Yoga requires authentic study and disciplined practice, not superficial trends. Many misunderstand yoga, seeking only physical benefits or quick certifications from brief trainings. True yoga teaching demands years of deep study in anatomy, philosophy, and spirituality to guide individuals safely. Discipline is the foundation and the measure of success. Authentic guidance comes from genuine teachers and ancient texts, not commercialized novelties. The human body and life are profound gifts to be purified and respected, not polluted by harmful habits or misguided pursuits. "Half knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge." "Yoga begins with discipline, and the success of yoga lies in discipline." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

The greatest treasure is the name of God, which brings liberation and joy. The practices of Yoga in Daily Life are the best for holistic health. Attending a seminar means being in continuous spiritual communion and experiencing the living presence of the teacher. In this age, the primary duty is to help others recognize the one universal God, respecting all names and forms. The most valuable donation is introducing someone to God's name, which builds a spiritual account for future lives. A harmonious marriage functions as two wings of one bird, with the wife often serving as the guiding cultural force. Spiritual wealth, earned through repeating the divine name, is the only possession that endures. "I got the treasure of God's name." "In that house where there is no devotion to God... that house is just like a graveyard." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

The Glory of Satsaṅg and the Path Beyond Borders

The glory of satsang reveals the path beyond all borders. Love knows no distance; borders are created by human ignorance. The aim of human life is to cross karmic borders and attain moksha. This satsang is Satya Yuga itself; outside it is Kali Yuga. Even gods covet human birth because only through it can self-realization dawn. A saint’s uniform is wisdom and knowledge, not robes. Where knowledge is absent, desire and suffering arise; where knowledge shines, they cease. The soul is an individual victim of destiny, while the atma is universal and free. True study means examining your inner life chapters—unfinished closures, joys turning to sorrow, and your own role. Devas enjoy heaven from past merits, but that expires; they plead to be born human to find a master and gain moksha. Satsang transforms like iron touched by the paras stone becoming gold, but the Guru makes you the Guru. Merge with the Guru’s consciousness as canal water blends into the Ganges, losing ego. Fortunate ones come to satsang, for the jiva alone cannot repeat God’s name; old karmas slap you toward distraction. Settle all debts—material and emotional—for even one unpaid answer blocks the path to Brahmaloka. Work ceaselessly to uplift consciousness, or fall back into lower wombs. Become a deva-svarupa first: do not cheat, be helpful. Then the divine nectar of Ram’s name makes all worldly pleasures tasteless. "Where there is love, there is no distance. And when there is no love, even a neighbor’s door is too far." "This satsang is Satya Yuga. Now we are sitting in Satya Yuga." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Public lecture from Split, Croatia

The everlasting self is the core truth, while the body and mind are temporary. The individual soul reflects the one universal consciousness, differentiated by karma. Fulfilling one's inherent duty protects and is protected by that duty. Human life is for self-realization, to know one's true nature as the Ātmā, not the body or soul. Practice is essential; efforts continue beyond a single lifetime. Health is foundational happiness, gained through personal discipline. Yoga and Āyurveda are sciences for holistic well-being, with consistent practice yielding physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. A pure heart and positive conduct define spirituality, which naturally harmonizes one's life. "Dharma rakṣita rakṣitaḥ. If you protect your dharma, dharma will protect you." "Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health." Filming location: Split, Croatia

Public lecture from Zabgreb, Croatia

The Ājñā Chakra is the seat of inner knowledge and the gateway to Self-realization. This psychic center, known as the third eye, is where the three primary energy channels merge into oneness. It represents the highest human achievement, beyond animal qualities, where individual consciousness meets the divine. The chakra's two petals resonate with the sound "Haṁ Kṣaṁ," and its essence is the mantra Oṁ. Here resides the Guru Tattva, the inner guiding light of wisdom, not merely a person. When consciousness ascends to this point through meditation, past karmas dissolve, and one experiences the unity of knower, knowledge, and the object of knowledge. This leads to liberation from the cycle of birth and death, tasting the nectar of immortality. "Love every living being, if not more, then at least as much as you love yourself." "No weapons can destroy it. Fire cannot burn it... I am that immortal Self." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

A Satsaṅg on Pašman Island: The Master's Examination

A master observes disciples to test their true spiritual attainment beyond mere words. The ancient sage Patañjali would take his disciples on retreats, observing their conduct. He announced a test to see who had transcended worldly attachments and ego. One disciple claimed to have realized the supreme Self, stating nothing existed, not even master or disciple. To test this, the master raised a bamboo stick. The disciple reacted with anger, proving his ego remained. The master then sent him away for further practice. This illustrates that realization is shown through unshakable equanimity, not philosophical claims. Modern practitioners are similarly examined through their daily actions, respect for sacred elements, and dignified conduct, distinguishing a true spiritual aspirant from mere worldly behavior. "The master said, 'Oh, you said nothing exists in you. From where did it come out?'" "Respect the water element, respect the fire element, respect the air element." Filming location: Croatia

The Nature of Bhajan and the Journey of the Sūrat

The nature of bhajan and the journey of the sūrat, or consciousness, is explained. A bhajan is a spiritual song containing God's name, philosophy, inspiration, and answers. It differs from simple prayer. Bhajans express the inner states and functions of the human body. The sūrat is likened to a virgin girl, representing one's pure inner feeling and intention. This sūrat travels through countless lifetimes, not the physical body. Its ultimate marriage is union with the ātmā, the true Self. When consciousness merges with the Self, all worldly identifications dissolve. This union is the aim of spiritual practice. "Without a husband, I was known as a married one. Without ātmā jñāna, I called myself free." "8.4 million different lives. I was wandering, birth and death, and I did not find the Satguru there." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Mirror of Consciousness and the Journey of the Ātmā

Consciousness is the transparent mirror of the self, which becomes polluted by negativity, ego, and intoxication. Spirituality is the purification of body, mind, and consciousness to reveal the pure ātmā. Impurities like māla, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa cloud our inner vision, preventing the clarity of a seer who perceives past, present, and future. All experience unfolds within this personal consciousness, which can be spoiled quickly by bad habits. After death, the jīvātmā witnesses the film of its own life and karma in the astral realm, facing the consequences alone. One then takes a new birth based on that destiny, receiving a human body as a precious chance for liberation. Theoretical knowledge is useless without consistent practice to purify consciousness and break habitual weaknesses. "Everything is a play of the consciousness. For everything is played in the consciousness." "Ātmā is the Sākṣī, means the witness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Weekend seminar in Umag, Croatia (4/4)

Life is a problem, and the problem is life. Without problems, life is boring; with problems, it is unbearable. One must find the middle way. Accept the natural process of change, such as aging. Attachment and expectation lead to disappointment. Your spiritual wealth, built through mantra, is your true possession that follows you. Material wealth can be lost, but what is in your destiny cannot be taken. Dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa are the four pillars of a balanced life. Money is not bad if used for good. Renounce for others to find happiness. Protect your dharma, and it will protect you. "Without problems, life is boring. With problems, life is unbearable." "Dharma rakṣita rakṣitaḥ: if you protect dharma, dharma will protect you." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

How to accept?

Acceptance is the path to peace. Reality exists unchanged by your opinion. Suffering arises from non-acceptance. Accept reality and then seek protection. The ultimate protection is the name of God. Worship, belief, respect, and adoration dissolve problems. Attachment and expectation are the seeds of disappointment, which arrives through action or inevitable separation like death. Do not blame yourself. Your destiny, the fruit of your karma, contains what no one can take. "Be the change you want to see." "Don’t carry, don’t have, believe in your destiny."

Weekend seminar in Umag, Croatia (3/4)

Human life is for self-realization, not mere existence like animals. Humans possess intellect and are created as protectors of all life, not destructors. The universe originates from infinite space and consciousness, held by divine energy. This energy manifests as creation through vibration, forming the elements. Our true self is the immortal universal consciousness within a mortal individual body. The purpose is to reunite individual consciousness with the universal. Yoga is the science for this union, guiding the awakening of inner energy through the chakras. This awakening brings love, wisdom, and bliss, not danger. Life should be enjoyed positively under guidance to reach the ultimate goal. "Humans are created as protectors, not destructors. Humans are the protectors of the entire planet." "Awakening of Kuṇḍalinī means awakening of love, universal love, awakening of wisdom, contentment, and bliss." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Weekend seminar in Umag, Croatia (2/4)

The Viśuddhi Chakra governs purification, perception, and the release of tension. Negative thinking creates an inner prison of fear and anger, which blocks this chakra. Accepting reality frees you from this prison. The chakra's dysfunction manifests as throat issues, hormonal problems, and psychic pressure. Its purification brings health and clarity. Symbolized by a white elephant representing prosperity and protective energy like Gaṇeśa, this chakra is a gateway where consciousness can expand. Practices like Vajrāsana, deep breathing, and chanting relax the throat and activate this center. It is the final station before higher consciousness, where one must choose progress or fall back through negativity. "It is our thinking which disturbs us and disturbs others." "Accept. There is no other way. If you don’t accept now, after death, you have to accept." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Weekend Seminar in Umag, Croatia (1/4)

Respect the laws of the land where you are a guest. Declare and pay tax on any goods you sell. True giving is the foundation of spiritual life, while taking what is not yours burdens your karma. Your actions, seen or unseen, bear consequences. Correct your conscious mistakes through confession and prayer to find inner peace. Every country has laws for security. You must respect them. Giving is noble, but you must follow legal procedures. What you give is noted in your karma and returns to you. What you take is also noted and will be taken away. You cannot hide anything. A story illustrates this: a man kept donated ghee for himself and suffered the karma alone. Another story tells of a thief who revealed himself by touching his turban when told it was burning. Your conscience knows. Therefore, give love, understanding, and forgiveness. You are born to give. If you have made a mistake, find how to repair it. Pray for forgiveness to remove the burden from your heart. "Be the change you want to see." "What you give will be noted in your karma and will return to you. What you take will also be noted in your karma and will be taken away." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

If we can we should give

The path of spiritual life is giving, not taking. Your hand should always be raised to give, not lowered to take, as taking is a kind of death. All religions teach helping others, and what you give or take is recorded in your karma. Yoga is a way of life, not just exercise; utilize its principles. Humans are imperfect and make mistakes, but be a hero and correct them to create inner peace. A story illustrates this: a king sought a thief who stole from him, promising no punishment and even a reward if the thief confessed. A wise Swāmī, who knows people's thoughts, held a gathering. After a display of power, the thief was identified. The point is that taking brings inner unhappiness. Therefore, give love, forgiveness, food, and understanding. You are born to give; be a channel for divine love. Be satisfied with what you have and be a giver, not a beggar. "Your hand should always be raised to give to someone. Do not put your hand down to take from others." "Be the giver. Do not be the beggar. And whatever you have, be satisfied." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Love is life

The power to shape one's nature and destiny rests within one's own hands. A person is both a friend and an enemy to oneself, creating these relationships through one's own qualities. Human nature encompasses the potential for baseness, divinity, or wickedness. To see change in the world, one must first embody that change. Recognizing and awakening to inherent human qualities leads one toward the divine; to develop or destroy these qualities is a personal responsibility. Jealousy and distraction can corrupt relationships, even between master and disciple, as individuals may scheme to undermine others. The essence of the teaching is that the choice for life, death, success, or failure is always in one's hands until the moment it is not, like a bird held within a fist or a bullet yet unfired. True understanding requires listening completely, as seeing God in one aspect while ignoring His warning in another is a failure of awareness. The time to wake up and learn is now. "Man is himself his own friend, and also his own enemy." "Because the life or death of this bird is in your hands."

Sadhana maintains inner harmony

The Maṇipūra Chakra is the city of jewels, the center of true richness which is good health. This health of body, mind, and soul is realized only through daily practice, not through theory alone. Neglecting practice allows negative qualities like jealousy and anger to return, destroying inner harmony. Discipline is the inner master and key to success; its loss is like a setting sun bringing darkness. The practice awakens love for all neighbors, meaning every creature and element, without condition. This leads to freedom from being a slave to senses or dependencies. The ultimate happiness is devotion to the Supreme, an everlasting love, and the wisdom that comes when the Kuṇḍalinī's purifying fire burns all karma in the Maṇipūra center. This awakening reveals the inner fountain of joy and unites all in one spiritual family, protected by a pure consciousness no negative energy can penetrate. "Tons of theory are nothing compared to a gram of practice." "Discipline is your inner master. That best master will lead you twenty-four hours." Filming location: Slovenia

Yoga gives Hapiness to Body, Mind and Soul

The call is to awaken from spiritual sleep. You came to yoga seeking harmony for body, mind, and soul. This is the stated goal. Yet, the promised transformation has not occurred. The problem is not with yoga, which is the divine principle of universal balance. The problem lies within. Where there is indulgence and attachment, there is illness. Yoga dispels these, just as sunlight dispels darkness or fresh air clears a fogged window. But you cling to your desires. Human life is meant for realizing the Self and attaining the knowledge of immortality. Without this knowledge, one remains like an animal. Time is passing. Every lost moment is gone forever. You suffer because you are entangled in the world of illusion, where fear and conflict reign. The only true refuge is in divine grace and sincere devotion. Surrender completely. Pray with a pure heart, and liberation from this chain of suffering is possible. "Either yoga is not that which can give you harmony, or you didn’t understand; it didn’t touch your heart yet." "Human life is given to collect and realize knowledge."

32nd anniversary

The eternal light in Vienna marks thirty-two years of continuous spiritual significance. This flame represents a commitment to higher consciousness and global harmony. It requires constant, dedicated care to maintain its presence. After twelve years, the light is said to attain a perfected spiritual power, known as siddhi or śaṅkalpa śakti. We extend congratulations to the Vienna Āshram for this enduring symbol. Its purpose is for the awakening of consciousness and the protection of all life. It stands as a beacon for love, mercy, and world peace. This anniversary is celebrated through modern connections like webcast and email. The light's perpetual burn is a testament to sustained spiritual practice. Its meaning transcends the physical flame to embody universal goodwill. "thirty years of eternal light for the awakening of consciousness, for the protection of the environment, for love and mercy to all creatures, and for world peace—that is what this light stands for." "After twelve years, the light attains siddhi, śaṅkalpa śakti." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Fulfillment of all desires in your mind

A mantra is the instrument for the mind's fulfillment and liberation. 'Man' signifies mind, and 'tra' signifies fulfillment—the satisfaction of all mental desires. 'Tra' also signifies liberation, meaning to free the mind and senses from all binding objects and desires that cause unhappiness and restlessness. This process of purification and focus through the mantra refines consciousness. It moves awareness from identification with form to the formless. The consistent practice liberates one from the seeds of latent impressions. This journey leads from seeded to seedless absorption. "‘man’ means mind, and ‘tra’ means trāpti." "Liberate your mind and your senses from all objects and desires which make you unhappy and restless." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Seva Bhava and Prema Bhava

The divine state of service matures into unconditional, radiating love. This universal love has no selfishness; it is a free and selfless radiation that cannot be hidden. When the consciousness is filled with this love, it is a very high state of being. The combination of this loving attitude and the will to serve generates divine energy and bliss, making one tireless in action. It transforms duty into joy and makes the heart an endless, universal ocean. Through humble service performed with love, God works for the devotee and even assumes their duties. This unity of service and love leads to supreme spiritual states. "Love radiates, like kasturi, pačuli, or musk. It doesn’t matter how you keep it or where you keep it, still it will smell." "Where there is love, there is neither hatred, nor greed, nor lust, nor complexes. It is a surrender." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

You need a blessing

Seeking blessings is a fundamental human need for connection and guidance. A traditional concept that a husband is a wife's god is a distortion born of masculine ego, not true devotion. True devotion is humility and kindness between partners. Always seek a blessing or opinion to avoid bad influences, yet know you are capable and independent. Asking creates harmony; for example, always inform parents of your whereabouts to give them peace. This maintains happy family relations. The deepest love comes from parents, and beyond them, from the spiritual guide. Cherish your spiritual community, for these bonds reflect a purified heart. "More than parents, God loves you, and more than God, Gurudev loves you." "Guru Deī Śaraṇa Tumārī." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Ajapa japa

The root of spiritual practice is the Guru's instruction. This teaching establishes one in truth. The words and message of saints remain; we must follow that divine wisdom. The mantra is the vehicle that leads you. Practice the Guru Mantra from the spiritual lineage. At the fifth level, Ajapā, the mantra becomes spontaneous, a constant internal vibration. The prayer is to sing the divine name ceaselessly. At the body's end, the divine stands before you; the aim is to surrender while absorbed in that name. A devotee's final utterance was the name of God, demonstrating a merger of consciousness into the divine through that resonance. "Govinda, merī yeh prathānā—O Lord Govinda, this is my prayer to Thee: I never forget Your name." "Deha ant kale tum sam neho... At the end time of this body, You are standing in front of me."

Narmadeshvar

You may take Amṛt for your entire life. This Mahāprasād can be further energized. There is a holy river named the Narmadā. Stones in this river are naturally shaped into forms resembling a Śiva Liṅgam. These are called Narmadeśvara Śiva Liṅgams. Place one on your altar. In the morning, wash and dry it. Perform an abhiṣeka on the Liṅgam with the liquid Amṛt while reciting the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra five times. Pour a few drops onto it while chanting. Afterwards, pour a little milk, then honey, then water. You may then partake of that offering. That stone carries a unique vibration. A large rock is tumbled in the river countless times until it is worn down. This constant turning imbues it with a specific energy. It is a matter of vibrational essence. This stone possesses distinct vibrations. Therefore, you may take Amṛt every day, or every Monday and Thursday. You could also take a break for a month after a year. Taking it daily is perfectly fine. "Perform an abhiṣeka on the Śiva Liṅgam while reciting the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra five times." "This stone, having been rolled millions upon millions of times, possesses distinct vibrations." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Mamata

The mind's bondage stems from mamatā, the sense of "mine," which is the root of all suffering. The mind does not die until this possessiveness is purified. Through countless lifetimes, only the body perishes, while hope and longing persist. These three—mamatā, hope, and longing—are the causes of all troubles with family, society, and the self. The mind is a powerful, wandering force that must be controlled. Give the mind a mantra and a mālā for meditation; when it wanders, bring it back relentlessly. Mental repetition of the mantra is essential, as stopping it allows the mind to govern and leads to darkness. Practice mentally at all times to find inner peace and overcome loneliness and restless desires. Train the mind to distinguish itself from the true Self. "Man maran mamatā marī, mar mar gayā śarīra, Asā tṛṣṇā na mitī marī." "Mamatva hī duḥkhāṅkakāraṇa hai." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Science of the Mantra

Mantras are a practical, oral wisdom for specific purposes, from healing bites to guiding creatures. This knowledge is not written but transmitted directly between individuals under strict discipline. It must be performed as selfless service without any material exchange; accepting even tea nullifies the mantra's power. This practice is known by simple, devoted people in communities. The wisdom operates on principles like following a guru's word; violating these causes the knowledge to vanish from memory, much like forgetting a dream. If written down or shared carelessly, the knowledge is misused and disappears entirely, leaving no benefit for anyone. "Nie zapísano. Secondly, za druhé, druho: you should never ask for anything in return." "If you do not follow the Guruvākyā (the Guru's word), then that wisdom will simply disappear from you, as if you never had it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Traslation of Mira Bai's bhajan

The essence of devotion is a burning longing for divine union, exemplified by Mīrā's viraha. Her bhajans express an unbearable separation from God. She declares survival is impossible without the beloved's presence. She pleads for darśana, describing a profound suffering. Her state is likened to a waterless lotus or a moonless night. This longing extinguishes hunger and sleep, creating an inexpressible inner fire. Only the Lord's merciful appearance can quench this agony of separation. Her devotion is an eternal pledge of servitude across all lifetimes. This is the song of viraha. "Without you, I cannot survive, I cannot live." "I am burning, burning. In this desire and longing, only this fire of viraha can be calmed down." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

This life is very short

Lead a normal life with awareness. A relationship's initial joy naturally fades, but suffering is unnecessary. Recreate that initial feeling through conscious duty and growing love. This creates harmony for partners and children. Yet, all partnerships end in the pain of separation, as life is fleeting like a water bubble. Therefore, be kind and helpful while you can, for you depart alone. When afraid, use prayer or mantra as a weapon against ignorance. Soon, the study of chakras will reveal life's joy. "Oh Lord, day by day, my love should grow for you." "You came alone, and you go alone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Bīja Mantra of Maṇipūra

The bīja mantra of the Maṇipūra Cakra is Raṃ, which is the sound of the universal Ātmā known as Rāma. Chanting from the navel utilizes the Parā level of sound. The union of prāṇa and apāna at this cakra allows pure consciousness to enter the central Suṣumṇā channel, ascending to the supreme door of the Sahasrāra. Through dedicated mantra and prāṇāyāma practice, the cakras purify and the Kuṇḍalinī awakens. The sound resonates from the navel, with the 'M' reaching the nasal space at the Ājñā Cakra, creating a flute-like resonance through the Amṛtandhra. Sit straight with aligned posture to facilitate this inner resonance. "Brahma means the Supreme, the highest sovereign. It is the door to the supreme." "The resonance of the Rāma Mantra, 'Rām,' comes from the Maṇipūra—'Ra' is in Maṇipūra, 'A' is coming up, and 'M' goes to the nasal space—it becomes such a beautiful resonance." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

What is the reality?

The present determines the future. Do not dwell on the past. Your future is shaped by your present actions and thoughts. Destiny is created by your own karma. You are your own liberator through your conduct. Heaven is not a physical place to be imagined but a state realized. Reality is that which does not change, unlike this mortal world. Positive energy and vibration guide you toward the divine. Ancient teachings urge a movement from darkness to light and from unreality to reality. "Past is past." "Lead us from the darkness to the light." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Give up your attachment

The mind must abandon its dispassion and false imagination to be shown the Ātmā. A child is attached to toys, crying if they are taken. As a teenager, one seeks other toys, with jealousy and anger growing stronger. People become attached to relationships, claiming they will die if a partner leaves, only to find a new "toy" later. Hobbies like having a dog become new attachments. Then spirituality is found, becoming a new toy, but God is different, for God cannot disappoint. A seeker once wanted a guru who did not eat, drink, or require anything. She was told to accept a stone, for a living guru will have human needs. One must find a true Satguru. First, understand the master's words, called Guru Vākya. Then perform Guru-sevā, which means serving all creatures. When service is accepted, one receives Guru Kṛpā, the mercy that is the root of liberation. "God cannot disappoint you. That is something else." "The root of liberation is in the mercy of the Gurudeva." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

RAM mantra

A spiritual discourse on the power of the divine name. "Rām, Rām, Rām. Rām, Rām, Rām. Rām, Rām, Rām." "Rām, Rām, Rām. Rām, Rām, Rām. Rām, Rām, Rām." The video consists of a continuous, rhythmic chanting of the name "Rām," repeated as a mantra. There is no other speech or narrative, creating a meditative focus on the sacred sound and its spiritual vibration. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

SRI DEEP NIRANJAN SABA DUKHA BHANJAN mantra

The mantra Śrī Dīpa Nirañjana provides complete protection from all afflictions. Planetary influences, negative spirits, and all three forms of suffering cannot affect one who holds this mantra. No further ritual is required. This mantra purifies the mind of negative energy, thoughts, and fear. Negative words and actions are a harmful mantra, but this divine sound creates an impenetrable shield. Positive mantras begin with positive thinking, abandoning harsh speech. Singing bhajans and prayers are themselves mantra, as is the constant repetition of the divine name. God resides not in a heavenly abode or a yogi's heart, but where devotees sing His name with love. This is the personal deity. Therefore, do not react with anger or expectation, as others may not respond immediately. The sound of prayer or a flute needs no translation, for it is the direct language of the heart. "Graha gochar kā pāp nahīṁ lage, graha gochar kā tāp nahīṁ lage." "I am not in Vaikuṇṭha, nor in the heart of the yogīs... I am there, O Nārada, where my bhaktas, my devotees, sing my name with love." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Anahat Chakra

Yoga is the balance and union between individual consciousness and cosmic consciousness, creating harmony. This union is the resonance of OM, the primal sound from which all creation emerges. The human body is a microcosm of this universal principle, composed of five elements and governed by a network of 72,000 energy channels. The central channel, Suṣumnā, is flanked by Iḍā and Piṅgalā, which must be balanced. The purpose of human life is self-realization, which requires cultivating divine qualities over animalistic ones. The heart center, Anāhata Cakra, is the seat of unconditional love and spiritual devotion. Its awakening grants artistic talent and the power of positive intention. Purification of the energy centers, through practices like mantra repetition, leads toward liberation from the cycle of karma and destiny. "Where the balance takes place, there is harmony. And therefore, where there is yoga, there is harmony." "The Anāhata Cakra is the center of devotion, the center of love—the love of a mother and the love of a devotee. These are two everlasting loves." Filming locations: Zagreb, Croatia.

The Ashram: A Place of Spiritual Effort

An ashram is a place for disciplined spiritual effort, distinct from a temple. Temples are for ritual worship and have religious or artistic value, while ashrams are for personal spiritual work. The term derives from the Sanskrit root for exertion. Here, individuals engage in personal spiritual practice to build their own experience, free from normal distractions. Inhabitants live in celibacy, follow a vegetarian diet, and practice spiritual techniques while doing charitable work. They build their own temples and cultivate the land. The essential process is the inner transformation within each resident. Through physical, mental, and meditative work, they undergo a personality change. Residing here offers personal freedom and a liberated spirit, free from prejudices. One example is an ashram in Rajasthan promoting tolerance and respect. "The āśrama is therefore a place where mental effort is exerted as a result of spiritual practice." "By residing in such a place, a person gains the possibility of experiencing personal freedom and the ability of a completely liberated spirit." Filming location: India

The Kumbh Melā: A Confluence of Time, Faith, and Nectar

The Kumbh Mela is the greatest spiritual festival, timed by astrology and rooted in myth. It fulfills a need for mass spiritual experience. Legends say gods and demons churned the ocean for the nectar of immortality, Amrita. The god Dhanvantari emerged with the pot. A struggle ensued, and drops of nectar fell at four sacred sites: Haridwar, Nashik, Prayag, and Ujjain. The festival occurs when specific constellations align over these places. At Prayag, the confluence of three sacred rivers is celebrated. Bathing there on the auspicious day is believed to grant supreme blessings. It is one of the world's largest gatherings, with tens of millions participating. The united effort of diverse spiritual paths at this sacred time is thought to generate immense spiritual power for the world's benefit. "Time belongs to all religions, which is why India is the most auspicious place for the Kumbh Melā." "The belief is that much can be achieved for the benefit of the world through united efforts." Filming location: Maha Kumbha Mela, India

The Seed of Practice

Faithful practice is the seed of attainment. Humans suffer greatly from their relationships and have abused nature beyond even animals, becoming the most developed yet most troubled creature. Intellectual knowledge alone is insufficient; devoted practice is essential. A story illustrates this: two brothers pursued different paths—one intellectual knowledge, the other devotional practice. The intellectual brother criticized the devotee's ritual errors. Later, seeing the devotee walk on water through pure faith, the intellectual realized his own knowledge was hollow. He was told the key is a pure heart in practice, not perfect technique, just as a seed grows regardless of how it is sown if the soil is good. Do not waste time in deliberation; practice faithfully with what you have. "Too much reading also leads you nowhere. It’s only intellectual information. Therefore, practicing is very important." "When you will pray with a pure heart, a good heart, if your mantra is pronounced correctly or incorrectly... The fruits will be there." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Foundations of Consciousness: Understanding the Chakras

The chakras are borders of consciousness. Energy centers are located at the body's major joints, marking transitions between kingdoms of nature. Concentrating on the earth chakra at the feet can lead to depression and accelerated aging. The area from ankles to knees governs animal consciousness and behavior. The five human chakras remain mixed with these lower qualities. The Ājñā Chakra is the border between human and divine consciousness. Awakening it reveals the inner master, though the outer master remains essential. Confusion arises when this center is clouded by intellect and ego. Ājñā means command, granting authority over the senses and freedom from karma. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the root foundation of physical and psychic stability. Its red color symbolizes the energy of Mother Earth, blood, and Śakti. This energy is worshipped as the divine feminine. The lotus flower symbolizes pure devotion and love, remaining unstained by the world. "Gu means darkness, and Ru means light. You enter into the light of wisdom, and you cross the border of this darkness." "Ājñā means order. Ājñā means command. So you become the commander because you know what to do."

The Marwari Horse and the Land of Mahāpradeś

The Marwari horse embodies a unique creation rooted in its land. Its eyes are a paramount feature, open and receptive. True creation must surpass the merely obvious to be sufficient. A unique moderated species arises, distinct from others. This creative force is firmly rooted yet troubled, seeking comfort. The people have cultivated a land where such creation can settle undisturbed. The horse's qualities are represented by dual symbols like salt and love. These elements are part of a purifying ritual. The essence is preserved through specific, grounded practices. "Marwari breed is one of the finest breeds produced in Rajasthan. One of its best features is the eyes." "That concludes aṣṭamaṅgala, which is one of the purifying signs." Filming location: India

A Spiritual Visit to Croatia

The visit celebrated Croatia's spiritual openness and shared universal values through cultural exchange and yoga teachings. A valuable historical book on Croatian architecture was presented in recognition of decades of humanitarian work. Public seminars on Yoga in Daily Life were held, focusing on awakening inner potential and explaining yoga as the harmonizing principle between cosmic consciousness and the universe. Lectures on energetic centers continued a multi-year cycle. Meetings with officials emphasized universal messages of peace and environmental stewardship, symbolized by planting olive trees as a wish for peace and a reminder to protect nature. "It is very important to preserve your original culture, and this beautiful book that preserves ancient Croatian culture and architecture is a very good way to do so." "I wish that all who come under this tree may find peace and harmony, love and understanding." Filming location: Croatia

The Spiritual Ascent of Humanity

The spiritual ascent of humanity begins with the evolutionary cycle of life. The human mind was granted the opportunity to think beyond its own consciousness and seek the roots of existence for the entire universe. This search births a spirituality that elevates beings beyond limited existence. The essential essence begins in the material person. This community collaborates with people who, following their differences, come together. We examine the significance of significance. The next communities are considered. We came from Māyā or Atlantis. "The human mind was granted the opportunity to think spiritually beyond its own consciousness and to seek the roots of its existence." "We, the Hungarians, came from Māyā or Atlantis." Filming locations: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.

You are Infinite, Pula

Yoga is the science of body, mind, and soul, with its essence found in kuṇḍalinī and cakras. This is a practical reality, not mere theory. The eternal, unchanging consciousness is your true self; knowing this ends suffering. Life is governed by karma, the law of cause and effect from every thought and deed. Yoga means union—balancing and harmonizing the individual with the cosmic. The human system contains 72,000 nāḍīs, or energy channels. Three primary channels—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā—relate to mind, intellect, and consciousness. These intersect, forming psychic centers called chakras. Their awakening leads to health, wisdom, and ultimately, liberation through union with the supreme consciousness. "Know thyself is the answer to all your questions, and we are out from all the sufferings and darkness of ignorance." "Yoga means union. Union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness."

Seva Dharma is greatest Dharma

Service is the greatest duty, a path of helping others in all ways. Teaching is a golden opportunity for service, generating good karma. A teacher carries a divine light that must be shared to remain fresh, like moving water that does not spoil. True teaching requires surrendering the role of the doer to the divine, allowing it to speak through you. A genuine teacher is not made in a short course but through deep study of anatomy, psychology, and ancient wisdom, understanding the individual, not general, nature of yoga. The ultimate aim transcends cycles of heaven and rebirth, which are limited or burdensome, to realize oneness with Brahman, becoming universal consciousness. "Seva Dharma is the greatest Dharma—the duty to serve or to help." "If you think that you are speaking, then that water is merely water in a tank, and that water will soon finish because a tank has no source of inflow." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Master and Disciple Tradition

A master transmits spiritual knowledge to a disciple. There are three types of disciples: the worst avoids tasks, the middle one acts only when told, and the best anticipates and acts. A master selects from these. This mirrors how a wasp identifies a specific worm destined to transform into its own kind; the chosen disciple is the one who hungrily receives the teaching. The connection between master and disciple spans lifetimes. The master transmits the spiritual light—the soul or ātmā—to the disciple through blessings and a final conscious transfer, often at the moment of the master's death, ensuring the living continuity of the tradition. This eternal master-disciple lineage is the core of a living religion. The transmission requires the disciple to renounce personal interest and cultivate a universal consciousness. The master must be strict to properly prepare the disciple, much as family tradition is passed with care to sustain it. "All the ṛṣis were married and had children, yet even they could not give their wisdom to their children—only to the disciple." "The master lets this light go through the Ājñā Chakra into the disciple. How? Through blessings." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

You should have a Satsang in every Center

Satsaṅg and deep reflection on spiritual teachings are essential. Hold gatherings to read from sacred texts. Then, engage in manana, meaning to think over and grasp the essence of what was read. You must reflect deeply. Consider how a person dwells on a casual insult all day, feeling shame and repeatedly questioning it. Apply that same persistent, contemplative focus to the Guru's words. Reflect upon spiritual teachings with that intensity until you discover the truth within them. The practice is to contemplate the sacred utterance because of its profound significance. "Similarly, you should also think about spiritual words, the Guru Vākyas. Reflect upon them until you find the truth within them." "In the same manner, you must contemplate the Guru Vākya because of the significance of what is said." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Anāhata Chakra: Ocean and Waves

The Anāhata Chakra is an endless ocean of emotion and the cosmic Self. Its waves are individual souls, which are not different from the ocean itself. Just as water is connected to the changing moon and mind, emotion is movement and purification. The wave, like the individual soul, originates from and will merge back into the ocean. There is no true difference between the individual self and the supreme Self; the distinction is our own creation. In meditation, one feels as a wave merging into the ocean, as consciousness unites with cosmic consciousness. Self-realization occurs here but requires many experiences. This is only possible through service to the Master, which requires understanding the Master's holy words. The essence of all mantras is these words. One must meditate on the Master's form to become one with it, like an unlit candle receiving light from a lit one. "Abhaṁ guru caraṇa sukhapāya, sāgara lehara samāya." "Dhyāna mūlaṁ guru mūrti."

In Anahat Chakra wishes come true

The awakened Anāhata Chakra fulfills wishes, demanding wisdom in their use. Your heart center, when awakened, grants your desires. This power requires caution, as thought manifests reality. A traveler in a desert found a Kalpavṛkṣa, a wish-fulfilling tree. Sitting under it, his every thought materialized: food, water, a bed. Yet, his fearful thought of a ghost created one, which then killed him. Human life itself is this tree. Your own thinking, especially negative thoughts, can destroy you. Awakening the Anāhata strengthens your Saṅkalpa Śakti, your willpower. However, this must be guided by the Āgyā Chakra, the intellect's seat, for discernment. Without this balance, you risk severe problems. Purify desires before awakening the heart. Avoid negative habits and societies that lead astray, like mistaking drugs for divine consciousness. The power is immense, but intellect must direct it to ensure wishes yield positive, not destructive, fruits. "It is your own thinking that kills you." "You must know what it is that you are going to do, and what fruits will come." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Enter into Atam Gyana

Entering Ātmā Jñāna is to realize the self through love and truth. It is not about closing your eyes but living without negative thoughts, seeing all beings as the self. Like the Pāras stone turns iron to gold, turn negativity into the divine. Without supreme love, Brahmānandam, you cannot enter. The state is Sat-chit-ānanda: truth dispels gossip and anger, divine consciousness is everywhere, and bliss arises from their union. This self-realization makes the limited individual limitless. To achieve it, follow the spiritual path faithfully. The Anāhata Chakra is the center of this self, which is love. Having this love means God appears in your heart, guiding action, such as vegetarianism, which respects life. Human life is divine but confusing; one must constantly contemplate one's mission and true nature. "All living beings are myself, and myself is the supreme one." "Where there is truth, there is everything forgiven." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Where there is richness there is no more spirituality

Spiritual wealth is inversely related to material comfort, where prosperity often leads to forgetting the divine. After the Mahābhārata, Kṛṣṇa prepared to depart for Dvārakā. He offered to grant a wish to Kuntī. She requested that devotees receive troubles and non-believers receive a comfortable life. Kṛṣṇa questioned her, though he understood her intent. She explained that excessive happiness makes one forget God's name, as comfort breeds spiritual neglect. People engage in religion only for social occasions. In contrast, suffering constantly reminds one to call upon God. Problems invoke continuous prayer, while wealth confines spirituality to an altar. True happiness resides where God's name is remembered, not where money accumulates. "I throw the big rock on that happiness which keeps me away, or lets the name of God disappear from the heart." "I adore, I surrender to those problems which remind me every second of Thy name." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Kapilmuni, who is known as an incarnation of Lord Visnu. Everyone is a child of some Rishi.

Kapil Muni is a divine sage and incarnation of Viṣṇu from the age of the ṛṣis. These sages lived for millennia, engaged in tapasyā, which is the deep research and meditation through which they discovered all truths. A true master does not give quick solutions but assigns long-term research, like understanding vairāgya over thousands of years. Many rush between masters, but real discipline requires steadfastness. The seat of authority, like the Vyāsagādī, is what is revered, not merely the person occupying it. Kapil Muni possessed all spiritual powers but never demonstrated them, as exhibition enslaves one. He formulated the Sāṅkhya philosophy, which Kṛṣṇa praises. Every human is spiritually connected to an ancestral ṛṣi, whose lineage exists in your blood and consciousness. "Through tapasyā, discover what you realize and how you feel through vairāgya—not for one day or five days, but for a thousand years." "Among the siddhas, I am Kapil Muni."

The wonderful tree "Neem Narayan"

The neem tree, known as Neem Nārāyaṇa, possesses divine healing qualities. This large, bitter tree yields medicinal parts. Its powder can heal skin, purify blood, and strengthen the body. Use it as a facial mask for pimples or a paste for stubborn wounds. A neem bath alleviates allergies and itching. Drinking neem tea daily boosts immunity, prevents diabetes, and aids digestion. It improves eyesight, hair quality, and nail strength. The tea also purifies blood, supports kidneys, and removes gallstones. Neem water serves as a natural pesticide for plants and a cleaner for household spaces. "To sit in the daytime under the neem tree is a kind of healing process." "It improves the immune system in the body. And it is the biggest prevention against diabetes." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
