Spirituality depends on your inner behavior

Karma manifests through four paths: action, thought, word, and social position. Work is worship and spiritual practice. Thinking good of a master transfers their spiritual light; thinking badly means their actions, as a pure consciousness, rebound to you like dust thrown at the sun. Mental action is more dangerous than physical; measure feelings before thinking. Verbal karma is critical; wounds from harsh words last a lifetime. Before speaking, weigh your words to avoid harm and let speech flow like nectar. You must work normally; living off others accrues karma potentially leading to lower rebirth. Your words should inspire, not cause pain or confusion. Karma through social position, like a national leader's, involves hard decisions for all; understand rather than judge them. Misusing position or wealth brings karma back. Spirituality depends on inner behavior—actions, thoughts, and dealings without selfishness, hate, or jealousy. "Mental action is more dangerous than physical action." "If you are injured through harsh words, negative words, that will remain in your heart as a wound lifelong."

Protecting the environment is spiritual sadhana

Spiritual awareness is cultivated through trust and recognizing the sacredness in nature. A lake is holy because it gives water to all without refusal, even when polluted. A tree offers its fruit, shade, and oxygen to everyone and every creature, enduring all conditions without expectation. Vegetation is alive; instruments show plants react to threat or care. Climate change stems from our disrespect for nature. Protecting the environment is a spiritual act and a great prayer. Our dependency on plastic is deep, but we must strive to refuse non-durable plastics and recycle. We now carry water bottles because we have polluted our taps and rivers. Planting trees and cleaning garbage are practical spiritual practices. Rain falls for all without duality. A holy saint, like a mother, gives love and wisdom to everyone without distinction, offering access to all regardless of background. This unconditional love is God. "An American Indian once said, 'When the last tree is cut down and the last fish dies, you will realize you cannot eat your dollars.'" "He said, 'Come to me as you are. Do not hesitate if you are a sinner or a good person, if you are black or white, if you are a Hindu or a Muslim or a Christian. Come to me as you are.'" Filming location: Adelaide, Australia

Where am I and where will I go?

Two paths define life: the path of upliftment (utthāna) and the path of downfall (patan). Both originate from your society (saṅgha). Good society teaches good things and leads to achievement; bad society (ku saṅgha) teaches destructive habits that are hard to break. Human life must be more than base animal functions. Its mission is twofold: to protect and discern all creation using human intellect, and ultimately, to achieve God-realization and know the ultimate truth. This human life is rare and its future uncertain. Your destiny is the product of your karma—your thoughts, words, and deeds. Like a boomerang, your actions return to you. You cannot escape this self-created destiny. "Blessed, lucky, and fortunate are those who can have a good society, a good companion." "Destiny is the product of 'do good, get good; do bad, get bad.'"

Navigating Life's Situations

Life's situations require both your presence and external elements to manifest. You are not solely responsible; another party shares this. Unseen, indirect situations can trap you, forcing you to wait, work positively, believe, pray, and purify past mistakes. Situations vary—emotional, intellectual, political, social, financial, familial—and your action depends on the field. For inescapable situations where you seek help, you will find the needed assistance. You must seek expert guidance in each specific area and always pray to God for forgiveness. When you surrender and pray, everything will be directed positively. "You are not solely responsible; the other party shares in the responsibility as well." "When you surrender and pray to God, everything will undoubtedly be directed in a positive way." Filming location: Perth, Australia

Atma Gyan

The Ātmā does not come and go; you are only that Ātmā. All separation is a projection of ignorance upon the one, unchanging space. The divine will manifests as the many, an exhalation that will one day be inhaled back into the Self. We know this theoretically but do not realize it. If tigers entered, we would flee, proving we are still identified with the body. Fear is a God-given protection for survival; in measure it is healthy, but lodged fears should be removed. By working for Self-knowledge, you will attain it. "All this separation is a projection of ignorance. In truth, it is not there, yet we see it as being there." "Without fear, you cannot exist in this world. Without fear, you cannot live." Filming location: Perth, Australia

There is One God

The aim of human life is liberation, not death. Belief in God is for your own sake, as truth is unchanged by belief. Act positively through mind, speech, and action for yourself and all beings. Begin tasks with remembrance, such as a mantra when starting your car. The human spirit is unique, making humans protectors, not destroyers. See the divine light within all beings, not their forms or qualities. Be like a bee taking nectar or a swan separating milk from water; you are that discerning Paramahaṃsa. Do not fight over religions; those who know see one reality in all. Just as one moon reflects in many differently shaped cups, one God is reflected in every creature. God is both formless (Nirguṇa) and manifest in all creation, including 8.4 million life forms. Modern science affirms one human race, and spirituality awakens when you extend non-violence beyond humans to all creatures. "Love each and every entity, if not more, then that much as you love thyself." "See only the light of God." Filming location: Perth, Australia

Diamonds inside

A human being is a giver of love, not a seeker of it. We possess immense dormant energy and are not poor. We do not need others to love us; we need others as recipients for our love, like a screen for a film. Giving love is the action; receiving is a secondary effect that may follow. Happiness comes from the flow of giving, as in a hug. This giving without condition leads to oneness, dissolving duality. To walk the narrow street of love, two must become one in feeling. Practicing this inwardly brings understanding and world peace. "The street of love is so narrow, two cannot walk together." "Actually, we do not want anyone who loves us; we want someone to whom we can give our love." Filming location: Perth, Australia

Vedic Marriage

Yoga is the union of the individual self with the supreme self, which is liberation. Ordinary experience is one of separation, identifying with the body and mind, which is ignorance and the cause of suffering in the world of duality. Yoga removes this ignorance by stilling the mind's modifications, allowing pure consciousness to shine forth. The systematic path is the eight limbs, from ethical conduct to meditation, leading to super-conscious absorption. The non-dual truth is that only one reality exists; the individual self is that reality, and separation is an illusion. Various paths like selfless action, knowledge, and devotion all lead to the same goal of union. This journey from fragmentation to wholeness ends all sorrow and reveals infinite peace. "Yoga is the cessation of the modifications of the mind-stuff." "Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear."

The Divine Chambers of Being

The annamaya kośa, the food sheath, is the first of five chambers of being. Its purity determines the mind's state. Vedic philosophy describes five sheaths, not the dietary laws of kosher or halal. True religion is based on non-violence, a principle declared millennia ago. Most who claim a faith do not follow its core tenets, lost in materialism. The physical body is born, grows, and dies, but must be purified for the soul. Food influences this through the three guṇas. Rajas brings restlessness; tamas brings laziness and ignorance. Tāmasik food includes meat, fish, eggs, and stale items. Consuming such food directly affects the mind's clarity and one's spiritual progress. A story illustrates this: a saint ate food procured by a thief and was overcome by a desire to steal a golden idol. His intellect was corrupted until the impure food was sweated out. The teaching is clear: as you eat, so your mind becomes. Therefore, one must consume sāttvic food and offer it to the divine before eating, transforming it into blessed prasāda. This purifies the annamaya kośa. "Jaisā khāyegā anna, vaisā rahegā mana." "Yogaś citta vṛtti nirodhaḥ." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Foundation of Health: Purifying the Annamaya Kośa

The annamaya kośa, the physical sheath, is the foundation for all other layers of being, and its purification is essential. Haṭha Yoga is the branch created for purifying the annamaya kośa, requiring discipline and willpower. Its six purification kriyās, like netī and dhautī, remove physical, mental, and prāṇic disturbances (vikāras). This purification is meaningless without proper diet. Ayurveda emphasizes eating sweets first in a meal to aid digestion, contrary to some modern advice, though sweets should be limited. Proper nourishment requires whole grains, proteins from legumes like moong dāl, and organic vegetables and fruits. Overcooking destroys vitamins. White flour is harmful. Spices like turmeric and ginger are beneficial, with fresh garlic being sāttvic. Ghee is healthy but must be utilized through activity. Fasting, or kāya kalpa, regenerates the body but requires strict discipline. One must eat fresh, timely meals and chew solid foods for health. Traditional knowledge from grandmothers often surpasses modern dietary science. Ultimately, health depends on this nourishment. "Haṭha yoga is mainly for the purification of the annamaya kośa."

Yoga in Daily Life: A System for Holistic Well-being and Global Harmony

Yoga in Daily Life is a system for holistic well-being and global harmony. This system is built upon four pillars: physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. It is taught globally in diverse settings, from public centers to hospitals and prisons, serving all people. The organization engages in extensive humanitarian work, supporting education, women's empowerment, and environmental projects like rainwater harvesting in Rajasthan. It actively fosters interfaith dialogue and multicultural understanding to promote world peace. The teachings originate from an ancient spiritual lineage, emphasizing inner purification and the awakening of consciousness through yoga and meditation. "Our world situation is not in balance. War arises out of greed for power or differences in religious beliefs." "World peace is possible only when all people practice respect and recognition of other cultures and traditions."

You are Infinite, Pula

Yoga is the science of body, mind, and soul, with its essence found in kuṇḍalinī and cakras. This is a practical reality, not mere theory. The eternal, unchanging consciousness is your true self; knowing this ends suffering. Life is governed by karma, the law of cause and effect from every thought and deed. Yoga means union—balancing and harmonizing the individual with the cosmic. The human system contains 72,000 nāḍīs, or energy channels. Three primary channels—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā—relate to mind, intellect, and consciousness. These intersect, forming psychic centers called chakras. Their awakening leads to health, wisdom, and ultimately, liberation through union with the supreme consciousness. "Know thyself is the answer to all your questions, and we are out from all the sufferings and darkness of ignorance." "Yoga means union. Union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness."

Divine knowledge

Yoga is the universal principle of harmony and union, a discipline for balancing body, mind, and consciousness. Its aim is the union of the individual soul with the cosmic soul. This knowledge, parāvidyā, concerns the Supreme and is beyond material measurement. It dawns within and cannot be fully explained, like knowing how to drive. Yoga techniques guide one in maintaining harmony in all aspects of life. True progress requires lifelong humility and practice, not quick certification. Self-inquiry meditation means knowing thyself and being the change. Health is the primary wealth, maintained through healthy living. Life's difficulties are a school for development. Peace begins within the individual heart. The path requires following one chosen direction with faith, seeing the best in all, and dedicating all actions to the divine. "Yoga is the principle of harmony. Where there is harmony, there is unity, and therefore we always say yoga means union." "Meditation is to understand thyself, which I call self-inquiry meditation. Know thyself."

Kundalini and chakras

Yoga in Daily Life is a holistic system for physical, mental, social, and spiritual health, practiced globally for individual well-being and humanitarian service. The organization supports local communities through classes in prisons, hospitals, and aged care homes. It collaborates nationally with charities and internationally on projects like desert rainwater harvesting and education for women and children. The work is founded on principles of world peace, tolerance, and interfaith dialogue, recognizing one God worshipped in many forms. The spiritual teachings address the awakening of Kuṇḍalinī energy and the purification of consciousness through yoga, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. The mind is described as restless, transferring impressions between the conscious and subconscious; it must be guided by the intellect. Liberation comes from purifying karma and merging individual consciousness with the cosmic light. "Our world situation is not in balance. War arises out of greed for power or differences in religious beliefs. Be without discrimination, for world peace is possible only when all people practice respect and recognition of other cultures and traditions." "Awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means awakening of wisdom and knowledge. You become master of yourself, you become very clear, you are not confused."

Development of consciousness

Yoga in Daily Life is a system for holistic well-being and global harmony, founded on physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. It is taught globally in diverse settings, from public centers to hospitals and prisons. The associated humanitarian organization engages in local, national, and international projects, including education initiatives, desert rainwater harvesting, and fostering interfaith dialogue for tolerance and peace. The spiritual lineage traces back through ancient masters, emphasizing the guru's role in guiding seekers beyond the cycle of rebirth. Consciousness operates on three levels: waking, dream, and deep sleep, with the true Self as the witness of all. Karma, the law of action and reaction, dictates destiny, stored in the unconscious mind. Liberation from suffering is achieved through yoga, meditation, mantra, and selfless service. "Our world situation is not in balance. War arises out of greed for power or differences in religious beliefs. Be without discrimination, for world peace is possible." "Truth is a bitter truth, and there are rare people who can digest the truth. Belief does not change reality."

World Peace Summit, Bratislava

The summit addresses achieving peace for the individual and society. Religious conflict is a global problem, from the Middle East to Kashmir. The solution is recognizing one God beyond all theories. Peace is a dynamic state requiring constant work to maintain equilibrium. Conferences foster synergy, but intellectual talk must give way to transformative action that changes the human heart. True peace spreads through personal transformation and living as examples of non-violence. Respect for all cultures and building relationships as family are essential. The goal is positive action, moving from theory to a contagious, lived experience of unity. "Peace is a dynamic thing; it is not static." "Solutions through love, not through conflict."

Lecture followed by guided meditation

Yoga is the ancient balancing principle between cosmic consciousness and the universe. It is harmony and union, not merely physical exercise. The cosmos and consciousness exist in perfect balance within endless space. The first movement of consciousness is the resonant sound Om, from which the elements manifest. The individual soul separates from the cosmic whole through waves of this resonance. Consciousness circulates through 8.4 million life forms in a constant cycle of development and reincarnation, aiming to return to its origin. The perceived separation between the individual and the cosmic self is an illusion created by transient walls of qualities, just as walls divide space. The human being possesses five bodies: physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and causal. The causal body holds desires and the duality of fleeting joy versus everlasting bliss. Harmony among body, mind, and soul is essential for happiness and health. The human instrument includes 72,000 nāḍīs, channels for cosmic energy. Three primary nāḍīs govern the sun and moon principles—intellect and emotion. The mind is the functional link between the subconscious and conscious levels; it should be directed, not controlled. Destiny, the fruit of past actions, lies dormant at the unconscious level and guides the individual. The awakening of energy centers, or chakras, through practice leads toward superconsciousness. "The balancing principle is yoga. Yoga means balance. Where there is balance, there is harmony." "The mind is that function between the subconscious and the conscious, constantly bringing information to the intellect." Filming locations: Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.

Yoga is a science

Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul, a universal principle of balance and harmony. Our subject is Kuṇḍalinī and the chakras, the hidden powers in human consciousness. The chakras are centers that receive and circulate cosmic energy through the body. We possess five bodies or layers: the physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and causal bodies. The causal body holds desires and the potential for divine bliss. The soul is a collection of karma and qualities; it does not dissolve until self-realization is attained. Chakras must be purified through mantra and practice for the Kuṇḍalinī to awaken safely. Without proper guidance, this awakening can cause imbalance and distress. Life is love, and love is God. Creating friendship and walking the path with love is essential. The world is a field of karma for development, yet one must remain detached like a lotus in muddy water. The first chakra, Mūlādhāra, is the root foundation. Its red color represents concentrated energy and the earth element. The lotus symbolizes remaining untouched by worldly temptations while fulfilling one's duty. The four petals represent the four aims of human life: dharma (duty), artha (wealth), kāma (righteous desires and progeny), and mokṣa (liberation). "Yoga without spirituality is like a body without a soul; no achievement can take place without spirituality." "If you protect your dharma, dharma will protect you." Filming location: Australia

The modern technology is already in the Vedas

The mystery of existence and hidden powers within is explored. Ancient Vedic knowledge describes an endless universe born from empty space containing cosmic consciousness. This consciousness, residing within the universal mother principle, possesses a divine will to multiply. Creation unfolds through primordial sound, Aum, generating the elements. Among 8.4 million creatures, the human is unique for its limitless intellect. This intellect must be educated in tolerance, respect, and understanding to avoid fanaticism. Human consciousness develops through a cycle of rebirth, a truth unchanged by belief. Destiny is shaped by karma, the law of action and reaction. The human body contains a channeling system of 72,000 nāḍīs receiving cosmic energy. Three primary channels—Iḍā (moon/mind/emotion), Piṅgalā (sun/intellect/action), and Suṣumnā (consciousness)—must be balanced. The mind is a restless, changing principle functioning between conscious and subconscious levels. Do not block the mind like a dammed river, which causes psychic problems; instead, direct it through self-discipline. Balance emotion, intellect, and consciousness for a harmonious life. Awakening the dormant Kuṇḍalinī energy is a beautiful process requiring correct practice. "Yoga is the balancing principle... the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness." "The one God, one consciousness, one reality, one light is in every creature. Everyone is connected to that one." Filming location: Australia

Gurudev can make the impossible possible

Devotion is a fragile vessel that must be cultivated and protected. Its value lies in the feeling, not in physical objects. As that inner feeling increases, spiritual benefit increases; if it decreases, the benefit is lost. Doubt is a crack in this vessel, destroying its inner resonance and harmony. It can spoil devotion as lemon curdles milk, transforming its essence. This inner purity is the proper vessel for spiritual wisdom. Without it, teachings are lost. The body is temporary, but one should maintain health without excessive focus on it. The ultimate aim is the supreme reality. "Benefit is in the bhāva (feeling, value), not in the goods." "Doubt is a crack in a beautiful vase or an instrument. When there is a crack, there is no resonance." Filming location: Australia

The Pearl of Everlasting Bliss

Life's deepest treasure is complete and everlasting bliss, the crown of self-realization rooted in God-realization. Rare beings attain this pearl of Paramānanda. A seeker's deep prayer brought him face-to-face with his divine master, seeing the form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. He became a true disciple, devoting body, mind, and soul. He received the highest spiritual initiation, instantly attaining samādhi. His life was a permanent establishment in the highest spiritual experience under his master's guidance. As a spiritual successor, he built and established āśrams, tirelessly spreading the light. He preached non-dualism, non-violence as the highest religion, and the unity of all humanity through song and service. His devotion was Parabhakti, love without reservation, repeating the divine name for over eighteen hours daily. Such love overcomes all obstacles between us and God. He became a living testament that this realization is possible. "My eyes filled with tears, and I fell to my knees. I knew I had found the everlasting light of my life." "All humans belong to one religion, and that is humanity." Filming location: Bola Guda, India

The Garden of Life

Behind the manifested world lies the divine existence, the only source of true fulfillment. Humanity's quest for totality leads to a spiritual garden. This place serves life on multiple levels. A refuge protects all beings. A school provides the gift of knowledge and unity. The key to success is self-discipline. The highest service guides seekers from the transient to the absolute. A festival honors the guru, who transforms consciousness. Students are initiated into focused learning. The greatness of the Guru is our own divine nature, realized by removing veils of false identity. Dharma is the duty to know thy Self, requiring a living master. The final goal is realized happiness. Service extends to harvesting life-giving water for the desert. A saint's effort manifests a lake, turning desert into a garden. Pilgrimages follow the spiritual lineage, visiting temples of immortal presence. The return is to the heart saturated with divine light. Ceremonies consecrate the guru's eternal presence through fire and symbol. A knower of life's divine essence becomes life itself in service. "Self-discipline is the key to success." "Dharma means duty... to know thyself." Filming locations: Rajasthan, India.

The Glory of Gurudeva's Name

The true means to supreme bliss is satsang, yet worldly pursuits are filled with sorrow. Only the divine incarnation of the Supreme Guru bestows true happiness and Self-knowledge. Without the Guru, there is no knowledge, and without knowledge, sorrow has no end. No being has ever attained the Soul-Supreme without a Guru. Great ascetics with supernatural powers, like Sanghdev who lived 1,400 years, still lacked soul-knowledge until liberated by enlightened saints. Similarly, the egoistic tantric Bhaskarananda was transformed upon hearing the Guru's words, realizing his inner faults. The Guru's name, chanted with faith, crosses the ocean of worldly existence. A human life without devotion is like an animal's; one must perform spiritual practice and service. The root of meditation is the Guru's form; the root of worship is the Guru's feet. "Śiva, Viṣṇu, Brahmā... guru vinā bhav nidhi tīre na koi." (Even Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma cannot cross the ocean of existence without the Guru.) "Kabuk deva bhayog karni kar... toy nidayo satguru apke mo jagayo." (Sometimes one becomes a god, sometimes an insect... only the True Guru awakens you.)

Seva Dharma is greatest Dharma

Service is the greatest duty, a path of helping others in all ways. Teaching is a golden opportunity for service, generating good karma. A teacher carries a divine light that must be shared to remain fresh, like moving water that does not spoil. True teaching requires surrendering the role of the doer to the divine, allowing it to speak through you. A genuine teacher is not made in a short course but through deep study of anatomy, psychology, and ancient wisdom, understanding the individual, not general, nature of yoga. The ultimate aim transcends cycles of heaven and rebirth, which are limited or burdensome, to realize oneness with Brahman, becoming universal consciousness. "Seva Dharma is the greatest Dharma—the duty to serve or to help." "If you think that you are speaking, then that water is merely water in a tank, and that water will soon finish because a tank has no source of inflow." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Master and Disciple Tradition

A master transmits spiritual knowledge to a disciple. There are three types of disciples: the worst avoids tasks, the middle one acts only when told, and the best anticipates and acts. A master selects from these. This mirrors how a wasp identifies a specific worm destined to transform into its own kind; the chosen disciple is the one who hungrily receives the teaching. The connection between master and disciple spans lifetimes. The master transmits the spiritual light—the soul or ātmā—to the disciple through blessings and a final conscious transfer, often at the moment of the master's death, ensuring the living continuity of the tradition. This eternal master-disciple lineage is the core of a living religion. The transmission requires the disciple to renounce personal interest and cultivate a universal consciousness. The master must be strict to properly prepare the disciple, much as family tradition is passed with care to sustain it. "All the ṛṣis were married and had children, yet even they could not give their wisdom to their children—only to the disciple." "The master lets this light go through the Ājñā Chakra into the disciple. How? Through blessings." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

How do people come to yoga?

Yoga is an endless, lifelong journey of deepening practice and understanding. The techniques are precise, designed through careful analysis of the body and its complete functions. The human body, perfectly designed and set into function, is united with nature and constantly changing. To understand universal mysteries, we must go beyond present memory using inner energies. Movement activates all energy centers and systems. Breath is a deep mystery; the body is self-sustaining, dependent only on external food and drink. The breath connects us to the Cosmic Mother, a constant nourishing energy. Prāṇa is the life force from God present in all living beings. It is received through breath, nourishment like fresh sāttvic food, and movement. Natural materials are advised as the body inhales through the skin. "Yoga is not something you do just for three months. It is lifelong, and it continues even after this life." "Prāṇa has no direct translation. Some call it breath, some call it energy, some call it vitality, some call it life force, but still it is not that." Filming location: Hungary

What is the soul? It is not the same as the Self (Atma).

The soul is not the self; the self is the universal ātmā. The formless power governing all universes is Parameśvara or Īśvara, which rules a solar system. The body is governed by the universal ātmā. The individual soul, Jīvātmā, is distinct—it carries all karma, psyche, and identity, fluttering through time and rebirth in the mortal world. The soul is individual and experiences heaven or hell. The universal ātmā is immortal and unborn. "My ātmā and your ātmā are the same ātmā." "The soul is a kind of ball where all your karmas are concentrated... That is your identity."

Suggestion of "Yoga in daily life" for happiness: create a happy family! In India it is said: "Whole

Singing together creates harmony through shared words and resonant melody, removing family disharmony. Modern life scatters families, destroying this unity. The tradition of yoga offers therapy to create a happy family or a spiritual family for those alone. Join this worldwide family through ashrams, classes, or temples. If alone, read and meditate peacefully. The whole world is one family; live in harmony. Yoga brings harmony for body, mind, and soul. Radiant soul energy touches the chakras; focus love in the heart and knowledge in the Ājñā chakra for happiness. Ego and greed block this energy, creating a gap that causes physical and emotional disharmony, hindering concentration. The practice of Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma heals this gap and restores harmony. Satsaṅg, spiritual gathering, is crucial. A person loving and respecting others finds happiness with family or spiritual siblings. Avoid gossip and negativity in satsaṅg, as it reflects inner disharmony and brings negative karma. Use knowledge to accept things, leading to relaxation. Inner negativity makes one feel isolated. Think positively. Longing for spiritual community is profound. Spiritual companions are a source of harmony and partners on the path. Like seeds within a fruit, individuals thrive within the satsaṅg. Longing for spiritual meeting is like a fish longing for water. The soul is like a swan in the heart's lake, nourished by pearls of wisdom from the Guru's words. Without satsaṅg, a devotee starves for this nourishment. Satsaṅg quenches spiritual thirst. All holy scriptures preach love, harmony, and kindness.

When you purify your negative karmas, you will come to the enlightment

The aim of human life is to become one with God again. Purifying negative karma leads to enlightenment, where individuality is lost like a drop merging into the ocean. Every religion is a river flowing toward that divine ocean. Yoga is the practical path for this journey, not mere theory; practice is essential to receive its benefits for health and harmony. Human intellect, distinct from animals, must be developed through ethical education. This intellect, coordinated with the heart, allows humans to uniquely understand and protect all beings, fulfilling our role as guardians. Life is for God-realization, moving beyond basic animal instincts. "Tons of theory are as nothing compared to a single gram of practice." "Human life is given for God-realization."

On what basis should we judge India? According to the old scriptures whole World is one family

The world's wisdom is universal, not confined to any single land. A nation should not be judged by a brief period. The modern pursuit of materialism leads to neglect of ancient spirituality, resulting in unhappiness. Yet, profound knowledge belongs to the entire globe. There is only one God, the single creator and divine consciousness that fashioned all unique creatures and this beautiful world. Every leaf and every living entity has a distinct design; no two are alike. We all belong to that one God alone, and unity exists within this diversity. If humanity accepted this, there would be no problems. "Vasudeva Kuṭumbakam. The whole world is one family—the one family of one God." "There cannot be two gods. There is only one God."

Anniversary of Mahaprabhuji's mahasamadhi

Yoga is for the betterment of humanity and all creation. It develops consciousness to protect life and the environment. We are all human, born without religious labels; those teachings come later. Every religion aims to realize God and live harmoniously. The ultimate truth and God are one, though people understand this through their own traditions. Yoga supports all in understanding their own spirituality. It is universal, like the sun, good for everyone regardless of belief. It offers health—physical, mental, social, and spiritual—which everyone desires. The teachings emphasize unity and mutual understanding without fanaticism. Changing religions through temptation creates problems. The highest principle is selfless service to all beings without expectation. Divine incarnations and their grace, like the sunrise, are for the entire planet and all life, not for any particular group. They come for righteousness and to oppose wrongdoing, which all religions recognize as leading to suffering or reward. "Yoga is like the sun. We cannot say the sun is not good for this religion or this person." "The highest principle is help, nothing else. But don't help with any kind of expectation or conditions."

Begin each day with divine intention to shape your consciousness and experience. Upon waking, immediately offer gratitude and set a positive tone. Your first thoughts manifest, so affirm peace, light, and love. Do not return to sleep; this "Asura sleep" belongs to lower consciousness and brings fatigue. The early Brahma Muhurta is a golden, creative hour. Start your routine with purification, prayer, and meditation. Your initial vision should be of a beloved or divine form, seeding the day with harmony. Sanātana Dharma is the encompassing skin holding all dharmas within, like a pomegranate. You must internally hold all beings without negative judgment. Happiness is self-accepted; choose thoughts that make you smile. Harmonious relationships require mutual understanding and sacrifice, not seeking a better partner elsewhere. "Morning hours are called the golden hour. Morning is Brahma Muhurta. Time of Brahman."

You should have a Satsang in every Center

Satsaṅg and deep reflection on spiritual teachings are essential. Hold gatherings to read from sacred texts. Then, engage in manana, meaning to think over and grasp the essence of what was read. You must reflect deeply. Consider how a person dwells on a casual insult all day, feeling shame and repeatedly questioning it. Apply that same persistent, contemplative focus to the Guru's words. Reflect upon spiritual teachings with that intensity until you discover the truth within them. The practice is to contemplate the sacred utterance because of its profound significance. "Similarly, you should also think about spiritual words, the Guru Vākyas. Reflect upon them until you find the truth within them." "In the same manner, you must contemplate the Guru Vākya because of the significance of what is said." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Advice for new yoga teachers -- for consideration of others, too

Yoga is the universal principle of balance, the force that harmonizes all elements and systems. It originates from the divine and is preserved through spiritual lineage. Success in yoga, which aims for self-realization and union with Brahman, requires initiation into a guru tradition. This is not about physical postures alone but depends on the Master's spiritual transmission to a surrendered disciple. Progress is assured only on this established path, not on self-made approaches. The guru's grace is the expressway. A true teacher merges with the guru's consciousness, works selflessly to liberate others, and transmits the original wisdom without personal addition. One remains a student for life, with realization coming at the final moment. The entire world operates on the teacher-disciple system; rejecting the need for a guru is the greatest ignorance. "Where there is no guru paramparā—where one is not initiated by the guru lineage—your yoga cannot be successful." "Gurū nām jahāj hai, chāṛhe so tare par jāī. The name of your Gurū Dev is a boat.

The spiritual lineage gives the security. If you say you don't need the Master, the burden of the wh

The uniqueness of this spiritual path lies in its unwavering loyalty to the master's lineage. I observed many speakers who never mention their master. Our tradition always honors the lineage first. Just as street water becomes holy only upon entering the Ganges, a disciple only becomes a master by entering the master's consciousness. If a stream leaves the Ganges, it is no longer called Ganga water. Similarly, those who leave their master lose the guru principle. Your worldly status does not matter to your master; you remain a disciple. It is beneficial to be a disciple, for the master carries the responsibility. Declaring yourself a master places the world's burden upon you. This path is that divine way. Be loyal and grateful to it and its lineage. Our roots trace to an ancient saint. Follow the system and the lineage. Do not mix in your own creations. The sacred text is the embodiment of the master. Those with truth in their heart will find realization within it. "Only that disciple becomes the master who enters into the master's consciousness." "Believe that the literature of the Gurudev is the embodiment of himself." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Teach always with the consciousness of "naham karata"

The foundation of teaching is complete surrender to the divine will, not personal agency. Your authorization to teach is formalized by a diploma and requires a valid license for the trademark and method, ensuring institutional control. There is no compromise in maintaining the quality of the teachings, exercises, and intellectual understanding. This structured system exists alongside the imperative to always teach and practice in the specific consciousness of the supreme master. The blessing concludes the transmission of both spiritual authority and institutional responsibility. "Always teach with the consciousness of: 'Nāhaṁ Kartā, Prabhudīp Kartā, Mahāprabhudīp Kartāhi Kevalam.'" "This certificate authorizes you to teach the system 'Yoga in Daily Life'—only in connection with a valid license for using the trademark and method." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Don't stop! Continuity brings you forward everywhere, this is the key to the success

The critical point is maintaining the continuity of your spiritual process, not the achievement itself. A fruit develops through an unbroken process from blossom to ripeness. Similarly, your spiritual journey is a continuous process that suffers from any interruption: a lack of discipline, a lack of devotion like water, or the insects of bad company. Your lifestyle is just a phase, but the process requires detachment and the endurance to stand through all situations. It requires devotion, where your entire being belongs to that point without doubt. Many begin and stop, thinking personal practice at home is enough, but that is not sufficient. Darśan is essential, like rain for thirsty plants; it revitalizes your practice. Never think what you know is significant; a true seeker knows they do not know. Do not let laziness, selfishness, or a lack of money stop you. The cause of your suffering is within you; you stopped practicing. This practice is exclusively for your own realization. "Where there is achievement, there is no way. When you come to achievement, then all struggling and all different paths end." "Darśan is like rain for thirsty plants." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Everything is for you what you do

The spiritual path and its consequences are yours alone. If you neglect your practice, you suffer the loss. If you practice, you gain the benefit. Your loss or gain belongs solely to you. If you revert to an animalistic existence, that fate is yours, leading to suffering. Whether you are reborn as a human or attain a divine state, the outcome is exclusively your own. This is a profoundly personal matter. The consequences are yours alone. No family member—not a spouse, child, or parent—will share this burden. You must walk this path by yourself. "If you neglect, it is your loss. If you practice, it is your gain." "Neither husband nor wife, nor children nor parents, will share this burden with you." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Seva and karmayoga

The path requires purification and discipline through selfless service and consistent practice. Seva Karma Yoga purifies the inner faculties—mind, intellect, ego, and consciousness—but only when performed without ambition or conditions. Many struggle because these inner faculties are impure and discipline is lacking. You have endured suffering across many lives and forms, but now possess a human life and consciousness; you must utilize this opportunity. Time does not wait, and realization must be accomplished through your own physical, mental, emotional, and social conduct. Do not compare yourself to others; your sole concern must be your own realization. Purify your inner faculties and never abandon your practice. Āsanas and prāṇāyāma are as vital as meditation and mantra for health and concentration. Neglecting physical exercise breeds laziness, which leads to neglecting spiritual practice, which then invites negative influences and company. Your development is in your hands. "O mind, you lost everything with the kuṣaṅgīs." "Seva must be performed without any ambition. If there are ambitions or conditions, your action is not accepted as true service but merely as a self-interested duty." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Instructions about Navaratri and Shraadh

Navarātri begins on Friday, marking the Divine Mother's sacred nine nights. The lunar calendar shows a double Chaturdaśī, shifting Amāvasyā to Thursday, making Friday Pratipadā, the festival's start. During these nine nights, place a light, red cloth, and flowers before the Divine Mother's photo. If health permits, eat once daily, light incense, pray, and avoid physical contact with partners. Cleanse body, mind, and feelings in dedication. In divinity, beyond the astral, there is no gender duality; there is only the Supreme Mother. Navarātri occurs twice yearly; this Śarada period is for ancestral rites, Śrāddha, where children perform ceremonies for departed family liberation, linking to traditions like All Saints' Day. After Navarātri, Daśaharā commemorates Rāvaṇa's defeat, and twenty days later, Dīvālī arrives. "Clean your body, clean your mind, clean your thoughts, clean your feelings, and dedicate yourself to the Divine Mother." "In divinity, above our astral body, there is no duality of any genders. There are no genders. There is only one, and that is the Supreme—that is the Supreme Mother." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

let it come as it comes

The subject is how to speak from divine inspiration, not prepared intellect. I contemplated what to say during the flight. I meditated and had a vision of the entire spiritual lineage. I asked again what to speak. I recalled Gurujī's teaching to avoid "old food"—pre-written speeches are stale. True speaking comes when you surrender to the inner Guru. The human mission is self-realization, to become one with the Divine. This is our protector's duty. In spiritual discourse, there is no protocol except speaking the ultimate truth. The prepared mind cannot convey the fresh word of God that arises from within the heart. "Don't serve old food." "In every heart, God is residing. But we adore... that heart in which God begins to speak." Filming location: London, UK

The Eternal Relation: Sanātana Dharma and the Unity of Spirit

Sanātana Dharma reveals the eternal relation uniting all beings to the cosmic source. The dialogue is not to prove one tradition best, but to understand the path to freedom present in all. Sanātana means relation, indicating each individual is related to the cosmic one. Ātmā is Paramātmā; the universal Self and the individual are one. Duality, like walls separating space, is an illusion of the manifested world which will dissolve. Dharma is the inherent duty or principle of everything, from fire giving heat to familial roles. Protecting dharma protects you. From this eternal dharma comes religion, which also means relation. Realizing your relation is the goal. Knowledge and love bring freedom; ignorance creates boundaries. Every individual and master has different experiences, but the truth is the same, like space within and outside a house. Different streams of belief developed, all held together by dharma as a fruit's skin holds its seeds. Spirituality is the spirit of purity in thought and action. God resides in a pure heart without duality. Yoga is the ancient unifying power that balances all elements and functions within the body and the universe, beyond mere physical exercise. "Knowledge unites and ignorance divides." "Dharma rakṣita rakṣitaḥ: if you protect your dharma, dharma will protect you." Filming location: Edinburgh, UK

Bhajan,kirtan,mantra

The essential path is bhajan, the remembrance and meditation on God. No saint has attained higher consciousness without this devotion. Bhajan is not merely chanting; it is the act of becoming one with the divine through love. Salt may dissolve in water yet remain separate, but true devotion requires complete union, like two becoming one to pass a narrow path. Bhajan surpasses simple name repetition, as it contains teachings and wisdom that answer the seeker's questions. This practice requires unconditional love, or niṣkām bhakti, free from material expectations. The power of mantra is a compact resonance for the mind, yet direct approach is necessary. Ultimately, devotion is the bypass for realization, and humility before a master is essential, for knowledge flows only to the receptive vessel. "Bhaja means to remember God. Learn of God, meditate on God, try to concentrate on Him." "Niṣkām bhakti is love without any expectation." Filming location: Edinburgh, UK

four ways to create karma

The individual soul is a ball of karma created through four channels. Thinking is the first karma; good thoughts illuminate your reality, while negative thoughts poison it. Speech is the second; kind words create harmony and are an enlightenment, whereas harsh words create disharmony and trouble. The third channel is the subtle use of power or wealth; misusing social position or money for negative ends brings negative returns, just as using them for good brings positive returns. The fourth is direct physical action. These are the ways you generate karma for the self. "Good thinking illuminates your phenomenon. Negative thinking poisons your phenomenon." "Your words are like a knife, or your words are like nectar." Filming location: London, UK

Mala is broken and the pearls spread

The mala of partnership is broken, its sacred meaning lost in modern culture. Śiva, our inner consciousness, warns Pārvatī, our devotion, not to sleep—for sleep is ignorance. Yet that devotional power, to which even the gods surrender, is now broken. A cherished vase, passed down generations, falls and shatters. The pearls are scattered; the flame is blown out. Do not renounce everything, as Śiva did, only to find trouble. Let it be. "The mala is broken. The pearls are scattered." "Śiva tried his best. Śiva tried very hard."

Devotion, Love and Marriage (part 1)

The aim of human life is to be free from all ties, yet this freedom does not mean cutting off love. Dependence on anything—physical, emotional, mental, or financial—creates imprisonment and unhappiness. We were caught in the cycle of rebirth by our karmas and senses, enduring immense pain. The soul finds it difficult to leave the body, often due to fear of the pain of separation, which stems from past attachments. Practice detachment, for nothing is owned forever; everything is given for a while. If you relinquish attachments willingly, there is joy and freedom. If they are taken, it brings pain and anger. Look within; you will see attachment is the source of trouble. The goal is mokṣa, liberation from karmic bondage. Imagine a bird in a cage, its nature is to fly limitless. We have imprisoned ourselves. To be with a partner lifelong is beautiful; spirituality grows together. The two partners are like two wings for a bird to fly; their souls become one. This requires love and devotion. A story illustrates this: a Mughal emperor tested a king's claim of his wife's faithfulness. An agent, through deception, obtained the queen's most cherished token—a knife from her husband—and knowledge of a secret scar. The king, presented with this 'evidence' of infidelity, begged to return home for one day with the knife, promising to return. "Either you give it up, or it will be taken away from you. If you give up by your free will, there is joy in it, happiness and freedom." "The two bodies, the physical bodies, are the two wings of the bird. And the ātmā of both becomes one soul of that bird, and this cannot happen without love." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Devotion, Love and Marriage (part 2)

A wife's devotion and truth can restore justice and a husband's honor. A queen's husband is exiled due to his brother-in-law's false accusations. The sad queen deduces the plot. She disguises herself as a swāmī, travels to the king, and charms him with devotional singing. When offered a boon, she claims the brother-in-law owes her money. The man truthfully denies knowing the swāmī. The queen reveals her identity, explaining the brother-in-law deceived her in her palace. The king imprisons the brother-in-law and frees her husband, praising her. True marriage is heart-to-heart devotion, not mere emotion. One must wait patiently for a destined partner, not be ruled by immediate senses, to find real happiness. "See how a wife can protect the husband, and how the husband can put his hand on his heart and speak on behalf of his wife. That is called devotion." "Mother Earth will not lose the seeds. Even if there is a drought for ten years, after ten years when the rain comes, you will be surprised how many seeds grow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Story of the Holy Amarnathji

The eternal secret of Amarnāth concerns the divine quest for immortality. Pilgrims journey to a holy cave where a natural ice liṅgam forms. The story recounts how Pārvatī asked Śiva about his garland of skulls. He revealed each skull represented a past life and death of Pārvatī herself. Distressed by her mortality, she pleaded for the secret of immortality. Śiva agreed to teach her alone in a secluded cave, first ensuring no living creature could overhear. However, a parrot's egg survived nearby. As Śiva taught the secret, Pārvatī fell asleep, but the newly hatched parrot listened and became immortal. Śiva pursued the parrot, which ultimately found refuge within the wife of the sage Vedavyāsa and was born as the sage Sukhdev. The cave remains a site where two eternal pigeons reside, witnesses to this divine event. "Your dear one and our divine one, the universal Lord Śiva—why does he have the mālā around his neck, the mālā of skulls?" "As many skulls as you see in my mālā, that many times you were born and died." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

No magic can influence you

Seeking external prophecy is futile and creates dependency. If you have an astrologer friend, you are never free from planetary effects; if you have a doctor friend, you are never free from medical advice. Similarly, consulting cards or psychics only confuses you. I state clearly: those prophesying cannot see the future—it is only psychology. They have no insight into your past. If they could, they should predict lottery numbers with 100% certainty. Test them repeatedly; only then believe. No one can influence you through magic; it is your fear that creates this. What could a magician want from you? They have no reason to target you. If they could influence, they would target powerful leaders, but those leaders are intelligent and clear. Your fear decreases your willpower, and that fear itself is the terrible magic. If people can do magic, they do not do negative; they have pure hearts and act with love. Therefore, do not worry. "These people who are prophesying cannot see the future. It is only psychology." "No one can influence you through magic. It is your fear that creates this happening."
