0:30 - 1:09 (39 min)
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.

Purify your body and eat proper food
1:15 - 2:12 (57 min)
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."

God is only one
2:20 - 2:56 (36 min)
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.

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."

Experiences of bhaktas about Vishwaguruji
3:45 - 4:54 (69 min)
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.

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.

About the thousand names of Vishnu
5:55 - 6:25 (30 min)
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.'"

How do we practice Bhramari?
6:30 - 6:49 (19 min)
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."

Gurudev is always merciful and loving
6:55 - 7:25 (30 min)
The grace of the guru is the ultimate refuge. The master's love is evident in his tireless presence for devotees, disregarding physical exhaustion to remain with them. There are many types of guides: parents, teachers, and finally the supreme Sadguru, who is essential for liberation. All pilgrimages exist at the guru's feet, making his physical arrival a profound blessing. The story of Dhruva illustrates perfect devotion; through his guru's mantra and dedicated meditation, he attained a permanent place in the heavens. Similarly, the guru constantly elevates disciples, forgiving all mistakes and never abandoning them. The guru's grace alone can free one from the endless cycle of birth and death, granting ultimate liberation. A story tells of two pilgrims seeking purification in the Ganges. They finally rest at an ashram whose guru had never visited the river. That night, they witnessed the Ganges, Yamuna, and Sarasvati—appearing as blackened goddesses—come to purify themselves by touching the dust of the guru's feet. All gods and goddesses take refuge in the guru. Therefore, having the guru's shelter removes all sorrows and sins, purifying the seeker completely.

The yogic sleep of the realized being is a state of wakeful awareness. In that sleep, one knows wakefulness and makes the night bright as day. The senses are withdrawn yet perceiving, unattached like a white lotus in muddy water. One abides in the self, radiant on the throne of the heart. Wherever one looks or hears, there is no ordinary thought or sight. This is the sleep known to saints and sages, where consciousness remains fully conscious.

Disciples remembrances and stories about Gurudev
10:30 - 11:28 (58 min)
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 spiritual family

The quality of our era is determined by our inner state. While some lament this age, it offers unique tools like rapid travel and distant connection. The key is to extract only the nourishing essence from the vast information, like the swan separating milk from water. Our experience of time depends on our inner qualities. This gathering is a timeout to calm our inner dialogue, not to escape life but to gain clarity before re-engaging. We require the support of our spiritual family for strength. Utilize this time for serious practice, particularly prāṇāyāma to settle the agitated mind and prāṇa. Calm the body through deliberate movement to quiet mental disturbances. Simplify your environment and focus intently, avoiding distractions like constant drinking which disrupts inner fire and focus. Move from mere belief to direct understanding.

A morning practice integrates physical postures with breath awareness to prepare the body and mind. Begin by lying down, interlocking fingers behind the head, and lifting the upper body with an exhalation to feel the back stretch. Move through sequences to stretch the shoulders, back, and legs, coordinating each movement with the breath. Practice lateral bends and forward folds with a straight spine. Engage the abdominal muscles with controlled leg lifts. Conclude with seated prāṇāyāma, focusing on alternate nostril breathing without counting cycles. Observe the natural breath flow and use a mantra to maintain focus, allowing thoughts to pass without analysis. Feel peace filling the heart with each breath.
"With every exhalation, try to deepen the position a little."

The primordial sound Oṁ connects all humanity through its varied pronunciations across traditions. Scriptures state the universe began with this sound. As it traveled, the vibration transformed into "Amen" and "Āmīn" in other faiths, revealing a universal connection. This symbol is a gift for all mankind.
A restless mind is like a monkey snatching a banana. The struggle continues as long as one holds on. The teaching is to let go. Place the banana down; the monkey takes it peacefully and calms down. Similarly, stop wrestling with thoughts. Surrender them. Practices like meditation and devotion slow the mind. A peaceful mind resides in the present, reducing stress and increasing bliss. True peace comes from surrendering all expectations to the Master.

Yoga is the seed of spiritual life, cultivated through daily practice and respect. Our existence is a continuous yoga aimed at understanding the divine.

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.

Strengthening the fire
20:55 - 21:25 (30 min)
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.

What does Sanatana Dharma mean?
22:50 - 23:41 (51 min)
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."

Kriya and Kundalini
23:45 - 0:31 (46 min)
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."
