Do not suppress problems but face them with awareness and laughter. Pushing down fears or unwanted thoughts gives them strength, as they gather similar energies and eventually erupt uncontrollably. Sharing difficulties, especially through laughter, disarms them. Real spirituality is filled with joy, not solemnity. Techniques like yoga, meditation, and prayer work by relinquishing control, allowing relaxation and observation without interference. Do not be deceived by appearances or internal blackmail; never negotiate with your own excuses. External rituals are meaningless without genuine inner feeling, for true offering is made with love, not empty formality. "Everything that comes is good, and try to be aware of that." "If you have a problem, a fear, or something similar... just calm those thoughts and feelings." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The bhajan of the Name is profound adoration for the Guru, who is present as a divine manifestation. We offer repeated bows to those holy feet. This practice is not insignificant; it holds great depth and meaning. The song itself is a vehicle for this devotion. Its value lies in the reverence it expresses, not in its duration. True significance is found in the act of worship itself. The focus remains on the Guru's grace and presence. "My adoration to the Guru." "You came, he is here as an avatār, and again and again I bow to thy holy lotus feet." Filming location: Slovenska Vas, Slovenia

A bhajan reveals the devotee's singular lament and the nature of grace. The song addresses the Lord as Dindayāl, the merciful one to the suffering. A core line asks if the Lord, absorbed in divine bliss, has forgotten the supplicant. The devotee takes shelter, declaring the Lord as everything—the beginning, end, and sole refuge. The wait feels long, prompting the question of delay. The lyrics then identify the guru with Śiva, listing his divine family: Pārvatī, Nandi, and Gaṇeśa. This establishes the guru as the ultimate reality. The closing verses speak of absolute dedication, using the term "balihārī" to mean the sacrifice of ego, not a physical offering, as illustrated by the story of King Bali's devotion to Vāmana. The true offering is the heart in folded hands, for nothing else is ours to give. "Kya bhulga ye Śiva ap nijānandalerī? Did you forget about me in your bliss?" "Śaraṇa Bali Hari means I am completely devoted to you. It’s sacrifice, but of ego. And this we have the name called devotion." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Gurupurnima program from Jadan, Rajasthan, India.

A special bhajan of liberation is presented today. All listeners today are truly fortunate. This bhajan was composed by the guru. It is written on Bālag. The guru declared listening to be the only path to liberation. Singing and hearing it grants all attainments. All sorrows are destroyed through it. The guru sings this bhajan every year. Thus, this bhajan is a perfect space for seekers. In fifteen days, the Barsi of Deveśvara Mahādev occurs. It will be held at Kailāś Āśram in Sīkar district. All should attend that gathering. Daily satsaṅg takes place there. Each day, bhajans are sung. Right now, this special bhajan is offered. Listen with comfort. Focus deeply on its words. "Listening to it is the only way for all of us to attain liberation." "By singing this bhajan and listening to this bhajan, all things are attained, and all sorrows are destroyed."

The resolve for auspiciousness is the foundation of being. From the sacred resolve, all creation emerges. The senses, elements, and cosmic principles originate from this divine intention. The recitation stabilizes the mind and anchors the awareness in truth. Through this practice, one establishes inner harmony and perceives the underlying unity. The repeated invocation sanctifies consciousness and aligns it with the supreme will. This alignment is the essence of spiritual discipline. May your mind be established in an auspicious resolve. "From the resolve, the sacred was born; from the sacred, the vital breaths were born." "May your mind be of auspicious resolve; may your resolve be auspicious." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The sacred invocation and the mundane instruction exist without contradiction, each serving its purpose in its own realm. The ancient verse opens a space of reverence, a traditional honoring of divine principles and auspicious beginnings. The modern sentence then addresses the practical reality of communal digital engagement. One does not negate the other; they are sequential layers of a single act. The spiritual offering stands complete in itself, requiring no logical bridge to the administrative note that follows. The mind seeks consistency where none is needed, creating a perceived disconnect from its own habit of linear narrative. "The sacred invocation and the mundane instruction exist without contradiction." "One does not negate the other; they are sequential layers of a single act."

The sacred syllable Om is the primal vibration from which this three-qualitied illusion of the world is projected. From Om, all knowledge and the Vedas themselves emerged. The true knower, realizing this, finds bliss. The Guru's grace is essential for this realization. Without the Guru's guidance, one remains lost, not knowing what to do with worldly or spiritual wealth. The Guru's feet are the ultimate pilgrimage, praised by the Vedas and Purāṇas. The divine sound, Śabda, is the ultimate power; it does not kill but slays limitation. Through the Guru's arrival at the eternal door, the soul finds liberation. "From Om, the three-qualitied Maya created this world." "The Vedas and Purāṇas sing, 'Guru’s feet are the sacred pilgrimage.'" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Evening satsang with H.H. Vishwaguruji from Guruji Ashram, Vienna, Austria.

The human birth is a rare and urgent opportunity. The scriptures and all aspects of existence point to a single imperative. The sole necessity is to fix the mind upon the Guru's name. This precious human form is exceedingly difficult to obtain again. One must become truly human in this very moment. By being steadfast in this practice, the vision of the true Self is attained. Do not waste this fleeting chance. "Oh lamp of qualities, Hari, fix your mind on the Guru’s name. This opportunity will not come again; be human." "This is the totality of knowledge: to be human."

A monument is being created in memory of Krishnanaji. Swāmījī requested a monument be placed in the main square of Vép. This model is sixty centimeters, but the final stone monument will be two hundred twenty. Krishnanaji passed three years ago during the COVID time. He was the foundational seed for yoga and the lineage in Hungary. When Swāmījī first visited, he stayed in their home for a month with devotees. Upon leaving, Swāmījī said he had left two seeds there. The entire growth of the system in Hungary is the fruit of Krishnanaji's work. He organized international seminars and an ashram. He was like a citizen of Vép, known by the mayor and community. The monument will stand beside peace trees planted by the mayor and Viśva Gurujī. It will preserve his vivid memory for everyone. "Now I left here two seeds. Let's see what is going on, what will grow out of it." "He was really the seed of the seed in Hungary for yoga in life and in the paramparā."

This gathering is about devotion, purity, and practical spiritual guidance. Our heartfelt devotion creates a peaceful atmosphere where the divine presence is felt. The cow is revered as a mother, a source of grace and healing that offers everything. You must avoid harmful foods like eggs, which cause quick disease and many problems despite what others may say. Personal stories show the power of dietary purity, leading to peace and health. The spiritual power within objects like a prayer mala is very great and internal, meant to be respected and passed on properly, not discarded. We must clean ourselves through pure practices, water, and discipline. The essence involves foundational spiritual principles. "People often come and say, 'My God is here.'" "Please, please... do not give to your children, or to any person... do not bring it any time and do it like this. Your disease will become very, very quick." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

A devotee pleads for the Satguru's protection and honor. The Guru's power is described as encompassing mighty forces while maintaining perfect stillness. The plea references a devotee seeking refuge, ultimately leaving other companionship. The speaker appeals for mercy, acknowledging it is now their turn for grace. Instructions are given for writing specific praises. A final verse invokes divine names and forms. "You have encompassed the water and the elephant, and the water remained still." "O Satguru, preserve my honor." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Life presents two paths: one of the world and one to God. The worldly path, introduced by family and society, leads to suffering. The spiritual path, called Parmārth or Satsaṅg, leads to true bliss and God. Only the Sadguru introduces one to the world's creator, a truth we often overlook. We acknowledge a maker for human artifacts like cloth, yet seldom consider the divine creator behind mountains, rivers, and stars. Meeting such a Guru requires the accumulated merit of many lifetimes. This connection ultimately guides one to God, the source of bliss, away from the world's sorrow. "The only one who brings us to God is the Sadguru Dev." "The world is a form of sorrow. God is a form of true bliss." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing.

The world is a mirror for self-observation and correction. Instructions are given for our protection, like maintaining distance to help others effectively. Without distance, one can be pulled down, just as a swimmer can be drowned by what seemed a blanket but is a bear. People often seek attention through behavior, displaying a symbolic hook. While giving energy is not a loss, awareness prevents being caught on that hook. Observing others' physical postures reflects our own; correct yourself upon seeing it. Your reality is shaped by the quality of your thoughts. Negative thoughts, rooted in evolutionary vigilance, create a personal hell. Discipline is required to replace negative thoughts with positive ones, rewiring the brain over time. Scriptures serve as mirrors, revealing human problems and their solutions. "Therefore, always maintain distance. If you do not, you are no longer in a position to help." "Your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. Whether you are in heaven or hell depends only on the quality of your thoughts." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Dharma is one's essential duty. Each person has a specific role. The neighbor's path often seems easier, but shortcuts can lead to longer journeys. A sage repeatedly saved a drowning scorpion, accepting its stings. The sage's dharma was compassion; the scorpion's dharma was to sting. Both were performing their nature. Similarly, persist in your own duty without giving up, regardless of setbacks. Do not envy another's path. The story of Nārada teaches that ego leads to misunderstanding. He sought a form for personal desire and was taught a lesson. Reduce the "I" and learn from mistakes. Do not blame others or God. Follow your own heart with your guru's guidance and give your full dedication. "My dharma as a sannyāsī is compassion to every single living being. So I’m doing my dharma by putting it out of the water... And the scorpion’s dharma is to sting when it feels danger." "When he knows that this is not good for us, but our itch, our wish to have that certain thing is very high, he will still make that wish complete in another way that makes us realize that, okay, this path is not good for me."

A garland of offerings and blessings is presented through sacred verses and invocations. The recitation honors divine forms and the supreme principle pervading all worlds. The guru is saluted as the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and liberation. Prayers for peace are extended to all realms, beings, and deities. A series of disciples from various places are then acknowledged, each receiving symbolic gifts including flowers, a shawl, and a dachshund. This concludes the ceremonial blessings. "Dhyāna Mūlam, Guru Mūrti, Pūjā Mūlam, Guru Padam, Mantra Mūlam, Guru Vākya, Mokṣa Mūlam, Guru Kṛpā." "Śānti rapāḥ śānti raukṣadyāhaṃ śānti vanaspataya śānti viśvedevāḥ śānti brahma śānti sarvaguṃ śānti śānti reva śānti sama śānti redhi." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The choice between uplifting company and degrading association determines one's spiritual trajectory. One constantly engages with either positive or negative influences. A dedicated individual was corrupted through food secretly adulterated with meat, which altered his mental state and destroyed his spiritual practices. This demonstrates how subtle influences can erode discernment. The negativity inherent in bad company is potent and often overpowers positive intent. Human beings possess the unique faculty of discernment to choose the right path. Therefore, one must consciously seek satsaṅga and a spiritually aligned partner to foster a supportive environment for progress. The grace of the Guru is the sole source of everlasting bliss and guidance toward liberation. "Slowly, slowly that food started affecting his mental state." "Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalaṁ Śāśvika Ānanda Maṅgalam." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga demonstrates a superior effect on brain and mental health compared to other exercises. A scientific study of over 20,000 adults aged 55 and older found mind-body exercise improves cognitive function more than aerobic or resistance training. Yoga enhances the birth of new brain cells, supports factors that prevent Alzheimer's, and improves memory, attention, and processing speed. The combination of breath and movement regulates the sympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and enhancing emotional control. While practices like Tai Chi also show benefit, correct technique is vital to avoid injury. Yoga's integrated approach purifies the body and mind, offering tools for depression and panic, with meditation linked to increased gray matter and sustained cognitive function. Current research only begins to explore yoga's full depth. "Yoga has a superior effect on our brain, on our cognitive capacity." "Yoga breathing slows down the sympathetic nervous system."

Food, the digestive fire, and spiritual practice are deeply connected. Learning to cook from a young age is vital, not just for health but for the energy imparted to the food. A strong Agni, or digestive fire, allows one to dissolve all that is consumed, including food and information. This inner fire is cultivated through gradual, systematic practice like Haṭha Yoga Kriyās and prāṇāyāma, particularly Bhastrika when prepared. Vegetarian food is essential; consuming meat introduces the animal's fear and chemistry into one's own system, affecting the mind and experiences. The system of Yoga in Daily Life prevents such negative experiences by advocating sāttvic food and step-by-step practice. Go deeper into each practice, exploring its effects on the five bodies; this prevents boredom and eliminates the need for constant change. Karma operates impartially: actions return to the doer. The body's design, with jaw movement and intestinal length, indicates a natural inclination toward vegetarianism. The consciousness and feelings of the cook are absorbed into the food, affecting those who eat it. Therefore, cooking for oneself is preferable. "Remain where you are." "What you do will come back to you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Begin the morning with the resolution: "I am a human." This awareness is essential, as many live below human quality. A disciple in a forest wished to see people at a festival. His guru gave him a peacock feather, instructing him to look through it. Through the feather, he saw mostly animals and demons; only a few gathered in positive talk appeared human. This reveals that true human quality is rare and must be cultivated. Being human is difficult, requiring the purification of one's nature through daily practice and non-violence. This evolutionary step is the aim of spiritual life. Stay steadfast on one path with endurance. Confidence in the master helps sever karmic chains. Do not dig many shallow holes; dig one deep well to reach water. Build your spiritual life with solid foundations, not just an empty shape. Great effort and struggle are required to achieve anything of value, including spreading spiritual teachings. True devotion makes everything possible. "Through the conscience, you will see reality." "If you dig in one place, even if you find a big rock, you will come to the water." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The disciple must never abandon the need for the guru or the teachings, for that is the gravest error. The guru is the principle that leads from ignorance to knowledge. This Guru Tattva is the essential diamond, not the physical form, yet it is embodied to provide tangible guidance. God aids the seeker by sending the guru, who is thus revered as indispensable. The aim is to merge the individual self with the cosmic Self, like a river entering the ocean. This is the Advaita understanding, where the one supreme reality is reflected in all individuals. This merging is the true purpose of yoga, achieved through the guru's grace and teachings. The embodied form concentrates this divine energy, making darśana transformative. The state beyond the three guṇas is inexpressible; it can only be pointed to as 'not this, not that.' "The moment you think you know everything, very soon you will find yourself asking, 'Where are the bricks? Where is the parachute?'" "God will send your friend with the boat. And the Guru is here."

The path moves from belief to inner strength through direct experience. Joy is essential for learning and practice. Yoga is a science, not a religion; it requires trust and practice, not dogma or blind belief. Personal experience creates a stable foundation, unlike belief which can be shaken. The wise learn from the teachings and experiences of others. Inner strength is cultivated through disciplined physical practice, which stabilizes the body and mind. This strength allows one to remain undisturbed, like an elephant ignoring a barking dog. The gradual, daily practice of yoga provides a secure foundation, avoiding the pitfalls of temporary inspiration or energy transmission without sustained effort. Purifying the ego and dissolving arrogance are prerequisites for spiritual progress. "A wise one learns from others' mistakes, and the not-so-wise learns from his own mistakes." "In spirituality, you do not believe. You have trust in your Gurudev, trust in the scriptures. You practice, and you have experience." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path to enlightenment begins with saṁskāras before birth, unfolds through finding a Guru, and culminates in unwavering devotion and inner peace. Saṁskāras start in the womb through the mother’s exposure to scriptures, mantras, and sacred stories. This shapes the child’s consciousness early. Sukhad, son of Vedavyāsa, knew all scriptures from birth yet was denied entry to Vaikuṇṭha because he lacked a Guru. True knowledge without Guru Bhakti remains incomplete. He sought King Janaka as Guru and endured tests of patience, like standing in trash for days. Guru tests reveal a disciple’s commitment. Janaka himself became enlightened through Aṣṭāvakra, who taught that Brahman alone is real and the world is illusory. Janaka’s devotion was unwavering; when his palace burned during satsaṅg, he stayed still, listening to the Guru’s words. Other disciples ran after a monkey stealing clothes, showing attachment. Unshakeable presence with the Guru is essential. One must leave outer baggage and mental stress outside when entering satsaṅg. Lasting peace comes through bhajans, kīrtans, and Guru Bhakti, not dulling the mind with substances. Through Guru’s grace and selfless service, one merges with the Supreme Self and attains enlightenment. “Brahma satya, jagat mithyā. Only your Ātmā and Brahman, the One, is the ultimate truth.” “His whole kingdom and palace are on fire, but he is sitting straight, not doing anything, just listening to the Guru Vākya.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The power of language and respect shapes spiritual life. Words carry energy, influencing our inner state and relationships. A story illustrates this: a man feared the yoga pose called Śavāsana, the corpse pose. After this, the name was changed to Ānandāsana, the bliss pose, to remove fear. How we speak is crucial. We do not "take" a mantra; we may "get" it as a sacred gift, which changes our entire attitude. Modern communication often loses depth and respect, using abbreviated or vulgar language absorbed from media. This influences us subconsciously and must be guarded against. Addressing others with respectful titles, like "Devī" for a woman, cultivates different inner feelings. The manner of giving, even food, carries energy; offering with the right hand and respect changes the offering's quality. Respect extends to spiritual objects; keeping a mālā in a clean, valued place allows it to retain its energy. Physical posture also matters; sitting like a king or giving like a beggar changes the inner experience. Pronunciation in mantra is vital, as a single sound can change a word's entire meaning. "Your entire spiritual path becomes different. Yes, just try to think about this: it is a completely different approach." "If we are not aware, this will come subconsciously inside. We need to put a firewall in front of us, not to allow such thoughts and such language to become common to us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The story of two pilgrims reveals the power of the guru's grace over ritual observance. They undertook a difficult journey to bathe in the Ganga, following a strict rule to only lodge with those who had bathed there. After two months of travel and hardship, they finally stayed at an ashram, assuming the resident sage must have bathed in the river. They were devastated to learn he had never even seen the Ganga, feeling their entire effort was wasted. That night, they witnessed three black cows enter, transform into women who cleaned the ashram, and then touch the dust from the sage's feet. Upon touching that dust, they transformed into radiant goddesses. The goddesses identified themselves as the Ganga, Yamuna, and Sarasvati, explaining that they bear the sins of all who bathe in them, which blackens their forms. They are purified not by the river, but by the dust from their guru's feet. "All of their sins come into me, into all three of us, and then our forms become black from holding everyone’s sins." "When we touch the dust that touched his foot... it touches us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The spiritual path is built upon a strong foundation of integrated practice. Three daughters embody distinct yogic approaches within one household. Gyānībāī uses wisdom to transform her family, measuring spiritual age from initiation. Sevābāī's selfless service, despite rejection, ultimately leads to abundance and the redemption of her persecutors. Bhaktībāī's devotion, expressed through a single night of worship, protects the entire community from latent harm. These are not separate paths but facets of a complete life. True spirituality is not miraculous displays but grounded simplicity, kindness, and becoming a better human being. It is building a stable pyramid with all sides, not chasing one extraordinary experience. The foundation matters most. "Ten years back, I got Guru Dīkṣā, I met my master. And I got my mantra 10 years back, so I am 10 years old." "If you manage one, you will get everything. But if you want to manage everything, you will lose everything."

True contentment is found in renunciation and devotion, not in worldly possessions. A contented sādhu, happy warming his food on a funeral pyre, desires nothing, not even a boon from Śiva. This illustrates that spiritual fulfillment requires no external gifts. Greed, envy, and ego destroy spiritual progress, causing one to abandon a guru for material gain, as shown when a householder expels a sādhu for a yoginī promising gold. Attachment to the impermanent leads to suffering. The guru's grace is the only essential possession. Mantra practice purifies the mind, brushing away negative thoughts like seeds caught in hair, serving as an antivirus against fear and doubt. It brings peace by activating and cleansing consciousness. "When you have his blessings, then you are successful in any way, and you will get everything you want." "Things will come, things will go... What is coming, accept it with open arms. What is going, also let it go." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Human life is the highest birth, gifted with intellect and discrimination. Do not waste this precious opportunity. Among all associations, satsang is supreme.

We are connected to a great spiritual lineage. The system of Yoga in Daily Life is for everyone, spreading this wisdom across the world. To be in the Guru's presence is the greatest blessing. "God is sitting in front of us. When we have Gurudev's blessings with us, when we have Him with us, then there is nothing to worry about in life."

The primordial sound Oṁ connects all humanity through its varied pronunciations across traditions. Scriptures state the universe began with this sound. As it traveled, the vibration transformed into "Amen" and "Āmīn" in other faiths, revealing a universal connection. This symbol is a gift for all mankind. A restless mind is like a monkey snatching a banana. The struggle continues as long as one holds on. The teaching is to let go. Place the banana down; the monkey takes it peacefully and calms down. Similarly, stop wrestling with thoughts. Surrender them. Practices like meditation and devotion slow the mind. A peaceful mind resides in the present, reducing stress and increasing bliss. True peace comes from surrendering all expectations to the Master. "The easiest option is to let go, put it down, and allow the mind to become peaceful." "Gurudev, you do what you are doing."

Celebrating the International Day of Yoga highlights its global recognition and benefits. The day was established to make humanity aware of yoga's advantages for individual and collective well-being. The celebration includes demonstrations of physical postures for health, particularly for the spinal column. Practices like Vajrāsana and twisting exercises are shown to alleviate back pain and increase flexibility. Strengthening āsanas and principles like bandha are demonstrated to cleanse energy and influence inner organs. Postures such as the lotus and tiger pose are presented for their therapeutic effects. The event concludes with a symbolic story emphasizing guidance in daily life. "First, there are the benefits for physical health: for good body posture and a healthy backbone." "In yoga, we call this the principle of bandha. It means we press, we squeeze certain parts of our body, and we release the bad energy from there." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The opening of the Rāma Temple in Ayodhyā marks a pivotal moment of spiritual and societal restoration. Many temples to Rāma exist, so its unique significance may not be immediately apparent. The common historical pattern involves conquerors destroying sacred sites to build their own. This resolution in India, however, was not achieved through violence. The site is revered as the birthplace of Rāma, an incarnation embodying perfect adherence to dharma. Through legal processes, a consensus was reached to build the temple at the birthplace, relocating the former mosque's stones for a new construction elsewhere. This event holds profound meaning, akin to the reconsecration of a foundational spiritual center. The palpable happiness of the people permeated the very atmosphere of the region. The temple's establishment represents a step toward mental and cultural freedom, achieved through a commitment to non-violence and lawful resolution after centuries. "Rāma, on the other hand, is the incarnation of obedience to the law. His title is Maryadā Puruṣottam." "This temple is a unifying point for India... Ayodhyā is a step for India—a step towards mental freedom, educational freedom." Filming locations: Ayodhyā, Uttar Pradesh, India

Welcome back, and remember the three books containing all wisdom. We are very happy for your return after three months. While waiting, I recalled Swāmījī's teaching from years ago. He said he had given us everything through three books: a yoga book, a chakra book, and the Līlā Amṛt. He explained that all answers are there. For a physical problem, consult the yoga book. For spiritual development, see the chakra book. For bhakti, turn to Līlā Amṛt, our bible. This thought came at the airport. So we have everything with Swāmījī here and in these books. We are happy to see you and wish you a good time here, with less stress. We look forward to satsaṅg and lectures. "You only have to look in those three books. Everything is explained there." "When you have any problem with your bhakti, look into our bible: the Līlā Amṛt, the Living Light." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The cycle of consumption creates inevitable consequences. People engage in certain actions, like eating meat, and these actions propagate through a cycle. They manifest elsewhere, moving from place to place, until they culminate in a significant problem. While one may feel powerless to stop this overall cycle, those with understanding can take action from their own position. The effective action is personal discretion in consumption. This means choosing a very good diet, specifically one that avoids harming animals. The prescribed method is to eat only fruits and similar pure foods. This individual discipline is the available recourse against the pervasive cycle. "You can do anything, but it will be like this." "Only eat more now, very much, only fruits, very good."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Slovenska Vas, Slovenia.

A disciple reflects on the culmination of a long spiritual journey. Meeting the teacher in 1986 began a shared struggle, with the disciple's devotion fluctuating like waves. Now at eighty-five, life is in its overtime, marked by physical limitation. The waves have settled, leaving a single wish: to think only of God and to depart life in His arms, fulfilling life's ultimate dharma. Meditation was always difficult, but hard work was embraced as active practice. With activity now diminished, the focus turns inward, going deeper inside. The aim from the beginning was to meet and be with God. "When we work hard, it is also a kind of meditation, a kind of active meditation." "The aim of our life, which we actually came here for, is to meet God and to be with God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A recollection of the consecration and opening ceremonies of Om Ashram. Photographs evoke the events. A grand procession with kalash pots moved from the village lake through Jadan to the ashram gates, accompanied by flower petals. The main stage hosted programs in a large tent. Important personalities, including a Maharaja and spiritual leaders, attended. Preparations involved installing golden kalash spires on temple tops, a task performed from a suspended basket. A special fire ceremony with mantras was held. The central event was the Prāṇa Pratiṣṭhā ritual, consecrating the temple with the simultaneous placement of all kalashas. The first Śiva Āratī in the new temple followed, filling the space with devotees. "Vishwagurujī decided that now is the right time for the Kalaśa to be installed." "The atmosphere was great. I mean, like everybody singing in unison, Shiva Āratī." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Upon waking, realize “I am a human being.” Step onto the earth and see oneself seated. Take a few drops of water in the hand. That water is Jagadīś, Mahārāj Jal Rāī. A single drop accomplishes all—coolness or goodness arises. Merge the water into the sea, and it rises into the universe, returning as water. Bow to mother and father, even if they have passed. Avoid meat and eggs; consuming them denies true humanity. Resolve never to eat flesh nor let children eat it. Serve animals instead. In India some still follow this, though influence from abroad spreads other ways. The one awake is a yogī; there is no sleep in satsaṅg. “As soon as you open your eyes, see yourself—what will happen? … I am a human being.” “Just one drop accomplishes everything; you feel a coolness or feel very good.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Evening satsang from Střílky Ashram, Czech Republic. Bhajans sung to the Master: Sobhāvo Satsaṅga Re, Yogi Jāno Kī Yoga Nidrā, Dhyān Karo, Hamẽ Hī Kam Satsaṅg Hī, Sataguru Sandeśo Moyē.

The Oṁ Ashram is a living temple, shaped as the sacred syllable Oṁ. Two types of temples exist: stone and human body. The divine presence dwells in both. The Oṁ Ashram remains the only temple in the world formed as Oṁ. Oṁ is the symbol of yoga, life, and the yogi’s heart. Its construction followed ancient Vedic tradition. The foundation stone includes stones from local lands. A nine-day yajña purified the outer space and inner being. Simple people donated funds and built it with their hands. Activation came when gold-plated kalaśas were placed on its domes. A brief window of five minutes aligned cosmic forces. Cosmic energy now flows through the kalaśa directly to the Śiva Liṅgam. This energy radiates outward, transforming wrong into good. The Śiva Liṅgam bears twelve forms of Śiva and is surrounded by one thousand eight Śiva statues. The guru’s presence functions like light in a dark cave. Darkness within melts instantly before that light. Thus, the stone temple and the inner temple merge in practice. "There are two types of temples—the stone one, and the human one. There is the presence of God in both of them." "What is the value of the guru? You can see the dark cave. Then comes the light. And when the light comes—it doesn’t depend on how dark the dark in the cave was—it will disappear." Filming location: Spisska Nova Ves, Slovakia

The Guru brings light. Gu is darkness, Ru is light; the Guru is the light-giver. The light came but darkness did not accept it. To bow at the Guru’s feet is to accept that light in the heart. The Guru builds exterior stone temples and also the interior human temple. A temple’s dome has seven layers, mirroring the seven cakras. The kalaśa atop the dome receives Śiva’s universal energy. That energy awakens the earth element and flows to Mūlādhāra Cakra. Kuṇḍalinī Śakti awakens and rises through the cakras. Consciousness placed in Maṇipūra Cakra marks the halfway point. Kuṇḍalinī is that light, consciousness itself. Spiritual meaning and beauty require the rising of this inner light. This light emanates from Maṇipūra. Guru Tattva provides the strength to develop that light. Without Guru Tattva, ignorance and darkness persist. Receiving the Guru into the heart kindles the inner light brighter. Then one becomes truly human and fulfills life’s dharma—this is the Guru’s prasāda. “Gu is darkness, Ru is light, and the Guru is the one who brings the light.” “When our consciousness is in the Maṇipūra Cakra, we are all halfway—the goal is halfway reached.” Filming location: Presov, Slovakia

The essence of Yoga is revealed through the Sadguru’s grace. The Sadguru’s wisdom transcends the Vedas and their boundaries. Through direct knowledge, doubt is resolved. The mind is subdued by the inner practice of meditation. When the mind is conquered, one becomes like Ram. All is Ram. The inner light of awareness dispels all darkness. The veil to the supreme is opened by the guru’s grace. The body is the true meeting place of the beloved. Wandering outside is futile. The word of the Sadguru is nectar. Chanting Ram’s name heals the body. A false guru spreads illness. The five elements are balanced through inner focus. Service to the divine is service to the self. The guru’s feet are the refuge. Surrender to the Sadguru brings liberation. "Sadguru bedh khalak bhaya rogī, Rām bhaje jārī kāya hai nirogī." "Jo Mann Ko Maarle, Voh Ram Di Jaisa Banjata Hai. Sab Voh Ram Di Hai."

The fruit of seeing the Divine is the ultimate purpose of the eyes. The greatest gain of life is breathing on this sacred land at Om Ashram. The Gopīs taught that merely having eyes is not enough. The fruit of the eyes is to behold the Lord. This fruit is attained by seeing the Gurudev with one's eyes. Sitting at Om Ashram, devotees behold the Gurudev. They also hear the auspicious words with their ears. With their voice, they sing the glories of the Lord's name. Thus, the eyes, ears, and voice become blessed. Even if born in foreign lands, the eyes find purpose by seeing the Gurudev. Witnessing the fruits of creation at Om Ashram over decades fulfills this purpose. The presence here is a great fortune. The energy at Om Ashram is different from the material world. Time feels like coming home. The glory of the paramparā is manifest through the disciple's devotion. The light from the Guru must be preserved and spread. This strengthening light will ease Kali Yuga. "Dear friends, we know of no greater fruit for those who have eyes than this: the face of the son of the king of Vraja, adorned with the flute, is the supreme vision." "You are beholding the Lord; with your ears, sitting on this sacred stream, you are hearing his auspicious words." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
