Prāṇa is the vital essence sustained through breath and nourishment. Prāṇāyāma regulates this life force. Do not practice breath retention without months of preparatory inhalation and exhalation, as it harms the respiratory system. This exercise fills the body's tissues with prāṇa, whose deficiency causes aging. Physical postures should enhance prāṇa flow, not deplete it through strain. True nourishment is fresh, sāttvic food containing great prāṇa, like fruits and vegetables. Avoid alcohol, old food, and tāmasic items like aged cheese, which diminish vitality. Health is built, not bought. Control your senses, especially taste. Practice āsanas and prāṇāyāma for about two hours daily. Haṭha Yoga's six techniques—Netī, Dhautī, Bastī, Naulī, Trāṭak, and Kapālabhātī—purify the body. Āsanas alone are not Haṭha Yoga; they belong to Rāja Yoga, which requires ethical observances. Yoga transcends body and mind; these practices repair the body for that journey. The Guru is essential for true realization. "Prāṇāyāma means 'āyāma'—exercise or regulation. Like āsanas are yoga Vyāyāma, this Vyāyāma is for every joint, muscle, ligament, and tissue." "Yoga is beyond the body and mind. These practices are for control, to repair your body and your path to reach yoga." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
Influence of karmas on the soul
2:20 - 3:10 (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
3:15 - 3:56 (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
Muladhara chakra. Part one.
4:00 - 4:32 (32 min)
Recorded on
Your being in this world is more needed than you think. Yoga without spirituality is a body without a soul. Nothing in this world functions without a master, a guru who leads from darkness to light. This is true for material skills and is essential for spiritual guidance. Without it, you are lost. The initiation from a master provides the first awakening, like a jump-start for a dormant battery. Practice must follow theory. The human system is based on chakras, with the Mūlādhāra chakra as the root foundation. Its red color symbolizes concentrated earth energy. The lotus is a central symbol. It grows in muddy water but remains untouched by it, symbolizing that though we must incarnate in this worldly ocean to develop, we should rise above its temptations and quarrels. Realize your relation to the Supreme; that is true religion. Your duty is to serve, love, and let your consciousness unfold like a lotus, creating beauty. Do not wish to escape life; pray for the chance to serve and be a light. "Guru means darkness, and Guru means light. He who leads us from the darkness of ignorance to the light of wisdom or knowledge is the guru." "Oh Lord, if I have to stay in this world, then help me that I live in this world like a lotus in the water." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia
Sat sanga
4:40 - 5:07 (27 min)
Recorded on
The power of satsaṅga lies in gathering in truth. The recent global hardship was a manifestation of Kali Yuga, a dark age where everything breaks. I was traveling but was sent to my home country. Through it all, we were with God, who provides. "Sat" means truth. A Satguru embodies this truth. Many practice yoga and follow gurus, each with a name and lineage. We are all human, yet distinctions exist through names and relationships. In the ashram, you become family. Satsaṅga is the company of truth, where we are all together in goodness. This gathering is a satsaṅg. Maintaining this truthful connection requires constant practice, or it is lost when you leave. The physical body is temporary and turns to dust. The name, however, endures beyond the body, like a memory that remains after a person is gone. Therefore, hold to the truth of the name. Satsaṅga is truth together. "Sat means truth, and this truth is like that." "The body will slowly, slowly go... but your name will not go anywhere." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia
Mind and chakras
5:15 - 5:40 (25 min)
Recorded on
The mind functions between the conscious and subconscious levels. The conscious state receives information through the five senses while awake. These impressions are immediately transferred to the subconscious, a storeroom of all past experiences from this life. These stored impressions generate desires, or vāsanā. Strong desires rise from the subconscious into the conscious mind. The intellect judges and defines these desires. Unfulfilled desires return to the subconscious, becoming formless and creating psychic problems. Blocking these desires is like damming a river, leading to overflow and distress. The mind must be directed, not stopped. Control the senses and limit desires to achieve peace. Balance between emotion, intellect, and consciousness is essential for a harmonious life. "Impressions and desires are like a river flowing constantly. You should not block the river." "Self-discipline means to direct your mind, your desires, your ambition... in that particular direction." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia
The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss
5:45 - 6:06 (21 min)
Recorded on
Life's deepest treasure is complete and everlasting bliss, the crown of self-realization rooted in God-realization. Rare beings attain this pearl of Paramānanda. A seeker's deep prayer brought him face-to-face with his divine master, seeing the form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He became a true disciple, devoting body, mind, and soul. He received the highest spiritual initiation, instantly attaining samādhi. His life was a permanent establishment in the highest spiritual experience under his master's guidance. As a spiritual successor, he built and established āśrams, tirelessly spreading the light. He preached non-dualism, non-violence as the highest religion, and the unity of all humanity through song and service. His devotion was Parabhakti, love without reservation, repeating the divine name for over eighteen hours daily. Such love overcomes all obstacles between us and God. He became a living testament that this realization is possible. "My eyes filled with tears, and I fell to my knees. I knew I had found the everlasting light of my life." "All humans belong to one religion, and that is humanity." Filming location: Bola Guda, India

Bhajan singing in the presence of the Master
7:30 - 8:17 (47 min)
Recorded on
The sacred syllable Om is the primal vibration from which this three-qualitied illusion of the world is projected. From Om, all knowledge and the Vedas themselves emerged. The true knower, realizing this, finds bliss. The Guru's grace is essential for this realization. Without the Guru's guidance, one remains lost, not knowing what to do with worldly or spiritual wealth. The Guru's feet are the ultimate pilgrimage, praised by the Vedas and Purāṇas. The divine sound, Śabda, is the ultimate power; it does not kill but slays limitation. Through the Guru's arrival at the eternal door, the soul finds liberation. "From Om, the three-qualitied Maya created this world." "The Vedas and Purāṇas sing, 'Guru’s feet are the sacred pilgrimage.'" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
Guru bhakta jagata me na rahe
8:25 - 9:08 (43 min)
Recorded on
The divine reality is one, formless, and present everywhere within all beings. Rāma, meaning God or the Guru, lives in every heart. Inside and outside are the same vast oneness. The whole world resides within you. This reality is not born and does not die. It is completely fearless. It has no color, shape, or boundaries. It is indescribable and beyond name. Without the Guru, one cannot understand this truth. The devotee who realizes this has nothing to fear from the world. "Looking up or looking down, I only have your darśan, and there is no need to go anywhere." "Without the guru, you cannot understand this." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Pyare darashana diyo aj
9:15 - 9:18 (3 min)
Recorded on
The heart's agitation arises from separation and unfulfilled longing. This state is described as a profound inner turmoil. The eyes of the devotee, represented as the eyes of the cowherd and of the divine, do not grant the vision being sought. This absence of divine sight leads to restless days and sleepless nights. The longing itself becomes a form of sustenance, yet it cuts like a blade. The experience is one of yearning for a connection that feels withheld. The fragment captures the essence of devotional anguish. "Be rakhalnī chokhā, Kalnī chokhā, Darśan na dī chokhā." "Darśan sannakā nindā, Nairin divasannā, Bhukkanī kāso kattatannā."

We have to become one
11:35 - 13:09 (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."

Welcome to the practice of Yoga in Daily Life, a complete system for health and spiritual development. This system originates from an authentic Himalayan lineage.

The practice integrates postures, breath control, and deep relaxation to harmonize body and mind. "The light and teaching of this yoga science passed through an authentic and uninterrupted stream of wisdom."

The Divine Chambers of Being
18:10 - 19:19 (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
Yoga is a science
19:25 - 20:44 (79 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul, a universal principle of balance and harmony. Our subject is Kuṇḍalinī and the chakras, the hidden powers in human consciousness. The chakras are centers that receive and circulate cosmic energy through the body. We possess five bodies or layers: the physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and causal bodies. The causal body holds desires and the potential for divine bliss. The soul is a collection of karma and qualities; it does not dissolve until self-realization is attained. Chakras must be purified through mantra and practice for the Kuṇḍalinī to awaken safely. Without proper guidance, this awakening can cause imbalance and distress. Life is love, and love is God. Creating friendship and walking the path with love is essential. The world is a field of karma for development, yet one must remain detached like a lotus in muddy water. The first chakra, Mūlādhāra, is the root foundation. Its red color represents concentrated energy and the earth element. The lotus symbolizes remaining untouched by worldly temptations while fulfilling one's duty. The four petals represent the four aims of human life: dharma (duty), artha (wealth), kāma (righteous desires and progeny), and mokṣa (liberation). "Yoga without spirituality is like a body without a soul; no achievement can take place without spirituality." "If you protect your dharma, dharma will protect you." Filming location: Australia

Detachment and Liberation
22:50 - 0:01 (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
