The Anāhata-Cakra is the seat of the heart, devotion, and inner wisdom. When purified and awakened, it reveals hidden forces and universal love. This love is pure, free from anger, hatred, and jealousy. Where love is absent, conflict and suffering arise. Artistic talents and inspired writing flow from an awakened heart. Wisdom emerges from this purity, becoming self-correcting and perfect. The body is a chariot for the Self, guided by the intellect and ministered by discernment. Inner wealth is protected from the thieves of desire, anger, pride, and greed by applying the Guru's word. The entire cosmos resides within this vehicle. "Where there is love, all is pure. Where there is love, there is no anger." "The entire universe, all fourteen worlds and solar systems, are contained within this chariot." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 230

This Ashram is a gift for spiritual development through mental discipline. The body is transient, but the inner light is permanent. Self-realization comes from asking "Who am I?" We are trapped in a web of attachment and illusion, which causes suffering. The intellect can become ensnared in this web. One must awaken and practice self-inquiry to realize the inner light, which dispels darkness like the sun. True devotion is a fragile flame that must be nurtured; the wind of circumstance can extinguish it or fan it into a great fire. Dispassion is essential to end worldly cravings. Without it, one remains stuck like a fly in honey. The ultimate goal is liberation from the cycle of karma and rebirth through self-knowledge. "Who am I and what am I not? Observe where your greater weight lies." "Light the lamp in your heart. This flame is very delicate, fragile." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 229

The inner architect designs a life of contentment. The divine architect Viśvakarma designed the universe for happiness. True happiness is not found in money, food, or family, but in inner contentment. A home built without spiritual principles breeds conflict. The inner architect is our true Self, found by listening within. We often listen only to superficial, selfish feelings, which block contentment. The goal of human life is not mere eating and gathering like animals, but earning spiritual wealth. In happy times, we forget spiritual practice, yet that is when we should strengthen it. Yoga is the unity of consciousness and the universe, held together by sound. One must realize the Self through Guru's guidance and self-discipline. A healthy life through dedicated practice is essential for this inner design. "Nothing can make you happy. No person, no money, and no possession, but your inner contentment." "The goal of human life is not what we do. Eating, sleeping, procreating children, building a house—animals can do all of these well too." Filming location: Austria DVD 228

Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul, serving as the balancing principle within the endless universe. This cosmic balance manifests as the five elements, from which the human body is formed. Human life, one among 8.4 million creatures, is distinguished by intellect and specific qualities. True education cultivates these human qualities—love, kindness, forgiveness—while negative tendencies like fear and selfishness arise from imbalance. This imbalance is a psychic illness rooted in the subconscious, where past impressions become desires. The mind cannot be stopped, but it can be directed by controlling the senses and purifying one's thoughts. The physical body is mortal, yet within it resides the immortal soul, a divine self that is never born and never dies. Through yoga practice, the hidden energies within the body's chakras can be awakened to purify qualities and realize this cosmic unity. The ultimate aim is harmony, leading to the unity of the individual self with the cosmic self. "Yoga means the balancing principle in this endless universe." "Where there is balance, there is harmony: harmony of body, mind, and soul." Filming location: Zlin, Czech Republic DVD 227

The sacred bond with ancestors is fundamental to family continuity and spiritual protection. Modern life severs this connection through divorce and separate living, causing widespread suffering. Ancestors observe and guide us; their liberation depends on rituals performed by descendants. Every family has a protective deity, the Kuldevatā. Establishing daily worship, especially Sūrya Pūjā and Śaktipūjā, stabilizes life's turbulence and pleases these ancestral forces. Cultural and religious conflicts arise from forgetting these universal roots. The duty to maintain family unity and honor ancestors through prescribed ceremonies is a sacred debt that ensures collective well-being. "When you have children, they will move further. If you don't get children, then still they are there." "Your duty is to keep them happy and pleased." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 226

The Vedic wisdom teaches reverence for the sacred elements that constitute life and divinity. The sun is life, and life is God. Every element should be revered. Worship the Water God, for polluting water pollutes ourselves. Worship the Fire God; the Agni Tatva, our body's heat, is vital. Fire is pure and purifies. God is in every element. The ash from holy fire is Lakṣmī, a blessed vibhūti. Fire should always remain in your house as God. When cooking, first offer a portion to the Fire God; this blessing ensures enough for all. This is scientific. We must live in balance with nature. The wind god is vital; without air we cannot exist. Consider Mother Earth, who nourishes us. We have polluted her, making her ill. The five elements—space, air, fire, water, earth—are compared to God. Our body is these elements. What holds us together is Prāṇa from these elements. Therefore, perform prayers and mantras for Sūryadevatā, Jaladevatā, Agnidevatā, Vāyudevatā, and Pṛthvīmātā. Modern thinking has destroyed human roots. We must return to nature and Vedic culture. We are doing this for the entire planet. Leave the world as pure as you received it. "If we pollute water, we indirectly pollute ourselves." "Fire is Viṣṇu, and ash is Lakṣmī."

Welcome to the spiritual home. Its atmosphere is a blessing of presence. You have entered the Ashram, which is a Paras-stone. Contact transforms your substance, like iron to gold, but three qualities remain: sharpness, form, and danger. The Satguru, as a goldsmith, can break these with the hammer of knowledge. This process is a beautiful pain. We are here for lectures on Nāda-Yoga and practice. Questions can be submitted for public or private answer. Prayer and singing happen daily. Prasāda, a blessed offering, is distributed. It grants Satbuddhi—good intellect and thoughts—which leads to world peace. It brings Siddhi: health, joy, and prosperity. The divine itself seeks blessing. True value is understood through devotion, not transaction. Distribute prasāda intuitively, not by counting. We also celebrate birthdays and offer collective prayers for specific intentions. Heartfelt good wishes are a powerful blessing. "An iron knife is united with the Paras. What happens? The knife turns into gold." "Prasāda means blessing. Blessing means Prasāda." Filming location: Strelka Ashram, Europe DVD 224

The human form is a rare opportunity among countless creatures, created from the five elements and endowed with special abilities. Prāṇa is the vital energy that binds the five bodies—physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and causal—into a single being. This causal body is born from desire, perpetuating the wheel of action and reaction. Prāṇa and Apāna are opposing forces; Prāṇa draws energy in, while Apāna expels waste. Their meeting point is the navel at the Maṇipūra Cakra. Impure Apāna, caused by consuming foods like meat, garlic, and beans, creates imbalance and disease, blocking spiritual ascent. Purity of body and thought is essential. Quality attracts quality; an impure mind is repelled by spiritual company. The essence of life is to realize its temporary nature and focus on the divine name. "Prāṇa is that energy which keeps together all the five bodies." "The joy is in the name of God. All your other works and business, everything is unreal." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 221

The eternal religion is Sanātana Dharma, the universal union with the cosmic Self. Man-made religions arise from incarnations, but the eternal truth is God, creation, and universal consciousness. All beings are born human, without religious labels; only karma determines the afterlife. Duality and religious violence exist only in the human mind. One must be aware of place and time, respecting the atmosphere of sacred spaces. Prayer must come from the heart as a personal consultation with the divine, emptying anger and hate. Scientific research confirms prayer, meditation, and yoga as treatments for stress and mental illness, yet institutional prejudice remains. Prayer is a spiritual tonic that strengthens mental power and fulfills wishes through complete surrender. The greatest protection is satsaṅg, the company of truth, a boat across the ocean of existence. Liberation comes from cultivating devotion, detachment, knowledge, austerity, and renunciation, not from passions like anger or greed. When lost or in fear, prayer is the emergency medicine that reveals the way. "Your karma is the major thing. Your karma is the most important thing." "Prayer should come from the heart, because it is easy to kneel down, but it's hard to bow the heart." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 220

Yoga is the cosmic science of uniting body, mind, and consciousness into oneness with Brahman, the singular, formless, and eternal reality. This truth is unchangeable, regardless of belief. The universe, a manifestation of this one God, operates through a divine resonance, the sound Oṁ, which pervades and unites all existence. The human body is a microcosm of this cosmos. The spiritual aim is to dissolve the individual ego and merge with Brahman, achieving permanent unity rather than temporary heavens. This requires systematic practice, self-inquiry, and ultimately surrendering all identity. Liberation is not found in worldly or heavenly enjoyments but in this direct realization. All spiritual teachings, like the principles of Yama and Niyama, guide this journey toward universal love and ultimate truth. "Eko brahma, dvitīya nāsti." — Only Brahman is the one; a second does not exist. "Prem galī ati saṅkarī, jahāṁ dui na samāī." — The street of love is so narrow, two cannot go together.

Yoga is a practical path requiring disciplined, conscious practice, not theoretical knowledge. True progress comes from quality, not quantity, and from daily foundational work. The simple, foundational exercises of the first and second steps are profoundly effective for holistic development. Practice must be slow and mindful, with full concentration on the body's sensations. This conscious movement purifies blood flow, builds energy, and strengthens the body and mind. It is not a competition; the only challenge is self-discipline. Rushing through postures for quantity negates the benefits. The goal is awareness and integration, where one becomes one with the movement, feeling every muscle and the resulting internal harmony. "Tons of theory cannot compare with a single gram of practice." "We do not need quantity; we need quality." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 218

Our so-called development is a path to destruction, distracting us from true sustainability. The natural world is perfect and self-supporting, while our man-made systems create pollution, stress, and war, driven by economic greed. True wealth is satisfaction, not endless wanting. We destroy forests, pollute water, and eradicate wild food sources, thinking only of ourselves while ignoring the creatures that maintain our ecosystem. Our actions throw nature out of balance. Yoga is the principle of balance—for the body, mind, and the universe. Our mental state creates our reality; through self-suggestion, we can choose happiness. We must live with compassion for all creatures, seeing the divine life in each. Humans are meant to be protectors, not destroyers. The cruelty of killing animals for food ignores their capacity for love and suffering, and our karmic consequences. "Rich are they who don't want anything, and poor beggars are they who want to have more and more." "Manomātra jagata—the whole world is created out of the mind."

Sādhanā requires perfect technique and discipline, like following road rules to avoid an accident. The human body is an engine requiring sāttvic nourishment, not worldly fuel. The Maṇipūra Cakra is the vital center where prāṇa and apāna unite and where the soul enters; it is the seat of Hara Śakti, the life force governing immunity. Sound originates from the navel, with its dormant seed in the Maṇipūra. Chanting Oṃ in the Śabda Sañjālan practice awakens this sound, which rises to the Sahasrāra and flows to the heart, uniting the three nāḍīs at the Ājñā Cakra in a confluence called Trikuṭī. This inward bathing washes away karmas. Authentic sādhanā requires devotion and a spiritual lineage; self-made practices lack roots and bear no real fruit. Discipline is essential; losing it spoils the practice like milk soured by lemon. Begin with devotion to awaken the inner kingdom. "Yogāgni karoti dagdhaṃ—through the fire of yoga, you can burn all seeds of your karmas." "Where there are doubts and complexes, bhakti cannot be perfect. Bhakti is unconditional; then your yoga agni becomes strong." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 215

Daily practice and satsaṅg are essential for spiritual development. Maintain daily sādhanā without interruption, as consistency harmonizes body, mind, and consciousness. A special home program of āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and kriyā is designed for this. The human body is a precious opportunity. Advanced group practices require strict preparation and selection. All techniques serve as regeneration. Cultivating friendship through love and mutual understanding is vital social practice. Avoid harsh words and offer a smile and welcome to all. Satsaṅg provides inspiration, teaching, and liberation. To gain friends, one must first give confidence and learn to listen. Personal qualities determine experience, not the qualities of others. "Bada bhāga manuṣya tanu pāvā." "Dīpa dayāla arala suna lejo kara kṛpā moi satsaṅga lejo." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 213

The sacred relationship between master and disciple is one of selfless grace. A master, like a parent, wishes for the disciple's supreme success without jealousy. Yet a master's love is universal, not limited by blood. Four sacred metaphors embody this selfless service: a lake gives water to all; a tree provides shade and fruit unconditionally; a saint endures all hardships for others; rain falls equally everywhere. This is the consciousness of paramārtha, or selflessness. The master's grace is immense, but recognizing it is difficult. Disciples often misunderstand or take the master for granted, just as teenagers may rebel against parents. Only after life's blows do they seek solace again. Many saints leave no lasting lineage because disciples fail to understand this selfless nature. The master desires nothing, only to give. Once spiritual consciousness awakens, it never sleeps again, though breaking through the rocks of karma is hard. The grace of a true master is an inseparable, boundless bond of love and forgiveness, transcending all material expectations. "Every master wishes that their students will achieve even greater success, higher positions, or realize higher consciousness." "One never has enough to drink this nectar, the wisdom. No one has enough." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 212B

A yoga teacher must be an example of awareness, humility, and heart-centered conduct. A thief took a watch, illustrating that some people simply do not care about others' troubles. We must learn to live alert and protect ourselves by protecting others. Selfishness and greed are dangerous; the greatest can renounce their place. Many come to yoga with problems, seeking solutions. Teachers often lack respect for each other and newcomers, creating a closed atmosphere. This behavior reflects on the entire lineage. A teacher must be like a cat's eye on the road, remaining clear and guiding despite pollution. Do not change the teaching system; consult organizers. When corrected, be ready to learn without ego, as shown in a story where a master tested for ego by rejecting perfect food. The heart needs heart, meaning mutual understanding, not intellect. Create harmony that extends beyond the classroom. "If he will think that I am sad, then he will not become a thief." "The heart needs another heart; the heart does not need another intellect." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 212A

Sūratā is the pure, wandering inner attention that must merge with the true Self. Sūratā is the virgin, representing pure intention and concentration. It is the constant awareness observing all directions, like a driver alert to the road. If this attention lapses, accidents occur. This attention wanders, placing faith in things only to withdraw it. The aim is to marry, meaning merge, this sūratā with the calm ātmā. The outer world is illusion; temptation and ego cause the loss of divine consciousness. The individual soul, due to ego, becomes ignorant of its true Brahman nature. One must find the Lord, the knower of Brahman. Spiritual practice may seem fruitless because hidden impurities remain, requiring purification. One should be thankful for the practice itself. "The accident happens so quickly we can hardly control anything. So the sūratā should be always alert." "O my Lord, please do not consider my mistakes." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 211B

The preciousness of retreat time is immense, for the mundane world awaits with its troubles. Returning home brings emptiness, unsuitable food, and the rush of work and parking tickets. This retreat is valuable, beautiful, and beneficial. You have 48 hours remaining; use them for practice, as this energy sustains the entire year. Do not focus on discipline or perceived lack. A shepherd followed a mysterious cow into a cave, clinging to its tail in darkness while repeating a mantra for protection. He discovered a hidden sanctuary with a sage, who thanked him for tending the cow but offered only a handful of barley as reward. Disappointed, the shepherd threw it away, only to later find diamonds stuck to his shawl, but he could not find the cave again. This cave is the retreat space, the practice of anuṣṭhāna. The cow symbolizes the tongue; holding it means repeating the mantra and guiding it within. Even a brief inner experience is profoundly significant, though it may be recognized only later. All practice requires grace to bear fruit. "Walking quickly, after 10, 15 minutes walking through the cave, suddenly the cave became bigger and some light was there." "And that is it. That cave is this place where we have our anuṣṭhāna." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 211A

The path of divine union is realized through the merging of individual consciousness with the absolute. Spiritual song, or bhajan, contains the entire philosophy, offering both inspiration and answers. It surpasses simple repetition of the divine name. Consciousness, or sūrat, is the virgin girl—the inner feeling and intention. The physical body does not travel through existences; the consciousness journeys through 8.4 million life forms seeking the true guru, the complete being. You are both that seeker and the sought, the divine masculine and feminine. Initiation and true marriage are not of the body or mind but the merging of this consciousness with the soul. When the sūrat connects to the ātmā, all worldly marriages dissolve into oneness. This union is the aim, achieved by concentrating all feeling and energy toward soul-knowledge. "The sūtra says, 'I couldn’t find my husband, I couldn’t find my Pūrṇa Puruṣa.'" "Marriage means to merge into oneness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 210A

Human Dharma is rooted in compassion and realized through intellect. Our duty is to be a protector, not a destroyer. Compassion is the foundation of Dharma, while ego is the root of sin. We must use discernment in all situations to act according to this duty. The ultimate human Dharma has two parts: to protect life and to pursue Self-realization. Our lifespan is short, so we must not waste this unique opportunity. Life is structured into stages, each with its own duties, guiding us from student to householder to gradual withdrawal. True practice is a continuous 24-hour Kriyā, culminating in the silence that awakens and purifies. You cannot run from your own mind; you must transform it through disciplined practice and compassion. "Compassion is the root of Dharma, while the root of sin is ego." "If you can protect your Dharma, then Dharma can protect you." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 207B

Sādhana requires the principles of Śayamit and Niyamit, guided by Viveka. Śayamit is control, the ability to say no to oneself, which requires the philosophy of viveka to discern. It involves withdrawal from distractions and maintaining borders for speech and action, observing oneself carefully. Niyamit is the daily discipline maintained forever. Sandhyā vandanā, prayer at dawn and dusk, honors the light and our senses, which have an eternal dharma to protect. This sādhanā of control and discipline, with a sāttvic life, purifies the mind. The aim is Ātmā Jñāna, achieved by balancing Jñāna, Bhakti, and Vairāgya. The mind makes wishes, the intellect judges, but viveka is the cream of intellect, separating truth from untruth. One must correct oneself first. Within you is an immeasurable fountain of joy and the immortal Ātmā. "Simit means border. Everything should have its border. Do not let your feelings and your senses go out of the border, out of control." "Viveka is that which will divide truth and untruth completely, like a lemon will spoil the milk, separating the paneer on one side and the water on the other side."

Honesty in yoga practice requires confronting our lack of progress. You came seeking harmony for body, mind, and soul. Yet after years of seminars, that goal remains unfulfilled. The problem is not with yoga, which is a divine science of balance. The problem lies within us. We hold onto desires, attachments, and illnesses while neglecting the practices that dispel them. Culture guides us toward a healthy life, but we have lost our direction. We search everywhere for the flower to offer, failing to recognize it is our own sincere effort. Examine how honestly you practice. Very few complete essential cleansing techniques. You must begin the actual work of Haṭha Yoga and meditation. Perform your service without ego or jealousy, as a blessed opportunity. Support this work as devoted siblings, turning all negativity into wisdom. "Either yoga is not that which can give you harmony, or you didn’t understand it; it didn’t touch your heart." "Therefore, the purpose of my telling this is: how honestly are you practicing? Do not tell me anything; only ask yourself." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 203B

The foundation of practice is daily discipline for health, which must precede spirituality. Many do not practice regularly at home, leading to physical problems. The body naturally produces illness (vikāra) and the qualities of tamas and rajas, but sattva requires diligent work. A body full of vikāra creates a mind full of vikāra, clouding the intellect and knowledge. The only purification is through consistent yoga practice. This includes daily asana, pranayama, and seasonal cleansing techniques. Diet is crucial; most have lost the knowledge of proper cooking and eating, consuming tamasic and rajasic foods instead of sattvic ones. You must become an example through your own health and discipline, washing out laziness and negativity. The path is defined by four points: diet (āhār), recreation (vihār), behavior (ācār), and thought (vicār). Begin seriously again. "Practice means at home, not only here. Here, you are merely learning." "When the body is unhealthy and full of vikāra, then thoughts are also full of vikāra." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 202B

The Rāmāyaṇa illustrates that pure devotion and selfless duty overcome all obstacles. Rāma was exiled for fourteen years due to a promise his father had to keep. His wife Sītā was then abducted by Rāvaṇa. To rescue her, Rāma needed to cross the ocean to Śrī Laṅkā. When the ocean did not yield, Hanumān wrote Rāma's name on a stone, causing it to float, and a bridge was built. This bridge has been discovered via satellite, evidencing the history. In the war, Lakṣmaṇa was mortally wounded. An Āyurvedic doctor stated only an herb from the Himalayas could save him, but it was impossibly far. Hanumān, devoted, flew to fetch the entire mountain. While carrying it, he was mistakenly shot by Bharata but, chanting Rāma's name, was recognized. He delivered the herb just before sunrise, saving Lakṣmaṇa. This is the power of a devotee's selfless action. Do not wait for others or think your duty is done. You do not work for anyone else; you work for yourself, as the fruit is yours. Do not measure your service, for measuring makes it selfish. Be selfless and humble in your work. "If you throw someone out of your hand, they no longer have any chance. They will sink." "Nothing is impossible for a bhakta. When the Lord is on the side of the bhakta, nothing is impossible." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 202A

The cultivation of relationship is the essence of a successful life. We often fail to value connections until they are gone, realizing too late we could have understood, tolerated, or spoken more. This applies to all relations. A deep human relationship imprints the subconscious and later surfaces as memory and feeling; this is not attachment. Attachment is the selfish desire to possess, breeding jealousy and suffering. Modern life isolates people, eroding community. Humanity now faces four great problems born from neglect: environmental pollution, mass immigration, employment crises, and water scarcity. These stem from a mindset of "I do not care." True spirituality is to care for this living planet and all beings. Cultivate relationships by giving attention, understanding, and support without expectation. Do not divide the world into yours and mine. Multiply yourself through friendship with all creatures. Protect these gentle bonds as one would protect a small flame in a storm. "When once a deep relation takes place, then it prints certain motifs on your subconsciousness." "Attachment is when you only want to have something for yourself, and it creates in you jealousy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 201B

The eternal disciple-master relationship transcends physical succession. Liberation depends on disciplined living, not mere practice. A true disciple carries the work forward with purity, never becoming the guru. The master remains the eternal guide and the way to the divine. A successor sits on the master's seat but does not become the master, just as a son cannot become the father of his father. The disciple's dilemma is whom to greet first when both Guru and God appear; the answer is to honor the Guru first, for through the Guru one meets God. One must never forget one's origin. The principles of yama and niyama, ethical discipline and self-control, are essential. When the master left the body, it followed a prayer for his release from suffering, affirming the enduring spiritual bond beyond physical form. "Liberation depends on discipline, the way of life—how you speak, how you live, how you talk." "A disciple will never be a guru. A disciple will ever be a disciple."

Faith, practice, and true company are the path to fulfillment. Everything is accomplished through divine grace. Do not abandon your positive resolve amidst life's difficulties; changing your commitment means losing something invaluable. We often fail to value what we have until it is gone. Human life is a rare and powerful tool for realization, endowed with intellect and will. Laziness is the greatest enemy, followed by anger, jealousy, and greed; these must be overcome. Surrender must be complete and permanent for lasting happiness. External efforts to defy aging are a temporary play; we must accept nature. The core practice is to constantly remember the divine name through mantra, in any circumstance. This repetition is counted and builds spiritual wealth. Satsang—truthful company—is of supreme value. A story illustrates that one minute of genuine satsang surpasses 60,000 years of isolated practice. Attend satsang with an open, empty heart to receive its wisdom. "You will harvest five tons more than your estimate." "One minute of satsaṅg is greater than 60,000 years of tapas and sādhanā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 199A

Cultivate kindness by seeing yourself in others and practicing non-harm. The ancient sage Dadhīcī donated his bones while alive to save all creatures, embodying the principle of treating others as you wish to be treated. This foundational rule of Dharma is kindness, while ego is the root of sin; therefore, never abandon the grace in your heart. Karma accumulates with individuality and requires daily purification through prayer and meditation, which are essential for mental clarity. When feeling blocked in any way, the solution is to give generously, for energy must flow to remain pure. Collective giving lightens burdens and serves society, as faith in providence sustains charitable works. Helping others—whether through material, intellectual, or physical means—opens all internal blockages and aligns one with higher spiritual realms. "Do not do to others what you do not like to be done to you." "The foundation of Dharma, where it stands solid, is kindness." Filming location: Kranj, Slovenia DVD 198B

The journey of consciousness progresses from the Mūlādhāra to the Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra. The universe is an endless cosmic mother containing balanced consciousness and willpower. The divine sound AUM is the source of all creation, resonating within every atom. This human life on the karma planet is a unique opportunity for development using the intellect. The body is composed of five elements, and within all creatures resides the reflection of the one cosmic Self. Knowing the self is the path to liberation, requiring practice like yoga rather than mere theory. Kuṇḍalinī is the dormant power of personal destiny within the unconscious. This energy resides at the Mūlādhāra and seeks union with pure consciousness, Śiva, at the Sahasrāra Cakra. The journey ascends through channels and energy centers, confronting stored karma. The Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra is the 'place of the self,' associated with the water element, awakening energy, and the color orange. Its symbol is a half-moon, and it holds the six obstacles: anger, hate, greed, jealousy, cruelty, and laziness, often symbolized by a crocodile representing passion. This center is governed by the creator Brahmā and the wisdom of Sarasvatī. One must purify desires and overcome these negative qualities to progress. Liberation is the union of the individual soul with the supreme soul. "Tons of theory is nothing compared with a gram of practice." "Know thyself is the way to liberation." Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia DVD 198A

Kuṇḍalinī is the energy and consciousness within, containing all karma, destiny, and the soul. This individual self is like a balloon holding everything. Śiva is the pure, liberating consciousness, the ultimate truth and beauty, present equally in all. Śakti is the dynamic energy entangled with karma, longing to merge with Śiva. Their union is liberation, transcending past, present, and future. Human life is the sole opportunity for this realization. Without it, the cycle of rebirth continues. Awakening is a subtle, indescribable spiritual process, not physical. It requires years of preparation through practice, diet, and cultivating virtues under a master's guidance to proceed safely upward without falling back. The spiritual lineage protects and guides this journey. "Śiva means consciousness. It is consciousness, not in a physical form." "Human life is the opportunity where you can have a lawyer to solve all the problems, to become free of this prison. That lawyer is spiritual knowledge." Filming location: Kranj, Slovenia DVD 197B

Kundalini is the dormant power within consciousness that directs destiny. This serpentine energy, symbolizing time and transformation, resides in physical centers. Destiny is the product of one's own past actions, like a thrown stone that cannot be recalled. Life is constantly accompanied by both knowledge and time, with time acting as the shadow of death. Harmony is achieved by acting with awareness of place and time, controlling emotions that cause problems. The rare opportunity for liberation requires a human birth, spiritual upbringing, personal interest, and a master's guidance. Kundalini awakening is the enlightenment of wisdom and love within, changing one's consciousness and attitude. "Destiny is the product of your own actions. No one is there to be blamed." "Act according to the time and place. Whoever can adjust himself or herself in this time and situation... will be successful." Filming location: Kranj, Slovenia DVD 197A

Be faithful to yourself and practice. Practice leads you to your destination through concentrated work, not mere intellectual study. Humans suffer from distorted relations and have abused nature, becoming the most troubled and restless beings. One must be merciful to oneself. Remembering God and practicing is crucial, as life has passed without His name. A story illustrates this: two brothers, one a Bhakti Yogi devoted to practice, the other a Jñāna Yogi focused on intellectual study. The Jñāna Yogi criticized his brother's incorrect mantras and pūjā, but later witnessed him walk on water through pure devotion. A farmer explained that a seed grows regardless of how it is planted, just as God responds to a pure heart, not perfect pronunciation. The lesson is that practice with faith yields fruit, while intellectual knowledge alone does not. Do not waste time debating methods; whatever you have, practice it faithfully now. "Too much reading also leads you nowhere; it is only intellectual information. Therefore, practicing is very important." "It doesn't matter how you throw the seed in the earth, it will grow. Whether you put it right side or wrong side, the seed will grow." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 196A

Brahman is the sole reality; the world is unreal. The five elements form the body, and God dwells within as the breath. The individual self is a part of God, like water from a river in a bottle. Duality persists only while the body exists. Afterward, the breath reunites with the highest Self. Our various bodies are shaped by karma, which is created by our own free actions. The fault for our circumstances is always our own. Life's outcome is in your hands, not determined by another's answer. Self-realization requires great effort and discipline over a long time. As long as one lives in duality, ignorance remains. The difference between an individual and God is that individuals possess qualities. Purify negative qualities like ego and anger, which God does not possess. These hidden qualities are revealed only when tested. Liberation is attained through good deeds, devotion, and the Guru's grace. To receive grace, understand the Master's words and perform selfless service. When the disciple's consciousness becomes pure, the Master's glance can bring instantaneous union. Reflect on your purpose. Strive to be gentle and forgiving. Nothing physical is eternal except the Ātman. The goal of human life is self-realization. "Whether the bird is alive or dead also depends on your hand. It is in your hands, your life."

The world is an illusion, and Brahman is the only reality. Illusion, or Māyā, is like a mirage of water in a desert. Thirsty animals see a lake, but it is not there; they chase it and perish. Similarly, we perceive a real world, but it is transient and unreal. Just as a rope is mistaken for a snake in dim light, our ignorance mistakes the impermanent world for reality. All that appears—forms, conflicts, possessions—is Māyā. The truth is Brahman, the absolute consciousness. We waste our human life chasing worldly illusions. The remedy is Brahmajñāna, the knowledge of Brahman. This knowledge reveals that everything, from a flower to a person, is a manifestation of Brahman. Just as waves are not different from the ocean, all beings are not separate from Brahman. The Self seeks itself, but there is no second self to find; one must realize "I am that." All paths end where reality is, which is your own Self. Do not seek reality in unreality. Be liberated from duality. "Brahma is Satya, God is the Truth. And everything that is visible here is untruth, unreality." "Everything that exists, you are also Brahman. So, see Brahman in everyone." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 195A

The inner universe is explored through the concepts of ākāśa (space) and chakras. Ākāśa is divided into types. Ghaṭākāśa is the limited space within a pot or vessel. Māṭākāśa is the space within a house, defined by its atmosphere. Cidākāśa is the space of individual consciousness, which expands or contracts with thought and holds our mental impressions. Ākāśa is the visible physical space. Mahākāśa is the endless universe. The real Self is like this indestructible space. Our inner world manifests the outer world. Symbols like chakras are expressions of this inner reality. They are psychic centers reflected in the physical body. For meditation, visualize them at a distance within your expansive Cidākāśa, not just inside the physical form. Purification of the intellect center is crucial before awakening other centers. Practice should be done with proper technique and prāṇāyāma, avoiding substance abuse. Symbols carry cultural meanings but their essence is universal. The four petals of a chakra symbol represent the four ways life manifests and the four human aims: dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa. "Balihārī us ghaṭkī, jahāṁ pragat bole ae—adoration to that heart in which He speaks." "Śāntoṣī nara sadā sukhī—a satisfied person, a content person is ever happy."

The chakras are energy centers with distinct levels and borders. Earth chakras at the soles connect to depression. Vegetation centers around the feet accelerate aging. Animal chakras from ankles to knees foster lower consciousness. The border between animal and human levels is here. Five human chakras remain mixed with animal qualities. The Viśuddhi to Ājñā chakras form the intellect center, the border to divine consciousness. Awakening the Ājñā, the guru chakra, realizes the inner master. The Mūlādhāra is the foundational root and cause of life, our physical and psychic base. Its red color represents Earth, blood, and Śakti energy. The lotus symbolizes purity and devotion. "Gu means darkness, and Ru means light. You enter into the light of wisdom and cross the border of this darkness." "Mūlādhāra is the basic cause... What was the basic reason? According to this, life is given." Filming location: Umag, Croatia DVD 194A

To achieve anything in life, we need the principles of tapa, tyāga, vairāgya, and jñāna. These are required for all endeavors, not just spiritual work. Tapa is the fire of endurance through difficulties; we must not give up when situations become hard. This endurance is tapasyā. Our greatest weakness is complaining and anger. The world is created from the mind; we can create a beautiful or unpleasant world based on our perception. Tyāga is non-attachment, giving up through intellect to avoid situations. Attachment from ignorance causes suffering; love from knowledge brings happiness. Renounce to be happy. Do not collect possessions, as they become a burden. Renounce negative inner qualities like jealousy and greed. We need jñāna, wisdom, to avoid destroying valuable relationships out of ignorance. These qualities are within us; their awakening is the awakening of Kuṇḍalinī, which should liberate you. Your duty is to make others happy. Do your dharma regardless of others' actions. Forgive and understand those acting from ignorance. The grassroots work begins with your own development, utilizing the inner qualities you already possess. "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." "Renounce and enjoy." Filming location: Umag, Croatia DVD 193B

The purpose of yoga is the development of consciousness and the awakening of spiritual energy, not for siddhis. There are two kinds of māyā, or illusion. The first is worldly temptation, which takes the form of whatever you desire, like money or passion. It is a close friend of the dead and will eventually leave you helpless. We must live in māyā like a lotus in water, nourished by it but not attached. The second māyā is the temptation of siddhis, or miracles, which become friends to your ego. If you demonstrate them, you become māyā's slave. Spiritual awakening is accompanied by miracles, but by the first small miracle, we often fail, thinking we no longer need a master. Therefore, do not fall for miracles. Our dharma is to protect and support others, not to take or destroy. Human life is a rare opportunity given by luck, not sin. We are bound by karma, and our destiny is seated in the Mūlādhāra chakra. The light of knowledge and acceptance can remove negative karma, but some destiny we must go through. Kuṇḍalinī is this power of destiny. Work together in unity, not division. "Kabīr Dās said, 'I realized that Māyā is the greatest cheater.'" "Swāmī Lālanandjī Mahārāj said... 'I ask only for one thing: the dust of thy lotus feet.'" Filming location: Umag, Croatia DVD 193A

Modern life is fast and difficult, creating inner struggle. The practice shown here addresses this. True connection transcends physical distance through love. This love must be awakened to fulfill human duties: protecting the environment, showing kindness, and fostering mutual understanding across all religions and cultures. All are one, united by the same divine consciousness within every being. Preserving one's own traditional culture, language, and customs is vital for protecting society's ethical values. Every culture is beautiful and deserves respect. Yoga in Daily Life is not mere exercise but a 24-hour practice integrating non-violence, responsibility, and dignity into all actions, thoughts, and relations. Humans must learn the highest form of giving: humble forgiveness. We are born to help, as seen in projects providing water and education. The future depends on parents prioritizing love and character education for children over money or position. This integrated system aims to create a healthy, free-thinking society. Yoga is a universal principle of body, mind, and consciousness, older than any religion, leading to freedom through love, service, and kindness. "Where there is love, there is no distance. If there is no love, even the neighbor’s house is millions of kilometers away." "Culture, religion, and humans are very close; you cannot separate them. They have to be in one place, and that is why every culture should be kept alive." Filming location: Croatia DVD 192B

Peace is the highest ideal, without which all other ideals are unreachable. This summit reaffirms the message of nonviolence and unity. World peace requires rising above boundaries of nation, politics, and religion. It begins within the individual heart. If there is no inner peace, we cannot create peace in the world. Sustainable development is the sustainable relation between humans and nature. The virtues that make lasting peace possible are tolerance, respect, understanding, and love. We must be the change we wish to see. "One in all and all in one. That cosmic light is in every creature." "Peace is not a religion, not a philosophy, and not a politic, but it is a universal principle." Filming location: Czech Republic DVD 191

Life is a mystery whose hidden blessing is happiness, sought by all. The seed of complete bliss is self-knowledge derived from God. The human birth is given to end sorrow and attain supreme joy through spiritual practice and holy company. A seeker found his divine teacher at seventeen, seeing the form of Krishna within him. He became a true disciple, dedicating everything. He was initiated into the highest monastic order, achieving the highest consciousness. The teacher's life was a constant strengthening in spiritual experience under his Guru's merciful guidance. As the spiritual heir, he established and cared for ashrams. He taught the glory of the soul and God across the world. He was a tireless speaker for tolerance and peace, teaching non-violence as the highest religion. His strength came from deep meditation and repeating his Guru's name with immense love and devotion for many hours daily. Such pure love removes all obstacles between the seeker and God. He authored his Guru's biography and was honored as a King of Dharma. After eighty years, his consciousness merged with the Cosmic. His disciple continues the divine mission. The saint in Mahasamadhi remains a majestic memory. "My eyes were filled with tears, and I fell on my knees. I knew that I had found the eternal light of my life." "Non-violence is the highest religion." Filming location: Rajasthan, India DVD 190

The heart of this center is unity through selfless service. Founded on a vision of yoga as unity, it manifests as humanitarian action. The central building, shaped like Om, symbolizes divine beauty and balance. Education is a core mission, providing for poor, orphaned, and disabled children to create balanced citizens. The center operates a hospital, a fire service, and a cow sanctuary, offering refuge and care. A major water project created a lake and hill to secure water for the area, turning desert into life. Tree planting supports this sustainable development. The strength for all service comes from inner yoga practice, controlling body, breath, and mind to find wholeness. This work transforms ideals into reality. "Making a man is not the function of parliaments; making a real man with full human qualities is the function of education alone." "The hands that help are more valuable than the hands that pray." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India DVD 189

The science of Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness. Yoga is the eternal balancing principle in the universe, not a religion or philosophy. Within the human body lies a dormant treasure of wisdom and abilities connected to energy centers called chakras. We have ten senses that connect us to the external world, and a mind that transfers impressions into the subconscious, where they become desires. Our intellect judges these desires. The human body contains 72,000 nāḍīs, or energy channels. Three main nāḍīs are Iḍā (moon, emotion), Piṅgalā (sun, intellect), and Suṣumṇā (central path of consciousness). Their crossing points form major chakras. Kuṇḍalinī is the dormant divine power at the base of the spine. Its awakening is the awakening of wisdom and consciousness, a union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. This process purifies dormant karmas and leads to liberation. Chakras are connected to the five elements and influence our physical and psychic health. Mastery of them requires lifelong practice under guidance. Human life is the precious chance to achieve this liberation. "Yoga is not a religion, not a philosophy, not a dogma. It is the eternal principle in this universe." "Human life, the human body, is the most precious diamond—it cannot be bought or borrowed." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia DVD 188

The physical form becomes a living temple through devotion and realization. A spiritual master's life is an opportunity for self and God-knowledge. Complete devotion to the teacher raises the individual soul to the divine. After eighty years, the immortal soul left its mortal abode. The community gathered in cosmic pain for a final meeting. The body of a saint is interred, not cremated, as it is a temple where God lived. The spiritual lineage passes to a designated heir after a period. The inauguration formalizes the transfer of wisdom and responsibility. The unbroken chain of knowledge is preserved through direct transmission from teacher to disciple. "God bless you, God bless you, God bless you..." "I am not the body of ignorance. I am pure consciousness, endowed with wisdom." Filming location: Rajasthan, India DVD 181

Yoga is a discipline for mastering the mind and body, a lifelong process. Patañjali identified the core problem as vṛttis—the thoughts and desires arising in the mind. These restless thoughts can uproot your beliefs and create suffering. Success requires controlling these vṛttis through yogic discipline, yet this control itself requires discipline, creating a challenging cycle. Problems arise from the interaction between the self and the external world; you cannot make a sound with only one hand. Limit your needs and avoid unnecessary external situations that provoke thoughts. Do not judge thoughts immediately; allow wisdom to filter them. The mind creates divisions and borders where none exist. First, seek union with yourself by reconciling your thoughts, intellect, and emotions. Surrender to the divine as you are, without pretense, for God knows everything. Help others until their last breath, for destruction is quick but construction is difficult. Use your intellect to purify your vṛttis, for they shape your reality. "Yogaś citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ: through the practice of yoga, you can control your thinking process." "It does not matter how you are. Come as you are to me." Filming location: To be deter DVD 170b

Prosperity encompasses material and spiritual cleanliness, attracting divine grace. Maintain purity in environment, body, and thoughts. Physical preparation and mental discipline are required for spiritual practice. Life's experiences are like milk; churning them through reflection extracts the essence. Study the inner chapters of your life, its expectations and obstacles. Practice diligently to overcome difficulties. Most exist divided into many pieces by worldly attachments and wounds. True peace arises when life becomes settled and one feels complete within. Judge which inner forces govern you and invite only those that bring harmony. "Lakṣmī runs there where there is purification, cleanness: clean dress, clean bed... clean heart and clean thoughts."

The prophecy of Nārada reveals a destined path that challenges worldly expectations. He predicts Pārvatī will be seen as lacking qualities and glory, separated from her parents, and married to an ascetic yogi. Her parents, wishing for conventional happiness, are distressed. Pārvatī, however, accepts the words as truth. This highlights a conflict: worldly consciousness desires social success, while spiritual consciousness seeks a higher union. Parents often project their unfulfilled dreams onto children, restricting their freedom. The prophecy, though seemingly fixed, suggests destiny is not absolute. By embracing the prediction, Pārvatī's devotion awakens, directing her toward Śiva. The path is difficult, like obtaining a hard-to-reach fruit, requiring steadfast tapasyā without comfort or compromise. True change requires merging individual consciousness with the cosmic, not merely imitating divine forms. "People will always think that she has no qualities. She will have little glory." "Therefore, Pārvatī, go and make tapasyā, awake your devotion more and more... Just stick to your aim and concentrate on that." Filming location: To be dete DVD 169a

The sorrow of Satī arises from familial rejection and the consequences of doubt. King Dakṣa organizes a grand yajña, inviting all devas except Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. Satī, Śiva's consort, sees the celestial procession and wishes to attend her father's festival. Śiva cautions her, noting the deliberate lack of invitation stems from Dakṣa's enmity and warns she will face disrespect. Despite this, driven by attachment, she insists. Śiva reluctantly permits her, sending guards for protection. Upon arrival, only her mother welcomes her; Dakṣa ignores her. Satī discovers no ritual place allotted for Śiva at the yajña, realizing the insult. Overwhelmed by anger and remorse for doubting Śiva, she immolates herself through yogic fire. The assembly is thrown into turmoil. Śiva learns of her death as the yajña encounters obstacles. "Lord, at the house of my father, there is a big festival. If you permit me, Lord Merciful One, I may go there with great respect." "If you go without invitation, in my opinion, it isn't good." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 168b

The glory of satsaṅg is the power of spiritual unity, not individualism. A solitary drop cannot flow; many drops must unite to form a stream, then a river, and finally reach the ocean. Satsaṅg is this gathering where spiritual power is built, elevating one's being. Good companionship cultivates only good thoughts and qualities. In contrast, bad company acts like a sour agent, spoiling the milk of one's spirit and causing separation. Therefore, one must pray for true satsaṅg and avoid harmful associations. The story of Satī illustrates the pain of separation born from doubt and self-inflicted error. She carried a burning sorrow within, recognizing her mistake in doubting Śiva. After a long period of meditation, Śiva emerged and offered a gentle presence, beginning to share wisdom. This teaches that suffering arises from our own conditioned thinking, and peace is found through forgiveness, understanding, and turning inward. "Whoever is individualistic will have a problem. That drop will take time to come." "O Lord, mercifully please see that I am faithful, the true one, and help me." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 168a

Knowledge is the door to Self-realization, yet where realization is present, there is no door, as duality dissolves. All paths claim superiority, pulling like a game of tug-of-war, yet no path ultimately reaches the destination, for the path itself implies imperfection and duality. True knowledge opens into unity in all directions, beyond time and space, which is freedom. Self-realization is the highest knowledge, attained through practices like Jñāna-yoga, which requires Viveka (discrimination between the eternal Self and the transient world) and Vairāgya (dispassion). One must renounce vāsanās, or desires, which cause suffering. Practice involves Śama (inner calm), Dama (restraint of external temptations), and cultivating Śraddhā (trust in teachings and masters). The mind must be made clear and one-pointed like still water. Without the light of sādhanā and constant inquiry—asking "Who am I?"—the Self cannot be realized. This requires persistent practice and introspection until all ignorance dissolves. "Knowledge is the door, the open door, to Self-realization. And where realization or Self-realization is present... there is no door." "Without the light of sādhanā and vicāra (inquiry), the Ātma cannot be seen or realized."
