The Presence of the Guru
0:25 - 1:08 (43 min)
Recorded on
The Guru is omnipresent, and our practice is to recognize and honor this presence. He is always observing and is within us. His physical presence is a blessing, but his true nature is everywhere. We must cultivate love and devotion, which together allow our spiritual connection to grow. Serving him and being in his company is the primary practice, as it reduces the ego. We must learn to surrender completely, trusting him without relying on our own logic. He tests our faith, and those who trust him completely will find all obstacles removed. Approach him not with trivial questions but to seek blessings for your sincere endeavors. His guidance may come in many forms, all of which are for our benefit. Ultimately, we must believe he is the sole doer, and we are instruments in his divine play. "When you close your eyes, or when you even open your eyes, you can see his form sitting here. We should not think that Gurudev is physically not here, but Gurudev is omnipresent." "If we have that mindset within us, then nothing is going to stop us in this world, and we just need to continue this beautiful, beautiful legacy what Gurudev has created and just know that he is inside, and he is always with us."

Try to know what we should do
1:15 - 2:06 (51 min)
Recorded on
The soul's journey is from confinement to liberation. Our true Self is a droplet of the cosmic ocean, cycling through lives. The human body is a cage for this soul. We suffer within it due to illness and attachment. Only humans possess the higher responsibility to choose their path. God grants capacities but limits destructive power. Actions have consequences across lifetimes; causing harm leads to suffering. After death, the soul is freed like a bird from a cage, speeding away joyfully. It needs nothing, unlike a troubled ghost attached to places. All traditions teach to live rightly: do good, avoid harm, and do not kill. Value family continuity. Our essence is not the body but the conscious droplet returning to the universal source. "From this ocean, steam rises. That steam is like fine droplets, and that is what we call the jīva." "How many years I was in a cage!... Now I fly very far." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
A Prayer for the Immortal Soul
2:10 - 2:52 (42 min)
Recorded on
Destiny and the mystery of time, death, and the soul's journey are our themes. We are mortal and do not know the time or place of our death. God has not given us the ability to know the past or future, for such knowledge would overwhelm us. What plays with us between past, present, and future is our destiny, a mysterious and sometimes inescapable force. The story of Oedipus shows that some destined events cannot be avoided. We must therefore focus on the divine. At life's end, one should have only God's name in mind, as demonstrated by Mahatma Gandhi's final words. Enlightenment involves widening consciousness beyond time, dissolving negative qualities like anger and attachment. A self-realized person digests or conquers time and death, yet even the enlightened must ultimately leave the body. We pray for a departed soul to dissolve into the cosmic light. "Humans are very intelligent and intellectual beings, but God has not given them this one ability: to know the past and to know the future." "At the end of my life, when I renounce this body, I have only one wish, that you are standing in front of me." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

Around the world - Opening of new YIDL center in Murska Sobota, Slovenia
3:15 - 3:57 (42 min)
Recorded on
We open a new ashram to practice the universal science of Yoga in Daily Life. This center, established in 1990, spreads an authentic system taught by volunteer teachers. After 25 years in rented spaces, we now have our own home for practice. Yoga is not a business or a competitive sport; it is a universal path of balance for body, mind, and soul, beyond any single religion. Modern life requires finding inner peace, yet people often sacrifice health for money and lose the present by fixating on the future. The key is willpower, not time, to make daily practice as essential as nourishment. Children, our future culture, must also be guided in spirituality and ethics. True health comes from within, and yoga is a science for all ages and conditions, leading from darkness to light. "Yoga is not specific to one country or one religion; yoga is universal." "Yoga means balance, harmony, and unity." Filming location: Slovenia
Well-being for Body and Mind
4:05 - 4:50 (45 min)
Recorded on
Yoga progresses from physical discipline to spiritual realization. Body warming, dynamic movements, and stretching constitute preparatory exercise. The posture held in stillness is āsana. Prānāyāma coordinates breath with the subtle nerve network, purifying the nāḍīs by supplying prāṇa through oxygen. Spirituality requires immense discipline and purity, not idleness; it is maintained through mindful action, speech, and companionship. Food is divine prasāda; eat with gratitude, cleanliness, and silence, avoiding waste. The human body is a precious, holy instrument—the only chance in this life. Respect it, keep it healthy, and use it to help others. All humans are one race; racism is a created problem. Suffering stems from fear, which covers our peace. Know yourself, respect parents, and follow the path of discipline. "Spirituality means purity. Spirituality does not mean that whole day you sit and meditate." "Your body is a holy body, and this body is the only chance in this life." Filming location: London, UK
Water Is Life
4:55 - 5:12 (17 min)
Recorded on
Water is divine essence and life itself. Where water exists, divinity is present. It constitutes our physical form and emotional expressions, like tears of sorrow or joy. Without water, the body fails and disease follows. It flows within our nerves and blood. The ocean's salt is vital, and its evaporation forms clouds that bring rain, sustaining all life. Yogis harness this essence through breath. Human pollution has contaminated many water sources, yet nature's cycle continues to purify it. Our existence is fundamentally aqueous; every cell requires this stream. Life is inseparable from water. "Where there is water, there is God. Where there is God, there is water." "Water is life. Life is the water." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root foundation and the origin of the Kuṇḍalinī energy. It is supported by the Vajranāḍī among the 72,000 subtle channels. The three primary nāḍīs are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. The term 'haṭha yoga' originates from the union of 'ha' (the left nāḍī) and 'tha' (the right nāḍī). Haṭha yoga means applying forceful willpower. Common practices like āsana and prāṇāyāma are actually rāja yoga. True haṭha yoga involves unwavering determination, as illustrated by the story of an ant persistently carrying a grain of sugar. This willpower is categorized as Rājahaṭa (a king's will), Bālahaṭa (a child's will), and Strīyāhaṭa (a woman's will). The yoga of Haṭha is the practitioner's will to realize God through complete renunciation of desires and attachments. Haṭha yoga also includes ṣaṭ karma, six purification techniques to prevent illness. A story of a Haṭha Yogī baking bread on a funeral pyre demonstrates ultimate renunciation; he rejected an offer from Śiva himself, wanting nothing. Desire must be renounced to reach higher consciousness. The nāḍīs cross at various junctions, forming chakras like Viśuddhi, Anāhata, and Maṇipūra. The Mūlādhāra Chakra, the foundation, contains a symbolic elephant representing prosperity and the seven minerals for health. It is the border between human and animal consciousness. The dormant Kuṇḍalinī, symbolized by a coiled serpent, awakens to rise through the chakras to Sahasrāra, uniting Śakti (energy) with Śiva (consciousness). The chakra's lotus petals, growing from muddy roots, represent rising above worldly attachments; each petal bears a Sanskrit letter, a resonance of divine sound. The entire universe exists within the human body. "Haṭha means that you try very hard; you use willpower. We must have the willpower to achieve something." "If you want to be happy, if you want to enjoy life, then renounce."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. We should give up selfish thinking like I am the best. The story of Abhymanju gives an example of the qualities of a disciple. Jealous means burning fire in the body. Mantra within our hearth, even in a very hard situation we can develop spirituality.
Interview with Vishwaguruji
13:20 - 13:44 (24 min)

The spiritual journey is rooted in lineage and inner purity. Our tradition descends from great masters like Śrī Alāpurījī, Śrī Devapurījī, Śrī Nareṅdra Mahāprabhujī, and Svāmī Madhavānand Sarasvatī. I come from a village in Rajasthan. Spiritual upbringing by loving parents is foundational. I was always inclined toward purity, God, and nature from childhood. My master provided continuous guidance through example, not formal lectures. Yoga is beyond physical postures; it resides in human consciousness, heart, and humility. I travel widely, yet yoga remains the constant. I maintain a childlike purity, seeing myself as a child of God and my master. This humility allows me to place my mistakes before them. I feel relaxed, knowing I am cared for and that I protect others. The O-Māśram project in Jodhan is a meditation-born monument to offer something spiritual to the world. Traveling from India to Europe presented surface differences in daily life, but my focus was always on what I could realize and give. The guru-disciple relationship is like that of parent and child, based on oneness without duality. A master must see all disciples equally, guiding them with love toward the Supreme. "Yoga is not only the physical body; it is more than that. Yoga is within human consciousness, in the human heart, in human humbleness." "Guru and master, disciple is like father and mother—that’s it—the brother, the child, and father or mother and child."
Real health comes from Nature
13:50 - 14:49 (59 min)
Recorded on
Health involves both conventional medicine and natural, yogic approaches. Doctors often manage symptoms without providing lasting cures. Many ailments persist despite treatment. Natural methods from India, like yoga and specific exercises, offer profound benefits. Certain tree barks and natural preparations can address stomach and bodily issues where medicine fails. I am not a doctor; I am a yogi pointing to what is natural. Practice simple postures and breathing. Consistency with these natural methods brings health. Both systems have value, but the natural path is deeply restorative and often overlooked. True well-being comes from harmonizing with nature's intelligence. "Many things which we cannot do, which the doctors cannot do." "This medicine also does not cure; they cannot cure it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Cultivating strong digestive fire and sāttvic living is essential for spiritual practice. Learning to cook from a young age is vital, as it connects us to our food and its energy. A story illustrates the importance of agni: a Yogī, possessing powerful jāṭharāgni, consumed food offered by Rākṣasas and dissolved the demon within, teaching us to develop the inner fire to process all experiences. Strengthen Agni through Haṭha Yoga Kriyās, āsanas for the Maṇipūra Chakra, and preparatory prāṇāyāma like Nāḍī Śodhana before advanced techniques such as Bhastrikā. A strict vegetarian diet is foundational; consuming meat introduces the animal's fear and chemistry into your body, which can manifest as disturbing experiences during meditation. The system of Yoga in Daily Life prevents this through gradual, step-by-step practice. Always go deeper into your practice through the five bodies—it will never be boring. Be mindful of karma, as illustrated by a story where a woman poisoned sweets intended for a sādhu, but they were instead eaten by her own children, demonstrating that one's actions return. Our physiology—like side-to-side jaw movement and long intestines—indicates we are meant to be vegetarian. The energy and intention behind food preparation matter; cook with a peaceful mind to maintain a sāttvic household. "Remain where you are." "What you do will come back to you in some way or another."

Kumbha Mela 2021
15:50 - 15:55 (5 min)
Recorded on
The essence of devotion is surrender to the divine source and grace. All Vedas and teachings ultimately point to the guru, who is beyond illusion. The supreme cause of all beings takes a human form out of boundless compassion. This incarnation is the refuge for countless souls across infinite abodes. The logical structure is associative, with repeated phrases and abrupt transitions between concepts like the cause of beings and infinite abodes. The phrasing is often fragmentary, making precise logical connections unclear. "All Vedas and teachings ultimately point to the guru, who is beyond illusion."

Proudness
17:20 - 18:12 (52 min)

The ego of a devotee is cured by divine grace through humility. Even great beings can develop pride in their service. Hanumān once believed Rāma's victory depended entirely on him. Earlier, Garuḍa also lost faith after rescuing Rāma from a snake-arrow, thinking God needed his help. Garuḍa, in despair, was told only the crow-sage Kakabhuśuṇḍī could cure him. As Garuḍa approached, hearing the sage's discourse restored his devotion, and he saw even the gods listening. To cure Hanumān's pride, Rāma sent him to deliver a ring to a sage in the Himalayas. The sage told Hanumān to throw it into a pond, which was filled with identical rings from every divine incarnation. Hanumān then understood his role was not unique but part of an eternal cycle, curing his ego. "Hanumānjī became proud. He thought, 'If I were not, Rāma would not be successful.'" "Hanumān, don’t be proud. Don’t think that through your help, Rāma was victorious... It was a test for you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
