Atma is spotless
0:25 - 1:11 (46 min)
Recorded on
One word transmits a message to all, like rain falling equally on every creature. In difficulty, know you are carried by God, not abandoned. A true yogi, beyond all ritual, desires nothing, not even from Shiva. The soul is spotless, like the endless sky. Our body is a temporary shell; the eternal Ātmā within is one with the Guru's heart. Purification is for the mind, but the soul itself is already pure. "When the difficult time comes, then you should know that you are now with God." "Ask anything. He said, 'Okay, if you want to ask me anything, then get up.' What he said to Shiva, 'Go from here.'" Filming location: Dungog, New South Wales, Australia

Inner awakening: be with the dharma
2:05 - 2:52 (47 min)
Recorded on
The inner awakening reveals the hidden powers within consciousness. The creator fashioned 8.4 million beings, each entering through distinct gateways like sweat, womb, or egg. The individual soul travels through limitless space, entering our solar system to become a citizen of Earth, taking birth according to its karma in forms from bacteria to humans. From the perspective of the Ātmā, the divine light, all are one—it is unbreakable, everlasting, formless, and spotless. The individual soul, or Jīvātmā, is a mixture of this Ātmā and the non-self. Duality exists only when identified with the individual form. In human form, this Jīvātmā is shaped by karma. Performing good deeds makes one a dharmātmā, a soul of righteousness, where sin is overshadowed. Committing wrongs makes one a pāpātmā, a sinner destined for suffering. Both heaven and hell are experienced on this Earth according to one's actions. Humans possess the mighty tool of intellect, given for protection, yet it is often used for destruction. The essential power is divine love, without which nothing spiritual is attained. "One in all and all in one. That is the reflection of that Ātmā." "Lord, God doesn't come without love. You can try a thousand things, but God will not come without love." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Around the world - Yoga from Presov

Presentation of Yoga In Daily Life from the city of Presov, Slovak Republic.
Respect is important
4:15 - 5:08 (53 min)
Recorded on
The power of language and respect shapes spiritual life. Words carry energy, influencing our inner state and relationships. A story illustrates this: a man feared the yoga pose called Śavāsana, the corpse pose. After this, the name was changed to Ānandāsana, the bliss pose, to remove fear. How we speak is crucial. We do not "take" a mantra; we may "get" it as a sacred gift, which changes our entire attitude. Modern communication often loses depth and respect, using abbreviated or vulgar language absorbed from media. This influences us subconsciously and must be guarded against. Addressing others with respectful titles, like "Devī" for a woman, cultivates different inner feelings. The manner of giving, even food, carries energy; offering with the right hand and respect changes the offering's quality. Respect extends to spiritual objects; keeping a mālā in a clean, valued place allows it to retain its energy. Physical posture also matters; sitting like a king or giving like a beggar changes the inner experience. Pronunciation in mantra is vital, as a single sound can change a word's entire meaning. "Your entire spiritual path becomes different. Yes, just try to think about this: it is a completely different approach." "If we are not aware, this will come subconsciously inside. We need to put a firewall in front of us, not to allow such thoughts and such language to become common to us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We must become one
6:00 - 6:23 (23 min)
Recorded on
We explore the nature of sleep, dreams, and the sense of self. In sleep, we seem to be nothing, yet impulses like hunger or the need to urinate arise. We also speak and think while sleeping. In dreams, the "I" travels to distant places and experiences events, like dying, only to awaken and find it was not real. There is a separation: the body sleeps here, but the self is elsewhere. A story is told of one who went into the forest, fasted, and saw a dog with bread. He reached for it, but found nothing. He then had a realization, opened his eyes, and saw all was well. The instruction is to make yourself. When with others and speaking, if it is not good, go and sleep elsewhere. The core problem is we cannot remove this sense of self. We must become one. Do bhajan and use the mālā. That practice continues within your body, and we all come into one. "Night and day, what do we want? Only at night, in sleeping, this and that." "Make thyself, make yourself." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Hatha Yoga Techniques
6:25 - 7:01 (36 min)
Recorded on
Haṭha Yoga is a path to self-realization through balancing the body's energies. It is one of five yoga paths suited to different natures. The term "Haṭha" represents the dual forces of sun and moon, or Iḍā and Piṅgalā nāḍīs. The practice aims to harmonize these opposing energies so they work together. This balance allows the central Suṣumnā nāḍī to awaken. Key techniques include the six cleansing acts, Ṣaṭkarma. Netī cleanses the nasal passages and relaxes the brain. Kapālabhāti purifies through forceful exhalation, calming the mind for meditation. Trāṭak is steady gazing, which purifies vision and develops concentration. Śaṅkhaprakṣālana cleanses the entire intestinal tract, teaching the spiritual process of digesting and releasing experiences. Agniśāra and Nauli Kriyās stoke the digestive fire and strengthen the core. Practice integrates these techniques into daily life, refining the senses and requiring inner strength. Consistent practice is essential, as knowledge unused is lost. "Haṭha Yoga means bringing these two great forces into balance so they work together, not against each other." "This technique helps us truly take in, digest, and release." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
How to train our mind?
7:05 - 7:26 (21 min)
Recorded on
The mind is restless and must be tamed. A king had a horse no one could ride. Many trainers failed by forcing it. A wise trainer did not force it. He simply followed the horse everywhere, building association. He let the horse come to him. Then he rewarded it with grass and slowly introduced a blanket. Eventually, he gently climbed on while petting it. The horse accepted him. The training took over a year through patient trust. Our mind is like that horse. Let it run; that is its nature. Do not force it. Slowly train it towards devotion. When it calms, it will return. Grace makes this training possible. "The trainer was different. He took the horse and simply let it be." "Slowly, slowly, train your mind towards Guru Bhakti." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The health of the bones
10:45 - 11:37 (52 min)
Recorded on
Holy water is a gift of purification for all occasions, representing positive thought and clean energy. Physical and mental dust are constant, requiring regular cleansing like washing the hands. The body's skin is a sensitive, self-cleaning organ that must be cared for naturally. Avoid artificial products like commercial creams, lipsticks, and soaps containing alcohol, which dry and damage the skin. Use pure water, natural oils, butter, or earth instead. The physical body, the annamaya kośa, is sustained by vegetarian food and simple daily practices. Yoga āsanas and prāṇāyāma are essential for health, focusing on gentle movement over extreme postures. Strengthen bones with natural oils and ghee, not through meat consumption. Practice simple exercises regularly, even for seconds at a time, to maintain the body. True care comes from natural substances and consistent, moderate practice. "Give this to all your friends and everybody for Christmas." "Holy means the clean and have a good energy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The spiritual family
11:45 - 12:36 (51 min)
Recorded on
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." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

God is everywhere
13:25 - 15:06 (101 min)
Recorded on
The sixth day of Navarātri honors the goddess Kātyāyanī, who embodies supreme power and devotion. Kātyāyanī was born from the combined energies of the gods to defeat the demon Mahiṣāsura. The sage Kātyāyana performed intense austerities, and the goddess incarnated as his daughter. All deities bestowed their weapons upon her, making her the slayer of Mahiṣāsura, known as Mahiṣāsuramardinī. She is the most powerful of the nine forms, easily evoked for protection from all negativity. Worship is an act of devotion that awakens divine qualities within. True worship requires preparation, humility, and aligns with one's own nature, ultimately leading to the Guru's essence, which contains everything. "She is the most powerful out of all the nine avatars, and she is the one who kills the most powerful demon." "Worship means we approach certain qualities, we awaken certain qualities in our worship, in our pūjā, in us, in ourself." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

We have to become one
17:20 - 18:54 (94 min)
Recorded on
The subject is detachment and the true Self. The soul seeks to merge into oneness with the Supreme, like space containing all things. This unity is eternal but difficult, as it requires releasing all attachment. Attachment to wealth, body, and relationships creates conditions and suffering. Renunciation is challenging. One must break attachment to join with God. Nothing belongs to you—not body, thoughts, or intellect. Only the soul is eternal. When the soul departs, no one accompanies it. We must move beyond duality and concepts of "mine" to realize the true Self as boundless consciousness. This is not a mental understanding but a state of being. "I am neither the mind, intellect, nor the elements. I am that eternal blissful consciousness." "There is only one God. The duality we perceive is a human creation."

Guru is eternal
20:15 - 20:57 (42 min)
Recorded on
The Guru principle is eternal, transcending the cyclical divine play of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. These deities change and serve each other across ages, but the Guru's seat, the Gāḍī, remains. This seat is not the individual but the eternal principle they temporarily represent. Humans originate from the Saptaṛṣis, creating lineages of saṃskāra, not hierarchy. Our spiritual practice seeks the answer to "Who am I?" within this eternal shelter. The physical lineage continues through specific seats and disciples. "Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva will change, but the Guru will remain." "One should not sit on that chair... that Gāḍī will take that one." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Raksha Bandhan
21:00 - 21:12 (12 min)
Recorded on
Rakṣā Bandhan celebrates a sacred bond of protection and love. This full moon marks a beautiful reunion beyond physical ties. The bond signifies spiritual brotherhood and sisterhood, inviting blessings into life. It cultivates gratitude and care, standing as an emotional and spiritual connection. The story of Draupadī and Kṛṣṇa illustrates this protective promise. Another tale tells of a queen who sent a rakṣī to an invoker, transforming conflict into protection. In Dharma, all are one family; the thread may break, but the bond of love and support endures. This occasion is for honoring that pure relationship. "From today onwards, I will always be there whenever you need me to protect you." "The thread may break, but the bond of love, support, gratitude, and protection never breaks."

Listen to only ourselves and our Gurudev
21:15 - 21:55 (40 min)
Recorded on
A true holiday is for inner contemplation, not external distraction. Ancient seekers valued solitude to reflect on life and meditate. Modern holidays often involve noise and escapism, which drown the inner voice. Spiritual progress requires revitalizing the mind through satsang and the Guru's presence. This gathering is an opportunity for solitary reflection amidst community. Utilize this time to recharge spiritual energy and leave worldly concerns behind. Unity with spiritual family provides essential support in this age. "To progress in spirituality, we need inner evolution. The only way for that is to be in satsang, to have darśan with a self-realized person, a Guru, and to be in peace." "If we want to quit a bad habit, we need a support group and must be that support for each other." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga, Āyurveda, and the Journey Beyond: From Vikāra to Turīya
23:00 - 23:55 (55 min)
Recorded on
Yoga and Āyurveda address disease, or vikāra, in the physical and mental realms. Physical vikāra arises from disregarding natural harmony in diet and living. Mental vikāra manifests as the six afflictions: desire, anger, attachment, greed, pride, and ego. These lead to cintā, or chronic worry, which consumes one from within like a termite hollowing a tree. The remedy is to renounce attachment to what is lost and to practice svādhyāya, the study of one's own unfulfilled chapters. Meditation relieves this tension by revealing the unreality of persistent worry. Deeper practice involves mastering the three states of consciousness—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—through Yoga Nidrā. This conscious sleep purifies the subconscious, resolves latent conflicts, and can recharge energy. Mastery leads to the fourth state, chaitanya, a wakeful consciousness that perceives past, present, and future. "Vikāra is something which is destroying itself, like when fruit is lying a long time and is rotten." "The root of righteousness is mercy." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand
