The Purpose of Human Life
0:15 - 1:04 (49 min)
Chakras are centers within us, akin to tiny points where everything exists. We call them lotuses, the king of flowers, which grow in muddy water and open at dawn during Brahma Muhurta. This pre-sunrise hour is pure, ideal for spiritual practice and study, as consciousness is gentle and unclouded by the day's dust. Each chakra is a lotus within the body, its petals unfolding light and energy to bring consciousness into your being. With age, like a lotus that cannot fully close, we may lose strength. Yoga's practices—postures, breath, and meditation—help restore vitality. Modern life, with chemical food and manipulated seeds, diminishes our natural energy and health. Chakras exist throughout the body, from feet to head, depicted with lotus petals. Their purpose is purification, rising above past karma like a lotus untouched by dirty water. Humans possess these centers for awakening consciousness to the cosmic, unlike animals. We are born not for hatred but to merge with the divine. Our soul, carrying its karma, is like water that evaporates and rains, eventually returning to the ocean of cosmic self. Good and bad karma must be balanced and left behind through good works and the burdens taken by others. Each chakra holds wisdom and symbols, like the elephant Ganesha, representing essential elements for health. Awakening comes through dedicated practice and meditation, which allows consciousness to expand and contract, moving toward liberation.
"Within that point, everything exists; we are inside it."
"Our soul, our life, our individuality, our destiny is with us."

There is God in your instruments
1:10 - 1:50 (40 min)
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."

Instructions for practising
1:55 - 2:46 (51 min)
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."

The Science of Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras
2:50 - 3:35 (45 min)
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."

The Role of Yoga and Meditation in Improving Quality of Life for Cancer Patients
4:00 - 5:07 (67 min)
Yoga and meditation can improve quality of life for cancer patients when used alongside standard medical care, not as a cure.
Studies show yogic interventions, including specific āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation, help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in patients. This improves their sense of well-being during treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, evidence does not support claims that yoga cures cancer. Such false promises are harmful, causing patients to delay effective treatment until their disease becomes advanced and incurable. The principle must be welfare of all, first doing no harm. Yoga is applicable at all stages: for primary prevention through lifestyle, secondary prevention via early diagnosis, and tertiary care to alleviate suffering in advanced disease. More robust, large-scale studies are needed to confirm benefits and identify the most effective techniques.
"Please do not give a false hope that your cancer will be cured."
"Yogic intervention helps in relieving the stress level of patients and thereby improves their sleep."

Concentration on Alakh Puriji
5:15 - 5:40 (25 min)
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."

Guru And Mansic Puja
5:45 - 6:12 (27 min)
The subject is mental worship, or Mānasik Pūjā. This is service to the personal God, the Iṣṭadevatā, chosen by the heart. Worship is performed to draw close to God, to purify and steady the mind for meditation. God does not need worship; the practitioner needs to offer. Mental worship is considered higher than external ritual. One may worship the guru's form as the Iṣṭadevatā. The worship proceeds in the imagination, inviting the deity and making offerings. These include the five nectars: milk, yogurt, ghee, honey, and sugar, each representing purity, essence, and the senses. One offers flowers, fragrance, nuts, fruits, the ego symbolized by a coconut, and money representing desires. The ceremony concludes with āratī, lighting a lamp and incense, and offering salutations to the guru, who embodies the divine trinity.
"The Mānasik Pūjā is said to be higher than the external Pūjā."
"God doesn’t need our worship. We need Him to accept our offerings."

Self is happiness
6:15 - 6:53 (38 min)
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect.
"If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere."
"The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision."

Purify yourself inside and out
6:30 - 7:13 (43 min)
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.
Meeting of the past and present
7:00 - 8:49 (109 min)
This gathering marks the transition of time, where the past meets the present and an unknown future is born. The moment of midnight symbolizes a new beginning, a child arriving. The true lesson concerns how to navigate this passage. Obsession with the past is dangerous and can pull one down. Fixation on an unseen future is an illusion, offering no control. The only point of power is the present moment. One must live there fully, with complete attention. Spiritual practice happens now, shaping karma now. The past must be released, and the future not grasped at. Progress is made step by step, with care and awareness fixed on the current action. This present awareness is the greatest gift.
"When you look back in your past... it will attract you. You will fall down; it is very dangerous. When you look up, you do not see anything."
"The only thing you have to be careful about is to live in the present moment. Fulfill your present moment with all your soul."

Shiva is the light
8:55 - 10:05 (70 min)
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.'"

We are on the path of Alakh Puriji
10:55 - 11:30 (35 min)
The practice of yoga and light sustains us on the spiritual path. I traveled extensively during a clear period, witnessing the strength of practitioners who remained healthy despite widespread illness. The specific practice of Brahmari Prāṇāyāma has been crucial for health. I taught its techniques, which involve balancing vibration between the brain's hemispheres and directing it to the center of the head. This practice is powerful but must be learned precisely for at least one year before teaching others, performed only five times per session. Our path is one of many, all leading to the same goal, connected through the navel as a source. We must continue our daily sādhanā. Furthermore, we should observe prayers at sunrise and sunset, aligning with the light's cycle as illustrated by the story of a man seeing a temple light at dusk.
"Many, many people who practiced exactly what I told you—this Brahmari Prāṇāyāma—were very healthy and good."
"At least one year you should learn this exactly, and then give it further. Otherwise, you will make others, maybe not good, it will be in the body."

In the end everything will be counted
12:50 - 13:45 (55 min)
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."

Fire is God
13:50 - 14:46 (56 min)
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.

Life is one
14:50 - 15:49 (59 min)
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."

15:55 - 16:55 (60 min)
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."

Practicing Yoga Asanas
17:00 - 17:41 (41 min)
We practice Vajrāsana and Vīrāsana for the nāḍī systems. Vajrāsana activates the Vajra Nāḍī, which begins between the big and second toe, connects to the base of the spine, and guides energy to the navel. Sitting in it after eating aids digestion and can help with constipation by relaxing the stomach and straightening the spine. It also balances the sciatic nerve. Vīrāsana, the hero's posture, involves sitting on the heels with toes standing. It warms the body, increases alertness, and with practice, can help repair digestion and headaches. These postures strengthen the lower centers and foot soles, which connect to the body's organs. They develop leg strength, balance, and concentration. Practice must be held steadily to awaken the nerves. "This Vajrāsana is designed especially to strengthen or to activate that Vajra Nāḍī." "This will repair our digestion.

Yoga and the five bodies

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.

A Divine Call and the Search for a True Guru
20:30 - 21:18 (48 min)
A divine call initiates the search for a true guru. A vision of Śrī Kṛṣṇa repeatedly requests kheer, compelling its preparation for a visiting saint's gathering. At that satsaṅg, the saint addresses a devotee by name, revealing profound awareness. When asked if one has a guru, the answer emerges from the heart: one is seeking a true guru. Following given addresses leads to an ashram in India. There, a phrase is heard in sleep: "There is nothing in the jīva, but go to the nitya." Travel continues to another ashram to meet the holy guru. An overwhelming energy is received upon meeting. A book is offered, and through grace, the ability to read Hindi is granted. Mantra-dīkṣā is received on a Thursday after offering fruit. Disregarding advice on travel days leads to immediate difficulties, demonstrating the importance of the guru's word. Returning home brings incessant tears and a longing for the ashram. The guru's loving permission allows return. Translations of sacred texts are undertaken as service, a gift enabled by the guru. Further travels and stays in ashrams follow, filled with divine experiences, protective grace, and deep seva. The guru's presence is ultimately felt permanently within the heart.

Feel the divine sounds of bhajans in your heart

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."

Vegetarian cooking lesson 8, Samosas
22:00 - 22:15 (15 min)
A demonstration on preparing samosas, connecting the process to mindful practice.
We begin by making the dough from a mix of white and gram flour, with oil and water, aiming for a texture that is neither too thick nor too soft. The filling starts with boiling potatoes in their skins, then peeling and cubing them. In very hot oil, we fry spices like coriander and cumin seeds, followed by onion, chili, garlic, and ginger. This spiced mixture is combined with the potatoes to complete the filling. We then roll the dough into rounds, cut them, and shape them to hold the filling. It is crucial to seal the edges very well to prevent the filling from escaping into the oil during frying. The samosas are deep-fried in very hot oil until they achieve a golden color, then drained. This activity is presented as good practice, with the careful sealing metaphorically linked to achieving focused concentration.
"The dough should be neither too thick nor too soft."
