Practice and try to purify your karma
1:05 - 1:55|Recorded on 30 Aug 2018
Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are many beautiful apples, but some of them are rotten because a wasp infected them. When a person is spoiled, the wisdom that he got is lost. In the shelter of Gurudev, if the faith is not strong enough, some problems immediately come. A story about Kabir Das and the butcher. Those who are doing, will get the karma. The story of a man who wants to make problems for someone. Children have truth in their heart. We have to give a good message to the world. The fruit will show the condition of the tree. Karuna from Czech Republic speaks about Yoga in Daily Life helping biathlon athletes.

The Journey of the Soul: From the Ocean to the Drop
2:00 - 2:54
|
From: 25 Mar 2018
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."

Unity, love, forgiveness, and devotion

From: 6 Dec 2025
Unity is essential, especially in challenging times when the intellect tends toward destruction. When all spiritual power unites positively, it can transform the age. Humans possess a unique intellect for processing information, but we often bypass this, losing awareness. Our minds race, scattering our focus from the present moment. Being fully aware of our surroundings and actions is crucial. True service requires devotion and feeling; without it, any practice is incomplete. Our restless mind, not the eternal soul, disturbs our peace. Living in the present, not stuck in past or future, allows us to enjoy now. We are united like beads on a thread of devotion, which makes us strong. Modern life fragments families and forgets cultural roots of togetherness. Open, shared spaces foster love and unity over barriers. To love others, we must first love and accept ourselves without blame. The world is one family; non-harm is the highest duty because all beings contain the divine. We protect righteousness, and it protects us. Life should be dedicated to others, like saints and kings. Forgiveness is for our own inner peace, releasing the grudge that consumes us. Perform your duty without attachment to the outcome.
"God gave us something which other creatures do not have. Something in between our two ears, which is? Brain, buddhi."
"When we forgive people for what they have done, it's not for them, it's for us. Because when we forgive them, it gives us that sense of peace which we need."

Yoga, the inner engineering

From: 12 Jun 2016
Satsang with Vishwaguruji, summer retreat in Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are different levels of our being such as: Atma, Jivatma, consciousness/awareness, mind, emotion, senses, desires, physical body and energy body. There is an inner balancing mechanism to distribute energy to the whole body. With proper inner engineering we should avoid destroying our system. We need healthy seasonal eating and enhanced practice such as Pranayam.
Humanitarian work

From: 1 Jan 2008
The heart of this center is unity through selfless service. Founded on a vision of yoga as unity, it manifests as humanitarian action. The central building, shaped like Om, symbolizes divine beauty and balance. Education is a core mission, providing for poor, orphaned, and disabled children to create balanced citizens. The center operates a hospital, a fire service, and a cow sanctuary, offering refuge and care. A major water project created a lake and hill to secure water for the area, turning desert into life. Tree planting supports this sustainable development. The strength for all service comes from inner yoga practice, controlling body, breath, and mind to find wholeness. This work transforms ideals into reality.
"Making a man is not the function of parliaments; making a real man with full human qualities is the function of education alone."
"The hands that help are more valuable than the hands that pray."
