The foundation of a child's education is the love, presence, and guidance of the parents. A mother is the first and best teacher, providing foundational instruction. When both parents work, leaving the child in another's care all day, the deep, continuous connection is missing. This can lead to a child feeling unloved and becoming depressed, questioning their place. The solution lies with the mother and father. If a child is distant, a parent must dedicate time daily for teaching and bonding. A compassionate tutor, especially a female teacher for a young boy, can provide parental-like love and emotional support to alleviate depression. Parents work for money, but children instinctively seek their mother. We must keep children close. Without proper guidance, children may be led astray by influences like pocket money, which can lead to harmful experimentation. You cannot force a growing child without causing breakage. A spiritual teacher or yoga guide can help redirect one onto the right path. We are all learning until our last breath. Fill the mind with good thoughts and knowledge before sleep. "Who is my mother? I have a mother at kindergarten and a mother at home." "If you give pocket money, I fear it may lead them astray." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The divine path encompasses human destiny and the nature of existence. All beings are connected to the Supreme. Divine incarnations appear to guide creation. God is present within every element and creature. The human body contains the five elements, animated by divine energy. Life continues through cycles of rebirth. One's actions and consciousness determine the future birth. Destiny operates, as illustrated by ancient stories. Unfulfilled desires, or vāsanā, can pull the consciousness back into worldly life. Spiritual training under a master is the path to transcendence. The relationship with the divine persists regardless of physical distance. The goal is to realize one's true nature beyond these cycles. "God is everywhere. In each and every cell in our body, and in every creature, is God." "Destiny is there, and so many times, your destiny will be, can turn back again." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The essence is oneness, knowledge, and the guru's grace. Separate drops of rain fall, yet they unite to form flowing water, creeks, rivers, and finally the ocean. The drop and the ocean are not different; we are that oneness. Knowledge is endless, and the cosmic Self is realized beyond the temporary body and its elements like anger or jealousy. These are like air in a balloon; when the body bursts, the air—the space of consciousness—remains. Humans possess knowledge and speech to understand this. A story illustrates this: a professor criticized a meditating yogi, denying God. The yogi noted that a small cherry falling from a tree is harmless, whereas a large melon from such height would injure. This shows divine arrangement is good. The guru's grace is paramount, transcending physical distance. The disciple's connection is in the heart, closer than family. One should not ask the guru for things, as asking creates distance; grace is given spontaneously like a mother's milk. "All drops unite to become the water that flows. Not one drop alone; all must come together again." "God has done everything good." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A message of health, harmony, and yogic practice for all. This is a time of global concern regarding health and impurity in the environment. Maintain cleanliness and personal hygiene. The practice of Yoga in Daily Life, including Sarvahitāsana, offers simple exercises for all, performed gently to awaken the body and improve circulation. These subtle movements can be done anywhere to regain and preserve good health. Respect all people and care for the health of family and community. Follow health guidelines and use Ayurvedic preparations like kaḍā for protection. Practice prāṇāyāma alone. Commemorate spiritual teachers and lineages through personal observance at this time. "We should all remain as one, in peace and harmony." "Every day, practice yoga. That’s called yoga, which is Yoga in Daily Life." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Returning to the inner self is the essential work of yoga and the guru. Humans work hard externally—building roads, houses, caring for creatures. This effort is good, but it neglects the inner body. Daily work on the inner self, even one or two hours, is needed. Yoga is the ancient science of the inner self. The sages made it easy and comfortable. Physical exercises differ from yoga; yoga emphasizes breath. In Haṭha Yoga, Trāṭaka is a technique using the eyes without light. The guru is like a pilot, guiding through inner darkness. Just as a pilot flies blindfolded using instruments, the guru leads within. Asking the guru for everything is not good; discernment is needed. The path involves the five sheaths: Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, Vijñānamaya, Ānandamaya. The guru gives meditation techniques. One can sit for five minutes or an hour and feel happy. Upon opening the eyes, a nice light is felt. This is the difference between yoga and other technologies. The prayer recited invokes the inner self and the guru. "What is yoga? Why do people practice yoga? Why do teachers design yoga practices? This is for the inner aspect of the human body, inside and out." "The Guru takes us through our inner Trāṭaka, straight ahead. Our inner guide leads us in that quiet way." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The inner flame of life is the vital energy within, distinct from physical fire. This prāṇic flame is the essence of consciousness through waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Even in blindness, an inner light perceives through vibration and voice. When the body sleeps or tires, this light dims but retreats into the ātmā, never extinguished. The flame can appear to depart at death, yet life may linger as seen in a bird revived. One must care for this flame through practices like trāṭak and Hatha Yoga, feeding it with sustenance. Great yogis remain awake in meditation even as others sleep, navigating states of consciousness. The soul's journey continues beyond the body, like a flame moving far away. "Where the lamp is gone. And where the flame is gone. That has gone into our ātmā." "Others are awakened, and the yogīs are meditating. And others, they are sleeping. And the yogī is awakened."

The divine union of Śiva and Śakti is the fundamental principle of creation. Everything originates from the endless space, containing all five elements. From this emerged Śiva, who then manifested Śakti, the dynamic power. All existence contains both these principles within; the male holds the female energy and the female holds the male. This inner Śakti is our vital prāṇa. Through yoga, born from Śiva's movements, one can raise and unite this energy. If this power is not preserved, it dissipates. The story of Śiva's mala of skulls illustrates the consequence of separation. He guards the remains of those śaktis who were lost due to error and duality. The power must be maintained within, for Śiva and Śakti are ultimately one. "Everything, everything that is on our earth is divided into two principles." "In our body, we have the Śiva. And we have the Śakti in our body too." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The ātmā's journey seeks peace beyond the temporary body. All beings, in any body, search for peace and harmony. We attach to this form, believing it to be permanent, working hard for it and fearing its end. Yet, upon leaving, nothing material accompanies the soul—not house, property, or family. The separation is absolute. Great beings demonstrate rising above bodily pain, understanding the ātmā is distinct. The soul departs swiftly, like a falling star. Ultimately, we are not this body; the true self is a spotless, awakened consciousness within the heart, present in all movable and immovable life. This inner truth is the only reality. "When we go out of the body, nothing. We cannot even touch anything." "Our soul goes like that; it goes out. He doesn't want, my God, how much I was suffering in this body."

The inner light and the practice of trāṭak reveal the soul's journey. The soul enters the body like a seed finding its place, guided by an inner light from the navel. This light is the jīva, the soul itself, present in all creation. Every seed, tree, and creature possesses inner eyes that seek their destined path through concentration. This seeking is trāṭak. The story of a guru saving a devotee at sea illustrates the power of this inner connection. The guru's astral body traveled and returned through the navel center, or nābhi, demonstrating that true sight is inward. All external vision is secondary to this inner light, which connects the individual soul to the universal. "Every seed again gives eyes to the roots." "Trāṭak of the nābhi and Gurujī came." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice of Trāṭaka extends beyond external gaze to the awakening of inner vision. We clean the physical eyes with Triphalā to prepare. Yet true sight is internal. Most practitioners sit for meditation with closed eyes but lack the technique to see inwardly, like a blind person missing a door while distracted. This inner Trāṭaka is not theoretical; it requires a guru's practical guidance on the subtle channels—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumnā—and centers like the trikuṭī. It is a disciplined focus, akin to a pilot flying by instruments or an archer hitting a target by looking at its reflection. The guru's gaze upon the disciple and the disciple's focused gaze upon the teaching are one. Mastery comes from prolonged practice, not mere intellectual knowledge. "Almost all yoga practitioners do inner Trāṭaka without knowing it." "If you can shoot your arrow, then you are perfect in your Trāṭaka." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Trāṭaka is a yogic gazing technique for eye care and subtle awakening. It involves fixing the gaze on a single point like a flame or a black spot. This practice can lead to perceiving inner light, but these sensations are physiological, not spiritual revelations. The eyes are extremely sensitive. While the technique is powerful, it carries risk without proper guidance. One must first consult a qualified eye doctor to understand the condition of their eyes. Medical knowledge is essential. For general eye health, a daily wash with filtered Triphalā water is a safe and beneficial Āyurvedic practice. Simple remedies like cold compresses can relieve tiredness. Always seek a yoga teacher with deep practical experience, not just theoretical knowledge. Balance respect for yogic tradition with modern medical care. "If the eyes are gone, it is said life is gone." "First speak with a good eye doctor." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is a complete spiritual path beyond physical exercise. We must remain vigilant and protective during this pandemic, praying for all beings. Yoga's true essence is found in ancient teachings and sāttvic living, not merely in postures. India is a sacred land of incarnations, yet every country is holy, as all earth is one Mother. We must transcend divisions, see the one God in all traditions, and live with love and forgiveness. The current times demand inner spiritual work, not external ritual. True yoga leads to the soul, confronting mortality and ethical living, like the sacredness of the body and organ donation. Become a yogī who gives and embodies this wholeness. "Yoga is not only āsanas and prāṇāyāmas. Yes, this is gymnastics." "Therefore, yoga leads to everyone. First, to health, and not only physical. Not only mental, but spiritualities in the soul."

The tradition of prayer and reverence sustains all life. We live by the grace of saints, prayers, and sacred places. This practice comes from the divine and is universal, expressed in greetings like "Namaste." Prayer is essential, whether directed toward a form or the formless. Respect begins with mother and father, extends to elders and teachers, and culminates in reverence for the spiritual guide. This sequence is the first step toward the Cosmic Self. All creatures seek to give and receive; this exchange is yoga. Life is fleeting, so we must act, purify ourselves, and practice diligently. Yoga in daily life means consistent practice, which brings health, happiness, and longevity. "Both are good, but while we are in this world, we need all these objects." "Guru is Brahmā, Guru is Viṣṇu, Guru is Deva Maheśvara, and Guru is everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Our journey is a spiritual ascent and return toward the Cosmic Self. Life is a journey from the womb toward the Supreme. We accumulate experiences as we grow. Reaching a peak is like a Himalayan summit, a point of clarity before the descent back down. This cycle mirrors life: we learn to stand, then in age, we return downward. The body and elements are temporary; only the soul continues. God, who is singular and pervasive like the sky, provides our time and space. The ultimate destination is merging with the ocean of Brahman, becoming the endless Cosmic Self. Therefore, consistent practice is essential. Yoga is the paramount path for this union, and it is inherent in all life. Animals instinctively perform their own yoga through movement and cleansing. Humans learn postures from observing animals, proving yoga is for all creatures. Our daily work and exercises are also forms of yoga. The goal is for all expanded existence to melt back into oneness, like elements in a volcano. Through disciplined practice and techniques like Agnisāra, we progress. "One in all and all in one." "Yoga is for all creatures." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Haṭha Yoga is the purification of body, mind, and soul. This purification permeates the entire human being. Every creature has its own connection to God. A purified yogī attracts animals and birds, as described in ancient songs. This practice also represents cosmic principles. There are two kinds of Haṭha Yoga: one is the inner purification, and the other is the external conflict seen in fighting. The elements and deities are all part of this understanding. The goal is to give up force and join in union. The impermanent self is like a candle flame, but the true light within is Brahman. The living guru embodies the divine principle for guidance. "Haṭha Yoga is the purification of our body, mind, and ātmā." "Give up that kind of forceful striving. And this light is not our physical light." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is the universal path connecting the individual to the cosmic Self through Śiva. Haṭha Yoga is a primary means to reach this state, placing practitioners under Śiva's protection. The mantra "Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya" purifies the entire being; even the shortened "Śiv" aligns with the heartbeat, embedding the divine within. Specific temples house unique Śiva liṅgams, sources of great blessing. Consecrating a dwelling through ceremony is essential to invite positive energy and avoid negative influences. The story of Viṣṇu offering lotus flowers illustrates complete devotion, where the sacrifice of one's own eye fulfills the practice. True vision, Kamalnayan, arises from inner purity cultivated through sādhanā. This purification is the essence of the path. "Śiva is in each and every cell of our body; He is everywhere." "Where there is purity inside, then it is beautiful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Haṭha Yoga is not merely physical practice; it is the subtle union of Iḍā and Piṅgalā. Many misunderstand yoga, insisting on postures and breath control alone. Authentic yoga demands six to eight years of practice for true knowledge and teaching capacity. Distance learning remains incomplete; practical experience requires the living presence of the guru, just as a baby needs the mother’s breast. Books give intellectual knowledge, not realization. The word haṭha also means stubbornness—“I will, I will not”—and must be abandoned. The bhajan instructs: give up obstinacy and walk with the master. Trāṭak, the sixth practice, develops concentration by gazing at a black circle on white paper; closing the eyes reveals white light. Do not stare at people, animals, or the sun directly without advanced guidance. The guru is the navigator; directions must be followed. Seek training in gradual stages, from beginner to advanced. Without physical proximity to the teacher, the destination remains distant. Practical experience alone nourishes the soul. “Haṭha choḍmanā cala saṅga mere.” “Trāṭak is very important. Do not concentrate directly on the sun.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Trāṭak is the practice of gazing on a single point. It is a foundational technique within Haṭha Yoga for developing concentration and vision. Correct practice strengthens the eyes, but error can cause harm, so guidance from a thoroughly trained teacher is essential. One method is to gaze at the toes with legs stretched, focusing between both big toes until they merge into one point. Another is to sit straight, extend one arm, and focus on the thumb held at the correct distance from the chest to keep the eyeballs relaxed. This practice has two forms: with open eyes and with closed eyes. True mastery requires years under a living master's guidance, not short courses. Advanced practice can lead to perception of inner light and deeper spiritual channels. It is a powerful tool, as demonstrated by stories of sages who could see across great distances and by its potential to influence conditions like bedwetting through concentrated focus. "Gazing on one point to know how our eyesight is." "Practice this yoga, yoga karmasukauśalam. That is very important." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Haṭha Yoga is a discipline of immediate action and purification. It connects one with inner determination and the effort to achieve well-being. The practice begins now, not later, to overcome laziness. Its core techniques cleanse the body: netī, dhautī, bastī, naulī, and kapālabhāti. Kapālabhāti specifically purifies the head region through forceful exhalation. This practice must be approached gradually and under guidance, especially if health conditions exist. It brings a pleasant sensation and regulates the heartbeat. Haṭha Yoga is distinct from āsana practice; it prepares the body for health. All yoga techniques are valuable, but daily practice is essential, just as daily nourishment is required. Currently, avoid forceful prāṇāyāma like kapālabhāti in group settings due to health precautions. "‘Ata’ means just now—not tomorrow, not in an hour, but immediately." "Kapālabhāti is a very powerful prāṇāyāma technique. That is why it is called Haṭha Yoga—because we must do it with some power." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice of Śaṅkha Prakṣālana cleanses the digestive system. This technique uses warm salt water and specific postures. The process must be guided by a knowledgeable teacher. Begin on an empty morning stomach after fasting from sunset. Drink a quarter liter of warm salt water. Then perform a sequence of five postures including Tāḍāsana and twisting motions. Repeat this cycle of drinking and moving. The water will pass through and cleanse the intestines. Afterwards, rinse the mouth and nostrils with unsalted water. Then rest deeply for at least forty-five minutes. A strict diet must follow the practice. The first meal must be kicharī made from rice, mung dāl, ghee, salt, and turmeric. Avoid meat, alcohol, raw food, and tobacco for the prescribed period. This practice should not be done in extreme weather. Refer to the book for complete instructions and photographs. "Śaṅkha means the conch shell, and Prakṣālana means cleaning or washing." "If you cannot follow the diet, then please do not do it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Haṭha Yoga is a supreme path requiring correct practice. The techniques of nauli and basti are essential for purifying the digestive system. A proper diet is foundational: eat vegetarian meals every five to six hours, leaving space in the stomach, and fast overnight. This physical purification supports the higher goal where the conscious self masters the body, not the reverse. True practice transcends mere physical techniques or brief study; it demands lifelong guidance from a genuine master. Theoretical knowledge alone is insufficient, like holding a speck of dust compared to the mountain of practical wisdom. The aim is complete independence, where one desires nothing, not even from the divine. "Leave space for solid food, liquid food, and what we call liquid—also water. Give the stomach some empty space." "If you want to give me something, then I wish you would just go away from here." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The global family of yoga practices Sarvahitāsana for universal benefit. Practitioners worldwide integrate sattvic food and spirituality into daily life. During this time, families are together at home, sharing education and peace. Sarvahitāsana is a beneficial, adaptable practice for all, regardless of age or ability. One can sit on a chair, sofa, or floor. The body is the temple, and the soul within is the living God. Care for the body through pure nourishment and Hatha Yoga techniques ensures health and a long life. Practices like jala dhauti and sūtra dhauti cleanse the stomach and intestines. Hatha in yoga is not negative force but dedicated practice. "God is our ātmā, our soul in our body." "Our body is our temple, and God is our ātmā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A global crisis reveals our shared humanity and calls for immediate, compassionate action. A pandemic has caused widespread suffering. Governments and individuals are striving to respond. This is a time for practical help, not hesitation. Meditation and prayer are valuable, but tangible support for neighbors, the elderly, and children is the greatest necessity. Distinctions of religion, nationality, or wealth must be abandoned for a spirit of oneness. The elderly are our roots and deserve the same care we give to children. Action cannot be postponed. True spirituality is expressed through selfless service to all beings, recognizing the divine unity in everyone. "Meditation is good, prayer is great, but what is needed just now? That we can help—that is the biggest and greatest." "We should not say this God or that God or this religion. No. We should give equally to everyone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga practice cultivates health and spiritual progress. Practitioners experience harmony, peace, and happiness. A sattvic lifestyle without meat, alcohol, or drugs is essential. For meditation, a kuśa grass mat is recommended to properly channel energy and dispel negativity. True yoga is a gradual spiritual education, not merely physical exercise. The feeling for mantra arises naturally from sustained practice. The mind is powerful and restless, leading the soul after death, so one must not depend on it. A true mantra is received from a guru after sincere preparation and discipleship, leading to inner knowledge. Spiritual progress requires finding a genuine teacher, not just studying books. "While practicing yoga in life, this is what we call sarvahitāsana; it gives harmony in the body, peace in our mind, and happiness in our heart." "Man, mind, our man, man is the most powerful.

The soul's journey is from confinement to freedom. Our true Self is a droplet of the cosmic ocean, the jīva in all life. This essence cannot be killed; it merely changes form, like water becoming vapor and rain. The human body is a cage for this soul. We suffer within it, yet upon death, the soul departs with great speed. Only humans possess the capacity and responsibility for higher understanding. Do not misuse this gift to harm others. Life's purpose extends beyond basic animal functions. Follow the path of non-violence and goodness. The consequences for causing suffering are severe and lasting. All religious traditions point to this truth. Ultimately, everything returns to its source, as rivers flow to the sea. "The soul itself cannot say yes or no. It is like a bird in a nest; in the morning, it flies out." "God said, 'My child, I gave you all capacity, but I will not give you the completeness to kill anybody... If you do, you will suffer.'"

The science of yoga is one, though its techniques are many. The supreme truth is singular: there is only Brahman, without a second. The Guru lineage is that one, continuous truth, like a single seed producing consistent fruit across ages. Do not seek many teachers; a single authentic path is essential. Our human body contains five sheaths, from the physical to the blissful. The mind is powerful and does not die, while the body perishes. Longing must be directed toward goodness and the Supreme. Yoga practice begins with caring for the physical body. Techniques like Haṭha Yoga include cleansing practices such as Jala Neti and Sutra Neti. These clean the nasal passages. Kapāla Bhāti involves forceful exhalation to purify. These methods require proper instruction from a qualified teacher. Proceed step by step on this singular path. "eko brahma dvitīya nāsti—there is only one Brahman; a second does not exist." "Man mara na mamatā marīṁ... marmar gaya sarir—the mind will not die, attachment will not die... the body will die."

The human form is a divine gift, yet we misuse it through ignorance and conflict. Spiritual practice is the key to harmony. True knowledge is held by humble sages, not those who proclaim their own greatness. The cosmos is consciousness, structured through five distinct layers or kośas. Yoga is the union of the human with the divine, the skill in all action. Modern technology offers one key, but the eternal science is that of spirituality. The ego, or "haṭ," must be surrendered to attain purity. Haṭha Yoga begins with internal purification through specific cleansing techniques like netī, preparing the body and mind for higher devotion. Physical practice is essential; mere intellectual understanding is insufficient. All paths ultimately lead to devotion, bhakti, which purifies every aspect of one's being. "Yoga is skill in action." "O mind, give up your haṭ." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The foundation of practice is purification and awareness. One must know the proper place for things and act with appropriateness. Common sense is not always taught, so we must learn. We sit and chant without knowing the meaning. Please listen and respect others; be aware of how your actions affect those around you. Good and bad are both within us. We cannot remove darkness by asking it to leave; we must light a candle. Similarly, we must awaken the inner light of knowledge to dispel ignorance. This is our sādhanā. Purification of the body is essential for practice. Fasting is a key method; by not eating for a day, the body digests everything and many diseases are cleansed. This is done for health, though often in the name of spirituality. The first purification concerns nourishment and water. Drink clean water, perhaps boiled and settled. Be mindful of what you eat, avoiding excess. The air we breathe is polluted. Prāṇāyāma is for cleansing the nadis, the energy channels, of this dust. Practice nāḍī śodhana: inhale left, exhale right; inhale right, exhale left. Do this carefully, as incorrect practice can cause harm. Proceed slowly and with concentration. "Good is within us, and bad is also within us." "We cannot take off the darkness. But if we light a candle, automatically the darkness goes away." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The tree of life stands as a constant shelter for all beings. A great tree endures all seasons, offering shade and refuge. Countless creatures live within its roots, climb its trunk, and nest in its branches. It provides leaves, flowers, and fruits, giving its body as food and oil. Even when stones are thrown or its wood is burned for warmth, the mother tree endures and gives. A story tells of an old, proud tree felled by an axe with a wooden handle, showing how one's own substance can be turned to destruction. Yet the tree's essence is eternal; a fallen leaf carries the seed for new life. The tree declares its eternal presence, a protector in whose lap all existence rests.

Yoga in Daily Life has spread across many countries, and the Sarva Hit Āsana practice offers a path for all. Yoga in Daily Life reaches places even where no teacher has been, like China, with centers and printed books. A special exercise program, Sarva Hit Āsana, meaning 'all good for all,' was created in Czechoslovakia. This program adapts yoga for everyone, even those who cannot do standard exercises. The practice is maintained two hours daily. In India, many are now adopting this program. Chair and sofa practices exist for very elderly or frail individuals. Even a hundred-year-old person can follow the chair-adapted exercises. Foot exercises and lying down with a log are part of this great medicine. The practice serves as one of the best medicines for health. One devotee on a sand-covered hill performed beautiful prostrations there. Jealousy causes loss; those who jump out of the barricade into the ocean will soon face a shark. Therefore, give good things to people. All practitioners are a single light in the dark night, the light of divinity. Negative things should be brought forward to be solved. All are filled with the divine, connected to Bhagavān and the holy masters. "Sarva means ‘all’ and Hitta means ‘good for all’. And that is āsana. It is very great." "You all are a light—dark night, and this one flame is there, and we all can walk." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The divine principle is immanent within the natural order and our own being. The sun is a constant divine presence, essential for life; without its balance with the moon, earthly stability would fail. This cosmic balance mirrors the delicate equilibrium within our own bodies, where each organ is vital. To deny the divine nature of these elements is a form of blindness. The divine is not a separate, distant figure but is present in all things—the sun, moon, earth, and within ourselves. Argument over the form or name of God is futile and leads only to spiritual disease. Realization comes from understanding this inherent divinity in everything, returning fully to the sacred earth that supports all life without judgment. All names point to the same one reality. "Within two days, if the sun does not rise, we will be finished. And if we are not balancing this moon, then everything will fall down." "Therefore, let all go as they are going, but those who have the realization, they understand again, come completely down to the earth." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A pilgrimage is a journey of the heart to purify oneself at a holy place. I have been here for three months, observing the great atmosphere and disciplined bhaktas. We welcome you to this beautiful day at our āśram. Many came from various countries, all respectful and healthy. Our programs and satsaṅgs were successful, with space for hundreds while maintaining distance. I feel great devotion and recall our pilgrimage to the Himalayas. We traveled with hearts full of longing to step on India's holy soil, to see the Gaṅgā, which is more than a river—it is a mother. We journeyed to Badrinath and toward Alakpurījī's cave, where the terrain was harsh but the bhaktas' feeling was pure love and unity, beyond comfort or facility. The essence is bhakti—devotion is all one needs, not material wealth. We ask our Gurudev to be with us as we make our prayer. "One who goes to the holy place... they are going from the heart, and they are making their heart pure." "Dear Gurudev, give me only devotion... Money is nothing, money goes out of the hands, it will come again, but in the heart... I need the bhakti." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Satsaṅga is the association with truth and the gathering of the virtuous. 'Sat' means truth, God, purity, and the divine place. 'Kuśaṅga' is negative association, marked by anger and fear. Satsaṅga is to be with all in oneness, creating peace and harmony. It is like birds from different directions gathering at one tree in the evening. Diverse individuals come together in kindness, beyond country or religion. Life in an ashram exemplifies this unity through shared work, meditation, and care. The cook, like a mother, provides for all without judgment. Observing a flock of sheep reveals harmony, as mothers and young reunite in peace. A fruit tree offers its bounty to all, its branches lowering to give. A family spanning generations represents the five sheaths of being, living in joyful unity. Without Satsaṅga, there is Kuśaṅga, leading to negativity and separation. Prayer and bhajan sung together forge this oneness. "Satsaṅg is the way to the cosmic self." "One in all and all in one."

States of consciousness reveal our inner and outer life. Waking activity is for the outer world, using all energy from sunrise to sunset. In sleep, we are within ourselves, aware of the inner self filled with divine feeling. This sleep is not nothing; it is a vital awareness given by God. Deep sleep is being one hundred percent aware of the self, comfortable and peaceful. The dream state contains things within ourselves, both good and bad. A constant alertness exists between these states. Therefore, sleeping is very important. A higher level is Yoga Nidrā, a sleep of consciousness toward the Supreme, practiced by yogis. "In sleeping, we were within ourselves. Our whole being is with us, filled with very, very divine feelings." "What this sleep means is that we are 100% aware of our self, and so it is very comfortable, relaxed, and peaceful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Satsaṅg and a sacred morning routine create a divine atmosphere for spiritual life. The environment of an ashram provides peace, which is the result of true satsaṅg. In genuine satsaṅg, there should not be excessive singing or instrumental music, as this creates business and distracts from the teaching. A single saint can provide satsaṅg for all, just as the sun's light dispels darkness. The purest atmosphere is one hour before sunrise. Upon waking, one should cleanse the body with water, which brings purification and awakening. Sleep is crucial for restoring the body and mind, like repairing a machine, but it must be natural and not induced by substances. The first hours of the morning, used for personal practice and offering respect to family and the divine, constitute your own life and spiritual foundation. The rest of the day's work is for others. A Guru exists in a divine state beyond ordinary sleep, demonstrating perfect spiritual awareness and guidance for the disciple. "Peace and bliss are the result of satsaṅg."

Spirituality is the essence of joy and oneness. It arises from the harmonious union of fundamental principles within nature. The earth provides a maternal foundation, while a paternal energy of light and life animates existence. This union represents the divine source. True spirituality manifests as purity, humbleness, kindness, and peace. Its absence is marked by conflict and suffering, as seen in fractured relationships. We often seek joy externally, yet authentic spiritual joy is found only within. It is the inner state cultivated through harmonious understanding. "Spirituality: purity and humbleness, kindness, peace, understanding, oneness." "Spirituality is what we call the joy. Joy is only within ourselves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The resonance of Aum is the fundamental vibration of all existence, connecting Earth, the lokas, and Brahmā loka. Consciousness has no desire, while the inert world cannot act. All apparent forms arise from the one resonance of Akāra, Ukāra, and Makāra. The seeker must follow the inner self, as everything external is temporary and leads to separation. Worldly life, or saṃsāra, possesses no lasting essence and is the source of suffering through attachment. The individual soul, like a drop of water, is separated from the ocean of oneness and journeys through various states, longing for reunion. Liberation involves recognizing this transient nature and turning inward toward the eternal. "Ekobrahman duttye nasti. That Brahman is only one." "In oneness, there is no separation."

Dharma is the supreme authority, a universal law that administers justice beyond any human power. A king proclaims he alone is exempt from punishment, but the Guru arrives to correct this. The Guru declares that even a king, as a human, is subject to the daṇḍa, the stick representing divine punishment. This daṇḍa is dharma itself. Where dharma is present, no punishment befalls you; where it is absent, the daṇḍa comes. This principle is echoed in other traditions where a spiritual staff signifies authority and accountability. Holding the daṇḍa means one cannot do wrong, or it will fall upon one's own head. Stories illustrate that true power and protection reside in adherence to dharma and truth, not in temporal position. The authority of dharma must be recognized above all. "You are a king, but you are a human being. You cannot say you will not be punished." "Where there is dharma, no one can punish, and for one who is not good, punishment will come." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The gesture of Namaste connects the heart to the cosmic Self. The hands are folded at the chest with thumbs placed correctly, and the gaze ascends from the fingers to the sacred images. This signifies the connection from the individual heart to the divine. The two hands represent the self and the other coming together as one in unity. The bow is an act of reverence from this unified heart. It is a recognition of the divine in oneself, in the other, and in God. The gesture ultimately dissolves separation. "The two hands are like one is you and one is me, and so we sit together. We are one, and then we bow down." "We bow down to thyself, my friend. To you, to you, to me, my friend, and to God."

The divine lineage is eternal, manifesting across all ages. From the Satya Yuga through to the present, this sacred tradition continues. Great saints perpetually appear, representing a twofold divine expression: one is the singular incarnation of God for an era, and the other is the everlasting succession of saintly Gurus. This is not about a single individual; there are many Gurus, just as there are many parents. All are manifestations of the one divine reality. Your parents are your gods, yet we respect all elders as such. The soul is one, though forms differ. Other traditions are good, yet they often speak of a God from the past, not a living, ever-present God. Without a living God, it is like a child whose mother has died; where does one find that direct love? We must transcend duality, for God is everywhere. "One is as God, what we call, appearing once in that time... the second is called the saint, known as the Guru Bhagat... there is another who is forever coming." "Other religions are also very good, but they have no God—not a living God. Once they have a God, and that’s all." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The divine presence is perceived in all creation, and every creature possesses innate wisdom. Humans are not superior; ants sense rain and move their eggs, birds change plumage, and all life anticipates natural cycles. Water is life and divinity, a fundamental element. Spiritual growth begins with reverence for the mother and father, whose love is like a tree yielding sweet fruit from bitter parts. Within that fruit is a seed containing the soul, the divine essence. The human form is like an inverted tree; the soul resides within. Persistent spiritual practice, like a root seeking water, will expand and break through obstacles. One must choose between upliftment and decline. Action is essential; hoarding spiritual instruction bears no fruit, while planting and nurturing it creates abundance. "Where there is water, there is God. And where there is God, there is water." "Give the advice to that one who is good to learn, not like a monkey." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The body is limited, yet consciousness exists beyond it. Within are many layers of existence, like clouds or worlds beyond the sun. The elements dissolve at death; one does not simply return. The same single soul exists in all beings, from an elephant to an ant. This inner self is like a horizon, receding as one approaches. The divine principle is within all, progressing from the individual soul to the universal witness. All movable and immovable things contain this same essence. "Ocean, big rivers, or one pond, or one tiny, tiny drop, it is all the same." "All five elements are gone. Earth in the earth, water in the water. Air in the air, fire in the fire, and space in the space." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga practice aligns body and breath before chanting the Sadguru Chalīsā and a bhajan. Invocation: Om Namaḥ Śrī Prabhudīpa Nārāyaṇam. The teacher directs sitting straight, shoulders raised, palms on knees. Inhale through nostrils, exhale through mouth, chin to chest. Vajrāsana is established. Bārikatu Pranām is led with counting. Hands go behind, head hangs, buttocks lift for Ustrāsana. Forward bends follow, interlocked fingers raised above head between knees. Breathing is regulated, no interval between inhale and exhale. Hands clasp behind back, bend forward, then release forward, forehead down. These postures mirror nature. Seated again, chanting begins: Oṁ Namoḥ Śrī Guru Dev Jī, Savakā Sarjanhār. The meaning: you are God of Gods, the doer, without your grace the ocean of existence cannot be crossed. Verses extol repetition of the name and liberation. A bhajan follows: Om Namo Gurudeva Dayāla, extolling the guru’s protection of drowning beings. The gathering closes with Jai to the divine and Hari Om. “Without your blessing, there is no crossing of the ocean of existence.” “Om Namo Gurudeva Dayāla, bhakta jano ke ho prati pāla.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Honor the lineage of ancestors and gurus, for they guide our path. We become ancestors for the future. Remember them daily. Their guidance ensures we proceed smoothly on our journey. We are connected through this constant lineage. Perform ceremonies and maintain respect for both family and spiritual ancestors. This remembrance is for our own benefit, fostering a clear path. Liberation comes at the final moment, but we must remain vigilant on our path until then. "Guiding is the best word. And we ourselves are becoming ancestors for the future paramparā." "When we do our sādhanā and prayers, if we pass by someone's grave, or your parents' grave, just for one second, offer your humility and remember them." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Satguru Chalīsā is a sacred text for meditation and crossing worldly existence. We worship the all-pervasive creator, the supreme incarnation. Without this grace, no one crosses the ocean of worldly life. All sages meditate upon this presence. Spiritual knowledge is given to the heart, resulting in fearlessness and the end of problems. Reading or listening to the Chalīsā brings concentration, ends the fear of birth and death, and grants prosperity and fulfillment. Life becomes perfect and suffering departs. The verses describe the merciful protector who uplifts all beings. Those who gain this vision are supremely fortunate and their wishes succeed. The guru is eternal and unequaled. Approaching the guru cleanses eons of misdeeds. The blessing itself is everything. "Without Your mercy, no one can cross the ocean of worldly existence." "Those who will have a darśan of you, Gurudev, they will be the greatest, and they will all the time have concentration and feeling for God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The true Guru embodies supreme humility and constant remembrance of God. A genuine Guru is simple, accessible, and serves all without drama, unlike those who remain distant. The greatest quality is to feel one with all hearts, not to seek prominence. The Guru's life is a seamless thread of devotion, connecting all devotees like beads on a mala. Negative thoughts or backbiting break this unifying thread, scattering the community. True service means selflessly helping others, even those who may harm you, as it is one's nature to save. Spiritual practice requires total surrender, offering everything to the divine. "Even when he was sleeping, he kept a mālā with him, his fingers resting upon it." "The nature of this Scorpio is to stick, and my feelings and my life are to save someone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The grace of the guru is received through devotion and remembrance. The name Holy Gurujī originated from a devotee's greeting. He was a learned professor and composed the Satguru Chalīsā, forty verses of praise, during a stay in Nepal. Hearing this Chalīsā brings profound joy. The guru wrote it while sitting by a river, imparting spiritual training. He had asked a young boy to stay with him at the ashram, arranging his schooling. The verses glorify the supreme guru, describing him as the inner dweller and creator. Listening to this Chalīsā removes all obstacles and grants prosperity and bliss. "Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Gurudev Jī... Par Brahma Kartār." "Satguru Chalīsā kān sune... riddhi siddhi sukh pai." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Gratitude is expressed for the practice and teachings received. The Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna reveals inner tensions, linking body and mind. True understanding comes from consistent practice with guidance. The nature of samādhi is explored, distinguishing between the death of the body and the passing of the soul. The body is a temporary vessel; the essence remains within us. Stories illustrate the profound commitment of advanced practitioners who consciously enter samādhi, demonstrating the soul's power beyond physical form. "Through Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, one learns what tension is and how to release it. My experience is that restlessness of the body means restlessness of the mind." "Passed away is different... they were with us, but now she is within us. That's the difference." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

All creatures remember the divine in their own time, from birds at dawn to animals at dusk. Humans, however, often forget this remembrance amidst distraction. We claim disbelief yet instinctively call for help in crisis, revealing a latent faith. True confidence in the divine or in one's own mind is lacking. We speak of changing our mind but cannot change our body, showing the mind's elusive power. Past generations gathered for prayer and meals, but now life is scattered, with technology and haste replacing sacred routines. While some maintain faith, many have lost the practice, and communal reverence has faded. Do not wait for others or fear judgment; have confidence and walk the spiritual path together. "Japat paśu arpakṣī pyāre." Japat means meditation. Animals and flying creatures wake and sing their prayer. "Man marana mamatā marī, mar mar gayā śarīra. Āśā tṛṣṇā nahīṃ gayī." The mind and desires do not die; the body dies again and again. Hope and thirst do not leave. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
