The seminar's subject is spirituality and religion, aiming to develop spirituality. Ancient texts speak of one universal God. Spirituality is the ocean where all religious rivers meet. It is discovering one's self and relation to the Creator. All creation emanates from one single element, Brahman. Analyze the human body: it is controlled by the senses, the mind controls the senses, the intellect controls the mind, and the soul controls everything. The subtler an element, the more powerful it becomes. The invisible soul within is part of the supreme Creator. Direct the senses inward to discover this soul and achieve unity. This realization fosters love and ends conflict. Desires are an insatiable hunger. Mantra can satisfy the mind and lead to liberation. A realized yogi possesses contentment, not worldly wealth. The human body is like a coach; the senses are horses, the mind is the rider, and the soul is the king within. All religions, shaped by culture, aim for the one Formless God. The essence within everyone is the same divine light. "Religions are like rivers, and Dharma is the ocean." "From the Whole, the whole is created. From the infinite, the infinite is created, and still the infinite remains as it is." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The thread of love is fragile; do not break it with misunderstanding. Today honors a divine incarnation, a light for the world. Relationships are defined by respect: call an elder woman mother, a slightly older woman sister, and a younger person your child. This creates protection and unity, leaving no room for negative thoughts. True marriage merges two souls into one being. Forgiveness is the remedy for a happy life; harboring resentment causes lifelong pain. A simple misunderstanding, like over a piece of bread, can spoil decades. Speak clearly and forgive. Women hold the power to bring peace and save the world through their inherent strength. Devotion, not mere intellect, is key. A master tests disciples to strengthen them, supporting from within while shaping from without. Spiritual roots must be pure and connected to a true lineage. Seeking a master without a genuine lineage is like a nail cutter claiming to be a surgeon. Our roots extend to the ancient Himalayan siddhas. "Rahiman dhāgā prem kā, mat todo chitkayā. Tutā phir jude nahi, aur jude to gāṁṭ pad jāy." "Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Deva Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gaṇeśa." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

Yoga in Daily Life systematically promotes health in the Czech Republic. The system began here in 1973, based on the traditional concept of Vedānta. It offers training on four levels: physical, mental, social, and spiritual, for everyone regardless of background. This aligns with the national health strategy, which now explicitly includes spiritual health. New government action plans until 2020 target areas where yoga can directly contribute: promoting physical activity, proper nutrition, mental health, reducing risky behaviors, and mitigating environmental stress. The system's sophisticated, methodology-unique techniques make it suitable for research and intervention programs, with publications available for specific health groups. The association has grown to become the largest in the country, with a widespread network of centers offering lessons. "The state belongs to those that allow and highly appreciate cooperation with public, private, and non-governmental organizations." "This harmonizing of the physical, mental, social, and spiritual level, is truly the only chance to keep peace and development in our society." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The Śrāvaṇa month is dedicated to Lord Śiva, who drank the ocean's poison to protect all beings, earning the name Nīlakaṇṭha. Offerings like water, milk, and honey during this time are for inner purification, with effects multiplied. Śiva is pleased by pure intention, not elaborate ritual. A devoted boy once performed an abhiṣeka with spoiled milk, pickle brine, and maple syrup, creating chaos. Yet, his pure bhāva, his heartfelt feeling, transformed the village, bringing rain and harmony. The essence of any action—worship, service, or daily work—is the love and sincerity with which it is performed. That feeling is everything. "He took that poison and drank it, which is why his throat is blue." "It does not matter how we do it, but with which bhāva, with which feelings, we are doing it."

The essence of bhajan, mantra, and prāṇa is explored. Bhajan is not merely singing but the inner repetition of God's name with devotion, encompassing prayer, meditation, and all actions offered to God. Poetry contains wisdom, asking and answering questions. Mantra is a potent seed containing the essence of reality, connected to prāṇa, the vital energy present in sound and nourishment. There are two states of samādhi: sabīja, where awareness remains, and nirbīja, a union with the divine beyond the senses. The guru is not a physical form but a state of consciousness, a chain through which divine grace flows. The bhajan's refrain is itself a mantra, composed of names of God, describing the eternal, beginningless divine principle. "Bhajan must not be understood only as singing; this is inner-directed practice." "The guru is not a physical form; the guru is a state of consciousness." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Yoga in Daily Life program spreads widely through its intrinsic value. A key component is Sarvahitā Āsana, a set of exercises created collectively for universal benefit, suitable for all ages and capacities. This practice, alongside others like Bārikhātu Praṇām, serves as vital medicine for well-being. Consistent practice distinguishes the fit. Those engaged in jealousy and selfish gain are spiritually adrift and in peril. The community is a collective light in darkness, embodying divine grace. Focus must remain on satsaṅg, spiritual association, and divine connection, avoiding gossip and negative company. "Sarvahitā Āsana is very great." "You are all a light. In a dark night, even this one flame is there, and we all can walk by it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Meditation requires mastering the inward turn from worldly engagement to inner stillness. You attempt to meditate, but mental modifications persist. Merely quoting "Yogaḥ citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ" is insufficient; it demands practice. The path of pravṛtti is extroverted engagement with the world, where senses and desires create countless uncontrollable thoughts. The path of nivṛtti is inward withdrawal, setting aside all obligations to be only with the Self. During prayer or meditation, you often harbor selfish wishes and restless thoughts, which obstruct spiritual progress. Impurities like anger and jealousy create distraction and a curtain of ignorance. Authentic meditation is self-inquiry without injecting personal imagination. A teacher must be fully alert and observant, not transferring personal tensions. Prāṇāyāma harmonizes energies, allowing thoughts to ascend toward peace. You must become established in the truth that the Self is indestructible bliss. "Yogī should be able to withdraw the senses inward at any time, like a turtle retracting its limbs." "Brahma satya, jagat mithyā." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The sole longing is for the dust of the holy feet, surpassing all worldly and heavenly desires, even liberation itself. Meeting the true Guru dispels all mental confusion and wrong knowledge, revealing the inner truth. The individual flame unites with the cosmic flame when all doubt is gone. External forms veil the one eternal truth within. Many speak only few words, but the Guru's word is profound. The devotee seeks to be accepted at those lotus feet. A true yogi, drunk on the divine name, is imperturbable, seeing no distinction between diamond and stone, free from all desire and fear. "Please give me the dust of your holy lotus feet. This is the only thing I am searching for and longing for." "He’s unmovable, and he’s strong or firm as a mountain, he’s the same in life and he’s the same in death."

The devotional invocation of divine light and guru grace. This is a sequence of sacred chants and salutations. The core practice is the repetitive chanting of names and mantras. The invocations call upon the light of Dip Narayana and the grace of various gurus. The chant "Kali Kali Hare Sava" is repeated as a central devotional refrain. The purpose is to invoke divine presence and blessings through sound. The text concludes with a focus on ultimate truth. The recitation is an act of worship and remembrance.

The awakening of contentment arises from purifying the heart chakra through practical yoga techniques. All phenomena contain three principles: resonance, light, and energy. When the Anāhata Chakra becomes pure, these three unite and material perception dissolves, revealing divine consciousness and unconditional compassion. This shift liberates one from karma. The initial awakening is Param Ānanda, supreme bliss, felt as subtle joy in the body. This bliss awakens inner resonance and the light of wisdom, leading to Śāntoṣa, the wealth of contentment. With contentment, one feels no lack; all external wealth becomes like dust. Happiness is needing nothing. The inner treasure of love and wisdom is already within; you are rich. A meditation technique purifies the body and awakens this state. Practice eleven cycles of Aśvinī Mudrā, then focus on ascending and descending breath, bodily expansion and contraction, inhaling cosmic light, and exhaling toxins. Finally, hold the body motionless and coordinate breath with the heart, using the mantra OM SO HAṂ to realize your divine essence. "When the Śāntoṣa appears in the heart, then automatically your partner will share this Śāntoṣa with you." "You cannot buy happiness, you cannot buy love, you cannot buy wisdom. Everything is within you." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The mind's vṛttis cannot be controlled by chasing them, just as one cannot stop a bushfire by running after it. A fire was lit in a remote area and began to spread. Attempts to beat it out with a blanket were futile, mirroring the endless chase of thoughts. Experienced locals arrived not to fight the flames directly but to create a cleared track. They waited calmly for the fire to reach this barren line where it could be contained. The method was to remove fuel, not to chase the fire. Similarly, one cannot stop thoughts by force. The practice is to reinforce sādhanā and focus on the mantra or inner satsaṅg. This creates a protected space within. When the vṛttis arise, one returns to that anchor. The nourishing practice is strengthened so that distracting thoughts, when they come, find no hold and are easily managed. "If we try to control our mind and put a stop to the thoughts that are there, it's impossible. But we can work from the other side and start to make our practice more solid." "Every time we are doing meditation and we get lost in our vṛttis, we just bring ourselves back either to our breathing or to our mantra." Filming location: Croatia

A gentle yoga practice integrates postures, breath, and focused awareness to calm the mind and strengthen the body. Begin by relaxing in a comfortable position, observing the natural breath. Practice postures like Pavanamuktāsana and Vyāghrāsana with smooth, controlled movements and coordinated breathing. Maintain awareness of alignment, such as keeping the pelvis level. Vīrāsana is highlighted for its benefits to the feet and mental state, despite potential discomfort from inflexibility. The practice emphasizes eliminating unnecessary movements to settle mental restlessness. Postures like Skandharāsana and Viparītakaraṇī Mudrā are detailed for their physical and energetic effects, including strengthening muscles and balancing prāṇa. Always breathe consciously and maintain control, concluding with relaxation and observation of the body and mind. "When we have many vṛttis... you are restless inside. That is why we practice āsanas: to ensure we do not have extra movements. By eliminating extra movements, we calm our mind." "Viparītakaraṇī Mudrā is excellent for your circulation... It influences your Bindu cakra. You will regenerate energy very quickly." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice of yoga and discipline aligns the practitioner with the divine. All spiritual beings become the God they worship, regardless of religion. Creatures of the dawn awaken for a higher purpose, while those active only in darkness engage in negative actions. Humans should emulate the discipline of the dawn, rising early for practice like the military, to restore balance. True yogic practice extends beyond physical postures to deeper spiritual levels. Great masters from India's lineage demonstrate profound spiritual power, performing miracles like restoring life. This land is considered divine. The current time is an opportunity to stay home with family and cultivate compassion, which is the root of all religion.

Yoga is the science of body, mind, and soul, a practical path to harmonize and unite with the divine. It begins from an understanding of creation. Before the Vedas, there was an endless, dark blue space called śūnyākāśa, which is the body of the Divine Mother. Within that space is endless, desireless consciousness. Between this consciousness and space is a harmonizing, balancing, and uniting energy—this is the true principle of yoga. From this, a vibration, nāda, arises, leading to a flame of light, the Jīvan Jyoti, and then the self-created Śiva manifests. Yoga, in all its forms, is the blessing of Śiva. Human life is one among 8.4 million creatures, gifted with intellect. Our purpose is to be protectors, guided by the law of karma through body, mind, speech, and wealth. Practice requires attention to behavior, thoughts, nourishment, and recreation. True yoga is not mere postures but awakening inner wisdom. Kuṇḍalinī awakening is bliss and enlightenment, not physical contortion. It involves the subtle energy system of nāḍīs and cakras, leading the consciousness from earthly to divine realms. "Yoga is not a part of religion, but all religion is a part of yoga." "Yoga is that science of body, mind, and soul. Keep the harmony between body, mind, and soul." Filming location: New York, USA

The soul of meditation is the Guru Mantra, the essential seed given by the guru. Without the guru's mantra, meditation is lifeless. The mind, restless and hungry, finds calm through this mantra. The real mantra is the Guru Mantra, received with the guru's blessing, not self-chosen. One must be Guru Mukhi, oriented toward the guru, not Man Mukhi, following one's own mind. The guru is a principle that removes ignorance's darkness. This guru-tattva is the light, manifest like electricity in a bulb. The guru embodies the divine functions: as Brahmā, he creates knowledge in the disciple; as Viṣṇu, he protects; as Maheśvara (Śiva), he liberates. The disciple is drawn to this light. Perfecting the mantra involves stages: writing it (likhita), chanting it (vekrī), inner chanting without sound (upāṁśu), mental repetition (mānasika), and finally spontaneous, effortless repetition (ajapa). One makes a commitment (saṅkalpa) for daily practice, offering the results to the guru. This spiritual practice must be protected from negative influences, for its merit is permanent. "Without a Guru Mantra, meditation is like a statue without life in it." "Gu means darkness, and ru means light. He is the one who removes the darkness of ignorance and leads us to the light."

Spiritual growth is a gradual process requiring foundational discipline before higher states. The eight limbs of yoga must be built sequentially, like a house, starting with the ethical base of Yama and Niyama. The inner journey is like climbing a mountain; it is arduous and easy to abandon. Life's fluctuations are constant, but stability comes from accepting the present moment, being grateful for what we have, and letting go of expectations, which are a primary source of conflict. We must first accept and love ourselves to accept others. Trust in the Guru means surrendering inner conflicts, knowing guidance is always present. Problems have solutions; past experiences happen for a reason and make us stronger. The teachings flow through a lineage, and we are all channels. The core practices—satsang, mantra, meditation—are tools given freely, requiring only our love and devotion in return. Inner peace is achieved through contentment and inner cleanliness, not by merely seeking it. "Our spiritual journey is the same; we need to gradually go up and up." "Be in the moment. Be, enjoy the time." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Perseverance in spiritual practice is essential, and the inner self is the sovereign of the human vehicle. Maintain a single target on the path to achieve it; without focus, one feels emptiness and anger. A practitioner, after twenty-four years without perceived experiences, considered abandoning his practice. Observing an ant repeatedly fail yet succeed in carrying a grain of rice up a tree taught him never to give up. The body is a coach; the ten indriyas are its powerful horses, controlled by the mind. Within this coach resides the king, the Ātmā, which is formless and ever-awakened. Viveka, or discernment, is the essential advisor to this king. If viveka is absent, thieves like desire and anger enter and destroy the vehicle. The guru's word is the arrow that drives these thieves away. "For 24 years I’m practicing, but I don’t have any experiences." "Ātmā is Nirākāra: Nirākāra means formless." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
