feed the cow with good, and you will again take the milk, and you have the butter again." "Do not think that I cannot do more. We are here within, and that is the makhan of our knowledge, and that will be fresh." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The way to a happy and healthy life
11:00 - 12:02 (62 min)
Recorded on
Festivals reflect life's spiritual, cultural, and social dimensions, yet we have divided the one truth of God into many branches through language and politics. We must respect outer ceremonies while cultivating inner purity. Our health and lifespan are determined by our nourishment and lifestyle, not merely medicine. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life—it teaches sāttvic living through proper diet and thought, aligning us with nature. We have polluted the fundamental elements—earth, water, air—through greed, poisoning ourselves. True festivals, like the light of Dīvālī, symbolize the inner light of the soul that persists despite karma and darkness. We must purify ourselves, control our desires, and become a source of light for others, moving toward liberation. "Āyurveda is not a medicine taken as a medicine, but Āyurveda is the nourishment for the body." "Light is everywhere. That souls are God... we can do only one thing: that we pray that, O God, let me continue my path." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Do not eat meat
12:10 - 13:12 (62 min)
Recorded on
The essence of devotion and righteous living is found in the Guru's grace and adherence to dharma. The Guru is the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and liberation. All glory belongs to the divine teachers and manifestations. True practice requires singing together in devotion. The core teaching is that real yoga necessitates a pure lifestyle. One must first abandon alcohol, tobacco, eggs, and meat. These are not given for human consumption. Many suffer disease from such diets. A global shift is occurring where some are adopting vegetarianism while others are straying. To learn real yoga, one must live according to these principles and protect all life, including animals and nature. This practice is the rightful wealth of this land. "Dhyāna mūlaṁ gurur mūrtiḥ, pūjā mūlaṁ guru pādam, mantra mūlaṁ guru vākyam, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpām." "Why should I be hungry when I am at your doorstep?" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Feel the divine sounds of bhajans in your heart
13:20 - 14:22 (62 min)
Recorded on
Satsang is the gathering for truth. Coming together creates a strength and fullness beyond solitude. 'Sat' is truth, the fundamental reality of our being and awareness. 'Sang' means together—with oneself and with the divine. This union is Satsang. We engage through bhajan, where inner truth manifests as outer song. True singing arises from within, making the singer an instrument for divine vibration. Even in sleep, truth permeates our dreams. A story illustrates how inner truth clarifies reality: a man's dream of ice cream later manifests through his wife's action, revealing the inner reality shaping the outer. Spiritual practice requires removing impurities to perceive this truth directly. The voice in bhajan channels this energy, uniting singer, instrument, and listener in one vibration. "Sat means the truth. We are all here, we are, we know, and we should be." "True singing arises from within, making the singer an instrument for divine vibration."

Glimpse of Kundalini
15:25 - 16:19 (54 min)
Recorded on
The soul is one, not many. All beings and vegetation possess this single life force. We exist within five layered bodies, or kośas, made from the five elements. At death, these elements separate and return to their source; the soul does not die but transitions. Our individual consciousness, the jīvātmā, resides within these layers. Through purification via prāṇāyāma and meditation, we shed negative karma and qualities to merge with the cosmic consciousness, which is liberation. The chakra system maps subtle energy points in the body, symbolizing this journey. Practices like earthing and avoiding intoxicants balance these energies for health and spiritual progress. Ultimately, all distinctions are illusions; we are a single consciousness. "In reality, it is only one soul." "Your body will not die... the five elements... are becoming one again."

Neti and pranayama
16:25 - 16:54 (29 min)
Recorded on
The practice of netī and prāṇāyāma cleanses the subtle channels and brings health. The spine houses the Vajranāḍī, the vital channel for all creatures; its injury ends life. Care is essential in all physical activity. Netī cleanses the nostrils using a lotā with warm, salted water; practice only in the morning. This relieves headaches and clarifies the senses. Prāṇāyāma begins with alternate-nostril breathing to purify the nāḍīs. Techniques like nāḍī śodhana and anuloma viloma balance energy and release ailments. Consistent practice yields profound benefits for the mind and body. "The Vajranāḍī is not only for humans, but for all creatures... When the Vajranāḍī is broken, then life is gone." "Inhale with the left nostril... exhale only with the left nostril... Then we close the left nostril, and we inhale and exhale only with the right nostril." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A guided practice integrating āsana, prāṇāyāma, and relaxation begins with breath awareness and gentle movement. Settle the body and deepen the breath to receive prāṇa. Coordinate movement with inhalation and exhalation, maintaining inner attention. Practice stretches, Pāvanamuktāsana, and Vajrāsana with focus on spinal alignment. Perform inverted postures like Viparīta Karaṇī Mudrā with care, distinguishing it from Śīrṣāsana. Practice standing āsanas such as Garuḍāsana and Trikoṇāsana with balance and concentration, avoiding force. Conclude with Prāṇāyāma, specifically Nāḍī Śodhana, to purify the energy channels. Chant Oṃ to complete the practice. "Throughout the entire practice, strive to maintain your attention within yourself." "For all balancing postures, it is essential first to calm the mind, and only then can the balancing postures be performed well." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Spirituality and joy
18:40 - 18:57 (17 min)
Recorded on
Spirituality is the essence of joy and oneness. It arises from the harmonious union of fundamental principles within nature. The earth provides a maternal foundation, while a paternal energy of light and life animates existence. This union represents the divine source. True spirituality manifests as purity, humbleness, kindness, and peace. Its absence is marked by conflict and suffering, as seen in fractured relationships. We often seek joy externally, yet authentic spiritual joy is found only within. It is the inner state cultivated through harmonious understanding. "Spirituality: purity and humbleness, kindness, peace, understanding, oneness." "Spirituality is what we call the joy. Joy is only within ourselves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Purifying Path of Haṭha Yoga: An Introduction to Ṣaṭkarma
19:00 - 19:47 (47 min)
Recorded on
Haṭha Yoga's essence is the six purification techniques, or Ṣaṭkarma, for cleansing the body and balancing energy. Our polluted modern environment necessitates these natural cleansings using water, salt, and air. These practices purify the physical system and uniquely influence the vegetative nervous system, which is typically beyond our control. The goal is to balance the Iḍā and Piṅgalā energy channels, allowing the central Suṣumnā to flow. This mastery brings many benefits, fostering willpower and overcoming inertia. Regular purification, especially during seasonal changes, removes metabolic waste that causes illness and stagnation, keeping energy flowing. Specific techniques like Netī cleanse the nasal passages, while Agni Sāra and Naulī stoke the digestive fire. These are potent tools that require proper guidance from an experienced teacher regarding the correct method and timing. "Haṭha Yoga is not only that we clean and purify our whole system, our whole body, but it also has a great, very great effect on our nervous system, especially the vegetative nervous system." "When they are balanced, then the third one, the Suṣumnā Nāḍī, will start to flow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Shiva is the light
21:15 - 22:25 (70 min)
Recorded on
All beings possess a soul and feel pain, from humans to the smallest fly. Water is life, and God is the living energy within it. To be human is to refrain from intentional killing. Different eras, or yugas, cycle with Dharma's purity declining; we now reside in Kali Yuga. Divinity is not a form but the conscious power from which all manifestation arises, with Śiva as the primordial source. True religion is one's inherent relation to the divine, not sectarian identity. "A tiny fly, when they see us, they come near us and then fly away. Why? Because they think, 'These humans, they will kill us.'" "God is that energy, power, protection, many things, but not the form." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
