Meditation reveals your inner powers and leads to self-realization. It builds strength and immunity. The process begins with withdrawing the senses from external objects, known as pratyāhāra. Without this control, you are a victim of stress. Next is concentration, dhāraṇā, which requires discipline. These merge into meditation, dhyāna. Practice is essential; a gram of practice surpasses tons of theory. The aim is to realize God, which requires love. Worldly love is transient and brings pain. True, divine love allows you to endure all conditions. Meditation creates a protective barrier. It makes you secure from negative energies and leads to bliss. You are not the body, mind, or intellect. You are the eternal, immortal Self. Regular practice purifies your consciousness and harmonizes your entire system. "Meditation is the way to the Self." "You are Ātmā. But you have no experience of the Ātmā because you do not practice." Filming location: Kranj, Slovenia DVD 523

The soul journeys eternally through cycles of birth and death, seeking liberation. Life in this age is a struggle despite material comfort, for happiness eludes us. Ancient sages discovered the science of life and the universe's origin from divine sound. They found the same cosmic struggle between spiritual and negative forces within the human body. The eternal law dictates that all creation faces destruction. Only in human life can one find a guide and satsang, the good companionship essential for progress. Selfishness is the root of suffering. Self-realization is the goal: realizing the individual soul is the universal Self, freeing one from the prison of karma. Without this, one merely awaits death. "Yathā brahmāṇḍe tathā piṇḍe—what is in the universe is in this body." "Ātmā sohi Paramātmā. This Ātmā is the divine Self, the universal God." Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia DVD 521

Every being needs its own space, and that space in turn shapes us. An ashram is built as a place of active attraction for peace and contemplation, enabling renewal of health and self-recognition. This is made possible by yoga, the science of conscious movement and peace, requiring only the body, breath, and consciousness. The Guru is the bridge between the imperishable and the perishable, a being who lives for all. Sustainable projects, like a rainwater lake, bring life to the desert, symbolizing the blessing for the thirsty soul. The relationship between Guru and disciple is the most exalted, expressed through worship. True being is what a Guru is, an embodiment of supreme reality. Pilgrimage and service are expressions of this path. Protecting all religions and cultures is essential, while recognizing the unique role of India's spiritual tradition. Service to children, animals, and community is the practical manifestation of these teachings. The source of strength for all action is found in the practice of yoga and meditation. "Yoga is the science and art of conscious movement. It is the science and art of conscious peace." "The relationship between the Guru and the disciple is the most exalted, purest, and most meaningful on this planet." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India DVD 171

Behind the manifested world lies the divine existence, the only source of true fulfillment. Humanity's quest leads to a spiritual garden where life is served in all forms. A refuge protects all beings. Education is provided to dispel ignorance, granting knowledge and unity. The human quality must be valued beyond materialism. Self-discipline is the key to success. The Guru serves those seeking truth and liberation. On Guru Pūrṇimā, devotees gather in homage, their journey an expression of love. Students undertake the brahmacharya initiation, directing energy toward learning. The Guru's presence transforms the limited into the unlimited. A constructed lake harvests rain, turning desert into life. Pilgrimage follows the spiritual lineage, visiting sites saturated with the presence of great souls. The glory of the Guru is the divine self, a world where division is healed. Service to life flows from knowing the divine essence. "In very short, self-discipline is the key to success." "Guru Dev transforms bad into good, impure into pure, sick into healthy, the ugly into beautiful, the animal into human, and the human into divine." Filming location: Rajasthan, India DVD 223

Everything has a foundation; the spiritual foundation is Paramparā, the lineage of realized masters. This continuity provides stability for spiritual development. A master within this living lineage guides seekers to realization through presence, word, and blessing. The journey follows this lineage across sacred sites. An ashram in Rajasthan is becoming a universal symbol of unity, centered around a large stone Oṃ. It honors the lineage, houses a samādhi, and serves as a beacon. Other ashrams mark where masters lived and meditated, their presence still felt. These places are for pilgrimage, prayer, and acquiring knowledge to dispel ignorance. Education and healthcare are provided, recognizing the body as the soul's home. The ultimate truth revealed by this lineage is the one divine consciousness within all. "O frog, give up the attachment to this little pond, go and live in the endless ocean." "If there is no light of knowledge in your intellect, in your mind, in your consciousness, then you are in darkness." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India DVD 483

The supreme value is found in satsang and the Guru's grace. True peace and happiness are attained only through satsang and the company of saints, not through worldly pleasures. The grace of the Guru is the supreme auspiciousness, bestowing bliss and removing ignorance. Knowledge, which ends all sorrow, comes from the Guru and satsang. Without this knowledge and grace, one remains merely human in form but animal-like within. Austerity alone cannot grant the steadiness that a single moment of true satsang provides. Therefore, one must constantly engage in satsang, remember the Guru, and seek divine knowledge to transform life from animality to divinity. "Saints do not receive grace without the grace of the Lord." "Only the grace of the Guru is the supreme auspiciousness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India DVD 258

Life is a play between the light of consciousness and the darkness of unconsciousness. Human awareness exists in the shadow of this division, which is painful and creates the fear of mortality. The meaning of life is found only in Yoga, the return to eternal wholeness. The Kumbha Melā is a gathering dedicated to this immortality. The Gaṅgā river symbolizes a bridge from the transitory to the permanent. Yogīs are living proof of self-realization, guiding others as beacons. Saints are honored first to bless the waters, purifying them from mortality. All yoga methods aim to remove obstacles like weakness and ignorance from all layers of our being. Achieving balance allows a deeper experience of the Guru Mantra, the voice of oneness. The festival is a rare opportunity to practice under and meet great souls. True devotion manifests as purity and stability in one's master, forming a holy trinity with spiritual practice and service. This devotion inevitably pours out the Guru's grace. "Division is painful because it separates us from wholeness and leads us into the transitory." "All methods of yoga lead to one goal: the removal of obstacles on the path of realizing our own being."

The opening of Om Āśrama celebrates the guru, knowledge, and spiritual culture. This second anniversary marks the Pāṭotsava, an opening ceremony for this place considered a wonder. The core teaching is that purity of diet leads to purity of mind and body, which enhances memory and understanding. When one is pure, the divine principle manifests within. The ultimate knowledge is Brahmavidyā, found only in this land. True education must be coupled with cultural values and reverence, not merely academic degrees that can lead to destruction. The guru is the highest principle; from the guru comes the light that removes ignorance. Where a saint resides, there is eternal spring and bliss. "Āhāra śuddhi leads to sattva śuddhi. Sattva śuddhi means that this body, the physical body, will be as the food we consume." "There is nothing higher in this world than the guru; there is no one above the guru."

Musical recording.

I recently traveled to pay respects at the samādhi of a revered female ascetic. She was the first female Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara in our tradition, renowned for memorizing sacred texts from a very young age and receiving a title for it. She had a large spiritual family of disciples managing various ashrams. We shared a good connection from past meetings at gatherings and when she visited our Guru. Upon learning of her passing, I journeyed through the night to attend the funeral procession in Ahmedabad, which culminated in her burial at a chosen site outside the city alongside other senior ascetics. It was a full 24-hour journey of remembrance. "She was the first female Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara in our Akhāṛā." "Her wish was to have her samādhi in Hargośālā." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The unity of spiritual paths is our essential theme. Our world is filled with antagonism despite many claims to truth, making the search for common ground vital. We gather to explore personal journeys from diverse traditions, moving from initial focus on differences to discovering deeper similarities. Each path offers a unique doorway yet leads toward the same fundamental truths of connection and inner peace. The process involves moving beyond doctrine to shared human experience. By listening to each personal story, we see the convergence of all sincere seeking. This gathering itself is an expression of that unity. "When we first want to find a suitable path, we look at differences. Once on the path for a time, we perhaps start looking at similarities." "Silence is to the spirit what sleep is to the body—it is true rest and nourishment. Arriving in that silent place, a deep unity is achieved." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Satsaṅga on Divine Presence, Guru Tattva, and Surrender. Satsaṅga means the company of truth. When hearts of the same frequency gather, the atmosphere becomes divine. Real joy is not in external objects; it is within. The guru tattva is the one essence shared by all true masters. They are trikāla darśī, seers of past, present, and future. The mind seeks logic, but the guru’s guidance transcends it. Svadharma is your own duty; offer all actions without expectation. Surrender means giving your happiness, sadness, and problems to the guru. This is not blind faith; do your karma and let the results come. The greatest gift is the mālā, charged with the guru’s tapasyā. Each bead reconnects you to the divine. Have faith: you are not the doer. The guru is unconditional love, a paramahaṁsa. Oneness means all in one and one in all—everything manifests from the same source. Be loyal to your path while seeing unity everywhere. In surrender, peace arises. The bond with the guru is eternal, beyond all temporary relations. "Paramahaṁsa is love itself." "We are sitting in his heart, and he is sitting in our hearts."

This is a spiritual discourse on the essence of satsaṅg and the path to inner peace, delivered by a speaker from a guru lineage. The speaker explores the nature of true happiness, the importance of discernment (vivekā), and the integration of spiritual principles like the Yamas and Niyamas into daily life. Key themes include the choice between satsaṅg (gathering in truth) and kusaṅg, the role of a guru as a guide, and the practice of contentment and self-inquiry to overcome inner enemies like anger and jealousy. The talk emphasizes personal responsibility, the impermanent nature of problems, and the ultimate goal of liberation (mokṣa) through practices like mantra and meditation.

The relationship with the Guru transcends physical presence, sustained by inner connection and grace. External distractions during practice are insignificant; one must continue. The Guru's guidance is profoundly practical, directing actions and orchestrating events with foresight. Physical proximity is a blessing, but the inner bond is unbreakable. The Guru perceives all minds and prays for universal peace. Experiences confirm this guidance: prasāda transforms one's state, thoughts are known, and needs are met through synchronicity. When one surrenders personal control, a divine order emerges, arranging people and events perfectly. The focus must remain on dharma and one's practice, without entanglement in worry or gossip. The Guru's grace provides constant protection and inner answers. The lineage is a protective umbrella for all who follow the path. "Swāmījī reads the whole universe’s mind: all the creatures, all the planets... and he prays for three things: peace, peace, and peace." "If you realize you’ve got no chance of controlling this yourself, the web is being woven by Swāmījī, and people are where they need to be." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

This is a spiritual discourse on the eternal Guru-disciple bond and the path of surrender. "The bond of a Guru and disciple is one bond which is permanent, which cannot be broken," and "When Gurudev’s blessings and teachings are there, then the disciple is in ultimate bliss." A swami from the Siddhā Pīṭha paramparā addresses a gathering, explaining the rarity of a true Guru in Kali Yuga and tracing his spiritual lineage from the Himalayas. He emphasizes surrender, faith, and the Guru's grace, illustrating his points with teachings on the four yogas and personal anecdotes, including how a Guru's instruction can alter destiny. The talk underscores that the Guru is a guiding light who protects and elevates the disciple on the spiritual journey. Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The human birth is a precious opportunity not to be wasted in negativity, but used for spiritual progress toward liberation. We live in Kali Yuga, a challenging but fortunate time. The soul is permanent like the blue sky, while all experiences and the body are temporary passing clouds. Humans are drawn to negative gatherings, but must choose the positive company of truth. The goals of life are dharma, artha, and kāma; when integrated through righteous living, they lead to mokṣa. Liberation is not instant. The Guru dispels darkness. Use the tools given: mantra, mālā, and satsaṅg cultivate focus and awareness. Live in the present, performing each duty with concentration. Four blessings exist: the human birth, scriptural knowledge, the Guru's grace, and one's own grace to choose the path. All problems are creations of the mind and shall pass. Inner peace comes from realizing the true Self as the observer, not the doer, and uniting with the Divine. "Jīva Jīva Bhakṣate... which means jīvas eat jīvas." "This human life is very precious. We should not waste it." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Evening satsang from Wellington Ashram, New Zealand.

The journey is from the darkness of ignorance to the light of wisdom, from ego to humbleness, from jealousy to understanding, and from hate to love. This light is wisdom, love, forgiveness, and understanding; its absence is a miserable darkness. The causes of suffering are tamo guṇa and rajo guṇa, where they prevail, the body suffers. Where light, love, and understanding prevail, there is happiness and the entire being blossoms. People are either sajan, good and positive, or durjan, negative and destructive, dwelling in darkness. Humans can walk toward the light or pray for guidance. Festivals worldwide, though culturally varied, awaken love and the memory to forgive. All people are children of one God, citizens of one world. True friendship means wishing good and keeping promises, not abandoning one's path. Do not create conflict by insisting on "my religion, my culture"; cooperation ends suffering. Think positively so your entire being blossoms, otherwise you are like a spoon in honey that cannot taste it. The main thing is to be happy and together. "Lead us from darkness to light." "Where tamo guṇa and rajo guṇa prevail, there is the suffering of our entire body. But where there is love, understanding, and light, there is jyoti. There is happiness."

Human dharma is to protect, for dharma protects those who protect it. Dharma is not religion; it is duty and the inherent nature of elements. The dharma of fire is heat; the dharma of eyes is sight. Human dharma is to be a protector of environment, rivers, forests, and mountains. Nature, in turn, protects us. Blocking rivers with dams disrupts the natural flow, akin to blocking arteries in a body, causing harm downstream. Greed drives destruction through deforestation and chemical agriculture, which degrades soil and eliminates wildlife. Humans possess six eyes: two physical eyes to observe the world, two intellectual eyes for judgment and positive action, and two eyes in the heart. The heart's eyes awaken through spiritual practice, opening the Anāhata Chakra where Bhakti Devī resides, transforming energy into universal love and devotion. This devotion, not material attachment, sees God's beauty everywhere. Practice your mantra to awaken this inner resonance of sound, light, and energy. Do not claim spiritual greatness; true devotion is humble and acts without speaking. Fulfill your relational duties as a protector. Like a tree or rain that exists for all, awaken your heart for the sake of all beings. "If you protect the dharma, dharma will protect you." "Awake Bhakti Devī in the heart. Listen to the vibration."

Yoga is the principle that balances, harmonizes, and unites space and consciousness. Its author is Lord Śiva, who first manifested through the cosmic sound Oṁ and bestowed the science of Yoga Vidyā. This living tradition is transmitted from master to disciple; theory without practice is insufficient. The human body is a microcosm connected to cosmic energy through channels called nāḍīs. The primary channels are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā, governing energy, light, and resonance. The body's form reflects universal principles, with divisions like brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, and śūdra corresponding to the head, arms, trunk, and legs, illustrating inherent unity without untouchability. The heart center, the anāhata chakra, represents love without borders. It houses divine qualities like happiness and compassion, while lower centers contain limited, material desires. Awakening energy from the mūlādhāra chakra brings forth one's destiny and karma. This energy must be purified through centers like maṇipūra to reach the heart in a state of universal love. The ultimate aim is the merger of energy, resonance, and light into cosmic consciousness. This is achieved through practices like Kuṇḍalinī Yoga and specific kriyās, which involve bandhas to direct energy through the suṣumnā channel. Real yoga is a 24-hour practice of positive living, ahiṃsā, and love for all creatures, leading to self-realization. "Yoga is not only physical and breath exercises; it is that principle which balances, harmonizes, and unites space and consciousness." "Love is without boundaries—universal love, not individual love. The seat of the Ātmā is in the Anāhata cakra." DVD 500

Sound, light, and energy are the foundational principles for spiritual development and liberation. These three reside in the navel chakra, the maṇipūra. This chakra is vital for existence, balance, and vitality. Prāṇa and apāna meet there, providing the sole entry point into the suṣumnā nāḍī, the central channel of consciousness. Entering it requires purifying the chakras through techniques like nāda yoga, which automatically becomes kriyā yoga, awakening kuṇḍalinī energy. The ultimate aim is for the individual soul to realize its identity as the supreme Śiva consciousness at the sahasrāra chakra. This path demands constant self-guarding and purification from negative emotions like anger and jealousy, which attack the lower chakras. Mastering bandhas, especially mūlabandha, is crucial. It releases tension and guides energy upward, resulting in joy and liberation. Communication through sound and resonance connects us to divine knowledge. Those who understand this inner language are the true relatives. "Without nāda, without sound, there is no way." "Śiva means the cosmic consciousness that is Brahman, that is the supreme." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 499

The human body is a system of sound, light, and energy centered in the navel, the Maṇipūra Chakra. This triad constitutes cosmic resonance, consciousness, and power. Ignorance is darkness; knowledge is the light of wisdom that removes it. Energy, sound, and light flow through the iḍā, piṅgalā, and suṣumṇā channels. The physical body is guarded by fifty-two protective sound channels connected to the chakras. All actions create karma, which determines destiny in both the physical and astral worlds. Correct mistakes without fear. Through dedicated practice like Nāḍī Yoga, one purifies these centers, awakening the inner resonance. The journey within is endless. Begin by listening to the inner sounds of the body and senses. "Enlightenment means the wisdom through which everything becomes clear to you." "Every karma will have a reaction, and so destiny will lead your astral body." DVD 498

Yoga in daily life is a 24-hour path integrating all action with divine love and inner sound. Yoga means leading life according to its principles for all hours. This encompasses work, communication, and thought in a positive, healthy, and ethical way, opening the heart to all creatures. The divine love is within, given by God to be given to all. Every entity represents the light of God; all creatures are the self. This understanding guides life. The path includes humanitarian service without expectation. Selfish action with expectation yields temporary results or troubles. Selfless service yields lasting happiness and guides across lives. Do not count or claim your good deeds. The material world is transient; everything given will be lost. Look within to find what you truly seek. One bound by problems cannot liberate another. Liberation requires being free oneself. The divine sound, or Nāda, is the resonance within all existence, connecting the individual navel to the cosmic source. This sound is perceived through a positive life of respect, love, and silence, not through idle talk. "All creatures are myself. The ātmā is the divine self." "Where there is love, there is understanding. Where there is love, there is harmony. Where there is love, there is God." Filming location: Czech Republic DVD 497

Yoga is the disciplined, regular practice of spiritual techniques in daily life. The goal is to awaken cosmic energy and attain higher consciousness. Ancient yogis achieved this through sustained practice, attaining states where the astral body could travel consciously. In ordinary dreaming, the causal body acts but creates no binding karma. Conscious astral travel is different, allowing for real experience. The soul, however, remains bound by attachment and desires. Upon leaving the body, one fully experiences the consequences of attachments and broken vows, witnessing what one does not wish to see but can no longer influence. This is the suffering from moha, or ignorance. Therefore, purification of the mind's fluctuations through discipline is essential. Only with a purified consciousness can the chakras receive cosmic energy. Complete surrender to the divine is ultimate freedom from all bondage. "You may miss your meal, but do not miss your sādhanā." "When one completely surrenders, then you are free in the whole universe." Filming location: Rajasthan, India DVD 496

Yoga is the science of union, leading individual consciousness to cosmic consciousness through the guidance of the living Master. This guidance is the essential way, transcending any single incarnation. The disciple's harmony with the master is foundational; separation is a great tragedy. The ultimate goal is Self-knowledge. Inner peace and contentment are the true wealth, more valuable than all material possessions. Spiritual progress is tested through daily interactions designed to provoke anger or disturb peace. Passing these tests requires constant inner vigilance and the practice of forgiveness. The mind is like a foolish monkey that can destroy the garden of spiritual practice if one is not awake and alert. Therefore, observe the inner self continuously. "Yoga means union. Yoga means oneness, individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness." "The best wealth, the biggest wealth, is that contentment. When inside you are satisfied and have peace, then all money and wealth is just like dust." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India DVD 495

Guru Bhakti is complete devotion and attentive surrender to the master's teachings. True devotion requires paying absolute attention, swallowing every word immediately, like a duck catching food. Spiritual hunger must be satisfied through practice, creating a growing need akin to an addiction. Service without devotion is lifeless, like a plastic fruit; with devotion, it becomes the immortal nectar fruit. Service means receiving and propagating the master's wisdom, which requires keen interest and full concentration. Listening must engage both ears and eyes to grasp the complete meaning, as missing a single word can lead to error, like using the wrong fuel. Half-knowledge, from inattentiveness, causes harm. The essence of all mantras and scriptures is the master's word. One must humbly identify first as the disciple, keeping the guru's presence central in all activities. Spiritual longing is lifelong; perfection comes from steadfastly following one's own path and master. "Every word, every sentence that comes from the lips of the master must immediately be swallowed by the disciple's intellect." "Prem kā pyālā, Hari kab merā bhar se? ... I am a poor beggar at your door. When will you fill my pot?" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India DVD 494

The human birth offers a unique opportunity for liberation through following the Guru's word. Non-dualism declares one reality; duality is ignorance. The material world and the mortal body are not ultimate. The developed human heart and intellect can cultivate universal love and compassion, distinguishing human life. Greed, a human flaw, causes suffering, while animals lack such greed. The Self, the universal Ātmā, is the only important reality, distinct from the individual soul bound by karma. Meeting a Satguru is a supreme blessing, for the Guru is the ultimate holy place. Key full moon days provide a direct connection to the path of immortality. Success requires controlling the restless mind through discipline and adhering strictly to the Guru's instructions. Incarnations of saints come by free will, not karma, to guide those trapped in the prison of samsara. Self-realization, achieved through Guru's grace and service, leads to merger with Brahman, not a temporary heaven. All other pursuits lead one astray. Therefore, the sole aim is to follow the Guru's word. "Guru caraṇamay arsat tīrath hai, voh veda purāṇa gāte hai." "Dhyāna-mūlaṁ gurumūrti, pūjā-mūlaṁ gurupādam, mantra-mūlaṁ guruvākya, mokṣa-mūlaṁ guru-kṛpā." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India DVD 493

The human journey is from external turbulence to the heart's internal peace. The world's turbulence reflects the turbulence within the human mind and heart. Money is not lost; it merely circulates. Health lost is something lost, but character lost is everything lost. Human life is the most precious opportunity, given not for strife but to be a protector and to attain self-knowledge. The mission is to serve, help, protect, and achieve liberation from the cycle of rebirth. One must realize the self, the Ātmā, which is universal and one in all beings. Practice yoga as a 24-hour discipline to regain direction. Life is governed by dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa. Liberation is the goal. Begin now. The body contains energy centers, chakras, through which cosmic energy flows. The Anāhata, the heart chakra, is central. When awakened, it manifests qualities like joy, peace, and love. The self resides in the heart. All creatures share the same Ātmā. Therefore, there is no one to fight, cheat, or declare an enemy. We are one. "Money is lost, nothing is lost. Health is lost, something is lost. But if the character is lost, everything is lost." "All creatures, they are my ātmā, myself. Against whom should I fight?" Filming location: Celje, SLO DVD 489

The unlimited sound, Anāhada Nāda, is the cause of the universe. Each individual and every cell contains a universe. A self-realized one declares the entire creation exists within. Every thought is a universe, appearing and disappearing like a bubble. The heart chakra, Anāhata, is the essential anchor for the practitioner to avoid drifting away. Without a point of reference, one remains a small spark, suffering within the filter of the ego and the five bodies. Negative emotions pollute these bodies. Guidance from a true Master is required, but this relationship is based on devotion and trust, not intellect. The dissatisfied mind constantly seeks new things, lacking contentment. The heart chakra can regulate energy, but a firm decision for spiritual guidance is necessary. Sound originates in the navel, rises to color the heart, and is filtered through the throat chakra. A purified heart, immersed in devotion, transforms life into beauty and bliss. The journey involves purifying blocked energies to ascend towards liberation and immortality. "Stars, planets, and various parts of space roar. I am the one who has exhaled, and I hold everything as mine." "On the shore of the ocean of existence, the guru’s grace is the only means to cross; you can try thousands of other things in vain." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany DVD 486

Human life is distinguished by its capacity for self-realization and universal protection, not mere survival like animals. A question arises equating killing plants and animals. The response is to first adopt a vegetarian lifestyle to cultivate love, then discuss plants. All life, even in plants and stones, is sacred and must be respected. Vegetarianism, guided by the principle of Ahiṃsā, involves consuming what nature offers—like fallen fruits, nuts, grains, and milk—without causing harm. Consciousness evolves through stages from stone to human. Humans possess intellect, requiring proper education to develop positive consciousness and fulfill their role as protectors of all creatures. The universe originated from Śūnya ākāśa (void space) and Cosmic Consciousness, connected by Śakti (energy). Yoga is the science of reuniting individual consciousness with this universal source. The human mission is ātma-jñāna, self-realization. "My friend argues with me that killing animals is the same as killing plants." "Humans are created as protectors, not destroyers." Filming location: Umag, Croatia DVD 485

The Viśuddhi Chakra governs purification and expression. All energy centers are given for our well-being, but our way of life and thinking affect them. Human manipulation of nature and ourselves creates imbalance, disturbing these centers. Yoga is designed for universal well-being and is an immortal practice. Your life is in your hands; you must care for the system given to you. Develop human qualities and realize life's aim. Our own negative thinking is the primary source of disturbance, imprisoning us in fear and anger. Releasing tension, ego, and greed allows the Viśuddhi Chakra to function properly. This chakra is connected to Śiva consciousness and is a station of transformation. Practices like Vajrāsana and mantra help activate it. Deep breathing and the mantra "relax" can open it, bringing clarity. Pure love, as felt for a child, is akin to divine love and is essential for healing. "Never think like that. Accept. There is no other way." "Be the change you want to see." Filming location: Umag, Croatia DVD 484

Today marks the divine incarnation of Kṛṣṇa, a day of cosmic light and universal love. Among incarnations, Kṛṣṇa's was the highest. A future incarnation is awaited to remove the negative forces of this age. God incarnates whenever righteousness declines, to protect devotees and destroy negativity. Human greed now causes immense suffering. Kṛṣṇa's birth was amidst great peril, saved by divine intervention. His story illustrates the conflict between divine compassion and demonic qualities like anger and jealousy, which reside within people. The day signifies divine mercy and the hope for blessings. However, humans now manipulate nature, leading to suffering and imbalance. Destiny is shaped by one's own actions, and the cosmic law determines the soul's future journey. Spiritual development begins with cultivating pure desire and positive thought. One must choose the path of upliftment over distraction, fostering good for all. "Whenever righteousness declines and unrighteousness rises, I incarnate to protect the good, uplift dharma, and destroy negative forces." "Destiny is created by one's own self. Mother and father can give birth, but they cannot give you destiny." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 481

Āsana is a comfortable, steady seat for meditation, creating a protective personal space. Patañjali's Yoga Sūtra outlines a scientific path for self-mastery. The term āsana also refers to the mat or cloth one sits upon, ideally natural and personal. Physical postures, often called asanas, are psychosomatic movements to be practiced gently, differing from strenuous sport by conserving and generating energy. Their purpose is to prepare the body to sit motionless, allowing the mind to become still and withdrawn from the senses. This mastery leads to santoṣa, or contentment, the greatest inner wealth that renders all material possessions insignificant. True happiness arises from accepting one's destiny and surrendering all outcomes to the divine. The practice culminates in īśvara praṇidhāna, the surrender of everything to God. "Āsana means comfortable posture where your body feels comfortable." "When the santoṣa, the wealth, is awakened in your heart, then all other worldly wealth is dust for you."

The world is sustained by universal love, which flows through nature, saints, and spiritual practice. Without devotion, the heart is hard and one cannot truly help others. Human love is limited, but a greater love exists in all creation and through the blessings of holy beings. This planet is a family of the one Creator, made from the same five elements, so happiness and peace are universal rights for all beings. The path begins with satsaṅg, which purifies consciousness and awakens discrimination. Through satsaṅg, one learns to relinquish individual consciousness to merge with God consciousness. This requires overcoming destructive attachments like desire, jealousy, anger, and pride. Karma yoga, performed selflessly while remembering God, burns past karma and is essential. True devotion means wishing good for all, leading to oneness. "Without love, this world is just a dry rock." "Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion, the yoga of that universal love, means to wish good for all." Filming location: Gujarat, India DVD 479

Yoga is the practical solution to the inner restlessness and external problems of human life. The world is imperfect, but the true self, the Ātmā, is eternal and detached from all problems. Life is a changing journey, and attachment to this world is temporary. Great sages discovered a path through this mortal world back to oneness with the universal One. This path is yoga. Practice begins with physical postures, āsanas, done slowly to scientifically influence the body, the temple of the self. Next is breath, prāṇāyāma, which purifies and regenerates the body's systems, leading to relaxation and mental calm. Concentration follows, observing thoughts and actions without manipulation to improve memory and overcome fear. Meditation is a state of being where negativity is filtered out, supported by mantra. One must also manage diet, environment, behavior, and thoughts for self-protection. For restless energy, karma yoga or physical activity creates positivity. All problems originate within the individual; therefore, peace, health, and liberation begin with one's own practice and understanding. "Waves will be waves as long as there is motion, but one day those waves will merge into the ocean." "Peace begins from your own heart, and health begins from your own efforts, and realization will begin also with your own practice." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India DVD 473

The origin of existence is found within the heart. I found happiness near my master and realized oneness. The entire creation is like waves in the Supreme ocean; we must become one with it. We all search for our origin, which is love and true happiness. Worldly happiness is a temporary reflection. The origin is not found externally. It is within your breath, expressed as so'ham. Our life here is temporary, like checking out of a hotel. In meditation, the waves of emotion calm. We must surrender to a power greater than ourselves. Mantra practice purifies the inner instrument. The aim is Ajapa japa, where practice happens spontaneously like breath. The heart is our loyal friend and the location of the Ātmā, the eternal indescribable Self. Advanced practice leads to Bhāva Samādhi and then sahaja samādhi, where knower, knowledge, and object merge. In true union, like a drop in the ocean, there is no separation. One story tells of a king who tested his courtiers by entering savikalpa samādhi, appearing dead, to see if they would follow his final wishes. They planned to deceive him, proving their falsity. The lesson is to renounce and give. "Where are you searching me, oh my friend? I am with you." "The entire creation is the waves of the Supreme, and we have to become one with those waves again."

The essence of spiritual life is Bhāva, meaning devotion, emotion, and value. Your gain or loss is in the bhāva, not the object itself, just as profit comes from a gold price change, not the gold. Your bhāva toward God, master, and all relationships is your true power and wealth; if it fluctuates, you lose. Therefore, ensure your devotion grows daily. Spiritual life is a struggle where every step holds danger from negative thoughts and speech. Do not listen to, speak, or see negativity. Observe silence for protection. The greatest practice is Sevā Bhāva, selfless service without expectation, which merges with Prem Bhāva, unconditional love that radiates and cannot be hidden. Where love and service unite, God works for you, taking on the devotee's duty, as illustrated in the story of the devoted barber whose service caused divine intervention. Strive to realize these states. "Naफा bhāv meṁ hai, vastu meṁ nahīṁ. The benefit is in the price, not in the goods." "Prem chupāyā na chupāyī, prem kare prakāś. You cannot hide the love. Because love radiates." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 471

Ajapa Japa is the final stage of mantra practice, where it proceeds without effort. The mantra permeates consciousness and becomes a bīja mantra, functioning automatically within you. You will not see or feel your spiritual progress. If you feel spiritual and special, that is your ego. The humbler you are, the higher you rise. Pride in position or education is ignorance and ends progress. Be like a fruit tree whose branches bend down, allowing others to partake. If you hold authority, you should help others. Ego is a problem when it exceeds your position. You owe something to your motherland; help your people and do not forget your roots. You will not feel your development, but you will feel an increasing urge to practice. This is like an addiction, but to the divine, and it will not harm you. The essence of all paths is love. Earn divine prosperity, not just worldly wealth. The bīja mantra grows within and leads consciousness toward samādhi, where knowledge, knower, and object merge into oneness. This requires absolute discipline and practice. "I did not see the yogī meditating outwardly. So how is he a yogī? It is because the ajapa is functioning inside." "The more humble and lower you are, the higher you rise." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 470

The spiritual path requires a master's guidance and blessings to avoid the pitfalls of ego and negative influences. Beginning practice is itself a miracle, but progress demands humility. Disciples often mistakenly believe they no longer need guidance, akin to a driver dismissing a teacher. This error mirrors the story of Kaṁsa, whose inflated ego, fed by flattery, led him to betray his saintly father and ultimately suffer. Seeking blessings from parents or a guru is not about control but ensuring well-being and success. Modern rejection of this principle, like fixating on legal adulthood, contributes to widespread unhappiness and fractured families. Always consult and seek permission from elders; their blessing is a necessary protection. A stable relationship often blends partnership with parental care, and devotion means humble surrender. Even when a master says you know what to do, asking first secures the blessing that guides action. "One day they will be sorry. They did not understand what the guru principle is." "Anything I did, I always asked Holy Guruji... That was a permission and blessing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 469

The mind is the driving force, a principle distinct from common understanding. It is the coordinator between conscious and subconscious levels, translating sensory impressions into desires and expectations. This world is a creation of the mind; your reality appears as your mind wills. Happiness or loneliness are its games. If not given purposeful work, the mind becomes a destructive ghost, generating endless thoughts that cause suffering. The sense of "my-ness" (mamatā), along with longing and craving, are the roots of all trouble. Therefore, you must train the mind through mental mantra repetition. Use the mālā to keep it engaged, like commanding a ghost to climb up and down a tree—here, the spinal column. In meditation, direct the mind's ascent and descent along this axis. Without this discipline, the mind wanders to desires and restlessness, leading you into darkness. Practice the mantra continuously to find inner peace and overcome loneliness, for your true longing is to realize the Self. "mano mātra jagataḥ—the whole world is created out of the mind." "Mamatva he dukhaṅkā kāraṇa hai—this sense of 'my-ness' is the cause of many troubles." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 467

Mantra is a divine, potent energy requiring strict discipline and selfless intent. Mantra is the resonant source of life and liberation. Specific mantras exist for purposes like curing snake bites or relocating bees, but this wisdom is transmitted orally and requires pure, selfless service without any material exchange. If used for gain, the power vanishes. Spiritual powers, like walking on water, function only with humility and vanish with ego. Mantra practice begins with total discipline—physical, mental, and spiritual. You request a mantra; you never order it. Selfish or jealous intent ensures failure. Your destiny is pre-written by Vidhātā based on your karma, and no one, not even divine incarnations, is exempt from this record. Life is a river flowing between positive and negative banks toward the ocean of origin. Use mantra carefully, as you would a knife or fire, for it can heal or harm. Liberation comes through purification, positive thought, universal love, and forgiveness. "Therefore, mantras should be spoken in detail, in a beautiful way." "If you do not follow the principles, if you do not follow the Guruvākya (the Guru's word), then that wisdom will just disappear from you, as if you never had it."

Mantra, Śvara Yoga, and the nature of discipleship are interconnected practices. Each planet possesses a mantra for specific sādhanā during its influencing periods. Master one thing to master all; a single mantra, deity, and guru are the path. Mantra practice involves writing, singing, and silent repetition. Śvara Yoga sādhanā controls the breath flow through the nostrils, aligning with the iḍā and piṅgalā nāḍīs connected to the solar plexus. This practice removes fear and prepares consciousness. It requires knowing not only how but when to change the breath, just as a driver knows when to change gears. Incorrect practice can negatively affect the body. The process moves from the form of the letter, to the sound, to the inner resonance where the sound is recognized as the self. The story of the Brahmari wasp illustrates transformation through sound. The wasp finds a worm and, through repeated injections and the constant sound it makes, transforms that worm into another wasp. The worm, concentrating on the sound, eventually makes the sound itself and emerges transformed. Disciples are of three types. The inferior disciple avoids work and service with clever excuses. The middling disciple does the work but seeks to delegate it. The superior disciple intuitively acts on the master's wish without being asked. Sādhanā, Śvara Yoga, and Nāda Yoga lead to perfection. All waters merging into the Bhāgīrathī become pure Gaṅgā. "Ek sāje sab sāje, sab... jāye. When you do one thing, you master everything." "Śvara Yoga sādhanā removes the fear of death. It removes the fear of rebirth." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 465

Mantra is the core of spiritual practice. Life itself is a mantra. Initiation provides the mantra's principles and marks a step toward enlightenment. You must become one with your mantra, feeling it resonate through your being, replacing anxiety with certainty and awakening spiritual light. The aim is liberation, not material dependence. Mantra is your king; approach it with humility and devotion, merging your consciousness into the cosmic. Practice is essential. The first technique is likhita, writing the mantra. Writing purifies thoughts, builds concentration, and is a remedy for stress. It helps correct pronunciation. The alphabet itself is Brahman; the Sanskrit letters are eternal. Write your mantra as you hear it pronounced, with devotion, even for a short time. The second technique is vākya or vikrī, the chanting of mantra. This is śabda-brahma, where sound itself is the Supreme. Your speech should be divine, purifying karma and creating positive vibrations. The sound originates deep within and becomes articulated speech. Control your tongue; let your words be sweet. "Your consciousness merges into that cosmic consciousness." "On the tongue should be the honey." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 463

Bhajan is the second mantra, a powerful practice using the words of saints. There are two kinds: nirguṇa bhajans for the formless God and saguṇa bhajans for God with form. Self-realized saints compose nirguṇa bhajans. To attain this knowledge, one needs a living master from a spiritual lineage, the Siddha Pīṭha. Joining this lineage is like water merging into the Ganges; you receive the blessings of all past masters and become part of that chain. The formless God, Nirguṇa Brahman, is supreme bliss beyond all qualities. When that knowledge awakens, all desires vanish. We are here due to our karma. Saguṇa bhakti is worship of a divine incarnation or realized saint in a physical form. It is an easier path. The personal mantra from an authentic master is your torchlight. You must nourish it with devotion. Without persistent effort, like the fox trying to open a coconut, you cannot enjoy the fruit of the practice. "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvaraḥ. Guru Sākṣāt Para Brahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." "Rām nām nāriyal bīm. Man siyāl guḍāyon le jāī. Phodiyaan toh phute nahi, giri kaan se khai." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 461

Desire is natural; claiming to have none suggests a problem. Success in mantra requires foundational principles. First is bhakti (devotion), meaning trust and oneness, like the automatic love between mother and child. Where there is love, there is no cruelty, violence, or cheating; there is perfect trust. In this age, bhakti is primary, followed by jñāna (knowledge), vairāgya (dispassion to say "no"), and tyāga (sacrifice). These four pillars support your practice. A master gave a seed to two men, instructing them to care for it. The merchant locked it away. The farmer planted it, multiplying the harvest over years. When the master returned, the merchant's seed was gone, eaten by a moth. The farmer showed tons of produce. The master said the farmer passed, for a mantra is a seed to be multiplied through repetition. In another account, every hair of a devoted being resonated with the divine name. Through mantra, you transform. "Where there is love, there is no cruelty. Where there is love, there is no violence." "You have to repeat, multiplying every day. As many times as you will repeat, that is it, your plus point." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 460

Spiritual awakening is the foundation for achieving world peace. Human history is filled with devastating wars driven by greed for money, position, and power. This greed destroys both human life and the environment. Peace can only come through tolerance, respect, and understanding for all religions, cultures, and individuals. The solution begins within each person's heart; you must be the change you wish to see. Spirituality is defined not by religion but by purity: pure thoughts, pure language, and pure love. It involves renouncing greed, understanding that material possessions are temporary, and recognizing our shared humanity. Practicing yoga cultivates this purity, offering a system for physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. It calms the mind, recharges the body with energy, and fosters non-violence. Through self-mastery and inner peace, we can collectively create a healthy, harmonious world. "Be the change you want to see. Change yourself." "Spirituality means purity: pure thoughts, pure language, pure love, full of tolerance, respect, and understanding." Filming location: Czech Republic DVD 459

Understanding and longing are the path to overcoming fear and realizing the divine. Life's impressions remain forever; we cannot forget, but we can understand and accept. Analyze problems by finding their root cause in past situations of time and place. See that the present moment is safe; the past fear was based on a different reality, like mistaking a rope for a snake. Selfishness and ego prevent solving life's problems; you solve only through giving and respecting others. Understanding dispels fear, as shown when a mysterious light was found to have a technical cause, not a ghost. You must do this inner work yourself; no one can do it for you. Longing for God requires surrendering ego and possessing unwavering, conscious desire, as illustrated by a devotee allowing a crow to eat him but pleading for his eyes to remain to see God. God is indefinable; "God is God." Divine connection is not found in fleeting human love but in permanent devotion. You may miss God's presence if not alert, as in the story of the saint who failed to recognize God while busy. Your human life has a spiritual mission; this body is a temple. Cultivate the unshakable trust that God is with you always. "Be the change you want to see." "God is God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 457

True friendship is a divine path where two truthful selves walk together, removing each other's sorrows. A friend is never selfish and stands by you through all lives. We all seek someone to pour our love upon, and when that love is accepted, we feel released and happy. If refused, it brings confusion and pain. Real love is understanding and patient endurance. Many relationships fail because promises are broken when tested. The story of the camel and the fox teaches that a selfish friend causes suffering until they learn. The camel, after being betrayed, makes the fox feel the consequence of its actions in the river, teaching a lesson. True friendship withstands critical times. Do not seek love only in others; be a light within. Meditate to be one with yourself. God is the friend who never refuses your love. Be like a flower; butterflies will come. Your prayers and wisdom lead to realization. "Friend is never selfish. Your friend is always thinking of you." "When two hearts meet, then a smile comes. Normally, we should have thirty-two teeth. When two meet, the thirty-two open." Filming location: To be det DVD 456

Our well-being is our eternal search for God, who is happiness itself. Well-being is the ancient goal. God is simply God, manifest in all creation. Every being seeks happiness, which is God. Even a devil, by constant thought of God, can be liberated, as shown in the story of Kṛṣṇa and Kaṁsa. Yet, we often fear God's actual arrival, clinging to worldly attachments. True experience is not of the body but of the inner consciousness. Disturbances (vikṣepa) and afflictions (kleśa) arise from negative thoughts and actions, fueled by the three types of suffering. Purification comes through mantra. Wellness is establishing a permanent relationship with God, like a wave returning to the ocean. We are drawn to our origin. You can only achieve well-being within; you can inspire others but cannot give them realization. Purify your thoughts and qualities to find it. "God is happiness. God is wellness. God is ānanda." "Man ke māte hār hai, aur man ke māte jīt. It is your mind that suffers when you lose, and your mind that celebrates when you win." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 455

Look into your inner mirror to see your true Self. The physical reflection changes, but the inner one reveals your eternal reality. Only you and God can see this inner reflection, where nothing can be hidden. Your entire being depends on this inner reality. Work with the principles within your heart: Satya (truth), Dharma (righteous duty), and Jñāna (knowledge). Using these tools makes life more comfortable and advances spiritual development. Spiritual technology must be experienced, not merely learned. True greatness is marked by humility; never declare yourself great. A valuable life is dedicated to selfless service and inner purification through these principles. "Your reality is not in the mirror in your bathroom or dressing room. That is not reality, because it is changing." "Therefore, never speak that you are a great one. Do not even think that you are a great one. Always think that you are a servant of God."
