Service requires meticulous care for both instruments and integrity in charitable work. Broadcasting teachings globally necessitates translation technology, allowing many languages to be accessed. Instruments are sensitive and require dedicated, skilled persons for maintenance to ensure longevity. Financial support for aid is managed with strict transparency; funds are distributed through formal channels solely for their designated purposes, such as supporting children orphaned by pandemic. This principled approach ensures honesty in all actions, extending care to humans, animals, and the natural world. Work proceeds with clarity, without impropriety. "The instruments are very, very sensitive. That is very, very important. Then they will last for long years." "We never do anything improper. We are very, very, very clear and good."

Food is God, and eating is a sacred, sensory communion. Eating is not merely filling the stomach; it is receiving nourishment that pleases the eyes and reaches every part of the body. We should eat with our hands to truly taste, connecting like a mother feeding her child. Always wash hands before and after. Food is God; we are receiving it. Do not eat quickly. Chew each bite at least twenty-five times to know its true taste, allowing the stomach to prepare. The smell alone triggers digestion. Many have forgotten to pray before eating. We must eat peacefully and well, without talking excessively. Animals do not chew; humans must. Pure nourishment is our real medicine. Eat good food, but not too much. The taste and hormones come from the mouth. Eat first, then talk. "Food is God. We say: food is God. We are taking the food; we are not just eating it." "If you eat the meat, then eat only meat. You are eating ice cream, coffee, chai, this, that, chapatis, and meat... Then you are not a human." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A prāṇāyāma technique is given. Perform twenty-five inhalations and exhalations through the left nostril. Then perform twenty-five through the right nostril, breathing a little more deeply. Rest briefly. Then practice alternate-nostril breathing. Inhale through the left and exhale through the right for five cycles. Then inhale through the right and exhale through the left for twenty-five cycles. Rest. Next, perform ten cycles of inhaling left and exhaling right, followed by ten cycles of inhaling right and exhaling left. Upon completion, lie down. Afterwards, sit in Vajrāsana and perform the Brahmrī technique seven times. Chant "Om" five times from the navel. "All that you are practicing about this anuloma, viloma, all practicing through the nostrils, left, right, everything." "Chant 'Om' five times from the navel, leaving a deep breath."

Life is governed by the natural order of the moon, sun, and water. The moon's movement directly influences our inner being and balances the Earth. Water is life itself, essential for all beings and the land. Modern interference with natural rhythms causes suffering. Changing clocks disrupts animals and human practices. Consuming fruits from opposing climates introduces conflicting energies and can cause illness. Aligning with natural cycles is crucial for health and harmony. The Guru's grace is the essential guide on this path. "Life is very connected to the moon." "Water is life. Life is water." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sādhanā is a universal path requiring sincere practice, not mere labels. It is not only for sannyāsīs, as many become lazy, claiming greatness from their robes alone. True sannyāsīs serve the Guru and others. Householders, like farmers who work while repeating mantras, are also great sādhus, sustaining life through selfless giving. Modern life, with its chemicals and weak foods, has strayed from a natural, healthy existence rooted in the earth. Our practice is not just āsana; it involves living rightly, not taking too much from Mother Earth, and calming the inner waves of disturbance. All energies and chakras lie within. Practice depends on your own effort, not status. Satsaṅg provides the power to proceed. The goal is to become calm and unified. "All sādhanās we are doing are only the path. But Guru Seva means the final step on the path." "If you are a sannyāsī, then work hard, walk with your feet, give something." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The essence of all spiritual paths is one, though names and forms differ. In this age, humanity knows of conflict and war, yet the unifying difference now is spirituality. Whether called yoga, prayer, or meditation, the core is the same. Languages and nations vary, but the human essence and the teachings are one. Various centers and temples bear different names, just as children in a village each receive a unique name, yet all are human. One should not claim exclusivity for a single path or teacher. Many beautiful trees exist in many forests; all share in oneness. The physical body is transient, but the name based on one's deeds endures. We must welcome all, respecting every guest and tradition as part of the same human family. True yoga is not merely physical exercise but the prāṇa and spirit within. The name is immortal, while the form is not. "One in all and all in one." "The name is immortal. The body is not immortal." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Surrender to the guru is the path to grace, and stories are vessels for truth. We are not the doer; all action belongs to the guru. We surrender our capacity at the holy feet. An object, like carved stone, is transformed through consecration and placement upon the altar; it becomes divine through worship. Offer what you can from inner devotion. The guru's grace precedes our birth, and there are many true gurus. Do not judge them. A story was told of a poor man who asked a great sage four questions but was given only three answers for others' problems. By selflessly conveying the solutions—which revealed treasure and led to a marriage—his own poverty was resolved. Your word has power; speak with care, for what you declare takes form. Truth resides within, and a story is that inner store of experience. Learn through crafting tales from your own life. "First, give your answers. And he said, 'Only three questions.' And these three were the answer for your fourth." "The story is in you. So every day before going to sleep, have a story for yourself." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The soul's journey and the true purpose of yoga extend beyond physical exercise. We are more than this temporary body. The soul, the ātmā, is our essence. After death, it leaves the body like the wind, unseen and untouchable. Its destination is unknown; it does not remain as a ghost in trees. Our physical suffering may relate to past actions, but we should be good to all. Yoga in daily life is for holistic well-being, yet its ultimate aim is spiritual, guiding the soul. The soul may merge like a drop into the vast ocean. Do not fear death or unseen phenomena. We are all interconnected here and now. "One in all and all in one; we are all one and all He." "Yoga in daily life. We practice every day for the good of our body and our well-being." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The bhajan reveals the nature of Amṛta, the nectar of light. Understanding is knowing Amṛta, which is liberation. Amṛta is the sweetest honey, an ocean of pure light. The Supreme is the great giver, Mahādānī, radiating this nectar everywhere. The immortal story echoes across the world. Only the guru's grace can grant this. Offering food to the divine makes it prasād, which is amṛt. Take little, give more to others. Touch food with impure hands and negative energy spreads. A guru once received a precious offering and immediately gave it to a poor person, showing oneness. The bhajan calls to the satguru to awaken from the darkness of ignorance. Seekers plead for the guru's presence to fulfill their wishes. See sweetness in all beings and places. The guru's blessings are eternal and ever-present. The guru's words, warmth, and love remain forever. The essence is guru's grace alone, without which nothing is attained. This grace transforms even unhappiness into divine purpose. "Prakāśa puñja amṛta ke sāgara, Śrī Dīpa Hari Mahādānī, sāre viśva meṁ guñja rahā, Prabhu kī amara kahānī." "Guru Kṛpā he kevalam." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The grace of simple things is found in nature's gifts. The cow provides profound benefits. Its milk, urine, and dung serve as powerful medicines and fertilizer. Contact with cows can heal bodily diseases. Their presence purifies an environment, dispelling negative energies. Similarly, the horse is a holy being with protective qualities. Our relationship to food defines our purity. Ancient staples like rice cooked in milk as khīr are sacred and healthy. Processing removes nutrients. One must understand the potency of spices like saffron. Eating fresh food together as a family is vital. Do not consume old leftovers or slaughtered meat, which is a dead body. Killing for food creates impurity. Historical figures like Buddha, who embodied perfect knowledge, practiced non-violence and never ate meat. Fasting periodically, eating less, and aligning meals with nature's rhythm are keys to health. Modern habits of overconsumption and waste destroy the earth. "Where the cow is, there is no ghost." "You are all Buddha because you have perfect knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The spirit of the ashram is one of shared welcome and inner reflection. This is a holy, divine place offering an unbelievable feeling in the heart and mind. Anyone who comes is welcome as a child of the mother and father. The atmosphere is beautiful, with trees, lakes, and a temple. It is not my ashram nor your ashram; it belongs to everyone. Life is given by God and will finish, so we must think within ourselves. The principle is to give, not only to take. When you are a sādhu, you have given everything. All who come should be provided food, water, and shelter. The practice involves āsanas and meditation, but above that is the inner life. We must be humble and serve, like washing the feet of disciples. We will all die, so possess nothing. "Anyone comes, give water." "This is neither my ashram nor your ashram."

A vision for expanding authentic yoga teaching rooted in spiritual conduct. The practice must reach every village and country, requiring many teachers. Authentic yoga is spiritual, distinct from secular institutions. A true yoga university prohibits substances like meat and alcohol. Learn quickly to obtain a proper certificate. Teachers will be given freedom, but not license; control remains to preserve integrity. The work is to connect all places under this umbrella. The aim is to teach properly, with care, as one in all and all in one. "Yogīs have given the yoga teachers; that is the reality." "Freedom does not mean that now you will go and do everything. No. One in all, and all in one." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The name given at birth should align with the celestial constellation present at that moment. The moment of birth is defined when the child touches the earth. The sun and moon are primary, but all nine celestial bodies determine the constellation. This constellation dictates the first letter of the name, which is crucial for well-being. The specific language or full name is secondary; the foundational first letter must correspond. This is a cosmic science upheld by tradition. Neglecting this alignment is why problems arise. We are individual drops, but together we form a great river in service. The guru and disciple become one through this understanding. "The first letter name should go." "Take your name according to the constellation." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The divine is found in daily life, relationships, and our own hearts. We must offer positive words to the Earth and all life. The mantra and ceremonies are for complete purification of body and mind. Marriage is a profound union, yet often leads to strife because it is entered without proper prayer and discernment. Girls pray to trees for harmonious husbands, while boys are less expressive. Parents traditionally seek good matches through astrology and family lineage, though modern practices like dowries create problems. Governments try to regulate marriage finances, but new issues arise. True married life should be peaceful and helpful, becoming like mother and father. We must serve our parents and love our children. I have not seen God with my eyes. God is in our heart. Our mother, father, and Gurujī are our God. Every being has God within. To feel God, cultivate pure qualities, give freedom, and avoid causing suffering. Do not judge others' practices like diet. Protect those who are suffering. Life, trees, and the Earth are divine. We may find God in all things. "God is in our heart. You all have God." "Something is born is already God. That’s very important to know." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The primordial sound is the supreme reality, manifesting as form and pervading all creation. This sound, emerging first from the cosmic ocean, is eternal and present in every age through divine manifestations. All beings, from humans to trees and insects, contain this inner sound, which is their connection to the divine source. The Earth is the universal mother, unconditionally nurturing all her children. One must cultivate a direct relationship with her by touching clean soil and keeping earth in the home. Physical connection to the mother, such as sitting directly on the ground, balances the body's energies and prepares one for meditation. The mother's love is the foundation of life, knowledge, and family harmony, reflecting the inseparable unity of the divine masculine and feminine principles. "Nāda rūpa parabrahma. That sound is God." "Mother Earth said, 'My child, don’t touch me.' I will be completely burned." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Great ṛṣis and saints exist unseen, protecting humanity. These perfected beings are present globally, often hidden in remote places like glaciers or deserts. They communicate mind-to-mind and possess profound knowledge. While invisible, their protective energy shields us. Historical accounts, like a photo of a meditating ascetic under a glacier, attest to their existence. Their influence spans eras and continents, with cultural connections found worldwide, such as Hanumān statues in Mexico. We live in a time where negative forces are strong, but these ṛṣis counteract them with their radiant energy. True spirituality recognizes the divine in all traditions without criticism. Judging others as "good" or "bad" primarily reflects our own inner state. A spiritual master, like a surgeon, works to cleanse our inner impurities without rejection. Our nature is to help, just as a scorpion's nature is to sting. "There are very great ṛṣis, saints. They are protecting us." "His nature is to sting, and my nature is to bring him out and leave him."

Guru Pūrṇimā is a spiritual new year, marking when the light of wisdom first touched the earth. This festival is for understanding the Guru Tattva, the principle of the teacher. Spirituality requires understanding, not just belief; one must ask "why." The guru is that which dispels ignorance, the "aha" of realization. This principle exists in many forms, like fire exists in many flames. It is not confined to a single body but is the precious consciousness within it. Physical proximity is not necessary; connection is a matter of heart and mind. The challenge is to endure on the path beyond initial inspiration, to continue steadfastly like the turtle. The goal is to absorb and preserve the divine energy received, becoming saturated by it like a wooden spoon in honey. The paramount spiritual connection is the lineage, the paramparā. The Guru Tattva itself is the highest principle. "Guru Tattva is, I always joke, something like an 'aha!' phenomenon." "Only when our heart and our brain are in harmony will our life be successful."

The language of oneness transcends spoken words. Many scriptures and languages exist, yet spirituality reveals a universal oneness. We learn through gaze and feeling, not just vocabulary. The best language is understood by all, like music or song, where sound vibration creates unity. We do not know God's name or voice, but in our heart, all humans know there is some God. Even saying "no God" speaks to that understanding. Language is only the outer side; the feeling is the true language. When words fail, we understand through hands, eyes, and silence. From life's mixture, we seek purity and oneness. In a hall, a little stone can represent the silence that unites us. This silentness is oneness. In contrast, a noisy festival is different. You are happy and need nothing. "The best language is when people from many countries, each with their own language, suddenly all understand." "In our heart, all humans know there is some God."

Our path is one of unity, transcending all borders and differences. This gathering is an international family, interconnected like branches of a single tree. A seed grows into a tree that bears fruit for all. Yet, a single drop of lemon can split milk, just as one divisive person can disrupt harmony. Unity is the foundation. Travel reveals that good people and traditions exist everywhere, though appearances differ. Our shared spiritual practice and teachings fill every cell of our being. We must respect all paths while remaining steadfast in our own, free from attachment. The work of dedicated disciples across the world sustains this growth. "One in all and all in one." "Attachment should never be." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path of sannyāsa in this age requires work and self-reliance. It is not an easy life of dependence. One must labor, perhaps in a garden or farm, to generate funds for personal security, such as for medical care or old age. This work also serves the collective good. True sannyāsīs should not be like those who merely sit and do nothing; they must practice sādhanā and contribute harmoniously. The necessary financial support comes from the dedicated work of all disciples. The global mission expands through such sincere service, bringing peace and yoga to many lands. "Even if you are a sannyāsī, you have to work. Anything can happen—you might have an accident and need to go to the hospital." "We do very good for all, not only for ourselves or for our families, but for everyone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A temple is built day by day, stone by stone through shared contribution, creating a timeless legacy. What is done in life remains; what is not done vanishes. We celebrate the completion of a unique Yajña Śālā, thanking all who contributed. The work was hard, but the result serves all. Credit and divine mercy belong to everyone collectively. "Day by day, stone by stone. We will also do it one by one." "The name remains, not the body. What we have not done vanishes like dust." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Grace manifests through the living Master. A personal journey from illness to healing began with a yoga class discovered by following the heart. This led to a community where humble service and devotional singing created a profound first impression. The living Master's work has grown into a vast tree whose seeds are the disciples. Each person must become a living example of love and tolerance, spreading the message as a healing medicine for the world. Inner peace realized within contributes to global healing. The presence of the living Master is essential to cross the ocean of illusion. This gathering reaffirms the good fortune of being connected to this lineage and light. "Every one of us should be an example: an example in love, in understanding, in respect, in tolerance." "Without a living master, without this presence of that light, without a real fire, how will we make a fire of our candle, of our flame?" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Sannyāsa Dīkṣā ceremony on Guru Pūrṇimā unfolds through ritual offerings, prayers, and vows of renunciation. A flower is handed to the initiate with instruction to put it in the fire. An assistant guides, “Give it in his hand, with dakṣiṇā, kuś.” The initiate prays for forgiveness of sins and attainment of pure devotion at the Sadguru’s feet. The seeker addresses the Guru, wishing to receive Guru Dīkṣā and lead a sannyāsa life of God’s austerity. Someone prompts to speak the full name if unknown to the Guru, and to place oneself at the Guru’s feet. The seeker pleads for sannyāsa initiation and asks for the prayer to be explained once more. English guidance follows: “Say that today I give everything, I make sannyās, I separate from mother and father, and I know today I give everything.” The initiate declares, “Now I am a Sannyāsī, my name is Swāmī Gyāneśwar Purī from the Czech Republic.” The phrase “Aftam Burujit Om Śānti” is repeated, then “So you will get it.” The Guru places a coconut, gives sādhanā, and says, “Today I give you this sādhanā, and you, my śiṣya.” Rice is sprinkled on the head little by little, three times. Attendants state that Dīkṣā is given for devotion at the feet of Paramātmā. The mantra question “Dī banā diyā, kyā mantra terā” is answered: “Oṁ Sohaṁ Śrī Deva Puruṣa Mahādevāya Namaḥ.” Discussing dakṣiṇā, the initiate has no cash but will give later from his office; 1500 rupees to the paṇḍits. For the final fire offering, the initiate stands, puts both hands in, and throws the offering when signaled. The ceremony ends with victory shouts: “Bhana Kī Jai... Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai!” “Abhī jo bhī vyakti hai, wo āpse prārthanā kareṅge, ke mai is jīvan ke aṅdar jitne bhī pāp karmoṁ hue haiṁ, pāp karmoṁ kī nistār ke liye, aur Sadguru ke caraṇoṁ meṁ akhaṇḍa nirmal bhaktī kī prāpti ke liye.” “My mantra, ‘Oṁ Sohaṁ Śrī Deva Puruṣa Mahādevāya Namaḥ.’” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is one universal path originating from the divine. Many great masters have taught it under different names and forms, yet all lead to the same goal. The essence is not merely physical exercise or intellectual knowledge but a journey toward the cosmic Self. All traditions and teachers who bring peace and harmony are valid. Human differences in appearance, thought, or tradition are natural, but the underlying unity is fundamental. The practice requires internal purification of the mind, not just discussion. Techniques like neti and dhoti are practical means for this cleansing. Dedication and surrender make everything possible on this path. "Everyone's yoga is good." "Dirty water has to be purified. This means we should remain in yoga and purify our mind." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The sādhanā of purification prepares one for the bridge built by the Divine Name. Guru Pūrṇimā is the supreme celebration, drawing all disciples to the Guru's presence. Preparations involve both spiritual practice and physical service. Human knowledge is limited, confined mostly to Aparāvidyā, not the highest Parāvidyā. The fundamental drive is the fear of death, prompting the longing for liberation. Sādhanā is an internal Kumbh Melā, a difficult gathering where one's latent qualities surface for purification. This process, often arduous, ultimately brings lightness and change. The earth is a karmabhūmi, a field for action, where one cannot remain inactive. The mantra, the Divine Name received from the Guru, is the ultimate protection and support, greater than the person. "The name will remain, but the person will go." "Wherever your name is written, it will never go down." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The divine principle delights in and accepts the imperfect heart, bestowing grace, refuge, and the nectar of Samādhi. This supreme reality is described as compassionate, without malice, and the embodiment of equal vision that removes sorrow. It is the primordial cause, the giver of true discernment, and the destroyer of falsehood and pride. The message of the true Guru brings bliss and delight to the heart. One is instructed to remain fearless, to hold a doctrine without enmity, and to understand the ultimate truth of no coming or going. All are seen as beautiful from a perspective of non-attachment. "You delight in this faulty heart." "He is the giver of the ultimate refuge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The transmission of spiritual knowledge and the foundational role of the family are essential. Knowledge is absorbed gradually, not in a single day, as illustrated by the yearly progression in school. Śaṅkarācārya established a great path of knowledge that many follow. There are two kinds of knowledge: external learning and the inner knowledge received from a guide. This knowledge must be passed on. The primary teachers are the mother and father; all other education stems from this foundation. The mother tongue imparts deep, lasting understanding. Modern separation of families is detrimental; one should strive to remain close to parents. Lifelong learning from parents and spiritual practice continues until the soul departs. Ultimately, all beings return to the one God. "Learning is not for one day; it is for a whole year." "Mother-father's knowledge, lifelong techniques—and of course there are many techniques."

Practice is essential, and grace is fundamental. Your spiritual practice is vital. If you claim no time for practice, you claim no time for eating. Food is crucial for all beings, yet we are not the providers. God provides. He determines the rains and the harvests. That unseen force cares for all. Do not be proud, for you achieve nothing alone. Different names for the divine are good. We must love all creatures. Our visible practice is one aspect; the other is inner contemplation. All beings, even elements, contain the divine essence. Life is temporary. We strive for oneness, peace, and harmony. Our actions accumulate, but the final outcome is uncertain. We must pray, do good for all, and cleanse negativity. The cycle of time, like the moon's phases, continues. Be happy, live with joy, and be good to all. "If you have no time to practice yoga or anything, then it means you also have no time for eating." "We are ātmā, the soul, for everyone. How many animals, etc.? Fire also, water also, earth also—every second." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice of Ānanda Āsana follows demanding yoga and meditation. Lie down and relax the whole body completely. Ānanda means to hold peace and all that is good. The exercise involves rolling from front to back like a walking child. It includes postures like Halāsana, holding the body straight with legs up. It proceeds to Dhanurāsana, stretching like an arrow. Finally, relax on the stomach or side. Human life involves the desire for happiness, the fear of illness and death, and the recognition that life is enough. We are all on the same path, not knowing who will depart first. Blessings for peace and oneness are offered. "Ānanda means hold best, hold peaceful, hold everything that is good." "We are human, we have three meanings: we want to be very happy. Second, we are very ill and afraid to die, and third is life, which is enough." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The living guru is found within, through the inner path of authentic meditation. Many learn external techniques, gazing at oceans or horizons, but real meditation is an inward journey. The inner self contains all instruments, like a pilot guides a great aircraft. Both yogic science and modern medicine have value; one should remain neutral, using each appropriately. True spiritual knowledge, like that in the Bhagavad Gītā, is universal and unchanging. Techniques such as Kriya require serious, long-term practice and personal purity. A guru manifests as a living presence in the world, like successive sunrises and their rays. Life progresses through stages of learning, working, and ultimately becoming a guide for all, seeing everyone as family. "Meditation is within. But how? And that is, who is really the best?" "Therefore, never try to give this teaching. But for long years you were practicing, then that teacher can also teach you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The forest is an ideal setting for sādhanā, offering oxygen, peace, and natural beauty. Practice here with eyes closed to avoid distraction. Sit comfortably with your mālā and guru mantra. Recall the day you received the mantra and your progress since. The sounds of wind, trees, and birds support inner focus. Complete your mālā and then practice specific breathing techniques. Focus on alternate nostril breathing as instructed, followed by Brahmari prānāyāma. Conclude with stillness and a closing prayer. "When you are sleeping under the trees, the tree tells you, 'Wake up.'" "Forget all different kinds of things in the family, or in the city, or in work. You are yourself, with all."

Yoga in daily life reveals the oneness of all existence. The bhajan given originates from Mahāprabhujī, addressed to Guru Dev, expressing a journey to a world without problems. Bhajans come from the heart of saints, in many languages. There are countless chakras in the body, especially at joints, from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra, each holding great knowledge. Energy moves through these points, seen in the quick fingers of musicians. Chakras exist everywhere on earth, like a serpent moving. The knee joint contains a powerful chakra, which weakens without care. Each chakra associates with animals and deities: Śiva-Śakti, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Lakṣmī. Trees also have joints and energy; we draw from them. The eyes are precious, perceiving color and distance, shared by animals and trees. The voice travels far; bodily care and proper eating are vital. In Kali Yuga, be good, give freedom, like a child returning to its mother. At sunset, animals and birds return to their nest. Keep your nest clear and return to it. Opening your eyes, you see the whole world and become one with it. Your life is my life, and my life is your life. The mother’s stomach nourishes all, home is where the heart resides, and yoga in daily life is oneness: all in one and one in all. “O Gurudev, let me go to that world where there is no coming, no problems.” “My life is your life, and your life is my life, and we all in oneness we will come.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A story illustrates human kindness and the universal essence of yoga. A medical situation in India prompted an immediate and coordinated response from contacts in Austria, arranging care and transport. This demonstrated a system where care is provided without discrimination, solely based on shared humanity. The event highlights a principle: we must take care of humans. The current age, Kali Yuga, is marked by division and the ego's declaration of "I am the best." Yoga is the means to cleanse the mind, and it is for all life, not any single country or religion. Yogic postures are inspired by nature—trees and animals. We cannot correct others, only ourselves. The correction begins by affirming "I am human" and recognizing our connection to all. "Yoga is life, for the whole earth." "There was no one word, religion, in Satyuga, Dvāparayuga, Tretāyuga." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The little dog’s enlightenment reveals the ego trap in karma yoga and leads to the four aims of human life. A story tells of a family traveling by ox cart with a small dog running behind. The dog slips under the cart into the shade, running there but growing angry, believing it carries the entire weight. It decides to stop, sits down, and the cart simply moves on without it. That brings a kind of enlightenment: everything continues perfectly well without oneself. So when thanked for seva, the response “It’s my pleasure” is genuine—karma yoga is a blessing, not a burden. A bhajan by the saint Āchal Rāmjī declares that without work, nothing is achieved. The real name of God is hard work; through it one attains perfection. All saints and scriptures affirm this. The bhajan describes four puruṣārthas every human should reach. First is dharma: to fulfill the dharma of one’s roles—mother, father, disciple, teacher. Failing dharma becomes karma. Second is artha: acquiring wealth to be independent and give back. Third is kāma: relational and emotional fulfillment, bringing contentment to support others. Fourth is mukti, liberation, granted by the guru’s grace. An example: two cows are tied, one with iron chains, the other with golden—both are bondage. Whether clinging to pleasure or suffering, the chain holds the same. Only niṣkāma karma and guru’s grace bring mokṣa. To attain these four requires tremendous effort; time rushes on, and wasting it is a grave mistake. “Without work, nothing is achieved in this world. The real name of God is hard work.” “It does not matter whether the chain is golden or of iron—the bondage is the same.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The spiritual path requires a foundation and guidance, not premature independence. A seed must grow through stages into a tree that bears fruit. One must become established for years, gaining proper understanding and certification. The practice extends beyond physical exercise to ethical living. A core principle is non-violence: do not kill animals or consume flesh and blood. Many are awakening to this, supported by evidence like medical professionals thriving on vegetarian diets. The focus is on human principles, not religious debate. Live as a fruitful tree, spreading wellness from a stable base. "Your passport is not valid for all countries; we have permission to go only to certain places with it." "We should not drink the blood of others nor consume the flesh of another."

A morning ritual establishes purity and presence for the day. Upon waking, declare your human consciousness. Step from bed with reverence for Mother Earth. Begin with pure water, holding it in your palms to acknowledge the divine within it. Apply water to the face five times for physical, mental, and spiritual cleansing. Drink the water, feeling it purify your system, dedicating your life to the divine. The first sight upon waking should be a sacred image or a pure element of nature, setting a harmonious tone. This practice cleanses the residues of night and anger, fostering inner peace that is independent of external events. True yoga is this integrated awareness in every action, recognizing that happiness and unhappiness originate within. "Where there is water, there is God." "Happiness and unhappiness are all within ourselves, not from others at all." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

This sacred land is a place of profound purification and spiritual nourishment. The atmosphere here is healing and illuminated by the presence of the gurus. The environment is rare, drawing people from many countries for its peace and harmony. Working with the earth through karma yoga purifies everything. The organic produce acts as medicine for energy. This gathering coincides with Guru Pūrṇimā, a time for blessings. Whether present physically or listening from afar, one can participate in meditation and pūjā. "Everything is done by that karma."

The path of spiritual discipline requires the guru's grace and careful practice. Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna is a potent practice that must be preserved and not given improperly. Many who received it without true devotion later left and set themselves up as masters, losing everything. To receive the guru's grace is not easy; becoming a disciple is difficult. The spiritual path is like carrying a single flame through a strong wind on a dark night, or like walking on a sharp knife with dangers on both sides. Even divine figures like Kṛṣṇa and Jesus walked such a path. Sādhanā itself is that knife, requiring us to be peaceful, harmonious, and balanced. Just as a doctor must perform a heart operation himself and cannot delegate it, only a genuine guru from the paramparā can hold and transmit the Kriyā Śakti. You may have the practice, but do not think to give it to others. Yoga is more than āsanas; there are many sādhanās. What you have been given, you must handle correctly. Your real essence is what matters. "On the day you give up Guru Kṛpā, all sādhanā will be gone." "Only that one who could. This is also like a spiritual path."

Attachment, detachment, and the awakened soul are illuminated through Mahāprabhujī’s Yoga Nidrā Bhajan. Great saints and gurus do not sleep; their awareness remains constant. Mahāprabhujī’s bhajan teaches yoga nidrā: lying down with wakeful awareness. The breath continues; the body relaxes while awareness embraces all beings equally. The Guru belongs to everyone, like each cell nurturing the whole body. The soul is always awake, yet subtle channels and feelings create bondage. Attachment to objects, trees, animals, and family constitutes saṃsāra. A cherry tree’s blossoms and fruits exemplify growing attachment through observation. A person who gives up everything, even death ceremonies, tests the path of niradhārī. Attachment persists like a mother’s memory, binding generations. Physical yoga benefits body and mind but does not release deep attachment. The sense of being great reinforces attachment. Only yogis can attain the state described in the bhajan. In yoga nidrā, snoring may occur, yet some remain aware, and the master perceives awakening. The soul, like a caged parrot with clipped wings, is bound by attachment to duality. Yoga is freedom to the indwelling God; otherwise, suffering and rebirth continue. Slowly, one moves from attachment to detachment. “It is like a parrot in a cage; sometimes it looks out at other birds flying free.” “I am not yours. Why? Because I am yours—for everyone, like each and every cell in the body.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sādhanā is the disciplined practice for self-realization, affecting one's entire lineage. Time dedicated to personal development is invaluable and cannot be bought. This practice requires withdrawing the senses and making the mind peaceful to see what is stored within the unconscious. A strict, traditional anuṣṭhāna with fasting and silence is challenging but necessary to profoundly affect one's reality. The true practice is integrating awareness into every smallest action of daily life. Maintaining a harmonious mind regardless of external circumstances is the hardest and best practice. Everything consumed—food, drink, and air—directly shapes the body, mind, and energy. Impurities in nourishment or blockages in prāṇa flow, such as from synthetic clothing, create physical and energetic disharmony. Liberation is an incremental process built through daily discipline, not a sudden event. "Swāmījī said one thing: the hardest abhyāsa and the best abhyāsa is to keep your mind always in a happy, harmonized state." "If one in your paramparā gets this self-realization, then seven generations after you and seven generations before you, they get liberated." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Adopt the way of the tree to become free from worldly cares. The tree gives fruit to all without hatred or adoration, enduring storms, frost, and heat while providing shelter. Likewise, attain an unceasing state by lovingly meditating on the Lord and continually repeating His divine name for salvation. Let His feet remain in your heart to find the nectar of devotion. We are not the doers; the Supreme is the sole agent. All action, from birth until the last breath, is given by that One. We must be humble, peaceful, and happy, recognizing we are like children or a bird that must stay on the boat, the path, and not fly off alone. "To those who hurl stones with force, it yields fruits with no touch of remorse." "Nāhaṁ kartā, I am not the doer." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The inner pilot is the consciousness that must master the body and mind. The body is like an aeroplane carrying many elements; the pilot resides between the eyebrows, guiding concentration to the crown. Mastery requires flying alone, relying solely on inner instruments. The essential power lies in the spinal channel, the Vajranāḍī, which governs the entire system. Without controlling this, nothing is achieved. External practices and powers are demonstrated, like sitting in fire, but these are not the core. True yoga is not merely postures; it is becoming the Brahman through inner control. This path is not easy and demands unwavering inner strength. "The pilot resides between our eyebrows. From there, concentration goes directly to the Sahasrāra Chakra." "If the Vajranāḍī is not controlled, nothing else matters; whatever you do is nothing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The oneness of earth, breath, and self is realized through connection and purification. Connect to Mother Earth with your palms, feeling the love and support. You walk upon her, a child of the earth. Practice breath, inhaling through the nostrils and exhaling through the mouth for purification. The prāṇa, the life force, unites everything. The entire universe, including the cosmic Self, is within you. You need not search elsewhere. All five vital energies are within the body. Keep the body comfortable and full of respect, for the whole being enjoys this connection. Feel the oneness of Mother Earth and the cosmic expanse. "One in all, all in one." "Everything is in me. The whole space is touching the earth." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The origin of life and the path of dharma are revealed through ancient wisdom. In the beginning, there was only water. The gods decided to create the earth, which was brought forth from the ocean. Life emerged from the waters, with creatures evolving and moving onto land. The principle of existence was established: all living beings sustain themselves by consuming other life. This is the natural law. From this state, humans were created. With humanity came the knowledge of dharma and adharma. Dharma is to live spiritually, to care for all and avoid killing. Adharma is to live like animals, consuming without conscience, which bars the path to the divine. The human form and consciousness ultimately originate from the divine source, symbolized by the navel of Vishnu and the emerging lotus. One must not depend on others but become self-reliant, as God provides everything. Practice sādhanā, see all as equal, and live without harming others. Consider the impact of your consumption and actions on the world. "Jīv, jīv, bhakṣate: all living life, they are eating each other." "Dharma is spirituality and good, not killing anyone. Take care of everyone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Karma and destiny are unchangeable by any being, yet the Guru's grace can alter one's path. Karma accumulates over many lifetimes. Selfless service is its true basis. No individual, regardless of power, can change ordained destiny. The story of a powerful figure illustrates this. He controlled gods and elements but could not command the divine scribe of fate. This scribe writes every being's destiny before birth. The figure demanded a glorious destiny for his child. The scribe wrote what was ordained, not what was demanded. The resulting destiny manifested perfectly, contrary to all desires and power. This demonstrates that written destiny is final. However, the true Guru possesses the grace to change what is written. This power comes from the lineage, not the individual. Do not despair over destiny. The Guru's grace can rewrite it. "Karma is only then if we have Seva." "Guru can change nobody. Guru can change Abhagama." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The essence of yoga and spiritual life is found in the ancient Gurukul system, not merely in physical exercise. Sixty years ago, yoga was deeply spiritual, practiced by great saints and ascetics. Jain and Buddhist traditions exemplify this purity through strict non-violence, meditation, and simple living. Ancient Indian universities like Nalanda were vast centers of spiritual knowledge, later destroyed. The true Gurukul is not a historical building but the living presence of the Master. Disciples receive knowledge and support the Master's mission, creating a global spiritual family. This system provides a foundation of ethics, compassion, and progressive growth that common yoga schools lack. Every step on this path reduces suffering and increases bliss. "Yoga was then very spiritual, pure, and so on. And all yogīs, sādhus, and other people were filled with yoga." "I am myself Gurukul." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The present moment is the only reality. The past is completely gone and holds nothing for us now. The future remains unknown and is not within our control. Therefore, dwelling on what has been or what might be is unnecessary. We are here, now, in this holy place where many have gathered and many saints have walked. Our focus must be on being peaceful, alert, and harmonious in this instant. Life is meant to be lived softly and sweetly, in oneness with all, without creating hardness or bitterness. Love and care for the body is the first step, practicing with comfort and adaptability rather than rigid torture. This present awareness and good practice is our lifelong sādhanā. "The past is past. Even the very beginning of one second is already gone." "Life becomes soft. And the soft is so tasteful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Pure nourishment is essential for spiritual and physical health. Traditional foods and methods are superior. Begin meals with natural sweets like cane sugar or jaggery for good digestion. Consume a variety of raw nuts, prepared by hand to preserve oils. Pure ghee from specific cows is highly beneficial. For expectant mothers, special organic foods ensure a strong child and mother. Modern processed foods and hospital practices are inadequate. Manuka honey is recommended for its purity. Eating meat creates karmic debt, requiring rebirth as those animals. Adopt a clean, vegetarian diet for one year with practices like Śaṅkaprakṣālana to purify the body. This clarity leads to health and spiritual progress.
