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. "When we place our head at the lotus feet of Gurūdeva, then there is nothing to worry about." "In the lotus feet of Gurudeva are all the pilgrimages." Filming location: Slovenska Vas, Slovenia

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 Guru's light manifests on earth as pure knowledge, requiring a living guide for correct spiritual practice. This divine principle, the Guru Tattva, is the same in all true teachers, yet disciples share an intimate, familial connection with their own. The guru's physical form is a vessel for this light; entering its radiant aura transforms one's energy. Even in the guru's physical absence, gathering with devotion in satsaṅg magnetically draws that divine presence. The quality of satsaṅg depends on the participants' internal energy. Approach it not as obligation but with joy, for your own energy determines the atmosphere. To elevate personal energy, engage in singing bhajans. Consciously replace negative thoughts with positive ones to rewire the mind toward happiness. A spiritual life must be a life of joy and inspiration, rooted in the constant feeling of connection to the divine. "When bhaktas are together and singing my name, thinking on me, the Hari, the God, that divine energy comes to that place." "Satsaṅg is not an obligation, but satsaṅg is a joy."

The guru's grace can alter destiny. Everything depends on our karmas. What is written in your destiny will happen. A story illustrates the guru's power to change this. A king's guru met the Vedāntā, the destiny writer, going to inscribe the fate of the king's newborn twins. She declared one son would live in poverty selling wood from a horse, and the other would hunt, barely catching one animal daily. The guru warned her she would regret this. The guru then left. The king was later killed in an attack, and the twins were raised in poverty by a potter, fulfilling the destined misery. Years later, the guru returned. He instructed the wood-selling brother to sell his horse each day, forcing the Vedāntā to provide a new one each time to fulfill the destiny. He told the hunter to only hunt a golden deer, ignoring all other animals. The Vedāntā was thus forced to provide a golden deer daily to meet the decree of one kill. The brothers grew wealthy. The Vedāntā, overwhelmed, begged the guru for forgiveness and agreed to rewrite their destiny to become kings again, which then occurred. "Just be careful that you do not regret your decision later." "Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam." 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

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 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

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 divine lineage is invoked and praised, its grace and power are extolled. The Guru is the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and spiritual attainment. The gathering is reminded of practical conduct. The supreme Lord bestows happiness, wealth, and removes all obstacles and diseases for the devoted. The one who longs for the divine is liberated from sins. The heart is awakened by the Guru's light, dispelling darkness forever. "Meditation's root is the Guru's form, worship's root is the Guru's feet, mantra's root is the Guru's word, attainment's root is the Guru's grace."

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

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.'"

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 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. "The easiest option is to let go, put it down, and allow the mind to become peaceful." "Gurudev, you do what you are doing."

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

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.

A guided session integrates mantra, meditation, and āsana for holistic practice. Begin by sitting comfortably and chanting the Gāyatrī Mantra to greet the inner and outer light. Relax the entire body systematically, from forehead to legs. Observe the natural breath, receiving fresh prāṇa and releasing stress. Concentrate on the mantra, observing thoughts without attachment. Conclude the meditation with gratitude and conscious breathing. Perform a series of āsanas including Ānanda Āsana, Pavanmuktāsana, and Sumeru Āsana to stretch and strengthen the body. These postures work on the spine, limbs, and core, renewing energy. Practice prāṇāyāma to regulate breath flow, followed by final chants. "Just be your mantra in the breathing process." "Observe as your heartbeat and the rhythm of breathing become slower and slower with relaxation." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

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."

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

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.
