Jag Musafir Dekha: A Spiritual Reminder and Invocations

The black motor car appears to the world traveler—a sign of the final account. Om Bhola Sri Bhagavan Dev Purushama Dev Vakit Jai. Whose deeds have become a snare? What answer will be given? Keep the eyes awake, guard the time. The refrain: The world traveler saw that black motor car. Keep it in mind. Again and again, the understanding is given: set aside forgetfulness. The world traveler saw that black motor car, keep alert. Now be anxious before sleep closes the eyes. At the final moment, the world just departs. Pay constant attention. The question echoes: What answer to the Lord? Moment by moment, the child departs. Victory to the primordial being, the great god; victory to Mangilal Ji Maharaj; victory to Deep Narayan Bhagavan; victory to the unseen being; victory to the dharma king, the world teacher; victory to the lineage of siddhas, to the true guru. “Jag musāfir dekhā vo kālā kī moṭara yā rakhī” “Kyā javāb āge devegā, nainā nindā samaya rakhī” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Parabrahma Paramatma is behind the Moon and the Sun

The true guru guides the journey beyond form to the absolute. Many speak of heaven, but such states are not final; beings cycle through realms, including animal forms. True progress is like water evaporating from the ocean to form pure clouds, representing a refined state. That purity is accessed through true satsang. The real Satguru is a pure manifestation beyond Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, never speaking negatively. Bhagavān Śrī Devapurījī is that light, identified with the sun and existing beyond it, guiding beings to Parabrahman. He cannot be captured in a photo; to see him is to see the sun. Religion is a human construct. The ātmā is equal in all beings, from humans to ants. The body is temporary; the Self departs. The true guru gives only purity, enabling passage through the sun to Parabrahman. "Devapurījī said, 'If you want to see me like a picture, then my picture to see is the sun.'" "The real guru will give only pure, very pure." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

Releasing the knots of the heart

A spiritual journey moves from seeking to self-understanding. One arrives seeking external knowledge, like meditation. The path provides a structured environment of seva, sādhanā, and community. This life becomes a precious opportunity for inner focus. The external world and interactions serve as mirrors. Irritation reveals pre-existing inner patterns, not the other's fault. Life's purpose is pedagogical, to teach and unravel these knots. The practice is to remain present in the now. Realization comes from living this process to uncover the already perfect self. "Life is not to give you joy. Life is to teach you." "The creation in you, it means it is already in you; it is already in you." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Help every creature

Compassion for all living beings is the urgent teaching. The world experiences great heat and drought. Many animals suffer and die from lack of water. While the ocean is vast and salty, sustaining life within it, life on land requires fresh water. We must help where we can. Our circumstances change, as illustrated by an old story. A mother gives her son a ring, explaining it signifies that difficult times will pass and good times will also change. This is the nature of life. We are to learn from such teachings. Therefore, we must act with practical kindness. Use water wisely. Provide water for animals and birds. Share what you have with all creatures. This is a great blessing. "Whenever you have any problems... look in the ring. Good days will come." "We should help everyone, not only humans, but all birds and animals and everything." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Mantra and Mala

Life is the Ātmā within all beings, seen through the Self. Humans consume life, yet must understand this act distances them from the supreme. Feeling pain teaches non-violence. To approach God requires immense time and grace; unintentional harm may be forgiven, but intentional killing bars the path. Saints do not boast; true greatness lies in selfless service. The mala is a constant step toward God, paired with a mantra given by the guru or family. Regular prayer, like the Muslim practice, instills discipline. The greeting of praṇām is a mutual prayer for goodness. There are two mala practices: one uses a 108-bead mala with a Guru Mukhī bead, turned with the thumb and middle finger without crossing that bead. The other is Sumaran, a constant walking remembrance like the breath, without a guru point. The story of Hanuman illustrates that one's chosen divine name, like Rām, becomes an inseparable companion through constant repetition, leading ultimately to merging with divine light. "One mala means for us one step toward God." "Your Rām is your mother, your father, your brother, your good friend." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The way to God

The essence of spiritual life is Satsaṅg and recognizing the inner Guru. Religious identity is temporary, but the Ātmā within all beings is eternal. This essence is like an ocean, with individuals as drops from it. In this age, humility and goodness lead to the supreme reality, while pride leads elsewhere. The true Guru is beyond all deities, often silent yet profoundly present. External achievements and learning are not the final measure. True greatness is found in humble devotion and inner truth. Association with truth and pure company is vital, yet even simple, constant remembrance can be transformative. The ultimate state is one of inner silence, where all distinctions dissolve. "Guru Dev. What is the Guru Dev? The Guru is above Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva." "Sat. What is sat? What is it? It is truth. Truth. And Saṅgha.... With whom do you want to live?"

Pilgrimage to Himalaya 2018

The pilgrimage follows the path of the Pāṇḍavas toward heaven, beginning from Badrinath. The rivers Alaka and Nanda join at Manā to form the Alaknandā. The landscape holds the story of Arjuna's bow, where water sprang for Yudhiṣṭhira. The route passes Sahasradhara and Cakra Tīrtha, where each Pāṇḍava but Yudhiṣṭhira perished. The Satopan Glacier is receding, revealing moraines. The mountain ranges—Alakhpurījī, Nārāyaṅ Parvat, Nīlakaṇṭha, and Satopan—connect toward Svarga Rohini. This is the sacred geography where the Siddhis manifested. "When you look at this larger rock formation shaped like a bow, that is called Arjuna’s bow." "Only Yudhiṣṭhira passed the Cakra Tīrtha... He alone proceeded to Satopanth and further to Swāgarohiṇī." Filming locations: Manā, Chamoli District, India

Pilgrimage to Himalaya 2017

Badrinath is a sacred pilgrimage site dedicated to Lord Viṣṇu. It is described in scriptures as a place of meditation and liberation. Pilgrims first bathe in a hot spring before entering the temple for ceremonies. Nearby is the village of Mana and the cave of Ved Vyāsa, which resembles an ancient book. The Sarasvatī River flows from a valley to meet the Alaknanda at a confluence. The landscape includes mountains associated with deities and glaciers. The Alaknanda River flows from Lakṣmīvan to Devprayag, where it meets the Bhagirathi to form the Gaṅgā. "It is written in the Purāṇas and other holy scriptures that here, in this area, is a place of meditation and mokṣa." "The tradition is that first the pilgrim should take a holy bath in the water and only then enter the temple." Filming locations: Badrinath, Mana Village, Uttarakhand, India.

We need purity in our minds and souls

We live in two ways: our worldly life and our spiritual life. The spiritual seed within grows continuously. We are all searching for God, who is in everyone and every creature, even a mosquito. All life is God, including the elements like water. A single drop of water becomes the ocean. Similarly, in meditation, our individual self merges into the cosmic whole, like a drop returning to the ocean. Science and spirituality are both great, but they differ. Scientists die and do not return, while great yogis can exist beyond the body. Our goal is purification through daily practice. When life leaves the body, there is only one path for all, regardless of religion. Honor your mother and father as God. Everyone who teaches you is a guru. You must walk the path yourself. "Not only humans—each and every creature is God. A living little mosquito, yes, a mosquito also has life inside, and that is God." "A single drop of water becomes the whole ocean. This drop immerses in the whole ocean." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

The wish-tree Puja

A ceremony invokes peace and blessings for all existence. The divine mother is the fundamental creator. Invocations call for peace in the celestial realms, the earth, the dawn, the plants, and for all beings. Practical instructions are given amidst these blessings. The act of fetching water is consecrated and declared to become an offering. The ceremony concludes with repeated divine blessings and praises. "Gauṁ śānti pṛthivī śāntira vā śāntira uṣadayā śāntira vanaspati śānti viśvedi vā śāntira brahma śānti sarvau gauṁ śānti." "This will also become a garland." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Be peaceful and harmonious

The oneness of all life is the fundamental reality. All beings are interconnected. The divine essence is singular, whether called God, Brahman, or another name. This unity is observed in nature. Animals, from large herds to tiny ants, live in harmony and community. Humans possess a higher capacity but often misuse it through violence and separation. The elements—sun, moon, water—sustain all life, not just humanity. A human life is a sacred opportunity. One must nurture it with purity, non-violence, and love, as a parent nurtures a child. All distinctions of name, country, and religion are ultimately superficial. The goal is to realize the cosmic Self, where the individual drop merges into the universal ocean. This is the state of Parabrahman, beyond all form. "God is only one." "One in all and all in one." Filming location: Linz, Austria

Water Is Life

Water is divine essence and life itself. Where water exists, divinity is present. It constitutes our physical form and emotional expressions, like tears of sorrow or joy. Without water, the body fails and disease follows. It flows within our nerves and blood. The ocean's salt is vital, and its evaporation forms clouds that bring rain, sustaining all life. Yogis harness this essence through breath. Human pollution has contaminated many water sources, yet nature's cycle continues to purify it. Our existence is fundamentally aqueous; every cell requires this stream. Life is inseparable from water. "Where there is water, there is God. Where there is God, there is water." "Water is life. Life is the water." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram

The yogic sleep of the realized being is a state of wakeful awareness. In that sleep, one knows wakefulness and makes the night bright as day. The senses are withdrawn yet perceiving, unattached like a white lotus in muddy water. One abides in the self, radiant on the throne of the heart. Wherever one looks or hears, there is no ordinary thought or sight. This is the sleep known to saints and sages, where consciousness remains fully conscious. "In that sleep, one knows wakefulness and makes the night bright as day." "Wherever one looks or hears, there is no ordinary thought or sight." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Body and intellect

The body is our most important instrument, yet we must understand what it serves. We possess a body but are not the body itself. This possession creates attachment, which is not inherently negative but becomes a burden when it causes suffering. The body is a fragile instrument governed by the senses. Ancient wisdom compares it to a chariot: the senses are the horses, the mind the reins, the intellect the driver, and the soul the passenger. The intellect, the driver, is crucial. It must learn to control the mind and senses through discrimination and experience to carry the soul safely. While we care for the body through yoga and healthy living, the ultimate goal is to discover the passenger within. Attachment to comfort is natural, but wisdom teaches us its outcomes without needing personal suffering. The aim is to establish a relationship with the inner self. "Nothing is really important in life. Only one thing: look for the Self." "The body itself is only an instrument." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Try to be nirmohi

The Earth suffers from human exploitation, and our food has been destroyed by the loss of natural seeds and chemical pollution. We have dug coal, diverted water, and injected chemicals, making the mother suffer. Seeds that once lasted for generations now must be bought anew, and our vegetables are tasteless and dangerous. Educated people have ruined everything. Many diseases arise from this corrupted food. Yet, some are returning to cultivate good seeds at home. We must detach from worldly attachments to move toward the Supreme. Attachment, or moha, is the heaviest obstacle to self-realization. Discipline and satsang are the paths to remove this attachment. A story of a detached king illustrates that true renunciation means no attachment, even to family. Our senses and mind constantly seek more, but we must direct the mind through satsang and wisdom to control attachment while in the body. "Holy Gurujī used to say that Bhagavān Viṣṇu put seva and mokṣa in a scale. And the scale of seva was much heavier than mokṣa." "Attachment will always be as long as we have this physical body, as long as the indriyas are active. There will always be. But we should know this: that we wake our wisdom to know and to decide." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The forms of God

The journey of the jīva and the nature of the divine is explored. Living beings exist only to consume and be consumed, trapped in a cycle. Humans initially lacked knowledge, living like animals until divine revelation provided guidance. Though divine figures like Rāma and Kṛṣṇa appeared, many fail to understand their stature. People create many idols, yet the one Bhagavān is not confined to a place. All beings, from trees to animals, are moving and will ultimately go to Bhagavān. A turn to meat-eating and alcohol represents a regression, tying one to lower realms and foreign influences. In our tradition, we do not eat animals; no being is harmed in the divine court. The physical body is temporary. When the soul departs, the body perishes but the ātman remains—one and the same, without labels of Hindu or Muslim. The subtle body's destination is unknown. One must educate the next generation correctly. Ultimately, we are servants devoted to the Lord, with no other refuge. "They say, 'What will you do if you start eating meat and drinking alcohol?' This means, 'Go back, go with the insects.'" "The ātman does not say, 'I am Hindu,' or 'I am Muslim'... The ātman is one and the same." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Clear your mind

To change the world, you must first change yourself. Look within to see your anger, hatred, love, and devotion. Change comes through sitting with a guru, meditating, praying, and asking for forgiveness. The guru forgives and guides you to the Supreme Self. Do not blame others; first fix the bad within you. Never doubt the guru's decisions, even if they seem illogical, for his will is for your betterment. His grace alone ensures the disciple's welfare. A story illustrates this: disciples testing a guru with a bird asked if it was alive or dead. The guru said, "This is in your hands," showing our karma is our own. Another story tells of a marital misunderstanding over bread that lasted fifty years, highlighting how unspoken resentments cause lifelong suffering. Clear your mind through communication and forgiveness. "Guru kṛpā he kevalaṃ śiṣya kalyāṇamaṅgalam." "This is in your hands." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Atma resides in all creatures

The soul's journey is from individuality to unity with the divine. Our tradition sees all with love. Historical forces, from Muslim rulers to the British, have tested this unity, yet the essence remains. God is not present in only one place; God is omnipresent. The soul enters the human body after passing through many life forms. The human birth is a rare opportunity. The relationship between the individual soul and the supreme is like a drop and the ocean; they are ultimately the same substance. Upon death, the pure soul merges with the supreme consciousness, while others return to the cycle. Every helper in life, from a parent to a driving instructor, can be considered a guru guiding us. Our duty is to raise children in righteousness and to show compassion to all creatures, great and small. "God is not there only once. God is not there only once." "A drop of water and the whole ocean are the same inside." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Cornerstone ceremony for Bharat Mata Mandir

Dharma and the protection of the cow are our shared duty. The tradition and divine knowledge have been given. People were told not to have more than two children, which caused great sorrow. The cow, the mother of all beings, is now being slaughtered, bringing pain to the village and the land. Many who have studied have started eating eggs and meat, and this is linked to disease. Dharma arises when facing adversity. One must not fight but act according to eternal dharma. Those who serve diligently will not eat selfishly. Everyone belongs to this eternal path and must stand together to be strong. "The cow is the mother of all beings, the same as before. But now these people are slaughtering this cow." "Dharma is something unique in this world, unlike any other." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

Proper exercise is important to us

Evening satsang from Jadan Ashram, Rajsthan, India. Two things are important in our lives. What we eat and what we breathe. Yoga in Daily Life are practiced all over the world. Sarva Hitta asanas are good for everyone. Proper exercise is as important to us as food.

Let me come to You

The science of connection is a real, transmissible technique beyond ordinary thought. Ancient seers mastered direct communication without instruments, a capacity inherent in all beings for good or ill. Modern learning is left behind at death, but this yogic science travels with the soul. Our mortal body contains not one soul, but a multiplicity of souls within each cell, led by a primary soul like a honeybee queen. From this collective arises our individual character, which can manifest as spiritual humility or conflict. We must care for the body as our necessary vehicle until realizing the cosmic self. All life, like trees bearing identical fruit, shares this fundamental unity. We are interconnected parts of a single tree across the world. The current age presents challenges, but through steadfast practice and the guru's grace, we must persist on the path without giving up. "To see you all, I know, is a matter of science. It doesn't matter what we think; it is about techniques—the techniques, the science." "Our body is mortal, and our body will die. In our body, we have our ātmā, our soul. But in our body, there is not only one soul." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Guru is eternal

The Guru principle is eternal, transcending the cyclical divine play of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. These deities change and serve each other across ages, but the Guru's seat, the Gāḍī, remains. This seat is not the individual but the eternal principle they temporarily represent. Humans originate from the Saptaṛṣis, creating lineages of saṃskāra, not hierarchy. Our spiritual practice seeks the answer to "Who am I?" within this eternal shelter. The physical lineage continues through specific seats and disciples. "Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva will change, but the Guru will remain." "One should not sit on that chair... that Gāḍī will take that one." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Come here to practice yoga

The ashram's sanctity is preserved by its pure elements and dedicated practice. This land receives only divine water, ensuring the air, fruits, and vegetation remain uncontaminated and wholesome. It is a place for meditation, exercise, and walking among holy trees. One should visit often to partake in this purity, offer prayers, and enjoy the simple, good food. The environment is cool and refreshing, akin to the Himalayas outside of winter. A warm room is maintained for all who come to pray. Our collective work extends beyond the ashram through established councils and yoga programs, operating under United Nations principles to aid people, animals, and nature globally. This duty requires unified action, not individual effort alone. "From the other side, water comes, but water is already flowing in the other direction, so it does not enter." "The United Nations doesn’t give the money. But they gave us that we can do something." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Bhajan singing from Jadan Ashram

The yogi's sleep is a state of yogic consciousness where wakefulness is known within sleep, and day is known within night. It is a sleep without support, upon a white stone slab. In that sleep, one knows the day within the night. It is a sleep of knowledge, leading to the state of Nirvana. Through this practice, one meets the Supreme Person. The true form is revealed when one meets that Person. The guru's assembly reveals the true knowledge. The body is without a country; the divine person is wondrous. One who worships in this way is absorbed in the guru. "Us nindrāme jagratā jāne, punirātri me divasu jñānī hai." "Deha binā deśikānī hai, Deva Puruṣa dabhuta havāliyā."

Morning Invocations and Guest Arrangements

Evening satsang in Jadan Ashram, Distr. Pali, Rajasthan, India. Bhajan singing.

Become one with yourself

The universal sound of bhajan originates from the navel, or nābhi. This sound is not exclusive to humans. Birds produce beautiful voices akin to bhajans, especially in peaceful ashrams. Animals like cows and buffaloes express inner happiness through their sounds. Fish in the ocean and deep lakes also create sounds, which are heard as a collective song when the water is peaceful. Many creatures, including snakes, make indistinct vocal sounds together. While humans possess greater mental capacity, all beings participate in this universal expression. The sound within a bhajan carries profound beauty that resonates from this central point. "In the morning you can come, all the birds this day are so beautiful, giving their voices like they are bhajans." "When we go further down, and in the ocean when it is very peaceful, and we look deep, we hear many, many sounds. It is like a bhajan." Filming locations: Village, Rajasthan, India.

We are that drops

The teaching focuses on karma yoga, universal compassion, and the soul’s journey. Karma yoga stands as the highest path. Selfless service, or seva, brings peace, harmony, and understanding. Even an ant must not be harmed. On scorching days, food and water are offered to ants with care, using thorns and stones to guard the offering. God entrusted humans to protect all creatures; fulfilling this duty leads to Parabrahman. Those who understand refrain from killing any being. At birth, a child’s hands are closed, full of divine gifts; at death, hands open, having given everything away, taking nothing. The individual soul mirrors a drop of the ocean—one with the infinite Paramātmā. The body is a lamp; when its fuel is exhausted, the flame vanishes, unseen. All people, irrespective of origin, share that same Ātmā. Heaven and hell are transient; liberation lies beyond them. In this dark age, one must strive with strength toward the supreme. Do not lecture others about their food or drink; simply pray inwardly for their transformation. All nature sleeps at sunset and awakens at sunrise, yet humans ignore this cycle. Humans alone possess the capacity to grasp this truth and transcend. This understanding is the essence of human life. "Even when you go and there is an ant, a little ant, we should not step on it, not kill it." "Heaven is heaven, but heaven will also again go. And we have to come out from earth and heaven." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Spirituality in the heart

Our heart is a well of giving that must flow to remain pure. We are born from and abide within a vast spiritual ocean. Knowing "I am" and feeling God within, we are here not to sit idly but to help others. Helping flows from the heart, generating more power, peace, and love. Giving enlarges the heart; withholding causes stagnation. Just as a well gives fresh water the more it is drawn, the heart yields more peace and harmony through giving. We must not refuse to give, for in truth, you are everything. Our inner energy must be kept alive by giving what we like. Even when the body perishes, the heart becomes a vast space. We practice to attain this greatness, giving to all beings. This heart-based spirituality surpasses all books. We are ultimately one. "When we help one another, it comes from our heart: more power, more peace, more love, more of everything." "As much as is drawn, so much flows... when we draw water, then clean, fresh, very nice water flows out again and again." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Practising asanas concentration and bhramari pranayama

A guided practice integrating physical posture, energetic seal, and meditative awareness. Begin standing with feet together, then apart. Execute movements with the arms and gaze to each side, synchronizing with breath. If necessary, one may sit. Kneel, placing one leg forward, fixing the gaze on a single point. Extend the arms and return slowly. Raise the hands overhead, palms pressed, then close the eyes. Sit with crossed legs. Form the gesture with thumb and index finger. Perform the specific seal twenty-one times, coordinating with the natural breath. Recite the sacred sound eleven times with eyes closed. Perceive the vibration moving from the central point upward to the crown and back to the nostrils. Become aware of the stations along this internal pathway. This is an introductory instruction for working with the subtle energy and its centers. "Perceive the normal inhalation and exhalation." "Become aware of how many stations there are on the path."

Practising bhramari pranayama

A guided practice for hemispheric balance through breath and focused attention. Sit straight and concentrate. Use both index fingers at the ears. Keep elbows aligned. Bite the teeth evenly to hear the sound from both sides. Control the teeth to engage both hemispheres. Perform the breath cycles for a set count, then rest. Place hands on the head and feel the vibration in both hemispheres. Observe the difference when teeth are open or closed. The breath should be equal through the nostrils. Restlessness indicates a lack of balance between the hemispheres. This technique requires consistent practice over many days. Learning this balance is not immediate, like learning to drive or fly. One must practice until it becomes internalized, able to be done without the teacher's presence. The key is intense concentration, like a pilot focusing only on the instruments, ignoring external conditions. All aspects of life and yoga require this deep, singular focus to be mastered. "Bite your teeth and see what the difference is from both." "When the master is with, but when the masters are not, that’s a problem. So, slowly." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The master and his disciple are one

The light of the Guru is the supreme reality. The divine lineage embodies this light. A disciple's journey involves initial confusion and resistance to the Guru's guidance. Through persistent devotion and surrender, grace is received, often in moments of deep meditation or on sacred occasions. The ultimate truth revealed is the non-dual oneness of Guru and disciple. This unity is not of form but of essence, like the ocean and its drops. Many teachers give instruction, but only the Satguru bestows the transformative blessing that awakens this knowledge within. This realization requires consistent practice and turning inward. "Guru and disciple are one." "I will make you one."

Auspicious Arrival

Today is an auspicious day for blessings and academic honors. First-year students are being honored, and third-year students are graduating. All gather to study the great scriptures together. Progress is made under shared leadership. This collective advancement fosters well-being. Such well-being persists even amidst adversity. The day is marked by both celebration and spiritual study. "Today, the first-year students of our university will be honored here." "May we all progress well here under the leadership of our Surajil, so that we may all be well even among adversaries."

Donate to handicapped people if you can

A grand ceremony is planned at the ancient Ālakpurījī temple. The temple, though once small, has grown and requires renewal. A beautiful chariot will bring a revered elder for the disciples. Many will participate in a slow procession with kalaśas and bhajans. All saṃnyāsīs are invited globally. The following day marks an anniversary connected to global peace work through the United Nations. This connection facilitates charitable action for humans, animals, and nature. Support for these universal causes is sought. "Whatever you can give, you may give. This money will go only for that purpose." "We help people, animals, and nature; we protect water and so on." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

In your body is God inside

A new consciousness is dawning through veganism and spiritual unity. Ālakpurījī's presence is growing worldwide, not just in India, like a seed becoming a beautiful flower. Many are realizing the divine within without formal yoga. A global shift is occurring: young people are adopting veganism, understanding we must not torture or kill life. This marks the converging ages; Kali Yuga's darkness is receding as Satya Yuga's light rises. We must survive by choosing non-violence. The soul suffers immensely when life is taken, creating negative karma. Our time is to protect animals, showing the love we give to pets to all creatures. This creates a new world of peace. Human intelligence can achieve great good, recognizing God within all. Life is short; hold to God and help all beings. Equality is essential; the soul has no gender. The current strife over possessions is Kali Yuga's darkness. We must bring light and realize Brahman. "Now veganism has begun around the whole world. And year by year, the young people, they brought in their brain that yes, we should not kill life." "Our life is not our body, but in our soul... And that is feeling very terrible things. And with this, they die. The soul goes out very torturing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The real yoga nidra

The essence of Yoga Nidrā is a true yogic practice, not mere sleep or relaxation. Common understanding is incomplete. The real practice requires inward focus and disciplined sādhana on a single, straight path. Many practitioners are scattered, beating the sand for a snake that is not there. Animals and birds remain true to their own nature and path; humans must do the same. Do not be lured by illusory fruits into thorny bushes. Follow the guru's words directly. Choose the stick of discipline over the melting ice cream of transient pleasure. Perfect this practice by sitting with your mālā for one hour, with focused awareness. "Many people are doing yoga, meditation, and concentration all around the whole world, but only rarely will they realize." "What do you want, ice cream or the stick?... I said, with both hands, 'My stick.'"

We need peace in the whole world

Peace is the essential state and practice. The word "Śāntiḥ" encompasses perfect happiness and is invoked to conclude prayers. The world desperately needs this peace. Our practice and mantras are good and must be shared. Life is like a flame sustained by energy; when that is gone, the flame goes out. Our bodies contain the five elements. We should begin the day with reverence for earth and water. Observing nature, like birds and dogs greeting the sun, reveals a shared vitality. Dietary choices, like abstaining from meat, can bring more peace and clarity. Personal rituals, like morning Pūjā, connect us to this energy. We should send prayers for others from our own prāṇa. The flame of a lamp is powerful; showing it to a child can aid sleep. Our practices and words are a spiritual wealth to be given to all. We will face difficulties but should build and give goodness. Practice Trāṭak by gazing softly at a flame's clean light, then closing the eyes. "Śānti is both a feminine principle and the state of perfect happiness and joy." "Life is like this fire. When everything, like ghee, is consumed, it will go away." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

A Call for Oneness and Earthly Stewardship

We must awaken to oneness and become stewards of Earth. Our spiritual work is for all, transcending gender, moving into unity. We have destroyed much and must restore the earth, our second mother, who now cries. Chemical pollution affects every creature and leads to our conflict and demise. Earth, water, and energy are the three vital points we must protect. We must also love children properly, for they are essential to bringing the world back to peace and harmony. Our collective care will restore balance. "When we said Aum, that Aum became for all in one—one in all and all in one." "Mother Earth, and the water and the air—these three points—if we can care for them, we will be again very good." Filming location: Croatia

Morning practice from Salzburg

Yoga practice integrates physical postures with mindful awareness. Begin with toe movements and leg stretches. Perform the full butterfly posture, bringing soles together and bending forward. Alternate leg stretches while keeping the opposite leg straight. Practice repetitions consistently, ideally in the early morning. Maintain postures like Ānanda Āsana for relaxation, distinct from śavāsana. Synchronize movements with collective energy. Keep heels elevated during certain poses to maintain form. The practice builds discipline and vitality through regular, attentive exercise. "Because when we do exercises, then the energy, the body, and everything, they say, this is the time." "When we all do our yoga in daily life, all people everywhere, then we should go up at the same time."

Just be humble and give

Humanity has lost its connection with Mother Earth, creating suffering and destruction. Humans possess great intelligence and spirituality, yet this development has led to harming the planet and each other. Modern advancements, while impressive, often involve chemicals and practices that spoil the natural world and human health. The Earth, our second mother, is now in very bad condition due to this interference. Despite having everything, people still fight and seek to kill, forgetting their shared humanity. The call is to return to humility, peace, and oneness with all life. Healing begins by sitting with Mother Earth, offering prayers, and giving selflessly. "Morning, when I wake up, I see my eyes open, and what I said, 'I am what?' Human." "We have destroyed the earth. All is for Mother Earth. Whatever we are bringing, all that is happening, why not we give some good?" Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Shivaratri Satsang with Vishwaguruji

We are the essence of Śiva, Śakti, and the Guru. From primordial space emerged three elements: space, air, and fire, associated with Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. Śiva and Śakti are one unified power, with Śakti as the dynamic force and Śiva as the conscious principle, manifesting as duality within a single body. This power is in all things. The five elements—water, earth, fire, air, and space—are alive and conscious. Our individual ātmā is like a drop from the ocean of universal consciousness; we are never separate. Everyone is a guru, as a guru is one who imparts knowledge, from a parent to a teacher. All spiritual paths and rituals, like holy water, connect to this one power. Do not reject helpers like doctors, for we may need them. True knowledge unites the scientist and the spiritual guru. "Śiva and Śakti, Śakti is the power, great, everything, and the other is that Śiva." "We are all one, and we have one heart here and our ātmā here." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

When the heart is open

The heart's call for spiritual communion is the essence of satsaṅg. All beings, from birds to humans, instinctively seek the company of their kind. This gathering fulfills a deep inner need that solitary practice cannot. People travel great distances to sit in an ashram's atmosphere, not merely for formal practice but for the nourishment of shared presence. Spiritual practice is more than physical exercise; it is for the ātmā. True reality and purity come from the heart, not from books or intellectual discourse alone. This longing is a positive addiction to peace, joy, and divine connection. When alone, the heart calls out for the company of fellow seekers. We are all gurus to one another in this shared human journey toward inner clarity. "My bhaktas, my disciples, my friends, when they come, then my heart, my feelings..." "We are also addicts. But our addiction is to spiritualities, happiness, joy, peace, God." Filming locations: Vienna, Austria.

We can't judge anybody good or bad

Great yogīs and ṛṣis exist, unseen in mountains and caves. Their profound state is beyond ordinary comprehension. The true essence is Guru's grace alone. Many claim greatness, but the authentic one does not proclaim it. The ultimate gurus are the divine principles of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. All beings, male and female, embody Śakti and can attain this state through practice. The body is temporary; the soul journeys. The Guru is the pilot guiding all disciples. Without that grace, one is like a bird with cut wings, unable to ascend. "Guru Kṛpā He Kevalam. If you believe and you feel this, and you do everything, and you become a Guru." "Without Śakti, nothing will be. But they have to practice. They have to learn."

Concentration is the path towards God

The mala is a path to inner concentration and oneness. Sit comfortably and hold the mala near your chest. Closing the eyes is difficult as the mind scatters externally. True concentration, sustained within, is the path to God. The mala's beads move on a single thread, converging into one point like all beings returning to a center. This practice is Sumaraṇ, the Guru, the Paramātmā. Focus awareness within the body, at the heart or chakras, not on external things. All aspects of self become one beat, the whole universe. The outer world is Māyā; we have lost inner practice. In sleep, we find silence and a search for self. To find peace, bring yourself within. Each bead is a guru, but the true guru is within thyself. "If we can control our concentration, we have definitely found the path to God." "When we close our eyes, we are one—one in all, and all in one."

Feel the divine sounds of bhajans in your heart

Satya Sanātana Dharma reveals the truth uniting all within and without. Satsaṅg is gathering in truth: Sat is truth, Saṅg is togetherness first within oneself. Every spoken word, thought, and feeling contains Sat. When one person embodies truth, it returns multiplied and fills all. In deep sleep, truth emerges and one travels far in dreams. Upon waking, dream experiences vanish, revealing their unreality. Desires fulfilled in dreams are not waking truth, as shown by the ice cream story. A blind sādhu recites all holy books by heart, having inner sight. Bhajans arise from within, permeating body, energy, and sound. During a singer's pause, the bhajan's vibration is fully absorbed. Listeners must cultivate deep, silent listening. A single negative word can shatter the state of Satguru and bhajan. Impurities must be continually cleansed. The voice in bhajan, in any language, comes from the inner self. Opera singers feel the voice resounding in the whole body, uniting instrument and self. Satguru is the truth and the teacher as one. Satya Sanātana is the eternal truth, bringing inner and outer balance. "In every word we speak, even in our thoughts and feelings, there is Sat, truth." "Even with eyes closed, when you are singing, you too will sing with closed eyes... we have to clean away the impurities." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Purify yourself inside and out

The Satguru Chalīsā offers pure words that purify the heart and world. These verses cleanse impurities from thought, word, and deed. Purification is a simple, universal process. Physical cleansing practices, like nasal irrigation with neti in the morning, protect the lungs from disease. Similarly, traditional methods for cleaning teeth can maintain strength. Impurities are not only physical; negative words and mental tensions inhaled from the environment become diseases in the body. Yoga addresses both physical and mental impurities, promoting health for all beings. The practice of yoga, observed in the natural postures of creatures, is the ultimate purifier. "All that we are, all that we have, all that we are doing is purification." "Yoga is the greatest of the greatest."

You are like bees

The eternal essence, the Ātmā, is the singular sweetness within all existence. The divine flow of grace manifests through many forms, yet the source is one. Just as a single father and mother give rise to many children, the one truth expresses itself through many gurus and disciples across generations. The physical body is temporary, composed of five elements that return to nature, but the ātmā is eternal. This essence is like a single drop that contains the potential of the entire ocean. Every being—humans, animals, trees—possesses this same divine sweetness within. Therefore, one must cultivate purity in every aspect of being and never harbor negativity or harm toward others. The practice of devotion, like the collective work of bees producing honey, allows this inner sweetness to flow forth and unite all. "Otherwise, there is only one Guru, or one God, and then God will not be all Gurus, everybody." "This is not a body, but ātmā, and this is like one drop, and this drop is not like a neat drop. This one drop can make immense water again." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Purity is important in every level

Knowledge is a seed within, requiring daily cultivation through sacred texts and pure living. Sacred texts like the Śiva Purāṇa and Bhagavad Gītā contain immense knowledge. A small daily reading plants this seed within, which grows into understanding. This knowledge reveals our inherent unity and divinity. True practice extends beyond study into daily life. Physical cleanliness reflects inner purity. A harmonious home, where all share in cleaning and care, embodies spiritual principles. This purity is the essential Śakti, or divine energy. All beings, from ants to humans, demonstrate natural order and care. Our human duty is to live with this conscious purity in every action, seeing the divine in all. "Just one seed, a little seed. The seed is so little, and it comes little, one plot, and that comes more, big, big trees." "Clean means thinking. Thinking good for this person, they are good."

The Living God Within: Teachings on Life, Devotion, and Self-Care

The living God is within all beings, recognized through yoga, devotion, and self-care. Yoga's spread across Europe brings divine presence through Alakhpurījī and Mahāprabhujī. Seeing Alakhpurījī unifies the seer with him. God is a living reality, not merely a historical name. The living God permeates the five elements; if one ceases, life ends. God enters human form through birth. Śiva and Śakti symbolize the male-female unity in each person. All life, from birds to trees, contains divinity. Dharma means non-violence; Jainas avoid harming any creature, walking barefoot. Prayer connects to the divine and gurus through morning-evening devotion. Physical care, like consuming calcium, sustains the body for spiritual life. Life exists everywhere, in earth, ocean, and air. Humans must know the living God directly. Devotion transcends specific names, embracing all divine forms. Self-care preserves the body as a vessel for the living God. Non-violence extends to all living beings in daily acts. Spiritual practice includes prayer for all gurus, not one. "But the difference is that we have to know the living God. And when we see the living God, then you will know my God, the living God." "Life is everywhere. And all we can have doesn’t matter on the earth, in the ocean, in the air, etc. Life, life is the life." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
