The beauty of life is found in its natural state, not in artificial enhancements. Nature displays a beautiful spectrum of color and age. Fashion and chemical products like makeup stem from desire, which hinders higher consciousness. These items are expensive, full of chemicals, and create dependency while damaging the skin. Yoga practice regenerates the body, improves circulation, and supports glands and organs. Natural oils like sesame or olive oil are healthy for the skin, unlike blocking creams. Our diet is crucial; natural foods are needed as the body will produce what it lacks. Avoid excessive meat, linked to cancer, and processed foods. Dedicate time daily to yoga and prāṇāyāma for health, happiness, and true beauty that comes from within. "Fashion kills people... As long as you have desire, you cannot proceed towards higher consciousness." "Yoga regenerates our body, the cells, our skin. It is great support for our gland systems, organs, and blood circulation." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The divine principle of Śiva embodies the universal balance between opposing forces. All traditions worship the one God, who manifests through various forms. Śiva represents the conscious force that maintains equilibrium between positive and negative energies, which coexist in all creation—humans, animals, and nature. These dualities are inherent from birth, like twins with different natures, yet both are sustained within a greater harmony. Our spiritual practice involves recognizing and balancing these inner forces. Physical balance exercises are a direct method to cultivate this inner stability, aligning body, mind, and spirit. Focused postures and breath work prepare us for deeper meditation, fostering contentment and peace. "One side is what we call the sāttvic and spirituals, the holies... But the others also have that; they are very much doing wrong things, fighting. Yet both have to be balanced, like birth and death." "In each and every creature, there are two—negative and positive. Not only in humans, but also in other creatures—animals, trees, fish, and everything—they have that nature and are working with it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Haṭha Yoga is a supreme path requiring correct practice. The techniques of nauli and basti are essential for purifying the digestive system. A proper diet is foundational: eat vegetarian meals every five to six hours, leaving space in the stomach, and fast overnight. This physical purification supports the higher goal where the conscious self masters the body, not the reverse. True practice transcends mere physical techniques or brief study; it demands lifelong guidance from a genuine master. Theoretical knowledge alone is insufficient, like holding a speck of dust compared to the mountain of practical wisdom. The aim is complete independence, where one desires nothing, not even from the divine. "Leave space for solid food, liquid food, and what we call liquid—also water. Give the stomach some empty space." "If you want to give me something, then I wish you would just go away from here." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is a universal principle for achieving peace, beginning with inner peace. Our organization supports this conference to promote non-violence and harmony, values shared by yoga and Hindu teachings. Personal qualities like truth, compassion, and self-control are essential for this journey. We believe all religions are equal paths to one God, and yoga serves as a balancing practice for all. This conference aims to exchange ideas on using yoga's principles to foster global peace and respectful relations among diverse peoples. "Yoga is not a religion. It represents the original balancing principle that promotes nonviolence and peacefulness." "To achieve peace in the world, we must start by achieving inner peace ourselves."

Yoga is the universal manual for achieving peace. It is far more than physical flexibility; it is the interconnection of body, mind, and spirit, extending from the individual to all humanity and nature. Lasting peace has not been found through material wealth or political philosophies alone. Yoga, founded on non-violence, provides the path. It is a way of life that harmonizes all faiths by directing one inward to know the self. Transforming the world begins with transforming oneself. This practice requires no money and can be started immediately. By investing in yoga education and making personal practice a priority, individuals become ambassadors of peace. The collective action of many yogis can change the world. "Yoga is the only practice that gives peace to everyone without harm, judgment, or discrimination." "To fix the world, you must fix your mind." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

Faithful practice is the seed of attainment. Humans suffer greatly from their relationships and have abused nature beyond even animals, becoming the most developed yet most troubled creature. Intellectual knowledge alone is insufficient; devoted practice is essential. A story illustrates this: two brothers pursued different paths—one intellectual knowledge, the other devotional practice. The intellectual brother criticized the devotee's ritual errors. Later, seeing the devotee walk on water through pure faith, the intellectual realized his own knowledge was hollow. He was told the key is a pure heart in practice, not perfect technique, just as a seed grows regardless of how it is sown if the soil is good. Do not waste time in deliberation; practice faithfully with what you have. "Too much reading also leads you nowhere. It’s only intellectual information. Therefore, practicing is very important." "When you will pray with a pure heart, a good heart, if your mantra is pronounced correctly or incorrectly... The fruits will be there." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The disciple must never abandon the need for the guru or the teachings, for that is the gravest error. The guru is the principle that leads from ignorance to knowledge. This Guru Tattva is the essential diamond, not the physical form, yet it is embodied to provide tangible guidance. God aids the seeker by sending the guru, who is thus revered as indispensable. The aim is to merge the individual self with the cosmic Self, like a river entering the ocean. This is the Advaita understanding, where the one supreme reality is reflected in all individuals. This merging is the true purpose of yoga, achieved through the guru's grace and teachings. The embodied form concentrates this divine energy, making darśana transformative. The state beyond the three guṇas is inexpressible; it can only be pointed to as 'not this, not that.' "The moment you think you know everything, very soon you will find yourself asking, 'Where are the bricks? Where is the parachute?'" "God will send your friend with the boat. And the Guru is here."

The initiation of eight sannyāsīs was a highlight. The Master decides readiness; these were not easy individuals, each a long effort to guide. One is profoundly honest, immediately embodying the role. Another prepared for decades through hardship. Three were from Australia, one from Israel, and one Indian who left too quickly. The final one is a devoted and humble soul. Your spiritual progress is ultimately in your own hands. Teachers and masters can only support you; the decisive action is yours. A story illustrates this: disciples, jealous of their Master, trap a bird and ask if it is alive or dead. The Master replies its fate is in their hands. Your liberation, like the bird's life, depends on your decisions. Do not delay in good actions. Regarding dress, disciples should wear white; sannyāsīs wear orange. Becoming a sannyāsī is serious, not a fashion; it helps carry the spiritual light but requires true readiness and independence. "Master, if you know everything, then tell us what is in my hand." "My son, whether this bird is alive or dead depends on your hands." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 180b

Spiritual growth is a gradual process requiring foundational discipline before higher states. The eight limbs of yoga must be built sequentially, like a house, starting with the ethical base of Yama and Niyama. The inner journey is like climbing a mountain; it is arduous and easy to abandon. Life's fluctuations are constant, but stability comes from accepting the present moment, being grateful for what we have, and letting go of expectations, which are a primary source of conflict. We must first accept and love ourselves to accept others. Trust in the Guru means surrendering inner conflicts, knowing guidance is always present. Problems have solutions; past experiences happen for a reason and make us stronger. The teachings flow through a lineage, and we are all channels. The core practices—satsang, mantra, meditation—are tools given freely, requiring only our love and devotion in return. Inner peace is achieved through contentment and inner cleanliness, not by merely seeking it. "Our spiritual journey is the same; we need to gradually go up and up." "Be in the moment. Be, enjoy the time." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The final spiritual result is determined in the last moments of life, where one can undo a lifetime of good. Persist in spiritual practice regardless of difficulty, for the seeds of devotion never perish. Many struggle but keep faith. Time is fleeting; do not assume a long life remains. Spiritual energy must be awakened with awareness and directed rightly, lest it cause destruction. Purify the inner faculties: mind, intellect, consciousness, and ego. See the world as one family under the creator, Śiva Tattva. The cosmic principles of creation, sustenance, and dissolution operate through divine play. Human birth offers liberation, but acting against creation degrades one back into animal realms. Preserve the pure qualities within your lineage; mixing them leads to decline in this age. Practice yoga postures named for animals to overcome latent tendencies and cultivate human virtues like mercy and non-stealing. This practice leads to realizing the universal Śiva consciousness. Connect to the holy source through practice, scripture, and the elements. Persist without hurry. "Do not celebrate the day too early; wait until the sun sets." "If you protect dharma, dharma will protect you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The resonance of Aum is the fundamental vibration of all existence, connecting Earth, the lokas, and Brahmā loka. Consciousness has no desire, while the inert world cannot act. All apparent forms arise from the one resonance of Akāra, Ukāra, and Makāra. The seeker must follow the inner self, as everything external is temporary and leads to separation. Worldly life, or saṃsāra, possesses no lasting essence and is the source of suffering through attachment. The individual soul, like a drop of water, is separated from the ocean of oneness and journeys through various states, longing for reunion. Liberation involves recognizing this transient nature and turning inward toward the eternal. "Ekobrahman duttye nasti. That Brahman is only one." "In oneness, there is no separation."

The light that upholds the universe is the Guru, the cause of crossing life's ocean. You are that light, upholding divine honor. Meeting the Lord is the greatest honor, sanctifying life through endless cycles. The Guru bestows the jewel of the Supreme Sovereign. Practice Japa and remain absorbed in meditation on the Self to attain Nirvāṇa. Applying yourself to meditation destroys the sorrows of birth. All desired tasks are accomplished, and life becomes successful. For a moment's Darśana, one studies for hundreds of births; the Guru strengthens faith, and the devotee swiftly crosses the ocean of existence. "If you practice Japa, remain absorbed in meditation on the Self, you will attain the state of Nirvāṇa." "For the sake of a moment's Darśana, one studies scriptures and sūtras for hundreds of births." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The yogi's sleep is a state of yogic consciousness where wakefulness is known within sleep, and day is known within night. It is a sleep without support, upon a white stone slab. In that sleep, one knows the day within the night. It is a sleep of knowledge, leading to the state of Nirvana. Through this practice, one meets the Supreme Person. The true form is revealed when one meets that Person. The guru's assembly reveals the true knowledge. The body is without a country; the divine person is wondrous. One who worships in this way is absorbed in the guru. "Us nindrāme jagratā jāne, punirātri me divasu jñānī hai." "Deha binā deśikānī hai, Deva Puruṣa dabhuta havāliyā."

The seeker's path requires unwavering concentration and balance, like walking a tightrope or a crane standing on one leg in water. Human life is a rare opportunity for this learning. The journey involves cycles, represented by the numbers one through nine, leading back to zero to begin again. Worldly attachments and happiness are transient, like messages in a ring stating "this will also go." True progress comes from Guru's grace, which purifies the seeker through and through, not merely by external signs. The Divine Mother, as Kuṣmāṇḍā, generated the universe from a cosmic egg with her smile, creating the trinity of Mahākālī, Mahālakṣmī, and Mahāsarasvatī. Liberation while living is possible, but it requires removing the cycle of birth and death to avoid the torment of cosmic dissolution. "This will also go. This will go." "I have colored you already. This cloth to color is nothing, but I have colored you completely through and through." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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."

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 human birth is a rare and urgent opportunity. The scriptures and all aspects of existence point to a single imperative. The sole necessity is to fix the mind upon the Guru's name. This precious human form is exceedingly difficult to obtain again. One must become truly human in this very moment. By being steadfast in this practice, the vision of the true Self is attained. Do not waste this fleeting chance. "Oh lamp of qualities, Hari, fix your mind on the Guru’s name. This opportunity will not come again; be human." "This is the totality of knowledge: to be human."

The oneness of service and the soul is our essential truth. Everyone is equal and should be included in practices like pūjā. Give all the opportunity to learn and participate. The altar holds God, so service there is for God. Maintain cleanliness and respect traditional considerations. We are one family, so provide for basic needs like food without emphasis on money. Daily work and satsaṅg are for everyone, like the sun shines for all. God provides for all creatures. At life's end, the soul returns to oneness, beyond religious labels. We originate from and return to the divine ocean like drops of water. Our inner life is God's life. Respect all beings and see the good within. "One in all and all in one." "The ocean is the ocean.

Yoga is the primordial balancing principle between infinite space and universal consciousness, creating harmony and unity. This unity is peace. All beings arise from a singular resonance that divided into positive and negative forces, leading to duality and conflict. Humans possess intellect and compassion to be protectors and liberators. True peace is realized by cultivating inner balance through knowledge and mercy, recognizing our shared divine essence. Individual souls experience separation, but the universal Ātmā within all is one. Conflict arises from ignorance of this oneness. The solution is to embody tolerance, respect, and understanding. Replace harshness with kind words and actions. Inner peace, achieved through meditation and righteous living, is the foundation for world peace. "Yoga means balancing—not āsanas, physical exercise, breath exercise, meditations, and concentration. These are the way to yoga. This is not yoga itself." "Jīva jīva bhakṣati—life will eat life... then we shall create one creature which will have dayā in their heart—mercy, compassion. That one will and should not eat the other lives, and that is the human."

The origin of life and the path of dharma are revealed through ancient wisdom. In the beginning, there was only water. The gods decided to create the earth, which was brought forth from the ocean. Life emerged from the waters, with creatures evolving and moving onto land. The principle of existence was established: all living beings sustain themselves by consuming other life. This is the natural law. From this state, humans were created. With humanity came the knowledge of dharma and adharma. Dharma is to live spiritually, to care for all and avoid killing. Adharma is to live like animals, consuming without conscience, which bars the path to the divine. The human form and consciousness ultimately originate from the divine source, symbolized by the navel of Vishnu and the emerging lotus. One must not depend on others but become self-reliant, as God provides everything. Practice sādhanā, see all as equal, and live without harming others. Consider the impact of your consumption and actions on the world. "Jīv, jīv, bhakṣate: all living life, they are eating each other." "Dharma is spirituality and good, not killing anyone. Take care of everyone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Dharma is one's essential duty. Each person has a specific role. The neighbor's path often seems easier, but shortcuts can lead to longer journeys. A sage repeatedly saved a drowning scorpion, accepting its stings. The sage's dharma was compassion; the scorpion's dharma was to sting. Both were performing their nature. Similarly, persist in your own duty without giving up, regardless of setbacks. Do not envy another's path. The story of Nārada teaches that ego leads to misunderstanding. He sought a form for personal desire and was taught a lesson. Reduce the "I" and learn from mistakes. Do not blame others or God. Follow your own heart with your guru's guidance and give your full dedication. "My dharma as a sannyāsī is compassion to every single living being. So I’m doing my dharma by putting it out of the water... And the scorpion’s dharma is to sting when it feels danger." "When he knows that this is not good for us, but our itch, our wish to have that certain thing is very high, he will still make that wish complete in another way that makes us realize that, okay, this path is not good for me."
