Bhajan singing in the presence of Vishwaguruji
0:05 - 1:40 (95 min)
Recorded on
The divine lineage is invoked and praised, its grace and power are extolled. The Guru is the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and spiritual attainment. The gathering is reminded of practical conduct. The supreme Lord bestows happiness, wealth, and removes all obstacles and diseases for the devoted. The one who longs for the divine is liberated from sins. The heart is awakened by the Guru's light, dispelling darkness forever. "Meditation's root is the Guru's form, worship's root is the Guru's feet, mantra's root is the Guru's word, attainment's root is the Guru's grace." "The one who has His darshan, his sins are washed away. The one who longs for Him, his sins are washed away." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Two kinds of power
1:45 - 2:51 (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
2:55 - 3:58 (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
Prayer will reach our chakras
4:05 - 4:51 (46 min)
Recorded on
The instrument of life must be understood and handled with care, beginning with the study of chakras and kuṇḍalinī from the roots. Any instrument, whether a machine, a horse, or the human body, requires a knowledgeable handler. A horse is a great animal and a friend, sensing fear and responding with care if treated with respect. The human body is a fragile instrument; its health depends on controlled habits of eating, moving, and sleeping. Upon waking, remember you are human and see first the faces of parents or spiritual images. Respect parents deeply, for they protected and suffered for you. All humans are one, despite different names or races. Step onto the earth as your mother and begin the day with water, touching the nerve system. Understanding chakras is natural; fearing them leads to problems. You are already divine; your chakras are okay. Do not rush. This study requires a true guru. "The instrument itself does not matter. Any kind of instrument should not be given into the hands of a person who does not know how to handle it." "First, I am human. When we think really, really, then the whole day we will not do anything wrong to other humans." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Stories are within you
4:55 - 5:53 (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

Morning program with Vishwaguruji from Sydney Ashram, Australia. Practising asanas and relaxation with Vishwaguruji.
Purify The Karmic Layers
7:20 - 8:13 (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
Influence Of The Full Moon
8:20 - 9:17 (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
Meditation can help us
9:25 - 10:50 (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.
One day we will be together
10:55 - 11:39 (44 min)
Recorded on
All spiritual paths are one, despite different names and forms. This unity is seen in families where each member has a name, yet the family is one. Similarly, every yoga center and religion, though named differently, converges on the same truth. Just as children in a kindergarten are all beautiful, all spiritual endeavors are good. The human soul is one, despite variations in body or color. Life is like water: individual drops from clouds or rivers ultimately return to and merge with the ocean. Maintaining distinct traditions and knowing one's roots creates harmony, while excessive mixing without understanding leads to confusion. Respect all paths and see the single reality within all forms. "Yoga is only one yoga; we simply have different names." "Water is water. It may be in the clouds, in the ocean... but one fine drop comes together with others... and finally returns to the ocean." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Give Up Your Ego!
11:45 - 12:42 (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."

Gurudev found all of us
12:50 - 13:59 (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
Rishis are protecting us
14:05 - 15:00 (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."

Feel the confidence and God will help
15:05 - 15:51 (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
Past is gone future is not here yet
15:55 - 16:39 (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."

The effect of the Moon to our life
16:40 - 16:56 (16 min)
Recorded on
Life is governed by the natural order of the moon, sun, and water. The moon's movement directly influences our inner being and balances the Earth. Water is life itself, essential for all beings and the land. Modern interference with natural rhythms causes suffering. Changing clocks disrupts animals and human practices. Consuming fruits from opposing climates introduces conflicting energies and can cause illness. Aligning with natural cycles is crucial for health and harmony. The Guru's grace is the essential guide on this path. "Life is very connected to the moon." "Water is life. Life is water." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Around the world - YIDL at he Sziget Festival Budapest 2011
17:00 - 17:05 (5 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is offered as a sanctuary within a large music festival. For eleven years, we provide a daily practice, showing festival-goers how to relax deeply. Many newcomers try yoga here for the first time. We adapt to the fast-paced environment by offering 20-25 minute sessions tailored to individual requests for rest, asana, or meditation. Initial interest often comes from seeing dynamic asana practice. We always begin with simple, grounding exercises, not advanced postures. We emphasize preserving the tradition's purity and spirituality, contrasting with the popular strength-based styles. Our presence in this community space is essential, as many might not seek out a dedicated center. People practice even amidst loud music, achieving a withdrawal of the senses. This demonstrates that deep relaxation is possible anywhere. "Based on this, our prepared yoga instructors tailor the session accordingly." "The astonishing experience we have is that at most they achieve pratyāhāra, the withdrawal of the senses, so that they are absolutely undisturbed by what is happening outside."

Yoga is practiced in the heart of the city on a car-free day. Our international system, Yoga in Daily Life, was founded by an Indian master and has been present here for over thirty years. We have a center that has continuously held classes from the same location. Today, we practiced with children of various ages. It is interesting to practice yoga on this normally busy avenue. The experience proves you can practice undisturbed even here; the curious onlookers inspire us. We welcome visitors to try this tomorrow.

Around the world - YIDL at the Budapest Vegetarian Festival 2011
17:20 - 17:25 (5 min)
Recorded on
Yoga in Everyday Life is a system of practice for daily living. We demonstrate its aspects at events like the Vegetarian Festival. The practice involves paying attention to bodily sensations, which connects you to vitality carried by circulation and prāṇa. The system offers recommendations, with a vegetarian lifestyle being foremost. It is not enough to merely be vegetarian; one must also move, exercise, practice prāṇāyāma, and relax. This philosophy aims first for good health, suggesting many troubles originate from the stomach and the sense of taste. Managing this is possible through the master yoga system. Beyond physical benefits, the philosophy makes life easier, providing opportunity to find oneself and ultimately reach the Self of God, Paramātmā. "Among these, the foremost is to maintain a vegetarian lifestyle." "He can deal with everything if he is involved in the master yoga system." Filming location: Budapest, Hungary
There is no end of learning
17:30 - 18:11 (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."

Heart and intellect
18:15 - 18:54 (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

Bhajan singing from Jadan Ashram
23:55 - 0:41 (46 min)
Recorded on
The yogi's sleep is a state of yogic consciousness where wakefulness is known within sleep, and day is known within night. It is a sleep without support, upon a white stone slab. In that sleep, one knows the day within the night. It is a sleep of knowledge, leading to the state of Nirvana. Through this practice, one meets the Supreme Person. The true form is revealed when one meets that Person. The guru's assembly reveals the true knowledge. The body is without a country; the divine person is wondrous. One who worships in this way is absorbed in the guru. "Us nindrāme jagratā jāne, punirātri me divasu jñānī hai." "Deha binā deśikānī hai, Deva Puruṣa dabhuta havāliyā."
