Life is a universal essence present in all beings and elements, sustained by divine grace. God provides this body and the life within it. Life exists everywhere—in air, water, earth, and all creatures. They live according to their nature. A personal story illustrates spiritual perception: while meditating at night, a presence akin to a Guru appeared, prompting a profound experience. Another account involves a mother figure who spoke of life within the earth itself, revealing countless beings. The body is temporary. Some advocate cremation to fully release the spirit, preventing it from lingering as a confused presence. The goal is liberation, like a drop merging into the ocean, becoming one with the whole. True yogis seek this inward unity, not external validation or money. Modern yoga often misunderstands this, focusing on commerce rather than genuine practice. We must look within to realize our true nature. "Life exists mostly everywhere, as we have on earth." "The goal is like a drop merging into the ocean, becoming one with the whole."

Yoga is the seed of spiritual life, cultivated through daily practice and respect. Our existence is a continuous yoga aimed at understanding the divine. This understanding extends beyond the self to encompass all teachers and seekers. Initial efforts in the West faced resistance, with many rejecting yoga due to dietary attachments. Persistence in sharing the practice, particularly in Central Europe, gradually bore fruit. Gatherings grew from a few individuals to hundreds, including diverse seekers from various backgrounds. The core teaching emphasizes integrating spiritual discipline with respect for one's own culture and family. True progress requires consistency in practice and honoring one's roots without conflict.

Consciousness is unbroken and present everywhere, pervading all beings and things. We repeatedly gather to connect with this source, receiving subtle guidance and blessings beyond verbal instruction. The practices shared here are a rare grace, often requiring lifetimes to access. A story illustrates this seeking: a ferryman, upon carrying Rāma, Sītā, and Lakṣmaṇa across the river, refused payment. He instead asked Rāma to carry him across the ocean of suffering. Like that ferryman, one must wisely use the opportunity for a master's presence, seeking guidance on the subtlest level. Our forms are evident, but we seek to understand the formless reality beyond them. Practice prepares the body and mind for this inquiry into where the soul ultimately goes. "The ferryman said, 'I took you over Gaṅgā. So you take me over this ocean of suffering.'" "Only practicing āsanas and prānāyāmas... It’s very good, because without our body, we don’t know what it is." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Peace is humanity's deepest longing, achieved through inner transformation. Outer circumstances reflect our inner state; greed, jealousy, and hate destroy peace. We must be the change we wish to see, serving as examples. True peace harmonizes us physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. Yoga provides a practical path, developing inner peace through spiritual techniques. This inner peace then reflects outward into our families and the world through our words and actions. The teachings and lineage of our spiritual masters guide this work of selfless service and universal unity, inspiring efforts for global harmony. "Be the change you want to see." "One and all, and all in one." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

Yoga is offered as a sanctuary within a large music festival. For eleven years, we provide a daily practice, showing festival-goers how to relax deeply. Many newcomers try yoga here for the first time. We adapt to the fast-paced environment by offering 20-25 minute sessions tailored to individual requests for rest, asana, or meditation. Initial interest often comes from seeing dynamic asana practice. We always begin with simple, grounding exercises, not advanced postures. We emphasize preserving the tradition's purity and spirituality, contrasting with the popular strength-based styles. Our presence in this community space is essential, as many might not seek out a dedicated center. People practice even amidst loud music, achieving a withdrawal of the senses. This demonstrates that deep relaxation is possible anywhere. "Based on this, our prepared yoga instructors tailor the session accordingly." "The astonishing experience we have is that at most they achieve pratyāhāra, the withdrawal of the senses, so that they are absolutely undisturbed by what is happening outside."

The practice of breath and Brahmari requires consistent, moderate daily effort, not excessive exertion. Specific techniques exist, analogous to a balanced meal with various components. The practice involves three primary focal points: the heart, the navel, and the breath itself. One must learn to inhale and exhale properly through the nostrils, cleaning them as needed. The Brahmari technique follows these points and involves working with the breath's subtleties. Practice it briefly, for about five minutes, twice daily. Do not extend Brahmari for too long. The correct method uses the nostrils, with the lips closed and the mouth slightly open. This disciplined practice, done correctly, yields benefit. "You must practice every day." "We should take our breath in and out with both nostrils." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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.

The guru lineage of Yoga in Daily Life. Presentation of YIDL.

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

The sole longing is for the dust of the holy feet, surpassing all worldly and heavenly desires, even liberation itself. Meeting the true Guru dispels all mental confusion and wrong knowledge, revealing the inner truth. The individual flame unites with the cosmic flame when all doubt is gone. External forms veil the one eternal truth within. Many speak only few words, but the Guru's word is profound. The devotee seeks to be accepted at those lotus feet. A true yogi, drunk on the divine name, is imperturbable, seeing no distinction between diamond and stone, free from all desire and fear. "Please give me the dust of your holy lotus feet. This is the only thing I am searching for and longing for." "He’s unmovable, and he’s strong or firm as a mountain, he’s the same in life and he’s the same in death."

The devotional invocation of divine light and guru grace. This is a sequence of sacred chants and salutations. The core practice is the repetitive chanting of names and mantras. The invocations call upon the light of Dip Narayana and the grace of various gurus. The chant "Kali Kali Hare Sava" is repeated as a central devotional refrain. The purpose is to invoke divine presence and blessings through sound. The text concludes with a focus on ultimate truth. The recitation is an act of worship and remembrance. "Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jaya Ho." "Kālī Kālī Hare Savā." Filming location: Austria

All power lies within. Strength of will and mind is essential for self-realization and to change the world. Weakness is death, so one must pull oneself together and rise up now. Meditation and high ideals must be faced directly, never abandoned, for this leads to salvation and reveals one's true nature. An inner fire must burn to reach the goal; without it, one cannot ascend. A constant stream of conscious strength must always flow. "All powers lie within you, so start to rise up now and work it out." "Without fire, you will never get higher. If your heart does not burn, your life will never turn." Filming location: Slovenia

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. God gave spirituality to humans. There is God in the water, earth, air and food also. All creatures got their life from God. The story of Buddha, who dedicated his life to God. The story of a young Indian princess who wants to continue her father's spiritual work. We are like a God but unfortunately, we have lost our way. God gave us much beauty but now we use much makeup. We should know and respect the value of life. There are some people in the world who tortured cats and dogs. But the cat and dog can reborn as a human and vice versa. There are also many very good people in the world. In prayer, we go to God. Be always humble and peaceful. Nowadays many foods are not healthy, some are not even edible.

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.

Morning Yoga practice from the international Yoga retreat Umag, Croatia

The eternal essence, the Ātmā, is the singular sweetness within all existence. The divine flow of grace manifests through many forms, yet the source is one. Just as a single father and mother give rise to many children, the one truth expresses itself through many gurus and disciples across generations. The physical body is temporary, composed of five elements that return to nature, but the ātmā is eternal. This essence is like a single drop that contains the potential of the entire ocean. Every being—humans, animals, trees—possesses this same divine sweetness within. Therefore, one must cultivate purity in every aspect of being and never harbor negativity or harm toward others. The practice of devotion, like the collective work of bees producing honey, allows this inner sweetness to flow forth and unite all. "Otherwise, there is only one Guru, or one God, and then God will not be all Gurus, everybody." "This is not a body, but ātmā, and this is like one drop, and this drop is not like a neat drop. This one drop can make immense water again." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

India, Summer 2005. Report about the Swamijis activities.

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

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.
