Reading books alone doesn't make you wise

True wisdom is found not in books but in love, which requires the Guru's grace and inner transformation. Many scriptures contain wisdom, but wisdom itself makes one wise. Merely reading books does not grant wisdom; understanding the essence of love does. Where love exists, all virtues like forgiveness and harmony are present. Without it, all is lost and negativity arises. This cannot be learned without the Guru's grace and word. You may travel the world and complete all pilgrimages, but if you have not journeyed within and changed yourself, it is meaningless. Consider the man who meticulously washed his donkey until it shone. Upon being freed, the donkey immediately found a pile of ash and rolled in it. Similarly, satsang and holy places cleanse the heart, but if your inner habits remain unchanged, you revert to foolishness like that donkey. "By reading books, centuries past, no one became a great wise man. For those who read the two and a half letters of love, they became wise." "You may struggle through the whole world and complete all holy pilgrimages, but if you have not made the pilgrimage within yourself, if you have not changed yourself, it is nothing."

Your gratest enemy and stupidity is when you are offended. You can't digest the truth.

The core human mission is to remember your divine nature and neutralize negative tendencies. When you think "I am human," negative qualities fall away. Counter anger or jealousy by affirming your pure humanity. Many problems stem from forgetting who we are. This isn't discrimination but fulfilling your purpose: to unite and open the heart. Universal principles like love and happiness belong to all. When animalistic energy awakens, feelings turn negative—anger, hate, jealousy, greed. These are major obstacles. Taking offense destroys spiritual progress; it means you cannot digest truth or understand another's situation. Being a slave to your senses prevents true happiness, as the world constantly changes. Life is a flowing river; you cannot relive a single minute. Know your mission. Do not hate anyone, as hatred is a primary sign of ignorance. "Whenever any negative tendencies awaken in your consciousness, you should neutralize them with the thought of being a very pure, divine human being." "As long as you are the slave of your senses, there cannot be samādhi, and without samādhi you cannot be happy and content." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Why we can't get self realisation?

The obstacle to Self-realization is within you, due to a lack of dispassion, renunciation, and austerity. Trying to do everything leads to losing everything, just as watering every leaf with a leaky basket kills the tree, while watering the roots nourishes the whole. Running between masters shows inner conflict, a lack of discipline, and doubt. A seeker spent decades with many masters, gaining nothing, and grew opposed to the path. He returned to his first master to criticize him. The master assigned him to dig a well, but changed the location each day for nine days, ruining the garden with no result. On the tenth day, the frustrated seeker protested the wasted effort. The master revealed this mirrored his own life: digging many holes in his heart by constantly shifting his focus, destroying his field of confidence and achieving nothing. Had he stayed in one place with one practice, he would have attained wisdom. "If you perfect one thing, you perfect everything. Conversely, if you try to do everything, you will lose everything." "For thirty-six years, forty years, you wasted time running here and there. You made so many holes in your heart. You destroyed your field of confidence." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Kumbha Mela

The Kumbha Melā is a universal spiritual gathering. The ancient rivers predate all named religions, making the festival for all humanity, though preserved by Hindu tradition. Millions arrive without invitation, drawn by a divine pull. Despite the immense crowd, a perfect humanitarian system provides free food, medical aid, and infrastructure on the sandy riverbank. Yet, severe austerity is evident: pilgrims endure cold with thin cloth, travel barefoot for months, and wait on wet sand. The environment is harsh, with evening smoke burning the eyes, yet devotion persists. This demonstrates profound faith and tapasyā. Historical teaching was direct: masters gave one principle, like renunciation, and disciples returned only after fully realizing it. "Early in the morning, when they prepare hot tea, they announce through loudspeakers that tea and breakfast are ready, inviting people to come. It is all without any charge." "Then they came back and said, 'Master, I have Vairāgya.' Of course, the Master was testing them." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

We have to maintain our wellbeing ourselves

Maintain your own well-being; outer help is merely a walking stick. Whether healthy or unhealthy, stressed or depressed, only you can help yourself. External aid is supplemental, like a walking stick that cannot walk for you. When feeling exhausted, stressed, or anxious, meditate. Concentrate on the breath, through which cosmic energy enters and you radiate energy. Think you are surrounded by energy. Walk and feel yourself within energy and light. Repeat your mantra. Feel the divine presence. Relaxing your body and breath while imagining energy helps immediately. Food, people, and trees are all full of energy. This energy is from you. "Everything is full of energy. And this energy is from you." "May God bless you with all good things, and may all problems disappear with this year." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

How to practice, what to eat, how to live for your health?

A dietary regimen for regulating blood pressure and health over ten months. Adhere to a fruit and vegetable diet, a phalāhāra. Fast weekly. Eat any fruits, limiting bananas. Consume abundant salad. Tofu is limited. Nuts and seeds are permitted in moderation. Avoid potatoes, grains, bread, and most milk products; only milk and yogurt are allowed. Eat boiled vegetables without spices. Potatoes are allowed only once weekly; avoid rice. Eat a handful of dāl daily. This practice, a kind of kāyaka chalana, will lower blood pressure, balance cholesterol, and make you feel lighter. Drink plenty of water and juice. Exercise regularly. Follow this diet for three weeks yearly for major disease prevention. An Ayurvedic principle states to eat all six tastes daily, consuming sweet first. Eating sweet ten minutes before a meal allows insulin to utilize it effectively, preventing sickness. "Following this, you will see blood pressure decrease significantly and cholesterol balance." "Eating sweet last can gradually lead to type 2 diabetes." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Intellect and wisdom

Wisdom is the container; intellect is its content. No complete cure for Parkinson's exists, but vitamin C, fruits, and a high vitamin intake can slow its progression. For fear, panic, or brain imbalance: increase vitamin C and practice Prāṇāyāma. Yoga Nidrā is also very beneficial, though improvement takes time. A daily regimen of honey, lemon juice, almond paste, and Badeva paste in room-temperature water, taken on an empty stomach, helps regenerate the system and relax brain tension. "more vitamin C and Prāṇāyāma. Also, Yoga Nidrā is very good." "This will help regenerate the system and relax the tension released from the brain." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The king also have to follow the law

The Holy Rāmāyaṇa is a story of divine principles and human ethics. It centers on God Rāma, the ideal being who follows ethical principles and keeps his promises. The narrative includes the loyalty of his family. A teaching story is shared about a king of dharma, Dharmarāja, who declared himself above the law. A master then struck this king three times with a stick called Dharmadaṇḍa, demonstrating that dharma itself punishes those who stray from it. This stick represents the enforcement of principle. Dharmarāja is described as the king of dharma and liberation, who invites beings back. Yamarāja is described as the king of adharma and the dead, who forcibly takes beings away. The lesson is that ethical law applies to everyone. "Daṇḍa means two things: punishment and punishment. Dharma will daṇḍa you; dharma will punish you." "Dharmarāja comes to invite you... When Yamarāja comes, he does not say, 'You please, I'm begging you'; he pulls you." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Be careful, several things can mislead you

The mind's tyranny enslaves us to predictable cycles of suffering. We recognize its patterns yet remain powerless against its next specific creation. Addiction illustrates this bondage, where a promise of reform is broken by evening, driven by the mind's companions: greed, selfishness, and desire. These forces equate producing alcohol to producing drugs, with devastating societal consequences. This condition originates from Kali Yuga's entry into human consciousness, where money became god. The mind's destructive potential is a dormant fire within, like a volcano under snow; when awakened, it melts all resistance. We remain slaves to its cravings until death, where the mind departs only to await the next life. "Kali Yuga entered our mind as greediness, selfishness, and desires." "This mind will turn you into ashes." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Repetition is necessary in order to prevent forgetting

Remembrance is essential for spiritual development. Repetition is the circulation of life. We know reality yet forget, repeating mistakes, bound by saṃsāra. Our inner instrument, the antaḥkaraṇa, requires daily purification like a room. It consists of mind, intellect, ego, and consciousness. The mind, with its desires, dominates life and can be friend or enemy. One must not be enslaved by it. The true Self is the sovereign king. Discernment, Viveka, is the inner guide and the intellect's highest function. The intellect must awaken to Viveka's truth. "Repetition is circulation. That is life." "As long as you are a slave of your mind, you will not achieve anything." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Dharma sometimes makes the master and disciple live and work in a physical distance

Disciples are like plants that thrive when replanted. Being sent away is not a sign of disfavor but of love and necessity for growth and service. Physical distance is nothing; being far can bring you nearer. For divine work, five principles are essential: knowledge, detachment, willpower, renunciation, and devotion. Renounce personal glory and act only for the Guru. A true ascetic travels lightly, carrying only the scriptures and a traditional copper water pot, a symbol of simple, dedicated life. "When I die, look into my eyes; mutely they will say, 'I will be dying.'" "As far as you will be, the nearer you will be to Me." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The last words of Holy Guruji

The final teaching is to cease unnecessary worry and accept what will be. One who receives the Guru's blessing becomes a Guru. Realizing this truth confirms it. Just as salt cannot become sugar, each being has an inherent nature. Therefore, do not fear. What is destined will occur regardless. A story illustrates this: a train carrying Mahatma Gandhi split in the mountains. As his carriage rolled backward, his secretary panicked about dying. Gandhi instructed him to write and utilize the present moment instead. Suffering in anticipation is a waste of time; one should engage in worthwhile action now. Thus, the instruction is to not worry. "Utilize the time now. So what will happen, will happen." "Your true pride, don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t worry... don’t worry." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Which is the best mantra?

The essence of all mantras is the Guru's word. This instruction is the foundation for spiritual development and liberation. The Master's directive, whether a command or a prohibition, is the operative mantra for the disciple. All genuine scriptures convey this same essential teaching. Yet, scriptures also warn of deceitful influences that cause suffering, akin to destructive forces within sacred narratives. Therefore, one is instructed to seek the company of truth. Service to the Guru is proclaimed as supremely valuable. Ultimately, liberation is rooted solely in the Guru's grace. "Maṁtra mūlaṁ guruvākyaṁ." "Mokṣamūlaṁ guru-kṛpā."

Rainwater harvesting program and the neem

The neem tree is a divine gift for health and purity, supporting sustainable development and water projects. We harvest its leaves in a pollution-free zone, drying them in the shade to preserve their essence. The powder protects against viruses and builds immunity when a small amount is consumed daily. For external use, water soaked with neem leaves cleanses the skin and hair beautifully. It can be applied directly to wounds to aid healing. Neem purifies the blood, aids oral health, and can help regulate sugar levels, though its effect on blood pressure varies individually. It disinfects the body and home, serving as a natural cleaner. A paste made from the powder makes an excellent skin mask. Using neem supports holistic well-being and environmental projects. "Consuming a quarter teaspoon of neem leaf powder daily protects against viruses and seasonal flu." "For a wound that does not heal, apply neem powder directly to see its miraculous effect."

Committed young people will become the messengers of wisdom

To master spiritual texts, one must dedicate their life to studying the original Sanskrit. Translations are insufficient, as they lose the original essence. I offer a twelve-year program of study for this purpose. This requires a total life commitment, interrupting all other activities and relationships. Such dedication is rare. If you make this decision, you will become a great messenger of wisdom and light for the world. Financial support can be arranged. Half-knowledge is dangerous; only complete dedication suffices. "Translation always loses some original quality; it becomes second-hand." "Half-knowledge is dangerous; half-knowledge is dangerous." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Meaning of the Guru Purnima

Guru Pūrṇimā is a day of profound spiritual connection. Fortunate are those united with the Master, while those who merely fear or forget the day are unfortunate. The guru principle is immortal and supreme. On this day, rise early, bathe, and listen to the Guru Gītā. Perform worship and prayer, partake of blessed food, and practice mantras. Maintain positive speech and thought. In the evening, cleanse again, prepare a meal as an offering, and attend or organize a gathering. If not possible, listen to devotional songs, read sacred texts, and meditate. We will be together in spirit. "Fortunate are those who can be with the Master on this day." "The guru-tattva is immortal, the highest, and that is sanātana." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Why should not we eat eggs?

Eggs are not considered suitable for a pure, spiritual diet. They are not vegetarian or a milk product, but a life form possessing tamas guṇa, the quality of inertia and impurity. What spoils quickly is considered impure, and eggs spoil even faster than fish. Consuming them affects one's consciousness; it is said eating one egg can disrupt proper meditation for ten days. Ethically, modern egg production causes suffering. Hens are confined, forced to overproduce eggs through chemical means. For a hen, an egg is a potential embryo. This industrial process violates ethical principles of non-harm and purity. "I have heard that Paramahaṁsa Yogānanda... said if you eat one egg, you cannot meditate properly for ten days." "For a hen, the egg is an embryo, and to force a hen to produce so many eggs... is contrary to ethical principles." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Cooperation of the master and disciple

A master's hasty astral journey reveals the interdependence of teacher and disciple. A siddha hears a devotee's prayer from a sinking ship. He urgently projects his astral body to help but exits incorrectly. He cannot re-enter his physical body because he forgot his exit point. His disciple astral projects to guide him back. The master then names the disciple Nābhājī. This Nābhājī later authored the Bhaktamālā, chronicling saints' lives. These saints possessed nothing but a practice blanket. The narrative notes India's past sanctity due to its many saints. The relationship is emphasized: a master may forget, but the disciple must remember the teaching. "Gurudev, if you cannot save me from this ocean, then how will you save me from the ocean of Māyā?" "The Master may forget, but the disciple must not forget." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Be the channel between God and people

The greatest gift is sharing spiritual knowledge, for it preserves wisdom beyond one's own life. Yoga in Daily Life is a complete, global spiritual system, not merely physical practices. Teaching it channels spiritual energy drawn from our lineages, ultimately from Mahāprabhujī. When you impart this knowledge with conscious awareness and mantra, you become an instrument for that divine light and love to flow through you to others. Knowledge must be used and shared; if kept stagnant, it is forgotten, but when given freely, it is continually renewed. "If you do not give your knowledge, this knowledge will disappear with your death." "Like a water wheel: as much water you take out, always comes the new." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The definition of Yoga -- where there is balance there is no suffering

Yoga is the universal principle of balance, the uniting force between all things, from consciousness to matter. Without this balance, suffering arises. The word itself derives from "yoke," the device that balances two oxen. All cosmic elements exist in this equilibrium, which produces harmony. For humanity, balance means shared understanding, ending conflict. Intellect disrupts balance; practice creates harmony. Harmony yields unity, and unity yields power. This same principle of balance, harmony, and union must apply to the human being—integrating body, mind, emotion, and intellect. Yoga is not a narrow subject but a uniting power present in every atom. "Yoga means the balancing principle." "Where there is unity, there is power. Where there is duality, there is no power."

Live together in harmony and love -- the old and young people should be in harmony

A teacher of completeness is one who gives knowledge onward, for a well does not drink its own water. To teach selfishly ensures failure, as the knowledge will disappear. Therefore, develop discipline with your knowledge and do not search for mistakes in others. The mistake is in you. Generations inevitably fail to understand each other; those who are older must learn to give the key to their treasure to the young before they are declared ready for the old-age home. The threshold of being considered old decreases rapidly, yet the young possess greater enduring capacity and power. They have learned much and must be brought forward to become teachers themselves, giving the knowledge onward under the guidance of experienced instructors, all living in harmony under one umbrella. "The well does not drink its own water—it gives it onward." "Do not search for mistakes in others. The mistake is in you." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Story about banjan tree

Life is ever-changing. An ancient banyan tree mourned the loss of its last leaf, feeling alone and fearing its accumulated wisdom would be lost. A gardener pruned its ill parts, promising renewal. The tree initially felt ugly from the cuts. By spring, it was covered in healthy new leaves, feeling rich and beautiful again. The gardener noted its great age. Similarly, some feel sad when people leave a gathering. These departures are like ill leaves falling in their right time. What remains, you must sometimes cut out yourself. Be thyself. Then others will notice the change and wonder at its cause. "My life is hopeless. There is only disappointment. Everything has separated from me." "I thank you. I am so blessed.

Ten Indrias - ten petals of Manipur Chakra

The ten jewels of the Maṇipūra chakra represent the mastery of the ten senses. The mantra "Maṇi Padme Hum" honors the jewel-like qualities of the Buddha's lotus feet. These ten jewels correspond to the ten petals of the Maṇipūra chakra, which governs the ten indriyas, or senses. The five senses of perception and the five senses of action are like ten horses pulling the coach of the body. If uncontrolled, they destroy it; if mastered, they preserve it. The senses of perception gather information and can succumb to temptation. The senses of action are our capacities for speech, movement, and reproduction. Their control is essential. Their root is in the Maṇipūra, visualized with ten golden-yellow petals. This color, Pitāmbara, represents the purifying fire element and is associated with Viṣṇu. "If these ten horses are under control, the coach remains in good condition. If these ten horses run wild, the coach will very soon be destroyed." "This is the color of the fire element; this is the color of purification." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Love, contentment and happiness are Universal principles within you

Human consciousness is a divine garden. You are the bee gathering nectar from its blossoms, which bloom through devotion. Without this inner love, life withers into loneliness and despair. Seeking happiness from others' love is futile, as it inevitably turns to pain. Causing another's tears incurs a severe karmic debt: one tear repaid with a thousand. Therefore, cultivate your inner garden. Abiding there brings eternal happiness and divine intoxication. This state is bhakti: devotion, friendliness, freedom, and forgiveness. To forgive another is to first forgive yourself. To show mercy is to first be merciful to yourself. "If you think the love of others will make you happy, forget it." "If you forgive someone, first you have forgiven yourself." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Practise makes one perfect

The grammar of practice is harder than the theory. There are two kinds. The first is physical and meditative practice, which is easy. The second is working with your own mind and desires, which is very hard. The hardest thing is to say no to yourself. To control the senses is the first control. Without controlling anger, jealousy, and greed, your practice has no effect. If you do not control thoughts and senses, you have not progressed spiritually from birth. Yoga is mastering yourself. Do not look for mistakes in others; look for them in yourself. Remember many are better than you, and many are less happy. All true masters expect from you this same inner work, which is the real practice. "God finds the mistakes in others; you find the mistakes in yourself." "The hardest thing is to say no to oneself. And that is yoga. Master yourself." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Introduction to Manipur Chakra

The journey into the Maṇipūra chakra marks a significant spiritual crossing. The individual consciousness, distinct from the Ātmā within, is composed of karmic layers. Through practice and grace, consciousness rises to enter this center, whose name means "city of jewels." Our physical manifestation began here, at the navel connecting to the mother. The conditions of conception—the parents' state and the celestial constellation—imprint upon the psyche and this chakra. All life experiences are felt here, generating heat, cold, or fear that reflects to the heart. Every being is special, carried on the waves of its unique destiny. Attaining a human body is a precious opportunity for divine transformation. "Maṇi is the jewel, padam is the lotus feet of the master, and hūṃ means 'bow down.'" "The first day when we entered into the mother's body, that was our real birthday." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Can someone practicing yoga become ill?

Illness arises from both modern systemic causes and karmic destiny, requiring acceptance and a dual approach to healing. Modern diseases like cancer are increasingly common, affecting even those with healthy habits. This is due to the entire modern system, including pollution, pesticides, and stress, which diminish our immunity. It is also the karma of being born in this age. Therefore, one must accept illness and seek treatment. Do not deny modern medical science, such as chemotherapy or operations, which can save lives. Simultaneously, turn to nature for prevention and healing. Seek healthy food, water, and air. Incorporate specific natural remedies and consider dietary shifts. Ultimately, you must become your own doctor through conscious living. "Your healthy way of life has protected you and given you a long life." "Prevention is better than treatment."

Do everything with the consciousness of "Naham Karata" -- when God is residing in your consciousness

When God resides in your consciousness, your speech and writing are kind. Those with God within never speak harshly, while those with the devil express jealousy and anger. A moody person is poor; do not shift your mood. Be kind, humble, and a good helper. Giving love is yoga in daily life. Teachers who show individual care, like asking "How are you?", attract many. A young waiter hated a certain president at a gathering. Before taking a drink, the president smiled, touched his shoulder, and asked kindly if he was tired, calling him a good, strong man. For months, the waiter spoke only of this president's kindness, contrasting it with his own president's arrogance, who ignored him holding a heavy tray. This shows you can change anyone for the better through kindness. Everyone needs love, for life is love. Maintain the world with love and attention. Success lies in discipline and kindness. When you are kind, God speaks through you, and you are happy. Open a small window of your heart to others, and you will receive a millionfold in return. "Life is love. Where there is no love, there is no life." "Open a little window of your heart toward others, and you will receive a millionfold in return." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Give freedom to everyone

Support one another in cooperation, not competition. In small towns, maintain one center to prevent jealousy. In large cities, centers may exist in different districts. If a student's schedule does not align with your class, refer them to another center offering the same instruction. Commercial interest is not inherently wrong; money is a tool for establishing more ashrams. The essential practice is for teachers to freely refer students to one another. Do not try to keep people only for yourself; give them freedom. This approach serves the interest of yoga and the deathless life. Maintain the quality, philosophy, and spirituality. Uphold your own condition to be worthy of giving the light. Do not count people, but count the quality. "Money itself is not wrong. What is wrong is how we utilize it." "Do not count the people, but count the quality." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Visitors from the Washingon Ashram

With this diploma, the light and yoga life are transmitted to you. You now carry the responsibility of an instructor. People will place their trust in you; do not disappoint that confidence. Be helpful, kind, and good, staying within your capacity. Work under that spiritual shelter for success. You have the freedom to teach globally within this fellowship while maintaining quality. Your practice now truly begins. Those who come to you do so with confidence, like passengers trusting a pilot. It is our duty to care for all who come to us, for every practitioner and aspirant.

In an emergeny you have to turn to a doctor and follow her/his advice

Illness is a signal that your way of life must change. Your willpower is essential. In an emergency, follow a doctor's prescribed treatment, such as chemotherapy, to survive. Alcohol is a dangerous drug causing immense outer and inner damage; do not be addicted. Support your body by consuming fresh juices and raw foods. Ultimately, we must all die; the problem is not death but how to die. We pray not to suffer, yet the body will one day become a burden we cannot escape. The solution is to accept it. "It is a signal from the higher planets—a sign from the higher realms—that your way of life must change." "The problem is how to die. We pray that we will not suffer." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Mantra is the spiritual union of the Master and disciple

A mantra is a lifelong spiritual commitment, not a temporary practice. It forges an unbreakable spiritual union between Master and disciple, distinct from any physical bond. This initiation is for your entire future, guiding you on both the physical and astral planes. Adopting a vegetarian life is suggested to support this path. The Master is strict after giving the mantra, emphasizing the seriousness of this permanent bond. "Physically, you can get divorced. But how are you going to get divorced on the astral plane?" "I am strict not before giving a mantra, but after giving it." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

If you are God, you know what I ask

A story illustrates the destructive nature of jealousy. I was instructed to recount a story from 1966. It concerns a jealous man fixated on his neighbor. He performed intense prayer for wealth. God granted him a magical coin that would fulfill any wish, but with a condition: his neighbor would always receive double. Enraged by this, the man abandoned the coin and left to earn money through hard labor. His desperate family later used the coin, receiving abundant food and goods, with the neighbor receiving double. Upon learning of this, the jealous man returned home furious. He then used the coin to wish himself harm—losing a limb, an eye—so his neighbor would suffer doubly. He ultimately destroyed everything, becoming a beggar. This shows how jealousy ruins oneself and others. True spirituality is simply to be good, merciful, and kind. "if you ask this coin for one million dollars, it will give you immediately. But at the same time, your neighbor will get two million." "He threw these funds into the water well and went for begging. He became a beggar." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Self discipline of the yoga teacher

Yoga is a scientific system with one aim: union with the Universal Self. This union is obstructed by internal foes like ego and doubt. We struggle to accept others, so accepting God is a greater challenge. Meeting God is not an easy task, and we lack a clear picture of the divine. True happiness is found in the guru's shelter, as the sought-after Brahman is realized through him. The aim is to become one with the cosmic Self, which is unbounded and omnipresent. Yoga in daily life provides this path; it is a gentle, divine practice, not a physical competition. It is the essence of teachings from masters worldwide, sustained by universal principles, not by any single person. "Milta hai sacca sukha keval gurudev tumāre śaraṇome." "I am the way to God."

There is no challenge and competition in yoga

True Yoga transcends commercialized physical performance for a scientific system of holistic being. Our gathering itself is success, not the transient commercial bubbles promoted elsewhere. In science and quality, there are no compromises; this is true for yoga and spirituality. Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. We are not truly searching for mere physical exercise. The prevalent global message operates on a lower level, fixated on demonstrating postures others cannot do—this is greediness. In yoga, there are no challenges and no competition. The spiritual path requires discipline, yet its essence is beyond contest. The practice is an inward journey, not an external display. Our system's quality and scientific nature define its authenticity, separate from worldly comparisons. "In yoga, there are no challenges and no competition." "Yoga is the science of the body, mind, consciousness, and soul." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The key to success is the self discipline

A teacher must arrive ten minutes early and personally verify the room's condition. Do not delegate this essential duty to an assistant. Chronic lateness and lack of personal responsibility undermine discipline. An example from governance shows that enforcing punctuality transforms work and order. Discipline is the universal foundation for success, in yoga, national affairs, and all endeavors. It is the non-negotiable principle for effective action. "Discipline makes the country great." "Yoga can be successful only if you have discipline." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

It is the yogateacher's duty to treat everyone equally

The teacher's path requires equal vision and surrender. A teacher must see all students equally, without personal preference. Spiritual development occurs through the act of teaching itself. The protective mantra is "I am not the doer," signifying the Guru speaks through the teacher. Students are not drawn to superficial qualities like appearance or cleverness, which are common. They value the teacher's clear consciousness, honesty, devotion, and knowledge. This is the foundation of their confidence. "Remember the golden preaching: Samdṛṣṭi—equal vision." "People appreciate your clear consciousness. People appreciate your honesty." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Limitations of the yogateacher's knowledge

The key problem in teaching lies with the teachers, not the students. The difficulties are within ourselves. When a teacher realizes they are not teaching others but teaching themselves, things improve. Teaching is most joyful and beautiful because it reveals the capacity and the limits of one's own knowledge. It is a process of self-discovery. The act of teaching exposes what you truly understand. It clarifies your own thoughts. It shows where your knowledge ends. This self-awareness is the foundation of true teaching. The joy comes from this honest self-assessment. The beauty is in the growth it prompts. The teacher's primary student is always themselves. "To teach is something most joyful and beautiful." "because then you know the capacity of your knowledge; because then you will know the limits of your knowledge." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

What changes us money into?

The primary human occupation is collecting money, which is not inherently bad if used for universal welfare. Greed destroys the divine disposition, Śiva Bhāva. Its loss removes renunciation, then detachment, then wisdom. The life force of all this is devotion. Without it, the heart's ground dries completely, becoming a parched, rotten tree. This barren state is merely a perch for a bird that signifies negative blackmail—implanting negative thoughts, words, and sounds. We must instead plant positive words and sounds in others' minds. "Then the ground is dried out; there is no more water. The ground becomes completely parched; there is no more water—a rotten tree, a tree dried out."

Is the yogateacher a Guru?

A true teacher is recognized, not declared. A yoga teacher and a Guru are the same in essence, but the title of Guru is conferred by others, not claimed by the self. One who is truly great does not announce their own greatness, just as a diamond does not proclaim its own value. Others see its brilliance and affirm it. To declare oneself a Guru invites only hollow congratulations, not genuine respect. The role is defined by the acknowledgment of students, not by self-appointment. The distinction lies not in function but in the source of the title. A teacher may state their profession, but the honorific Guru is earned through perception. The sarcasm directed at a self-proclaimed Guru reveals this unspoken truth: the title signifies a depth of mastery and reverence that must be witnessed. "Teacher and Gurū are the same, but you cannot say, 'Now I am a Gurū.'" "The great one never says that he is great. It is like a diamond; a diamond does not say, 'I am a diamond, and my value is so much.'" Filming location: Vép, Hungary

If you throw dust towards the Sun, the dust will fall on you

The sun teaches through its nature. If you throw dust at it, the dust falls back on you; negative thoughts return as karma. The sun asks for nothing and gives endlessly; all creatures wait for its light and take as much as they can. It is described as a dark, solid form like coal, yet it constantly burns and gives light through fire. The sun is personified, feeling sadness and concern for a successor, stating one must burn in disciplined tapas to take its place. The lesson is to give, for the day you think to have, you lose everything. "Nothing is darker than the sun. But this gas which comes out of it... is constantly burning, giving us light." "I have to give. On the day when you think to have, then you will lose everything." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Opening of the Yogateacher Seminar

Yoga is the complete source of life's meaning, happiness, health, and wisdom, found only through its divine science.

The shared knowledge and love must be applied diligently in daily life for the benefit of oneself and all beings. The ultimate aim is for this meeting to serve the Divine and all living creation. May the master be pleased with this sincere effort. "Yoga is much greater than we can imagine.

"May this meeting be in the glory of the Divine, for the benefit of all living beings." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

You Are Not Lost

Disappointment arises from weak thoughts like "no one loves me," which further weaken you. Why should anyone love you? What is so special about you? Instead, ask if you love others. Do you even understand love? Cultivate motivation and independence. Do not compare yourself or think you have lost everything. If you did lose something, it was merely given and then taken back. The modern world is full of temptations and disappointments. If you are disappointed, do not suffer, for this is not the last disappointment. We will celebrate the last one. Therefore, take things as they are. Meditate, pray, do good, and do Śiva—do not depend on anyone. It comes and goes. "You often say, 'No one loves me,' but have you considered why they should?" "We will celebrate the last one. That is it." Filming location: Croatia

Our Eyes Are Given to See the Beauty of God

The aim is to see God's beauty and divinity, which is self-realization. We possess eyes to behold this divine beauty. A teacher, when offered a sightseeing tour, declined, stating he had seen many sights but now sought to see directly that which is within: self-knowledge. Therefore, your interest should be this inner vision. See the beauty of God in every person and every place you look. This consciousness of perceiving God everywhere is the first realization. Following this, you will attain self-realization. "Eyes are given for looking at the beauty of God." "I have seen so many things, but I want to see that which I have not seen, and that I see is within me: ātmā jñāna, self-realization." Filming location: Croatia

For Awakening of the Kundalini

Kuṇḍalinī awakening requires correct technique, not the psychological programs of self-made "half-gurus" which cause complications and nerve imbalance instead. True awakening is the arising of cosmic love, bringing initial clarity, calm energy, and relaxation. You cease feeling anger or nervousness. With eyes closed, you perceive inner light and reality, understanding your body as an instrument to care for. This divine Śakti within, when merged with consciousness, liberates you from karma. It is a spiritual science that sequentially opens inner doors to wisdom, knowledge, and love. "Therefore, the awakening of Kuṇḍalinī is the awakening of cosmic love." "Kuṇḍalinī is a spiritual science; it will open the inner treasures." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Yoga is for All

Yoga is for all humanity, transcending man-made divisions. We are not born with a religious identity; these are constructs we created, and our suffering stems from these separations. The essential need is for universal love, respect, and tolerance. Yoga itself recognizes no such duality. It is a practice for every person regardless of background. Its purpose is to unify. Therefore, engaging sincerely with yoga leads one toward happiness and wellness. It is a path of integration, not exclusion. The practice serves our common human condition. It aims to heal the fractures we have imposed upon ourselves. "No one is born stamped with such an identity, destined to be born as a Christian or anything else." "Therefore, the practice of yoga will bring you only happiness and good health." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Subconsciousness and Inner Functions

The subconscious is the storeroom for all life's sensory impressions, beginning in the womb where the mother's condition affects the child. A woman deserves lifelong respect and protection, not only during pregnancy. The mind functions between the conscious and subconscious, recording perceptions into the subconscious where they become desires. The intellect judges these desires; if unfulfilled, the mind returns them to the subconscious, potentially emerging as dreams or psychic issues. True resolution comes through purifying practices like meditation. "Everything that has happened till today is transferred to the subconsciousness." "The mind is that principle which functions between the conscious and subconscious to take information from the consciousness." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Story of a prince and Swami

A saint's true power is revealed not through miracles, but through his unbroken equanimity when tested. A prince sought a great saint known for his presence alone being a blessing. Riding through the forest, the prince encountered a man laboring on the road under the hot sun. The prince repeatedly asked the silent laborer for directions to the saint's hut, receiving no reply. In frustration, the prince struck the man with his horsewhip before riding on. Upon reaching the hut, the disciple revealed the saint was out cleaning the very path the prince had traveled. The saint then returned and, before the prince could apologize, thanked him. The saint explained the prince's act was a test of his character, like tapping a clay pot to hear if it was sound or broken. The prince, now knowing the saint was complete, paid his respects. "You tested me. Now you know if I am broken or I am complete." "When we buy a cooking pot made of clay, we test it to see if it is complete or broken." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The Key to Succes Is Self Discipline

The path of realization requires two essentials: a firm decision and love for the practice. A practitioner's resolve must be unwavering, like an immovable mountain. The second necessity is love; without devotion to your practice, the goal is unreachable. Your practice is your God until realization is attained. Neglecting practice—mantra, meditation, prayer—is to lose the way. Success depends on self-discipline. Where discipline is absent, everything is lost. Discipline is the royal path; without it, there is no success. "The Moon and Sun may change their course, but my direction I will not alter."
