Concentration is the path towards God

The mala is a path to inner concentration and oneness. Sit comfortably and hold the mala near your chest. Closing the eyes is difficult as the mind scatters externally. True concentration, sustained within, is the path to God. The mala's beads move on a single thread, converging into one point like all beings returning to a center. This practice is Sumaraṇ, the Guru, the Paramātmā. Focus awareness within the body, at the heart or chakras, not on external things. All aspects of self become one beat, the whole universe. The outer world is Māyā; we have lost inner practice. In sleep, we find silence and a search for self. To find peace, bring yourself within. Each bead is a guru, but the true guru is within thyself. "If we can control our concentration, we have definitely found the path to God." "When we close our eyes, we are one—one in all, and all in one."

Feel the divine sounds of bhajans in your heart

Satya Sanātana Dharma reveals the truth uniting all within and without. Satsaṅg is gathering in truth: Sat is truth, Saṅg is togetherness first within oneself. Every spoken word, thought, and feeling contains Sat. When one person embodies truth, it returns multiplied and fills all. In deep sleep, truth emerges and one travels far in dreams. Upon waking, dream experiences vanish, revealing their unreality. Desires fulfilled in dreams are not waking truth, as shown by the ice cream story. A blind sādhu recites all holy books by heart, having inner sight. Bhajans arise from within, permeating body, energy, and sound. During a singer's pause, the bhajan's vibration is fully absorbed. Listeners must cultivate deep, silent listening. A single negative word can shatter the state of Satguru and bhajan. Impurities must be continually cleansed. The voice in bhajan, in any language, comes from the inner self. Opera singers feel the voice resounding in the whole body, uniting instrument and self. Satguru is the truth and the teacher as one. Satya Sanātana is the eternal truth, bringing inner and outer balance. "In every word we speak, even in our thoughts and feelings, there is Sat, truth." "Even with eyes closed, when you are singing, you too will sing with closed eyes... we have to clean away the impurities." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Purify yourself inside and out

The Satguru Chalīsā offers pure words that purify the heart and world. These verses cleanse impurities from thought, word, and deed. Purification is a simple, universal process. Physical cleansing practices, like nasal irrigation with neti in the morning, protect the lungs from disease. Similarly, traditional methods for cleaning teeth can maintain strength. Impurities are not only physical; negative words and mental tensions inhaled from the environment become diseases in the body. Yoga addresses both physical and mental impurities, promoting health for all beings. The practice of yoga, observed in the natural postures of creatures, is the ultimate purifier. "All that we are, all that we have, all that we are doing is purification." "Yoga is the greatest of the greatest."

You are like bees

The eternal essence, the Ātmā, is the singular sweetness within all existence. The divine flow of grace manifests through many forms, yet the source is one. Just as a single father and mother give rise to many children, the one truth expresses itself through many gurus and disciples across generations. The physical body is temporary, composed of five elements that return to nature, but the ātmā is eternal. This essence is like a single drop that contains the potential of the entire ocean. Every being—humans, animals, trees—possesses this same divine sweetness within. Therefore, one must cultivate purity in every aspect of being and never harbor negativity or harm toward others. The practice of devotion, like the collective work of bees producing honey, allows this inner sweetness to flow forth and unite all. "Otherwise, there is only one Guru, or one God, and then God will not be all Gurus, everybody." "This is not a body, but ātmā, and this is like one drop, and this drop is not like a neat drop. This one drop can make immense water again." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Purity is important in every level

Knowledge is a seed within, requiring daily cultivation through sacred texts and pure living. Sacred texts like the Śiva Purāṇa and Bhagavad Gītā contain immense knowledge. A small daily reading plants this seed within, which grows into understanding. This knowledge reveals our inherent unity and divinity. True practice extends beyond study into daily life. Physical cleanliness reflects inner purity. A harmonious home, where all share in cleaning and care, embodies spiritual principles. This purity is the essential Śakti, or divine energy. All beings, from ants to humans, demonstrate natural order and care. Our human duty is to live with this conscious purity in every action, seeing the divine in all. "Just one seed, a little seed. The seed is so little, and it comes little, one plot, and that comes more, big, big trees." "Clean means thinking. Thinking good for this person, they are good."

The Living God Within: Teachings on Life, Devotion, and Self-Care

The living God is within all beings, recognized through yoga, devotion, and self-care. Yoga's spread across Europe brings divine presence through Alakhpurījī and Mahāprabhujī. Seeing Alakhpurījī unifies the seer with him. God is a living reality, not merely a historical name. The living God permeates the five elements; if one ceases, life ends. God enters human form through birth. Śiva and Śakti symbolize the male-female unity in each person. All life, from birds to trees, contains divinity. Dharma means non-violence; Jainas avoid harming any creature, walking barefoot. Prayer connects to the divine and gurus through morning-evening devotion. Physical care, like consuming calcium, sustains the body for spiritual life. Life exists everywhere, in earth, ocean, and air. Humans must know the living God directly. Devotion transcends specific names, embracing all divine forms. Self-care preserves the body as a vessel for the living God. Non-violence extends to all living beings in daily acts. Spiritual practice includes prayer for all gurus, not one. "But the difference is that we have to know the living God. And when we see the living God, then you will know my God, the living God." "Life is everywhere. And all we can have doesn’t matter on the earth, in the ocean, in the air, etc. Life, life is the life." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Relaxation and Bari Khatu Pranam

The practice is to realize oneself as the bliss of Ānanda. Begin by lying down and relaxing the entire body completely. Systematically feel and release each part, from the toes to the head. This state of deep relaxation and awareness is Ānanda Āsana. In this posture, one feels peaceful, joyful, and free from pain. Recognize that every cell of the body is in a state of bliss. This Ānanda is not temporary joy but your true nature as part of the divine. Carry this awareness into all activities—walking, sitting, or being with others. You are that blissful essence, like a star of light within. Conclude by slowly stretching and sitting up, maintaining the feeling of Ānanda. "Feel your whole body from the toes to the top of the head, and from the top of the head to the toes." "Each and every cell in your body is in ānanda." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The sounds of the bhajans are the light of God

This is a call to inner awakening and universal peace. The present time demands alertness. Recent years brought negative air and events, mostly caused by humans. Humans must help each other return to a healthy, happy life. Some abandoned religion and meditation, thinking we are beyond. Humans advanced immensely in science. Sometimes they went too far in thoughts, maya, spirituality. Spiritual beings are also advanced. Some do not learn further, and it remains a picture on the wall. God exists, described in human terms. Gods’ energy is within body and soul. The body is important, nearly a god. Worship the body, inner self, brothers, sisters. Take care of all animals and forests. Look inside and hold onto what is good. People speak negatively without self-reflection; wars emerge. This is wrongness in Kali Yuga; bring humility, no war, throw weapons, offer bread and salt. Bhajans are divine light. “We should worship our body, our inner self, our brothers, our sisters. And we should take care of all animals, forests, and so on.” “Throw away the weapons of war and bring fruits, bring some food. Let us come again with everyone’s bread and salt.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Practising led by Vishwaguruji

A guided practice integrates physical postures with meditation focused on the navel center, or nābhi. Begin with physical stretches to prepare the body and mind. Raise the hands and legs, coordinating movement with breath. A teacher may demonstrate the sequence for clarity. The postures aim to create relaxation and bodily awareness. This prepares one for seated meditation. The core practice involves focusing energy at the nābhi. From this point, awareness travels upward through the chakras to the crown and then descends. This cycle completes at the navel, unifying the energy flow. The technique is a complete cycle from the navel and back. "It is going completely for us like cycling, all from our nābhi to go up to the sahasrāra, going back to the mūlādhāra, and this, and coming back." "The whole circle comes to one point, and that point is the nābhi."

How shall we go further?

The teaching reveals the path to unity and the soul’s divine joy. All humans are brothers and sisters, beyond religion, country, or language. The body is temporary; at death, it returns to dust. Money, thoughts, feelings—none accompany the soul. The soul, the ātmā, is one essence. According to actions, the soul moves to higher or lower realms. Ultimately, the soul merges with the Supreme, like a water drop returning to the ocean. That drop is tiny, yet identical in essence to the vast ocean. So one should be humble, loving, and free from anger. The true yogi knows this unity. When the heart center opens and consciousness rises to the crown, dualism ends. Stone and diamond hold equal value. Hunger and thirst bring no sorrow. Such a yogi stands firm like a mountain, unshaken by storm or rain. Inside, the ego is dead, yet the yogi lives in divine bliss. There is no emptiness; the sun of awareness rises. This is the condition of the saints. “Even a little drop of water, very fine, but that and the ocean are the same. Sooner or later, this drop will become one with the ocean.” “This yogi is living, but inside he is dead. In this emptiness, the sun was rising.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Practicing with Vishwaguruji

The practice of Sarvahitā Āsana and relaxation brings health and peace. Lie on your back and relax your whole body. Bring relaxation to each part of the head. Raise your head slightly, then place your hands above your head and stretch your toes. Bring your hands back to your sides and stretch your entire body peacefully. Rest with your back fully on the floor, hands out to the sides, legs straight. Turn your head to one side and your knees to the other; this is Sarvahitā Āsana. Breathe normally. These twists massage the stomach, benefiting digestion and relieving gas. For women expecting children, practice brings a peaceful delivery without pain. Bring your knees to your chest and hold them. Turn slowly from side to side, feeling the comfortable stretch. Roll from side to side, then sit up. Lie on your stomach for Ānanda Āsana, the bliss pose, and relax. Deepen your breath, inhaling and exhaling fully. Sit for meditation with eyes closed, using your mālā and guru mantra, feeling yourself in humility and calm. "The child will come very well, peacefully, and there will be no pain in delivering the child from the body." "Feel thyself. Try to understand. Feel. Relax. Spiritually, everything."

Memories of our Masters take us to the cosmic light

The sacred treasures of the Guru lineage are physical objects imbued with divine presence and grace. These items connect the disciple to the Guru and the cosmic reality. A mala bead was preserved from the Guru's samadhi. A bowl used for eating carries the Guru's touch and energy. A water vessel contains sacred water from India's rivers. Pure sand from where the Guru walked is a supreme treasure carried by the disciple. The Guru's shoes, a walking stick from his family, and his shawl were received through devotion. A bed was gifted by a family in America and restored. These objects are not mere items; they are conduits of spiritual energy and remembrance. To see or touch them invites the cosmic light. These treasures are given to all disciples for their altar and meditation. "Now I give you my treasure, my everything, the whole, in the whole universe." "Keep this in your mind, in your heart... this memory will take us to the cosmic light."

Bhajans help us to find our path

The master is the guiding principle within all existence. This guidance begins with parents and extends through teachers and saints, leading the soul toward knowledge. A separate, internal master exists from the womb, directing each unique life's path. Humans are granted superior capacity but often choose negativity, forgetting their divine origin. This forgetfulness leads to conflict and suffering, a descent away from the cosmic Self. The corrective path is humility, kindness, and non-violence, aligning with divine will. Spiritual practice, like bhajan, unites the heart in worship and harmony. One must nurture goodness within, like tending a cow for milk, and avoid spoiling it with the negativity of ego and conflict. "O human, do not kill, do not do bad things. If you love me as God, I will receive you to God." "Do not put lemon in your milk. What will make it not good? So if you think, 'I am,' and then you put something onto others, then you have spoiled everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Concentration on Alakh Puriji

A meditation on becoming one with the divine energy within and without the body. Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Concentrate on your whole body, from head to legs and back. Focus on each part. Today, concentrate on Alak Purījī. Become your being completely thyself, for Alak Purījī is within and without. Be within this energy completely. Relax every part of your body, but remain present within it. In each part, you can feel prāṇa, power, divine light, and Alak Purījī. All is Alak Purījī’s energy. Expand thyself, but only as Alak Purījī. Do not open your eyes, for that means you have lost yourself. Becoming one is not easy, but the practice is given to continue for many years. Conclude by chanting five times in the whole body, rubbing the palms, placing them on the face, and then opening the eyes. "In and out, all is Alak Purījī’s energy." "Be thyself, no colors, no anything, Alak Purījīs." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We are on the path of Alakh Puriji

The practice of yoga and light sustains us on the spiritual path. I traveled extensively during a clear period, witnessing the strength of practitioners who remained healthy despite widespread illness. The specific practice of Brahmari Prāṇāyāma has been crucial for health. I taught its techniques, which involve balancing vibration between the brain's hemispheres and directing it to the center of the head. This practice is powerful but must be learned precisely for at least one year before teaching others, performed only five times per session. Our path is one of many, all leading to the same goal, connected through the navel as a source. We must continue our daily sādhanā. Furthermore, we should observe prayers at sunrise and sunset, aligning with the light's cycle as illustrated by the story of a man seeing a temple light at dusk. "Many, many people who practiced exactly what I told you—this Brahmari Prāṇāyāma—were very healthy and good." "At least one year you should learn this exactly, and then give it further. Otherwise, you will make others, maybe not good, it will be in the body." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Celebration of the anniversary of the Indian Republic Day

Yoga in Daily Life integrates physical, mental, and spiritual practices for holistic health. The body, breath, and mind harmonize through dynamic sequences like Bārikāṭu Praṇām. This exercise continuously alternates between spinal activation and relaxation. Vajrāsana establishes natural spinal alignment. Inhalation reduces thoracic kyphosis and strengthens interscapular muscles. Śaśāṅkāsana directs breath into the lumbar spine, deeply relaxing it. Such movements increase spinal flexibility and concentration. The practice is infused with devotion to the spiritual lineage. A vegetarian diet is shown to reduce disease severity. Asanas are conscious movements connected with breath, training the brain. Pranayama improves heart-lung function, oxygenation, and memory. Nasal breathing with awareness enhances mindfulness and memory encoding. Meditation reduces stress and depression, boosting immunity. Self-inquiry meditation alleviates depressive symptoms. Scientific studies show that high spiritual well-being slows brain atrophy. This protection occurs in regions responsible for self-awareness, empathy, and memory. Brahmari effectively reduces anxiety and improves concentration. "What is happening now is a test for us, in a way. It’s a test of our discipline and a test of our humbleness for humankind."

Practising yoga strengthens the immune system

Yoga practice supports health and has spread globally. The community largely remained well, though some with prior conditions needed care. Illness returned partly due to neglecting precautions. Many worldwide adopt yoga and renounce harmful habits. Practice in India exists but depth varies, with strong centers and broader adoption abroad. The Indian government now promotes yoga widely.

Full moon Satsang with Vishwaguruji

Yoga Nidrā is the awakened sleep of the yogi. This practice originates from Śiva and the Himalayan yogis. It was transmitted through the lineage of Mahāprabhujī, Devpurījī, and Alakhpurījī, now shared globally. This sleep is not ordinary; it is a state of full bodily rest with complete inner wakefulness, a luminous consciousness. It is compared to an animal resting with alert senses. This profound state is rare and known by very few genuine disciples. The common experience of tiredness from lack of sleep is different from this yogic clarity. One can practice by lying down, relaxing the body completely, yet maintaining inner awareness. Upon rising, move the body gently to return fully. "Sleeping in the river, awakened. We are sleeping, but completely awakened." "As long as you are relaxed within yourself and very, very awakened, the whole body is relaxed and the energy of that."

Gurudev is for all of us

The heart's oneness transcends physical distinctions. Humanity shares a common soul, yet fixates on bodily differences like origin or appearance. This focus creates separation. True unity is found in the heart, not the form. We must make space for others, moving from the front to allow newcomers forward. Spiritual growth is a collective journey, not a solitary claim to position. Like a drop merging into the ocean, individual hearts must flow into universal oneness. Service to all, without hierarchy, embodies this truth. "Your heart is so pure, and with very spiritual rituals, and with love and understanding, we are all one." "I'm not that God, but I'm only a servant, and a servant is for all." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Bhramari helps you sleep well

The spirit of service manifests through selfless action and the power of practice sustains well-being. All teachings and satsangs are given freely, without charge. During times of crisis, aid is organized and distributed directly to those in need, providing essentials like food and water. The practice of yoga and a disciplined lifestyle are seen as protective. Specific practices like Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma generate beneficial vibrations and concentration. Natural remedies and Ayurvedic treatments are also valued. Consistent personal practice and prayer are foundational, with prayer being the most important element for a correct and good life. "Everything, everything the government gave, and now still always.

Asanas for everyone and Bhramari pranayama

The practice of Sarvahitāsana integrates physical discipline with inner spiritual energy. The journey is internal, anchored in consistent practice and personal experience. True progress comes from slow, dedicated effort, not from haste. Many techniques exist, but their transmission depends on sincere reception and sharing. The core energy originates from the navel, the source of vital vibration. Physical exercises, like specific hand positions, channel this energy throughout the entire body. Using elements like water or snow can intensify this energetic awareness. The goal is to purify the nerve systems and achieve a state of holistic health and peace. This integrated practice is for the benefit of all aspects of one's being. "Everything that is going on with me, our spiritualities, our inner life, and what I do, I do, and I really come to myself again and sarvahitāsana." "And so it is that our servitas, and the servitas, what I said now, but it’s not just here, but it will also be another movement, where we do, in this also, slowly, not so."

Don't kill and understand everybody

The path of the yogi leads from the individual drop to the infinite ocean of the divine. All creatures are bound to the cycle of devouring one another. Humans can transcend by realizing the divine within. The ocean and the drop are one; the drop will merge, losing separateness. We must become one with the Self, which is Parabrahman. Do not kill any being; killing accumulates sin, drop by drop. Alcohol serves medicinal purposes, not constant consumption. Treat all people as family—every child as your child, every elder as your parent. The Guru is within as Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva. Anyone who teaches something is a guru. Yet perfection is not claimed; even a driver learns from a teacher. The body dies but the Ātmā does not. Practice yoga, keep the body healthy, and be devoted. Brahmārī, the bee sound, balances brain hemispheres. Touch teeth for one vibration; separate them for another. It gives health, mind, and concentration. So follow the yogic path continuously. “The ocean and we are one, but the space is different; we are only a drop, and that is the ocean. But how long will you remain a drop? It will fall into the ocean.” “When you kill anything, it means that someone had a life in their body, and it had a time to live, and we kill them. That is what we call a sin—the sin.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Webcast from Jadan Ashram

The true Guru and true fellowship are the sole support for the soul. Without them, the life force departs, wandering aimlessly. The world and the ocean offer no refuge. The mind, left to its own devices, knows nothing and achieves nothing. Only through this divine connection is there blessing and grace. The tradition is honored from Sadāśiva through Śaṅkarācārya to the present teachers. The ultimate state is attained not by ritual, progeny, or wealth, but by renunciation and the knowledge of Vedānta. "What will happen if you listen to me?"

Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram

The light that upholds the universe is the Guru, the cause of crossing life's ocean. You are that light, upholding divine honor. Meeting the Lord is the greatest honor, sanctifying life through endless cycles. The Guru bestows the jewel of the Supreme Sovereign. Practice Japa and remain absorbed in meditation on the Self to attain Nirvāṇa. Applying yourself to meditation destroys the sorrows of birth. All desired tasks are accomplished, and life becomes successful. For a moment's Darśana, one studies for hundreds of births; the Guru strengthens faith, and the devotee swiftly crosses the ocean of existence.

Don't kill animals, remain clean

The call is to inner purity and care for all creation, to reach Parabrahma. God sends rain and snow for all creatures, not only humans. God gave knowledge so humans may reach Parabrahma. To reach Parabrahma, one must not kill or harm. If you kill animals, God says you have no heart to hear Him. Feeling God within brings happiness; hold God in your heart. Saints come from the oneness; Sanātana Dharma holds Parabrahma, Paramātmā, and God. Suffering is not real trouble; it is shown to others, but that same suffering is God. The name of God remains; other religions choose one God, but Sanātana Dharma has that oneness. Everything is already within the heart; outer conditions do not matter. People everywhere now learn spirituality through meditation, yoga, and holy books. Purity means caring for animals and the earth; do not kill them or pollute. Cleaning outside is inner cleaning; act to keep the earth pure. Chemicals and waste in food and water cause diseases like cancer. Small-scale pure growing is possible; large cities create waste and suffering. Let all come together to save the earth and make peace. In this way, the call to Parabrahma is fulfilled through inner purity and outer care. “Therefore, one in all and then all in one.” “Where there is coal, there is coal; where there is gold, there is gold.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Be happy and feel oneness

The human mind creates divisions like the "new year," while the earth and nature remain one. We walk upon a single earth, yet our thoughts create separation, countries, and conflict. We are one human race, beyond color or creed. Spiritual teachings speak of oneness, but even seekers fight over labels. The conflict is in the mind, not the soul. We must become "one in all and all in one." Every day can be a new beginning. Look beyond the surface waves of life to the still depth within. True peace is found in that inner unity. "Where is the new year? The sun, moon, and clouds are the same." "We should make everyone happy. You have to work—cook or don't cook—but do not make others angry."

People are very good all over the world

Humanity's diverse spiritual expressions reveal our shared essence. People worldwide celebrate festivals, pray, and seek connection. Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, and others all have beautiful traditions. Indigenous cultures, like in America, hold sacred ceremonies with pipes not for tobacco but for prayer. Africans are generous people, and Japanese strive for excellence. All humans, from farmers to city dwellers, express joy through dance and community. The core teaching across lands is non-violence and compassion. We must not kill animals or harm trees; all life is interconnected. Every creature, even an ant, has a soul. Rituals involving animal sacrifice are misguided. True spirituality is recognizing the divine in all and helping everyone. Our practices may differ, but the aim is unity and goodness. We must choose actions that are right and avoid harm. "Everybody has something... So this is a human." "We should always do spirituality... we should not do what is not right."

We are here only temporarily

Birth is an ever-present reality, and unity is found in satsang. We are born from the cosmos, yet the process remains a mystery. Life begins in the womb, a state we cannot recall. Upon birth, individuality emerges; siblings from the same source develop different natures. This diversity often leads to conflict over possessions and differing religious paths. All beings, from humans to snakes, undergo countless births. Humans possess unique understanding but must choose how to use it. True practice is to love, respect, and help all creatures, recognizing the divine in everything. A story illustrates that the sacred Ganga is not merely a river but a purifying presence found within through mantra and grace. Satsang, the company of truth, is paramount. It teaches us to live harmoniously, help one another, and care for all life, seeing the one in the many. "Every day is a new day. So every day we can say, 'It is my birthday.'"

The Serpent of Time and the Guru’s Grace

The body returns to earth; the serpent of time devours all; only the guru's grace reveals the inaccessible truth. This body, made from earth, returns to earth. Pride in body or wealth is an intoxication. Eight kinds of intoxication exist; pride, arrogance, ego must not exist. Kāla, the serpent of time, holds all in its mouth. No one knows when it will close its mouth and stop the breath. Life has no certainty; death may come at any moment. Even Rama and Krishna needed a guru. The guru's feet are worshipped by all the worlds. True knowledge of Brahman is forgotten in this world. People are distracted and everything is spoiled. The charity of Brahma Jnana is the highest charity. The guru gives the yoga of meditation. Break worldly desires, bad tendencies, and attachments. Then know the supreme Brahman, like a sun. The inaccessible is known through the satguru's grace. Without it, one wanders, weeps, and the opportunity is lost. "This body, formed from earth, finally returns to the earth."

The Five Benefits of Satsaṅg

The five benefits of satsaṅg are explained. Human birth is for welfare, rare, with the right to perform new karma. Satsaṅg is the first benefit: it reforms life, dispels worldly intoxication, and corrects the mind. If one slips, immediate repentance prevents the cycle of eighty-four. The second benefit is taking refuge in the Guru. The third benefit is taking refuge in the pure. The fourth benefit: the Guru imparts knowledge to be heard, contemplated, and absorbed. Hearing is like the amrak, contemplation like the vine, absorption like the goat. This practice burns impurities and brings ultimate good. The fifth benefit is self-enquiry. Searching within reveals, "I am the light of the Divine." In satsaṅg, joyful revelry leads to direct recognition. When breath separates, the realization dawns that oneself is the Divine. In the Guru's shelter, salvation is certain. The Guru's cool grace rises, beating the drum of the body's truth. Through the Guru's sieve, liberation is filtered, granting the light of Om. Speak with discernment, without burden. "Pratham lābh tum satsaṅg karlo, janam sudhar jāī ṭhāko." "Pañcam lābh khoj apne ko, maiṁ hūṁ nūr khudā ko." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Oneness of Guru and Disciple

The guru and disciple are one in essence, not two separate entities. This truth is observed on the holy day of a divine figure, whose presence is universal. Great saints appear in different forms across all countries, yet they are fundamentally one, just as all beings are one upon leaving the body. A holy guru expressed this as being "one in all." The guru's presence is not confined to any single location but extends everywhere. Historical accounts describe divine figures merging and acting through each other, demonstrating their non-separateness. A disciple at the feet of God understands that parents, guru, and disciple are the same. Like Lord Śiva and Viṣṇu being the same, the distinction between guru and disciple is only in words, not in reality. They are as inseparable as a child and mother, or a drop of water and the vast ocean. The eternal guru is not the body but is that which protects. One should care not for worldly things but for being with God. Humans are entrusted with everything and must choose their actions, yet should not harm animals. The goal is to merge like a drop into the ocean, becoming one with the true guru. "One in all and all in one." "A disciple and a Guru are the same. Both are the same."

Mahaprabhuji's Mahasamadhi Celebration (1/4)

The divine descent and the guru's grace are the only path. Without the guru, there is no knowledge, no mantra, and no liberation. The scriptures declare this truth. The Self and the absolute cannot be realized without the land of Bharat. This is the fruit of its ancient austerities. The guru is the root of all; all branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits belong to the guru's shelter. The divine has arrived for creation. The speaker describes a transcendent origin and cosmic actions, stating a birth within Brahma and Pralaya, journeys to Vishnu, and the act of creation itself. This is presented as a direct account of divine movement and manifestation. "Guru binā gyāna harām hai. Dekho Veda Purāṇa." "Vedah purāṇa main bauvidī gāyā, Lakhanen main nahī̃ āyā."

Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram

The Word is the fundamental reality and sole medium for divine connection. All spiritual practice, perception, and liberation arise from and depend upon the sacred Word. Through the Word alone one perceives the divine, receives grace, and gains all knowledge. It is the means of union and the instrument of effortless liberation. The Word contains all qualities and transcends them. It reveals the light, the illusion, and the supreme bliss. The true Guru, who is formless consciousness, sits within the heart and spontaneously guides those in silent meditation to freedom. From him flow the words of experiential wisdom. He unites the vital energies, leading to recognition in the inner space, whereby one attains the unreachable.

We must be in unity

Yoga and daily life lead to peace, purity, and realization of the Absolute. Yoga practice is peaceful and extends beyond the physical body to Paramātmā. Food must be very clean and pure. Many medicines contain hidden animal products, which is not good. In India, pure yogic food is traditionally given. Some teachers maintain this purity completely. Modern food nourishes diseases like cancer. Cancer always existed but now increases. Yoga centers and gurus follow sanātana dharma, teaching pure practices, exercises, meditation, and right food. Some now avoid speaking of dietary restrictions. All paths and techniques lead to one reality. India’s ancient knowledge is vast, with Vedas considered very old. The four Vedas and scriptures preserve this wisdom. Before invasions, the Gurukul system offered broad, deep education. The great library at Takṣaśilā burned for six months, destroying much knowledge. The system persisted until removed by the British. When Europe had nomads, India had culture. Efforts recover lost knowledge, as the tradition remains a source of truth. "Yoga practice is that which is very peaceful and harmonious, and not only for the physical body, but further, for all, till Parabrahma, Paramātmā." "We should all be one... They are teaching the same thing, and we are all coming to one point, because that is the reality." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Stories about master and disciple

Sādhanā must be properly practiced as the guru teaches. Disciples sing bhajans daily and inquire to become yogis and understand sādhanā. If sādhanā is not performed properly, life cannot be good. The sādhanā given by Alakhpurījī, Devpurījī, and Mahāprabhujī is known by some. One disciple, Premānand, did difficult sevā, living only for his guru. Gurus, parents, and worldly bonds all present challenges. A student spent time at the ashram school but left to follow his own guru; later he became a brilliant yogi drawing many seekers. Another young speaker explained that buttoning from bottom to top is correct; top-down is wrong. He then asked for a lecture but the teacher wished to hear him instead. A tale tells of a father and son evading a ticket on a train. The son extorted money for treats, threatening to reveal his true age. Finally the father lamented that buying a ticket would have cost far less. Mahāprabhujī once sent a disciple out in blazing heat to beg for food. The disciple was told to bring back whatever was given. When the disciple feared being left, the guru promised to bring him food wherever he was. That is the true bond of guru and disciple. Among countless sādhus, perhaps only one or two are genuine. "If this is not done properly, then it is not good; your life will not be good." "Wherever you are, I will bring you food."

Bhramari pranayama and Om chanting

Bhajan and mantra are essential practices for inner cleansing and maintaining the correct path. These disciplines continuously work within the mind to bring the inner self forward toward the divine. Many have diverted toward material pursuits, losing the language and daily practice of their tradition. This shift must be corrected by returning to the inner self through consistent practice. Yoga, particularly Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma, is vital for bringing balance to both brain hemispheres. This technique involves placing index fingers in the ears with aligned elbows and shoulders to internalize sound. Concentrate on the resulting vibration throughout the entire body, from head to toe, to achieve unity and peace. Further focus should be directed to the tip of the nose to cultivate deep concentration and self-control. "A mantra continuously works within our brain, mind, and understanding, bringing our self forward at all times." "Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma is very, very great for bringing the human brain into balance."

Introduction to Bhramari Pranayama

Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma controls and moves energy through the whole body, engaging both hemispheres of the brain. Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma enables energy control throughout the body. The whole world becomes the body; from that wholeness only a small part issues. The humming sound, like bees, generates many vibrations. Yoga transcends exercise and meditation. The practice involves both brain hemispheres. Scientific research shows few languages activate both hemispheres equally. Sanskrit is the foremost language for this. German partially achieves it. Hindi is incomplete in this regard. Equal hemispheric vibration is ideal for speech. Brahmārī practice brings vibration into the brain. Sound quality depends on teeth; missing teeth alter it. This practice benefits students and children. It enhances communication with teachers. Posture must be straight for correct vibration. Index fingers are placed gently in the ears, not too deep. "They claimed that only a few languages fully engage both hemispheres of the brain; others engage only half." "Sanskrit is one of the best. A person who speaks and lives in that vibration is always the very best." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Remain in the boat

The world is an ocean, and the guru is the boat that crosses it. Humans are like birds on that boat. Some fly off into the water and perish. One remains and reaches the shore. The guru is the captain who steers. Once a guru is taken, hold firmly, as with one’s own mother. God is not in the sky. God resides in the heart. Close the eyes and see inside. Do not chase imagined scenes. Be still in the heart. You are that God, a drop returning to the ocean. Upon waking, say “I am human.” This brings peace throughout the day. Use a mala to steady the mantra. Do not kill any being. Treat the earth as a mother. Water is God. “Guru Kṛipā He Kevalam, Śhiśhye Ke Ānanda Maṅgalam.” “Our God is our heart.” Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Do we have seen God?

The presence of the Guru is a profound blessing that revitalizes spiritual connection and purpose. A visit brings fresh energy, dispelling old habits and offering new encouragement. Disciples arrive with vessels of varying capacity to receive this grace. The true measure of reception depends on one's own openness and focus. The meaning of service is realized through practical action, not mere intellectual understanding. Past masters provided intensive care, teaching that the Guru's presence transcends the physical form. An inner connection must be established through dedicated service, from which love and true being are realized. The resonance of truth arises from both the Guru and one's own inner Self. "His presence is a blessing itself; it is a satsaṅg itself." "The real meaning of sevā unfolds itself... through the practical part." Filming locations: Jaipur Ashram, Rajasthan, India.

Spiritual Lecture on Yoga: Opening Invocation

Evening satsang from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India.

The living God

The light is twofold: the external sun and the internal light within all. This inner light is constant, unlike the rising and setting sun. The science of the material world is great, yet different from the science of yoga. A story illustrates this: a professor of science questions a meditating yogi about God, seeing nothing. After a flower falls on the yogi, the professor dreams the yogi becomes his guru, showing spiritual realization surpasses intellectual knowledge. Many claim one external God, yet in Sanātana Dharma, the divine is lived and expressed through countless devotional songs and realizations. You ask if I have seen God. I have looked from airplanes and never seen a form. Yet God is within the heart. When that life force departs, the body dies. Therefore, each being is a living God, like a drop containing the whole ocean or a spark holding the full fire's power. All living creatures possess this same life. Consuming other lives creates a karmic debt, as one must repay by becoming that which one has eaten. The truth is to recognize the living God within and cease causing harm. "Have you ever seen God? I have never seen a God." "God is within your heart. You are God. I am God."

The Divine Name as the Ship Across Saṃsāra: A Commentary on Swamiji’s Bhajan

The Divine Name is the ship that crosses the ocean of Saṃsāra. Swamiji’s bhajan declares God as the merciful giver of the Name. The Name of God is God Himself, present within the devotee. Repeating the Name awakens pure, selfless bhakti. One is dyed in love’s color through repetition. The first verse prays never to forget the Lord, and if forgotten, not to be forgotten. The Sadguru’s name provides the means to cross this world of change and disappointment. It is a great ship offering every human being passage. One wanders through countries and realms, seeing no giver like You who grants Mokṣa. Your name is supreme; much sādhanā shows all worldly means are unreal. Bhagavān Dīpa, Nārāyaṇa, Viṣṇu, the Avatāra, is the Light. The teacher’s wish is for bhaktas to receive darśana, gained through severe tapasyā. Surrender of body and mind at holy feet brings realization. The bhajans of Mīrābāī and Guru Nānaka use imagery: a lotus without water, life without mantra like a bird without a wing. Missing morning sādhanā means missing a golden day. Practice in Brahma Muhūrta lifts one above emotions and situations. "Dayālu Hamānam Āpakālīna—You are the merciful one who gave us Your name." "Upāya sabhī heri jātā—all these worldly means are simply useless." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

Feel oneness and protect all creatures

The divine essence resides within the living body. God is present within us and has given us human form. The natural world involves creatures consuming one another, yet herbivores like cows, which eat only grass, are considered close to the divine. Humans, gifted with intellect and body, often choose a path contrary to this harmony by consuming meat, which involves killing and constitutes a sin. All beings feel pain, a profound experience understood even by those who inflict it. We meditate to seek happiness, peace, and oneness with God. Figures like Jesus embodied profound suffering, yet within such suffering resides a divine essence. The individual soul is a part of God, like a drop of water destined to return to the ocean. All traditions, from Jesus to Shiva, emphasize prayer, compassion, and reconciliation, as seen in practices like seeking forgiveness during Christmas. Our ultimate purpose is unity, transcending divisions to protect all creatures with peace and love. "Animals like dogs and many others eat each other as well—big dogs, little dogs, and so many." "If we think with our brain, we can see it is not good—oh my God, a living being, and how we are killing it." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The search for God

Yoga extends beyond physical body and breath. Many close eyes and search, but the looking is not real. True yogis see within the heart with closed eyes, or perceive goodness with open eyes. Open eyes bring countless reflections and wandering thoughts. Closing eyes can lead to darkness and increased mental activity. Restlessness or sleep may replace meditation. A story tells of a sādhu who misused power to kill a bird. He threatened a woman, but her wisdom made his prāṇas leave. Power without proper foundation fails. Humans can act positively or negatively; spirituality lies in loving all creatures. Without a guru, progress is impossible, like a child needing both mother and father. Yoga Nidrā is a deep technique, not just relaxation. It is a state of yogic sleep where awareness remains awake. Understanding evolves with the practitioner. Approach Yoga Nidrā as if new each time. Re-evaluate the saṅkalpa; it may change as the spiritual path deepens. “If you close your eyes, what are you looking at? You think you are looking, but you are not.” “Try to practice as if you have never practiced it before, as a new, very deep sādhanā technique.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Respect for all festivals

The celebration of holy days reveals the oneness of all existence. The approaching festival for Mahāprabhujī coincides with Christmas, uniting diverse worship. Geographical distinctions are irrelevant; devotion connects all. The relationship between guru and disciple is one of absolute unity, akin to mother and child. All living beings are part of Sanātana Dharma. The body is a temporary garment for the eternal soul. The soul is like a drop from the ocean of God; all are one in essence. True worship understands this divine oneness within every heart. "Guru and disciple are one. If you take them as something different, then you are not a guru or a disciple." "Our God is in our heart. God is one, and one is God." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Shiva Stotras and Invocations

Shiva Stotras and invocations are the direct path to liberation. The Rudrashtakam describes Shiva as the formless, all-pervading Brahman, the form of nirvana. He is beyond qualities, without mental alternatives, the space of consciousness where all abides. His appearance is white like the Himalaya, deep and profound, with a blue throat, compassionate. The garland of serpents, the moon on his head, and the flowing Ganga adorn him. The twelve Jyotirlinga stotra grants the fruit of Shivaloka to those who recite it daily. Sins of seven births are destroyed by its mere utterance and remembrance. Invocations to the lineage of gurus—Himalaya yogis, Vishvagurus—align the devotee with grace. Even garbled syllables, when offered with devotion, carry spiritual power. The Vedasara Shivastava proclaims Shiva as the essence of the Vedas, the cause of creation, preservation, and destruction. The linga form symbolizes the unmanifest manifesting as the moving and unmoving universe. Surrender to Maheshvara removes all bondage and bestows peace. He is the protector of all beings, the destroyer of Tripura, the Lord of gods and asuras. His divine sports are beyond the comprehension of even Brahma and Vishnu. Chanting his names purifies the mind, speech, and body, leading to the supreme state. Thus, the path of stotra is open to all, and one attains the eternal abode of Shiva. "Namāmi Samīśan Nirvāṇa Rūpam Vibhum Vyāpakam Brahma Veda Svarūpam." "Etāni Jyotirliṅgāni Nityaṃ Paṭhati Yaḥ Pumān, Prāptapathaḥ Pramāṇena Śivalokamavāpnuyāt."

Remembering the anniversary of Sri Mahaprabhuji's Mahasamadhi

Sanātana Dharma is an eternal, living reality, not a historical event. Many traditions commemorate specific days for figures who lived and died, visiting gravesites with flowers and prayers. In contrast, the great saints and deities of this dharma are perceived as perpetually present, like the sun and rain that shine and fall upon all without distinction. This tradition is alive, continuously unfolding like a tree that cycles through seasons, appearing barren yet always containing life within. Life does not end; it transforms and continues. Other paths may focus on a singular past event, but here the divine principle is ever-living, constantly regenerating like a mother's life carried forward in her child. All religions are respected for their goodness, yet this understanding of ceaseless life is the essence of the eternal way. "Like when the sun rises, then we see the whole scene, that all this kind of light and everything comes from the sun." "So living. So that is the living. Even the leaves or no leaves, but this tree is living."

Reflections on Christmas, Universal Worship, and the Sacredness of All Life

The time of Christmas approaches, a period of worship, light, and preparation across traditions. People across religions prepare, decorate, and make sweets. Children watch the lights. Many think of Jesus. Worship means being happy. Diwali came before, honoring Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Rāma, Kṛṣṇa. The birth of the child Jesus happened among animals, not in a house, for reasons now forgotten. A mother suffers greatly at every birth, yet rejoices when her child is born. The same is true for the cow giving birth. God is in all creatures, but humans often forget. Animals eat each other; God gave humans to understand pain beyond oneself. A ceremony that kills animals cannot be a ceremony. Now, in this Christmas month, Jesus should be worshipped with light. Hanumānjī showed Rām and Sītā live in the heart. The heart of Jesus is also shown. God is everywhere. Every day, think of the Holy Mother, your mother. Then the divine will come. All should be human, not bound to one religion. "Jīva jīva bhakṣate, each and every animal eats each other." "If you worship God, then first worship the mother." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
