Inner awakening: be with the dharma
0:50 - 1:37 (47 min)
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."

The Role of Yoga and Meditation in Improving Quality of Life for Cancer Patients
3:00 - 4:07 (67 min)
Yoga and meditation can improve quality of life for cancer patients when used alongside standard medical care, not as a cure.
Studies show yogic interventions, including specific āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation, help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in patients. This improves their sense of well-being during treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, evidence does not support claims that yoga cures cancer. Such false promises are harmful, causing patients to delay effective treatment until their disease becomes advanced and incurable. The principle must be welfare of all, first doing no harm. Yoga is applicable at all stages: for primary prevention through lifestyle, secondary prevention via early diagnosis, and tertiary care to alleviate suffering in advanced disease. More robust, large-scale studies are needed to confirm benefits and identify the most effective techniques.
"Please do not give a false hope that your cancer will be cured."
"Yogic intervention helps in relieving the stress level of patients and thereby improves their sleep."

The Seed Has To Die To Become A Tree
4:15 - 4:48 (33 min)
Knowledge is an endless well, not a finite resource to be exhausted.
Great saints of the past have spoken, but they only consumed the butter, not the cow itself. The cow—Sarasvatī, the source of knowledge—remains with us. Feed it with love and devotion, and you can milk it day and night; the well of wisdom is infinite. We have just begun to explore the Manipūra Chakra, the jeweled city within, which is the foundation of life and holds immense spiritual energy. True wealth is not external money but the internal treasure of contentment; desire is what makes one poor. We originate from the endless, void-like Ākāśa and are waves of the primordial sound, Nāda. Like individual raindrops, we separate but ultimately return to the ocean. The navel is the center of this universal process. The vital energies, prāṇa and apāna, flow through channels like the Vajranāḍī, and their balance is essential for life. Our physical form began from the navel, a truth symbolized by the lotus emerging from Viṣṇu's navel. This spiritual knowledge is a feast to be consumed slowly, bite by bite.
"They ate the butter, not the cow. Feed the cow with love. Milk it day and night."
"Those who have the money are the poor. Those who have no money are the rich."

A Monument for Krishnanaji
4:55 - 5:10 (15 min)
A monument is being created in memory of Krishnanaji. Swāmījī requested a monument be placed in the main square of Vép. This model is sixty centimeters, but the final stone monument will be two hundred twenty. Krishnanaji passed three years ago during the COVID time. He was the foundational seed for yoga and the lineage in Hungary. When Swāmījī first visited, he stayed in their home for a month with devotees. Upon leaving, Swāmījī said he had left two seeds there. The entire growth of the system in Hungary is the fruit of Krishnanaji's work. He organized international seminars and an ashram. He was like a citizen of Vép, known by the mayor and community. The monument will stand beside peace trees planted by the mayor and Viśva Gurujī. It will preserve his vivid memory for everyone.
"Now I left here two seeds. Let's see what is going on, what will grow out of it."
"He was really the seed of the seed in Hungary for yoga in life and in the paramparā."

The spiritual family
6:35 - 7:26 (51 min)
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."

Bhajan singing from Slovenska Vas in the presence of Gurudev
8:15 - 8:36 (21 min)
The foundation of grace is complete surrender to the Guru, which removes all fear. The Vedas and Purāṇas seek the offering of your entire being. By surrendering to the Guru, one is promised safe passage across the worldly ocean. Trust is essential; without it, the relationship falters. The saints embody divine mercy across ages. The eternal call is to become humble dust at the divine feet. True freedom and immortality arise from this devotion. The root of everything is the Guru's form, feet, word, and grace.
"Because you have surrendered yourself to Gurudeva, do you have to be afraid?"
"Oh my child, then you will be free forever, immortal."

To be independent
11:00 - 12:14 (74 min)
The Guru's grace liberates the soul from worldly bondage.
Without the true Guru, one cannot cross the ocean of existence. The Guru incarnates to lead beings from darkness to light, granting independence from the cycle of birth and death. Trust in the Guru's name provides protection and leads to liberation, as illustrated by a disciple whose faith allowed him to survive mortal dangers. Conversely, jealousy is a destructive fire that consumes from within. True freedom is not merely political but liberation from inner enemies like desire, anger, and attachment. Worldly conflicts stem from animalistic ambitions awakening in humans. Lasting peace requires wisdom, compassion, and the removal of these negative qualities through divine remembrance.
"Without the grace of the Guru, you cannot cross the ocean of the world and reach liberation."
"O Lord, liberate me gently... and lead me to immortality."

We have to become one
12:20 - 13:54 (94 min)
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."

A Gentle Yoga Practice
16:00 - 17:07 (67 min)
A guided yoga practice focusing on breath, alignment, and awareness. Begin by relaxing completely on the floor, connecting breath to movement. Practice Pavanamuktāsana on your back for digestion, then in a standing position for balance and focus. Maintain spinal alignment and initiate movements from the hip joints. Be aware of your pelvis and avoid locking the knees. Standing poses like Ekapāda Uttānāsana strengthen the legs and improve concentration. Practice with a firm surface for better balance. Āsanas like Bhujaṅgāsana require elbows close to the body to protect the shoulders. Deep, abdominal breathing cleans the inner channels, allowing prāṇa to flow. The practice generates warmth, deepens circulation, and integrates body and mind through conscious movement and breath control.
"Pavanamuktāsana is excellent for digestion."
"When we start to breathe a little deeper, we immediately have more energy and less tension."

Yoga, Āyurveda, and the Journey Beyond: From Vikāra to Turīya
19:05 - 20:00 (55 min)
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."

Respect is important
21:15 - 22:08 (53 min)
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."

How to train our mind?
22:15 - 22:36 (21 min)
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."

Longing for God

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Rijeka Ashram, Croatia. Bhajan singing. We should be careful with our bodies and we should live very healthily. Our practice is very important and also our good food. We are really yogis. We have learnt many things that are really important in yoga. Real yogis should practise yoga every day. We help other people to become spiritual. Some people eat cats and kill them in a very cruel way. We should feel every creature in our hearts. The story of a man who wanted to see God. The story of an Indian lady living near Rupavas who became a holy person. The other story is of a woman in Gujarat who doesn't eat and doesn't drink anything.
