Spiritual knowledge transmits through an unbroken chain of generations. Children sit peacefully, watching with focus. Their calm comes from parental teachings and ancestral yoga practice. Knowledge flows in their blood, fostering healthy impulses. Even toddlers perform Bārikhāṭu Praṇām correctly on yoga mats. This demonstrates wisdom passed from parents and grandparents. Yoga in Daily Life, not a religion, spans five generations here. The Līlāmṛt chronicles the lineage from Alakhpurījī to Devpurījī. Holy books offer eternal knowledge, revealing new insights each reading. Such books are living scriptures, not fleeting news. Ancestral wisdom must endure despite worldly upheavals. Libraries like Nālandā University’s with nine million manuscripts were burned. Yet truth resurfaces through memory and family narratives. Trust in the divine; what is destined for you arrives. God sustains all beings, from the smallest to the greatest. Preserve your guiding principles and heritage. Spiritual seeds grow into vast trees, continuing the lineage. "It is said that we do not know where this one seed will eventually start its roots and grow into an unbelievable tree." "From the elephant to the little ant, the feeder is God."

The Guru is the supreme principle, the complete source of all knowledge and the path. The Guru is above Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. This principle manifests in many forms. Anyone who imparts knowledge is a guru, from parents to teachers. The true Satguru does not proclaim the title; it is recognized. The lineage flows from Śiva through successive teachers. A successor is given the duty, chair, and staff to serve all impartially. Renunciation means leaving family attachment to serve everyone equally. The Guru's guidance is a key; discarding it leads one astray. The full moon of Guru Pūrṇimā symbolizes this completeness. One worships the Guru principle, which remains present beyond the physical form. The duty is to help all who come near. "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt Para Brahma." "The duty is to accept, respect, and give all who come near everything that they need." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Karma connects all life, seen and unseen. It is not only for humans but for every creature, tree, and stone. Our actions and experiences are intertwined through karmic bonds we may not understand. A creature dies suddenly on the road; we feel a connection. A tree lives for thousands of years, rooted through seasons, yet its leaves scatter on the wind, and its life can end from unseen forces within, like insects drawn by piled bark. Even a stone has life, becoming dust, then part of a body again. Time is nothing, yet it brings all things. Therefore, we must act with goodness. Do not give negativity; bring good again. Help others, as one man helped a beaten stranger. We should not fight or speak ill, for we are human. All life—trees, animals, grass—is our mother and father, giving us sustenance. We must protect it, not needlessly destroy. Our current way, cutting vast forests for profit, shows humans are not good. Yet, we can choose differently. Do good for all. "Karma is in everything." "Time is nothing, time is nothing. Wait, wait, but it means that time comes." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We are here under these ancient trees, a place of immense life and energy. The trees provide oxygen, shade, and healing for our eyes and spirit. We are children of the Mother Earth, who sustains us like a mother, her grass a forgiving cloth. Walk barefoot on this clean earth to connect with its energy. Our daily life, from waking to sleeping, should be observed with clarity. Our body is a complete family; the two eyes are sisters who cannot see each other, and the two nostrils are brothers who talk but cannot hear. This understanding guides practices like applying tilak and performing prāṇāyāma. Every part has purpose, like nails as tools. Beauty comes from within. We must not harm the body but enjoy life fully through good food, meditation, and work. Live well, feeling gratitude for everything. "These trees that are here do not push the other trees away. That is very important." "‘Sweet’ means think sweet, speak sweet, look sweet."

Yoga practice following a forest walk restores balance and flexibility. Walking, running, or other exercises create stiffness that yoga removes. Deep breathing while walking fills the lungs with oxygen, aiding heart and lungs. The practice of Bāṛī Khāṭū Praṇām offers greeting to the Guru and the village of Bari Khatu. Begin seated in Vajrāsana, the iron posture, with hands on thighs. Close eyes and visualize the sequence. Inhale, raise arms, clasp hands, and exhale into a forward bend. Stay relaxed in each posture, breathing softly. Do not move quickly; feel the stretch. The spinal column is the central channel, from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra, and stretches align it. Teachers observe and correct the body’s position. Keep elbows straight, heels down, and chest open. The 27 postures work the whole spine, shoulders, and legs. After the sequence, lie on the back and relax completely. This relaxation is called Ānanda. Then stretch, roll, and sit up. “After them, one should do yoga exercises. Then the whole nervous system will be very good, the muscles will become more relaxed, and so will the joints of the body.” “We offer praṇām to Gurujī, praṇām to the city.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Good evening. We had a beautiful day of practice. Tomorrow, you will have a free half-day after breakfast to walk in the forest in groups. Otherwise, do your own exercises. Integrate the lectures and practices into your heart and mind. The trees here give great energy; breathe deeply. The food here contains prāṇa. We should eat food that makes the body healthy, happy, and pure. Our gathering is limited in size, but it allows a relaxed feeling without daily chores. A study was shared involving over 7,000 participants across six countries. It found those on plant-based diets at least one year prior had less severe COVID-19 outcomes. This shows vegetarianism is good for health, the environment, and humanity. True yoga practice includes a vegetarian diet, avoiding alcohol and meat, fostering peace and love for all creatures.

Yoga in daily life awakens one to the Self. On waking, note the nostril with stronger breath. Step out with the left foot if left nostril flows, right foot if right, both together if equal. The first thought: I am human. This means to reflect deeply and do no wrong. Water is God. Splashing the face sends awakening through every nerve. The body is a vehicle; the Ātmā is the driver. Be alert like a pilot. Learn from a guru as from a driving instructor. Sleep has three states: waking, dreaming, deep sleep. Yoga Nidrā includes all three; one listens while sleeping. Come out of unknowing sleep. Practice for one week to see. Yoga is not just āsanas or stretching. It is sādhanā to become jāgrat. We come from earth, live on earth, return to earth. "When we open our eyes, we should think, 'I am human.'" "Yoga in daily life is not just about stretching; we have to become jāgrat." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Devotion manifests through humble service, not through the ego's claim of action. In the story of the bridge, all creatures contributed according to their capacity; the divine's direct intervention sank the stones, teaching that grace flows through surrendered work, not personal ownership. The physical space here is sanctified by the presence of a great guru, whose power remains. His instruction for a shared Guru Pūrṇimā was a direct transmission of grace. The essence of all true teachings is humility and universality. The sun shines for all; possessive identification with "my guru" or "my God" is a limited, human construct. Great beings like Rāma and Jesus exemplified this humility. Spiritual practice aims to merge the individual drop into the ocean of purity, where all impurities are cleansed. The path requires looking beyond immediate obstacles toward the vast horizon of unity. The final test is always compassion, as shown when Yudhiṣṭhira refused heaven without his loyal dog. Our collective sitting in satsaṅg generates this unifying energy, which is the real practice beyond mere technique. "My dear squirrel, my dear squirrel, I love you so much. You also do high work." "If someone gives you a slap on one cheek, you should offer the other also." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The foundation of practice is discipline in diet and lifestyle to support spiritual awakening. Eating lightly in the evening prevents sleepiness during morning meditation. A cold bath generates heat and dispels laziness, while warm water induces comfort and sleep. The primary principle is to eat only half of one's capacity; this promotes health and longevity. Overeating leads to heaviness, disease, and a shortened life. The body generates ample energy from minimal, pure food. The practice of Sarvahitāsana begins with the parents' intention to have a child, requiring purification through sāttvic food for one to two years prior. Parents' pure nourishment and harmonious union invite a holy soul into the embryo. This practice is for the good of all, fostering health from conception onward. Families should rear their own children with this conscious foundation. "Eating half is very good, very healthy, and very good for your life." "Sarvahitāsana begins from when husband and wife, these two couples, want to marry; that time begins for the child." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The one path merges all into the divine ocean. For many months we were not physically together, but through the blessings of Alakhpurījī, Bhagavān Śrī Devpurījī, Aradhi Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, and Sadguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī, we remained healthy and happy. Disciples practiced yoga at home—āsanas, prāṇāyāma, prayers—and many watched via television. Some meditated without mantra or mālā, suddenly lost, not knowing where they are. One deer runs here and there lost; others have the path together. So first know what one is doing—then one gets one path. Many religions have their own traditions, their own mālās and holy names like a mantra. One has to have one path; like many houses in a village are separate families, yet all are one in the village. All are on different paths of some guru, but all must come on their own path. Ultimately, all come to one point where Guru, God, everything comes together. Raindrops fall separately, flow into a creek, then river, then ocean; every creature becomes one, coming from one point and returning to the ocean. The guru is from ages past—Śiva Sat Yuga, Dvāpar Yuga, Tretā Yuga, Kali Yuga; from Śiva to all creatures, all melt into one. Every creature knows its path instinctively—where to put eggs, where to go—God gives this knowing. God gives life and a way; humans are lost and pray, "Please, my Lord, show me my path." That path is within our heart; God is sitting in us, pure like clean water, but we pollute it. Yoga is not only body exercises; postures learned from animals, but the real path comes from the Satguru. The Satguru gives the mantra first, and later the word, the real path, what to do. "One has to have one path." "We say, 'Please, my Lord, show me my path.' And maybe that is only within ourself, in our heart." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The power of Śabda, the divine word, governs life. Śabda is the sound present in all existence—not only speech but birdsong, leaves rustling, water flowing, sand shifting, wind blowing. The same mouth and tongue produce sweet and harsh words from identical energy. A sweet word creates immediate love and connection. A harsh word creates conflict and repulsion. The bhajan teaches: Śabda Sanehī Marījātrā Marīhelī. This Śabda enters every cell of the body. Śabda Sanehī means all close friends, all humans, all beings. Śabda is like an arrow. Good and bad words enter the body as arrows. Harsh words give life a negative direction. Poison in food parallels wrong Śabda. Even the wind is Śabda. Think sweet, peaceful, spiritual words. Control your tongue. In meditation, focus on one dear word. Many sweet words exist to calm the ocean of life. "Śabda is very powerful. If we say some good word—‘Oh, my friend, how are you?’—Śabda has such power that when you utter a sweet word, the other friend says, ‘Oh, my friend, thank you.’” "And those not-good words that we have to say will give our life a not-good direction."

The holistic path integrates astrology, yoga, and practical living for well-being. The current era presents challenges foretold in scripture. Vedic astrology, based on lunar constellations, precisely maps all life, including human destiny and compatibility. Yoga is a corresponding union, addressing the body and mind through exercise, breath, and relaxation. Correct practice is essential, as suitable methods vary per individual. Various medical systems exist, each with its place. True health requires balanced nourishment, moderation in food and drink, and disciplined practice. Spiritual awareness recognizes the divine gift of human consciousness and choice. "Jyotiṣ asks, 'What is that which is 100% sure?'" "Yoga also means union, a constellation of elements."

The test of nourishment extends beyond food to all you have received. What you consume shapes your being. True nourishment is judged by the eyes, the heart, the taste, and its digestion. Eat less to truly savor and ease the stomach's work. The body is a mystery; we do not even know our own skin. Many yogis advise: eat less, drink as needed, and meditate more. Modern habits of inactivity and overeating weaken our digestion. Respect the purity of your food and those who prepare it. The essence, ān, is the divine seed within all nourishment, carrying the prāṇa of life. Your habits, formed from what you consume, determine your state. Control these habits from the beginning for a harmonious life. "Eat less, drink as it is needed, and meditate more." "What you will eat, like that you will be."

The disciple's joy depends solely on the guru's grace. The guru's blessings are transmitted through a living master or the enduring spiritual presence of the lineage. A true disciple follows the Satguru without question, maintaining a dedicated personal practice. The physical lineage chair represents the eternal guru principle. Spiritual progress requires surrendering worldly attachments and mental fixations, as the story illustrates where avoiding a physical touch fostered a mental obsession. The goal is a merger where all distinctions dissolve. Practice regularly but without neglecting worldly duties. "Many people may not understand. They think that if their guru is not physically present anymore, they must have some other guru." "If Gurudev says something and we say, 'No, it is not good,' then we have gone to the other side."

Integrate spiritual practice into daily life. Maintain your practice at home in the early morning or evening. While walking or driving, refrain from excessive talk to focus on your sādhanā. Carry the peaceful atmosphere of the ashram within you. Be harmonious with your family, sharing your practice gently. Engage with the earth by touching soil in a garden to connect with pure energy. Practice āsanas and prāṇāyāma, such as Kapālabhāti, for health, moving beyond mere reliance on medicine. Yoga is a holistic practice for body and life. Proper learning requires attending classes with a teacher, progressing step by step through different levels. The highest gathering is Satsaṅg, where all come together in truth. "Yoga is not a religion, it is not spirituality, but health, our body’s health." "Satsaṅg means sat, sat means the truth, saṅg, saṅg means together." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A yogic life honors the body as divine through natural nourishment and disciplined practice. Modern disease arises from unnatural living, improper eating, and environmental harm. While doctors are a boon, true health returns to the natural way, like nourishment from a grandmother's kitchen. Constant eating and artificial habits shorten life. Past generations lived long through natural sustenance. The body is our temple and primary religion. One must live with consistency, avoiding contradictions like practicing yoga then consuming harmful substances. Begin each day mindfully, acknowledging our human form and connection to elements like water. The aim is for all to become yogis—healthy, peaceful, and devoted to the living God within this body. "The best medicine is the kitchen of our grandmothers." "Our body is our God. It is our holy place." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is for health, harmony, understanding, peace, long life, and friendship. All yoga schools are good, regardless of association with religion. Humans have come a far distance from living in forests. We are now separated but do good for ourselves and others. Long ago, there was no money and people lived happily by giving to each other. Money and gold later arrived, creating desire and a system of transaction. Now we seek gold and material possessions, but these things remain after we are gone. It does not matter which religion or place one is from; being human is what matters. God gave yoga to make the body healthy and happy so one may live a long, peaceful life. "Yoga is for good health, harmony, understanding, peace, long life, and friendship." "God gave us yoga so that we could have a healthy body, a happy body, so that we could live in it for a long time." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The ancient forest reveals profound truths through its life and stories. To understand it is to know everything. Sages walk there, and a solitary yogī lives among immense, ancient trees. We have such a forest in our ashram. There, a massive banyan tree, over 5,000 years old, stands. This reminds me of a story from another ashram. A young guru there spoke to a great tree, prophesying its death within two years. The tree, confident after millennia, asked who could kill it. The guru said its friends would, and that its enemy was in fire and iron. Later, a man with an axe came and felled the tree. The fallen tree later advised that one should not have enemies, and if someone is your enemy, be kind to them. There is a lesson in small things, like a needle that can kill. We should always be careful, happy, and kind. Then, their karma will affect them, not you. The trees are our best friends. We humans need the forests and should love them. "Ṛṣi, you take care of yourself. I am okay." "Therefore, we should always be careful and always be very happy and kind to others." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Understand the meaning within devotional song. Concentrate not only on the sound but on its significance. Knowing the meaning makes the song a reality within the heart and mind. Initially, many did not understand yoga or these songs. People sang without comprehension, and the songs were sung without their understanding. Authorities were present, monitoring. The practice grew from small groups to hundreds over successive visits. Gatherings were held in simple, natural settings like forest chalets, with shared food and song late into the night. Travel was challenging, with winter journeys involving multiple cars and stops for tea. Official interactions occurred, with visits to police stations for routine checks. Specific rules were given: do not remove or bring in movable wealth, avoid religious discourse, and engage in no politics. These rules aligned with a yogi's natural disinterest in such matters. The focus remained solely on health and well-being through practice, without politics or religion. The atmosphere was one of happiness and relaxation.

The path is to be present, letting go of past and future. You have practiced and received knowledge. Our way is to be relaxed and normal, not straining or focusing oddly. What we seek is to know the Self. We follow a given path but must understand it ourselves. We are human with knowledge, yet we do not know what comes after this life. Do not dwell on the past; it is gone like an exhale. We often live in memories or future thoughts, not in the present. Suffering in the present will not last. We must come into our heart and thoughts to be one. Forget the past; your future path will be good. What you have now is here; do not lose it by grasping for more. "Do not meditate and concentrate on what is gone; learning is gone." "The past is gone. The present is here. But you think, 'In the future, I will also get this.' But you will not get it."

The spiritual path requires following a true guide through the transitional age. We are in Kali Yuga, a dark age nearing its end. Śiva balances all forces, working to harmonize and avert disaster, guiding beings toward a coming Satya Yuga of holiness. The true guru, like a mother, provides the correct path and blessings. You must follow that given path without distraction or switching guides. Many techniques exist, from physical science to spiritual discipleship. Karma yoga involves understanding all actions and life circumstances. Jyotiṣ, the science of astrology, is presented as a critical knowledge revealing the timing of all events, including one's death. The key is to go deeply, beyond mere physical practice, and stay on the assigned path toward oneness. "Śiva is giving blessings and controlling everything for all: the ṛṣis, the yogīs, the spiritual ones, and also others." "So without jyotiṣ, no one can go further."

All spiritual paths are one, despite different names and forms. This unity is seen in families where each member has a name, yet the family is one. Similarly, every yoga center and religion, though named differently, converges on the same truth. Just as children in a kindergarten are all beautiful, all spiritual endeavors are good. The human soul is one, despite variations in body or color. Life is like water: individual drops from clouds or rivers ultimately return to and merge with the ocean. Maintaining distinct traditions and knowing one's roots creates harmony, while excessive mixing without understanding leads to confusion. Respect all paths and see the single reality within all forms. "Yoga is only one yoga; we simply have different names." "Water is water. It may be in the clouds, in the ocean... but one fine drop comes together with others... and finally returns to the ocean." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Satsaṅg and disciplined living are foundations for spiritual and physical well-being. An eight-month Anuṣṭhāna was completed, a period of residence with daily satsaṅg and spiritual practice. This occurred at a Sattva āśram, a pure place established for decades where many have come to practice. The holiness originates from ancient spiritual lineage. Satsaṅg is the gathering of truth with spiritual companions, fostering happiness. Historical guidance from masters emphasizes simple, disciplined living. This includes dietary discipline: eat only when truly hungry, avoid tea and coffee, and consume pure foods. Modern habits of constant eating and improper foods lead to illness. True health comes from eating moderately, drinking water, and leaving space in the stomach. Practice silence, maintain personal space in communal living, and focus on spiritual practice. The recent global situation, while difficult, allowed for sustained spiritual focus and family connection at home. Ultimately, cultivate a life free from anger and negativity through disciplined practice and satsaṅg. "Without bhakti, without satsaṅg, one feels a little bit alone." "Eat half, drink one quarter water, and leave the other quarter empty. Then our health will be the best." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The human path integrates family, culture, and daily spiritual practice. Recent times brought families physically together, revealing a prior separation as children moved away for study and work, leading to a loss of cultural continuity. Modern life further separates parents from children, who are often left in others' care. One parent should be present to impart culture and religion. The family home should be peaceful, without conflict or harmful habits. The pandemic reinforced being together, though it brought hardship. It is a time to maintain cultural and religious practices. Yoga in Daily Life teaches a pure, vegetarian lifestyle, which is the science of being human. To be a yogi is to first be human. The daily practice begins upon waking: acknowledge being human, honor the earth and your mother, and use water reverently as it is life and divine. Greet others with sacred recognition. Your workplace is also a family. Live as a lamp for your family. A true guru guides the soul to the cosmic self, beyond mere skill instruction. Holy figures should be respected in complete form. "Yoga is the science of the human being. To a yogī, that is it. You are a yogī. If you want to become a yogī, you have to become a human." "Water is life... water is God. We should not destroy water or spill it here and there." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Haṭha Yoga consists of six purification techniques, not merely postures. These kriyās use water, air, and fire to purify the physical body and the five kośas, allowing the inner light to shine. The goal is to balance the two main forces, Iḍā and Piṅgalā, uniting them in the ājñā cakra. Practical techniques begin with Jala Neti, using warm salt water to cleanse the nasal passages, followed by Kapālabhāti to energize and massage the brain. Vamana Dhauti purifies the stomach with salt water, while Agnisāra Kriyā and Nauli stoke the digestive fire. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana cleanses the entire intestinal tract. Trāṭaka, or steady gazing, develops one-pointed concentration. These practices refine the senses and build willpower, serving as a foundation for deeper meditation and self-realization.

Yoga is now widespread, but a misconception has arisen that it is only āsanas and prāṇāyāma. In focusing solely on these, many have lost sight of their true purpose, practicing something akin to acrobatics instead. This acrobatic display is not yoga. True yoga connects body, mind, and spirit to the cosmic. Many pursue acrobatics, with their activity containing perhaps only 25% yoga. Yoga comes from the yogīs, and the yogī is Śiva. We must recognize the foundation brought by great sages. To engage in real yogic practice, you must have your master, your yogic guru. Some now reject gurus, becoming disconnected from right principles. Our "Yoga in Daily Life" system offers a complete path, encompassing deeper spiritual knowledge and the grace of the Guru. Sādhanā, or practice, is everything in life. When you practice sādhanā in everything, you will attain liberation. We need the Guru's grace to progress. "Yoga is the science connecting the human being—body, mind, and spirit—to the cosmic." "Sādhanā means practice—various kinds of practice.

The Supreme Reality is the form of sound, Nādarūpa Parabrahma. All existence emerges from this primal vibration. The universe itself is this sound. Our own essence is a resonance of it, which is also the Guru. This sound creates all form. We engage with this through practices like Brahmārī prāṇāyāma, which purifies one's energy over a lifetime. The vibration of Brahmārī is continuous, persisting through death and into different lives. Concurrently, one must walk the path of sādhana, or spiritual practice. This involves discernment between truth and untruth, and releasing worldly attachments. We collect many things, but at death, everything is lost. There is a cycle where beings consume each other, but humans should strive to break this through conscious practice. The goal is mokṣa, liberation from this cyclical existence. "From this sound, everything emerges, just as salt comes from the ocean." "Sādhana is not only money, clothes, house, and this. Similarly, purification for humans—we have to be very, very careful."

Yoga is one, with many branches from a single root. Purification of the body is the essential first step, known as Hatha Yoga. This is not merely postures but constant cleansing. Techniques like neti cleanse the nostrils, while practices like Śaṅkha Prakṣālana purify the stomach. These acts of purification are the six traditional techniques. Hatha also signifies the necessary force in practice, illustrated in life's simple resistances. True practice requires this disciplined force to achieve purity, preparing one for deeper spiritual work. "Yoga is just one. From it, there are so many branches, like one tree."

The Vajranāḍī is the foundational root from which life unfolds, like a tree dependent on its hidden roots. Shallow roots cannot withstand storms, while deep, searching roots ensure strength and sustenance. Destiny is written at birth by Vidhātā, an inescapable power. A story illustrates this: despite a king's efforts to arrange a grand marriage for his daughter, she ultimately weds a disabled street sweeper, fulfilling her written destiny. Just as a tree's roots blindly seek water, our lives follow a pre-written course. However, a true Guru possesses the power to alter this destined path. Our roots and spine are like the Vajranāḍī, with branches spreading through the body. "Destiny is in this pencil. I can only hold this, and it will write what comes out." "Destiny is very clear. It is like where you throw the stone, it will go there where it should go." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The human purpose is to follow dharma, the path of good, and avoid adharma, the path of evil. Dharma means causing no harm to any creature, including not killing for food. Adharma begins with harmful speech and actions, leading to the cycle of violence where creatures devour each other. Humans are meant to be above this animal behavior. Our life is given to find God's path, not for mere eating. God resides within the heart; causing trouble first afflicts our own inner divinity. Hell is not a separate place but exists here as cruelty. Proper human sustenance is from fruits, seeds, and milk—a gift from motherly sources like the earth, the cow, and our own mother. Killing animals for food or consuming their embryos is a grave sin that contradicts our spiritual nature. Yoga's true purpose is not just health but to turn the mind toward the God within. Practice prāṇāyāma to purify the lungs and sustain life force. Avoid harmful substances and excessive consumption. Support a life of non-violence and purity. "Dharma means to do good. This includes all creatures: we should not give them trouble or kill them." "Human life is given for dharma, not for adharma." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Awakening arises from within, yet guidance reveals it. Practice is the inner science, not external. Many remain asleep within the body. A teacher awakens this latent knowledge. All potential exists within the human form, but mastery requires time and instruction. For instance, one may possess a flute, but only a master's breath produces music. Similarly, learning to drive requires a teacher's guidance before one can drive alone with confidence. True mastery demands constant alertness to all directions, both in driving and in yoga. The practice involves awakening the five sheaths of the body. One may practice even between sleep and waking, as sound and vibration resonate through the entire being. "The yogīs said you have everything here on the earth, in this whole globe, in the space above, and further." "Awakening is within our self, but that someone informed us."

Bhramarī Prāṇāyāma is practiced before meditation to create resonance. The technique moves vibration through the body and chakras, harmonizing the nervous system and concentration. First method: close ears with thumbs, place fingers on temples, keep lips closed and teeth relaxed. Move thumbs rhythmically inward and outward, releasing all tensions for deep peace. Second method: place fingers behind the head where neck meets skull, palms covering ears. Maintain equal pressure on teeth, close lips, and pump palms gently. This opens resonance through the brain, dissolving forehead tension and headaches. Practice three or four times only, then rest. After about fourteen minutes, begin meditation on the resonance. Sit with closed eyes, let the Guru Mantra flow internally. Feel the vibration in the breath, heart, chakras, and spinal column. Finally, rub palms, place them on the face, and open eyes. This practice aids sleep problems and tiredness, but avoid excessive sleep. "Bhramarī Prāṇāyāma is one of the finest prāṇāyāma techniques. Its vibration travels through the entire body, bringing harmony to our nervous system, knowledge, thinking, and concentration." "Tensions leave the forehead; even a kind of headache goes away."

Confidence is the thread that holds our spiritual life together. Begin and end each day by turning inward, surrendering all actions to the divine. This surrender brings peace and freedom from fear, for one knows the indwelling Self can never be taken away. Confidence is not a fleeting emotion but a state of oneness, like milk and water merging. All activities are like beads on a fragile thread; without the knot of confidence, the thread breaks. All beings are sustained by one God, just as all citizens belong to one country and all raindrops return to the ocean. Disputes arise from duality, forgetting that all is one. The practice of faith, like the prostration in prayer, allows one to see the unseen reality. "Anyone can take from my hands, but not from my jīvā, my ātmā."

The human life is for spiritual practice to realize the divine within. Practice brings harmony to the family and peace to the individual. Perform daily rituals, remember the divine name, and live with gratitude. This life may be the final opportunity to complete one's purpose and attain the supreme. Many techniques exist, but disciplined practice is essential. Do not teach a method until you have fully mastered and experienced its results yourself. True mastery comes from dedicated practice over time, where the practitioner becomes an instrument of a higher power. The path of sound, like in Brahmari Pranayama, holds immense power to connect with the ultimate reality. "God is within your heart. The most important thing is to perform sādhanā." "First, you should understand, then practice the technique exactly, and learn it yourself first." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma is a practice for balance and deep release from tension. We have focused on this practice. Several techniques are given. One uses the index fingers with elbows at shoulder height. Another involves thumbs in the ears with fingers on the temples. The teeth are either pressed together or kept relaxed. The vibration travels from the throat, behind the palate, and out through both nostrils. This resonance balances the flow in both channels. Practice for a short duration, just three repetitions. It releases the day's accumulated tension, leading to lightness in the head and improved sleep. The aim is to achieve an even vibration across both hemispheres of the head. Do not over-practice. The state achieved should be neither loose nor tense, like a properly adjusted mechanism. "The vibration comes to the nostrils. The resonance comes to the throat, immediately goes above, and from there inside, the sound comes back to our nose." "This practice gives a very, very deep release. Sleep well, and you will have good dreams." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga encompasses many paths, not merely postures or breath. The desire to practice must arise from within, never from force. God grants immense knowledge and freedom to choose, yet certain boundaries exist. Choosing negativity leads one away; choosing goodness aligns with the cosmic. Many yogis have researched inner techniques, all aiming for the same center despite different approaches. The practice of Brahmari Prāṇāyāma is a powerful technique for the brain, promoting coolness and resonance. It draws from natural sounds, like those in water or wind, and from observing creatures like bees and termites. This practice influences the subtle nerve system, offering potential relief. Always consult a doctor for serious conditions and let personal feeling guide your practice. "God said, 'I give you everything. You should know good or bad.' Yet, which path you take is your power." "Brahmari is very powerful, very good for everyone to live like that... These techniques ensure our brain is nice and cool." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The human journey is a progression toward cosmic consciousness, a long path where each step is significant. All creatures strive to reach the human stage, which is a fortunate birth. The unique human gift is the capacity for complex language and a developed brain, a cosmos within which divinity can be found. However, this potential is locked when misused. The mind holds immense power; it can instantly create destruction or cultivate goodness. Desires persist even as the body perishes, binding one to the cycle of rebirth. Humans must use their gifts rightly, avoiding harm to other creatures and purifying their inner thoughts. "God has given all creatures to humans, no matter from which part of the earth." "Man maraṇā, mamatā marī, marmar gayā śarīra, āśā tṛṣṇā nahīṅ gayī." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Brahmari Prānāyāma is a profound practice for inner balance and sound vibration. This practice involves specific techniques with the lips closed. First, place index fingers gently in the ears with teeth together. A second technique relaxes the teeth slightly apart. The sound and vibration originate from the navel and permeate the head. Sit straight in Vajrāsana or with a straight spine on a chair. The practice balances the body's energy and chakras. It draws awareness inward, away from external sounds. Share these techniques freely for well-being. "Observe from which direction this sound travels." "The sound originates from the navel." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A universal prayer and the practice of Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma are offered for global peace and spiritual unity. The world faces widespread difficulty, yet all paths lead to the supreme cosmic Self. Yoga is an ancient science beyond physical exercise, encompassing the divine soul. Humanity must remember its shared origin, like a single seed that becomes a tree with many identical fruits. Modernity has lost this natural continuity, reflecting the discord of the present age. The solution is to turn inward, for the entire cosmos exists within the human body. The practice of Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma is a specific technique to harmonize internal energies. It is named for the bee and involves creating a humming sound to purify internal channels and quiet the mind. This practice can alleviate internal sounds and headaches, guiding one toward inner peace. "Eko brahma dvitīya nāsti. There is only one, that is one, and if there are two, there is duality." "Go within yourself. Then you will see, 'Oh, now I know myself.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Brahmari Pranayama balances the nervous system and refines the voice. This practice is derived from the bee known as Brahmari. The female bee constructs a nest with intricate passages. She captures a specific worm and places it inside. She nourishes it until it develops wings and emerges as a new bee. The yogic practice mimics this process of internal transformation through sound. One method involves gently biting the teeth together. This directs resonance to the temples, balancing the Ida and Pingala nerve channels. It alleviates certain tensions and improves speech. Another method keeps the lips closed but the teeth apart. This directs energy upward toward the crown chakras. Both techniques significantly benefit singers and speakers by refining vocal quality and release. Practice should be avoided during an active headache. "The sound goes from our ears and comes back here to the temple area." "This prāṇāyāma balances both nerve systems, Iḍā and Piṅgalā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. In reality, yoga is one but it has many branches and names. Yogis usually gave the names of animals to the positures because they don't want to come back to the world in the body of that animal. There are also many kinds of kriyas, Some of them are hatha yoga kriyas. There is a big misunderstanding in the western world about hatha yoga. Vajra nadi controls our all nerve systems. Practise every day and go step by step. Pranayama has also many technics. Breathing is happening also towards our skin. The story about a France king and girls covered with gold. Explanation and demonstration of one kind of Bhramari pranayama.

The divine support is ever-present, regardless of human recognition. Many have turned to spiritual practice, seeking more than physical techniques. Yoga encompasses the entire path outlined in scriptures like the Bhagavad Gītā. In times of difficulty, people instinctively turn towards a higher power. This power sustains all life, from the smallest creature to the largest. It provides for every being impartially. Therefore, one's identity should not be confined by religion or practice. True teachers guide from shared understanding, not from a claim of personal divinity. Historical spiritual figures worked within life's challenges. The feeling of divine absence during hardship is a misunderstanding; support is most intimate then. The present moment is what we have for practice and joyful living.

The many forms of yoga are a beautiful garden of diverse flowers, all leading to the same truth. All teachers and techniques are valuable parts of one whole, like different children of the same parents. Harmony among all paths is essential; we must unite in Satya Yoga. The Guru's blessings are eternal, transcending the physical body. Criticizing other paths reveals a burning heart and causes inner harm. Modern medicine and ancient wisdom both have their place in preserving life. The soul is attached to the body but seeks release. Specific practices like Brahmari pranayama use sound to heal and awaken the system through careful, gradual practice. "All yoga teachers, yoga practitioners, their schools, and their ashrams should be in harmony together." "One in all and all in one." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Humility recognizes divine provision over personal pride. God feeds all creatures, from the elephant to the ant. Human effort is acknowledged, but the source is divine. Spiritual practice requires full immersion in the guru's grace, like entering an ocean, not merely testing the water. Jealousy and separation hinder this unity. The inner science of yoga involves knowing the body's subtle systems, such as the 72,000 nerves, and purifying the mind from negativity. Liberation is rooted in the guru's grace, with meditation, worship, and mantra centered upon the guru. "Do not be proud that you feed everyone. No. It is God. He feeds everyone, from the elephant to the ant." "Liberation has its root in the guru's grace. Otherwise, you may go to this yogi and that yogi, running here and there like a lost deer."

God's presence is a constant companion through all of life's changing paths. Nature displays God's endless blessings through shifting seasons and beauty, which we absorb in meditation. In that inner temple, we invite God to awaken within our consciousness. This meditation brings a profound joy, where the Guru's likeness and essence appear within, becoming one with the divine. Human life progresses through stages: the infant's contentment, the child's toys, the search for partnership, and the duties of family. Eventually, weariness sets in, and one may feel that nothing of substance remains, like spitting out a seed after eating the fruit. A story illustrates this companionship: a devotee walking with God questions why God seems absent on the difficult, thorny path. God explains, "My son, at that time, I was holding you in my hands, in my palm... I was protecting you." When the path is easy again, God walks beside him. Thus, God never leaves, even during tests. The feeling of absence is an illusion. Surrender to the Guru is essential, likened to giving one's head, though even complete surrender is said to be insufficient. The disciple must continually gaze toward the Guru's feet, the guiding moon. "When there were the thorns and the stones, and the heat... at that time, I was holding you in my hands." "This body is... like the poisons. But Gurudev is amṛt, nectar." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The grace of the Guru manifests through selfless service and faith, not the pursuit of miracles. A true teacher serves all without distinction. After a gathering, the teacher ensured latecomers were fed first, personally serving them sweet food. In another instance, a small amount of food was made to feed hundreds after the teacher covered the pot with a shawl, demonstrating that faith provides abundance. "When you have all eaten and your stomach is full, my stomach is also full." "Why are you thinking that we don’t have? We have, Guru has." Miracles occur naturally around the sanctified but are not to be sought. A story tells of a man healed of leprosy through an herbal purgative and a mantra. He later, through simple faith in that herb, helped others find lost animals, reconcile a marriage, and even cause an invading army to retreat by serving them the same purgative. This illustrates that devoted service itself is the miracle. Seeking special powers leads to difficulty. "They don’t make miracles, but the miracle is there." Contentment and selfless action are the true paths. Hold to the teachings. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
