Invocation of the Divine Lineage

The divine lineage is invoked to connect with the supreme spiritual power. This lineage represents an unbroken chain of grace and wisdom, a living current of consciousness from the Absolute. By chanting these sacred names, one aligns with this transcendental energy. The invocation is not mere recitation but a devotional act of remembrance. It opens the heart to receive blessings and dissolves the illusion of separation. Each name signifies a perfected being who embodies the ultimate truth. This practice establishes a direct link to the source of all enlightenment. "Om bole Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavāna, Kī Jaya." "Viśvagurujī Paramahaṁsa Maheśvarānanda Gurudevam, Kī Jai."

Coming here is like coming to a Temple

A temple is a place to receive spiritual energy and charge one's inner battery. Coming to this gathering felt like entering such a temple. This connection between lands is historical. Over a century ago, Czech scholars established Indology, discovering linguistic ties to Sanskrit. The poet Rabindranath Tagore visited here, bringing his vision for education in nature at Shantiniketan, which Czechs supported. Now, a century later, that same supportive spirit continues for this new project and university. The work done in a challenging region shows great passion. This university will become a magnet for global students, just as the temple project will succeed through collective love and affection. "Swāmījī is our permanent ambassador of India, spreading the message of love and humanity." "Just as India has become a magnet, I am sure this university will also become a magnet to attract many students." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The relation between Guru and disciple

The grace of the Satguru is the sole means to the supreme state, dissolving all conflict and revealing the indestructible self. Through the Guru's grace, one is immersed in bliss, and all faults are washed away. The Guru's lineage carries this divine authority. The Guru transmits the essential teaching, sometimes through a single word that blossoms into full understanding. A true disciple embodies the Guru's presence, becoming a conduit for that grace. The relationship is demonstrated through obedience, as in the disciple who faithfully goes for alms as instructed. The bond between Guru and disciple is eternal, transcending material offerings and physical presence. The Guru's work is like a seed that bears fruit across generations, propagating the truth. "Through the Satguru's grace, my great conflict is dissolved." "The one who has a Guru, that Guru is the one who is one." Filming locations: Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India

Introduction to the chakras

The three states of consciousness and the serpent power are examined. When tired, one goes inside and loses awareness of the world. A technique is to be completely relaxed, going deep within to a place of pure being. The cobra symbolizes divine power. Śiva, Viṣṇu, and Śakti are present within. The single eye of Śiva represents inner sight. Practice involves yoga, prāṇāyāma, and kriyā. The Kuṇḍalinī power must rise. This awakening is not for casual discussion. All aspects of mind and time reside within. The divine union of Śiva and Śakti represents inseparable power. Ultimately, all is one. "This snake is God." "All in one. One in all."

Invocation of Divine Grace

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. Bhajan singing. Translation of the bhajan "Itna to karana Guruji"

Around the world - Inauguration Nandeshwar

Yoga progresses from physical practice to the realization of the supreme Self. The foundation is Āsana, the physical posture. Remaining only there is mere exercise. One must proceed to Prāṇāyāma to steady the mind, then Pratyāhāra to withdraw the senses. This leads to Dhāraṇā, concentration, and then unbroken Dhyāna, meditation. Yet meditation retains duality. Samādhi dissolves this, unifying knower, knowing, and known into Turīya, the fourth state. The ultimate goal is beyond even this: Turīyātīta, the transcendent Conscious Principle, the Self of absolute Existence, Consciousness, and Bliss. All practices are a boat to cross the river; upon reaching the far shore, the boat is left behind. "All practices—Āsana, Prāṇāyāma, Dhyāna—are merely the boat to cross the river." "This is not a state to be attained; it is our very essence, the Chetan Puruṣa, the Conscious Principle."

We all will come to oneness

The oneness of service and the soul is our essential truth. Everyone is equal and should be included in practices like pūjā. Give all the opportunity to learn and participate. The altar holds God, so service there is for God. Maintain cleanliness and respect traditional considerations. We are one family, so provide for basic needs like food without emphasis on money. Daily work and satsaṅg are for everyone, like the sun shines for all. God provides for all creatures. At life's end, the soul returns to oneness, beyond religious labels. We originate from and return to the divine ocean like drops of water. Our inner life is God's life. Respect all beings and see the good within. "One in all and all in one." "The ocean is the ocean. We all will come in oneness, and we will come to the ocean again." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Selfless action and bhajans

The spiritual path integrates worldly duties and inner practice without division. A sacred place amplifies one's inner state, bringing peace or agitation based on inner purity. The system of practice is designed for moment-to-moment connection. Work and devotion purify the mind through selfless action and spiritual study. These are not separate paths; one must balance both practical and spiritual knowledge. Following only worldly knowledge leads to darkness, and following only spiritual knowledge leads to greater darkness. The duty is to perform actions while surrendering the fruits. "Karma Yoga is something you do selflessly from inside; there is no 'I will gain this and that.'" "If you follow only physical knowledge, you will end in darkness. But if you follow only spiritual knowledge, you will end in even worse darkness." Filming locations: Jadan, Rajasthan, India.

Birthday celebraion of Swami Avatarpuriji

A birthday celebration reveals the mysterious spiritual destiny given by God, not determined by birth or education. Children from the same parents receive different divine gifts and follow separate paths. A person from a simple village, a master of goats, can become a great spiritual leader by this divine will. The spiritual journey is not chosen but received, leading each individual to their destined work across the world. This destiny unfolds naturally, like a seed growing into a specific tree. All saints arrive by different roads, yet fulfill their unique purpose from the same source. "In India, in scriptures, they are saying there are 24 Avatāras, so I am thinking that it is the 25th Avatāra." "He is the master of goats. Why? He is also very good. But with that goat, he has become someone else." Filming locations: Jadan, Pali, Rajasthan

Yoga and Indian Culture Worldwide: An International Seminar Address

Yoga transforms the world into a planet of peace through practice and cultural values. Yoga is a way of living for a healthy mind in a healthy body. Theory alone yields no result; practice is essential. Yoga and Vedanta remove impurity, ignorance, and injustice. Indian culture, rooted in saṃskāras, gives knowledge of harmonious living. Spiritual education complements material education for a balanced life. The lineage of gurus, from Alakhpurījī to present, preserves this knowledge. Gurudev has established over 108 ashrams in 21 countries, teaching yoga and culture. Millions have been made vegetarian through non-violence in thought, word, and deed. The Om Ashram project in Rajasthan, shaped as Om, houses 108 residential units and 1,108 Shiva idols. Humanitarian initiatives include rainwater harvesting, cow shelters, and food distribution during crises. The World Peace Council, recognized by the UN, holds summits for global harmony. Saṃskāras begin at birth, with Om written on the tongue, shaping human values. Bowing to parents and earth cultivates longevity, knowledge, fame, and strength. Europe is materially rich but spiritually arid, while Bharat is a garden of wisdom. Death is not feared but seen as liberation in Indian culture. Meeting a saint brings incomparable happiness. "Tons of theory is nothing when compared to the grammar of practice." "We cannot change the world, but we can change ourselves." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Human and God

A call to conscience for Sanātana Dharma, observing spiritual and cultural decline. I lived abroad and saw people pressured to eat meat and drink alcohol. I refused. I returned to India and saw our own people abandoning prayer and adopting harmful diets. Foreign influences and demonic forces are rising. Many no longer know devotion. India is the land of God, with advanced spiritual practice, yet we are losing our way. Eating meat and eggs is against the principle of non-harm to animals. Our government has enforced harmful policies. We must care for our children and teach them true dharma. Start each day by honoring the earth as mother and connecting with sacred water. We must revive our practices and protect our culture from erosion. "Now we don’t know what is happening. We have started eating all kinds of food." "If religion says that no one should kill or harm any animal, then we have a lot of them." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The Essence of Yoga in Daily Life

Yoga in daily life is the integration of spiritual discipline into every action. You must know your purpose. I taught yoga abroad and required a commitment to vegetarianism, refusing to teach those who ate meat. In India, some who never ate meat now do. Upon waking, affirm "I am a human being." Water is divine; a few drops remind you it is within all. Apply it like an injection to feel Jagadīś in your body. Do not let animals into sleeping rooms, though a cat or goat is good. Protect animals and India. Sanātana Dharma exists only in India. Many Indians abroad worship and have left meat. Practice yoga daily. Protect animals, protect India. Do not let animals into the house. The alternative to mobile confusion is to say Om when using the telephone. "Water is Jagadīś. Jagadīś, Sarveś, Jagadīś, Bhagavān." "The alternative is to say Oṃ. Say Om whenever you pick up the telephone." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Follow the words of the Guru continuously

The essence of spiritual practice is following the Guru's word and living in truthful community. Following Guru Vākya without questioning brings grace and progress. Observing the community reveals a lack of unity and disciplined practice; individuals scatter to personal desires instead of walking a straight path together. True yoga in daily life requires this collective discipline, seen in dedicated practitioners worldwide. The Guru's position is paramount, even before divine figures, and one must commit to a single Satguru. A story illustrates the folly of valuing material offerings like gold over the Guru's presence. Husband and wife should work as one unified being, though marriage is a temporary arrangement distinct from spiritual love. Satsaṅg means gathering in truth. The community must now apply this through collective physical work in the garden, performing assigned tasks without question or complaint. "By following his Vakya, we receive Guru Kṛpā." "Satguru. And when you take one Satguru, then you should not take a second Satguru." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The divine names invoke presence and remembrance. Chanting connects the seeker to the sacred essence. These names are not mere words but vessels of consciousness. Repetition purifies the mind and aligns it with truth. The practice is an offering and a call for grace. It awakens the heart from spiritual slumber. Devotion through sound becomes a direct path to realization. "Satguru merā sāyī, majāl ke pāṇḍ se kāryo ham ko pā." "Chūṭ bhajan mein lāg, jāg re jāg." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

A Day's Extension in Jadan

A day's extension in Jadan reveals the integrated spiritual life of the ashram. The ashram provides deep peace, making inward focus effortless. Spiritual practice remains the priority here, distinct from the external wedding season. The place is imbued with the presence of the Guru, which can intensify inner reflection. The system of Yoga in Daily Life fosters a constant spiritual connection. Practice here has two pillars: karma yoga and bhajan. Karma yoga is selfless action, work done without desire for gain, leading to surrender. Bhajan encompasses devotional singing, mantra repetition, and scripture study. Together, they purify the mind of passions like desire and anger. Mere physical work without spirituality makes one just a laborer; mere spiritual knowledge without worldly engagement is also insufficient. The path requires balancing physical and spiritual knowledge through selfless work and devotional practice. Satsang, or good company, is essential, as it shapes one's future. This integrated life is possible only through the Guru's grace. "Karma yoga is something which you do selflessly from inside. There is no, 'I will gain this and that.'" "If you follow only physical knowledge, you will end in the darkness, but if you follow only spiritual knowledge, you will end in even worse darkness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Eternal Dharma and the Tale of the Priest and the Dog

The eternal truth of Sanatana Dharma is universal and transcends all boundaries. This Dharma is the original and complete foundation. It comes through the Guru, who is of many types, including mother and father. All people, regardless of origin or language, inherently live with an understanding of God. When traveling, one sees that this understanding persists everywhere. The land itself holds ancient evidence of this truth, like sacred names found deep within the earth. Geographical formations and human history are part of a vast, interconnected whole. The essence of being, called Hindu or Indian, signifies this deep, ancient connection to the eternal Dharma. All beings are part of this divine order, and one's actions towards them carry profound consequences. "Whatever is there, it is for the Guru." "If you hit this animal... it will go and make it a little better and put it in hell." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Bhajans from Jadan Ashram

The grace of Śrī Deveśvara Śiva bestows happiness, prosperity, and the removal of all obstacles. Whoever gains the darśana of Īśa has sins and sufferings removed. Worship removes diseases and faults. Fixing meditation upon this light prevents obstacles and troubles. The one who honors devotees fills their treasuries. Applying oneself to the worship of this light attains everything without asking. Those who know this attain the abode of accomplishment. "Whoever has the darśana of Īśa, all their sins and sufferings are removed." "Whoever applies themselves to the worship of this light, they attain everything without even asking." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Foundation of Family and Dharma

The foundation of dharma is the family, beginning with reverence for mother and father. Fulfilling this duty is the path to God. Children must emulate their parents, continuing the lineage through righteous marriage. To abandon this unity, to allow children to fall into vice, is to forsake our humanity. Even animals demonstrate loyalty, perishing when separated from their kin. If humans fail in this basic duty, they fall short of that natural standard. Upholding the family is the essence of being human. "From the first time and at the end, first comes mother and father." "If we humans cannot be there for our children, mothers and fathers, then it is great, very good."

How did Vishwaguruji get the vision of Alakhpuriji?

A pilgrimage reveals the divine light within, awakened through sacred places and grace. For ages, the inner power has slumbered. A journey was made to the Himalayas seeking peace. A prohibition against fire was given at a holy site, requiring sustenance from nuts. In that austere place, light was witnessed emanating from the stones and water. The Alaknanda River flows from there, carrying holiness. This experience shows the Śakti, or power, is always present and can be felt. That power enters into anyone who approaches with reverence. "Awake and create Śakti within us. Satguru, Kindle my heart’s flame with Thine." "From there it comes, the river, and this river is what is now... Alaknanda, and this Alaknanda is coming from there."

Glory to the land of India

India is a divine tapestry woven from spiritual essence. A beautiful bhajan celebrates its sacred nature, describing the entire land as blessed and godly. The nation is seen as the source and confluence of great rivers, teachings, and incarnations. Spiritual masters have walked its length, imparting wisdom that resonates through time. Their presence and work are considered impossible yet ever-present. The spiritual current flows from heart to heart, not from books or forced effort. Disciples receive guidance through direct experience and inner calling, often tested by the guru's assignments. The seeker's journey involves surrender and persistent inner work, not mere physical following. The ultimate truth is found within, likened to a precious stone amidst many ordinary ones. "Dhanya means godly, everything with God and everywhere, and especially in India, the whole of India." "He said, 'I know I will not stay anywhere.'" Filming location: Vienna, Austria

We can reach God through Satsang

Prasāda is the sacred gift from God, representing the highest meditation and harmony. It is not about quantity; even a small amount is profound. All water flowing from the Himalayas is this divine offering. In receiving it, one recognizes the fundamental oneness: all beings are interconnected as one in all and all in one. This unity is our true nature, yet the mind creates separation, judging some things as good or not good. The human journey, from birth to death, appears significant, but in the end, everything dissolves. The ocean metaphor reveals the truth: individual drops emerge from and return to the vast ocean, illustrating non-duality. Our essence is that purity. Satsaṅg is the gathering for truth, where one aligns with Sat, the reality beyond all division. "Prasāda is the greatest; it is like God to God." "One in all and all in one, so neither you, neither me, neither others."

The most Important thing being in Unity

The call is to spiritual unity and single-pointed devotion. This tradition originates from a timeless source where meditation and mantra began. That knowledge has now spread everywhere. All traditions speak of the same essential truth. The crucial point is to become one with the One, not to wander aimlessly. Such wandering is negative, meaning a descent of consciousness. In this age, many are falling and going astray, creating problems. Yet, the essence of this holy time is the Divine Mother principle. "Everybody understands everything, but the point is this: you must become one in the One." "The mother is that Mother... But the heart of it is the mother." Filming location: Villach, Austria

Bhajan - Dhyan Karo

The path of devotion and surrender to the divine will. The spiritual journey is one of complete surrender, not of personal effort or intellectual understanding. The mind, with its doubts and questions, is the primary obstacle. It creates a sense of separation and asks for proof where only faith can enter. True devotion means offering everything—mind, intellect, and ego—at the feet of the Guru and the divine. This surrender dissolves the individual self into the universal consciousness. It is not a path of gaining something but of losing the illusion of being a separate doer. Peace and realization come when one stops questioning and simply surrenders. "Surrender your mind. Surrender your intellect. Surrender your ego." "Don't ask for proof. Have faith."

Mantra is with you for your whole life

Two paths define human life: the worldly path of material progress and the spiritual path of conscious living. The worldly path, like that of medicine, is good but ultimately leads to an end without deeper life or meditation. The spiritual path is everything; it is our daily actions, thoughts, and relationships. We must think of our children and family unity, not separation. A story illustrates this: a couple, from their school days through fifty years of marriage, harbored a silent grievance over who received the soft part of the bread, never communicating their true feelings. This shows how small, unspoken things can define a life. The spiritual solution is a personal mantra, given now, which will stay with you forever. This path requires discipline: no meat, essentially no alcohol. Life is a choice. One who lives spiritually ascends; one who lives otherwise, consuming other creatures, goes back. These are the two things. "Spiritual human life is everything." "One will go up, and the other will go again, go back." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

You are free to choose good or bad

The human body is an instrument for divine expression. This instrument is made of material elements, yet something unbelievable resides within it. The source of its sound and action is not the form itself. One must inquire into who made this instrument and what its true purpose is. A story illustrates this: a tiger raised among sheep believes itself to be a sheep until shown its reflection. It must recognize its own nature. Similarly, humans often forget their true essence, acting contrary to it. The words and actions produced by this instrument carry power, creating positive or negative effects in the world. The sound of a holy name emerges from within, yet when the instrument is still, there is nothing. The core task is to look within the mind and heart to understand what we truly are. "Look in the water... Look at your face. You are my tiger, and you are also a tiger." "The instrument is not here, and we are not doing it, so it is nothing."

Feel the inner peace

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Relaxation in a sitting position and meditation. Relaxation in lying position. Practicing Bari Khatu Pranam.

We should become white

I have returned from a vast and spiritually significant journey. India, a great and unique land, is our origin. Our roots there are strong, across generations. I contemplate the entire world from here. You are all my spiritual family—brothers, sisters, and disciples. Our unity and practice must continue. We received news of a passing here, and we send blessings. Our collective focus must remain on spiritual purity. We must move away from negative influences, symbolized by black, and toward purity, symbolized by white. We must uphold our principles, like vegetarianism, and revive our eternal spiritual path. Our hearts should be beautiful and white. We will continue together, going within. "Let us work, and we will do it. We should not make so much black cloth, no, no, the cloth, black cloth." "The heart should be, and that heart is very beautiful and white. That is like that. So let us continue." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The wisdom of the bhajans

The essence of a bhajan is understood by learning the meaning of each word. Singing is beautiful, but true value comes from comprehension. The bhajan describes the Guru bestowing the herb of immortality, filling the devotee's being. This gift brings supreme happiness and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. It is a great fortune to meet the Guru, for without this grace one is lost. The devotee is freed from attachments and becomes realized. One should always remain at the Satguru's luminous feet. "Gurujī Merā, my Gurū Dev. He gave me the Amara, which means the immortality." "I was delivered from the wheel of birth and death." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Humans are very good and not good at the same time

Satsaṅg is the essence of true connection with the eternal. Sat is the supreme reality, and saṅg is the gathering. This union is profoundly pure. Recognize the self upon awakening: "I am." This is the foundation. All life is one, from humans to the smallest creature. The distinction is illusory. Human life is brief, ending in death for all beings. A story illustrates this: a man denying God clings to a cliff in peril. Only in desperation does he call for divine help, revealing that understanding often comes through direct experience. Human nature contains both good and great violence, which contradicts our spiritual essence. Singing sacred names in bhajan holds great knowledge. The unity of all life should guide action away from harm. "Sat is Paramātmā. Sat-saṅg: we are all together." "Life is one. They don’t understand, but we know, humans, we know." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

We are one in the Satsang

Satsaṅg is the essence of true, continuous connection. It is not a transient encounter but a deep, familial bond. The ideal is a state of oneness, rooted in truth and expressed through selfless care. This unity is found within and among all. Superficial meetings are insufficient; genuine satsaṅg requires a heart free from negativity and judgment. Seeing fault in another signifies one's own loss. The bond is like that of a mother, offering pure, unconditional love. This love reflects the ultimate truth that unites everyone. "Sat means truth. When the truth is there, then you and I and they and all, we are only one." "If you see someone as 'not good,' then you have lost." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The drop returns to the ocean

Brahmari is a profound practice for the soul and the entire brain. Practice it gently without pressure, for just a few minutes, ensuring it goes deep. Doing it for too long, like twenty minutes, is not good. The correct placement is a little up, not on the nest. Consistency is key, as many people start but then stop. Even I have missed practice during travels, but I begin again. This practice is a great gift. Our human life is precious, yet transient like all creatures. At death, everything is released; nothing is for us. Purity ascends, while other qualities descend. Reality is within you. "Never, never pressure. If you have always felt a hurting like this, then it's not good for you." "What is done? Diet means gone. And when gone, quickly, they don't want to be in the body." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Śiva Mahimnaḥ Stotram and Bhajans to Mahādeva

Proper disposal of prasad wrappers is taught. Prasad is given. The plastic wrapper remains. The wrapper must not be thrown aside. Keep the wrapper in the pocket. Discard it later in a trash can. Devotees in Europe know this well. They receive the chocolate and hold the wrapper. Some devotees simply throw it aside. Litter is created. Mindfulness is essential. Do not let the wrapper fall to the ground. Cleanliness must be maintained. The offering is sacred. Respect the surroundings. Discard waste responsibly. This is part of spiritual discipline. "Please keep the remaining prasād’s plastic wrapper in your pocket and put it later into a trash can." "But some of our devotees are simply throwing it aside, so please be mindful."

Satsaṅg on the Occasion of Dādā Gurujī’s Puṇyatithi: Reflections on Human Life, Grace, and the Guru

Human life is rare and transient, yet only through true knowledge gained at the Sadguru’s feet does it become fruitful. Childhood, youth, old age, and death hang over everyone. One who receives Brahm Vidyā from the great ones makes life worthwhile. Human nature habitually sees flaws in others rather than rising by self-effort. A man found fault with the koel, moon, sea, and rose, but they retorted that he would be perfect if he stopped seeing shortcomings. Such bad qualities must be placed at the Guru’s feet for removal. The birth of such great beings in this land is a fortune. Nothing purifies the soul like jñāna, found in the Sadguru. Mantras are transmitted through bhajan, like Om̐ Namo Śrī Prabhudīpa Nārāyaṇam and Śrī Dīpanirañjana Śabadukha Bhañjana. The Guru is one, like a mother; take initiation from one and chant that mantra. Four graces are necessary: Deva Kṛpā for human birth, Śāstra Kṛpā for scriptural knowledge, Guru Kṛpā which can alter destiny, and Khud Kī Kṛpā, the inner urge to seek the Guru. The Guru’s grace descends only when the disciple approaches with selfless love, not greed. Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśa create and destroy, but only the Satguru can grant mokṣa. Without shelter of the Guru, life remains incomplete. The Guru can change what the Vedas have written. To recognize the Guru is difficult, yet connection to this ancient paramparā is a great blessing. “In this world, there is nothing as purifying for the jīvātmā as jñāna, and that jñāna is found in these great beings, in the Sadguru.” “Guru Kṛpā hi Kevalam, śiṣya ke Ānanda Maṅgalam.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Holy Gurujis Mahasamadhi Celebration (1/3)

A humble entreaty for spiritual grace and communal responsibility. The devotee bows to the Guru, the assembly, and the source of wisdom. A plea is made for the gifts of knowledge and devotion, seeking the compassionate gaze of the divine to bestow bliss. The holy company of saints is the sustenance for the mind, with the primordial Guru acknowledged as the first authority. There is a concurrent, practical request to the community: due to limited supplies, those using multiple bedding sets should manage with one, so all devotees may be accommodated. The self is offered entirely—body, mind, and wealth—to the Guru, who is the sole means to cross the ocean of worldly existence. "Jñāna bhakti mohī dījīye, Mā pitā jagadīś." "Tan man dhan he tharo, chaye shishra ke lo." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Phulpuriji becomes Mahamandaleshwar

The teaching concerns the spiritual legacy of Ādiśvara and the Daśanāmī Akhāṛā. Ādiśvara’s responsibility is to purify through Karma. Kailash Purījī performed penance and brought Śaṅkara’s influence to Rajasthan. The one who overcomes sorrow attains nirvāṇa. Kapila destroyed Sagara’s sixty thousand sons to protect dharma. The Darśanāmī Akhāṛā provided standing for the tradition in Kāśī and Mathurā. Without it, the community would have been crushed. The Śaṅkarī tradition upholds Varṇāśrama, with Śaṅkarācārya as protector. Devotion belongs to the organization, not to a bad reputation. Sanātana Dharma is the great tree; other sects are branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits. The Aumkār Mandir is established as a spiritual center. Saints carry hidden problems like thorns behind a rose, yet they smile. The Guru’s mantra is Nāda, awakening the disciple. The legacy continues through teacher and disciple. Kapila’s third eye annihilated those who insulted him. The Akhāṛā’s strength comes from the great deeds of its Mahant. Rajasthan remains a land of Śakti and Bhakti under divine protection. "The one who overcomes sorrow attains nirvāṇa." "Sanātana Dharma is a great protection, and all other sects of Dharma are its branches, leaves, flowers, fruits."

The Unity of Humanity

We are all one human family despite different lands and languages. India is a large and ancient land. People have moved across the world from places like India and Europe to countries such as Australia. All these places are connected. People may look different or speak various languages, but we share the same human form. Historical conflicts, like killings in Australia, occurred when people failed to see this unity. Governments and the United Nations speak of countries for all people. When we meet, we see others who dress like us and work hard, yet we sometimes claim a country as only our own. In truth, we are guests everywhere. When we die, it does not matter what country or religion we had. A dog, a cow, a buffalo—all die. Then, who remains? Therefore, we must love all persons regardless of color or origin. All faiths—Christian, Muslim, Yogi, Hindu—are good. We are human with good thinking, but in the end, we all return to the same nothingness. We are together as friends and brothers. "we should love all persons, little or the height, or this black or gourd or... Something, but we are human, and this is a human." "When we will die, and die much, but then we don’t know... There is nothing. There’s nothing." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Divali Festival

The light of divine grace illuminates the eternal truth. This celebration originates from the divine presence of Śiva, Viṣṇu, and Brahmā. God's grace manifested, allowing people to walk a new path at night, bringing the light of spiritual practice. Over time, people forgot this divine presence amidst worldly affairs. The observance involves gathering, where children are seated and it is said that God will come. The principle extends to all, as seen in the relationship between Kṛṣṇa and Rukmiṇī, which signifies a divine belonging for all devotees. The essence is the eternal, accessible truth. "When everyone comes, the children sit down... they say, 'Yes, you do one thing: sit in your house, sit there, so that God will come.'" "Rukmiṇī belongs to Kṛṣṇa. And that of Kṛṣṇa is Rukmiṇī. And Rukmiṇī belongs to all of us." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

We should have a flame

The pre-dawn hour and the nature of the flame reveal spiritual discipline and interconnected life. One hour before sunrise is the auspicious Brahmamuhūrta; those awake then become very spiritual. A disciple once slept through it, yet the Guru was patient. Another disciple, initially uneducated, through great hardship and the Guru's instruction, eventually excelled in learning and Sanskrit. The relationship between guru and disciple is foundational. All beings are like individual flames. Each flame depends on oil, yet flames can ignite one another, showing our fundamental unity. We are all connected like these lamps. The Earth is our mother, sustaining countless life forms. One must tread carefully, as taught in the story of Buddha, who moved slowly to avoid harming any creature. Modern disregard for this, through widespread animal killing and consumption, marks a departure from a more harmonious past. The goal is to become the clear, self-sustaining flame of awareness, recognizing our oneness with all. "Those who are awake and active during Brahmamuhūrta become very spiritual; everything comes to them." "We are all a lamp. As long as there is oil, the flame will come." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

We are only one

The mantra of oneness and the practice of alertness are essential. When gathered in a hall, individuals become one collective body, sharing and exchanging energy. This unity strengthens all. Daily yoga practice sustains this connection. One must be alert and engaged, not silent and passive. Verbal response demonstrates understanding and participation. This collective giving and receiving of energy is the core of spiritual practice. It transcends individual conditions and continues across lifetimes. "One in all and all in one." "We should be alert, alert, and that alert in which way?" Filming locations: Badīkhāṭū, Rajasthan, India.

A Meditation Instruction

A meditation instruction on posture and focus. Place your right hand over the heart and left hand over the navel, resting lightly. Keep both legs straight. Inhale and exhale normally. The eyes are open, but awareness is directed inward toward the heart. Do not let concentration waver. We perform a small, nameless devotional song that is meditation-like. The practice is simply to be present with this focus. "Eyes are open, our awareness is on our chest." "Do not let your concentration waver, everyone."

Find God within

Returning to nature is the path to health and spiritual fulfillment. In the past, people used natural powders like neem and burnt tree bark, and teeth remained strong. Modern brushing destroys teeth. Women’s breath and blood problems are remedied by babool powder within two days. Nature provides everything without cost. Leaving nature causes rapid decline; moving from India to Europe ruined teeth in two years. A professor’s family in Vienna sought yoga. The woman brought her cat for protection during practice. They later helped manifest Om Ashram. The aim was to create something nowhere and anywhere. Disciples gave devotion and funds; no money was taken from India. The ashram took shape over years. One worker delayed completion, so it may take a century. Yet the manifestation continues. Today, new singers arrived unexpectedly and received mantras. Life is not just life; one must go beyond the body to the inner self that is God. Therefore, returning to nature is imperative. "So nature is in nature." "I want to have that which is nowhere and anywhere." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

Bhajans from Rijeka

The text is an invocation honoring a spiritual lineage. It consists of repeated salutations to divine beings and gurus within a tradition. The variations in names and titles are stylistic honorifics, not contradictions. The purpose is devotional praise, not logical exposition. There is no narrative or argument to analyze for inconsistencies. "Oṁ Bole Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagvānī, Kī Jai." "Śrī Alakhpurījī, Śrī Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā, Kī Jai."

We have to be in unity

The practice of yoga fosters unity and personal discipline. Many faced hardship during recent global challenges, yet continued their spiritual practice at home. Observing practitioners worldwide reveals a growing alignment with compassionate living, such as veganism, which reflects yogic principles. True progress requires sustained commitment over years, not mere occasional effort. The core aim is to transcend perceived separation and realize our fundamental oneness. This unity is the essence of the teaching, moving beyond individual differences in diet, practice, or origin. Personal anecdotes about travel and health underscore the shared human journey. The ultimate goal is to harmonize the inner self with all beings. "Be careful here, and work this when the last time will be." "We have to become one. One in all and all in one."

The Eternal Tradition and the Divine Consort

The eternal tradition is the source of all sacred days. Others, like Christians and Muslims, have their holy days, but all this came from India. We see from Bhagavān Śiva, then Viṣṇu, then Rām, then Kṛṣṇa. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa is great, and with him was his wife, Rukmiṇī. This is not about years; it is about devotion. Rādhā was his devotion. Now, we should all say Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa and Rukmiṇī. They are the same, and others are there with them. But Rādhājī knows he is Rādhā, and he is not equal. Those who do not know, we will explain in satsaṅg. We must bring Rukmiṇī back as the mother and keep her with us. "Others, like the Christians, are very late in comparison. They see everything exactly, but they tell it with another name." "But Rādhājī knows that he is Rādhā, so he is Rādhā. He is not equal, that’s why." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Longing for God

The core of spiritual life is compassionate practice rooted in the heart. The body is the vehicle for practice and must be cared for with healthy living. True yoga is a daily commitment, not a sporadic ritual. Many claim spirituality but fail in consistent practice. The essence is to see all beings within one's own heart, extending compassion to every creature. Do not harm animals; recognize the sanctity of life. Spiritual attainment requires unwavering devotion and surrender, as tested in parables of faith. Do not give up the quest to see the divine reality within all. Holy beings demonstrate the power of such devotion through extreme austerity and selfless love. "Today we should say in our heart, for all people, all creatures, we feel them all in our heart." "Humans are not animals. And therefore, we should know that we are humans, and as humans, we should not be killing."

How do we practice Bhramari?

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

Bhajan evening from Vep

The text is a devotional invocation honoring a spiritual lineage. It begins with salutations to divine and guru figures, repeating their names with honorifics. The structure is intentionally repetitive for meditative chanting. The sequence remains consistent, focusing on the transmission of grace. Minor phonetic variations in transcription do not alter the core intent. The repetition is a feature of the practice, not an error. The invocation establishes a sacred connection through sound and remembrance. "Oṁ Śrī Alakhpurīśa Mahādevam, Śrī Śrīdeveśvara Mahādevam." "Viśvagurujī Paramahaṁsa Maheśvarānanda Yogirāja."
