Satguru is the protector; devotion surrenders the self and transforms fear into faith. The bhajan “Satguru Rakhovālājī Hamārī” pleads for shelter. Prahlāda, a boy-devotee, faces his demon-father’s command to embrace a glowing pillar. Seeing it covered in red ants, he embraces it, and Narasiṁha emerges to end the curse. An elephant, caught by a crocodile, fights for a hundred years until offering a lotus—instantly, Hari arrives. Draupadī is covered in cloth by Krishna as tormentors try to disrobe her. Mīrābāī’s poison becomes nectar through trust. Each story reveals: turning toward what is most challenging, the threat softens. Faith is not only in Guru or God but in the capacity to meet what comes. “Now it is my turn”—this claim opens meditation, posture, and the present moment. The bhajan comes from Swāmī Mādhavānandajī, offered to Mahāprabhujī, whose spontaneous songs were caught on paper. That wisdom flows through paramparā, now alive. Another truth surfaces in marriage. Two aged partners sat in silence because the wife never said she craved the hard crust, not the soft heart of the bread. He always gave the best of what he had. Revelation brought remarriage after fifty years. Unspoken longing builds walls; speaking the heart restores peace. Three simple practices: hand on chest, steady breath—heat clears; navel touch—energy balances; Brahmarī vibration—awakening. Just a few minutes daily transforms. “That type of devotee you are always saving, continuously saving. Now it’s my turn.” “I gave you the soft part because I wanted to give you the best. The heart of the bread I don’t like; I gave it to you.” Filming location: Sydney, Australia

A simple daily practice establishes conscious connection. Upon waking, declare "I am human." This single thought cultivates good and friendly awareness throughout the day. Before standing, acknowledge the earth as your mother and seek permission to place your feet upon her. This brings happiness and relaxation. Recognize your unity with all life, as all beings are one. A brief daily remembrance of this brings beautiful understanding. "Upon waking, open your eyes and tell yourself in a sleeping voice, 'I am human.'" "All day, you will be so happy and feel very good, relaxed and well."

Compassion for all life is the foundation of spiritual practice. Many suffer globally. Disciples abstain from meat, alcohol, and eggs, as consuming life or its potential causes harm. Eggs originate from a mother bird who nurtures them with great care. All beings, including humans, share the sacred process of birth. Modern interference in natural birth is regrettable. All beings face death. Consuming meat or alcohol creates negativity and deception, contrary to divine will. These substances may be used only as prescribed medicine. The natural union of husband and wife is sacred. Having many children is a blessing. In this age, one must honor the mother, the source of all. Life, from a tiny ant to an elephant, is the same sacred essence. Do not consume meat. See the divine in every being and view. "Mother, mātṛ devo bhavaḥ, mother and father." "Life, from a tiny ant or elephant, all are the same life in life." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

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

Recognizing our humanity is the path to purification. Animals exist in cycles of consumption, unaware. Humans possess a higher potential but often revert to killing. The capacity for violence is given, yet the instruction is clear: do not kill any creature. Taking life returns one to an animalistic state. The principle of non-violence extends to refusing what others have killed. This understanding is universal, not confined to one tradition. Historical conflicts distorted natural ways of living. Now, many treat creatures cruelly, acting without humanity. To live rightly, one must awaken to this truth. A daily practice affirms this awareness. Upon waking, declare "I am human." When standing, acknowledge the earth as your mother. Approach water, seeing a single drop as your fleeting portion. Recognize that all life is interconnected like sensation in a body. Observe the peaceful cow that eats only grass. Understand the five elements and time. Ultimately, turn to the divine. Without this inner sight, one acts blindly, trapped in cycles of cause and effect. The choice to live as a human is yours. "Do not kill anyone. Then you will come to the human state, and from there, progress further." "Life is life. We should come home and not kill. Do not kill, nor accept what someone else has killed."

Life is a sacred cycle of consumption and suffering, demanding non-violence from aware humans. Living beings consume each other due to ignorance, perpetuating a cycle of killing and being killed. This brings suffering and ensures rebirth into the same pattern. Humans possess knowledge, distinguishing us. We must not kill any creature—birds, fish, or animals—for they feel pain. God provides for all life, not just humans, like rain for every tree. Our actions return to us; causing harm ensures we will be harmed. To break the cycle, embrace peace. Give up meat and eggs, as these are lives. A realized being merges with the divine, like a drop in the ocean, and does not return. Live on seeds, leaves, and what is given without killing. "Jīva jīva bhakṣyate. The living being consumes the living being." "O human, do not kill any creatures—birds, many birds, many things, the fish in the water, everywhere."

The guru's grace is the sole path to spiritual completion. Attaining the true guru is rare and difficult, unlike the many common teachers. This process is illustrated by the Brahmari wasp, which meticulously prepares a nest; only the third type of larva becomes fully established and transforms. Similarly, spiritual attainment requires the disciple to be fully receptive and prepared for the guru's transformative grace. This bond, once formed with a true guru, is as irrevocable as the biological connection to one's mother. The disciple must remain steadfast in practice without greed or distraction, lest they lose their progress like the dog who dropped its chapati. Completion comes only through unwavering surrender to this grace. "Once you have that guru, a real guru, then you, we all will be there." "Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalaṁ Śiṣya Ke Ānanda Maṅgalam."

A silent meditation gathering with invocations. For some time, joint practice was not held. Now bhajans, mantras, and meditation resume, with something new tried for a week. The outer form is irrelevant. The inner self alone matters. A simple eye exercise leads to inner awareness. The Bhakti sings the yoga mantra softly, without intensity. This mantra comes from Gurujī and Mahāprabhujī. It is the real yoga. No instrument is required; the mantra lives within. Sit quietly for half an hour. Place the hands over the eyes. Feel this in the heart. Draw light from the inner light. Everything within is a single unity. After meditation, share the inner experience. Now remain in silence. Hari Om. “Through them we will all be in our inner self.” “Your mantra is within you, and it brings itself to your heart.” Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The yogi's conscious sleep is a state of awakened rest known only to rare, accomplished beings. In this sleep, one remains inwardly aware, turning night into day. It is a sleep of alertness, not unconsciousness. This practice transcends ordinary relaxation, which is often misunderstood. Common yoga relaxation is mistakenly called the corpse pose, implying death. It should be understood as the bliss pose, representing fullness of life. The practice must be inclusive, free from sectarian symbols so all may benefit. True relaxation means being so profoundly at peace that no external disturbance, like a cobra crossing your path, can create inner agitation. The body rests, but consciousness remains luminous and awake. "In that sleep, one remains awake and turns night into day." "This sleep is known only to the rare, accomplished being."

The true meaning of satsaṅg is shown through a story of marriage and divine friendship. Boys and girls study together, pure like siblings. Then the thought of marriage arises—a merging of husband and wife. A couple marries but does not truly share hearts. For fifty years, he gives hard bread, she desires soft heart-shaped bread. Neither speaks openly, and disharmony persists. At their anniversary, he arranges a meal and finally offers the soft piece. She reveals her long-held wish, and he understands. Their hearts merge and they know real marriage. True love is not body, but insight and mutual care. It means helping each other, being happy and healthy together. In this age, many give up easily. We must live as one. Satsaṅg means sat—all, and sang—together. All beings are one heart. The heart contains the whole world. We are one, nothing beyond this. "Love is that we are all very happy, healthy, and well, bringing everything. I help her, she helps me." "Sat means we are all together. All we are one. Our heart is one."

The essential unity of all beings transcends names and divisions. A universal spiritual truth is present everywhere, yet human divisions persist based on religion or nationality. These distinctions are superficial and dissolve when the soul leaves the body. All life is interconnected, like countless lives within a single ocean. The core human duty is to recognize this unity, to harm no living being, and to see the divine in every person. One must confront the consequences of past actions, including consuming other life, to progress spiritually. True practice involves daily prayer and seeing the self, the mother, and all others as manifestations of the divine. The ideal is for every being to treat every other with such reverence that no negativity remains. "The living being is like fire, when the fire rises, then what am I? I am a human being." "If a living being kills another living being, it is an animal that eats, not a human." Filming location: Melbourne, Australia

Health and healing are found in nature and yoga. Doctors perform procedures, but problems often recur. Reliance on doctors does not release disease. Many practice yoga without deeper understanding. A simple movement given by a yogi restored stomach comfort for many. Nature offers remedies, like a tree bark that is boiled and drunk, bringing relaxation, yet it does not cure. The bark from a certain tree, dried and powdered, in hot water, can relax the body. A swami developed such a medicine, now approved by government after long effort, to be shared in various countries. Other medicine is also good, but natural ways are very good. Tomorrow, exercises will be done on an empty stomach. Lie down, relax with bent knees, no pillow. Stretch legs, sit up gently. After eating, sit in a comfortable cross-legged position for five minutes; this prevents stomach problems. Those with knee issues should avoid certain postures. Yoga in daily life brings health. Regular practice, even simple movements, yields great benefit. “This medicine also does not cure us. They cannot cure. It is only, ‘Yes, okay, tomorrow,’ and like this.” “Yoga in daily life is so good and beautiful, and it is very good.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The light of life is the central theme, illuminating the transient nature of existence and the eternal soul. Spiritual connection arises through sincere invitation, as with early European visits where hosts purified their kitchens for a vegetarian diet, fostering deep bonds. Life is symbolized by a flame. Darkness represents death, while light is life and awareness. The soul, or Ātmā, is the singular reality within all beings, from humans to animals and seeds, entering the body at conception. The physical form is temporary, composed of the five elements, and is eventually surrendered. The duration of one's life is like the oil in a lamp, predetermined. One should live purely, without harming other life, understanding that all consciousness returns to the source. The observed flame, with its dark and clear parts, mirrors this inner light, which is one with the divine. "Dark is death, and light is life." "Only that everywhere is one Ātmā, the soul, this." Filming locations: Villach, Carinthia, Austria.

The human life is a sacred opportunity to transcend the cycle of suffering and return to the divine source. Our physical body ages and limits us, but within it is the eternal ātmā, the flame of life common to all beings. All creatures live and consume each other, experiencing pain. A true human is defined by causing no pain to any living being, rejecting the consumption of animals. If we torture others, our soul becomes heavy and we fall back into the cycle. If we harm none and respect all, our pure soul ascends to Parabrahma. At death, all identities like religion vanish; only the purity of the soul matters, with the heavy sinking and the pure rising. Ego and self-importance weigh us down. We must protect our inner flame through daily practice, like maintaining a lamp in an ashram, which symbolizes our devotion and pure life. This practice is our seva, aligning us with the universal light. "Jīva jīva bhakṣate. Jīva is living... So jīva to jīva, eating each other." "A true human is the only one who does not say, 'I will live here, I will eat food, but I will not act in a way that causes pain to any humans, or animals, or birds, or anything.'"

Do not cut flowers for offerings, as it takes a life. Use only what falls naturally. Your home is your ashram; light a lamp and pray there daily. Keep the practice alive with simple, regular devotion. The flame represents living life; tend it with care to avoid danger. Water is life, and where there is water, there is God. Practice consistently, for when the light is gone, it is dead. Do not harm others or animals. Learn and teach this to your children. "Please do not take these flowers. A flower is a living thing." "See your flame. What is my flame inside? That I am still life."

You are already a yogī possessing the science; you seek attainment yet have achieved much through practice. Many great yogīs and paths exist, all progressing toward spirituality and God, united as one. Worldly science is good, but spiritual science is paramount. I do not teach against marriage; it is necessary. Have families, give good knowledge, and maintain a righteous life. We must return to disciplined family practices, like prayers before meals. Consider the flame of a lamp. The oil and wick are the body and elements; the flame is your life and spirit. When the oil finishes, the flame—your ātmā—departs. Light a lamp each morning as a meditation on life. This flame is also prāṇa within you. Perform regular pūjā in your āśrama to uplift spirituality and health. Your mantra practice continues within you always, carrying blessings. Do not harbor negativity; be good and unified. We are all one. "Your little children, whom you have taught well, are like Śiva, Brahmā, Viṣṇu." "The flame is what we call our ātmā, our spirit, which then departs." Filming location: Slovenska Vas, Slovenia

Bhārata’s greatness lies in its sages and ṛṣis, but the path is satsaṅg. People came from other lands yet remained unaware of this truth. Gradually many turned to wrong actions. The cosmic law is “jīva jīva bhakṣate”—every living being consumes another. Bhagavān Śiva granted humans a way to rise above this cycle. A human must become one who lives solely for God. Satsaṅg alone makes one like God. Wherever satsaṅg is received, that eternal truth leads forward with God. Through satsaṅg, a person resolves to harm no creature. Eating requires purity: wash, sit, pray, then partake. In India now, many have lost this. The hierarchy is Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, and above them the Guru. The Satguru is the source of removal of all sufferings. Satsaṅg is with the Guru. Everyone must learn to speak in satsaṅg, not merely listen. Understanding the words behind bhajans is essential. Do not just eat, drink, and wander. Engage in satsaṅg and become equal to God. “Jīva jīva bhakṣate.” “Jahan satsaṅg, jahan jisko miltā hai, vo bhagavān jaisā ban jātā hai.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Today is the incarnation of Bhagavān Śrī Gaṇeśa. Gaṇeśa is the first God to be worshipped. He is like Bholenāth, fulfilling wishes. Gaṇeśa should not be taken merely as a physical form; it has many meanings. He is the foundation, balancing everything, called Mūlādhāra. The elephant symbolizes the seven trunks representing the seven essential bodily minerals, the saptadhātu. This is a balancing principle, not just a story for children. Ancient miracles, like cloning in Śiva's time, are beyond modern science. Gaṇeśa is the god of all Gaṇas. He is half animal and half deva. He wrote the Vedas telepathically for Vyāsa. Physical forms and statues are crucial so we do not forget; culture survives through saṃskāras. Therefore, Gaṇeśa should be remembered first in prayer. "Obey, obey, obey your Guru, then you will be successful." "One in all, all in one." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Satsaṅg is the tree of immortality, and the mantra is its fruit. Two parrots spoke of the fleeting nature of the world. One urged the other to repeat the mantra Soham. Worldly passions are poisonous fruits. Death may arrive in a single second. Enjoyments are like a mirage in the desert. A fallen leaf never rejoins its tree. Turn your back on Māyā and face reality. Satsaṅg grants the fruit of immortality. The other parrot reminded: use your own tongue, for death is a cat behind you. Rise daily to meditate, for this garden will dry up. The Guru Paramparā breathes life into the ashram. The consecrated mūrtis are living presences. The mantra’s one word holds the seed of the universe. Realize that word, and all is achieved. The guru embodies simplicity and devotion. The disciple must uphold this dharma. "When a leaf falls from a tree and the wind blows it away, that leaf will never return to the same tree." "The mantra contains the seed of the whole universe. If you are able to realize only one word in your mantra, you will be done; you will be finished." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The sanctity of a place is created by the presence and practice of those who gather there. This land is made holy by your presence. Previously, it was a place of different activities. Now, it is a sanctuary. If you have problems or do not know what to do, come and stay here. It is a holy presence. We must maintain this sanctity by avoiding alcohol and not killing any animals. Even fallen birds should be helped to thrive. We are all here together, whether for one day or a long time. Now, we will do a healing exercise. Focus on your whole body and relax. Place your right hand on your navel. Feel the center without pressure. Notice if there is movement to the left or right side. You can place a hand on a neighbor and offer peace. Some may feel pain on one side. Lie down comfortably. There are techniques to help. We will address stomach problems further. For now, rest. "This land is very holy because you all make it holy." "Only we should not have alcohol... no killing any animals."

Observing the navel is a foundational practice in awareness. Sit comfortably and place a middle finger gently on the navel without pressure. Observe the breath's movement from this point for five minutes, then lower the hand. Observe again without touch for another five minutes. This point is significant as our initial connection to life. Be relaxed yet sit straight to perceive the movements. The practice involves feeling subtle shifts within the abdomen, left, right, or middle, without force. It is a direct observation of internal sensation. The body must be completely relaxed to perceive these subtle workings. This simple observation is the essence of the practice. "Simply observe when and how you are with the breath moving in and out." "Just feel how it is, how you feel sometimes, pressure or something, what happens in your body."

The seed of life and reverence for all beings is the foundation of practice. Physical exercise like asana is essential, akin to washing upon waking, but sustenance comes first. All creatures, from ants to humans, possess the seed of their life. The Buddha exemplified reverence, moving slowly to avoid harming any living thing and sharing his alms food first with ants and animals. This principle of non-harm extends to not consuming meat or alcohol. A tree descended from the Buddha's own was planted in Australia, showing this reverence can grow anywhere. True practice involves this profound respect for all life, connecting us to a greater spiritual reality. "Only doing āsana, prāṇāyāma, and so on is very important, very important." "He goes for bhikṣu, and he is going, walking to there. But very slowly, so that no ants, no animals, and if there are some trees, little trees, will not break anything."

Health is sustained through dedicated practice and service, not by temporary measures. Many foretold a great illness, yet those consistently practicing Yoga in Daily Life remained very healthy. Health comes from long-term discipline in food, water, and exercise, not from claiming wellness only when convenient. Our collective health during that time demonstrates this. True practice requires years of commitment, not short-term effort. Similarly, service (seva) means selflessly helping others, such as supporting poor children's education, without attaching names or conditions. Financial support for the work flows to the centers for all, not to any individual. The guru-disciple relationship is foundational. Your first guru is like your mother—a primary, lifelong connection. Yet you may learn from many gurus, as a child learns from many relatives. A living tradition has many gurus and disciples; it is not limited to one. We are all human beings first. "All our Yoga in Daily Life people, they were really very healthy." "When you have once your guru, which is great, it is great... But you can go to anyone, to any gurus, you can go, blessing and learning anything, no problem, but still it is that guru." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Establish a consistent daily practice for spiritual progress. A dedicated daily sādhanā of half an hour to one hour is essential. Practice early in the morning to avoid disturbing others. This regularity is more valuable than intensive, irregular efforts. Discipline your eating: consume meals only at set times, with nothing but water in between. This aids both physical health and meditative focus. The practice involves concentrating on three points: the head, chest, or navel. Choose one and maintain your focus there consistently. This internal focus must be learned and sustained. Do not mix practices or overcomplicate your routine. Simplicity and regularity are the foundations. The technique is a gift from the lineage, meant to be integrated into your entire life. "Three times you can eat, but between meals, nothing except water." "One is thinking maybe here, or here in the chest, or in the navel. Only these three." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Welcome to this gathering on spiritual progress and practice. A global community has come together after a period of separation. Observing the growth in practice, especially outside India, is heartening. Early encounters revealed different lifestyles, yet many embraced change, giving up meat and alcohol, leading to health and goodness. This reflects a human evolution from basic existence toward higher consciousness, guided by divine knowledge. Humanity has advanced greatly in science and material development. Alongside this worldly path exists the distinct, ancient path of yogic science, now spreading through Sanātana Dharma across all countries. Many from various nations now live as sādhus, learning peace and purity in āśrams. This understanding deepens as more engage with these practices from within. "Then came Bhagavān Śiva, who gave this to humans." "In a few years now, we will see that we will all come to good in this world." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Māyā: The Great Deceiver and the Roasting of Vāsanās Vāsanās are deep desires that fuel restlessness. Cintā and Tṛṣṇā burn as consuming fires, ruling the mind with anger and jealousy. The seeds of vāsanās must be roasted through the fire of tapasyā so they never sprout. Karma enforces illness and sorrow; even God cannot interfere. The human birth and Gurudeva give tools to escape the cycle. Prayer, meditation, and rigorous practice are the path. A yogī once questioned Viṣṇu about māyā. Viṣṇu said, “I am thirsty; bring water.” The yogī walked to a distant village. A beautiful young girl answered the door. She fed him, touched him, and offered rest. He forgot his mission entirely. Desire arose, and they married. They had children and built a life. Then monsoon floods swept through, destroying everything. Struggling to save his family, he lost them all to the raging water. Unconscious, he washed ashore and finally awoke. Turning, he saw Viṣṇu, who simply asked, “Where is my water?” The entire life had been an illusion cast by māyā. “Do not give a chance to yourself for these vāsanās, for these wishes.” “Between here and Brahma Loka, everything is like the kākaviṣṭhā—the excrement of a crow.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

This is an evening session for relaxation and gentle exercise. Begin by closing the eyes and feeling the body. Systematically bring awareness to each part, from the feet and legs to the hands, stomach, shoulders, and head. Inhale and exhale through both nostrils. The goal is for the entire body and inner parts to be very relaxed, without judgment of any sensations. If feeling cold, one may sit up. Proceed with simple exercises: sitting with hands on thighs, raising arms, and looking side to side. Perform movements with the legs, such as raising them while seated. Sit comfortably with knees apart, moving the arms up and down. After eating, it is beneficial to sit quietly. Straighten the legs and feel relaxed. Practice movements while seated straight, focusing on the buttocks. Alternate placing one leg over the other thigh. Conclude by lying down to relax for a few minutes before slowly sitting up. "Relax. Don’t think that this is not good or that is good, or that and this, nothing. Be relaxed." "It is said, after eating, five minutes. One should sit like this."

Sanātana Dharma teaches a life of peace and harmony. Upon waking, recognize "I am human." This human life is a precious gift. The ātmā, the eternal Self, is the essence within all forms. While nature operates on a principle where life consumes life, the human birth offers a unique opportunity. Humans possess understanding and capability far beyond other beings. This potential should be directed toward good, peaceful, and humble actions, avoiding harm to living beings. The current age is turning toward purity. Regardless of differing religions, the human capacity for goodness unites all. Affirm this human potential daily. "All humans know everything. They can do many things." "In the morning when you wake up, say, 'I am human. I am a human being.'"

The Guru principle originates from and exists for Śiva, who is supreme. The ultimate Guru is not a person but Śiva Himself, the source from which all emerges and to which all returns. We are all within that reality. Spiritual practice, like absorbing bhajans, connects one to this truth, not through intellectual methods but through the real Guru principle. Modern life creates suffering, particularly for children when family bonds are broken. Parents should remain with a child until adulthood, around age twenty-five, to provide stability. Without this foundational care, familial strife arises, making the household path difficult. "Above that is the Guru... ultimately, it is that Śiva." "Until at least 25 years, do not go... then you can go with him or on your own."

The greatness of Śrī Devpurījī Mahādeva is central to the lineage. He is the Gurudeva of Śrī Mahāprabhujī and the disciple of Śrī Alakhpurījī. A great promise was made that after his departure, a great yogī would come from Satyaloka. His physical body is gone, but he is not gone; he is here. He gives inner peace and complete ānanda. Śrī Devpurījī had many siddhis and controlled the five elements. He lived simply, often misunderstood, but possessed another consciousness. He performed tapasyā in the Himalayas. Visiting his places, like his simple kuṭī, evokes a feeling of coming home. The Guru is the source, like a tree bearing fruit. All disciples are fruits from that one tree. There is both science and God; one should not deny either. The internal sādhanā leads to God. "He said that after he departs, a great, great yogī will come from Satyaloka." "Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalaṁ Śiṣya Ke Ānanda Karam." Filming locations: Kailāśa Āśram, District Sīkhar, Rājasthān, India.

The soul’s unquenched thirst is the path of sādhanā. A bird refuses lower water, longing only for the drop from above. That yearning symbolizes the soul’s desire for the divine, not worldly satisfactions. Such longing begins sādhanā. Sādhanā is essential; without it, the seeker has nothing. It includes meditation, concentration, service, and love. Love, pyāra, is the heart of sādhanā, directed to all. The guru’s bhajans carry hidden truth, given instantly from divine inspiration. The heart holds both good and bad; through sādhanā, it becomes purified. True pearls are the teachings of sādhus and saints. Imitations cannot capture the real essence. The heart must fill with love for the all-pervading God. When prema is full, all problems dissolve. A mantra is a personal transmission, kept secret between guru and disciple. The thirst of the soul must be turned upward, not to fleeting things. Without this turning, the seeker remains stuck. The sādhanā of love and surrender brings fulfillment. “She only suffers, looking upward: 'I want to drink that water, only that water from above.'” “Sādhanā is everything we need; without it we are nothing.” Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The divine lineage flows from ancient sources to the present practice. Alak Purījī was present in Śiva's time. Alak Nanda Devi, a disciple, became a cow to save her herd from a tiger; the river Alaknanda and temples commemorate her. Śiva later married Pārvatī. This lineage includes Devpurījī and Mahāprabhujī, leading to the current Gurudev. The guru-disciple relationship is fundamental and should not be changed; it is like the bond between mother and child. The mother is primary, as in "matri devo bhavaḥ." Humans possess a divine essence but must choose rightly. All creatures live by consuming each other, yet humans are told, "you are like a God," because they possess discernment. One must remember this upon waking: "I am human." Honor both your biological mother and Mother Earth. Practice yoga in daily life. A specific practice involves placing attention on the chest and navel with warmth, without pressure, focusing on the breath and subtle internal movements. Mastering this internal language makes one a great yogī. "we are the human, we are the God." "matri devo bhavaḥ." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The lineage from Śiva to this āśram is our foundation. Alak Purījī was present with Śiva, as known from the Śiva Purāṇa given by Mahāprabhujī. I received this knowledge from Gurujī and Dev Purījī. That primordial time had no divisions like Christianity or Islam; now we see all doing well. Our purpose is unity. This āśram is for everyone, a seed from which all grows. We must build a larger āśram together through contributions, big or small. Practice yoga in daily life. Help each other; do not speak of others' mistakes. If one has no money, we help. We must become one spiritual ocean, connected to the guru lineage. "At that time, there were no Christians, there were no Muslims, and the differences were not great." "This āśram is for each and every one. Yes, all these countries." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

True renunciation is an inner colour, not an outer cloth. Maṅgīlāl Jī, a great scholar, came to Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī and became a disciple. Mahāprabhujī had a cave prepared and seated him inside. The world did not know for how many days he sat absorbed. Maṅgīlāl Jī asked to be made a sannyāsī and to have the cloth spread upon him. Mahāprabhujī replied: your colour is not a cloth. Create that colour within your heart. Then do not take the outer cloth. He gave instruction and made him a sannyāsī. There is no one else like him. His devotion is a model. The bhajan comes from his book. Mahāprabhujī declared no one is great, yet after one Rājā who held this sādhanā, Maṅgīlāl Jī arose. One must understand oneself beyond the body. In the company of great men, humans transform into Bhagavān. The Guru does not say “I am sad.” The Guru and disciple are equal, yet the Guru holds the stick. "Your colour is not a cloth; you must create that colour within your heart so that it dwells there—then do not take the outer cloth." "He is not a Guru, and He is not a disciple either. Every disciple is equal to the disciple and the Guru, yet even so the Guru holds the stick for them." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Singing bhajans.

Be the universal sun, a single light for all. Open your hand and contemplate being like the sun. The sun is one universal light. You should be that one sun. This provides great illumination and light for everyone. The discourse then shifts to practical instructions for a journey. Preparations and offerings are arranged. The instruction is to proceed with these items and return home promptly. "I am like the sun. The sun is one in the world, a universal light." "Now, go and do... anywhere, okay? This is with you, take it with you, and hurry home."

The essence of devotion is surrender to the Guru, the embodiment of supreme consciousness. All glory to the supreme Guru, who is Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshvara, the visible supreme Brahman. Salutations to that Guru. Take shelter at the Guru’s feet. His darshan is true wealth, a mass of consciousness and bliss. Lord Shesha and Mahesha serve him. Keep the devotee in your refuge. Offer body, mind, and wealth. The sages remember the avatars, the Vedas cannot fathom the Guru. What effort can be made? The Self is not mind, intellect, ego, or memory. The doer is the Lord alone. There is no dharma, artha, kama, moksha; no merit, pleasure, pain; no mantra, pilgrimage. Pure consciousness does not arise by effort; have compassion, bestow grace. The highest salutation. The Guru’s darshan is the essence of crossing existence. Victory to the Satguru, the truth, and to the eternal Sanatana Dharma. “Gurur Brahmā Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvaraḥ; Guruḥ sākṣāt Parabrahma, tasmai Śrī Gurave namaḥ.” “Na puṇyaṃ na saukhyaṃ na duḥkham, na mantro na tīrthaḥ.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Yoga Nidrā, the conscious sleep, is realized through satsaṅg. On Guru Pūrṇimā, satsaṅg is received. Satsaṅg means company of truth. Truth is what exists in past, present, and future. That truth is God alone. The guru reveals the way to truth. Through satsaṅg, life progresses, bringing love, devotion, and detachment. An insect in a flower is carried to the saint via a garland. Likewise, the seeker reaches God through the guru’s grace. Many from distant lands follow this path. Their devotion is deep, their service humble. They realize non-violence, abstaining from meat. The rare saint knows Yoga Nidrā: awake within sleep. In that sleep, consciousness perceives the inner light. Ordinary sleep is unconscious. The yogi’s sleep is alert awareness. This is the teaching of the saints. "Sat means truth. What is the truth that stays in the future, in the past, and in the present? That truth is only God." "Through that mala, the germ comes to the holy saint. Just like that, the holy saints, the beloved Gurudev, bring us to God." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Our tradition holds the Satguru as supreme, and this period is significant. I have been here 56 years; our path is beyond mere exercise. For at least 20 years, I have said disciples should have this specific dress—it is a screen of ourselves, not just clothing. Worldwide styles change, and it is your choice, but we must have respect. I am sorry to say, but attire above the knee is not good. Our yoga people here are doing this. From today, I ask for good dress and color in our yoga and āśrams. We will have our own standard. We have little time; this is a primary point. Soon we will have ceremonies at our Om Ashram with many programs. You know Bhagavān Śiva. Nandī is a great being who conveys messages to Śiva. You first make praṇām to Nandi, then to Shiva; your message will go automatically. I tried and got something for you all. "Maheśvarānand, exercise is okay, but you have to go further, five speeds beyond that." "This dress... is not just clothing. It is a screen of ourselves, a screen."

The practice focuses on Bhramarī and relaxation. Place index fingers gently in ears. No external sounds. Elbows natural. Perform Bhramarī eleven times. Exhalation not too prolonged. After eleven, hands down. Close eyes. Concentrate on the Bhramarī resonance. Then lie on the back. Place right middle finger on navel. Hand rests lightly. Then fold both hands. Bend knees. Feet on floor. Head rests. Relax deeply. "In Bhramarī, the index fingers are placed gently in the ears so that you will not hear any external sounds." "The authentic practice, which we have in our tradition, is pure and very well preserved." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.

Daily spiritual practice is as essential as breathing. Without consistent effort, nothing can be sustained. Begin with devotion to Hanuman, for without that foundation, no progress is possible. The practice itself is the real achievement, known as the yogic sleep of the yogis. Maintain order and come forward calmly to receive the blessing. Do not rush. The offering is given freely; monetary contribution is not the point. Sit quietly and participate in the chant. "Without Hanuman, nothing can happen." "Money doesn’t matter. If you want to give money and it is not there, I will give the money."

Constant practice arises only through surrender to grace. Some receive techniques and sustain them day and night through grace. Others occasionally try but cannot control themselves. The Guru gives methods for eating, practicing, yet many return home and lose steadiness. The heart may be willing but practice falters. Now, lie down and relax. Let the body become heavy. Feel the foot, only the foot. Bend the legs, lift the soles slightly. Touch the foot gently with the fingers. Lie on the stomach and look forward. Slowly reach the foot without pressing hard. Lying on the back now, place the right hand on the chest, the left hand on the navel. Let the chest and navel settle into comfort. A warm peace spreads through the body. Stay within the body, not wandering. Meditate only on the heart and the navel. Relax, just feel. “Only the grace of the Supreme Lord acts.” “Only feeling, the rest of the body is here—heart, chest, and navel. Relax, relax, relax.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The heart and navel are central points for spiritual practice and the transmission of grace. A simple exercise involves placing the right hand on the heart to generate warmth and life. This practice, done briefly several times daily, sustains one's vitality. The ultimate spiritual truth flows through a lineage of grace, originating from the primordial source. This lineage, distinct from ordinary teachers, is embodied by the Satguru. It is a continuous stream from the divine source, through figures like Śiva and Alakhpurījī, down to the present. This grace is not bound by human constructs or geography. It is received and sustained through dedicated practice and awareness focused on the heart center. The precise technique and its power are transmitted directly from yogī to disciple, beyond intellectual understanding. "Life is in the heart, and power where? There, in the navel." "This truth is coming from many, many Gurus."

The gathering celebrates a spiritual unity that transcends physical separation and religious identity. True connection is found within the heart through meditation and practice. The essence of all beings is one, like individual drops merging into a single ocean. This oneness is the foundation of peace and harmony. External labels and forms are secondary to this inner reality. The path is inclusive, welcoming all who seek with sincerity. The focus remains on this shared spiritual essence beyond all divisions. "Sanātana Dharma, is Sanātana Dharma in that we are, we lead, we are doing, and we concentrate, and we, for all, all people, any religions, we love equally." "And it is like this, let’s say, the whole ocean, big in the ocean. And then one drop, a very little drop, that is also from that ocean."

The path requires purity and the Guru's grace. Chanting the divine names is essential, merging the individual with the divine reality. Without the Guru, there is nothing; the Guru provides all that is needed for spiritual progress. Many traditions exist for honoring the departed, but the core principle is surrender. Modern lifestyles, involving impure food and harming life, lead to disease and disconnect. The body must be purified through clean living and disciplined practice. True yoga is a pure path followed by sincere seekers everywhere, creating lineages of disciples who live correctly. "Without the Guru, there is nothing." "We have to purify our whole body."

Observe the Brahmari, the humming bee, to understand vibration and creation. This small creature demonstrates the capacity to hover in stillness, a principle mirrored in technology and breath. Its energy is internal and formative. Three aspects exist: one sleeps inside, another flees, and a third stands witness to the true Brahmari. This creature builds intricate structures, sealing itself within while producing a resonant sound. That sound is a fundamental vibration, an injection of creative force. The practice involves discerning this vibration within oneself, ensuring its balance and purity. Mastery requires consistent, mindful practice of breath and attention at the heart center, not prolonged effort but precise, dedicated application. True progress depends on sincere personal effort under guidance, avoiding distraction. Purification is essential, likened to keeping a river clean amidst pollution. "This Brahmari, she is singing also. It is like an injection. It gives an injection." "If we can really, for five minutes, you will be the greatest of the great."

The essence of spiritual transmission lies in the Guru's grace and the disciple's receptivity. The sacred words and hymns originate from the enlightened masters. These teachings are preserved in extensive texts. The precise historical details are less significant than the living truth they convey. The fundamental reality is known directly through this grace. Logical analysis of form cannot grasp this essence. The path is sustained by devotion and attentive listening. "Antaḥ Mūlaṁ Guru Vākyaṁ, Śravaṇa Mūlaṁ Guru Kṛpā."

Heaven on Earth manifests in this ashram with blessings from South India. Devoted guests from Jadan, Rajasthan, come from a lineage of great service. Their father, once a royal servant, now creates forests and feeds all animals freely. The mother awakens at four, performs puja, and partakes of a single meal each day. Soon the Jadan ashram will open as a sanctuary of divine peace. South India, untouched by historical invasions, houses innumerable Shiva temples. Here a temple will enshrine a sacred pearl brought from that holy region. All who visit will experience spiritual awakening. Cow shelters in the south care for cattle just as in Jadan. The steel industries in the south, employing many, are blessed and expanding to Europe. Now relax the entire body. Turn within and feel only the heart. Let go of all outer distractions. Warmth and comfort fill the heart. This silence is the divine presence. Everything is found within. “I have not planned my trip here today, but it is because of Prabhujī's āśīrvāda that I am here today and able to witness this beautiful environment, and I think it is heaven on earth.” “South India is undisturbed by the invasions that happened in India, so it is still pure, and it is a region where you can see Lord Śiva's many temples.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
