Inner functions of the Human

The light of God is within every being, granting all creatures the same capacity for feeling, pain, and love. Humans possess no inherent superiority. We must treat all entities equally and support them. Our human experience is governed by ten senses: five for gathering knowledge and five for taking action. The mind is an eleventh sense, a neutral governor that records all experience. Consciousness has levels: unconscious, subconscious, and conscious. Unfulfilled desires descend from the conscious to the subconscious and may manifest as disturbances. The science of spiritual practice purifies these levels of consciousness. A mantra acts as a protective light, dispelling the darkness of past actions and preventing new negativity, guiding the journey toward higher awareness. "Treat all equally. Love each and every entity as much as you love yourself." "The mind is like the film in a camera. Every movement is being filmed, and it is very neutral." Filming location: Mexico

Yoga is union

Yoga is the ancient science of unifying body, mind, and consciousness. It existed before any religion was named. The goal is union with the divine, realizing the individual soul is part of the Supreme. This understanding has developed through the ages. Many now approach yoga only as physical exercise, but its true purpose is for good health, peace, and achieving the human goal. The practice culminates in meditation, where one finds what is sought. Different religions have divided people, but all must ultimately pass through the same gate. That gate is sacrifice. To serve the community through yoga is a form of this sacrifice. The recent international recognition of yoga helps protect its true meaning from commercialization and misunderstanding. True practice requires humility and spirituality, not ego from position or power. "Yoga means union—union with God." "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice."

Program from Vienna

Sādhanā is the disciplined practice that sustains spiritual development. Exercise makes one a master; daily practice is essential. Without discipline, the thread breaks and is difficult to rejoin. The thread of love must not be severed by small misunderstandings. Life is a divine sign, and love is forgiveness. Intellect is an empty slate; what is written upon it with attention and grace gives it value. Negative writings are harmful. Relationships with nature and others must not be broken, for a broken thread forms a knot, an obstacle. Positive thoughts and feelings are needed to digest and transform all into the positive. When unable to perform personal sādhanā, selfless service, or sevā, is a powerful alternative. However, one who constantly accepts service takes on the helper's karma, making their path harder. True purification and achievement come through sevā and satsaṅg—the holy gathering that leads from darkness to light. In this age, real satsaṅg is rare. It is the boat to cross the ocean of illusion. A spiritual person, like a lake or a fruit tree, shares wisdom selflessly. Through correct sādhanā, humility awakens in consciousness, revealing true wisdom without selfish declaration. The wheel of time always turns; good and bad times alternate. Dedicate time to spiritual practice and community. "Rahiman dhāgā prem kā, mat todo chitkāi. Tūtā phir jūḍe nahīṁ, jūḍe gaṁṭh paḍe jāi."

Awake your hidden talents

The primary talent is awareness, and the foundational law is non-violence. Without awareness, talents are misdirected. Non-violence is essential mercy; to violate it is a sin that generates fear. This fear is not abstract. Scientific experiments demonstrate that plants emit distress signals when harmed, and animals experience shared fear across distances. This energy of fear and violence enters the food chain. Consuming flesh imbued with the terror of slaughter introduces fear-based hormones into our own systems, affecting mental and physical health. Therefore, one must be uncompromising in the quality of one's consumption and actions. Purification is achieved through conscious living and meditation. Awaken the talents of compassion, forgiveness, and understanding. Suppress the talents of anger, hatred, and cruelty. Do not celebrate perfection prematurely; humility is essential. The body is a temple. Pray for nourishment without harm and for forgiveness for all creatures. "Every creature has a fear of harmful tools." "If you eat, for example, meat, ask yourself from where it comes, how it comes."

Human being is miraculous - Yoga Practice

Human qualities are awakened through yoga and conscious awareness. Immense energy and talent lie dormant within the human body. These capacities must be activated correctly, like selecting the proper gear in a machine. Upon waking, one should express gratitude, acknowledging the gift of consciousness. This simple act awakens positive energy and human awareness. Human qualities like mercy and forgiveness are not dormant but resting deep within, activated by thought and intention. Yoga is the science to activate these positive energies, liberating the soul toward the inner Supreme light. The elements and the universe are mirrored within the body; only the mind has changed. Human life is divine and meant for the protection of all creatures. Practice strengthens the inner will, allowing one to walk toward truth without support. The three guṇas—sattva, rajas, and tamas—must be balanced within us. Sattva represents purity, rajas activity, and tamas inertia. All are necessary; one cannot function with purity alone. Earn resources, but use surplus for humanitarian and environmental purposes. Practice correct, quality yoga to refine oneself and move as pure light. "Humans have the talent of mercy, forgiveness, and understanding. When there is a fire, we should try to put it out, not add fuel." "Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness. The energy, the result of yoga, is to liberate the soul and enter into Ātmā Jñāna, the light of the Supreme."

Aim of the life

The aim of life is to achieve self-knowledge, yet humans suffer from their own ignorance. Intellect can create immense problems from mistaken perceptions. A guest was told a house contained a ghost; fear paralyzed him in the night. Many attempted exorcisms failed. A wise person entered with a light, revealing only hanging laundry. The ghost was born from a whispered suggestion and vanished with knowledge. Another story tells of a boy captured by a demon. The boy learned from the demon that God decreed no one could harm him for 105 years. Using this knowledge as a weapon, the boy threatened the demon with fire and escaped. We are that innocent boy, trapped by carelessness. The dangers we face are like that demon. When willpower arises, fear dissolves and we are free. The soul is immortal; only the body dies. We carry our karma like a backpack; it shapes our destiny. Destiny is written, yet performing good karma now can change the future. We cannot escape our karma; we must face it. Therefore, wake up and change your destiny through good actions and following the Guru's word. Liberate your ancestors and connected souls. Disciples must remain united in strength, like five fingers forming a fist. Words hold great power; use them wisely. "From where did the ghost come? The ghost came from blackmailing." "You cannot kill me; God said so." Filming location: Mexico

Questions and Answers from Mexico

True service is the highest spiritual duty. Service is of two kinds: selfish service, performed for material gain, and selfless service, done solely for spiritual development. Serve every entity to help alleviate suffering. All holy places exist for this purpose. God weighed liberation against service and found service greater. Thus, divine beings incarnate to perform selfless help. A disciple's primary request should not be for worldly things but for the blessing of true satsaṅg—association with truth and positive, divine company. One must also ask for unwavering spiritual practice, the removal of doubts and impurities, and for the divine name to be synchronized with every breath. If service to God is not accepted directly, then serve God's devotees. Serving and respecting fellow disciples without jealousy is service to the Guru. Ego and criticism of others extinguish devotion and bring fear and anger. Dedicate your life to conveying the divine message without weariness. "Helping hands have more value than folded hands." "If you do not accept my service directly, then let me serve your servant." Filming location: Mexico

Forgiveness, Kindness and Mercy

Mercy is the root of dharma and the essential inner talent to awaken. Human life possesses a distinct talent called mercy, dayā. This quality is the foundation of all duty and religion, while ego is the root of sin. Cultivating mercy leads to forgiveness and kindness, lifting consciousness. Anger and pride create suffering and internal conflict. Spiritual progress requires consistent practice to awaken this inherent compassion. All creatures share the divine light, yet humans have the intellect to choose mercy. This choice determines one's freedom and happiness. The journey involves opening the heart through awareness and devotion. "Dayā dharam kā mūla hai, pāpa mūla abhimāna." (Mercy is the root of dharma, ego is the root of sin.) "Tulsī dayā na chhoḍīye, jab laga ghaṭame prāṇa." (Tulsī, never abandon mercy as long as you have life.) Filming location: Alexandria, Virgina, USA

Inner Talents

Inner confidence is the foundation for awakening our latent talents. Without full confidence, we cannot discover or realize our abilities. Half-belief is insufficient; we must have complete trust, like the climber who could not let go when told to by God. Uncertainty is a hidden fear that arises from lack of experience. We develop through practice, not by constantly changing paths like the disciple who dug many wells but found no water. A master or parent can guide, but we must do the work ourselves. Our dormant talents and energies lie within various centers of our being. Awakening them requires inspiration, clear desire, and steady practice in one direction, not hurried seeking which leads to confusion. Realization is the fruit of a lifelong journey. "If you had dug for seven days in the same place, we would already have nice drinking water here." "Unless we have one hundred percent confidence in ourselves, half-half, it will not help."

Quality Unites

Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, and soul, bringing harmony and health beyond man-made divisions. It is an eternal, universal path. The practice awakens inner discipline and connects us to a timeless lineage of seers and masters. True joy is not the temporary pleasure of the senses, which brings more suffering than happiness. Lasting bliss, Sat-cit-ānanda, comes from realizing one's true nature as pure consciousness. Every action creates a reaction, weaving our destiny through the energy we exchange with the world. We must live with purity, like a lotus in muddy water, without renouncing the world but by awakening the divine within. "Yoga is a science. When yoga was there, there were no different man-made religions. There was only one, called the eternal, universal, cosmic unity: Sanātana Dharma." "On each grain is written the name of the person or the animal who will eat it. And when it is in Harkishmat, you cannot take it away."

The Destiny

Our body is a divine energy system of chakras, and destiny is recorded within it. Chakras are energy centers connecting consciousness, space, and energy. The body is an indescribable creation; it transforms food into life in a way no machine can. Our destiny is the fruit of past actions, recorded in our energy field like an unerasable line on stone. We cannot delete it, but through spiritual practice, we can rise above it. The Ājñā Chakra, or third eye, when opened, grants vision of past, present, and future. Negative energies—Kāma, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Ahaṅkāra—arise from the lower chakras and bind us. These must be replaced with positive qualities: Tyāga, Vairāgya, Bhakti, Jñāna, and Viveka. A practice like Pañcāmṛta—a mixture of milk, yogurt, butter, honey, and pure water—used in worship, can help purify energy and balance the chakras. Following a master's guidance can help monitor and navigate destiny, though not erase it. The aim is to realize the oneness of all consciousness. "Destiny is a line on the stone. We can't delete it." "When we realize the oneness, then there is no difference between God and us, because it's the same energy, the same space." Filming location: New York, USA

The way how yoga is helping us

The human body is a vehicle for attaining liberation, requiring purification of three primary obstacles: impurities, disturbances, and ignorance. The soul descends through cycles of birth among 8.4 million life forms, with human birth being a rare opportunity. The intellect is a powerful tool to discover hidden powers within the 72,000 nerves, particularly the four principal ones governing health, emotion, activity, and consciousness. Two fundamental forces, divine and negative, constantly interact within, influenced by time and place. The chakras represent rotating energies, with the foundational Mūlādhāra Chakra housing unconscious consciousness and past, present, and future potentials. Impurities—physical, mental, and emotional—must be cleansed through Haṭha Yoga techniques, which balance emotion and intellect. Disturbances are restless thoughts and waves that prevent clear perception and meditation. Ignorance is a curtain over consciousness, removed through attentive listening in silent spiritual gatherings. The inner instrument consists of mind, intellect, memory, and ego, influenced by the three qualities of harmony, activity, and inertia. These qualities stem from diet, society, and habits. True progress requires mastering speech and action, understanding that the world is transient, and seeking the ultimate truth beyond it. "Brahma-satya jagat-mithyā. The Brahman, the supreme God, which has no form, no name, but still He is there. He is omniscient and omnipresent. That is the final truth." "Before you speak, think it over. Don't say always that I am right and I am right." Filming location: New York, USA

Enlightment

The journey to self-realization involves awakening the chakras and understanding karma. Life is a journey clarified through meditation, a key to the Self. Creation began from void space, Śūnyākāśa, containing consciousness and Śakti, the mother power. The Vedas state consciousness declared, "I am one, and now I will multiply," initiating resonance, sound, and light. This light manifests as souls, with 8.4 million life forms, humans being one. Humans possess intellect shaped by culture and parental education. Karma is action through body, mind, words, and social position; every action has a reaction. While karma is in our hands, its consequences become destiny. Positive actions multiply good destiny, dispelling negative karma like light removes darkness, leading to enlightenment. The biggest barrier is attachment, which brings suffering, unlike love which brings freedom. Duty must be fulfilled without attachment. Humans must ask: who am I, where do I come from, and where will I go? Answers come by awakening the Ājñā Chakra, the third eye of knowledge. The soul is immortal and reincarnates; self-realization ends this cycle. All beings are the Self; love them as yourself. This human life is the last milestone to unite with cosmic consciousness. The body has chakras and 72,000 nerves, with three main nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā—balancing emotion and intellect. Purifying these centers through practice leads to divine consciousness. "Life is a journey, not a destination, and that journey becomes very clear for us through meditation." "Where there is attachment, there is suffering. And where there is love, there is freedom."

The rising Sun is welcomed by everyone

The setting sun symbolizes life's twilight, yet a tiny lamp promises enduring light. Everyone praises the rising sun, but few honor the setting sun. A poet watched the sunset, feeling the sun's sorrow for the world it would leave in darkness. Then he heard a temple bell and saw a tiny flame. The lamp promised the sun it would remain burning, offering a light against the dark. This lamp is our own being: the body is the holder, our energy is the oil, and the wick is the self that burns with wisdom and hope. Never give up hope, for it is a walking stick from cradle to grave. Aging is not decline but achievement; gray hair signifies wisdom gained. The elderly are like holy places, their words and blessings wholly fruitful. The body asks for care in later years, as each organ has served loyally. Life sends notices of aging and illness; these are warnings not to be ignored. Spiritual practice is the essential support throughout life's journey, guiding the soul even after death.

Practicing Yoga Asanas

We practice Vajrāsana and Vīrāsana for the nāḍī systems. Vajrāsana activates the Vajra Nāḍī, which begins between the big and second toe, connects to the base of the spine, and guides energy to the navel. Sitting in it after eating aids digestion and can help with constipation by relaxing the stomach and straightening the spine. It also balances the sciatic nerve. Vīrāsana, the hero's posture, involves sitting on the heels with toes standing. It warms the body, increases alertness, and with practice, can help repair digestion and headaches. These postures strengthen the lower centers and foot soles, which connect to the body's organs. They develop leg strength, balance, and concentration. Practice must be held steadily to awaken the nerves. "This Vajrāsana is designed especially to strengthen or to activate that Vajra Nāḍī." "This will repair our digestion. This will repair our headache problems, also many, many things." Filming location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA

A Guided Relaxation and Movement Sequence

A guided relaxation and movement practice for the body and mind. Begin by relaxing the entire body, noticing external sounds. Move the fingers, then systematically engage the hands, wrists, and arms through opening, closing, and rotation. Rub the palms together and place them on the face. Bend forward to touch the forehead to the floor, feeling the stretch and circulation in the back, neck, and throughout the body. Slowly return to an upright position with the hands' assistance. "Relax your entire body, from the toes to the top of the head, and from the top of the head down to the toes."

Awakening of Chakras

The path of awakening involves Kuṇḍalinī and the chakras, discovered through meditation. Mantra purifies karma and guides destiny. Yoga is the science of body, mind, and soul. Humans possess developed consciousness to uncover hidden talents, much like learning to drive awakens an innate ability. Various masters teach different techniques, but the destination is one. There are two kinds of masters: Lakṣaratī, who has realized the destination and guides experientially, and Vācaratī, who offers only intellectual knowledge. The three guṇas—sattva, rajas, tamas—affect the body and mind. Systems like Ayurveda treat individuals based on their nature, balancing the physical and subtle bodies. Chakras are connected to endocrine glands and nerves, maintaining bodily balance. Kuṇḍalinī is the dormant feminine energy at the base of the spine. Its awakening involves uniting prāṇa and apāna to rise through the chakras. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the foundation, containing past karmas. One must be like a lotus, remaining pure and detached amidst worldly problems. "Tons of theory is nothing compared to a grain of practice." "Be like a lotus above everything."

The Journey Beyond Duality: Life, Self, and the Path to Oneness

Life is a journey beyond duality toward the oneness of the Self. Two primal energies exist: the divine power leading to liberation and the negative power. The true Self, the Ātmā, is immortal and beyond these dualities, karma, and the cycle of life and death. The individual soul, however, experiences this duality. To transcend it, one must balance the inner energies. The practice of yoga is this union. The body is governed by three qualities: purity, activity, and inertia. These are influenced by lifestyle and nourishment. We perceive through five senses of knowledge and act through five senses of action. Life force, or Prāṇa, flows through channels in the body. Harmonizing the lunar and solar channels through breath leads to balance. True Haṭha Yoga consists of six purification techniques for inner health. Energy centers, or chakras, exist within the body, from the earthly base to the divine crown. Activating the highest center can lead to profound spiritual awakening. The soul's final exit reflects the quality of one's life and consciousness. "Dharma rakṣita rakṣitaha. If you protect your dharma, dharma will protect you."

Eternal Journey of the Soul

The eternal journey is the awakening of consciousness through kuṇḍalinī. Kuṇḍalinī is the awakening of bliss and consciousness, occurring when the cosmic energy within the body is purified and directed upward. The five cakras of normal existence are along the spine, and three divine cakras are above it toward the crown. Yoga practices like prāṇāyāma and meditation harmonize these centers, yet a spiritual master's guidance is essential. The guru removes the darkness of ignorance. Our reality is the immortal ātmā, the eternal light of God which cannot be destroyed. We exist within cycles of time and karma, where every action becomes destiny. The individual self longs to merge with its universal origin. Through disciplines like samādhi, one can transcend individual consciousness. This requires detachment, for attachment breeds fear. The human intellect is a powerful tool to awaken inner talents through dedicated practice under one guidance. Life is a journey of realizing this potential to escape the cycles of birth and death. "The awakening of the kuṇḍalinī means the awakening of bliss." "The guru means the remover of darkness."

Sanathan Dharma and Religion

Yoga is an ancient path predating all named religions. The eternal cosmic order, Sanātana Dharma, emphasizes harmony with nature and all beings, centered on one formless divine reality. This truth has been expressed through various divine messengers and incarnations across time, each giving rise to different religious traditions based on their teachings and example. All authentic paths share core universal principles. The highest principle is non-violence—avoiding harm to any creature through thought, word, or deed. This includes not stealing, which extends beyond material theft to taking intellectual or emotional property. True spirituality involves selfless service, love for all neighbors in creation, and inner purification. Religious forms and formless worship are both valid; the form is a support leading to the formless. The essence of religion is recognizing our eternal relation to the divine, which dwells equally in all life. "Go only to four houses. Five houses. He always went to ask for food at only five houses."

Exercises for activating Svadisthan Chakra

The Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra is practiced through specific postures to awaken and harmonize its energy. Cakras are energy centers influencing the body, breath, glands, and mind. Their harmonization leads to a healthy life. The second cakra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, is located above the Mūlādhāra. Its positive energy develops willpower and aids digestion. Its negative aspect manifests as ego, envy, doubt, and laziness. Practice removes these negatives. Postures like Bhujaṅgāsana and Śalabhāsana target these cakras. Movements must be slow to increase awareness. These exercises strengthen the back, aid digestion, and influence glandular function. A balanced practice harmonizes the entire system. "The positive is to develop the willpower called Icchā Śakti and Kriyā Śakti." "This posture, Bhujaṅgāsana, is to remove our ego, remove our doubts, remove our laziness, and remove our envy."

Exercises for harmonizing Muladhar Chakra

Yoga is a gentle practice for awakening energy through the body, breath, and mind. Modern life creates tension, especially in the shoulders and digestion, by exceeding the body's capacity. The body requires slow, conscious movements, not stress or competition. Practices like Tai Chi demonstrate the harmony of body, mind, and concentration. Quick exercises confuse muscles and disrupt the breath, which is the soul of yoga. Slow movement allows circulation, glandular function, and joint energy to improve while the mind coordinates with the body. This gentle practice develops concentration, releases tension, and fosters happiness, beginning the journey of self-knowledge. Yoga is peace and harmony within, enabling one to work for world peace. "Yoga begins with the breath, and achievement is through the breath." "Yoga does not want to have competition... yoga is peace, harmony, and happiness with oneself."

Love and Spirituality

The path to immortality is spiritual, not physical, and human life is the final chance to achieve it. Physical immortality is impossible under natural law; what is born must die. True immortality is the soul merging into the supreme Brahman, becoming everlasting Ātmā. This is difficult, taking many births. The soul is bound by karma, creating destiny through action and reaction. Human life is the last milestone to escape this cycle and achieve oneness. Spirituality is not merely ritual; it is 24-hour purity in all action, thought, and behavior. It means seeing God in everyone, living with compassion, and harming no one. The human intellect, properly educated in fundamental dharma and human qualities, is key. Life's real richness is contentment and generosity, not material wealth. True spirituality is expressed in selfless love and kindness to all creatures. Yogic science describes the body's energy systems, like the 72,000 nāḍīs and key channels like Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā, which can be balanced through gentle practices for health and consciousness. "Spirituality is 24 hours. Whatever we do should be pure: eating, drinking, behaviour, working, relations, etc." "Do not do to others what you do not like to do for yourself."

Levels of Consciousness

Kriyā Śakti—the power of action—unites will and effort, but ego misdirects it. Emotional waves move from subtle to physical body, and illness manifests long after its unseen origin. Passion in Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra generates ego, envy, doubt, and finally laziness, destroying progress. Keep sādhanā unbroken; changing path severs the thread holding all spiritual pearls. One thing mastered grants mastery of all; trying everything scatters effort. Greed and envy, like the dog grasping at its reflection, lose what is already attained. Pour all effort at the root—the foundational practice—not on scattered leaves. The unconscious holds imprints of at least twenty-seven past lives, doubled through parents, an endless chain. Liberation comes only through guru’s grace (Mokṣa Mūlaṁ Guru Kṛpā) and the cosmic play of creation, preservation, and destruction. Subconscious conditioning starts at the soul’s descent from the astral, through womb and birth, influenced by parental reactions. The body is divine; torturing it is a sin. In meditation, observe senses and thoughts without suppression, gently returning them when they stray—this is Nigraha, Dhāraṇā, Dhyāna. Mudrās are wordless gestures; bandhas are locks that tie energy. Mūlabandha is not muscle contraction but holding with sensation of ascending energy. Jālandhara and Uḍḍīyāna bandhas, combined with Mūlabandha into Mahābandha, unite prāṇa and apāna at the navel, awakening kuṇḍalinī. Mastery of Vajrolī, Amarolī, and Khecarī mudrās confers perfect haṭha yoga and longevity. True Kriyā Śakti in Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra is the continuous inner vibration of energy, not passive sitting.

The Law of Karma and the Sanctity of All Life

The law of karma demands reverence for all life. Killing an animal creates severe karmic debt, as it inflicts suffering on an innocent being and interrupts the life given by God. For every creature you consume, you must be reborn as that creature and suffer the same death. This cycle is a long and certain justice. Spiritual practice is nullified by eating meat. The only path to purify such karma is through satsaṅg and the guidance of a true master. A master is one who loves all entities as oneself and would give his own life rather than take another's. Practice diligently and never miss satsaṅg, for it is the means to cleanse past actions and awaken consciousness. The Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra, associated with water and the color of dawn, represents flowing energy and the hope for awakening. Its six petals symbolize the obstacles of anger, hate, greed, jealousy, cruelty, and laziness which must be purified. "How many fish you ate, that many times you have to be born as a fish and caught by a hook." "If you miss the satsaṅg, you have missed a big chance." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

Blessing can change Destiny

Yoga is the practical principle of union and harmony, given from the original source. Imitation creates division and error. Yoga is the unifying energy, Shakti, between universal form and consciousness. Coming together is yoga; separation is vyoga. Yet in both union and separation, only oneness exists. God resides not in specific places but where devotees remember with love. Yoga is the power of inseparable union. Those who taste its fruit prioritize this path; others search uncertainly. Destiny is written at birth by Vidhātā and cannot be deleted. Action is in one's hands, but its fruit is not. Past actions become present destiny, reflected upon the forehead. Blessings, particularly from selfless giving, can alter this recorded fate. Persistent love and devotion ultimately draw the divine presence. "Yog means coming together, and vyog means separation. When you come together, it is oneness, no duality." "I live there where my bhaktas, my devotees, remember and sing my name with devotion, with love." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

Supporters on the Spiritual Path

The path from the Mūlādhāra to the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra is about mastering foundational qualities and overcoming obstacles. Human life offers the unique intellect to transcend the cycle of birth and death dictated by karma. Spiritual practice is not just meditation but cultivating inner qualities like humility, kindness, and forgiveness. The five primary obstacles are passion, anger, greed, attachment, and ego. To defeat them, one must develop five spiritual techniques: detachment, renunciation, devotion, right knowledge, and mercy. These qualities reside in the heart. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the solid foundation of spiritual longing. The Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra, associated with the water element and emotions, presents six new obstacles: anger, hate, greed, jealousy, cruelty, and laziness. Its energy is powerful but can be destructive if not mastered with the positive qualities. Awakening higher consciousness requires harmonizing these elements within. "Love each and every entity, if not more, then that much, as much as you love thyself." "The roots of dharma is mercy, and the roots of sin is ego." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

Chakra Meditation (2/2)

The Kuṇḍalinī is the bundle of past karmas and destiny, controlled by the cosmic Śakti within all. Its seat is the Mūlādhāra Cakra at the spine's base. Purification dissolves negative energies like light dispels darkness. Physical impurities are temporary, but mental waves create complications. The practice involves specific postures and breath-aware contraction of the perineum, known as Aśvinī Mudrā. This generates an ascending energy, harmonizing the gland systems and consciousness. Self-realization transcends the intellect's conflicts, resulting in pure, humble consciousness. Human mistakes carry greater weight due to endowed consciousness. The continuity of mastery is the Sanātana Dharma paramparā. "The Kuṇḍalinī is that bundle of all our karmas from the past, our destiny." "Physical impurity is not difficult to purify and will not follow us into the next life." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

Kundalini and Chakras: Awakening the Hidden Powers

Kundalini and chakras represent the awakening of hidden powers within. The cosmic energy is the Divine Mother. The human body contains immense divine energy for well-being and self-realization. It is composed of five elements, senses, prāṇas, and 72,000 nerve channels. The main chakras are located along the spinal column, governing the flow of this energy. The body has five sheaths: physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and blissful. Human life rests on four aims: duty, wealth, desire, and liberation. There are negative qualities like passion and anger, to be used sparingly like salt. Positive energies to awaken are devotion, detachment, knowledge, sacrifice, and liberation. The internal organ consists of mind, intellect, and ego, connected to impurities, disturbances, and the curtain of ignorance. The Suṣumṇā channel connects to the crown chakra. The body is a holy temple. Chakra meditation involves relaxing and feeling the spine, illuminating each cell with divine energy. "These five qualities, which appear as negative, are in a certain way for our own protection and survival. Just like salt in your food." "Treat thy body as holy. Relax and feel your body. Love your body. Love your life."

The place where the past is hidden

The human body is a system of dormant energy and consciousness centered in the chakras. The Ātmā is one with the formless Supreme, whose light is within all. The physical body is one of five layered sheaths. Energy flows through 72,000 nerves, primarily through Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. Where Iḍā and Piṅgalā intersect along the spine, energy circles form a chakra, a storehouse of dormant power. These nadis connect to eight major glands governing hormones and health. Blockages in these three principal nadis can cause severe physical and energetic disturbances. The Mūlādhāra Chakra at the base of the spine holds past karmas and desires, representing the unconscious mind and the border between animal and human consciousness. Its principle is ego, and its imbalance manifests as physical ailments. Mastery of sleep, breath, and purification practices is essential to awaken this latent energy and consciousness. "Chakras are given their name because energy always moves in a circle." "All past karmas, good or bad, all desires, are dormant, hidden in the Mūlādhāra Cakra." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

Dharma and Karma

Yoga is the eternal path to self-realization, a source of endless knowledge beyond mere postures. The universal Self, or light of God, dwells within all beings, yet we are blinded by illusion. Human life aims to return to this origin, guided by dharma and bound by karma. Education from parents teaches spiritual principles, while worldly knowledge is far from the divine light. Space and consciousness are balanced in perfect oneness through yoga. Our duty is to help others and all creatures, for harming them is harming the light within them. Purification comes through discipline, meditation, and sattvic food, awakening the dormant energies within. "Yoga is like a forever milky cow. Every day it gives you new milk, fresh milk."

Chakras, Nadis and Kundalini

Chakras are rotating circles of energy within the body, representing major energy centers. They are symbolic, not literal anatomical structures. Thousands exist at the junctions of the nāḍīs, the body's nerve network. This system exists for the soul's journey, supported by five bodily sheaths and the five elements. The three main channels are the Iḍā (Moon, mind/emotion), Piṅgalā (Sun, action/temperament), and central Suṣumnā. Their intersections form powerful chakras, like the Viśuddhi at the throat for purification. The mind is a messenger between senses and intellect; do not block it, but give it direction. Problems arise from suppressed emotions, which can manifest as physical illness. Practices like prāṇāyāma maintain this network for health. Awakening energies like kuṇḍalinī requires great care, as improper handling can be harmful. "These chakras are a methodological representation. You will not see this exact picture if you look within your own body." "The mind is a river; we should not block it. If we block a dam, we must provide an outlet." Filming location: London, UK

The Prāṇa Body, Consciousness, and the Art of Living

The prāṇa body, consciousness, and the art of living are interconnected. Energy centers are spherical and rotating. The Sahasrāra at the crown is a primary center. Prāṇa is the vital force, with inhalation expanding the entire body and exhalation removing toxins. Prāṇa and apāna are the major functions, governing intake and elimination. Sub-prāṇas support functions like the heartbeat and eyelid movement. Consciousness operates through states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Mastering the inner systems involves the movement of prāṇa and apāna merging at the navel chakra, leading toward higher consciousness. Practice begins with the left nostril to calm the restless mind. This harmonizes mental fluctuations, leading to a tranquil state where the soul is happy and fearless. The resulting higher consciousness is a light of wisdom, happiness, and love that is formless and ever-present. Proper cooking with sāttvic food is foundational for health, purifying the body and supporting this energy. Awakening Kuṇḍalinī manifests as wisdom, inner peace amidst burdens, and improved health. It neutralizes past negative karmas. The Mūlādhāra chakra is the foundation, associated with Gaṇeśa and the earth element, from which consciousness evolves. Practice rewinds the coiled energy upward through the central channel toward divine consciousness. "Inhalation is going into the whole body. Exhalation takes all the toxins out." "Awakening of Kuṇḍalinī means that all the destinies, karmas from past life which are not good, negative, they can harm in future... awakening of Kuṇḍalinī will neutralize everything."

Help for Nepal

Compassion and selfless service are the supreme spiritual practice. A devastating calamity has struck Nepal, causing immense suffering. The global community, especially India, has provided immediate relief through funds, personnel, and rescue operations. True spirituality manifests as active compassion, seeing all beings as one family. Service to others cleanses the heart and brings profound inner peace, connecting the individual soul to the Supreme. The physical practice of yoga is valuable, but its essence is the union of body, mind, and spirit, symbolized by the sacred sound Om. This universal science of harmonization transcends all religious boundaries. "Helping hands have more value than folded hands." "Seva is the supreme Dharma. There is nothing greater than Seva."

Well-being for Body and Mind

Yoga progresses from physical discipline to spiritual realization. Body warming, dynamic movements, and stretching constitute preparatory exercise. The posture held in stillness is āsana. Prānāyāma coordinates breath with the subtle nerve network, purifying the nāḍīs by supplying prāṇa through oxygen. Spirituality requires immense discipline and purity, not idleness; it is maintained through mindful action, speech, and companionship. Food is divine prasāda; eat with gratitude, cleanliness, and silence, avoiding waste. The human body is a precious, holy instrument—the only chance in this life. Respect it, keep it healthy, and use it to help others. All humans are one race; racism is a created problem. Suffering stems from fear, which covers our peace. Know yourself, respect parents, and follow the path of discipline. "Spirituality means purity. Spirituality does not mean that whole day you sit and meditate." "Your body is a holy body, and this body is the only chance in this life." Filming location: London, UK

Chakra Meditation

Meditation focuses the awareness on breath and chakras to balance energy and purify the mind. Sit comfortably with body straight and relaxed. Be aware of your natural breath. Coordinate breath with body: inhalation expands, exhalation contracts. Bring awareness to Maṇipūra Cakra near the navel. It balances physical and mental health. Visualize the Maṇipūra Cakra. Feel it expand with inhalation and contract with exhalation. Follow breath between navel and heart. Energy flows from Maṇipūra to Anāhata on inhale and returns on exhale. Observe breath from throat to navel on inhale. Exhale from navel to throat through the mouth. Feel warm air on your lower lip. Inhale from Maṇipūra to Viśuddhi for purification. Viśuddhi releases toxins and mental tensions. Exhale through mouth, bringing tensions to throat for filtration. Leave breath-following and concentrate on the brow center, merging with yourself. "Awakening of the consciousness there balances our physical and mental health." "Viśuddhi means purification of all kinds of impurities, poison. It also means the mental block is removed—the mental pain, mental problems, mental tensions."

Regain Self- Confidence

True welcome and love flow from the heart, not just formal gestures. When four eyes meet in genuine love and respect, sixty-four blessings open as shared smiles, and seventy-two thousand bodily channels flow with love, vibrating every cell with health. Conversely, meeting with hatred or fear closes lips, cramps the nerves, kills healthy cells, and causes disease. Lost love or confidence breeds disappointment, which destroys discipline and hope. Even divine beings face disappointment, as when Brahmā's sons refused to multiply. Maintaining a home with warmth, ceremony, and satsaṅg cleanses negative energy. All creatures, from elephants to bulls, feel love, memory, and homesickness. The deepest love is for God, expressed as the burning fire of separation, viraha, a sickness only the Divine can cure. Never lose self-confidence or break another's trust; with divine protection and inner discipline, even what is lost can blossom anew. "When two eyes and your two eyes—eyes to eyes—when one meets loving friends, that is four meeting." "Where there is love, where there is respect, where there is welcoming, then when four meet together, sixty-four blessings open." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Awakening of Spring and the Inner Light

Spring awakens the inner light. Nature opens in spring, urging us to open too. We sought light in winter's darkness. The light we seek is not the sun or stars, but the inner light. Meditative light is physical, yet it points toward the indescribable Ātmajyoti, the soul's light. This light is glimpsed in sleep and dreams, where time and speed differ. To awaken, follow the Guru's words and keep company with sādhus. A sādhu lives simply, from the heart, not the intellect. Simple words carry love and grace. Engage in Satsaṅga where speech is clear for all. Spring's energy brings inner awakening and outward growth, moving through life's stages toward renunciation. All practitioners seek God within and without. Even non-belief is a form of belief. Study the meaning of life. Worldly hungers are never fulfilled; only Self-knowledge brings completeness. Perform selfless action, not laziness. Leave behind good works, not rubbish. Speak and write beautifully, for words engrave on consciousness. Do everything with love for all. Plant trees whose fruit others will enjoy. Inherit the master's spiritual quality. We build and create together, leaving a beautiful vibration as our purpose. "O my mind, repeat the name of Kṛṣṇa, the name of God. Follow the words of the Guru, steadfast in action, and associate with the saints." "Without the name of Kṛṣṇa or the name of God, everything is nothing. It is pointless." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Yoga im taglichen Leben

Human festivals cultivate our positive, spiritual nature. The mind contains greed and hatred, but celebrations evoke love and forgiveness. This is our sunny side. Among 8.4 million species, humanity is one. Recognize this each morning. Our human qualities are love, devotion, and tolerance. Develop them through helping others. Positive thinking is foundational spirituality. Health depends on the body and proper nourishment. Cook at home using organic ingredients. Practice yoga mindfully for one to two hours daily. This integrates body, breath, and truthful living. Uphold these principles consistently. "I am a human being." "Helping hands are more valuable than folded hands."

Keep the Light!

Surrender, prayer, and self-realization form the path to inner peace. Before sleep, all actions are surrendered to the Lord, releasing mental tension. Prayer is offered for universal happiness, not just oneself. Judgment and humiliation of others are avoided. All knowledge is temporary, given by grace. The Vedas teach harmony with nature and acknowledge no individual God, only Īśvara. Nature does not need humans; humans need nature. The mind creates and dissolves the world. Without self-inquiry, one fights over temporary identities. The age of Kali pursues outward power, but God is found within. Evening practices—washing, prayer, and surrender—bring peaceful sleep. Waking in Brahmamuhūrta, one remembers God, not coffee. Morning surrender and the affirmation “I am human” awaken divine qualities. Viveka discerns Brahman as truth; vairāgya grants liberation and must be sustained by satsaṅga. The six inner treasures include śama, dama, and titikṣā; one is rich if one thinks so. Longing for liberation and Guru’s grace are essential. Nivṛtti, the cessation of mental fluctuations, is achieved through meditation. "Lord of my heart, in Your will I did my best, but I do not know if it was best or not. Through body, through words, and through mind—whatever I did, I surrender to You."

Do not miss Rama!

A melā is a gathering where human and animal natures meet. A disciple went to a melā with a peacock feather. Looking through it, he saw the crowd as animals with human bodies. Only in a few places did he see true humans, who welcomed him warmly. He reported that most had human form but animal qualities. True humanity is defined by inner positive qualities and spiritual development, which many lack. In the world, many appear human, but few possess human quality. Divine and demonic energies coexist, with the latter dominating in this age. It is difficult to discern who carries which energy. A holy gathering attracts a divine atmosphere, while demonic forces aim to disturb. "Many humans, but few are they who have human quality." "God is love and love is God."

The Fire of Jealousy and the Path of Sūrat

Jealousy is a fire that burns the one who is jealous, not its target. This destructive quality, like ego, anger, and greed, is a spiritual illness that obstructs development. Negative thinking invites many problems. Even on the spiritual path, jealousy arises among disciples and towards divine figures, asking "why not me?" This pride is the biggest obstacle. True progress requires humility, understanding others' mistakes, and forgiveness. The external form, like a robe, means nothing compared to the inner state. One must use the swift power of concentration, Sūrat, as a horse to pull the coach of disciplined practice toward the goal before life ends. Worldly knowledge becomes zero at death; only the Guru's simple technique matters. Do not fear temptations or difficulties on the path. Cultivate multi-faceted knowledge and maintain a spiritual environment. "O worldly people, why do you have doubts? I taught them the words of the truth." "O my brother Sādhus, why do you waste the time? Don’t delay. Now concentrate on your bhajans, your bhakti." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Meditation fur positives Denken

A guided meditation on awareness and breath. Sit comfortably upright and close the eyes. Relax the entire body and withdraw awareness from the outer world. Chant Oṃ to concentrate on sound and become aware of existence. Observe the natural breath, noting the belly's expansion and contraction. Feel the breath flow normally between the navel and throat. Be aware of the body, mind, and thoughts. Secure blessings as positive thoughts for oneself and the entire world. Conclude with deep breaths and chanting Oṃ Śāntiḥ. "Observe the breath between the navel and the throat and relax." "Secure your blessings as positive thoughts throughout the entire world."

How to reach the aim of your life

Yoga is a balanced system for physical, mental, social, and spiritual health, accessible to all. Practice consistently to gain its benefits; if you do not use it, you will lose it. Have a clear, unwavering life aim and work toward it with inner willpower. Do not depend on people, but rely on the teachings and your spiritual tradition. Spiritual development is not quick; do not confuse yourself by constantly changing paths or reading endlessly without practice. Connect your core awareness and concentration to your spiritual practice. All genuine spiritual paths ultimately lead to the same truth, so do not divert others from their chosen path. Value satsang and leave something good for the world. "Yoga in Daily Life Means Harmony of Body, Mind, and Soul."

Ein Abend

Today is a day of non-violence, a tribute to Mahātmā Gandhi. Two forces exist within the universe and every being: divine and demonic. Humans possess intellect and grace, but require education in being human. Our purpose is custodianship. Non-violence is the highest principle, extending beyond the physical to emotional and intellectual harm. Anger and greed are weaknesses. Modern education lacks spirituality and ethics, replaced by pursuit of wealth. The fault begins with parents; family is the foundation of education. A human awakening starts with the thought "I am a human being," leading to discernment between human and demonic qualities. Non-violence must apply to all living beings and nature. Animals suffer greatly for human consumption; the greatest share of karma falls on the consumer. Women, as mothers, are vital for educating future generations and establishing peace. Multicultural understanding is essential, as there are no true races, only one humanity. Peace is not a destination but the path itself, beginning within one's own heart.

The Path of Steadfast Practice

Success is achieved through steadfast, silent practice and an unwavering goal. A clear mental conception of your aim must be formed, and you must work for it throughout life despite obstacles and doubters. Inner will and strength are key; never give up. Observe the ant that persistently carries its crumb; it teaches perseverance. Spiritual and material goals share the same principle: maintain self-confidence and do not use negative words in your resolve. Practice continuously, as constant effort wears away resistance. Discipline is essential, and you must not lose sight of your objective. Spiritual knowledge is eternal, unlike intellectual knowledge which changes. Participate in Satsaṅga, the company of the truth, for spiritual development. Proceed with patience and certainty, seeing the beauty in all seasons and within yourself. "The yogī said, the ant is my guru, my greatest teacher. She told me: do not give up. Do not give up your goal." "Practice, practice, practice. Karat karat abhyāsa pyāre, jaḍamatī hota sujāna, rasī āvata jāvata śila para paḍata niśāna." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Higher Consciousness

The path to spiritual titles and realization is one of humility, not mere position. True attainment is measured by inner development and equal vision, not literary knowledge. Humility attracts divine grace, while pride destroys the quality of any attainment. The principle is higher thinking coupled with simple living, which means using necessities without attachment or pride, not rejecting them. Complete self-realization is rare and reserved; most practitioners experience only glimpses of the Self. These glimpses come through contemplation and grace, not through egoistic claims. Ancestral spirits can cause disturbances, requiring ceremonies rooted in a universal belief in the soul that transcends religious labels. True peace extends to all elements of existence. "Laguta se prabhuta mele—the more humble you are, the more you attain a divine position." "He is renouncing everything, but things do not renounce him."

Turn Kaliyuga into Satyayuga

Life is an intelligent gamble requiring awareness, not mere rationality. Worry is a common wave in existence, a play of joy and sorrow from which we occasionally glimpse a deeper truth. Nature keeps us occupied with personal plans, but yoga offers answers. Life's stages are like successive sandboxes, yet freedom is not a future reward but a present state of contentment found in following one's dharma. Dharma is a universal principle of truth, aligning feeling, thought, and action. Its fulfillment brings harmony, not from external acquisition but from inner completion. The pursuit of happiness often leads to pain, while disciplined effort yields joy, all pointing toward bliss. Suffering arises from a lack of discrimination between real and unreal, fueled by egoic identification with likes and dislikes. Spiritual progress requires developing this discernment through practice. While navigating life's duality, one is never truly alone. The current global crisis stems from a lack of ethical and spiritual education for children. We must protect nature, reject destructive consumption and fashion, and simplify life. Professions should be balanced with love, respect for all creatures, and keeping families close. Dharma is one's inherent function, and Sanātana Dharma is the eternal natural order. Conflict arises when people try to impose their dharma on others, ignoring the one universal truth. Yoga is a science of harmony for body, mind, and soul, present in all religious traditions through practical postures and prayers. It is a neutral path for health and should be embraced by all. "For what?" and "What do you think I am now, already?" "How can the illusion of illusion touch us?"

Chinta and Chintan

Cintā, or obsessive worry, is a destructive disease that extinguishes willpower and ambition, casting one into darkness. It is a chain that binds, surfacing lower qualities and severing the feeling of being complete Brahman. Excessive intellect focused on worldly ambition leads only to ultimate disappointment. The antidote is viveka, the discriminative faculty, combined with awareness and observation. One must practice ātmā cintan—thinking on the self—rather than worldly cintā. Life is inherently filled with struggle from birth onward, but identification with the eternal ātmā dissolves psychic problems. Worry never solves anything; alert awareness allows it to disperse like clouds before the sun. Surrender and right action guided by viveka lead forward. "Cintā is one of the terrible diseases. It kills the will of man, the inner willpower." "Viveka is the cream of the intellect; viveka is our best friend."

Effects of Practising Mantra

The power of mantra and the value of human life are profound. Chanting mantra resonates within, transforming the body into a temple and leading toward enlightenment through disciplined practice. This sound is the form of Brahman. Constant repetition wears away negativity, just as a footpath wears away grass. The human body is an invaluable gift, not to be bought or sold. This value necessitates compassion and mercy for all creation, understanding the life in all beings. Sanskrit is a divine language, and the eternal roots of spirituality are one, beyond man-made religious divisions. Mantra purifies negative energies. True spirituality arises from a heart filled with compassion and discernment. "Constantly and with discipline, if we chant our mantras, when we sing our mantras, no doubt, it will lead us to enlightenment." "In the heart should be love and mercy for all kinds of creation."
