Give freedom to everyone

Support one another in cooperation, not competition. In small towns, maintain one center to prevent jealousy. In large cities, centers may exist in different districts. If a student's schedule does not align with your class, refer them to another center offering the same instruction. Commercial interest is not inherently wrong; money is a tool for establishing more ashrams. The essential practice is for teachers to freely refer students to one another. Do not try to keep people only for yourself; give them freedom. This approach serves the interest of yoga and the deathless life. Maintain the quality, philosophy, and spirituality. Uphold your own condition to be worthy of giving the light. Do not count people, but count the quality. "Money itself is not wrong. What is wrong is how we utilize it." "Do not count the people, but count the quality." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Do everything with the consciousness of "Naham Karata" -- when God is residing in your consciousness

When God resides in your consciousness, your speech and writing are kind. Those with God within never speak harshly, while those with the devil express jealousy and anger. A moody person is poor; do not shift your mood. Be kind, humble, and a good helper. Giving love is yoga in daily life. Teachers who show individual care, like asking "How are you?", attract many. A young waiter hated a certain president at a gathering. Before taking a drink, the president smiled, touched his shoulder, and asked kindly if he was tired, calling him a good, strong man. For months, the waiter spoke only of this president's kindness, contrasting it with his own president's arrogance, who ignored him holding a heavy tray. This shows you can change anyone for the better through kindness. Everyone needs love, for life is love. Maintain the world with love and attention. Success lies in discipline and kindness. When you are kind, God speaks through you, and you are happy. Open a small window of your heart to others, and you will receive a millionfold in return. "Life is love. Where there is no love, there is no life." "Open a little window of your heart toward others, and you will receive a millionfold in return." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Can someone practicing yoga become ill?

Illness arises from both modern systemic causes and karmic destiny, requiring acceptance and a dual approach to healing. Modern diseases like cancer are increasingly common, affecting even those with healthy habits. This is due to the entire modern system, including pollution, pesticides, and stress, which diminish our immunity. It is also the karma of being born in this age. Therefore, one must accept illness and seek treatment. Do not deny modern medical science, such as chemotherapy or operations, which can save lives. Simultaneously, turn to nature for prevention and healing. Seek healthy food, water, and air. Incorporate specific natural remedies and consider dietary shifts. Ultimately, you must become your own doctor through conscious living. "Your healthy way of life has protected you and given you a long life." "Prevention is better than treatment."

In an emergeny you have to turn to a doctor and follow her/his advice

Illness is a signal that your way of life must change. Your willpower is essential. In an emergency, follow a doctor's prescribed treatment, such as chemotherapy, to survive. Alcohol is a dangerous drug causing immense outer and inner damage; do not be addicted. Support your body by consuming fresh juices and raw foods. Ultimately, we must all die; the problem is not death but how to die. We pray not to suffer, yet the body will one day become a burden we cannot escape. The solution is to accept it. "It is a signal from the higher planets—a sign from the higher realms—that your way of life must change." "The problem is how to die. We pray that we will not suffer." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Visitors from the Washingon Ashram

The community extends its welcome to distant members who have traveled for connection. We are joined by companions from a distant place who also gather regularly. Upon learning that travel to their region would not occur this year, they have journeyed here for a brief visit. Among them is a foundational supporter of that distant community. This individual is recognized as one of its strongest pillars. She will now offer a devotional song for the assembly. "Among them is one of the strong pillars of our Washington Āshram, indeed one of its strongest pillars: Jaya Devī." "She will now sing one bhajan for us." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Mantra is the spiritual union of the Master and disciple

A mantra is a lifelong spiritual commitment, not a temporary practice. It forges an unbreakable spiritual union between Master and disciple, distinct from any physical bond. This initiation is for your entire future, guiding you on both the physical and astral planes. Adopting a vegetarian life is suggested to support this path. The Master is strict after giving the mantra, emphasizing the seriousness of this permanent bond. "Physically, you can get divorced. But how are you going to get divorced on the astral plane?" "I am strict not before giving a mantra, but after giving it." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Self discipline of the yoga teacher

Yoga is a scientific system with one aim: union with the Universal Self. This union is obstructed by internal foes like ego and doubt. We struggle to accept others, so accepting God is a greater challenge. Meeting God is not an easy task, and we lack a clear picture of the divine. True happiness is found in the guru's shelter, as the sought-after Brahman is realized through him. The aim is to become one with the cosmic Self, which is unbounded and omnipresent. Yoga in daily life provides this path; it is a gentle, divine practice, not a physical competition. It is the essence of teachings from masters worldwide, sustained by universal principles, not by any single person. "Milta hai sacca sukha keval gurudev tumāre śaraṇome." "I am the way to God."

If you are God, you know what I ask

A story illustrates the destructive nature of jealousy. I was instructed to recount a story from 1966. It concerns a jealous man fixated on his neighbor. He performed intense prayer for wealth. God granted him a magical coin that would fulfill any wish, but with a condition: his neighbor would always receive double. Enraged by this, the man abandoned the coin and left to earn money through hard labor. His desperate family later used the coin, receiving abundant food and goods, with the neighbor receiving double. Upon learning of this, the jealous man returned home furious. He then used the coin to wish himself harm—losing a limb, an eye—so his neighbor would suffer doubly. He ultimately destroyed everything, becoming a beggar. This shows how jealousy ruins oneself and others. True spirituality is simply to be good, merciful, and kind. "if you ask this coin for one million dollars, it will give you immediately. But at the same time, your neighbor will get two million." "He threw these funds into the water well and went for begging. He became a beggar." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

There is no challenge and competition in yoga

True Yoga transcends commercialized physical performance for a scientific system of holistic being. Our gathering itself is success, not the transient commercial bubbles promoted elsewhere. In science and quality, there are no compromises; this is true for yoga and spirituality. Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. We are not truly searching for mere physical exercise. The prevalent global message operates on a lower level, fixated on demonstrating postures others cannot do—this is greediness. In yoga, there are no challenges and no competition. The spiritual path requires discipline, yet its essence is beyond contest. The practice is an inward journey, not an external display. Our system's quality and scientific nature define its authenticity, separate from worldly comparisons. "In yoga, there are no challenges and no competition." "Yoga is the science of the body, mind, consciousness, and soul." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Purna

Realizing completeness in consciousness is the central theme. The feeling that something is missing indicates a consciousness not oriented toward pūrṇa, or fullness. This state of lack manifests as unhappiness, suffering, and discontent. All phenomena arise from, exist within, and dissolve back into this fundamental completeness. True pūrṇatā must be permanent, not a temporary feeling. Desire, by its nature, signifies incompleteness, as it arises from a sense of lack needing fulfillment. Each desire divides attention, creates duality, and ultimately leads to disappointment, separating one from the conscious experience of wholeness. Therefore, the path involves reducing desires to cultivate the awareness of inherent completeness. "Everything comes from the Pūrṇa, exists in the Pūrṇa, and dissolves in the Pūrṇa." "Each desire means it’s dividing thyself. Each desire means creating the duality, and each desire means leading to the end, meaning to disappointment." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Midlife crisis

Life is an impermanent, flowing illusion, and our dissatisfaction arises from resisting its natural change. We become angry, feeling trapped by circumstances like marriage, believing we have lost our dreams. Yet life is meant to flow like water, which stays fresh only when moving. Imagine sitting on a train, watching landscapes pass; this is the beautiful, transient movie of existence. Do not lament what you could not do. Prepare for the next life to fulfill those wishes, but you still have time here. The essential task is to begin your spiritual path, for a life without remembrance of the divine is profoundly deficient. It is never too late to start. "Oh my mind, your whole life is gone till now without God's name, without spiritual life, but now at least you begin to remember God and repeat His name." "Without the name of God, this life is incomplete and not good." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Don

The urgency of spiritual practice is now, not in an imagined future. Do not assume a better time will come; the best time is this moment. Tomorrow is never seen. Life is uncertain, and destiny is fixed, yet we are endowed with intellect to choose wisely. Do not lose the diamond of human life for fleeting temptations. Merely eating and sleeping makes one little different from an animal. Therefore, practice yoga and follow spiritual principles in daily life. Do not wait for retirement or perfect conditions, for such dreams are bubbles. Awaken now and live the teachings without fanaticism. Think globally, for the planet is one village. Do not discriminate or claim ownership through greed; live in harmony with all creatures. Simplicity is key, avoiding the swing from austerity to excessive accumulation. Begin with simple disciplines, like washing hands before and after eating, to cultivate purity and respect. "What you have to do tomorrow, do it today. And what you have to do today, do it just now." "We have enough in this world for our need, but not for our greed." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yogic principles

Satsaṅg and an integrated yoga practice are essential. Never miss satsaṅg; it must hold the first place in life. Yoga is the universal balancing principle for the body, mind, and all relationships. Ancient scriptures describe yogic disciplines like trust, meditation, and compassion, which are present in all religions. Yoga was later divided into branches like Karma, Bhakti, Jñāna, and Rāja Yoga, all described in texts like the Bhagavad Gītā. Karma means all action; even inaction is a form of action. Selfless service, or Karma Yoga, requires love, making it incomplete without Bhakti Yoga. It also requires discipline and knowledge, linking it to Rāja and Jñāna Yoga. All four branches are interconnected and essential; claiming only one leads to a mistake. True knowledge manifests as great practice in all branches. Even Haṭha Yoga requires these four parts. One lives for the benefit of all. Failure in practice stems from doubts, anger, and selfishness. "Your sādhanā and your satsaṅg must hold the first place in your life." "All these four branches of yoga are connected to each other." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Wisdom has no end

Reality exists independent of belief, like the sun shining regardless of opinion. Spiritual pursuit is often misdirected toward endless learning or the temptation of miraculous powers, which are illusions that divert from the true path. The direct realization of the Self and God-consciousness is the only essential knowledge; all other learning is secondary. A genuine spiritual connection, once found, ends the search. Intellectual knowledge is limitless, like a mountain, while true wisdom is a direct knowing of the one reality. "Now I know that I don’t know." "What you have learned till today about Vedas and spirituality... is only this much, as much as a sand corn." Filming location: Banska Bystrica, Slovakia

Heart of the Saint

A saint is defined by a large heart, not external roles. I observed an elderly woman braving deep snow and cold to feed birds on a riverbank, a pure act of selfless karma. In the stark black-and-white winter landscape, a couple in a tiny hut demonstrated this saintly heart. Despite his wife's protests, the husband welcomed a freezing donkey, a lost traveler, more men, a grandmother with a child, a deer, and finally a bear family into their 8-square-meter space. His compassion was so vast he stepped outside himself, praying for a heart large enough to welcome all. This is the heart of a yogī. In contrast, some here, claiming to be spiritual disciples, refused to share available space with others in need. Such possessiveness, far from non-violence, shows greed and envy. Reading books or performing rituals without cultivating a consciousness of kindness, friendship, and oneness is not true yoga. Your spiritual progress is zero if you lack this expansive heart. Do not just recite "I am Divine"; purify your consciousness and be kind. What you think returns to you. "To feed these birds or such creatures is the best karma. This action can only be done by a pure soul." "He said, 'Lord, you gave me so big a heart, but too small a heart. Next time, next winter, please give me a big heart so I can welcome all.'"

The God Consciousness

True spiritual progress unfolds through innocent devotion and grace. A farmer attended teachings without grasping concepts, yet faithfully requested a mantra. He initially saw the master as merely a bull, then a talker, a wise man, and finally a holy being. Through simple repetition and honest reflection, his perception purified over years. He ultimately realized everything was the Guru's grace, the very movement of God. This conscious recognition alone dispels ignorance. Life decreases each moment; do not postpone practice. You perceive only what your consciousness holds. Develop God consciousness. "Not a leaf of the tree can move without your kṛpā, and that’s called God." "You can only see God if you have God consciousness." Filming location: Banska Bystrica, Slovakia

The Light of Christmas: A Call to Purification and Unity

The spiritual light of holy festivals calls for inner purification and universal unity. Divine incarnations manifest for all humanity, not a single culture. Realization requires strict discipline to purify one's nature from passion, anger, greed, attachment, and ego. These inner enemies destroy years of practice when temptation arises. The intellect must guard the soul, the VIP within. Jealousy and hatred prevent unity and love. Spiritual days remind us that God's love has no boundaries, like a river all may drink from. One achieves immortality by overcoming these negative qualities. Follow the divine example of those who remained on the path despite suffering. "God-realization, or liberation, is not limited to any culture, country, or any part of the world. It is universal." "Where there is īrṣā or dveṣa, jealousy and duality, there cannot be unity."

The Miracle of Prāṇa

The miracle of life is prāṇa, found in the inhalation and exhalation. Seek not in the external world of tension and competition, but within the peaceful breath. This prāṇa is the cosmic energy nourishing all living beings. Its regulation through prāṇāyāma is the core of yoga, enabling profound health and the burning of karma. This sacred science originated with Śiva, transmitted through Pārvatī and later sages like Patañjali, who systematized it. Modern interpretations often fragment yoga, losing its essence. A true, systematic practice requires a guide to avoid damage and demands personal discipline. Through dedicated prāṇāyāma, the mind calms, leading towards samādhi, where one transcends dualities like heat and cold. "Where are you searching for me? You will find me nowhere. My residence is in the forest, not in the city." "Through the prāṇāyāma technique, you can prolong your credit with high interest. The interest is very high, and when you see the interest, you will be very happy, because interest is more than capital." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Four Principles

Teaching yoga is a profound act of selfless service. A teacher's effectiveness diminishes with self-interest, as they lose their essential quality and others' respect. The system's founders sought only human well-being, for human harmony dictates nature's harmony. The unguided human intellect is the planet's most dangerous force, easily educated toward saintliness or destruction, with all actions arising from the conditioned subconscious. The ṛṣis gave spiritual science freely, like God gave the elements. To help others, one must possess a divine conscience that quits self-interest. A teacher must first embody four principles: vairāgya (detachment and seeing equality), tyāga (renunciation of personal interest), dhyāna, and bhakti. Renunciation is the sole gate to the divine. A teacher represents complete wisdom but must first be a supatra, a worthy vessel, to receive and multiply the teaching. This role transcends physical instruction, requiring jñāna (wisdom utilized for oneself) to avoid being like an animal. Bhakti is feeling another's pain as your own. Realizing these four principles makes one a receptive vessel. "Enter the kingdom of God through the gate of sacrifice." "Renounce and enjoy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Tulsi

Tulsī is a sacred plant protected for its Āyurvedic utility. It is found in many homes, married to Kṛṣṇa, and cared for by household ladies who pray for family well-being. Its presence brings divine vibrations and keeps away negative forces. Tulsī requires extreme purity: one must bathe, clean, and avoid impurities before tending to it. It dislikes alcohol, meat, and cigarettes, preferring incense. If all conditions are met, it fosters love and harmony. There are black and white varieties. A rare eighteen-year-old "virgin" Tulsī requires a marriage ceremony, but such longevity is a rare perfection. "Where Tulsī is present, there is a divine vibration; there are goddesses, and no devils can enter that house." "If you have a virgin Tulsī at home and if she survives for eighteen years, then you must arrange her marriage." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Money and Purity

The divine principle is to give first in order to receive abundantly from God. Human doubt leads us to rely solely on our own small efforts, which is like filling a pot with a spoon, instead of trusting in divine provision, which comes like a flood. The imagery of Lakṣmī shows that people chase wealth, causing the inner Viṣṇu, representing the divine self, to suffer from jealousy. Therefore, one must cultivate giving and renunciation. True wealth, embodied by Lakṣmī, only resides where there is inner purity—devotion, humility, and kindness—free from mental pollution. This spiritual purity is symbolized by the sacred ash from fire, a unity now often lost in modern life. While philosophies like Vedānta and communism aimed for oneness, their corruption led to failure, just as modern democracy has become corrupted by a singular, ruthless pursuit of money above all else. "Give to Me, and then you will see what I give you." "Renounce and enjoy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Ambitions and faithfulness

Ambition prevents success and destroys the fruit of spiritual practice. Without a Guru's grace and true faithfulness, efforts yield no result. Faithfulness is now lost, as minds ask "What do I get?" and thus miss its golden benefit. An unsteady, ambitious mind cannot achieve perfection. A story illustrates this. A being sought immortality from Śiva but was refused. He then requested a power: whoever's head he touched would burn. Granted this, he immediately tried to use it on Śiva himself. Śiva fled. Viṣṇu, appearing as a dancer, tricked the being into a dance where he imitated her movements and placed his hand on his own head, burning himself. His own ambition destroyed him. Therefore, proceed step by step. Be faithful to your practice, your friends, yourself, your master, and your disciples. Direct experience, like that of spiritual energies, is beyond intellect. It is like blind men describing an elephant—each touches a different part and claims a different truth. All are right from their limited experience, and none grasp the whole. "Ambition will burn us and will not help us to be successful." "Every individual has different experiences." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

Beyond time and space

Time is a mental construct, not an ultimate reality. Our destiny stems from past deeds, yet we have forgotten this connection. In truth, there is no time; it is a product of the human brain. We invented the clock and its measurements. There is no boundary, hence the state described as beyond time and space. The intellect, which created this complication, becomes liberated from these limitations. That timeless moment is called samādhi. In that state, consciousness becomes one without a second. The past, present, and future—the entire universe—is known. The three principles of knower, knowledge, and object merge into one. Only the absolute declaration of oneness remains. There is no past or future, only the undivided present. "Time is only a product of the human brain." "When these three merge into one, then only 'So'ham,' 'Ahaṁ Brahmāsmi' remains."

Gauri Shankar

The Mūlādhāra chakra is the earth element, preserving and giving birth to all seeds of destiny. This productive foundation daily generates new sprouts from the unconscious. The divine Śakti is the universal strength holding the cosmos, a consciousness beyond anatomical gender distinctions. Within each person exists both male and female energy principles, known as Iḍā and Piṅgalā. The seed of Śiva resides in the Sahasrāra, while the seed of Śakti, by destiny, is in the Mūlādhāra. Yet their strongest concentrations are reversed, prompting a guiding union. The awakening Śakti ascends like a sprout, activating specific nerves and brain centers. This regeneration brings health, youthfulness, lightness, and a singular desire for divine love. "This earth preserves everything. This Mother Earth does not lose or destroy seeds; she gives birth to them." "The Śakti that dwells in consciousness knows no difference such as 'he' and 'she.'"

Five chakras

Chakras are energy centers akin to dynamos; movement generates energy, stillness does not. This produced energy is not physical but influences the physical being, aiding senses and bodily movement. Each chakra is like a disc with two parts turning in opposite directions, awakening energy where they meet. These centers exist throughout the body, categorized from earth to divine levels, each retaining qualities of the preceding stage. The five primary chakras correspond to the five elements. Their impure or unbalanced awakening, particularly of animal energies, can lead to a loss of control over body and mind. Purification through mantra is essential, as intellectual rigidity without heart compromises spiritual progress. Mantra's power transcends linguistic or religious labels, being a universal energy like love or electricity. "A chakra is like a disc. Each chakra always has two parts, and they are turning dynamically." "Mantra is mantra. There is no Christian or Hindu or Jewish or Muslim. Love is love." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

It is the yogateacher's duty to treat everyone equally

The teacher's path requires equal vision and surrender. A teacher must see all students equally, without personal preference. Spiritual development occurs through the act of teaching itself. The protective mantra is "I am not the doer," signifying the Guru speaks through the teacher. Students are not drawn to superficial qualities like appearance or cleverness, which are common. They value the teacher's clear consciousness, honesty, devotion, and knowledge. This is the foundation of their confidence. "Remember the golden preaching: Samdṛṣṭi—equal vision." "People appreciate your clear consciousness. People appreciate your honesty." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The key to success is the self discipline

A teacher must arrive ten minutes early and personally verify the room's condition. Do not delegate this essential duty to an assistant. Chronic lateness and lack of personal responsibility undermine discipline. An example from governance shows that enforcing punctuality transforms work and order. Discipline is the universal foundation for success, in yoga, national affairs, and all endeavors. It is the non-negotiable principle for effective action. "Discipline makes the country great." "Yoga can be successful only if you have discipline." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Limitations of the yogateacher's knowledge

The key problem in teaching lies with the teachers, not the students. The difficulties are within ourselves. When a teacher realizes they are not teaching others but teaching themselves, things improve. Teaching is most joyful and beautiful because it reveals the capacity and the limits of one's own knowledge. It is a process of self-discovery. The act of teaching exposes what you truly understand. It clarifies your own thoughts. It shows where your knowledge ends. This self-awareness is the foundation of true teaching. The joy comes from this honest self-assessment. The beauty is in the growth it prompts. The teacher's primary student is always themselves. "To teach is something most joyful and beautiful." "because then you know the capacity of your knowledge; because then you will know the limits of your knowledge." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

If you throw dust towards the Sun, the dust will fall on you

The sun teaches through its nature. If you throw dust at it, the dust falls back on you; negative thoughts return as karma. The sun asks for nothing and gives endlessly; all creatures wait for its light and take as much as they can. It is described as a dark, solid form like coal, yet it constantly burns and gives light through fire. The sun is personified, feeling sadness and concern for a successor, stating one must burn in disciplined tapas to take its place. The lesson is to give, for the day you think to have, you lose everything. "Nothing is darker than the sun. But this gas which comes out of it... is constantly burning, giving us light." "I have to give. On the day when you think to have, then you will lose everything." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Is the yogateacher a Guru?

A true teacher is recognized, not declared. A yoga teacher and a Guru are the same in essence, but the title of Guru is conferred by others, not claimed by the self. One who is truly great does not announce their own greatness, just as a diamond does not proclaim its own value. Others see its brilliance and affirm it. To declare oneself a Guru invites only hollow congratulations, not genuine respect. The role is defined by the acknowledgment of students, not by self-appointment. The distinction lies not in function but in the source of the title. A teacher may state their profession, but the honorific Guru is earned through perception. The sarcasm directed at a self-proclaimed Guru reveals this unspoken truth: the title signifies a depth of mastery and reverence that must be witnessed. "Teacher and Gurū are the same, but you cannot say, 'Now I am a Gurū.'" "The great one never says that he is great. It is like a diamond; a diamond does not say, 'I am a diamond, and my value is so much.'" Filming location: Vép, Hungary

What changes us money into?

The primary human occupation is collecting money, which is not inherently bad if used for universal welfare. Greed destroys the divine disposition, Śiva Bhāva. Its loss removes renunciation, then detachment, then wisdom. The life force of all this is devotion. Without it, the heart's ground dries completely, becoming a parched, rotten tree. This barren state is merely a perch for a bird that signifies negative blackmail—implanting negative thoughts, words, and sounds. We must instead plant positive words and sounds in others' minds. "Then the ground is dried out; there is no more water. The ground becomes completely parched; there is no more water—a rotten tree, a tree dried out." "May God bless us to be that individual who will plant in other people's minds positive words, positive sounds." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Opening of the Yogateacher Seminar

Yoga is the complete source of life's meaning, happiness, health, and wisdom, found only through its divine science. Without the teachings, seminars, and presence of the master, success is impossible. This gathering is a profound privilege and responsibility for all students. The shared knowledge and love must be applied diligently in daily life for the benefit of oneself and all beings. The ultimate aim is for this meeting to serve the Divine and all living creation. May the master be pleased with this sincere effort. "Yoga is much greater than we can imagine. The sense of life, the happiness, the health, and the wisdom which we are seeking in the world, in the universe, can be found completely only through yoga." "May this meeting be in the glory of the Divine, for the benefit of all living beings." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

You Are Not Lost

Disappointment arises from weak thoughts like "no one loves me," which further weaken you. Why should anyone love you? What is so special about you? Instead, ask if you love others. Do you even understand love? Cultivate motivation and independence. Do not compare yourself or think you have lost everything. If you did lose something, it was merely given and then taken back. The modern world is full of temptations and disappointments. If you are disappointed, do not suffer, for this is not the last disappointment. We will celebrate the last one. Therefore, take things as they are. Meditate, pray, do good, and do Śiva—do not depend on anyone. It comes and goes. "You often say, 'No one loves me,' but have you considered why they should?" "We will celebrate the last one. That is it." Filming location: Croatia

Our Eyes Are Given to See the Beauty of God

The aim is to see God's beauty and divinity, which is self-realization. We possess eyes to behold this divine beauty. A teacher, when offered a sightseeing tour, declined, stating he had seen many sights but now sought to see directly that which is within: self-knowledge. Therefore, your interest should be this inner vision. See the beauty of God in every person and every place you look. This consciousness of perceiving God everywhere is the first realization. Following this, you will attain self-realization. "Eyes are given for looking at the beauty of God." "I have seen so many things, but I want to see that which I have not seen, and that I see is within me: ātmā jñāna, self-realization." Filming location: Croatia

Yoga is for All

Yoga is for all humanity, transcending man-made divisions. We are not born with a religious identity; these are constructs we created, and our suffering stems from these separations. The essential need is for universal love, respect, and tolerance. Yoga itself recognizes no such duality. It is a practice for every person regardless of background. Its purpose is to unify. Therefore, engaging sincerely with yoga leads one toward happiness and wellness. It is a path of integration, not exclusion. The practice serves our common human condition. It aims to heal the fractures we have imposed upon ourselves. "No one is born stamped with such an identity, destined to be born as a Christian or anything else." "Therefore, the practice of yoga will bring you only happiness and good health." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

For Awakening of the Kundalini

Kuṇḍalinī awakening requires correct technique, not the psychological programs of self-made "half-gurus" which cause complications and nerve imbalance instead. True awakening is the arising of cosmic love, bringing initial clarity, calm energy, and relaxation. You cease feeling anger or nervousness. With eyes closed, you perceive inner light and reality, understanding your body as an instrument to care for. This divine Śakti within, when merged with consciousness, liberates you from karma. It is a spiritual science that sequentially opens inner doors to wisdom, knowledge, and love. "Therefore, the awakening of Kuṇḍalinī is the awakening of cosmic love." "Kuṇḍalinī is a spiritual science; it will open the inner treasures." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Subconsciousness and Inner Functions

The subconscious is the storeroom for all life's sensory impressions, beginning in the womb where the mother's condition affects the child. A woman deserves lifelong respect and protection, not only during pregnancy. The mind functions between the conscious and subconscious, recording perceptions into the subconscious where they become desires. The intellect judges these desires; if unfulfilled, the mind returns them to the subconscious, potentially emerging as dreams or psychic issues. True resolution comes through purifying practices like meditation. "Everything that has happened till today is transferred to the subconsciousness." "The mind is that principle which functions between the conscious and subconscious to take information from the consciousness." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The Key to Succes Is Self Discipline

The path of realization requires two essentials: a firm decision and love for the practice. A practitioner's resolve must be unwavering, like an immovable mountain. The second necessity is love; without devotion to your practice, the goal is unreachable. Your practice is your God until realization is attained. Neglecting practice—mantra, meditation, prayer—is to lose the way. Success depends on self-discipline. Where discipline is absent, everything is lost. Discipline is the royal path; without it, there is no success. "The Moon and Sun may change their course, but my direction I will not alter."

Story of a prince and Swami

A saint's true power is revealed not through miracles, but through his unbroken equanimity when tested. A prince sought a great saint known for his presence alone being a blessing. Riding through the forest, the prince encountered a man laboring on the road under the hot sun. The prince repeatedly asked the silent laborer for directions to the saint's hut, receiving no reply. In frustration, the prince struck the man with his horsewhip before riding on. Upon reaching the hut, the disciple revealed the saint was out cleaning the very path the prince had traveled. The saint then returned and, before the prince could apologize, thanked him. The saint explained the prince's act was a test of his character, like tapping a clay pot to hear if it was sound or broken. The prince, now knowing the saint was complete, paid his respects. "You tested me. Now you know if I am broken or I am complete." "When we buy a cooking pot made of clay, we test it to see if it is complete or broken." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The River of Love and Consciousness

The purpose of human life is to merge with the divine. We are blessed to be in this river of divine love and consciousness, which flows to the ocean of immortality. Every consciousness entering this river will merge into cosmic consciousness. Human life is given to know God and oneself, to love and protect all creatures. The human consciousness can reach the cosmic state, but worldly temptations, stress, and differences cause confusion. People lose the way to the river that flows toward God. One who enters the river becomes the river; that river entering the ocean becomes the ocean. Therefore, the purpose is to find the divine center and remove all obstacles on the path. "Whoever enters into that river will become the river, and that river which enters into the ocean will become the ocean." "Therefore, the purpose of human life is to find the center and the divine presence... and to remove all the obstacles which come on the path." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Dead bodies

The presence of dead matter in the home creates negative energy, undermining family harmony. Modern society paradoxically avoids human corpses yet stores animal corpses in refrigerators for consumption. A dead body, whether human or animal, carries the same inauspicious energy. This pervasive negative energy is the root cause of domestic unhappiness, conflict, and children's desire to flee the home. Children rush through their obligations at home to escape its oppressive atmosphere. Their subsequent activities outside often lead to detrimental behaviors, which parents inadvertently encourage. This familial breakdown occurs because the home's energy is corrupted. The constant presence of meat, eggs, and dead bodies in storage, cooking pots, and stomachs pollutes the domestic environment. These items possess a prāṇa, a fresh energy that sustains youth, yet their dead state contradicts this vitality. "They possess a prāṇa, that fresh energy that makes you young, most certainly." "Why is this happening? Because in your home there is no good energy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Be good

Do one thing: each morning, tell yourself, "I would like to be good." Be good to every creature and all of nature. This single intention can change the world. "Be good" also means being honest; it awakens your hidden qualities and leads to realization. Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and God-realization. There is a God, a realization, a reality. I bless you with good health, long life, and harmony in your family, society, and country. "Simply say to yourself, 'Be good.'" "Thus, yoga is the science of the body, the mind, consciousness, and God-realization." Filming location: Zlin, Czech Republic

Prolong your life through PRANAYAMA

Focusing on the breath reveals the color of your prāṇa, which diagnoses health and predicts future illness, like an internal weather station. This quality can also foretell the time of leaving the body. Such perception is either a divine gift or achieved through practice. Your breath is your most precious life credit; prāṇāyāma saves it by slowing respiration. Reducing breaths from fifteen to eight per minute saves breath, thereby prolonging life. Mastering breath through techniques like Anuloma Viloma allows control and enables reading nature's indications, such as predicting pregnancy or a child's health. "Similarly, for a yoginī, that weather station is inside, and the prāṇa is telling everything: when you will be ill, what kind of illness it is." "Therefore, prāṇāyāma—practicing prāṇāyāma—means to save your breath. And how to save? Breathe slow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Ancestors

Our connection to ancestors is fundamental, not merely sentimental. Families are bound by a love that transcends generations, forming a joint capital. Modern fragmentation, like seeking separate homes or divorce, severs this and causes widespread suffering. This rupture represents a loss of ancestral guidance and recipes for living. Many cultures deeply revere ancestors who observe and protect us. Our responsibility is to honor them, as their liberation can depend upon our actions. We carry debts, including to parents and teachers, that must be acknowledged. Fulfilling these duties stabilizes life. Establishing a sacred focus in the home, like a Śakti Pīṭha, and performing regular worship appeases protective forces. This practice alleviates life's turbulence and karmic burdens, creating harmony. Ancestral spirits are present in the world around us; our duty is to keep them pleased through remembrance and right action. "Through getting divorced, how many relationships suffer? Grandparents suffer from both sides. Parents suffer from both sides." "The ancestors are always there, and the liberation of the ancestors depends on the children."

Explanation of bhajans SUNO RE MENA and SUNO RE SUVA

A symbolic dialogue teaches that worldly joys are fleeting, while spiritual practice leads to eternal union. A parrot couple in a beautiful park shares daily spiritual discourse. The male advises the female that sensual pleasures are a poisonous, temporary mirage compared to the immortal nectar of divine connection. He warns that death is ever-present and separation is inevitable. True togetherness is achieved only by realizing the oneness of the soul through mantra repetition and devotion. Despite the teaching, both parrots still enjoy worldly fruits, illustrating the mind's distraction. Ultimately, they commit to spiritual practice, merging into oneness at dawn. "Enjoy in prayers, in bhakti, in repeating the names of God. There is a joy; the joy is there in spirituality. This is the essence of life." "Therefore, let us do something so that we will be ever together. That can only be if we lead a spiritual life, so that we will unite in oneness." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Janmasthami - incarnation of Lord Krishna

The incarnation of Kṛṣṇa is universal, meant for the entire planet. Kṛṣṇa is the complete incarnation representing the entire cosmic consciousness. He manifests through divine power in every age to protect righteousness and the devoted, to dispel ignorance and destroy evil. The specific birthplace of a saint is irrelevant, as the whole world is one divine family and the light of God is within every being. This incarnation brings light into darkness, guiding from ignorance to knowledge. All sincere and positive spiritual aspirations are known and will be fulfilled by the inner guide, in due time. "Time to time I manifest myself... to protect my bhaktas... to bring the light of knowledge and destroy the darkness of ignorance." "Lead us from the darkness to the light."

Desires

Desires arise from circumstance, yet their fulfillment rests with destiny. We strive, then seek divine aid, attributing outcomes to blessing or our own failure. A story illustrates this. Two thieves promised Lord Śiva a human head for success in theft. Their own desire formed this vow. After stealing, they killed a prince to fulfill it. The blame fell upon an innocent yogi meditating in the temple. Arrested and facing death, the yogi prayed from the heart, unlike superficial prayers full of wishes. Śiva explained the thieves acted from their own imagination; the yogi's plight was the ripening of a past karma from childhood cruelty. Due to his devotion, he was protected from death. Karma spares no one; time waits for none. Do not blame God for your own desires. Think before you wish. "Other prayers are on the surface and mostly come from here (the mind): 'Lord, I want to find work. I want a partner.'" "Karma will not leave anybody free. Karma will not exclude you, and time will not wait for you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Swamiji's speach at the 3rd International Youth Peace Conference

The foundation for a happy future is a complete family and spiritual education. Father and mother must stay together for the children's happiness. Giving children too much freedom and material things leads them astray; they need love and wisdom, not toys and money. Culture is essential to human life, and its highest form is agriculture. If agriculture is destroyed, all cultures and humanity perish, so organic farming is vital. World peace rests on tolerance, respect, and understanding for all cultures and situations. True spiritual education teaches love for all creatures, not narrow religious thinking. To be free and protected, one must give freedom and protection to others. "Children do not need your toys, they need your love; and children do not need your money, they need your wisdom." "If you want to be free, then you have to give freedom to others."

SAT SANATAN DHARMA - The True Ethernal Religion

There is only one eternal religion, which is our duty to realize our union with the divine. Originally, gatherings were in temples, not churches, but all places of worship are equal. This one religion is Sanātana Dharma, the eternal principle uniting all creation. Teachings delivered through human incarnations, like those of Kṛṣṇa or Jesus, are considered man-made expressions of this truth. The eternal itself—God, creation, consciousness—is not man-made. Our primary dharma is simply our humanity; we are not born labeled by sect. In death, there are no religious barriers, only the impersonal law of karma judges our deeds. No divine being rewards sectarian violence; such duality and the desire to claim followers are products of the human ego and quest for power, not the divine will, which desires free belief. "You people believe more in gold than in God. You believe in money, but money will destroy you." "Karma pradhān—karma is the main thing. What you did, your deeds, will divide you."

Instructions for bhajan singers and bhajan CETANA KA CILKA SVAMI NE

The practice is a call-and-response rhythm that builds clarity through disciplined waiting. A main singer provides a line, and the group repeats it in unison. After this, there is a deliberate pause where only the instrumental notes are played, allowing for absorption before the next line is introduced. This structured waiting is not passive; it demands significant energy, akin to holding back a racing horse to build potential. The process cultivates patience as a form of concentrated power. The leader will now observe to ensure the group follows this rule of singing, then waiting, then singing again. "Clarity requires the energy to wait." "Waiting demands a great deal of energy. To hold back takes tremendous energy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
