0:40 - 1:48 (68 min)
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.

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."

The Healing Bridge: Integrating Yoga into Modern Medicine
3:00 - 3:09 (9 min)
A holistic yoga system offers a vital complement to modern medicine within a globalized, rapid, and restless world. Western medicine excels at structural issues but faces challenges with widespread psychosomatic conditions. Applying yoga occurs on three levels: as preventive self-care to reduce systemic costs, as a supportive adjunct to enhance medical treatments, and as a primary treatment for specific functional or psychosomatic ailments. Encouraging patients to practice the complete system, rather than seeking quick fixes, allows them to resolve their own issues through self-knowledge. This path addresses the root restlessness driving the demand for rapid, universalized treatments that often fail. The methods provided are excellent for both prevention and fostering genuine well-being.
"When someone comes with a particular complaint, I advise them: 'Practice the Yoga in Daily Life system as a complete system.'"
"People suffer because they are globalized, rapid, and restless. Consequently, they seek quick, rapid, and universalized medications and treatments—an approach that often fails."

The Silent Revolution: Yoga as the Antidote to Mind Pollution and Failed Leadership
3:15 - 3:38 (23 min)
We need a silent revolution in leadership and consciousness. Old models have failed, creating crisis. Leaders are overwhelmed, lack self-awareness, and cannot inspire, leaving people disengaged. The solution is changing leaders. We are entering a cognitive age where mind care is paramount. Control your thoughts, for they become your destiny. Media exaggerates violence; data shows heart disease and cancer are far greater threats. The real danger is mind pollution—the poisoning of our minds. Yoga is for non-violence and peace. It is a systematic science for mastering the mind and achieving inner peace. A peaceful society guarantees the right to self-realization. Yoga accelerates human growth and is vital for well-being and social harmony. We must go public, integrate yoga into all education and leadership training, and promote it globally.
"Control your thoughts, for they trigger your emotions and feelings. Control your emotions, for they become your words."
"Yoga is a systematic, conscious science of human development. Its main technique is gaining mastery over the mind, stopping the internal dialogue."

We will go one day
3:45 - 4:28 (43 min)
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.
The Four Aspects of Grace and the Path to Self-Love
4:35 - 5:08 (33 min)
The four aspects of Kṛpā illuminate the path to self-love. Deva Kṛpā is the mercy of the gods, granting the human incarnation necessary for liberation. Śāstra Kṛpā is the mercy of the holy scriptures, which contain the teachings of the gurus. Guru Kṛpā is the mercy given by the guru, triggered by the disciple's devotion and service. Kuṭkī Kṛpā is the mercy one gives to oneself. This self-love is not ego, which is a low vibration of taking, but a high vibration of giving. Many avoid self-love, fearing it is ego, yet one cannot truly love others without loving oneself. A practical form is sending loving, healing energy to one's own body, which can have profound physical effects. The process to cultivate this begins with self-acceptance, proceeds through self-understanding via inquiry, and culminates in the desire to give and forgive oneself. This inner work is essential for spiritual growth.
"Love each and every living being, if not more, then at least as much as yourself."

Symbolical stories about Tat Tvam Asi and Ganesha
6:00 - 6:38 (38 min)
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."

Do everything with bhava
6:45 - 7:01 (16 min)
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 Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
7:05 - 7:26 (21 min)
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."

The meaning of Bhajan
10:40 - 12:07 (87 min)
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."

The spiritual path
12:15 - 12:46 (31 min)
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."

There is one Soul
12:50 - 14:13 (83 min)
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.
How to overcame vritis
14:20 - 15:53 (93 min)
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."

Practising with Vishwaguruji
16:00 - 16:57 (57 min)
A gentle yoga practice integrates postures, breath, and awareness of the subtle energy channels.
Begin by lying on the stomach, placing the elbows down with care. Slowly sit up into a kneeling posture, sitting on the heels with hands on the thighs. The body contains many energy channels, or nāḍīs, with three primary ones: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. A central channel is the Vajra Nāḍī, a source of immense power for the whole body, related to the area between the toes. Practice involves specific postures like kneeling backbends and seated forward folds, coordinating movement with breath. The practice of Sarvahitāsana benefits all systems of the body. Conclude with listening practices and Brahmrī Prāṇāyāma to cultivate inner balance and self-awareness through sound. Regular, simple practice leads to ease.
"There is one nāḍī. You know the word nāḍīs—the nerves."
"This Sarvahitāsana, for example, myself—every day, two and a half hours, I am practicing that."

Do not waste your human life
17:45 - 18:45 (60 min)
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.

Spirituality and Religion: The Rivers and the Ocean
20:05 - 21:12 (67 min)
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."

The real meditation
22:10 - 22:59 (49 min)
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."

Anahata chakra
23:55 - 0:41 (46 min)
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."
