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."

Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna is a regenerative practice akin to Kāya Kalpa, renewing the body and spirit. Practicing collectively provides mutual energy and support, preventing the isolation and difficulty of solitary practice. This process purifies the body's five elements. The natural environment, such as a meadow with an old tree, radiates vital energy that complements the practice. The body requires internal space and tolerance in its joints, maintained through exercise and diet. Impurities from dead tissues and improper food cause disease; purification comes through prāṇāyāma, fasting, and herbal soups. Consuming pure ghee from specific cows is advised over other fats, and massaging a cow can balance circulation. Natural methods, like using earth to clean teeth, are superior to modern products. The practice cleanses the body, thoughts, and mind completely. "Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna is like what we call regenerating. It is like Kāya Kalpa." "In this small seed, you can carry this whole tree. It will grow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Kuṇḍalinī, Śakti, and Kriyā Yoga are interconnected through life's ceremonial obligations. Kuṇḍalinī is the conscious energy within, connected to the nāḍīs and chakras. This energy is feminine, called Śakti. Its awakening requires fulfilling sixteen Vedic saṃskāras, or ceremonies, which liberate the soul from karmic debts to ancestors and elements. These include rites from birth to death, like ear piercing for health and the final funeral rites. Without completing these, ancestral souls remain trapped, causing disturbances in life and blocking spiritual progress. Kriyā Yoga and Kuṇḍalinī awakening thus depend on purifying these obligations through prescribed ceremonies, like the śrāddha for ancestors, to clear foreign energies from the body. "Kuṇḍalinī is a kind of consciousness which has clarity, and it leads the aspirant to the highest level of consciousness." "By the untasty, it’s not only untasty, but it’s called untasty kriyā... Then your Kriya Yoga will be successful. At that time, your Kuṇḍalinī will be pure, and it will awaken." Filming location: San Francisco, USA

The path is simple, requiring only genuine feeling. Lord Śiva and the Guru respond to bhāva, or the sincerity of the heart, not elaborate rituals. A simple offering made with pure love is more valued than a grand one without it. This principle of inner devotion is the essence of the relationship. Rituals like abhiṣeka are for our own purification. The Guru's grace manifests in simple, direct encounters that impart deep understanding beyond any book. He meets each person exactly where they are, guiding with immense care and patience. The journey begins with a single step taken in sincerity. "With Lord Śiva it is simpler. He works on bhāva. Bhāva means feelings." "The bhāva which he has, those who are offering hundreds of things to me, they even don’t have that love for me which this person has."

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

The spiritual path is one of unity and inner realization, received through grace. We are led and protected by the Master's grace, which provides profound opportunities for inner work. What is received must be utilized consciously or it may be lost. The essence of all spiritual traditions is one, like a single ocean whose water circulates through clouds and rain. All religions and their divine figures originate from and return to the same singular divine source. The human body is composed of the five elements, and we must learn to live harmoniously within them. Humans are meant to evolve toward the divine, but harmful actions against life create suffering and regression. True practice fosters peace, harmony, and respect for all beings, transcending distinctions of country or creed. Yoga is the realization of this fundamental oneness. "Use it or lose it." "Water is water. Maybe it is ocean, in clouds, or a very fine drop of that water, but it is the ocean." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

India, Summer 2005. Report about the Swamijis activities.

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 divine name is the means to cross the ocean of worldly existence. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī is the incarnation for all beings. By contemplating His name with grace, one cuts down desire, anger, and greed. The world's illusion remains far away through the Guru's grace. His name is the boat for crossing; the Satguru's grace is that boat. One who receives this grace finds their passage. At the time of dissolution, the Guru's light will manifest within the heart. By always holding His enchanting form in mind, one need not fear the net of illusion. The name itself provides absorption in divine feeling and ensures safe crossing. "For the beings of the world—the jīvas and jinn—His name itself is the boat to cross the ocean of existence." "By the grace of always contemplating Him, desire and anger... For the jīvas and jinn, by His name, one is always immersed in divine feeling." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Meditate, O mind, to dispel ill-intentions and remember the Guru's words. Through meditation, one gains wisdom and progresses toward becoming a yogi. It is the means to fulfill duties and make life fruitful. True renunciation arises from seeking detachment while still within worldly bondage. In all actions, remember the Lord. "Through meditation, you will become wise. Through meditation, you will become a yogī." "One who searches for detachment while in bondage becomes a renunciant."

The devotee's heart longs solely for the Satguru. Wandering the world finds no friend like the Guru; without that presence, there is weeping and no rest. Attachments obscure the path, preventing peace. Hearing the divine name awakens the seeker. The Guru's eternal kindness bestows the refuge of the lotus feet. This translation is merely an interpretation, not definitive. The essence is praise for the Guru's arrival, which brings joy, dispels illusion, and cuts the bonds of endless sorrow. "Without that fragrance, the whole world weeps, and I can find no sleep; I can find no rest, day or night." "Satguru āye, mera mana harṣāye. Dhanyabhāga mere Satguru āye."

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

Sanātana Dharma is the eternal, natural law based on one's inherent nature, with its foundation in purity. It originates from the time of Śiva, who was first in this creation. The practice begins with purifying one's diet, which purifies the body and mind, allowing entry into the divine. This dharma is ancient and universal, with all contemporary religions stemming from its Vedic root. The process of realizing this eternal truth is yoga, which is the human task. Understanding karma and reincarnation is essential, as individuals are fully responsible for their destiny. Suffering settles past accounts and teaches. A realized guide is crucial for this awakening. Following one principle, like truthfulness, constitutes the tapasyā that leads to Sanātana Dharma. "Āhāra śuddhi leads to sattva śuddhi. If we take pure food, then our physical body will become clear like a diamond." "The process of realizing the ātmā in us is yoga. This is the task of each human being."

Public lecture with Vishwaguruji from Poprad, Slovakia. Why don’t we have time? Why are we suffering from stress? And even more if we have more money? If we would practice yoga three hours a day we would have happy life. Meditation can help us. Vishwaguruji gives a short and practical insight into the system of Yoga in Daily Life.

The presence of the guru is eternal and found within. Disciples share experiences of finding the master and the transformative path of service and surrender. One traveled from afar, receiving a task to establish a center, fueling years of karma yoga through the guru's visits and guidance. Another sought a true guru, finding him immediately through a poster, beginning a lifelong discipleship. A third, raised in Christian tradition, found the same divine love in the ashram's atmosphere and received a mission to start a center. The guru's guidance extends to every detail, embodying infinite patience. His current silence is a period of testing and inner growth, not absence. He remains the sole guide, eternally present within the heart, listening and protecting. The physical form is secondary to the constant spiritual presence and blessings. "One second of Swāmījī’s smile or energy or attention has to last for a whole year." "His not talking doesn’t mean he’s not there. Ask the same questions in your mind, and you will still get answers." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Practice with Swamiji from Auckland, New Zealand.

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." Filming location: Croatia

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."

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."
