The highest form of God is sound, the vibration. Everything in creation is a vibration, a frequency. The entire universe is a manifestation of this primordial sound. This sound is not heard with the physical ears but perceived in deep silence and meditation. It is the source from which all forms and names emerge. To connect with this sound is to connect with the divine essence itself. The practice of listening to this inner sound leads to profound stillness and realization. It is the direct experience of truth beyond all concepts and scriptures. "The highest form of God is the sound, the vibration." "To connect with this sound is to connect with the divine essence itself."

Interview with Vishwaguruji on Lok Sabha

Yoga is the highest system of thought for human evolution, uniting body, mind, and spirit. It is a global people's movement, not confined to physical exercise. International Yoga Day on June 21, established through a UN resolution proposed by India's Prime Minister, is celebrated worldwide. The practice aims for health, peace, and harmony by connecting the individual with the self, society, and nature. Its core principles include discipline, non-greed, and selfless service. Authentic teaching requires proper training over years, not quick certifications. While health attracts many, the complete science refines lifestyle and limits consumption for environmental well-being. Yoga is one, though various interpretations exist. Its essence cannot be diluted, and it should not be commercialized. "Yoga is the science of human origin and evolution to a point where you can overcome the boundaries of space and time." "Yoga leads humans to become good persons, makes a good family, a good society, and a better way of living, and to bring the world peace, harmony, and unity." Filming location: India

Our source is Alakhpuriji

Mastery requires disciplined training, perfection, and practice before one can teach. Everything, from engineering to medicine, follows this sequence. In yoga, mere physical postures are insufficient; one must master the inner world—desires, likes, and dislikes—across the five kośas: the bodies of nourishment, energy, mind, knowledge, and bliss. This inner engineering demands a guide. Without a master, perfection is impossible, as the ten senses—like wild horses—require the mind and intellect to control them. True yoga leads to self-realization through dedicated practice and lineage guidance, not commercial pursuit. Advanced practice may involve secluded, arduous journeys to sacred places like the Himalayas, where natural barriers and specific herbs aid deep meditation. Ultimately, all sincere paths converge. "After training comes perfection. After perfection, you practice. Then you can teach others." "Koti upāya kare koī chāhe—you can try thousands of techniques. Na bhavasindhu tere—but you cannot cross that ocean by the strength of your arms." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Kriya for opening to knowledge

The Kriyā of Sweet Speech engages the three sound centers—Parā, Paśyantī, Vaikharī—to cultivate honey-like words. Form a mudrā resembling abhiṣeka on the śivaliṅga, fingers held straight. Concentration on this mudrā brings calmness and an energy flow through the body. Place two fingers on the indicated cakra where nectar spreads into the body. Chant Om, Jīvāmi Madhumātmā, feeling that cakra. The phrase Jivhā me madhumattamā means the tongue should hold honey, so all speech emerges humble, kind, and sweet. Remain with fingers on that cakra, sitting straight. This practice connects to social education taught by mother and father and the seed of Sarasvatī. On the Kaṇṭha Kamala, the throat lotus, divine and kind words are produced. Parā is the pressure center, seed of sound; Paśyantī is on the vocal cord where sound becomes manifest; Vaikharī is on the tongue tip formulating sound. These three centers make a fine person of good speech. Bring the resonance to these centers with hands placed on the lap, one over the other. Uḍḍīyāna Prāṇa flows upside down, forming a circle, supported by a Śiva Mudrā containing three Nāgas. Touch the Paśyantī center with thumbs and middle fingers while chanting Ham So or Om Haṁ So. This kriyā removes anxiety, solves sleeping problems, brings calmness, and opens knowledge, Sarasvatī. Repeat the mantra with mālā, keep the body motionless, upright, and feel relaxation. Fold hands towards the chest, chant asato mā, then place the forehead to the ground, enhancing blood circulation to the head and energizing the five jñānendriyas. "Jivhā me madhumattamā—it means that on my tongue there should be honey—that whatever we speak, the sound from our tongue should always emerge as humble, kind, and sweet words." "Parā, Paśyantī, and Vaikharī are the three levels of the seat of sound." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Mastering the subtle energies

Yoga is a practical path, not a theory. Survival in this age requires practice, not just philosophy. The current era is governed by material illusion, where excessive pursuit of wealth distracts from true purpose. True richness is devotion, which accompanies the soul eternally. Modern yoga often becomes mere physical exercise, missing its core aim of unifying the individual soul with the divine. Practice must be a systematic science, beginning with the body and advancing like an engineering discipline. Mastery then extends to emotions and thoughts through detachment and renunciation. This inner engineering leads to harmony and ultimate self-knowledge. "The richest one is that one who has nothing but has bhakti—guru bhakti, devotion towards God." "Yoga in daily life is a science of body, mind, and consciousness. Harmony of the body, mind, and soul to come finally to the highest destination." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Shiv Mahapuran: Shiva Yoga

Meditation is the supreme path to liberation. The Śiva Purāṇa’s Bāyabī Saṁhitā teaches conquering death through yoga. One can avoid death or invite it consciously via samādhi. Practice in a peaceful place, free from dangerous animals and fire, when body and mind are balanced. Postures prepare for meditation. Meditation exceeds all pilgrimages, yajñas, and donations. Focus awareness at the nose tip or Mūlādhāra Chakra, remembering Śiva. This Jñāna Yoga removes sickness and brings lasting peace. A yogī gains powers but must not display them for ego or gain. Misuse destroys power instantly. With intention, anyone can begin now; there is no tomorrow. Constant remembrance of impermanence frees from attachment. Be like a river flowing to the ocean of Śiva. A meditator who dies in samādhi needs no rituals. The body may be cast anywhere; the soul reaches Śivaloka. Tolerate life’s hammer like the stone that becomes a statue. Śiva sits in meditation, teaching by example. The ultimate goal is merging with Brahman, like a drop in the ocean. “Nāsti dhyānasamaṃ tīrthaṃ, nāsti dhyānasamaṃ tapaḥ | Nāsti dhyānasamo yajño, dhyānaṃ samācaret ||” “If you use yogic power for study, prestige, wealth, or to show off, then it gets destroyed—instantly.” Filming location: Ujjain, India

Shiv Mahapuran: The way a Yogi can defeat death

The Śiva Purāṇa reveals how a yogī conquers death through inner sound and yogic practices. Mahādeva tells Pārvatī that death is all-powerful, but a yogī can defeat it. Signs of approaching death include vultures following or a blue fly circling. To conquer death, find a peaceful place, sit comfortably, and turn off the light. Press both ears with index fingers for two ghaḍīs, about 44 minutes. Outer sound blocked, an inner sound arises—Śabda Brahma. Listening to this sound gradually increases lifespan and dispels negativity. Nine inner sounds manifest: starting with a roaring, then metallic sounds, bells, flute, conch, and cloud. A yogī who hears all nine attains Nādasiddhi and victory over death. Another method: sit straight, chant Gāyatrī thrice, hold the breath. Visualize Śiva and Pārvatī in the nostrils or Mūlādhāra while holding. Drink a drop of water from kuśa grass; this lengthens life and brings radiance. A third practice: press the eyes with fingers for half a muhūrta. Colors appear; focusing on them defeats sickness and death. The fourth way: roll the tongue back to touch the soft palate. A drop of nectar descends; drinking it bestows long life and liberation. Regular practice morning and evening can yield a life beyond a hundred years. "Death is the most powerful thing. Even the sky can be destroyed, but a yogī can defeat death." "He hears a voice inside that is called Śabda Brahma. If someone sits listening to Śabda Brahma, then his age increases gradually, and he gains power from all this world." Filming location: Ujjain, India

Shiv Mahapuran: Shukracharya

When Śukrācārya entered Śiva's stomach, he struggled helplessly and resorted to chanting the Mṛta Sañjīvanī Vidyā to win Śiva's favour. Andhakāsura, after a five-hundred-year battle, surrendered, praised Śiva's compassion, and undertook fierce penance. His body withered to skin and bone, yet Śiva, pleased, transformed him into Andhakadeva, the Gaṇādhipati. Śukrācārya, inside the digestive fire, chanted the sacred mantra without a rosary, only with his breath. Śiva blessed him and he emerged through the śukra, hence his name. One must practice and detach, for mistakes teach success. Chanting purifies even the ears and prevents wrongdoing. Death is certain, sending warnings like failing teeth or senses, yet people ignore these letters. Pārvatī asked Śiva for signs of impending death. A yellow, white, or red body indicates six months; continuous left-hand twitching means one month; dry mouth and crown indicate one month; seeing the sun or moon red means fifteen days; vultures gathering signify six months. Such knowledge spurs preparation. Chanting with every breath is a lifesaving devotion. Śiva's revealed signs are flawless truth. No one need fear if they connect to the divine. The teachings remain confidential nectar for the sincere listener. "Death replied, 'You are a white lie, and I am the bitter truth.'" "If you devote one hour in the morning and evening, perhaps you gain nothing material, but at least you are saving yourself from doing wrong." Filming location: Ujjain, India

Shiv Mahapuran: Tulsi and Shankachuda

The demon Śaṅkhacūḍa’s invincibility stems from his wife Tulasī’s pativratā dharma. Nārada asks Brahmā why Viṣṇu went to Tulasī’s house, unveiling the origin of Śāligrām and tulasī’s sacredness. Śaṅkhacūḍa, a Dānava born to Dhūmra through penance, gained Brahmā’s boon of being undefeated by gods. He married Tulasī, a yoginī devoted solely to purity. Their union amplified his power, and he tormented the gods. Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva conferred. Śiva fought Śaṅkhacūḍa for ages but could not defeat him due to two protections: a Kṛṣṇa-given armour and Tulasī’s unbroken marital fidelity. Viṣṇu devised a plan. Disguised as a beggar, he tricked Śaṅkhacūḍa into surrendering the armour. Then, assuming Śaṅkhacūḍa’s form, Viṣṇu deceived Tulasī. Realizing the betrayal, Tulasī cursed Viṣṇu to become stone. Śiva intervened, consoling her that her mind remained pure. She shed her body, becoming the Gaṇḍakī River, while Viṣṇu, by her curse, became Śāligrām stone. Tulasī merged into Vaikuṇṭha and is ever worshipped with Viṣṇu. Śaṅkhacūḍa, weakened, was slain by Śiva’s trident and returned to Kṛṣṇa. The pativratā dharma of a wife grants immense strength; breaching it dismantles that power. “Viṣṇu Bhagavān Śāligrām Ho Kar Rahe. Isliye Śāligrām Ko Viṣṇu Bhagavān Ke Pratīk Manā Jātā Hai.” “Śāligrām ke andar me cakra Sudarśana cakra dikhāī detā hai, Viṣṇu kā. Gaṇḍakī me jāke snāna karegā, āśirvād milegā aur sārā pāp chhuṭ jāyegā.” Filming location: Ujjain, India

Shiv Mahapuran: Success and the power of prayer

The destruction of the three cities by Śiva establishes dharma. Three demons obtained a boon from Brahmā that their cities of gold, silver, and iron would align only once under Abhijit Nakṣatra, and then a single arrow could kill them. They worshipped Śiva dutifully until their demonic nature resurfaced, tormenting gods and humans. Viṣṇu entered Tripura as a deluding teacher, turning their minds from Śiva and corrupting their dharma. All gods and goddesses, with Gaṇeśa’s blessings, fashioned a divine chariot for Mahādeva from sun, moon, constellations, mountains, and Nāgas. Because some dharma still persisted, Śiva instructed the gods to become animals, and he became Paśupati. With the Pāśupatāstra arrow, Agni at its tip, he released it exactly when Abhijit Nakṣatra arrived. The single arrow pierced all three aligned cities, destroying the demons. Thus demonic forces were eliminated, divine order restored, and Mahādeva returned to Kailāsa. "Brahmā simply grants what is asked. If a devotee goes astray after receiving a boon, the Lord does not abandon him." "There is no sin greater than betraying a friend. The scriptures prescribe atonement for killing a brāhmaṇa, a cow, or for breaking a vow, but there is no atonement for betraying a friend." Filming location: Ujjain, India

Shiv Mahapuran: Qualities of Ganesh Bhagawan

The beginning energy is Gaṇeśa, worshipped before all undertakings. Before creation, Brahmā meditated on Gaṇeśa. First impressions are best; a pure start yields good outcomes. In the marriage contest, Śiva and Pārvatī declared that the first to circle the earth would marry first. Gaṇeśa, with large belly and small mount, circumambulated his parents seven times, calling them the supreme pilgrimage. The Vedas teach: mother and father are the greatest. Śiva accepted his wisdom, and Gaṇeśa married Ṛddhi and Siddhi, who bring prosperity and perfection. To worship Gaṇeśa is to invite auspiciousness at the start. He won the amṛta modaka by the same insight—no tīrtha exceeds parents. His one tusk came from honoring Śiva’s vajra in battle with Paraśurāma; it signals non-duality. His mouse vehicle steadies the restless mind and cuts the bonds of rebirth. His red sindūr marks victory over the demon Sindhurasura. Conquer the mind through meditation; begin with parental blessings. Wherever you are, the source is the motherland. Offer food to the hungry before preaching. The first step is half the journey; Gaṇeśa grants completion. His four fruits are dharma, artha, kāma, mokṣa. Victory is of the mind. "Mātṛ Devo Bhava, Pitṛ Devo Bhava, Ācārya Devo Bhava."

Shiv Mahapuran: Ganesh

The origin and spiritual significance of Lord Gaṇeśa is examined. Pārvatī created Gaṇeśa from the dust of her body to guard her door while bathing. She ordered him to block all without her permission. When Śiva arrived, Gaṇeśa refused entry, and after a fight, Śiva severed his head. Pārvatī grieved, and the gods pleaded to restore her son. Śiva directed a search northward, where an elephant’s head was found and affixed to the body. Gaṇeśa thus became lord of the gaṇas, blessed to be worshipped first in all rituals. The elephant head symbolizes wisdom and the shift from ignorance to knowledge. The rat vehicle represents the restless mind that Gaṇeśa controls. Worship can be offered with five, ten, or sixteen items, or purely mentally. Key offerings include water, dūrvā grass, kuśa grass, and pañcāmṛta. Dūrvā has medicinal worth and pleased Gaṇeśa in the Kubera story. Kuśa grass insulates during meditation and purifies the space. Intention outweighs outward ritual. Donation removes negative karma and fosters giving. “The one who controls the fickle mind is Gaṇeśa, whose vehicle is the mouse.” “God always sees intention, not merely what you do or say.” Filming location: Ujjain, India

Shiv Mahapuran: Kartikeya

The triumph of dharma and the oneness of divinity are revealed through the story of Kārtikeya and the Tripura. Kārtikeya, son of Śiva, was born to slay Tārakāsura, who had a boon making him vulnerable only to Śiva’s son. The demon terrorized the worlds, destroying yajñas and sacred places. Kārtikeya grew in power and challenged Tārakāsura, but in prolonged battle his strength faltered. He meditated on Śiva and received the Brahmāstra. With that weapon, he killed the demon, proving that victory is assured for those who uphold dharma. All gods—Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva—are one supreme reality, and those who differentiate fall into delusion. Tārakāsura’s three sons later performed penance and obtained from Brahmā three cities of gold, silver, and iron, invisible except for a single moment every thousand years when they could be destroyed. These Tripura symbolize worldly attachments that lead to death. Detachment and surrender to God bring liberation. Pārvatī’s mother taught her pati dharma, but scriptures also command husbands to be faithful. Collective prayer in satsaṅga unites minds, accelerating spiritual progress. Remembering God and cutting inner bonds defeats the demons within. "Janma sahī kyā hai ki mṛtyu sāth sāth meṁ ātā hai." "Tridhā binduḥ hyam Viṣṇuḥ Brahmā Viṣṇu Bhava Vyayaḥ."

Shiv Mahapuran: The story of Kama Dev

In this world there are three types of persons: the jñānī who knows he knows nothing, the boastful who claims all knowledge, and the suṣupta unaware of his ignorance. Śiva teaches that knowledge is never enough; even deities meditate for deeper understanding. The story of Kāmadeva illustrates this. When Śiva retreated into meditation, creation became imbalanced and the demon Tārakāsura received a boon that only Śiva’s son could kill him. So Brahmā and Viṣṇu ordered Kāmadeva to shoot desire-arrows at Śiva. Śiva awoke, opened his third eye, and burned Kāmadeva to ashes. Rati wept. Śiva declared Kāmadeva would remain invisible until Dvāpar Yuga, then be reborn as Pradyumna, and until then reside in every being’s mind. The fire of Śiva’s anger spread; Brahmā appealed to the ocean to quench it. This teaches that water—kindness and emotion—can extinguish anger. Indeed, observing anger without suppression transforms it. When Pāṇini meditated for knowledge, Śiva played the ḍamaru fourteen times, producing the Māheśvara Sūtras that became the basis of Sanskrit grammar. The essence of all eighteen Purāṇas is that helping others is virtue, causing pain is sin. Śiva has no caste or lineage; divisions arise from karma, not birth. True devotees see equality; difference is demonic. The body is earth, water, bone; meditation awakens the Śiva-tattva, burning desire. Ultimately, one needs only mind and body for devotion; when the disciple is ready, the guru appears. “Life is for learning. Even Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān, Viṣṇu Bhagavān, and Śiva themselves sit in meditation to gain deeper knowledge.” “If you hurt anyone, that is sin; if you help, that is dharma.” Filming location: Ujjain, India

Shiv Mahapuran: The marriage of Shiva and Parvati

The divine union of Śiva and Pārvatī reveals how devotion, proper timing, and karma shape existence. After Satī’s self-immolation, Śiva retreats to Kailāśa; Satī is reborn as Pārvatī, daughter of Himālaya, from the mountain king’s penance. From birth, Pārvatī crafts Śivaliṅgas and chants Śiva’s name, driven by past-life saṁskāras. She rejects all suitors, declaring Śiva her sole goal, unmoved by insults to His appearance. Śiva tests her by appearing as Viṣṇu and belittling Himself; she prepares to curse the disguised form, forcing Him to reveal Himself and grant her marriage boon. Devas select an auspicious muhūrta through the Pañcāṅga—tithi, vāra, yoga, nakṣatra, karaṇa—to align cosmic energies, as even Rāma and Sītā’s marriage timing was divinely altered for a larger purpose. After marriage, Śiva leads her to a humble hut; she remains content without complaint, whereupon He reveals Kailāśa’s splendor. Unconditional love and low expectations prevent suffering. Time’s value is immense: a student waiting a year to retake an exam grasps its depth, and a single second can separate safety from calamity. Karma binds all; even the Lord experiences its effects—Rāma suffers separation due to Nārada’s curse, and Kṛṣṇa accepts an arrow as repayment. Before any action, examine its dharma; adharma brings future sorrow. Proximity to Śiva grants protection, as a cobra on His neck faces no danger from Garuḍa. Even demons like Rāvaṇa, originally Śivagaṇas, attain liberation through surrender to Rāma, fulfilling Viṣṇu’s promise. Rāvaṇa’s dying counsel: never quarrel with guru, cook, brother, or woman, and sit humbly to learn. Kṛṣṇa’s final teaching: release regret for the past and worry for the future; abide in the present. "yatra nāryastu pūjyante, ramante tatra devatā." "Don’t say sorry for what happened in the past. Don’t worry about what will happen in the future." Filming location: Ujjain, India

Shiv Mahapuran: Without meditation there is no power

The Śiva Purāṇa teaches right use of power, desire, and beauty through discipline and meditation. Brahmā created Kāmadeva to spread attraction across creation. Kāmadeva was told to meditate on Śiva to control power, for without meditation power is misused. Kāmadeva married Rati, binding desire within rules for creation. Brahmā also created Sandhyā, a woman of great beauty. She rejected marriage and sought only worship. Brahmā sent her to meditate on Śiva. She gave up attachment to the body, sacrificed herself in sacred fire, and was reborn invisible, marrying Vasiṣṭha. Beauty is for God and spouse, not for the world. The Sandhyā times—dawn, noon, dusk—are for meditation, not for desire or sleep. Practice brings wisdom; mere knowledge is not enough. Power must serve dharma. Persist in devotion with patience; liberation comes. Chanting Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya connects the mind to the divine. True beauty is inner devotion. “Meditation is a panacea for every desire, every sickness, every difficulty.” “Power should be used only for the protection of dharma; otherwise consequences will be bitter.” Filming location: Ujjain, India

Shiv Mahapuran: How we can benefit from mantras

The Śiva Purāṇa reveals that purity of thought leads to divine grace and liberation. Chanting the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya mantra with one lakh repetitions fulfills desires. Two lakhs grant past-life knowledge; three lakhs bring any wish; four lakhs confer vision of Śiva; five lakhs make Śiva directly appear. Even an unintentional offering of light in a temple pleases Śiva and transforms destiny. A sinner who lit a lamp was saved from death, later became a king, established Śiva worship, and eventually attained the Lord’s realm. Another devotee meditated until only skin and bone remained, never breaking focus. When Śiva appeared, the devotee asked only for eyes to see the divine form and was blessed as the deity of wealth and Śiva’s friend. When Śiva and Pārvatī walked among people, every action drew gossip, teaching that the world always criticizes. The seeker must remain unwavering. A story of two dogs shows that the one who stops to fight distractions perishes, while the one who keeps moving reaches the destination. Gaṇeśa humbled a wealthy host’s pride by consuming everything until a simple offering of rice with humility sufficed. True devotion means thanking the Divine rather than endlessly begging. Fear is illusory; Śiva, dwelling in the cremation ground, is the remover of fear. The Kumbha Melā’s celestial alignment infuses waters with healing energy. Śiva’s garland of skulls symbolizes each birth; only Śiva is eternal. The path is faith: ignore criticism, practice continuously, and success is assured. "Śiva said: if you always practice and practice and practice, you will achieve success." "Fear is false evidence appearing as real. It is not real, but the false evidence appears as real; thus fear is just an illusion." Filming location: Ujjain, India

Shiv Mahapuran: Make time for your meditation

The Śiva Purāṇa provides ancient wisdom for attaining liberation and material pleasure in modern life. The world is an ocean; knowing how to live correctly brings enjoyment, while ignorance leads to suffering. Śiva, the supreme truth and remover of obstacles, is the focus of this non-dualistic philosophy. The scripture details the significance of sacred objects like the Rudrākṣa, born from Śiva's tear of compassion, which benefits all who wear it. It also explains the Tripuṇḍra mark, representing all deities and the three qualities of nature. Adopting a sāttvic, vegetarian lifestyle maximizes these practices' benefits, aligning with one's inherent dharma, just as all of nature follows its own. The human mind tends downward, but spiritual practice provides upliftment. A key lesson is overcoming ego, as illustrated by Nārada's story: his pride after meditation led to delusion and anger, demonstrating that even sages can falter. The path requires surrendering to the divine plan, accepting all situations as purposeful, and diligently practicing meditation to purify the mind. True knowledge is applying these teachings practically, changing one's perspective to find paradise in the present. "Whoever wears the Rudrākṣa, it doesn’t matter whether they are a Śiva devotee or not, they will equally benefit from it." "If you see others’ faults and your own merits, both are harmful... Do not count others’ faults. And don’t count your prides. Be yourself."

Listening to Shiv Mahapuran Uplifts the Soul

The Śiva Purāṇa reveals how ego and desire obstruct truth and peace. Brahmā and Viṣṇu debated supremacy until Śiva directed them to meditate, where the eternal truth is found within. Ego arises with "I," and desire with "want"; cutting both yields peace. Dakṣa Prajāpati, filled with pride, insulted Śiva by excluding him from a sacrifice. His devoted daughter Satī attended despite Śiva's silent warning. Hearing her father's insults, she immolated herself in the sacred fire. Śiva, though omniscient, manifested fury and sent Vīrabhadra, who destroyed the sacrifice and beheaded Dakṣa. Upon his wife's pleas, Śiva restored Dakṣa's life with a goat's head, teaching that one must bear the consequences of personal karma. The story symbolizes that ignorance and ego make one animal-like, while meditation restores purity. All pain and gain are temporary; be a witness without attachment. True education is physical fitness, mental strength, and spiritual elevation, not mere academic degrees. Divine knowledge brings lasting enjoyment, making worldly addictions unnecessary. "When you cut 'I' and 'want,' then only say 'peace,' then you will get it." "Everything has to go. It will go away." Filming locations: Siprā riverbank, Ujjain, India.

God is Endless

The infinite radiance of Śiva pervades all universes, endless and beyond imagination. Our limited being is fundamentally one with this limitless Śiva consciousness, present in every atom of creation. The individual soul is like a drop destined to merge with the ocean of Śiva. This realization frees one from the cycles of birth and death governed by cosmic law. Various energies, physical and subtle, affect the body and mind, just as poison affects one person but not another. Only Śiva, or the Guru who embodies that principle, can consume such poison and bestow the purifying nectar of grace. This divine blessing, the Guru's caraṇāmṛta, cleanses all accumulated energies and karma. Through sādhanā and surrender at this holy place, one can consign all karma to the sacred fire of transformation, allowing it to be utterly burned away. "The difference between the ocean and this drop is a hand. This drop will fall into the ocean. The jīvā becomes Śiva." "But hope is that walking stick from the cradle to the grave."

Purify yourself!

The holy city of Ujjain is a center of divine light and consciousness. This place is described as the first appearance of Śiva's light and the navel of the universe. The gathering occurs during the Mahākumbha Melā, where sacred rivers unite in consciousness. The human condition is one of profound impurity, both physical and mental. The body and intellect are filled with pollution and negative tendencies. This inner corruption is the true focus, not external judgments. Personal effort through sādhanā, mantra, and the fire of yoga is the only path to burn past karmas and achieve purification. Surrender through bhakti is essential. Do not compromise or seek excuses; begin the inner work now. "First, look within thyself at how much you are polluted." "Only one thing in human life now begins: make your mantra, your sādhanā, your kriyā yoga. There is no other way." Filming location: Ujjain, India

Naham Karata for Yoga teachers

Practice and devotion alone bridge intellect to realization. Mere thinking misleads. Without awareness, error casts one back into the cycle of 8.4 million births. Intellect must surrender to bhakti. Vairāgya and discipline strengthen the path. The mind is fickle, never a reliable guide. Faith requires control through viveka. A teacher first instructs oneself, then others. The teacher stays alert, observes all, and transmits authentic knowledge. The mantra serves only with discrimination. Awareness makes one Brahmā, seeing in four directions. Satsaṅgsa colors the soul. The body, woven from five elements over nine months, gains pure color from the master. Fools stain it daily with anger, jealousy, ego. Surrender all mistakes to the divine. The holy land births incarnations. Teachers unite, never split, and advance toward ātmā jñāna. “There is no one, there is no one. Because all is me. All beings are with me, all of this is my ātmā, so I need not fall again into duality.” “Please do not notice our mistakes. Whatever and however we are, we are Yours, and please liberate us.”

Perfection comes at the end of the life

The Master's way requires the disciple to follow without argument or doubt. Three types exist: the transient flower, the follower who falls away, and the true follower. The relationship is like the Pāras stone turning iron to gold; failure means either the stone or the iron is not real, or a distance of doubt exists. The disciple's cup must be filled. A full cup does not overflow because it pours into other hearts, but first one must ensure neither cup has a hole. Understanding another's true need is essential, not acting on presumption. The path is difficult, and many disciples leave. Perfection and liberation come only at the end of life through continuous learning. Do not speak against the Guru's word. Māyā is the illusion that distracts, like a mirage on a road. Follow the Master. "Pāras saṅga loha kīna, phira bina palaṭa loha. Yathā pāras asalī nahīṁ, yā rahā vichovā."

As far as water flows it remains clean

Health depends on nourishment, society, and thoughts. Laziness is the biggest enemy, a disease of tamas guṇa. This inertia makes one sick, believing "I can’t do anything," yet when danger comes, action proves it is not sickness but laziness. Rajas guṇa, from anger and greed, is another mental illness. These psychic problems are not for doctors, as they stem from behavior. Stagnant water becomes foul; active living keeps one clean. Spiritual illness occurs when the lazy enter sacred spaces only to receive, not work, creating karmic disease. Every thought is recorded, leading to future consequences. Good karma leads to health and self-realization; bad karma leads to lower births. Humans alone can change old karmas through good deeds. No medicine heals karma, only blessings from all beings. Ancestral bonds also cause disease, as unliberated ancestors depend on the living. Ceremonies and pūjās can purify these karmas and bring liberation. One must take responsibility to help liberate ancestors, for they are always with us like a shadow. "Water should flow. When water flows, it is clean, and when water stays, it becomes stinky."

Avoid manipulated products

Modern illness stems from artificial consumption and neglecting natural living. Good health is an art most fail to practice. Chewing gum falsely signals digestion, harming the system. Artificial sugars and chemical sweeteners cause diabetes, unlike natural honey or cane sugar. Refined oils lack nutrients and are dangerous; natural butter and ghee prevent cholesterol and heart disease. Plastic bottles and polluted water replace good fountain water. Manipulated milk involves animal torture and affects human consciousness. Processed foods and pesticides poison the environment. The mind and senses, especially taste, govern health but often enslave us. Satsaṅg, spiritual fellowship, surpasses even prolonged austerity in granting wellness and purity.

Health is the first wealth, requiring harmony and spiritual education. Spiritual education is missing, particularly for parents who must understand their sacred duty. Society has become egocentric, discarding elders after taking their care. True welfare is happiness, health, and family, not mere money. Greed has no limits, exceeding what the earth can provide. The ancient science of yoga offers a path to this welfare, accessible to all without tools. It encompasses concentration, meditation, and right living. This inner development mirrors the universe, as the primordial sound Om resonates within and throughout creation. "Health is the first wealth." "We need an education for parents, not for children. And automatically, the children will learn." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Holi Satsang 2016

The festival of Holī celebrates the victory of divine light over negative darkness. This eternal struggle exists within the universe and within each individual. From the beginning, two tendencies exist: the pure, liberating divine energy and the destructive negative energy. Śiva, the supreme consciousness, eternally balances both. These forces manifest as devas and asuras, born from the same source yet perpetually in conflict. This internal battle is reflected in our own minds, where pure devotion contends with negative thoughts like anger and ego. The story of Holī illustrates this victory. A demon king, granted a boon making him nearly invincible, forbade the worship of any god but himself. His son, Prahlāda, remained a devoted devotee of Viṣṇu. The king’s sister, Holikā, who was immune to fire, sat in flames with the boy to destroy him. Through divine protection and the power of mantra, Holikā burned to ashes while Prahlāda emerged unharmed. This event marks the triumph of faith and positive energy. Later, the demon was destroyed by the Narasiṁha avatāra, an incarnation that appeared at twilight, on a threshold, using claws, thus transcending the conditions of the boon. The festival commemorates this victory of light. "Always, victory is there where the truth is. It is the victory of dharma over adharma." "The festival commemorates the victory of the good ones and the destruction of the bad ones. The bhaktas will be protected, and the asuras will be destroyed." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Satsang from London

Śiva is universal consciousness, liberation, truth, and beauty, the self-manifested source of all. Yoga, the Vedas, and all wisdom originate from Śiva, who can destroy negativity with the third eye. The Śiva liṅga represents the endless universe, which is space. Within that space is consciousness. The energy that unites space and consciousness is Śakti, the primal power behind all perception and action. Śakti is not gender but the divine energy balancing creation. Two forces exist: the divine spiritual energy and the destructive demonic energy. Śiva oversees creation and dissolution, intervening only when necessary. True devotion is the heart's surrender, leading to liberation. "Śiva means mokṣa. Śiva means liberation. Śiva means the consciousness." "Without that Śakti, our body cannot exist."

Healing of humanity

Healing arises from sound, respect, and living naturally. Mental illness creates imbalance in all aspects of life. Mass media reaches many, but true influence requires positive thinking and respect, not ego. Self-respect is social education reflected in clean appearance and considerate behavior to honor others; this is not ego. True healing returns to natural origins through mantra, yajña, and the resonance of sound described in the Vedas. Harmonious sound, or nāda, connects all hearts and heals nature, animals, and humans. Discordant modern noise causes suffering and disharmony. Sustainability requires ancient, natural systems. Positive thinking and truth dispel inner darkness. Each person must awaken their human qualities through good society and education. Begin each day affirming your humanity and the wish for all to be happy. "Self-respect is that social education. You give others good behavior so that you are respecting." "Nāda is that resonance... when it is a resonance which is uniting, connecting heart to heart... that sound is called Brahman." Filming location: London, UK

Longing for the God

Devotion is a fragrant merging with the divine. A heart clear in devotion knows it belongs only to God. This devotion unfolds like a blossom at dawn, each petal an offering, its fragrance merging into infinite space. The soul longs for oneness with Brahman. This merging is a complete marriage, without separation. Worldly attachments decay, but the soul is immortal. True devotion is a spiritual longing, a viraha, a wound only God can heal. It brings wakefulness, unlike the sleep of worldly entanglement. The aim of human life is this union, awakening to the divine dwelling in every heart. This awareness fosters universal love and respect, healing humanity. Spiritual education is essential to cultivate this, making humans who embrace the world. "Darśan do, please appear to me. My eyes are thirsty." "O my Gurudev, give me the dust of Thy lotus feet." Filming location: London, UK

A Guided Practice for Body and Mind

A guided practice integrates body and mind through specific postures and awareness. Begin by concentrating on the toes, then move awareness upward, relaxing each body part. Coordinate breath with movement, observing the stomach's expansion and contraction. Perform deliberate contractions and stretches, noting the sensations in muscles and joints. These movements influence the body's energy centers and glands, creating internal harmony. The postures express one's character and serve as preventive healing. Sitting in a stable posture allows the spine and diaphragm to relax, increasing lung capacity and heart efficiency. This state filters thoughts, retaining the beneficial and releasing the negative. Self-healing arises from utilizing the innate tools provided by nature. Conclude by consciously replacing negative thoughts with those beneficial for all beings, supported by vibrational chanting. "These postures are influencing very important parts of the body and the glands to create peace and harmony." "Root out the negative thoughts which give trouble to us personally and to others. Develop the good thoughts which are good for us and for others."

Keep balance while you are practicing

Yoga is a lifelong practice for body, mind, and spirit. It is an ancient science for health and self-realization, not merely physical exercise. Many misunderstand it, turning it commercial, but true yoga overcomes stress and brings peace. It is for all ages and walks of life, a daily system like eating or breathing. Practice must be balanced, without competition or strain, and includes postures, breath, and meditation. Breath harmonizes the body, and the heart works loyally; we must care for it. The body is a temple for the inner self, which dislikes aggression and falsity. Spirituality is devotion—a higher, respectful love—not a temporary, misused emotion. True devotion leads to oneness and God realization, harmonizing life and family. "Health is the first wealth." "Yoga should be for every walk of life." Filming location: London, UK

The first wealth is health

The first happiness is a body free of illness. The mantra is Pehla Sukha Nirogī Kāyā. A healthy body is the primary comfort. Without the body nothing exists. The second happiness is prosperity in the household. Wealth allows feeding the family and welcoming guests. Money is not everything, but without it nothing is there. The third happiness is a loyal partner. Mutual understanding between partners makes the family ever happy. The fourth happiness is obedient children. A child must not speak harsh words but listen and gain knowledge. The fifth happiness is a good neighbor. A friendly neighbor is like your own family. The sixth happiness is your own cow. Fresh milk straight from the udder is health and love. Milk from a cow is like a mother’s milk, divine and full of nutrients. The body is a wondrous house built by God. It has air conditioning, digestion, and all functions. It is given rent‑free but must be kept clean. Foolish ones destroy this body with unnatural nourishment and alcohol. Practice yoga, meditation, and natural living. Take pure food, air, water, and use organic materials. A human can heal oneself. “Lord, give me that much in which my whole family can dwell comfortably and have enough to eat, and I too do not remain hungry, and any guest who comes to my door should not go away hungry.” “The skin’s calf, the skin cow, the skin milker, and the skin itself drinks.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Shiva changed poison into nectar

Śiva is Mahādeva, the light and liberation, rescuing devotees when their efforts exhaust. Realizing the Ātmā unites Jīvātmā with Paramātmā, elevating one to Mahātma and Mahādeva. The body is a box containing the precious diamond of the Ātmā. Only through the Guru is this Ātmā realized. Harmony is balance, peace, and renunciation of selfish desires. Nature embodies perfect harmony, while man-made things are imperfect. Scientific manipulation of seeds and reproduction disrupts natural harmony. Such disharmony leads to conflict and infertility. True knowledge arises from sādhanā, not external research. The Guru tunes the disciple’s inner instrument for harmony. Harmony means accepting mistakes and seeing the Ātmā in all beings. Renounce ego and desires to achieve harmony. Balance body, mind, and emotions in oneness. Jealousy, greed, and arrogance keep harmony distant. Live in friendship with nature as the Vedas instruct. Realize that Jīvātmā, Ātmā, and Paramātmā are one. "Śiva means light. Śiva means liberation." "Harmony means to renounce. Tyāga. Virāga." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Whole world is one family

True peace arises not from external security but from purified consciousness and recognition of the world as one family. Yoga is an ancient discipline uniting mind, body, and spirit, embodying harmony with nature and oneness with all existence. The International Day of Yoga, proposed with 175 co-sponsoring nations, reflects this universal need. The world suffers from greed, war, and pollution—physical and invisible, but the deepest pollution is negative thought. Security cannot come from weapons; a peaceful mind and loving disposition are primary. Like a farmer who shares seeds to protect his own crop, humanity thrives only when all are uplifted. Spiritual darkness is dissolved by turning to the light, as Shiva Ratri signifies movement from darkness to light. Shiva drank the world’s poison, holding it in the throat, transforming it through yogic practice. Mirabai also drank poison with faith, turning it to nectar. The mind carries immense impurities from past actions; purification is slow but sure. True knowledge sees all as equal, like the Parash stone turning iron to gold, yet the master elevates the disciple to mastery. The individual soul is a drop near the ocean of universal consciousness, seeking union. Human life is a final step before liberation, easily lost through doubt and negative energies. Even vegetarianism is tainted if one’s partner consumes meat, for energy is shared. To clean inner garbage, one must invoke the Mahakala fire that burns all to ash. Chanting the Mahamrityunjaya mantra expands consciousness, bringing peace. The world is one family; service to others is the path to happiness. “Sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ, sarve santu nirāmayāḥ, sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu, mā kaścid duḥkha bhāgbhavet, Oṁ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ.” “Prabhujī, mere avaguṇa cita na dharo, samadarśī hai nāma tihāro, cāhe to pāra karo.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Spiritual festivals

Human life is designed for service, protection, and understanding creation, not for ego-driven destruction. The great saints designed daily life with sacred festivals and observances to occupy the mind with spirituality, creating peace and leaving no time for violence. Modern technology, while good, grows destructive, but divinely ordained traditions are not dangerous. Each day of the week holds a specific spiritual significance and practice, connecting life to cosmic rhythms. This continuous sacred engagement makes every day a festival, fostering happiness and divine connection. If this design is followed, it creates heaven in the mortal world. "Making highways and skyscrapers is only for the fulfillment of the ego of human life." "If we can do this, it means every day we are fasting... What peace!" Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Mahashivaratri

Mahāśivarātri is the cosmic night of Śiva and the resonance of OM. The sound OM pervades the universe. Chanting OM calls Śiva. Worship follows protocol: first Gaṇeśa, remover of obstacles. Then Śiva is invited with Oṁ Namaḥ Śivāya. Śiva has no mother or father. Space and consciousness are of unknown origin. Energy holds them together. This energy is yoga, union. Its movement is resonance, Nāda, the sound OM. Through resonance, consciousness illuminates. Creation begins from this illumination. The dark night of Śivarātri turns into light through Nāda. The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra removes suffering. Meditation on inner space connects one to Śiva. Offerings are poured on the liṅga, the universe's form. This night fosters awakeness, transforming darkness into light. "Eko’haṁ bahu syāmī — I am one, and I will multiply." "The light within you is the Śivarātri."

Mantra

The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra is paramount for purification and health. Prepare Caraṇāmṛta for abhiṣeka with water, milk, yogurt, butter, and honey. Chanting this mantra vibrates the body and dispels illness and dark energy. It removes tamas and rajas guṇas, the impurities of laziness and agitation, allowing sattva guṇa—health and clarity—to appear. Tamas arises from laziness and unhealthy food, leading to inaction and mental dullness. Rajas creates inner aggression and conflict. Cultivate sattva through Alpāhāra, eating little and light, and Alpanidrā, sleeping little. Overcome these guṇas by turning awareness inward. Chanting mantras supplies high-quality nourishment to the brain, fostering peace and youthfulness. Peace and happiness are inherent states, requiring only awareness. The mantra's power is illustrated by Śiva, who drank poison and purified it, and by the devotee Mīrābāī, who was unharmed by poison through faith. "Oṁ Tryambakaṃ Yajāmahe Sugandhiṃ Puṣṭivardhanam, Urvārukamiva Bandhanān Mṛtyormukṣīya Mā’mṛtāt." "Alpāhāra, Alpanidrā, and Alpavāk—speak less, but speak words that make everyone say, 'Wow, yes.'"

Recharging the spiritual energy

You are in the aura of Śiva consciousness, a divine vibration filling your thoughts and body, making you Śivamaya. Many worldly problems vanish here in this experience of the Self, ānanda-svarūpa. Avoid the company of those entangled in temporary, conflicted worldly pursuits; this is kusanga. Their polluted minds will affect you. Associate only with truly spiritual beings; be light so darkness cannot approach. Self-knowledge is essential. Do not mistake this temporary state for permanent attainment; old conflicts may return upon leaving. A wise person does not ask questions from ignorance but knows the answer. The story illustrates seeking a worthy match: an educated princess tests suitors until finding a simple shepherd who reveals profound wisdom. Their union, after a test involving a cat and a mouse, leads to his spiritual awakening as the great poet Kālidāsa. Ujjain is a sacred city where liberation is possible. "Be light. Be the light, so the darkness will not come near." "A wise one will never put a question, because the wise is wise." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We are all born from Shiva

Śiva is the supreme reality, encompassing truth, auspiciousness, and beauty. He is Mahādev, the God of Gods, beyond human titles like "Lord." Śiva is unborn and endless, the source from which all creation multiplies. He embodies perfect balance and innocent simplicity, known as Bholenāth. Śiva brought forth the science of yoga, which is union and happiness beyond duality. The entire universe is His manifestation; the oceans are likened to His breath. He is the principle of the guru, the creator and dissolver, maintaining all existence. Worship of Śiva, through simple abhiṣeka and mantras, offers protection and peace. "Śiva means the whole universe: Satyam, Śivam, Sundaram." "I am one, and now I will multiply." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Abhishek is worship of the entire Universe

The Śiva Liṅga represents the formless, entire universe, which is pure consciousness and energy. It has no birth, death, father, or mother. Performing abhiṣeka is worshipping the whole universe, as everything comes from Śiva, who is the God of the gods. The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya mantra is a Vedic prayer to Śiva for liberation from death. It seeks a liberation like a ripe fruit separating naturally from its plant, without pain or attachment. Everyone must die, but the goal is to die in such a way that one is liberated and does not die again. This liberation comes through sādhanā, mantra, and devotion. Philosophical argument or belief does not help; there is a final truth. In this age, ritual like abhiṣeka is essential. The water used represents life and the body. All of God's creation, like the human body or honey, is a unique miracle to be respected, not destroyed. Spirituality awakens a universal love for all creatures. The essence is to live in harmony with the entire universe. Every action and mantra contains the divine. "Everyone dies, and you will also die, but you should die in such a way that you will not die anymore." "Brahman is the truth, and this whole world is mortal; this is not true."

Sanatan Dharma is not a man-made religion

The mind is the source of all conflict and duality. Human-made religions, or sects, create dispute through personal liking and disliking. Sanātana Dharma is the eternal, universal principle, not a designed religion. It is the sustaining reality observable in nature, like a seed's growth. All phenomena, including life's origins and cycles, are expressions of this eternal process. The one divine reality, Brahman, is singular, but humans create personal gods and fight over them. Yoga is the workshop for repairing human imbalance, moving beyond fixed ideas and cultural conditioning toward that reality. Individual karma persists until duality dissolves into oneness. "All that is happening, pleasant and unpleasant, is according to the human mind. The mind is the problem." "Sanātana Dharma is that eternal light, eternal peace, eternal consciousness, eternal existence." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

I will be Thine

True devotion transcends all distance. Where there is pure love for the Divine, separation cannot exist. This love connects soul to soul, uniting the devotee with God. Physical proximity is irrelevant when bhakti is present; without it, even a neighbor feels distant. Spiritual practice maintains this permanent bond beyond the temporary body. Jealousy and fear arise from attachment and ignorance, creating separation. Most seek material gains, but human life is for realizing the soul. The seeker is already close to the ocean of consciousness, like a drop of water on a hand held above the sea. Do not wander far in search; the Divine is within. Practice with unwavering awareness and without doubt. "Where there is bhakti, where there is devotion, or where there is love, there is no distance." "Where are you searching me, my dear? I am with you." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Master should have equal vision

A master's teaching adapts to the student's background but arises from a place of non-discrimination. Teaching varies based on a student's inherent culture, like learning to cook at home versus from scratch. Language also shapes the delivery, as perfect translation of meaning is difficult. However, the true master holds no distinction in heart, like a sun shining on all. The story of Eklavya illustrates this: though formally rejected, his devotion to his guru as a statue made him a great archer. The master teaches from within, beyond speech, through divine love. Disciples who perceive favoritism are mistaken. The master knows each student's needs and administers many tests. True service is to see oneself not as a successor, but as eternally serving the guru. "Love does not require any words. Love does not need any explanation." "The master is like a sun, and the disciples are like all of us who benefit from the sunlight."

Republic Day of India

Learn to smile from the flower. These students performed beautifully, embodying devotion to the nation. We desire no silk, palaces, or thrones. Our sole request is to always be born in Hindustān. The standing Himalaya instructs us to remain firm, unmoved by storms, preserving our vital energy. Culture is inherited from parents, not lineages; they must impart knowledge of dharma and patriotism. True culture respects humanity, daughters, cows, sages, and the elements. From culture come impressions, and from those impressions, peace for family, society, and nation becomes possible. The greatest devotion is devotion to one's country. "Just one small request... always let us be born in dear Hindustān." "Culture is inherited from our parents. In the lap of mother and father, one receives culture; it is not found in lineages."

Sanatan Dharma

Sanātana Dharma is the eternal foundation. It is distinct from superstition. The divine resides within all living beings, making them eternal parts of the whole. This truth is the core of the eternal dharma, sometimes called Hindu dharma, whose true meaning is to uphold non-violence. The teachings of the sages are clear: truth alone triumphs, and non-violence is the supreme dharma. For a time, people have been misled to think following this dharma brings no benefit. Yet, yoga is the sages' gift, not belonging to any single religion. All genuine spiritual paths are aspects of yoga, whose foundation is Sanātana Dharma, where compassion is foremost. The essential self is in all beings; to cause no pain is the dharma's special feature. This land is fundamentally a land of dharma. The eternal truth is beginningless and endless. It is a duty to protect this dharma and culture, from which right conduct arises, ensuring the nation's protection and world peace. This conduct is learned from parents and the guru's guidance. Teach the children respect for mother and father; this is the first step to raising the nation's pride. "All beings are my ātmā; the ātmā itself is Paramātmā. Not causing pain to any being is the special feature of our dharma." "Satyam eva jayate ahiṃsā paramo dharmāḥ."

Atma is the same in every being

Faith is the essential foundation for all spiritual progress and worldly action. Time is precious and must be used with decisive purpose. The divine light of the one Paramātmā resides within every being; seen as the ātman, all are one. Souls incarnate to experience the fruits of their karma, which is inevitable and bound by time. Action is in your hands, but its fruit is divinely ordained. One must act with discernment and wisdom to avoid error. Devotion atones for past sins, for there is only one Master, though called by many names. True dharma is eternal and universal. When all thoughts become one, universal peace can be established. The human duty is to protect, not destroy, all living beings. Realization comes from asking "Who am I?" and knowing "I am the ātman." Great beings manifest to guide this understanding. Proceed with thoughtful discernment to manifest excellence, preserving culture through right sanskāras. "All beings are my ātman, and the ātman itself is Paramātmā. When seen in the form of ātman, we are all one." "The action is in their hands, the deed is in your hands, but the fruit of the deed is in our hands."

Opening ceremony of a water tower in Nipal

The essence of life is prāṇa, the vital force; controlling it leads to liberation. Strengthening this energy through meditation is essential for spiritual progress. A newly created facility begins use, yet a minister's promised visit did not occur, causing regret and a lost opportunity to energize the village. This reflects a cultural issue of not arriving on time, once excused as 'Indian time' due to delays. However, such tardiness now causes disappointment and is not a good sign for the world. Our Sanātana Dharma culture, based on compassion, truth, and non-violence, is paramount. Yet we must ask what we are doing for our ātman. The human body is given to worship and unite the individual soul with the supreme soul. All beings are my soul, and the soul itself is the supreme reality. This āśrama belongs to everyone; no permission is needed to serve here. "If the actions are in our hands, we can do them anytime until we die. But once the opportunity slips away, then we cannot grasp that moment again." "All beings are my ātman, and the ātman itself is the Paramātmā." Filming locations: Mahroli, Shikhar district, India

The Grace of the Guru and the Wealth of Bhārat

The root of all spiritual practice is the Guru's grace. One arrives in the Guru's presence by destiny and grace, not by personal plan. Many are told to seek wealth in the West, but the real poverty is a lack of devotion, which is absent in India. The land of Bhārat possesses the wealth of bhakti and knowledge. The Guru works tirelessly for decades, spreading vegetarianism and peace worldwide. India is the source of all scriptures and wisdom; it gives knowledge and never takes. True devotion is selfless, without personal desire, as Bhagavān knows what is needed. The repetition of the divine name is the support in this age. All beings are the self; service should be for all creatures. Preserve your lineage by having many children. Spells and sorcery have no power over a true devotee. "Poverty certainly exists, but what appears most prominently here is the greatest poverty that exists in the entire world, which is not found in India. That poverty is called bhakti." "Bhārat Mātā always gives; she extends her hand forward like this, the hand is offered to give, not to take." Filming location: Mumbai, India
