Agni Sāra Kriyā is a practice to strengthen the digestive fire for health. Blood pressure and diabetes are linked companions; the aim is to harmonize them. This kriyā is best done in the morning after fasting for several hours. Agni means fire, and the digestive fire, jāṭharāgni, is essential. A strong digestive fire ensures strong organs and prevents issues like diabetes and headaches. Poor digestion can harm eyesight and cause headaches, which also stem from relational disharmony affecting the liver. This single fire is powerful for health. Consistent practice takes only one and a half to two minutes. Laziness is the enemy; we only have yesterday and today. Personal, continuous practice is vital. Changing spiritual paths means losing progress. Agni Sāra Kriyā improves memory, cleanses the blood and joints, burns excess fat, balances hormones, and strengthens immunity. Avoid it after recent heart procedures or stomach surgery. The digestive fire is also Vīraha Agni, the fire of spiritual longing. The practice involves exhaling, holding the breath out, and moving the stomach. Do not exceed three or four rounds. It positively affects the kidneys, liver, and circulation, reducing fat levels.

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

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

Welcome back, and remember the three books containing all wisdom. We are very happy for your return after three months. While waiting, I recalled Swāmījī's teaching from years ago. He said he had given us everything through three books: a yoga book, a chakra book, and the Līlā Amṛt. He explained that all answers are there. For a physical problem, consult the yoga book. For spiritual development, see the chakra book. For bhakti, turn to Līlā Amṛt, our bible. This thought came at the airport. So we have everything with Swāmījī here and in these books. We are happy to see you and wish you a good time here, with less stress. We look forward to satsaṅg and lectures. "You only have to look in those three books. Everything is explained there." "When you have any problem with your bhakti, look into our bible: the Līlā Amṛt, the Living Light." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

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.

Education requires recognizing the teacher and learner within oneself. If you cannot find the guru inside, you cannot recognize an adequate external guide. One must simultaneously be governed and govern, embodying this contradiction to harmonize self and society. True education awakens self-education first in oneself, like a candle needing its own flame to light others. Modern schooling historically replaced one fixed identity, like a peasant, with another, like a worker, but today that rigid model is destructive. We need education for flexible identity, learning to manage energy for fight or peace, as in yoga. Freedom is not limited by others but created through them; society is a necessity for liberty, not an obstacle. Our words and thoughts matter, as we are largely water, and they influence our very structure. "If you are not able to recognize the guru in yourself, how can you recognize your guru in another person?" "The other person is not an obstacle but a necessity for me to live my freedom."

The divine is beyond worldly distinctions and grants fearlessness. God is described as both merciful and without conventional mercy, existing beyond human duality. To this divine, stone and gold hold equal value, and no worldly ruler inspires fear. The devotee finds sanctuary in the Teacher and is called to live bravely, without worry. Happiness arises from meeting the Lord with joy, transcending limited identities to express universal respect. The path is one of letting go and realizing infinite joy within. "God is always happy and merciless." "Never be afraid. Fearlessly and bravely live." Filming location: Slovenia

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

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

The path to spiritual titles and realization is one of humility, not mere position. True attainment is measured by inner development and equal vision, not literary knowledge. Humility attracts divine grace, while pride destroys the quality of any attainment. The principle is higher thinking coupled with simple living, which means using necessities without attachment or pride, not rejecting them. Complete self-realization is rare and reserved; most practitioners experience only glimpses of the Self. These glimpses come through contemplation and grace, not through egoistic claims. Ancestral spirits can cause disturbances, requiring ceremonies rooted in a universal belief in the soul that transcends religious labels. True peace extends to all elements of existence. "Laguta se prabhuta mele—the more humble you are, the more you attain a divine position." "He is renouncing everything, but things do not renounce him."

Morning Satsang by Vishwaguru Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda.Chinta is the worries about worldly problems; it is like a black hole. Chintan means thinking. Chintan on the atma can remove the chinta. If we put our problems into the hands of Gurudev our situation will be better. The cause of chinta is sometimes lying in our attachments.

A global crisis prompts reflection on humanity's unique spiritual and physical condition. Why does a pandemic target humans specifically, across all nations and beliefs? All creatures possess the same fundamental layers of existence, yet humans alone wield the power of action beyond mere survival. This century's afflictions stem from human karma. The widespread turn to meat consumption after the world wars, increased alcohol use, and the industrial production of food have introduced disease. Consuming such nourishment stores illness within, which may emerge later in life. Even vegetables now contain chemicals. The suffering we see originates from human actions, creating a poisoned environment. This is the age of Kali Yuga, where negative forces are prominent. True religion is self-control, and real yoga extends far beyond physical postures. We must first ensure our own spiritual protection to safeguard others. A great conjunction of planets is occurring, a rare celestial event. The coming Satya Yuga is governed by a divine timescale vastly different from our own. Ultimately, all paths return to the yogic essence within. "Slowly, attacks come. It is like a beautiful, big tree: one or two bugs enter, then slowly worms multiply and eat the entire trunk from within." "Practice yoga and daily life, and sleep very peacefully. Look inside; see what will be good. You will be protected." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A call to conscious living through prayer, diet, and daily awareness. Religious practice is declining across many faiths, leading to negative societal outcomes. People should pray sincerely according to their own traditions. Modern habits, like excessive meat consumption and poor health choices, are harmful. The rise of veganism stems from compassion, witnessing the killing of animals like a newborn calf. We must respect all life. Daily consumption and farming practices are damaging the earth and water. A simple morning practice can reorient one's life: upon waking, affirm "I am human," honor your mother and the Earth, and respect water as divine. This conscious foundation leads to a better life. "Therefore, in this way, we should—all of us here—we should pray according to your religions." "And so, everyone, they have in their heart. And everyone, they have according to their religions, and they are doing as it is." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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

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 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

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.

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."

The Viṣṇu Sahasranāmam is a sacred recitation of divine names. It originates from the Mahābhārata, where Yudhiṣṭhira, grieving after the war, asks Bhīṣma for the supreme refuge. Bhīṣma's response forms this text, a core of Hindu devotion. It is widely recited, especially in South India, often in a musical style popularized by M.S. Subbulakshmi. The practice involves daily prayer, typically in the evening. The essence of the thousand names is ultimately concentrated in the name of Rāma. Reciting this single name holds the power of the entire text. The concluding tradition includes verses dedicated to Lakṣmī. "By glorifying whom does one attain physical, mental, and spiritual peace and purity?" "All you have to say is: 'Śrī Rām Rām Rāmeti Rame Rame Manorame, Sahasranāma-tattulyaṁ Rāma-nāma varānane.'"
