Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.

The spiritual path requires the support of a family and the transformative grace of the guru. Brotherhood on the path provides essential support during difficult times, offering patience, listening, and welcome without judgment. The path inherently involves friction and difficulty, and these challenges extend to relationships among those practicing together. A commitment to one's spiritual family means being ready to welcome and support them unconditionally. This creates a special atmosphere of unity and care that is profoundly valuable. The guru's role is to dismantle the disciple's ego through a continuous, often repetitive process. This teaching feels like a cycle of inflation and deliberate deflation, breaking down intellectual understanding to force action from the heart alone. The process is exhausting and designed to create mental uncertainty, stripping away the disciple's reliance on logic. Grace operates on multiple levels. The first grace is the gift of a human birth. The second comes from scriptures and life experiences that awaken spiritual seeking. The third is the indispensable grace of the guru. The fourth and crucial grace is one's own grace towards oneself—the discipline to consistently practice the teachings. The guru provides the light of guidance, but without the disciple's practice and discipline, that light only illuminates the impending crash. Therefore, one must wake up and utilize this rare opportunity. "Those brothers and sisters are there to support us when we have a difficult time." "Without that relation to the guru and the guru’s feet, it’s all nothing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Kumbha pot symbolizes the nectar of immortality, a truth within spiritual practice. During the Kumbh Melā, bathing at the sacred confluence during an auspicious constellation cleanses karma and bestows blessings. I took the ritual bath for all devotees, transferring the merits for their health and realization. The immense gathering generates a collective spiritual energy that awakens inner strength. However, the spiritual path is often obscured by false claims of psychic powers and siddhis. Many pretend to see auras or tell futures, exploiting pure-hearted seekers. Such lies are a great sin and a major obstacle. True spiritual power manifests naturally through presence and goodness, not for show or gain. Do not be deceived by those offering magical solutions or creating fear. Your focus must remain on genuine devotion and practice under a true lineage. Expectations lead to disappointment; be like the steadfast banyan tree, providing shelter without attachment. The ultimate goal is self-realization, ending all suffering. "Satya barabar tap nahi, jhoot barabar pāp—there is no austerity more than truth, and no greater sin than to lie." "Be that banyan tree which welcomes everyone, is never overwhelmed, and never sad."

Our subject is the Kuṇḍalinī, the chakras, and human life. Happiness is within ourselves. Unhappiness comes from outside, from disappointment, but it also resides within. Like a shadow, death walks beside us always. Unspoken grievances become a poison stored in the body, specifically in the Viśuddhi chakra. A couple suffered for fifty years because she never told him she wanted the hard crust of the bread. Swallowing negative words creates this poison, affecting health. The mythological poison from churning the ocean was drunk and held by Śiva in his throat. Similarly, we must purify our inner poison through communication, forgiveness, and practice. Do not blame others. Speak humbly: say you are sorry and ask for forgiveness. Practice prāṇāyāma, like Ujjāyī, to cleanse this energy. What we eat creates impurities; a vegetarian diet is purer. Swallowed negativity can manifest as illness. Purify your consciousness through sādhanā, prayer, and mantra. Release negativity and proceed on a positive path. "Unhappiness and happiness are within ourselves also. But if we use yoga, then this unhappiness will, all the time, be pushed down." "Viś means poison. Viśuddhi means purification. How to purify this poison of our negative thinking, negative hearing, that all this is unhappiness and everything is within us." Filming location: Garrison, NY, USA

The spiritual journey requires focused effort and inner turning, culminating in grace. A story illustrates this: countless small birds unite to empty an ocean to save lost chicks, their collective effort summoning a great being who secures their return. Our scattered mental tendencies are like those birds; when unified in spiritual purpose, their power is focused. The goal is not external. The divine essence, subtler than the subtle, resides within the heart. One searches the outer world in vain, for what is sought is hidden within. By quieting the mind and senses through discipline, the inner sound is heard. This realization ends all doubt. "The Ātmā, subtler than the subtle, greater than the great is seated in the heart of each living being." "What you’re searching for is already sitting inside yourself."

A guided yoga practice integrates movement, breath, and awareness. Begin by feeling the body's contact with the floor, focusing on the spine. Proceed through a sequence of postures, coordinating each motion with the breath. Maintain awareness of specific body parts, such as the ankles during leg circles or the shoulder blades during twists. The practice includes variations of poses like spinal twists, leg raises, and forward bends. Breath observation is central; feel the inhalation moving from stomach to throat and the exhalation reversing this path. Conclude with prāṇāyāma and mantra repetition, emphasizing presence and the relaxation of the body and mind. "Try to feel your inhalation moving from your stomach to your throat, and your exhalation moving from your throat to your stomach." "Remain aware of your motion. Continue making large circles, and slowly finish." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

The soul is caught in the mortal body, a condition shared by all creatures, yet humans possess unique knowledge. The fundamental inquiry is into the nature of the Ātmā, which is presumed to be within but remains unseen. Many believe existence ends with the body, while others hold beliefs of heaven, hell, or merging with God. Theory is insufficient; personal experiential practice is essential. The story of the bandit Vālmīki illustrates that even the most burdened soul can be liberated through single-pointed devotion and mantra repetition, transforming into a great sage. The human body is a divine temple, a Garbhagṛha where the soul resides, and must be respected and kept pure. One must persist in practice with devotion and alertness to realize the truth within. "Neither this side nor that side, but it is there. It is there where you are, so you have to experience the practice and see for yourself personally." "In every temple is your statue, but I cannot see your face, my Lord. Oh my Lord, you are living in every heart. But I want to see you." Filming location: Slovakia

Rakṣā Bandhan is a universal bond and an inward vow. The thread is a yearly reminder. Promises made are not only between siblings. The vow is to protect the mind from negativity, the tongue from harsh words, and actions from adharma. Humans are drawn toward adharma, like lying or stealing. The knot is tied tightly so the inner vow does not slip. This bond extends to the Guru, friends, and oneself. It is a promise to guard against ego and jealousy. When a promise of protection is given, one must act, not just pray. This day mends conflicts and preserves tradition for future generations. It affirms a mutual bond of protection and guidance. "Helping hands are better than folded hands." "Gurudev, I am yours, you are mine. I am in your heart, and you are in my heart." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Vegetarian cooking lesson

The four aspects of Kṛpā illuminate the path to self-love. Deva Kṛpā is the mercy of the gods, granting the human incarnation necessary for liberation. Śāstra Kṛpā is the mercy of the holy scriptures, which contain the teachings of the gurus. Guru Kṛpā is the mercy given by the guru, triggered by the disciple's devotion and service. Kuṭkī Kṛpā is the mercy one gives to oneself. This self-love is not ego, which is a low vibration of taking, but a high vibration of giving. Many avoid self-love, fearing it is ego, yet one cannot truly love others without loving oneself. A practical form is sending loving, healing energy to one's own body, which can have profound physical effects. The process to cultivate this begins with self-acceptance, proceeds through self-understanding via inquiry, and culminates in the desire to give and forgive oneself. This inner work is essential for spiritual growth. "Love each and every living being, if not more, then at least as much as yourself." "We cannot really love others if we don’t love ourselves."

Guru's grace is the sole reality. Without it, nothing is possible. All life exists within a web of interconnected grace. Parents give life and inherent blessings. The community, village, and even street animals provide protection and sustenance, reflecting divine care. This interconnected life is to be respected and loved. True spiritual duty may conflict with worldly attachments, as family may not comprehend or support a deeper calling. The ultimate test of devotion reveals that no worldly relationship can sacrifice for one's spiritual path. Only the guru's unconditional grace grants the disciple peace and fulfillment. "Guru kṛpā hi kevalam. When Gurudeva’s blessing is present, then everything is possible." "Only the guru's unconditional grace grants the disciple peace and fulfillment."

The soul's journey is from separation from the divine source back to union with it. The individual soul, or jīva, originates from the supreme oneness, like a water droplet separating from the ocean through evaporation. This droplet then longs to return. The cycle of the soul mirrors the water cycle: it ascends, travels, and descends back to earth, entering vegetation and bodies. Satsang is the boat to cross the ocean of separation, guided by the Guru or the holy scripture, which embodies the Guru's presence. Constant repetition of the divine name, like "Ram," is a highway to that goal. However, our physical actions create karma. We poison the earth and water with chemicals from soaps, cosmetics, and medicines, which is violence against nature and ourselves. True spirituality requires internal purity and non-violence in all conduct, as everything is counted. Liberation comes from realizing you cannot hide your actions from yourself or the divine. "From the ocean, the jīva is in the water, the soul is in the water." "This drop is called Jīva. And when this drop falls into the ocean, the Jīva becomes the Ātmā." Filming location: London, UK

Spiritual practice requires vigilance and faith to remain uncorrupted. Some individuals spread negativity like infection, causing others to fall from wisdom. Stay close to the Guru's shelter for protection, as some grains avoid being ground by staying near the mill's central pillar. Do not carry the burdens of others; those who create trouble for others bear their own karma. Your duty persists regardless of hour. Share the pure teachings without manipulation, as the fruit reveals the quality of the tree. Practice diligently and purify your own karma. "Between these two stones, played no one remained complete." "Whoever does that will suffer. Why are you crying?" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The mission of human life is to realize our true nature and unite with the divine. Being born human is not merely for eating and sleeping; animals do that. True humanity is defined by qualities like kindness, forgiveness, and protection. We require three educations. First, ethical education from parents and community, which builds trust and relation, vital for a better society. Second, intellectual education from school to develop the mind and learn to help others. Third, spiritual education, parā vidyā, the knowledge of the Self, God, and love. Our actions reflect on our parents and our homeland. We must not be selfish, especially in caring for the elderly, who need care as much as children. Learn to forgive and never be the cause of another's tears. Work is worship; we are born to do good. Everything material is left behind at death. Only the fragrance of our good deeds remains. Therefore, build for your eternal home, not just your temporary one. "Rahiman dhāgā prem kā, mat todo chitkāya, toḍā phir jūḍe nahīṁ, jūḍe gāṁṭ paḍ jāya." (The thread of love, do not break it out of some doubt or anger. Once broken, it cannot be joined again. If joined, there will be a knot.) "Kya leke āye the aur kya leke jāyeṅge? Bandi muthi āyethe." (What did we bring, and what will we take? When born, your fist was closed.) Filming location: London, UK

The Supreme is the primordial sound, the resonance that harmonizes the universe. The individual soul is a wave of that resonance, distinct from the universal Ātmā. This soul journeys endlessly through time, experiencing all dualities, accompanied only by its karma. Upon death, no material thing or relation follows; the soul exists in a void where only its own record remains. Every action through body, mind, speech, and resources is recorded with absolute precision by cosmic justice. The human birth is a rare opportunity granted in this mortal world, a workshop to end the soul's wandering. Do not squander it. Be meticulously mindful of your actions, for you alone bear their consequences. The aim is not worldly riches but spiritual wealth—to awaken and dissolve back into the Supreme. "The soul is fluttering on the waves of time. For ages and ages, through darkness and through light, experiencing joy and misery." "Every moment, every second, whatever you speak, whatever you do, whatever you write—everything is by destiny, very quickly." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

First Vishwagurujis visit to Romania.

A new ashram opens to teach the universal path of yoga, a science of body, mind, and soul for inner peace and health. This place was prepared over many years by volunteers spreading authentic yoga, not as a business. Yoga is an ancient universal science of balance and harmony originating with Śiva, beyond any single religion. It is a tool for modern life, where one must find willpower and time for practice amidst societal haste. The practice requires careful, daily effort without competition, adaptable for all ages and conditions. Its ultimate aim is to realize one's relation with the Supreme, fostering health, peace, and universal brotherhood. The future depends on educating children in this spiritual knowledge. "Yoga is universal. So I see your centers... as centers of universal brotherhood." "Yoga means balance, harmony, and unity." Filming location: Slovenia

The interplay of divine will, human attachment, and the quest for immortality is examined through sacred narratives. Actions produce reactions, leading to blessings or curses from divine justice. Attachment, or moha, is a source of suffering, as seen in worldly examples and divine stories. Śiva had immense attachment to Śakti. When she disobeyed his counsel and went to her father's yajña, she perished in the fire. Śiva, in grief, withdrew from the universe with her body. To restore cosmic order, Viṣṇu used his discus to cut her form into pieces, creating the sacred Śakti Pīṭhas. Śakti later incarnated as Pārvatī. The celestial sage Nārada often sows discord, such as prompting Pārvatī to question Śiva's garland of skulls. Śiva explained each skull represents a past incarnation where she died from not following his guidance. Pārvatī demanded the secret of immortality. Reluctant due to potential misuse, Śiva finally agreed to teach her in a secluded cave, imparting the Guru Gītā. During the teaching, Pārvatī fell asleep. A parrot eavesdropped, repeating affirmations. Discovered, the parrot fled and entered the womb of a sage's wife. The unborn being, later born as Śukadeva, initially refused birth until the world was briefly made perfect. He ultimately received the knowledge of immortality from King Janaka. This illustrates the struggle with māyā and the necessity of a true guide for liberation. "Love is the greatest. That love is God, and God is love." "You cannot fight against Brahmā, Viṣṇu, or Śiva unless you have a concrete reason." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Public lecture with Vishwaguruji from Martin, Slovakia. Yoga means uniting, harmonizing and balancing. Our earth is a living planet, in each and every cell of the body there is an immense amount of energy. The aim of the human life is to achieve liberation. Nourishment, breath, behavior and practicing yoga exercises, are the main points if we would like to be healthy and keep ourselves pure.

Meditation is an ancient practice with two forms: active karma yoga and passive inner absorption. This world is a mortal field of action where all that is born will die and all that is created will be destroyed. It is also a living planet, a home for countless creatures, not just humans. Humanity's error is believing the planet belongs solely to us, using our intellect to govern and destroy it. There are two worlds: the perfect God-made world and the imperfect man-made world, which are now in disharmony due to human selfishness. We have become a destructive force, stealing from and harming nature for our comfort, leading to climate crises as nature's reaction. True success is not personal gain that causes another's loss, but action that considers all beings. Therefore, return to karma yoga—selfless, protective work—as your worship. After such active work, practice passive meditation by withdrawing the senses, surrendering burdens to the divine, and seeking oneness. Meditation requires techniques to concentrate and ultimately merge, allowing you to see the divine beauty in all creation, which physical eyes alone cannot perceive. "Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam—through the practice of karma yoga, you will be successful in your yoga practice." "Mother Nature has enough for everyone’s need, but not for the greed."

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."

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." "Refuge is yours. Sri Kanata, refuge is yours. Sri Cintāmita, refuge in the body is yours." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Morning program from Strilky, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing.

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."
