The Upaniṣads contain the ultimate knowledge, Vedānta. The term means to sit near the Master, signifying the disciple's reverent mental settling to destroy ignorance. Brahman is the highest Self, pure being beyond qualities. The Kena Upaniṣad asks, "By whom?" It teaches that Brahman is the power behind all faculties, which the senses cannot perceive. A story illustrates this: after a victory, the gods Agni and Vāyu failed tasks set by a mysterious Yakṣa. The goddess Umā then revealed the Yakṣa was Brahman. The victory belonged to that power, not the gods. The lessons are that a Guru is essential for knowledge and that one is not the true doer. "It is that by which the eye sees, but which itself cannot be seen by the eye." "I am not the doer; only God is the doer." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Beyond body and mind lies true liberation. Physical techniques are important but will not take you further. The body is like a car; at the destination you leave it. Within the body is something that wants to go to the highest. Body and mind have no lasting sense. The body finishes suddenly, and the mind has no connection. You cannot control the mind. The body brings liberation; liberation and the highest are the same. The path goes through the five sheaths: food, vital force, mind, wisdom, bliss. Only body exercises and wanting a good mind are not enough. Dependence on the mind makes you lost. Go through the sheaths to reach yogic knowledge. Then real power comes. Without a body, nothing can be done. Keep the body healthy. Do not torture it with too much food and drink. Wrong nutrition brings disease. “Body and mind have no sense in it.” “If you depend on your mind, then it will make you lost.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Monday is Śiva's day, a key time for fasting and discipline. Our lives are governed by the sun, moon, and stars. The moon is Śiva. Monday begins our week. Different cultures have made different days holy or free, often losing the original discipline. We have lost the strict traditions of fasting found in other faiths. Fasting is not merely for spirituality but to give the body a complete rest. True discipline means consuming nothing—no food or water. We should adopt this for our health. Eating less gives more energy; eating too much makes us lazy. Practice this discipline slowly. Commit to fasting on Monday for Kriyā practitioners. Follow the rules of your practice precisely. "Fasting is not only for spirituality or God, but we should give the body one day completely free. That is very important." "When you fast... If you want to really keep the fast like Muslims, then do not drink or eat anything—no ice cream, no chocolate, and also no water." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Guru incarnates in Kali Yuga to purify disciples’ egos and remove karmic impurities. Kali Yuga is a time of collective negative karma, and disciples carry these qualities. The Guru endures physical pollution and interacts with unripe disciples. The Guru’s duty is to attack the ego, like a surgeon removing diseased tissue. This attack exposes hidden negative qualities, called avaguṇas. Methods include sleep deprivation to bring reactions to the surface. Disciples often project their problems onto the Guru instead of recognizing the purification. Traditional discipleship demanded long seva and humility before initiation. A seeker could not find a being lower than himself; only then was he deemed ripe. A former king served twelve years, and only after a second test of humility was he initiated. Now, Gurus adapt by initiating sooner due to spiritual weakness. After initiation, the purification process continues through daily interaction. Personal spiritual experiences build unshakable knowing, securing against confusion. All sādhanā aims at humility and unconditional surrender. Liberation comes only through the Guru’s mercy, not self-effort. One disciple received a samādhi experience simply through an open heart and grace. "Just as a medical doctor performs surgery to remove diseased tissue, in the same way, the Guru performs an operation on the disciple to remove the ego." "Mokṣa comes only through the mercy of the Guru." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Karma Yoga is the primary spiritual path of selfless service, leading to purification and divine connection. Voluntary service to alleviate suffering, such as feeding the hungry, is foundational. The highest form is Gurusevā, serving the guru's mission to dispel the root ignorance causing all suffering. This practice purifies the inner being and takes precedence over other spiritual routines. Through dedicated work, one encounters personal limitations and receives the grace to transcend them, enabling superhuman effort. The master orchestrates this service, and full immersion in it brings self-knowledge and direct experiences of the divine. It is a complete path accessible to all, where every effort counts toward spiritual progress. "Uproot them completely; you are not pulling weeds, you are uprooting your karmas." "If you have missed the opportunity of Gurusevā, then you have missed something. Because Gurusevā is the highest thing people can do in their lives." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yajña is an eternal fiery ritual of sacrifice that maintains harmony with cosmic forces. The universe itself arose from a primordial sacrifice, and the world is sustained by it. This ritual restores balance among the five elements—earth, water, air, space, and fire—which compose our bodies and the cosmos. The external ceremony creates a harmonizing microcosm. The internal dimension is equally vital: Agni, the divine fire, manifests within us as digestive fire, breath, intelligence, mind, emotions, and speech. Performing Yajña requires precise mantras, pure offerings like ghee, and a clear intention, or Saṅkalpa. The ritual is a mutual exchange; offerings transformed by Agni and mantras sustain the deities, who govern natural and psychic forces. The highest purpose is selfless action, leading to liberation. Every aspect of life, from eating to meditation, can become an inner Yajña when offered with devotion. "Yajña supports the entire world. Yajña protects people from sin." "If a person works without expecting reward, selflessly, without attachment, that too is Yajña."

The path is the realization of oneness beyond all religious distinctions. We live in a world of duality, yet the ultimate truth is non-dual. Different religions appear on the surface, with unique rituals and histories, but their outer forms often obscure a shared inner essence. This essence is the search for the one God within, through meditation, mantra, and the guidance of a realized master. When the original essence is lost, religion becomes empty ritual or dogmatic conflict. The true path is not a religion itself, but the esoteric core found within each tradition. It requires a master to reveal this inner meaning, transforming external practices into inner realization. Thus, one need not abandon their faith but discover its deepest truth. "Yoga is not a religion. Yoga is also not part of any religion. But yoga is the essence of every religion." "The kingdom of God knows no distinction of caste, race, or religion. To me, you are one of God’s children." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Satsanga uplifts spiritual energy, while kusanga brings it down. Satsanga unites and leads to oneness; kusanga divides and leads to duality. The shelter of the Guru is entered at mantra initiation, a moment of mutual commitment. The Guru promises to guide until the aim is reached; the disciple promises to follow. If that promise becomes invalid, one feels no longer a disciple. This causes a disturbance in bhajana, meaning all spiritual practice, especially mantra japa. The connection to the Guru is disrupted, and the practice becomes dry technique without devotion. Through kusanga, spiritual wisdom, meditation, and devotion are lost. One leaves satsanga, forgets the Truth, the aim of life, and good acts. Life goes in a wrong direction. Patience, righteousness, and duty are lost. Tamas guna and strong desires arise. One wanders aimlessly, enjoying sense objects, becoming a slave to the senses and a troublemaker. True, lasting happiness is found only at the feet of the Gurudeva. Worldly happiness is temporary and dependent on conditions. Be careful, as maya works gradually. Observe and come back to satsanga. "Satguru śaraṇābhachana be Mokahaya."

The Vedas are the foundational knowledge, structured into four collections: the Ṛgveda, Yajurveda, Sāmaveda, and Atharvaveda. Each Veda has four parts: the Saṃhitās, Brāhmaṇas, Āraṇyakas, and Upaniṣads. These correspond to the four stages of human life: student, householder, forest-dweller, and renunciant. Originally one, the Veda was divided by the sage Vedavyāsa for understanding in this age. The Ṛgveda is the oldest, containing hymns to divine aspects. The Yajurveda details ritual performance. The Sāmaveda sets hymns to music. Recitation requires knowing the sage, meter, and deity for each mantra. The Vedas teach that action, ritual, and righteous conduct sustain both individual and societal welfare. "The word 'deva' means a being of light or a radiant being." "According to the Ṛgveda, the most important thing in life is karma, actions." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The topic is Oṁ, the divine vibration. Oṁ is the divine name, God, light. Chanting purifies the atmosphere, illuminates inner space, activates chakras. The Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad declares all this is Brahman, the Ātmā is Brahman. It explains four states: A waking, U dream, M deep sleep, and Turīya, the fourth, beyond consciousness. Turīya is unthinkable, indescribable, the essence of peace and bliss. Oṁ is this Turīya. In the beginning, Brahman alone existed; the first vibration Oṁ arose. From Oṁ sprang the three guṇas, the Divine Mother, and all creation. The scripture says, “In the beginning was the Word”—that Word is Oṁ. Yogīs meditate on Oṁ constantly; it purifies karmas and liberates. A sacred bhajan affirms Oṁ as the source of everything, the form of Parabrahma. Through Oṁ, all knowledge, Vedas, mantras come. Meditation on Oṁ removes worldly fears and grants enduring bliss. Oṁ and Śrī are identical because Oṁ’s tripartite guṇas are the Divine Mother. For true comprehension, depend solely on the commentary of a realized saint. Thus, the yogī keeps Oṁ in the heart and abides in bliss. “Oṁ is the divine name. Oṁ is God. Oṁ is the light.” “Oṁ is the Ātmā, verily. He who knows this merges his self into the universal Self.”

The Atharvaveda concludes the Vedic Saṁhitās, pertaining to worldly life and rituals. It is named for the Atharvan priests, descendants of Atarvan who brought fire. Revealed by the Atharvans and Aṅgiras ṛṣis, it contains 20 books with mantras for ceremonies, healing, and prosperity. Some schools consider only the first three Vedas divine. Its Mahāvākya is "Ayam Ātmā Brahma." During yajña, the Atharvaveda expert supervises; a mistake in recitation requires a corrective ritual. Its Upaveda is the Śilpa Veda, covering arts and architecture. It includes hymns for harmony and pure-hearted living. Yoga in the Vedas symbolizes union with divinity; practice aligns with elemental forces. Ritual objects have significance. The conch shell's sound purifies and is said to have health benefits. The svastika is an auspicious symbol of the four directions and life's aspects, misused in a reversed form. Metals like gold, silver, and copper are used in rituals for their purported properties. The kalāśa vessel and coconut are central to ceremonies. Tilaka applied on the forehead marks spiritual focus. "Earned by hundreds of hands and given by thousands of hands."

The essence of spiritual steadfastness is inner development, not titles or travel. Self-confidence is foundational; without it, motivation fails and the future dims. The science of yoga, given by Śiva, leads to higher consciousness. A realized sādhu, like a deep ocean or the sun, provides light while remaining steadfast. Spiritual titles exist for practical duties, like spreading teachings or gathering support, but the core is inner achievement. True mastery is measured by devotion and unity with the Guru's grace, not by intellect or organization. A master's quality is non-dual love for all disciples. External forms like ashrams are supports, but the seed is inner bhakti. Protect the dharma, yet do not cling to dress or form. The pure heart, filled with devotion, naturally overflows. "Water should stay in one place if it is very deep, like an ocean." "When in your heart that devotion, Guru Bhakti, is complete, it is pūrṇa. Then that Guru Kṛpā is raining, showering on us."

Holy water is a gift of purification for all occasions, representing positive thought and clean energy. Physical and mental dust are constant, requiring regular cleansing like washing the hands. The body's skin is a sensitive, self-cleaning organ that must be cared for naturally. Avoid artificial products like commercial creams, lipsticks, and soaps containing alcohol, which dry and damage the skin. Use pure water, natural oils, butter, or earth instead. The physical body, the annamaya kośa, is sustained by vegetarian food and simple daily practices. Yoga āsanas and prāṇāyāma are essential for health, focusing on gentle movement over extreme postures. Strengthen bones with natural oils and ghee, not through meat consumption. Practice simple exercises regularly, even for seconds at a time, to maintain the body. True care comes from natural substances and consistent, moderate practice.

Fear is an illusion created and exploited by those claiming power over magic and ghosts. People are frightened by tales of black magic and spirits. Many claim they can remove such curses. If you believe in God, then trust that God provides only good. Yet, some seek power for money and influence, which only breeds more fear. Two stories illustrate this deception. In one, a magician exploits a grieving widow, claiming to send her possessions to her deceased husband in heaven. Her returning son exposes the fraud, showing the items were simply stolen. In another, a village fears a ghost in a house. The perceived specter is merely moonlight on a white chimney. Fear alone creates the terror, not any real entity. Your own faith and mantra are your protection. Fear is the only true enemy, weakening and harming you from within. "Jantar, mantra, jādu, ṭonā, sab kī sab bandhan kāṭo." "Therefore, when you have mantra, you have bhajans, you have gurus... who can kill you through the magic? No, no. But killed is your fear." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Control is the foundation of satsaṅg; through control comes oneness and peace. In satsaṅg, let the designated singer sing first; others wait and join later. This holding back builds power. Patañjali taught anuśāsanam, discipline of the indriyas. Without control, some move and disturb, preventing others’ enjoyment. A story illustrates: A camel and a fox were friends. The fox said he could not control screaming after eating. In a farm, he screamed, and farmers beat the camel. This repeated. Finally, crossing water, the camel said it could not control rolling and rolled, almost drowning the fox. The fox then understood control. Control requires mantra discipline. There are five stages: writing the mantra repeatedly, pronouncing it aloud, moving lips silently, mental repetition alone, and then the mantra vibrating in every cell. Hanumān’s every hair sounded ‘Rām Rām’. This is oneness. Do not change your mantra; persist. Through this, peace and bliss arise in satsaṅg. "Atha yogānuśāsanam. First is the control, anuśāsanam." "In each and every cell of Hanumān, the voice of Rāma vibrated." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The call to sannyāsa is a call to inner sādhanā. To take the dress is nothing; the color must be in the heart. The practice begins then, not a state of supremacy. Many think of a partner, but partnerships are like rentals, temporary. God is the eternal partner, giving eternity without payment. There is only one door to the eternal: divine practice. Some practice day and night, and their one day’s sādhanā can serve for a year. Inner sādhanā means not forgetting God in daily rush. Many unknown saints exist; they go unacknowledged. True quality is seen in a person’s practice, not in status. Sing bhajan and do karma yoga simultaneously, listening deeply. Mahāprabhujī’s Śoham mantra transforms the crow into a swan, purifying. Humanity has destroyed nature’s balance, causing disease and infertility. Saints protect humanity and life, not fighting over religion. Sannyāsa is hard work; monasteries demand constant effort, not just prayer. Married life is also difficult; rare couples persist. The path is like iron forged in fire: painful but makes a beautiful ornament; then the charaṇaraj becomes sacred. "Satguru Sat Saṅkhyārī Luvāvī, Satguru Sat Saṅkhyārī." "Kya tum jāno hāl hamārā?

The midnight child is born at the threshold of years, yet the teaching is to abide in the present step. Time is not fixed; each moment vanishes as it is named. Only the eternal Ātmā remains behind all change. A pilgrimage to a high Himalayan cave brought a stark lesson. Gazing down at the steep past causes dizziness and danger. Looking up at the unseen future grants no control. The inner voice said: go step by step, watching only the feet. This means live in the present moment with full soul, intellect, and heart. Do not cling to past lives or future illusions. The present is the sole place where karma can be reshaped. The bhajan instructs: O mind, walk slowly, slowly; the path is narrow and slippery. Awareness is more important than intellect; it oversees the mind. One word holds immense power—it can be nectar or poison. Past is gone; the future mirrors the quality of present attention. So take care of each step, each word, each moment. Blessings arise from every heart, beyond age or status. Enter the new year with awareness, dissolving past burdens through present action.

A Christmas reflection on blessing, non-violence, and divine victory. Blessing is immortal, unchanged across all ages. We gather to contemplate divinity and the removal of negative karma. Many saints have appeared; today we remember Jesus. His birth brings a unity where no one is an enemy. Yet, even near him, negative forces arose—this is Āsurī Śakti, a black power that does not last. Divine glory and truth alone ultimately triumph. Reflect on the example set: to forgive, and to carry mercy. It is not good to kill animals on this day, for he was born among them and they were happy. To receive his blessing and Mary's mercy, give up violence and follow non-violence. Take a vow in his name to give up eating meat and using drugs, so life may become harmonious and one with God. "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

The concept of a New Year reveals the eternal, unchanging Self. Calendars and dates are human constructs for worldly life. For the Ākāśa and the ātmā, there is no time or change. The Self is unmovable, unbreakable, everlasting, spotless, and without form. While various cultures celebrate different New Years, the true celebration is recognizing every day as new. The real New Year is one's spiritual birthday, acknowledging the Self that is never born and never dies. Destiny guides life and fulfills karmic desires; when a desire is fulfilled, interest naturally ceases. Attachment to duty and understanding dissolves worldly longings. One should not carry burdens into the next moment but see each day as a fresh beginning. "For the ātmā (the Self), there is no change. That is why it is called achalva, meaning unmovable." "Every day is a new birthday. Every day is a New Year. That is called the one without a second, beyond time and space."

Meditation with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are a lot of chemicals and wood in paper. We are causing pollution by using this paper in order to wrap presents. It’s important to learn and follow the ethical rules. Prayer has a strong power; the result of positive thinking will also be positive.

Wellness is achieved through sattvic living and non-violence, beginning with non-violence towards oneself. Illness often stems from violating natural laws, particularly in diet. We must eat to live for perfect health, not live merely to eat. Ancient wisdom prescribes mantras to purify our atmosphere and bless our food, cultivating sattvic quality. Āyurveda and Yoga are the two wings for a healthy life, guided by three principles: sattvic (pure), rajasic (aggressive), and tamasic (dull). Tamasic quality includes laziness, old food, alcohol, and misused spices, which poison the body and breed disease. Sattvic food—like milk, nuts, and fresh vegetables—creates happiness and balance. True wellness extends beyond diet to include movement like gentle yoga, positive thinking, and a harmonious lifestyle. Excessive bodybuilding or advanced postures driven by ego becomes rajasic and harmful. We must remember our human purpose: to protect, love, and forgive. Our food directly shapes our body, mind, and health; therefore, we must choose fresh, organic nourishment. Ultimately, a life of non-violence, positive thought, and sattvic practice leads to health, happiness, and liberation. "Violence is against wellness, and wellness is not violence." "As is our food, so will be our body." Filming location: Czech Republic

Yoga is the science of union and the balanced foundation of creation. Before creation, the five elements existed separately yet balanced in endless space, alongside universal consciousness. Harmonizing these principles is the first point. Creation begins from the primordial resonance, the sound Oṁ, which is everywhere and considered divine. From this sound comes light, the fire element, known as Svayambhū, that which manifests itself. From Svayambhū comes Śiva, and the multiplication of all elements and life. Yoga means union with oneself. Among 8.4 million species, the human is one. Humans are protectors but have lost their way, making themselves ill through poor diet and environmental harm. Yoga is the science of the human body for achieving good health. Practice includes physical exercise, proper diet, and chanting the primal sound. The body has energy centers, chakras, with fifty-two alphabets of resonance within. Chanting Oṁ from the navel, heart, throat, and head can heal and reduce stress. Balance the physical body, energy body, mind, and knowledge to elevate consciousness. Practice yoga in daily life for society, nourishment, and liberation. "From that sound we call Oṁ." "Yoga means union—to come to oneself." Filming location: Slovakia

The soul's path is confused by ancestral imbalance. Disrupted family lines create inner conflict, preventing the soul's straight journey. This confusion mirrors nature: water reclaims its path, birds follow ancestral routes, and grafted plants bear fruit but no fertile seed. Human life mirrors this; impure unions produce confusion, not lasting growth. One must purify karma and understand natural balance. Life ascends to a peak at fifty years, then descends. All are cells of God, rays of one sun. The divine dwells equally within every entity. Inner male and female energies must balance through specific prāṇāyāma techniques, leading to union.

This gathering celebrates the opening of a divine āśram and the shared work of the past year. A story is told of a miraculous cave where a voice warns that taking something leads to regret, yet taking nothing leads to greater regret. This mirrors the opportunity within a project; some participate more, some less, but all contribution is appreciated. The work has created a center of spiritual light where visitors may find peace and understanding. Yoga is a science for healthy, happy, spiritual living, leading toward self-realization through lifelong willpower. It is embraced globally for physical, mental, and social health, serving as a path to the Supreme. All religious paths ultimately converge at one gate. The practice is essential, for everything is nothing without health. The roots of this teaching are ancient and must be preserved, just as a tree dies if its roots are cut.

The soul is the sovereign ruler of the inner kingdom, the body. We are sinking in thoughts born from desire. Life grows shorter while we focus on the body. The soul ascends and descends, drawn to experience the world. In the womb, the soul is imprisoned, destined to become an individual. Upon birth, we are a separate Self. We possess the five elements: earth, water, air, fire, and space. Within them resides the soul. You are not alone; you contain a whole universe. The soul is the president, the highest authority. The senses and organs of action are the prime minister and the public, the ten powers that govern the kingdom. Do not become their slave; let them work. You are the king of your body. Your soul is your Guru, the highest Self. All humans possess the same soul, yet we create dualities and suffer. This body is a great instrument.

The full moon brings immense power, sweetness to vegetation, and calmness through fasting. Fasting balances health and emotions, and is observed with a saṅkalpa, a vow directed to the Divine Mother or Śaktis, who possess great destructive power. During Navarātrī, a nine-night fast with milk and fruits is kept for energy and protection, often for blessings like a good spouse. Observance requires discipline, such as avoiding specific foods, and these vows must be kept to maintain the marital bond. The moon's energy purifies; offerings like milk left under its light absorb protection and promote good thoughts. Full moons mark powerful periods for incarnations and prayers for ancestors' liberation. Our reality is shaped by faith and observance, not by seeing the moon, as its influence is constant. Heaven and hell are internal states of the heart, and we must avoid cursing, as it returns.

Yoga is an infinite ocean containing all treasures and life. It is the single reality that unites all existence and leads to infinity, making one united with all. Humans search endlessly for their origin, purpose, and destination, yet no philosophy or material science can provide these answers. Only yoga offers a path to realization. The Earth's balance, maintained by the moon, is being destroyed by human digging and deforestation, risking a great dissolution. True practitioners may be spared, but achieving understanding requires immense effort and often comes only with the final breath.

The moon's influence and the science of constellations govern life. The moon balances the earth and affects minds, bodies, animals, and plants. Its phases influence activities like farming, haircuts, and yogic practice. Astrology based on the moon is considered more exact than solar-based systems. The precise time and place of birth determine one's constellation, which then suggests a harmonious name. Everything is connected to these astrological principles. Practice and eating should be mindful and deliberate. Svara Yoga explains the connection between breath, the moon's energy, and the mind. Harmony in life comes from aligning with these natural rhythms. "The moon has more effect on our planet." "Everything is connected to astrological constellations." Filming locations: Graz, Austria.

Satsaṅg is the power that determines upliftment or downfall. Satsaṅg leads to Brahmaloka, as great saints declare. Absence from satsaṅg yields no fruit. Uṭhān means rising, development; patan means falling, destruction. Both paths sprout from one seed, like two leaves. Parents are potters, children are clay. Discipline and right companionship shape a child into a doctor, professor, or saint. Bad company brings drugs, theft, and ruin. Even parents lose their influence. Two friends: one skipped satsaṅg for cinema, found a purse of gold; the other went to satsaṅg, cut his foot on glass. The guru revealed the cinema-goer was destined for a kingdom but received only coins; the satsaṅg-goer was spared a fatal accident. A farmer made exquisite garlands daily for a merchant’s guru. On Guru Pūrṇimā, the king wanted that garland, offering millions and even his kingdom. The farmer refused, honoring his word to the merchant. He renounced all for truth, knowing his guru would grant Brahmaloka. Thus, satsaṅg and honest company determine whether one rises or falls.

Today is the holy day of divine incarnation. We show respect by marking the divine coming to earth. Divine names like Śiva, Braṣmā, Viṣṇu, Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, and Jesus are short and sweet. These are glories given to the one reality. Titles like doctor or professor are just designations; the reality is one soul. In this age, a disciple gave the name "Holy Gurujī," which signifies high respect. We are human, using names to show respect, similar to calling anyone "sir." Our Guru received the title Hindu Dharm Samrāṭ, like an emperor of eternal duty, and also Vishwaguru. These titles are subtitles; we remain the same essence. Worldly titles, like President or First Lady, are transient. The true power is in the name and the quality it represents. Today, under a good constellation, our Satguru was born.

Today marks the incarnation of beloved Holī Gurujī, one heart and one soul with Swamiji. Holī Gurujī and Swamiji were of one heart and one soul; Gurujī continually repeated mantra for Swamiji and all. He deeply respected Śrī Mahāprabhujī. His room in Strilky holds his presence; footprints remain on the altar. When he first appeared, he was like a lion, serious, but one smile melted all, lifting spirits for days. A night in Jadan, a covered servant massaged his feet; the touch of his feet remains unforgettable. Swamiji always placed Gurujī first: everything was for Gurujī. At his passing in 2003, grief endures, but he is one with Mahāprabhujī. The bhajan “Divāna Satguru” expresses this: alive yet dead inside, one with the Divine. A devotee searched the world for God, then found God waiting at his own door; opening the heart’s door is the true meditation. Where Gurudev’s footprints are, that is the real pilgrim place. Mahāprabhujī comforted a sorrowful Gurujī: “You are mine, I am yours; do not sorrow.” Protection is in the Divine Name; repeat the mantra, and Gurudev is with you. In Haridwar Kumbha Melā, at three in the morning, Gurujī’s bhajans filled the tent. He composed “Prem kā pyālā”: a prayer to fill the bowl of love. Those who come to His door receive everything; none go empty‑handed. Saints like Mīrā and Kabīr drank this love; the same call is now. “Prem kā pyālā Hari kab merā bharasī?” — “O Lord, when will you fill this bowl of love?” “Jo tere dar āyā sab kuch pāyā, khālī gayā nahīṅ koī āpke ghar se.” — “Those who came to your door got everything; no one went away empty‑handed.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The blessing of pure earth and air nourishes human life. This ancient apple garden thrives without pesticides or contaminated water, its deep soil providing coolness and sustenance. Walking barefoot on this earth connects one to its energy and provides natural acupressure. The wind carries the essence of hundreds of medicinal plants and grasses, purifying the air we breathe. This pure prāṇa, combined with mindful practice like prāṇāyāma, constitutes a true retreat for health. Modern civilization often severs this vital connection to nature, weakening both humans and animals. True well-being requires ahiṃsā, non-violence, extending not just to humans but to all life—trees, forests, and animals. We must protect these pure elements as the foundation of a long and healthy life. "Walk without your shoes and gloves, socks—walk barefoot so you can get a touch of the Mother Earth." "Inhale air. Touch the earth. This will give us… it is a retreat. It is healthy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

There are five variations of Trikoṇāsana. Practice each according to your own capacity, not in competition. The posture benefits the kidneys, liver, digestion, and back muscles. However, do not practice it if you have problems with the hips, spine, discs, dizziness, epilepsy, knees, or headaches. Always practice with open eyes. The quality of yoga is found in doing as much as one can, for as long as one can, without force. Separate from the physical practice, be cautious with intense gazing techniques like Trāṭak in daily life; simple practice for health and concentration is best. "Do as much as we can. No competition, no challenge, only do as much as we can do." "We should not run behind different things. Do your good yoga exercises for your health and concentration."

True teaching is absorbed in the heart, not captured in recordings or notes. Recordings and writings get lost, misused, and become fruitless. Faith means complete confidence and devotion. The Guru’s miracles come from such love. A governor once stopped his meal when told the Guru was near. He came at once, saying life is uncertain but the Guru’s darśana is the greatest blessing. The disciple’s trust in the Guru is true wealth. Bhajans are the highest philosophy because they remain unchanged. Books can be altered and expanded by disciples. Saints have taken the essence like butter from milk. Yet the cow of bhakti remains with the devotee. Feed that cow with the Guru’s seva, and fresh butter will come. All wisdom is within; do not run outward. Expand internally through mantra and cakra. The heart’s sound is endless and pure. Devotion is the source of all teachings, always available. “Gurudeva darśana dhanahu.” “Makhan khāyā to kyā khāyā, dhenu hamāre pās.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Time is a human construct, yet it governs all life. Humans count seconds and years, but time does not count for us; it moves in cycles with the sun. No being is immortal, not even deities who have their appointed times in each age. A creator may become an ant, and an ant may become a creator, as time brings all transformations. We grow and we go; this cannot be stopped. A sage in the mountains received the Vedas and wished to study them for eternity. When death's messenger came for him, the sage repeatedly requested more time to learn. The messenger finally showed him that the knowledge he had acquired was merely a handful of sand compared to the vast mountain of wisdom. The sage then understood and departed willingly. Our allotted time should be used for spiritual practice and good deeds. Pride and anger destroy spiritual attainment, as shown by a yogi who lost his power through cursing a bird and displaying arrogance to a humble woman. The knowledge and abilities we possess must be utilized, or they are lost. The breath is the rope of life; its length is unknown. "Ṛṣi, till now, what have you learned? Only that much which is dust in your hands." "You have yoga. Use it or lose it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Anuṣṭhāna is a disciplined spiritual practice requiring strict adherence. A short retreat of five days is insufficient for profound attainment without proper conduct. The practice involves systematic purification of the subtle channels through specific breath techniques. Discipline extends beyond the practice hall to include regulated eating, silence, and minimal activity. An ideal schedule dedicates nine hours daily to sādhanā, including prāṇāyāma and chakra purification. This rigor purifies the system and promotes health. The practice is not a casual activity but a committed undertaking. "Forget your usual eating habits. Just come, drink water, eat what is given, and meditate." "Anuṣṭhāna should be for two, three weeks, or a month. But of course, everyone has families." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The soul’s cloth is purified only by the constant color of God’s Name. Kabir Das taught that this body is a shawl, a chadar, woven over months in the mother’s womb. Purity comes through heat, through tapasya and sadhana, not by blaming master or friends. Mere practice for decades yields no color. The shawl is delicate, breaking from worldly touch, soiled by desires, anger, jealousy. Taking iron tablets may fail; direct injection from the Master succeeds. Constant remembrance from the heart is the needed injection. The inner soul is fragile; samsara spots it instantly. One must steep in the color from the heart, like a crystal that gathers no dust. The eight chakras and five tattvas spin the thread and weave the cloth. Day by day, karma soils it. The Guru gives the pure color. Accepting that person’s hug removes all dirt. Ego, the “I,” blocks all advancement. “Chadariyā jhīnī re jhīnī, Ḍāgarī nāme citere, lālo lāl kāradī nāre.” “You have to take the color into your heart, together with jñāna, knowledge.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The human body is divided into four parts, as revealed in the Bhagavad Gita. The head is Brāhmaṇa, the seat of knowledge and the five sense organs. The arms are Kṣatriya, the warrior with strength to protect. The trunk is Vaiśya, the farmer distributing nourishment from intake to liver and body. The legs are Śūdra, impure from walking everywhere yet essential. Purification comes through Anuṣṭhāna, cleansing chakras and prāṇāyāma. The farmer is the greatest scientist, knowing life and harmony. Modern science often disrupts purity, tampering with milk and food. Pure nourishment like mother’s milk and organic food sustains the bodily vehicle. The body is naturally beautiful, crafted by the Divine. No caste exists among humans; such divisions are man-made errors. Animals never discriminate by color or form. The soul is pure, the heart is beautiful, regardless of skin. Nature itself shows balance, like the peacock’s display and the peahen’s wisdom. The teaching is to offer bodily purity at the lotus feet of God. One must honor all body parts and all beings without distinction. Returning to earth, we practice in a beautiful home, singing bhajans. “Cāturvarṇyaṃ mayā sṛṣṭaṃ... It is not a caste; that caste comes after we are learning.” “Do not make differences between humans. And similarly, animals too.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The light of the Supreme Self illuminates all. The Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna is a practice from the tradition involving 64 kriyās. All action is kriyā. The human instrument possesses five senses of knowledge and five of action. These senses provide information from the world. Every element, including plants and water, possesses life and awareness. The body is a composite of many living cells and the five elemental sheaths. The conscious self is felt within the heart center. The individual soul, or Jīvātmā, resides within yet is distinct from these layers. One is not a singular entity but a collective of countless lives. The soul is like a queen bee; if it departs, the entire hive is abandoned. All beings are individual yet part of a unified whole, like drops from one ocean. The practice involves silence, minimal nourishment, and meditation to turn awareness inward. Do not harm any life. Attaining supreme knowledge while living risks ego. True union occurs near life's end. Therefore, practice diligently without haste or force. "One is not a singular entity but a collective of countless lives." "All beings are individual yet part of a unified whole, like drops from one ocean." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Welcome to the ashram, a place for spiritual practice and international community. This castle ashram, donated by a devotee, is a historic site with a beautiful atmosphere. Practitioners from across the world gather here with the shared aim of Yoga in Daily Life, for the harmony of body, mind, and soul. This system is a complete human science, not merely physical exercise. Personal experimentation with practices and diet is a foundational principle, just as a mother tests food before feeding her child. The human life is precious, and the divine is immanent within all creatures. True practice extends beyond the mat to encompass daily life, listening, and helping others. The ultimate reality is one, known by different names. "Yoga in Daily Life is not only these two or three exercises." "Each and every cell of our body is very precious."

Trāṭak is concentration through gazing. Tilak is a mark of spiritual balance and wisdom. Trāṭak involves fixing the gaze on a single point, such as a candle flame, a dot, or the new moon. This practice develops concentration and inner clarity. Gazing directly at the sun should be brief to avoid harm. The true inner light is not a visual phenomenon but the light of wisdom at the Ājñā Chakra. Applying a Tilak at this point symbolizes this wisdom. The Tilak, made from substances like sandalwood paste or ash, helps balance the body's energy channels. It is a spiritual practice, not merely a religious ritual. This balance is part of the eternal natural order. Without discipline and a qualified guide, forceful practice can be dangerous. The power of focused gaze is real, but it must be used with purity and care. "Trāṭak means we gaze on one object." "Tilak is very, very important and very spiritual."

The practice of Oṃ connects to the four Yugas and channels energy through the body's centers. Energy recedes in the present age, so we must cultivate positivity. Techniques exist to direct blessings and prāṇa for healing, as seen when a hand placed on the navel released pain and brought health for years. Disturbances in places may be cleared through specific rituals and grace. The lines on one's foot soles indicate fortune and energy; inviting a master into the home invites blessing. Holy water carries transformative power. True shelter comes when a master places a hand on the head, dispelling negativity. The navel is the nest of life and a crucial point for the prāṇa's departure. Observe the lines on your feet and palms, for they reflect your nature. "Place your hand on the nābhi, and for ten minutes or half an hour, on the maṇipūra, hand, right palm, and then the second palm, and relax." "The master puts on your forehead or on your head, and the disciple from the toes."

Yoga reveals the hidden powers within through five sheaths of human existence. The first is the physical body of nourishment, which is foundational. The second is the vital energy sheath, fueled by proper sustenance and diminished by substances like alcohol. The third is the mental sheath, possessing immense speed and reach. The fourth is the sheath of intellect and wisdom. The fifth is the sheath of bliss. These layers contain the soul, and all life is interconnected. Physical and psychic tensions, often stored in areas like the thyroid or navel, cause disease. The body operates on vibrational resonance, exemplified by sacred sounds. Daily yogic practice releases tension, awakens inner energy, and sustains health and unity. "The body is not everything, but everything is nothing without the body." "One in all and all in one."

The Mahā Mṛtyu Jaya Mantra offers protection and inner purification. Chant the mantra mentally or aloud while driving for divine safeguarding. This mantra cleanses the mind and heart, akin to washing plates. Proper dress and cleanliness demonstrate respect toward others. Beauty resides in the heart, eyes, and mouth. Men should have beards and protruding stomachs for proper appearance. Humans cause Mahāpralaya through deforestation. Mining for coal, gold, and silver creates empty spaces in the earth. Oil extraction and water injection increase these voids. Destroying mountains for marble and cement disrupts earth's balance. Building billions of roads pollutes and kills the earth. Slaughtering animals generates sin leading to downfall. Pesticides poison humans, causing diseases. Constructing dams blocks natural water flow, preventing ocean replenishment. Removing dams and allowing free water flow restores balance. Spiritual practitioners will ascend to higher realms before Mahāpralaya. "When you feel unhappy, or a little bit of some problems, or you feel that somebody is against you, or you go to an examination... chant this Mahā Mṛtyu Jaya Mantra." "Humans will be the cause of Mahāpralaya again. But he said in this bhajana, those who are spiritual, they need sādhanā. Before the Mahāpralaya comes, they will go to the Svargalokas or Brahmalokas."

The wisdom of Patañjali provides the foundation for Haṭha Yoga. Patañjali systematized yoga, teaching Aṣṭāṅga Yoga to make the path simple. His core principle is "Ahiṃsā paramodharma," meaning non-violence is the highest duty. The ṛṣis of ancient times performed tapasyā in the forest, free from worldly entanglement, establishing the various yogic paths. Patañjali’s text is essential evidence for all seekers. The primary practice begins with the body, ensuring it is healthy. The fundamental work, however, concerns one's mental impressions, or vṛttis. Negative vṛttis, arising from bad association, separate one from the spiritual path and lead to self-destruction, regardless of external practice. Positive vṛttis naturally elevate consciousness. One must vigilantly guard against negative thoughts, especially towards the guru, as they create a fatal crack in one's spiritual foundation. The energy of a true ṛṣi creates harmony, where all beings coexist peacefully. The practice of Haṭha Yoga, including techniques like Nauli, supports physical health and mastery. "Negative vṛttis, arising from bad association, separate one from the spiritual path and lead to self-destruction." "Ahiṃsā paramodharma. The highest religion is non-violence."
