Worship every God and incarnation

Christmas approaches, and with it the remembrance of the holy mother’s suffering and joy. Candles are lit, one already burned, the second soon. People prepare sweets and good things, thinking of Jesus. After Diwali comes Christmas, just as devotion shifts from Krishna to Jesus. Jesus was born among animals, not in a house, because of the mother. Every mother, whether of a god or a simple being, suffers greatly in birth. The cow giving birth also feels pain and then love for her calf. Worship of God must begin with worship of the mother. God is present in all beings—animals, birds, fish. Creatures eat one another and feel pain, but humans are given to sense the pain of others. Yet some humans kill animals and call it ceremony; that cannot be true worship. Hanuman tore his chest to show Rama and Sita in his heart. Similarly, the Sacred Heart of Jesus is shown as a symbol of love. The light of Christmas brings happiness, like Diwali’s light. Before sleep and upon waking, think on the holy mother. Then the divine child will come, not as a baby but as God. Respect all religions; be human first. "If you worship God, then first worship the mother." "God is that which is said to be in all animals, birds, fish, and all other creatures." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Vaccinate or not vaccinate?

The discourse connects ancient spiritual festivals with modern well-being, emphasizing light, faith, and practical health. Diwali, the festival of light, originated long ago with oil lamps to worship Bhagavān Rāma. This tradition comes from a time of one religion and simple ceremonies. The light represents spiritual goodness contrasted with inner darkness. Scriptures like the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa cement these teachings. Today, various faiths—Hindu, Christian, Muslim—practice their ceremonies humbly, which is good. Our current challenge is health, stemming from improper food and chemicals. Vaccines are addressed; I took three doses and felt very well, but I do not force anyone. However, not taking it may lead to problems, like travel restrictions or separate communities. We must care for our food and water for good health. "Dīvā means light. So that time, for one day, it was the festival with the lights." "I would say that we should give all, we should take the vaccine and be nice." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Where is our happiness?

Where happiness is, there is God. God is in all creatures, plants, waters, earth. Happiness or its absence is in everything; become happy throughout life. Make your parents happy. Animals kill but do not understand. Humans must not kill. Eating meat kills a creature every day. Even eating an egg is killing, though nothing yet becomes life. Upon waking, say "I am a human being." Then ask forgiveness of Mother Earth. Pray before work, before food, during āratī. Many are lost, like sweet fruits falling from a tree. Some take alcohol, marry too early. Before eating, fold hands and give thanks. The soul cannot be killed; it returns again and again. "Where there is happiness, there is God." "If you are eating meat every day, it means every day you are killing one creature in your body." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Bhaktas are longing for Satsang

Words convey truth and community is our essence. Being present without duty allows deep observation. One sees the beauty in all things and the varied behaviors of people, yet recognizes the unchanging self within. This observation teaches discernment of character and self. Time expands for mantra, reflection, and connection to the divine source. Language extends beyond speech to include the body and face. Teachers perceive a student's condition without words. True relationship is understanding beyond the physical form. Words paint pictures of the divine and enable questions and answers. We currently rely on speech, having lost the immediate knowledge of telepathy. Language unites. The experience of lacking spiritual community reveals its profound value. Gathering with those of shared feeling and path defines it. Physical separation creates a longing akin to a fish out of water. The devotee yearns for communion like a pure swan awaiting celestial nectar. "Those are my relatives, those are my friends who understand my words, who understand me—not this physical body, but me, myself." "Imagine the fish. You take him out of the water. He is struggling, struggling, suffering, crying. Please, bring me back into the water." Filming locations: Jadan, Rajasthan, India.

My happiness is at Your holy feet

The bhajan of unwavering devotion declares that real happiness is found only at the Guru’s holy feet. Every moment the prayer is to keep loving attention there. Even if the world turns hostile, life becomes a burden, or one must walk through fire or thorns, devotion remains fixed. True practice must enter each cell, not remain outward singing or liking. Without deep rooting, devotion dries and one drifts away. Ego arises quickly when practice feels easy. The thorns are not tree-thorns but inner pains from closeness and conflict. A thorn cannot be removed by softness; a thorn pulls out a thorn. Humility is essential, but not a show of humility. Cleansing is constant, as thorns keep surfacing. The bhajan’s power awakens recognition of these inner thorns. When comfort comes, one may feel no need, but hardship reveals the true condition. The Guru sometimes places thorns to teach. Remain humble and clean within always. “Milatā hai saccā sukh keval caranāṁ meṁ, mere Guru Dev, yahī prārthanā hai har pal, har pal, har pal.” “Cāhe bairī saṁsāra bane, cāhe moṭā gale kā hārā bane, cāhe jīvana mujh par bhārā bane, rahe pyārā āpke caraṇame.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Yoga means uniting

Yoga in daily life is unity with the divine principle present in all existence. Life originates from and is sustained by water, which constitutes our bodies and the world. All creatures, including those unseen beneath the earth or in the air, are interconnected through life. The natural world operates on consumption, where creatures eat one another. A human is defined by moving beyond this, by not killing, by showing love and care to all. God is not a separate entity to be seen externally; God is within every creature and within your own heart. We are all fundamentally one, a unity temporarily experiencing separation, like a single drop of water merging back into the ocean. Our individual lives and bodies will eventually dissolve and return to the one source. Therefore, the practice of yoga is this conscious unification. It requires purifying the heart, relinquishing anger and jealousy, and acting with devotion. It involves caring for the body through exercise and pure food, but more importantly, it is an inner alignment. True yoga is living in harmony, causing no harm, and recognizing the divine in all. "One in all and all in one. One in all and one in all." "If you want to know God, He is in every creature, in every creature." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Conference from Bhari Khatu

Peace is found only within, through the Self, and in the shelter of the saints. The world is restless, seeking peace in objects and achievements, but peace is not found externally. A saint is one whose desires have ceased, who lives for others. Their darśana yields immediate fruit, purifying the seeker. Worldly birth is for experiencing karma, while the birth of a saint is to guide others. True peace comes from Self-knowledge, the inner wealth. This knowledge and a spiritual vision are gifts from the Guru. Indian culture and its saints are the source of this peace, which cannot be found elsewhere in the world. One must turn the vision inward to discover one's own peaceful nature. "Sādhuram darśanaṁ puṇyaṁ, tīrtha-bhūtā hi sādhavah, kāle phalanti tīrthāni, sandhyāyāṁ sādhu-saṅgamaḥ."

The Companion of the Three Worlds

The world is an illusion without the remembrance of the Divine. Life is as useless as a bird without wings, a tree without fruit, or a well without water. Without the Name of Hari, nothing has value. Work, anger, greed, and lust are not the path. No one and nothing in this world is truly yours; it is all a temporary play. The true companion and guide through this illusion is the Guru, the Satguru, who imparts the nectar of wisdom. Only through the Guru's grace and the practice of remembrance is liberation found. "Without a temple, like a Pandit Ved without a Heena, there is no Hari Naam." "Play, oh everyone. Play, oh Chālika. Play, oh everyone."

The Path of Breath and the Tenth Door

The breath is the path to the tenth door. Daily breath count is twenty-one thousand. In each breath, remember the Guru. This sumiran is the path called Om Shom Takhsala. Day and night the breath continues. Unite mind with breath into a continuous garland. This ajapa japa is the Guru’s gift. Surrender body, mind, and wealth to the Guru. By this surrender, all sins are cut. The third eye is Trikuṭī. When nine doors close, the tenth door opens. That door is Trikuṭī itself. Then the vision of divine light arises. The inner hunt becomes visible. All locks are opened. Birth and death suffering ends. Only through the Guru’s power is this achieved. "Ikīs Hazār Sāso Svāsa, Om Śoṁ Takṣalā. Rāt Din Kā Svāsa Hai, Ikīs Hazār Sāso Svāsa Hai, aur Svāsa Meṁ Hī Jī Gurū Mahārāj Kā Sumiran Hai." "When Tirukuṭī closes its ninth door, the tenth door is Tirukuṭī; but when Tirukuṭī is opened, all the darśana of Jyotiṣ will be performed." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

The coronation of Swami Avatarpuri

A sacred succession is announced through the Abhiṣeka ceremony. On the holy occasion of a revered master's Mahāsamādhi day, the successor is formally declared according to the sannyāsa tradition. The ceremony follows the Vedic paramparā, performed by appointed priests. It includes a ritual bath for the successor, the chanting of leading mantras, and a physical Abhiṣeka. The successor then performs guru pūjā, receives a shawl, and is officially inaugurated. This establishes the Uttara Adhikārī, who is worshipped within the tradition. The event embodies the continuity of spiritual authority and lineage. "Svāmī Avatāra Purījī will be pronounced as the successor." "According to the sannyāsī tradition, first there will be a ritual bath." Filming location: Khatu, Rajasthan, India

A Litany of Invocation and Blessing

The text is a series of devotional invocations and blessings. It opens with repeated salutations and blessings. Mantras and praises to various deities are recited, including invocations to Vishnu and references to divine incarnations. A village is declared as dedicated to God. The structure is liturgical, built on repetition and sacred names rather than linear discourse. "Praṇām, namaste. Praṇām, namaste." "God bless you. God bless you." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

Bhajan evening from Bhari Khatu Ashram

The devotee calls upon the divine, seeking grace and expressing a longing for direct experience. The world is cared for by that which is very big, the flute player. The path involves remembering the divine name to find happiness, suggesting liberation comes from breaking the bonds of countless life forms. Yet, a feeling of separation persists, a veil hiding the beloved. The devotee knows this hidden love exists but pleads for its revelation through song. Assurance is given that one protected by the true guru need fear nothing and will not perish. "Hari Nāma sumara sukha pāyegāde." "Chodāsi phaṇḍome pāsi ā, pallāpallā chinnāme jāi gāde."

Divine Discourses on Śiva, Rāma, and the Unity of Religions

On Diwali, the discourse unites Śiva and Rāma, proclaiming a single religion. Yesterday, a discourse on Śaṅkara, Śiva occurred. Now the focus is on Śiva and Rāma. This day is Diwali. Diwali is connected to Śiva and Rāma. Rāma is always spoken of. Rāma unified all religions into one. Not many religions; only God was perceived. Many programs involve people worldwide. The call is to respond. The call reaches various countries. Goodwill spreads far, like to Australia. Goodwill will arrive there. This includes both. Bhajans are now shared. Bhajans follow. Hari Om.

Divali satsang 2021 Jadan Ashram

Diwali brings the eternal name of Rāma. Corona has cleaned everything; no one had any problems in the body. That disease is the Sat-Sanātan Dharma's way, showing why it happens. God gave human birth to escape the cycle of creatures eating each other. But humans think themselves great and eat animals, so they return to animal form. In Kali Yuga, all creatures appealed to God, crying about their terrible slaughter. God said, "I give you freedom," so either you are with God or you fall. Those who do not kill creations are with God; mostly this was and is in India. Sanātana Dharma knows this; others who marry and do ceremonies will go down. Diwali is one of the best holy days, and tomorrow is the new year. The next day is very beautiful; everybody is happy with light and food. The name of Rāma is eternal; we don't know his body, but the name remains forever. The name is the greatest; only the name works, forget money and relationships. Walk with Rām, with Bhagavān Rām, and the ātmā will go to the Divine. Bhagavān Rām always protects; protection is happening for everyone. Do not eat any creatures; vegetables must be eaten, but even veganism avoids milk. The cow's calf is cut and eaten, so milk is cruelty. Many will cry and die, but the pure will ascend; this is the Kali Yuga cleansing. "Jeeva Jeeva Bhakshate, Jeeva Jeeva Bhakshate." "Bhagavān Rām hameśā hamārī rakṣā kareṅge."

Chanting divine mantras

The Satguru is the direct manifestation of the Supreme Lord. Devotion to the Satguru is the highest path. The guru's grace is supremely powerful. Even great sages did not attain without a guru. When the Vedas themselves became the guru, self-knowledge was easily gained. The Satguru's lotus feet are the support of consciousness. The Satguru's name is the refuge of the compassionate yogi. It destroys sins from countless eons. Service to the Satguru leads one to the fourteen heavens. Few understand this secret. The fool does not recognize it. Chant the Satguru's name day and night. It is your companion across lifetimes. If true happiness is desired, focus the mind on guru-service. Guru-service destroys all obstacles and delusions. The Self then shines forth. When prior merits ripen, the mind merges in the Satguru. "Satguru nām japo dina rāti, janama janama kā hai yah sāthī." "Guru sevā sarva sabhāvidhnā vināśī, miṭe bhrama ātmā prakāśī."

A Devotional Recitation and Mantra

Today we sing a mantra of Ravana and a mantra sung by Rama. The recitation is a devotional hymn to Shiva, describing his formidable and benevolent aspects. It praises his power to destroy illusions and grant liberation. The text venerates his form, from his third eye to his blue throat, and his role as the lord of the universe. It is a continuous stotram without clear demarcation between the attributed sources. The closing section offers repeated salutations to a lineage of gurus and deities. The final phrase is ambiguous and not a standard blessing. "Samarachchidam Purachchidam Bhavachchidam. Makachchidam Gajachchidandakachchidam Tamantakachchidambhaje." "Bhajeham Bhavānī Patiṁ Havāgamyam Kālātīta Kalyāda Kalpāntakāri."

Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Gītā Invocation and Guru Gītā Dhyāna

Now the second part of Guru Gītā is sung. The meditation is pure, on the great Lord, giver of all bliss. It brings all comfort, bestows enjoyment and liberation. The Guru is the form of supreme Brahman, eternal, pure, beyond dualities. The Guru is like the sky, the witness of all thoughts, beyond the three gunas. Meditate on the divine form seated in the heart lotus on a lion throne. The Guru shines with moonlight, holds the seed of existence-knowledge-bliss. Dressed in white, adorned with pearls, with a gentle smile, full of compassion. Beside the Guru sits the Divine Mother, the power. The Guru is the knowledge-form, united with own nature, ever blissful. The Guru is the supreme yogi, the healer of the disease of worldly existence. The Guru's feet destroy the fire of samsara. In the crown lotus, the moon mandala is meditated upon. The Guru is the unbroken, the thousand-petaled, the swan-like. Always remember the divine Guru. Never neglect the Guru's instruction; serve the Guru's feet. Through the Guru's grace, one knows 'I am liberated.' "Dhyānaṁ śuddhaṁ mahādevaṁ sarvānanda pradāyakam."

Yogis are always alert

The topic is states of consciousness and Yoga Nidrā. Throughout the day, thoughts are sent from both brain hemispheres. In the waking state, one is not within oneself; one is at a far distance, thinking of other places. One is here but also there, not within. Driving a car demands complete alertness to every detail. Even practicing yoga or thinking about it is an external activity. When sleep comes, one enters another consciousness, but the body continues working. Dreams carry one to distant places, yet one is never fully asleep. In dreams, one returns instantly from the moon or sun, showing an inner alertness. This proves, “I am the alert.” Normal humans experience waking, sleeping, and dreaming. But yogīs, through Yoga Nidrā, are different. They are not sleeping when the body sleeps; they remain awake. When awake, they are fully aware, not scattered. A horse sleeps standing, very alert, lightly holding on one leg. Birds and many animals sleep similarly. Humans cannot naturally do this. However, yogīs attain this alertness through the sādhanā given by Mahāprabhujī. Yoga Nidrā involves the Vajra Nāḍī, from toes to the top of the head. It is a powerful practice for complete awareness. “We are here, but we are not here; we are there.” “When we are awake here, we are sleeping.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

What does Sanatana Dharma mean?

Sanātana Dharma is the eternal, natural law based on one's inherent nature, with its foundation in purity. It originates from the time of Śiva, who was first in this creation. The practice begins with purifying one's diet, which purifies the body and mind, allowing entry into the divine. This dharma is ancient and universal, with all contemporary religions stemming from its Vedic root. The process of realizing this eternal truth is yoga, which is the human task. Understanding karma and reincarnation is essential, as individuals are fully responsible for their destiny. Suffering settles past accounts and teaches. A realized guide is crucial for this awakening. Following one principle, like truthfulness, constitutes the tapasyā that leads to Sanātana Dharma. "Āhāra śuddhi leads to sattva śuddhi. If we take pure food, then our physical body will become clear like a diamond." "The process of realizing the ātmā in us is yoga. This is the task of each human being." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Yog and Viyog

Yoga is not merely physical exercise; it originates from Śiva, who is formless yet manifests through the five elements. The human body is composed of these elements, yet within resides the Ātmā, the life force present in every cell. Humans often act without awareness, especially in consumption, unlike animals. This lack of control obstructs the spiritual path. The core of spiritual practice is the Vajranāḍī, the spinal channel. When this channel is strong, one is healthy and capable. A yogī must control this Vajranāḍī. True yoga involves āsana, prāṇāyāma, and meditation, but one must ultimately go beyond these practices. Control is essential in all actions. "The bhajan, yogī jana kī yog nidrā bhagāne bahād badyā." "Yoga, vyogaḥ. Yoga and vyoga. Vyoga is also not good in this." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Mantras and Bhajans

The Transformative Power of Satsaṅg and Bhajan Life in the ashram changes—becomes divine, meaningful, done in the light of Guru Dev with detachment. The central practice is daily satsaṅg, gathering together. In satsaṅg, bhajans are sung. Bhajans glorify God, created by saints who realized the essence of being. Their experience flows through the medium of rāga. Diving deep into a bhajan reveals endless truth, layer after layer. Each finds a different meaning. Singing with devotion, with bhakti, reveals truth more deeply. Viśvagurujī emphasizes bhajan as foundation, a form of teaching. Truth is revealed through a gentle, pleasant medium, like an art. It can be practiced anywhere, any time, needing only the voice—or the mind if voiceless. It is like a mantra: repetition deepens understanding, increasing sweetness. Practicing bhajans means remaining in communion with God, communicating with masters, understanding their teachings, carrying them forward. Sitting together and singing bhajans is satsaṅg. “If you dive deep into a bhajan, you will discover layer after layer, for truth is endless; it has no bottom, no beginning, and no end.” “The more often you sing them with devotion, with bhakti, the more the truth reveals itself.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Guru can take you across the ocean

The Guru is first and foremost in this world. The Guru stands at the pinnacle. Even avatars like Rama and Krishna were Gurus. They followed the Guru’s orders. Humans must make the Guru central. The Guru alone carries one across worldly existence. Without the Guru, nothing is possible. Only the Guru grants God-realization. Only the Guru bestows Moksha. Full devotion to the Guru brings constant happiness. All problems and sorrows vanish. The Guru’s blessings bring easy success. The Guru’s grace rests upon the disciple. The Guru channels divine grace. Through the Guru, one becomes one with God. Stay devoted to the Guru always. Full dedication to the Guru is required. "Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam, Śiṣya Khyānand Maṅgalam."

Divine consciousness and Yoga Nidra

Yogic awakening transcends ordinary states of consciousness. True awakening is not merely physical alertness but an inner vigilance present even in sleep. The waking state involves external awareness, while sleep engages the body's inner healing intelligence. Dreaming operates without the sense of a separate self. A realized yogi remains awake within all these states—sleeping, dreaming, and waking. This consciousness is beyond conventional perception. Modern science and yogic science are separate; yogis perceive humanity, but humanity cannot grasp the yogis' state. This awareness is the essence of yoga nidrā, a profound relaxation where inner awakening is fully present. "Awakening, yogic awakening, means you can sleep very deeply; it is no problem. But in that sleep, those who are yogic are also awakened inside." "Real awakening occurs even when we are sleeping. Each and every cell, all the inner doctors—the inner physician—is doing good work."

Animals are like our brothers and sisters

The current era is marked by a loss of compassion and health due to consumption of animal products and drugs. In the past, meat was eaten rarely, but now it is a constant desire. This, along with alcohol and drugs, makes people inert. Many young people are now choosing veganism, recognizing animals as brothers who are tortured. Practicing yoga leads to this understanding of health and compassion. Modern diseases like cancer have increased drastically, primarily because of contaminated meat and dairy. This affects even the young. To ensure health for future generations, we must adopt a vegan lifestyle. Yoga teaches not only exercise but how to think and prepare pure food. We must save our children from these diseases by rejecting harmful foods. Support this ashram as a place for health and long life through yoga and veganism. "In the aeroplane, all were vegan."

The Globe of the Self: Reflections on Ātmā, Jīva, and the One in All

The nature of the jīva within the globe and the essence of meditation. One in all and all in one—this truth pervades the Earth. The jīva, the soul, dwells in every creature. No being leaves this globe; we only cycle within. Meditation is living awareness, not just closed eyes. The mind must settle where it truly is. The ātmā is not singular; many aspects exist in one body. The Vedas hold secrets, but mere reading cannot reveal them. Doctors are next to God, yet they cannot perceive the ātmā. The navel is a powerful center; surgery there is dangerous. Healing occurs through one's own confidence and inner fire. Prāṇa flows when blessings ignite that inner energy. Prayer is the ātmā addressing itself. The prayer "Śrī Guru Ātmā Paramātmā" brings purity and oneness. Yoga nidrā is the yogī's sleep, conscious and deep. In that relaxation, all separateness merges. Thus, one remains forever within the globe, yet finds freedom inside. "One in all and all in one." "Next to God, the doctor." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

All disciples are equal for the Guru

Respect all beings and uphold Dharma by avoiding harm, especially to animals. The path requires purity in action, thought, and the handling of resources meant for others. Greed and selfishness lead to loss, as illustrated by the dog who, seeing a reflection, dropped its own bread to chase another. All actions have consequences; handling others' resources carries immense karmic responsibility. A story tells of a cook who consumed donated ghee meant for all and bore the full karma of a skin disease. Another story reveals that managing an ashram's funds can be a severe karmic burden, not a blessing. The inner witness always sees our actions, and what we do to others returns to us. True spirituality sees the one in all and all in one, making harm to any being impossible. "If you would have spread this ghee into the meal for everybody, then everybody would get a little pimple on the face. But now all that karma came to you." "I would like for that person in his next life to be the manager of the ashram... I was the ashram manager in my past life." Filming location: Split, Croatia

The relation between humans and God

The oneness of all life is realized through yogic practice. All humans are one, regardless of origin. The first humans emerged alongside divine consciousness. All beings are manifestations of the one God. Consider the ocean and a single drop; the drop is the ocean, yet fears merging. The five elements compose this body. Life is present within everything. The breath flows through the nostrils, connected to the legs and brain hemispheres. This natural control has been lost. Humans have descended, becoming like other creatures. God has given humanity this opportunity for parity. The yogic life is distinct. Do not judge beauty or status. At birth the hand grasps; at death it is open. Everything is yoga. In this age, consumption of chemicals and meat brings disease. The life force is real, inherited from parents. We must turn toward the cosmic Self. Practice involves breath and the subtle channels. Words and actions create positive or negative consequences. Upon death, all religions converge at one point. Prayers are essential. Suffering is inherent. Perform good deeds. The soul is affected by karma. Practice these techniques for health and realization. "All of you are God. We are all God." "At the time of birth, our fist was like this. When we die, what will we take? Nothing." Filming location: Split, Croatia

First is the Guru

The guru holds primacy over God, as shown through Abhimanyu's ordeal. A boy sought a guru for spiritual life. The guru tested him by sending him with cows without food. He drank milk, which was forbidden. He ate foam from calves, which was scolded. He took fresh leaves, which was rebuked. He ate only dry leaves. During rain, water escaped from the reservoir. The guru ordered it dammed. Other disciples refused out of tiredness. The boy offered and lay in the breach to stop the water. Later, he became blind from eating dead leaves. He fell into a dry well while following cows. The guru found him. The boy asked if the cows had come home. God appeared in the well. The boy bowed to the guru first, recognizing the guru as the path. "Abhimanyu, I am God." "Yes, Gurudev, but without your giving it, I will not eat." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Yoga and health

The essence of a yogic life integrates body, breath, and mindful living. Care for the body through exercise and yoga; neglect brings illness and suffering. Movement is vital, but excess is harmful. Practice moderation. Breath work and meditation nourish the lungs and system. Diet is crucial; consuming meat introduces impurities and disease. Familial ailments can be addressed through lifelong prāṇāyāma. Simple yogic techniques, like using water on the face and nostrils, awaken the body's cells and promote health. The goal is a long, happy life. Householders who work and maintain stable families are great yogīs, providing essential support. Spiritual practice is for everyone, not just ascetics. True yoga brings health, peace, and understanding. "Movement is very important. Meditation, breath exercises—what we call playing with the breath—are vital." "Either do not have children, or if you do, the children should have one father and mother in oneness." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

We should feel that we are one

The journey is a return to oneness, like a bird that flies far but returns to its nest each evening. You travel, yet the essential self is not confined by location. The true self, the ātmā, is singular and vast, connecting all beings and even reaching the stars. We are here to meet in love and peace, recognizing our shared essence beyond temporary physical forms. A separate sense of self creates fear and suffering. Realize your true nature as the unified ātmā, which is the greatest power. Practice Aśvinī Mudrā to release fear and negativity, contracting and relaxing to generate inner energy and stability. This sādhanā integrates what is separated. "One in all and all in one." "Ātmā is the tiger; all become tigers."

We should have roots

Yoga is a progressive path requiring tailored techniques for growth, like a child advancing through life stages. We must evolve beyond mere physical exercise to teach yoga's full science, especially at universities where its depth is often unknown. Many traditions and teachers exist, each with their own disciples, just as every mother has her own child—all are valid and should be respected. True roots come from genuine lineage and practice, not from those who claim exclusivity. Modern life severs these roots, leading to disconnection, much like a leaf blown from its tree. Our goal is to merge with the divine, like a drop returning to the ocean, through sincere practice and loyalty to authentic teachings. "University, but I don't know what yoga is. So, we have to teach them at the university. Because only physical exercises are not enough." "Similarly, everyone has their mother, their father, their children, friends, etc. And that is what we call the best path." Filming location: Nova Gorica, Slovenia

We got the energy of our parampara

Satsaṅg is the true life, leading to the cosmic. The Guru Paramparā begins with Alakhpurījī from the time of Śiva. Dust settles daily on the body, requiring constant cleaning. Without meditation and satsaṅg, spiritual dust accumulates. The yugas proceed from Śat to Kali, where Kali is black and impure. Alakhpurījī lived in caves, witnessed in the Himalayas. The lineage continues through Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, to Swami Mādhavānandajī. Holy Gurujī composed a bhajan for the whole world. Practice yoga, prāṇāyāmas, and mantras to cleanse and rise. Aśvinī Mudrā involves gentle anal contraction, done five times. Oṃ pronunciation starts from the navel, rising through the spine. Bhrāmarī Prāṇāyāma with closed ears resolves brain problems. Control these techniques to avoid issues. Mistakes are dust; daily cleansing with God’s names purifies. Carry forward these teachings to bring Satya Yuga. The lineage from Alakhpurījī remains present. “Satsaṅg is the only life; next to it, nothing.” “Don’t worry.” Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia

Holistic health requires returning to natural living, disciplined practice, and inner awareness. Disease is rampant in this age due to chemically altered food, polluted water, and a lifestyle disconnected from traditional wisdom. Organic nutrition is essential; fasting two days weekly on water alone removes many ailments. Families must teach children to respect elders and stay rooted in home-based knowledge rather than constant outward distraction. Disciples should follow the guru’s guidance, yet many disregard it, just as children now control parents. True humanity fades when scripture study and spiritual seeking are neglected. Yogic practice offers direct remedies: Āśvinī Mudrā gradually heals hemorrhoids when done daily. Placing a drop of ghee or oil in the navel before sleep strengthens core health and prevents disease. The Brahmārī technique, sustained over time, eliminates headaches. During meditation, hold the mālā against the navel with gentle pressure while repeating the mantra, turning all attention inward. This focus aligns body and mind. “In one week, two days we should not eat. And good water, please try to get good water.” “We have to learn more about our inner self. Try to see, so meditate or think very nicely, very much, and read the holy scriptures.” Filming location: Slovenska Vas, Slovenia

Be vegetarian or vegan

The Earth sustains all life, and yoga is the path to harmony with it. Yoga in Daily Life is a global spiritual practice for health and peace, distinct from mere physical exercise. The world contains 85 million species across water, earth, and sky. Humans are but one form of life. The current age, Kali Yuga, is a time of suffering where humans disrupt nature, poisoning water, air, and food with chemicals, causing disease. This suffering is a consequence of harming other creatures. True yoga practitioners, maintaining pure practices, can remain resilient. The solution is a compassionate, vegan lifestyle and spiritual discipline. A key practice involves focusing on the navel, the seat of life, with specific breathing and sound vibrations to promote health and balance. "Yoga is for the yogīs, and yogīs are there for their energies and blessings for the whole world." "Humans and animals are different... We are not God, my dear. What we are eating, what we are doing, how we are—we know who is like that, and we are killing them." Filming location: Maribor, Slovenia

Selfless service

The spiritual path requires a heart as pure and receptive as a young child's. Discipline is necessary, yet the essence is surrender to the guru's grace, which nurtures the disciple like a mother feeds her infant. The mind creates conflict, imagining the guru's anger or judgment, but the true heart holds only benevolent light. Early ashram life is a struggle with one's own undisciplined nature, a confrontation with the inner enemy. That foundational austerity yields a lasting spiritual resource. The guru's method balances sweetness with corrective strictness, yet the deepest transmission is beyond feeling. Meditation means turning inward to find that tiny, indestructible light within the heart, not seeking external validation. The lineage continues through those who merge their being entirely with the guru's consciousness. "Be like a little child, and we do for the child, but not in the heart of the child, outside something, and so slowly, slowly, then." "In my one hand is sweet... On the other hand, there is a stick. So what do we want?" Filming locations: Vienna, Austria.

The Essence of Satsaṅg and Gurukṛpā

Grace flows solely from Śiva through the Guru's lineage, blessing every cell and being. All creatures inherently seek this grace. Humans, possessing the ātmā, also carry deep negativity. The Satguru, the inner truth, counters this. Satsaṅg is gathering in truth, a cleansing communion with all beings. It fosters unity and love, washing away the dirt of daily life. This practice aligns us with the divine lineage and purpose. "Sat means truth. Asat is not that." "Satsaṅg means together. With us, good people." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Yoga is beyond everything

Yoga originates from Śiva and is beyond mere exercise. Śiva manifested the postures by observing all creation, including animals and elements. He provided 84 key postures for health and happiness. The entire cosmos, including the sun and moon, is an expression of Śiva's energy. Śiva is not a physical form but the universal principle, with thousands of names venerating this truth. The ages cycle, and we are in Kali Yuga. Human life is a precious opportunity to cultivate peace and harmony through right living. A story illustrates devotion: Viṣṇu sought blessings by offering a thousand flowers to Śiva in prolonged worship. True yoga is the union with the divine principle within. Practice meditation, maintain good health, and extend goodwill to all beings. Live with spiritual discipline, for life is fleeting. Do not reduce yoga to simple exercise; it is the path to realizing Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva within. "Yoga comes from Śiva. Śiva brought sitting in the postures, and he was feeling very great." "Śiva is not only a physical body. We can’t see, and we can see, and we are different." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

God is in our heart

The eternal divine tradition and the living God within all existence are present now. Our lineage originates from the primordial consciousness, Śiva, manifesting through the elements across countless ages. Time cycles through Yugas, and now we are in Kali Yuga. Many have lost connection, denying the divine because they seek God only externally. Yet God is not a separate entity to be found elsewhere. Divinity is the living essence within all creation—water, earth, air, fire, and every being. The body perishes, but the soul, the ātmā, is eternal and divine. We are like individual drops from a vast ocean; the drop and the ocean are the same living water. Do not claim only one God or one religion. All life is sacred. You are God. Therefore, care for this body, the vehicle for your divine journey. Practice discipline in food and action. Perform Sarvahitāsana to cleanse and energize the body. Through such practice and awareness, recognize the divine light within yourself and all existence. "God is here, but we say, 'Do we not have?' And not only you, in yourself, there are many, many lives, God’s cells." "What dies is our body, but our ātmā, our soul, our life inside, will never die." Filming location: Levocha, Slovakia

The Science of Yoga

Life originates from divine consciousness and manifests through all beings. Existence emerged from emptiness, with the principle of Śiva giving rise to the elements and all life forms. The attraction between male and female energies sustains creation. Humans have evolved with intellect, developing science, yet our physical life is temporary like a flame. True essence is the eternal life force, or jīva, present in all creatures, identical in an ant and an elephant. This indivisible consciousness is like a drop merging into the ocean. We exist in Kali Yuga, a challenging age. Modern ailments like cancer arise from consuming chemicals and non-organic foods, which harm the body and earth. Health requires personal discipline: practice yoga daily, fast on Mondays and Fridays, eat primarily organic vegetables and grains, and avoid excess meat, alcohol, and overeating. Keep the navel area healthy. Simple daily techniques, like focused breathing and sound vibration through the spine, purify and maintain well-being. Respect both medical science and yogic science for a balanced life. "From that emptiness, different kinds of elements were created: the sky and light." "Your physical body is bigger, but the tiny one and the bigger one are the same."

After death, everything is counted

The inner flame leads to divine consciousness. God is within the body, not outside. A flame in the heart departs through eleven points: two eyes, two nostrils, two ears, mouth, urination and excretion organs, and the crown. Every action and thought is recorded in all cells. Human science is physical and ends with death. Yogic science leads to the cosmic Self beyond life. The guru’s presence awakens dormant memory in cells, like a vaccine imprinting permanently. Personal practice remains essential; relying only on the guru is insufficient. Good and bad deeds accumulate and determine the soul’s journey after death. Daily techniques purify and elevate. Aśvinī Mudrā contracts and relaxes the anal sphincter to stimulate the spine. Mantra Oṃ from navel to crown brings vibration. Ear breathing with closed ears vibrates through both brain hemispheres. Bhajan sounds impact all cells, positive or negative. Time is given; use it or lose it. Practice now. “You are the God — not your body, but within your body.” “So use it or lose it. That’s your life.” Filming location: Debrecen, Hungary

Our relationship with the Guru

The eternal spiritual lineage flows from the Satya Yuga to the present. The guru paramparā is an unbroken succession from one guru to the next. This lineage originates from Śiva and the Satya Yuga, the age of truth where all beings lived in harmony. From that age comes Ālakpurījī, a primordial presence connected to the Himalayan rivers. The lineage continues through figures like Devpurījī and Mahāprabhujī to Gurudev Svāmī Madhavānandjī. Disciples are connected to this lineage, receiving its energy into the soul. The current duty is to care for all disciples and be faithful to the guru. In this Kali Yuga, truth is often absent, causing suffering. All humans ultimately come from the same divine source, regardless of changing external forms or bloodlines. Spiritual practice focuses on the heart, where a divine light resides, connected to the energy of the navel. Life is like a cherry tree; some blossoms bear fruit while others fall, all according to divine will. The aim is to achieve purity through the five elements and unite with the highest cosmic reality. "Satya means the truth only. Everything is the truth, in the whole earth, the whole ocean, in all, everything that is there." "Paramparā means one after another. So when that will sit, given here to sit, it’s not that you come and sit down." Filming location: Debrecen, Hungary

Destiny guides all beings to their rightful place. Every creature, from birds to humans, follows a path determined by divine will. Life is a temporary journey where the individual soul, like a drop of water, ultimately seeks to merge with the universal ocean. All living beings possess the same essential life force, regardless of form. Human intellect allows discernment between good and bad, yet true understanding requires realizing oneness with all existence. The physical body and worldly religions are temporary; the soul's destination is determined by its karma. The ultimate goal is to dissolve into pure, peaceful light, free from the cycle of rebirth and suffering. Practice non-violence in thought, word, and deed, and purify the self. "One in all and all in one." "Life is best if you don’t kill anyone."

Take God in your heart

The path to the divine requires purity and correct spiritual lineage. Modern science is great but does not reach the ultimate truth. A true guru from an authentic lineage provides the passport for the spiritual journey, like a valid government document. Śiva, the formless source, manifested creation from the elements. Śiva and Śakti are the primordial unity, reflected as male and female in all existence, from humans to plants. This understanding leads to the Supreme Self. The current age is dominated by negativity and separation. To reach God, one must first purify the inner self. Refrain from negative thoughts and actions toward others. Purify the five elements within through breath and conduct. Physical and mental harm creates pain; avoiding it aligns one with the divine. "Those who receive the blessings of the gurus—but the guru is that guru which has a paramparā, meaning from generation to generation—then they are going on the right way." "If we can purify ourselves now, for example, ask yourself, 'Have you done anything negative towards others?'"

Where can we find God?

God is found within all life and elements, not as a distant external figure. The search for God often looks outward, yet divinity resides in every heart, in every living being, and within the five elements that constitute existence. The soul, or ātmā, is this divine essence. Upon death, this soul departs the body; its exit point is influenced by one's spiritual life. A pure soul may exit from the crown of the head toward universal unity, while other paths lead to different states. All beings and the natural world are manifestations of this single divine reality. Therefore, recognize the divine in yourself and in all creatures. Practice this through daily affirmation, reverence for the earth and water, and specific techniques like the Aśvinī Mudrā to awaken inner energy and alignment. "God is in our heart. You also have God in your heart." "I am human. And the whole day, you will have a very good time, and you will be very happy."

Respect and love everybody

Respect is the foundation of all conduct, shown through simple courtesies like offering a good seat or allowing others to go first. This respect extends beyond social manners to encompass our entire lineage, including parents, grandparents, and spiritual teachers. Their place is always considered higher, and we humbly acknowledge our position within that tradition. A profound failure of this respect is seen when a son, having become a teacher, publicly disowns his father as a servant. Such acts define the current age, where the young often disregard the elderly and distinctions of title erase fundamental human dignity. This creates a societal break, leaving the old abandoned and the young disconnected from their source. True respect must be restored in all relationships, from family to work, recognizing the inherent worth in every person. Spiritual practice is meaningless without this foundational virtue of honoring others. "Whenever we have our Guru Paramparā—those Gurus, though not physically here, are with us." "This person, whose father broke his back to make him study and become a teacher, called his father his servant."

We can achieve the Paramatma

A return to a familiar and beautiful land after a long absence. The journey has been long, through many places over many years. The recent global suffering from disease prompts a deep reflection. This disease affected only humans, not animals. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of human actions upon other creatures. The natural world operates in cycles, like water between the ocean and clouds, and even a tiny spark can cause great destruction. Humans have taken much from the earth. True practice requires inner cleansing, not just outer appearance. The spiritual path is like a river that purifies what flows into it. All are equal on this journey; titles and dress are ultimately superficial. The essence is to practice diligently, without ego, until the end. "God said all creatures came to God: animals, birds, fish, all. God, we come to God all. These humans are killing us and killing us. Please, please, do something." "Don't think that he is not a yogī. You are all my brothers, my sisters. You are better than me. I am only to work, I am working, I am working, that's it." Filming location: Budapest, Hungary

The Divine Unity of Life

Yoga is the journey from the body to cosmic life. It is not merely physical exercise. Life is both physical and divine, making all beings children of God. Consider the ocean: its water, the clouds, and rain all originate from the same source. So it is with life and God, who is one with the whole universe. We should contemplate life. The five elements compose our existence, and from them, the soul, or ātmā, departs at death. That light is fire, and fire cannot exist without water; in the ocean is fire. Human relationships, like marriage, should transcend physical union and be for unity and divinity. Practice meditation, read holy books, and learn daily. Be humble, kind, and seek oneness in thinking, not in bodies. Do not kill animals; adopt a compassionate, vegan lifestyle. Practice real yoga throughout life. "God is one with the whole universe. Our ocean, our land, our all." "Fire cannot stay without water. In the ocean is the fire." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Yoga is spiritual

The teaching focuses on a devotional prayer and yoga techniques for physical and spiritual wellbeing. The bhajan of Śrī Mādhavānandajī requests bliss and acceptance of service. God needs nothing, yet the heart is offered in folded hands. Forgiveness for past misdeeds is pleaded. The devotee is a wave in the ocean of compassion. The prayer asks removal of the darkness of ignorance. The holy being is implored to take birth for devotees. Heavens and hells are impermanent; souls return when karma exhausts. Only saints are born by will to help. The poet signs to take responsibility. For wellbeing, three practices are given. Aśvinī Mudrā contracts only the anus, not the belly, to energize and calm. Nābhi pulse awareness means lying down and feeling the pulse at the navel. This addresses bodily and mental problems. Bhrāmarī is a humming sound with teeth together, then slightly apart. It harmonizes brain hemispheres. These techniques dispel disturbing thoughts and bring health. "Kṛpāsāgara mā samānade—O merciful ocean, merciful master, please let us be one with you." "Bhakta Uddhāra Avatāra Pīra Lejo—please take birth again for the sake of the devotees." Filming location: Linz, Austria

Practising yoga leads us to God

The human brain and navel are the dual foundations for spiritual and worldly life. The navel is the seed and root of the entire body. The developed human brain possesses two immense hemispheres, enabling both great scientific advancement and spiritual pursuit. These represent two paths: one leads downward into worldly action, the other upward toward the divine. Current times are characterized by impurity in food and environment, shortening life. Spiritual practice, like the described techniques, purifies and balances. The seed of life grows based on its roots; good roots in fertile soil yield sweet fruit, while poor roots yield bitterness. The goal is a sāttvik, or pure, life dedicated to good actions, aligning with the divine. "Given to the humans, now I gave you everything. Now you do what you." "Our physical... when one dies, then there is nothing. But when we are coming to that above, the spirituals are good things." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

Reflections on a Time of Distance and Practice

A global situation has created distance and sadness, yet practice has continued at home. Spiritual exercises and yoga have been a support. However, many who practice still consume alcohol and meat, which harms the body and clouds the soul. A sattvic, vegetarian lifestyle leads to health and clarity, aligning with nature's provision of vegetables, fruits, and milk. Killing animals for food creates suffering and negative karma. True peace comes from harmonious living, seeing all humans as brothers and sisters. Practice diligently until the last breath, for the soul's exit determines the next journey. Spiritual nourishment from scripture is essential. "Vegetarians are actually getting less sick, vegetarians are more healthy." "Proper nourishment... One is physical... food... practice. And the second one is spiritual." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
