Yoga is for body, mind, and consciousness, aiming for comfort, health, and balance. The essence is to feel comfortable and happy, not to compete or force the body. The yoga mat itself is called an āsana, meaning a seat or a comfortable posture. Health is foundational; without it, everything is nothing. Breath is life, and prāṇa is the cosmic energy distinct from oxygen, flowing through the nerves. The body has 72,000 nerves, with three central channels—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā—vital for receiving this energy. Hatha Yoga balances the lunar and solar energies within these channels. Practices like Vajrāsana after eating aid digestion by calming the nervous system. Prāṇāyāma cleanses and sustains life, as breath is more crucial than food or water. Ultimately, yoga is a personal tool for health and happiness, requiring self-responsibility to overcome inner obstacles like jealousy and anger. "Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health." "Prāṇa is that energy, cosmic energy, not oxygen. Prāṇa is supplied by the Cosmic Mother free of charge."

Yoga for Body and Beyond is a science of union, harmonizing, and balancing body, mind, consciousness, and soul. Yoga means union and reunion. Its three principles are union, harmonizing, and balancing. Space is the mother’s body, consciousness the embryo within, and the third principle unites them. From a primordial wish to multiply came vibration, sound, light, and all creation. Among 8.4 million species, only human possesses intellect, requiring education. Health is foundational—physical, mental, social, spiritual health bring wholeness. Yoga's branches span from physical health to union with the infinite. Yoga exercises differ from sports; they begin with discipline, decided immediately, not postponed. Discipline is anuśāsanam: decide now, not tomorrow. Good health relies on environment, positive thinking, and proper nourishment through organic, vegetarian food when possible. Breath is life: inhalation at birth, exhalation at death; slow breathing prolongs life. Control breath through Prāṇāyāma to harmonize all bodily systems. Practice sequence: body warming, stretching, postures, then breath work, then relaxation and meditation. Sleep is divine relaxation; the mind guides the body, so mental balance is crucial. Slow down activity to reduce tension and enhance joy. Master waking, dreaming, and sleeping states to move beyond body to consciousness. "Yoga begins with discipline."

Human life is a struggle to find the path back to our origin, like a river flowing to the ocean or rain seeking the sea. The soul travels through ages, and a human birth is a chance to return. We are all moving toward the light, bound by belief and destiny, which exists whether we accept it or not. Attachment leads the soul astray, causing it to descend into lower lives. The Guru principle is supreme; it can alter what seems destined and guides the soul back. Following the Guru's instruction is essential for liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Our spiritual lineage originates from the Himalayan master Alakpurījī, connecting through a succession of masters to the present. We are fortunate to have this guidance toward merging with the eternal light. "Anhoni guru kar sake, honi deta mitai, par Brahma Gurudev hai, sab kuch deta banai."

Self-inquiry begins by asking "how am I" before asking "who am I." Theory is insufficient without practice. The human intellect is a powerful tool requiring proper education. This essential human education comes primarily from parents, shaping one's nature for life. Humans are born as protectors, meant to foster peace, harmony, and understanding. True human qualities are kindness, humbleness, forgiveness, and compassion. Helping others does not diminish one's wealth; giving is a gain. Greed creates fear and isolation, whereas social education through family prevents suffering and conflict. Meditation repairs a lack of social understanding by turning inquiry inward to examine one's actions and nature. The ultimate realization is unity with the divine light present in all. "Helping hands have more value than folded hands." "The thread of love is very fragile, very gentle. Do not break it with a little misunderstanding."

Self-enquiry meditation involves two steps. First, ask "How am I?" to examine your qualities and character. Second, ask "Who am I?" to understand you are not the body, breath, mind, or intellect. Do not hide from this inquiry, for you and the divine know your inner state. Open your heart and view to these realities within. Sit comfortably, withdraw from the external world, and be aware of your being. Consciousness can expand instantly beyond imagination. Unfulfilled desires and unfinished life chapters lie dormant within. These unresolved matters can be dissolved through wisdom, which is the next step beyond initial inquiry. "How am I?" "Who am I?"

Our lineage is rooted in Śiva, connecting us through stories that convey spiritual truths. Every saint has a lineage. Our seat traces back to the Himalayas and the kingdom of Alak Purī. A queen vowed her children would attain liberation. She taught her last son, Alarka, both kingship and spiritual knowledge. Before departing for the forest, she gave him a ring inscribed with the message: "This will not remain." This teaches that all conditions, joy or sorrow, are transient. Another story tells of the poet Kālidāsa. A shepherd, through a clever ruse, married a learned princess. Her kick awakened his latent wisdom. He became a great scholar, devoted to the Divine Mother Kālī, and wrote profound works. His poem Meghadūta involves a messenger using clouds to send words to his wife. Kubera, the treasurer, dwelled in Alakpurī. A servant, cursed to separation, sent messages via clouds. Our paramparā flows from these Himalayan roots: Alakpurījī, Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and forward. We are united in this divinity. "This will not remain."

Truth requires discernment to avoid harm. A truthful statement that causes injury is not the highest truth. One must find a middle path. A sage, asked by a hunter where a deer fled, faced a dilemma: truth leads to killing, a lie to sin. He engaged the hunter with mantra and food, transforming him without falsehood. Truth is protected by wisdom. Another tale warns of a ghost on a path. Travelers ignore a sage's warning, find gold, and are destroyed by their own greed. The ghost was metaphorically the illusion of desire. Truth is knowing reality from unreality. Discernment separates nectar from poison. The world is transient; only Brahman is real. Speak truth and keep your word. "Who saw cannot speak, and who speaks cannot see." "Brahman is truth; the world is unreal." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Rāja Yoga reveals the distinction between a king and a saint. A king is adored only in his kingdom, but a saint is revered everywhere. Claiming kingship without others' acknowledgment holds no reality. Thus, first become king of yourself by mastering your body and mind. This inner rule requires feeling pleasant within, whether eyes open or closed. Negative thoughts cause discomfort; think instead, "I am bliss." A Rāja Yogī avoids hiṃsā against oneself, including the sin of suicide. Human life is given by God to serve creation, not for despair. Everyone comes and goes alone, so maintain inner happiness. The misuse of love for individuals leads to suffering and separation. God is not emotion; true love is universal and equal for all. Technology has separated humans; rebuilding family and community is vital. Walk the path of truth with discernment to protect against untruth. The master and disciple story illustrates complete trust in the guru. The guru resolved karmic revenge by taking blood without the disciple's fear. The disciple's trust allowed the guru to act, ending multi-life conflict. Such trust dissolves enmities and brings freedom. "The king is worshipped in his kingdom, but a Gurudeva is worshipped in the entire world." "Why should I be afraid? When Gurudeva, you protect me, I have given my life into your hands."

The discipline of Raja Yoga is the path of light. Raja Yoga is discipline from the first step to beyond death. The Vajranāḍī runs from the feet to the crown, grounding the body like a lightning rod. When the soul exits, it departs with immense speed, like a rising flame. Funeral rites do not reach it; the dark realm is below, and the light flies toward the sun. This is Prakāś, light merging into light. Practice one point of light. Remain in one paramparā, without wandering. Without a guide, the soul drifts among stars, loses all direction, and falls into darkness. The master tests devotion with impossible commands. A true disciple cannot hide any act from the divine witness. The pigeon story shows: one saw physical hiding, the other saw God’s all-seeing eye, and no eye can be tied. Old satsaṅgs gathered silently, under moon or stars, with a single tānpurā, no electricity. Bodhānandajī’s voice drew crowds yet disturbed no sleep. The master cares for camels carrying seekers, ensuring all are fed. Bhaktas are like peanuts, hidden underground. The master pulls them out directly to Brahma Loka. Discipline holds even in the astral body. When light is gone, people are frightened; but the soul must seek its own light. The gentle satsaṅg was joy without noise. "Atha Yoga Anuśāsanam. Yoga begins with the discipline." "When the soul is departing, this dark realm is down, and the light is going towards the sun." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Rāja Yoga is the path of living with kingly consciousness, founded upon strict ethical conduct and the immutable law of karma. The first preparation is mastering the ten principles of yama and niyama. Ahiṃsā, or non-violence, is paramount. A story illustrates karma's precise mechanism: a priest was condemned for a crime he did not commit due to a minor act of cruelty in a past life. His devotional service had mostly cleansed the sin, and the astrological time for punishment had passed, so he was freed. This shows karma spares no one and follows across lifetimes. Śiva clarified he does not sanction wrongful resolves made in his temple; they are the individual's own imagination. Thus, a ruler is always accountable for the state of the realm, just as parents are for a child. After perfecting ethical conduct, one practices āsana and prāṇāyāma for health, then meditation for proper thought and energy, culminating in Rāja Samādhi. Karma is of two types: selfish action for necessary existence and selfless action. Human dharma means, above all, not to kill. Wealth is a means for caring for family and guests, not for greed. We carry our karma like a rucksack; it cannot be discarded. The worst karma is to harm others or speak negatively. The mind's stains from many lives are difficult to remove. We seek the nectar of immortality that burns away desires and bestows true dispassion. "Bāndhī muṭhī āyā, khulī haṭh jāyegā. You came into this world with a closed fist, bringing something, but you will leave with open palms, taking nothing." "Prakaṭ bhaye Gurudev, param upakārī... The supreme benefactor, Gurudev, appeared and cut this heavy net." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Rāja Yoga's foundation is perfect social education, beginning with non-violence. This education consists of spiritual, ethical, and moral principles. Without it, one harms others through harsh speech and loses friends. A socially educated person is kind and humble, offering a seat to an elderly traveler. This quality is lifelong for a yogi, not temporary politeness. All yogis must be without ego. Humility attracts respect and glory, while ego drives divine knowledge away. The greater one is, the humbler one should be. Wisdom increases humility and kindness. This is yoga in daily life. Non-violence is the highest principle and the first step in Yama and Niyama. One cannot proceed without mastering it. A dilemma arises when truth or falsehood both cause violence. Only a Raja Yogi's discrimination can resolve such a righteous dilemma. "Lagutā se prabhutā mile. The more humble you are, the more respect and glory you receive." "Ahiṃsā paramo dharma—non-violence is the highest principle."

Rāja Yoga begins with trust and servitude. The Rāja must trust all and trust none. A politician taught his son the first lesson by telling him to jump from a height. The son broke his limbs. The lesson: trust no one, not even a father. That is politics. That is Rāja Yoga. Do not tell secrets until someone is completely known. Trust is not necessary. Disbelief in the master's words is failure to trust. Openness about spiritual experiences causes loss. A dog lost its bread by trying to seize a reflection. Your practices and divine experiences are hard-won. Do not display them. Wait; do not claim holiness. Avoid bad company to protect spirituality. Gain only through service, not authority. God does not grant siddhis to those who claim equality. A true disciple remains a servant. One serves the master by serving the servant. The disciple requests only eternal service, nothing more. Protection lies in surrender to Gurudeva. "First lesson: don't trust anyone, even your father. That is politics." "Please give me: if I am born again, wherever You are, always let me be in Your service." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Rāja Yoga connects one to the kingly principle, which is governance without abuse. Nature provides for need, not greed. A true ruler possesses yogic knowledge. Harmony in marriage reflects this unity, where husband and wife share one opinion and support each other as one soul. A story illustrates this: a king, distraught after war, renounced his throne for ascetic practice in the Himalayas. His queen, through dedicated spiritual practice, gained the siddhi to travel in astral form. She found him and, manifesting as a guru, guided him back to his royal duties and their reunited life. This demonstrates that Rāja Yoga requires inner and outer discipline. The first principle is Yama, restraint from external temptations, and Niyama, inner control. Non-violence, Ahiṃsā, is essential but complex, as life inevitably involves harm. One must seek forgiveness through prayer, mantra, and humble devotion. Bhakti is paramount in this age. Purify action, speech, and thought. Do not create negative karma or harbor negativity toward parents or master. Devotion, not intellect, is the path.

Nutrition must be understood from a holistic perspective beyond mere physical components. Four essential qualities define proper nourishment: the energetic and vitamin content, the individual quantity consumed, the food's inherent vitality, and the spiritual surroundings of the meal, such as prayer. The common view focuses only on vitamins and minerals, neglecting mental and psychic needs. The example of those living on prāṇa demonstrates that most energy does not come from food. The body can transform environmental energy directly. Therefore, one needs less food and more prāṇa. Individualization is key; eat only what the body signals it needs. This turns eating into a tool for self-knowledge. Mindful eating, concentrating solely on the food and its journey, allows the body to signal satiety accurately. Quality is vital; reduce animal products significantly for health and environmental reasons. Process foods properly, like soaking lentils, to enhance vitality and remove antinutrients. Rely on your body's perception to navigate modern food complexities, as it is the most reliable guide. "What prevents understanding of nutrition is the angle of perspective from which we look at food." "God gave us the nutrition and food only to observe ourselves, to get to know ourselves."

Rāja Yoga is the yoga of discipline. Patañjali states: “Atha Yogānuśāsanam.” Anuśāsanam means discipline, and atha means now—begin at once. Nature grows disciplined; humans often act against human dharma. At Kedarnath, when disrespect and corruption spread, Śiva closed his eyes and Gaṅgā came as a flood. A rock stopped before the temple, shielding the Jyotirliṅga, while the waters destroyed all built with polluted intellect. Discipline controls anger, hate, and jealousy. Yama and Niyama are the ten essential rules to follow lifelong. Without them, yoga cannot succeed. God grants automatic prāṇāyāma and, in time, eternal samādhi. Rāja Yoga fosters self-confidence, self-awareness, and a bright intellect, so a Rājayogī is ever happy. The word is Brahman—short names like Rāma carry great power. Discipline applies to eating, cooking, cleaning, and all daily acts. A yoga teacher must know Rāja Yoga and study Patañjali’s sūtras. “Atha Yogānuśāsanam. Anuśāsanam means discipline. Atha means now—begin from the point where you have forgotten.” “Yama and Niyama are to be followed lifelong; if we do not follow them, then yoga will not be successful.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is a mighty tree of oneness. Jñāna Yoga is its branches, the beauty of non-dual knowledge. Rāja Yoga is the trunk, the strength and discipline of mastery. Bhakti Yoga is the humble devotion of the branches, offering shelter and service. Karma Yoga is the roots, the selfless action that supports and nourishes the whole. The tree is the organization, the body, the spiritual company. Its greatest danger is internal decay. When its own members—like wood becoming an axe handle—join with a destructive force, they provide the strength for its fall. A Rāja Yogī must be eternally alert, observing with inner and outer eyes to maintain the health of the entire system. The king is the inner Self, governing the kingdom of the body and mind through discipline. All yogas are one. "Jñāna Yoga is the beauty of the branches. Rāja Yoga is the strength of the trunk of the tree." "Unfortunately, my own people joined with the axe as a handle, and they gave the strength to cut my soul."

The four yogic paths are interdependent, each requiring the others for fulfillment. Karma Yoga needs the knowledge of Jñāna, the devotion of Bhakti, and the discipline of Rāja. Bhakti Yoga requires the action of Karma, the understanding of Jñāna, and the structure of Rāja. These paths are united like the elements in a body. True discipline, or Rāja Yoga, means following the Guru's word without deviation. In this age, many seek blessings without discipline, believing a mantra is sufficient. This is a mistake. To attain self-realization, one must obey the Master's instructions completely. A story illustrates this: a disciple ignored his guru's specific warning and, by claiming ownership of a thief's shoes, was condemned to hang. The guru's word is paramount; its value is often understood only in hindsight. Holy scriptures constitute this essential guidance. "Karma Yoga needs Bhakti Yoga. Karma Yoga needs Jñāna Yoga. And Karma Yoga also needs Rāja Yoga." "If you truly wish to achieve ātmā jñāna, self-realization, liberation, immortality, divinity, and saintliness, then you must follow what the Master says."

Rakṣā Bandhan celebrates the sacred bond of brotherhood and sisterhood. This festival reminds us of our fundamental relationships. It is a call to revive the pure, unconditional connections that form society's foundation. The bond between brother and sister exemplifies a love deeper than mere emotion, rooted in protection and promise. True relationships are soul to soul, not based on status or intellect. Brotherhood fosters peace through kindness, respect, and forgiveness, not just words. Cultivating such bonds without condition is the essence of this observance. It is a step toward universal harmony. "Don’t always repeat love, love, love. Respect is love. Protection is love. Kindness is love."

Anuṣṭhāna is a disciplined practice leading to freedom. Initially, it can seem difficult, requiring one to sit and repeat mantra all day. Yet it is a great blessing, a form of heaven where everything is done for you, allowing you to simply be with yourself. The key is to love your practice; if it feels like suffering, progress is hindered. Enjoying the practice, as one enjoys learning an instrument, enables significant steps. This practice offers a vital detoxification from constant digital engagement and societal noise. It is a real holiday, a chance to be alone in nature and connect deeply within. This inner connection creates the opportunity to truly understand spiritual teachings. Sādhanā is the practice and the means utilized within it, encompassing all spiritual effort.

Preserving the original Sanskrit terminology is essential for maintaining the integrity of yoga's wisdom. Translating or changing these names alters their meaning and leads to the loss of the tradition. Every āsana, kriyā, and technique must be known by its Sanskrit name. For instance, Paścimottānāsana describes the stretching of the back; a translated name loses this specific meaning. Similarly, prāṇāyāma consists of three components: pūrak (inhalation), rechak (exhalation), and kumbhak (retention). Specific techniques like Chandra Bhedan or Nāḍī Śodhana apply these components for particular effects, such as calming the mind by balancing the lunar energy channel. Understanding the precise definitions, benefits, and precautions for each term is the duty of a practitioner and teacher. This knowledge prevents confusion and ensures the correct application of yoga's profound science. "It sounds good if you learn Sanskrit words. Otherwise, when you change the name, the meaning changes completely." "Prāṇāyāma is only three things... Pūrak, Rechak, and Kumbhak." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The mind is lost in bad company. The mind loses everything through negative association, abandoning the Guru's shelter and creating obstacles in devotion. Worldly life is a dream-like illusion that distracts and creates forgetfulness. Desire is an unquenchable thirst, leading one endlessly like a mirage. True refuge is found in the Satguru and authentic satsang, which are rare. Do not be confused by sensory temptations or false dreams of guidance. Wake from spiritual sleep. Through satsang, the soul awakens and gains liberation. Do not turn away from the Guru's word, for that path leads to the loss of meditation, devotion, and all good deeds. "Je saṁsāra śvapnikī māyā dek bhul man mohe. This saṁsāra is an illusion of the dream." "Vise ras mṛg tṛṣṇā pānī. In this desire of thirst, your thirst will never be quenched."

The spiritual path requires surrender to the Guru and daily practice to receive and transmit divine light. Success comes only through the Guru's grace, not personal effort. Disciples share experiences of being called to serve, such as teaching yoga in new countries, which initially provokes fear. By following the Guru's instruction, fear dissolves and the work unfolds with support. The aim is spiritual development through consistent sādhanā, leading to self-realization and the future establishment of a golden age. The Guru's love and wisdom provide the only necessary guidance and shelter on the narrow path. "Without Gurudev, whatever we do, there is no success. The success comes from Gurudev."

Good morning. Hari Om. Today is the birthday anniversary of our Master. A symbolic flower garland and shawl are offered. Dakṣiṇā comes from all disciples. Prince Alfred reminded not to ask what the Master can do for us, but what we can do for the Master. We should truly open our hearts and give the love the Master needs and deserves. Kṛṣṇānand said we cannot give anything, because whatever we give is only returning what we have already received. The birthday is a date of hope, love, and possibility. We pass on the love and spread the knowledge. The children thanked for protecting birds, butterflies, bees, and cows. They thanked for the talāb, the school, the fire brigade, and protecting earth. Language, especially Sanskrit, carries scientific effect and knowledge. Learning Sanskrit brings clarity in spirituality and yoga. The Government supports distance learning. Embassies offer yoga teacher courses. Yoga for Body and Beyond is the slogan; yoga is a path to non-violence and peace. Through meditation and relaxation, yoga gives immense energy and intuition. Heart connects to heart beyond differences, bringing peace in this yuga.

Inner social education is about respect, awareness, and karma yoga. Respect originates within, through physical and mental discipline. One must keep dress and hair clean to be pleasant for others. To respect is to earn respect. Inner engineering means aligning actions with one’s mission without harming others. Before any action, consider its form, potential fruits, and let discernment guide. The process involves intellect, ambition, soul, awareness, mind, emotion, and senses. Awareness must be alert, not merely knowing but being conscious. The mind urges but lacks responsibility; emotion is transient. Every action, including mental, creates karma and returns. The four instruments of action are body, mind, speech, and social power or wealth. Through these, consequences inescapably follow. A yoga teacher with inner clarity can uplift the depressed through kind words and understanding. The world is illusory and fleeting; remember kindness while relationships last. Keeping one’s word is vital; breaking promises leads to wandering. Karma yoga involves selfless action without expectation of gratitude. True yoga succeeds through skillful, selfless work.

A remedy for joint health and the duty of a teacher to connect with nature. A yearly treatment for joints involves a specific food preparation. Combine roasted fenugreek and whole wheat flour with ghee, almonds, jaggery, and spices to form laddūs. Consume one each morning for about a month during the cold season, avoiding other oils and specific foods like tomatoes, yogurt, and sour fruits. This regimen strengthens knees, back, and joints, and is beneficial post-childbirth. Nature provides incomparable peace and is essential for practice. A teacher must guide students into natural settings for silent retreats, fostering harmony and equal vision. Avoid gossip and personal complaints; create an atmosphere where all feel respected and leave happy. Like a tree, offer shelter and sustenance without retaliation, serving selflessly.

True knowledge must be shared, or it is lost. There is only one knowledge with many branches. The best knowledge supports God's original creation, not manipulations that damage the planet. Man-made techniques create dependency, unlike God's perfect gifts given freely. Scriptures preserve knowledge, though some texts, like the Bhagavad Gītā, resist manipulation. The original knowledge is transmitted verbally from master to disciple; if unused, it is forgotten. True dharma is the eternal principle, sanātana dharma, which is harmony with nature. This knowledge is Ātmā Jñāna, knowledge of the Self. It requires slow practice and discipline, not quick attainment. One must give good knowledge further; this is a pious act. Do not spread what you do not truly know. The disciple is nourished by the master's word as by milk. Retain and share correct knowledge patiently. "Knowledge is meant to be shared.

The principle of yoga is to achieve harmony of body, mind, and soul through systematic practice in daily life. This is not a temporary emotional state but a disciplined path from basic to advanced understanding. Perfection comes only through relentless practice, as illustrated by ancient stories and the potter molding clay. The physical system balances the elemental forces within the body—earth, water, fire, air, and space—through gentle, precise exercises. Scientific research validates the effectiveness of this method, particularly in postures like Bhujaṅgāsana when performed with correct timing. The approach is simple yet profoundly effective, emphasizing that diligent practice, not force, trains and strengthens the body and mind. "Abhyāsa, Abhyāsa, O Kuntī Putra, Abhyāsa, Abhyāsa.

The system of Yoga in Daily Life is a science of body, mind, and soul for holistic health. It spans all life stages and conditions. Teaching yoga requires awareness that students entrust their whole being. Instructions shape their consciousness and direction. Consciousness is a light containing awareness. The mind is temporary, functioning through resolution and dissolution. The body, made of five elements, holds the soul like a jewel in a basket. Impurities from diet, conduct, and vibrations veil the inner self. Without health, nothing exists; yoga balances body, mind, and concentration. Prana, water, and elements sustain life. Negative influences fill the basket with garbage, obscuring the soul. One must not run from problems. The light of the Master's wisdom is necessary. Book learning alone creates confusion. Two and a half alphabets of love bring true wisdom. Clear consciousness and renunciation lead to the kingdom of the Lord. Peace and bliss are the result of satsaṅg. "Without Gurudeva, we cannot be successful. We can do thousands of things, but you cannot cross the ocean of ignorance." "While reading such books, you have lost ages and ages. None of them became a wise one. If you read two and a half alphabets of love, that one will become the great wise one." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path to divine realization is opened not by intellectual knowledge but by pure devotion and sacrifice. Peace and bliss are attained through satsaṅg. One enters the kingdom of God through the gate of sacrifice, which for a seeker means abandoning bad habits and taking the divine name. A story illustrates this: two brothers, one highly educated but unhappy, the other an uneducated, innocent devotee of Śiva living simply in a forest. The educated brother, pitying the younger, teaches him a Śiva mantra. Later, the younger brother, having forgotten half the mantra, walks on water to ask for it again. The elder brother then realizes the younger's perfection comes from his pure heart and devotion, not ritual knowledge. God resides within the heart. Another tale tells of children asked where God is; one answers that God is everywhere, demonstrating that devotion requires not scholarship but pure love and faith. Doubt and a fraudulent heart obstruct the divine. The thread of love and devotion to the Guru is delicate and must never be broken, for Guru's grace is the ultimate means to liberation. "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." "Without bhakti, you cannot see God."

The Power of Prāṇa: Vital Energy and Spiritual Freedom. Natural living is lost, and with it vital prāṇa. Forest tribes survive days without food, stay ready to run, while city people weaken. City animals share this depletion. Artificial food and supplements poison the inner system. Natural grains, leaves, and spring water supply all needs. Fasting regenerates, consumes unnecessary matter, builds immunity, and invites prāṇa. Two days without food cause no death. Eat 25%, drink 25%, leave 25% for air. Skip dinner to wake early and meditate well. Junk food and reheated meals block prāṇa. Alcohol is dead energy, moving opposite. Prāṇa is life, the Lord of prāṇas is Prāṇ Nāth. Spirituality goes beyond limited heavens into oneness. Yoga is for body and beyond. Practice āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation with discipline. "Do we live for eating, or do we eat for living?"

Ujjāyī Prāṇāyāma is a meditation technique that leads to sahaja samādhi and self-inquiry. The practice involves inhaling through both nostrils and exhaling through the mouth slowly. Apply ujjāyī mudrā by pressing the chin toward the chest. Breathe deeply, aware of the breath ascending and descending between the navel and the eyebrow center. Feel fresh cool air on inhalation from Ājñā Cakra to Maṇipūra, and warm air on the lower lip during exhalation. This prāṇāyāma strengthens organs, supplies maximum oxygen, and brings physical health. It calms the vṛttis, making the mind peaceful. The body is like a vessel; the mind is like water within. If the vessel is steady, the mind becomes steady. Mastering the body means mastering the mind. The practice leads to sahaja samādhi, a temporary spontaneous absorption. It deepens one within, feeling one with the self. It is a technique for self-inquiry, ātmā anubhūti. It also develops willpower through saṅkalpa. One should remember the saṅkalpa and pray for protection of the spiritual path. The practice includes relaxing the body, no movement, and normalizing breath after deep cycles. Ultimately, it leads to meditation on the self and peace for all creation. "This kind of prāṇāyāma leads us to sahaja samādhi, spontaneous coming to the samādhi that is temporary." "The body is like a vessel, like a pot. And the mind is like water. If the pot is moving, the water is also moving. If the pot is steady, then the mind is also steady." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The path of prāṇa is the inner churning to reach the nectar within. Prāṇāyāma consists of inhalation, exhalation, and retention; these three occur naturally in everyone. Specific breath techniques produce distinct effects on body, mind, emotion, intellect, and consciousness. The myth of ocean churning is a metaphor: the ocean is existence and consciousness. The spinal column is the mountain; kuṇḍalinī is the snake. Negative and positive qualities are the asuras and devas within, fighting through overthinking. This churning produces nectar, which is immortality located in the Bindu Cakra. Āyurveda originated from this churning, brought by Dhanvantari, an incarnation of Viṣṇu. Viṣṇu later appeared as Mohinī to distribute the nectar, using illusion to give true nectar to devas and a deceptive drink to asuras. One asura sneaked true nectar, was cut in two, and became Rāhu and Ketu. Rāhu vowed to disrupt auspicious events, so propitiation is necessary at gatherings. The nectar is within every being. Through Kriyā, balance is achieved in cakras and prāṇa. Prāṇa leads to Brahmaloka, which is pure energy. Killing or suicide brings bad karma and suffering. The divine is found within through unconditional surrender and devotion. Inner churning awakens good qualities and leads to liberation. “O my friend, what you are searching for outside, you are me. I am within you. My hut is outside the city, but my dwelling is in your breath.” “If you search for me, I will meet you at once; in a single second you will see me.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The ultimate achievement depends solely on the Guru's grace. All spiritual practices are secondary to this divine grace. Even divine incarnations honored their gurus. The devotee must approach the divine with the helplessness of a crying infant to receive nourishment. Intellect alone is insufficient; it is like an empty drum. Surrender completely to one master. The path is so narrow that the seeker and the guide must become one. Liberation is found only through this singular devotion. "Liberation's root is the Guru's grace." "If you do not pray to God with the heart, even God will not fulfill and feed you with that knowledge." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The human body is a divine system requiring balanced prāṇa for self-realization. Satsaṅg transforms ignorance into knowledge. Reality is everlasting; the temporary is unreal. Attainment depends solely on grace. Prāṇa is the vital power. The body has 72,000 channels, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā as the main three. Vajra Nāḍī is the earthing channel; its strength determines immunity. Weak Vajra Nāḍī leads to physical and energetic imbalance. Practices like Vajrāsana and Khaṭṭu Praṇām activate this nāḍī, aiding digestion, increasing immunity, and preparing one for meditation. Yoga harmonizes body, mind, and consciousness. "Reality is that which is everlasting; non-reality is temporary." "Vajra Nāḍī is the earthing nāḍī. If your Vajra Nāḍī is not strong, not active, if there is no relief, then immunity will start to decrease." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Gurukul provides traditional education rooted in Indian culture and spirituality, distinct from modern commercial systems. Education began with the ṛṣis, and the first university was Takshilā in India. Our Gurukul adopts students as Jñānaputra, offering free education. The ancient Pītāmbara uniform symbolizes purity and focus. True education is cultural, ethical, and spiritual, not merely for earning money. Knowledge itself is an imperishable wealth. Sanskrit is the mother of most languages, and Indian culture spread globally. The Gurukul system was dismantled under British rule, replaced by a limited English system. We now blend modern competitiveness with foundational morality, teaching why to use knowledge, not just how. Education must be daily and consistent, like eating. Supporters make this possible. "Knowledge itself is an imperishable wealth. From the hand, you can steal money... but in the mind, the knowledge, no one can take it." "We have to have modern education to be competitive in this world. But still, on top of that, Gurudev is trying to put one more layer, which was actually there before."

Guru Pūrṇimā celebrates the sacred relationship between master and disciple, a force transforming the age. This festival, observed globally, signifies a shift towards peace. Bharat is a land of profound spirituality and culture, where non-violence is the supreme principle. Its rivers and earth are revered as mothers, a unique testament to its spiritual heritage. Modern materialism challenges these values, yet the ancient essence persists within the people. The tradition continues through service and protection of all that is sacred. "The United Nations has declared the day of non-violence in honor of Mahatma Gandhi. So, yoga leads us to non-violence and peace." "From dharma, we get culture. From this proper behavior, we get proper culture."

The Himalayas hold the sacred kingdom of Śrī Ālagpurījī, a place of divine energy described in scripture. Traveling there is challenging, with paths often blocked and basic comforts absent. The high altitude brings purity and a different prāṇa. Specific sites like Gaṅgotrī, the source of the Gaṅgā, and mountains named for deities like Nīlakaṇṭha are profoundly holy. Local legends speak of celestial beings in places like Kubera's mountain. A journey requires permission, respect for the fragile environment, and acceptance of harsh conditions. The experience is transformative, connecting one to ancient spiritual seeds within the landscape. "Whoever enters that Svarga Loka automatically becomes young again; you look like twenty-five." "To go there is not so easy... It is just rocks, and there is Ālagpurījī’s gufā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Today is the last day of the international seminar, a time to review. The morning practice starts with three Oms and the surrender mantra. Even the youngest learned to love the sun, friends, and animals. Yoga exercises in daily life build perfect immunity. Immunity means health, resilience, and the ability to enjoy life better. These special asanas strengthen immunity so illness from others cannot take hold. Practice includes Mārjārī. The last asana is Vṛkṣa āsana, position on the head, an inverted posture. Daily practice at home advances step by step until the next meeting. The practice finishes with short meditation. Sit in meditation posture, chant three Oms. Be aware of the body and recall games of finding friends, collecting leaves, and ants working together. Yoga is about making a happy, big yoga family. Keep these experiences and share them with friends at home. All meetings with Viśvagurujī are a living reality. The lecture begins soon. “Immunity means we will be healthy, and if someone is sick, they will not harm us. In short, we will be resilient and enjoy life much better.” “Yoga is not just about how to move the body or how to breathe correctly, but about how to make a happy, big yoga family.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The essence of kriyā and Haṭha Yoga is explained. Kriyā means any action or happening. Inhalation, exhalation, digestion, rain, and decomposition are all kriyā. Movement is either creative or destructive kriyā. In Haṭha Yoga, specific yogic practices are called ṣaṭ karma, the six cleansing actions. Haṭha Yoga is defined as the balance and union of the two primary energies, often symbolized as sun and moon or the right and left channels. This harmonization allows prāṇa to enter the central channel and ascend. The ultimate direction of one's awareness at the time of passing is determined by one's karma. Final surrender to the divine is inevitable, as all are connected like puppets on a string. Haṭha Yoga cleanses physical and subtle blockages, leading to fearlessness and happiness. Practices like nauli stoke the digestive fire for health. "Kriyā means to do anything. Anything that is happening is a kriyā." "Haṭha Yoga is the balance, the harmonizing, the meeting together of these two nāḍīs." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Haṭha Yoga techniques purify the body and strengthen the digestive fire. Netī uses water or purified cow urine for nasal cleansing. Dhauti cleanses the alimentary canal; Sūtra Dhauti involves swallowing a cloth, while Jala Dhauti, or Kuṇḍjalakriyā, involves drinking and expelling salty water. These practices remove impurities and prevent bad breath and digestive issues. They should be performed on an empty stomach. Agni, the elemental fire, exists within the body as digestive power and in various external forms. Through Agni Sāra and Nauli Kriyās, this internal fire is stoked to burn away impurities, promoting health and preventing disease. Mastering these techniques is essential. "Through Agni Sāra Kriyā and Nauli Kriyā, these two can burn everything in the body." "If you master Haṭha Yoga Kriyās, you have mastered everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga purifies prāṇa and leads to meditation, which opens the door to higher consciousness. Modern science gradually accepts ancient wisdom, such as the existence of the astral body containing memories after death. The day will come when daily yoga and reading holy books about love and non-violence become essential for survival. All spiritual paths lead to the supreme, with yoga being the best and easiest way, beyond mere physical exercise. The human body, gifted by chance, is precious due to its intellect. Ādi Śaṅkarācārya taught Advaita, or non-duality. Duality, like rooms separated by walls, is an illusion created by ignorance, impurity, and ego. In reality, there is only one Brahman; all individual souls emanate from and are one with this wholeness. Śaṅkarācārya demonstrated this by winning philosophical debates, ultimately being declared Jagat Guru after mastering all knowledge, even through extraordinary means. He established the path of sannyāsa, realizing the ātmā as the only reality beyond the body. "Meditation is a path to that door of higher consciousness, but that path should be enlightened." "Ātmā is one. Therefore, no dualities."

Master the six techniques of Haṭha Yoga, beginning with Netī. Netī cleans the nostrils. Jala Netī uses lukewarm salt water. After it, practice Kapālabhāti Prāṇāyāma to expel water from the sinuses and oxygenate the brain. Perform this only from the stomach. Practice Netī and Kapālabhāti in the morning, never before sleep. Wait two hours after Jalanetī before resting. This practice cures sinus problems and allergies. Apply a little oil in the nostrils afterward. These techniques build immunity, which is damaged by chemicals and modern life. Greenery and nature provide essential Prāṇa. Be like a tree, which endures all conditions and gives selflessly. The lake, tree, saint, and rain are holy for their unconditional giving. Sūtra Netī uses a beeswax-coated cotton thread. Clean it daily. Do not share your Sūtra Netī. This practice ensures good breathing and health. Netī also means an ethical principle of cleanliness. "O my mind, be like a tree." "Sarvar, Tarvar, Santajan, Cothā—the four things are holy."

Sanātana Dharma is the eternal dharma, without beginning or end, manifest in nature, seasons, and bodily functions. Sanātana Dharma is not man-made but the eternal order. Yoga means union of individual ātmā and Paramātmā, overcoming ignorance. Knowledge unites while ignorance divides. Love binds all; Krishna was tied by a rope of love when iron chains and cloth failed. Devotion from the heart validates the mind’s decisions. Hatha Yoga is the union of Ha and Tha nāḍīs in Suṣumnā, leading consciousness to Sahasrāra. Hatha also means willpower, seen in child, woman, king, and yogi. Six kriyās purify the body: neti, dhauti, basti, nauli, trāṭaka, and kapālabhāti. Practice only under an expert teacher. Śaṅkhaprakṣālana and sūtradhauti require practical demonstration. A teacher must know theory, practice, and answer on all yogic paths. Health and self-realization arise from purity, Guru bhakti, and mantra. Without willpower, suffering persists. Cleanliness frees from disease. The teacher demonstrates techniques firsthand. "Yoga unites. Ignorance divides." "In the entire universe, there is no power that can tie me, but there is one power that I cannot break: love." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The discourse examines the nature of spiritual adherence through the lens of mantra, lineage, and the distinction between self-will and guidance. Prāṇa is the vital force that unites the elements, and mantra is its sacred instrument. True adherence is defined not by labels but by faithful practice within a living tradition. Many religions establish fixed borders and absolute authorities, which can lead to fragmentation and conflict when interpretations diverge. In contrast, the Sanātana Dharma represents a continuous, unbroken lineage where the guru's presence is eternal, and the paramparā is a living vessel. A disciple must remain faithful to this vessel; to abandon it for self-will is to become spiritually lost, destined to exhaust oneself and seek return. The body itself is a testament to this divine order, with each organ performing a unique, irreplaceable function governed by prāṇa. "Are you Manmukhī or Gurumukhī? Manmukhī means you have no mantra, no initiation." "In Sanātana, the guru has not died. He is still living. Changing the body, but successors are coming, so there is prāṇa between."

Bhajan, mantra, and prāṇa are linked as nourishment for spiritual life. Holī Gurujī’s bhajans teach how to gain prāṇa. Language can carry wisdom or negativity. Poetry often holds profound questions and answers. Bhajan means repetition, prayer, meditation—all devotion to God. Mantra is a seed containing the essence of reality. This essence leads to Sabīja or Nirbīja Samādhi. Prāṇa connects all beings like a single thread. Positive words give life; harsh words destroy. The sung bhajan’s refrain is a mantra of five divine names: Oṁ, Brahma, Śiva, Alakha, Anādi—sound-form, formless, highest, imperceptible, eternal. The hymn describes the Guru Paramparā’s eternal seat. First verse honors Devpurījī as Lord of Kailāśa. Second verse tells of Mahāprabhujī granting God-knowledge. Holī Gurujī portrays himself humbly as a channel. Two verses follow for Swāmījī, an incarnation of Śiva spreading light worldwide. Devotees’ light merges into the divine, and the final verse is sung joyfully. "Mantra is that seed, and in the seed is the essence, and that essence is the reality." "Alakha means you cannot perceive it, and therefore you cannot describe it at all." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Prāṇa is the vital energy and consciousness that sustains all life. Its quality is directly influenced by the nourishment we consume, which extends beyond the physical. The origin of our food carries an energetic imprint. Consuming food obtained through exploitation, such as from child labor, introduces negative astral prāṇa that affects our thoughts and well-being. Our mental tendencies are shaped by what we ingest, with whom we associate, and what we touch. Positive interactions and pure sustenance cultivate healthy prāṇa, while negative sources pollute our energy. Maintaining purity is essential for spiritual progress, as we easily absorb influences from our environment. We must be mindful of these sources to preserve our energy. "For every grain of food, there is a written name of who will eat it." "Your energy—what you have, with whom you are mostly together, what kind of energy goes into your body by touch, by feelings, many things." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Today marks forty years of the divine light burning in the Vienna Mother Center. This eternal light has spread across the globe, drawing bhaktas for seva. The Alakhpurījī Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā in Vienna is home to the Śrī Svāmī Mādhavānandajī World Peace Council, an UN NGO supported by Austria. Two other NGOs, from Australia and United America, also hold UN status. The mother seat is in India—Alakhpurījī—with ashrams in Kailāsh, Devpurījī, Khattu, Jadan, and Delhi. Jadan Ashram is free of pollution. In Pālī district, a thousand trees were donated and planted as Shanti Park. The divine light in Vienna has burned continuously for forty years, becoming a mini-yuga after twelve. Darśan of this light brings wish fulfillment and spirituality. The light is Gurudeva’s light, awakening light from light. It was transferred to Gurujī’s āśram. Holī Gurujī visited Vienna three times. Since coming to Europe, thousands received mantra blessings. The spiritual seed has grown into a vast tree covering the world. The path requires saṅkalpa—perseverance physically, mentally, socially, spiritually, financially. Compassion towards all creatures is essential; no being’s pain is acceptable. Vegetarianism stands at the door of Brahmaloka; protection comes from protecting others. “It is the light of Gurudeva: ‘Jyot se jyot jagā denā’—light is awakened from light.” “If love awakens in the heart towards every creature, then the light of God shines in the heart.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Prāṇa depends on diet, harmony, and environment. Balance prāṇa first through a Sattvic, vegetarian diet that nourishes blood, nerves, and bones. The foundation of health begins with the mother's diet before and after childbirth, supporting the child's development and her own recovery. Family harmony and respect are crucial; a supportive atmosphere allows prāṇa to flourish. Fear and anxiety destroy prāṇa, while healthy thinking preserves it. Immunity comes from natural food, not artificial supplements. Joint health relies on proper oils and fats from diet. Ultimately, prāṇa shapes physical, mental, and emotional well-being. "Fear kills our healthy prāṇa. So as soon as the fear appears, you lose your energy, your power." "The prāṇa is in natural food, but we have none of this." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The sacred Himalayan realm of Alak Purījī is a living spiritual lineage. The great poet Kālidāsa described this vast kingdom. It is the source of the Alaknandā River, which merges with the Bhagirathi at Dev Prayāg to form the complete Gaṅgā. This is the abode of siddhas and ṛṣis who have purified their bodies beyond physical limitations. They protect the world from remote locations. The path to Svarga Rohiṇī in this realm is inaccessible to the impure. Devpurījī received blessings from Alak Purījī and transmitted this knowledge to Mahāprabhujī, establishing the lineage. This connection is the Siddha Pīṭh, the holy seat. Direct pilgrimage is fraught with physical and political dangers, but the spiritual connection is paramount. The divine essence of the place is beyond description. "Alakpuri was a great siddha, and still he is living." "The world is still surviving because of those holy saints."
