Yoga and meditation
0:25 - 1:29 (64 min)
Meditation is a path to inner harmony through self-inquiry. A mantra purifies energy, creating positive vibration. Begin by chanting Aum, the cosmic resonance present before creation. Sit motionless, relax the body, and coordinate it with natural breath. Awareness moves to the heart, the seat of happiness, peace, and compassion. This inner love, akin to a parent's love, is a constant source. Positive energy emanates from the heart, coloring one's being. Consciousness is pure, but thoughts impart a color, shaping reality. Mastery over this determines a life of peace or sorrow. The individual soul experiences the world, while the eternal ātmā within is indestructible, like the sky. True security comes from cultivating universal love rooted in the lineage of life itself. Yoga harmonizes body, mind, and spirit.
"Lead us from unreality to reality. Lead us from darkness to light."
"Your heart is pure. Your consciousness is very pure. Your awareness is very alert. But what color are your thoughts?"

Self-inquiry meditation
1:35 - 2:24 (49 min)
Self-inquiry meditation purifies the restless mind and heals the earth.
Prayer is a tonic for spiritual development, leading to self-realization. The primary practice begins when consciousness becomes concentrated. Modern worries about the environment and society originate from the human mind. Modern science and thinking create complications leading to disaster. The solution is returning to ancient scriptures and yogic science, which research the self. This path reunites the divided individual. Meditation cultivates inner love and harmony, guiding one to ask "who am I?"
Ādiguru Śaṅkarācārya taught non-violence and non-duality. Where there is duality, there is violence. Pollution of water is a profound violence, as every entity is oneself. Humans must reduce pollution and heal the earth. Vegetation has an equal right to live, yet it is destroyed. Recovery is possible through protection and planting trees. The people have the power to demand organic food, transforming agriculture. Similarly, meditation heals the illness of materialism by purifying selfish desires. Self-inquiry leads to the realization that all life is one's own self, fostering compassion. This practice is essential to save humanity from suffering. A simple, necessary action is for all to become vegetarians, as a plant-based diet is the first principle of non-violence and health.
"Where there is non-duality, there is ahiṃsā, non-violence."
"Viśvaprāṇī merī ātmā hai. Every entity is myself."

Samadhi
2:30 - 3:33 (63 min)
Prāṇa is a subtle life force distinct from physical oxygen. Our physical body requires this earth-specific oxygen, but the astral body, composed of prāṇa, can travel without it. Consciousness operates through various states. Sleep is a natural samādhi where dreams occur, yet they offer imagination, not verified knowledge. Deeper samādhi allows for conscious travel and accurate perception beyond the senses. Bhāva samādhi is a devotional trance, while dhyāna samādhi is deep, tranquil meditation. Higher states transcend time and seed-based desires, leading toward nirbīja samādhi, a state of pure knowledge without duality. True spiritual progress requires guidance, self-realization of one's inherent qualities, and a foundation of holistic health through proper diet and self-reliance.
"Prāṇa is something more than oxygen. Oxygen is a subtle energy, and it is more specific to our Earth."
"In samādhi, you can say the shop was closed. This is the difference between sleep, dream, and samādhi."

Gurudev found all of us
3:40 - 4:49 (69 min)
The path of Karma Yoga and the Guru's grace are essential for spiritual progress. Karma Yoga is selfless service performed without expectation, which burns away ego and impurities like desire and anger. All actions yield results, but only the Guru can alter destiny. The human birth is precious, granted to pursue self-realization and escape the cycle of birth and death. Four blessings guide this journey: the blessing of the gods for human life, the blessing of scriptures for knowledge, the Guru's grace as paramount, and the crucial blessing of one's own effort to walk the path. The Guru's presence contains all pilgrimages and divine beings; thus, sincere devotion and selfless work under his guidance lead to liberation.
"When we do something and we are looking around, like, 'Who is watching? Where are the cameras?' then that is not true seva."
"In the lotus feet of Gurudeva, everyone—all gods, all goddesses, all pilgrimages—everything is residing there."

Keep balance while you are practicing
4:55 - 5:55 (60 min)
Yoga is a lifelong practice for body, mind, and spirit. It is an ancient science for health and self-realization, not merely physical exercise. Many misunderstand it, turning it commercial, but true yoga overcomes stress and brings peace. It is for all ages and walks of life, a daily system like eating or breathing. Practice must be balanced, without competition or strain, and includes postures, breath, and meditation. Breath harmonizes the body, and the heart works loyally; we must care for it. The body is a temple for the inner self, which dislikes aggression and falsity. Spirituality is devotion—a higher, respectful love—not a temporary, misused emotion. True devotion leads to oneness and God realization, harmonizing life and family.
"Health is the first wealth."
"Yoga should be for every walk of life."

Practicing led by Vishwaguruji
6:00 - 6:39 (39 min)
A relaxing movement practice for the body.
Lie down with legs straight and together, hands straight back. Remain relaxed and do not adjust clothing. Bring both legs straight up, then down, keeping the body still. Place palms under shoulders, bend elbows, and raise the trunk before lowering again. Raise both arms and legs together while inhaling deeply. Interlock the thumbs and hold the feet behind the back, then rock forward and back. Practice stillness and maintain straight legs. Conclude by sitting up normally and relaxing.
"Relax. Be very relaxed."
"Inhale very deeply and stay as long as you can."

Gurudev always works for his bhaktas
6:45 - 7:43 (58 min)
The immortal Self is the truth of your being, realized through surrender and patience. The story of Naciketā illustrates the path. He waited three days for Yamarāja, the lord of death, undistracted by temptations. His sincere inquiry into what lies beyond death revealed the immortal ātmā. This knowledge freed him. Similarly, spiritual progress requires unwavering dedication and the patience to endure life's shaping trials. Attachments at death bind the soul to further cycles, as shown by the story of a man who kept postponing his spiritual journey and was reborn repeatedly near his family. Surrender to the Guru's guidance is essential. Do not analyze the Guru's instructions; simply follow. He sees all time and shapes you for your ultimate freedom. Trust completely and let go.
"Just as all things that come will go, what will I do with all these materialistic things? I want to know what happens after death."
"Guru ājñā avichāraṇīya. We are not going to find logic behind this... simply follow."

Do not live a selfish life
7:50 - 8:19 (29 min)
The Vedas are divine knowledge given to humanity for spiritual advancement and self-realization. These scriptures form the foundation of Sanatana Dharma and contain immense energy and mantras. This knowledge marks the beginning of human civilization and is the base for a blissful life. The Vedas are for everyone, not a particular group, and are to be realized according to one's qualities. They consist of four texts: the Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda. The Rigveda declares the oneness of truth, while the Atharvaveda proclaims the victory of truth. The Samaveda details the glory of devotional singing and melody. Human life is meant for protection, harmony, and realizing the divine, not for selfish destruction. Learning and applying this Vedic knowledge is essential for both inner and outer joy.

Purify The Karmic Layers
8:25 - 9:18 (53 min)
The human journey is governed by the law of karma, which creates destiny. Positive karma purifies the layers surrounding the soul, while negative karma obscures it. This destiny automatically guides each being through various realms, including heavenly worlds where one stays only until their merit is exhausted. The ultimate aim is to use the human birth for spiritual practice to realize the Self and attain liberation, thus ending the cycle of rebirth. A true aspirant must first purify their consciousness to receive the master's teachings, becoming a receptive vessel. Spiritual development requires removing karmic impurities through discipline and grace, not merely intellectual knowledge. We must live harmoniously, respecting all life as divine and protecting the natural world.
"God gave us freedom to do the karma, but he didn’t give us the freedom to harvest the fruits of the karma."
"Unless the disciple’s consciousness, the energy, is not pure like this glass, whatever you put, it will be polluted."

Mastery requires disciplined training, perfection, and practice before one can teach. Everything, from engineering to medicine, follows this sequence. In yoga, mere physical postures are insufficient; one must master the inner world—desires, likes, and dislikes—across the five kośas: the bodies of nourishment, energy, mind, knowledge, and bliss. This inner engineering demands a guide. Without a master, perfection is impossible, as the ten senses—like wild horses—require the mind and intellect to control them. True yoga leads to self-realization through dedicated practice and lineage guidance, not commercial pursuit. Advanced practice may involve secluded, arduous journeys to sacred places like the Himalayas, where natural barriers and specific herbs aid deep meditation. Ultimately, all sincere paths converge.
"After training comes perfection. After perfection, you practice. Then you can teach others."

Bhramari pranayama can help against many problems
10:25 - 11:04 (39 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. In reality, yoga is one but it has many branches and names. Yogis usually gave the names of animals to the positures because they don't want to come back to the world in the body of that animal. There are also many kinds of kriyas, Some of them are hatha yoga kriyas. There is a big misunderstanding in the western world about hatha yoga. Vajra nadi controls our all nerve systems. Practise every day and go step by step. Pranayama has also many technics. Breathing is happening also towards our skin. The story about a France king and girls covered with gold. Explanation and demonstration of one kind of Bhramari pranayama.
Remember the beauty of the world
11:10 - 11:43 (33 min)
The tree is a mirror for the self, revealing the nature of perception and memory. Observe the external world with full concentration, then close your eyes to visualize it. This tests and develops inner sight. The tree, with its roots in earth and branches in air, reflects the human system from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. One is not a singular entity; the body hosts a universe of microscopic life, a community within. Memory stores all experiences. Consciously retain only the beautiful and nourishing visions, letting go of the unpleasant. These stored impressions become the material for deep meditation. When the mind is scattered, return to these reservoirs of natural beauty to restore focus and peace.
"Similarly, it is with our spine, from the Mūlādhāra Cakra to the top of the head."
"So when you cannot concentrate, you cannot meditate, then go to that beautiful vision, that beautiful view."

Whole world is one family
12:25 - 13:54 (89 min)
Yoga is an ancient discipline embodying unity and a holistic approach to well-being. Its global propagation promotes peace and interconnectedness. The world faces turmoil, war, and pollution, requiring fresh thinking and humanism. Security cannot come from arms alone but from a peaceful mind. Problems like greed and corruption are globalized, demanding global solutions and sustainable lifestyles. The spiritual path involves losing negative tendencies to attain peace and feel oneness. Helping others automatically brings happiness and peace.
"Yoga is not about exercise, but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world, and nature."

Sources of happiness
14:00 - 15:22 (82 min)
Health is the foundational wealth for happiness, achieved through the balance of yoga and Āyurveda.
Health is the first wealth; without it, everything is nothing. Yoga and Āyurveda are two wings for balance: yoga harmonizes astral energy and emotions, while Āyurveda maintains physical health. The primary happiness is a healthy body. The second is having sufficient resources to feed one's family and guests, avoiding greed, which is insatiable like a beggar's bottomless pot made from the human mind. The third happiness is harmony and mutual understanding between husband and wife. The fourth is obedient children. The fifth is good neighbors and social harmony. Worry is a destructive termite that erodes health. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life, focusing on nourishment and natural remedies. Desires, especially of the tongue, are enemies to control. The soul is like a queen bee; when it departs, the bodily systems follow. Simple Āyurvedic techniques, like gentle touch or using a feather, can alleviate issues. Purification practices like Śaṅkhaprakṣālana should align with seasonal changes. True well-being comes from natural living, not excessive consumption or artificial means.
"Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health."
"The first wealth is good health."

The ashram is heaven on earth, a place of immense energy where the Guru is always present in essence. A journey unfolds through divine guidance, not personal will. A trip to India for Guru Pūrṇimā was redirected by unseen forces, leading one back to the ashram family. Later, guidance came through a spoken sentence about Romania, which led to the establishment of an ashram there through inner instruction, not conversation. A pilgrimage to holy sites in the Himalayas was similarly guided, with paths clearing miraculously to allow darśan. In all endeavors, the Guru's direction is for self-learning. Yoga is a path to discover who one is. Scientific research into modified prāṇāyāma, inspired by the Guru's words, later fostered a university collaboration and a successful public yoga event, where a protective cloud appeared as a sign.
"With our yoga in daily life, it is not just āsana. It is a way to learn about ourselves and to look at ourselves."

Welcoming Address and Valedictory Session on Yoga for Wellness
17:00 - 18:08 (68 min)
Yoga for wellness is the subject, moving from practice to integration for national health.
Yoga has gained global acceptance, increasing India's responsibility. The conference aims to establish policy parameters. Yoga is about holistic wellness, not merely cure. Two key features emerged: the need for integration between traditional and modern medicine, and the need for scientific evidence on yoga's impact on specific diseases. Integration must move beyond co-location to active cross-referrals. The ultimate aim is to use yoga to reduce the number of patients. Generating robust scientific evidence is crucial for global acceptability. The presence of both traditional and modern practitioners signifies the desired integration.
"Yoga is not just about a cure. It is about health, overall well-being, and wellness." "We need to generate scientific evidence about the value of yoga if we want true acceptability."

Build your intellect supportive
19:15 - 20:31 (76 min)
A clear aim is essential to prevent the intellect from becoming a destructive distraction. Without a definite purpose, the mind wavers among endless possibilities, changing direction with every new suggestion. This lack of clarity makes one susceptible to external influences and gossip, which act like poison, spoiling spiritual practice as lemon curdles milk. Negative talk and jealousy introduce destructive thoughts that can damage years of spiritual effort. One must therefore cultivate an intensive, unwavering aim and avoid all sources of negative influence. Protect your consciousness from harmful information that creates doubt and disturbs your peace. Spiritual progress requires guarding the mind and maintaining humility, allowing the intellect to become a supportive tool rather than an obstacle.
"Your aim must be very clear, intensive, and good. Nothing should be able to change you."

Hymns of Adoration and the Nirvāṇa Ṣaṭkam
21:30 - 21:53 (23 min)
The true Self is pure consciousness and bliss, beyond all attributes and dualities. It is not the body, the senses, the mind, or the elements. It is without hatred or attachment, virtue or vice, pleasure or pain. It is not the doer, the enjoyer, or any object of experience. This Self is Shiva, the eternal, all-pervading reality. Devotion to the sacred form, the Linga, is praised as a means to destroy all sorrows and sins, leading one to Shiva's abode. These hymns point to the formless truth while honoring the forms that guide the mind toward it.
"I am not the mind, intellect, ego, or consciousness; nor the ears, tongue, nose, or eyes. I am not space, earth, fire, or air. I am the form of consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva."
"To the Linga worshipped by Brahma and the gods, the destroyer of the sufferings of birth, the always auspicious one, to that Linga of Sadashiva, I bow down."

Bhajan singing from Jadan
22:00 - 22:17 (17 min)
True refuge is found only in the divine name and the realized teacher.
Seeking refuge in worldly attachments leads to suffering and delusion. The divine name is the ultimate sanctuary, the true crossing from darkness to light. All other shelters are temporary and false. The teacher, as the embodiment of grace, is the boatman who facilitates this crossing. To take refuge is to surrender completely, abandoning all other supports. This surrender alone brings liberation from the ocean of worldly existence. The name and the teacher are the singular, eternal refuge.
"O Guru Sukhadhāmasvāmī, [you are] the cause of happiness for the entire world, the liberation from attachment."

A devotee expresses a profound longing for spiritual liberation and the Guru's grace. The plea is to become the dust at the Guru's feet, seeking awakening through a sacred mantra. The request is for all karmic bonds to be severed. The heart yearns for the Guru's holy company, a longing so deep it brings tears. The devotion culminates in repeated, fervent invocations and praises to the divine Guru and the lineage.
"O Gurudev, please let me be the dust of your feet."
"Please remove all the chains of my karmas."
