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."

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

The six purification practices of Haṭha Yoga are essential for health. Netī cleanses the nasal passages, providing a good feeling and better sleep; a little oil in the nostrils afterwards offers protection. Dhautī means cleaning, with Jal Dhautī, or Kunjal Kriyā, involving drinking and expelling warm salt water to purify the stomach channels. It should be done weekly, not daily, and is unsuitable for those with high eye pressure, certain diabetic eye conditions, or hernias. Sūtra Dhautī uses a swallowed cloth to clean the digestive tract. These practices are very healthy, especially for mucus or asthma. Prāṇāyāma, particularly deep breathing and Kapālabhāti, expands the chest and lungs, providing oxygen against asthma. A vegetarian diet of fresh fruits and vegetables provides living energy, aligning with Ahiṃsā. Agniṣāra Kriyā awakens digestive fire and cleanses. Nauli involves churning the stomach muscles and promotes great digestive health. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, a full intestinal cleanse, should be done seasonally under guidance, followed by dietary restrictions. These Kriyās define Haṭha Yoga practice. "If you practice Netī, you have a very good feeling the whole day, and in the evening, you sleep well." "Prāṇāyāma is very, very good against asthma." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 289

Haṭha Yoga Kriyās purify the body to achieve health and balance the three nāḍīs. These six actions, or ṣaṭ karma, are independent practices done for a positive result. The first kriyā is neti, a nasal cleansing. Use lukewarm salt water to clean the nostrils, which filters air and removes dust. Salt prevents irritation and aids cleaning. After neti, perform kapālbhāti to expel residual water and prevent sinus issues; inhale through the mouth and exhale forcefully through the nose using abdominal pressure. Do not confuse it with bāstrīkā, which also uses abdominal breath but for lung capacity. Neti is best done in the morning or several hours before sleep, and can be done in the evening to clear pollution. Practice regularly. "Haṭha Yoga kriyās are meant for the purification of the body." "After practicing neti, you must do the kapālbhāti." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 288

Haṭha Yoga is the union of Iḍā and Piṅgalā through willpower and purification. It is defined first as forceful will, illustrated by four types: a child's stubbornness, a woman's determination, a king's command, and a yogī's independent resolve. The second definition is from scripture: Ha represents the lunar nerve Iḍā and Ṭha the solar nerve Piṅgalā. Yoga is their balance and union, awakening the central Suṣumnā. Modern practice mistakenly labels āsanas and prāṇāyāma as Haṭha Yoga; these are actually steps of Rāja Yoga. True Haṭha Yoga involves Ṣaṭ Karma—six purifying kriyās like Netī—which can cure diseases and rejuvenate the body. Success requires willpower, a settled life, and pure diet. It is a science of awakening the body's inner nerves and consciousness. "As soon as you are depending on someone or something, your will is lost." "You are practicing Rāja Yoga but thinking it is Haṭha Yoga because of a lack of knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 287

The path of harmony requires acceptance and wisdom. We aim for harmony of body, mind, and soul. The body's nature is to be born, grow, and die, like a tree through seasons; this cannot be altered. We cannot expect perfect lifelong health. We must learn to accept all that happens. To resist reality is to swim against the current. Yoga offers a practical way to balance our nature. Practices affect us, but the effect depends on guiding our thoughts with wisdom. For every situation, use wisdom to find a solution and accept it. Good health supports balanced thinking, but without it, thinking weakens. Do not blame others for your lack of acceptance. Learn to live together with compromise and understanding. The world is changing like a dream; you cannot relive yesterday. Develop self-confidence and willpower. No one is physically immortal or perfectly healthy forever. Work spiritually to understand life's purpose. Learn to overcome every situation through your own wisdom. There is no one to blame for what happens to you; it happened because you are here. The wise do not run from their mind. Self-respect comes from respecting others; where you cannot, that is ego. "Therefore, we cannot promise or expect perfect health for our entire lives. There will always be something, and we must learn to accept it." "If you do not accept, it is your problem, for reality remains. To resist is to swim against the current."

The spiritual river flows with immense energy, accessible through the vessel of your devotion. Pollution now contaminates the physical world, a self-inflicted torture ignored even by the educated. The greatest threat is climate change, which will bring universal suffering. Your mind creates your reality; thinking you are happy or lonely makes it so. Solve problems at their root in the subtle bodies, not just the physical. Maintain the ashram's spiritual atmosphere by leaving jealousy outside and concentrating on your practice. The divine feminine is revered and protected, symbolizing devotion. Bhakta and Bhagavān share an inseparable oneness, as God is present with every true devotee. "The amount you receive depends entirely on your own love and devotion." "Your world is as you think. If you think you are happy, you are happy."

Life is eternal and meant for celebration, not sorrow. The Ātmā is never born and never dies; only the body perishes. You are that immortal Self, beyond all physical and mental forms. Realizing this ends suffering, for misery stems from identifying with the transient world. Practice Ātmacintan—the constant remembrance "I am the Ātmā." When consciousness descends to bodily attachment, jealousy and loss arise. Uplift it yourself. Human intellect is a singular gift for realizing the divine, yet it is misdirected toward materialism, causing all planetary troubles. Life continues based on karma, so heed your actions. True change comes from within, by altering your thinking and inner attitude. "Thou art Ātmā; you are not the body, you are not the mind." "Human has only one plus point, and that is intellect. The human can develop through this intellect to realize God and do good things." DVD 284

Āsana has multiple meanings. It can refer to the mat or cloth you sit on, which holds your personal energy. It can mean your bed or your residence. Primarily, it denotes any comfortable, steady posture, with 8.4 million said to exist in nature. The postures practiced are often derived from observing creatures at rest. Every movement affects the body's systems. Practice must be safe and individualized, not imitated. Difficult postures can be modified. For example, Sarvāṅgāsana requires careful technique to avoid spinal injury. Its duration depends on personal capacity. Yoga is highly individual; group classes teach techniques you must adapt. Excess weight burdens practice; long-term dietary adjustments can help. "Generally, nobody should sit on your āsana because it is your energy inside, and if someone else sits on it, then the energy is mixed." "Yoga is individual, not general... What we are learning in the group is the technique. You have to choose for yourself." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 283

Attachment binds the soul, while love liberates it. Ancient texts describe ascetics meditating in forests, sustained by natural foods. That forest is gone, replaced by a human one. We must now practice where we are. A story tells of a sage who rescued a deer embryo, becoming deeply attached to the deer. Upon dying, his soul, fixated on the deer, entered its womb and he was reborn as a deer. He realized his rebirth was caused by that attachment. Where your attachment lies, there you reside. Love differs from attachment; one brings freedom, the other bondage. Learn from animals: they care for their young but then grant freedom. Unhealthy attachment is a chain that keeps you suffering in life's fires. You think you are responsible, but destiny belongs to God. Your duty is to educate and support, then release. Most parents suffer because children do not follow them. Cultivate good friends and disciples instead, as they may care for you more. Attachment is ignorance. What you think is yours is not. Free yourself from this prison. "Where your desire and attachment lie, there you will reside." "As parents, we can give only birth, not destiny." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 281

The choice between your divine human potential and your destructive tendencies is in your hands. You are both your own friend and enemy. Your divine human quality is to be a protector, not a destroyer. To realize this is to transform from human to God. Yet jealousy can arise easily, even toward a master. Jealous people often speak sweetly while causing harm. A story tells of students who, jealous of a brilliant peer, poisoned their master's mind with lies until the student was expelled. Another story tells of a jealous student who trapped a bird to publicly shame his professor. When asked if the bird was alive or dead, the professor replied, "That is in your hands." Success or failure, like the bird's fate, is in your hands. Another disciple, taught to see God in everyone, was trampled by a mad elephant because he saw God only in the elephant and ignored God in the people warning him. You must learn properly. The blessing is given, but the rest is in your hands. "The life or death of this bird is in your hands." "Blessing is there, but the rest is in your hands." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 278

Mantra initiation is a profound, lifelong commitment. You must be certain you wish to walk the spiritual path and practice yoga as your life's central decision. You choose a guru, a spiritual guide for this life and beyond, from whom you receive the mantra. This commitment is not temporary. According to this teaching, you must also adopt a vegetarian lifestyle based on non-violence. Ensure mutual understanding in your household, as this is your definitive choice. The guru is not an easy master, but being under this spiritual shelter is considered great past karma. Think it over peacefully, yet do not delay unnecessarily, for life is uncertain. A master sows spiritual seeds like a farmer, without attachment to the outcome, for the master is always the winner. "To receive a mantra means you are going to choose your spiritual leader or guru." "Don't let bhaktas wait for next time." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 277

A disciple shares the grace received across a lineage of gurus. Guru Purnima is the essential day for one who has entered a second, spiritual life. In 1954, the disciple's parents received initiation from Mahaprabhuji. The family traveled to have his darshan, receiving blessings by his sacred fire. Mahaprabhuji's principal disciple, Swami Madhavanandaji, later assumed the guru's seat and traveled widely to bless others. He established an ashram, and the disciple's family served there closely during times of personal difficulty. The disciple witnessed the emergence of Swami Maheshvaranandaji, who received complete training in yoga and Sanskrit, swiftly mastering all necessary knowledge. The blessings of the lineage are now manifest globally. A disciple's sincere surrender invites the guru's grace, which operates like God. The guru provides the teachings for complete transformation. "Guru Purnima is the most important day, a holy day for a pupil who enters into the second life." "If a pupil or disciple has complete surrender to the guru, the results will be such."

Everything originates from the cosmic sound. Yoga is the balancing principle between space and consciousness. When balance occurs, there is harmony and unity. Consciousness has no desires and matter is inert. Between them exists Icchā Śakti, or willpower. This desire-power harmonizes consciousness, space, and yoga śakti. All universal activity occurs through Icchā Śakti. From this will, the first resonance awoke: OM. This sound fills the universe and is the basis of all communication. This resonant energy flows through filters, becoming positive or negative. Through sound manipulation, one creates harmony or disharmony. Ancient speech used mantras to influence the environment. Sweet words create love and understanding. God is formless and nameless; names are given by humans. Every form of existence can be seen as a divine form. Prayer and mantra repetition purify consciousness from negativity. A mantra is concentrated prayer and the seed of realization. Meditation without a mantra is like a body without a soul. The human intellect is powerful and meant for understanding and realizing. Use it for planetary well-being, not for greed. Kind words, proper behavior, and positive living make a human great. Practice your mantra to understand yourself and others. Your perception shapes your world. Yoga in daily life means living all hours positively. "From this icchā, the first resonance that awoke is what we call OM, the sound." "Through the manipulation of sound, you can create a friend or an enemy." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 274

The practice of Vajrāsana and Kāṭupranām is for spiritual development. Vajrāsana calms the mind and body. Concentration is placed upon the holy seat. The mantra "Oṁ Śrī Gurū Dīpāya Namaḥ" is chanted. This sound creates protection and removes anxiety. It awakens devotion and surrenders the ego. The practice leads from unreality to reality. The subsequent mantras guide the journey. "Oṁ asato mā sad gamaya" leads from unreality to truth. "Oṁ tamaso mā jyotir gamaya" leads from darkness to light. "Oṁ mṛtyor mā amṛtaṁ gamaya" leads from mortality to immortality. Prayers extend for universal health, peace, and harmony. Every mudrā and movement holds meaning. Conscious practice develops positiveness and opens the horizon to love and understanding. "Oṁ Śrī Gurū Dīpāya Namaḥ creates a feeling of protection. It removes anxiety and uncertainty." "Lead us from unreality to reality, from the darkness of ignorance to the light of wisdom, from mortality to immortality." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 273

Prāṇa is the cosmic energy that flows through all things, taking on different qualities based on the object it permeates. A blessing imbues an object with spiritual energy, similar to homeopathic resonance, where one blessed item can transfer its quality to a larger quantity. This prāṇa flows within the body, influenced by thought; positive thinking purifies it, while negativity poisons. The body receives prāṇa through breath, nourishment, and touch, distributing it for various functions. Physical immunity allows the body to accept these energies, while mental immunity is the wisdom to forgive and avoid negative emotions. Modern life, pollution, and tight clothing hinder the natural flow of this energy. The practice involves constant awareness to purify prāṇa and prevent the ego from arising. "Blessing is that which comes from the heart of the Siddha, or from the Perfect One." "Positive thinking means enlightening yourself. Similarly, if you constantly repeat some mantras or prayers, your prāṇa is filled with that spirituality." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 272

Yoga requires spiritual development, otherwise it is merely physiotherapy. The physical science of the body is śarīravijñāna. Kāya Kalpa traditionally refers to a rare, miraculous rejuvenation through mantra energy, not for general use. It can also mean restoring health through medical means or disciplined nourishment. Proper eating is a form of kāya kalpa; eat one full meal, then allow five to eight hours for digestion without consuming anything else. Confusing the digestive system with conflicting foods destroys health. Spirituality is primary; without it, yoga is incomplete. Temporary disillusionment from seeing death is one form of vairāgya, but pure, non-attachment (nirmal vairāgya) renounces all desires as impurities on the path to Brahman. Desires are meaningless and lead back into the cycle of birth and death. Positive perception and satsaṅg are essential to acquire this lasting disposition. "Without spirituality, yoga cannot be successful." "Vairāgya sār leads you to Brahman, and desires are asāra, they return you again into the cycle." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 271

Mantra is the primordial cosmic resonance from which all creation emerges. This sound, Oṃ, harmonizes and unifies everything. The Sanskrit language preserves this essence, though its written form has changed. Its alphabet, Devanāgarī, represents the divine principles of resonance discovered by sages in meditation. Just as in a body each organ has a unique duty—eyes see, ears hear—the universe operates through specialized positive forces, all serving the one principle. These cosmic resonances are mirrored within us; each chakra and tissue has its specific vibration. Forgetting our essence leads to imbalance, so we are advised to use mantras—positive sounds that affect body, mind, and soul. Research acknowledges prayer, meditation, and exercise as therapies for stress. Therefore, practice resonance through mantra, prāṇāyāma, and positive thinking to progress. Act consciously and strive to preserve harmony, for a yogī's heart seeks to save any situation. "These resonances, these sounds, were heard by great persons... in their meditation." "Every mantra, no matter from which language it comes... has a positive effect on the body, mind, consciousness, and soul." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 270

Mantra is a spiritual science with tangible power for healing and transformation. Specific mantras exist for countless life functions, from neutralizing poisons to daily activities. This power requires purity; qualities like ego or greed extinguish it like a flame. The knowledge is a sacred trust, often lost if not passed to a disciplined successor. Faith is the conduit, as seen when a lost cat returns or a child's pain ceases after a mantra. These events are not performed by the individual but through divine grace when one becomes a clear channel. Ancient practices, like an Ayurvedic healer praying to a plant for its healing parts, acknowledge this conscious connection. True power arises from surrendering personal will to a higher reality. The practice culminates in universal prayers for peace in all realms—physical, mental, and throughout the entire cosmos. "Every time you repeat the mantra, you call him; he is in your consciousness." "May peace be in the governor of this planet... May this peace of the Brahman be everywhere." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 269

The ancient Ṛṣis possessed profound wisdom for future generations. They lived simply, with vast distances between people, considering a rare guest as divine. Today, speed and connectivity have increased, yet destructive forces have grown. Two eternal powers exist: the positive, protective Devī Śakti and the negative, destructive Āsurī Śakti, which causes modern maladies. Humans often unknowingly support this negative force. Life is like grain between millstones of opposing powers. Yet, by following the Ṛṣis' teachings and staying close to the supporting axis of Truth (Satya), one can remain whole. The material world is illusion; only Brahman is ultimate Truth. Life's quarrels are fleeting like bubbles. Modern knowledge is a tiny fraction of the Ṛṣis' wisdom. Humanity has become materialistic, selfish, and imprisoned by technology and money, pursuing destructive development. We must conserve resources like water, live naturally using things like neem, reduce consumption, and repair rather than discard. Inspire others in this conscious, natural life to help our suffering Earth. "Between this planet and the Brahman world, what holds that space is called Satya." "Truth alone triumphs—is written under the Indian emblem." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 268

Mantra siddhi is perfection attained through strict discipline of practice. Cosmic principles exist without form, yet are realized and represented through created symbols. These symbols, like the seven-trunked elephant representing seven elements, carry deep meaning. Knowledge and science together fill the soul completely, leaving no desire, a state realized through mantra and study. Darkness and light define each other's value. Energy diversifies into forms, just as saints encapsulate cosmic energy into symbols for human use. A symbol, like OM or a cross, transfers feeling and knowledge to those who recognize it. Speech perfection, Vāk Siddhi, is attained through self-study, contemplation, and mantra practice. Speak neutrally, without selfish interest. "Jñāna is knowledge, and vijñāna is science. Together, they represent the science realized through knowledge, and the knowledge realized through science." "Your speech is like a horse that must be given to other forces, to a higher power, to control and ride." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 267

Vajrāsana is a foundational posture with profound effects. It enhances memory, calms the nervous system, and improves concentration. Physically, it relieves stiffness in the neck and back, normalizes digestion, and supports pancreatic and lung function. It aids kidney health and can alleviate hemorrhoids. The posture stretches the lower legs, combating fatigue and aiding athletes in recovery. It harmonizes the heartbeat and awakens the heart center, fostering devotion and clarity, which is why it is often adopted in prayer. It is recommended for five to ten minutes after meals and as a preparation for meditation. However, it is unsuitable for those with ankle, heel, thigh, or hip issues, though props can help. Yoga's benefits are gradual and natural, requiring discipline and consistent practice, not competition. Mastery comes from perfecting one thing, not attempting everything. The postures are part of an ancient heritage, and their systematic application is the teacher's work. "It removes tiredness and gives you refreshment because the front muscles of your lower legs are stretched." "If you practice one thing, if you master one thing, you master everything."

Yoga is the universal principle of balance, harmony, and union. All elements in the cosmos exist in perfect balance, which prevents suffering. For humanity, this balance manifests as shared understanding, creating harmony and ending conflict. Intellect disrupts this equilibrium, making practice essential. True harmony leads to unity, which is power. This same principle applies to the human being: body, mind, and emotion must be balanced, harmonized, and united. Yoga is present in every atom as a uniting force. Practice serves three aims. The prime aim is spiritual realization, requiring guidance from an achieved teacher. The second is achieving powers or siddhis, which demands immense discipline but risks inflating the ego, the greatest spiritual enemy. The third is maintaining health for a happy life, requiring lifelong commitment to practice, breath, diet, and discipline without competition. The decision for practice rests with the individual, who must apply faithful discipline to realize any benefit. "Yoga means, first of all, balance—balancing the entire universe. Secondly, harmony—harmony in the entire universe. And thirdly, union—the unity of the whole universe." "The biggest enemy of your spiritual path is your ego and māyā—temptation."

Wisdom is transmitted through śruti, the master's spoken word, and smṛti, the disciple's remembered word. This oral tradition required perfect memory and consensus among disciples to preserve authenticity. The master's blessing gives this knowledge life and authority; without it, the knowledge dries out. The blessing requires a worthy vessel, a supatra, a disciple purified of negative thoughts and emotions. One must have a clean inner pot to receive wisdom. Reality and truth are unchanging; only human attitudes and opinions change. Spiritual seeking requires universal love, not worldly attachment. Teaching is a divine duty, requiring self-purification to be a clear channel. "Therefore, blessing is paramount. Without it, the knowledge a disciple receives will dry out like a tree without water." "Nothing is changed. The truth, the reality, remains reality... What has changed is your attitude." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 262

Mantra Anuṣṭhāna is a dedicated spiritual practice based on a sacred resolve. Those who perform it are fortunate. A mantra is directed toward a specific aspect of the Divine, and the best mantra is received from a true Master. This Guru Mantra is a seed that purifies karma and awakens consciousness. Practice must be systematic and correct. The first level is writing the mantra, understanding the letters as divine resonance. The second is chanting aloud, uniting sound and form with energy. The third is mental repetition, moving inward. One must repeat the complete mantra without shortening it. Through diligent practice, one reaches Ajapā, where repetition becomes effortless. This practice fulfills one's resolve and transforms one's being. True spiritual development radiates humility and love. You must change internally; the ego is the obstacle. The mantra's power is realized through correct, devoted practice. "From the moment one receives the mantra, it begins to burn away all sins." "When you achieve the level of Ajapā, what more is there to repeat?" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 261

Water is life, especially in the desert, where monsoon rains are short and rare. To address a severe drought, a rainwater harvesting initiative was launched. The first step was building a large lake to capture monsoon rains, as groundwater had become too saline. This project uses traditional techniques and watershed management to create a sustainable model. A network of dams and canals directs rain toward the lake. When the rains finally come, the land soaks up the water, and the excess fills the reservoir, temporarily turning the desert green. This lake now serves all life. The initiative will be extended to other locations, providing water, employment, and health benefits. The ashram also provides a fire truck for emergency water supply, believing helping hands are most valuable. Support is needed to complete these humanitarian projects. "Only those who live in a desert genuinely know that water is life." "Helping hands have more value than folded hands." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India DVD 260

The supreme vessel of grace is the true Guru, without whom liberation is impossible. All beings seek happiness, yet worldly joys conceal greater sorrows. Divine incarnations appear to bestow true happiness and Self-knowledge. Many may attain yogic powers through practice, but the knowledge of the Ātman is given solely by Gurudeva's grace. Without this knowledge, suffering is endless. A powerful saint, Chaṅgadeva, lived for 1400 years with great siddhis but still lacked self-knowledge until he surrendered to saints who were liberated in life. Another scholar, adept in all scriptures and tantra, was humbled upon encountering the true Mahāprabhu. His pride, the root of sin, was conquered. When direct realization of the Ātman occurs, the dream-like world ends. Many wander performing rituals or studying texts but live in illusion without Self-knowledge. True peace is found only in Satsaṅga and devotion to the Guru. The human life is precious; it alone allows for devotion and sādhanā, which should not be wasted on mere animalistic pleasures. "Without Gurudeva, no one in the world has ever attained Ātma-Paramātmā, nor will they ever." "The darkness of the heart can only be dispelled by the grace of the Guru."

The evergreen tree of satsaṅg is sustained by devotion, not by the number of leaves. An ancient banyan tree lamented the loss of all its leaves, feeling its accumulated wisdom would die with it. A gardener pruned its ill parts, promising new growth. By spring, the tree was full of healthy leaves, becoming beautiful and rich in companionship again. This illustrates that in satsaṅg, when people leave, they are like ill leaves ripe to fall. Remain steadfast. A gardener who made garlands was offered vast sums by a king and a merchant for a special garland meant for Gurudeva. Realizing the true value was in the offering itself, he renounced the money and offered the garland directly. He was then gifted immense wealth and a kingdom. This shows renunciation brings the true reward. Do not depend on others' presence or love. If they leave satsaṅg, they leave their own good destiny; they may return after hard experiences. Be like a tree surviving alone on a mountain, faithful in all circumstances. The mistake is thinking nobody loves you. Simply be there. "Therefore, don't worry if you have more or fewer bhaktas in satsaṅg or in class." "That's called renunciation. Renounce and enjoy the love. He is the winner."

The Maṇipūra Cakra is the city of jewels and the seat of the prāṇas. Hindu mythology presents three primary divinities: Brahmā the creator, Viṣṇu the sustainer, and Śiva the liberator. Viṣṇu resides in the fire principle, which coexists with water, the ocean of nectar and life. From Viṣṇu's navel emerges a lotus, upon which Brahmā manifests holding the Vedas. The soul enters the mother's womb as a drop of water, and the universe is round. The thousand-headed snake becomes the three primary nāḍīs, with its coil representing the intestines where life and wisdom begin. Maṇipūra's ten petals correspond to the ten indriyas, the senses of perception and action, which are like horses pulling the body's coach. Control over these senses depends on their roots in this cakra. Its yellow color is the color of fire and purification. Before physical organs manifest, ten prāṇas are established. Prāṇa is cosmic energy, not merely oxygen. Physical and mental health depend on the quality of these ten energies. Prāṇa flows through breath and the entire skin, so wearing loose, natural clothing is advised. Specific yogic practices purify and strengthen each prāṇa. "The power residing in every atom of the universe is Viṣṇu." "If these ten horses are under control, the coach remains in good condition." Filming location: Umag, Croatia DVD 254

A story illustrates the destructive nature of jealousy. While walking, I thought of you. A master once instructed me to recount a tale from 1966. It concerns a jealous man fixated on his prosperous neighbor. He performed austerities, and a divine voice offered a boon: a magical object granting any wish. However, a condition was attached: whatever he received, his neighbor would receive double. Consumed by envy, the man rejected the object, choosing instead to labor in poverty for fifteen years to avoid benefiting his rival. His desperate family later used the object, receiving food and riches, which the neighbor also received doubled. Upon returning, the man's jealousy erupted. He used the object to curse himself with mutilation, knowing his neighbor would suffer doubly, and finally destroyed the object, becoming a beggar. This shows how jealousy ruins oneself and others. Spiritual practice is meaningless without cultivating goodness, mercy, and kindness. "God said, 'If you ask this kuṇḍ for one million dollars, he will give you immediately. But at the same time, your neighbor will get two million.'" "He used the object to curse himself... and finally destroyed the object, becoming a beggar." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 251

Yoga is a divine science beyond physical competition. Commercial yoga focuses on demonstrations and greed, but true yoga is a holistic system of body, mind, and soul aimed at union with the universal. It requires self-discipline, not compromise. Our ego and doubts prevent us from accepting others or God. The goal is to realize the cosmic Self, omnipresent and beyond time. Many systems fail, but this eternal path endures because it is universal, not personified. A guru is simply a teacher, but many modern instructors lack true knowledge, like someone teaching driving without ever seeing a car. God acts through us when we do good; negative actions mean a lower force acts through us. If your consciousness holds only God, you cannot act negatively, for light dispels darkness. This light is the wisdom of self-knowledge. "Yoga is a science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. Physical exercises are not what we are searching for." "If you will be aware or conscious about your being, that in your consciousness is nothing existing but only God, then you will never act negatively, because where there is light, darkness will not come."

Discipline is essential in this age of spiritual scarcity and physical toxicity. Modern life is unnatural, filled with chemicals in food, water, and air, which damage health and shorten life. The body's immune system is weakened by this imbalance. External remedies offer little lasting help if the inner system is not strengthened. The primary solution lies within, through consistent personal practice. Haṭha Yoga techniques like āsanas and kriyās cleanse the body and support its systems. For spiritual development, mantra repetition purifies the inner instrument. The foundation for health and spiritual progress rests on five pillars: devotion, knowledge, renunciation, detachment, and endurance. Avoid the weakening pillars of anger, jealousy, hate, greed, and desire. Practice daily discipline for the body and the spirit. "Your body does not have enough power to clean itself, we have to support it to clean out all the toxins through Haṭha Yoga Kriyā." "In this Kali Yuga, there is only one protection, only one thing, and that is God's name—your mantra." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 249

Life is a flowing river of change, not a fixed circumstance. Each religious path defines its own virtues and sins, creating specific karma for its adherents. Historical interpretations of practice, like the use of wine, are often shaped by climate and later commerce, not original intent. Substances like alcohol are universally dangerous, causing immense suffering, yet are promoted in an age where commerce reigns. When faced with another's wrongdoing, remember that karma delivers consequences; one's duty is to spiritual practice or to depart the situation. Public fears are often magnified for commercial gain, overlooking nature's cycles. Anger over an unlived life is a common crisis, but the entire journey has not passed. One can still act, yet the ultimate preparation is for the next life. Existence is a train ride with a changing view; do not become attached to any single scene. Without spiritual focus, life is incomplete. "Life is like water, which is constantly flowing. When water is flowing, it remains clean. When water is stuck, it becomes spoiled." "Without the name of God, this life is incomplete and not good." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 248

Our human journey is a search for permanent peace, not temporary comforts. This life is a brief transit point on an endless journey. A wise person avoids temporary temptations, aiming instead for what is everlasting. The changing world—circumstances, feelings, thoughts—is non-reality. The unchanging inner self, the Ātmā, is the only reality and the source of permanent peace. Do not wait for a better future to seek it; the best time is now. We possess intellect and discernment to use for our highest purpose. Do not lose the diamond of human life for fleeting temptations. Practice spiritual principles concretely in daily life, without fanaticism. The planet is one village; think globally and live in harmony, free from greed and narrow possession. "Your future will be like your presence." "Be the change you want to see." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 247

Yoga is the universal principle of balance. The entire cosmos and our own body, mind, and emotions function through equilibrium; illness arises from imbalance. Ancient scriptures describe yogic principles like discipline, compassion, and prayer, which are found in all religions, making yoga a universal alignment. The path is traditionally divided into four interconnected branches: Karma (selfless action), Bhakti (devotion), Rāja (discipline), and Jñāna (knowledge). Every physical action, even breathing or eating, is karma, and its quality affects our health. These four yogas are inseparable; claiming only one creates a crippling incompleteness, like a body missing a limb. Intellectual knowledge alone, without love, discipline, or action, leads to pride and error, akin to a crow on a church thinking the prayers are for it. True wisdom flows only to a humble heart. Hatha Yoga also requires all four elements. Our practice must be whole and free from hypocrisy, dedicated to benefiting all beings. "If you define yourself only as a particular yogī, then you are discriminating against yourself, and you have no knowledge." "Wisdom goes to that heart where there is humbleness. Wisdom doesn't remain on the mountain of the ego." Filming location: Czech Republic DVD 246

The divine exchange of bhāva is the core of spiritual relationship. Bhāva is the devotion or emotion you plant in consciousness. What you send out returns to you. Negative thoughts and doubts planted within create disharmony with the master, God, or friends. Surface corrections fail; the cause lies within your own heart. A story illustrates this: Viṣṇu and Śiva meditate upon each other in mutual respect. When Rāma was bound by a serpent arrow, Garuḍa freed him. Garuḍa then fell into depression and ego, doubting the God he served. He sought help from Nārada and Śiva, who called his doubt an incurable disease. The remedy was to attend the satsaṅg of the sage Kagbushaṇḍī. Upon entering that region, Garuḍa’s love and realization were restored. All problems originate within from a lack of discipline and understanding. "It is that love which you have filled in their hearts. And that is reflecting back." "The kind of bhāva you put into the consciousness, into the hearts of people, that is what comes back to you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 245

Spirituality is the inner divine Self, obscured by layers of impurity known as mala. This mala, or mental pollution, accumulates daily through our senses and thoughts, clouding our true nature. We theoretically know the divine is within, but we cannot see it due to these impurities. The mind, ruling the ten senses, constantly generates desires and distractions, preventing peace. Seeking peace externally, through possessions or renunciation, is futile; peace and contentment exist only within, through inward acceptance. Impurities from our actions and thoughts create suffering, the three fires of Tri-Tāpa. This mala can only be removed through persistent, lifelong practice—abhyāsa—such as mantra repetition. This daily cleaning of the inner instrument, the antaḥkaraṇa, is essential. You alone are the master of your mind; its purification leads to the contentment that is true peace. "Peace is within you; that which you have to realize. There is no way to peace; peace itself is the way." "Spirituality is purity. Impurity means many different things—physical as well as mental."

The nature of Devas, the soul, and karma is explained. Devas are beings who performed good deeds and meditation, ascending to a heaven that is not eternal. They can descend as angels. The soul has no gender; women possess a soul as men do. The Vedas, existing before creation, speak of a formless principle—Parameśvara, the universal consciousness, and Īśvara, the governing power within a sun system. The individual soul, Jīvātmā, is involved with karma and the five sheaths. All consciousness is like water, essentially pure but colored by karmic pollution. Good deeds lead to heaven, but liberation is limitless Brahman. Your karma is your ultimate deity, protecting or punishing you based on your conscious actions. Negative speech and thought attract others' negative karma to you, destroying spiritual progress. Life in the mortal world is a repetitive cycle. You are your own master; self-awareness and positive action are crucial. "Karma hi deva hai. So, either it liberates you or it doesn't liberate you." "If you speak about anyone negatively, you are taking these karmas on you." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 243

Nothing belongs to you, and all things are impermanent. Yoga's first principle is that nothing exists forever and nothing belongs to you. This truth was even accepted by those under a communist system. No wealth, friends, family, or even your own body belongs to you; all are temporary and will be taken. It is ignorance to think otherwise. Therefore, it is foolish to be sad when someone leaves. Only one reality exists—your Self or God—and all else is duality and non-reality. Everyone will disappoint you, but the Lord will not. A story illustrates this: a farmer dreamed a full life with a family, only to wake minutes later to a real family grieving a dead child. He wondered for which loss to cry. This world may be like a dream. Since nothing is permanent, do not ruin your life with sadness for what is gone. Have the memory, but do not be depressed. Be in deep rest. "Nothing belongs to you. No wealth belongs to you, no friends belong to you, not your parents, nor your brothers and sisters, nor your husband or wife. Even this body does not belong to you." "What comes, comes; what goes, goes. Therefore, do not be sad and do not be depressed. Be in deep rest, and deep rest is the best."

The emergence of consciousness begins with the first principle, Svayambhū Śiva, the self-manifested divine will. The entire universe manifested from a cosmic sound, the resonance of OṂ, which permeates every atom. This planet is the realm of karma and dharma, where beings experience birth and death through the cycle of 8.4 million creatures. The divine play requires the knower, the knowledge, and the object. Most cannot understand this play; only those with grace can. Maya, or ignorance, manifests as anger, jealousy, and desire. Spiritual development requires cultivating God consciousness, which is distinct from material progress. Discipline through mantra, fasting, and silence develops this awareness. One sees only what one's consciousness permits; to see God, one must develop God consciousness. "Eko’haṁ Bhausyāmī—I am one and now I will multiply." "You can only see God if you have God consciousness." Filming location: Banska Bystrica, Slovakia DVD 240

Śiva consciousness is the spiritual education leading to divine union. Śiva is the cosmic consciousness within all. Liberation merges individual consciousness into this universal reality. Human intellect distinguishes humanity but requires training. Education shapes this intellect positively or negatively, just as driving school teaches skill. Modern culture promotes destructive individualism, while ancient culture offered perfect, holistic education. Spiritual education awakens higher aims beyond basic animal existence, guiding one toward God realization. This education reveals the single divine reality behind all religions and cultures, fostering equality and peace. It is the light of knowledge leading from ignorance to liberation, which is Śiva consciousness. The human vehicle must be purified through proper nourishment, movement, breath, and thought to support this awakening. "Becoming one with the Supreme means one without a second, beyond time and space." "Spiritual consciousness means to see equality in everyone." Filming location: Banska Bystrica, Slovakia DVD 239

The universal light of spiritual festivals illuminates the path to realization for all. Divine incarnations manifest for the entire world, not a specific part. God-realization is universal, requiring disciplined practice. Success demands purification from inner enemies: passion, anger, pride, greed, delusion, and ego. Prakṛti, our nature, must be purified, not merely suppressed. Like a cat forgetting its vegetarian food when seeing a mouse, humans forget pure consciousness when temptation attacks. The intellect must guard the ātmā, the inner VIP. Holy days remind us of love and unity, which jealousy and duality destroy. Spiritual practice brings eternal youthfulness; its loss dims one's aura. True seeking requires surrendering the ego. Do not ask others to assess your flaws; you know them inwardly. Incarnations like Jesus exemplify unwavering commitment to truth and forgiveness, even through suffering. Be the Christmas tree where others find love and shelter, not duality. "God's incarnation is for everyone. God-realization, or liberation, is not limited to any culture, country, or any part of the world. It is universal."
