The Essence of Prasād and Spiritual Practice

Prasād and spiritual practice require sincere engagement, not just ritual reception. We receive many offerings but must ask what we truly do with them. Simply placing items down is not enough. Our temples and ashrams are places for genuine practice, like yoga and meditation, where we connect with the divine within. We must look inward, for God is present within each person. Spiritual progress comes from this internal focus and from giving generously to others, not hoarding for ourselves. We should love everyone, seeing God in all, and avoid negative judgments. Our practice must be alive and personal, not merely habitual. If you wish to receive Prasād, you must actively participate and speak your intention. "Look within; you do not realize what your God has bestowed. Your God is present there." "So if you want to eat Prasād, it is for anyone who likes it or not. So next time, please when you come, then you should speak, say some words, okay?" Filming location: Vienna, Austria

We can reach God through Satsang

Prasāda is the sacred gift from God, representing the highest meditation and harmony. It is not about quantity; even a small amount is profound. All water flowing from the Himalayas is this divine offering. In receiving it, one recognizes the fundamental oneness: all beings are interconnected as one in all and all in one. This unity is our true nature, yet the mind creates separation, judging some things as good or not good. The human journey, from birth to death, appears significant, but in the end, everything dissolves. The ocean metaphor reveals the truth: individual drops emerge from and return to the vast ocean, illustrating non-duality. Our essence is that purity. Satsaṅg is the gathering for truth, where one aligns with Sat, the reality beyond all division. "Prasāda is the greatest; it is like God to God." "One in all and all in one, so neither you, neither me, neither others."

The most Important thing being in Unity

The call is to spiritual unity and single-pointed devotion. This tradition originates from a timeless source where meditation and mantra began. That knowledge has now spread everywhere. All traditions speak of the same essential truth. The crucial point is to become one with the One, not to wander aimlessly. Such wandering is negative, meaning a descent of consciousness. In this age, many are falling and going astray, creating problems. Yet, the essence of this holy time is the Divine Mother principle. "Everybody understands everything, but the point is this: you must become one in the One." "The mother is that Mother... But the heart of it is the mother." Filming location: Villach, Austria

Bhajan - Dhyan Karo

The path of devotion and surrender to the divine will. The spiritual journey is one of complete surrender, not of personal effort or intellectual understanding. The mind, with its doubts and questions, is the primary obstacle. It creates a sense of separation and asks for proof where only faith can enter. True devotion means offering everything—mind, intellect, and ego—at the feet of the Guru and the divine. This surrender dissolves the individual self into the universal consciousness. It is not a path of gaining something but of losing the illusion of being a separate doer. Peace and realization come when one stops questioning and simply surrenders. "Surrender your mind. Surrender your intellect. Surrender your ego." "Don't ask for proof. Have faith."

Mantra is with you for your whole life

Two paths define human life: the worldly path of material progress and the spiritual path of conscious living. The worldly path, like that of medicine, is good but ultimately leads to an end without deeper life or meditation. The spiritual path is everything; it is our daily actions, thoughts, and relationships. We must think of our children and family unity, not separation. A story illustrates this: a couple, from their school days through fifty years of marriage, harbored a silent grievance over who received the soft part of the bread, never communicating their true feelings. This shows how small, unspoken things can define a life. The spiritual solution is a personal mantra, given now, which will stay with you forever. This path requires discipline: no meat, essentially no alcohol. Life is a choice. One who lives spiritually ascends; one who lives otherwise, consuming other creatures, goes back. These are the two things. "Spiritual human life is everything." "One will go up, and the other will go again, go back." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

You are free to choose good or bad

The human body is an instrument for divine expression. This instrument is made of material elements, yet something unbelievable resides within it. The source of its sound and action is not the form itself. One must inquire into who made this instrument and what its true purpose is. A story illustrates this: a tiger raised among sheep believes itself to be a sheep until shown its reflection. It must recognize its own nature. Similarly, humans often forget their true essence, acting contrary to it. The words and actions produced by this instrument carry power, creating positive or negative effects in the world. The sound of a holy name emerges from within, yet when the instrument is still, there is nothing. The core task is to look within the mind and heart to understand what we truly are. "Look in the water... Look at your face. You are my tiger, and you are also a tiger." "The instrument is not here, and we are not doing it, so it is nothing."

We should become white

I have returned from a vast and spiritually significant journey. India, a great and unique land, is our origin. Our roots there are strong, across generations. I contemplate the entire world from here. You are all my spiritual family—brothers, sisters, and disciples. Our unity and practice must continue. We received news of a passing here, and we send blessings. Our collective focus must remain on spiritual purity. We must move away from negative influences, symbolized by black, and toward purity, symbolized by white. We must uphold our principles, like vegetarianism, and revive our eternal spiritual path. Our hearts should be beautiful and white. We will continue together, going within. "Let us work, and we will do it. We should not make so much black cloth, no, no, the cloth, black cloth." "The heart should be, and that heart is very beautiful and white. That is like that. So let us continue." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The wisdom of the bhajans

The essence of a bhajan is understood by learning the meaning of each word. Singing is beautiful, but true value comes from comprehension. The bhajan describes the Guru bestowing the herb of immortality, filling the devotee's being. This gift brings supreme happiness and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. It is a great fortune to meet the Guru, for without this grace one is lost. The devotee is freed from attachments and becomes realized. One should always remain at the Satguru's luminous feet. "Gurujī Merā, my Gurū Dev. He gave me the Amara, which means the immortality." "I was delivered from the wheel of birth and death." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Humans are very good and not good at the same time

Satsaṅg is the essence of true connection with the eternal. Sat is the supreme reality, and saṅg is the gathering. This union is profoundly pure. Recognize the self upon awakening: "I am." This is the foundation. All life is one, from humans to the smallest creature. The distinction is illusory. Human life is brief, ending in death for all beings. A story illustrates this: a man denying God clings to a cliff in peril. Only in desperation does he call for divine help, revealing that understanding often comes through direct experience. Human nature contains both good and great violence, which contradicts our spiritual essence. Singing sacred names in bhajan holds great knowledge. The unity of all life should guide action away from harm. "Sat is Paramātmā. Sat-saṅg: we are all together." "Life is one. They don’t understand, but we know, humans, we know." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

We are one in the Satsang

Satsaṅg is the essence of true, continuous connection. It is not a transient encounter but a deep, familial bond. The ideal is a state of oneness, rooted in truth and expressed through selfless care. This unity is found within and among all. Superficial meetings are insufficient; genuine satsaṅg requires a heart free from negativity and judgment. Seeing fault in another signifies one's own loss. The bond is like that of a mother, offering pure, unconditional love. This love reflects the ultimate truth that unites everyone. "Sat means truth. When the truth is there, then you and I and they and all, we are only one." "If you see someone as 'not good,' then you have lost." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The drop returns to the ocean

Brahmari is a profound practice for the soul and the entire brain. Practice it gently without pressure, for just a few minutes, ensuring it goes deep. Doing it for too long, like twenty minutes, is not good. The correct placement is a little up, not on the nest. Consistency is key, as many people start but then stop. Even I have missed practice during travels, but I begin again. This practice is a great gift. Our human life is precious, yet transient like all creatures. At death, everything is released; nothing is for us. Purity ascends, while other qualities descend. Reality is within you. "Never, never pressure. If you have always felt a hurting like this, then it's not good for you." "What is done? Diet means gone. And when gone, quickly, they don't want to be in the body."

Śiva Mahimnaḥ Stotram and Bhajans to Mahādeva

Proper disposal of prasad wrappers is taught. Prasad is given. The plastic wrapper remains. The wrapper must not be thrown aside. Keep the wrapper in the pocket. Discard it later in a trash can. Devotees in Europe know this well. They receive the chocolate and hold the wrapper. Some devotees simply throw it aside. Litter is created. Mindfulness is essential. Do not let the wrapper fall to the ground. Cleanliness must be maintained. The offering is sacred. Respect the surroundings. Discard waste responsibly. This is part of spiritual discipline. "Please keep the remaining prasād’s plastic wrapper in your pocket and put it later into a trash can." "But some of our devotees are simply throwing it aside, so please be mindful."

Satsaṅg on the Occasion of Dādā Gurujī’s Puṇyatithi: Reflections on Human Life, Grace, and the Guru

Human life is rare and transient, yet only through true knowledge gained at the Sadguru’s feet does it become fruitful. Childhood, youth, old age, and death hang over everyone. One who receives Brahm Vidyā from the great ones makes life worthwhile. Human nature habitually sees flaws in others rather than rising by self-effort. A man found fault with the koel, moon, sea, and rose, but they retorted that he would be perfect if he stopped seeing shortcomings. Such bad qualities must be placed at the Guru’s feet for removal. The birth of such great beings in this land is a fortune. Nothing purifies the soul like jñāna, found in the Sadguru. Mantras are transmitted through bhajan, like Om̐ Namo Śrī Prabhudīpa Nārāyaṇam and Śrī Dīpanirañjana Śabadukha Bhañjana. The Guru is one, like a mother; take initiation from one and chant that mantra. Four graces are necessary: Deva Kṛpā for human birth, Śāstra Kṛpā for scriptural knowledge, Guru Kṛpā which can alter destiny, and Khud Kī Kṛpā, the inner urge to seek the Guru. The Guru’s grace descends only when the disciple approaches with selfless love, not greed. Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśa create and destroy, but only the Satguru can grant mokṣa. Without shelter of the Guru, life remains incomplete. The Guru can change what the Vedas have written. To recognize the Guru is difficult, yet connection to this ancient paramparā is a great blessing. “In this world, there is nothing as purifying for the jīvātmā as jñāna, and that jñāna is found in these great beings, in the Sadguru.” “Guru Kṛpā hi Kevalam, śiṣya ke Ānanda Maṅgalam.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Holy Gurujis Mahasamadhi Celebration (1/3)

A humble entreaty for spiritual grace and communal responsibility. The devotee bows to the Guru, the assembly, and the source of wisdom. A plea is made for the gifts of knowledge and devotion, seeking the compassionate gaze of the divine to bestow bliss. The holy company of saints is the sustenance for the mind, with the primordial Guru acknowledged as the first authority. There is a concurrent, practical request to the community: due to limited supplies, those using multiple bedding sets should manage with one, so all devotees may be accommodated. The self is offered entirely—body, mind, and wealth—to the Guru, who is the sole means to cross the ocean of worldly existence. "Jñāna bhakti mohī dījīye, Mā pitā jagadīś." "Tan man dhan he tharo, chaye shishra ke lo." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Phulpuriji becomes Mahamandaleshwar

The teaching concerns the spiritual legacy of Ādiśvara and the Daśanāmī Akhāṛā. Ādiśvara’s responsibility is to purify through Karma. Kailash Purījī performed penance and brought Śaṅkara’s influence to Rajasthan. The one who overcomes sorrow attains nirvāṇa. Kapila destroyed Sagara’s sixty thousand sons to protect dharma. The Darśanāmī Akhāṛā provided standing for the tradition in Kāśī and Mathurā. Without it, the community would have been crushed. The Śaṅkarī tradition upholds Varṇāśrama, with Śaṅkarācārya as protector. Devotion belongs to the organization, not to a bad reputation. Sanātana Dharma is the great tree; other sects are branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits. The Aumkār Mandir is established as a spiritual center. Saints carry hidden problems like thorns behind a rose, yet they smile. The Guru’s mantra is Nāda, awakening the disciple. The legacy continues through teacher and disciple. Kapila’s third eye annihilated those who insulted him. The Akhāṛā’s strength comes from the great deeds of its Mahant. Rajasthan remains a land of Śakti and Bhakti under divine protection. "The one who overcomes sorrow attains nirvāṇa." "Sanātana Dharma is a great protection, and all other sects of Dharma are its branches, leaves, flowers, fruits."

The Unity of Humanity

We are all one human family despite different lands and languages. India is a large and ancient land. People have moved across the world from places like India and Europe to countries such as Australia. All these places are connected. People may look different or speak various languages, but we share the same human form. Historical conflicts, like killings in Australia, occurred when people failed to see this unity. Governments and the United Nations speak of countries for all people. When we meet, we see others who dress like us and work hard, yet we sometimes claim a country as only our own. In truth, we are guests everywhere. When we die, it does not matter what country or religion we had. A dog, a cow, a buffalo—all die. Then, who remains? Therefore, we must love all persons regardless of color or origin. All faiths—Christian, Muslim, Yogi, Hindu—are good. We are human with good thinking, but in the end, we all return to the same nothingness. We are together as friends and brothers. "we should love all persons, little or the height, or this black or gourd or... Something, but we are human, and this is a human." "When we will die, and die much, but then we don’t know... There is nothing. There’s nothing." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Divali Festival

The light of divine grace illuminates the eternal truth. This celebration originates from the divine presence of Śiva, Viṣṇu, and Brahmā. God's grace manifested, allowing people to walk a new path at night, bringing the light of spiritual practice. Over time, people forgot this divine presence amidst worldly affairs. The observance involves gathering, where children are seated and it is said that God will come. The principle extends to all, as seen in the relationship between Kṛṣṇa and Rukmiṇī, which signifies a divine belonging for all devotees. The essence is the eternal, accessible truth. "When everyone comes, the children sit down... they say, 'Yes, you do one thing: sit in your house, sit there, so that God will come.'" "Rukmiṇī belongs to Kṛṣṇa. And that of Kṛṣṇa is Rukmiṇī. And Rukmiṇī belongs to all of us." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

We should have a flame

The pre-dawn hour and the nature of the flame reveal spiritual discipline and interconnected life. One hour before sunrise is the auspicious Brahmamuhūrta; those awake then become very spiritual. A disciple once slept through it, yet the Guru was patient. Another disciple, initially uneducated, through great hardship and the Guru's instruction, eventually excelled in learning and Sanskrit. The relationship between guru and disciple is foundational. All beings are like individual flames. Each flame depends on oil, yet flames can ignite one another, showing our fundamental unity. We are all connected like these lamps. The Earth is our mother, sustaining countless life forms. One must tread carefully, as taught in the story of Buddha, who moved slowly to avoid harming any creature. Modern disregard for this, through widespread animal killing and consumption, marks a departure from a more harmonious past. The goal is to become the clear, self-sustaining flame of awareness, recognizing our oneness with all. "Those who are awake and active during Brahmamuhūrta become very spiritual; everything comes to them." "We are all a lamp. As long as there is oil, the flame will come." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

We are only one

The mantra of oneness and the practice of alertness are essential. When gathered in a hall, individuals become one collective body, sharing and exchanging energy. This unity strengthens all. Daily yoga practice sustains this connection. One must be alert and engaged, not silent and passive. Verbal response demonstrates understanding and participation. This collective giving and receiving of energy is the core of spiritual practice. It transcends individual conditions and continues across lifetimes. "One in all and all in one." "We should be alert, alert, and that alert in which way?" Filming locations: Badīkhāṭū, Rajasthan, India.

A Meditation Instruction

A meditation instruction on posture and focus. Place your right hand over the heart and left hand over the navel, resting lightly. Keep both legs straight. Inhale and exhale normally. The eyes are open, but awareness is directed inward toward the heart. Do not let concentration waver. We perform a small, nameless devotional song that is meditation-like. The practice is simply to be present with this focus. "Eyes are open, our awareness is on our chest." "Do not let your concentration waver, everyone."

Find God within

Returning to nature is the path to health and spiritual fulfillment. In the past, people used natural powders like neem and burnt tree bark, and teeth remained strong. Modern brushing destroys teeth. Women’s breath and blood problems are remedied by babool powder within two days. Nature provides everything without cost. Leaving nature causes rapid decline; moving from India to Europe ruined teeth in two years. A professor’s family in Vienna sought yoga. The woman brought her cat for protection during practice. They later helped manifest Om Ashram. The aim was to create something nowhere and anywhere. Disciples gave devotion and funds; no money was taken from India. The ashram took shape over years. One worker delayed completion, so it may take a century. Yet the manifestation continues. Today, new singers arrived unexpectedly and received mantras. Life is not just life; one must go beyond the body to the inner self that is God. Therefore, returning to nature is imperative. "So nature is in nature." "I want to have that which is nowhere and anywhere." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

Bhajans from Rijeka

The text is an invocation honoring a spiritual lineage. It consists of repeated salutations to divine beings and gurus within a tradition. The variations in names and titles are stylistic honorifics, not contradictions. The purpose is devotional praise, not logical exposition. There is no narrative or argument to analyze for inconsistencies. "Oṁ Bole Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagvānī, Kī Jai." "Śrī Alakhpurījī, Śrī Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā, Kī Jai."

We have to be in unity

The practice of yoga fosters unity and personal discipline. Many faced hardship during recent global challenges, yet continued their spiritual practice at home. Observing practitioners worldwide reveals a growing alignment with compassionate living, such as veganism, which reflects yogic principles. True progress requires sustained commitment over years, not mere occasional effort. The core aim is to transcend perceived separation and realize our fundamental oneness. This unity is the essence of the teaching, moving beyond individual differences in diet, practice, or origin. Personal anecdotes about travel and health underscore the shared human journey. The ultimate goal is to harmonize the inner self with all beings. "Be careful here, and work this when the last time will be." "We have to become one. One in all and all in one."

The Eternal Tradition and the Divine Consort

The eternal tradition is the source of all sacred days. Others, like Christians and Muslims, have their holy days, but all this came from India. We see from Bhagavān Śiva, then Viṣṇu, then Rām, then Kṛṣṇa. Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa is great, and with him was his wife, Rukmiṇī. This is not about years; it is about devotion. Rādhā was his devotion. Now, we should all say Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa and Rukmiṇī. They are the same, and others are there with them. But Rādhājī knows he is Rādhā, and he is not equal. Those who do not know, we will explain in satsaṅg. We must bring Rukmiṇī back as the mother and keep her with us. "Others, like the Christians, are very late in comparison. They see everything exactly, but they tell it with another name." "But Rādhājī knows that he is Rādhā, so he is Rādhā. He is not equal, that’s why." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Longing for God

The core of spiritual life is compassionate practice rooted in the heart. The body is the vehicle for practice and must be cared for with healthy living. True yoga is a daily commitment, not a sporadic ritual. Many claim spirituality but fail in consistent practice. The essence is to see all beings within one's own heart, extending compassion to every creature. Do not harm animals; recognize the sanctity of life. Spiritual attainment requires unwavering devotion and surrender, as tested in parables of faith. Do not give up the quest to see the divine reality within all. Holy beings demonstrate the power of such devotion through extreme austerity and selfless love. "Today we should say in our heart, for all people, all creatures, we feel them all in our heart." "Humans are not animals. And therefore, we should know that we are humans, and as humans, we should not be killing."

How do we practice Bhramari?

The practice of breath and Brahmari requires consistent, moderate daily effort, not excessive exertion. Specific techniques exist, analogous to a balanced meal with various components. The practice involves three primary focal points: the heart, the navel, and the breath itself. One must learn to inhale and exhale properly through the nostrils, cleaning them as needed. The Brahmari technique follows these points and involves working with the breath's subtleties. Practice it briefly, for about five minutes, twice daily. Do not extend Brahmari for too long. The correct method uses the nostrils, with the lips closed and the mouth slightly open. This disciplined practice, done correctly, yields benefit. "You must practice every day." "We should take our breath in and out with both nostrils." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Bhajan evening from Vep

The text is a devotional invocation honoring a spiritual lineage. It begins with salutations to divine and guru figures, repeating their names with honorifics. The structure is intentionally repetitive for meditative chanting. The sequence remains consistent, focusing on the transmission of grace. Minor phonetic variations in transcription do not alter the core intent. The repetition is a feature of the practice, not an error. The invocation establishes a sacred connection through sound and remembrance. "Oṁ Śrī Alakhpurīśa Mahādevam, Śrī Śrīdeveśvara Mahādevam." "Viśvagurujī Paramahaṁsa Maheśvarānanda Yogirāja."

How the worm becomes Bhramari

Understand the three types of Brahmari. They represent different qualities within existence. One is small and resides in the earth; it bites fiercely if approached. The second lives outside, on structures or pictures; it bites only if disturbed. The third is considered the real Brahmari; it typically does not bite unless attacked. These three exist around us, often in villages. People may kill them, but they possess their own qualities. The real Brahmari makes a small house with several holes, a comfortable place where beings move in sequence. A transformation occurs inside; a worm changes, develops fingers, and is guided until it emerges beautiful. This process is like spiritual practice. Many do not understand it. Different inner sounds arise, related to the teeth and body. Do not rush this subtle process. It requires patient care, like tending a child. Acting without knowing can bring severe, unintended consequences. "They are making the, and the other one came in. She is bringing some food and also opening." "Otherwise, I don’t know. If I’m speaking so much, maybe it will go to me sick." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Do we reach?

Our days pass, yet we seldom consider who grants true achievement. Humanity began in simplicity, living well with shared resources and finding happiness. Now, we possess abundant technology, but remain incomplete, never satisfied. Our progress soars, yet we fight through machines, not as humans present. We practice much, but our complexities create difficulty and confusion. These material pursuits are a game that will not hold; they will fade. We must look within and return to our true nature, for external things are transient. "All creatures know they are doing just like this. But we are human, and to be human is very great." "Oh human, you will never be complete. You will never say, 'I am okay, finished.'" Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Gurudev bring us haven to haven

The teaching focuses on the practice of Brahmārī and the nature of the Guru. The Brahmārī is a technique centered in the heart, the body, and expressed through sound. There are many aspects to it, some unseen. True guidance is essential; attempting the practice without a genuine connection to a teacher can cause problems. The real Guru is a supreme principle, beyond even divine forms. Many are called guru, as anyone who teaches something holds that role temporarily. The physical distinctions of male and female are superficial; inwardly, there is unity. All beings and elements participate in this reality. Practice involves specific techniques of breath and awareness directed at the heart and navel, coordinating sound and inhalation precisely. "Above them is the guru. That guru is above even Śiva." "Everybody who gives us something is our guru." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Australia and Fijij

The narrative reflects on ancient migrations, colonial history, and spiritual continuity across lands. People from India long ago moved to Australia, living near oceans and eating fish and animals, eventually becoming isolated. Later, Europeans arrived, fought with them, and displaced them. The United Nations now records everyone's origins and has improved conditions for all. Indians were also brought to places like Fiji by the British to work with sugar, facing hardship but now living well. Disciples in these countries maintain Indian traditions, temples, and spirituality. The speaker travels to observe how people live, finding peace and devotion in simple, natural settings. Good water and spiritual practices are valued. Despite the challenges of different eras, a focus on prayer, vegetarianism, and reverence for life sustains a harmonious existence across nations. "They are from India; this is from India, from South India." "Now, the United Nations has made everything very good for everyone." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Invocation of the Divine Lineage

The text is an invocation to a divine lineage and a critique of its textual inconsistencies. It begins with repeated praises to deities and gurus, establishing a spiritual lineage. The chant uses honorifics and names in a devotional, repetitive structure. A separate analysis then points out logical flaws in the transcribed text. It notes variations in the spelling of sacred names. It highlights inconsistent use of synonymous honorifics like "Jaya" and "Jai." The analysis observes a lack of uniform punctuation and phrasing. It states the repetitive order of names varies slightly across iterations. The core devotional purpose remains, but the transcription shows formal inconsistencies. "Oṁ Bole Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jaya." "Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Śrī Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī Gurudeva Kī Jaya."

The Call to Awaken

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. Bhajan singing.

Ayurvedic medicine for joints

A preparation for the joints and a moment of peace are shared. Lie on your side. Relax completely. Imagine a forest. Feel only peace. An Ayurvedic joint preparation is now described. One betel leaf is needed. Betel leaf is available in Indian shops. Chuna, a natural calcium paste, is used in a matchstick-size amount. Gulkand, a rose-petal jam, is added half a teaspoon. It possesses cooling properties. One raisin is included. A garlic clove and an equal-size piece of ginger are used. One clove, one green cardamom, and one or two black pepper are crushed. The crushed spices are mixed with gulkand and raisin. Chuna is spread on the leaf. The mixture is added. A quarter teaspoon of fennel seeds is placed on top. The leaf is folded and placed in the mouth at night. It remains during sleep. Chewing is not required. The leaf stays whole. The preparation can be made for seven days and stored in the fridge. There are no problems with this preparation. Joint improvement appears gradually over two to three months. This practice benefits all joints, even if severely damaged. It is effective at any age. "Just relax. Don't think anything. Only think what you are thinking." "It will take a time, these leaves and everything, and it is very, very, very good." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Meditation for every creatures

Today is a beautiful day for the entire world, a day without sun or moon. Many beings, like cows in India, are suffering. We witness these events but feel limited in our capacity to act. For this period of meditation, sit in your heart and think of all creatures. Use your mala with this mantra and feeling. From your heart, give blessings so all may have this beautiful day. This meditation is for all beings, including animals in homes and forests. Sit or lie down as you like, but become one in this intention. "Give the blessings so that all should have today, on this beautiful day." "We will, we can give from our heart; it will be good for them."

We come and go

We gather again in this holy place after years apart, remembering our shared practice and those who built it, like Kṛṣṇānanda. Though physical forms pass, their names and essence remain eternal, like the divine trinity. Many teachers exist, but the true Guru is supreme, recognized even by scriptures. We are like birds, unaware when or where we will fly from this temporary body. All life consumes other life in a cycle. Humans emerged slowly with knowledge, distinct from animals, yet now our scientific pursuits often distract from the inner path to the divine. External achievements are good, but the spiritual journey inward is paramount. Our modern dress and habits can lead us astray, unlike the beautiful, respectful attire of tradition and ceremony. Our yoga community is good. Dietary choices matter; avoiding meat and harmful chemicals leads to better health and purity, especially for nurturing children. We will practice deeply here, beyond just postures, for holistic well-being. "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśa, Varāha. So, that is the final." "We are like the birds... We don't know when we will, or in which direction we will fly." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Miraculous Heart

The heart is the constant source of life and warmth for the entire body, sustained by prāṇa. The navel is the vital point of origin for the individual self, the ātmā. All spiritual practice converges in the heart. One must be careful and maintain good practices, as illustrated in the story where Rāvaṇa was defeated only when struck at his navel. Spiritual development requires sustained practice over time, not a quick acquisition. Feel the warmth from the heart and the cleansing coolness from the hand, focusing attention on the heart and then the navel. "Everything comes from the heart—warmth from here to the whole body." "And when it went to the navel, he died."

Feel your heart

Focus on heart-centered awareness and breath. Place your right hand gently on your heart to feel its warmth; the breath originates from here. Then bring awareness to the navel, focusing on these two points. The main practice is to think only in your heart, which is difficult as the mind wanders. Feel the warmth in your chest; applying no pressure allows great things to happen. Many problems arise from the heart, so placing your hand there brings peace. Keep your eyes closed and look inward, bringing attention back if it goes outward. Sit straight without leaning forward, using a comfortable breath. This practice involves prāṇa; even after death, something remains in the heart according to yogic tradition. This week, take good care of your body through mindful eating and daily practice. "The breath originates from here; it is warm." "First, we should not lean forward. That is not good for the breath or for our heart." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The importance of bhajans

The practice of devotion and spiritual discipline requires depth beyond mere repetition. Chanting names without understanding is insufficient. True bhajans impart profound meaning that resonates through the entire being, as seen in the works of great teachers. Practice must be undertaken with correct technique and gradual understanding, not haste. The example of learning to drive or fly illustrates that mastery requires patient guidance and alignment, not quick, superficial attempts. A specific breathing practice is given, but it must be performed with care—only a few repetitions—to avoid imbalance and to access the mind's deep energy. Spiritual progress is a structured journey with many steps to be learned over time. "All is something that one person named. This is not good." "So many people are only making bhajans...

Introduction to Jadan Ashram

The eternal call is to surrender and become the dust of the divine feet. A bhajan states you are forgiven and should enjoy life through dedication. The Guru's legacy is preserved in a treasure of teachings and bhajans. His presence is a balm for the heart. Without his blessings, no one would be here. Jadan is the embodiment of this legacy, a divine playground for purifying minds. It is a wish-fulfilling tree for humanity's upliftment, a center of divine energy where all purposes are met. The project includes a unique temple with a central Shiva Lingam and 1,008 others. This place tells the story of Indian spirituality through its statues. The Guru's work in stone is visible, but his greater work is within hearts and minds. True devotion requires complete surrender, which is simple in concept but difficult in action. To give everything is to receive everything. "My son, enjoy, you have been forgiven." "Become the dust of my lotus feet." Filming locations: Jadan, Rajasthan, India.

Practising pranayama and concentration

Breath awareness is a foundational practice. Begin with normal, relaxed breathing. Inhale through the nostrils and exhale through the mouth, but do not force it. The process should be gentle and humble. Observe the natural qualities of the breath, feeling the cool inhalation and warm exhalation. Ensure the breath flows evenly through both nostrils, not just one side. This practice reveals the condition of one's internal energy. Regularly clean the nostrils with water to purify this pathway. Inhaling clean air, such as from flowers, further refines the breath, though only a fraction of its benefit may be retained. "Inhalation is beautiful, very good. Relax." "Every day, or at another time, we have to clean our nostrils. Very clean. That is real cleaning."

I am Thine

The vessel of divine love is the theme of this bhajan. The composition, by Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandajī, addresses his Gurudeva Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī. It asks when the vessel will be filled. The bhakta waits at the door as a servant, fearing thirst. No one leaves that door empty-handed. A merciful glance awakens endless love in the disciple. The bhakta feels dying without love in the vessel. Past bhaktas like Mira and Kabīr received this love and drank with joy. Madhavānandajī implores for mercy to touch his soul. Mahāprabhujī declared the vessel was already filled. The disciple then stated only the Guru’s presence is desired. No wealth, no God, no other destination is wanted. Mahāprabhujī and Devpurījī affirmed the disciple is their own. At samādhi, the disciple said he remains always with the Guru. The presence, now in Badīkhāṭū and Om Āśram, is seen as living by those who come. The singular devotion made the Guru great. “When will you fill my pot with your mercy, with your love?” “I don’t want anything, only Gurudev, my Guru is everything.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Practising bhramari pranayama

The practice integrates sound and movement for holistic benefit. Proper learning ensures energy flows from the base upward and throughout the entire body. A single repetition is insufficient, yet excessive practice can introduce harmful techniques. Moderation is key, moving inward before returning outward. The method involves the condition of the jaw, either clenched or relaxed. We apply four specific techniques from a established system, with a fifth to follow. The sound produced is for you alone to hear, strongest at first then diminishing. Execute the movements directly and with clarity. "Health is good, surely not, but it’s very good." "Only you can hear it; no other spirit can hear you."

Bhramari practicing from Vep

Meditation begins with posture and breath. Release tension in the jaw and ears, keeping the lips gently parted. Sit comfortably, using a chair if needed for support. Practice involves cycles of focused breathing and relaxation. Follow a sequence of repetitions: five breaths, then relax. After a pause, three breaths, then relax. Then two breaths, and relax. Conclude with another cycle of five breaths followed by relaxation. The practice is about structured repetition and release. "Either you bite your ear or release it." "Five times. Then, sit like this again yourself."

A Spiritual Journey: Lessons from the Himalayan Lakes and Caves

A spiritual journey reveals lessons through nature's metaphors. After a teacher's passing, a solitary pilgrimage to the Himalayas was undertaken. At Satopant Lake, three lessons were received in meditation. The first lesson, from observing waves reaching the shore, is to accept whatever happens in life without resistance, as the earth accepts all. The second lesson, from the calm water, is to have no expectations, for inner calm allows clear perception. The third lesson, from a flowing stream, is to give whatever wisdom one has realized, nourishing others from one's inner reservoir. These principles guide growth. "Whatever happens in life, accept it." "Have no expectations. If you have expectations, you will be disappointed." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
