Devotees share stories of their first encounters with the spiritual path and teacher. These meetings often occurred during times of personal searching or societal change. Initial curiosity about yoga's physical aspects frequently opened a door to deeper spiritual understanding. The moment of receiving a personal mantra is consistently described as a powerful, life-altering event of connection. This guidance provided a framework for living, leading to dietary changes, ethical clarity, and a sense of purpose. The teacher's presence is credited with offering protection, solving family issues, and enabling personal miracles. The relationship is seen as eternal, providing unwavering support through all of life's phases. "At one point, something happened. They call it resonance. Gurudev produced a sound, and since I was attuned to the same type of sound, there was a connection." "When I entered the room where Swāmījī had a lecture on mantra, I saw a big light. And since that time, I actually opened my Anahata, and I got connected with the Guru Tattva." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The call to samādhi is a profound spiritual instruction. Sit down completely. This sitting is the foundation. It is the first and final instruction for entering deep meditation. The mind must settle into absolute stillness. From this stillness, divine connection arises. Invocations and chants align the practitioner with higher consciousness. They sanctify the space and the seeker. The ultimate goal is union with the divine principle. "Sit down, sit down, sit down,... sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,... sit down,..."

Morning program from Om Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Swami Madhuram Puri singing bhajans (Prakash Punja ...), and preparing the Kalash.

A joyous gathering is convened in the divine court. Saints and trust members are present. This sacred atmosphere is a rare opportunity granted by the Gurudev's grace and simple nature. A world-famous establishment will occur on the 19th at the Om Ashram in Jadan, an event of historical blessing that must not be missed. All are invited to witness this unique occasion. The program continues with devotional music and dance offerings from the assembled devotees. The gathering is immersed in the cool breeze of devotion within this ashram. "Such an atmosphere... is not found again and again in life." "Such a program has never happened before nor will it happen again." Filming locations: Jadan, Rajasthan, India.

The grace of the Sadguru blossoms where humility roots. Lord Gajananji is praised, the Guru is honored, and bhajans flow. This is the crown of our Sanatana tradition. On this land of India, saints and heroes were born. Their legacy gifts open speech, spirituality, and tradition. Today’s gathering is saturated with the Guru’s grace. Without that grace, nothing manifests. This program becomes a historical moment. The Guru’s word from the Siva Mahapurana commands: harbor no ego. Ego seals a person’s fate, as Ravana’s story shows. Ego blocks the path to God and the Guru. Seek the shelter of the Sadguru to shed ego. Satsang and bhajan cultivate this egoless state. Bhajans announced the Guru’s arrival to many. The Guru’s presence deepens devotion’s current. Two girls from Badmeer, blessed by the Guru, offer bhajans with vina. Their compositions will soon rise to international renown. “Without Gurū Mahārāj’s grace, nothing is possible.” “We should not have a single sense of ego.” Filming location: Rajasthan, India

The tradition originates from a distinct spiritual source. This place has stood for decades, providing a golden opportunity for witness and spiritual benefit. Yoga and divine grace are bestowed upon every disciple present. A true ascetic is a detached wanderer with no fixed home or worldly prestige, akin to a divine manifestation. One must neither misunderstand the primary spiritual truth nor take the secondary lightly. Parents give physical birth, but one must seek ultimate refuge and surrender in the spiritual source. The architect of life's character is the spiritual guide. The impact of this message is widely recognized. "Yoga, God, is bestowed upon each and every disciple who has come here." "A sanyāsī is a sanyāsī, after all; he has no home, no fixed place." Filming locations: Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India.

Two consecration ceremonies are to be performed. The first is the Kalasha puja for the large vessel to be placed atop the shikhara. The second is the Prasada Puja or Vastu Purusha Puja, performed at the summit to please the deity of the site. Pandits will perform the puja for the other kalashas. The ceremonies are scheduled between 11:15 and 12:40. A team will ascend to prepare, followed by the main participants for the second ritual. The assembly is advised to seek shade during the approximately half-hour interim. "The next puja is called Prasada Purusha Puja or Vastu Purusha Puja." "It means to please the Vastu deity, Vastu Purusha, that he will bless the ashram, the temple." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

Bhajan band concert from Om Ashram, Rajasthan, India. First part of the program.

The recitation of the Sundara Kāṇḍa, the beautiful fifth book of the Rāmāyaṇa, is performed to welcome Rāma to his temple. This section narrates Hanumān's journey to Lanka, his devotion, and his meeting with Sītā. It details his encounters with demons, his wise counsel to Vibhīṣaṇa, and the gathering of the monkey army. The core teaching is that remembrance and devotion to Rāma are the glorious path. Without divine grace, one cannot attain true fellowship, and without fellowship, one cannot attain spiritual discernment. All strength and success flow from devotion to the Lord. "Rāma kājūkārī phira me āvāṁ, Sītā kaisē udhī prabhu hī sunāvauṁ." (I have come to do Rama's work; how Sita is, only the Lord can tell.)

This is our ashram, a place of being and bliss. We are all here together, sitting with sādhus and yogīs, and it is very good. The essence must be in our body. An ashram is our home. Understanding comes from above, from God to mother to human. It arrives directly, like from Akkar to Nābhi. Even a mother may not know how it comes, but it is our prophet. God is the only one and will become human. If humans belong to India, then all children are equal. That one will enter God, will enter the body. We must care for the human mind. We are here, and we will do the work. In construction, one must think about how people feel inside. A building is not just a roof; it should be pleasant. The best materials are natural, like wood and straw, which support humans. Materials modified by humans, like bricks and lime, are good. Stones like sandstone are neutral, but granite harms the body. Modern materials like steel and concrete are dead and not healthy. We follow Vāstu Śāstra, the science of building, so the earth supports everyone living there. We use lime, not just cement, for healthier buildings. Wood is the best material and can be used for multi-story buildings and large halls. "This is our ashram; this is our ashram. And when you see it, oh, it is very nice." "The best materials are natural, like wood and straw, which support humans." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Australian outback presents a vast, unpopulated landscape distinct from settled farmlands. It is not a sandy desert but open scrubland with immense distances and little sign of civilization. Travel there is unstructured, allowing one to stop freely and experience peaceful campfires. The historical and cultural situation of the Aboriginal people is complex, marked by cultural destruction and a loss of self-esteem following European settlement. There are noted linguistic similarities with Indian languages, suggesting an ancient connection. Government policies of forcibly removing Aboriginal children created a lasting social gap, leaving many caught between two worlds. "You can see a long way and you don't see anything."

This weekend provided a spiritual vaccination against the subtle influences of Kali Yuga. The age's decay enters through small compromises, like a mouse, creating spiritual inflation. We must learn to firmly say no to ourselves, for the gentle approach of this era ends with us caught unaware. A yogi, like aged ghee, improves with time; one is never too old for sādhana. This injection strengthens our immunity, but ongoing practice is essential. We must carry this light home and arrive at the coming opening in a state of spiritual readiness, not merely physical. Our perspective on food, practice, and community must grasp the deeper principle of non-harm. "To know how to say 'No' to ourselves." "We are never too old for our sādhana."

The mind is the root of all bondage and liberation. The mind is the only cause of both suffering and freedom. When the mind is attached to the world, it is bound. When the mind is turned towards the Divine, it is liberated. The world is an illusion projected by the mind's modifications. To know the Self, one must still the mind's constant chatter. This stillness is not inactivity but a state of pure awareness. In that awareness, the true nature of the Self is revealed. "The mind is the only cause of bondage and the mind is the only cause of liberation." "Where the mind goes, that is where you go; if the mind goes to God, you go to God."

Maintaining purity in life and diet is essential for spiritual progress. You are pure people, but some are not. It is like walking in a nice place and suddenly stepping on a needle; something impure enters. When you gather here, you come from your homes. Eating pure food at home is very good. Giving this to your children is important; do not let them eat meat. Some people think they do nothing wrong, but then they go with their children and parents, and their purity goes down. You must look very, very pure. If you go with friends and they offer something, do not take it at all. This is Kali Yuga, a time of blackness. People wear black dress, always black. But black is okay; it is not that you must be completely black or white. Be as you are, but think carefully. Do not be completely black. In India, many people are also down, eating meat. Not all, but some. Your goal should be pure. When your dress is black, you go and work. But do not be like that always. When visiting friends, you must say you cannot touch that food. There was a pure disciple in Vienna who has died. You have everything very nice. Be good. "Your goal should be pure, it should be the pure goal." "When the heart is pure, then everything is pure."

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.

The great fortune is to be in satsaṅg, not entangled in the distractions of the age. This gathering provides rich spiritual food, not the mental fast food many consume. To digest this requires strong inner fire and practice. Simply being in this atmosphere purifies energy and grants strength. The most vital part is the personal connection—greeting the teacher and receiving prasāda. This act releases karma and provides sustenance felt long after. Prasāda is the holy essence capable of transforming a life, as is true darśana. "Prasāda is the essence." "That Prasāda is completely able to change our life if we know what Prasāda is."

The true Self is pure consciousness and bliss, beyond all attributes and dualities. It is not the body, the senses, the mind, or the elements. It is without hatred or attachment, virtue or vice, pleasure or pain. It is not the doer, the enjoyer, or any object of experience. This Self is Shiva, the eternal, all-pervading reality. Devotion to the sacred form, the Linga, is praised as a means to destroy all sorrows and sins, leading one to Shiva's abode. These hymns point to the formless truth while honoring the forms that guide the mind toward it. "I am not the mind, intellect, ego, or consciousness; nor the ears, tongue, nose, or eyes. I am not space, earth, fire, or air. I am the form of consciousness and bliss. I am Shiva." "To the Linga worshipped by Brahma and the gods, the destroyer of the sufferings of birth, the always auspicious one, to that Linga of Sadashiva, I bow down."

The grace of the guru is experienced through devotion and miraculous presence. People constantly call for the speaker to visit them. A story is told of Mahāprabhujī as a child going with cows that ate from a farm; despite concerns, Gurujī said it would result in more for the owners, and it did. The speaker describes visiting places associated with Mahāprabhujī, who is meditating deeply. Another figure stays in the jungle, refusing to enter a house even for food. People question the speaker's absence over years, but the speaker cites health. The essence is that the guru and devotees are connected in the heart, enabling all things. Disciples act in harmony with the guru's will. "Gurujī said, 'Don't worry, let them eat.'" "He said, 'Okay, you can give it to me outside. I don't go inside, yeah.'"

A refreshing wind signals progress as we prepare for the temple's opening in four months, a short time when busy. The leader's presence accelerates the work, though daily changes are subtle until seen from afar. This completion is a divine achievement of a great vision, yet it is not an end but a step in perpetual creation. Our role is to participate and support, for every small action has effect. This place transforms the land and society, carrying a universal vibration. We must invite skilled helpers to share in this work for future generations, a gift for all humanity to draw nearer to the divine.

The human being contains a fundamental purity. We are diverse and cannot all become one, yet we are ourselves. Many people eat meat and are going down, but here we are pure. Open your eyes in the morning and see only "I am human." The earth is pure, and pure water comes from above. Within the vast ocean of existence, something very pure comes from within us, like a crystal. In sleep, we travel far from ourselves, yet return quickly. This inner experience is the purity we call a yogī. Our eyes are very powerful; we must be clear and controlled with them. Those who eat purely are very good. You do not need to know my name; it is inside. We have done work to maintain purity so others may not spoil it. "Open your eyes in the morning, so when we are just open. And so, when we open our eyes, then we see only, 'I am human.'" "And so, whatever it is with us, it is your beautiful best, all that is the purity. So that is what we call a yogī."

The divine presence is all-pervading and the source of all auspiciousness and prosperity. This reality is invoked through sacred names and Vedic offerings. The path involves cultivating joy, discernment, and focused meditation. The teacher is a divine guide on this journey. True illumination comes from aligning with this supreme principle. The practice is a dedication to this pervasive consciousness. It concludes with blessings from the compassionate divine. "Ānand kare, viveka kare, kuch dhyāna dhārī, śirāhat dhārī, sādhya dhārī."

True refuge is found only in the divine name and the realized teacher. Seeking refuge in worldly attachments leads to suffering and delusion. The divine name is the ultimate sanctuary, the true crossing from darkness to light. All other shelters are temporary and false. The teacher, as the embodiment of grace, is the boatman who facilitates this crossing. To take refuge is to surrender completely, abandoning all other supports. This surrender alone brings liberation from the ocean of worldly existence. The name and the teacher are the singular, eternal refuge. "O Guru Sukhadhāmasvāmī, [you are] the cause of happiness for the entire world, the liberation from attachment." "Refuge is yours. Sri Kanata, refuge is yours.

The remembrance of Kṛṣṇa Nānjī’s life reveals core spiritual teachings. Kṛṣṇa Nānjī built a team of dedicated organizers. The spiritual guide was welcomed to Hungary in 1978. The first Yoga in Daily Life book was released in 1984. Thousands received the teachings. A vegetarian lifestyle was popularized in difficult times. Protecting animals upholds non-harm, Ahiṃsā. The guiding principle values one gram of practice over a ton of theory. All people were met with equal regard. From poverty to royalty, everyone was seen as a child of God. Service was given without questioning why or when. This unconditional action is a lesson for youth. The seminar continues in that spirit. This location welcomes seekers from many countries. A memorial is planned in lasting honor. Gatherings for yoga camps and bhajans persist. The legacy inspires continued selfless work.

Concentrate on the breath to recharge the body. This practice of ānanda-āsana, the happiest posture, removes tension. Travel within the body through coordinated movement and stretching. Follow instructions with unity, not as a competition. This is a system for concentration and harmony in daily life. The exercises recharge every part of the body and improve blood circulation. Feel the energy gained from each posture. Ultimately, relax completely and feel the effects. "The breath is giving energy to our body, recharging it entirely."

A devotional invocation reveals inconsistencies in its transcription and composition. The text is a plea for the deity's arrival and blessings, yet its meaning is obscured by unclear phrases and non-standard terms. The flow is disrupted by an abrupt shift into modern English. Repetition appears without clear poetic purpose. The closing line alters the deity's descriptor, creating an inconsistent address. The transliteration of the sacred name itself varies, undermining textual integrity. These elements suggest the recorded words may contain errors or fragmented thoughts from an oral tradition.

The core practices of Prāṇāyāma and Yoga Nidrā are essential for mastering attention and well-being. The legalization of drugs like cannabis is a concerning trend, as substances are often misused by those with psychological distress. True fulfillment comes from being a good human, which is governed by individual attention. This control is perfected through Prāṇāyāma and Yoga Nidrā. The body and brain mirror each other; every physical action affects the prefrontal cortex, which manages complex functions like decision-making. Therefore, gentle practice is vital, as sensations like pain are registered in the brain. Yoga Nidrā systematically scans the body to cultivate positive energy, requiring dedicated effort. "Better attention? Absolutely correct. Prāṇāyāma. And one more thing. Yoga Nidrā." "Therefore, yoga brothers and sisters, be gentle to your body and to your brain."

Yoga practice requires synchronization, observation, and depth. Begin by relaxing completely in Ānandāsana, feeling the body's heaviness and observing the complete yoga breath. Synchronized movement creates a harmonized energy, unlike individual rhythms which disperse it. This principle applies to physical postures and collective chanting, balancing the ego. Practice with control, not quick movements, to strengthen core muscles and influence the thyroid gland and energy centers. Observe the body's sensations and circulation after each posture. The worst outcome is believing one already knows everything; consistent practice reveals new dimensions within the same postures. "Once, the first secretary of the Indian embassy in Zagreb was at a seminar. He was so surprised that we were practicing all together, not each in our own rhythm. What he said was, 'Oh, it’s a completely different energy. It is so harmonized.'" "Try to chant together, not too loud, and be aware of our collective sound. This is also excellent against our ego."

Spiritual progress requires consistent daily practice, not occasional effort. The journey demands integrating discipline into ordinary life, balancing responsibilities while maintaining steady effort. Merely visiting an ashram once a year is insufficient; one must practice at home, morning and evening. Proficiency develops over years, like a child learning gradually. Just as a pilot must operate an aircraft regularly to maintain skill, so must one engage in spiritual practice diligently. This is our life, and everything in it matters. The work continues wherever you go. "Because, well, if not today, then perhaps tomorrow—like this." "If you cannot practice daily and only come once a year, then you are not on the journey."

Begin with awareness in Ānanda Āsana, observing the body, breath, and mind before and after practice. Coordinate movement with breath, feeling the abdomen rise and fall. Practice āsanas like Pavanamuktāsana and Śaśāṅka Āsana to activate complete yoga breathing and feel the stretching and relaxing of the spinal column. The best time for āsanas is when the stomach is empty. Distinguish yoga from workout or stretching; yoga activates energy flow, leaving one energized. Precise alignment is crucial, such as keeping the spine straight in Aśva Sañcalana Āsana and ensuring the pelvis is positioned correctly in butterfly pose to avoid strain and prepare for meditation. Practice with gentle awareness, not force. "Always with inhalation, your abdomen and navel go up, and with exhalation, down." "With yoga, we are activating, we are making that energy flow. We will feel more energy after yoga class."

A gentle yoga practice integrates postures, breath, and focused awareness to calm the mind and strengthen the body. Begin by relaxing in a comfortable position, observing the natural breath. Practice postures like Pavanamuktāsana and Vyāghrāsana with smooth, controlled movements and coordinated breathing. Maintain awareness of alignment, such as keeping the pelvis level. Vīrāsana is highlighted for its benefits to the feet and mental state, despite potential discomfort from inflexibility. The practice emphasizes eliminating unnecessary movements to settle mental restlessness. Postures like Skandharāsana and Viparītakaraṇī Mudrā are detailed for their physical and energetic effects, including strengthening muscles and balancing prāṇa. Always breathe consciously and maintain control, concluding with relaxation and observation of the body and mind. "When we have many vṛttis... you are restless inside. That is why we practice āsanas: to ensure we do not have extra movements. By eliminating extra movements, we calm our mind." "Viparītakaraṇī Mudrā is excellent for your circulation... It influences your Bindu cakra. You will regenerate energy very quickly." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Life is a challenging struggle, but we receive clarity and energy from the spiritual path, allowing us to rise again. Our journey provides a continual infusion of clarity for development and energy for daily life. This blessing comes from a true source of knowledge. One practical source is Prāṇāyāma, though we often underutilize it. For instance, sleep issues can stem from imbalanced breathing patterns linked to sleep position, a knowledge from Svara Yoga. Similarly, panic attacks arise from low energy and psychological loss tied to identity. The panic sensation itself is an imitation of suffocation triggered by stress-induced clavicular breathing. The antidote is the full Yoga breath, which signals safety to the brain. Beyond this, deep Prāṇāyāma involves releasing the pelvic floor, a storehouse of tension. This practice retrains the brain towards relaxation. While many modern yoga forms lack depth, our path offers techniques and the blessing of wisdom. This wisdom is cultivated through tools like self-inquiry meditation, which cleans perception and establishes healthy inner boundaries by observing personal patterns. "Panic attacks are based on an imitation of suffocation." "With Prāṇāyāma, both clarity and energy are in our hands." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Standing āsanas demand precise alignment and conscious breath. Stand with pelvic awareness, avoiding arched lower back. Do not lock knees; imagine pubic bone drawing toward navel. Inhale, rise onto toes, stretch up; exhale down. Interlock fingers and stretch sideways without dropping the pelvis. Distribute weight on heel, outer foot, and beneath big toe. Align ear, shoulder, and hip joint as if resting on a wall. Lift leg with breath for concentration and leg strength. Practice side lunges, keeping knee aligned between big toe and second toe. Add heel lifts to engage calf muscles while maintaining upper body stillness. In squat posture, turn foot out, track knee over foot, inhale to lengthen, exhale to fold. Keep heel grounded if possible. In the squat, abdominal breathing releases the lower back. Transition into forward fold, releasing the neck, avoiding locked knees. Surrender in relaxation pose, feeling heaviness as complete release. Tension exits pelvic floor and nervous system, calming the mind. Use the body as a tool for present-moment awareness. “Nar se Nārāyaṇ,” from human to God. “Be aware, be here and now. To keep awareness, your body is the great tool.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga practice integrates āsanas and prāṇāyāma to cultivate body alignment, focused attention, and inner awareness. Begin with deep inhalation and exhalation while stretching the body. Press the low back and neck to the floor during the stretch. Bring the nose to the knee with straight legs, keeping shoulder blades down. Hold the legs on the chest and gently rock side to side. Sit in Daṇḍāsana with a straight back, palms beside the hips, and rotate the head with the breath. Shoulders move slightly back, hands bear no weight. Interlock fingers and stretch elbows backward to strengthen the muscles. Place fingers on shoulders, inhale up and back, exhale elbows back. Squeeze and spread the toes for relaxation. In Śaśāṅkāsana, completely relax and feel the spinal stretch and breath massaging the organs. Uttāna Pṛṣṭhāsana coordinates breath with arm movements to open the chest and balance brain hemispheres. Concentrate fully on the thumb nail during standing side stretches to sharpen focus. In caturaṅga daṇḍāsana, keep legs straight without hyperextending knees, hinge from the hips, and breathe into the upper lungs; this helps bronchitis and asthma. For back-bending, place palms on the floor, push shoulders toward the feet, pull the pelvis up, and breathe with the abdomen to strengthen the core. Relax in Ānanda Āsana and observe the body from toes to crown. Prāṇāyāma practice uses Nāḍī Śodhana second level with alternate nostril breathing, prāṇāyāma mudrā, twenty rounds each side, and OṂ chanting, while maintaining awareness as the observer. "When you stretch, try to press your lower back and neck to the floor." "Be aware of your breathing, of your thoughts, and of how you feel. Be the observer."

A standing yoga practice integrates breath, movement, and awareness. Begin by standing firmly, relaxing the abdomen. Practice stretches and variations of Pavan Muktāsana to build concentration. Focus awareness on different patterns of breath: abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular. Then synchronize these into one complete yogic breath, initiating from the abdomen upwards. This synchronization of movement and breath is excellent against stress and balances both sides of the body and brain. Practice strengthening motions with awareness, feeling the engagement of muscles. Conclude by relaxing and maintaining awareness of the complete breath. "Try to let the movement itself cause the inhalation, and let the movements also cause the exhalation." "When you synchronize movements and breathing into one, it is excellent against stress."

This spiritual home is our family, connected not by worldly karma but by surrender to the Guru. Worldly family ties are temporary bonds of past karma. Here, we form a lasting spiritual family under our Gurudeva. True connection requires complete faith and surrender from the heart, not half-hearted belief. Personal effort is essential: we must purify our inner vessel through sādhanā, mantra, and prayer to receive grace. Satsaṅg, whether in person or virtual, sustains this connection within the lineage. The Guru embodies the entire lineage; we cannot hide from this compassionate presence. Surrender your ego through devotion and let the Guru's light guide you. "Our own family—father and mother—are connected by our karma, so we eventually part." "If you have complete faith, just that faith, and the number one rule of that faith is surrendering."

Awaken now, for the spiritual dawn has arrived and the night of ignorance is over. Those who sleep will miss this attainment; only the awake will realize it. You must open your eyes and meditate. Procrastination is folly, as the future is unknown. Act today what is for tomorrow, and act now what is for today. This is the call to rise from slumber. Do not sleep while the beloved is awake. "Which love is this when your beloved is awake and you are sleeping?" "What you have to do for tomorrow, do it today. And what you have to do today, do it now."

This is a gentle yoga practice integrating physical postures with meditative awareness. We begin by relaxing the body and observing the breath. The practice includes specific āsanas like Pavanamuktāsana for the lower back and digestion, and bicycle leg movements for circulation and knee health. All movements are to be performed slowly and with awareness of the breath. The practice emphasizes that āsanas engage not just the physical body but the five layers of being, from the physical to the causal body. Awareness of breath and sensation is the key, transforming movement into meditation. Correct alignment is stressed to avoid injury, such as keeping the lower back pressed to the floor during exercises and maintaining shoulder blades down during twists. The goal is to cultivate presence, release tension, and enjoy the practice without force. "When we practice āsanas, we are practicing with all five bodies." "The excellence of awareness: be here and now. That is the meditation, but in the movements." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A guided relaxation and gentle movement practice for the entire body. Begin by systematically relaxing from the shoulders down through the spine, limbs, and face. Initiate gentle movements with the arms and head. With knees bent, perform a pelvic rock forward and backward on the mat, allowing the movement to travel through the entire back and neck to improve circulation. Cross the legs and introduce a side-to-side rocking motion, followed by a gentle spinal twist with the head moving opposite the legs. Practice circling the legs to massage the lower back. Incorporate breath with stretching, leg pulls, and hip rotations while lying down. Perform side-lying movements for the shoulders and spine. Conclude with coordinated arm and head circles, gentle neck stretches, and a final integrated movement lifting the head with hands behind the neck. End with a full body stretch and relaxation. "Relax your whole back and back muscles. In the middle is your spine; relax your spine." "Bring your legs as much as you can towards your chest, and now rock left and right with your pelvis and legs dynamically."

Foundational āsanas and breath awareness form the base of practice. Begin with Pavanamuktāsana to release the lower back, pressing the knee to the chest with the breath. Move into Daṇḍāsana, keeping the spinal column straight. Practice head movements initiated from the lower neck, coordinating with breath to avoid strain. Sarvahitā Āsanas teach correct movement patterns for all further practice. Engage muscles by imagining lifting a weight to build strength for postures like Viparīta Karanī Mudrā. Always be aware of breathing during āsana; conscious breathing activates the brain's cortex, calming the emotional limbic system. Complete yogic breathing combines abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular movement for full purification. Prāṇāyāma, like Nāḍī Śodhana, purifies the energy channels through all five layers of being. "Always be aware of your breathing. When you breathe with awareness—without changing the rhythm—we activate a center in the cortex of the brain." "Seventy percent of the body's purification comes through our breathing. That is why our breathing, especially complete yogic breathing, is so important." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Enter the sacred space of satsaṅg with full awareness, leaving the outer world behind. This environment is a protective bubble of pure energy. Upon entering, consciously set aside all mental burdens and problems, as one leaves dirty shoes at the door. The essential practice is to be fully present in the current moment. Ordinary life is often lived in unawareness, while a yogī cultivates constant awareness of the here and now. Do not dwell in past sorrows or future anxieties. Choose to dwell in uplifting society, or satsaṅg, which strengthens and elevates. Negative company, or kusaṅg, weakens through complaint and fear. The energy of true satsaṅg can transform one's inner state, creating a personal golden age regardless of the external era. Carry this cultivated purity forward. Live life like wearing a pristine white dress, striving to keep it clean through positive thoughts and actions. Real satsaṅg is found in physical congregation with the Guru and the community. Utilize this rare opportunity for purification. Remain a humble disciple, always willing to serve through karma yoga, and continually strive for positive inner change. "When we are in a seminar or in ashram satsaṅg, try not to be in another space and time, 'buying shoes' or something else." "Which society we have, that we will become."

A holy place and a living teacher offer essential grace. This place is holy because God is present. Everything needed is provided. Only two such places exist in the world. A living teacher sat here; a sacred tree will be replanted. Spirituality resides here; people from many countries come. A living teacher is necessary. Scriptures and words are not enough. Realization must be digested by one who has walked the path, just as the banyan seed must be digested by a bird to grow. A teacher's glance transmits deep understanding. A teacher's grace can stop rain. Through the teacher's blessing, a disciple survived a brain cyst. Yoga combined with grace led to Olympic and Deaflympics gold. Chronic diseases are managed through yoga. Without the teacher's invisible support, no success happens. Find your true form with the teacher's help. The teacher is one with Brahman. "You’ve forgotten yourself—what a calamity." "Between the water in a pot and the ocean, there is no difference. The Guru is one with Brahman." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Without love, God will not come. Techniques alone fail. Duryodhana invited Krishna without love, so Krishna went to Vidura. Vidura’s wife fed banana skins with devotion. Ego and jealousy are the greatest problems. Mantras liberate the mind when practiced. The Guru-given name guides the path. Seva balances blessings received. Karma touches individuals and nations. COVID revealed this globally. Yoga, an ancient discipline, is now a 110-billion-dollar industry. Organizations seek to control it. A universal benchmark for yoga is needed. Political work in the UK and EU pushes for legitimizing yoga and Ayurveda. The bhajan teaches God’s equal vision turns all pure, like the Ganga accepting sewage. Surrender means understanding “Nāhaṁ kartā”—not the doer. "Without love, God will not come." "The working hands have more value than the folded hands." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The essential importance of receiving a mantra and a spiritual name. Forgive my inability to sing; I come here to learn. I am humbled by your long histories with the Guru. In speaking with many, I find a surprising lack: some family members still believe they do not need a mantra. This understanding is essential. The mantra liberates the mind, which is why we seek peace here. Do not wait, for we do not know if we have tomorrow. The mantra signifies becoming the Guru's disciple. A spiritual name is also vital. It is given with knowledge of your future, and you must work towards embodying it. The name guides you to the ultimate Name. Both mantra and name are absolutely necessary. "I urge those people who have no mantra: it is essential. The mantra helps us to liberate our mind." "Gurudev will give you a name that means you have to work towards that name."

Conscious consumption is imperative for health and spiritual integrity. Many now consume insects and altered foods, a practice spreading globally. This causes physical harm, as foreign substances introduce problems into the body. We lack the proper enzymes to digest such matter, leading to potential blockages and disease. The food system contains hidden ingredients, with labeling often absent in restaurants. Market forces alone are insufficient, as some insect-based products are now cheap and popular. Collective endurance and personal action are required. Cook at home using known, raw ingredients to ensure purity. Unity and sustained refusal to buy harmful products can change industry practices. Historical movements succeeded through shared sacrifice and will. Your health and autonomy depend on what you choose to consume. "To digest such matter, we would need a special enzyme which we do not have." "The best food for our health is no-label food." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The churning of the ocean reveals the essence of practice. Ayurveda and yoga are inseparable sister sciences, originating from the divine knowledge revealed when the nectar of immortality was sought. The story explains the emergence of Dhanvantari and the foundation of the Kumbha Mela. True practice integrates this ancient wisdom into daily life through self-observation, discipline, and cultivating social health. The ultimate aim is Anuṣṭhāna—a meticulous inner journey into solitude and truth, free from distraction and comparison. One must maintain a clear aim amidst life's distractions, as the inner self knows everything. Practice transforms the individual, which in turn transforms the surrounding atmosphere. "Your body is a book which must be read daily." "Anuṣṭhāna means we see ourself. It is the subject of ourself, nobody else." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Unity and sacred knowledge converge in Om, the elements, and the Self. Disciples gather as a family in ashrams across many countries, working and praying. The sound Om marks the universe’s inception. Dialectal shifts transform Rāma into Rām, Rāmā, or Rāmaṇ. Christian prayers conclude with Amen, Islamic with Amīn, both unconscious echoes of Om. The five elements—Bhūmi (earth), Ākāśa (space), Vāyu (air), Agni (fire), Nīra (water)—constitute all beings. These elements are Bhagavān, the ultimate reality. Āyurveda condenses them into three doṣas: Vāta, Pitta, Kapha. Nāḍī Parīkṣā reads the radial pulse to identify the present doṣa and guide return to the natal state. The caduceus symbol of two serpents represents Iḍā and Piṅgalā, the Kuṇḍalinī. A mālā holds 108 beads, derived from twelve months multiplied by nine planets. The body’s 72,000 nāḍīs intersect at 108 marma points. Pressing the marma on the upper lip can relieve high blood pressure. This knowledge leads to Ātmā Gyān, realizing the Self as the elements, as Bhagavān. "In Christianity we have Amen, and the Muslims say Amīn. Same difference." "The ultimate force, the ultimate reality, the ultimate source in Āyurveda and yoga and all Indian traditional science is Bhagavān." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Find your two square meters for life and death. Relax completely, aware of your body and breath. Practice āsanas to release tension and correct posture. Understand that yoga adapts to time and space, requiring guidance. Correct kyphosis to free shoulder movement. Maintain head alignment to avoid muscle strain. Practice rotation in āsanas with stretching, not force. Stimulate organs through lateral stretches and breath control. Use breath retention to influence circulation and prāṇa. Conclude by observing the effects on body, breath, and mind. "Be aware of the hole in which you are now, and be aware of the position of your body in this hole." "If you have a big kidney stone, do not practice this āsana, because it makes activation of the kidneys, and in that case, the kidney stone starts to move." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
