A live interview with His Holiness Vishwaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśwar Paramahaṁsa Maheśvarānand Gurujī, founder of the "Yoga in Daily Life" system.

When parents are full of love, harmony, and good education, and are very spiritual, they will always tell you what God is." "Yoga is not only the physical body; it is more than that... Yoga is within human consciousness, in the human heart, in human humbleness, in a humble way of looking at everything." The host, a disciple, introduces the guru's lineage before asking about his spiritual journey from childhood. Gurujī describes his upbringing, perpetual childlike purity, and his view of yoga. He discusses the ongoing construction of the O-Māśram monument, his first travels to Europe, and the essential guru-disciple relationship, emphasizing oneness and equal love for all.

He explains the unique, unchanging quality of the Yoga in Daily Life system over decades, using the analogy of a single flame to represent the soul.

Recorded on
A spiritual lecture on the Mūlādhāra chakra and the nature of haṭha yoga. "Haṭha means that you try very hard; you use willpower. We must have the willpower to achieve something. Don't give up. Try, try, try." "Therefore it is: renounce and enjoy. If you want to be happy, if you want to enjoy life, then renounce." A teacher explains the foundational Mūlādhāra chakra as the root of energy and the seat of the dormant Kuṇḍalinī. He details the three primary nāḍīs (Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā) and defines true haṭha yoga as the forceful application of willpower for spiritual union, distinct from common physical practice. Through stories—including an ant's perseverance and a Haṭha Yogī who renounces even Śiva's offer—he emphasizes themes of relentless practice, renunciation of desire, and the ultimate goal of awakening energy to unite with divine consciousness.

5:00 - 5:54 (54 min)
Recorded on
A satsang discourse on the importance of sāttvic food, strong digestive fire (agni), and the karmic effects of our actions. "In yoga, it is very important to know cooking. I heard from Viśvagurujī that it will be excellent if we are able to cook for ourselves—not to go to restaurants, not fast food, but to prepare food for yourself." "That is such a great lesson to us, that we, like a Yogī, should have such a kind of digesting fire, that kind of agni, jāṭharāgni, to be able to dissolve everything." Swami Vivek Puri and another speaker lead a satsang, emphasizing the spiritual and practical importance of cooking and consuming sāttvic, vegetarian food prepared with good intent. They explain how strong agni, cultivated through Haṭha Yoga practices like Agniśa Kriyā and Bhastrikā prāṇāyāma, allows one to digest not only food but also negative experiences. Several illustrative stories are shared, including a yogi defeating a demon through his digestive power, a woman whose poisoned food karmically affects her own family, and a thief whose negative intent temporarily influences a guru through offered food. The discourse consistently links diet to mental state, karma, and safe spiritual practice within the Yoga in Daily Life system. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

He then tells how Lord Rama cured Hanuman's pride by sending him on a mission to a sage, revealing countless identical rings to demonstrate the cyclical nature of divine incarnations. The talk concludes by relating these themes to the modern discovery of sacred Himalayan caves. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

"Use it or lose it. This was my mantra, and so I was practicing. Till now, I am 103 years, I am still like this." The lecturer leads the discourse, exploring the human construct of time and its unstoppable flow. He shares parables, including one of a Himalayan rishi who learns his vast knowledge is but a handful of sand compared to the whole, and another of a yogi whose pride ruins his sādhanā. The key theme is that our limited time must be used for sincere practice and humility, lest it be lost. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The lecturer addresses a global audience, explaining the nature of the soul (jīva) using metaphors of water droplets and a bird in a cage.

"That energy, which is located in the maṇipūra cakra, is called hara-śakti. That is the life force, the energy that keeps you moving." A teacher explains the necessity of disciplined practice, using the analogy of fueling a car correctly. He delves into the esoteric importance of the Maṇipūra Chakra as the seat of life force (hara-śakti) and the junction of vital energies, connecting its functions to immunity, sound resonance (nāda), and mythological symbolism involving Vishnu. The talk covers related practices like Śabda Sañjālan and Khaṭupranām, emphasizing that authentic practice requires devotion, a spiritual lineage, and following a master's instructions to awaken inner energy and burn karmic seeds.

He explains the rarity and merit of completing such a pilgrimage, using the metaphor of a cherry tree where few blossoms survive to become ripe fruit. He contrasts ancient, arduous pilgrimages with modern travel, emphasizes the sacred energy of the site, and discusses themes of devotion, non-attachment (vairāgya), and India's unique spiritual status as Bhārat Mātā.

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Strilky Ashram is not for one it is for all. Many people died by corona. It has many hidden signs. We are the real yoga from the earth till the cosmic. When we leave our body we don't know about how is in the world. God gave us the possibility not to be born again. Sometimes people are afraid of ghosts in the darkness. There is no ghost in reality. We can come back to the earth only through the mother's womb. Nowadays people have many problems with the health of their bodies. Maybe the cause of this is some karma from our past lives. Every creature feels pain and sadness when they die. Sometimes our soul is suffering in this body but we don't want to die. the whole ocean consists of drops. Yogic science knows how it will be afraid we leave this body. So we want to live and enjoy our life.
