Gurudev found all of us
0:45 - 1:54 (69 min)
Recorded on
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
Meditation can help us
2:00 - 3:25 (85 min)
Recorded on
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.
Sources of happiness
3:30 - 4:52 (82 min)
Recorded on
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
Rishis are protecting us
5:00 - 5:55 (55 min)
Recorded on
Great ṛṣis and saints exist unseen, protecting humanity. These perfected beings are present globally, often hidden in remote places like glaciers or deserts. They communicate mind-to-mind and possess profound knowledge. While invisible, their protective energy shields us. Historical accounts, like a photo of a meditating ascetic under a glacier, attest to their existence. Their influence spans eras and continents, with cultural connections found worldwide, such as Hanumān statues in Mexico. We live in a time where negative forces are strong, but these ṛṣis counteract them with their radiant energy. True spirituality recognizes the divine in all traditions without criticism. Judging others as "good" or "bad" primarily reflects our own inner state. A spiritual master, like a surgeon, works to cleanse our inner impurities without rejection. Our nature is to help, just as a scorpion's nature is to sting. "There are very great ṛṣis, saints. They are protecting us." "His nature is to sting, and my nature is to bring him out and leave him."

Practising with Vishwaguruji
6:00 - 6:50 (50 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Rijeka Ashram, Croatia. Concentration on the heart and navel in a standing position. Practising asanas also in a standing position. Practising bhramari pranayama.
Feel the confidence and God will help
6:55 - 7:41 (46 min)
Recorded on
Confidence is the thread that holds our spiritual life together. Begin and end each day by turning inward, surrendering all actions to the divine. This surrender brings peace and freedom from fear, for one knows the indwelling Self can never be taken away. Confidence is not a fleeting emotion but a state of oneness, like milk and water merging. All activities are like beads on a fragile thread; without the knot of confidence, the thread breaks. All beings are sustained by one God, just as all citizens belong to one country and all raindrops return to the ocean. Disputes arise from duality, forgetting that all is one. The practice of faith, like the prostration in prayer, allows one to see the unseen reality. "Anyone can take from my hands, but not from my jīvā, my ātmā." "Eko brahma dvitīya nāsti: one Brahman, there is no second." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Two kinds of power
7:45 - 8:51 (66 min)
Recorded on
Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Brisbane, Australia. We need power for everything. Incarnations have a weapon and also a blessing in their hands. Both Siva and Shakti is power. Now in the Kali-yuga devils are awakened. Siva is the God of the devas and devils also. The negative and positive sides also are within us. A story about a tongue and a tooth. Pranayam always must begin in the left nostril. The ocean is the power of the Earth. All five elements have their power. We need power positive but hard. During meditation, we should see our inner world. Practice and heory are completely different. When we chant OM our tongue should be relaxed.
Samadhi
8:55 - 9:58 (63 min)
Recorded on
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
Influence Of The Full Moon
10:05 - 11:02 (57 min)
Recorded on
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
Heart and intellect
11:10 - 11:49 (39 min)
Recorded on
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
There is no end of learning
11:55 - 12:36 (41 min)
Recorded on
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."

Purify The Karmic Layers
12:40 - 13:33 (53 min)
Recorded on
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
Stories are within you
13:40 - 14:38 (58 min)
Recorded on
Surrender to the guru is the path to grace, and stories are vessels for truth. We are not the doer; all action belongs to the guru. We surrender our capacity at the holy feet. An object, like carved stone, is transformed through consecration and placement upon the altar; it becomes divine through worship. Offer what you can from inner devotion. The guru's grace precedes our birth, and there are many true gurus. Do not judge them. A story was told of a poor man who asked a great sage four questions but was given only three answers for others' problems. By selflessly conveying the solutions—which revealed treasure and led to a marriage—his own poverty was resolved. Your word has power; speak with care, for what you declare takes form. Truth resides within, and a story is that inner store of experience. Learn through crafting tales from your own life. "First, give your answers. And he said, 'Only three questions.' And these three were the answer for your fourth." "The story is in you. So every day before going to sleep, have a story for yourself." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Give Up Your Ego!
14:45 - 15:42 (57 min)
Recorded on
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."

Past is gone future is not here yet
15:50 - 16:34 (44 min)
Recorded on
The path is to be present, letting go of past and future. You have practiced and received knowledge. Our way is to be relaxed and normal, not straining or focusing oddly. What we seek is to know the Self. We follow a given path but must understand it ourselves. We are human with knowledge, yet we do not know what comes after this life. Do not dwell on the past; it is gone like an exhale. We often live in memories or future thoughts, not in the present. Suffering in the present will not last. We must come into our heart and thoughts to be one. Forget the past; your future path will be good. What you have now is here; do not lose it by grasping for more. "Do not meditate and concentrate on what is gone; learning is gone." "The past is gone. The present is here. But you think, 'In the future, I will also get this.' But you will not get it."

Mana Mana Mohana Satguru Shyam
16:40 - 17:00 (20 min)
Recorded on
The heart is enchanted by the Satguru, struck by the arrow of divine love so that God is seen everywhere. The world is a great deception, spreading widely, where the ignorant soul, entangled in ego and delusion, does not seek refuge. One prays to the Sattva Guru with folded hands to be allowed to perform selfless service. Through this service to the divine, all impurities of mind and intellect are washed away, leading to a vision of the supreme reality and bliss. Service is the path to transcend the illusion and attain liberation. "sat manamonant jadu dara jara manamoshya yajur atarvasya yajur pervata dhyah." "Seva Shri Devapurījī Mahādeva Brahma Darshaave."

Around the world - Yoga against backpain SLO
17:10 - 17:46 (36 min)
Recorded on
The spine's structure, function, and care through yoga are examined. The spine consists of 24 vertebrae forming the axial skeleton, protecting the spinal cord. Muscles and ligaments support posture and movement. Pain arises from acute strain or chronic issues like poor alignment and disc damage. Daily postures, such as prolonged sitting, create imbalance and excessive load, particularly on the lower lumbar vertebrae. Proper biomechanics and the hydraulic function of intervertebral discs are crucial for distributing force. A brief daily yoga practice can alleviate these issues. Gentle stretching, twisting, and strengthening āsanas, performed with awareness, relieve tension, mobilize the spine, and improve overall energy. Consistency in a short morning routine yields significant benefit. "The spinal cord is the main highway in our body for nerve signals." "Chronic pains are more complex. They last for months or even years." Filming location: Slovenia
