Symbolical stories about Tat Tvam Asi and Ganesha
0:05 - 0:43 (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
Gurudev always works for his bhaktas
0:50 - 1:48 (58 min)
Recorded on
The immortal Self is the truth of your being, realized through surrender and patience. The story of Naciketā illustrates the path. He waited three days for Yamarāja, the lord of death, undistracted by temptations. His sincere inquiry into what lies beyond death revealed the immortal ātmā. This knowledge freed him. Similarly, spiritual progress requires unwavering dedication and the patience to endure life's shaping trials. Attachments at death bind the soul to further cycles, as shown by the story of a man who kept postponing his spiritual journey and was reborn repeatedly near his family. Surrender to the Guru's guidance is essential. Do not analyze the Guru's instructions; simply follow. He sees all time and shapes you for your ultimate freedom. Trust completely and let go. "Just as all things that come will go, what will I do with all these materialistic things? I want to know what happens after death." "Guru ājñā avichāraṇīya. We are not going to find logic behind this... simply follow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Do not waste your human life
1:55 - 2:55 (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

The Four Aspects of Grace and the Path to Self-Love
4:35 - 5:08 (33 min)
Recorded on
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." "We cannot really love others if we don’t love ourselves."

We will go one day
6:10 - 6:53 (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.
The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
7:00 - 7:21 (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

The light that upholds the universe is the Guru, the cause of crossing life's ocean. You are that light, upholding divine honor. Meeting the Lord is the greatest honor, sanctifying life through endless cycles. The Guru bestows the jewel of the Supreme Sovereign.

All desired tasks are accomplished, and life becomes successful. For a moment's Darśana, one studies for hundreds of births; the Guru strengthens faith, and the devotee swiftly crosses the ocean of existence. "If you practice Japa, remain absorbed in meditation on the Self, you will attain the state of Nirvāṇa."

The yogi's sleep is a state of yogic consciousness where wakefulness is known within sleep, and day is known within night. It is a sleep without support, upon a white stone slab. In that sleep, one knows the day within the night. It is a sleep of knowledge, leading to the state of Nirvana. Through this practice, one meets the Supreme Person. The true form is revealed when one meets that Person. The guru's assembly reveals the true knowledge. The body is without a country; the divine person is wondrous. One who worships in this way is absorbed in the guru. "Us nindrāme jagratā jāne, punirātri me divasu jñānī hai." "Deha binā deśikānī hai, Deva Puruṣa dabhuta havāliyā."

There is one Soul
10:50 - 12:13 (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.

There is only one reality
13:50 - 15:06 (76 min)

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
Anahata chakra
15:10 - 15:56 (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

Support the flame of life within you
16:55 - 17:42 (47 min)
Recorded on
The inner fire of tapasyā purifies the self through renunciation and steadfastness. All experiences—good and bad—arise from within our own consciousness, not from external sources. We project our inner negativity onto others, but blaming others only multiplies those negative qualities within our own awareness. True renunciation means letting go of attachment, anger, hate, and desire. Tapasyā is the inner fire that burns away all that is temporary and negative. This spiritual discipline does not require a remote location; it can be practiced wherever you live. Your consistent practice can make your own dwelling a holy place, radiating spiritual energy. The mind is restless and deceptive, like a reflection you cannot grasp directly; you must go beyond it. Your mantra and inner will are your supports. Ultimately, you alone must walk the path to quench your spiritual thirst; the source will not come to you. Happiness and divinity are already within you, given freely. "Everything is within us. Be happy with this. And if there is weakness, then pray for that energy." "Tapasyā is a fire which burns all negative qualities; everything burns. Fire is one of the best elements which purifies everything." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Moon and Mind
19:45 - 20:53 (68 min)
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.
The Thread of Love and the Roots of Devotion
21:00 - 22:10 (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

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
The real meditation
23:20 - 0:09 (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."
