Yoga is a complete knowledge for body and consciousness, originating from the primordial unity. The practice is for daily life, leading to health and bliss through the awakening of our inner energy systems. The origin is Śūnyatā, a state of nothingness, from which the one declared, "I am one and will multiply." This is the divine resonance, the primal sound that vibrates throughout the universe and within every cell. From this vibration emerged the five principles: endless space, consciousness, and the balancing forces of harmony and oneness. The human body mirrors this cosmic structure, containing energy centers, or cakras, and five sheaths, from the physical to the blissful. Regular practice harmonizes these layers, activating the inherent power and knowledge within. The Sanskrit language and its sounds are keys to this activation, influencing our entire being. True yoga is an internal process of unification, not merely external exercise. "Eko'ham bahusyāmi—I am one, and I will multiply." "God is this resonance. Not any bodies—that is only resonance."

The Five Stages of Mantra Practice

Mantra practice unfolds through five distinct stages. The first stage is Likhita, the written mantra, which requires correct form to preserve meaning. The second is Vācika, the vocalized pronunciation of that written form. The third stage is Upāṁśika, where the mantra is articulated by the tongue without audible sound. The fourth is Mānasika, a mental repetition without any physical movement. The fifth and final stage is Ajapa, where the mantra resonates spontaneously throughout the entire being without any effort. This progression internalizes the sacred sound until it becomes one's inherent nature. The practice must be received from and dedicated to the master. Correct foundational practice prevents deviation, yet the guru-given mantra itself is paramount beyond form. The ultimate goal is for the mantra to permeate one's entire existence, leading to realization. "Likhita means writing." "Ajapa means that which is not japa, that which happens without japa."

Mantra for harmony

Mantra is the power of mind and speech, rooted in the word 'man' for mind. Fear is a dominant power residing permanently within us from childhood, extending to learning, work, and relationships. This fear can be invoked by a single word, a 'mantra' of threat. Speech holds immense power; a wife's words can keep a husband awake, just as a husband's words can affect his wife. There is a difference in the qualities of expression between men and women. The essence of true mantra is found in positive, respectful, and harmonious communication that carries spiritual power, like a sacred poem. A guru's grace is essential for real spiritual liberation, not self-proclaimed attainment. All beings, even divine figures, have a guide. Mantra can be used for good or ill, so we must choose words that bless and connect. "O Tulsīdās, don’t go in that house. Even if the diamonds are falling down in your house." "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Deva Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

Yoga and the five bodies

The individual is the king of the kingdom constituted by the five sheaths: the physical, energetic, mental, wisdom, and bliss bodies. Within this kingdom exist the ten sense organs and countless beings like cells and habits. The king, the soul, must govern through discipline, not become enslaved by citizens like negative habits or uncontrolled senses. Negligence leads to the kingdom's illness and disintegration. Mastery requires balancing the body and mind through the vital energy, cultivated by pure living, mantra, and meditation. Discipline is the foundation of yoga. "Do not be the slave of your citizens. You have to equally control and take care of them." "Your habits, your qualities, these are the horses." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

The Essence of Mantra

Mantra is the thirst and desire of the mind. Our mind is never content; it craves endlessly for more—more money, more possessions. This thirst causes suffering and separation, as when a parent leaves a family. Mantra is this very energy of craving. To find peace, we must end desire. When the mind has no desires, it becomes content. A mantra received from a master is a sacred responsibility, like being given a child; it should not be given away lightly. True spiritual practice means surrendering negativity and cultivating devotion to all. The goal is to purify the mind so that positive, protective mantras can bring clarity and unity. Mantra is present in all states—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. It is the essence of our thoughts and the key to returning to a divine path. "Man means our mind. Tra has two meanings... a dream is when one is comforted." "Guruji said, there are only two words. Man and Tra. Man means mind, and Tra means poison. What was that? Desire."

Practising for harmonizing Manipur chakra.

Concentrate on the body to awaken the Mūlādhāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, and Maṇipūra chakras, developing immunity through the navel center. Locate the pulse at the navel by applying deep pressure. Raise the corresponding leg or both legs based on the pulse's location, maintaining a height of thirty centimeters. This action balances the prāṇa and apāna energies at the Maṇipūra. A centered navel pulse indicates perfect digestion and balanced weight. Perform these postures periodically to harmonize the three primary nāḍīs and strengthen the organs. The practice culminates in a balanced, meditative state. "As long as our center, our navel pulse, is exactly in the center of our navel, then we will have no disturbances in digestion." "Balancing in the Maṇipūra Cakra, the navel... Normal breath will raise the immunity very much and relax you down."

Satsang helps you to cross the ocean of maya

The strength of satsaṅg is amplified collective spiritual energy. We share our burdens and energies, so no one carries the full weight alone. Like raindrops uniting into a mighty river, our individual strength combines into a powerful flow toward the divine ocean. This river may temporarily separate around islands of ignorance, but it merges again. If our energy becomes an emotional flood, it can wash away spiritual progress, so balance is essential. The mind is a mirror reflecting the self; cleaning faults on the reflection is futile—you must clean the source. Impurity is in the mind, cleaned by the soap of discernment and the rock of dispassion. Satsaṅg is the boat crossing the ocean of illusion. Even a sinful person, like a nail hooked to wood, is carried by this collective dharma. You must stay in the boat; leaving it means being lost. This world is temporary; you take nothing with you. Therefore, remain alert and committed to the satsaṅg, for it is the vehicle to liberation. "Energy cannot be kept for oneself alone; your strength is for everything." "Satguru nām jahāj hai: The Satguru’s name is the boat." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

Release your bad qualities

Traditions and inner truth are being lost, requiring sincere self-confrontation. Global traditions like garlanding and festival trees reveal a shared human culture now fading. This loss signifies a decline in humility and respect. Spiritual practices and scriptures are also manipulated or destroyed, making genuine discipline rare. Truth is difficult to accept and often rejected, as seen with historical figures. One must purify inner qualities to uncover the inherent inner light. A key training is to honestly confront one's own negative traits in solitude. Write your anger, hate, greed, and selfishness on an inner blackboard. This inner master is often ignored by our offended and emotional nature. Parents now lack the quality to educate children in proper discipline, mirroring a broader spiritual decline. Superficial cultural adherence and physical adornment distract from natural beauty and inner work. Spiritual practice requires obeying the inner master and embracing necessary bitterness over weakness. Maintain the body and practice with care, as negative emotions destroy inner organs. Harmonize through sincere practice to achieve freedom. "Write on the blackboard all your negative qualities which you know." "Truth is the truth. We cannot digest it."

The Key of Mantra: Transcending Stress Through Meditation and Divine Light

The key to transcending stress is meditation with mantra. Meditation without mantra shuts one in a closed room, inviting fear. A true mantra is given by a master through a touch on the Ājñā or Sahasrāra Chakra. That touch opens infinite space and instantly dissolves all stress. The master transmits an ancient ṛṣi’s blessing, the Gurumantra, passed unchanged. Yet some masters are hollow vessels, like peanuts emptied by moths—incomplete. The first mantra purifies heart and mind, demanding sweet and loving speech. The body is a vessel; when full of balance through mantra, thoughts become harmonious. The second mantra begins: Śubhaṁ karoti kalyāṇam ārogyaṁ dhana sampadā. It invokes auspiciousness, health, and prosperity. It continues: śatru buddhi vināśāya, destroying hostile thoughts in one’s own intellect. As hostile thoughts are purified, the light of wisdom, Dīpa Jyoti, shines. This light is Paraṁ Brahma, the Supreme, removing darkness and attachment. The full mantra is: Dīpa jyoti paraṁ brahma dīpaṁ sarva mohanaṁ. Once the master’s touch has implanted the energy, it remains eternally active. Live in this light, walk with light, and all stress will be gone. "Meditation without mantra is not a path to the end. Those who meditate without a mantra will sooner or later awaken fear." "When a master gives the blessing, he touches your head. In that moment, the master utters a word, a mantra."

Causes of our tensions

Every evening should be dedicated to beauty and goodness, free from sorrow and negativity. Our topic is anti-stress through Yoga in Daily Life, a holistic system for wisdom, joy, and bliss. In this age, negative energies like hatred arise from dualism based on culture or religion, creating fear and conflict within families and society. These negative thoughts can manifest as disease. Stress comes from craving and overwork without boundaries. Material gains are left behind; only our good or negative thoughts and deeds accompany the soul, leading it upward or into darkness. These are our mental impressions, purified through mantra, prayer, and divine grace. Be fully human; let the first morning thought be "I am a human being," dissolving stress and awakening love. Live with constant vigilance in all actions and associations. Let positive thoughts flow like pure water, cleansing illness and allowing bliss. Be like a tree, giving freely without anger. Be free like a bird, moving in joy. Unite with the divine in peace. "Yoga in Daily Life is a system of wholeness. It touches our heart. It gives us a wisdom filled with joy, harmony, and bliss." "Only good thoughts, good deeds or negatives... lead our consciousness to the higher levels... or goes towards the darkness." Filming locations: Salzburg, Salzburg, Austria.

The Key to Peace: Dissolving Stress through Divine Language and Contentment

Peace arises from divine language and the practice of forgiveness. Stress stems from fear and attachment to transient things. Worldly positions, wealth, and relationships eventually leave one isolated, as illustrated by the retired director. The ultimate fear is of death and suffering. Sacred texts teach forgiveness, a language that ends conflict. Contentment, not acquisition, dissolves stress. Techniques exist, but fear only leaves through renunciation and inner fulfillment. True refuge is found in divine connection, not in people or possessions. Mantra and meditation lead to this inner light. Awareness is the key to unlocking stress. "Fear disappears only when we renounce." "Our true shield is the boat of God, which the mantra carries." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

Lecture of Vishwaguruji

The practice of a peace mantra and specific techniques manage stress. Peace is a universal condition perceived through sound, which originates from the navel and pervades existence. Stress arises from fear, not merely work. Its external causes enter thoughts and mind. Meditation is essential but often disrupted by intrusive thoughts, requiring a focal point like a mantra. A simple numeric mantra serves those without religious belief. Physical exercises, including acupressure and breathing, release tension from the body and mind. Consistent practice develops awareness to dissolve stressful thoughts. "Lead us from unreality to reality. Lead us from darkness to light." "Stress begins from the outside and then enters our thoughts and then our mind." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

Meditation with Vishwaguruji

A meditation posture must be comfortable, not torturous. Relax the entire body completely from toes to head. Repeat your mantra mentally, beginning with Oṁ. Focus awareness on the breath to overcome stress. Bring all attention to the navel center. Relax the facial muscles, jaw, neck, and throat. Let the breath flow in the abdomen, where stress resides. Relax the shoulders, arms, and stomach. Feel yourself becoming light. All tensions are created within. Feel the positive energy present. Relax every limb like melting snow. Bring awareness back to the relaxed abdomen. The Maṇipūra and Anāhata cakras are relaxed. Form a lasting resolve against burnout. "Relax completely. With or without a mālā, simply repeat your mantra mentally." "So-called stress is not in the brain; it resides in the lower abdomen." Filming location: Villach, Austria

The Eternal Flow: On Sanātana Dharma

Sanātana Dharma is the eternal, natural order, not a man-made religion. It is the universal process visible in nature: a seed grows into a tree, a life develops in the womb. What humans call God's creation is this perpetual flow. Our physical bodies are composed of five elements that return to their origins upon death; only the soul, the jīvātmā, transmigrates according to karma. The Earth itself is immortal, perpetually regenerating life from its seeds. While various man-made religions exist with different names and forms, they can all lead to the same formless supreme reality—Brahman, Allah, or the Holy Father. True spiritual practice is not lazy repetition but involves positive action, meditation, and non-harm to all creatures. Do not fight over religious differences; instead, cooperate and respect all paths as branches of one tree. "Sanātana Dharma is eternal dharma, and other dharma is what we call man-made religion." "Ultimately, we all come to oneness... Ultimately, God will be there for us." Filming location: Austria

Peace Tree planting in Villach

This tree is a symbol of peace and life. It stands as a mother and father, enduring all conditions. We seek peace, yet the world is filled with hatred and anger. The power lies in forgiveness and understanding. This tree represents nonviolence, which is deeply needed. Peace originates from our hearts and from Mother Nature. The mantras chanted here provide safety and energy to all living beings. Positive wishes for health and peace made here will be fulfilled, but negative wishes will not. This location was waiting for this tree, which now acts as a center. "This tree stands here for us, as everyone has said, for peace." "Peace and ahimsā, and peace comes from our hearts, or from Mother Nature." Filming location: Austria

Morning meditation in Villach

The Gāyatrī Mantra is chanted mentally, ascending and descending through the spinal column. Chant with the consistent melody. Vibrate the mantra from Mūlādhāra Cakra to Sahasrāra Cakra. Move vibration up and down the spine. Practice this at Brahmamuhūrta before sunrise. Visualize the sunrise in Cidākāśa. Imagine the holy river Gaṅgā. Step into the Gaṅgā up to the navel. Take water in both hands. Pour water back in abhiṣeka. This practice fulfills good wishes. This practice brings health. This practice purifies negative energy. For Sūrya Pūjā without Gaṅgā, wake before sunrise and shower. Hold a lota of pure water in both hands. Pour water slowly on a tulasī plant or another plant. Face the direction of the sunrise. "The effect of the Gāyatrī Mantra is that it goes up and down along the spine." "This will bring your good wishes to fulfillment, your health, and the purification of negative energy."

The Power of Mantra and the Significance of Śarad Pūrṇimā

A mantra creates peace and cleanses personal and environmental energy. Words carry power, shaping outcomes. The Gāyatrī Mantra from the Vedas generates harmony, affecting the five bodies—physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and blissful. Repeating it daily improves family harmony and health. Today is Śarad Pūrṇimā, a full moon radiating the energy of immortality. On this night, cooking milk rice and exposing it to moonlight transforms it into nectar, beneficial for health. This day also combines with Jupiter, making it Guru Pūrṇimā, a time of potent spiritual radiance. It marks a sacred initiation within the lineage. The preceding nine nights honored the Divine Mothers, leading to Dīvālī, which celebrates light over negativity and the primacy of the divine feminine, Lakṣmī, representing prosperity and purity. "Every day, when everyone repeats this Gāyatrī Mantra at least five times, it brings a lot." "Today, the moonlight, this moonlight, is very, very special because today, in this full moon, is radiating the energy of immortality." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Practicing Asanas

Yoga practice requires precise posture and dedicated discipline for true benefit. Begin by chanting Oṃ to resonate energy upward. Assume Vīrāsana to strengthen immunity and concentration, focusing breath at the Ājñā Cakra. Proceed through Śaśāṅkāsana and Yogamudrā to increase cerebral circulation and sharpen the senses. Practice forbearance or bliss in postures, balancing without pain. Sarvāṅgāsana and Halāsana circulate energy, stretching the body and balancing glands. Observe the prāṇa flow. Many fail in balancing postures like Haṁsāsana due to restlessness and lack of concentration. Simple postures are neglected; teachers must demonstrate strictly from the beginning for health, concentration, and spiritual development. The body is primary; without its health, nothing is possible. Many are mere consumers, not practitioners, and carry negative energy needing purification. Partnership suffers from domineering attitudes mistaken for yoga. Concentration is rare. Use a yoga book for postural clarity, as a musician uses sheet music. Master all postures, instruct patiently, and allow students time to practice and improve. "The body is not everything, but everything is nothing without the body." "In your yoga class, you should have your yoga book in your hands."

Discipline leads to perfection

Yoga in Daily Life is the discipline of integrating practice into every moment. Patañjali teaches that yoga requires daily discipline to achieve perfection. This discipline applies to nourishment, sleep, walking, and speaking. In speaking, do not assume you are the better speaker and interrupt; listen fully. In practice, maintain a fixed time for your mantra, as the divine attention awaits you at that appointed hour. God is awake while we sleep; this is not love. Our daily rhythm is crucial; disrupting it turns off the body's biorhythm. The name signifies practicing yoga within everyday duties. The system has four principles: body warming, dynamic movements synchronized with breath, stretching, and then holding the posture to become a true āsana. This is not contrary to other systems but follows Patañjali. Practice every day. Support the body with ghee for the joints and with prāṇāyāma. The practice is neutral and for all. "Patañjali said yoga requires discipline. Discipline leads to perfection." "God is awakened, and we are sleeping. That is not love." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Level 5 of Yoga in Daily Life

Advanced yoga practice requires systematic discipline and correct technique to develop bodily harmony and health. The foundational steps establish rhythm, but advanced practice demands meticulous preparation from teachers, who must possess deep knowledge even if they cannot perform every posture themselves. Strict discipline is essential; lateness and distractions are not permitted, as they compromise the collective focus. Physical practice must be precise, with careful attention to alignment, breath, and the activation of energy centers like the Maṇipūra Chakra. Correct, regular practice strengthens the immune system and can prevent most diseases. Issues often arise from improper practice or diet, with a vegetarian lifestyle being highly beneficial. The session includes detailed postural instruction, emphasizing relaxation and concentration to integrate the body's energy. "Students are perfect and will behave exactly as the master behaves." "Practice, practice, o konte, practice." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Satsang from Vienna

Yoga is a practical science for harmonizing body, mind, and soul, radiating inner light and peace. It begins with physical exercises, or āsanas, which generate energy and positively affect all bodily systems. This foundation is supported by good karma, defined as ethical action toward oneself and others. The next vital component is breath, or prāṇa, the vital force synonymous with life and divine presence. Proper breathing exercises promote longevity. Diet is equally crucial; consuming less food correlates with greater energy and a longer life, unlike the overconsumption common in modern living. True yoga practice integrates these elements—posture, breath, and mindful consumption—to create rhythmic harmony within the nervous system and chakras. Ultimately, this personal harmony is the seed for world peace, though this potential is often undermined by greed and competition within the yoga community itself. "Yoga karmasu kauśalam." "Prāṇa is God. God gives us our prāṇa." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Guru Tattva cleans everything

The essence of Guru Tattva is realized through the dual forms of the Guru. The manifest, personal Guru is the accessible form for worship and guidance. The unmanifest Guru is the same reality, present within. The personal form is the practical means to reach the impersonal truth. The Guru principle is transmitted through an ancient spiritual lineage, symbolized by earrings representing the union of masculine and feminine divine energies. Spiritual progress requires purifying the inner instrument. This is achieved by cultivating pure relationships, seeing all beings through the lens of kinship—as mother, father, sister, or brother. This equal vision purifies thoughts and dissolves ego. Surrender is not a physical act but an internal melting of the heart. The Guru's words are a nectar that cleanses negative energies and cuts through karma, bestowing liberation. "Through that, you will come automatically to nirguṇa." "In this way, we can purify our antaḥkaraṇa, mana, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra—the mind, intellect, our consciousness, and our ego." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The center of the Divine Light

The eternal holy light of this spiritual seat has been radiating for forty years. This center in Vienna is a blessed place where thousands have learned yoga and spirituality. The presence of the master imbued it with a lasting spiritual power. This light is for all beings equally, as the sun shines for everyone. The work here is like a seed that has grown into a global tree. You are connected to this lineage; you are also a successor and a student. Enlightenment is not gained by mere touch but through dedicated practice. Your primary task is to cleanse your heart through spiritual discipline. Do not neglect your practice, or the inner light will dim. A blessing given is permanent and will protect you, even if understood later. All worldly conflict is superficial; deep within the heart lies peace. Take light from this eternal flame to ignite your own. "The whole creature is myself, my ātmā. Ātmā soi paramātmā, and this ātmā is the supreme one." "Practice is very important... The task is to first cleanse your heart and cleanse your feelings." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The One God and the Boat of Satsang

There is only one God, and Satsang is the boat to cross the ocean of ignorance. Our soul travels instantly after death, guided by karma, but our mantra is a light. We seek God in many places, but God is one, omnipresent, like space without duality. Everything we seek—joy, devotion, bliss—is already within us, not outside. Daily life and meditation should turn us inward. Time is fleeting; a lost day never returns. Therefore, regular Satsang—gathering in truth—is essential. It is the true path and the boat for liberation, guiding the soul even after death. Physical practices have an end, but Satsang continues forever, leading to the divine abode. Do not miss it. "God is everywhere. And in Sanātana Dharma, we respect that all is one." "Satsang is the boat to cross the ocean of ignorance." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Perfection comes at the end of the life

The Master's way requires the disciple to follow without argument or doubt. Three types exist: the transient flower, the follower who falls away, and the true follower. The relationship is like the Pāras stone turning iron to gold; failure means either the stone or the iron is not real, or a distance of doubt exists. The disciple's cup must be filled. A full cup does not overflow because it pours into other hearts, but first one must ensure neither cup has a hole. Understanding another's true need is essential, not acting on presumption. The path is difficult, and many disciples leave. Perfection and liberation come only at the end of life through continuous learning. Do not speak against the Guru's word. Māyā is the illusion that distracts, like a mirage on a road. Follow the Master. "Pāras saṅga loha kīna, phira bina palaṭa loha. Yathā pāras asalī nahīṁ, yā rahā vichovā." "When your tea cup is full, then no matter how much you pour in, it flows out." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

As far as water flows it remains clean

Health depends on nourishment, society, and thoughts. Laziness is the biggest enemy, a disease of tamas guṇa. This inertia makes one sick, believing "I can’t do anything," yet when danger comes, action proves it is not sickness but laziness. Rajas guṇa, from anger and greed, is another mental illness. These psychic problems are not for doctors, as they stem from behavior. Stagnant water becomes foul; active living keeps one clean. Spiritual illness occurs when the lazy enter sacred spaces only to receive, not work, creating karmic disease. Every thought is recorded, leading to future consequences. Good karma leads to health and self-realization; bad karma leads to lower births. Humans alone can change old karmas through good deeds. No medicine heals karma, only blessings from all beings. Ancestral bonds also cause disease, as unliberated ancestors depend on the living. Ceremonies and pūjās can purify these karmas and bring liberation. One must take responsibility to help liberate ancestors, for they are always with us like a shadow. "Water should flow. When water flows, it is clean, and when water stays, it becomes stinky." "Good karma keeps us healthy, awake, wise, and leads us to our goal. A human life goal means ātmā jñāna." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Avoid manipulated products

Modern illness stems from artificial consumption and neglecting natural living. Good health is an art most fail to practice. Chewing gum falsely signals digestion, harming the system. Artificial sugars and chemical sweeteners cause diabetes, unlike natural honey or cane sugar. Refined oils lack nutrients and are dangerous; natural butter and ghee prevent cholesterol and heart disease. Plastic bottles and polluted water replace good fountain water. Manipulated milk involves animal torture and affects human consciousness. Processed foods and pesticides poison the environment. The mind and senses, especially taste, govern health but often enslave us. Satsaṅg, spiritual fellowship, surpasses even prolonged austerity in granting wellness and purity. "If we had taken natural sugar, we would not be diabetics." "For one minute of satsaṅg... the Earth lifted out of the ocean." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Love and mercy is life

Health is the first wealth, requiring harmony and spiritual education. Spiritual education is missing, particularly for parents who must understand their sacred duty. Society has become egocentric, discarding elders after taking their care. True welfare is happiness, health, and family, not mere money. Greed has no limits, exceeding what the earth can provide. The ancient science of yoga offers a path to this welfare, accessible to all without tools. It encompasses concentration, meditation, and right living. This inner development mirrors the universe, as the primordial sound Om resonates within and throughout creation. "Health is the first wealth." "We need an education for parents, not for children. And automatically, the children will learn." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

A Christmas Message of Compassion and Truth

A new era dawns, requiring compassion and non-violence towards all life. The celebration of spiritual figures is an opportunity to embody higher principles. The common practice of cutting living trees for decoration is a form of violence, akin to killing. The highest commandment is non-harming, which extends to all beings, not just humans. Consuming animal products, including dairy, causes disease and violates this principle. The sustenance provided by vegetation is complete; meat is unnecessary. The pollution of water and reliance on plastic further harm the world. True celebration involves planting trees and protecting life, creating a harmonious world for all beings. "Thou shalt not kill. It does not say, 'You shall not kill people.' Killing is killing; a tree is also a life." "Ahiṃsā paramo dharmaḥ—the highest commandment is in Ahiṃsā." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Morning Satsang with Vishwaguruji

The soul is inherently blissful; suffering arises from mistaken identification with the body and mind. Pain, fear, and worry belong to the physical and mental layers, not the true self. Scientific inquiry cannot capture the soul, yet near-death experiences describe its freedom. Ancestral karma may bind, but the core self remains untouched. Meditation is the primary tool to investigate this. By turning awareness inward, one questions who feels pain. All components—mind, intellect, consciousness—deny being the source. The practice is to concentrate, chant Om, and feel the body as positive energy, recognizing oneself as the Ātma: limitless space beyond all sensation. True harmony is rare, requiring one to stand above dualities through detachment and contentment with what is. This balance extends to all life. "When the soul leaves the body, whatever is outside the body, it is very happy. He has no pain, he has no fear, he is content." "Ātma has no fear. Ātma is freedom and bliss."

Evening Satsang

Life is a celebration in the grace of God. We know nothing about our body, its inner workings, or its creation. We know nothing about the mind, where it resides or how it influences existence. We know nothing about the soul, its form or how it enters and leaves. Yet life is important, and we love our entire existence. All living beings exist on Earth, which is a mother and a universe sustaining all. Among all creatures, a human possesses all abilities and hidden forces, including a powerful intellect that requires discipline and training. Still, one does not know everything. The soul is prepared like a ceremony from the astral planes. It is told it is the light of God, initiated to bring joy and love to all beings. This is the miracle of creation. The soul is rejoiced and accompanied by many energies in a grand celebration as it becomes visible. Life is a festival from beginning to end, celebrated in God's grace. The human task is to embrace all living beings with love. Where there is ignorance and dualism, people quarrel over religion. Let there be only one religion: humanity. This is God's hope. "Life is a celebration. The whole life is a celebration." "Let there be only one religion: humanity." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

Harmony of Body, Mind, and Soul

Harmony of body, mind, and soul is our destiny, yet we lose it. Feelings are changeable. Karma stems from the mind, which acts through the senses present in the body. Our body, like a house built from natural materials, is temporary. Animals in nature heal instinctively, but pets and humans, detached from nature, suffer longer. Modern society and worries destroy our harmony. Yoga, prayer, and knowledge are vital for restoring it. True harmony involves social life, health, and confronting the fear of death and dying. Illness signals our journey's end, yet we cling to possessions. Meditation is the path to liberation from these worries, allowing us to help others without inner suffering. Proper yoga practice is a long, conscious path, not a fleeting effort. Harmony requires knowledge and devotion, purifying negative imprints through mantra, prayer, and forgiveness. Creating harmony among others is difficult but essential for crossing to liberation. It demands consistent practice, not just thought. "Your wealth, your money, is like dirt on the hands. It becomes dirty. Take soap and wash your hands; they become clear again, pure and clean." "Illness is a message for us. It is a sign that now you should pack your travel bags."

Make a clear decision

Inner resolve and disciplined practice manifest our deepest intentions through divine grace. Positive wishes and thoughts will materialize. Negative thoughts may arise but do not prevail. Success requires firm resolve and unwavering discipline, without counting time. This principle applies to spiritual growth, health, and all endeavors. A resolve, once set, must be released to divine will. Through steady practice, what is desired is realized. Yoga is now global, integrated into daily life for nourishment and balance. Authentic practice is not mere physical movement; it harmonizes body, breath, and mind. Correct posture, breath control, and proper relaxation are essential. Impatience undermines progress. True yoga is a spiritual system, not a commercial commodity. Its authentic essence must be preserved and practiced with sincerity. "Positive wishes and positive thoughts will manifest." "Yoga is a part of our nourishment; it is spiritual food." Filming location: Villach, Austria

Yoga is union

Yoga is the ancient science of unifying body, mind, and consciousness. It existed before any religion was named. The goal is union with the divine, realizing the individual soul is part of the Supreme. This understanding has developed through the ages. Many now approach yoga only as physical exercise, but its true purpose is for good health, peace, and achieving the human goal. The practice culminates in meditation, where one finds what is sought. Different religions have divided people, but all must ultimately pass through the same gate. That gate is sacrifice. To serve the community through yoga is a form of this sacrifice. The recent international recognition of yoga helps protect its true meaning from commercialization and misunderstanding. True practice requires humility and spirituality, not ego from position or power. "Yoga means union—union with God." "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice."

Program from Vienna

Sādhanā is the disciplined practice that sustains spiritual development. Exercise makes one a master; daily practice is essential. Without discipline, the thread breaks and is difficult to rejoin. The thread of love must not be severed by small misunderstandings. Life is a divine sign, and love is forgiveness. Intellect is an empty slate; what is written upon it with attention and grace gives it value. Negative writings are harmful. Relationships with nature and others must not be broken, for a broken thread forms a knot, an obstacle. Positive thoughts and feelings are needed to digest and transform all into the positive. When unable to perform personal sādhanā, selfless service, or sevā, is a powerful alternative. However, one who constantly accepts service takes on the helper's karma, making their path harder. True purification and achievement come through sevā and satsaṅg—the holy gathering that leads from darkness to light. In this age, real satsaṅg is rare. It is the boat to cross the ocean of illusion. A spiritual person, like a lake or a fruit tree, shares wisdom selflessly. Through correct sādhanā, humility awakens in consciousness, revealing true wisdom without selfish declaration. The wheel of time always turns; good and bad times alternate. Dedicate time to spiritual practice and community. "Rahiman dhāgā prem kā, mat todo chitkāi. Tūtā phir jūḍe nahīṁ, jūḍe gaṁṭh paḍe jāi."

The Awakening of Spring and the Inner Light

Spring awakens the inner light. Nature opens in spring, urging us to open too. We sought light in winter's darkness. The light we seek is not the sun or stars, but the inner light. Meditative light is physical, yet it points toward the indescribable Ātmajyoti, the soul's light. This light is glimpsed in sleep and dreams, where time and speed differ. To awaken, follow the Guru's words and keep company with sādhus. A sādhu lives simply, from the heart, not the intellect. Simple words carry love and grace. Engage in Satsaṅga where speech is clear for all. Spring's energy brings inner awakening and outward growth, moving through life's stages toward renunciation. All practitioners seek God within and without. Even non-belief is a form of belief. Study the meaning of life. Worldly hungers are never fulfilled; only Self-knowledge brings completeness. Perform selfless action, not laziness. Leave behind good works, not rubbish. Speak and write beautifully, for words engrave on consciousness. Do everything with love for all. Plant trees whose fruit others will enjoy. Inherit the master's spiritual quality. We build and create together, leaving a beautiful vibration as our purpose. "O my mind, repeat the name of Kṛṣṇa, the name of God. Follow the words of the Guru, steadfast in action, and associate with the saints."

Yoga im taglichen Leben

Human festivals cultivate our positive, spiritual nature. The mind contains greed and hatred, but celebrations evoke love and forgiveness. This is our sunny side. Among 8.4 million species, humanity is one. Recognize this each morning. Our human qualities are love, devotion, and tolerance. Develop them through helping others. Positive thinking is foundational spirituality. Health depends on the body and proper nourishment. Cook at home using organic ingredients. Practice yoga mindfully for one to two hours daily. This integrates body, breath, and truthful living. Uphold these principles consistently. "I am a human being." "Helping hands are more valuable than folded hands."

Meditation fur positives Denken

A guided meditation on awareness and breath. Sit comfortably upright and close the eyes. Relax the entire body and withdraw awareness from the outer world. Chant Oṃ to concentrate on sound and become aware of existence. Observe the natural breath, noting the belly's expansion and contraction. Feel the breath flow normally between the navel and throat. Be aware of the body, mind, and thoughts. Secure blessings as positive thoughts for oneself and the entire world. Conclude with deep breaths and chanting Oṃ Śāntiḥ. "Observe the breath between the navel and the throat and relax." "Secure your blessings as positive thoughts throughout the entire world."

Ein Abend

Today is a day of non-violence, a tribute to Mahātmā Gandhi. Two forces exist within the universe and every being: divine and demonic. Humans possess intellect and grace, but require education in being human. Our purpose is custodianship. Non-violence is the highest principle, extending beyond the physical to emotional and intellectual harm. Anger and greed are weaknesses. Modern education lacks spirituality and ethics, replaced by pursuit of wealth. The fault begins with parents; family is the foundation of education. A human awakening starts with the thought "I am a human being," leading to discernment between human and demonic qualities. Non-violence must apply to all living beings and nature. Animals suffer greatly for human consumption; the greatest share of karma falls on the consumer. Women, as mothers, are vital for educating future generations and establishing peace. Multicultural understanding is essential, as there are no true races, only one humanity. Peace is not a destination but the path itself, beginning within one's own heart.

The Path of Steadfast Practice

Success is achieved through steadfast, silent practice and an unwavering goal. A clear mental conception of your aim must be formed, and you must work for it throughout life despite obstacles and doubters. Inner will and strength are key; never give up. Observe the ant that persistently carries its crumb; it teaches perseverance. Spiritual and material goals share the same principle: maintain self-confidence and do not use negative words in your resolve. Practice continuously, as constant effort wears away resistance. Discipline is essential, and you must not lose sight of your objective. Spiritual knowledge is eternal, unlike intellectual knowledge which changes. Participate in Satsaṅga, the company of the truth, for spiritual development. Proceed with patience and certainty, seeing the beauty in all seasons and within yourself. "The yogī said, the ant is my guru, my greatest teacher. She told me: do not give up. Do not give up your goal." "Practice, practice, practice. Karat karat abhyāsa pyāre, jaḍamatī hota sujāna, rasī āvata jāvata śila para paḍata niśāna." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Christmas with Swamiji in Vienna

We celebrate the arrival of Jesus, a festival of peace, love, and unity. The world needs light, both physical and the divine light of wisdom within every being. Since organized religion began, division has followed, unlike the universal, indivisible consciousness of Sanātana Dharma. Human greed creates ownership and mental pollution, which is more dangerous than physical waste. Before a bomb destroys others, it destroys itself; similarly, negative thoughts first harm the one who holds them. We are called not to judge, but to forgive and to hate the sin, not the sinner. Modern celebrations have become materialistic and polluting, especially with single-use plastics, which now seem immortal. The true gift is non-material, offered openly without harmful packaging. Our spiritual duty is selfless service, to pass on immortal wisdom. A true disciple, like Jesus, endures suffering without abandoning principle to deliver a divine message. We must write and share immortal wisdom through devotion and trust. "Forgive them; they do not know what they are doing." "We hate the sin, but not the sinner." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The Lamp of the Soul: A Child's Journey Home

The soul is a divine light on a journey through countless lives toward reunion with its source. It enters a human body by destiny, receiving the rare chance for conscious choice. This human life is an instrument given by God, containing latent powers and five sheaths, with the soul's light within. That inner light is accessed not by intellect but through meditation guided by a living master. The master is the lit candle that ignites the disciple's latent flame. This transmission is the light of pure love, which is the essence of devotion and surrender. Life's stages from childhood onward require nurturing this love through proper upbringing and selfless action. The path demands overcoming bad habits and maintaining consciousness through all difficulties. Success comes from perseverance and grace, leading to true meditation and realization. "The soul is that which comes from God. That means the light of God gives life." "Satgurudeva is the Light. Jyoti is the light. A flame. And we are all candles here. Not yet lit."

Vegetarian cooking lesson 5

Falahārī nutrition uses food in its perfect, natural state. This way of eating brings vitality and health. The diet emphasizes raw fruits, vegetables, and herbs, though simple preparations are shared. Personal adaptation is key; one should feel free without strict rules. The focus is on fresh, whole ingredients and their inherent goodness. Meals are crafted with mindfulness and simplicity. The nourishment is deeply satisfying. "Everything grown in nature is already perfect." "The greatest gift for me is that I became a vegetarian." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Roots of Satsaṅga: From Creation to Company

Satsaṅga is the root of both development and destruction. Saṅgha means company. Sat means truth, the positive, Brahman. The divine thought arises: "I am one; I wish to multiply." The first manifestation is sound, Oṁ. From sound comes light, Śivajyoti, and from light manifests Viṣṇu. Śiva provides the seat for Brahmā. Brahmā searches for his origin and meets disappointment, which is inherent in creation. Within each person resides the Trinity: Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. The Ṛṣis gave humanity mantras and sciences to understand creation. Discipline through austerity leads to knowledge. In Kali Yuga, the support is Bhakti, repeating God's name. True Satsaṅga is rare; it can exist between two people in true friendship. It is the path to clarity. An ashram is a place where one develops physically, mentally, and spiritually to realize the divine within. "Eko’haṁ bahusyāmi—I am one; now I wish to multiply myself." "In this Kali Yuga, we have only one hope, one support: God’s Name, Bhakti." Filming locations: Villach, Carinthia, Austria.

Morning Satsang From Villach

Purity of space and perception cultivates inner peace. A practice space must be orderly and clean to allow stillness to arise naturally. Remove all unnecessary objects, cushions, and excessive incense. The visual environment directly influences the inner state; a clear, reflective floor supports clarity. Personal items belong in storage, not the practice hall. What the eyes see and the feeling with which they see immediately shapes the inner world. Fear is the root of all disturbance, from anger to jealousy. Purity in body, thought, and feeling allows a harmonious energy to radiate. Disturbances are external and internal; inner contentment makes one unshakable like an elephant among barking dogs. Worry is a destructive fire that consumes well-being. Destiny guides all encounters, and trust in the higher power relieves this burden. The curtain of ignorance causes fear; with knowledge, worry dissolves. Yoga in daily life is a gradual, disciplined path, not a quick cure. "Nirmala jala nenhe, nirmala mana chandan, sarīra sugandha." "Satguru rakhe līje, cintā choro mannā."

The Eternal Truth of Sanatan Dharma in Salzburg

The topic is the eternal truth and Mother Earth. The ages, or Yugas, describe humanity's spiritual condition. Satya-Yuga was the age of truth. Dvāpara-Yuga involved attachment to ceremonies and rituals. Tretā-Yuga emphasized knowledge and wisdom. Each required great discipline, for a spoken word creates karma across lifetimes. Kali-Yuga is a negative and dangerous age where spiritual discipline wanes. In this time, the path of devotion, Bhakti, is most accessible. The universe originated from divine sound, which manifested as light and then the elements. Earth was born from the womb of the cosmic waters. Therefore, the Earth is our mother, sustaining all life. We are of the earth and return to it. A mother embodies true love through self-sacrifice and nurture. All living beings possess this same essence. Therefore, causing harm creates heavy karma. Contentment is found in completing one's duties and living purely. Maintain a clean and orderly home to invite positive energy. Fulfill your purpose to die in peace.

Das Geheimnis von OM, Teil 2

OM is the divine name, the primal vibration from which all creation arises. It is the beginning, middle, and end, the trinity in one. Chanting OM purifies the atmosphere, illuminates the inner space, and fills every cell with cosmic energy. The sound arises as a subtle vibration, travels upward, and upon reaching the crown of the head, forms a protective sheath of light. This resonance expands consciousness throughout the universe. OM corresponds to the three states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep, and their corresponding bodies: gross, subtle, and causal. It is the unmanifest seed that divides into the three Guṇas—Rajas, Sattva, Tamas—giving rise to all creation. The enlightened know this secret and abide in bliss. All knowledge and divine seeking come from OM. It awakens inner light, dispels worldly fear, and cleanses karma. Without OM, spiritual practice is fruitless. The Guru embodies OM. "OM is the divine Name. OM is God, is the light, prāṇa, the life." "Those who know the secret of OM are happy."

Das Geheimnis von OM, Teil 1

The secret of Om is the mystery of the primal sound, the origin of all. Om is the origin of the universe, the root of all mantras. Mantras are divine revelations, experienced by sages in deep meditation. The Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad explains Om through the four states of consciousness. The waking state, Vaiśvānara, perceives gross objects. The dream state, Taijasa, experiences subtle inner objects. Deep sleep, Prājña, is an undifferentiated mass of consciousness, a gate back to waking and dreaming. The fourth state, Turīya, is beyond all ordinary experience. It is invisible, imperceptible, indefinable. It is peace, divine bliss, beyond duality. This is the Ātman. The syllable Om corresponds to these states: A, U, M, and the whole Om. To realize this is self-realization. One enters the Ātman with the help of the Ātman. Liberation comes through surrender, not through personal effort. The grace of the guru is essential. Practice leads to devotion, not directly to liberation. "ayam ātmā brahma – this Ātmā is Brahman." "Thus, Om is truly identical with the Ātman. Whoever realizes this, through the help of the Ātman, enters into the Ātman." Filming locations: Vienna, Austria.

A Gathering of Goodness: On Satsaṅg and the Journey Within

Satsaṅg is the company of goodness and the journey toward self-knowledge. Satsaṅg means to be with good society, which inspires us toward spirituality, the main aim of human life. We are individual souls carrying one light of God within, the immortal Ātmā, which is unmoving, everlasting, unbreakable, complete, and everywhere. Life is a journey toward becoming one with the Universal One. Human life is the final milestone; missing it restarts the endless journey. When individual consciousness dives into divine consciousness, past, present, and future immediately become one. Satsaṅg is not only in temples but in walking with a good friend or in self-enquiry. We habitually search for mistakes in others, but we must look within. Our own mind decides if we are losers or winners; direct it positively. Ego is a great destructive energy. The great ones never proclaim their own greatness. As humble as we are, that is our greatness. Render your knowledge and qualities in service. "Satsaṅg is nothing but just to be with good society." "The best satsaṅg is when you do it with yourself. That is called self-enquiry." Filming location: Austria
