The human body is a wondrous coach for spiritual journey. The full moon is a spiritually potent time for purification through disciplined fasting, which cleanses physical impurities and strengthens willpower. This body is pulled by the ten wild horses of the senses. The intellect acts as the reins and the mind as the driver to control them. When the light of knowledge is lit within this coach, the king—the soul—is realized. Viveka, the discerning advisor, uses the arrow of the guru's word to destroy negative passions. This vehicle can contain entire universes in consciousness, leading to inner harmony and bliss. "These ten horses are wild. And can you imagine the ten wild horses pulling one coach?" "Jñān kī bhattī ratme lagāī. So, the light of knowledge we light it in this coach." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Culture arises from sacred rituals designed to educate and harmonize humanity with nature. God endowed humans with divine power, but like the saved snake or the mouse turned tiger, they often turn against their benefactor. Without devotion, humans are like animals. To save the world from chaos, the ancient sages devised spiritual injections: ethics, morals, and compassion. These teachings manifest as cultural festivals and ceremonies called saṃskāras. These rituals provide practical education and protect society and nature. For example, a ritual where girls water a banyan tree during drought teaches tree protection and community bonding. Another festival, Rakṣā Bandhan, formally ties brothers to protect their sisters, strengthening social bonds. Culture is the life of society, moving with people and fostering respect, as seen in addressing strangers as mother, sister, or daughter. Without such culture, there is only restlessness and conflict. "Through the saṃskāras comes saṃskṛti: tradition, culture. And that saṃskṛti, those saṃskāras, protect human society." "Without culture, humans cannot survive. That is sure." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The highest tattva is Guru Tattva, the path to realization. Yoga is a principle, not only postures. The aim of yoga includes health, but the real purpose is Ātmā Cintan, leading to Ātmā Anubhūti and Ātmā Jñāna. Physical practices alone do not solve human life’s purpose. There are two kinds of God: nirguṇa without qualities and saguṇa with qualities. Both are the same, but worship through a personal deity is easier for embodied beings. The human body is a bundle of guṇas. Śiva is the greatest, self-manifested. Viṣṇu and Brahmā were created by Śiva through mind. Guru Tattva embodies knowledge, is everlasting, spotless, unmovable, and non-dual. The wave merges into the ocean, so the soul merges into Brahman. The body has limitations; true happiness is Paramānanda, permanent bliss. Karma yoga purifies karmic fog and clears consciousness. Scriptures are unchanging evidence. Doubts, anger, and jealousy indicate incomplete humanity. Realization transcends the three guṇas. The Guru is the Supreme Brahman. "Yoga means balance. Yoga means harmony. Yoga means peace, and yoga means oneness." "Gurur Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ—the Guru is the Supreme Brahman, therefore worship the Gurudeva."

The inner path and the teacher's responsibility are defined by spiritual principles. Every individual possesses five layers, the pañca kośas, within which resides the jīvātmā. Final spiritual achievement is possible only through Guru Kṛpā. A Gurumukhī follows the guru's teachings and mantra, while a Manmukhī is enslaved by the changing mind. Teachers must understand this duality and guide students toward Sanātana Dharma, harmonizing instruction with local culture but distinguishing true culture from detrimental habits like meat and alcohol consumption. The inner instrument, antaḥkaraṇa, consists of manas, buddhi, citta, and ahaṁkāra, which are polluted by mal, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. These create karma through thought, word, and deed. The causal body, the ānandamaya kośa, awakens desires. One must engage in niṣkāma karma, selfless action, without declaration, to accumulate good karma. Disturbances arise from three sources: the physical, the astral, and the spiritual. The responsibility is to teach clearly and simply, offering health and happiness. "Gurumukhī is the slave of no one. Manmukhī is the slave of the mind." "Niṣkāma karma is that which you dedicated. Do not count it. Do not mention it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path of realization begins with compassion. Śrāvaṇa month is dedicated to Śiva, marked by abhiṣeka with pañcāmṛta: water, honey, milk, yogurt, and butter. This ritual purifies. The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya mantra calms the universal fire within the Śivaliṅga. Theoretical knowledge is like a poster of a horse; practical realization is the living horse. The first declaration of Self-Realization is "all creatures are my soul." This is not a theory to excuse behavior but a lived truth. The world is beautiful yet cruel, a tunnel where one's purity can be stained. Every being is like a wounded soldier seeking home. God's greatest gift to humans is compassion, the foundation of realization. Obstacles are many, but one must proceed without fear. "Viśvaprāṇī, all creatures on this earth, Merī Ātmā Hai." "Theory is explained. The difference between practice and theory is that we have two horses." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The inner sun of wisdom rises when ignorance dissolves, and Brahma-muhūrta brings the nectar of dawn for spiritual practice. Bhagavān Bhāskara, the sun, possesses twelve names, each with a mantra for Sūrya Namaskāra postures. Dawn signifies darkness fading and the inner sun of wisdom emerging in consciousness. The mantra directs: “Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya”—lead from darkness to light. In higher consciousness, there is Akhaṇḍa Ujala, everlasting light, without sun or moon. This light is self-realization, not physical sight. The time before dawn, Brahma-muhūrta, makes mantra practice most effective. Dawn itself is Amṛt Velā, the time of nectar. A fine nectar then descends on vegetation, and creatures who drink it live the whole day happily. At sunrise, Sandhyā Velā, the junction of night and day, is ideal for pūjā. Prayers at this time are directly heard by the divine. Drinking one or two glasses of water at room temperature during the dawn improves health. The twelve names of Sūrya Namaskār relate to the hours and bring protection, harmony, and peace. Khaṭupranām is a separate spiritual practice affecting all cakras and mantras and improving immunity. Sharing food with any creature before eating removes karma and makes it real prasāda. The sun is the light of the eyes, passed generationally and given to any being one looks upon. Discipline in attendance and posture during teaching is essential to receive the nectar of words. “Tamaso mā jyotir gamaya—lead us from darkness to light.” “Akhaṇḍa Ujalā, Akhaṇḍa Ujalā—Everlasting Light.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga Nidrā is the sleep of the yogīs, a state of deep, aware relaxation distinct from ordinary sleep. This practice is a core part of the system, which has developed over five decades. The approach values quality and authenticity over popularity, maintaining techniques as taught without alteration. Instruction requires great care, trust, and should only include methods personally experienced by the teacher to avoid causing confusion or fear. The practice is a service for well-being, not commerce, with any charges strictly covering essential costs. In Yoga Nidrā, awareness turns inward to the limitless inner space, where one rests in pure consciousness beyond the physical body and the three states of time. It is an awakened state where the practitioner perceives the eternal light and unity of the soul. "Yoga Nidrā is the sleep of the yogīs. It is said we cannot see the sun moving, but we can see the sun rising." "In that yoga nidrā, we think they are sleeping, but they are jāgrat, they are fully awakened."

Active and passive meditation guide to contentment and inner peace. Active meditation is working with love, observing nature. The desert mirage, mṛga-tṛṣṇā, shows saṃsāra’s illusion; chasing distant hopes exhausts like the deer. Learn from the desert’s creatures surviving on dew: minimize needs and be content. The forest tree, rooted and resilient, meditates through storm, heat, and cold, asking nothing. Water’s flow is pleasant, unlike man-made noise. Cooking is essential active meditation; knowing how to cook completes life, ensuring health and self-reliance. Home cooking grows economy and avoids dependence. Passive meditation turns inward, repeating the mantra while observing the inner self. Keep eyes open during prayer and asanas for balance and alertness. In Kali Yuga, sumiran—mantra repetition—is the supreme path. Practice cleanses sins, bringing wisdom like a rope cutting stone. One second of sincere repetition can liberate. Surrender passively into God’s hands while actively practicing the mantra. All forms eventually merge into oneness. The soul, like a bird on a sinking boat, returns again to the guru’s shelter. Balance active engagement with passive surrender. "In Kali Yuga, the best path is Bhakti Yoga, Nāma—your mantra. Sumir sumir, nar hoi bhava para—while practicing, practicing, O human, you will cross this ocean of ignorance." "Karat karat abhyās pyāre, jaḍmatī hot sujān, rasike āvat jāvat, śil par parat niśān—while practicing, practicing, O dear one, even the dull-minded become wise; like a rope coming and going, a mark is made on stone."

The jīva, or soul, seeks everlasting happiness, paramānanda, beyond fleeting pleasures. There are temporary happinesses that vanish and cause suffering. The jīva is eternal, indestructible, and cannot be perceived by physical means. It enters and leaves the body freely, untouched by fire, water, or any obstacle. Every being carries this divine light, driven to attain pleasure and remove all pain. Through the five elements, the jīva manifests the ten senses and is sustained by the life forces. Happiness and sorrow reside in the jīva, not in the body. Seeking joy in material objects yields disappointment because the world is impermanent. Disappointment itself is a process of change and growth. Attachment binds the jīva, like a caged bird prevented from flying. Renunciation requires constant movement to avoid forming attachments. The worldly life is inherently a place of disappointment, even for the Creator. Clinging to relationships brings suffering, for all are transient. Temporary pleasures inevitably turn into pain. Therefore, one must seek paramānanda, the supreme, undying bliss. The jīva is like a drop suspended over the ocean of ātmā; upon merging, individuality dissolves, and it becomes Śiva. All spiritual practices aim for this union, where the jīva finds true peace. "Each and every entity carries the light of God, and that light of God is not for this body only but for that soul, and that soul is life." "This jīva is like a drop of water on the whole of our palm, held over the ocean. This drop is jīva, and the ocean is ātmā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The individual owes a debt to the five elemental devas, repaid through purity, not pollution. Polluting water or misusing fire incurs negative karma. The fire of knowledge removes ignorance, but misusing yoga's principles causes harm. The digestive fire must be managed, and the fires of anger and passion must be calmed. Polluting the air carries consequences back to the body. Humans create enduring pollution like plastic, unlike nature's cleansing. The five traditional debts are to mother, father, the elements, teachers, and sages. Correctly interpreting the sages' teachings is essential to avoid distortion. The aim is to live a pure, householder life leading to liberation. "If you pollute water... it is a sin. That pollution of the Jala Tatva will attack you in return." "The flame of knowledge removes our ignorance and gives us the right direction." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The science of yoga is an eternal light from the ancient seers, unchanged through all ages for human well-being. Its roots are in the Satya Yuga from the great saint Alakha, connected to the Himalayan Siddhapīṭha where the divine trinity resides. Creation begins with Svayambhū Śiva, with Viṣṇu as protector and Brahmā as the physical creator. This sacred region, with its rivers and ṛṣis, is sustained by yoga's science. Our lineage, the Ālak Purījī Siddhapīṭha Paramparā, carries this same flame through generations. Yoga in Daily Life is not mere physical training but this spiritual light. Teachers must uphold its quality and principles without compromise, knowing this path leads to liberation. "Ekohaṁ bahu syāmi—I am one, and will multiply in ānanda into many." "We change the lamp, but the flame, the light, is the same." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Dharma is obligation and duty, particularly within the household. Svādhyāya is the study of one's own inner chapter through self-inquiry. The primary dharma for householders is to raise children with spiritual education, transforming them from human to divine. Merely giving birth is easy, but fulfilling this educational duty is difficult. A second universal dharma is self-realization. Theoretical study is endless; practice is essential. Protect dharma, and it protects you. Create a loving home through shared efforts like cooking and eating together, which fosters family unity and fulfills your obligation. "To have a child is not difficult, but to grow and give life to the child is very difficult." "Tons of theory is nothing compared to a grain of practice." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The living transmission of knowledge requires a master, a disciple, and the spoken wisdom. A technique dies if not passed on. The master aims to make the disciple a master, surpassing the philosopher's stone which only transforms. Good qualities must be transmitted to be perfected. This process is defined by Śruti, Śrotriya, and Śrota. Śruti is the authentic scripture. The Śrotriya is the master who understands and explains it. The Śrota is the listening disciple. Without this chain, knowledge is lost. Reading a book differs from learning from a realized teacher. The transmission must be accurate to become Smṛti, or remembered tradition. This system upgrades spiritual understanding. What you receive, you must give. This protects and elevates all. "Śruti is that which is taught by the Master." "A Satguru is one who is Brahmaniṣṭha—a knower, a realizer of Brahman. He is the Śrotriya who can speak about Brahman." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sādhanā rests on four pillars: diet, movement, conduct, and thought. Systematic practice here is reduced at home. Chakras exist in the astral body, reflecting upon but not dependent on physical glands. The Vajra nāḍī balances the three primary channels; strengthening it requires daily practice of eleven rounds of Kaṭhuparaṇam. Success in Kriyā begins with controlling diet. One must eat only when truly hungry and learn to cook properly, as cooking is foundational spiritual knowledge. Mental purification requires monitoring thoughts. These four principles—āhār, vihār, ācār, vicār—purify the inner instrument of mind, intellect, consciousness, and ego. "Food is not delicious. Hunger is delicious." "If you cannot cook, then your human life is 40% less." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The soul descends with rain into vegetation and seeds, manifesting through four doors: sweat-born, egg-born, womb-born, and sprouting. What parents eat, drink, and how they interact during pregnancy imprints the child’s psyche. Fear, anxiety, or spiritual discussion shape the unborn. Purify the body with sāttvic food and prāṇāyāma for at least five years before conception. The kind of food determines the mind’s quality. The Upaniṣads declare that consumed seeds develop as seed in the body. The soul in astral form is drawn to earth with water, entering vegetation. Earth is mother, rivers are mothers, the ocean is father. Drinking milk from a cow makes that cow a mother; its calves become siblings. Seeds are increasingly manipulated away from original tiny forms. Preserving quality is essential; compromising it brings consequences. Mixing anything into Yoga in Daily Life damages spiritual development and misguides others. One person’s negative karma can confuse many, creating a chain of suffering. The Vedas teach harmony with nature, not manipulation. Wisdom must not be manipulated. Attend satsaṅg regularly; avoiding it is unlucky. “Jaisā khāya anna, vaisā rahe mana.” “We hate the sin, not the sinner.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Āsana practice is a foundational nourishment for body and mind, extending beyond physical health to spiritual development. Movement is essential; stagnation leads to exhaustion. Modern dynamic practice often loses the traditional aim of stillness, which cultivates inner calm and awareness. Practice is not for building ego or perfecting form alone, but for creating internal stability to be of service. Synchronize movement with natural breath, without force, to deepen awareness and reduce stress. This mindful practice prepares the body and mind for prāṇāyāma and meditation, integrating them into a joyful spiritual discipline. The ultimate aim is to become a better person. "When you practice āsanas, try to remain in the position for a longer time, without so much movement within the position." "If we want to do something good for others, we must be good inside."

A sādhanā camp is a healing retreat for body, mind, and spirit. Ancient wisdom prescribes bathing in air, sun, and water for health; spiritual bathing in a sacred environment completes the healing. This dedicated time, free from worldly duties, allows for deep practice. Do not lose this precious opportunity in idle talk or inner dialogue. Be like a wooden spoon in honey, absorbing the sweet essence of satsaṅg to carry home. True purification comes from tradition, cleansing the senses and removing the curtains of ignorance through practice and satsaṅg. The goal is to burn away karma and attain purity of consciousness. "Try not to lose time at seminars on coffees, on nonsense talk, and nonsense 'not-talk' with others." "Yoga will be successful through the practice of karma yoga."

Truly, there is no inherently bad day; only unfortunate events occur. All creation holds beauty that requires care, from plants to furniture. When something cherished is lost, sadness arises. Objects touched by a holy one carry value because of that personality, not money. Negative thinking alone is bad; before judging, negativity already dwells within. The wise do not grieve because the soul is immortal. Without knowledge of the soul, attachment to form causes sorrow. A saint’s passing is a merging into Brahman, not cause for sadness. The sixteenth day is marked by Sorsi Bandhara, a feast with gifts and pusp anjali. This offering of flowers connects to the sixteen siddhis of attainment. The moon’s sixteen kalas influence plant growth and immunity. Planting during the waxing moon yields stronger, pest-resistant plants. Devpuriji possessed such light that he could appear in multiple places simultaneously. He once appeared to Holi Guruji, saying he was going to Europe to help. Immortal saints are present wherever remembered; they never leave. Yet the physical heart still feels longing, for love is boundless. “Anything that has touched your Gurudev, keep it, for one day he or she will no longer be here. But you will treasure that it was her or his blessing.” “I am going to Mahesh… to Europe… but on the way, I saw you sitting here, so I stopped just to bless you.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The spiritual path requires unwavering dedication, not compromise. The science of Kriyā and all spiritual wisdom originates from Śiva, the one formless God who manifests as creation and, during Mahāpralaya, resolves all back into himself. Pure souls find refuge in Brahmaloka through devotion. The Vedas, given by Brahmā who received knowledge from Śiva, contain all principles; their essence is the Upaniṣads, the wisdom heard by disciples sitting near the master. A true seeker, with dispassion, drinks this nectar and finds everything else tasteless. Sanātana Dharma declares one God, Brahman; all other forms are manifestations of that light. In the Mahāśiva Purāṇa, Viṣṇu performed intense sādhanā, offering a thousand lotus flowers to Śiva while reciting a thousand names. One flower was missing. Śiva tested him, asking for his eye as replacement. As Viṣṇu prepared to pluck out his eye, Śiva stopped him, blessing him as Kamal Nayan for his unwavering resolve and granting him the Sudarśana Cakra to be used only when forgiveness is exhausted. This illustrates that God is a slave to his true devotees. We inherit this spiritual lineage; our role is to offer ourselves completely and serve all creatures with love. "Your sādhanā, your saṅkalpa is successfully fulfilled. From today onwards, Viṣṇu, you will be known as Kamal Nayan." "I am more devoted to my Bhaktas than Bhaktas are devoted to me. I am the slave of my Bhaktas." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Awake to the precious human opportunity for self-realization. The soul is consciousness. For countless lives it has slept, bound by the karma of the mind and body. This human life is a brief station. The train of time arrives and departs. Do not lose this chance in sleep and attachment. Self-realization is a brilliant sunrise of awareness, achieved through spiritual work, not mere idle sitting. Attachment to relations and possessions is ignorance and the cause of suffering, for nothing accompanies the soul at death. Only karma travels with you. Practice discrimination between the eternal and the temporary. Cultivate detachment through pure love, which is service without bondage. Live a happy life but do not suffer over what comes and goes. The awakened saints bring wisdom to guide all. The Guru's grace protects one from lower existences, but this grace is received through alertness and earnest practice. Value this body and time, for they are the instruments of liberation. Keep the body healthy with sattvic living and the mind alert through straight posture and sincere effort. "Get ready, awake, be alert, wake up, oh traveler! The train is coming, the train is going." "Nothing will go with us.

Healing through connection with Mother Earth and Udāsī Mauna. Walking barefoot in organic mud transfers minerals and vibrations from the earth into the body. This contact heals allergies and releases stress. Cow dung from grass-fed cows does not stink. Cow dung plaster combats asthma. The Agnihotra practice with that dung purifies air and prevents flu. A family’s allergies vanished after working barefoot at a cow farm. Daily barefoot meadow walking for five to ten minutes is recommended. Udāsī Mauna requires withdrawing inward for contemplation. One examines personal and impersonal problems. Understanding the situation prevents sadness. For impersonal problems, recognize the larger context. For personal problems, firmly resolve to change. Approach problems from the side, not head-on. Walking in nature with a mālā during Udāsī Mauna brings peace and clarity. Extreme sādhanā is not advisable; balance is necessary. Connection with nature circulates energy and refreshes. “Direct connection between Mother Earth and our skin, and many minerals… they transfer into our body.” “When you want to solve problems, first gain clarity.

The continuity of spiritual practice and the duty to teach are essential. The Kriyā we practice comes from a single, ancient source of cosmic consciousness. Our path, developed over decades, now has thousands of teachers worldwide, ensuring its continuity. Yoga is not seasonal; it must be continuous to multiply and help others. Practice without interruption is vital, as stopping blocks energy. Your dharma is to pass on the teachings before you depart. Practicing only for yourself limits and finishes it. Teaching others generates a spiritual percentage that returns to you, like interest. Neglecting to liberate ancestors through ceremony allows their spirits to interfere, causing life problems. Modern suffering stems from losing connection to this spiritual reality. Every element in creation has a purpose. By practicing and teaching, you clear karmic obstacles for yourself and ancestors, helping to turn Kali Yuga into Satya Yuga through future generations. "Your spirituality, your wisdom, is safe. But if you do not pass it on, it becomes blocked." "Nothing existing in this world, which God has made, is not useful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Guru Tattva is revealed as the essence of all existence. Brahman is the one seed, multiplying endlessly without losing its original quality. That life within is Ātmā. The soul carries this light into countless forms. Guru Tattva leads from darkness to light. The name Śrī points to inner happiness and prosperity. Śrī Guru is Ātmā, not the physical body. This Ātmā is Paramātmā. One who attains self-realization becomes Mahātmā, with equal vision for all. The opposite is Pāpātmā, a soul enslaved by senses. Sins bring prolonged suffering in hellish realms and rebirth as prey. Human life grants a chance to keep the ancient promise of non-violence. The prayer glorifies Guru Tattva as the indweller of every moving and unmoving being. It pervades like the sky, pure consciousness itself. This is the lamp of the Vedas, guiding toward the highest abode. The limited bodily existence is a frog’s tiny pond. Seek the endless ocean of Brahmaloka through satsaṅga. "Śrī Guru Ātmā Paramātmā ho Mahātmā Puruṣottama, Sakala jagat ke antaryāmī, charāchara kī ātmā." "Nabha rūpa vyāpī, vimala chetanā ātmā, Prabhu vimala chetana dhāma."

The moon's influence and astrology are tools on the path to self-knowledge. The moon profoundly affects the earth and all life. True astrology is a spiritual science of pure mathematics, not common commercial prediction. It requires deep discipline and practice. The human body is the essential vehicle for realization. One must care for it through proper food and lifestyle, avoiding intoxicants. The restless mind, like a monkey's tail, creates confusion and must not be followed. Filter all influences and remain on your disciplined path. The ultimate destination is Ātmā Jñāna—self-inquiry and realization. "Astrology, the jyotiṣa, is the third eye of God."

Satsaṅg is the highest shelter for spiritual development. Sādhanā is practice for inner purification, awakening positive energy and clarifying the intellect. Spiritual development fosters humility and simplicity, while worldly education often builds ego and creates a modern caste system of hierarchy and separation. True spirituality awakens compassion and mercy in the heart. It is unconditional love, seeing all as children of God. Selfless service, done without mention, is essential. Karmic pain requires a spiritual master, a surgeon for the soul. Non-duality sees the one Ātmā in all, ending conflict. A happy family, rooted in mutual love, is the foundation for a peaceful society. Spirituality unites; it does not divide. "The highest level is satsaṅg."

Human life requires understanding beyond mere physical existence. Daily spiritual practice is essential, like daily hygiene. Satsang defines human life; losing connection to it begins a decline. A true saint represents the supreme essence, not the physical form. All religious traditions ultimately stem from one source, like different suits from the same cloth. God is one, without name or form, yet a personal conception provides a necessary thread for the embodied soul to hold. Initiation from a true Guru merges the individual with the divine; self-made spirituality is insufficient. The flame of grace is constant, even as the human vessel changes. Respect the body and the spiritual identity given. Avoid negativity and criticism. Practice moderation in silence and self-inquiry, diving gently without force.

Yoga offers practices beneficial for eye and head health through specific postures and breathing techniques. Inverted postures direct blood and energy to the head, aiding mental functions and the eyes. These include forward bends, side bends, twists, balances, and mild inversions like Śaśāṅkāsana. Stronger inversions require caution and are unsuitable for high blood pressure or serious eye conditions like glaucoma. Prāṇāyāma techniques like the cooling Śītalī and balancing Nāḍī Śodhana also support eye health. Direct eye exercises train the ocular muscles, countering the strain of fixed focus, such as from computer use. A holistic approach combining these practices with a mindful lifestyle is essential. "These inverted exercises are really special because the blood and the energy, also the Prāṇa, flows to the head." "The best way to keep the body healthy is to use muscles and joints in a harmonious way. The same applies to these small muscles which move our eyeball." Filming location: Czech Republic

A mini yoga nidrā for the head and eyes, alongside holistic practices for vision. Relax consciously, seated or lying. Close your eyes, feel the breath, and relax the entire body. Direct attention to the head, relaxing the scalp muscles to release tension that causes headaches. Relax all facial muscles, releasing unconscious protective tension; let the face become as relaxed as a smiling baby's. Relax the forehead to relax the mind. Relax each eye, eyelid, eyebrow, and temple. Relax the nostrils, cheeks, ears, mouth, lips, and jaw. Feel complete relaxation in the face, head, and neck. This brief practice is a mini yoga nidrā for the head and eyes. Consider lifestyle: take breaks from screens, seek natural light and air, and eat fresh, sattvic vegetarian food for essential vitamins. Understand issues holistically; physical symptoms are indicators of deeper imbalances across our five bodies. For example, eyesight problems can relate to how we perceive ourselves and the world. The main technique is trāṭak: concentrating on a single object, like a candle flame or dot, with open eyes, then closing the eyes to observe any afterimage, to strengthen eyes and concentration. "Relax your forehead, and our mind relaxes." "Problems in our body are not the problem, but they are a symptom of a problem which is behind." Filming location: Czech Republic

The ornaments of the yogi are titikṣā, tyāga, and vairāgya. Success in life depends on self-discipline, not merely intellectual understanding. Many practice for years without change because they do not truly practice. We dwell too much in the external world, lacking inner awakening. Titikṣā is the strength to endure opposites like heat and cold; it is the practice of Haṭha Yoga and involves withdrawing the senses from external disturbances through śama and dama. Tyāga is the renunciation of inner attachments, not external possessions. Vairāgya is dispassion. Mastering these three brings perfection and pulls one out of depression. Humbleness is the crown of the saints. The intellect, when manipulated by concepts of "my," becomes the biggest problem. One must practice fasting and mauna, with necessary exemptions for health. "Titikṣā means to have the strength to endure: cold, heat, hunger, thirst, comfort, and discomfort." "Renounce—not your money. You need not renounce external things, but renounce inner feelings."

The four pillars of human life are dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa. Human life is for God-realization, not consumption. Yoga and Āyurveda, given freely by saints, sustain health of body, mind, and spirit. God gave freedom; negative emotions postpone divine grace. Misusing these sciences—commercializing or adulterating them—brings karmic retribution. Teaching authentically under spiritual lineage accrues good karma. Half-knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge. The sense of taste enslaves; overindulgence harms the body. Meat-eating entails killing, causing suffering to the creature’s family and violating God’s creation, thus sin. Such karma returns to the consumer. Human dharma is to grasp others’ suffering and avoid provoking negativity. Do not inspire harm; if unable to do good, at least do no evil with words, eyes, or stomach. Dharma protects those who uphold it. Artha is the material capacity to give and serve. Kāma, desire, must align with dharma. Mokṣa, liberation, follows from living dharmically. The body’s innate functions are Sanātana Dharma, universal and eternal. Yoga burns karma seeds, opening the curtain of limitation to see God. All religions are seeds within the Sanātana Dharma, the eternal umbrella. "Half-knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge." "If you can’t give nectar, don’t give poison."

The spiritual path is a narrow lane climbed in the dark night of ignorance. It requires the perfect balance of opposing forces, exemplified by Śiva, who balances negative and positive energies. Practice without devotion becomes mere powerless technique, like a car without fuel. Do not hurry or celebrate success prematurely, for the path is slippery and full of deep holes. The distance to realization is vast, but through grace it becomes the internal journey of awakening the chakras within one's own body. Walk slowly and carefully, sustained by devotion and the Guru's mercy, avoiding the attractive melodies of the senses which lead one astray. "Just technique is nothing. Your car is perfect in order, but two things are missing: battery and petrol, that’s it." "Walk carefully, slowly. If you master this, if you come out of the street, before that, these 25 will sing you Mohanī Rāga, a melody which will attract you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The spiritual path is a razor's edge. Fasting purifies body, mind, and consciousness, removing hidden toxins and preventing disease. Negative energies accumulate through touch, food, and company, creating layers of anger, greed, and selfishness. Only constant remembrance of the divine can cleanse these layers. Human birth is a rare opportunity; failing to use it means falling back into suffering. Yoga is not sport or body culture; it brings physical, mental, social, and spiritual balance. The tongue and desires are hardest to master; a stick of discipline is necessary. Day by day, stone by stone, devotion must grow, not diminish. Avoid negative associations; they undo years of effort. The body is temporary; all great warriors have turned to dust. In this age, even food and air are polluted; discipline is urgent. Fasting and silence are highest practices yet most neglected. True seekers accept strict rules, like those in a rigorous retreat. Do not dream of being special; simply serve creation. Before the great dissolution, merge into Brahman through Guru’s grace. This is the aim. "It is said the bhakti and spiritual path is like the sharpness of a knife, and on that you have to walk." "Fasting has a great effect on your physical health, your mental health, your spiritual health, and your intellect." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Life is given to achieve a spiritual goal. Everything in the world changes: people, minds, feelings, and relations. The foundation for the future life is built now. Many problems arise because principles are not followed. One must concentrate on the spiritual aim and utilize what is learned. Following holy literature is the personal constitution for life. Most difficulties originate from within, often from an inability to say no to oneself. Change brings suffering. Inner contentment and decision should never change. Looking universally, nothing changes, as all belongs to you and you belong to all. This is the unchanging foundation. "Every change brings suffering." "The foundation for the future is lying here now." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The living earth witnesses the descent of holy incarnations and the Guru’s grace that liberates. Every grain of sand is living; cosmic consciousness is directed here because all souls inhabit this mortal world. Time to time, cosmic light manifests as incarnations. Only those with an opened Anāhata Cakra can truly sing their glory. Rare bhaktas recognize what the Gurudev is; others remain blind. Saints are diamonds hidden in dust; the earth survives through them. Two kinds of Satguru exist: one incarnates as the holy master, one attains through long sādhanā. Birth and death are duḥkha; saints liberate souls from that suffering. Without truthfulness, no technique purifies. Darśan removes sorrow and vikāras; even Yama cannot approach a true bhakta. Without the Satguru, none can cross the ocean of saṃsāra, not even avatāras. The Guru principle is Parabrahma, higher than Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśa. The birth of Jesus reveals Mother Mary’s pain, giving birth in an animal’s shelter, abandoned. A mother’s love is sacred; therefore ahiṃsā is the highest dharma. Christmas is the time to forgive, build friendship, and cease fighting. “Baḍā ho bhāg un deś ra, jahāṅ satguru līlā avatār.” “Sāch binā sudre nahī.” Filming location: Czech Republic

The threefold path of service refines spiritual practice. Updating understanding is necessary, yet human weakness compromises habits. Service, or seva, manifests in three forms. The first is selfish service, performed for a higher price or expectation. The second is balanced service, where one sustains a livelihood while dedicating a portion selflessly. The third and highest is selfless service, performed with no expectation. This niṣkāma sevā benefits three parties: the server, the donor, and the recipient. True charity gives without conditions or later claims. Service is a great sādhanā, erasing tiredness. It requires love, knowledge, and discipline to remain within its purpose. Small, kind actions constitute seva. Control speech, as harsh words wound permanently. Through selfless service, all spiritual practices are fulfilled. "Not for the two seconds of working on your car—for that I will not charge you anything. I charge for my knowledge, for knowing how." "I only beg for your one mercy: Janam Janam Hari Dās Rakhi Jo. In my every life, please let me be thy servant." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The eternal victory of Mahāsamādhi marks the triumph over death, granted solely to self-realized souls. While bhaktas grieve, the liberated one rejoices. Mahāprabhujī is not confined to any place. Presence manifests where devotees sing the divine name. The master purifies the accumulated impurities of countless lives. The supreme wealth bestowed is self-knowledge, not material gain. After attaining self-realization, the mind may become arrogant. That is merely the first step; further discipline is required. True communion is found in the breath through constant remembrance. Criticizing any saint or tradition ensures suffering. All religions deserve reverence. The realized master traverses all realms, assisting those who call sincerely. Divine beings endure severe trials to deliver eternal truth. Devotion must be steady, not temporary. The ultimate teaching is that the Lord dwells everywhere, even as one’s own essence. Real riches cannot be purchased; they must be received through grace. “When I was born, people were very happy and I was crying. But when I go, people will cry and I will be happy.” “I am not living in Vaikuṇṭha, nor in the heart of a yogī who meditates all the time. I am there where my bhaktas sing the glory of my name.”

Reflect on non-violence and peace through the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi. His life demonstrated that freedom and change are achieved through non-violence, not force. He awakened consciousness toward environmental protection and harmony. An eternal flame burns at his memorial, inscribed with his final word, a call to the divine. The past century witnessed great suffering and war, yet his philosophy of brotherhood succeeded. The United Nations declares his birthday the International Day of Non-Violence. Violence manifests in many forms: physical, mental, and social. True peace begins within the individual heart. Politics, originally a system of protection and ethics established by sages, has often deviated from its purpose. When leaders lose spiritual discipline and succumb to selfishness, they abandon non-violence. Producing and selling weapons plants the roots of violence. The most powerful weapons are our words and thoughts, which can be destructive or divine. If these weapons are not used, peace will prevail. Do not return stone for stone; answer with a flower. Inaction in the face of destruction is also violence; one must serve and help. Protect wildlife, forests, and natural seeds. Greed destroys nature, for the Earth provides for need, not greed. Commercial exploitation threatens the environment and future generations. Educating children in love, respect, and protection of nature is essential; this duty traditionally belongs to mothers. Women possess the power to transform society through their resolve. A nation is adorned by the virtuous, the saintly, and the heroic. Build the foundation for the future in the present moment.

Care for the Rudrākṣa and apply yoga for women's health. A Rudrākṣa worn on the body must be kept where a living human is present within 24 hours, not with only animals. Weekly or monthly, offer it melted ghee to purify negative energies. Perform a water washing each Monday and apply sandalwood paste. Do not leave it alone in a closed room beyond a day, as it may disappear or lose its energy. Different types exist, like the five-faced for balancing elements or the one-faced representing Śiva. These are aids for prevention. Health maintenance through prevention is superior to treatment. Yoga and Āyurveda serve as prevention. If illness occurs, utilize all available treatments to remain healthy, for a healthy life is enjoyable, while an ill life is mere suffering. Specific yoga postures support female health across life stages. For puberty, Marjārī, Vyāgrāsana, and Meruakaraṇāsana help regulate cycles and ease pain by compressing the pelvic area. During pregnancy, Māṇḍūkī āsana prepares the body for labor by aiding hip joints and the pelvic floor. After childbirth, practices strengthening the pelvic floor, like Setu Āsana, are essential. For menopause, āsanas such as Yoga Mudrā and Viparīta Karanī Mudrā support hormonal function and circulation. Skandarāsana and Uṣṭrāsana effectively strengthen the pelvic floor muscles throughout life. "If you do not wear it on your body, you can also keep it at home. However, that Rudrākṣa which you wear around your neck, if you keep it at home, should be kept in a place where, within 24 hours, some living human being is present—not a cat or dog." "Prevention is much better than treatment. Yoga is practiced as prevention." Filming location: Slovakia

Health encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions, with illness arising from various causes including diet, negative emotions, and deep-seated fears. Some ailments are transient, while others develop from long-term imbalances. Fixed ideas can manifest as psychosomatic illness, as illustrated by the story of the man convinced he swallowed a frog; his cure came only when a yogi staged its removal. Subtle energies from blessed objects like specific stones, Rudrākṣa beads, or natural symbols such as a one-eyed coconut or a right-turning conch can influence well-being. Authenticity matters, as with Rudrākṣa, which should sink in water. These items, like a wedding ring, can act as protective symbols. Health is foundational, requiring conscious care of the body and mind. "Certain diseases—mental problems, cancer problems, and many, many other physical problems—have a long cause from the long past." "So you see, where you have wrong ideas, fixed ideas? No one can help you." Filming location: Slovakia

Health originates beyond the physical body, rooted in consciousness and karma. Illness arises from deep causes over time. Negative emotions like anger and jealousy act as internal fires, destroying health. Ego and greed, nourished by hatred, block positive energy. Fear weakens willpower and vitality, allowing disease to manifest. Hereditary conditions carry ancestral influences. Consuming meat ingests the fear and pain of the killed animal. Destiny also affects body, mind, and soul. The individual soul carries the burden of personal karma and the vibrational waves of ancestors' karma, which may affect many generations. Human life, endowed with intellect and loving mercy, is the opportunity to resolve these karmic debts. Traditional prayers and ceremonies, especially during specific lunar cycles, directly aid ancestral souls and dispel personal fear. Modern disconnection from protective cultural practices increases illness. True health is achieved through conscious development of body, mind, and soul. "Anger is a kind of fire. This fire destroys our healthy cells and healthy organs in the body." "When fear appears, then we lose our willpower, our strength. At that time, our old cells of the body begin to sink."

Yoga in life develops health, concentration, and spirituality. Health is in our hands through three principles. First, diet must be seasonal and suited to the local climate, not dictated by global availability or artificial tastes. Overeating shortens life; disciplined, timely eating preserves it. Second, practice is personal and systematic, not competitive. Movement awakens hidden energies, but forcing advanced postures without harmony harms the body. One must feel united with each movement. Third, discipline is non-negotiable, especially in controlling eating and maintaining practice. Inner peace, happiness, and freedom are realized within through meditation and deep relaxation. The external world is restless; peace is found by diving into the calm depths of one's own consciousness. This dive requires the mantra as essential support. God is with everyone, present in all traditions. Different spiritual paths ultimately lead to the same divine goal. Commitment must be complete, not partial; practice with discipline and confidence to extract life's full essence. "According to the law of nourishment, the less we eat, the longer we will live and the healthier we will be." "Peace is not outside. In the external world, there has always been restlessness."

A celebration of Kṛṣṇa’s birthday brings teachings on child care, resilience, and yoga in daily life. In child care, have the baby face the mother in a car to avoid fear. Carrying a baby in a cloth requires proper knowledge to prevent suffocation. Common sense and elder wisdom must guide these practices. A story prepared with children illustrates the journey of life. In a faraway village, Mohan and Maya were born poor but grateful. They received school sponsorship from a visiting couple. An earthquake killed their parents, but they survived on the way to school. Faith in God is the sure refuge in sorrow. The couple adopted them and brought them to a new country. Maya struggled to accept a new mother, vowing never to replace her own. She realized her deep love for her brother Mohan. Mohan’s good conduct and willingness to help led to keeping a rescued dog. By helping others, one helps oneself. The children later taught their friends yoga in daily life. Do not let problems stop you; keep faith and continue with duties. Children are the culture of tomorrow, needing natural education in ethics and spirituality. “Children are the culture of tomorrow, the light of spirituality. In whichever direction children go, in that direction the nation will go.” “Be good to all people and help others; by helping others, you help yourself as well.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The inner field requires ceaseless cultivation. The farmer removes rocks of pride and ego, leaving holes of uncertainty and doubt. Thorns of clinging qualities stick despite care. Weeds of mental infection—doubt, laziness, hopelessness—reappear. These deep roots may survive lifetimes. Sādhanā begins, but the field is never fully clean without constant vigilance. Purify the body through ṣaṭ kriyās—Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, netī, dhautī, bastī, trāṭaka, kapālabhāti. Eat sattvic food: vegetables, fruits, garlic to thin the blood for prāṇāyāma, chili to induce cooling sweat, spices to sustain glandular health. Chew mukvās of anise, sesame, cardamom, clove to aid digestion and freshen breath. Such inner cleansing reflects outwardly. The field of heart and consciousness is plowed with gentle dharma. Sow the seed Oṁ. Water it with bhakti. Dayā, mercy, is the root of dharma; without it, sin’s foundation of abhimāna, pride, takes hold. Follow the guru’s instructions unfailingly. Guard the growing crop from the birds of bad association and neglect. At harvest, wisdom ripens. One brings it to the market of satsaṅg, where speech shines like pearls. The secret is discipline and the guru’s grace. Rare saints recognize this adbhuta rūpa, the indescribable form. Remove lust, anger, pride, greed, and envy. “Dayā dharma kā mūla hai, pāpa kā mūla abhimāna.” “Kāma, krodha, mada, lobha nihāro, īrṣā choḍo bhakta janā.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Gaṇeśa is the foundational principle of intelligence and stability, governing the root of being. A solid foundation prevents disturbance from emotional or physical imbalances. This principle, called Śubha or Maṅgala, signifies auspiciousness and success in all beginnings. It is honored through rituals that establish sweetness and blessings, fostering good relations. Gaṇeśa as a protector guards against negative energies. Divine incarnations manifest to restore balance, appearing when negativity culminates, yet destruction is ultimately born from one's own inner deeds. Spiritual practice involves cultivating positive energy and mercy. "Gaṇeśa is the Lord of all these Gaṇas, the Supreme." "It is not I who am killing them, destroying them. It is their inner thoughts and deeds that are killing them." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Brahma Vidyā teaches sustainable living as continuous divine creation. The God-made world is perfect, giving all that is needed. True sustainability is continuity, not economic smoothness. The man-made world destroys nature and cannot self-repair. Humanity has become one-sided, losing diverse practical skills. Knowledge of seasonal cooking is lost, causing widespread illness. Eating out of season and using central heating disrupts the body’s natural balance. Cold drinks with warm meals confuse the digestive fire. Outsourcing memory to devices weakens natural recall. Brahma Kriyā purifies the inner instrument and removes obstructions. Practice the kriyā slowly, focusing on the solar plexus with the mantra Śivo’ham. This awakens the Maṇipūra Chakra, activating the body’s self-healing factory. Yoga regenerates glands and hormones, restoring harmony. Relearn cooking with correct spices to support this renewal. Detach from emotional ties to possessions and habits. Love all creatures to create heaven here. Let consciousness steadily move toward the divine light. "Sustainability means continuity. Nothing is blocked." "Mother’s hands cook the food. Even a twenty-star hotel cannot replace it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Summer seminar in Strilky with Swami Gajanand. In the Mandukya Upanishad it is said: OM is this imperishable Word. OM is the Universe, and this is the exposition of OM. The past, the present and the future, all that was, all that is, all that will be, is OM. Likewise all else that may exist beyond the bounds of time, that too is OM. All this Universe is the Eternal Brahman, this Self is the Eternal, and the Self is fourfold. There are different levels of the consciousness we go through every day like waking, dreaming and sleeping. Everything is included in the letters AUM and it means: every existence is Om.

Compassion and true knowledge form the essential spiritual path. The current age presents many disturbances where only divine remembrance offers hope. The specific form of spiritual practice is less important than its essence, as divisions are human creations. Compassion is fundamental, as all life shares the same consciousness. Killing any creature is a grave act, for animals feel fear and pain. True Ayurveda is a pure science of sattva, not advocating meat, which is tamasic. Authentic knowledge is rare and requires direct, humble engagement with nature's healing qualities. Do not be misled by mixed or incomplete teachings. Your spiritual energy is recharged through correct practice, pure diet, and non-violence. "All creatures are my Self. Every ātmā is Paramātmā." "Eat grains that grow in the field, nuts, honey, and milk. You will not be ill." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The sacred science of Devanāgarī is explained. Devanāgarī means "divine citizens"; each letter is a mātṛkā, a mother-energy of Divine Śakti. Repeating the alphabet is japa that purifies the nervous system and fulfills wishes. Swāmījī teaches it as the speech of the astral world, a code from Śiva’s ḍamaru at creation. An akṣara is immortal; spoken it is mantra, written it is yantra—the universe is created from these sounds and dissolves back. During mahāpralaya, the five elements exist only in their sound-forms. The alphabet comprises 49 letters matching directions, wind gods, and chakra lotuses. Vowels, Svara, resonate as consciousness, Śiva; they are basis for bīja mantras. A is absolute consciousness, I is willpower, U is the primal sound nāda. Long vowels carry intensified Śakti; long Ī is the Divine Mother. Ṛ is the seed of fire and dharma; Ḹ represents earth, joy, and devotion. Derived vowels join qualities: E is harmony, O is the cosmic syllable Oṃ, Ai is intelligence, Au is eternal consciousness. The sixteen vowels mirror moon phases; Chandra Bindu grants fullness. Consonants, Vyañjana, are Śakti giving form; half-consonants ya, ra, la, va, ha are bījas for chakras and elements. The Sa sounds relate to prāṇa and guṇas: śa is peace, ṣa stimulation, sa unity; ha is the exhaling sun. From A to Ha with M forms Aham, the ever-united Śiva-Śakti. In Mantra Puruṣa, vowels form the head, consonants the limbs, half-consonants tissues, and Sa sounds prāṇa—the body as sound. "It is said that when we repeat the alphabet from the beginning to the end, we achieve success and our wishes will come true." "Vowels embody the quality of Śiva — pure consciousness — while consonants embody Śakti — creative energy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice of chanting Om is an attunement to an eternal vibration. Om is never created; it exists always as the root vibration of all creation. Chanting merely imitates this real, divine sound. Through imitation, contact with the ever-present Om arises. Even without chanting, Om pervades; stillness reveals it. This is Nada Yoga—listening to the inherent divine sound. Mantra is not a physical object transferred from guru to disciple. Initiation means awakening to the mantra already within you. The master gives awareness and technique to activate that inner treasure. Mantra practice purifies mind and accumulated karmas. Purification resembles cleaning a long-neglected attic: old dirt and forgotten memories surface. The confrontation is individual and often difficult. Persistent practice leads to inner bliss, Saccidānanda, without external cause. The core relationship to purify is with the Guru. The Guru is not a limited physical body but Guru Tattva, consciousness everywhere. Realize the inner Guru, present before any thought. “Oṃ is a reality. Every true original mantra is a divine vibration pervading the universe at all times.” “Mananāt trāyate iti mantraḥ—that which, when constantly contemplated, liberates the mind.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Oṁ is the primordial sound and origin of all creation, visualized as a sacred symbol containing the universe. Its form, revealed in meditation, integrates the Sanskrit letters A, U, and M. These represent the divine trinity and the three universal qualities. The central point, or bindu, is Śiva as the self-manifesting source, from which all solar systems and elements arise. Śiva appears in twelve places as Jyotirliṅgas—pillars of light. Śakti is the feminine creative energy in all things, not a gender concept. Māyā is the illusion of separateness and ignorance causing suffering; it is dispelled by the wisdom of oneness. True wealth is inner wisdom, which cannot be taken away. The ongoing construction of an Oṁ monument embodies this universal creation. "Oṁ is the origin. Everything began with that sound." "Your wisdom is your Lakṣmī, your wealth. What is in your knowledge, no one can take away." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
