The Guru prepares the devotee, freeing them from the cycle of death and rebirth through grace and devotion. Surrender to the Guru, without ego or expectation, opens the heart to become one with the Supreme. Spiritual growth is like climbing a mountain; do not give up, but pause and seek the Guru's strength to continue. Utilize spiritual gifts wisely, not wastefully, to sustain your journey. The ultimate goal is liberation and union.

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 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. "Take the pearls, take the milk, and leave the water." "Our meditation and practice are not about running away but about taking a timeout before returning to the game."

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Nadlac, Romania.

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.'"

Evening satsang from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Bhajan singing. Swami Umapuri says some words about her spiritual development in the Jadan Ashram. She spoke about her experiences with Yoga Nidra. She explains the bhajans of Swami Sivananda and Bhagwan Sri Deep Mahaprabhuji.

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 purpose of human life is to realize the Ātmā within the heart, moving from ignorance to the light of liberation. We are bound to the outer world and identify with thoughts and feelings, believing we are separate individuals. This causes suffering and the cycle of birth and death. The guru provides practices to overcome this false identification and ego. Through devotion and these tools, one can purify the inner self. The goal is to recognize the oneness of the inner self and the Divine, which already exists within. The outer world is manifold, but the inner Puruṣa is one. Do not waste the precious human life in worldly pursuits. "Only your guru can free you from that. He can lead you from this ignorance to the light—the light of wisdom, the light of knowledge, the light of liberation." "The eyes are given to you to see the Lord, and the ears we have to listen to wisdom. With our mouths we shall chant the name of God, and with our hands we should give."

The longing for the divine is the core of spiritual search. External pursuits bring only change, not lasting joy. Saints direct the search inward, where the beloved is found. The essence of creation is Oṁ, the sound and form of God. Knowing this secret, saints abide in eternal bliss. Practice purifies the layers of being, revealing the higher Self. The guru incarnates to bestow the knowledge and path for self-realization. This teaching dispels the illusion of separation from God. "Somehow, the world pulls us outward, but there is always change." "Without Aum, your spiritual practice is senseless." Filming location: Debrecen, Hungary

The heart's door is kept open for the divine, yet days pass in longing without that vision. A constant search persists, night and day. The teaching reveals that the true self is not separate; like oil in a seed, the divine essence is within all. One is the temple, the deity, and the pilgrim. All powers lie within, requiring inner strength to face and dissolve internal obstacles through mantra and consciousness. This fire of seeking is essential, for without it, one cannot ascend. The path involves both this inner realization and a devotional plea for grace and darśan to liberate the heart. "Like oil in the seed, fire in the wood, fragrance in a flower. Like this, my true self is all one." "Strength is life, and weakness is death. All powers lie within you." Filming location: Debrecen, Hungary

Greed destroys spiritual progress, causing a fall regardless of one's efforts. A hardworking man saw an advertisement for a magical golden egg promising wealth. Consumed by greed, he spent all his savings on it, quit his job, and isolated himself to guard it. He eventually cracked the egg, finding only an empty, painted shell. He lost everything. This illustrates how greed corrupts discernment. Another story tells of a rich man who abandoned everything to collect gold from a mythical land. He filled his bag endlessly, forgetting to eat or drink, and died there, still collecting. A true account involves a dedicated swami who left his guru to reclaim ancestral land. After selling it, he bought a motorbike and invested in a business, but met with ruin, ending up serving tea by a roadside. These stories show greed's destructive power, which can be countered by constant remembrance of the guru, not just in distress. Mantra practice requires correct technique, purity of heart, and devotion, which ultimately transcend mere rules. "It doesn’t matter how much work we do and grow higher and higher, and then one of these things comes and we roll down the mountain." "When the virus of greed comes, then we see nothing."

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.

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 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 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 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

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

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."
