Live in a natural way
0:30 - 1:12 (42 min)
Recorded on
This place is a sanctuary of purity and spiritual well-being. It is full of prāṇa and very good for health, as our environment here is clean and free from chemicals. The natural water flows, the healthy trees, and the pure air create a healing atmosphere. People recover from ailments and stress through meditation, prāṇāyāma, and satsaṅg. This is a retreat from the modern world's pollution and materialism. We observe that modern comforts and money often lead to loss and dissatisfaction, unlike the simple, pure life here. The ashram fosters positive community, spiritual practice, and a return to natural living. It is a place for healing, happiness, and reconnecting with essential purity. "All 24 hours and in every direction, we are very clean, with no chemicals inside. This is very much our heritage, our health." "In every country, for all people, there must be yoga in daily life. There must not be yoga." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Yoga and the five bodies
1:20 - 2:37 (77 min)
Recorded on
The individual is the king of the kingdom constituted by the five sheaths: the physical, energetic, mental, wisdom, and bliss bodies. Within this kingdom exist the ten sense organs and countless beings like cells and habits. The king, the soul, must govern through discipline, not become enslaved by citizens like negative habits or uncontrolled senses. Negligence leads to the kingdom's illness and disintegration. Mastery requires balancing the body and mind through the vital energy, cultivated by pure living, mantra, and meditation. Discipline is the foundation of yoga. "Do not be the slave of your citizens. You have to equally control and take care of them." "Your habits, your qualities, these are the horses." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria
The Human Path: Family, Culture, and Daily Yoga
2:45 - 3:36 (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

There are harmony, balance and unity between the consciousness and space and that is yoga. Creation started from this point by multiplying with the sound and light.

Around the world -- Yoga against diabetes from Czech Republic
4:15 - 4:22 (7 min)
Recorded on
Yoga addresses modern diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes through holistic practices. Prolonged stress disrupts physical and mental balance, leading to illness. The system views these conditions from a holistic perspective, where emotional and psychological stress contribute alongside organic dysfunctions. Practices such as relaxation, āsanas, and meditation can influence insulin-producing cells and control disease factors. These techniques shape our attitude toward health, cultivating relaxation, balance, and discipline to achieve physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The exercises are systematically arranged for accessibility, even for the elderly or those with limited mobility. Practitioners need only the determination to improve concentration, physical condition, and mental calmness. Teachers should emphasize slowness, calmness, and harmonization, instilling the principle of observing one's body and breath. The practice supports reducing adipose tissue and involves specific movements performed with mindful observation. "Yoga practices shape our attitude toward health and life." "Practitioners should be instilled with the principle of perceiving their own body, observing the rhythm of the breath." Filming location: Czech Republic
There is God in your instruments
4:30 - 5:10 (40 min)
Recorded on
The human life is for spiritual practice to realize the divine within. Practice brings harmony to the family and peace to the individual. Perform daily rituals, remember the divine name, and live with gratitude. This life may be the final opportunity to complete one's purpose and attain the supreme. Many techniques exist, but disciplined practice is essential. Do not teach a method until you have fully mastered and experienced its results yourself. True mastery comes from dedicated practice over time, where the practitioner becomes an instrument of a higher power. The path of sound, like in Brahmari Pranayama, holds immense power to connect with the ultimate reality. "God is within your heart. The most important thing is to perform sādhanā." "First, you should understand, then practice the technique exactly, and learn it yourself first." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Sakar and nirakar
5:15 - 5:44 (29 min)
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
The Essence of Satsaṅga
5:49 - 6:14 (25 min)
Recorded on
Satsaṅga is the association with truth and the gathering of the virtuous. 'Sat' means truth, God, purity, and the divine place. 'Kuśaṅga' is negative association, marked by anger and fear. Satsaṅga is to be with all in oneness, creating peace and harmony. It is like birds from different directions gathering at one tree in the evening. Diverse individuals come together in kindness, beyond country or religion. Life in an ashram exemplifies this unity through shared work, meditation, and care. The cook, like a mother, provides for all without judgment. Observing a flock of sheep reveals harmony, as mothers and young reunite in peace. A fruit tree offers its bounty to all, its branches lowering to give. A family spanning generations represents the five sheaths of being, living in joyful unity. Without Satsaṅga, there is Kuśaṅga, leading to negativity and separation. Prayer and bhajan sung together forge this oneness. "Satsaṅg is the way to the cosmic self." "One in all and all in one."

Concentration on Alakh Puriji
6:55 - 7:20 (25 min)
Recorded on
A meditation on becoming one with the divine energy within and without the body. Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Concentrate on your whole body, from head to legs and back. Focus on each part. Today, concentrate on Alak Purījī. Become your being completely thyself, for Alak Purījī is within and without. Be within this energy completely. Relax every part of your body, but remain present within it. In each part, you can feel prāṇa, power, divine light, and Alak Purījī. All is Alak Purījī’s energy. Expand thyself, but only as Alak Purījī. Do not open your eyes, for that means you have lost yourself. Becoming one is not easy, but the practice is given to continue for many years. Conclude by chanting five times in the whole body, rubbing the palms, placing them on the face, and then opening the eyes. "In and out, all is Alak Purījī’s energy." "Be thyself, no colors, no anything, Alak Purījīs." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The Science of Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
7:25 - 8:10 (45 min)
Recorded on
The science of kuṇḍalinī and cakras is the definitive path to the highest consciousness, requiring a genuine guru from a true lineage. This knowledge is endless and encompasses all yoga practices. The deities and stories are symbolic representations of this inner science, not literal. For instance, the tale of Kṛṣṇa and the gopīs symbolizes that the human body is a divine gift; without spiritual practice, one loses this "dress" and is reborn in an animal form. Another story of Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī tests a devotee's greed, showing that worldly prosperity can distract from true devotion. These are teaching tools. Kuṇḍalinī is not about sexuality; tantra rightly means expanding consciousness to liberate oneself. All reality exists within the human body and being. "Kṛṣṇa did not take that dress away. That dress is His skin." "Tan means expand. And 'trā' means 'to liberate.' Expand your consciousness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Shiva is the light
9:40 - 10:50 (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
Instructions for practising
10:55 - 11:46 (51 min)
Recorded on
The foundation of practice is knowledge, discipline, and adaptation. Each posture has a specific effect, and the sequence is crucial. When you adopt a system, you must follow its fixed procedures. However, you must know your own bodily capacity and limitations. If a posture causes pain or is contraindicated for your condition, you must avoid it. This is an individual matter. The teacher's first duty is to know what to do and what not to do for themselves and their students. Practice must be consistent; knowledge unused is lost. Yoga is a comprehensive science for mastering oneself, not merely physical movements. You must preserve and transmit knowledge, otherwise it perishes. "Every yoga teacher's first duty and priority is to know what to do and what not to do for themselves." "Knowledge must be renewed daily; otherwise, we are lost."

In the end everything will be counted
11:50 - 12:45 (55 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a science for human well-being. Observing practitioners during the pandemic revealed that those maintaining a vegetarian lifestyle within a specific community were largely unaffected, unlike many general yoga practitioners. This points to lifestyle's role in health. Yoga's techniques, like Brahmari Prāṇāyāma, are often derived from nature. This practice uses a humming breath to create internal vibrations, addressing issues like headaches and tension. It requires correct posture and breath from the navel. Practice is foundational, but yoga extends beyond physical techniques to a deeper connection within. The true guide removes obstacles, allowing inner potential to unfold, and does not claim the role of doer. "Those who were not eating eggs, meat, alcohol, drugs, etc., they were not affected." "Brahmari Prāṇāyāma affects the whole body. The inner vibration can restore the health of the body itself." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
Fire is God
12:50 - 13:46 (56 min)
Recorded on
The subject is the many forms of fire, from physical to spiritual. The fire for cooking is sacred, belonging to Annapūrṇā, the goddess of nourishment. The kitchen is her temple, requiring purity in thought and action. Respect the seeds of food, which are life. Another fire is within the body, essential for life and digestion. The ceremonial fire of Yajña purifies and protects. The fire of cremation purifies the soul, and the fire of a forest burn demands respect. The internal fires of jealousy and anger are destructive and must be calmed. Fire exists even in water, as all elements are interconnected. In Haṭha Yoga, practices like Agnisāra awaken and balance the internal fire for health. The body is divine and must be cared for without yielding to anger. "Annapūrṇā, where there is, we have everything." "Eighty percent of our diseases are because our agni is not active." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Every soul is pure
13:50 - 14:43 (53 min)
Recorded on
The truth is unchanging reality, while the world is temporary illusion. From childhood, we inquire into our nature, yet remain in ignorance, claiming superiority over others. Only Brahman is real; this world is like a soap bubble. Our inner instrument, the antaḥkaraṇa, consists of mind, intellect, awareness, and ego. When purified, it leads to liberation. Every soul is pure but coated by karma and destiny. We must love all beings, for a tiny soul contains immense power. Social education requires understanding time and place, acting with positive intention. In the end, we face truth alone; our worldly companions and fears fall away. What is everlasting is real. "Brahma satyaṁ, jagan mithyā. Only Brahman is the truth. And this jagat is mithyā." "Every soul is coated by karma. The soul is pure, but coated by that destiny. And that destiny is what we are creating." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
How shall we go further?
14:50 - 15:50 (60 min)
Recorded on
The unity of all beings resides in the divine. Different paths and names lead to the same truth. All are coming to the Guru's grace. The soul is one, like a drop returning to the ocean. The physical body and worldly possessions are temporary and left behind. All humans, animals, and life are to be respected equally. A realized yogi lives in divine joy, seeing no difference between stone and diamond, beyond all dualism and desire. That yogi lives in the world as if dead to the ego, immersed in emptiness and peace. The essential practice is to be humble, loving, and without anger, recognizing our shared humanity and spiritual origin. "Like the ocean, we know how much water is in the ocean. And it goes up in the air nicely." "This yogi is living, but inside he is dead. He lives as if he is dead, but he lives, because there is nothing in him, there is only emptiness."

Life is one
15:55 - 16:54 (59 min)
Recorded on
Life is eternal, and the science of chakras reveals our fundamental oneness. Life is endless. The physical body is a temporary layer, like a garment changed, but the life within does not die. The true self is layered like an onion; peeling back the layers reveals the essential Ātmā. All existence is one, like countless drops from a single ocean. These drops—steam, fog, rain, rivers—ultimately merge back into the oceanic source. Our perceived separation is an illusion. The process of realizing this unity is yoga: the eternal harmony, balance, and union between consciousness and space. All beings share this one life. Impurities of thought create bondage, so purification is essential to merge into the immortal ocean within. Chakras are centers mapping this journey from individuality to oneness. "Life is ever life. Death is ever death. So we are life, and we will always be life." "Yoga means union. Yoga means union. There are only two. Yoga. And so there is between this, so that means that yoga is eternal."

18:10 - 18:55 (45 min)
Recorded on
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

A temple is built day by day, stone by stone through shared contribution, creating a timeless legacy. What is done in life remains; what is not done vanishes. We celebrate the completion of a unique Yajña Śālā, thanking all who contributed. The work was hard, but the result serves all. Credit and divine mercy belong to everyone collectively. "Day by day, stone by stone. We will also do it one by one." "The name remains, not the body. What we have not done vanishes like dust." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
