The Thread of Love and the Roots of Devotion
0:30 - 1:40 (70 min)
Recorded on
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

Recorded on
Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. In reality, there is no sunrise or sunset - only the Earth is moving. It is said that the Moon is balancing the Earth. There are many different constellations. The Moon has a strong effect on nature. Sometimes, if someone goes on the wrong way it can influence others. We have to practice pranayama systematically. The master of the mind is the Moon; the principle of the Moon is water and water means movement. It is balancing our whole body.
Opening Address: Yoga for World Peace and Non-Violence
3:00 - 3:07 (7 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a universal principle for achieving peace, beginning with inner peace. Our organization supports this conference to promote non-violence and harmony, values shared by yoga and Hindu teachings. Personal qualities like truth, compassion, and self-control are essential for this journey. We believe all religions are equal paths to one God, and yoga serves as a balancing practice for all. This conference aims to exchange ideas on using yoga's principles to foster global peace and respectful relations among diverse peoples. "Yoga is not a religion.

The Path of Yoga for Universal Peace
3:15 - 3:38 (23 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the universal manual for achieving peace. It is far more than physical flexibility; it is the interconnection of body, mind, and spirit, extending from the individual to all humanity and nature. Lasting peace has not been found through material wealth or political philosophies alone. Yoga, founded on non-violence, provides the path. It is a way of life that harmonizes all faiths by directing one inward to know the self. Transforming the world begins with transforming oneself. This practice requires no money and can be started immediately. By investing in yoga education and making personal practice a priority, individuals become ambassadors of peace. The collective action of many yogis can change the world. "Yoga is the only practice that gives peace to everyone without harm, judgment, or discrimination." "To fix the world, you must fix your mind." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic
The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
3:45 - 4:06 (21 min)
Recorded on
Life's deepest treasure is complete and everlasting bliss, the crown of self-realization rooted in God-realization. Rare beings attain this pearl of Paramānanda. A seeker's deep prayer brought him face-to-face with his divine master, seeing the form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He became a true disciple, devoting body, mind, and soul. He received the highest spiritual initiation, instantly attaining samādhi. His life was a permanent establishment in the highest spiritual experience under his master's guidance. As a spiritual successor, he built and established āśrams, tirelessly spreading the light. He preached non-dualism, non-violence as the highest religion, and the unity of all humanity through song and service. His devotion was Parabhakti, love without reservation, repeating the divine name for over eighteen hours daily. Such love overcomes all obstacles between us and God. He became a living testament that this realization is possible. "My eyes filled with tears, and I fell to my knees. I knew I had found the everlasting light of my life." "All humans belong to one religion, and that is humanity." Filming location: Bola Guda, India
Atma is king of the body
4:10 - 5:15 (65 min)
Recorded on
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
The real meditation
5:20 - 6:09 (49 min)
Recorded on
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."

Spirituality and Religion: The Rivers and the Ocean
6:15 - 7:22 (67 min)
Recorded on
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
Bhajan evening in the Jadan Ashram
7:30 - 8:09 (39 min)
Recorded on
The senses are powerful and create the entire world of entanglement. The ten senses within the body are difficult for any yogi to fully master. The world is ensnared by their play, particularly by the lower senses like taste and procreation. All beings, from Brahma to animals, are bound by these senses. Their force is the great delusion that must be conquered. "The senses are a powerful force of delusion; what has this entangled world become?" "All beings of the world are under the control of these senses. What has this world become, so entangled?" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Bhajan singing in the Jadan Ashram
8:15 - 9:33 (78 min)
Recorded on
The promise to the divine must be fulfilled. A vow made to the Guru and the Lord is an absolute commitment that defines the spiritual path. This promise is the essence of devotion and the means to liberation. The devotee's role is to uphold this word above all else, regardless of the coming and going of other followers. The ultimate aim is to realize one's divine nature, supported by grace. Fulfilling this sacred promise is the core duty. "He has to keep his promise to the Lord." "When I die into my eyes, they will mutely say, 'I will be God.'" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
9:40 - 10:02 (22 min)
Recorded on
The essence is the unstruck sound, the Anāhada, realized through devotion beyond form and thought. This is not an experience of the body or mind. It is beyond all attributes, beyond the forms of Rama or any shadow. It is the formless void that holds the supreme form. Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it. It is understood only through the grace of the true Guru. One must surrender at the divine feet, seeking mercy and blessings for liberation. The devotional offering is the path. "Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it." "Please bless me with your blessings, I request you, O Guru." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Bhajan evening from Jadan Ashram
10:10 - 10:47 (37 min)
Recorded on
The compassionate Lord Śiva resides within the heart and bestows liberation. He is the primal Lord whose radiance fills all universes. Taking shelter in him ends pain and brings divine happiness. He cuts the noose of bondage with his own hand and liberates the soul. Worship and meditation upon this blessing cure diseases and remove all obstacles. Success is bestowed in the heart, and one obtains everything without asking. Focus the mind on the Guru in the heart to dispel all sorrow. Through the Guru's grace, all ignorance is destroyed, revealing the true self. One who serves the True Guru never falls into hell, and all fears vanish. Merge the mind in the True Guru. "He Himself respectfully calls out to His devotees." "One who meditates on this blessing, their obstacles and troubles will not remain." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Anahata chakra
10:55 - 11:41 (46 min)
Recorded on
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
Do everything with bhava
11:45 - 12:01 (16 min)
Recorded on
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."

We will go one day
12:05 - 12:48 (43 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. We always worry about death. Death is a universal law. Our mind is always restless. We can train it by mantra. Manas is the storehouse of memories. Yogis are not attached to things. Only the bond between the disciple and the Guru is permanent. The story of a man who planned that when Yama came, he would hide somewhere. We should meditate always not only when we are in trouble. We should remember God every day, at least a little bit. Unfortunately present Indian generation is beginning to forget their roots. Birth and death come and go, but remember the name of God.
Symbolical stories about Tat Tvam Asi and Ganesha
12:55 - 13:33 (38 min)
Recorded on
The teaching is the great statement "Tat Tvam Asi"—You are That. A father teaches his son to look beyond names and forms to perceive the single cause of all existence. Just as all clay pots are essentially clay, and all gold ornaments are essentially gold, the diverse universe is a manifestation of the one Brahman. The essence is not found in the many effects but in the one cause. Another story illustrates this: circling one's parents, who represent the cosmos, is wiser than circling the entire world. The divine Self, Tat, is not separate from your true Self, Tvam. To know this is to know everything. An experiment with salt dissolved in water demonstrates how Brahman permeates all reality, indivisible yet present everywhere. All rivers merge into the ocean and become indistinguishable; all pollen merges into honey. Your true identity is that unity. "From that nothing, this beautiful plant grows." "Tat tvam asi, you are that Brahma." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

There is one Soul
14:30 - 15:53 (83 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from retreat at Mt. Shasta, Washington State, USA. The ocean is the origin, the creation. Nada is the resonance, it is the Supreme. Vishwaguruji creates a sound from the sea-shell. The elements were emerging from the sound of the creation. There are uncountable Souls in the body like the cells. Humans are fighting in vain, there is one Earth, each of the drops are from the same origin and will dissolve again. Similarly, there is one Soul. Real yoga is to love and understand the body, like when we are practicing Yoga in Daily Life.
A Gentle Yoga Practice
16:00 - 17:07 (67 min)
Recorded on
A guided yoga practice focusing on breath, alignment, and awareness. Begin by relaxing completely on the floor, connecting breath to movement. Practice Pavanamuktāsana on your back for digestion, then in a standing position for balance and focus. Maintain spinal alignment and initiate movements from the hip joints. Be aware of your pelvis and avoid locking the knees. Standing poses like Ekapāda Uttānāsana strengthen the legs and improve concentration. Practice with a firm surface for better balance. Āsanas like Bhujaṅgāsana require elbows close to the body to protect the shoulders. Deep, abdominal breathing cleans the inner channels, allowing prāṇa to flow. The practice generates warmth, deepens circulation, and integrates body and mind through conscious movement and breath control. "Pavanamuktāsana is excellent for digestion." "When we start to breathe a little deeper, we immediately have more energy and less tension." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā: Purification of the Intestine and Stomach
18:00 - 18:40 (40 min)
Recorded on
This lecture details the Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā purification techniques. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the cleansing of the entire intestine using warm, lightly salted water, performed early in the morning on an empty stomach. It involves drinking water and performing specific movements and postures to guide the water through the system. This practice is beneficial for conditions like high blood pressure and digestive issues but is not advised for those under 15, individuals with active ulcers or hernias, or pregnant women. Preparation includes a light diet the prior evening. The process continues until the expelled water runs clear. A strict diet must follow for at least one week, avoiding alcohol, meat, fish, eggs, and raw foods. Kunjal Kriyā is the cleansing of the stomach, performed after Śaṅkha Prakṣālana by drinking unsalted water to the point of fullness and then voluntarily expelling it. This practice helps purify the stomach and can aid those with bronchial asthma. The session concludes with rest and a meal of specially prepared kicharī. "The best time to do Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is in March, the beginning of September, the end of May, and before the winter." "After Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, you have to keep a diet for at least, strictly, seven days, one week, and up to one month." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
There is only one reality
18:45 - 20:01 (76 min)
Recorded on
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

Do not waste your human life
21:20 - 22:20 (60 min)
Recorded on
Dharma is the path of righteousness, while adharma is its opposite. We each have a personal duty to follow. Jealousy and ego divert us from this path. Dharma protects those who protect it. In the Mahabharata, Arjuna was conflicted about fighting his family, but Krishna instructed him to uphold dharma by opposing adharma. Divine incarnations occur to restore dharma when evil prevails. The current Kali Yuga is still early; a time will come when dharma nearly vanishes. Human birth is a rare blessing after passing through millions of life forms. What we do with this life determines our future. Four blessings are essential: divine grace, scripture, the Guru, and self-effort. The Guru's grace is paramount, guiding and protecting, but we must take the initiative. We must follow the Guru's instruction without logic, as the Guru sees past, present, and future. Calm the mind and let thoughts pass without engaging them. Cultivate contentment and avoid greed. Students should embody five qualities: the crow's determination, the crane's concentration, the dog's alert sleep, eating little, and living away from home for discipline. Be in the company of truth, satsang, which brings lasting happiness. Fulfill your duty to yourself first, then to others. Do not give up; the Guru protects the disciple eternally. Perform selfless service without desire for recognition. Surrender fully. Do not dwell on the past or future; reside in the present. Use the tools given—mantra, meditation, satsang—to attain inner peace. "Dharma rakṣati rakṣitaḥ." He who protects dharma, dharma protects him. "Karma karte ro, phal kī cintā mat karo." Perform your duty; do not worry about the result. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
