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." "One sentence from Gurudev can change and influence so many things."

Public lecture with Vishwaguruji from Poprad, Slovakia. Why don’t we have time? Why are we suffering from stress? And even more if we have more money? If we would practice yoga three hours a day we would have happy life. Meditation can help us. Vishwaguruji gives a short and practical insight into the system of Yoga in Daily Life.

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." "Unless there is peace around us, we ourselves cannot be peaceful." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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." Filming location: Raumati Beach, New Zealand

Morning practice from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Asanas mainly from the first level of Yoga in Daily Life demonstrated and explained by Mahamandaleshwar Swami Vivekpuriji.

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." Filming location: London, UK

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The divine status of the saint is absolute and inseparable from the divine itself. Holy Bharat is the land of ancient Sanātana Dharma, the eternal law. Saints are the eternal incarnations. A story illustrates this truth. The sage Nārada once questioned his mother's constant visits to saints. His mother instructed him to approach saints only after surrendering all ego of position, wealth, and knowledge. Each step toward a saint then carries the merit of countless sacrifices and removes the fear of death. Nārada later asked Lord Viṣṇu about the many wandering saints. Viṣṇu declared there is no difference between himself and his saints, stating they dwell in every part of his being. Lakṣmī, the goddess of wealth, then affirmed she is the servant of saints, residing wherever they place their feet. True devotion is tested not by wealth but by reverence for the saintly principle. A parable tells of Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī testing a rich man's devotion. The man chose the saint appearing as Lakṣmī, adorned with gold, over the simple saint who was Viṣṇu. He thus failed, proving his devotion was to wealth, not the divine. The guru is the source of everything. Meditate on the guru's form, worship the guru's feet, and follow the guru's words. Liberation springs solely from the guru's grace. A disciple must cultivate pure quality, acting on the guru's wish without question. The guru refines the disciple's ego through teachings, shaping them into an instrument for serving all creation. That service is the true service to the guru. "O Nārada, there is no difference between me and my saints, there is no difference at all." "Where my saints step on this earth, I put my palm. They are walking on the hollow of my palms."

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.

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The discipline of vṛtti is the foundation of yoga. All sacred words are Vedavākya, sharing the same essence. Humans misuse divine gifts, becoming selfish. Two śaktis exist: positive devī śakti and negative āsurī śakti, which can awaken the positive. Vṛtti is your attention, thinking, and where your consciousness moves. Without vṛtti, you become depressed; with uncontrolled vṛtti, you are distracted. Intellect is pure, but greed confuses it. The heart is a bag of feelings like fear and love, but it is weak. Selfishness directs vṛtti toward personal desire. Your vṛtti can be elsewhere even while your body is present, causing restlessness. Therefore, do not merely think from the heart; the heart feels, but the intellect thinks. Discipline is required. Patañjali states yoga is calming the mind's fluctuations. Control your vṛttis; do not let them wander. Bring your vṛtti to rest in the heart, where devotion resides and qualities like mercy awaken. Begin with discipline to control the vṛttis. "Yogaḥ citta vṛtti nirodhaḥ: through practicing yoga, your mind's fluctuations are calmed, or without controlling them, your practice will not succeed." "My body is here, but my vṛtti is there where my beloved Kṛṣṇa is." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The moon's influence connects nature, human consciousness, and spiritual practice. The full moon profoundly affects our emotions and the natural world. In scripture, moonlight is a nectar entering vegetation, linked to the idea of a honeymoon, where honey symbolizes health and immortality. We must protect bees, crucial for this nectar, as their decline is an ecological disaster. A practitioner should be like a bee, extracting only the good from the world without causing harm. The bee's hum is its mantra. To balance the moon's strong energy, one may fast on a full moon day. The moon symbolizes emotion; like ocean waves, high emotions obscure clarity, so important decisions should wait for calm. Our journey involves consciousness moving through energy centers, from the root, which holds past karma, to higher states. We must purify subconscious desires in this life to avoid future suffering. True practice involves healthy living, compassion, and meditation to perceive the divine beauty in all existence, living purely like a lotus in a polluted world. "Arjuna, I enter into the vegetation as a nectar through the moonlight." "If you would like to have all as your friends, then give up harsh words." Filming location: New York, USA

The practice of breath and Brahmari requires consistent, moderate daily effort, not excessive exertion. Specific techniques exist, analogous to a balanced meal with various components. The practice involves three primary focal points: the heart, the navel, and the breath itself. One must learn to inhale and exhale properly through the nostrils, cleaning them as needed. The Brahmari technique follows these points and involves working with the breath's subtleties. Practice it briefly, for about five minutes, twice daily. Do not extend Brahmari for too long. The correct method uses the nostrils, with the lips closed and the mouth slightly open. This disciplined practice, done correctly, yields benefit. "You must practice every day." "We should take our breath in and out with both nostrils." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Yoga in Daily Life Class of Level 6 at Sri Devpuriji Ashram, Zagreb, Croatia.

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. "Ekam Sad Viprā Bahudā Vadanti." "Satyameva jayate." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Sound is the inner Self, equal in all. Bhajans and music resonate as spiritual nourishment, awakening the nervous system and kuṇḍalinī. The melody alone can induce harmony and higher consciousness, a form of yoga accessible to all. This resonance is the fifth Veda. Yet, like the fly that leaves sandalwood for waste, some are not drawn to this purity. The coming Diwali celebrates divine incarnation, a return to light marked by fire, bhajans, and community, echoing the universal joy of Bhagavān Rāma's homecoming. "Instruments are for those who are singing alone. For them, it is not only the instrument but the voice, the sound. And that sound is called the inner Self, which is equal in all." "Even if the translation has no correct meaning, the melody of the one who is singing is enough for everyone to be happy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.

The path requires a true guru to cross the ocean of worldly illusion. Life is a vast ocean where one drifts aimlessly without direction. The goal is to reach the harbor of self-knowledge, called Ātmajñāna. Finding a true master removes all fear, as that realization dries up the ocean itself. One then crosses with dry feet into liberation. Love for the master's lotus feet is what truly matters, making all worldly illusion disappear. By the guru's grace, karma and illusion lose their power. "By repeating His name, one can cross the ocean of ignorance." "Whoever has the form of the guru in their heart need not fear death."
