This talk explains the yoga stick and the practice of prāṇāyāma. The stick is a tool for support during long meditation and prāṇāyāma, adjustable to one's height. It can also aid with back discomfort, help maintain posture, and serve as a focal point for concentration. The practice of prāṇāyāma concerns the vital energy, or prāṇa, within the body. Our physical body is nourished by food and liquid, the anna-maya-kośa. The energy that animates this body is the prāṇa-maya-kośa, which governs all functions from circulation to digestion. Imbalances in prāṇa, often caused by poor nourishment or negative emotions like anger and jealousy, lead to disease and discomfort. The practice aims to purify and balance this energy. Key techniques include feeling the breath in the nostrils and Nāḍī Śodhana, a purification practice alternating breath between nostrils. Regular practice balances the body's 72,000 nerve channels and the energies of the moon (Iḍā) and sun (Piṅgalā) leading to health and harmony. "Prāṇa is doing that. Prāṇa-maya-kośa in whole body, so there is a prāṇa." "If we practice prāṇa prāṇāyāma, then we can get all energies balanced in our body and every kind of function in the body."

The human life is a precious opportunity for the soul's eternal journey. Yoga is the cosmic principle and science for health, not merely exercise. Among 8.4 million life forms, only humans possess intellect to discern good from bad and can cease the cycle of rebirth by uniting with the cosmic light. Time is abundant; one must use it wisely for spiritual practice. The soul resides within, connected to the body's centers like the navel and heart. The body contains millions of life forces, yet one primary soul seeks liberation. Practice begins with mindful awareness each morning. "Humans can do something. They have the last chance that now either you or we become one with God or the universe, and we will come back no more." "When we wake up in the morning... Say only one word... 'I am human.'... the whole day, your time, your day will be very happy and very good."

The sound Om harmonizes everything in nature and within us. Yogic practice seeks balance through understanding the five sheaths of our being. The first is the physical body, Annamaya Kośa, formed by nourishment. From this comes energy, Prāṇamaya Kośa, which can be positive or negative based on our thoughts and diet. The third sheath is the mind, Manomaya Kośa, a powerful force that can be trained. Following this is the sheath of knowledge and intelligence. The fifth is freedom from karma. True yoga involves harmonizing these layers. Practice should be slow and exact, focusing on a few postures, breathwork, and meditation to access inner energy and peace. Medicine has its place, but for minor issues, reliance on it is discouraged. The goal is to look within, where the entire universe resides. "Our body, composed of five elements, is called the body of nourishment." "Prāṇa is the energy, and prāṇa we can also say is life." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

The soul's journey requires a guide to reach the supreme reality, Brahman. People act only for this life, not knowing what comes after. We need a master, like a navigator, to guide us to the Brahmalokas. The master never dies, as the body is merely a dress; the soul is eternal. Nothing truly dies; the five elements simply merge back into themselves. The human purpose is to achieve liberation. Traditional life stages provide a path: Brahmacharya (student until 25), Gṛhastha (householder until 50), Vānaprastha (retreat to the forest until 75), and finally Sannyāsa (renunciation). However, true renunciation (vairāgya) can come at any age if one is detached. Life tortures us with desires and ailments, but following dharma protects us. A story illustrates detachment: a queen gives her son a ring inscribed "this day will go," teaching him that both joy and sorrow are transient. "The master never dies. Second, you also do not die. The body is not the master. The body is not a student or a disciple. It is only a dress." "If you will follow the dharma, dharma will protect you. If you will not follow the dharma, the dharma will not protect you." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

The resonance of life is found in the mother tongue and the divine sound. Dharma is not religion; it is universal qualities like humility and kindness. A high spiritual title, like Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar, is earned through such dharma. The first knowledge comes from the mother. The mother tongue is the original language spoken to a child in the womb, representing primal communication. This connects to the concept of Nāda Brahman: the supreme reality is sound. This divine resonance is in all creation and manifests through our speech, which can be positive or negative. Life is sustained by water, which is synonymous with life itself. Our inner being has multiple layers, from the physical body to the vital energy and the soul. The ultimate goal is realizing oneness, the non-duality expressed as Yoga. The human form is the highest creation, capable of connecting with the supreme through knowledge and love. This connection is guided by the inner Guru, the master of consciousness. "Where there is water, there is life. Where there is no water, we will die." "The supreme, the highest, is the sound. And this sound is negative and positive." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

Our hands hold energy we can awaken through simple exercises, not miracles. Open your palms and feel the sensation. Bring them close without touching to awaken inner energy centers for self-healing. Practice this briefly anywhere to relieve tiredness. Further steps involve pressing the wrist to affect circulation, demonstrating our innate bodily energy. This is part of yoga for health, costing nothing. The human being is complex, like a nation containing many life forces, not just one soul. We consist of five layers: the physical body, the energy sheath, the mental sheath, the intellectual sheath, and the bliss sheath. True knowledge dawns from within through contemplation, not just argument. The Vedas are eternal knowledge, with meanings revealed through humility and a teacher's guidance, leading to inner realization and harmony. "Look. How is it happening in our body? Our palms are open. Do you feel a sensation in the hands, the palms and fingers?" "In the Bhagavad-gītā, Śrī Kṛṣṇa says, 'One who has that approach, for that one who has this approach, for him I am never lost, and for me that disciple is never lost.'"

The inner life of yoga begins with the mother and the embryo. Practice starts in the womb, where the mother is the first teacher, communicating through thought, speech, and action. This early education shapes the child's development. Yoga is the union of consciousness and space, the fundamental principle from which all elements arise. The sound of the universe, Nādarūpa Parabrahma, is the supreme resonance that touches our origin. Our inner resonance, expressed through words and feelings, creates harmony or discord. True meditation turns inward, beyond external visualization, to confront the inner self. The body is a universe of life, requiring natural nourishment and care. Yoga in daily life means listening to the body, practicing without force, and integrating beneficial techniques while maintaining inner awareness. "Yoga means union. Union with, but still, what is there?" "The sound is God. Sound is supreme. Sound is the resonance on our whole bodies, on the earth, in the water, in the air, everywhere, everywhere."

One word transmits a message to all, like rain falling equally on every creature. In difficulty, know you are carried by God, not abandoned. A true yogi, beyond all ritual, desires nothing, not even from Shiva. The soul is spotless, like the endless sky. Our body is a temporary shell; the eternal Ātmā within is one with the Guru's heart. Purification is for the mind, but the soul itself is already pure. "When the difficult time comes, then you should know that you are now with God." "Ask anything. He said, 'Okay, if you want to ask me anything, then get up.' What he said to Shiva, 'Go from here.'" Filming location: Dungog, New South Wales, Australia

The eternal Guru is the supreme reality above Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. God is one, appearing through different names and forms. Both formless and form are equal, as taught by Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa. Brahmā creates, Viṣṇu protects, Śiva brings forth, but they too are bound. Brahmā searched for Viṣṇu and failed, becoming disappointed. Śiva declared: “I created Viṣṇu and Brahmā, I am self-manifested.” The Trimūrti functions, yet the eternal one is the Guru. The Guru is Parabrahma. The root of meditation is the Guru’s form. The root of worship is the Guru’s feet. The root of mantra is the Guru’s word. The root of liberation is the Guru’s grace. Incarnation is of two kinds: Nimitta, occasional, and Nitya, the eternal Guru. The Guru guides like a pilot, beyond worldly knowledge. Holding onto the Guru is essential; without roots, one loses everything. Meditate only on the Guru’s form, not on outward sights. Follow only the mantra given by the Guru. Liberation comes solely through Guru’s grace. “Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ.” “Dhyāna Mūlaṁ Guru Mūrti, Pūjā Mūlaṁ Guru Pādaṁ, Mantra Mūlaṁ Guru Vākyaṁ, Mokṣa Mūlaṁ Guru Kṛpā.” Filming location: Sydney, Australia

The science of the human is achieving oneness with the Cosmic One. Most seek heaven through good deeds, meaning not to torture any creature. All life consumes life; the snake eats the frog, the frog eats the fly. This is jīva jīva bhakṣate. Existence began from space and consciousness, between which a balance emerged. This resonant balance is Śiva. From resonance came sound, from sound came light, and from light came vibration, leading to the duality of Śiva and Śakti. The five elements constitute our sheaths, and upon separation, these elements return to themselves; nothing dies but changes form. The human duty is ahiṃsā, non-violence, the highest principle to return to the cosmic self. The body contains chakras connecting to earth, plants, and animals. The human consciousness begins at the root, the mūlādhāra. The soul is not singular; each cell has life, yet all together form one complete Ātmā. This soul enters through the navel. True yoga is the science of sound and resonance within, not merely physical postures. Chanting OM correctly involves the whole being, from the navel to the crown. "Jīva jīva bhakṣate. This one creature is killing and eating others." "Ahimsā paramo dharma. Non-violence is the highest principle to come to the cosmic self." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

The supreme reality is the form of sound, a divine resonance that is our eternal nature. This sound is oneness, dissolving all duality and negativity. It exists within the heart, in a subtle cave where the true self resides. This life force is present in all beings, from humans to the smallest insects and plants. Our desires often seek painful joys, which are slow poisons that obscure awareness. Spiritual practice and the Guru's grace are a continuous river following the soul across lifetimes. A seed planted by the master will grow, carrying the potential for awakening. The quality of our spoken sound shapes our reality. Kind, pleading words carry a positive resonance that melts the heart, while harsh words create conflict and negativity. To receive the Guru's vision is to be purified, liberating one from all sins and impurities. Constant remembrance of the divine name brings clarity, making all worldly pleasures seem tasteless. Singing these truths leads one beyond the ocean of worldly existence into liberation. "Where there is duality, there is still negativity, and when there is no duality, it is oneness." "Your words are so pleasant for me to hear, what you are talking about, what you are giving."

The first gods are the mother and father, followed by the teacher or guru. The ancient teaching is "Mātṛi Devo Bhava," meaning the mother is the highest God. The second is "Pitṛi Devo Bhava," the father. They gave us life and are holy for all creatures. The word 'Guru' means one who dispels darkness ('gu') with light ('ru'). The mother is the first guru, speaking to the child in the womb, giving the mother tongue. The father, friends, and school teachers are also gurus. Anyone who teaches us something—riding a bike, swimming, or in school—is a master. We must respect all masters. Without respect, knowledge is lost. The guru is the knowledge itself, not the body. This knowledge passes from master to student, mother to child. Human life has a higher purpose: to achieve union with the Supreme. This requires a spiritual master. Humans can rise or fall based on their actions, understanding good and bad, which animals do not. We have many masters in worldly life. True yoga is mastering the mind and consciousness across waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states. This leads to the bliss of the Self. "First, it is said in the Upaniṣads: 'Mātṛi Devo Bhava.' The mother is the highest." "'Gu' means darkness. Ignorance means we do not know. And 'Ru' means light, knowledge, clarity." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

The culture of love and learning within a school is eternal. The teachers uphold the nation's and the children's culture. The children are taught sāttvik practices, including a vegetarian diet and morning prayer. Parents must also abstain from alcohol, meat, and milk to avoid disease. The parents are the primary shapers of the child, like a potter with clay, before the gurus impart life and sacred duty. The nation's future depends on protecting its culture and educating with love. Parents must engage with their children's learning for true progress. "Protect our country, protect our village, protect our culture, and teach." "Children are like a pot of mud. The parents can make a good statue from their pot." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The truth of a devotee's life is fearless and leads to immortality. Why fear this truth? Exemplary devotees like Dhruva and Harishchandra never abandoned righteousness, even when tested. Kabir and Mirabai demonstrated this fearless devotion, attaining the immortal state. The Pandavas, though opposed, were true devotees whose names are remembered. This immortal state is granted by the true Guru, received through grace at the divine feet. The devotee's truth is real, so why feel anxious in the heart? Achieve that imperishable, immortal body. "Bhakta ari kā sacchā uve, tu kyun mann mein gabarāyā? Kar du ajar amara tana kāyā." "Satguru Sāheb Śrī Deva Purīṣa Puṇya Pūrva Se Pāyā. O swanidīpa caraṇa pada cakara, ajar amara pada pāyā."

The path of yoga and the sound of Oṃ leads to liberation. Learning Oṃ is easy, but many do not fully intone it. Understanding yoga begins with Aum. Chanting Oṃ from the navel to the crown chakra makes meditation peaceful. Prāṇāyāma serves physical health and yogic consciousness. Modern practice often focuses only on postures, but yoga has no competition; challenge arises from ego. True practice is for all, not only ascetics. Laziness is not yoga. The body contains 72,000 nāḍīs, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā being primary. These channels influence health and mind. The Viśuddhi Cakra purifies poison, like anger, which harms the body. Unresolved anger causes suffering in relationships and health. Small grievances create major pain; clear them immediately. Inner purification through the chakras cleanses negativity. Practice requires discipline, not using meditation as an escape. The face reveals one's inner state; nothing can be hidden. Various yogas lead to supreme consciousness. Meditation means focusing only on the mantra to find inner peace. "According to yogic sādhanā, if we can understand what yoga is, then the first path is definitely Aum." "In yoga, there is no competition and no challenge. We do not give the challenge. If you want to give the challenge, then it means you have lost, because now you are the ego."

True meditation requires deep inner stillness, not mere restlessness disguised as practice. Discipline is essential, yet restlessness persists. The Guru's grace is fundamental for liberation, not divine beings. Stories illustrate this: Ramakrishna was told by the Divine Mother that only his Guru could grant moksha. Similarly, a disciple's purity and surrender are tested, as gossip and negativity spoil devotion like lemon in milk. Meditation demands mastering the three states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. One must journey inward through the body's subtle centers, represented by letters and chakras. Surrender is key, as shown in the allegory of the bamboo willingly cut by God to become a flute and later a channel for the Ganga. The aim is to reach a state of silent, vibrationless awareness. "Mother, give me that liberation." She said, "I cannot give you that moksha which only the Gurudeva can give." "God, I love you, but I am so afraid." God said, "Don't worry, my dear, I love you, but I will chip your whole trunk." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Yoga is the creator of the entire universe, not merely physical postures. The goal is to become one with the cosmic Self. The soul cycles through 8.4 million life forms; a human birth is a rare chance for progress. Do not attach to worldly things. The soul is inherently pure but is burdened by personal karma. One word of truth from a great saint can offer ultimate protection. All spiritual practice, including the eight limbs of yoga, serves this liberation. "Yoga has created the whole universe. It has created, is creating, and will create." "The soul is the soul. Sūrya's light is Sūrya's light. Water is water, whether it is clean or dirty." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Yoga originates from the primordial resonance, not from recent history. The universe teems with countless creatures in water, earth, and sky. All creation emanates from Swayambhū Śiva, the self-existent principle born of the five elements. The first manifestation was sound, Nādarūpa Parabrahma, the resonant consciousness that permeates everything. From this resonance, the principles of sound, consciousness, and balance harmonize into yoga. This unity is ancient, predating any modern timeline. Śiva is the original Yogeśvara, who held the cosmic poison through prāṇāyāma, transforming it. True yoga is not mere physical exercise but the pursuit of cosmic consciousness through disciplines like Haṭha Yoga. A genuine yogī, as illustrated in the tale of the Haṭha Yogī, desires nothing, not even from Śiva. The practice is for all stages of life, aiming for inner oneness beyond worldly loss. "Yoga begins there. First is the resonance, and that is called yoga." "A genuine Haṭha Yogī is alien to Śiva. He desires nothing." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The essence of spiritual steadfastness is inner development, not titles or travel. Self-confidence is foundational; without it, motivation fails and the future dims. The science of yoga, given by Śiva, leads to higher consciousness. A realized sādhu, like a deep ocean or the sun, provides light while remaining steadfast. Spiritual titles exist for practical duties, like spreading teachings or gathering support, but the core is inner achievement. True mastery is measured by devotion and unity with the Guru's grace, not by intellect or organization. A master's quality is non-dual love for all disciples. External forms like ashrams are supports, but the seed is inner bhakti. Protect the dharma, yet do not cling to dress or form. The pure heart, filled with devotion, naturally overflows. "Water should stay in one place if it is very deep, like an ocean." "When in your heart that devotion, Guru Bhakti, is complete, it is pūrṇa. Then that Guru Kṛpā is raining, showering on us."

Closing words on the 16th day celebration of Matajis Mahasamadhi from Bhari Khatu, Rajasthan, India.

The path to the Supreme unfolds through discipline, devotion, and the dissolution of ego. Discipline governs even mundane acts, like keeping a spoon in hand while drinking tea. A devotee broke a leaf without permission and was questioned for not asking first. Service performed with reverence yields fruit, but awareness of small karmas is essential. Forgiveness must be absolute; a sage nearing death refused to leave the body until the knot with a man who had mocked him was untied. That man had compared the sage's beard to a donkey's tail, yet the sage sought him out to grant forgiveness. Karma is exact: both sin and virtue return to the doer at the appointed time. God gives freedom to act, but the results must be faced. Heaven offers only temporary enjoyment; the true goal is Brahmaloka, merging with the Supreme. Ego destroys even the learned; Ravana fell despite his knowledge. A naked yogi at a cremation ground refused any gift from Shiva, wanting nothing. That yogi's lack of desire showed that karma follows one's own will. The consequences of eating animals return in equal measure; each action binds the soul. Humans alone have the capacity to realize Brahman, unlike other births. Religious division arises from ego; all paths ultimately lead to the one center. A tree witnessed a sage's presence, confirming that even nature recognizes the divine. Thus, human birth is for becoming part of Brahman. “One who commits sin will receive its result, and one who does good will also receive that.” “My body is about to be released, but when such a knot of mine existed, I will not leave the body without untying it.” Filming location: Khatu, Rajasthan, India

The one infinite consciousness is the source and essence of all. Within the human body are countless individual life-forces, yet one supreme consciousness pervades them all. This awareness is unborn and without desire. The entire manifest universe arises from primordial sound, or nāda. From this sound emerges light, fire, air, water, and earth. The sacred syllable Om is this foundational vibration, present within all beings and even discovered within the sun. True yoga is the union with this infinite reality. The individual soul and the supreme soul are one. Forgetting this knowledge leads to suffering. The power of remembrance and spiritual awakening resides within, activated through practices like the conscious repetition of Om. "Inside the human body, there are countless jīvas... But among all these jīvas, there is one great jīva." "Everything arises from sound. So nāda is the very first... Om is what it is."

The pure remover of all sorrows is revealed through devoted discipline and love. A soul from Europe came to this place, learning language and custom, performing strict spiritual practice with great love. She served the temple before dawn with unwavering discipline. Her pure essence enters, yet within people there remains a perceived darkness. This place is a site of profound spiritual austerity, where few have served a guru with such devotion.

Yoga is an eternal light of consciousness within all. This knowledge was transmitted through a lineage from the Himalayas. The system called Yoga in Daily Life emphasizes simplicity for everyday application. It arrived in this region decades ago, beginning with seminars that expanded across cities. Centers now operate in several locations, integrating into community life through university courses, public programs, and humanitarian actions. The practice is dedicated to peace, marked by multi-religious prayers and the planting of trees as symbols. It is a system for all, aiming for holistic health accessible in any setting. "The light of yoga and Sanātana Dharma settled here thirty-five years ago, and since then, it has never ceased to shine." "Yoga is actually an evolution of our consciousness toward the light."

The nature of a great being's departure is not an absence but a merging into universal presence. Brahmalīna signifies the soul entering oneness with the highest consciousness. Such beings remain present on every level of vision for all. We receive more light through devotion, like sunlight entering an open window. Ordinary death brings grief from a sense of loss, but for those with true Self-knowledge, it is different. There is a transient ātmā jñāna, easily lost in conflict, and the final, stable knowledge at life's end. We cry from our own emotion, not because they are gone; the Brahman is always present. They move from being with us externally to residing within our heart and memory. This light of presence is global, like that of Jesus, sustained by devotion. God is one, manifesting differently; dualistic division causes suffering. We remember in our whole being. The body disappears, but we do not. "Brahmalīna: 'Brahma' means Brahman, the highest consciousness. It signifies that the ātmā, the soul, enters into oneness with the whole universe." "God is only one, but is manifesting differently in the whole." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The path to Brahmalīna unfolds through stages of mantra perfection. Brahmalīna means merging into the infinite, like a drop returning to the ocean. Purification of the soul is essential. The first stage is Likhit, writing the mantra. Second is Vākī, speaking it aloud. Third is Upāṃśu, where only the lips move. Fourth is Mānasik, mental repetition. Fifth is Ajapā, automatic constant japa, continuing even in sleep. The mind wanders; mantra steadies it. Yoga is eternal, before all religions. Sanātana dharma encompasses all existence. Ego destroys; humility preserves. A yogi taught a proud principal: a small fruit falling from a big tree shows divine design; a large fruit would have harmed. Science is limited; God’s knowledge is endless. One must practice yoga daily without competition. The Vedas once lived through hearing and memory, now diminished in this age. Stay in the boat of the guru’s instruction. “The mind does not die; everything else will die.” “Your research is only limited. But God’s research is endless.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Yoga is the science of humans and a natural way of life. Its first principle is vegetation, which is Āyurveda, an ancient medicine from the Yugas. Modern medicine, while life-saving, is chemical and not fully accepted by the natural body, unlike remedies from plants. Our way of eating has been lost, and white sugar is a major cause of disease. The tongue enslaves us to taste, leading to illness. Āyurveda encompasses diet and was once so advanced it included surgeries like those on the brain. Yoga is not acrobatics; it is a scientific system for a long, healthy life. Many practice it incorrectly, which can cause harm. True yoga involves physical exercise, breathing, concentration, and meditation. We are all God, and our actions determine our fate. The practice should be shared freely for community health.

Awareness is the light that dispels forgetfulness. Chetan is awakened awareness; achetan is sleeping forgetfulness. The awake one sees the snake and alerts the others. Prayer is a dialogue with the guru, not a diagnosis. Light is knowledge, and the guru reflects that light. Devotion means total surrender to the guru’s command. The guru’s protection follows the disciple everywhere. Life is fleeting; the soul departs like a falling star. The body is a puppet-case from which the soul flies. Year-end calls for examining mental impressions. Positive thinking and humility are essential. Anger and attachment discard good qualities. The divine light dwells within all beings. All faiths converge in one positive principle. In this Kali Yuga, confusion and suffering abound. Prepare the heart for the coming year with vigilance. Life concludes swiftly; settle your spiritual accounts. "Chetan kā chilka means light, a reflection; knowledge is that One." "We are having a dialogue with Guru Dev, not a diagnosis."

Reflect upon the year's passage and the divine balance within all things. Time moves swiftly for humanity, yet our essence remains. We experience thoughts, both positive and negative, which color our five layers of being. Humans possess a unique capacity for spiritual wisdom and bliss, accessing the endless. Consider how much true spiritual goodness—unity and bliss—you have lived through your body, mind, and energy this year. Consider how many you have helped. People dominate earthly activity, yet often lack contentment. Animals live with equanimity, but humans measure time in years and months. Today is this year's final full moon. Look at its light and spots; each sees according to how they have lived. The moon maintains a divine balance, waxing and waning in a fourteen-day cycle. This balance is essential, like a weight on an airplane or the harmony in a family. Our spiritual energy, like the hair tied together, must be gathered to retain harmony. The universe and everything within it, including our body and soul, is round like an egg. From the egg comes the feminine principle. We ourselves are divine, but we have lost connection to our inner light. We name God in many ways, yet God-consciousness resides within us, though we are not yet fully aware. Every month holds two divine festivals: the Full Moon and the New Moon. Our feelings for these ceremonies must be made sacred. Few in the world pray daily. Remember God: ask forgiveness for negatives and dedicate your good deeds to all. I wish for no negative vibrations to enter your mind or heart. This is spirituality. Many animals are slaughtered, which is negative. Many are becoming vegetarian. Every person who chooses this path saves lives. We must progress and plant seeds of goodness. "Every thought imparts a color to the body, to our energies, into our mind, our knowledge, and our bliss." "The moon maintains equality, the balance.

The search for one's spiritual origin is a fundamental journey. This quest leads through the scriptures and into the sacred geography of the Himalayas. The ancient place known as Alakapuri is described in texts like the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and the Mahā Śiva Purāṇa. It is associated with the Alakapuri Glacier and the Alaknandā River. Pilgrimage to this remote region reveals its profound energy. The path involves austerity, such as staying in high-altitude caves without fire. Disciplines like Prāṇāyāma prepare the seeker for the experience. The origin is not merely a location but a state of pure being accessible to the devoted heart. "In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, there are 18,000 verses written in this book. In this book, Alakhā Purī Jaya is also written." "Breathe in through the nose and breathe out through the mouth. Then the lungs contract. And so does the Prāṇāyāma." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany

Yoga is a complete knowledge for body and consciousness, originating from the primordial unity. The practice is for daily life, leading to health and bliss through the awakening of our inner energy systems. The origin is Śūnyatā, a state of nothingness, from which the one declared, "I am one and will multiply." This is the divine resonance, the primal sound that vibrates throughout the universe and within every cell. From this vibration emerged the five principles: endless space, consciousness, and the balancing forces of harmony and oneness. The human body mirrors this cosmic structure, containing energy centers, or cakras, and five sheaths, from the physical to the blissful. Regular practice harmonizes these layers, activating the inherent power and knowledge within. The Sanskrit language and its sounds are keys to this activation, influencing our entire being. True yoga is an internal process of unification, not merely external exercise. "Eko'ham bahusyāmi—I am one, and I will multiply." "God is this resonance. Not any bodies—that is only resonance."

Holy water is a gift of purification for all occasions, representing positive thought and clean energy. Physical and mental dust are constant, requiring regular cleansing like washing the hands. The body's skin is a sensitive, self-cleaning organ that must be cared for naturally. Avoid artificial products like commercial creams, lipsticks, and soaps containing alcohol, which dry and damage the skin. Use pure water, natural oils, butter, or earth instead. The physical body, the annamaya kośa, is sustained by vegetarian food and simple daily practices. Yoga āsanas and prāṇāyāma are essential for health, focusing on gentle movement over extreme postures. Strengthen bones with natural oils and ghee, not through meat consumption. Practice simple exercises regularly, even for seconds at a time, to maintain the body. True care comes from natural substances and consistent, moderate practice.

Fear is an illusion created and exploited by those claiming power over magic and ghosts. People are frightened by tales of black magic and spirits. Many claim they can remove such curses. If you believe in God, then trust that God provides only good. Yet, some seek power for money and influence, which only breeds more fear. Two stories illustrate this deception. In one, a magician exploits a grieving widow, claiming to send her possessions to her deceased husband in heaven. Her returning son exposes the fraud, showing the items were simply stolen. In another, a village fears a ghost in a house. The perceived specter is merely moonlight on a white chimney. Fear alone creates the terror, not any real entity. Your own faith and mantra are your protection. Fear is the only true enemy, weakening and harming you from within. "Jantar, mantra, jādu, ṭonā, sab kī sab bandhan kāṭo."

Control is the foundation of satsaṅg; through control comes oneness and peace. In satsaṅg, let the designated singer sing first; others wait and join later. This holding back builds power. Patañjali taught anuśāsanam, discipline of the indriyas. Without control, some move and disturb, preventing others’ enjoyment. A story illustrates: A camel and a fox were friends. The fox said he could not control screaming after eating. In a farm, he screamed, and farmers beat the camel. This repeated. Finally, crossing water, the camel said it could not control rolling and rolled, almost drowning the fox. The fox then understood control. Control requires mantra discipline. There are five stages: writing the mantra repeatedly, pronouncing it aloud, moving lips silently, mental repetition alone, and then the mantra vibrating in every cell. Hanumān’s every hair sounded ‘Rām Rām’. This is oneness. Do not change your mantra; persist. Through this, peace and bliss arise in satsaṅg. "Atha yogānuśāsanam. First is the control, anuśāsanam." "In each and every cell of Hanumān, the voice of Rāma vibrated." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The call to sannyāsa is a call to inner sādhanā. To take the dress is nothing; the color must be in the heart. The practice begins then, not a state of supremacy. Many think of a partner, but partnerships are like rentals, temporary. God is the eternal partner, giving eternity without payment. There is only one door to the eternal: divine practice. Some practice day and night, and their one day’s sādhanā can serve for a year. Inner sādhanā means not forgetting God in daily rush. Many unknown saints exist; they go unacknowledged. True quality is seen in a person’s practice, not in status. Sing bhajan and do karma yoga simultaneously, listening deeply. Mahāprabhujī’s Śoham mantra transforms the crow into a swan, purifying. Humanity has destroyed nature’s balance, causing disease and infertility. Saints protect humanity and life, not fighting over religion. Sannyāsa is hard work; monasteries demand constant effort, not just prayer. Married life is also difficult; rare couples persist. The path is like iron forged in fire: painful but makes a beautiful ornament; then the charaṇaraj becomes sacred. "Satguru Sat Saṅkhyārī Luvāvī, Satguru Sat Saṅkhyārī." "Kya tum jāno hāl hamārā? What do you know of my condition?" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Mantra practice unfolds through five distinct stages. The first stage is Likhita, the written mantra, which requires correct form to preserve meaning. The second is Vācika, the vocalized pronunciation of that written form. The third stage is Upāṁśika, where the mantra is articulated by the tongue without audible sound. The fourth is Mānasika, a mental repetition without any physical movement. The fifth and final stage is Ajapa, where the mantra resonates spontaneously throughout the entire being without any effort. This progression internalizes the sacred sound until it becomes one's inherent nature. The practice must be received from and dedicated to the master. Correct foundational practice prevents deviation, yet the guru-given mantra itself is paramount beyond form. The ultimate goal is for the mantra to permeate one's entire existence, leading to realization. "Likhita means writing." "Ajapa means that which is not japa, that which happens without japa."

The midnight child is born at the threshold of years, yet the teaching is to abide in the present step. Time is not fixed; each moment vanishes as it is named. Only the eternal Ātmā remains behind all change. A pilgrimage to a high Himalayan cave brought a stark lesson. Gazing down at the steep past causes dizziness and danger. Looking up at the unseen future grants no control. The inner voice said: go step by step, watching only the feet. This means live in the present moment with full soul, intellect, and heart. Do not cling to past lives or future illusions. The present is the sole place where karma can be reshaped. The bhajan instructs: O mind, walk slowly, slowly; the path is narrow and slippery. Awareness is more important than intellect; it oversees the mind. One word holds immense power—it can be nectar or poison. Past is gone; the future mirrors the quality of present attention. So take care of each step, each word, each moment. Blessings arise from every heart, beyond age or status. Enter the new year with awareness, dissolving past burdens through present action. "When you look back into your past, into your past lives, it will attract you. You will fall down." "Manva, dhīre dhīre chaal, gagan gagan." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A Christmas reflection on blessing, non-violence, and divine victory. Blessing is immortal, unchanged across all ages. We gather to contemplate divinity and the removal of negative karma. Many saints have appeared; today we remember Jesus. His birth brings a unity where no one is an enemy. Yet, even near him, negative forces arose—this is Āsurī Śakti, a black power that does not last. Divine glory and truth alone ultimately triumph. Reflect on the example set: to forgive, and to carry mercy. It is not good to kill animals on this day, for he was born among them and they were happy. To receive his blessing and Mary's mercy, give up violence and follow non-violence. Take a vow in his name to give up eating meat and using drugs, so life may become harmonious and one with God. "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." "Satyam eva jayate—truth alone triumphs." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The concept of a New Year reveals the eternal, unchanging Self. Calendars and dates are human constructs for worldly life. For the Ākāśa and the ātmā, there is no time or change. The Self is unmovable, unbreakable, everlasting, spotless, and without form. While various cultures celebrate different New Years, the true celebration is recognizing every day as new. The real New Year is one's spiritual birthday, acknowledging the Self that is never born and never dies. Destiny guides life and fulfills karmic desires; when a desire is fulfilled, interest naturally ceases. Attachment to duty and understanding dissolves worldly longings. One should not carry burdens into the next moment but see each day as a fresh beginning. "For the ātmā (the Self), there is no change. That is why it is called achalva, meaning unmovable." "Every day is a new birthday. Every day is a New Year. That is called the one without a second, beyond time and space."

Meditation with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are a lot of chemicals and wood in paper. We are causing pollution by using this paper in order to wrap presents. It’s important to learn and follow the ethical rules. Prayer has a strong power; the result of positive thinking will also be positive.

Guided self-inquiry meditation begins with relaxation and mantra resonance. Sit upright. Close the eyes. Feel the body relaxed. Chant Oṁ three times. The resonance moves from navel to throat to Sahasrāra. It reverberates through the head and every cell, then expands into space. Send positive, spiritual, harmonious vibrations with the Oṁ chantings. Relax each limb. Observe thoughts. Analyze their necessity now. Turn toward the Ātmā within. Feel the body from toes to crown and back. Analyze the five bodies: Annamaya Kośa, Prāṇamaya Kośa, Manomaya Kośa, Vijñānamaya Kośa, and Ānandamaya Kośa. Between these resides the Ātmā. Be aware of deep stillness. With breath, a light moves up and down from body to Sahasrāra as mantra. See the body from outside with closed eyes in the cidākāśa. Observe all five bodies one after another. From the heart, a flame emerges into a dark blue space. The mental body sees; the flame’s sound is So’ham. Hold the mantra to avoid getting lost. The light illuminates all space. All five bodies merge into the Ātmā’s light. The mantra is the only path to return and go further. The light returns to the heart as bliss, peace, harmony, fearlessness. Bow down, touch the forehead to the ground, feel circulation and chakras. Slowly come up and open the eyes. "Hold on to your mantra, otherwise you will get lost." "So’ham, the sound resonance, So’ham." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Mantra is the power of mind and speech, rooted in the word 'man' for mind. Fear is a dominant power residing permanently within us from childhood, extending to learning, work, and relationships. This fear can be invoked by a single word, a 'mantra' of threat. Speech holds immense power; a wife's words can keep a husband awake, just as a husband's words can affect his wife. There is a difference in the qualities of expression between men and women. The essence of true mantra is found in positive, respectful, and harmonious communication that carries spiritual power, like a sacred poem. A guru's grace is essential for real spiritual liberation, not self-proclaimed attainment. All beings, even divine figures, have a guide. Mantra can be used for good or ill, so we must choose words that bless and connect. "O Tulsīdās, don’t go in that house. Even if the diamonds are falling down in your house." "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Deva Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

Wellness is achieved through sattvic living and non-violence, beginning with non-violence towards oneself. Illness often stems from violating natural laws, particularly in diet. We must eat to live for perfect health, not live merely to eat. Ancient wisdom prescribes mantras to purify our atmosphere and bless our food, cultivating sattvic quality. Āyurveda and Yoga are the two wings for a healthy life, guided by three principles: sattvic (pure), rajasic (aggressive), and tamasic (dull). Tamasic quality includes laziness, old food, alcohol, and misused spices, which poison the body and breed disease. Sattvic food—like milk, nuts, and fresh vegetables—creates happiness and balance. True wellness extends beyond diet to include movement like gentle yoga, positive thinking, and a harmonious lifestyle. Excessive bodybuilding or advanced postures driven by ego becomes rajasic and harmful. We must remember our human purpose: to protect, love, and forgive. Our food directly shapes our body, mind, and health; therefore, we must choose fresh, organic nourishment. Ultimately, a life of non-violence, positive thought, and sattvic practice leads to health, happiness, and liberation. "Violence is against wellness, and wellness is not violence." "As is our food, so will be our body." Filming location: Czech Republic

The individual is the king of the kingdom constituted by the five sheaths: the physical, energetic, mental, wisdom, and bliss bodies. Within this kingdom exist the ten sense organs and countless beings like cells and habits. The king, the soul, must govern through discipline, not become enslaved by citizens like negative habits or uncontrolled senses. Negligence leads to the kingdom's illness and disintegration. Mastery requires balancing the body and mind through the vital energy, cultivated by pure living, mantra, and meditation. Discipline is the foundation of yoga. "Do not be the slave of your citizens. You have to equally control and take care of them." "Your habits, your qualities, these are the horses." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

Mantra is the thirst and desire of the mind. Our mind is never content; it craves endlessly for more—more money, more possessions. This thirst causes suffering and separation, as when a parent leaves a family. Mantra is this very energy of craving. To find peace, we must end desire. When the mind has no desires, it becomes content. A mantra received from a master is a sacred responsibility, like being given a child; it should not be given away lightly. True spiritual practice means surrendering negativity and cultivating devotion to all. The goal is to purify the mind so that positive, protective mantras can bring clarity and unity. Mantra is present in all states—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. It is the essence of our thoughts and the key to returning to a divine path. "Man means our mind. Tra has two meanings... a dream is when one is comforted." "Guruji said, there are only two words. Man and Tra. Man means mind, and Tra means poison. What was that? Desire."

The human journey is governed by the five sheaths and the balancing principles of sun and moon. A person should be like a tree, giving shade and fruit to all. The special feature is the living Master, present for everyone. Life involves 8.4 million creatures, with humans possessing higher intelligence for discerning good. The restless mind is governed by the moon's principle, connected to water and movement, while the stable sun resides within the heart. One must balance these energies, particularly through left nostril breathing. The soul descends through stages to eventually inhabit a human form. The purpose is to progress through the five sheaths: the physical body, the energy body, the mental sheath, the sheath of knowledge, and finally bliss. All problems originate in the uncontrolled mind. The primary duty is to care for the physical vessel so the soul may progress. Control the mind and all problems are resolved.
