I am bliss

Yoga is a science for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, designed to create harmony with all life. Human consciousness must develop peace, moving beyond competitive pride and hidden ego. Animals sense human energy, which is often untrustworthy due to impure inner faculties of mind, intellect, consciousness, and pride. The practice aims to purify these. Heaven and hell are temporary realms based on one's actions, but the ultimate goal is merging with the limitless Brahman, the state of truth, consciousness, and bliss. Life is transient; the body is temporary, but the soul seeks eternal light. Spiritual practice is a step-by-step path connected by the thread of love and mantra. Do not break this connection through doubt or negative karma. Liberate yourself by loving all creatures and dedicating actions to the soul's journey. "Yoga is a science of the body, mind, and soul." "If we cannot make them feel comfort, health, and fearlessness, then there is no sense to human life." Filming location: Prachatice, Czech Republic

Meditation with AUM

The practice of Aum chanting coordinates sound, breath, and awareness to purify energy and consciousness. The resonance ascends from the navel through three distinct levels. The first sound, 'A,' projects into space. The second, 'U,' returns to resonate within the body. The third, 'M,' transfers from the crown chakra to the heart center. This threefold vibration awakens every cell and removes tension. Concentrate on the navel, throat, and head as the sound ascends. The chanting supplies more oxygen to the brain, enhancing prāṇa and circulation. It develops concentration and induces a profound state of relaxation and well-being. "The seat of the sound is the navel. The ascending sound from the navel to the top of the head—the resonance—is divided into three parts." "While chanting OM, be aware of all three levels of the sound: Akāra, Ukāra, Makāra." Filming location: Prachatice, Czech Republic

Practice with Vishwaguruji

A guided relaxation and anti-stress practice through physical movement and breath awareness. Relax the entire body from toes to head. Withdraw awareness from the external world. Coordinate body and breath with simple awareness, without concentration or imagination. Perform gentle movements to release tension: stretch limbs, rotate knees side to side, and twist the torso. These exercises release physical and mental tension, alleviate pain in the back, neck, and stomach, and improve digestion. The practice occupies the mind with the body, leaving other thoughts aside. It is a system that gives energy and removes stress. "Anti-stress exercises release physical and mental tension, develop concentration, and improve digestion." "Occupy your mind with your body. Leave all other thoughts out. It is just body and mind, to relax the body and relax the stress from the mind."

Yoga in Daily Life leads to good health

Children are the culture of tomorrow, and yoga is the education that creates perfect humans. Yoga guides children away from negative habits and toward a bright future through practice, song, and parental support. It leads to non-violence, peace, health, and happiness. True happiness is a free gift from God within us; unhappiness comes from the outer world. We must look within first, as our inner state projects outward. Respecting all creations and seeing one God in all names fosters a world without war. Prayer or mantra to any divine form brings help and dispels loneliness, for in meditation we are one with ourselves. Yoga is a practical science for body, mind, and soul; practice is essential over mere theory. Health comes from exercise and sāttvic nourishment, primarily vegetarianism. Killing animals transfers suffering and fear to consumers, affecting health. A vegetarian lifestyle promotes well-being, sharp memory, and freedom from disease. "God gave us happiness free of charge. No tax. No payment." "Tons of theory are nothing compared to one gram of practice." Filming location: Prachatice, Czech Republic

The glory of Satsang

There are two paths: pātan (fall, distraction) and uṭhān (upliftment, development). Both paths sprout from one seed. That seed is saṅga, the company kept. Negative company leads to downfall; positive, spiritual company leads to development. Movement itself brings achievement, but the direction of movement is determined by association. The same source can manifest as divine energy or demonic energy, both dormant in consciousness. Culture and saṃskāras received on a parent’s lap guide this potential. Yet destiny, shaped by those associations and actions, ultimately determines the outcome. A story from scripture illustrates this. Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī tested a wealthy merchant’s devotion. Viṣṇu came as a sādhu seeking a fixed seat for four months. Lakṣmī came as a sādhu demanding the same room and throwing away everything after a single use. The merchant, choosing the allure of māyā over his given word, expelled Viṣṇu. Then Lakṣmī also left, revealing the merchant’s devotion was never to the divine but to worldly wealth. Thus, one’s company reveals one’s true devotion. The street of love is too narrow for two; duality must dissolve into oneness. Satsaṅg—true company—is the path to that unity. Neither happiness, heaven, nor Brahmaloka are difficult to attain, for everything is found in satsaṅg. “Prem Gali Ati Shankari, Jisme Do Nahi Samay. When I was here, God was not here. And now God is here, I am not here.” “Neither happiness, nor pleasure, nor heaven, nor Brahmaloka are difficult to attain — all is found in satsaṅg.” Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Techniques of Meditation

Āyurveda balances life; yoga reveals purpose. Karma, action through body, mind, speech, or wealth, binds everyone. Time, a human construct, waits for none, not even gods. The goal is to transcend time and space, realizing the oneness beyond individuality. The mind, a transmitter of impressions between conscious and subconscious, causes restlessness. Meditation balances body, mind, and intellect, curing stress and many diseases. Practice awareness of breath and body for a few minutes daily. "Karma will not let anyone free. It will come back to you, like a boomerang." "Meditation is the best way to bring your body, your mind, your intellect, your memory, everything into balance."

Sources of happiness

Health is the foundational wealth for happiness, achieved through the balance of yoga and Āyurveda. Health is the first wealth; without it, everything is nothing. Yoga and Āyurveda are two wings for balance: yoga harmonizes astral energy and emotions, while Āyurveda maintains physical health. The primary happiness is a healthy body. The second is having sufficient resources to feed one's family and guests, avoiding greed, which is insatiable like a beggar's bottomless pot made from the human mind. The third happiness is harmony and mutual understanding between husband and wife. The fourth is obedient children. The fifth is good neighbors and social harmony. Worry is a destructive termite that erodes health. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life, focusing on nourishment and natural remedies. Desires, especially of the tongue, are enemies to control. The soul is like a queen bee; when it departs, the bodily systems follow. Simple Āyurvedic techniques, like gentle touch or using a feather, can alleviate issues. Purification practices like Śaṅkhaprakṣālana should align with seasonal changes. True well-being comes from natural living, not excessive consumption or artificial means. "Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health." "The first wealth is good health." Filming location: Raumati Beach, New Zealand

Difficulties

The human condition is defined by a unique and pervasive fear, stemming from our intellect and desires, which separates us from other creatures and creates our suffering. We declare ourselves the best creatures, yet we are the most fearful. Animals live without our anxieties; they do not consult astrology or design their homes. We asked God why He made humans superior, and He replied He never did—He made humans as protectors, but we have become destroyers. Our limitless desires breed endless fear. A bird will sit on a tiger but flees from a human, sensing our negative energy. We even distrust each other, relying on documents over personal vows, as in modern marriages. This fear is a form of tapas, a burning austerity. The three fires of suffering are adhibhautika (from other beings), adhidaivika (from divine forces or past karma), and adhyātmika (from within oneself). Our sins—anger, greed, pride—fuel these fires. To end them, we must disconnect from worldly attachments and connect to the Supreme. Chanting the mantra cleanses these three tapas and sins, leading to permanent, unmovable happiness. We must practice non-violence, mercy, and introspection. Read sacred texts to awaken this understanding and transform life. "I never said this. I did not declare." "Todo and jodo. Break and join."

The Living Planet

The question of how to live long is misplaced; we should ask if we have truly served the Earth, our Mother, who embodies the principle of sustainability. True sustainability is the self-regenerating system of the God-made world, not the limited, man-made concepts like the "green economy," which often destroys nature for profit. Our bodies, like the Earth designed by the cosmic engineer Viśvakarmā, are made from the five elements and require natural balance. Modern life, with its artificiality, chemicals, and disrespect for parents and nature, shortens life and destroys value. Do not seek merely a long life, which becomes a torture, but seek to serve and realize the divine. Live authentically, honor the natural beauty God created, and practice spiritual disciplines until the end. Our aim is to serve all creation and merge into divine light. "Mother Earth means life. Mother means life. This life of the mother principle is that continuity called sustainability." "If you want to go to a holy place, the holiest place is to serve—make the service and serve your older, eldest parents, to be with them." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Yoga Nidra: theory and practice

True greatness is never self-proclaimed; it is recognized by others. A great person does not glorify themselves with titles. God does not demand to be called God. If someone declares their own greatness, it reveals their nature. A diamond does not announce its value; we perceive it. Simplicity in living reflects higher thought. Our subject is the depth of Yoga Nidrā. Common practice is relaxation, often leading to sleep. The higher yogic form is a profound meditation, awakening consciousness beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Sleep is vital, like gold, renewing the body's systems. Observe the transition from wakefulness into sleep; that border is a gateway. Insomnia should be met with activity, not passive struggle in bed, to avoid dependency. Dreams occur in the astral body. Sleeping with hands on the chest can hinder its separation, causing distressing dreams. The fourth state transcends past, present, and future. Complete your life's unfinished chapters through self-study. The past is gone; present actions shape the future. Clear your path through your own practice and seva; others can only suggest. Time and karma are relentless forces. Seek the shelter of the Guru's grace to rise above them. "Yogī jano kī yoga-nidrā, birlā-santa-jana-jānī-re." (The Yoga Nidrā of the yogis, only rare saints understand.) "Khetī prīti prathānā pūt tane khojār jo suk chahe prāṇī hatho hath śambhal." (If a being desires happiness, they must themselves tend to their field, love, and prayers.) Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

We should develop positive qualities

Perfection requires practice, not just theory. There are two types of masters: one who speaks and one who acts through dedicated practice. True meditation is not merely closing one's eyes; it requires the focused commitment of lagan, akin to love that overcomes all distance. On the path, many obstacles arise, serving as the best school. Do not seek glory from the crowd; true friends are few. Dharma—our duty and discipline—protects those who protect it. It manifests in relationships: between parent and child, husband and wife. Protection is mutual; safeguarding others safeguards yourself. Dharma, patience, a true friend, and a faithful partner are revealed in terrible times when all others oppose you. Without these, meditation is impossible due to mental disturbances, the vikāras: greed, insatiable desire, fickleness, and thievery of mind, word, and deed, including intellectual property. Stealing a master's teachings without acknowledgment creates bad karma. All true masters are connected like branches of one tree. Honesty and mercy are the roots of dharma; pride is the root of sin. Purify these first; then meditation can come. "Tons of theory is nothing compared with a grain of practice." "If you protect the dharma, the dharma will protect you."

Be the example

Mahātmā Gandhījī exemplified a life of truth, non-violence, and selfless service. He demonstrated that true knowledge brings equality and removes duality. His life was a practical lesson in renunciation, proving one must renounce to truly enjoy. He taught through personal example, as shown when he abstained from sweets himself before advising a child. His dedication to hard work was absolute, utilizing every moment for service. He moved the world through love and ahiṃsā, viewing all as family. This culture of universal kinship, addressing everyone as mother, sister, or son, fosters respect and non-violence. Such great personalities embody peace, hard work, love, and non-violence simultaneously. They show that real love and peace arise from within. We must strive to polish ourselves through daily awareness and discipline to embody these qualities. "Come after one month... because, at that time, since then, I was also eating too many sweets."

What is Yoga and Ayurveda?

Yoga and Ayurveda are the two wings for the bird of life to fly. Yoga means union, the oneness of the individual self with the supreme. Vyoga means separation. Time is the greatest force; do not waste it. Our memory is being lost by relying on external records. True knowledge comes from a master who is both a knower of Brahman and a speaker of that truth. Theory is nothing compared to practice. We are like a drop; yoga is the process of that drop merging into the ocean, ending duality. Ayurveda is the knowledge of life. It can cure physical and mental disease. Mental disease is worry, which burns like a fire. The remedy is wise thinking and self-study. Unfinished chapters of our life must be completed to progress. "Yoga means union: the ātmā to Paramātmā, our individual self coming to God, becoming one with that." "Āyurveda: Āyur means life. Veda means knowledge. So what kind of knowledge you have about your life, and how long you will live?" Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Meditation from Auckland

Theoretical knowledge is secondary to direct meditative practice. Begin by establishing physical stillness and comfort, known as Kāya Sthairyam. This steadiness allows for deep relaxation and inward inquiry. The core practice is self-enquiry, contemplating fundamental questions of identity and origin. Through relaxation and focused awareness, one perceives the body's energy and the seven chakras, represented by colors. The aim is to witness the breath and inner phenomena, leading to a realization of oneness where the individual soul merges with the Supreme. This process cultivates freedom, happiness, light, peace, and ultimate unity. "Who am I? From where did I come?" "Meditation shall lead us to oneness, which means this individual soul, Jīvātmā, merges into Paramātmā, the Supreme."

Yoga, Āyurveda, and the Journey Beyond: From Vikāra to Turīya

Yoga and Āyurveda address disease, or vikāra, in the physical and mental realms. Physical vikāra arises from disregarding natural harmony in diet and living. Mental vikāra manifests as the six afflictions: desire, anger, attachment, greed, pride, and ego. These lead to cintā, or chronic worry, which consumes one from within like a termite hollowing a tree. The remedy is to renounce attachment to what is lost and to practice svādhyāya, the study of one's own unfulfilled chapters. Meditation relieves this tension by revealing the unreality of persistent worry. Deeper practice involves mastering the three states of consciousness—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—through Yoga Nidrā. This conscious sleep purifies the subconscious, resolves latent conflicts, and can recharge energy. Mastery leads to the fourth state, chaitanya, a wakeful consciousness that perceives past, present, and future. "Vikāra is something which is destroying itself, like when fruit is lying a long time and is rotten." "The root of righteousness is mercy." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Transferring the ancient knowledge

Ayurveda and Yoga are ancient sciences of body, mind, and soul. The knowledge was transmitted verbally from master to disciple, known as Śruti, and through memory, called Smṛti. Human memory has declined due to reliance on writing and technology. Ancient research was more perfect, preserved in scriptures that cannot be changed. Ayurveda provides remedies from powerful herbs, where quality, not quantity, is key, and requires following strict dietary principles. Yoga begins with discipline practiced now, not tomorrow. The primary cause of all mental and physical disease is worry, called cintā. Citta is the fire of the funeral pyre. The solution is cintana and svādhyāya—reflective prayer and the study of sacred texts or oneself. Close your eyes, meditate, and practice mantra to overcome worry. Complete the chapters of your life. Do not procrastinate; begin your discipline now. Give up cintā, for what is lost is lost. "Cintā only is the one cause—the cintā." "The best way is cintana." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Who is the real Master?

A mudrā unites individual and supreme consciousness, while its three extended fingers symbolize the three guṇas to be transcended. Tamas guṇa is laziness and inertia, draining energy; it is countered by reducing diet. Rajas guṇa is restlessness and anger, generating heat. Sattva guṇa is balance and purity, yet one must ascend beyond all three. The true guru is not a physical body but the embodied knowledge and principle that leads from darkness to light. This guru-tattva is the supreme, blissful consciousness beyond all duality and change. The human body is a temporary vessel for this consciousness. Concepts like heaven and hell are psychological constructs for moral guidance, while innate fear is a divine gift for survival. All elements ultimately merge and recycle, yet the conscious essence persists. "Tamas guṇa means dizziness, laziness, slipperiness, and lack of interest." "Gu means darkness, and ru means light. The guru is the one who leads us from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

The lotus of the heart

The heart is the seat of the self, where divine love resides. Within the heart's lotus is a tiny space containing a blue light; when its petals open, one sees the ātmā. The self is not found in the brain or other body parts but here. Happiness and bliss awaken from the anāhata cakra. Below the navel lies lust; above it is love. God is love, and love is God. Common expressions of love are often empty habits, while true fulfillment comes from the heart. This is pure love, as seen in a mother's care, which is eternal and not merely emotional. The heart feels pain when a beloved departs or an enemy approaches. Divine love, or prem, is the immortal nectar, the very essence of the ātmā. One must beg for this love to fill the empty bowl of the heart. Spiritual reality is within, not found through external search or science. "When the petals of the lotus of our heart open, those eyes can open and see the ātmā, the essence, the light of the self." "God is love, and love is God. It is in the heart, this area." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

Jivatma

Self-inquiry meditation seeks the realization of the true Self, which is supreme and distinct from the bound individual soul. The soul is entangled in karma and cycles of rebirth, perpetually seeking liberation. This human form is a precious opportunity to purify karma and progress toward the supreme reality. The process involves peeling away layers of identification with the body, mind, and emotions to ask, "Who am I?" Liberation is found by realizing the oneness of the Self, where all duality ceases. A guide can show the path, but the journey of disciplined practice must be walked by oneself with patience and gratitude. "Who am I? I am not the body, I am not this jīvātmā, I am not intellect, I am not emotion, I am not the thoughts." "From where did I come? We are here in this world. We were born here or in some other country."

Practicing Yoga

Yoga is a scientific system for balancing body, mind, and soul. Begin by relaxing the entire body from toes to head. Practice slow, conscious movements and breath to bring the nervous system into equilibrium. Muscle contraction and release must be done slowly; holding a contraction for about ten seconds strengthens the body, while rushing loses the effect. Observe imbalances, such as one hand rising higher than the other, and correct them through focused awareness. The aim is not gymnastic challenge but sustained, even harmony throughout the day. "Relax the whole body from the toes to the top of the head." "Yoga is not for that kind of gymnastic or challenge or something. It is to bring body, mind, and soul to one level, to oneness."

How to open the heart?

The aim of human life is to remember God, which is the essence of bhajan. Religion is a philosophy derived from divine incarnations, but the eternal essence is one dharma. The physical body is a temporary construct of five elements, a wondrous bungalow where God speaks. Consciousness pendles between three states: waking, dream, and deep sleep. In dream, your reality is created from past impressions and desires. The knower, the knowledge, and the object of knowledge are three. When these three become one, a higher consciousness dawns where past, present, and future are seen without attachment. Detachment is difficult, as seen in states like coma where the connection to worldly interest is severed. A specific mantra purifies the mind, the seat of fear and problems. Repeating it shifts awareness from pain to the divine, offering strength and purification for the inner faculties. It opens the eye of the heart, allowing the universal light to awaken within. This leads to fearlessness, cutting all worldly bonds and removing the threefold afflictions of physical, astral, and karmic troubles. Eternal peace is achieved as the individual self merges with the supreme. "O human, the aim of your life is to remember God." "Through this mantra, our inner purification takes place immediately."

The whole world is one family

Yoga is the science of body, mind, soul, and consciousness. Every creature seeks happiness, but only humans possess intellect and free will. Worldly happiness is temporary; only true knowledge, which is oneness with all, is permanent. Our actions determine our fruits, as good yields good and bad yields bad. Much of life is spent acquiring worldly knowledge, which vanishes at death. We need spiritual knowledge, which persists and guides favorable rebirths. Modern education often lacks ethical and spiritual teaching, which is foundational for social harmony and peace. Peace begins within the individual heart and awareness. Yoga is a practical way of life for health and balance. We have five senses of knowledge and five of action; these ten must be coordinated and controlled. Health is essential, and yoga requires daily discipline, as the body and life are our own responsibility. True help requires wisdom, and inner peace requires managing our thoughts and actions consciously. "All worldly happiness is only temporary. That is only knowledge—the knowledge which is happiness itself." "Peace begins from our own heart. Human consciousness, human awareness, human emotions—we have to awaken in our awareness that I am a human." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

We need perfection

Authentic symbols are essential for spiritual efficacy. Ancient scriptures prescribe exact measurements and placements for symbols in temples and sacred spaces. If these are incorrect, the practice is flawed, just as a physical imperfection creates difficulty. People seek these authentic places, for there the energy is correct and offerings are successful. Tradition preserves this precise knowledge. One must discern authentic symbols from mere ornamentation. The purpose is to create a perfect conduit for divine connection. "Break from all ignorance, all these worldly sufferings, and connect it with God." "In the entire universe, there is no power that can tie me, but only one: that is love."

Yoga and Ayurveda for the health

Yoga and Ayurveda are sciences of body, mind, and soul. Ayurveda cares for the physical body through proper nutrition. Eating beyond need brings only disease. Junk food contains artificial spices that harm the stomach. Return to organic, natural food, even in small amounts. Eat and drink at fixed times. After eating, do not drink liquid for one and a half hours. Ayurveda has become a big business, losing its spiritual quality. A true Vaidya served selflessly, never asking for money. Yoga too has become commercial. A real master never demands payment from disciples; only blessings function through grace. Desires are the cause of all sorrows. The six enemies are desire, anger, intoxication, greed, ignorance, and pride. Anger steals every good quality at your door. Greed has no end. Attachment is ignorance that blinds you. Astrology cannot change your destiny; only the Guru’s grace can. Even great beings surrender to Guru Bhakti. “Anger is the thief who will take away everything from you at the door.” “Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam — only the Guru’s grace.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Seva will bring us to Brahmaloka

The principle of selfless service and reverence for all life is paramount. Depictions of spiritual figures should reflect joy and compassion, not perpetual suffering. All life, whether born from womb, egg, or sprouting from earth, is sacred and given by God. Destroying life opposes divine will. The current age promotes violence against life through disregard for creation and selfishness. True service, or Seva, is action without expectation of reward. It is a greater spiritual pursuit than even personal liberation. Selfless action upholds righteousness and is the foundation of a harmonious world. All incarnations arise to serve this principle. "God gives life, God sends life, and we destroy it. That is against God’s work, God’s will." "Seva is greater than Mokṣa. Therefore, Bhagavān Viṣṇu said, 'I give up my comfortable life... and I incarnate again on this earth to serve.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Great Saints set an example

Dharma is the universal principle of rightness, distinct from modern religious constructs. Many great beings, including Jesus and ancient ṛṣis, have suffered for truth. Common yoga is a science for well-being, akin to a parent calming a child. A higher meditation exists for those spiritually educated with tolerance. Satsaṅg inspires and calms through knowledge and devotion, while kusaṅg includes sound pollution and addiction. Study the lives of all saints to understand their consciousness and sacrifice. Dharma must be upheld once promised, as seen in historical examples of unwavering commitment. Every being has a protective dharma, like a mother to her child. The Supreme watches all karma. Read wisely, filtering inspiration without becoming argumentative or changing views with every new author. The essence of all scripture is the law of cause and effect upon one's own self. Practice looking within to read the chapter of your own life. "If you give pleasure to others, you will receive pleasure. If you give trouble to others, you will receive trouble." "Read the chapter of your own life. How many chapters have you begun? How many remain empty or incomplete?" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sacrifice of the Saints

Reflect on these days of crucifixion; many saints have been crucified and people still crucify themselves. An example is Dadhīci Ṛṣi, who consciously donated his bones, his spine becoming the weapon of Indra. Similarly, the Sufi saint Anā al-Ḥaqq proclaimed "Ana'l-Ḥaqq," meaning "I am the Brahman." He was tortured, crucified, his tongue cut, yet the sound "Ana'l-Ḥaqq" persisted. From his blood and ashes the sound continued until surrender, then it ceased. Humans clip their own wings, preventing spiritual flight. Before blaming anyone, look within; it is you who have cut the bird’s feathers. Women hold great compassion, motherly love, and hospitality. In ancient battles, a woman’s entry stopped fighting, showing deep respect. Men are protectors, yet both suffer when discipline is lost. The outer world holds māyā, an illusion like an unreachable horizon, and also the chance to help. The inner world contains desires and true reality, reached through knowledge. Spiritual attainment is like climbing a mountain; falling is swift. Daily discipline, the ointment of God’s name, opens the inner eyes of the heart. Avoid artificial coverings; true beauty emerges naturally with willpower. Look within thyself; karma and self-knowledge reveal the real. "It is you who have clipped the bird’s wings, so there are two things. Either they did not want to go further, or they could not go further." "That no one can give you. This you have to achieve through your knowledge, so look within thyself." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Searching for Brahmaloka

Today is Good Friday, a day to contemplate the crucifixion of Jesus and the eternal sacrifice of warriors for dharma. Asuric and divine forces are always in battle, and in every yuga, heroes offer their lives for all beings. In Svarga Loka, complete Kaya Kalpa happens instantly; here it is a child’s toy, known only through sadhana and Guru Bhakti. The Guru Vakya declares the Guru as Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshvara; those who criticize the Guru cannot reach heaven. Ayurveda originates in Svargaloka; real Chyawanprash requires gold ash and purified mercury, prepared with precise science. Imitation yoga breeds disease; the first principle is to follow, trust, and obey the master. Devas enjoy heavenly fruits of good karma, but after exhausting them, they are reborn and pray for human birth to seek moksha. Krishna says he comes in every yuga to re-establish dharma when adharma grows. An asura could only be killed by a weapon made from a living being’s spine given freely without pain; Dadhichi Rishi donated all his bones. Indra fashioned Vajra from them and slew the demon. Repeating God’s name creates a footpath where sin cannot grow; karma yoga with the name of God on the lips yields double benefit. Stealing the knowledge of saints without attribution brings heavy karmic debt and lower rebirth. The honest bhakta who acknowledges the source is guided to Brahmaloka. Jesus’s sacrifice mirrors this giving of life for dharma; all religions must hold dayā and mercy. Sanatana Dharma alone is eternal, and the blessings of Satya Yuga flow through awakened consciousness. "Gurur Brahma, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt, Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." “Whenever dharma is humiliated and adharma grows, I come to destroy adharma and re‑establish dharma.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Rama and Hanuman

The full moon influences all life and consciousness, symbolizing completeness. Its energy affects nature and human health, making fasting beneficial on this day. Fasting involves consuming only liquids, fruits, and vegetables, which can improve health and reduce blood pressure. What we eat is medicine, and cooking is a science for well-being. The story of Hanuman teaches that devotion must remain free from ego and doubt. Even great devotees can falter, but true devotion holds God within the heart, beyond all confusion. "Pūrṇamadaḥ, pūrṇamidaṃ, pūrṇāt, pūrṇamudacyate... that Pūrṇa is also our self." "When we lose our confidence—though we had confidence—but sometimes a certain constellation comes, and we are suddenly separated." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Bhajan about Yoga Nidra - yogic sleep

Yoga Nidrā is a state of conscious rest distinct from ordinary sleep. A story illustrates this. Sādhus once criticized a master for apparent daytime sleep. The master explained he was practicing yoga nidrā, a conscious sleep where one remains inwardly awake. In this state, awareness is fully alert while the body rests deeply, rejuvenating more than ordinary sleep. It is a practice for rare yogis. The practitioner's awareness turns inward, ascending beyond the physical. Chakras open like blossoms in this state. One perceives past, present, and future, connected to pure consciousness without physical base. The experience is of limitless light and bliss within the astral space. The mantra guides and sustains this awareness. True understanding of this technique comes only through the guru's guidance. "Listen, sādhus, I was not sleeping, I was in Yoga Nidrā." "In that sleep of yoga nidrā, you are completely awakened." Filming location: Cherkassy, Ukraine

The real meditation

The soul of meditation is the Guru Mantra, the essential seed given by the guru. Without the guru's mantra, meditation is lifeless. The mind, restless and hungry, finds calm through this mantra. The real mantra is the Guru Mantra, received with the guru's blessing, not self-chosen. One must be Guru Mukhi, oriented toward the guru, not Man Mukhi, following one's own mind. The guru is a principle that removes ignorance's darkness. This guru-tattva is the light, manifest like electricity in a bulb. The guru embodies the divine functions: as Brahmā, he creates knowledge in the disciple; as Viṣṇu, he protects; as Maheśvara (Śiva), he liberates. The disciple is drawn to this light. Perfecting the mantra involves stages: writing it (likhita), chanting it (vekrī), inner chanting without sound (upāṁśu), mental repetition (mānasika), and finally spontaneous, effortless repetition (ajapa). One makes a commitment (saṅkalpa) for daily practice, offering the results to the guru. This spiritual practice must be protected from negative influences, for its merit is permanent. "Without a Guru Mantra, meditation is like a statue without life in it." "Gu means darkness, and ru means light. He is the one who removes the darkness of ignorance and leads us to the light."

Chakras and Nadis

The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root foundation and the seat of the dormant Kuṇḍalinī energy. Three principal energy channels govern the system: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and the central Suṣumṇā. The term 'haṭha yoga' originates from balancing the 'ha' of Iḍā and the 'ṭha' of Piṅgalā. True haṭha yoga embodies forceful willpower and relentless practice, never giving up. This willpower manifests in various forms: the king's resolve, a child's persistence, a woman's determination, and the yogi's ultimate renunciation for divine union. It also includes the six purification techniques for physical health. The awakened energy rises through the chakras—Svādhiṣṭhāna, Maṇipūra, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, Ājñā—toward Sahasrāra, merging individual consciousness with the divine. The entire universe exists within the human body; self-realization comes from inner exploration, not external seeking. "Practice, practice, practice. Have confidence and say, 'I know I will do it.'" "Renounce and enjoy. If you want to be happy, if you want to enjoy life, then renounce."

The rising of Kundalini

Mantras, elements, and spiritual science shape human destiny. Mantras are researched formulas of sound whose vibration originates at the navel. They purify the mind and protect one's energy. The singular, formless God distributes divine duties through the elements, which are living deities we must respect: Agni (fire), Jal (water), Prithvi (earth), Vayu (air), and Akash (space). Modern life lacks harmony because we neglect this reverence and the supporting sciences of astrology and Vastu for aligning actions and dwellings with cosmic energies. The human soul carries accumulated karma across lifetimes. The dormant Kundalini energy rests at the base of the spine; purifying the chakras through practice raises consciousness from animalistic tendencies. A true master's guidance is essential to cut through karmic destiny. Human life is a rare chance for this liberation. "Through mantra, we can gain a lot of positive energy and positive protection." "Your yoga practice will be successful through doing good karma."

Awakening of Kundalini

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Tbilisi, Georgia. Energy is circulating in the whole body and controlling our whole being. Manipura chakra is there where our life begins. The first human was born in the Himalayas and the whole Himalaya was the kingdom of Lord Shiva. To be born as a human is the last milestone in the development of consciousness.

Yoga and Ayurveda for wellbeing

The divine light of Bharat and Sanatana Dharma is the eternal truth. Bharat is the cradle of culture and spirituality, acknowledged as the motherland, Bhārat Mātā. It is the sacred center where divine incarnations manifest. Every atom of its soil carries divine energy. Sanatana Dharma is not a religion but the eternal principle of existence, the universal consciousness within all. It is the one Supreme Father in all. People are divine incarnations, yet a curtain of ignorance obscures this truth. This ignorance is removed through yoga and Āyurveda. Yoga is the union of the individual soul with the cosmic soul, supported by practices for health. Āyurveda is the ancient medical science that heals without side effects. Together, they are the two wings to fly to liberation. One must practice diligently and seek expert guidance. Do not be misled by superficial habits; recognize your divine nature. "Within you is an ocean of immortality. Within you is the fountain of joy, and within you is the immortal soul." "Yoga is called union: Jīvātmā to Paramātmā—the individual soul merges into the cosmic soul."

Discovering harmony and peace

A journey within begins by relaxing the body and observing the breath. Contemplate the five elements within. Space exists inside and outside; feel at ease within it. Air, or prāṇa, purifies the body and can remove illness with concentrated will. Inner fire, or agni, balances temperature and burns away toxins. The water element flows through tissues, supplying minerals and expelling impurities. The earth element, the bones, provides a frame. These elements within can become polluted by the external world. Purify them through sāttvic food, yoga postures, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Body awareness is life awareness; health depends on clean, balanced elements. Bring awareness to any area of pain or illness. Direct breath and the elements—air, fire, space, water—to that area to balance and heal. This self-inquiry meditation can be done seated. Many bodily problems stem from personal mistakes like wrong diet or substances, but they can be repaired through yoga, meditation, and a balanced diet. Make a resolve to heal the body and mind through these elements and practices. Love and protect nature. Decide for a healthy, strong body and a long life. "Body awareness means life awareness. The body is here, you are here." "Strive to purify with sāttvic food... Pure quality gives more quality to your life." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

The Harmony of Yoga and Āyurveda

Yoga and Āyurveda are two wings for the soul's flight. This is a lifelong work of discipline. The first happiness is a healthy body, called niroga. A healthy family is the foundation; parents must remain together with children for harmony. Husband and wife require mutual understanding. Obedient children learn from parents who do not quarrel. Good neighbors are the fifth happiness. The sixth is having a milking animal and a kitchen garden. Āyurveda teaches that every plant has value, as shown in the story of Charaka. Discipline is essential: for medicine like chyavanprāś, follow strict dietary rules. Yoga begins with discipline; Āyurveda medicine begins with discipline. The cause of disease is eating constantly, which disrupts the digestive fire, Jāṭharāgni. Seek advice only from a trained Āyurvedic doctor who understands pulse diagnosis. These sciences make us healthy, grant long life, and aid spiritual achievement. The soul departs with speed, guided only by karma and spirituality. "The first happiness is a healthy body."

Svargaloka

Yoga and Āyurveda are the sole foundation. All action—physical, mental, emotional—is karma. Kali Yuga is the age of karma yoga. Everyone is employed or searching for work. Work is slavery to money. Karma determines the resulting fruit. Skill in action brings yoga’s success. Yoga means union of the individual soul with the Supreme. The fire of yoga burns all karma. Positive karma leads to liberation. Nonviolence builds a free, peaceful society. The only hope in Kali Yuga is the name of God. Mantra repetition frees one from Kali Yuga’s prison. Gold symbolizes this bondage to money. Āyurveda prolongs life to realize yoga. It purifies without side effects. Heaven is temporary; the true goal is Brahmaloka. “Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam.” “Kali Yuga kevala nāmādhāra.” Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

How to prepare for meditation

Chin Mudrā meditation unites individual soul with Supreme and moves beyond the three guṇas. Sit in Sukhāsana or Padmāsana with back straight, thumb and index finger gently touching. The index finger and thumb joining signify Paramātmā and jīvātmā in oneness. Three other fingers represent sāttvic, rājasic, and tāmasic guṇas, which are obstacles. Spiritual development begins only after mastering these three guṇas. Without this mastery, practices are mere enjoyment without substance. The mudrā connects nerve points, signaling the brain to relax and balance emotions. It calms anxiety, restlessness, and depression while developing concentration. Energy recharges when fingers gently move, creating a sensation of electricity throughout the body. Hands palm-up intensify energy reception; hands on thighs create regenerative feedback. Energy flows when body is upright and comfortable; slouching disconnects the flow. The navel is the center from which energy and sound originate. Sound stages include parā at the navel, paśyantī at the throat, and vaikharī at tongue and lips. Unuttered resonance touches the heart, distributes through the body, and finally projects outward. With Chin Mudrā placed under the thighs, close eyes and relax all muscles from shoulders to eyebrows. Inhale deeply, feel abdomen expand, and envision chanting Oṃ to expand self into infinity. Chant Oṃ three times, feeling each cell resonate, then place hands on the face and open the eyes. “Triguṇarahitaṃ satguruṃ taṃ namāmi yaṃ.” “If there is petrol, the car will run.

Support the flame of life within you

The inner fire of tapasyā purifies the self through renunciation and steadfastness. All experiences—good and bad—arise from within our own consciousness, not from external sources. We project our inner negativity onto others, but blaming others only multiplies those negative qualities within our own awareness. True renunciation means letting go of attachment, anger, hate, and desire. Tapasyā is the inner fire that burns away all that is temporary and negative. This spiritual discipline does not require a remote location; it can be practiced wherever you live. Your consistent practice can make your own dwelling a holy place, radiating spiritual energy. The mind is restless and deceptive, like a reflection you cannot grasp directly; you must go beyond it. Your mantra and inner will are your supports. Ultimately, you alone must walk the path to quench your spiritual thirst; the source will not come to you. Happiness and divinity are already within you, given freely. "Everything is within us. Be happy with this. And if there is weakness, then pray for that energy." "Tapasyā is a fire which burns all negative qualities; everything burns. Fire is one of the best elements which purifies everything." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Detachment and Liberation

Life is obtained, but how should one live it? The human lifespan is divided into quarters for study, family, society, and final liberation. The ladder for this is Dharma, Artha, Kāma, and Mokṣa. The personality has perishable and immortal parts. The soul travels; the body has its lineage from five elements. We know only the physical body, but mind, intellect, and soul are reflected within it. The time in hand is always short. Only the present can be used. Be fully present with any task, such as eating. Concentrated eating alone can transform life and direct desires. The universe is made from Agni and Soma, a chain from the sun to rain to crops. The food we eat transforms through seven stages in the body, ultimately affecting desires and procreation. We have four components: body, mind, intellect, and soul. Everything is created from sound vibrations. Mantra practice moves from spoken sound to inner, formless repetition, a path to the soul. The mind is difficult to control as it is a reflection. Withdrawing from the world turns the senses inward. Detachment from all perishable things allows one to live in the present. In married life, man and woman are complementary halves, perfecting each other. Man is outwardly fiery, inwardly cool Soma; woman is outwardly cool, inwardly fiery. Their union is a stage of creation. Over 25 years, the wife shapes the husband, ultimately creating an aversion to turn him toward society and spiritual goals. The mother is the first teacher, shaping the soul in the womb. The final goal is enlightenment. "Today is the answer of life. I must use my present." "The woman is the creator of the world. She creates the man before she gives birth to the child." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Raja Yoga and Mantra

The limitless divine reality is the source and destination of all existence. From the silent, formless infinite arose the vibration of sound, the primal resonance that manifests as creation. All that appears—the cosmos, the myriad life forms—are waves upon that ocean of consciousness. These waves are not separate from the ocean; they emerge from it and will merge back into it. This mortal world is a temporary theater. All who are born will die, returning to the universal consciousness. Your present actions create future karma, stored within your own awareness. Therefore, live with humility and harm no creature. True meditation requires a mantra to focus the mind and dissolve restless thoughts, guiding the individual soul toward merging with the supreme.

The cause of illnesses

The Satguru's name is the boat to cross the ocean of worldly existence. Satsang is the vehicle to heaven, like a boat crossing the ocean. Those who board the boat of the Guru's name with faith and service will be carried to the far shore. The mind is inherently restless, greedy, and thieving; it steals away good thoughts. Do not follow its desires. To control it, seek shelter at the Guru's divine feet. Worry is a disease that eats away at one's roots like a termite. We often blame others and do not accept our own mistakes, which creates mental illness. Guilt and hidden faults create fear that manifests as disease in the body. Surrender is essential. True devotion is an unbreakable attachment and purity. Hold fast to it to attain the divine vision. "Satguru nām jahāj hai, chaḍe sū utre pār, jo śraddhā kar sev de." "Man ke lagām lagāo... To śaraṇa. Come, seek the shelter at the divine feet or divine presence of the Gurudev." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The Four Paths and the Nature of Siddhi

Yoga's path requires authentic practice, not imitation. The cycle of spiritual practice mirrors cosmic ages, with the current age relying on divine remembrance. A twelve-year commitment with firm resolve can lead toward perfection, yet unseen forces may test one's progress. The intellect, supported by positive qualities, is the pillar of sustained practice. When ego and negative tendencies arise, they corrupt this foundation. True spiritual power comes from grace, not mere mimicry of external actions. Imitating a master without inner realization leads to failure and potential harm. Spiritual attainment is a gradual inner ripening, demanding patience and surrender, not premature declaration. The name of the divine is the essential support in this age. "Kaliyuga kevala nāma ādhāra, sumira sumira nara hoi bhava pāra." "Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam — solely the grace of the Guru." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Cultural tolerance

A nation must protect its culture and language, but large nations must not destroy small ones. True harmony requires adopting the ancient Vedic science, which speaks of unity, not a single God. India is the cradle of culture, hosting many languages without conflict, just as a garden holds many trees. Yet, we are destroying our environment, digging mountains and polluting our world. Yoga is not merely physical practice; it is the harmony of body, mind, and soul for inner peace. We must change ourselves first, as charity begins at home. Commercialization misuses yoga's true purpose, which is selfless action and simple living. Our culture is being lost to restless influences, while the ancient wisdom of peace is forgotten. We must control our negative energies and make a resolve for positive change, for anger destroys spiritual progress. True peace comes from within and through self-discipline. "Be the change you want to see." "Yoga in life is designed to bring peace, harmony, understanding, and happiness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Tree planting in Khatu

The essence of yoga is the movement from sound to union, from mantra to silence. Mantra invokes peace, establishing a foundation of tranquility within and without. This repeated invocation of peace is the preparation, clearing the inner space. The practice then shifts to a singular, devotional repetition of the divine name. This repetition, or japa, is itself the core action. It is not an intellectual discourse but a direct, absorptive practice. The mind settles into the rhythm of the name, moving beyond thought. In this focused repetition, all doing is recognized as the doing of the divine principle alone. The separate sense of self dissolves into that recognition, which is union. "Śāntir Vidhve Deva Śāntir Brahma Śāntihi Sarvakoh Śāntihi." "Mahāprabhujī Karatā He Kevalam."

Attributes of Shiva

The sacred ground of sādhanā is this very place where the worshipped Gurudev performed tapasyā. Svayambhū Śiva is the unborn creator and liberator, the highest Lord who self-manifests. The entire universe across countless ages is his body. He is among the merciful who bless even through short prayer. You witness the webcast from this holy spot where saints gather. A beloved devotee will now sing bhajans of the Gurujī and other saints. Listen and enjoy these divine voices. "Śiva is not born, neither of a father nor of a mother. He himself manifests." "He is one of the merciful ones who can bless with a little or a short prayer or sādhanā."

The mercy of Shiva

Śiva is the eternal, unborn consciousness from which all creation arises and into which it dissolves. He is both the creator and the liberator, not a destroyer but a renewing force. All manifested forms, from a hall to the cosmic cycles of yugas, are temporary. The law is Śiva, while the active roles of creation and preservation are undertaken by Brahmā and Viṣṇu, who change with each age. The individual soul researches through countless lifetimes, seeking to awaken from sleep. The human birth is a crucial opportunity; one must cultivate mercy and guard against negative thoughts that can pull consciousness back into lower states. Śiva is ever-present within, as the inner light and the energy in every heartbeat. Through devotion and awareness, the soul can realize its identity as Śiva. "Each and every heartbeat and each and every cell in our body is the energy of Śiva." "One day, Jīva becomes the Śiva."

Memories

Memory is a foundational aspect of life, yet dwelling on the past is a waste of precious time. The past is gone like water that has flowed down a river; you cannot catch it again. Excessive attachment to past memories or to the dead body of a loved one is a sorrow for unreality. To progress spiritually, one must overcome such attachments. The advanced state of Trikāldarśī, seeing past, present, and future, is not easily attained and requires mastering one's own mind and memories first. God has placed security on such knowledge to maintain peace. If gained, this sight must be used with great care and discretion. To develop and maintain good memory, practice yogic postures like Śīrṣāsana that increase blood circulation to the brain and senses. Complement this with concentration and Āyurvedic practices, such as chewing a few soaked almonds daily with milk. A brilliant memory, free from attachment, leads to true bliss. "To think about the past is a waste of time. And wasting time is a sin." "Trikāldarśī means knowing the past, present, and future." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
