We must create a sacred, physical reminder for the global opening of the Oṁ Ashram, a symbol of peace for all beings. This idea came from contemplating purity, like the snow. Our work in Yoga in Daily Life brings power and peace to everyone, everywhere. I traveled with my Guru and received this universal practice's name long ago. Now, we must decide on an object, like a mālā, to mark this holy occasion so all disciples, even those not in India, can forever remember this divine moment. It will be a light for peace and harmony for families, humans, animals, and the entire world. This is for our global community. Think carefully and suggest what this item should be. "Let's do Yoga in Daily Life." "We will bring peace, peace, and peace for all of us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.

The essence of satsaṅg and the Guru's grace is the truth of oneness. Disciples from all backgrounds practice sincerely over many years. The Guru works constantly for everyone, holding the weight of all disciples. The Guru is not an individual but the truth itself, represented by the lineage. A physical temple may be rebuilt, but the sacred truth within remains untouched regardless of form. Satsaṅg is the gathering in truth, where all are one. This unity is permanent, like a needle that once placed never leaves. One should practice this truth daily, cultivating purity in thought and action, recognizing the divine in all. "Sat is the truth, truth is Sat." "Once you have got the Sat, then you become the truth." Filming locations: Badīk Khaṭṭū, Rajasthan, India.

The human being is a morning realization. Everyone is a gift from God, seeking something through practice. All religions have prayers and mantras for cleansing; Muslims are very dedicated. In the morning, upon waking, open your eyes inside. The first realization is "I am human." What does that mean? We were sleeping, unaware, and now we are. Animals exist, like birds that mourn, but they do not understand as we do. Women are very spiritual in their daily practices. Among creatures, it is said the horse is uniquely "the man." Do not kill hope. Our practice is to open our eyes, say "I am human," and place hands on the earth, our mother. We must not harm the earth with chemicals. We have many problems and doctors now because of our actions. We must return to being human. Think: if I am human, will I kill or eat meat? That is not human. Practice this each morning. "Early in the morning, they also give mantra. Among them, there are those who can do it and those who should not." "In the morning, when we first get up, you open the eyes inside... I am human. Yes, I'm human." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Life is a universal essence present in all beings and elements, sustained by divine grace. God provides this body and the life within it. Life exists everywhere—in air, water, earth, and all creatures. They live according to their nature. A personal story illustrates spiritual perception: while meditating at night, a presence akin to a Guru appeared, prompting a profound experience. Another account involves a mother figure who spoke of life within the earth itself, revealing countless beings. The body is temporary. Some advocate cremation to fully release the spirit, preventing it from lingering as a confused presence. The goal is liberation, like a drop merging into the ocean, becoming one with the whole. True yogis seek this inward unity, not external validation or money. Modern yoga often misunderstands this, focusing on commerce rather than genuine practice. We must look within to realize our true nature. "Life exists mostly everywhere, as we have on earth." "The goal is like a drop merging into the ocean, becoming one with the whole."

The eternal Self is the foundation beyond material science. I demonstrate an object that does not get wet or burn, symbolizing the immutable ātmā, the true Self. This wisdom of the Self, taught through Sanātana Dharma, Āyurveda, and Yoga, is not a discovered science but a revealed wisdom from ancient sages. Calling it 'science' creates difficulty, as Western authorities demand evidence they can recognize. Historical invasions led to the burning of repositories like Takṣaśilā, and colonial powers altered texts, disrupting the traditional evidence base. We are a community of compassion and ahiṃsā. Consider organ transplants: recipients sometimes adopt new habits from the donor. Research investigates this change. The explanation lies in prāṇa. Secondary prāṇas, like one retained after death, carry impressions. The final prāṇa holds the body together until released by cremation's agni. "Science is something that you discover. Science is where you discover wisdom; you don't discover this." "We cannot give them evidence because the evidence was burnt when Islam came into India." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Health is founded on traditional principles of diet and daily living. Doctors are vital for acute issues, but lasting health requires personal discipline. We must eat seasonal, local produce as provided by nature, not rely on imported or processed foods. Home cooking is essential for knowing what we consume. Design your diet around alkaline foods and understand that health is about what you digest, not merely what you eat. Establish a daily regimen including yoga and prāṇāyāma. Incorporate a weekly detox, perhaps using foods like kicharī with alternative grains. All traditions recognize cleansing periods, like 40-day fasts. The universe and our bodies are composed of five elements—earth, space, air, fire, water—unified in consciousness. Being in wise company supports our spiritual and physical journey. "Please design your diet around the seasons. So what Mother Nature is giving you, design your body around that first." "In yoga, we say you are what you digest, yeah. So your digestive system is going to be so strong that it has the ability to digest the food that you want to put in this." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

A cold night in a forest reveals our fundamental unity and compassion. I recall a family sheltering animals from the cold, embodying selfless care. This contrasts with a world pursuing material gain and harming life, as in hospitals. True yoga is not mere exercise but daily kindness to all beings, aligning with our inner goodness. We are interconnected; anger and negativity harm this unity. By returning to thoughts of the divine guide within, we cultivate inner beauty and purity. In this challenging age, we must remain strong, help others, and recognize we are all one essence. "Try to thank you, to thank you all the times." "This is what we call yoga in daily life."

The mother is primary, her connection to the child is fundamental and sacrificial. A mother carries the child and will protect it above all else, even at her own physical peril. The father provides and is good, but the mother's bond is immediate and profound. One must have good children and be good parents. Current difficulties arise when parents did not act properly. The spiritual practice involves the navel center, which originates from the father's seed but is received and known by the mother's body. From a single seed comes great growth. "A mother is a mother. For the child, she is very humble and very good." "The nābhi is which came from the father... but the mother, she was feeling that my child is in something, in my body, yes. Father doesn't know, he cannot understand, but she knows." Filming location: Austria

True space is measured by generosity and persistent inner practice. Physical space expands through a generous heart, as shown when a family in a cold forest continually makes room for strangers and an animal, culminating in a miraculous expansion. Personal spiritual space is earned through unwavering effort, illustrated by an ant tirelessly carrying a seed up a tree until it succeeds, inspiring a meditator. Conversely, suffering arises from envy and inaction, like a monkey who, instead of building its own shelter, destroys a bird's nest. The path requires consistent personal practice, self-reliance, and sharing the resulting goodness, avoiding negativity that leads to conflict. "We have a space, and we should know that for everyone, like it is." "The ant has done like this. She did not give up." Filming location: Villach, Austria

We are all one people on a shared spiritual journey. We learn through experience, ashrams, and community. Our path involves understanding God, our connection to nature, and cultivating trust. We welcome all people, respecting them whether they seek deep practice or just yoga exercises. We offer teachings and simple hospitality like water or fruit. Our centers, like Mahimā Jyoti, serve this purpose. Spiritual practice requires discipline, like avoiding meat, but real peace is the essential question. My travels, like to Czechoslovakia, taught about cultural exchange and maintaining principles without imposing them. I was told not to take things, not to speak of God in a certain way, and not to carry stories between lands. I explained I am a yogi without religion or need for money. In our ashrams, we treat everyone equally, offering basic care. The core is that all beings—humans, animals—are equal. Our duty, our dharma, is to create a holy space where all can come to meditate, learn, and find peace, maintaining reverence in that environment. "All are equal—Christian, all Hindus—and they like it very much." "If you cannot sit on the floor, you can have it like this, but then learn, learn anything, or concentrate, meditate. This is open for you, all for us." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The text is a devotional chant invoking a divine lineage. It consists of a series of repetitive salutations and praises. The structure is liturgical, not narrative. The variations in spelling reflect common transliteration differences. The core purpose is veneration through repetition. The chant honors a succession of spiritual figures. It serves as an invocation and blessing. The focus is on devotion, not logical exposition. "Viśvagurujī Paramahaṁsa Gurudevam, Kī Jai." "Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Kī Jai."

Life emerges, consumes, and returns in a continuous cycle. All beings are composed of the same five elements. Observing nature reveals that one living being consumes another. This dynamic perpetuates existence. Our actions within this cycle carry consequences. Choosing non-violence and compassion aligns one with a higher path. Harming other creatures, such as for meat, creates negative karma. All life, from an ant to a human, seeks sustenance and experiences suffering. To progress spiritually, one must refrain from causing harm. This practice benefits all families and all creatures. Through conscious living without violence, one moves toward divine union. "Jīva, jīva, bhakṣate refers to all kinds of beings." "We do not kill any humans, no animals... Then I’m sure that we go in that way to God."

A guided sequence for physical relaxation and awareness through movement and breath. Begin by lying down, consciously relaxing the entire body from toes to head. Focus on the breath. Perform gentle spinal twists while lying down, moving the head and legs to opposite sides. Follow with rolling side to side while holding the knees. Stretch the body side to side and then fully. Move to a kneeling position for cat-cow stretches, coordinating movement with breath. Practice standing movements involving arm raises and knee bends to shift weight. Conclude by lying down again for deep relaxation, focusing on the natural breath. The session integrates mindful movement with sustained awareness of bodily sensations and breathing patterns. "Feel and relax the whole body, from your toes to the top of your head." "Be aware of your breathing, normal breathing."

Yoga is the practice of yoga in daily life. Many have taken the teachings and given them other names, but what they offer for practice is often incomplete. True yoga requires full discipline, not merely physical exercises. A core principle is non-harming; one must not eat meat or consume alcohol. Many modern adaptations accommodate rather than uphold these standards. Our comprehensive books provide the correct path. The practice is for everyone, regardless of background, but it demands daily commitment to the entire teaching, not just discussion. We must return to the authentic beginning and proceed step by step. "It says meat can be eaten and so on? No." "Yoga is the yoga. It is the yoga, and that is all." Filming location: Villach, Austria

This bhajan is a meditation on the holy feet of Alak Purījī. Singing it places one in that divine presence, bathing in the Caraṇāmṛta that flows eternally. This sacred river, Alak Purījī, is the Divine Mother, Nanda Devī, whose radiance sustains the universe. It represents the primordial source from the Satyuga, a lineage from Brahmaloka. The path of devotion is as narrow as walking on a knife's sharp edge, requiring total concentration amidst worldly distractions. One must walk this path with unwavering focus on the Guru, not divided like cheese. The present age demands this focus to awaken and save souls through this grace. The word "Alak" signifies that which is beyond writing or full description. "Feel yourself in meditation at the holy feet and the holy dust of Alak Purījī." "The path is called Khaṇḍa Kī Dhār. The sharp part of the knife, and over on that you have to walk."

The spiritual pilgrimage is a rare achievement of the soul, likened to a fruit surviving from blossom to harvest. Ancient pilgrims endured immense hardship with singular focus on the divine. Modern ease can invite disrespect, as seen when indulgence at a holy site provoked a destructive natural response. This place demands purity; most who come are purifying their karma. India is a unique spiritual source, like a diamond mine, where all gods are worshipped as one without conflict. Divine incarnations themselves endured great troubles. Human life is for dispassion, not attachment. When divine light awakens, consciousness expands to perceive the unity in all. "Of course, the whole earth is a Bhārat Mātā, and all countries have their Mātā, mother. But only India can be called Bhārat Mātā." "Without vairāgya, you cannot renounce. And without renouncing, you are in attachment." Filming location: India

The destiny of the jīva cycles through realms from Brahmaloka to the human form. Brahmaloka is a unified state beyond the duality of heaven and hell. From this state, divine forces manifested the earth and the 8.4 million life forms. These creatures, though mute, possess awareness and remember God in their own way. Humans alone are endowed with discriminative intellect, yet often act with greater cruelty than animals. All existence operates on the principle that life consumes life. One's actions, especially harming other creatures, generate karma that must be experienced. This human birth is a rare opportunity; one must not squander it by living solely for sensory pleasure like an animal. Govern your body as a king governs a kingdom, abandoning harmful habits that destroy it. "Eating, drinking, and enjoying, animals can also do. Oh, man, men, humans. If you are doing only this, then what is the difference between you and animals?" "How many animals have you eaten? How many goats have you eaten? The many goats you have eaten in your life—first, you have to come into life as a goat and let your throat be given." Filming location: Badrinath, Hiamalaya, India

Practice yoga daily to realize you are the king of a universe within. The body is not inhabited by a single soul. It contains countless souls, like the millions of beings in a drop of blood. You are the ruler of this vast inner country. The true self, the king, must care for all these subjects. This understanding brings great happiness. Yoga is the simple, joyful path to this awareness and to controlling the five sheaths of the body. It is not complex exercise but daily practice leading to bliss. Through consistent yoga, one unites with the supreme reality. "Your body is like a vast, vast city—consider it your very own large country." "Through yoga alone, a human truly becomes Paramātmā."

A rare spiritual lineage is sustained through devotion and protection of its teachings. The system created is a complete compendium, yet its name must be upheld to prevent imitation. Personal miracles are found in perseverance and the opportunity for profound pilgrimage, not in dramatic divine appearances. The journey to sacred sites requires guidance and protection, revealing small, continuous blessings. Discovering ancient caves is guided by intuition and a feeling of spiritual homecoming. True harmony in practice and community is essential. Destiny is powerful, yet a genuine Guru possesses the grace to influence its course within a living tradition. "If we don't use the name, then somebody else will. They just put a different name, a different poster, change everything." "The real miracle for us is actually that all of you are here."

The highest world is described in this bhajan, into which the divine one enters. The bhajan must be sung with profound peace, without rhythm, like an angel’s voice. Much is spoken of God, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, and Kṛṣṇa. Yet true knowing remains absent. Kṛṣṇa is immensely great. Rukmiṇī is the consort of Kṛṣṇa. Some have introduced Rādhā. Rādhā has no name in the scriptures. This fabrication occurred only fifty or sixty years ago. A certain Bābāsādhu started this and gave her a name. Many now accept this false understanding. Rukmiṇī alone should remain at Kṛṣṇa’s holy feet. All figures from the past have died. Anyone can now create new ones. The teaching holds to Rukmiṇī with Kṛṣṇa. This is the received thinking for the families. A photo of Viṣṇu and Kṛṣṇa killed exists. "Rādhā originally has no name at all in the scriptures. But they have portrayed her in this way, and now everyone believes it." "Therefore, we should take Bhagavān Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śaṅkara, and then Kṛṣṇa, and Kṛṣṇa with Rukmiṇī—Rukmiṇī, yes."

The early spread of yoga in Central Europe began through sincere invitations. People from Czechoslovakia requested teachings despite political warnings. A core group of devotees, including a professor and a young woman named Lalitā, facilitated the first programs. These gatherings attracted diverse individuals from various faiths. The practice grew steadily from these humble beginnings. The foundational yoga system was later developed and compiled into a book. This work established a lasting community of dedicated practitioners. The journey was marked by personal devotion and collective effort. "They said, 'Please, we would like to bring you to Croatia.' I said, 'Okay, I’m okay.'" "From there it began, very much Indian, my Indian yoga for me, the whole world." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Today's practice is Vajrāsana, Bhāvan Muktā Āsana, and Marjari with breathwork. We follow the sequence from the book, omitting the lying-down part due to space. Begin with hands crossed above the head, lower slowly. Place straight hands in front, palms facing up. Inhale, bring fingers to the shoulders, elbows forward. Exhale, extend the arms to the front. Repeat this breath-linked movement multiple times. Sit in Vajrāsana, then straighten the legs. For Bhāvan Muktā Āsana, sit with straight back and relaxed shoulders. Inhale, bring the right knee to the chest. Exhale, forehead toward the knee, hold above the knee. Remain for four breaths, then release. Repeat with the left leg. Bring the tailbone toward the heels, hold the knee, straighten the leg. Place the foot on the thigh, hold the toes. Perform Marjari with breath, moving up and down. Then practice bārikhāṭu with mantra: count one, two, three, then four, five, seven through nineteen, twenty-four to twenty-seven. Those in poor health sit aside. "We will follow the sequence from the book, but we cannot do the part that requires lying down because there is not enough space for everyone." "Stay in this position for only four breaths, then inhale and slowly relax your body." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The divine lineage is invoked to connect with the supreme spiritual power. This lineage represents an unbroken chain of grace and wisdom, a living current of consciousness from the Absolute. By chanting these sacred names, one aligns with this transcendental energy. The invocation is not mere recitation but a devotional act of remembrance. It opens the heart to receive blessings and dissolves the illusion of separation. Each name signifies a perfected being who embodies the ultimate truth. This practice establishes a direct link to the source of all enlightenment. "Om bole Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavāna, Kī Jaya." "Viśvagurujī Paramahaṁsa Maheśvarānanda Gurudevam, Kī Jai."

A temple is a place to receive spiritual energy and charge one's inner battery. Coming to this gathering felt like entering such a temple. This connection between lands is historical. Over a century ago, Czech scholars established Indology, discovering linguistic ties to Sanskrit. The poet Rabindranath Tagore visited here, bringing his vision for education in nature at Shantiniketan, which Czechs supported. Now, a century later, that same supportive spirit continues for this new project and university. The work done in a challenging region shows great passion. This university will become a magnet for global students, just as the temple project will succeed through collective love and affection. "Swāmījī is our permanent ambassador of India, spreading the message of love and humanity." "Just as India has become a magnet, I am sure this university will also become a magnet to attract many students." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The grace of the Satguru is the sole means to the supreme state, dissolving all conflict and revealing the indestructible self. Through the Guru's grace, one is immersed in bliss, and all faults are washed away. The Guru's lineage carries this divine authority. The Guru transmits the essential teaching, sometimes through a single word that blossoms into full understanding. A true disciple embodies the Guru's presence, becoming a conduit for that grace. The relationship is demonstrated through obedience, as in the disciple who faithfully goes for alms as instructed. The bond between Guru and disciple is eternal, transcending material offerings and physical presence. The Guru's work is like a seed that bears fruit across generations, propagating the truth. "Through the Satguru's grace, my great conflict is dissolved." "The one who has a Guru, that Guru is the one who is one." Filming locations: Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India

The three states of consciousness and the serpent power are examined. When tired, one goes inside and loses awareness of the world. A technique is to be completely relaxed, going deep within to a place of pure being. The cobra symbolizes divine power. Śiva, Viṣṇu, and Śakti are present within. The single eye of Śiva represents inner sight. Practice involves yoga, prāṇāyāma, and kriyā. The Kuṇḍalinī power must rise. This awakening is not for casual discussion. All aspects of mind and time reside within. The divine union of Śiva and Śakti represents inseparable power. Ultimately, all is one. "This snake is God." "All in one. One in all."

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. Bhajan singing. Translation of the bhajan "Itna to karana Guruji"

The Guru is the singular source of all spiritual attainment. The Guru's form is the foundation of meditation, the Guru's feet are the object of worship, the Guru's speech is the essence of mantra, and the Guru's grace is the root of liberation. This principle is absolute and transcends all other comparisons. The devotional praise of specific divine names and forms serves to illustrate this supreme truth, not to establish a hierarchy among them. The Guru's role is that of the ultimate remover of obstacles and bestower of grace, making all spiritual practice possible. Therefore, the devotee's sole focus must be on the Guru's grace as the direct means to realization. "The root of meditation is the form of the Guru; the root of worship is the feet of the Guru; the root of mantra is the speech of the Guru; the root of mokṣa is the grace of the Guru." "Hail to the truthful, compassionate Guru, victory to the eternal, true Dharma!"

The Satguru alone grants liberation from birth and death. Only the Guru's grace and the medicine of the divine word can cure the soul's ailments and transcend the cycle. The Guru dispels doubt and imparts true knowledge to all who seek, guiding them in right action for purification. Yet, the ultimate state is beyond mortal perception; it is found by seeking a true saint in whom the seeker can reach the divine. The Guru is the indispensable giver of intellect and the sole means to the imperceptible truth. "Only through the love of the pure-hearted Gurudev can the cycle of birth and death be transcended; no one else can accomplish this work." "Paramātmā cannot be seen with these eyes because He is beyond perception, unseen."

Devotion is the offering of the mind to the supreme, formless reality. The sacred chants and praises are not mere words but vehicles to transcend thought and desire. This worship is directed toward the all-pervading consciousness that is the root of all existence. Recitation with sincere devotion aligns the individual will with the divine. The ultimate goal is to realize that state beyond attributes, the silent space of nirvana. True prayer dissolves the sense of separation, merging the worshipper into the formless Brahman. It is an invocation for grace to awaken to one's own supreme nature. "Those who recite with devotion to the Lord, may their wishes be fulfilled." "I bow to the Lord of Lords, the form of Nirvāṇa, the omnipresent, all-pervading Brahman."

Yoga progresses from physical practice to the realization of the supreme Self. The foundation is Āsana, the physical posture. Remaining only there is mere exercise. One must proceed to Prāṇāyāma to steady the mind, then Pratyāhāra to withdraw the senses. This leads to Dhāraṇā, concentration, and then unbroken Dhyāna, meditation. Yet meditation retains duality. Samādhi dissolves this, unifying knower, knowing, and known into Turīya, the fourth state. The ultimate goal is beyond even this: Turīyātīta, the transcendent Conscious Principle, the Self of absolute Existence, Consciousness, and Bliss. All practices are a boat to cross the river; upon reaching the far shore, the boat is left behind. "All practices—Āsana, Prāṇāyāma, Dhyāna—are merely the boat to cross the river." "This is not a state to be attained; it is our very essence, the Chetan Puruṣa, the Conscious Principle."

The oneness of service and the soul is our essential truth. Everyone is equal and should be included in practices like pūjā. Give all the opportunity to learn and participate. The altar holds God, so service there is for God. Maintain cleanliness and respect traditional considerations. We are one family, so provide for basic needs like food without emphasis on money. Daily work and satsaṅg are for everyone, like the sun shines for all. God provides for all creatures. At life's end, the soul returns to oneness, beyond religious labels. We originate from and return to the divine ocean like drops of water. Our inner life is God's life. Respect all beings and see the good within. "One in all and all in one." "The ocean is the ocean. We all will come in oneness, and we will come to the ocean again." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The spiritual path integrates worldly duties and inner practice without division. A sacred place amplifies one's inner state, bringing peace or agitation based on inner purity. The system of practice is designed for moment-to-moment connection. Work and devotion purify the mind through selfless action and spiritual study. These are not separate paths; one must balance both practical and spiritual knowledge. Following only worldly knowledge leads to darkness, and following only spiritual knowledge leads to greater darkness. The duty is to perform actions while surrendering the fruits. "Karma Yoga is something you do selflessly from inside; there is no 'I will gain this and that.'" "If you follow only physical knowledge, you will end in darkness. But if you follow only spiritual knowledge, you will end in even worse darkness." Filming locations: Jadan, Rajasthan, India.

A birthday celebration reveals the mysterious spiritual destiny given by God, not determined by birth or education. Children from the same parents receive different divine gifts and follow separate paths. A person from a simple village, a master of goats, can become a great spiritual leader by this divine will. The spiritual journey is not chosen but received, leading each individual to their destined work across the world. This destiny unfolds naturally, like a seed growing into a specific tree. All saints arrive by different roads, yet fulfill their unique purpose from the same source. "In India, in scriptures, they are saying there are 24 Avatāras, so I am thinking that it is the 25th Avatāra." "He is the master of goats. Why? He is also very good. But with that goat, he has become someone else." Filming locations: Jadan, Pali, Rajasthan

Yoga transforms the world into a planet of peace through practice and cultural values. Yoga is a way of living for a healthy mind in a healthy body. Theory alone yields no result; practice is essential. Yoga and Vedanta remove impurity, ignorance, and injustice. Indian culture, rooted in saṃskāras, gives knowledge of harmonious living. Spiritual education complements material education for a balanced life. The lineage of gurus, from Alakhpurījī to present, preserves this knowledge. Gurudev has established over 108 ashrams in 21 countries, teaching yoga and culture. Millions have been made vegetarian through non-violence in thought, word, and deed. The Om Ashram project in Rajasthan, shaped as Om, houses 108 residential units and 1,108 Shiva idols. Humanitarian initiatives include rainwater harvesting, cow shelters, and food distribution during crises. The World Peace Council, recognized by the UN, holds summits for global harmony. Saṃskāras begin at birth, with Om written on the tongue, shaping human values. Bowing to parents and earth cultivates longevity, knowledge, fame, and strength. Europe is materially rich but spiritually arid, while Bharat is a garden of wisdom. Death is not feared but seen as liberation in Indian culture. Meeting a saint brings incomparable happiness.

A call to conscience for Sanātana Dharma, observing spiritual and cultural decline. I lived abroad and saw people pressured to eat meat and drink alcohol. I refused. I returned to India and saw our own people abandoning prayer and adopting harmful diets. Foreign influences and demonic forces are rising. Many no longer know devotion. India is the land of God, with advanced spiritual practice, yet we are losing our way. Eating meat and eggs is against the principle of non-harm to animals. Our government has enforced harmful policies. We must care for our children and teach them true dharma. Start each day by honoring the earth as mother and connecting with sacred water. We must revive our practices and protect our culture from erosion. "Now we don’t know what is happening. We have started eating all kinds of food." "If religion says that no one should kill or harm any animal, then we have a lot of them." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Yoga in daily life is the integration of spiritual discipline into every action. You must know your purpose. I taught yoga abroad and required a commitment to vegetarianism, refusing to teach those who ate meat. In India, some who never ate meat now do. Upon waking, affirm "I am a human being." Water is divine; a few drops remind you it is within all. Apply it like an injection to feel Jagadīś in your body. Do not let animals into sleeping rooms, though a cat or goat is good. Protect animals and India. Sanātana Dharma exists only in India. Many Indians abroad worship and have left meat. Practice yoga daily. Protect animals, protect India. Do not let animals into the house. The alternative to mobile confusion is to say Om when using the telephone. "Water is Jagadīś. Jagadīś, Sarveś, Jagadīś, Bhagavān." "The alternative is to say Oṃ. Say Om whenever you pick up the telephone." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The essence of spiritual practice is following the Guru's word and living in truthful community. Following Guru Vākya without questioning brings grace and progress. Observing the community reveals a lack of unity and disciplined practice; individuals scatter to personal desires instead of walking a straight path together. True yoga in daily life requires this collective discipline, seen in dedicated practitioners worldwide. The Guru's position is paramount, even before divine figures, and one must commit to a single Satguru. A story illustrates the folly of valuing material offerings like gold over the Guru's presence. Husband and wife should work as one unified being, though marriage is a temporary arrangement distinct from spiritual love. Satsaṅg means gathering in truth. The community must now apply this through collective physical work in the garden, performing assigned tasks without question or complaint. "By following his Vakya, we receive Guru Kṛpā." "Satguru. And when you take one Satguru, then you should not take a second Satguru." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The divine names invoke presence and remembrance. Chanting connects the seeker to the sacred essence. These names are not mere words but vessels of consciousness. Repetition purifies the mind and aligns it with truth. The practice is an offering and a call for grace. It awakens the heart from spiritual slumber. Devotion through sound becomes a direct path to realization. "Satguru merā sāyī, majāl ke pāṇḍ se kāryo ham ko pā." "Chūṭ bhajan mein lāg, jāg re jāg." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

A day's extension in Jadan reveals the integrated spiritual life of the ashram. The ashram provides deep peace, making inward focus effortless. Spiritual practice remains the priority here, distinct from the external wedding season. The place is imbued with the presence of the Guru, which can intensify inner reflection. The system of Yoga in Daily Life fosters a constant spiritual connection. Practice here has two pillars: karma yoga and bhajan. Karma yoga is selfless action, work done without desire for gain, leading to surrender. Bhajan encompasses devotional singing, mantra repetition, and scripture study. Together, they purify the mind of passions like desire and anger. Mere physical work without spirituality makes one just a laborer; mere spiritual knowledge without worldly engagement is also insufficient. The path requires balancing physical and spiritual knowledge through selfless work and devotional practice. Satsang, or good company, is essential, as it shapes one's future. This integrated life is possible only through the Guru's grace. "Karma yoga is something which you do selflessly from inside. There is no, 'I will gain this and that.'"

The eternal truth of Sanatana Dharma is universal and transcends all boundaries. This Dharma is the original and complete foundation. It comes through the Guru, who is of many types, including mother and father. All people, regardless of origin or language, inherently live with an understanding of God. When traveling, one sees that this understanding persists everywhere. The land itself holds ancient evidence of this truth, like sacred names found deep within the earth. Geographical formations and human history are part of a vast, interconnected whole. The essence of being, called Hindu or Indian, signifies this deep, ancient connection to the eternal Dharma. All beings are part of this divine order, and one's actions towards them carry profound consequences. "Whatever is there, it is for the Guru." "If you hit this animal... it will go and make it a little better and put it in hell." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The foundation of dharma is the family, beginning with reverence for mother and father. Fulfilling this duty is the path to God. Children must emulate their parents, continuing the lineage through righteous marriage. To abandon this unity, to allow children to fall into vice, is to forsake our humanity. Even animals demonstrate loyalty, perishing when separated from their kin. If humans fail in this basic duty, they fall short of that natural standard. Upholding the family is the essence of being human. "From the first time and at the end, first comes mother and father." "If we humans cannot be there for our children, mothers and fathers, then it is great, very good."

A pilgrimage reveals the divine light within, awakened through sacred places and grace. For ages, the inner power has slumbered. A journey was made to the Himalayas seeking peace. A prohibition against fire was given at a holy site, requiring sustenance from nuts. In that austere place, light was witnessed emanating from the stones and water. The Alaknanda River flows from there, carrying holiness. This experience shows the Śakti, or power, is always present and can be felt. That power enters into anyone who approaches with reverence. "Awake and create Śakti within us. Satguru, Kindle my heart’s flame with Thine." "From there it comes, the river, and this river is what is now... Alaknanda, and this Alaknanda is coming from there."

India is a divine tapestry woven from spiritual essence. A beautiful bhajan celebrates its sacred nature, describing the entire land as blessed and godly. The nation is seen as the source and confluence of great rivers, teachings, and incarnations. Spiritual masters have walked its length, imparting wisdom that resonates through time. Their presence and work are considered impossible yet ever-present. The spiritual current flows from heart to heart, not from books or forced effort. Disciples receive guidance through direct experience and inner calling, often tested by the guru's assignments. The seeker's journey involves surrender and persistent inner work, not mere physical following. The ultimate truth is found within, likened to a precious stone amidst many ordinary ones. "Dhanya means godly, everything with God and everywhere, and especially in India, the whole of India." "He said, 'I know I will not stay anywhere.'" Filming location: Vienna, Austria
