Gentle yoga movements strengthen the back to prevent and alleviate pain. Begin with complete relaxation, releasing tension from toes to head. Focus on natural breath. Proceed with gentle spinal twists and stretches while lying down, moving knees side to side. These movements release stiffness without force. Strengthen the parallel back muscles by raising the upper body while prone. Practice concentration by sitting on the toes and focusing on a single point. Consistency is key; practice these gentle postures daily to build a foundation for more advanced practice. This harmonizes body and mind. "Relax your whole body from the toes to the top of the head and from the top of the head to the toes." "When they are strong, then we don’t have pain, back pain problems."

A yoga session integrates physical postures with awareness to build strength and inner fire. The practice begins with relaxation and breath awareness to release tension. Physical postures like Pavanamuktāsana enhance circulation and digestion, working on specific areas like the groin. Strengthening the body supports the will and builds energy, aligning with the activation of the Maṇipūra Chakra for vitality and digestive fire. Postures also address the spinal column and thyroid, promoting overall harmony. The session concludes with meditation, focusing on breath and mantra to dissolve tension and invite light. Through āsana, energy is both expended and renewed, leading to heightened awareness and inner warmth. "Problems in our life will only make us stronger and stronger." "With āsana, we lose some energy, but at the same time we get more energy, and we feel after āsana that we are full with the energy." Filming locations: Zagreb, Croatia

Life is a spiritual tightrope walk between ego and self-doubt. The mantra "I am not the doer" protects us from ego, the great enemy that can destroy life if it becomes our master. Conversely, when feeling worthless, we must remember "I am Shiva"—I am divine consciousness. A yogi walks this rope, ignoring praise or criticism, focused only on doing their best. The spiritual path has many enemies and pitfalls; we are like drunkards intoxicated by qualities like youth, wealth, or perceived spirituality. The ashram and satsang function as a vital support group, a spiritual family stronger than blood ties, where we share problems and realize we are not alone. This family preserves sanatana dharma, the eternal tradition behind all religions, which gives life meaning and security. In this family, no one is a guest; we are connected beyond language or perfection, understanding each other through open hearts. "I am not the one who is the doer... I am just a channel." "On one side is ego, and on the other side is a lack of self-confidence." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health. Good health is the primary happiness, meaning balance and harmony within the body and mind. This balance ends distractions and illness. Both positive and negative energies exist within all beings. When negative vibrations like hate or anger awaken, disharmony follows. When positive energies like love and compassion awaken, light returns. The system of Āyurveda and yoga is for achieving this balance in physical, mental, and social life. True happiness includes a healthy body, necessary material means, a harmonious partner, good children, a good neighbor, and self-sufficiency like having one's own milk and farm. Modern life brings pollution and stress. Practice yoga, breath exercises, and meditation to digest daily stress. Live with harmony, carefulness, and detachment, like a lotus in muddy water. Be cautious in a dangerous world, like living among crocodiles. Maintain social harmony like a clever tongue among teeth. Practice yoga simply and daily for all ages, without competition, to influence the entire body well. "Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health." "Within you is the ocean of immortality. Within you is the fountain of joy. Kill this little 'I' and lead a divine life." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

The moon's phases govern our body's biorhythms, influencing hormones, nerves, and emotional balance. Within the 72,000 nerves, three principal channels—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā—affect body, mind, and consciousness. The left nostril connects to emotions, the right to intellect and creativity, and the central nerve to consciousness. These channels intersect at energy centers, or chakras, which process experiences and toxins. Health depends on hormonal balance, which is swayed by the moon and the flow of energy through these subtle channels. Illness begins as invisible disharmony on an emotional level before manifesting physically. Social health erodes through collective habits and distance. Substance abuse creates social illness and disharmony. Modern technology and isolation destroy human connection and quality. Social health requires gathering, understanding, and healthy traditions. Conflict, harsh words, and violence are social diseases. The foundation is personal behavior. Begin each day with a positive, spiritual thought to filter the day's events. Remember "I am human," an affirmation that awakens compassion, kindness, and forgiveness while subduing jealousy, greed, and ego. Human qualities are awakened through meditation, prayer, and giving. Kind words and humble requests are powerful. True spirituality is expressed in daily conduct, creating a healthy society. "Our health balance depends on the moon." "Spirituality is your behavior."

The supreme reality is formless, nameless consciousness, the source of all. Mantras connect us to this governing presence. Humans impose names and forms, like Kṛṣṇa or Jesus, but these are limited expressions of the one truth. This divine consciousness is beyond duality—beyond conflict of religion, culture, or ego. Our life is a journey toward realizing this oneness. The body is temporary, but the true Self is everlasting, spotless, and unmovable. It is the silent witness within all. The aim of prayer and meditation is to awaken to this non-dual reality, where only the light of wisdom remains. "God is omniscient, omnipresent, but still He has no name, He has no form." "The aim of meditation is to come to the oneness, to come above this duality." Filming location: UK

Human dharma is the specific duty and nature of a human being. A scorpion's nature is to sting, but a human's dharma is to save life, not to retaliate. We share basic activities like eating and sleeping with animals, but these are not our specific purpose. Our unique human qualities are free will, intellect, and the capacity for self-inquiry. This allows us to ask about life's purpose and embark on a spiritual path. The essence of human life is to realize our true nature and to serve. Therefore, the universal human dharma is mokṣa, liberation, and seva, selfless service. Beyond this universal dharma, we have specific dharmas according to our social roles and relationships, which can sometimes conflict. Finally, each individual has a unique personal dharma based on innate talents and calling. The principle of dharma is a tool for analyzing life situations and making wise decisions that create good karma. "It is the nature of a scorpion to sting. It is the dharma of a scorpion. But I am human. It is my dharma to save him." "In eating, drinking, and enjoying, the animals are also very good. That means as long as we reduce our life on these aspects, we are not living actually a human life." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Dharma is the guiding principle for right action, intrinsically linked to karma. Karma is the law of cause and effect from our actions. Humans create karma because we possess free will and choice, unlike animals which naturally follow their dharma without creating karma. When we deviate from our inherent dharma, we generate negative karma and suffering. Dharma provides the rules and principles, like the Yamas and Niyamas, to guide action and avoid negative consequences. It is not an assigned duty but the inherent nature of a thing, discovered through inquiry. Following dharma protects us, as protecting dharma leads to its protection in return. The highest principle is Ahiṃsā, or non-violence, which translates to love and compassion as the ultimate guideline for action. "Dharma Rakṣita Rakṣitāha." "Ahiṃsā paramo dharma."

Guru Pūrṇimā is the worship of knowledge and the principle of the master and disciple. The word "Gu" means darkness and "Ru" means light, signifying the movement from ignorance to knowledge. This day commemorates the first sunlight touching the earth when it was lifted from the cosmic waters, representing illumination. It also honors the sage Veda Vyāsa, who compiled the scriptures, recognizing that in this age human memory has greatly diminished. The day celebrates the Guru Tattva, the supreme principle behind the trinity of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, which guides all creation. It is not the worship of a person but of the indwelling light of wisdom. The tradition of teacher and student is Sanātana Dharma, an eternal, universal law that ensures continuity like the cycle of birth and growth. The physical seat of teaching, the Vyāsa Gāḍī, symbolizes this enduring principle beyond any individual. True observance involves inner worship, positive practices, and realizing the complete light within oneself. "Gu means darkness and Ru means light. Light and darkness." "Guru Pūrṇimā is worshipped with great joy, and it is not a worship of a person, but it is a worship of that knowledge." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The Anāhat Chakra and the nature of translation are examined. Chakras are subtle organs guiding energy, positioned parallel to but not inside the spine. They influence specific bodily functions. To understand them, study the relevant book and chart. Translating such material is profoundly difficult, as mere word-for-word conversion fails. True translation requires three elements: the literal word meaning, the contextual feeling, and the deeper knowledge. Most translations only provide the first. Language changes meaning; understanding this prevents confusion. Mental strength, nurtured by pure nourishment and positive states, is paramount. The Anāhat Chakra is the seat of devotional absorption, where feeling expands and contracts with one's inner state. "To translate a spiritual or philosophical book, the translator requires three qualities." "Bhāva means devotion... Bhāva also means value." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Anāhata Chakra is the central junction of the body and the universe, conducting all functions of intellect, consciousness, and emotion. Every atom connects to this center where the Self resides, making it endless. Evidence suggests the individual soul is in the heart, as a living heart can sustain a brain but not the reverse. This heart center holds the flame of life. Key junctions are Maṇipūra, Anāhata, and Sahasrāra, with the heart as the main quarter. Love must be preserved there, for once lost like a spoiled flame, it cannot be found again. That divine love is eternal and selfless, akin to a mother's. The individual soul seeks happiness and ultimately merges back into the ocean of oneness, like a wave returning to the sea. Through the Guru's grace and knowledge, ignorance is transformed, karmic debts are cleared, and one attains fearlessness. "If a drop of lemon spoils the milk, no more butter, no more ghee. And such a word, one word or one action, can destroy your married life." "He made the iron as gold... he made crow a swan." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Anāhata Chakra is the heart's lotus, the seat of limitless awareness beyond worldly borders. Yoga is the science of the chakras. Each chakra stores different karmic energy from past lives. People are either awake or asleep in ignorance according to their karma. Anger is a fire from ignorance; where there is knowledge, there is no anger. The heart is the temple of the spirit and the place of the soul's love. The heart is our most loyal organ, constantly working, yet we often neglect it. The Anāhata Chakra connects to the Svādhiṣṭhāna, where negative feelings can manifest as a knife in the heart. To open the heart is to be in divinity, and its sound is the soul's constant call to God. Love is a quality present in all creatures, the touch of the divine. "Anāhata means the limitless, beyond the borders of these worldly troubles." "Where there is love, there is no anger, no hate, no jealousy, no any negative feelings."

Yoga is the ancient practical science for achieving health and divine union. Health is the foundational wealth enabling a long life to fulfill human dharma. This human birth is rare and gifted with intellect, a mighty tool requiring ethical and spiritual education. Our immense inner potential can be awakened through practice, transforming human awareness into divine consciousness. Laziness is the great enemy; action must be taken now. The aim is to reach Brahmaloka, a state of no suffering, from which blessings continuously flow to earth. Blessings arise from forgiveness, understanding, and pure love, representing God's compassion. Begin each day with gratitude and the conscious thought, "I am human." This awareness fosters peace and activates human qualities like love and kindness. Happiness, freedom, and contentment are God-given; do not complain. True yoga is a conscious way of living, protecting others, and allowing God to act through you. Practice is paramount over theory. "Tons of theory is nothing compared to a gram of practice." "Peace begins from our own heart. There is no way to peace. Peace is the way." Filming locations: Prague, Central Bohemian Region, Czech Republic

Satsaṅg is the essential vessel for crossing the ocean of worldly existence. In this age, true spiritual gathering is rare, while material attainments are common. Human birth is for purifying sin and earning merit to attain liberation, which requires a generous heart and selfless action. Observe the suffering inflicted upon creatures, such as in modern dairy farming; this is not non-violence. Many teach yoga for money alone, not for satsaṅg. Equal love for all beings is essential, as shown to family pets. Satsaṅg inspires spirituality and liberation. Organize satsaṅg anywhere, practicing humility, kindness, and equal vision without religious duality. "Without satsaṅg, you cannot have vairāgya (dispassion). And without vairāgya, you cannot do bhajan; you cannot do sādhanā." "Dharma rakṣitaḥ rakṣitāḥ. If you protect dharma, dharma will protect you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The chakras correspond to worlds within the body and consciousness. The seven higher chakras map to higher lokas, beginning with Sahasrāra as Brahmaloka, the absolute reality. Tapaloka, the level of detachment, is in the Ājñā Chakra. Janaloka, the level of sound, is in Viśuddhi. Mahaloka, the level of great saints, is in Anāhata. Maṇipūra is the center, the level of heaven and the meeting point of prāṇa and apāna, where kuṇḍalinī awakening begins. Below are seven lower worlds. We must practice to ascend, overcoming obstacles like desire, anger, and ego. The inner fire of Maṇipūra burns karma without smoke when fueled by faith. What is in the universe is in the body. "Only this fire, physical fire, this material fire, will not burn all karmas." "What is in the universe is in the body." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The chapters of life and the fire of yoga define karma's path. Life begins as a blank chapter, filled by actions good or bad, which stay with consciousness forever. Interpretations of good and bad vary, yet all deeds accumulate on the soul. Through prayer, blessings from God or Gurudeva help complete unfinished chapters. The fire of yoga, Yogāgni, burns all karmic seeds. Unfinished chapters demand a return to human life for resolution. Ignoring nature, humans reincarnate, unlike animals that follow natural order. Keeping animals in cages creates karmic consequences. Svādhyāya, self-study, involves daily prayer and inner reflection. Rudrākṣa, when consecrated, provides protection and must always be worn. Initiations by gurus into laṅgoṭī, vibhūti, Rudrākṣa, and mantra complete spiritual authority. Holy texts in public spaces generate good karma. Vidyādhyāna for students requires honoring Sarasvatī for clarity. Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra balances Śiva and Śakti, Asuras and Devas. Maṇipūra Chakra, with Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī, is creation and immortality's center. Blood production at the navel sustains life, a divine mystery beyond science. Chapters are steered to the dhūnī, burning in awareness. “Yogāgni, karma dagdhāni” — through the fire of yoga, all the karmas, the seeds of the karmas, can be burned, roasted. “The chapter which we did not complete, we have to come back to complete it.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sanatana Dharma is a living tradition, not a closed or stale knowledge. The Guru principle recognizes every teacher—parent, schoolmaster, professor—as a guru, for “gu” is darkness and “ru” is light. Living knowledge requires a living teacher; books alone are insufficient. Religion must not be fanatical; incense is symbolic, and God perceives inner devotion. The Guru Parampara is eternal, for many systems have vanished but Sanatana remains. Ekalavya accepted Droṇācārya as guru despite refusal of formal teaching. He made a clay statue and practiced with intense devotion, calling on the guru’s grace with every failure. Thus he became an expert archer. When Droṇācārya demanded the right thumb as guru-dakshina, Ekalavya offered it without question. Arjuna’s lagan—focused practice—brought skill, seeing only the bird’s eye. Yet Ekalavya’s feat of silencing a dog with arrows without injury revealed deeper mastery born of bhakti. A story from Kathu tells of a guru unable to sleep with a sacred book under the bed, instructing its removal. Such reverence demonstrates bhakti. Love melts stone, while intellect shatters it. Devotion and faith in the guru bring perfection, not argument or technique. The disciple accepts the guru’s command without dispute, knowing the master sees what is best. Bhakti, devotion, faith in the guru can make one perfect. "Practice, practice, practice. Practice makes a master." "Love can melt the rock, while intellect can explode the rock."

The five sheaths are layers covering the true Self. Life is a mystery, and we are unaware of our own life. To provide clarity, existence is described through five sheaths, not the self. The physical body is the sheath of nourishment from food and drink. Energy arises from this nourishment, forming the vital sheath. The mental sheath is a mighty, blind power that governs us if left uneducated. The intellectual sheath is the faculty of discernment and science. The causal sheath of bliss is the seat of desires. These layers are covers over the Ātmā. One must penetrate these sheaths to reach liberation. The Self is content with knowledge and science, beyond hunger and thirst. Do not neglect the physical body through extreme fasting. The journey is lifelong work. "Mind is a mighty, very strong power, and all the siddhis, all the miracles, and many different things can only be mastered through the mind." "Jñāna Vijñāna Tṛpta Ātmā. The Ātmā is content. The Ātmā knows everything, the science and knowledge both." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Bighṛī banānevāle Dātā is the Divine Rectifier, the one who sets right all that goes wrong. The Guru makes the impossible possible and cancels what is destined. In Kathu, a Muslim man brought his blind son to Mahāprabhujī. Mahāprabhujī declared no difference between Hindu and Muslim; all are human. He instructed to put a drop of poisonous plant sap in the child’s eyes. The father had faith; the drop burned, but both eyes regained sight. Devotion is easy to speak but difficult to do. Mahāprabhujī once asked a devotee what he wished. The devotee asked only for devotion and service to the Lotus Feet. In Kali Yuga, the Name alone is the support for crossing the ocean of existence. When God decides to give suffering, He first removes the person’s intellect. The cakras are centers; Maṇipūra is the fire cakra, seat of consciousness. Time is a human construct; God did not create it. A devotee dove into water and lived many lifetimes in mere seconds. The jīvātmā follows a time scale far beyond ordinary perception. Face whatever comes; Gurudev takes care of everything. “Anahonī Guru kar sakhe, honī dete miṭāī.” “Kali yuga kevala nāma ādhāra, sumira sumira nara uṭhī bhavapāra.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The knowledge of Kuṇḍalinī and the Cakras is precious nourishment for the mind and spirit. This wisdom must be received by a vessel made ready through personal effort and daily cleansing in sādhanā. A lack of contentment arises from pouring pure knowledge into an unprepared, unclean cup. True contentment is found in being satisfied with what is present here and now. Spiritual development requires a disciplined environment, free from distraction, where one maintains self-respect through order and cleanliness. The physical body is a miraculous coach containing entire worlds, with each Cakra representing a distinct loka or solar system. The highest loka, Brahmaloka, is accessed through the Brahmarandhra, a door best approached in the purity of Brahma Muhūrta. "Satisfaction is a pathway, a necessity, to be content. Contentment is a crucial part of spiritual life." "O my brothers, sādhus, saints, Marvelous, wonderful, my coach. In which I was sitting many times." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A soul's descent into this world is a divine selection based on past spiritual discipline, not personal choice. The practice of yoga burns the seeds of karma, preventing rebirth. A self-realized being acts in the world without generating new karma, as darkness cannot touch light. Such a soul may be destined to return for service. The disciple is like raw stone shaped by the master into a sacred statue through humble submission. The initial longing for the guru must remain unwavering until the goal is achieved. Worldly life is a prison of disappointment compared to divine love. "Every soul, when descending from the astral world to this mortal world, must be chosen by some higher hierarchies."

The relationship between a master and disciple is the foundation of spiritual transmission. A true master embodies unwavering discipline and radiates a transformative presence that draws sincere seekers. The path demands complete surrender, rigorous training, and the endurance of hardship, all infused with the master's boundless love and mercy. This dynamic is not personal but a divine play to purify the disciple. The master's grace is ever-present, like rain that falls equally on all, yet only a receptive heart can absorb it. The ultimate goal is to realize the non-dual unity of seeker and source, transcending all outer forms and cultural conflicts. "Gurujī was like the flower where the bees come to collect that honey, that amṛt." "Rain is raining in this yard equally. But there are some stones that don’t suck the water."

Kuṇḍalinī is the coiled energy of consciousness, symbolized by the circle which contains all creation. Everything in the universe is round, from planets to drops of water, representing the completeness of zero, or Pūrṇa. This energy is our inherent potential and destiny, stored as latent impressions from many lives. A true blessing, like the sacred tilak, can rewrite these karmic prints and transform one's future, as illustrated by the story of Sudāmā and Krishna. The awakening of this energy is not a physical process but a spiritual unfolding of consciousness, where prāṇa and apāna unite within the subtle body. This union leads to mastery over all states of awareness, culminating in supreme joy and liberation. The guidance of a true guru, who possesses divine vision, is essential to navigate this inner universe and realize this map within. "Everything is round. The universe is round. The earth is round. Everything is round." "When the kuṇḍalinī is awakened, you master the yoga nidrā, then on all three levels you become one." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The inner world of consciousness is a vast, undiscovered forest. Consciousness resides within energy, which dwells in endless space, Ananta. Within consciousness lies our knowledge and intellect. When intellect intervenes, reality often disappears. The Ājñā Chakra is the crossroads where all desires and intellect converge. It is the border between human and divine consciousness, the seat of command and discernment. Intellect merely judges, while Viveka, or common sense, offers true guidance. This chakra presents profound dilemmas requiring decisive wisdom beyond logic. "Consciousness is within the energy. Energy is within the space, and space is within itself. That’s called Ananta, endless." "The border between our physical consciousness and higher consciousness: Ājñā Cakra... If we concentrate and create a knowledge or feeling toward the higher, then the Ājñā Chakra will guide us very comfortably." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path from Kali Yuga to Satya Yuga requires spiritual education and strong families. Modern education pushes humans away from spirituality, and without it, we become like animals. Religion represents the universe's unchanging principles and develops our best qualities. We must respect our elders, as serving them is divine service. The economy now consumes people, draining their energy. We must value every human being regardless of origin, fostering global brotherhood. Our short life spans are consumed by cycles from school to hospital. We must find the eternal truth within. Chanting mantras purifies our five bodily sheaths through vibration. Yoga is the father of all religions, a practice for health and spiritual alignment. True dedication requires total concentration without compromise. Every element of creation has a purpose, as illustrated by the disciple who helped create Ayurveda. We must realize our inner reality without lying to ourselves. "Without religion, humans will become again like wild animals in the forest." "Yoga is not a part of any religion. All religions are a part of yoga." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sādhanā is the essential practice for health, peace, and spiritual development. Discipline is required; neglecting it leaves one stagnant with problems. Ancient seers lived in direct relation to divine truth, and their research remains foundational. The external world has not changed, but our thinking and desires have, leading to excessive collection of possessions that harm health. Modern furnishings like carpets and sofas collect dust and cause physical ailments. Time must be utilized fully, as wasting it is a sin. The mind cannot and should not be forced to stop, as that indicates illness. Meditation must be learned from an experienced master; improper teaching leads to harm. True spiritual experience is rare and requires an open heart, not mere attendance. Practice yoga as a scientific system for two and a half hours daily for happiness and longevity. Discipline brings joy; ignorance is our enemy. "Wasting time is a sin." "Meditation must be learned from a person who has experience in meditation. Only a master can teach you meditation."

Yoga is a universal science of body, mind, and soul for health and harmony, uniting rather than dividing. It is not a dogma or sport but a practical path accessible to all, requiring consistent practice. Its widespread adoption reflects a global recognition of its benefits for individual and societal well-being. However, its essence risks dilution through commercialization and misuse without proper attribution. True practice fosters inner peace, which radiates outward, improving relationships and community. A disciplined life aligned with yoga includes self-sufficiency, like cooking and cultivation, reconnecting humans with nature. This conscious living is the foundation for transforming a troubled age into one of truth and harmony. "Yoga is a science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul." "Yoga doesn’t think of the individual only, but it thinks of the universal."

The journey with Kuṇḍalinī is endless because it leads to the endless Brahman. This divine energy guides us, but we must understand the structure of human emotion, mind, awareness, consciousness, intellect, and soul. These principles escort the individual existence to a certain border; then their duty is finished. Karma is the highest principle. Even God is bound by karma. All incarnations came to serve and to finish many karmas from many lives. Therefore, worship karma so it does not lead to trouble. Respect the principles carrying the soul, as one maintains an aeroplane for the pilot. The body's glands and plexuses form a divine network. Different chakras are associated with specific tastes: Sahasrāra is tasteless, Ājñā is sweet, Viśuddhi is sour, Anāhata is astringent, Svādhiṣṭhāna is salty, and Mūlādhāra is bitter. The heart is where God resides; love is God and has no boundary. The human intestine is long, designed for vegetarian food; eating meat can lead to difficulties. Divine treasures, like the cobra's jewel, are elusive and dissolve like hormones. Maintain humility and kindness so that love remains. "Even God has to surrender to karma." "Love is God, and God is love." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The journey from individual soul to supreme consciousness requires disciplined progression through the body and mind. The body is essential; without it, nothing is possible, so we must care for it to achieve self-realization. The mind, however, is like a restless monkey that can destroy our inner garden of peace, love, and beauty. We cannot control the mind because we have not overcome attachment, the sense of "mine." This failure stems from two inner forces: hope, which is a lifelong walking stick, and craving, a destructive thirst. These internal "cheaters"—lust, anger, greed—reside within us. You are the king of the body-city; do not become a slave to your mind and senses. When this awareness awakens, Kuṇḍalinī awakening—true self-knowledge—occurs, bringing divine contentment. The Guru's grace guides this inner realization. "Mind cannot be controlled. Do not try to kill the mind; the mind will kill you." "Mamatva hi bandhana kā kāraṇa hai—the attachment, 'It is mine.' This is the cause." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The chakras and their mantras are keys to harmonizing energy. Language divides, but truth unifies beyond it. Each chakra has a bija mantra: Sahasrara and Ajna share Om, Vishuddhi has Ham, Anahata has Yam, Manipura has Ram, Svadhisthana has Vam, and Muladhara has Lam. These sounds are heard in deep meditation as energy awakens. Tattvas are the elements within the chakras that circulate and purify karma. The highest tattva is Guru Tattva, surpassing all others. It is pure knowledge and the main function within every element. Understanding these chakras and tattvas is essential before working with Kundalini energy. The body's glands correspond to these centers, and their balance is crucial for spiritual awakening. "These mantras exert their influence in their particular areas." "The highest Tattva is the Guru Tattva." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Power of Will and Divine Grace Whatever you wish, by God’s grace, nothing is impossible. But before expressing a wish, know its nature. God fulfills all desires, good or bad. Therefore, cultivate discrimination first. Without discrimination, desire leads to suffering. A monkey wished for honey, but got a cobra and died. The wish was fulfilled, but without knowledge, it brought death. Humans often desire harmful things. Use intellect to analyze wishes before pursuing them. Spiritual wishes are certainly fulfilled by grace. Pārvatī asked Śiva for a simple teaching. Śiva replied: “I tell my own experience: devotion to God is the ultimate truth.” In Kali Yuga, repeating God’s name is the support to cross the ocean of ignorance. Willpower is a great power, but must be guided by wisdom. Energy is one, manifesting in many forms; use it wisely. With clear will and divine grace, all good is attainable.

Fear arises from ignorance and creates the karma that binds us. We are the light of the Self, yet we identify with the body and lose our true nature. Karma is not an external force but is created from our own experiences and ignorance. For example, we see a rope and mistake it for a snake, generating fear. That impression of the snake, though false, can last a lifetime. Fear resides in the subtle self, not the physical body, and weakens our confidence and strength. Stories of ghosts in graveyards persist because of our memories and attachments, not because spirits remain. Our stored fears from many lives manifest in the body, affecting glands and hormones. Loss of self-confidence disrupts these systems. Horrible dreams often stem from subconscious impressions, not direct karma. True awakening involves a healthy body and nervous system, free from the paralysis of fear. We must identify and release our fears, understanding they belong to the past. "Karma is created within our own self out of ignorance. That creates fear in us." "When fear is gone, all these karmic things are more or less gone." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Bindu Chakra is a source of nectar for spiritual practice. Understanding the body's energy is essential for committed seekers, not hobbyists. Kundalini practices are safe and pleasant. The Bindu, meaning a dot, is at the top of the head where the hair whorl is. Spiritual capacity has no gender; both are equal. Nectar is produced there, influenced by the traditional practice of tying the hair to create scalp tension. For those without hair, applying sandalwood oil works. This nectar typically flows to digestion. To receive it, the tongue must catch it via the Khechari Mudra technique, pulling the tongue back. This is a long practice; an adept demonstrated it, experiencing an intensely sweet taste and perfect health as proof. This nectar is a quality, not a quantity. Like only bees can make honey, only those with past merits and practice can attain this knowledge. We possess this potential but often cannot access it. Discipline and the guru's guidance are required to awaken this awareness and achieve rejuvenation through such techniques, not through superficial retreats. Solve problems through healthy living, not escapism like alcohol. Practice makes a master. "Bindu means a dot or a drop." "In our body, we have everything. We have nectar, but we can't use it."

The universe is manifested through sound, or Nāda, which is the resonance of creation. This primordial sound is energy, and it flows through all existence, including the human body via the cakras and glands. This energy is called Kuṇḍalinī, a complete science of body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. Kuṇḍalinī has multiple meanings: it is a pool where past karmas reside dormant, and it is a circle, representing infinity and the round nature of all energy. The fundamental geometry of existence consists of the circle, the triangle, and the right angle, which channel and purify energy. This energy holds the universe together; it is the yoga that unites and balances. Everything originates from and returns to a state of completeness, or Pūrṇa. Awakening this inner energy leads to freedom from physical, mental, and emotional suffering. "Through that resonance, energy expands. This energy flows in the cakras, in the glands."

All creation resonates with divine consciousness. Science cannot replicate nature's design, evident in a single drop of blood. Every entity contains God's life; all creatures and plants are beloved children. Experiments show plants react to care and threat, and potatoes emit vibrations of fear, proving all living beings experience it. Meditation creates an energy field connecting to the body's chakras. Yogic anatomy describes 72,000 nerves, each with its own resonance, carrying consciousness. Chakras have distinct qualities and locations from the feet to the spine, representing earthly, vegetative, animal, and human energies. Humans face a choice: to ascend or be pulled down by lower impulses. Two foundational chakras, Mūlādhāra and Svādhiṣṭhāna, are difficult to overcome, representing the border between human and animal nature. Divine energy uplifts, while opposing energy fights to pull one down. The Maṇipūra chakra is powerful, where prāṇa and apāna meet and samādhi can occur. The Anāhata chakra holds both divine love and physical passion. The Viśuddhi chakra filters energy; successful purification allows energy to rise to the Sahasrāra. Sound vibration, or Nāda, is key. It originates in the Maṇipūra, moves through the heart as Paśyantī, and manifests as Vaikharī at the vocal cords. The tongue is clever but connected to the lower chakras. Pure sound ascends through the central channel to the crown chakra, spreading resonance. This process leads to meditation. Ultimate truth is Satyam Śivam Sundaram—truth, consciousness, and beauty. This is the embodied universe. Chanting harmoniously guides awareness upward. "Prem is the divine bhakti that you can also call madhura. Madhura means sweet." "Oṃ is the seed of the universe. Out of that seed, everything is manifested." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The transition from Kali Yuga to Satya Yuga is an awakening of consciousness, rooted in divine lineage and parental duty. Our spiritual lineage is named for the Alaknanda River, the abode Alakāpurī, and the Al Capuri cave, evidenced by the miraculous Devapurījī. The shift to Satya Yuga is not destruction but a change in awareness, where mercy becomes the root of dharma and pride the root of sin. Universal worship must be projected onto parents, who are the first God. The mother's influence is paramount; her words and sattvic food shape the child's subconscious. Women hold the power to transform the age. Parents must model children rightly before the material hardens. The three glories are the virtuous woman, the saint, and the hero; the three shames are the cheater, the cruel, and the coward. Modern permissiveness spoils children; they need wisdom and love, not just wealth. A parable tells of a forest destroyed because a tree provided the handle for the axe. Our future is prepared by our current actions in raising children. "Mercy, dayā, will awake. Because dayā is the foundation, the roots, the cause of dharma." "Your children don't need your money. Your children need your wisdom. Children don't need your toys; they need your love." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The river of time flows from the sacred source, connecting all to the supreme power. We gather on Guru Pūrṇimā to take account of our spiritual year. Time does not wait; to ignore it is a sin. A farmer who neglects his field finds the birds have eaten his crop. Our life is that field, sown with good karmas of devotion and knowledge. If we do not protect them, negative qualities will destroy the harvest. Examine what has changed since last year. Have you lost your practice or devotion? What is gone cannot be caught back. We are now far out in the ocean of saṃsāra. Satsaṅg preserves, while bad association destroys like a prepared bomb. There is no shelter elsewhere in this vast expanse. You must return to the boat. Protect what remains of your life through dedicated practice and service. Make a firm resolve this day to grow in your spiritual endeavor. "Time is given to us very preciously, but why do we not respect it?" "Past time we cannot catch, even if we fly in an airplane. But what remains, we must try to save." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Guru Pūrṇimā is a remembrance of the sacred relationship between the self and the Self. This tradition honors the guru, who imparts spiritual life and guides one to the true treasure within. The disciple offers homage, and the guru gives blessings. The full moon symbolizes purity and completeness. The sun represents the Guru, the source of light. The moon reflects that light but must not mistake itself for the source. The ultimate aim is not merely to reflect the light but to merge with it. The annual celebration is a time for saṅkalpa, a resolve. One reviews the past year's spiritual commitment and makes a new vow for the year ahead. The guru's grace is vital for progress. A core saṅkalpa is to attain self-realization in this life and to return with compassion to serve humanity, helping to turn the Kali Yuga into Satya Yuga. This resolve addresses the current age, where profit drives the manipulation of essentials like food. Practical guidance includes learning to cook, growing one's own food, and moving to the countryside to preserve culture. Spiritual power is needed to transform the age. The disciple's devotion and the guru's blessing together make this possible. "The sun is a symbol of the Guru. It does not borrow its light; it has the light inside and gives the light." "Our saṅkalpa... shall be: serve, love, meditate, realize, and come into the next life as a holy saint to serve humanity and turn the Kali Yuga into Satya Yuga." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The essence of Guru Pūrṇimā is the Guru principle, which is the source of liberation. Great saints and yogis exist, their subtle bodies transparent, able to move through rock. The universe is composed of space, energy, and consciousness, a trinity harmonized by Yoga. Among the six principles—earth, water, fire, air, space, and consciousness—one is the Guru Tattva. Liberation comes solely from the Guru's blessing and mercy. The Guru is the bliss of Brahman, the supreme reality within. The Guru possesses equal vision for all disciples, seeing the one unmoving reality in everyone. Worldly desires and problems are the confusion of saṃsāra, without ultimate sense. The sun gives life, yet one cannot illuminate the sun; similarly, one must recognize the source. "Liberation, mokṣa, comes from the blessing of the Guru." "The Guru loves his disciples equally. The problem is that the disciples have a problem."

The practice of inner and outer yoga is essential. Outer yoga is social conduct and self-confidence, beginning with the awareness of being human to prevent inhuman acts. A human should not kill; adopting a vegetarian lifestyle avoids causing animal suffering, whose fear enters our bodies. A human is born as a protector, containing divine energy to be awakened. Inner and outer yoga must balance. Yoga is skill in action; positive actions yield positive results. Make the resolve that your existence is service to all. Inner yoga requires careful self-observation without temptation. The aim is to become one with God. Obstacles include impurities, distractions, and the veil, as well as the three fires of suffering: from the physical world, from human conflicts, and from astral-rooted illness. Prayer is the remedy. The five prevalent demons are passion, anger, greed, attachment, and ego. Cultivate opposing divine qualities: righteousness, compassion, devotion, knowledge, renunciation, and detachment. Greed leads to ruin; do not depend on others. Perform outer discipline to subdue the negative forces and awaken the positive ones. "Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam—yoga is skill in action." "Śuk diyā śuk hot hai, duk diyā duk hoī. If you give happiness to every creature, you will receive positive treatment in return."

Yoga is not merely postures and breath control; it is the disciplined path to inner peace. Physical practice maintains the body, which is essential as the vessel for inner work. Daily discipline in mantra, meditation, and service is a necessary duty amidst life's obligations. True progress requires loyalty to the teachings and understanding their essence, not just intellectual knowledge. Many fail by not realizing the Master's truth or by rejecting advice meant for their growth. The path involves both outer practice (Bahiraṅga Yoga) and inner practice (Antaraṅga Yoga). Inner development confronts obstacles like impurity, distraction, and ego, cultivating qualities like compassion and knowledge. Subtle inner energy is stronger than the physical. True achievement comes from inner awareness and consistent practice, not theory alone. "Give advice and knowledge to those who can accept and digest it." "By repeating the name of God, our sins will be destroyed... like when we walk back and forth on a path, grass will not grow there." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The practice of Khatu Pranam integrates physical postures with holistic well-being. The blissful posture, Ananda Asana, is for relaxation without fear. Research into posture names reveals their origins in nature. The sequence draws inspiration from a place known for its colorful, cool stones and an atmosphere of communal harmony. This practice was developed and refined over decades. Specific postures strengthen the back and abdominal muscles and improve circulation. The practice benefits the respiratory system and enhances immunity by affecting the relevant energy channel. Regular practice reduces muscular stiffness and promotes a stress-free life. It harmonizes body, mind, and intellect, leading to greater self-awareness and peace. Consistent personal experimentation with the sequence is encouraged to observe its comprehensive effects. "Ānanda means bliss. Ānanda means happiness. Ānanda means pleasure. Ānanda means without tension." "Kaṭhūpraṇām has a very positive effect on the body. Physical, mental, social, and spiritual, which bring calmness and peace."

The foundation of spiritual life rests upon four pillars: nourishment, environment, conduct, and contemplation. What you consume shapes your mind, for food transforms into the energy that guides thought. Therefore, eat consciously. Your environment must be peaceful to allow regeneration; avoid places with sound pollution and distraction that agitate the mind. Your behavior should be respectful and kind. Your contemplation must be purified, for the mind's fluctuations are the obstacle. A calm environment and sattvic nourishment lead to calm speech and mind. Desire is itself a suffering and creates disease. True spiritual education is a living, continuous flow from master to disciple, not a static doctrine. We gather here to recharge through meditation and positive connection, mastering the senses so the intellect, not the tongue, makes our decisions. "Āhāra means the diet, whatever we eat, because every kind of food has its speciality." "Therefore, āhāra and vihāra: where we should go and where we should not go." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Yoga is a holistic science for achieving moksha, or absolute freedom from all bondage. The International Day of Yoga, celebrated globally, promotes a common protocol including prayer, asanas, pranayama, and meditation, aiming for universal welfare. Yoga's goal is not merely physical health but infinite bliss, knowledge, and power. This is pursued through four main paths. Jnana Yoga is the path of intellect to realize the Self. Raja Yoga, or Ashtanga Yoga, is the path of willpower through eight limbs leading to samadhi. Bhakti Yoga is the path of mastering emotions through sublimation, not suppression, transforming base desires into selfless love. Karma Yoga is the path of detached action, performing duties without attachment to results by maintaining inner silence. All actions, propelled by the three gunas—tamas, rajas, and sattva—must be purified. The essence is to act from a state of inner peace, seeing non-action in action, making yoga a way of life. This collective practice can transform society through renunciation and service. "Yoga is a way of life. Yoga is a science of holistic living." "You have the right to action alone, never to its fruits. Do all actions unattached." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Yoga is the union of the individual soul with the supreme consciousness. This principle is as ancient as existence itself, not merely a practice of postures or breath. A significant global recognition occurred with the United Nations declaring an International Day of Yoga. This marks a pivotal moment, said to signify the end of a dark age and the dawn of an enlightened era. The essential work now is to live yoga in every thought and action, spreading this consciousness worldwide. All techniques are merely paths leading to that ultimate union. The cohesive force that binds the universe and the elements within the body is that same yoga. True understanding comes not from solitary effort but through the guidance of the tradition and the guru's grace. Disregarding this lineage leads to failure, while following it leads to the goal. "Yoga is that which is joined. The jīvātmā and paramātmā were separated due to ignorance. Through yoga, they become one again." "Gurur brahmā gurur viṣṇu gurur devo maheśvaraḥ, gurur sākṣāt paraṁ brahma tasmai śrī gurave namaḥ." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Yoga is the foundational culture arising from sacred practices. The primordial sound Om, present in all traditions, is the source of creation and the essence of yoga. This universal science unites the individual with the cosmic self. Culture is built from these spiritual impressions, which protect the family, society, and world. India is the cradle of this dharma, given freely to all. True practice surpasses theory; one must embody the teachings. The current age sees a loss of these cultural foundations while others adopt them. Yoga is not mere physical posture but disciplined action and mental practice. Intellectual education begins in the parental lap, not through devices, for children inherit their parents' spiritual impressions. Nourishment dictates consciousness; a vegetarian life is essential for environmental protection, peace, and purifying the subtle body. Many commercial distortions of yoga exist, requiring discernment. Uphold culture through pure conduct, diet, recreation, and thought. "From impressions comes culture, and from culture comes the protection of the family, society, and world." "As is the food, so is the mind. As is the water you drink, so will be your speech."

Yoga should become an integral part of everyday life. Ancient India developed profound knowledge of the world and the self. Yoga is a path requiring intellectual understanding, practical application, and direct experience of the results. Its practice, including chanting which deepens the breath, should be realized in all actions and interactions. A tradition of teaching this system has been established for decades. Events celebrating this path bring people together in practice and community, fostering awareness and personal well-being. "I have been practicing yoga in my daily life for the second year now. It is a lifestyle I truly enjoy." "It is a good feeling to be doing something for oneself. It brings a good mood and lifts a person up." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

Yoga is a cultural heritage that calms the restless mind and moves one forward on the path of world peace. It is not merely exercise but a practice developed through the human body, mind, and soul. International recognition formalized its global celebration. The practice begins with loosening exercises to increase microcirculation and release tension. Proceeding through standing, sitting, prone, and supine postures, each asana brings specific benefits for stability, flexibility, and health. The session culminates in complete relaxation and prāṇāyāma to purify energy channels and induce tranquility. One should always avoid postures beyond personal limits or during specific health conditions. "Yoga takes away the stress of a stressed person and makes him stress-free." "The main purpose of this Prāṇāyāma is to purify the principal channels of energy."

The universe is the body of the Divine Mother, holding the supreme consciousness like a golden embryo within an egg. The divine energy of yoga harmonizes the mother and the child. The primordial will is expressed in the Vedic declaration, "I am one, and now I will multiply." This creative impulse resonates as the sacred sound Oṁ, generating the elements and the trinity of manifestor, protector, and creator. Countless souls are created from this resonance, descending through cycles of time called Yugas. Human life is the final milestone among 8.4 million life forms. The human body, a network of 72,000 channels, is governed by three principal nerves controlling emotion, activity, and consciousness. The purpose is to realize one's origin through ethical living and spiritual practice, breaking the cycle of rebirth. "Eko’haṁ bahusyāmi. I am one, and now I will multiply." "The human life is the last milestone. If we make mistakes, we will fall down again and go through this cycle." Filming location: Mexico
