What means Satsang

The value of bhajan and satsang in daily life is essential for spiritual practice. Daily life demands prayer, bhajan, and meditation. Without these, human existence remains incomplete. Bhajan connects consciousness to oneness. Concentration returns through prayer. Bhajan releases all tensions of the day. Tiredness vanishes through bhajan and prayer. Nighttime practice ensures peaceful sleep. It prevents restless dreams. Dream-concentration becomes harmonized. Satsang is the supreme practice. Satsang grounds one in truth. Negative thoughts before sleep cause loss. A human who falls from spiritual focus may become an animal. Many have abandoned regular prayer. Those who engage in bhajan and satsang are truly fortunate. "Through these bhajans, prayers, etc. From the whole tension of the whole day, you brought it into your brain and into your heart, and tiredness is gone." "Satsaṅg is the best. Satsaṅg, Sat Satya Bhāva, to the truth, we are in the truth." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Drops go back to the ocean

The mind's flow determines spiritual progress. A guru sent a disciple to purchase oil with one paisa. The merchant filled the vessel yet oil remained. The merchant doubted the disciple's sanity. Upon return, the guru questioned the small amount. The disciple claimed oil was also inside the pot. The guru explained the disciple had reversed what was given, turning the remainder aside. This illustrates vṛtti, the mind's direction. Entering a meditation hall, vṛtti should rest on the guru's presence and inner practice. Instead, minds often whirl like a river vortex that traps even elephants. Thoughts get caught in judgments, hunger, anger, or distractions. A pure water drop held in the palm can be drunk and lost in bodily impurities. If dropped into the ocean, it merges into vastness. Seekers come to the ashram to merge into the divine ocean. Yet wandering vṛtti causes the drop to be consumed by worldly things. Constant remembrance of the guru is essential. Without it, one strays from the path. Only steady practice allows sitting on the guru's seat without fear. "Where is your vṛtti?" "If you drop this in the ocean, it will become whole as an ocean."

Kundalini and bhramari pranayama

The human system is a map of energy, with the chakras and their petals corresponding to the letters of language. The fifty-two petals of the chakras align with the fifty-two letters of the Sanskrit alphabet. This connection reveals language as a divine structure within the body. The mother tongue holds primacy, as the first sound comes from the mother. Understanding this interwoven reality requires study and direct experience, not mere intellectual discussion. Techniques like Brahmari Prāṇāyāma harmonize this inner system. Practice with discipline to awaken knowledge from within.

The Human Dharma

The human life is a vehicle to realize the soul and reach the divine source. This body is a temporary conveyance like a train; we leave it at our destination. In this age, fundamental relationships and purity are forgotten, as seen when parents are discarded. Humans consume animal bodies yet ritualistically avoid human corpses, blurring the line between purity and degradation. All life contains the same minute soul, experiencing the same pain. The mother and the earth are both gurus, as life begins from the father's seed within the mother's womb. Every teacher of any skill is a guru, but the one true guru is the divine seed within, connecting us to the eternal tradition. True yoga integrates this understanding with ethical living, not mere physical postures. Chant "Oṁ" from the navel to connect with this inner source. "The body is like an airplane, a train, or a bus. When we reach our destination, we get out." "All contain a jīva, a living being. The tiny drop and the vast ocean are the same." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Yoga and Bhramari Pranayama

The inner light of practice is found through consistent yoga and pranayama. Asana purifies the body, while pranayama awakens the internal power of prana. This life force is inseparable from the jiva, or individual soul. One specific technique is Brahmari pranayama. It involves closing the ears and listening to the internal sound. This sound reveals imbalances within the body's energy channels. The practice brings peace to the mind and awakens inner light. Hold to one practice with dedication, not changing it daily. "Yoga is not just asana and pranayama; that is a little for the body." "Hold on to it and hold on to it." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Our life is like a football

The path of purification leads the self to its divine destination. The five elements of the body are purified through practices like bhajan, which channels spiritual power through every nerve and thought. The human brain possesses immense capacity, yet it must be guided from dry intellect toward the heart's wisdom. A human being should protect all living creatures, recognizing the divine spark within each, regardless of size. The journey is precarious; one may fall back by succumbing to weakness or distraction. The Guru provides guidance, but the individual must remain steadfast on the boat, avoiding the temptations that pull one into lower existences. The aim is to unify with the true Self, enjoying the human form while transcending its attachments, until the elements are purified and the goal is reached. "Jīva jīva bhakṣyate. It is said that every creature is eating another creature. But the human is very far." "Where there is nothing, there it is. But if you want to have that one, then there is nothing."

Fullmoon satsang on Holi with bhajans

The festival of Holi reveals the supremacy of the Guru’s grace and the victory of devotion over evil. The Guru is the superpower in the material world. No act should be performed without the Guru’s permission. If the Guru wishes to act, everything is attained. Holy Guruji alone is sufficient. The dust of the Guru’s lotus feet is fragrant and full of sweet love. The dust of the Guru’s feet grants the four fruits: Artha, Dharma, Kama, and Moksha. Holi commemorates the Satyuga when divine powers challenged demonic forces. The demon king Hiranyakashipu ordered his sister Holika to burn his son Prahlad. Holika possessed a boon of immunity to fire. She took Prahlad into the fire, but he was saved by Lord Vishnu’s grace, and Holika burned to ashes. Later, Lord Vishnu tore Hiranyakashipu apart. The festival marks the victory of good over evil. Holi also begins the harvest season; new corn is roasted and shared. On the night before Holi, a bonfire is lit, and women offer prayers and sweets. On Holi day, people smear ashes and play with colors, splashing colored water. True following means taking teachings into the heart, for human birth is for sadhana.

Shiva is the light

The eternal dharma reveals the interconnectedness of all life. Every creature possesses a soul and feels pain, no matter how small. A tiny fly approaches and flees, sensing danger, showing it understands survival. The ocean, vast and teeming, holds more life than land, and water itself is life. Wherever water exists, the divine presence persists as life. Upon waking, one must remember one’s humanity to avoid purposeful killing. Those who slaughter animals are not truly human; only inadvertent harm is excusable. Rākṣasas and Devas share form but differ in awareness and conduct. The yugas cycle—Satya, Tretā, Dvāpara, Kali—returning eternally. Sanātana Dharma is this timeless order, not splintered creeds. Religion means realizing one’s relationship with the source, not claiming “my religion.” Such division began in Tretā Yuga as life was destroyed. In Kali Yuga, destruction deepens, and Śiva’s balance must be invoked. Śiva alone is unborn, deathless, the origin of Brahmā and Viṣṇu. God is not a form but the energy and protection pervading all. If God manifests, it is through the five sheaths of being. “Water is life. Wherever there is water, there is God.” “Realizing your relation is the religion.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Do not eat meat

Evening prayer brings teachings on yoga and compassion, emphasizing dietary discipline and protection of all beings. Yoga is the science of humans, given by God. God commanded to give everything and follow divine instruction. God did not permit eating animal meat. Humans are provided different nourishment. The corona waves passed and many in many countries abandoned alcohol, meat, and eggs. People now seek vegetarianism and veganism. Vegans refrain from destroying or disturbing animals. Every mother produces milk for her young. Taking milk excessively from cows and buffaloes is wrong. Taking honey from bees and feeding them sugar water is not right. Vegan understanding spread from yoga teachings fifty-one years ago. Western people learned and now avoid killing animals. Indians were traditionally vegetarian, but now many eat meat, fish, and eggs, causing suffering. Western countries show more cancers; before death, there is suffering. Real yoga students bring yoga back to India, teaching no alcohol, tobacco, eggs, or meat. Yoga is for all, beyond the body, requiring movement further to protect animals and vegetation. "God said, 'I did not give you to eat the meat of the animals.'" "Do not take alcohol, do not take anything, tobacco, no eggs, no meat." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Guru is only one

The Guru, mantra, and spiritual practice are essential in Kali Yuga. This age is marked by anger and disease globally. Those following a sattvic diet and yoga practice remained healthy, as research shows. The science of yoga provides protection. Mantra practice is paramount, and the mantra given by one's Guru is fundamental. The Guru's word is the true essence, not the physical form. One must not seek a second initiating guru, though one may listen to all saints. All life originates from the same source, like drops from one ocean. Spiritual progress requires meditation, mantra, and adherence to the Guru's word. "Only one guru you have, your guru." "Do not think of the body of the guru... that mantra which is given by the guru is like a seed planted in your body." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Bhajan singing in the Jadan Ashram

The promise to the divine must be fulfilled. A vow made to the Guru and the Lord is an absolute commitment that defines the spiritual path. This promise is the essence of devotion and the means to liberation. The devotee's role is to uphold this word above all else, regardless of the coming and going of other followers. The ultimate aim is to realize one's divine nature, supported by grace. Fulfilling this sacred promise is the core duty. "He has to keep his promise to the Lord."

Maha Shivaratri satsang

Yoga is union with the divine through unwavering devotion. Shiva embodies liberation, formless and all-pervasive. He is the root of the sacred syllable Om. He transcends the three states and the three gunas. He is the substratum of the cosmos. His throat is stained blue by the world's poison. The crescent moon adorns his matted locks. His rhythm sustains and dissolves creation. His third eye incinerates desire and ignorance. He is the refuge of all realms. Devotional surrender grants lasting peace. Chanting his names purifies the mind. The mind absorbed in his lotus feet finds rest. He is the inner self hidden in all beings. Rituals are outer symbols of inner worship. Constant remembrance is the highest yoga. "Namāmi Samīśān Nirvāṇa Rūpam, Vibhum Vyāpakam Brahma Veda Svarūpam."

Blessings from the Kumbha Mela

A pilgrimage reveals the divine within and around us. A journey to the Kumbh Melā offers a profound experience of high vibration and collective spirituality. Witnessing the procession of saints and connecting with thousands of devotees creates a beautiful exchange of energy and blessings. Bathing in the Gaṅgā River allows one to feel its divine, feminine energy. The event symbolizes the eternal churning within, the struggle between divine and base qualities, from which the nectar of immortality emerged. True pilgrimage, however, is found at the Guru's feet, where the real Gaṅgā of blessing flows. The ashram itself becomes the real Kumbh Melā, a concentrated field of grace from the Guru lineage. "It was very, very beautiful, very high vibration, very colorful—so many people." "The real Kumbh Melā happens actually here in this very āśrama... All that energy... is channeled within this only place here." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Kumbha Mela 2021

The essence of devotion is the continuous flow of consciousness toward the divine feet. All Vedas and scriptures ultimately speak only of that Name. The Guru is the boat to cross the ocean of illusion. The Lord, an ocean of grace, takes human form for the sake of the world. He is the cause of the individual soul, the Lord who is the ultimate cause. Seek refuge through song and praise. "All Vedas and scriptures ultimately speak only of that Name."

In the service of Gurudev

A heart's plea for grace to make life meaningful and for transformation into a selfless lover. The mind does not know what to do, creating nothing of its own. Life is spent in worldly attachments, day and night seeking personal gain, enduring sorrow for pleasure. The plea is for such compassion that life is not known as useless. The mind has tried many things but has built nothing of its own. The call is to become a selfless lover, a brother to the world, with the heart filled with all beings. The aspiration is to be made into a knower of bliss. "He na te ab to aisī dayā ho, jīvan nirarthak jāne na pāyī." "Apne ku niṣkām premi banāu, ko chāu pāu sansār kā bhāī."

Yoga comes from God Shiva

The corona is like a snake that strikes during rest, exhaling poison. The five sheaths structure human consciousness. Annamaya is the food body. Prāṇamaya is the life force. Manomaya is the mind, which moves faster than light. Desires lodge in the mind and surface in dreams. The ice cream dream shows this: a man denied ice cream later dreams of eating it, only to wake just before tasting. Kabir says the mind’s cravings survive the body’s death. Vijñānamaya is the intellect. Ānandamaya is the bliss sheath, reachable through yoga. Yoga is the science given by Śiva, beyond postures. Bhramrī Prāṇāyām is the best technique for the brain. A rākṣasa once chased Śiva until Viṣṇu, as a dancer, tricked the demon into self-destruction. This shows how discrimination defeats desire. The world is a manifestation of light. Vigilance remains essential against the corona. The mind can bind or liberate. Yoga dissolves deep impressions. "Man marā na mamatā marī, mar mar gayī śarīr, aisī tṛṣṇā nahīṁ gayī kahā kabī."

In the end everything will be counted

Yoga is a science for human well-being. Observing practitioners during the pandemic revealed that those maintaining a vegetarian lifestyle within a specific community were largely unaffected, unlike many general yoga practitioners. This points to lifestyle's role in health. Yoga's techniques, like Brahmari Prāṇāyāma, are often derived from nature. This practice uses a humming breath to create internal vibrations, addressing issues like headaches and tension. It requires correct posture and breath from the navel. Practice is foundational, but yoga extends beyond physical techniques to a deeper connection within. The true guide removes obstacles, allowing inner potential to unfold, and does not claim the role of doer. "Those who were not eating eggs, meat, alcohol, drugs, etc., they were not affected." "Brahmari Prāṇāyāma affects the whole body. The inner vibration can restore the health of the body itself." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The Song of This Sacred Land

The sacred land and its spiritual essence are the theme. This land's language and song are profoundly beautiful. The water here is the Āhavik River. India is India, and its sages and seers are the country, like the Himalayas. Śiva has created everything and resides within all. There are 8.4 million life forms, yet humanity's true nature is now unknown. The ages cycle, and the current Kali Yuga is made difficult by pandemic disease. Observing disciples worldwide reveals that those maintaining a sāttvik diet, avoiding meat and alcohol, were not affected by the pandemic, unlike others. The peace and prosperity of the country will be restored, making India like the sages again. True yoga is not merely āsana and prāṇāyāma; it is a deeper spiritual practice currently absent.

Love animals, vegetation and Earth

The onset of a powerful Kali Yuga brings global suffering, primarily due to human actions. Humans torture and consume other creatures, causing widespread disease and imbalance. This pandemic particularly affects those who are not sattvic. The entire Earth, our mother, is suffering from human cruelty and chemical interference. In this age, the guidance of the true Guru is essential to dispel darkness. The Guru paramparā originates from the divine. All who teach us good are gurus, leading us from ignorance to light. Sattvic living and practice provide protection and clarity. "Humans are torturing all other creatures, animals; it is unbelievable." "Guru is the one who brings out the light from the darkness."

Try to live in a natural way

Satsaṅg and disciplined living are foundations for spiritual and physical well-being. An eight-month Anuṣṭhāna was completed, a period of residence with daily satsaṅg and spiritual practice. This occurred at a Sattva āśram, a pure place established for decades where many have come to practice. The holiness originates from ancient spiritual lineage. Satsaṅg is the gathering of truth with spiritual companions, fostering happiness. Historical guidance from masters emphasizes simple, disciplined living. This includes dietary discipline: eat only when truly hungry, avoid tea and coffee, and consume pure foods. Modern habits of constant eating and improper foods lead to illness. True health comes from eating moderately, drinking water, and leaving space in the stomach. Practice silence, maintain personal space in communal living, and focus on spiritual practice. The recent global situation, while difficult, allowed for sustained spiritual focus and family connection at home. Ultimately, cultivate a life free from anger and negativity through disciplined practice and satsaṅg. "Without bhakti, without satsaṅg, one feels a little bit alone." "Eat half, drink one quarter water, and leave the other quarter empty. Then our health will be the best." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Human Path: Family, Culture, and Daily Yoga

The human path integrates family, culture, and daily spiritual practice. Recent times brought families physically together, revealing a prior separation as children moved away for study and work, leading to a loss of cultural continuity. Modern life further separates parents from children, who are often left in others' care. One parent should be present to impart culture and religion. The family home should be peaceful, without conflict or harmful habits. The pandemic reinforced being together, though it brought hardship. It is a time to maintain cultural and religious practices. Yoga in Daily Life teaches a pure, vegetarian lifestyle, which is the science of being human. To be a yogi is to first be human. The daily practice begins upon waking: acknowledge being human, honor the earth and your mother, and use water reverently as it is life and divine. Greet others with sacred recognition. Your workplace is also a family. Live as a lamp for your family. A true guru guides the soul to the cosmic self, beyond mere skill instruction. Holy figures should be respected in complete form. "Yoga is the science of the human being. To a yogī, that is it. You are a yogī. If you want to become a yogī, you have to become a human." "Water is life... water is God. We should not destroy water or spill it here and there." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Hatha yoga kriyas

Haṭha Yoga consists of six purification techniques, not merely postures. These kriyās use water, air, and fire to purify the physical body and the five kośas, allowing the inner light to shine. The goal is to balance the two main forces, Iḍā and Piṅgalā, uniting them in the ājñā cakra. Practical techniques begin with Jala Neti, using warm salt water to cleanse the nasal passages, followed by Kapālabhāti to energize and massage the brain. Vamana Dhauti purifies the stomach with salt water, while Agnisāra Kriyā and Nauli stoke the digestive fire. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana cleanses the entire intestinal tract. Trāṭaka, or steady gazing, develops one-pointed concentration. These practices refine the senses and build willpower, serving as a foundation for deeper meditation and self-realization. "Haṭha Yoga is actually these six specific techniques, performed to purify something within our body." "All these five kośas are to be purified and made crystal clear, so the light of the Ātmā shines through." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is not complete without Guru

Yoga is now widespread, but a misconception has arisen that it is only āsanas and prāṇāyāma. In focusing solely on these, many have lost sight of their true purpose, practicing something akin to acrobatics instead. This acrobatic display is not yoga. True yoga connects body, mind, and spirit to the cosmic. Many pursue acrobatics, with their activity containing perhaps only 25% yoga. Yoga comes from the yogīs, and the yogī is Śiva. We must recognize the foundation brought by great sages. To engage in real yogic practice, you must have your master, your yogic guru. Some now reject gurus, becoming disconnected from right principles. Our "Yoga in Daily Life" system offers a complete path, encompassing deeper spiritual knowledge and the grace of the Guru. Sādhanā, or practice, is everything in life. When you practice sādhanā in everything, you will attain liberation. We need the Guru's grace to progress. "Yoga is the science connecting the human being—body, mind, and spirit—to the cosmic." "Sādhanā means practice—various kinds of practice. Preparing food, cleaning your room, washing clothes, gardening—all this is sādhanā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The sound of Bhramari is always with us

The Supreme Reality is the form of sound, Nādarūpa Parabrahma. All existence emerges from this primal vibration. The universe itself is this sound. Our own essence is a resonance of it, which is also the Guru. This sound creates all form. We engage with this through practices like Brahmārī prāṇāyāma, which purifies one's energy over a lifetime. The vibration of Brahmārī is continuous, persisting through death and into different lives. Concurrently, one must walk the path of sādhana, or spiritual practice. This involves discernment between truth and untruth, and releasing worldly attachments. We collect many things, but at death, everything is lost. There is a cycle where beings consume each other, but humans should strive to break this through conscious practice. The goal is mokṣa, liberation from this cyclical existence. "From this sound, everything emerges, just as salt comes from the ocean." "Sādhana is not only money, clothes, house, and this. Similarly, purification for humans—we have to be very, very careful."

Purify your body

Yoga is one, with many branches from a single root. Purification of the body is the essential first step, known as Hatha Yoga. This is not merely postures but constant cleansing. Techniques like neti cleanse the nostrils, while practices like Śaṅkha Prakṣālana purify the stomach. These acts of purification are the six traditional techniques. Hatha also signifies the necessary force in practice, illustrated in life's simple resistances. True practice requires this disciplined force to achieve purity, preparing one for deeper spiritual work. "Yoga is just one. From it, there are so many branches, like one tree."

The Roots of Destiny and the Vajranāḍī

The Vajranāḍī is the foundational root from which life unfolds, like a tree dependent on its hidden roots. Shallow roots cannot withstand storms, while deep, searching roots ensure strength and sustenance. Destiny is written at birth by Vidhātā, an inescapable power. A story illustrates this: despite a king's efforts to arrange a grand marriage for his daughter, she ultimately weds a disabled street sweeper, fulfilling her written destiny. Just as a tree's roots blindly seek water, our lives follow a pre-written course. However, a true Guru possesses the power to alter this destined path. Our roots and spine are like the Vajranāḍī, with branches spreading through the body. "Destiny is in this pencil. I can only hold this, and it will write what comes out." "Destiny is very clear. It is like where you throw the stone, it will go there where it should go." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Follow your human dharma

The human purpose is to follow dharma, the path of good, and avoid adharma, the path of evil. Dharma means causing no harm to any creature, including not killing for food. Adharma begins with harmful speech and actions, leading to the cycle of violence where creatures devour each other. Humans are meant to be above this animal behavior. Our life is given to find God's path, not for mere eating. God resides within the heart; causing trouble first afflicts our own inner divinity. Hell is not a separate place but exists here as cruelty. Proper human sustenance is from fruits, seeds, and milk—a gift from motherly sources like the earth, the cow, and our own mother. Killing animals for food or consuming their embryos is a grave sin that contradicts our spiritual nature. Yoga's true purpose is not just health but to turn the mind toward the God within. Practice prāṇāyāma to purify the lungs and sustain life force. Avoid harmful substances and excessive consumption. Support a life of non-violence and purity. "Dharma means to do good. This includes all creatures: we should not give them trouble or kill them." "Human life is given for dharma, not for adharma." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Everything is within ourselves

Awakening arises from within, yet guidance reveals it. Practice is the inner science, not external. Many remain asleep within the body. A teacher awakens this latent knowledge. All potential exists within the human form, but mastery requires time and instruction. For instance, one may possess a flute, but only a master's breath produces music. Similarly, learning to drive requires a teacher's guidance before one can drive alone with confidence. True mastery demands constant alertness to all directions, both in driving and in yoga. The practice involves awakening the five sheaths of the body. One may practice even between sleep and waking, as sound and vibration resonate through the entire being. "The yogīs said you have everything here on the earth, in this whole globe, in the space above, and further." "Awakening is within our self, but that someone informed us."

Bhramari practising and meditation

Bhramarī Prāṇāyāma is practiced before meditation to create resonance. The technique moves vibration through the body and chakras, harmonizing the nervous system and concentration. First method: close ears with thumbs, place fingers on temples, keep lips closed and teeth relaxed. Move thumbs rhythmically inward and outward, releasing all tensions for deep peace. Second method: place fingers behind the head where neck meets skull, palms covering ears. Maintain equal pressure on teeth, close lips, and pump palms gently. This opens resonance through the brain, dissolving forehead tension and headaches. Practice three or four times only, then rest. After about fourteen minutes, begin meditation on the resonance. Sit with closed eyes, let the Guru Mantra flow internally. Feel the vibration in the breath, heart, chakras, and spinal column. Finally, rub palms, place them on the face, and open eyes. This practice aids sleep problems and tiredness, but avoid excessive sleep. "Bhramarī Prāṇāyāma is one of the finest prāṇāyāma techniques. Its vibration travels through the entire body, bringing harmony to our nervous system, knowledge, thinking, and concentration." "Tensions leave the forehead; even a kind of headache goes away." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Feel the confidence and God will help

Confidence is the thread that holds our spiritual life together. Begin and end each day by turning inward, surrendering all actions to the divine. This surrender brings peace and freedom from fear, for one knows the indwelling Self can never be taken away. Confidence is not a fleeting emotion but a state of oneness, like milk and water merging. All activities are like beads on a fragile thread; without the knot of confidence, the thread breaks. All beings are sustained by one God, just as all citizens belong to one country and all raindrops return to the ocean. Disputes arise from duality, forgetting that all is one. The practice of faith, like the prostration in prayer, allows one to see the unseen reality. "Anyone can take from my hands, but not from my jīvā, my ātmā." "Eko brahma dvitīya nāsti: one Brahman, there is no second." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We should turn again to God

Turning inward through faith and meditation is the call of Kali Yuga. Natural disasters and family disturbances signal the severity of this age. The best path is to turn to the cosmic through prayer. All religions hold value, yet the living dharma sees many gods abiding in one God. Worship varies within a single family—one prays to Śiva, another to Hanumān—yet respect unites them. True faith is inner feeling, not outward imitation of ritual. God resides within, at the heart, the forehead, and the subtle centers. Meditation turns awareness inward to that divine presence. Bhramari Prāṇāyāma gradually opens the heart and lifts consciousness. The sound of Om, chanted from the navel upward, is the vibration of God, Nādharūpa Parabrahma. Sit comfortably, close the eyes, and bring focus within. Chant Om from the navel, traveling to the Anāhat, Viśuddhi, Bindu, and Sahasrāra, then return. Let breath and sound align the Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā. In Kali Yuga, holding onto one trunk—the inner divine focus—provides protection. Sudden fear immediately turns the mind to God, revealing the innate connection. Constant remembrance through daily pūjā and prayer is essential. The path is not outward; be thyself, and find the Self within. "Many gods abide in the one God." "That sound, that vibration, is God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

There is God in your instruments

The human life is for spiritual practice to realize the divine within. Practice brings harmony to the family and peace to the individual. Perform daily rituals, remember the divine name, and live with gratitude. This life may be the final opportunity to complete one's purpose and attain the supreme. Many techniques exist, but disciplined practice is essential. Do not teach a method until you have fully mastered and experienced its results yourself. True mastery comes from dedicated practice over time, where the practitioner becomes an instrument of a higher power. The path of sound, like in Brahmari Pranayama, holds immense power to connect with the ultimate reality. "God is within your heart. The most important thing is to perform sādhanā."

Practising bhramari pranayama techniques

Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma is a practice for balance and deep release from tension. We have focused on this practice. Several techniques are given. One uses the index fingers with elbows at shoulder height. Another involves thumbs in the ears with fingers on the temples. The teeth are either pressed together or kept relaxed. The vibration travels from the throat, behind the palate, and out through both nostrils. This resonance balances the flow in both channels. Practice for a short duration, just three repetitions. It releases the day's accumulated tension, leading to lightness in the head and improved sleep. The aim is to achieve an even vibration across both hemispheres of the head. Do not over-practice. The state achieved should be neither loose nor tense, like a properly adjusted mechanism. "The vibration comes to the nostrils. The resonance comes to the throat, immediately goes above, and from there inside, the sound comes back to our nose." "This practice gives a very, very deep release. Sleep well, and you will have good dreams." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We should control ourselves

Yoga encompasses many paths, not merely postures or breath. The desire to practice must arise from within, never from force. God grants immense knowledge and freedom to choose, yet certain boundaries exist. Choosing negativity leads one away; choosing goodness aligns with the cosmic. Many yogis have researched inner techniques, all aiming for the same center despite different approaches. The practice of Brahmari Prāṇāyāma is a powerful technique for the brain, promoting coolness and resonance. It draws from natural sounds, like those in water or wind, and from observing creatures like bees and termites. This practice influences the subtle nerve system, offering potential relief. Always consult a doctor for serious conditions and let personal feeling guide your practice. "God said, 'I give you everything. You should know good or bad.' Yet, which path you take is your power."

The human journey is a progression toward cosmic consciousness, a long path where each step is significant. All creatures strive to reach the human stage, which is a fortunate birth. The unique human gift is the capacity for complex language and a developed brain, a cosmos within which divinity can be found. However, this potential is locked when misused. The mind holds immense power; it can instantly create destruction or cultivate goodness. Desires persist even as the body perishes, binding one to the cycle of rebirth. Humans must use their gifts rightly, avoiding harm to other creatures and purifying their inner thoughts. "God has given all creatures to humans, no matter from which part of the earth."

The Practice and Significance of Brahmari Prānāyāma

Brahmari Prānāyāma is a profound practice for inner balance and sound vibration. This practice involves specific techniques with the lips closed. First, place index fingers gently in the ears with teeth together. A second technique relaxes the teeth slightly apart. The sound and vibration originate from the navel and permeate the head. Sit straight in Vajrāsana or with a straight spine on a chair. The practice balances the body's energy and chakras. It draws awareness inward, away from external sounds. Share these techniques freely for well-being. "Observe from which direction this sound travels." "The sound originates from the navel." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Keep your heart and turn towards the Cosmic

A universal prayer and the practice of Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma are offered for global peace and spiritual unity. The world faces widespread difficulty, yet all paths lead to the supreme cosmic Self. Yoga is an ancient science beyond physical exercise, encompassing the divine soul. Humanity must remember its shared origin, like a single seed that becomes a tree with many identical fruits. Modernity has lost this natural continuity, reflecting the discord of the present age. The solution is to turn inward, for the entire cosmos exists within the human body. The practice of Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma is a specific technique to harmonize internal energies. It is named for the bee and involves creating a humming sound to purify internal channels and quiet the mind. This practice can alleviate internal sounds and headaches, guiding one toward inner peace. "Eko brahma dvitīya nāsti. There is only one, that is one, and if there are two, there is duality."

Bhramari and bhramari pranayama

Brahmari Pranayama balances the nervous system and refines the voice. This practice is derived from the bee known as Brahmari. The female bee constructs a nest with intricate passages. She captures a specific worm and places it inside. She nourishes it until it develops wings and emerges as a new bee. The yogic practice mimics this process of internal transformation through sound. One method involves gently biting the teeth together. This directs resonance to the temples, balancing the Ida and Pingala nerve channels. It alleviates certain tensions and improves speech. Another method keeps the lips closed but the teeth apart. This directs energy upward toward the crown chakras. Both techniques significantly benefit singers and speakers by refining vocal quality and release. Practice should be avoided during an active headache. "The sound goes from our ears and comes back here to the temple area." "This prāṇāyāma balances both nerve systems, Iḍā and Piṅgalā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Bhramari pranayama can help against many problems

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. In reality, yoga is one but it has many branches and names. Yogis usually gave the names of animals to the positures because they don't want to come back to the world in the body of that animal. There are also many kinds of kriyas, Some of them are hatha yoga kriyas. There is a big misunderstanding in the western world about hatha yoga. Vajra nadi controls our all nerve systems. Practise every day and go step by step. Pranayama has also many technics. Breathing is happening also towards our skin. The story about a France king and girls covered with gold. Explanation and demonstration of one kind of Bhramari pranayama.

God takes care of everything

The divine support is ever-present, regardless of human recognition. Many have turned to spiritual practice, seeking more than physical techniques. Yoga encompasses the entire path outlined in scriptures like the Bhagavad Gītā. In times of difficulty, people instinctively turn towards a higher power. This power sustains all life, from the smallest creature to the largest. It provides for every being impartially. Therefore, one's identity should not be confined by religion or practice. True teachers guide from shared understanding, not from a claim of personal divinity. Historical spiritual figures worked within life's challenges. The feeling of divine absence during hardship is a misunderstanding; support is most intimate then. The present moment is what we have for practice and joyful living.

The Guru will never die

The many forms of yoga are a beautiful garden of diverse flowers, all leading to the same truth. All teachers and techniques are valuable parts of one whole, like different children of the same parents. Harmony among all paths is essential; we must unite in Satya Yoga. The Guru's blessings are eternal, transcending the physical body. Criticizing other paths reveals a burning heart and causes inner harm. Modern medicine and ancient wisdom both have their place in preserving life. The soul is attached to the body but seeks release. Specific practices like Brahmari pranayama use sound to heal and awaken the system through careful, gradual practice.

Gurudev is the servant of everyone

Humility recognizes divine provision over personal pride. God feeds all creatures, from the elephant to the ant. Human effort is acknowledged, but the source is divine. Spiritual practice requires full immersion in the guru's grace, like entering an ocean, not merely testing the water. Jealousy and separation hinder this unity. The inner science of yoga involves knowing the body's subtle systems, such as the 72,000 nerves, and purifying the mind from negativity. Liberation is rooted in the guru's grace, with meditation, worship, and mantra centered upon the guru. "Do not be proud that you feed everyone. No. It is God. He feeds everyone, from the elephant to the ant." "Liberation has its root in the guru's grace. Otherwise, you may go to this yogi and that yogi, running here and there like a lost deer."

Gurudev is always with you

God's presence is a constant companion through all of life's changing paths. Nature displays God's endless blessings through shifting seasons and beauty, which we absorb in meditation. In that inner temple, we invite God to awaken within our consciousness. This meditation brings a profound joy, where the Guru's likeness and essence appear within, becoming one with the divine. Human life progresses through stages: the infant's contentment, the child's toys, the search for partnership, and the duties of family. Eventually, weariness sets in, and one may feel that nothing of substance remains, like spitting out a seed after eating the fruit. A story illustrates this companionship: a devotee walking with God questions why God seems absent on the difficult, thorny path. God explains, "My son, at that time, I was holding you in my hands, in my palm... I was protecting you." When the path is easy again, God walks beside him. Thus, God never leaves, even during tests. The feeling of absence is an illusion. Surrender to the Guru is essential, likened to giving one's head, though even complete surrender is said to be insufficient. The disciple must continually gaze toward the Guru's feet, the guiding moon. "When there were the thorns and the stones, and the heat... at that time, I was holding you in my hands." "This body is... like the poisons. But Gurudev is amṛt, nectar." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Miracles are in our service

The grace of the Guru manifests through selfless service and faith, not the pursuit of miracles. A true teacher serves all without distinction. After a gathering, the teacher ensured latecomers were fed first, personally serving them sweet food. In another instance, a small amount of food was made to feed hundreds after the teacher covered the pot with a shawl, demonstrating that faith provides abundance. "When you have all eaten and your stomach is full, my stomach is also full." "Why are you thinking that we don’t have? We have, Guru has." Miracles occur naturally around the sanctified but are not to be sought. A story tells of a man healed of leprosy through an herbal purgative and a mantra. He later, through simple faith in that herb, helped others find lost animals, reconcile a marriage, and even cause an invading army to retreat by serving them the same purgative. This illustrates that devoted service itself is the miracle. Seeking special powers leads to difficulty. "They don’t make miracles, but the miracle is there." Contentment and selfless action are the true paths. Hold to the teachings. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Be kind to all creatures

The holy seat and the well-digger teach humility and steadfastness. In every tradition, a holy chair symbolizes spiritual authority. The one who sits there must not claim to be higher. True spirituality begins with love for all beings, protecting animals, not killing. Physical activities and yoga lead to relaxation. Then meditation extends peace to others. When disaster strikes, the heart opens to all humanity. This shared feeling elevates consciousness. Through prayer and practice, one deepens step by step. A worthy person is like a tree giving shelter and fruit. To reach that, steadfastness is essential. A disciple wandered from guru to guru seeking quick moksha. He grew bitter and returned to his first teacher. The guru asked him to dig a well, changing the spot daily. After twelve shallow holes, no water came. The guru said had he dug deep in one place, he would have found water. So too, staying with one path brings spiritual depth. “Little children are very pure; they have no negativity, and that is why it is said, ‘Little children are like God.’” “If, during those twelve days, you had dug continuously in one place, you would have brought me water here.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

There is nothing higher than the Guru

The Guru principle is supreme, greater than all divine forms. Even Rāma and Kṛṣṇa bowed to their gurus. God is one, present in every particle. Yet, to know this, a guru is essential. The guru is not merely a physical body but the living principle of knowledge. All cosmic deities are subordinate to the Satguru. This principle is complete and unchanging, unlike the cyclical full moon. Many seek but few find the true Guru, while the insincere suffer for ages. A true guru can be a householder or a renunciant; the form is secondary to the essence of the teaching. "Who is greater than Bhagavān Rāma and Kṛṣṇa? They must be guru-keen." "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvarāha, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Guru Ve Namaḥa." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The real Human

The unity of all life encompasses every soul, from the largest creature to the invisible microbe. Different cultures and landscapes exist, yet all life is interconnected. Yoga practices like āsana are not enough; one must elevate other lives by becoming lower in oneself. The earth is entirely living, full of unseen beings. The spiritual journey involves moving from the root chakra upward and downward in a cycle, not seeking only height. True human quality is found in humility and service, not in jealousy or anger. The majority of people are essentially good and generous. The body is a temple containing the divine and all life, so one must avoid harming even the smallest creatures. "We should go to other souls, other jīvas, other bodies, other lives. We should become lower in ourselves and let all others come up." "In your whole world, any country, any religion, you have so many good people." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

There is no greater love than the love of the Mother

The Guru's grace is the supreme principle, beyond all deities. The Earth is our first mother and must be honored before any action. Upon waking, acknowledge your humanity and ask permission to step upon the Earth. She awakens to protect her child. This respect is mirrored in the Earth-breaking ceremony for building a house, ensuring harmony. Farmers understand the right time to work the land. A mother's bond is ultimate; she gives everything and asks only for her child's presence at her death. The physical body returns to the Earth or fire. Do not keep dead beings in the home, as this invites disturbance. We are killing the Earth Mother with chemicals. Eat according to the body's intelligence, not mere taste. Those without a guru are incomplete. "Mother, can I step on you?" "Satguru is the eternal Brahmā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Overcome the fear

Fear is a universal obstacle that must be overcome to realize oneness. All living beings possess the same divine essence and experience fear, including animals who are often afraid of humans. Humans claim spiritual knowledge yet remain bound by fear of loss, pain, and death. Even skilled professionals and caregivers operate with underlying fear. The spiritual path requires transcending this fear through awareness and grace. A true guru embodies this fearlessness, providing refuge. Ultimately, merging into oneness dissolves all fear.

Body is the temple of God

The human body is the true living temple of God. All creatures possess this temple of life, for where there is life, God resides. The ultimate form of this temple is the human body. Humans must realize this divinity within and cease causing harm. Violence against other living beings creates an obstacle to the highest realization. Even in external temples, consecrated statues become vessels for divine presence through worship and mantra. Yet the primary focus must be the internal temple. The vital energy, or prāṇa, originates from the navel center. Through disciplined practice, one can channel this energy upward through the body's centers toward supreme consciousness.
