The Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra represents the place of the self where awareness and entanglement begin. A cakra is difficult to describe, like an indescribable taste. The Guru is the principle leading from darkness to light, a savior from eternal suffering, though often seen merely as a teacher. The devotion felt is beyond words. Feelings do not originate from the spine or brain, but from how objects are perceived; these impressions then manifest and store in the body. The world is a net of illusion created by God, binding all beings through karma and attachment. This illusion, or Māyā, is like a mirage: it appears real but is nothing, an unattainable horizon. The body itself is this illusion. Humanity is caught between seeing reality and unreality, hindered by pride and intellect. Concepts like awakened Kuṇḍalinī or opened cakras are often mere consolation, not verifiable wisdom. The mind creates all states and atmospheres. When the state runs wild, uncontrolled by the mind, danger arises. We suffer from the question of whether things are or are not. To consciously use the body as a tool without identifying with it is key. Svādhiṣṭhāna, meaning "one's own place," is where frozen existence melts into the flow of feelings and stored karmic impressions. We are trapped in a net of our own creation, like a spider in its web, fighting over illusory possessions. A parable tells of two brothers who find treasure; consumed by greed and the illusion of possession, they poison and shoot each other, thus killed by the devil of their own attachment. This Moha, or delusion, confuses the mind. We are fish caught in this net; cutting its threads requires a wisdom we do not possess. Upon awakening to consciousness, one sees the entangling web. "Gu means darkness and Ru means light. The Guru is the consciousness, the principle—the one who leads us from darkness to light." "Mo Māyā kā jāl Prabhu nirachāyā. 'Jāl' means net. A net means one cannot escape."

Satsang is a gathering in truth, combining wisdom and song. Truth manifests as speech and chant. These chants are teachings or praises, passed from master to disciple. Their repetition is a spiritual practice, a mantra. Truth means the divine principle, Brahman. The individual self faces two paths: realization or destruction. The divergence point is the company one keeps. Good company leads toward God; bad company leads to doubt and fear. This company can be with people, animals, or any presence that awakens love. Without divine love and devotion, life is barren, like a leafless tree or a lifeless body. Love is God; to love God is Bhakti-Yoga. This love purifies and awakens one's inner energy. Seek a spiritual object for your love, like the universal sun, which belongs to all and disappoints none. True devotion is surrender, becoming a channel for divine love. Give love, and more will flow through you. "Satya means truth and Saṅg means togetherness. So it is a gathering in which the truth is spoken." "Bhakti-Yoga means to love God... The second form of divine love, in the aspect where one has spiritual faith."

Offer yourself daily as an instrument for divine love. Begin each morning by surrendering a specific inner quality. Renounce doubt, declaring you will never live in it. The next day, relinquish jealousy. On the third day, abandon all hatred. On the fourth, forsake greed and longing. Proceed daily, letting go of one quality after another. This is the practice of becoming a conduit. Like the bamboo in the garden, one must be willing to be cut and hollowed out so the divine breath may flow through as a flute, softening hardened hearts. The mantra is: "I am not the doer. O Lord, make me an instrument of Your love." Dedicate your life completely; otherwise, it is wasted. Yoga in daily life means realizing this offering. Establish discipline, like regular fasting, which is foundational for a student. These ancient principles transcend culture and religion, guiding one past obstacles toward reunion. A day comes for everyone when they see time was wasted. Do not postpone; begin now. "O Lord, take my body, mind, soul, and consciousness and let them be an instrument, your instrument, through which your love and truth shall flow." "I am not the doer. I am not the doer. O Lord, only You are the Doer."

In this Kali Yuga, satsaṅg is rare, and many great gurus are passing away. Successors are hard to find due to materialism’s influence. A sadhu possesses equal vision and lives simply, always an aspirant. The great never proclaim their greatness; a diamond does not speak its value. Humble branches bend with fruit; the cactus keeps its fruit high with thorns. Humility leads to greatness; pride causes loss. Quality is needed, not quantity. Saṅgmitrā renounced her beauty with acid so people would follow Buddha’s teaching, not her face. Such dedication is necessary to bring the divine message. Christmas reminds of Jesus’ hard path and love for all creatures. The original message was non-violence; animals were part of the peaceful scene. A wish is expressed that saints come again, perhaps from among those present. Without true love in the heart, one cannot become that, whether in worldly life or renunciation. Satsaṅg is rare; bad company is abundant. Fortunate are those seeking satsaṅg; unfortunate those seeking kusaṅga. May spiritual energy grow and steps be taken towards self-realization. “Bade baḍā na kare, baḍā na bole bol, Rahīmana hīrā kaba kahe lākha hamārā mola.” “Sāc binā sudhare nahī̃ ādam raso anīk, cāhī tum grast meṁ raho, cāhī peṇo bhīk.” Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The goal of human life is to know our true nature, which may require many lifetimes. Attention must be paid to body, mind, and soul, including a healthy lifestyle and care during illness. A large humanitarian project in India encompasses a school, water supply, fire brigade, and a shelter for cows. A new hospital aims to address high child mortality and a severe lack of doctors in the region, providing basic care, specialized treatments, and health education. It operates through donations, medical camps, and an emergency service. All living beings possess prāṇa, the life force that binds the five elements. The individual soul is bound by karma, but through pure intellect, one may realize enlightenment, which is knowledge. All consciousness is ultimately one. Universal love must extend to all living beings, not only humans. Love means compassion, understanding, and forgiveness, which purify our dense prāṇa. Meditation filters negative thoughts, allowing devotion to awaken in the heart. Health requires a balanced life, and yoga integrated into daily practice supports well-being, though all must eventually leave the body. "Helping hands are more valuable than folded hands." "Love all living beings, if nothing else, then at least as much as you love yourself." Filming locations: Salzburg, Salzburg, Austria.

Ancient wisdom offers a path to health and divine union for the modern world. Yoga is an ancient science for body, mind, and soul, aiming for union with divine consciousness. It begins with deep relaxation, followed by physical postures practiced with conscious breath and full concentration. This systematic practice develops health on physical, mental, social, and spiritual levels. True human qualities are expressed through love, forgiveness, and understanding, recognizing the divine in all. Meditation is the gateway to the inner self and God, while prayer is a direct dialogue. The core realization is that the true Self, the Ātman, is immortal and one with universal consciousness, beyond the perishable body. This understanding dispels fear and guides one to live rightly. "The union of the individual with the divine Self is Yoga." "Praying is the main thing for human beings. Praying brings happiness." Filming location: Linz, Austria

Yoga is a balance leading to a harmonious life, a unity of body, mind, and soul. Modern life is attached to materialism, losing the direction of love. True love begins with loving oneself, which is not ego but understanding one's purpose. The system of Yoga in Daily Life is systematic and comprehensive. The primary practice is relaxation, achievable only through renunciation. Breath is life itself, from first inhalation to last exhalation; conscious, slow breathing cultivates prāṇa and longevity. Practice should be slow and mindful, leaving one relaxed and energized, not exhausted. This system offers practices for all stages of life and specific problems, provided one understands the correct application. "Breath is life; life is breath." "Practicing quickly and practicing very slowly is the difference." Filming location: Austria

Yoga is a practical system for health and self-help, accessible in daily life. I began over twenty-five years ago, seeking movement, relaxation, and meaning. Authentic teaching came through a system called Yoga in Daily Life, which integrates philosophy and practice for the West. My professional background in physiotherapy allowed me to contribute to a specific program, "Yoga Against Back Pain," which evolved into this book. The spine is central to our existence, and pain has many causes. Yoga addresses this through slow movement coordinated with breath and concentration, strengthening and relaxing the back. Practice does not require a mat or much time; exercises can be done seated or in brief moments, like at a desk or on a plane. The goal is to help oneself and others. This book is a tool for that, suitable as a gift for anyone. "Helping hands are more valuable than folded hands." "Yoga is something: help yourself." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Life is a spiritual dance, and yoga is the cosmic dance of union. The soul wanders eternally through countless births. A human birth is a rare opportunity for self-realization through intellect and compassion. This path involves yoga practices, meditation, and love for all living beings. The journey is a continuous, gradual development of consciousness. Practice with patience brings results. Maintain balance through focused concentration. Handle all elements, like water, with reverence, as they are alive and responsive to our thoughts. "To be a human being, on one hand, is the most beautiful thing; on the other hand, it is somewhat difficult. To fulfill the duty, the task that a person has brought with them." "Water is life. That is what life means. That means it lives. And therefore, every thought of ours, every movement, every action, whatever we do with water, water makes a choice."

Life is a festival of happiness determined by our own perception. Being present in this hall of past meditation is a rare fortune born of good karma, overcoming life's many obstacles. Today is doubly auspicious, marking both Diwali and a sacred incarnation day from an ancient lineage. All festivals, including Christmas with its tree, share a root in Vedic culture and the cyclical rhythms of nature, like winter's arrival. First comes nourishment, then spiritual practice. Those gathered are blessed, and all others join in happiness through meditation and prayer today. "Life is a festival; life is happiness. It is only a matter of how we think." "All festivals are related to Vedic culture, Vedic dharma." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Peace is the essential work for all on this International Day of Peace. The natural world inherently possesses a state of peace that humanity must learn to embody. A tree of peace grows as a symbol for this global aspiration. The prayer extends to the entire world—its environment, climate, and all living beings. The ultimate hope is for people to live together in harmony and divine blessing. This is pursued through sacred chant and collective silent intention. The practice directs positive energy and love toward universal welfare and freedom from suffering. "May all be happy. May all be free from illness. May all see goodness. May none partake of sorrow." "Lead us to immortality with steadfastness. May the welfare of all be protected." Filming locations: Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.

Yoga is the science of uniting body, mind, and soul. Space and consciousness are infinite. Energy called Yoga connects them. A cosmic sound, Oṁ, initiates creation. Five elements compose our planet and bodies. These elements are held by prāṇa, life force. The soul recycles through 8.4 million species. Human birth offers a door to liberation. Self-realization is the purpose of human life. We are not the body, thoughts, or feelings. Long life requires wholesome food, movement, and harmony. Yoga provides exercises for health and meditation. Cakras are energy centers holding past impressions. The Svādhiṣṭhāna stores experiences from conception. Forgiveness and positive thoughts can heal past pain. The Ājñā Cakra marks the start of true spiritual development. Mastering the mind’s movements leads to divine completeness. “Nādarūpa Parabrahma — Sound is the highest Self. And the world is the sound.” “Helping hands have more value than folded hands.” Filming location: Krems, Austria

A peaceful night and the daily routine are opportunities for spiritual awareness and unity with the divine. Deep sleep is a state of unity beyond all worldly identities. Before sleep, offer the day's actions to God, seeking forgiveness and protection. Upon awakening, express gratitude for this protection during the state of ignorance. Greet the earth with awareness of its burden. Recognize water as the sacred element of life. The daily shower is an imitation of the sacred ablution, connecting us to nature. All elements are manifestations of the divine through which God works. Nourishment is a gift from the divine Mother. One should offer food to God before eating, transforming it into sacred sustenance. The kitchen is your pharmacy; true health comes from fresh, whole foods prepared with love and discipline. Grind spices freshly to preserve their life force and aroma. This practice supports physical health and emotional calm. Conduct, contemplation, and positive thinking are essential. Humbleness and focusing on the essential lead to realization. How one speaks and behaves towards others is fundamental; politeness opens hearts. Live simply and be content. "In deep sleep, you know nothing of being a millionaire or a beggar. In deep sleep, you know nothing of whether you are sick or healthy." "Your kitchen is your pharmacy. Ayurveda is in your hand. What you buy and how you cook, with love and organic whole foods and herbs, all fresh—that is Ayurveda." Filming location: Villach, Austria

Peace is found within, and meditation is its path. Without peace, life is torment, like a plant without water. We often lack peace because we lack patience and are dissatisfied. A story illustrates this: a yogi asked the sage Nārada to ask Lord Viṣṇu when he would attain liberation. The answer was that he had as many lives ahead as leaves on the tree under which he meditated. Upon hearing this, the yogi danced with joy, understanding the necessity of patience. Spiritual experiences can cause fear, but one must remain calm and not become attached to them. True peace requires trust and the dissolution of fear and doubt. "There is no way to peace; peace is the way." "Where there is patience, there are signs of peace." Filming locations: Villach, Carinthia, Austria.

Inner peace and meditation require freedom from fear, anger, dissatisfaction, jealousy, and selfishness, anchored in trust and a goal. You cannot meditate with these disturbances. Helping others brings happiness and dispels fear. Remember every selfless act toward all beings. Do not judge those who beg; their circumstances are unknown. Love flows freely without conditions. Lakṣmī moves constantly; trying to hold her creates blockages. Give without attachment; given wealth no longer belongs to you—it purifies your own karma. Contentment is the highest prosperity; when it arises, all material riches become like dust. Peace is eternal, yet restlessness entered through possessiveness. A harmonious family protects and nurtures; discord arises from lost love and knowledge. The primal sound Oṃ carries peace, refreshing the soul in a foul atmosphere of greed and anger. Your true treasure lies within—knowledge, love, devotion. Robbers like ignorance, envy, and anger steal this treasure if you are careless. Know thyself and lead your children on the spiritual path. Reflect on past mistakes and renounce what harms. You come alone and go alone; the whole world is your family. Meditate on Oṃ Śānti to feel that peace. “We hate sin, but not the sinner.” “Pāyo jī maine Rāma ratana dhana pāyo. Day by day it increases, I have found the jewel of Rāma’s treasure.” Filming location: Villach, Austria

The path to inner peace is found through yoga, meditation, and self-knowledge. Yoga is a science of body, mind, and soul, a system for harmony and bliss originating from divine consciousness. All universal knowledge, including modern scientific discoveries, is pre-contained within the ancient Vedas. The universe contains two opposing energies: divine and demonic. The entire cosmos, including all planetary influences, exists within the human body. Therefore, the journey to peace is an inward journey of self-discovery. One must understand the body's energy centers and the nature of the Self. The highest Self is formless, infinite, and omnipresent. All cyclical ages exist within our inner Self. Suffering stems from ignorance, which arises from fear and a lack of self-confidence. To know oneself is to recognize one's inherent state of perfect peace. Meditation is the path to this realization. When inner peace is attained, consciousness becomes anchored to all living beings. Worldly attachments and dualities then fall away. Peace is an internal state of unity, without fear or expectation; it cannot be acquired externally. The first step is mastering the body through stable posture and purification. A still body leads to a still mind, just as still water in a glass allows clear perception. The mind's restlessness, fueled by negative emotions, obscures the inner peace that is always present. Breath control is essential for cleansing the body and calming the mind for meditation. True meditation requires complete inner relaxation and purification, free from mental modifications. Peace cultivated within then radiates outward, influencing one's environment and relationships. "Everything that exists in the entire universe exists within the human body." "Peace is within. It does not come from outside. We cannot buy peace." Filming locations: Carinthia, Austria.

The soul remains unaffected by bodily conditions, and devotion like that of Sūrdās reveals the truth of divine love. The body is a collection of impurities—vikāra. Illness, decay, and mortality are its nature. Yet the soul, the Ātman, is ever-pure, never disabled or sick. The blind saint Sūrdās exemplifies this. Deprived of physical sight, his devotion drew Lord Kṛṣṇa to him. Sūrdās sang with longing and pain of separation, viraha. Kṛṣṇa sat before him, and Sūrdās knew His presence through inner vision. Devotion brings realization; love is the true path. God sees all with equal vision—samadarśī. Pāras, the touchstone, does not discriminate; it transforms iron into gold regardless of quality. Likewise, divine grace overlooks faults. The devotee prays: “Lord, do not hold my mistakes in Your mind.” Forgiveness and grace dwell in the human heart. In Kali Yuga, the name of God is the only support. Bhajans and repetition of the divine name purify consciousness. Ultimately, the soul is untouched by bodily vikāra, shining eternally. “Mana taḍapata Hari darśana ko āja.” “Prabhujī merī avaguṇa citta na dharo.” Filming location: Hamburg, Germany

The Ājñā Chakra is the seat of inner light and the union of consciousness and energy. Located between the eyebrows, it commands the senses and mind. Sandalwood tilak on the forehead activates this center, bringing clarity and calm. The tilak, a symbol of the third eye, balances emotion and intellect. This chakra's two petals represent Śiva and Śakti merging into one. When it opens, negative thoughts dissolve and only positive thoughts remain. The mind is a wild monkey or powerful elephant; controlling it is essential. The senses are like horses, and through Ājñā one gives them direction, achieving peace. All prāṇas flow through all nāḍīs; Suṣumnā is the main channel for consciousness, not only Kuṇḍalinī. Forward bends and Agnisāra Kriyā benefit this chakra by increasing blood flow and relaxing the eyes. Bandhas and Mudrās require caution, respecting individual health. A yoga teacher serves truth with integrity, not merely certification. Honest earning and tax payment align with yogic principles; karma is inescapable. Faith need not be abandoned; all religions are rivers flowing to the same ocean. True faith embraces all paths with tolerance, respect, and love. The Ājñā Chakra is the gateway to realizing supreme consciousness within and beyond. "Religions are like a beautiful garden with various flowers of different colors, fragrances, and shapes." "Every thought is an injection; negative thoughts destroy you." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany

The Ājñā Cakra is the seat of discernment and the inner master. It is located at the top of the spine, the third eye, the eye of wisdom. Ājñā means command, and only one who knows can give command. This is the seat of the master; parents, teachers, and spiritual masters all guide, but the true inner master awakens here. The philosopher’s stone turns iron into gold, yet a master transforms disciples into masters. Transformation fails if the stone is false or contact is incomplete—likewise, if master or disciple holds back. At the Ājñā Cakra, Śiva and Śakti unite, consciousness and nature. A yogi bathes daily in the confluence of Gaṅgā, Yamunā, and Sarasvatī—love, wisdom, and consciousness—corresponding to Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā nāḍīs. This meditation reveals mistakes and grants forgiveness. The cakra is a matchstick; ego’s wind can extinguish its flame. Reading The Hidden Powers Within Humans opens the inner Self. Avoid thinking oneself indispensable; harmony arises when ego dissolves. True devotees long for spiritual gathering, where hearts fill with trust. Guard the candle of awareness; darkness is ignorance. The Ājñā Cakra brings clarity and unity. "A master, however, makes his disciples into masters." "It is better to light a candle than to stand in the darkness." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany

The Ājñā Cakra is the door of command between human and divine consciousness. Understanding the Self is the goal of life. The individual soul is a bundle of karma, carrying cycles of happiness and unhappiness. The Ātmā, or universal Self, is one and identical with God. Advaita Vedānta teaches non-duality; all is one. Reality is not what is seen with the eyes. The world of duality is māyā, created and destroyed, while the Ātmā remains as limitless space. Kuṇḍalinī is the divine Śakti, the power within. Chakras are energy centers; their function, influenced by emotions, determines health and consciousness. The Ājñā Cakra is the filter for intellect and the seat of true knowledge and command. Past experiences are stored in the subconscious. Practice is essential for self-realization. "What you can see is not reality, and what you can’t see is the reality." "Ājñā means to command. The person who has achieved the Ājñā Chakra can give an order to himself." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany

A tree symbolizes our return to living in harmony with nature. We have become separate from the natural world. Seeing people embrace natural ways is heartening. Planting a tree is like giving birth to a child; it stays with you always. May this tree stand as a symbol of everlasting peace among all peoples. May those who come under it find harmony of body, mind, and soul. May they realize eternal peace. "Planting one tree is like giving birth to a child." "I wish that this tree stands here as a symbol of everlasting peace." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Meditation is the path to self-realization. Yoga is an ancient science of body, mind, and consciousness. The mortal body contains the immortal soul, which accumulates karma through actions. Beyond the individual soul is the Ātma, the universal Self. Ātma is eternal, unborn, and free from all karma. The goal of human life is to realize this Ātma and transcend the cycle of rebirth. Meditation is the means to this end. It is a mental tonic that reduces stress and cultivates inner peace. True meditation is not a forced practice but a natural state of relaxed awareness. It involves turning inward to ask, "Who am I?" The practice clears energetic blockages and unites individual consciousness with the divine. Helping others is more valuable than self-absorbed meditation. One should meditate without worldly desires, simply seeking to be an instrument of peace. "Ātma is the highest truth. Ātma is the highest Self or God, as one calls it or wishes to say. As Ātma, we are all one." "Meditation is a path to oneself, meaning, who am I?... I am not this body, not these thoughts, not these feelings, not this soul." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Yoga Nidra is a state of conscious sleep, a deep relaxation with full awareness. Prepare by finding a comfortable position to remain motionless. Begin by forming a Śaṅkalpa, a positive resolve for yourself and others, repeating it three times. Relax the body completely through a detailed scan from the toes to the crown of the head. Bring awareness to the breath, feeling the prāṇa flow in the abdomen, chest, and throat. Listen to the inner sound of the breath, so'ham. Conclude by reaffirming your Śaṅkalpa three times, then gradually return awareness to the body and the surroundings. "Try to remain motionless throughout the entire practice, not moving, while at the same time staying awake and not falling asleep." "Relax completely, but remain fully aware, conscious of the energy flow." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Health is central, and modern life challenges it. Yoga in Daily Life is a systematic practice for awakening inner forces. Physical exercises, or āsanas, are not gymnastics but a conscious realization of one's entire existence—feelings, breath, and state—to find a center of self-confidence. Every movement must be clear and felt, with breath observed as the directing life force, prāṇa, which activates energy in every cell. This practice awakens dormant forces, bringing light, relaxation, and strength, serving as a therapy for chronic fatigue. All movement should be fully conscious, without competition or challenge, which arise from ego. Self-awareness in practice leads to awareness of one's own development and the power of meditation. This system is a cosmic dance, where being blissful, free, and healthy allows the soul to radiate harmony. Practice a few āsanas with complete attention, not neglecting daily discipline. Through conscious movement and breath, energy awakens in the glandular systems and main chakras, harmonizing the key channels Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā, which positively influence the entire body. Spirituality means purity in food, life, thoughts, and actions. Negative thoughts are self-poisoning, while thoughts of love and forgiveness bring illumination. The choice is one's own responsibility to realize in this life. "Every movement should be fully conscious and accompanied by the breath. There are no challenges." "Negative thoughts are self-poisoning. Thoughts filled with love, understanding, and forgiveness are an illumination." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The perfection of the divine source and the purification of the throat chakra are our themes. The mantra teaches that the Supreme is perfect, and what emanates from it remains perfect. We are that perfect essence. Creation is the one becoming many, yet nothing is diminished. The Viśuddhi chakra relates to this purification. Ancient beings churned the ocean for nectar, producing both treasures and deadly poison. Lord Śiva drank and neutralized this poison in his throat, turning it blue. We similarly swallow life's poisons—harsh words and pains—often focusing on the negative. A story illustrates this: a king received a fruit of immortality. He gave it to his queen, who gave it to a stable hand, who gave it to a courtesan, who returned it to the king. The fruit's circular journey revealed misplaced attachments. The king, realizing the folly of worldly bonds, renounced his throne. The wise neutralize poison through knowledge and non-reaction, not through retaliation. The purified throat chakra represents infinite space and acceptance. We must filter negative emotions, embrace others with love, and become instruments of peace. Our consciousness is infinite; we must act from that wisdom. "Perfection, God, is perfect. What comes from the Perfect is also perfect." "And so, Viśuddhi, Viśuddhi contributes to this purification."

Satsang is the rare human gateway to liberation, a state even celestial beings long for. Among countless life forms, the human birth alone holds this potential. There is one religion: humanity, and one God, defined by divine qualities that admit no compromise. Beings known as Devas reach higher planes through merit and practice but remain bound to heaven's pleasures, never free from desire, and thus cannot attain Mokṣa. Liberation is possible only through the Guru's grace. The Guru is not a person but the very form of knowledge, the supreme Brahman beyond all duality. This grace is the sole root of liberation, which even the creator, preserver, and destroyer deities cannot bestow. Therefore, cherish Satsang, for it is the earthly heaven that leads to the Self. "Dhyāna-mūlam guru-mūrtiḥ — The root of meditation is the form of the Guru. Mokṣa is possible only through the grace of Gurudeva." "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara. Guru Sākṣhāt Paraṁ Brahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany

The body, the food sheath, is our primary concern. Without a healthy body, nothing is present. Health allows energy to flow, elevating consciousness toward cosmic consciousness, termed Nirvāṇa. Yet, even after this realization, one returns to work. The body is a vehicle; health is attained, not bought. Life is destiny. We are like leaves on the tree of life, carried by the wind of destiny. Our duty, our Dharma, is to act according to our responsibility. Protect your Dharma, and it will protect you. There is individual, human, and universal Dharma. Karma is action; Dharma is duty; destiny is the result. A healthy body and mind are essential. The five prāṇas must flow freely for health. Yoga is one, a blessing from Śiva, though taught through various systems. The core truth is to hold firmly to meditation, prayer, or the name of God; all else is transient. Specific postures like Halāsana, Matsyāsana, and Sarvāṅgāsana affect the glands and energy. Practice must be correct and individual, guided by a knowledgeable teacher. "Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health." "The leaf has fallen from the branch. The wind has blown it away... When will we come together again?"

The soul journeys through five sheaths towards its origin. The first sheath is the physical body, composed of food. Grain is sacred and life. The soul travels through the elements—fire, air, and water—before entering matter, such as a seed, to take birth. The second sheath is the energy body, the vital force. The third is the mental sheath. A pure mind, achieved through meditation and mantra, becomes a guiding light. The fourth sheath is the sheath of wisdom. The fifth is the sheath of bliss, which is temporary until one realizes the permanent bliss of the Self. The soul's goal is to return to its origin. Human karma is intentional and carries strong consequences; the greatest sin is harming life. Non-violence is the highest principle. Time and the human life are precious diamonds. Spiritual radiance is eternal. Obstacles to clarity are impurity, disturbances, and the veil of ignorance. Love is the soul's nature and the universe's greatest power. Practices like wearing a Rudrākṣa bead and Prāṇāyāma purify the throat center, harmonizing energy and dreams. "Every soul has a goal: to return to the origin." "Love is invisible, but love is like a fragrance. And love is so strong, no bullet can penetrate it." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany

A city's declaration of peace and a community's symbolic act converge. Vienna was declared a city of peace, obligating its council to uphold this principle in local politics. Separately, a yoga community plants a tree as a symbol of peace's gift and challenge. A Catholic priest blesses the tree, conveying wishes from an absent pastor, and affirms the location's suitability for this peace tree. "the city council of Vienna acknowledges the moral and political obligation to embrace the people’s longing for peace" "It should point to the gift and the challenge of peace."

Yoga is one union, the cosmic principle of balance and harmony uniting individual consciousness with the universal. It is the original force holding space and consciousness together, existing since the beginning of time. This singular truth manifests as the divine light within all beings. The human journey is an endless cycle through experiences, seeking reunion with this origin. The goal of human life is to realize this union, achieving health, contentment, and liberation. Practical systems like Haṭha, Karma, Bhakti, Rāja, and Jñāna Yoga are paths to integrate this principle into daily existence. True practice means living with positive speech, compassion, and self-discipline in every action. "Yoga means union, oneness, balance, and harmony between body, mind, and soul, or the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness." "The goal of human life is not only to have children, eat, drink, and sleep, but we also have higher goals." Filming locations: Munich, Bavaria, Germany

The supreme Self is reality; the world is unreality. All beings arise from the five elements. The divine essence dwells within the body as breath. The individual self is part of God; there is no difference. Duality persists only while the body exists. After the body ends, the self reunites with the Supreme. Karma, our own free action, determines our future. We must not blame others; our life's outcome is in our own hands. Self-realization is the goal, requiring long effort and purification of negative qualities. As long as these qualities exist, one remains an individual being. Liberation comes through human birth, good deeds, devotion, and the Guru's grace. Perform selfless service. When consciousness becomes pure, the Master's glance can bring instantaneous union. Good deeds always bear good fruit. Only the Self is eternal. "Whether the bird is alive or dead depends—it also depends on your hand. It is in your hands, your life."

Yoga is a universal science for harmony of body, mind, and soul, extending beyond personal health to encompass all living beings and the planet. The ancient Vedic principle yathā brahmāṇḍe tathā piṇḍe teaches that the macrocosm and microcosm are interconnected; what affects the individual affects the whole universe, and cosmic events affect us. Therefore, spiritual practice must consider the collective, not just the self. Seeking only personal peace is a selfish act. True spirituality combines Sādhana—personal practices like meditation and mantra—with Sevā, selfless service. This dual path purifies negative karma, reduces the ego, and cultivates universal, divine love that sees no boundaries. A story illustrates this: Pārvatī sacrificed a thousand years of her spiritual practice to save a boy from a crocodile, which was actually Śiva testing her compassion.

The soul and karma are inseparable. Karma is all action—thinking, speaking, doing. Every cause has an effect, and every action returns to the doer. The entire universe is activity, or Kriyā. The soul, or Jīvātmā, is the individual living force born from divine consciousness. This consciousness, like a still lake, generates the primal sound when stirred. This sound manifests the elements and forms the subtle body. The soul carries its accumulated karma from life to life, seeking new forms based on its actions. Good karma eases liberation; bad karma creates difficulty and pain. Realization of the true Self, Ātman, unties these karmic knots. One must be humble and not claim divine status, for such identification is ignorance. Cultivate positive actions and thoughts, for every step is counted. "Karma means action, cause, action and effect." "The body dies, but the soul lives. The soul seeks a new vessel." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The effect of karma on the soul is explained through the knowledge of a Trikāladarśī Master, who sees past, present, and future. A realized being transcends the three worlds. A story illustrates this: a cobra approached Mahāprabhujī. He blessed it with mantras and water, liberating its soul. Mahāprabhujī explained the soul was a former devotee who spoke ill of his master, thus taking a lower birth. The snake endured heavy karma until seeking liberation. Another story tells of an arrogant tax collector. After death, he was reborn as a camel burdened with stones. A saint told the camel the stones were the weight of its past karma against the poor. Our deeds burden the soul across lifetimes. Human life offers the chance to resolve karma through devotion, service, and right action. Awaken and use this opportunity. "Mahāprabhujī said, 'The soul in this cobra was a great bhakta... he spoke ill of his Master... That brings the soul back into a lower body.'" "Śāgraṁdās spoke to the camel: 'These stones that have been placed on your back are not stones; they are the remnants of your karma, my dear.'" Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Yoga is the universal path for human health, happiness, and spiritual realization. It is the most ancient practice, predating all religions. Yoga's techniques—such as prayer, meditation, and universal love—form the foundation for a positive life and are found within all faiths. The goal is self-realization, merging individual consciousness with the cosmic. Actions, or karma, are a matter of free will, but their results constitute a fixed destiny. Desire is the root of trouble and illness. True spirituality involves tolerance, respect, understanding, trust, and harmony. All religions aim for one God, and the ultimate identity is humanity itself. Work should be selfless, helping others without condition, and living with love while consciously renouncing attachments. "Yoga removes all the negative energy, and yoga makes a human a better person." "Karma is in your hands, meaning you can do what you want; it’s your decision. But the result or the fruits of your karma, of your actions, are not in your hands." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Our actions shape karma and affect the soul, which is the same in all living beings. We can help souls through love and tradition. A child finds happiness in parental presence, not possessions. Animals respond to gentle care with joy. Betraying trust by harming a being after showing love collapses this bond and creates heavy negative karma. Guiding children with religious rituals on holy festivals builds their hope and connection to the divine. Family unity, with grandparents and relatives gathering, provides the greatest healing for a child's soul. Traditional wedding ceremonies, witnessed by sacred fire, establish lifelong commitments. When a family member dies, prayers and ceremonies like the Pitṛ ritual help liberate their soul. This duty is universal; cultures worldwide honor ancestors, whose blessings return to us. Modern disruption of family and nature through greed creates global suffering. Our answer is spiritual development, vegetarian living, and prayer, which can positively influence other souls. "Life is life. The soul is the same; yet, it is said the soul is in an animal body, and we humans can help—yes, we can do much." "If you break your word before the fire, the fire will burn you, it will punish you. A human word is significant." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The soul and karma are fundamentally intertwined. Karma is action, encompassing all doing, thinking, and speaking. Every action has a cause and creates an effect, which returns as a reaction to the actor. This cycle accounts for all steps, thoughts, and deeds. The universe itself is activity, or Kriyā. The individual soul, or Jīvātmā, is a manifestation of the supreme consciousness, born from primordial sound and wrapped in the elements. This soul carries its accumulated karma from life to life, migrating into forms according to its deeds. Human birth is a precious opportunity. Pain and fear are manifestations of negative karma. Liberation comes from self-realization, untangling the knots of karma through good actions and meditation, allowing the soul to dissolve back into the universal Ātman.

Yoga is a universal science for harmony of body, mind, and soul, extending beyond personal health to encompass all living beings and the planet. The ancient Vedic principle yathā brahmāṇḍe tathā piṇḍe teaches that the macrocosm and microcosm are interconnected; what affects the individual affects the whole universe, and cosmic events affect us. Therefore, spiritual practice must consider the collective, not just the self. Seeking only personal peace is a selfish act. True spirituality combines Sādhana—personal practices like meditation and mantra—with Sevā, selfless service. This dual path purifies negative karma, reduces the ego, and cultivates universal, divine love that sees no boundaries. A story illustrates this: Pārvatī sacrificed a thousand years of her spiritual practice to save a boy from a crocodile, which was actually Śiva testing her compassion. This demonstrates that ultimate spiritual growth comes from selfless love and action for others, not from isolated asceticism.

The right teacher and correct technique are essential for safe spiritual practice. Many become teachers after brief seminars, creating personal fantasies that harm students' psyches and health. This leads to depression and accidents. Proper guidance prevents this. Steady, gradual practice is crucial, like learning to drive: start in first gear, then progress. Do not skip steps or experiment, as this causes suffering. Techniques vary by culture, but the essence is universal, like a horse called by different names. For health, specific diets like the Phalahārī and simple routines with boiled water aid purification and weight loss. When old issues surface, meet them positively with wisdom to filter and release them. "Therefore, it is very important that we have the right person, the right master, and the right technique." "Remain firmly determined and do not experiment in any way; that is not good. Those who have conducted the experiments suffer greatly." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany

Life's purpose is fulfilled through its completion. Different mantras influence all life, learned through language, especially your mother tongue, which can become a language of love. Nothing is too late; begin from where you are. Doing one thing properly masters everything, while trying to do everything loses everything. Adhere to your practices and seek your family's patron deity, discovering it anew if unknown, to establish a new foundation. This ensures the safety, beauty, and success of your human mission. A mantra is not mere repetition; let your life itself be the worship. "By doing one thing properly, everything can be mastered. If you try to do everything at once, you will lose everything." "My life, your worship—my life is a ceremony to Thee, O Lord." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Every deed and thought is accounted for, returning to the individual according to its quality. Good and bad karmas both bind, though good brings positive effects. A liberated being still performs actions through the body, which functions continuously like a table gathering dust. Negative thoughts or speech about others draw their karmic qualities to you. Speaking well of negative people draws their good qualities to you. The loss of spiritual focus creates a gap, often caused by negative association or turning away from sacred guidance. All spiritual life is bhajan. Concentration must be maintained until samadhi, a state beyond the mind. "O my mind, you have lost everything with Kushangī." "Your entire life has passed without the Hari nāma." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Self-knowledge begins with knowing the body. This practice is for daily life, not occasional exercise. The higher aim is Self-realization, but we must first realize the body, as daily complications show we do not understand it. Haṭha Yoga is great and can lead to Self-realization. We have difficulties due to bodily impurities, so we begin immediately with the six cleansing actions: Netī, Dhautī, Bastī, Naulī, Trāṭaka, and Kapālabhātī. This is to feel clean and pure, but one should not be fanatical. One should perform Śaṅkha Prakṣālana every third month, Netī daily, and Dhautī weekly, along with Prāṇāyāma and other practices. Thus, Haṭha Yoga instructs inner purification. "To know thyself means first to know thy body." "Haṭha Yoga can lead you to Self-realization." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
