The miracle of Guru Bhakti transforms the disciple's life. The moment of meeting the Master begins a unique transformation for every sincere seeker. Separation from the Guru creates longing, and reunion brings joy, removing all doubts as the heart opens. The Guru travels tirelessly to offer darśan, creating lasting bliss for devotees. This devotion starts with a personal miracle, such as an unexpected blessing that redirects a life. Guru Bhakti enables disciples to overcome personal limitations and differences, drawing all closer together as they approach the divine source. The Guru is described as the eternal truth, the remover of ignorance, and the very root of meditation, worship, and liberation. The spiritual journey is like a great chariot; once moving, it requires sustained effort to reach the ocean of bliss. "Guru Bhakti makes us better humans. It all starts at the first meeting." "In all and all in one and behind all this miracle is the Guru Tattva and Guru Bhakti." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A pilgrimage to Mount Abu and the significance of the full moon. The group visited sacred sites at Mount Abu, including Gurushikhar where Dattātreya’s perpetually burning sacred fire is maintained. They saw the cave containing his footprints and the temple from a story where worship was once halted. They visited the lake associated with Devpurījī and saw a large cobra. Being in these places, described in the holy text, brings the stories to life. The journey concluded with return and gatherings. Today is the full moon, celebrated as the anniversary of Kabīr Dās. He represented nirguṇa bhakti, devotion to the formless, while others like Tulsīdās practiced saguṇa bhakti, devotion to a form. For human understanding, worship with form is advised as it provides a focus for dialogue and inspiration. All paths ultimately lead to the same truth. Saints incarnate for all devotees, not for one individual. The story of Mīrābāī illustrates divine protection when her husband, doubting her, attempted to strike her and saw multiple forms of her, leading to his surrender. Spiritual practice must be done with devotion, as one adores God. The mind, connected to the senses, is powerful and must be mastered through consistent practice. The name of God is like a coconut; the mind, like a fox, tries but cannot open it to taste the nectar inside without sincere effort. On the full moon, one should avoid anger and perform virtuous acts. "Between God and saints, there is no difference." "The name of God, the spirituality, that is the coconut. And mind is that fox."

Suffering fuels the journey to bliss. Humanity clings to suffering like a toy. Faces show this, mouths turned down when relaxed. Suffering teaches; wisdom grows through experience. A wise person knows action and reaction are one, avoiding needless repetition. Accumulated pain, mostly mental, is a teacher. Comfort brings no progress. Only suffering pushes toward realization. The world is mind-made, measurable, bound by time and space—illusion. Beyond it exists something known only to those who returned. Inner exploration opens when worldly kicks lose appeal. Longing is the key, as strong as a lover's madness. Tulsī Dās's story shows longing redirected toward God. Renunciation is required to reach the highest world. There, no birth, death, form, or fear exists. Only grace grants entry. Saints dwell there, fearless, in endless wisdom. Suffering ends completely. "That kick comes from looking inside through meditation." "Fear governs the world, and it is the root of our suffering." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The world is moving in a strange direction because we are in Kali Yuga, an age of spiritual decline. We identify with the body or external objects, not the true Self. Our choices create karma, which determines our future. Modern education feeds the ego, not true knowledge. In this darkness, satsaṅg—association with truth through a realized master—is the rare shelter. It is a boat for crossing the ocean of suffering. Through satsaṅg, we purify our inner negativities like anger and greed. This purification is difficult but accelerated under the Guru's guidance. Our dharma is Self-Realization, achievable only through practice and the Guru's grace. Trust in the master is the essential connection. "How you are living today shows what you were doing yesterday. What you are doing today will show how you will live tomorrow." "If you put 'ku' in front of saṅga, you get kusaṅga—the way into darkness... If you put 'sat' (truth) in front, you get satsaṅga—the meeting with truth." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Evening satsang from Jadan Ashram. On the begining Swamiji is chanting Om Namah Shivaya.

Anuṣṭhāna is a powerful sādhanā for spiritual purification and achieving liberation through devotion. Anuṣṭhāna is done with a pure and deep resolution to purify the Antaḥkaraṇa and become free from the three tapas. Continuous practice must not be interrupted, or time is lost. Consciousness is polluted through the doors of intellect, mind, and senses by this material world. True reality is Brahman; the world is illusory. The sādhaka rises like a lotus from muddy water, unstained yet living in worldly existence. Sacred places, Siddha Pīṭhas, filter negative energies and make anuṣṭhāna successful. Faith and clear saṅkalpa are essential; without them, mantras become hollow mental repetition. God is Niranjan, pure consciousness, not physical forms. Liberation comes from knowledge and bhakti, and the root of liberation is Guru’s grace. Seva combines devotion, knowledge, meditation, and renunciation. When devotion is lost, everything is lost; bhāva is value and devotion. Doubts drop spiritual worth like falling gold prices. Therefore, protect spirituality through satsaṅga and avoid kuśaṅga. Negative thoughts return to you like dust thrown at the sun. The mind must meditate on the Supreme, who protects those with divine love. With purified consciousness, one becomes the lotus, attracting grace. "Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā, Eko Brahma Dvitīya Nāsti." "Mokṣa Mūlam Guru Kṛpā. When we lose the Guru’s grace, we lose everything." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect. "If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere." "The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 155b

Simple living and inner peace are found through conscious practices that connect us to our divine essence. Modern life creates stress by distancing us from natural simplicity. Media consumption replaces true connection with nature and others. A healthy lifestyle requires deep contemplation on nourishment, breath, and movement. What we eat carries vibrational information; vegetarian food supports non-aggression. Conscious breathing connects us to prāṇa, the source of all change. Prayer positively charges the water within our bodies. Concentration techniques, like observing the breath or a candle flame, cultivate inner stillness. By mastering simple techniques, we find calm at the center of life's activity and transform our lives. "Go and teach people the technique of simple life, simple being." "In action, one sees the people; and in stillness, one sees the action—truly, that one is wise." Filming locations: Prešov Yoga Center, Prešov, Slovakia.

This is a gentle yoga sequence for menstrual well-being. We begin with relaxation and full yogic breath to harmonize body and mind. Specific postures target the pelvic area and lower back. The first exercise involves bringing one knee to the chest, then extending the leg, performed slowly and consciously. This is followed by Marjari, the cat pose, to create a supple back. We then practice hip-opening postures like the half and full butterfly. A key squatting pose is emphasized for menstrual issues, grounding, and leg strength. We proceed to Setu Āsana, the bridge, to strengthen the lower body. A final side-lying balance pose benefits the lower abdomen. Conclude by feeling the effects of the practice. "This exercise is especially good for menstrual problems, and also beneficial for the lower back, constipation, and hips." "This pose is especially good for women... for irregular menstruation, or for heavy bleeding between periods."

The essence of bhajan is devotional singing. It is a practice of the heart, not a performance of the mind. The technical method is secondary to the feeling of devotion. One begins by simply joining in the collective voice. The melody and rhythm are vehicles for love. The correct form emerges from sincere participation. It is an offering, not an exhibition. The act itself is the teacher. "Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā..." "Because I don’t know how to do it."

Welcome to this gathering, representing union and professional service. The organization's journey is acknowledged from its founding members to current teachers and future trainees. This conference symbolizes the mission to unite all yoga teachers and interested individuals, transcending styles and traditions. It also focuses on developing professional knowledge and skills while honoring the spirit of service. The gathering itself provides support and relationships as valuable as formal content. The teacher is the guide from darkness to light, so spoken instruction must be authentic and correct. The hope is for this union to align with wisdom, with support through any future disturbances. "Our gathering here fulfills the primary reason the organization exists." "Every word you speak to your students is precious. Therefore, we must speak authentic, correct information."

Spirituality depends on the clarity of consciousness. Consciousness is meant to be transparent but becomes polluted by negative thoughts, ego, jealousy, greed, hate, and the consumption of meat, alcohol, and drugs, which act like a virus. This pollution obscures the inner mirror and prevents the divine vision seen by great seers. Such clarity requires removing impurities through dedicated practice and understanding. The consequences of one's actions are witnessed by the soul alone in the astral state, where one reviews life and chooses a future birth based on unresolved attachments and habits. Human weakness lies in the inability to relinquish these habits, despite theoretical knowledge. True progress comes only from consistent practice. "If you have negative thoughts, your inner mirror is unclear, not transparent." "Tons of theory are zero compared to a gram of practice." DVD 209a

Bhajans are personal spiritual expressions containing teachings and experiences, distinct from the repetition of kīrtan. Their purpose is for self-expression and inner experience, not performance. All beings seek happiness because their true, divine nature is happiness itself. Reality is one, immortal Brahman; duality is mortal ignorance. We are part of this universal oneness but live separated from it. The journey is illustrated through the water cycle. A drop evaporates from the ocean, becomes fog and clouds, and falls as rain seeking to return. It may be diverted, just as one can be stolen from the spiritual door by anger. Final union with the ocean is permanent bliss, paramānanda. This unity with the cosmic self is the realized happiness expressed in devotion. Singing such a bhajan allows one to observe the mind and feel waves of bliss, connecting heart and consciousness. The Guru's wisdom is like nourishing nectar, providing direct, complete knowledge that quenches all thirst and ends all fear and movement of longing. "Now I have attained happiness by the shelter of my master." "Anger is that thief which will steal from you at your door before you can enter your house with treasures."

The eternal journey is the soul's passage through creation back to its divine origin. Consciousness exists within infinite space as a balanced unity. From the resonant sound AUM, light and all universes manifest. The individual soul journeys across lifetimes, accumulating karma through action. This karma is carried by the soul itself. The ultimate aim is to return to the source, the universal consciousness. Human life is a rare opportunity for this liberation. Intellect alone is insufficient; the heart must be opened through love and devotion. Various spiritual paths, like yoga, facilitate this reunion. Practice is essential. "Within you is the fountain of joy." "Believe in thyself that you are, and you would like to come this way." Filming locations: Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.

Yoga is the universal principle of balance, harmony, and union. It is the balancing force within cosmic consciousness and space, maintaining all elements and celestial bodies. This same principle balances the five elements composing the human body, harmonizing its systems, mind, and emotions. Where balance exists, harmony follows, leading to unity—the union of individual with the cosmic One. The primordial vibration is the sound Oṁ, understood as the form of the supreme reality. All creation is a manifestation of that One; every element and living being is holy and divine. Yoga is thus the sustaining energy within the body. Practical systems like āsanas were developed from observing nature to maintain this balance in body, mind, and soul. These postures, often named for animals, influence glands, circulation, and psychology holistically. The complete practice includes prāṇāyāma, mudrās, bandhas, and meditation. Discipline is essential, yet modern life requires dedicated retreats to reconnect with this principle through silence and nature. "Yoga is the principle that maintains the balance between that consciousness and the space." "Where there is balance, there is harmony. Therefore, the next step to understanding yoga is harmony. And where there is harmony, there is unity." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 209b

Devotion in Kali Yuga transforms inner darkness into light. External Kali Yuga continues for millennia, yet the true Kali Yuga exists within—negative qualities like hate and greed. Sat Yuga is also within—knowledge of Brahman, the sole truth, while the world is temporary. Never think you are the doer; a higher power provides for all, just as the dog mistakenly believed it pulled the buggy. In this age, devotion is primary; repeating the divine name is the sole refuge. Singing bhajans expresses the soul’s call in the heart’s language, needing no translation. A great saint asked only for devotion—nothing else makes one unshakable. God walks behind the devotee; nothing can bind the divine except the rope of love. This love seeks not wealth or liberation, only devotion itself. The Guru removes all suffering, bestows wisdom, meditation, and self-realization. He gives the eight siddhis and nine nidhis, opening inner happiness none can steal. Devotion is an inexhaustible source; intellectual knowledge runs dry. True sincere love pleases God; tricky temporary devotion does not. Practice meditation consistently, reject laziness. Live in the world, maintain family, continue sadhana without pressuring others. After sleep and work, time remains for yoga. Real freedom is liberation from rebirth. “Kali Yuga Kevala Nāma Ādhāra, Sumira Sumira Narahoi Bhavapāra.” “I can break everything, but not this rope… this is the rope of love.” Filming locations: Ashram, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.

The eternal journey of the soul is our subject today. We originate from the supreme resonance, Oṃ, and the light of Śiva. As individual souls, we are bundles of karma, rolling through countless lives across the universe. We incarnate in various forms, collecting impressions like a growing snowball. Our destiny, shaped by these karmas, carries us on an astral journey after death, unseen like a vanished flame. The goal is to return to our origin, the cosmic self. This is illustrated by the water cycle: from the ocean as steam, to clouds, to rain, to rivers, and back to the ocean. Similarly, the jīvātmā journeys through forms until merging with Brahman, ending the cycle. The path is determined by our life's actions. At death, the soul exits one of ten doors; liberation comes through the crown. Therefore, do not worry about the journey's difficulties. Focus on self-realization through devotion and divine name, which is the essence of all paths. Our attachments are temporary. Follow the inner light and sound to attain eternal peace.

The mind is a mighty elephant requiring the goad of self-mastery. The purpose of Mauna, or silence, is inner observation to understand life's purpose and obstacles. Patañjali describes thoughts as either negative (kliṣṭa) or positive (akliṣṭa). Your world is created by your thinking; positive thoughts manifest a positive reality, while negative thoughts manifest suffering. This thinking influences all beings and events around you. Observing and purifying these mental fluctuations through Mauna develops willpower and clarity. The mind is composed of ambitions, willpower, and ego. Like blind men describing only parts of an elephant, intellectual theories cannot fully capture the mind. True understanding comes only from direct inner experience through meditation. To control this mighty elephant, one needs the goad of discernment and self-control over the senses. Mastery means not being a slave to fear or desire. Practical self-knowledge, gained by looking within, is essential. Ultimately, realize the immortal self beyond worldly attachments and duality. "Everything is created out of the mind. The world is created by the cosmic mind." "O my inner divine self, you are the king of my senses and my mind. Don’t be their servant; you be their ruler." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 208a

The path of mantra and selfless action is essential for spiritual success. Time is precious, and a day spent in divine thought, mantra, and selfless service is blessed. Selfless action, or Niṣkāma Karma, is service performed for the benefit of all beings and the environment. Selfish action, or Sākāma Karma, is performed with expectation and is necessary for worldly life but should not dominate. One must repay what is taken. Mantra practice is central, and the Guru Mantra is paramount. All mantras, spiritual science, and holy scriptures originate from the divine source. Until initiated by a living master, one follows the scriptures; after initiation, one follows the master's words. The mantra is a seed in the heart that must be nurtured daily with care, like a tree that grows strong over time. Quick growth yields weak wood, and seeking quick realization yields no true attainment. Practice must be constant, like an addiction, to maintain spiritual energy. Writing the mantra, or Akṣara Brahma, implants it in the subconscious through sacred sound. The practice evolves into mental repetition, becoming constant and unspoken, connecting consciousness to the supreme sound. Satsaṅg, or divine company, is crucial for growth. Mere possession of a mantra is insufficient; constant practice regenerates energy and memory, making spiritual life sustainable. "Meditation without a mantra is a body without a soul." "Therefore, slowly, slowly—without mantra, without the practice of mantra, there is no way." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 205b

Navarātrī honors the Divine Mother, source of all manifestations. The universal Śakti gives birth to great souls. Kriyā means action; the cosmos, nature, and body function continuously. Haṭha yoga prescribes six cleansing kriyās for purification. Systematic practice under a master’s guidance is essential. Doubt breaks the disciple-master link, causing fall. Guru Tattva is the indwelling wisdom, not the physical form. Mind takes all impressions and transfers them to subconscious; intellect judges. Mind cannot be stopped; give it direction through devotion. Subconscious stores experiences from conception, forming destiny. Past-life karma lies dormant in the Mūlādhāra Chakra. Kriyā practice purifies subconscious and uplifts consciousness. One round of Kriyā with full devotion equals one incarnation. Practice requires sattvic life, avoiding drugs and meat, and mastery of āsana, prāṇāyāma, bandhas, mudrās, and concentration. Practice only once daily, following the master’s rules. This leads to liberation from bondage. "Mind is like a river. Don’t block it. You can give a direction to the river." "One round of Kriyā is like one incarnation."

The annual world parikramā honors the holy planet where the formless God manifests through the elements. All creatures offer prayer, both silent and loud. The cry of a suffering animal is its prayer. Great saints possess transparent vision of all three times; their words are unchangeable truth. To understand this Guru Vākya, one must attend satsaṅg. Service to the master is service to the living God, for a master transforms a disciple into a master, unlike a paras stone which only turns iron to gold. This grace is the root of liberation. Human consciousness must recognize that killing for food makes one the killer. The mouth is not a graveyard. The essence of "do not do to others what you dislike" connects all scriptures. A true call for help must come from the heart, as seen when even an animal's prayer is answered. "Do not do to others what you do not like to be done to you." "Thou shalt not kill." DVD 205a

Peace is in your hands, and inner peace is the foundation for world peace. A practical yoga system was created to address modern life's problems, now practiced globally. This system is an accredited university course and a tool for hospital rehabilitation. The organization is a UN-affiliated non-profit working for human rights, environmental protection, and universal welfare. Humanitarian projects include a large educational institute in India shaped like the Om symbol, a school for handicapped children, and a planned hospital. In drought areas, it provides free fire services and a rainwater harvesting initiative. The founder has initiated international peace summits and a world peace forum, promoting interfaith dialogue for decades. His efforts have been recognized with awards from global leaders for advancing citizens' holistic health. The core message is that personal transformation is essential for global change. "All elements are balanced in a perfect way, and that balancing principle, that is what I call yoga." "Be the change you want to see."

Meditation arises naturally when the mind is not forced. Sleep comes effortlessly when you do not struggle with thoughts; similarly, meditation is disturbed by excessive imagination. There are active and passive forms. Active meditation is karma yoga, finding contentment in joyful work. Passive meditation is self-inquiry, observing worldly thoughts to find peace. Within each day, time should be spent in peace. Analyze restless thoughts by asking their origin and cause. Only you and the divine witness your thoughts. Seek union with that divine witness rather than confusion. Progress to observing the natural breath, feeling its flow to release tension. This awareness fosters a direct connection with the formless divine presence. Expand this feeling to the motionless body, realizing the divine within and without. Cultivate inner qualities by clearing the heart and mind of disturbances. Abide in peace through mantra and awareness. For health, adopt a disciplined diet of fruits, vegetables, soups, and raw items like carrot sticks. Consume modest amounts of tofu and soya milk, a handful of nuts daily, and sprouted seeds. Avoid legumes, eggs, fish, and meat. This practice, followed for several weeks, promotes vitality. Additionally, take fresh turmeric powder in capsules daily to alleviate joint and knee problems. "Analyze your thought. What do I think? Why do I think like this? What did I think, and what is the cause of my thinking?" "Feel your breath inwardly. Even you feel the touch of your breath through the whole respiratory system. How the breath is flowing in and out." Filming locations: Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.

There are two kinds of happiness: temporary worldly joy and the supreme, everlasting bliss. The search for happiness is universal, yet worldly pleasure is fleeting. Lasting peace, or ānanda, is found within. It is awakened through truth and spiritual practice. Harsh words create lasting wounds, while kind speech brings peace. Doubt and negative company destroy inner tranquility, just as a cracked vessel loses its resonance. Faith and devotion are fragile; once broken, they are difficult to mend without leaving a knot. The ego is a primary obstacle, requiring surrender for healing. True happiness arises from selfless service, kindness, and realizing the divine fountain of joy within one's own heart. This eternal peace is accessed by sacrificing negative qualities and embracing self-realization. "The result of happiness is satsaṅg, and the result of unhappiness is the company of the foolish one." "Speak as if from your lips flowers are coming." Filming location: Sunshine Coast, Australia

Yoga practice must be systematic and integrated, not fragmented throughout the day. Daily practice is as essential as eating or breathing. Begin by preparing a personal space with your own mat and a cloth to preserve your energy. Start with relaxation, then gentle body-warming and stretching exercises, never forcing the body. Proceed into postures, holding them slowly to gain maximum benefit and allow muscles to relax fully, unlike dynamic sports which deplete energy. This method harmonizes circulation. Follow with prāṇāyāma to detoxify and increase vital energy. Breath should be slow to promote longevity. Purification practices and a sattvic diet, including spices like turmeric, support physical health. Prāṇāyāma also balances the nervous system and is a preventive measure for heart health. Practice culminates in meditation. Consistency in this integrated sequence cultivates physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being. "During the practice of āsanas, your body should not sweat. If your body is sweating, then you are giving too much force to your body." "Breathe slow... it is said, breathe slow, but in some techniques we have bhasṭrikā, we are doing quickly. That is not counted as a breath; that is counted as a practice." Filming locations: Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Australia

The world is an illusion like the golden deer that led to suffering. Desire for beautiful forms creates bondage. Rāma chased the illusory deer, and Sītā crossed the protective line, leading to her abduction. The deer was Māyā, the city of illusion. The spiritual lineage begins with Śiva, the self-manifested. From Śiva comes the primordial sound, Nāda, which manifests as light. That light shines in all beings. The Guru is like a box containing a priceless diamond. The outer form is worthless; the inner wisdom and love are the treasure. Enlightenment is not a physical light but wisdom and knowledge. Challenges appear as threatening weapons, but if not seen as threats, they dissolve. Practice makes the master. Repeat the mantra with confidence. The authentic tradition gives real authority, like a genuine passport. See the inner light, not just the outer form. The heart of the master is like that of a mother, boundless in love. "Enlightenment is a wisdom, a knowledge—that is all." "Practice makes the master. Practice, practice, practice your mantra with confidence." Filming locations: Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia

Understanding arises from receptivity, not acquisition. Be a guest, not a member of the household who takes only what is known. Bow down to receive from above. Observe your own actions to comprehend their roots. Every person offers a lesson through their behavior, even if it appears negative. A supportive environment is helpful, but the inner atmosphere is paramount. Community, or satsaṅg, nourishes the spiritual journey through shared understanding. Listen more than you speak. Accept teachings with heart and mind to find clarity; misunderstanding brings suffering. A story illustrates this: a disciple, told "God is in everyone," walked toward a mad elephant and was injured. The master corrected him: one must understand the nature and situation, using discrimination. Dharma is the protective principle in all things. Protect dharma, and it protects you. This applies to relationships, health, and community. Harmony requires understanding each person's dharma and avoiding reaction to negativity. "Do not miss anything. Misunderstanding can bring much suffering." "Protection is a protection. That is it." Filming location: Gold Coast, Australia

Prayer, surrender, and heeding the Guru’s word unlock healing and inner peace. A disciple near death was saved when the Guru declared death powerless without permission. A touch of the Guru’s hand brought swift recovery. Another disciple ignored a warning and got lost in rain. The Guru taught to search for truth in all words of saints. When a disciple lamented pain, the Guru said complaining does not free from karma. A turmeric root given by the Guru removed agony instantly. Forgetting the command to stay in Rajasthan, a disciple suffered burning eyes. In a dream, the Guru revealed the remedy: soaked chapati bread brought healing within two days. Prayer grants inner peace beyond outer circumstances. The world is a dream; the past is gone, so it must be released. The mind, like a frightened horse, shuns the water of prayer because of worldly noise; fear must be overcome. Faith is a fragile flame that doubt or bad company can extinguish. Daily practice of the Name is the only support in this age. Be like a honey bee extracting nectar from all situations. Surrender body, mind, and emotions to cross the ocean of existence. “Don’t worry, he will get better. Without my permission, death has no power over him.” “Past is past, delete it.” Filming location: Gold Coast, Australia

The gift of prayer and the art of detachment bring freedom. Prayer is the most powerful gentle tool given to humans. In dark times, it is better to light a candle of mantra than to stand in the dark. Whenever fear or depression arises, one should pray. Prayer purifies the inner functions—mind, intellect, consciousness, ego—which gather worldly pollution daily. Mantra acts as an ever-ready filter for all situations. One must pray from the heart without laying conditions before the Divine. A Himalayan sage taught only two words: “Todo, Joḍo”—break attachment, join detachment. Attachment to the material brings disappointment, for nothing is permanent. Love for God may involve suffering, but unwavering love draws the Divine near. A seeker in the forest, tested by a crow, begged that his eyes be spared to see his Beloved, and God manifested. Another story tells that during hardship, one is carried in the palm of the Divine. Mīrā’s life shows that total devotion survives poison, sword, and blame, merging at last into the eternal flame. Knowing is not realizing; so practice, practice, practice—abhyāsa. Where there is ignorance, there is attachment; where there is love, there is detachment. Love your family and use money wisely, helping those in need, without clinging. Be thankful for all given, and when it passes, let go with gratitude. “When the day is dark and the way is hard to find, don’t let your heart be worried. Just keep one thought in mind: it is better to light a candle than to stand in the dark.” “Break the attachment, join the detachment.” Filming location: Gold Coast, Australia

Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, a blessing for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Daily practice of āsana, prāṇāyāma, and mantra meditation is necessary. Karma is committed through body, mind, speech, and wealth. One must not cause tears or speak harsh words, for words wound lifelong. Doubt destroys faith and devotion; it must be banished. The soul gathers karma like a snowball; through devotion, negative layers fall away and the soul becomes light. Health is the first happiness—without it, all is nothing. In the body flow seventy-two thousand channels; three are principal: iḍā, piṅgalā, and suṣumnā. Prāṇa is the life force that departs at death. The soul exits through nine doors or, for a yogī, through the crown. At death, the left nostril reveals a dark tunnel, the right a milky light, and the central a highway guided by holy ones. When the soul leaves via suṣumnā, all karma is dissolved. The ātmā is immortal, ever untouched by weapon, fire, water, or death. That ātmā pervades every atom, star, and creature. Realize the self as that universal light. Practice brings the presence of God, not imagination. “Pahalā Sukh Nirogī Kāyā.” — First happiness is a healthy body. “Ātmā jise śastra kāṭe na agni jalāve, bujhāve na pānī na mṛtyu miṭāve.” — The soul cannot be cut by weapons, burned by fire, drowned by water, or taken by death.

Destiny affects even divine incarnations, but devotion to the holy name and the Guru’s word offers liberation. Even divine incarnations like Jesus and Mansur have a destiny, enduring suffering to show realization endures. Trust between master and disciple erases all separation, merging soul into soul. In the Rāmāyaṇa, Lakṣmaṇa lay dying, and the only cure was the Sañjīvanī herb from the Himalayas. Hanumān flew to fetch it, overcoming obstacles when the herbs were disguised. Even Lord Rāma watched the moon set and pleaded for Hanumān’s return. This shows that destiny affects all, including incarnations. In Kali Yuga, the sole refuge is repetition of the holy name—kīrtan and bhajan. Kīrtan is constant chanting, awakening sound from the navel center. This vibration purifies negative energies and recharges every cell. Bhajan includes teachings, removing doubts and giving clarity. Both practices influence destiny by reordering karmic consequences. The Guru’s word can postpone or mitigate one’s fate. Following that word is the essence of mantra power. Satsaṅg, even alone, and forgiveness strengthen spiritual practice. The great forgive; the small make disturbances. Through devotion and the holy name, one crosses suffering to mastery over destiny. "Śaśī ḍhala rahā, śamā tala rahā, Lakṣmaṇa ke prāṇa jā rahā.

The divine light and hidden powers within us are obscured by ego and ignorance, awaiting awakening through spiritual guidance. As a child, we embody infinite potential, but this inner light becomes veiled over time. We meet a teacher who helps remove this veil, revealing the eternal Self that was always present. This inner divinity exists in all beings and all forms—in trees, rocks, and every heart. The world is transient, but devotion to God is the sole truth. Our human duty is to love all beings as ourselves. True yoga balances the inner energies to awaken consciousness and reach the state of nothingness—the supreme reality. All powers and the entire universe exist within the human body. Through disciplined practice, we purify ourselves and awaken these divine qualities. "Within you is the fountain of joy. The joy which we are searching for is within us, nowhere else." "Hari bhajan ek satya, jagat sab sapnā. The devotion to God is real, and the world is a dream." Filming location: Melbourne, Australia

Swamiji introduces MM Swami Jasraj Puri and explaines in great detail what means Mahamandaleshwar and Akkhara. Ashram: A means welcome, Shram means work.

The endless space is like a mother, the cosmic consciousness. Between space and consciousness is Yoga shakti. Yoga is balancing, harmonising and uniting. God is manifested in the form of vibration, sound, resonance - OM - Everything comes from that and merges in that. Yogis are meditating on that. The aim of human life is to help, to serve, to support others and selfrealisation. The human life is a precious diamant but we will not get it again and again. Translation of the bhajan: Sadho bhai ab kyu karo the moro. Recorded in Melbourne, Australia.

Spiritual practice is the path to inner harmony and purity. Authentic tradition is upheld by the Akhāṛā system in India, which grants the title of Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara after rigorous testing of lineage and spiritual merit. Australia is now home to two such title holders, a significant historic development. Spirituality is defined as pure consciousness, not the body, which is inherently impure and a temporary vessel for the individual soul. This soul is entangled with negative qualities like desire and anger, which hinder spiritual progress. Practice is essential to cleanse the inner pollution accumulated daily. Discipline, self-study, and consistent effort are the means to raise consciousness. True spirituality manifests as humility, love, and the capacity to forgive, not in any claim of being spiritual. "Spirituality means purity, pure, crystal clear, transparent, pure. And that means pure consciousness." "Therefore, every day you must... you should practice."

The Guru Tattva is the light beyond the physical form. It functions as Brahmā, creating good thoughts; as Viṣṇu, protecting; as Maheśvara, destroying negativity. That tattva is Parabrahma itself, not the embodied guru. The physical guru is like a box containing a precious diamond—value lies in the light within. That light is pure knowledge, divine bliss, the inner witness, beyond the three guṇas. It sees everywhere, ever aware, omnipresent. Śrī Devpurījī awakened Mahāprabhujī, showing a ray of that cosmic light. The heart, previously bound by illusion, glimpsed the reflection of Brahman like a moon in calm water. That sight brought supreme bliss and radiance, merging the disciple’s gaze with the guru’s light. Through upadeśa, Iḍā and Piṅgalā nāḍīs united, meditation settled at the tenth door. The resonance of So’ham resounded, revealing a city of nothingness, an unmovable flame. There, the fullness of Brahman alone shone, indescribable, without support. This is the ultimate Guru Tattva, the supreme shelter we seek. We pray for that shelter of Brahman. Practice and purification remove the dust of karmas. Keep the light; do not lose it. Through sādhanā, the curtain of ignorance falls. That light alone is eternal and one. "Gurur Sākṣāt Param Brahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." "Cetan kā chilakā svāmī ne dikhāyā diyā."

The power of satsaṅg and charity sustains the world. Two kinds of people exist. One concentrates on personal life, which is not wrong. The other creates charitable and spiritual centers for the well-being of nature and society. Experience shows the world cannot survive without spiritual development. A story illustrates the supreme value of satsaṅg. A sage performed austerities for 72,000 years. Another sage possessed the fruit of one minute of satsaṅg. When tested, only the power of that single minute of satsaṅg could support the Earth. Therefore, satsaṅg is the most precious time, while bad company can destroy spiritual practice. What remains after all worldly calculations is dharma, and the Earth rests upon the dharma of those who pray and meditate. For creation's sake, continue spiritual practice and attend satsaṅg, ignoring negative talk. Those with resources should give charity willingly, as those with little often give more freely. Give love, support, and material help, but never give troubles. A spiritual home is for prayer and satsaṅg alone, free from gossip and politics. "Mother Earth remained supported by the fruits of one minute of satsaṅg." "Give love, give understanding, give support, give way, give rights." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The planet suffers due to human greed and disrespect, creating physical and mental pollution. Humans are not almighty; the God-made world is perfect, while the man-made is imperfect. The cause of suffering is a lack of non-violence and limitless desire. Mental pollution from dry intellect is more dangerous than physical pollution. Three forces of suffering—from other beings, karma, and higher influences—attack all creatures. These arise from sin and can be purified through prayer and mantra. The mind, polluted by attachment and desire, cannot be killed, but its chains can be broken by grace. Redirect longing from worldly things to God. Limit needs and live sustainably, for the Earth provides for need, not greed. The final wish should be to remember God's name at the last breath, merging into the divine. "All kinds of development that humans think they create is connected with distractions. The God-made world is perfect, and the man-made world is imperfect." "Mental pollution is more dangerous than physical pollution... The human heart is believed to be a holy heart."

Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. The human body is a temple and must be cared for through practice. Health is the first comfort; without it, everything is nothing. Yoga practice is a lifelong discipline of dynamic movements, stretching, and postures, performed in sequence to avoid injury and gain benefit. It makes the body flexible and healthy into old age. Prāṇāyāma then detoxifies the body and channels cosmic energy. The ten senses are like wild horses that must be controlled. The intellect is a powerful tool that requires education, like a field needing a farmer. The paths of yoga include Karma, Bhakti, Rāja, Jñāna, and Haṭha. Jñāna Yoga involves four principles: discernment between truth and illusion, detachment, the six inner treasures, and the longing for liberation. The six treasures are withdrawing the senses from external temptations, controlling the mind, maintaining faith, endurance, remaining above worldly illusion, and contentment. One must collect only the good from the world, like a bee takes nectar. Faith is essential; if it is lost, everything is lost. Live in harmony with nature and surrender competition and challenge to God. "One in all and all in one." "Renounce and enjoy." Filming locations: Wellington, New Zealand.

Dharma is the cosmic law we must follow to be protected. Ancient wisdom teaches that dharma is the inherent duty and law of all existence, not merely religion. If you protect dharma, it protects you. Humans have lost their harmonious relationship with nature, acting against it out of greed and selfishness, which creates negative karma. Every entity has a dharma: a seed's is to grow, fire's is to give heat, and the human's is to be a protector. Modern interventions, like creating seedless produce, violate this natural law. Following dharma is challenging and presents moral dilemmas, but it guides us to avoid harm. The wisdom for navigating these trials is preserved in ancient scriptures and the counsel of elders. This knowledge, which cannot be taken from you, is meant to create harmony. We must reclaim this understanding through study, prayer, and respecting cultural traditions like the joint family, which uphold these duties. Our actions are always observed, and we must live prepared. "If you protect the dharma, Dharma will protect you." "God-made world is perfect, and man-made world is imperfect."

Yoga and daily life are a path to peace through universal love. Ancestors are honored before the divine in many ancient cultures. Lineage transmits the flame of wisdom from Śiva, sustained by Ādiguru Śaṅkarācārya, and handed down through realized masters to the present. Modern life erodes trust with greed, severing human connection and abusing nature. Fear of other humans destroys peace. Trust in God and follow the ancestors; their light remains. Love for all creatures, not only pets, brings heaven on earth. Within you is an ocean of love and an immortal soul, never destroyed by weapons, fire, or death. Thoughts sent out return like a boomerang. Surrender to the Lord daily, close your eyes, and feel peace. Be good, speak kindly, and consider others. Do not cause tears if you cannot dry them. Preserve ancient welcoming traditions; salt symbolizes sacred bond and life’s essence. Understand both how to start and how to stop. Meditation and prayer transform everyday life. All should live in harmony and peace. “Within you is the fountain of joy; that fountain will never stop.” “Do not do to others what you don’t like to be done to you.” Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Happiness is a universal principle given freely to all, yet we struggle to attain it. We pursue material happiness, but it is temporary and often brings more suffering than joy. True, lasting happiness is supreme bliss, beyond the changing material world. It requires renunciation: take only what you need and release attachments, as possessions create fear and slavery. Also renounce bad habits, which are a slow suicide. Practice austerity by enduring life's situations with simplicity. Study sacred texts and, more importantly, study yourself through self-inquiry and meditation. Understand that many circumstances are not within your control, and through this understanding, you will not suffer. Real happiness comes from self-knowledge, realizing your true Self is universal, eternal bliss, not the changing body or mind. Do not let external words disturb your inner peace; you alone can give yourself lasting happiness. "One is the material happiness... the joy of the joy which you try to enjoy has a little joy than the suffering of that enjoyment." "Real happiness, real peace, real love, real contentment, real joy is in thy heart." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

The hidden treasures within are discovered through the four yogas: Karma, Bhakti, Rāja, and Jñāna. Human focus on the outer world obscures inner values. Karma Yoga is action through body, mind, speech, and wealth, governed by the law of cause and effect, with selfless action being the highest principle. Bhakti Yoga is devotion, the supreme protection in this age, leading to surrender. Rāja Yoga is self-discipline through the eight limbs, the key to success. Jñāna Yoga is the knowledge of the Self. The world is changing and unreal; only the Supreme is eternal truth. Time is fleeting and must not be wasted. Disturbances and troubles arise from attachments and past actions. The path requires Viveka to discern truth, Vairāgya for detachment, the six inner treasures for practice, and Mumukṣutva, the burning desire for liberation. Self-realization merges the knower, knowing, and known into oneness. "Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā." Only the Supreme is truth; this world is changing. "Karma doesn’t excuse anyone. And time will not wait for anyone." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

The opening of a new center is a celebration of growth from a small seed into a great tree, supported by collective effort and divine blessing. From a small beginning, a dedicated space is established through perseverance and service. This new branch provides an opportunity for many to serve and grow closer to the divine light. The work is challenging, but with faith and the support of the global community, it will flourish. The center is a vessel; light the lamp, and seekers will come. It represents a new beginning where service becomes the path to closeness and liberation. "Sevā is greater than mokṣa, service is greater than liberation." "Light the light, bring the light, and they will come." Filming locations: San Francisco, Oakland, California, United States.

Today is a special day, the festival of Holī, celebrating the victory of devotion over arrogance. Every spiritual tradition begins in the name of God, a guideline like a torchlight in darkness. The full moon's gentle light is considered a nectar. In a past age, a king named Hiraṇyakaśipu sought immortality through austerities. He received a boon that no human, animal, weapon, or natural cause could kill him, neither inside nor outside, nor during day or night. He declared himself God and forbade worship. His son, Prahlāda, was a devoted worshipper from birth. The king attempted to kill the boy repeatedly, but divine protection saved him each time. The king's sister, Holikā, who was immune to fire, sat in flames with Prahlāda in her lap. She burned to ashes while the devotee remained unharmed. Ultimately, the divine manifested as Narasiṁha, half-man and half-lion, at twilight on a threshold, using no weapons, to fulfill the boon's conditions and defeat the arrogant king. This day marks the victory of righteousness. Yoga is designed for reunion with the universal one. Haṭha Yoga balances the energy channels, purifying body and mind. Its six cleansing techniques are Netī, Dhautī, Naulī, Bastī, Kapālabhātī, and Trāṭak. Practice requires discipline and gradual progress, not competition. These Kriyās promote health, concentration, and inner peace, aligning body, mind, and spirit. "Whom God protects, no one can kill. Even the whole world is your enemy." "Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā. God is truth; the world is transient."

The lake, the tree, the saint, and the rain manifest for the well-being of all without duality. Water gives life to all without refusal or anger. A tree offers fruit, shade, and oxygen regardless of who planted it or who cuts it. The words of a saint are for every being. Rain falls on all places without discrimination. Water is the blood of the planet; a tree is holy and life. Human greed pollutes water and soil. The restless mind is a ghost demanding endless work. Give that mind the task of climbing up and down the spinal column with the breath. Ascending and descending awareness purifies the energy centers and brings peace. The supreme truth is Brahman, the unchanging reality; the world is a changing illusion. The ātmā is one in all; harming another harms oneself. Peace is within, not in wealth or age. Destiny is shaped by karma performed through body, mind, speech, and social position. Yoga is reunion with that oneness through meditation on Oṃ and the inner light. Self-inquiry leads to supreme bliss in a troublesome world. "When the last tree is chopped down and the last fish dies, then, O human, you will realize you cannot eat your money." "If you cannot dry the tears of others, do not be the cause of their tears." Filming locations: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Living in peace requires managing inner perception amidst inevitable outer turmoil. The world has always contained trouble and those who create it, often believing themselves right. One must continue daily duties regardless, not stopping for temporary disturbances. True peace is found within, not in changing external conditions. The mind projects its own negativity outward, coloring perception like tinted glasses. Therefore, cultivate inner positivity and relaxation. The body is a vehicle for experience and must be cared for through practices like yoga, which harmonize body and mind. Liberation comes through knowledge and grace, not posture alone. Help others when possible, and at minimum, do not disturb. "So do thou, my Lord, for thou and I are never apart. I am the bubble, make me the sea." "Who am I? From where have I come? Why did I come? And where will I go?"

The eternal spiritual lineage transmits divine wisdom from master to disciple. God placed a divine spark of light within every heart. This light dispels ignorance when it radiates, revealing divine wisdom. The Guru's word is God's instruction to love all beings without distinction. This knowledge flows through an unbroken tradition, from parents to children and teacher to student. This Sanātana light is eternal and indestructible, like the sun. Darkness cannot approach it without dissolving. True wisdom is Śruti, spoken by the great masters, and Smṛti, what is remembered and passed on. Every profession requires proper training and recognition from a qualified teacher; yoga is no different. Half-knowledge is dangerous. The teacher is not the doer but a messenger carrying the light forward. "God said, 'My children, I send you on this planet as a protector, to protect all my children.'" "In the heart there is one small space, beautiful like a cave. In that cave, there is a beautiful, tiny, sparkling blue light—Śivajyoti."

The four holy ones manifest on this planet solely for the well-being of others. The first is the lake or water body, which serves all without discrimination, like a mother. The second is the tree, which provides for countless creatures without attachment or enmity. The third is the holy saint, whose teachings are for the entire world, to be received according to one's capacity. The fourth is the rain, which falls equally on all plants, good and bad, like a universal blessing. These four are declared holy by nature because they exist for everyone. Human greed, however, is destroying the planet. We take everything from the Earth, which now struggles to breathe. We must adopt the duty of protectors, not distractors, and strive to leave the world no worse than we found it. "Mother Earth has enough for everyone's need, but not for the greed."

Yoga is the science of uniting body, mind, and soul through harmony and balance. It is an ancient system for overall well-being. The universe and our own bodies are complex, harmonized creations we do not fully understand. We struggle to comprehend even our physical form, let alone our mind with its emotions and intellect. Negative tendencies like hate, jealousy, and greed act as internal enemies. The intellect can be polluted, but Viveka, or discernment, helps us see the positive. Laziness is the great enemy of spiritual progress and discipline. Yoga practice, including Prāṇāyāma, purifies and energizes. Our consciousness leads to the soul, the singular essence within. Humans focus outward, but yoga turns us inward to find endless inner beauty. The practice is for everyone, integrated into daily life without competition. It requires motivation and discipline to build unwavering faith, which is essential. We are limited beings who can pray, practice, and strive to do good. "Yoga is that which unites. Uniting means creating harmony and balance." "The biggest enemy of the human is laziness. For good things, don't be lazy, and for bad things, be perfectly lazy." Filming location: Washington DC, USA
