Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, and consciousness for Self-realization. It is the balancing principle between space and cosmic consciousness. The first manifestation in the universe was the cosmic sound Oṁ, the resonance from which the five elements and all creation emerged. The human being, one of 8.4 million life forms, possesses intellect. Our true identity is the immortal ātmā, not the individual soul bound by karma. We possess five bodies, from the physical to the blissful sheath. Liberation, or Mokṣa, is achieved by dissolving individual identity to become one with Brahman. This requires transcending karma created by thought, word, wealth, and action. The human body is a microcosm of the universe, with energy channels and chakras. The Kuṇḍalinī energy rests at the base of the spine. Its awakening through discipline and purification leads to wisdom and ultimate union. Practice is essential over mere theory. "Yoga is the balancing principle which balances all visible and invisible elements in the universe." "Know thyself' is the answer to all your sufferings." Filming location: London, UK DVD 378

Spirituality is the pure, divine consciousness within, beyond religious dogma. The universe is concentrated in the human heart, which is meant to be God's residence through compassion and love. Humanity's first duty is to protect all creation. The individual soul, covered by layers of karma and five bodies, is separate from the universal Self. Karma is the philosophy of action and reaction; our destiny is the product of our past deeds. Our current actions, which should be full of love, are in our hands. The physical world and body are impermanent, but karmic layers persist. The soul experiences physical and astral realities. The goal is to realize universal consciousness and reunite the individual with the cosmic One, a unity achieved through love and yoga, not ignorance. Humans possess an intellect that can be educated and developed. True education cultivates spiritual qualities and asks the fundamental questions of human purpose. The mission is to be a protector and achieve self-realization, freeing oneself from the cycle of karma and rebirth through spiritual practice. "Karma is the action which is in your hands. Our actions should be full of compassion." "The main aim of human life is to be a protector and get self-realization or God-realization, to become free from this bondage of karma."

Prāṇa is the fundamental life energy, distinct from breath, oxygen, or food. It sustains all living beings and harmonizes the physical and astral bodies. This energy is deeply connected to immunity; pure Prāṇa fosters health, while polluted Prāṇa weakens it. Prāṇāyāma is the exercise of this energy. Proper nourishment is essential Prāṇāyāma, requiring knowledge of seasonal foods and cooking science, or Pakṣāstra. Fasting purifies Prāṇa and regenerates the body when done correctly. Lifestyle and behavior also regulate Prāṇa; a positive atmosphere and loving conduct increase it, while fear and negativity deplete it. Ultimately, Prāṇa is non-dual consciousness, the very source of life. "Prāṇa is not oxygen. Prāṇa is not the breath. And Prāṇa is not what you derive from food." "Practicing Prāṇāyāma means taking care of your food. First is Āhāra (diet), and second is Vihāra (lifestyle/recreation)." Filming location: To b DVD 376

Human life is a precious opportunity for spiritual development and self-realization to escape the cycle of rebirth. We must be constantly God-conscious in thought and action, with faithful, unconditional love. Our aim is to realize the universal Ātmā, not the individual soul bound by karma. Even divine beings exemplify spiritual pursuit; Śiva meditates on Viṣṇu's cosmic form, and Viṣṇu meditates on Śiva as pure consciousness. In a Himalayan tale, Pārvatī persistently asks Śiva why he wears a garland of skulls. He reveals they are her past skulls, kept out of love that transcends death. Distressed by her mortality, she begs for the secret of immortality. Śiva agrees but insists on strict conditions to prevent universal disruption. He renounces his companions, finds a secluded cave, and creates a ring of fire to ensure secrecy. As he teaches Pārvatī, she must stay awake and affirm each point. She falls asleep, but a parrot chick from a surviving egg listens and responds, receiving the immortal wisdom instead. "Human life is given to protect all creatures, love God's creation, and attain self-realization, Mokṣa, Amaratattva." "Pārvatī, I will make you, your body and your ātmā, your soul, immortal. But if you are a devotee of the Lord God, why are you scared?" Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 374

True freedom arises from inner strength, not external dependencies. Seeking answers from astrologers or fortune-tellers only creates confusion and fear; these practices cannot truly see the past or future. Similarly, the belief that magic can influence you is a psychological fear that weakens your own willpower. Your unhappiness stems from inner weakness, fear, and attachment. The aim of human life is liberation from all karmic bondage and dependency. Do not depend on anyone—physically, emotionally, mentally, or financially—for this creates suffering. Practice detachment, for nothing you consider yours is permanent. A beautiful partnership is one of shared devotion and freedom, not dependency, where two souls unite in love without losing their inner liberty. "These people who are prophesying cannot see into the future, only psychology." "It is your fear that creates this... no magic can influence you. It is your weak thoughts and fear that are a terrible magic." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 372

The central theme is cultivating bhāva, meaning devotion, love, and trust, which determines spiritual gain or loss. This principle applies universally. Without bhāva, doubt creates separation and darkness. With unwavering bhāva, every cell vibrates with positive, healing light, creating oneness and dispelling negativity. This requires singular focus in practice and devotion. Mixing methods or harboring doubt invites failure. True devotion means unwavering trust in one master or path, which unites and liberates. Preserve this inner focus to maintain the light. "Bhagavān bhāv ke bhūkhe hai. God is only hungry for your bhāva." "Rahiman, dhaga prem ka mat toro chitkaya. The thread of love is very fragile. Do not break it out of your ignorance or doubt." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 371

Satsaṅg is the glory and the means to self-realization. All wisdom and spiritual development come from being with truth. Bad company is plentiful. Some, like a bitter pumpkin in holy water or a stone in the ocean, do not change; inner bitterness remains unless the heart finds its divine refuge. Satsaṅg is that boat to cross the ocean of ignorance. Human life is rare, and satsaṅg in this age is rarer still. Divine bliss is found there. Love functions in relationship, like between a devotee and the Divine. Satisfaction is needed; then bliss begins. Vairāgya, Jñāna, Tyāga, and Bhakti must be in balance. Desire is the great disease. Satsaṅg transforms, as ordinary wood near sandalwood becomes fragrant or dirty water merging in the Gaṅgā becomes holy. The blessed get this opportunity. One must be the disciple who acts without being asked, like the receptive worm that transforms into a wasp through concentrated resonance. Ultimately, one builds the inner temple. "So bow, satsaṅgī. What a glory of the satsaṅg." "Through the satsaṅg, param ānand sukha pāī." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 370

Svara Yoga balances breath for consciousness and liberation. The moon and sun nostrils govern emotion and intellect, mirroring lunar phases influencing nature and action. Human life has lost its natural rhythm with these cycles. Yogic consciousness remains awake even in sleep, known as Yoga Nidra. This practice widens awareness to perceive future events like illness or death by observing prana. The Ida and Pingala nadis alternate flow approximately every 45 minutes. Sleep position directs this flow: sleeping on the left side activates the right, solar nadi at night. Upon waking, the active nadi should align with the lunar fortnight—solar in the dark phase, lunar in the bright. Physical methods, like pressing the opposite armpit, can change the active nostril. The ultimate aim is to guide prana through the central Sushumna nadi to the crown chakra, the door to liberation. This merger of energy with consciousness is the essence of Kundalini and Tantra. The mantra OM resonates to activate this pathway. Daily activities like eating or walking should align with the correct nasal flow to master this science, making life clear and stable. "Widen your consciousness, you can become aware when you will die, which day, which time you can tell, when you will become ill, because you see the color of your prāṇa." "Finally, the aim is this: that our prāṇa should flow through the suṣumṇā to the sahasrāra cakra... the door to Brahman or the door to the Supreme." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 368

Śaṅkarācārya incarnated to restore the non-dual truth of Sanātana Dharma. Long ago, non-dualism was suppressed and dualism spread, obscuring the eternal principles. Śaṅkarācārya taught there is only one universal Ātmā—the one moon reflecting in every lake. Duality and fear exist only through ignorance, like mistaking a rope for a snake. When knowledge dawns, the oneness is seen. He revived the principle of seeing Brahman in everything. He established monastic centers and reformed rules, allowing sincere renunciation at any age. His successors continue to protect this Dharma. This protection is a perpetual struggle between higher and lower forces. Thus, structures were created to uphold the truth against misleading dualistic views. The renunciate's orange cloth symbolizes the purifying fire of this commitment. "Śaṅkarācārya incarnated to bring back this non-dualism: 'I am not this body... I am the Ātmā.'" "Whenever dharma gets lost... I manifest myself." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 367

True devotion is singular surrender to the divine. Many practice devotion, but the true devotee is one who sees the object of devotion as God and surrenders completely. Mastery comes from unwavering focus on one; seeking everything leads to loss. A devotee's sole wish is for divine service across all lives, desiring only the Lord's presence in thought, word, and deed. When the Guru, the source of all, is with you, what more is there to wish for? To have the Guru belong to you is to have everything. Do not waver in confidence. If you feel separation, trouble arises. Devotion is a fragile thread; once broken, it cannot be fully rejoined. There is devotion with desire and devotion without desire. The latter seeks only divine union. "Remove all my desires, only towards you, and let my love grow day by day to you." "When I found my Lord, the Lord of my heart, what should I search for more?"

Teachers must practice what they teach. Many who call themselves teachers are out of practice, while beginners are in better condition. Teachers who only instruct without demonstrating become unfit. Those who practice and correct postures remain healthy and inspire students. A consistent daily practice, like that of a 90-year-old teacher, yields flexibility and vitality. Students observe a teacher's condition; if it is poor, they leave. People need strict, hard work to feel compelled to return. Bhastrikā prāṇāyāma warms the body, cleans the respiratory system, and expands lung capacity. It strengthens the diaphragm and improves immunity. Life depends on breath; its cessation brings immense fear. Value each breath and use time wisely, for it will not return. The heart serves constantly; care for it and keep it strong through practice. "As long as you don't do it yourself, you are lost." "Life begins with the breath and will end with the breath." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 365

We practice the three bandhas together as Mahābandha. Bandha means to block or tighten, creating opposition to develop strength and energy, like pressure clearing a blocked drain. Contracting the anus muscle in Mūlabandha creates a pleasant sensation ascending the spine, pulling energy toward the head. This strengthens muscles controlling apāna, aiding issues like hemorrhoids, incontinence, and prostate health. It also improves intestinal circulation and digestion. For deeper practice, sustaining this sensation can lead to meditation and boost immunity. Uḍḍīyāna Bandha means to fly, pulling up the diaphragm and intestines to activate digestive fire and rest the heart. Jālandhara Bandha, combined with specific āsanas and mudrās, supports thyroid health and releases neck tension. These practices are both physically therapeutic and energetically awakening. "Wherever you try to close something, the tattvas, then if you try to block the tattvas, then the strength develops. Opposition develops. For what? To become free." "This sensation, which you feel only for a second or two seconds, you should be able to keep for five minutes, for 10 minutes, constantly... then you are intoxicated in divine energy."

Sādhanā is a lifelong path requiring unwavering confidence, for we work not for this transient life but for eternal divine consciousness. This life's events are temporary; we must analyze them, seeing hardships as guidance and pleasures as potential obstacles. Most are concentrated on material achievements, which are impermanent like bubbles on water. Nothing here is truly ours; it is given for use in self-realization. The greatest obstacle is losing motivation. Practice without expectation, for even after decades one may perceive no result, yet that steadfastness itself is the progress. Self-realization is not something one feels; to claim it is to lose it. Like a diamond unaware of its nature, one simply is. Therefore, never give up. An ant persistently carrying a grain of rice teaches this. Many things in life are both support and obstacle. One must decide the direction of consciousness and understand the difference between self-respect and ego. Proper dress and conduct show respect for society, whereas using appearance to attract attention creates spiritual obstacles. Modern commodification of the person, especially of women, leads to a dark future, undermining dignity and spiritual life. Relationships can also become traps if a partner demands abandonment of practice. Make your resolve with great belief for a positive aim. The spiritual heritage is the true wealth to be received and carried forward. "Self-realization is like a diamond. Ask the diamond if the diamond thinks that it's a diamond. But we decide that it's a diamond." "Therefore, decide once in life in which direction you want to lead your consciousness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 363

The Guru's grace is the supreme power that accomplishes the impossible. A doctor recounts a complex eye surgery where uncontrollable bleeding threatened the patient's sight. Remembering his Guru in prayer, he blindly inserted an instrument and the bleeding stopped miraculously, an act he attributes solely to divine grace. On another occasion, his car ran out of petrol far from home. After his family urged him to remember his Guru, the car started and drove the remaining distance, a blessing for safe passage. The Guru removes darkness. There is no substitute for the Guru's power; one must never test it but offer complete surrender and respect. "Please help this patient, not my professor... automatically the bleeding stopped." "It was truly a wonder that the car started again." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 362

Time's nature and our reality are examined through the lens of consciousness and dream. Time binds us, yet its existence is questionable. Our prime duty is to use it well. We possess intellect (buddhi) to judge reality (satya) from non-reality (asatya). What changes is non-reality; the unchanging is truth. The core practice is developing viveka (discrimination) to separate them. The final judgment is "Brahman is truth, the world is mithyā (appearance)." Our world could be a dream. Dreams are often past impressions or unfulfilled desires stored in the subconscious, arising as vāsanās. The mind transports these between subconscious and conscious; it is not responsible for your problems but can be directed. Memory can be a friend or enemy based on what it recalls. Desires repressed by intellect return in dreams or actions. Mastering dream consciousness involves observing transitions between waking, dreaming, and deep sleep, and learning to re-enter dreams after physical activity. This leads to understanding the three states and the fourth (turīya). Ultimately, neither waking nor dream life is ultimately real; only the witnessing Self is real, sat-cit-ānanda. Realizing this overcomes duality. "Brahma satya, jagat mithyā." "Therefore, the mind is not responsible for your thoughts and your problems." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 361

A beautiful day for spiritual practice begins. Every good beginning bears good fruit, and every negative beginning bears negative fruit. Spiritual practice is a form of healthy selfishness, working on one's inner self without taking from others. Human life is precious, yet humans create both the world's beauty and its ugliness, like war. Spiritual awakening means understanding pure thoughts and actions. To cultivate this, contemplate five questions: know you are human; ask what makes you human; identify human qualities like understanding and forgiveness; learn to cultivate them; and discover your life's mission of self-realization and being a light for others. This awareness is a protective shield. Satsang, or spiritual gathering, is rare and precious, a divine opportunity not found even in heaven, which can become a cage. Do not waste this human life chasing desires that can never be fulfilled, like a deer chasing a mirage. Utilize your time for spiritual work, collecting the diamonds of God's name, which are the true wealth that accompanies you. "Every good beginning bears good fruit, and every negative beginning bears negative fruit." "Human qualities are understanding, forgiveness, kindness, and love."

The greatest obstacle is spiritual blindness, which manifests even in sacred spaces. One attends a holy gathering yet remains consumed by worldly attachments like romance, indicating a profound inner desperation and disconnect from the spiritual purpose. Such blindness prevents understanding. True spiritual work requires discipline and surrender, treating every action as worship. Karma yoga is this sacred work; it purifies the mind, burns past karmas, and is the best therapy for mental unrest. It demands full concentration, like a dancer on a rope, undistracted by temptations. Life presents the opportunity to transform ugliness into beauty through dedicated practice and self-study. Ultimately, one must surrender all results to the divine. "Work is worship. Whatever karma yoga you are doing, it is not a work, but it is a ceremony, worshiping the Lord." "Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam. Oh, Arjuna, your yoga sādhanā will be successful through doing the karma yoga." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 339

The Anāhata Chakra is the center of the self and divine love. Kundalini awakening is the awakening of wisdom, happiness, contentment, and bliss, not physical symptoms which indicate psychic problems. This energy supports the ascent through the chakras. The Atma is the universal Self, already liberated and beyond karma. The individual soul, a shadow of the Atma, carries the karma of many lives. Liberation is for this soul to dissolve its bad karma and become one with the universal Atma. Self-realization means realizing your Self is one with the universal one; then karma cannot attack you as the individual is gone. Achieve this by avoiding negative thoughts, seeing all beings as your Self, and transforming negativity into divinity through love. The Anahata Chakra, when open, awakens limitless artistic intuition beyond the senses. This opening requires Bhakti, or devotion, gained only through holy company, which colors the heart with the color of God. "Awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means awakening of the wisdom, the knowledge. When the knowledge appears, then the happiness appears." "Ātmā is itself liberated. Ātmā is above the karma, beyond the destiny, and no one can close the Ātmā."

The true test of love and devotion is revealed in crisis, not comfort. A devotee requests troubles for believers so they constantly remember the divine name, while comfort leads to forgetfulness. True happiness is found where God's name resides, not in wealth which often makes spirituality disappear. Repeating a mantra deposits spiritual wealth. The temptation of worldly attachment is powerful, but with divine grace, nothing is lacking. The feeling of being poor or unloved is a delusion. Human relationships are tested in critical hours. Dharma is your discipline and obligation, especially in hardship. A true partner supports you completely in crisis. A story illustrates this: a disciple, intoxicated by marital happiness, believes his family's love is real. His master devises a test where the disciple feigns death. When offered a potion that would kill the drinker to revive him, his father, mother, and wife all refuse, revealing their self-interest. Only the master is willing to sacrifice himself. The disciple, awakened to the world's attachment and selfishness, returns to the spiritual path. "I adore and surrender to those problems which remind me every second, 'Thy name, my Lord.'" "You can only know them in a critical situation." Filming location: Umag, Croatia DVD 335

God comes only through love, not through rituals or offerings. Without love, the heart remains empty despite an open door. We become unfaithful and seek external solutions, but this leads nowhere. True wealth is contentment, which makes all material wealth like dust. Those with many desires are beggars and slaves to illusion. When contentment enters, one becomes intoxicated by God's name, the only immortal essence. Desiring different experiences is the hunger of a beggar. Be happy with what destiny provides. God sees the heart, not external displays. Pure devotion without selfishness is required, as shown when Krishna rejected a lavish meal for simple food offered with love. Parental love is paramount, so a parent should always be with young children. In spirituality, the soul has no gender, though societal roles differ. Desires are enemies that consume energy like ants consuming a bee. One should be like a honeybee, taking only the essence. A woman considered unattractive focused solely on love for God, waiting faithfully with an open heart, offering only the sweetest fruits. "Prabhu prem bīnā nahī̃ āve. God will not come to you without love." "Sāk Vidur ghar jākar khāyā... Prabhu prema binā nahī̃ āve." Filming location: Banska Bystrica, Slovakia DVD 334

The precious human life is a fleeting opportunity for spiritual awakening. Every moment and breath is a blessing. We exist on both physical and astral planes, losing astral memory here but retaining physical memory there. The eternal, non-dual Ātmā is distinct from the individual soul, or jīva, which carries karma and experiences duality. Suffering persists until knowledge of the Ātmā is realized. Human life is precious because the jīva seeks it to perform spiritual practice and shift from individual identity to universal awareness. Time passes irrevocably; youth and energy fade like morning dew. We are visitors here, and only our accumulated positive or negative energy accompanies us onward. Therefore, utilize this life for goodness, meditation, and inspiring spiritual consciousness in others. Never consider yourself too old or time too short. A true teacher serves as a clear channel for wisdom, not mixing in personal ideas. In this age, materialistic focus erodes spirituality, so we must resolve to preserve and share it. "Manuṣya janam amolaka hai. This human life is a very precious diamond." "Yeh jeevan aṅjali kā pānī, ṭapak ṭapak ṭapajai re. It will drip out very soon."

The Kumbh Melā embodies the Hindu quest for immortality and divine union. Spirituality is the mortal's longing for the eternal. The festival commemorates drops of nectar falling at four sites during a mythical battle. Millions gather at the confluence of sacred rivers. The procession of ascetics and masters celebrates unity and joy rooted in scriptural truth. Yoga reveals the immortal self within. The true urn of nectar is the human body; its nervous systems and energy channels mirror the sacred rivers. Their confluence at the Ājñā Cakra is the inner Saṅgam, the goal of all yoga. The festival is a massive act of faith where pilgrims bathe to purify karma and seek liberation. Initiates take sannyāsa, renouncing worldly life to pursue immortality. The gathering is a confluence of divine souls, a dance of spiritual strength where the human spirit transcends mortality. The aim is God-realization, realizing the Self as Brahman. "If there is any place on the face of this earth where all the dreams of living man have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India." "It is wonderful, the power of faith that can make multitudes upon multitudes of the old and weak, the young and frail, enter without hesitating or complaint upon such incredible journeys."

The ideal of lifelong marriage and natural living contrasts with modern artificiality. Marriage should be a complete, singular union—remarriage is discouraged. True relationship persists beyond death. Modern culture, however, promotes disorder, with women particularly manipulated into artificiality through fashion and cosmetics, losing their natural dignity and noble roles as mothers, wives, and daughters. Nature rejects this artifice, as even animals react negatively. Human life is precious and should not be wasted in conflict or serial relationships. Our purpose is to serve, love, meditate, and realize God. Remember you are human; this neutralizes negative animalistic tendencies like anger and jealousy. Your greatest enemy is taking offense, which stems from a lack of wisdom to understand others. Unite and open your heart, for universal principles like love belong to all. "Even when death takes my life, I will not cease to be faithful." "Your greatest enemy, and stupidity, and ignorance is taking offense." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 329

The Kumbh Melā reveals the power of faith and austerity. This ancient festival is for all humanity, preserved by tradition. Millions arrive uninvited, yet find perfect organization: free food, medical aid, and facilities on the riverbank sand. People endure extreme cold with minimal cloth, practicing tapasyā. Visitors from cold climates, heavily bundled, still fell ill, showing how comfort weakens the body. Spiritual progress requires steadfast practice, not seeking many masters or techniques. A story illustrates this: a disciple wasted decades searching, then wasted ten days digging wells wherever his master pointed each morning. The master revealed this mirrored his life—digging holes everywhere yields no water, just as changing paths yields no realization. Stay with one teaching. Realization is blocked by our own lack of vairāgya, tyāga, and tapasyā. "If you follow one thing, you will have perfection over everything." "Ek saje sab saje, sab saje sab jāe." "Śabd tīr kī aise lagī, miṭ gayā man magrūr." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 328

The nature of true spiritual perfection is contrasted with ego and misuse. Our lineage reveres the great sage Kapila, whom Krishna names as the perfect Siddha. India is an ocean of wisdom found in its scriptures, which teach the dignity of human life beyond mere animal existence. A true Siddha, like Kapila, possesses supreme self-control and clarity, revered even by the divine. However, seeking powers for oneself is dangerous. Proclaiming a Siddhi invites the thief of ego and anger, which steals it. A story illustrates this: a demon gained the power to destroy with a touch and immediately tried to test it on Shiva, forcing Vishnu to cleverly cause the demon's self-destruction. Therefore, true attainment brings humility, not proclamation. The only siddhis we readily possess are basic bodily functions. "Baḍā na bole bol—the great do not speak of their glory." "If you want to attain Siddhis, do not proclaim your Siddhi." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 327

The Kumbha pot symbolizes the nectar of immortality, a truth within spiritual practice. During the Kumbh Melā, bathing at the sacred confluence during an auspicious constellation cleanses karma and bestows blessings. I took the ritual bath for all devotees, transferring the merits for their health and realization. The immense gathering generates a collective spiritual energy that awakens inner strength. However, the spiritual path is often obscured by false claims of psychic powers and siddhis. Many pretend to see auras or tell futures, exploiting pure-hearted seekers. Such lies are a great sin and a major obstacle. True spiritual power manifests naturally through presence and goodness, not for show or gain. Do not be deceived by those offering magical solutions or creating fear. Your focus must remain on genuine devotion and practice under a true lineage. Expectations lead to disappointment; be like the steadfast banyan tree, providing shelter without attachment. The ultimate goal is self-realization, ending all suffering. "Satya barabar tap nahi, jhoot barabar pāp—there is no austerity more than truth, and no greater sin than to lie." "Be that banyan tree which welcomes everyone, is never overwhelmed, and never sad."

This is a story about a devotee's unwavering obedience to his master. Long ago, a young boy named Upamanyu sought Self-realization. His master gave only harsh work and denied him food. Upamanyu was forbidden from begging twice or drinking the cows' milk. He survived on foam from the cows' mouths. During a storm, he used his own body to plug a breach in a field. Later, starving, he ate poisonous leaves and went blind, falling into a well. When the master found him, he chanted a mantra. The god Aśvinī Kumār appeared, offering food. Upamanyu refused to eat without offering to his master first. For this ultimate devotion, he was blessed with Self-realization. The master revealed the disciple's suffering had always been in the master's own heart. "Master, I could not stop the water. And if I would not stop the water, I would not be able to fulfill my Guru Vākya. So I decided myself to lie here to block the water." "Even though you are God, you are giving me bhikṣā, you are giving me food to eat. I cannot eat without offering to my master." Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia DVD 325

We are working on the awakening of spiritual consciousness. Consciousness contains strata of ignorance and past destiny. Purifying it by overcoming the bad and developing the good is the spiritual awakening. Ignorance is like darkness in a cave; it vanishes when light is brought. Our inner self is cosmic light, covered by three layers: mala (impurity), vikṣepa (disturbances), and āvaraṇa. Disturbances are the three tapas: troubles from others (Ādhibhautik), from within like disease (Ādhyātmik), and from astral beings (Ādhidaivik). Your mantra is the weapon to purify these, burn negative karma, and realize everlasting bliss, Paramanandam. Where there is light from mantra and Guru's blessing, no negative energy or magic can harm you. Fear creates ghosts; knowledge dispels them. You are an immortal soul with eternal inner light and the cosmic resonance of Aum. Awaken self-confidence and fearlessness through spiritual power. Do not do negative things. We need the Guru's blessing. "Similarly, in our consciousness or in our intellect, we have the darkness of ignorance. And when ignorance is present, then fear emerges from your subconscious." "Where there is ignorance, there is fear, there is darkness. And where there is knowledge, there is light, there is happiness." Filming location: Novo Mesto, SLO DVD 324

Awakening spiritual consciousness depends on the Maṇipūra Cakra, a purification and fire center. Consciousness resides within the five sheaths of the phenomenal being. The soul, or ātmā, exists within these bodies. As long as negative karmas and qualities persist, the astral body and individuated soul exist. Freedom from these leads to becoming wisdom itself, merging into infinity. Destiny is the product of past actions. You have freedom to act through body, mind, speech, and resources, but not to choose the results. Good karma leads toward light; bad karma toward darkness. The human body contains energy centers and 72,000 nerves, controlled by three primary channels. The left channel connects to the mind and emotion; the right to intellect and fire; the central to consciousness. Consciousness is pure but colored by deeds and experiences. Unfulfilled desires and unresolved problems reside in the subconscious, creating disturbances. The main cakras are energy centers along the spinal column. Past karma is dormant in the Mūlādhāra cakra. Awakening the Kuṇḍalinī energy awakens wisdom and purifies negative karmas, leading to spiritual qualities. This is achieved through authentic practice. The body is an instrument to be kept pure and returned to God. Liberation requires renouncing attachments and negative qualities. "You have the freedom to act, but you have no freedom to choose the result of your deeds." "Awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means awakening the best qualities. Where there is light, darkness disappears."

The Maṇipūra Chakra is the city of jewels, the source of true richness. The greatest treasure is good health, achieved only through practice. Theory is nothing without it. Neglecting daily discipline allows negative qualities like jealousy and anger to return, destroying your inner harmony. Discipline is your inner master and the key to success; it is the rising sun. You must love all neighbors—every creature and plant—without condition. Never claim you lack time; we make time for what we value. This chakra is a mine of jewels: health, purified consciousness, and balanced karma. Contentment is the second richness; without it, you are a slave to your senses. The third is devotion to the Supreme, an unconditional love. The awakening of this chakra brings the fourth treasure: wisdom. The fire of Maṇipūra purifies all karma, burning it to ashes so pure consciousness remains. Your ego is the thief that steals these jewels. Kill this ego. When negativity disappears, pure spiritual consciousness awakens, uniting all in one family. This energy becomes a protective force. To gain it, you must love all and see the divine in everyone. "Tons of theory is nothing compared to a gram of practice." "Your greatest enemy and the thief who steals all jewels of your maṇipūra is the ego." Filming location: Slovenia DVD 322

Sacred spaces possess a distinct spiritual atmosphere that influences all layers of being. This energy harmonizes the physical, mental, subtle, and causal bodies. The physical body receives healing, and the mind finds calm, reducing stress and confusion. Disharmony among these bodies creates anxiety and illness. Purification comes from visiting such places for meditation, prayer, or mantra repetition. These practices align the bodies and counteract worldly problems fueled by uncontrolled desires. Desires are natural, but human greed has lost the natural limits known to other life. Purifying the causal body through spiritual discipline and wisdom brings harmony and ends suffering. "When you go into a church, nobody needs to tell you to be silent. Automatically, you are silent." "Therefore, visiting a holy place—it doesn't matter, church, temple, ashram, synagogue, mosque—and sit for a while." Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia DVD 321

The body and the universe are indescribable, containing undiscovered depths. Modern science has not discovered the body completely. The universe holds immense, unknown energy. Vedānta philosophy teaches non-dualism, that reality is one. Different forms exist, like various cups, but the essence is singular, like one moon reflected in many. This oneness means others are yourself. The space within a pot, a house, the heart, consciousness, and the cosmos are ultimately the same space, divided only by walls. This division is duality and ignorance. The immortal reality is the space itself, not the forms within it. Purified consciousness sees this unity. The universal mother is the endless space, and the cosmic consciousness within it is the golden embryo. Yoga is the principle that balances and harmonizes the entire universe. This unity is felt, not seen, as a resonance like love. All creation stems from one consciousness. "Look into every cup, and you will see one moon inside." "The reality is the water, the liquid."

The purpose of human life is self-realization, Ātmā Jñāna. We are souls traveling through cycles of rebirth, bound to this mortal world by destiny created through our karma. This destiny, like waves, directs our individual journey through pain, pleasure, and separation. The body is mortal, but the Ātmā is immortal. Our human intellect, which distinguishes us, must be used to transcend physical desires and attachment. We must accept our destiny while striving to return to our origin of supreme bliss. This requires disciplined daily practice, rooting out desires and anger, and receiving a mantra from the Guru. Satsaṅg provides essential wisdom and motivation. Through consistent mantra repetition and following the Guru's teachings, spiritual qualities blossom, leading to self-knowledge. This realized wisdom must then be shared with compassion. "Truth is ever... Truth, the evidence of that truth, will never die." "Therefore, be content. Inside, be relaxed and accept the destiny, and try to come back to the origin." Filming location: Debrecen, Hungary DVD 318

Forgiveness is the path to end suffering caused by past hurt. The mind may wish to forgive, but the heart may refuse. Ask that refusing part what it wants to do instead, for any negative action creates more bad karma. The hurt happened because it was in your destiny; perhaps it was karmic revenge for a past action. If it was not, then by not forgiving you only create new karma and ensure your own constant suffering. The event itself is not terrible; suffering comes from a lack of understanding and an inflexible heart. You are not forced to suffer; you choose to by holding on. Therefore, forgive for your own benefit. Even holy beings must suffer their destined karma. Life is waves of happiness and unhappiness; the body's nature is to be born, grow, and die. This body is a house of disease and trouble, yet we are attached to it. Use this lifetime well. "Whatever you will do against them, it's again gaining more bad karma." "A person who cannot forgive, a person who is not flexible... this kind of person will be suffering all the time." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 313

Repetition is necessary for spiritual development because we forget and remain trapped in the cycle of saṃsāra. Our inner instrument, the antaḥkaraṇa—mind, intellect, consciousness, and ego—is dominated by the mind, which makes us its slave. The intellect must return to viveka, or discernment. The influence of Kali Yuga promotes greed and selfishness, making gold into a false god, contrary to all spiritual teachings that advocate a simple life. Our dormant mental tendencies, like fire, can awaken and destroy us. We are actors in a drama, but only in human life can we meet the Guru and achieve liberation. Therefore, one's aim must remain clear. Satsaṅg is the vehicle that carries you to your destination regardless of turbulence; it is the essential shelter and the remedy for a stressful life. Purify the antaḥkaraṇa daily and do not withdraw from satsaṅg, even when difficulties arise from past karma or relationships. "The mind is my slave, and you are the slave of the mind." "Satsaṅg is that aeroplane which will bring us to the Brahmaloka." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 312

The continuity of spiritual practice requires unwavering motivation and love, which are easily lost. Many begin practices but fail to maintain them, like teachers who instruct yet do not practice themselves. Starting is easy, like building a house, but continuation demands inner effort. Your aim provides motivation; losing it means losing your path. Sādhanā is the bucket to draw water from the well, and motivation is the rope. If the rope of willpower breaks near the top, all progress is lost. Negative thinking rots this rope. Doubt is a bacterium that can kill mighty motivation. A story tells of a yogi ready to quit after forty fruitless years. Watching an ant persistently carry a grain up a tree, falling and trying again, taught him never to give up. Life has problems and noise, like a water pump; to have water, you must accept the noise. Problems are the school of life and will never be fully solved. Therefore, you must find time for sādhanā. When love is lost, everything is lost. Water your practice with love, care, and wisdom, as a dry plant revives with water, light, and fertilizer. This harmony for body, mind, and soul is possible only if you do it. "Your negative thinking towards your aim is very bad. You should not have this thinking." "Love is lost; everything is lost. Then you have no motivation." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 311

The essence of life is love, which all beings seek as happiness. Our body is the battlefield of Kurukṣetra, where the eternal war between dharma and adharma occurs. Dharma is our compassion and love; adharma is our ego and hate. Victory depends on which side we fight for. Divine connection requires love, not mere ritual. All existence is a temporary wave within a permanent ocean of unity, connected through sanātana relations. Spiritual practice requires holding fast to the master amidst life's grind, dedicating selfless service as true gratitude. Our ultimate aim is liberation, not material gain. "Prem hī jīvan hai, life is tas, liben. Love is the life." "God will not come without love... if there is no love inside, it will not come." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 310

Excessive thinking consumes your energy and destroys concentration. This loss of mental energy is a violation of brahmacharya, which means losing vitality not only through sexuality but through illness, nervousness, and restless thought. Thinking that brings happiness gains energy, but thinking that brings unhappiness drains it tremendously, leading to a loss of focus and personal radiance. Your own negative thoughts are a form of self-torture, harming you and distancing you from your spiritual path. Life is a flow; dwelling on the past or future wastes the present moment. This mental mechanism is like a reactor and is very difficult to stop. Every thought and word you emit affects you first, like a boomerang returning. The external world from Satya Yuga has not changed; only your internal attitude has. You must therefore master your inner world through disciplined practice, positive thinking, and following a structured spiritual life to regain energy and purpose. "Thinking which makes you unhappy, then you are losing energy. It consumes tremendous mental energy, and your concentration vanishes." "Every thought that goes out of your brain, whatever you speak, will first influence you or come back to you." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 308

Oneness is the core principle, where all existence is a sacred manifestation of the one God. Hinduism believes in one God, Brahman. All other deities are manifestations or principles, like the five elements, given holy names to inspire respect and prevent pollution. Every living being is a light of that one God. We celebrate and respect all creation, including trees and animals, recognizing their divine roles. This respect extends to daily life, where food is God and nothing should be wasted. Harmony with nature is essential for happiness. Human relationships, like marriage, should seek oneness, ideally guided by astrological harmony rather than mere emotion. Your name, chosen based on birth constellations, carries protective power. Numbers and symbols also influence life. Regular satsang, communion with truth through prayer, good company, or meditation, is vital to avoid negativity and stay aligned. The body is a divine, temporary garment for the soul; keep it pure and do not waste time. "Eko-Brahma-Dvitīya-Nāsti. There is only one God, that is called Brahman." "Lead your life in harmony with nature. Then you will be happy." Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia DVD 306

God speaks through the human heart as a divine instrument. God is in every heart, but adoration goes to the heart through which God speaks to the world. To share that wisdom is a blessing. Our duty is to serve and protect all. When you work selflessly as a karma yogī, you become God's instrument. Though you have limits, extra energy comes, and you enjoy the service; this is God consciously working through you. Like a runner's high, selfless work awakens extra spirituality. Be like a great tree offering shade and fruit to all, not a barren palm tree. Joy is in giving. As you give, you receive manifold. If you give unkind words, you suffer more inside. If you give kindness, you have inner peace. Serve until your last breath. To be a teacher of this wisdom is to be a channel of God's love through practical help. You never know if you will get such a life again. Protect the dignity of your origins and serve all. "Baḍā huā to kyā huā, jaise ped khajūr. Panthī ko chāyā nahī̃." "Service to all creatures is service to me." Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia DVD 305

True spiritual wealth is found in satsang, not in material greed. A woman heard that a saint's visit made "diamonds rain," a metaphor for spiritual wisdom. She invited a fraud, hoping for literal diamonds. He revealed her greed, explaining true "diamonds" come from sacred company, not deception. This illustrates the two paths: Uthan (elevation) through Sat Sangha (good company) and Patan (downfall) through Ku Sangha (bad company). Satsang is the rare, transformative touchstone in this age. A greedy man asked God for a golden touch, a wish that ruined his life, showing that desires for powers trap us. True grace is wishing only for divine mercy. The Guru transforms the disciple's essence, unlike a stone that merely changes metal. "Therefore, it is said that in this Kali Yuga, it is very rare to have a satsaṅg. Without satsaṅg, you cannot achieve and you cannot get knowledge." "Paras makes iron into gold, but Paras does not make the iron into Paras. The Guru makes the disciple into a Guru."

The Ātmā is your true self, the form of peace and divine bliss, which is immortal and within. We seek happiness outside, but it is our own nature. Realization is obstructed by three impurities: Mala, Vikṣepa, and Āvaraṇa. Mala is impurity in thought, emotion, and action, which blocks clarity and love. Vikṣepa is disturbance from external problems and restless thoughts that agitate the mind like waves on water. Āvaraṇa is the curtain of ignorance, not knowing the Self and not listening. Remove these through purity, minimizing trouble, and satsaṅg. Then you see your immortal Ātmā. Animal energies like anger and jealousy, rooted in the lower chakras, must be purified through renunciation and directing all consciousness toward the divine. "Where there is impurity, love doesn't come. Where there is impurity, the Divine Śakti doesn't come." "Remove the āvaraṇa of ignorance. To remove the āvaraṇa of ignorance, the best way is satsaṅg."

Yoga is the universal principle of balance, harmony, and union. It is ancient, as old as the planet itself, and not merely a physical exercise. The many branches and teaching styles are like different architects using the same materials. The core principles constitute a way of life: sāttvic vegetarian nourishment, ahiṃsā, love for all creatures, positive thinking, and the ultimate aim of God-realization. This spirituality is essential; without it, practice is only a physical, unreal pursuit of a destructible body. One must cultivate mental power and self-inquiry. Yoga must not be commercialized or turned into competition. While no one owns yoga, specific quality programs may be protected to preserve purity. Inconsistent practice, such as mixing yoga with meat and alcohol, contradicts its essence. The various yogas—Bhakti, Karma, Rāja, Jñāna—are interdependent, like the elements of a body. Human tendency is to think negatively, but yoga develops positive understanding and trust. "Yoga is that principle which balances the entire universe." "Without spirituality, there is no yoga."

True knowledge is Ātmajñāna, self-realization, as taught in ancient wisdom. We have forgotten this natural Dharma. Even celestial bodies like the sun and moon, understood deeply through meditation by ancient seers, reveal divine immanence. The path requires the Guru's instruction, service, and grace. A story illustrates this: Viśvāmitra, after great austerity, sought the title Brahmaṛṣi from Vasiṣṭha, who refused. Consumed by anger, Viśvāmitra killed Vasiṣṭha's cow and plotted his murder. Upon overhearing Vasiṣṭha spontaneously call him "Brahmaṛṣi," Viśvāmitra was transformed, begging forgiveness. He offered the fruits of his 60,000-year Tapasyā. Vasiṣṭha offered instead the fruit of one minute in Satsaṅg. A dispute arose, taken even to Śeṣanāga, who demonstrated that the merit of a minute's Satsaṅg outweighed millennia of solitary penance. Thus, true attainment comes not from forced effort but through grace and righteous company, leading to the ultimate truth beyond time. "Scientists now say moonlight is more important for plants, vegetation, and fruits than sunlight." "One minute of Satsaṅg is much, much more than 60,000 years of the torment of the Bhāṣya."

The lineage of grace begins with spiritual birth from parents rich in heart through lives of austerity, not fanaticism. Such couples are tested across generations. A holy soul incarnates into such a family. Parents naturally desire conventional happiness for their child; renunciation from disappointment is not pure detachment. Rare are those who find and recognize the true spiritual lineage and master. This meeting is the fruit of destiny. The time of Godhūlī, when cows depart, is sacred. Cows embody divinity; harming them is a grave sin. Spiritual power from the masters is an inheritance we multiply. Spiritual progress requires renouncing negative qualities like jealousy and anger, or one risks lower rebirths through karma. Your speech and actions reserve your future state. One should avoid places where God is disrespected. "Rare are those who find the Satguru Deva and that spiritual lineage, which assures spiritual development." "Your criticism reserves your place. It is not dependent on me or you, but on our actions: what we think, feel, and speak." Filming location: To be DVD 295

To be a teacher is to become a channel for divine wisdom, a special blessing. All knowledge is God's gift, flowing through you to others. Knowledge requires additional knowledge; you must know when to use it and when not to, like a loyal monkey with a sword who removes a fly but also the king's nose. A teacher, especially a yoga teacher, must know what, when, and how to teach. Spiritual knowledge is universal, not bound to religion or country. If you do not use your knowledge, it disappears with your death. A master gives guidance in physical form, but his grace remains after the body is gone. You must surrender to the spiritual lineage. If you teach with ego, saying "I can do it," you create a blockage. Spirituality is lost if you treat it as a temporary holiday. You must dedicate your life and learn to give. To teach, you must first master yourself, answer your own doubts, and be clear. Otherwise, you are not a true channel. "Knowledge requires another knowledge. You must know when to use it and when not to use it." "A master can give you liberation and guidance as long as he is in physical form. Afterward, if you pray and meditate, some of his spiritual energy will come as a kind of protection." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 294

Yoga is the balancing and harmonizing principle of life and the universe, essential for human existence. It means union and is the foundation of all realization, from building a happy family to seeking knowledge. The common practice of postures and breath is merely kindergarten; the full path leads through ethical living, self-inquiry, and ultimately to asking "Who am I?" We must live by principles like non-violence, love, and forgiveness. Our condition is like Arjuna, who was with God but did not recognize Him; a curtain of ignorance separates us from knowing our true Self. Yoga in daily life is a 24-hour system to transform human into divine, requiring we protect ourselves from negative speech and thoughts, symbolized by the three monkeys. It means building up the human, protecting the environment, and using kind words even towards the unfriendly. The goal is to achieve life's aims—duty, material needs, right desire, and liberation—while inspiring spirituality in others. We must wake up to the rare chance of human life. "Yoga in daily life means leading your life according to yoga 24 hours a day. If you deny or break the law, you have broken that chain." "To be a practitioner of yoga in daily life means you are learning how to rescue creatures. You are the saviour of all seekers, all beings." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 293

A yoga teacher's effectiveness is destroyed by subconscious prejudices, which must be cleansed to experience the true value of practice. We carry wrong ideas like hidden salt, making all experiences taste the same and blocking real benefit. Many teachers fail because they operate from these impressions, losing the devotion and confidence that define spiritual teaching. Without this inner conviction, one becomes like a wingless bird, vulnerable and unable to fly, searching externally for what can only be found within. Practices like Sūrya Namaskāra and Kathā Praṇām each have their own dignity, but one cannot discern or enjoy their unique benefits with a contaminated perception. The loss of faith leads to a hollow search through other disciplines, but the inner emptiness rejects all substitutes. True teaching requires deep personal experience, analytical ability, and unwavering love for the path, free from commercial interest or negative gossip. The core principle is "nahaṃ kartā"—I am not the doer; the divine is the doer. "When you have yellow glasses, then you see everything yellow." "If you have not found within yourself, you will not find outside." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 292

Yoga is the principle uniting space and consciousness. The universe is endless space, Brahman, filled with Universal Consciousness. The balance between this cosmic body and its conscious essence is yoga. This balance manifests as harmony, resulting in the union of the individual self with the cosmic Self. The obstacles to this union are internal: negative thoughts and qualities. These disturbances are like insubstantial bubbles, yet they create suffering through projected ignorance. Only you can remove these obstacles through honest self-enquiry. Many approach practice like a child refusing to stand, remaining paralyzed despite guidance. True yoga is the divine balancing principle of the universe, from which creation arises. Common physical exercises are not yoga; liberation requires changing the inner attitude. Meditation is essential, but it cannot be forced; it arises spontaneously like sleep, from dispassion towards worldly entanglement. Attempts to meditate often remain preoccupied with worldly problems. The transition in meditation moves consciousness from worldly concerns to divine and then cosmic awareness. "Yoga means the balancing principle. The manifestation of this balance is harmony, and the result of harmony is unity." "Meditation cannot be practiced. Meditation comes of itself, like sleep." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 291

Yoga in Daily Life is the systematic practice to realize harmony for body, mind, and soul. The body's dharma is to be born, grow, and die. We are like mobile trees but often live unhealthily, creating disturbances. Suffering arises from three sources: other creatures, astral forces, and the mind itself. Through exercises, prāṇāyāma, nourishment, and meditation, we harmonize the body's systems. A harmonized body leads to a calm mind. The world is created from the mind; your thinking shapes your reality. If you think you are lonely or poor, you are. If you think you are happy and loved, you are. Mastering the mind is essential; without mastery, you are its slave, like the king in the story. A disciplined daily routine of practice fills empty space and creates happiness. True, lasting happiness is not found in external, temporary things but within. Harmony for the soul comes from inner contentment. Live according to yogic principles for 24 hours. Accept what is. If you see faults in others, you are mistaken. Nothing can disturb you when you are kind and friendly. "Being a king does not mean that you are a master of your mind." "Mental harmony is only how you think—harmony or disharmony." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 290
