How to overcome the obstacles of practicing
0:35 - 1:53 (78 min)
Recorded on
The chakras contain immense power we must master, requiring guidance. From Mūlādhāra to Viśuddhi, these centers mix human and animal qualities. The Svādhiṣṭhāna generates waves of passion that can sweep us away. The Kuṇḍalinī lies dormant until awakened. The three nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā—wind left and right; when knowledge dawns, energy flows straight. A coiled snake represents the three guṇas, which pull us downward. Our desires create holes through which energy drains. The Maṇipūra Chakra is the seat of sound and fire. Viṣṇu resides in the navel, resting on the ocean of purity. Regular practice of prāṇāyāma like Bhastrikā and Kapālabhāti energizes the body from this center. Reading scriptures must move from intellect to heart. Knowledge requires daily churning and application over time. "Strive for oneness, purity, without blemish. Do not stain your body." "Our life may be ending, but we should not waste time. If we die today, let us use these minutes productively." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand
Karma and koshas
2:00 - 2:56 (56 min)
Recorded on
The aim of human life is to realize the soul and return to God. The soul undergoes cycles of birth and death, experiencing the astral world and various forms of life, from vegetation to human birth. Human life is a difficult journey where one must navigate consequences, or karma, for all actions. The intellect is a powerful tool, but it must connect the brain to the heart. Causing suffering to any creature creates pain that returns. Life in all realms is challenging, and one must strive for liberation from this cycle. The physical body is the first sheath, the annamaya kośa, sustained by pure nourishment. The second sheath is the prāṇamaya kośa, the energy body vitalized by breath. "Do not go against the nature. Otherwise, you will have consequences." "When we create difficulties for someone, the pain will reflect to us, much more than that one is suffering." Filming location: Alexandria, USA
The real Guru is in oneness
3:00 - 4:01 (61 min)
Recorded on
Devotion is a singular reality, expressed through many names and forms. The genuine saint or deity does not demand exclusive worship, for the divine essence is one. All human distinctions of country, color, or language are ultimately irrelevant. We gather to sing and remember this unity, honoring the lineage of teachers who point toward it. Each moment of life is profoundly precious, like a bullet fired that cannot be recalled. Our vital energy, or prāṇa, is the very force of life and feeling within the body. To concentrate on this prāṇa is to connect with the divine source. The spiritual journey requires great purity, akin to walking a sharp edge. Our inner negativity can cause regression, while cultivating oneness leads toward merging with the infinite, like a drop returning to the ocean. All external religious forms are like different names for the same water; the essence is one. "Because the real one is in oneness. If any God were to say, 'Do not worship this other God,' then neither is that God right, nor are you good for following such a command." "Your heart should be my heart. Your mind should be my mind. Feelings must be my feelings, everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The five sheaths, from the physical to the bliss body, define our being and are shaped by our nourishment. The physical sheath, annamaya kośa, is formed from food. The energy sheath, prāṇamaya kośa, arises from that nourishment. The mental, wisdom, and bliss sheaths follow sequentially. What you consume determines your energy, mind, knowledge, and ultimate state. Modern habits have corrupted this natural order, replacing pure, sāttvic nourishment with harmful substances and actions, leading to disease and mental disturbance. A pure diet creates pure energy and a serene mind, guiding one toward true happiness. The path is obstructed by base desires and endless argument, which must be surrendered through attentive listening to divine guidance. "Jaisā khāī annā, vaisā rahe man. What kind of nourishment or food you eat, like that will be your mind." "Your nourishment, your energy, then your mentality, the mind." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand
We are a part of God
6:10 - 7:20 (70 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is one unified path, though taught under many names. It extends far beyond physical postures to encompass the entire life force and consciousness. The practice integrates all aspects of nature, as seen in the 84 traditional āsanas inspired by animals and elements. This discipline is lifelong, like the breath itself, and aims to balance the body's five principles with nature. The ultimate goal is for the individual soul, or jīva, to realize its divine nature and ascend to the highest cosmic consciousness, ending the cycle of rebirth among the 8.4 million life forms. While worldly knowledge progresses outwardly, the yogi's path is an inward journey to the Self. All creatures possess the will to live, and humans must recognize the divine Ātmā within themselves and all beings, moving from identifying with the limited drop to merging with the boundless ocean. "Yoga is not only physical, for the physical body, or just breath and concentration, etc. Yoga is very far-reaching." "Your soul, your ātmā in you is your God." Filming location: Slovenia

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 one who has His darshan, his sins are washed away. The one who longs for Him, his sins are washed away." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Divine Chambers of Being
10:45 - 11:54 (69 min)
Recorded on
The annamaya kośa, the food sheath, is the first of five chambers of being. Its purity determines the mind's state. Vedic philosophy describes five sheaths, not the dietary laws of kosher or halal. True religion is based on non-violence, a principle declared millennia ago. Most who claim a faith do not follow its core tenets, lost in materialism. The physical body is born, grows, and dies, but must be purified for the soul. Food influences this through the three guṇas. Rajas brings restlessness; tamas brings laziness and ignorance. Tāmasik food includes meat, fish, eggs, and stale items. Consuming such food directly affects the mind's clarity and one's spiritual progress. A story illustrates this: a saint ate food procured by a thief and was overcome by a desire to steal a golden idol. His intellect was corrupted until the impure food was sweated out. The teaching is clear: as you eat, so your mind becomes. Therefore, one must consume sāttvic food and offer it to the divine before eating, transforming it into blessed prasāda. This purifies the annamaya kośa. "Jaisā khāyegā anna, vaisā rahegā mana." "Yogaś citta vṛtti nirodhaḥ." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Past is gone future is not here yet
14:10 - 14:54 (44 min)
Recorded on
The path is to be present, letting go of past and future. You have practiced and received knowledge. Our way is to be relaxed and normal, not straining or focusing oddly. What we seek is to know the Self. We follow a given path but must understand it ourselves. We are human with knowledge, yet we do not know what comes after this life. Do not dwell on the past; it is gone like an exhale. We often live in memories or future thoughts, not in the present. Suffering in the present will not last. We must come into our heart and thoughts to be one. Forget the past; your future path will be good. What you have now is here; do not lose it by grasping for more. "Do not meditate and concentrate on what is gone; learning is gone." "The past is gone. The present is here. But you think, 'In the future, I will also get this.' But you will not get it."

Yoga in Daily Life - exercise program
16:00 - 17:29 (89 min)
Recorded on
A guided practice of deep relaxation, mindful movement, and breath awareness. Begin by systematically releasing tension from the feet to the face with each exhale. Practice creating and releasing tension in individual limbs, then the whole body, to feel the contrast. Move with slow, deliberate stretches, coordinating each motion with the breath to explore the body's range. Perform gentle spinal twists and core engagements, always moving within a comfortable range without pain. Conclude with focused breathing exercises to purify and calm the nervous system, followed by a period of silent integration. "Release the entire torso, both arms, the muscles in the neck, and all the muscles in the face as you send the exhale throughout the entire body." "The exhalation purifies, releases, and frees you from tension." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Influence of karmas on the soul
19:50 - 20:40 (50 min)
Recorded on
The soul and karma are fundamentally intertwined. Karma is action, encompassing all doing, thinking, and speaking. Every action has a cause and creates an effect, which returns as a reaction to the actor. This cycle accounts for all steps, thoughts, and deeds. The universe itself is activity, or Kriyā. The individual soul, or Jīvātmā, is a manifestation of the supreme consciousness, born from primordial sound and wrapped in the elements. This soul carries its accumulated karma from life to life, migrating into forms according to its deeds. Human birth is a precious opportunity. Pain and fear are manifestations of negative karma. Liberation comes from self-realization, untangling the knots of karma through good actions and meditation, allowing the soul to dissolve back into the universal Ātman. "Karma means action, cause, action and effect." "The body dies, but the soul lives." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The Effect of Karma on the Soul
22:10 - 22:51 (41 min)
Recorded on
The effect of karma on the soul is explained through the knowledge of a Trikāladarśī Master, who sees past, present, and future. A soul's deeds determine its journey. A story tells of a cobra that approached a Master. The Master revealed the cobra's soul was a former devotee who spoke ill of his guru, resulting in rebirth as a snake. The Master performed rites, liberated that soul, and instructed it to return human. Another story tells of a cruel tax collector. After death, his soul was reborn as a camel forced to carry heavy stones. A saint explained to the camel that the stones were the weight of its past karma against poor farmers. These examples show karma burdens the soul across lifetimes. Human life offers the chance to resolve karma through devotion, service, and right action. Otherwise, the soul carries its burdens into future births. "These stones that have been placed on your back are not stones; they are the remnants of your karma." "He knows all three times: what will happen, what has happened, what will be, and what is." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
Detachment and Liberation
22:55 - 0:06 (71 min)
Recorded on
Life is obtained, but how should one live it? The human lifespan is divided into quarters for study, family, society, and final liberation. The ladder for this is Dharma, Artha, Kāma, and Mokṣa. The personality has perishable and immortal parts. The soul travels; the body has its lineage from five elements. We know only the physical body, but mind, intellect, and soul are reflected within it. The time in hand is always short. Only the present can be used. Be fully present with any task, such as eating. Concentrated eating alone can transform life and direct desires. The universe is made from Agni and Soma, a chain from the sun to rain to crops. The food we eat transforms through seven stages in the body, ultimately affecting desires and procreation. We have four components: body, mind, intellect, and soul. Everything is created from sound vibrations. Mantra practice moves from spoken sound to inner, formless repetition, a path to the soul. The mind is difficult to control as it is a reflection. Withdrawing from the world turns the senses inward. Detachment from all perishable things allows one to live in the present. In married life, man and woman are complementary halves, perfecting each other. Man is outwardly fiery, inwardly cool Soma; woman is outwardly cool, inwardly fiery. Their union is a stage of creation. Over 25 years, the wife shapes the husband, ultimately creating an aversion to turn him toward society and spiritual goals. The mother is the first teacher, shaping the soul in the womb. The final goal is enlightenment. "Today is the answer of life. I must use my present." "The woman is the creator of the world. She creates the man before she gives birth to the child." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
