World peace is in our hands. Our world is increasingly turbulent and ambiguous, requiring more than linear answers. We must create resilient societies focused on shared peace and well-being. A world without peace, equitable wealth distribution, and planetary care will not survive. Achieving these goals requires every individual to become a responsible, active global citizen. My country is designing a new societal vision with its citizens, integrating this into our strategic development. We are committed to being a responsible global actor by implementing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. This includes striving for poverty eradication, gender equality, human rights, and environmental protection at all levels. Peace requires good intentions, cooperation, and inner balance. The best way to achieve that inner coherence is through yoga. Ultimately, our collective action determines our future. "A world without peace will not survive. A world without distributing wealth will not survive." "I think we all know the answer: yoga is the answer." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The roots of Yoga in Daily Life are traced to the saint Ālakapurījī from the Satya Yuga. Evidence was found after long research, including the discovery of his Himalayan cave between Kedarnath and Badrinath. The river Alaknandā is named after him. When it meets the Bhagīrathī at Devaprayāg, they form the complete Gaṅgā. Compassion is the first step. When it awakens, your heart becomes like a mother's, feeling the suffering of all creatures. Every yogī is an incarnation. Through practice, awareness arises that every entity is my Ātmā. The individual soul suffers and changes, but the Ātmā is one, universal, and observing. God gave fear for survival. Non-violence means causing no trouble—physical, mental, or emotional—to others or to yourself through anger or hate. Violence returns as karma. Yoga brings peace by reducing greed, jealousy, and ego. It is for body, energy, mind, and liberation. The system has spread, promoting health and harmony, as seen in the peaceful separation of Czech and Slovak peoples. Knowledge, like a river, flows for all. "Viśva prāṇī merī ātmā hai—every entity is my Ātmā." "Ātmā soi Paramātmā; Ātmā is the Supreme, the Highest, God." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

Self-inquiry meditation is practiced by self-questioning. Sit comfortably straight, hands on thighs, eyes closed. Chant Oṁ three times to withdraw from the external. Feel and relax the whole body. Repeat your mantra with the mālā. Feel motionlessness, energy, comfort, and aliveness. Observe the breath naturally. Feel divine blessing, bliss, ask for nothing. Detachedly observe any visions. Guide prāṇa between navel and crown with the breath. Practice alternate nostril breathing, feeling the energy flow. Focus on the navel center with gentle inhalation. Inhale deeply, apply chin lock, retain, then exhale. Stretch, surrender, rise to Vajrāsana, stretch up, fold forward. Practice the second version of Kāṭha Praṇām. Do Kīṭa Āsana and seated forward bend. Stand, then sit down. "I know that I breathe. I know that I am breathing comfortably." "In this ocean of divine blessing and bliss, simply feel this divine blessing. Try not to wish for anything; do not ask for anything." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The moon's influence is significant until Guru Pūrṇimā, a time connected to Śiva's energy. The moon affects the earth and oceans, creating tides. Yet, greater than any planetary influence is the protection of the Guru's grace. This grace acts as an ultimate safeguard for the seeker. Belief in astrological fears creates psychological weakness. Liberation comes from one's own practice and devotion, not from external rituals or predictions. The physical body will age and perish, but through sincere sādhanā and Guru's blessing, one realizes the immortal self. "Even death, Kāla, will not face you. It will run away from you. That is the way you can trust and believe in the Gurudev." "Without your sādhanā, without your practice, you cannot be liberated." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The discipline of yoga begins now. The first instruction is to apply discipline immediately, not tomorrow. Success in any endeavor requires following rules and control. The body and mind must be trained through awareness of their systems and impurities. Laziness is the enemy. Physical and mental impurities, or vikāras, such as disease, anger, and ego, will destroy spiritual practice. The body is a divine creation that must be purified. Without controlling the mind's tendencies, one remains bound. Practice requires unwavering commitment without compromise. "Atha means just now, not tomorrow." "If you don’t follow the discipline, then you will not be successful."

Guru Purnima is the night that awakens the sleeping soul. The jīva carries saṁskāras from many births, experiencing pleasure and pain. All beings feel fear and seek shelter. The supreme consciousness is forgotten due to the veil of memory. The Ātmā is imperishable, cannot be cut or burned, yet hides as fear within. Attachment to the body prevents liberation. Pilgrimage is undertaken to erase misdeeds. Among tattvas, the Guru is the greatest. The Guru instills knowledge that opens the door to Moksha. Śiva alone is the true creator and uncreator. Heaven is temporary; only the dust of the Guru’s feet brings permanent freedom. Even animals sense the sacred; the elephant covers itself with mud awaiting a saint’s footsteps. On Guru Purnima, disciples worship and remember their Gurudev. Becoming Guru-mukhī washes sins, but sādhanā continues. Human birth, especially in India, is the opportunity for Ātmā Brahm Prakāś. The manmukhī remains in the cycle of 84 lakh yonis; the Guru-mukhī reaches Brahmaloka. A true Guru is one connected to the eternal tradition from the beginning. On this day, all yogis and sages emerge from Himalayan caves to honor their Guru. “Gu means darkness, and ru means light.” “Pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate, pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Yoga is a fundamental system of knowledge leading to self-realization and unity. It begins as physical practice but becomes a transformative way of life, offering inner peace and a comprehensive worldview. This practice increases self-awareness and fosters harmony with one's surroundings. It is celebrated as a daily affair that unites different paths into a beautiful whole. The practice provides insight into one's inner self and connection to the broader environment. Ultimately, it is an integral part of existence, like breath itself. "Yoga is a method for increasing awareness of this perceiving self." "Yoga is truly a daily affair... it is something like—if I were to compare it to my breath—we cannot live without it."

Understanding prāṇa is the path to health through yoga and Āyurveda. Prāṇa is vital energy with specific functions for each organ. The eye prāṇa resides in the eyelids, enabling blinking. Prāṇa and apāna govern intake and elimination respectively. Weak apāna causes constipation. Greed and anger block prāṇa flow, also causing constipation. A vegetarian diet with fifty percent salad supports elimination. Study these prāṇas to understand illness as prāṇa obstruction. Allopathic medicine often harms multiple organs while treating one. A story of a milker and observers illustrates escalating side effects. Systematic prāṇāyāma, āsanas, and meditation are necessary. Meditation controls brain reactions and stress. Natural herbs and gradual withdrawal from chemicals is safer. Avoid drinking water for two and a half hours after eating. Ask the body what it prefers, not just the tongue. Prāṇa is considered the personal God. Practical application determines true progress; all remain beginners without it. "Understand these prāṇas and what you can do for these prāṇas." "Prāṇāt means God. My prāṇa is my God." Filming location: Bratislava, Slovakia

Yoga is the essential practice for sustaining energy, health, and consciousness in human life. We are the protectors of creation and the solution to our problems. The human body is a divine creation from the five elements, containing life itself, which we must keep pure. We are destroying nature with pollution and chemicals, harming our food and water. We must return to organic food and natural living, as we are the solution to inspire this change. Purification of the body is achieved through practices like Śaṅkhaprakṣālana and, crucially, prāṇāyāma. Prāṇa is life energy; the whole body breathes. Systematic prāṇāyāma over months and years purifies the blood, tissues, and mind, leading to health and joy. Practice begins with feeling the prāṇa, then techniques like Chandra Bhedana, Surya Bhedana, Nāḍī Śodhana, and Anulom Vilom. This real yoga requires patience and inspires others. "You are the solution." "Prāṇa is life; where there is no prāṇa, there is no life." Filming location: Bratislava, Slovakia

A tree is blessed for peace and wishes on the International Day of Yoga. Yoga is for the environment, not just humans. This tree symbolizes peace, like the Vṛkṣāsana posture derived from trees. The ceremony involves circling the tree with positive wishes. Attendees are given instructions for photos and seating, with a focus on children. Sanskrit prayers are chanted for peace. A welcoming ceremony includes the singing of a Slovak folk song. The event involves distributing items, primarily to children, and concludes with a call for everyone to perform their ceremony. "Yoga is not only for humans but also for the environment, this tree will do its duty." "This tree stands here for peace, harmony, and love. Those who have a wish, come to this tree... and state your wish."

The International Day of Yoga celebrates a universal science for harmony. Yoga is the union of body and spirit, a path to health and awareness beyond any single religion. It awakens us to live in peace with nature and all living beings. The practice is for everyone, not only saints, to cultivate a healthy, happy life. Human beings must correct their inner nature to stop creating pollution and destruction. True spirituality is purity and love for all. "Yoga means union. Union of body and spirit. Yoga means balance. Yoga means harmony." "Life is the one. It does not matter if it is a human, an animal, or a tree. Life is life." Filming locations: Voderady, Trnava Region, Slovakia.

Yoga is an ancient science of body, mind, and consciousness, reflecting the five elements of creation. Humans, uniquely endowed with intellect, are solely responsible for the pollution damaging the earth, from plastics to contaminated water. Conferences on pollution or vegetarianism are hypocritical when attendees' actions contradict their words; change requires personal practice, not just speech. The growing health crisis, including disease, is linked to polluted resources and the consumption of meat from distressed animals. Yoga practice cultivates the awareness needed to heal both the self and the world. It is not a strenuous sport but a gentle, systematic science of mudrās and āsanas designed to awaken consciousness through daily, mindful practice. True health requires balancing physical and mental well-being, achieved through consistent effort over years, not months. Theory is worthless without practice. "Be the change you want to see." "Tons of theory are nothing compared to a gram of practice." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The roots of spirituality are found in following the eternal guidance. A spiritual atmosphere was once absent here, with only physical yoga practiced. People longed for more, as interest in these teachings existed in books. From that initial seed, a complete system for life grew, spreading widely. Many teach, but those who lose connection to the source offer a transient practice. The root sustains all branches; sever it and everything perishes. Adherence to the master's word, the Guruvākya, is essential. Neglecting these instructions leads one astray into cycles of suffering, while following them provides light and direction. The ultimate source of these roots is in the traditional lands. "Do not dig in the south. Otherwise, you will become that bull which goes round and round." "If you forget, you go on the wrong path."

A guided meditation on analyzing and releasing thoughts to achieve mental freedom. Settle into a comfortable posture, relaxing the entire body. Observe the natural breath, feeling the body's energy and motionlessness. Release all thoughts to relieve stress. Now, analyze your thoughts. From many thoughts, select one major thought. Investigate its cause, origin, and importance. Recognize that this analysis itself can create tension. Forgive the thought, forget it, and become free. You possess the power to give it up. All mental modifications are like waves on water; they will calm down. Relax physically and mentally. Do not return to thoughts that cause stress. Bring awareness to the center of the brows and look inwardly toward a beautiful future. The past is past; remain present. Purify your energy with each heartbeat, breath, and thought, moving toward light and clarity. Feel the shelter of the lineage. Conclude by feeling the breath, chanting, and gently returning awareness to the body. "Analyze your thoughts, and from many thoughts, pick up one major thought." "All the vṛttis, all the thoughts, just like the waves on the water. It will calm down." Filming location: Debrecen, Hungary

The blessing of Riddhi and Siddhi is bestowed through two trees. One tree grants peace, and the other grants the fulfillment of wishes. Performing parikramā around the tree of peace brings peace to the heart, family, and nature, which itself is the fulfillment of a wish for universal harmony. The tree of Siddhi represents prosperity. A blessing is offered for all to have peace, harmony, and a happy life. Participants are to offer a drop of water. "Touch this tree and walk around it, performing parikramā, you will attain peace in your heart, peace in your family, peace in nature, and peace everywhere." "Siddhi means prosperity."

Satsaṅg is rare and yoga is a profound science. Satsaṅg, the gathering with saints to hear of God, is exceptionally rare. It leads to peace, bliss, and Brahmaloka, not the limited heaven. Yoga is an ancient science for the body, mind, and soul. The human body contains the 52 Sanskrit alphabets as resonance in the petals of the cakras along the spine. Awakening this is a beautiful enlightenment, not a physical shaking. Our origin is in the perfect, unchanging technology of the divine seed, like a fruit tree reproducing its qualities. The original seed of yoga is Śiva. In highest consciousness, there is no gender; duality manifests in material form. Physical postures must be balanced and practiced daily, alongside prāṇāyāma, to cultivate health and awareness. Mental impurities, or vikāras, and restless thoughts (vṛttis) cause suffering and bind us in karma. These can only be cleansed through detachment (vairāgya), which is attained through satsaṅg. Practice brings harmony; a true master cares for the disciple's genuine progress. "Sant Samāgam Hari Kathā... these are rare." "Yoga is that science whose original seed... is Śiva."

Ayurveda is a comprehensive science of life, not a single topic. Its origin is mythological, said to come from the creator Brahmā through divine beings like Dhanvantari before passing to human sages. The knowledge was compiled into key texts like the Caraka Saṃhitā for medicine and Suśruta Saṃhitā for surgery. Much literature was later destroyed, but oral tradition in Sanskrit aided its restoration. The scope of Ayurveda is dual: to maintain the health of the healthy and to cure the sick. It aims for a flexible body, satisfied mind, and happy life until the end. "The extent of Ayurveda, or the part of Ayurveda, is to maintain the health of healthy people and to cure those who are afflicted with diseases." "Ayurveda is a science that deals with the useful and the harmful, the happy and unhappy life." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

A morning session integrates physical postures with breathwork to cultivate health and awareness. Begin by relaxing the entire body and synchronizing movement with breath. Specific exercises like leg cycling strengthen digestion and release tension. The focus then shifts to the core, engaging the navel center which is vital for overall health. After physical practice, seated prāṇāyāma begins. Breath control regulates life energy and addresses imbalances like headaches. Kapālbhāti prāṇāyāma emphasizes exhalation to oxygenate the brain and release tension. Correct technique is essential, with movement originating from the abdomen. The practice concludes with mindful awareness and chanting to integrate the experience. "This cycling exercise is the best for digestion. Also for stomach muscles; it removes the tension from the neck." "Prāṇāyāma supplies a lot of oxygen to the body, and especially to the brain." Filming location: Prachatice, Czech Republic

Yoga is a science for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, designed to create harmony with all life. Human consciousness must develop peace, moving beyond competitive pride and hidden ego. Animals sense human energy, which is often untrustworthy due to impure inner faculties of mind, intellect, consciousness, and pride. The practice aims to purify these. Heaven and hell are temporary realms based on one's actions, but the ultimate goal is merging with the limitless Brahman, the state of truth, consciousness, and bliss. Life is transient; the body is temporary, but the soul seeks eternal light. Spiritual practice is a step-by-step path connected by the thread of love and mantra. Do not break this connection through doubt or negative karma. Liberate yourself by loving all creatures and dedicating actions to the soul's journey. "Yoga is a science of the body, mind, and soul." "If we cannot make them feel comfort, health, and fearlessness, then there is no sense to human life." Filming location: Prachatice, Czech Republic

The practice of Aum chanting coordinates sound, breath, and awareness to purify energy and consciousness. The resonance ascends from the navel through three distinct levels. The first sound, 'A,' projects into space. The second, 'U,' returns to resonate within the body. The third, 'M,' transfers from the crown chakra to the heart center. This threefold vibration awakens every cell and removes tension. Concentrate on the navel, throat, and head as the sound ascends. The chanting supplies more oxygen to the brain, enhancing prāṇa and circulation. It develops concentration and induces a profound state of relaxation and well-being. "The seat of the sound is the navel. The ascending sound from the navel to the top of the head—the resonance—is divided into three parts." "While chanting OM, be aware of all three levels of the sound: Akāra, Ukāra, Makāra." Filming location: Prachatice, Czech Republic

A guided relaxation and anti-stress practice through physical movement and breath awareness. Relax the entire body from toes to head. Withdraw awareness from the external world. Coordinate body and breath with simple awareness, without concentration or imagination. Perform gentle movements to release tension: stretch limbs, rotate knees side to side, and twist the torso. These exercises release physical and mental tension, alleviate pain in the back, neck, and stomach, and improve digestion. The practice occupies the mind with the body, leaving other thoughts aside. It is a system that gives energy and removes stress. "Anti-stress exercises release physical and mental tension, develop concentration, and improve digestion." "Occupy your mind with your body. Leave all other thoughts out. It is just body and mind, to relax the body and relax the stress from the mind."

Children are the culture of tomorrow, and yoga is the education that creates perfect humans. Yoga guides children away from negative habits and toward a bright future through practice, song, and parental support. It leads to non-violence, peace, health, and happiness. True happiness is a free gift from God within us; unhappiness comes from the outer world. We must look within first, as our inner state projects outward. Respecting all creations and seeing one God in all names fosters a world without war. Prayer or mantra to any divine form brings help and dispels loneliness, for in meditation we are one with ourselves. Yoga is a practical science for body, mind, and soul; practice is essential over mere theory. Health comes from exercise and sāttvic nourishment, primarily vegetarianism. Killing animals transfers suffering and fear to consumers, affecting health. A vegetarian lifestyle promotes well-being, sharp memory, and freedom from disease. "God gave us happiness free of charge. No tax. No payment." "Tons of theory are nothing compared to one gram of practice." Filming location: Prachatice, Czech Republic

There are two paths: pātan (fall, distraction) and uṭhān (upliftment, development). Both paths sprout from one seed. That seed is saṅga, the company kept. Negative company leads to downfall; positive, spiritual company leads to development. Movement itself brings achievement, but the direction of movement is determined by association. The same source can manifest as divine energy or demonic energy, both dormant in consciousness. Culture and saṃskāras received on a parent’s lap guide this potential. Yet destiny, shaped by those associations and actions, ultimately determines the outcome. A story from scripture illustrates this. Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī tested a wealthy merchant’s devotion. Viṣṇu came as a sādhu seeking a fixed seat for four months. Lakṣmī came as a sādhu demanding the same room and throwing away everything after a single use. The merchant, choosing the allure of māyā over his given word, expelled Viṣṇu. Then Lakṣmī also left, revealing the merchant’s devotion was never to the divine but to worldly wealth. Thus, one’s company reveals one’s true devotion. The street of love is too narrow for two; duality must dissolve into oneness. Satsaṅg—true company—is the path to that unity. Neither happiness, heaven, nor Brahmaloka are difficult to attain, for everything is found in satsaṅg. “Prem Gali Ati Shankari, Jisme Do Nahi Samay. When I was here, God was not here. And now God is here, I am not here.” “Neither happiness, nor pleasure, nor heaven, nor Brahmaloka are difficult to attain — all is found in satsaṅg.” Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Āyurveda balances life; yoga reveals purpose. Karma, action through body, mind, speech, or wealth, binds everyone. Time, a human construct, waits for none, not even gods. The goal is to transcend time and space, realizing the oneness beyond individuality. The mind, a transmitter of impressions between conscious and subconscious, causes restlessness. Meditation balances body, mind, and intellect, curing stress and many diseases. Practice awareness of breath and body for a few minutes daily. "Karma will not let anyone free. It will come back to you, like a boomerang." "Meditation is the best way to bring your body, your mind, your intellect, your memory, everything into balance."

Health is the foundational wealth for happiness, achieved through the balance of yoga and Āyurveda. Health is the first wealth; without it, everything is nothing. Yoga and Āyurveda are two wings for balance: yoga harmonizes astral energy and emotions, while Āyurveda maintains physical health. The primary happiness is a healthy body. The second is having sufficient resources to feed one's family and guests, avoiding greed, which is insatiable like a beggar's bottomless pot made from the human mind. The third happiness is harmony and mutual understanding between husband and wife. The fourth is obedient children. The fifth is good neighbors and social harmony. Worry is a destructive termite that erodes health. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life, focusing on nourishment and natural remedies. Desires, especially of the tongue, are enemies to control. The soul is like a queen bee; when it departs, the bodily systems follow. Simple Āyurvedic techniques, like gentle touch or using a feather, can alleviate issues. Purification practices like Śaṅkhaprakṣālana should align with seasonal changes. True well-being comes from natural living, not excessive consumption or artificial means. "Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health." "The first wealth is good health." Filming location: Raumati Beach, New Zealand

The human condition is defined by a unique and pervasive fear, stemming from our intellect and desires, which separates us from other creatures and creates our suffering. We declare ourselves the best creatures, yet we are the most fearful. Animals live without our anxieties; they do not consult astrology or design their homes. We asked God why He made humans superior, and He replied He never did—He made humans as protectors, but we have become destroyers. Our limitless desires breed endless fear. A bird will sit on a tiger but flees from a human, sensing our negative energy. We even distrust each other, relying on documents over personal vows, as in modern marriages. This fear is a form of tapas, a burning austerity. The three fires of suffering are adhibhautika (from other beings), adhidaivika (from divine forces or past karma), and adhyātmika (from within oneself). Our sins—anger, greed, pride—fuel these fires. To end them, we must disconnect from worldly attachments and connect to the Supreme. Chanting the mantra cleanses these three tapas and sins, leading to permanent, unmovable happiness. We must practice non-violence, mercy, and introspection. Read sacred texts to awaken this understanding and transform life. "I never said this. I did not declare." "Todo and jodo. Break and join."

The question of how to live long is misplaced; we should ask if we have truly served the Earth, our Mother, who embodies the principle of sustainability. True sustainability is the self-regenerating system of the God-made world, not the limited, man-made concepts like the "green economy," which often destroys nature for profit. Our bodies, like the Earth designed by the cosmic engineer Viśvakarmā, are made from the five elements and require natural balance. Modern life, with its artificiality, chemicals, and disrespect for parents and nature, shortens life and destroys value. Do not seek merely a long life, which becomes a torture, but seek to serve and realize the divine. Live authentically, honor the natural beauty God created, and practice spiritual disciplines until the end. Our aim is to serve all creation and merge into divine light. "Mother Earth means life. Mother means life. This life of the mother principle is that continuity called sustainability."

True greatness is never self-proclaimed; it is recognized by others. A great person does not glorify themselves with titles. God does not demand to be called God. If someone declares their own greatness, it reveals their nature. A diamond does not announce its value; we perceive it. Simplicity in living reflects higher thought. Our subject is the depth of Yoga Nidrā. Common practice is relaxation, often leading to sleep. The higher yogic form is a profound meditation, awakening consciousness beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Sleep is vital, like gold, renewing the body's systems. Observe the transition from wakefulness into sleep; that border is a gateway. Insomnia should be met with activity, not passive struggle in bed, to avoid dependency. Dreams occur in the astral body. Sleeping with hands on the chest can hinder its separation, causing distressing dreams. The fourth state transcends past, present, and future. Complete your life's unfinished chapters through self-study. The past is gone; present actions shape the future. Clear your path through your own practice and seva; others can only suggest. Time and karma are relentless forces. Seek the shelter of the Guru's grace to rise above them. "Yogī jano kī yoga-nidrā, birlā-santa-jana-jānī-re." (The Yoga Nidrā of the yogis, only rare saints understand.) "Khetī prīti prathānā pūt tane khojār jo suk chahe prāṇī hatho hath śambhal."

Perfection requires practice, not just theory. There are two types of masters: one who speaks and one who acts through dedicated practice. True meditation is not merely closing one's eyes; it requires the focused commitment of lagan, akin to love that overcomes all distance. On the path, many obstacles arise, serving as the best school. Do not seek glory from the crowd; true friends are few. Dharma—our duty and discipline—protects those who protect it. It manifests in relationships: between parent and child, husband and wife. Protection is mutual; safeguarding others safeguards yourself. Dharma, patience, a true friend, and a faithful partner are revealed in terrible times when all others oppose you. Without these, meditation is impossible due to mental disturbances, the vikāras: greed, insatiable desire, fickleness, and thievery of mind, word, and deed, including intellectual property. Stealing a master's teachings without acknowledgment creates bad karma. All true masters are connected like branches of one tree. Honesty and mercy are the roots of dharma; pride is the root of sin. Purify these first; then meditation can come. "Tons of theory is nothing compared with a grain of practice." "If you protect the dharma, the dharma will protect you."

Mahātmā Gandhījī exemplified a life of truth, non-violence, and selfless service. He demonstrated that true knowledge brings equality and removes duality. His life was a practical lesson in renunciation, proving one must renounce to truly enjoy. He taught through personal example, as shown when he abstained from sweets himself before advising a child. His dedication to hard work was absolute, utilizing every moment for service. He moved the world through love and ahiṃsā, viewing all as family. This culture of universal kinship, addressing everyone as mother, sister, or son, fosters respect and non-violence. Such great personalities embody peace, hard work, love, and non-violence simultaneously. They show that real love and peace arise from within. We must strive to polish ourselves through daily awareness and discipline to embody these qualities. "Come after one month... because, at that time, since then, I was also eating too many sweets."

Yoga and Ayurveda are the two wings for the bird of life to fly. Yoga means union, the oneness of the individual self with the supreme. Vyoga means separation. Time is the greatest force; do not waste it. Our memory is being lost by relying on external records. True knowledge comes from a master who is both a knower of Brahman and a speaker of that truth. Theory is nothing compared to practice. We are like a drop; yoga is the process of that drop merging into the ocean, ending duality. Ayurveda is the knowledge of life. It can cure physical and mental disease. Mental disease is worry, which burns like a fire. The remedy is wise thinking and self-study. Unfinished chapters of our life must be completed to progress. "Yoga means union: the ātmā to Paramātmā, our individual self coming to God, becoming one with that." "Āyurveda: Āyur means life. Veda means knowledge. So what kind of knowledge you have about your life, and how long you will live?" Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Theoretical knowledge is secondary to direct meditative practice. Begin by establishing physical stillness and comfort, known as Kāya Sthairyam. This steadiness allows for deep relaxation and inward inquiry. The core practice is self-enquiry, contemplating fundamental questions of identity and origin. Through relaxation and focused awareness, one perceives the body's energy and the seven chakras, represented by colors. The aim is to witness the breath and inner phenomena, leading to a realization of oneness where the individual soul merges with the Supreme. This process cultivates freedom, happiness, light, peace, and ultimate unity. "Who am I? From where did I come?" "Meditation shall lead us to oneness, which means this individual soul, Jīvātmā, merges into Paramātmā, the Supreme."

Yoga and Āyurveda address disease, or vikāra, in the physical and mental realms. Physical vikāra arises from disregarding natural harmony in diet and living. Mental vikāra manifests as the six afflictions: desire, anger, attachment, greed, pride, and ego. These lead to cintā, or chronic worry, which consumes one from within like a termite hollowing a tree. The remedy is to renounce attachment to what is lost and to practice svādhyāya, the study of one's own unfulfilled chapters. Meditation relieves this tension by revealing the unreality of persistent worry. Deeper practice involves mastering the three states of consciousness—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—through Yoga Nidrā. This conscious sleep purifies the subconscious, resolves latent conflicts, and can recharge energy. Mastery leads to the fourth state, chaitanya, a wakeful consciousness that perceives past, present, and future. "Vikāra is something which is destroying itself, like when fruit is lying a long time and is rotten." "The root of righteousness is mercy." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Ayurveda and Yoga are ancient sciences of body, mind, and soul. The knowledge was transmitted verbally from master to disciple, known as Śruti, and through memory, called Smṛti. Human memory has declined due to reliance on writing and technology. Ancient research was more perfect, preserved in scriptures that cannot be changed. Ayurveda provides remedies from powerful herbs, where quality, not quantity, is key, and requires following strict dietary principles. Yoga begins with discipline practiced now, not tomorrow. The primary cause of all mental and physical disease is worry, called cintā. Citta is the fire of the funeral pyre. The solution is cintana and svādhyāya—reflective prayer and the study of sacred texts or oneself. Close your eyes, meditate, and practice mantra to overcome worry. Complete the chapters of your life. Do not procrastinate; begin your discipline now. Give up cintā, for what is lost is lost. "Cintā only is the one cause—the cintā." "The best way is cintana." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

A mudrā unites individual and supreme consciousness, while its three extended fingers symbolize the three guṇas to be transcended. Tamas guṇa is laziness and inertia, draining energy; it is countered by reducing diet. Rajas guṇa is restlessness and anger, generating heat. Sattva guṇa is balance and purity, yet one must ascend beyond all three. The true guru is not a physical body but the embodied knowledge and principle that leads from darkness to light. This guru-tattva is the supreme, blissful consciousness beyond all duality and change. The human body is a temporary vessel for this consciousness. Concepts like heaven and hell are psychological constructs for moral guidance, while innate fear is a divine gift for survival. All elements ultimately merge and recycle, yet the conscious essence persists. "Tamas guṇa means dizziness, laziness, slipperiness, and lack of interest." "Gu means darkness, and ru means light.

The heart is the seat of the self, where divine love resides. Within the heart's lotus is a tiny space containing a blue light; when its petals open, one sees the ātmā. The self is not found in the brain or other body parts but here. Happiness and bliss awaken from the anāhata cakra. Below the navel lies lust; above it is love. God is love, and love is God. Common expressions of love are often empty habits, while true fulfillment comes from the heart. This is pure love, as seen in a mother's care, which is eternal and not merely emotional. The heart feels pain when a beloved departs or an enemy approaches. Divine love, or prem, is the immortal nectar, the very essence of the ātmā. One must beg for this love to fill the empty bowl of the heart. Spiritual reality is within, not found through external search or science. "When the petals of the lotus of our heart open, those eyes can open and see the ātmā, the essence, the light of the self." "God is love, and love is God. It is in the heart, this area."

Self-inquiry meditation seeks the realization of the true Self, which is supreme and distinct from the bound individual soul. The soul is entangled in karma and cycles of rebirth, perpetually seeking liberation. This human form is a precious opportunity to purify karma and progress toward the supreme reality. The process involves peeling away layers of identification with the body, mind, and emotions to ask, "Who am I?" Liberation is found by realizing the oneness of the Self, where all duality ceases. A guide can show the path, but the journey of disciplined practice must be walked by oneself with patience and gratitude. "Who am I? I am not the body, I am not this jīvātmā, I am not intellect, I am not emotion, I am not the thoughts." "From where did I come? We are here in this world. We were born here or in some other country."

Yoga is a scientific system for balancing body, mind, and soul. Begin by relaxing the entire body from toes to head. Practice slow, conscious movements and breath to bring the nervous system into equilibrium. Muscle contraction and release must be done slowly; holding a contraction for about ten seconds strengthens the body, while rushing loses the effect. Observe imbalances, such as one hand rising higher than the other, and correct them through focused awareness. The aim is not gymnastic challenge but sustained, even harmony throughout the day. "Relax the whole body from the toes to the top of the head." "Yoga is not for that kind of gymnastic or challenge or something. It is to bring body, mind, and soul to one level, to oneness."

The aim of human life is to remember God, which is the essence of bhajan. Religion is a philosophy derived from divine incarnations, but the eternal essence is one dharma. The physical body is a temporary construct of five elements, a wondrous bungalow where God speaks. Consciousness pendles between three states: waking, dream, and deep sleep. In dream, your reality is created from past impressions and desires. The knower, the knowledge, and the object of knowledge are three. When these three become one, a higher consciousness dawns where past, present, and future are seen without attachment. Detachment is difficult, as seen in states like coma where the connection to worldly interest is severed. A specific mantra purifies the mind, the seat of fear and problems. Repeating it shifts awareness from pain to the divine, offering strength and purification for the inner faculties. It opens the eye of the heart, allowing the universal light to awaken within. This leads to fearlessness, cutting all worldly bonds and removing the threefold afflictions of physical, astral, and karmic troubles. Eternal peace is achieved as the individual self merges with the supreme. "O human, the aim of your life is to remember God." "Through this mantra, our inner purification takes place immediately."

Yoga is the science of body, mind, soul, and consciousness. Every creature seeks happiness, but only humans possess intellect and free will. Worldly happiness is temporary; only true knowledge, which is oneness with all, is permanent. Our actions determine our fruits, as good yields good and bad yields bad. Much of life is spent acquiring worldly knowledge, which vanishes at death. We need spiritual knowledge, which persists and guides favorable rebirths. Modern education often lacks ethical and spiritual teaching, which is foundational for social harmony and peace. Peace begins within the individual heart and awareness. Yoga is a practical way of life for health and balance. We have five senses of knowledge and five of action; these ten must be coordinated and controlled. Health is essential, and yoga requires daily discipline, as the body and life are our own responsibility. True help requires wisdom, and inner peace requires managing our thoughts and actions consciously. "All worldly happiness is only temporary. That is only knowledge—the knowledge which is happiness itself." "Peace begins from our own heart. Human consciousness, human awareness, human emotions—we have to awaken in our awareness that I am a human." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

Authentic symbols are essential for spiritual efficacy. Ancient scriptures prescribe exact measurements and placements for symbols in temples and sacred spaces. If these are incorrect, the practice is flawed, just as a physical imperfection creates difficulty. People seek these authentic places, for there the energy is correct and offerings are successful. Tradition preserves this precise knowledge. One must discern authentic symbols from mere ornamentation. The purpose is to create a perfect conduit for divine connection. "Break from all ignorance, all these worldly sufferings, and connect it with God." "In the entire universe, there is no power that can tie me, but only one: that is love."

Yoga and Ayurveda are sciences of body, mind, and soul. Ayurveda cares for the physical body through proper nutrition. Eating beyond need brings only disease. Junk food contains artificial spices that harm the stomach. Return to organic, natural food, even in small amounts. Eat and drink at fixed times. After eating, do not drink liquid for one and a half hours. Ayurveda has become a big business, losing its spiritual quality. A true Vaidya served selflessly, never asking for money. Yoga too has become commercial. A real master never demands payment from disciples; only blessings function through grace. Desires are the cause of all sorrows. The six enemies are desire, anger, intoxication, greed, ignorance, and pride. Anger steals every good quality at your door. Greed has no end. Attachment is ignorance that blinds you. Astrology cannot change your destiny; only the Guru’s grace can. Even great beings surrender to Guru Bhakti. “Anger is the thief who will take away everything from you at the door.” “Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam — only the Guru’s grace.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The principle of selfless service and reverence for all life is paramount. Depictions of spiritual figures should reflect joy and compassion, not perpetual suffering. All life, whether born from womb, egg, or sprouting from earth, is sacred and given by God. Destroying life opposes divine will. The current age promotes violence against life through disregard for creation and selfishness. True service, or Seva, is action without expectation of reward. It is a greater spiritual pursuit than even personal liberation. Selfless action upholds righteousness and is the foundation of a harmonious world. All incarnations arise to serve this principle. "God gives life, God sends life, and we destroy it. That is against God’s work, God’s will." "Seva is greater than Mokṣa. Therefore, Bhagavān Viṣṇu said, 'I give up my comfortable life... and I incarnate again on this earth to serve.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Dharma is the universal principle of rightness, distinct from modern religious constructs. Many great beings, including Jesus and ancient ṛṣis, have suffered for truth. Common yoga is a science for well-being, akin to a parent calming a child. A higher meditation exists for those spiritually educated with tolerance. Satsaṅg inspires and calms through knowledge and devotion, while kusaṅg includes sound pollution and addiction. Study the lives of all saints to understand their consciousness and sacrifice. Dharma must be upheld once promised, as seen in historical examples of unwavering commitment. Every being has a protective dharma, like a mother to her child. The Supreme watches all karma. Read wisely, filtering inspiration without becoming argumentative or changing views with every new author. The essence of all scripture is the law of cause and effect upon one's own self. Practice looking within to read the chapter of your own life. "If you give pleasure to others, you will receive pleasure. If you give trouble to others, you will receive trouble." "Read the chapter of your own life. How many chapters have you begun? How many remain empty or incomplete?" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Reflect on these days of crucifixion; many saints have been crucified and people still crucify themselves. An example is Dadhīci Ṛṣi, who consciously donated his bones, his spine becoming the weapon of Indra. Similarly, the Sufi saint Anā al-Ḥaqq proclaimed "Ana'l-Ḥaqq," meaning "I am the Brahman." He was tortured, crucified, his tongue cut, yet the sound "Ana'l-Ḥaqq" persisted. From his blood and ashes the sound continued until surrender, then it ceased. Humans clip their own wings, preventing spiritual flight. Before blaming anyone, look within; it is you who have cut the bird’s feathers. Women hold great compassion, motherly love, and hospitality. In ancient battles, a woman’s entry stopped fighting, showing deep respect. Men are protectors, yet both suffer when discipline is lost. The outer world holds māyā, an illusion like an unreachable horizon, and also the chance to help. The inner world contains desires and true reality, reached through knowledge. Spiritual attainment is like climbing a mountain; falling is swift. Daily discipline, the ointment of God’s name, opens the inner eyes of the heart. Avoid artificial coverings; true beauty emerges naturally with willpower. Look within thyself; karma and self-knowledge reveal the real. "It is you who have clipped the bird’s wings, so there are two things. Either they did not want to go further, or they could not go further." "That no one can give you. This you have to achieve through your knowledge, so look within thyself." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Today is Good Friday, a day to contemplate the crucifixion of Jesus and the eternal sacrifice of warriors for dharma. Asuric and divine forces are always in battle, and in every yuga, heroes offer their lives for all beings. In Svarga Loka, complete Kaya Kalpa happens instantly; here it is a child’s toy, known only through sadhana and Guru Bhakti. The Guru Vakya declares the Guru as Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshvara; those who criticize the Guru cannot reach heaven. Ayurveda originates in Svargaloka; real Chyawanprash requires gold ash and purified mercury, prepared with precise science. Imitation yoga breeds disease; the first principle is to follow, trust, and obey the master. Devas enjoy heavenly fruits of good karma, but after exhausting them, they are reborn and pray for human birth to seek moksha. Krishna says he comes in every yuga to re-establish dharma when adharma grows. An asura could only be killed by a weapon made from a living being’s spine given freely without pain; Dadhichi Rishi donated all his bones. Indra fashioned Vajra from them and slew the demon. Repeating God’s name creates a footpath where sin cannot grow; karma yoga with the name of God on the lips yields double benefit. Stealing the knowledge of saints without attribution brings heavy karmic debt and lower rebirth. The honest bhakta who acknowledges the source is guided to Brahmaloka. Jesus’s sacrifice mirrors this giving of life for dharma; all religions must hold dayā and mercy. Sanatana Dharma alone is eternal, and the blessings of Satya Yuga flow through awakened consciousness. "Gurur Brahma, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt, Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." “Whenever dharma is humiliated and adharma grows, I come to destroy adharma and re‑establish dharma.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The full moon influences all life and consciousness, symbolizing completeness. Its energy affects nature and human health, making fasting beneficial on this day. Fasting involves consuming only liquids, fruits, and vegetables, which can improve health and reduce blood pressure. What we eat is medicine, and cooking is a science for well-being. The story of Hanuman teaches that devotion must remain free from ego and doubt. Even great devotees can falter, but true devotion holds God within the heart, beyond all confusion. "Pūrṇamadaḥ, pūrṇamidaṃ, pūrṇāt, pūrṇamudacyate... that Pūrṇa is also our self." "When we lose our confidence—though we had confidence—but sometimes a certain constellation comes, and we are suddenly separated." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Yoga Nidrā is a state of conscious rest distinct from ordinary sleep. A story illustrates this. Sādhus once criticized a master for apparent daytime sleep. The master explained he was practicing yoga nidrā, a conscious sleep where one remains inwardly awake. In this state, awareness is fully alert while the body rests deeply, rejuvenating more than ordinary sleep. It is a practice for rare yogis. The practitioner's awareness turns inward, ascending beyond the physical. Chakras open like blossoms in this state. One perceives past, present, and future, connected to pure consciousness without physical base. The experience is of limitless light and bliss within the astral space. The mantra guides and sustains this awareness. True understanding of this technique comes only through the guru's guidance. "Listen, sādhus, I was not sleeping, I was in Yoga Nidrā." "In that sleep of yoga nidrā, you are completely awakened." Filming location: Cherkassy, Ukraine

The soul of meditation is the Guru Mantra, the essential seed given by the guru. Without the guru's mantra, meditation is lifeless. The mind, restless and hungry, finds calm through this mantra. The real mantra is the Guru Mantra, received with the guru's blessing, not self-chosen. One must be Guru Mukhi, oriented toward the guru, not Man Mukhi, following one's own mind. The guru is a principle that removes ignorance's darkness. This guru-tattva is the light, manifest like electricity in a bulb. The guru embodies the divine functions: as Brahmā, he creates knowledge in the disciple; as Viṣṇu, he protects; as Maheśvara (Śiva), he liberates. The disciple is drawn to this light. Perfecting the mantra involves stages: writing it (likhita), chanting it (vekrī), inner chanting without sound (upāṁśu), mental repetition (mānasika), and finally spontaneous, effortless repetition (ajapa). One makes a commitment (saṅkalpa) for daily practice, offering the results to the guru. This spiritual practice must be protected from negative influences, for its merit is permanent. "Without a Guru Mantra, meditation is like a statue without life in it." "Gu means darkness, and ru means light. He is the one who removes the darkness of ignorance and leads us to the light."
