Spiritual practice requires constant inner work and alignment, not merely external actions. The seat is elevated to see everyone clearly, which also naturally straightens the spine. Hard work on this place continues, though it is borrowed and requires great effort. Projects succeed only when aligned with a higher will, not through personal effort alone. True spiritual work is internal, concerning the chakras and Kundalini within. All practice must aim for self-realization, not liberation through words. A single negative action can undo accumulated good karma, like a basket of water falling back just before being pulled to safety. Therefore, constant vigilance in thought, word, and deed is essential. Practice the subtle techniques like Aśvinī Mudrā and Brahmari to awaken inner energy, ensuring the vibration is balanced between both brain hemispheres. "A single negative action can undo accumulated good karma, like a basket of water falling back just before being pulled to safety." "Projects succeed only when aligned with a higher will, not through personal effort alone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Life is sacred and permeates all existence. Spiritual atmosphere is present everywhere through guides and sacred images. The Himalayas and places like Mount Kailāśa hold this essence. The entire Earth is alive; even soil teems with unseen life. Our own body is not a single entity but contains multitudes of living beings within its parts. All elements—water, stone, air—are manifestations of life. Desire acts like a balloon, lifting us but ultimately pulling us back to earthly cycles. True transcendence means going beyond everything and not returning. Spiritual practice requires patient, steady effort without force, like a mother cow yielding milk. The goal is to realize our fundamental unity, like melting separate gold ornaments into one. "Everything on this Earth is alive. The whole Earth, even what we cannot see, has life inside." "Where will we go? No feeling of the cold. No fire you can feel, no elements you can feel, so don’t worry." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The supreme principle is non-violence, which is the highest dharma. Anger destroys spiritual progress, like breaking a vessel of water at the doorstep. Life is fragile and can end suddenly. We must purify our heart and mind to avoid rebirth. Spiritual practice requires the Guru's grace. Techniques and initiations are like a passport; they are non-transferable and must come from one's root Guru within an authentic lineage. Sharing them with others renders them void for both parties. Respect all teachers, but do not mix or abandon your foundational spiritual connection. "Anger means it destroys everything. How many years we do sādhanā, and if someone says something and we get angry, we destroy it." "These techniques... my dears, all my kriyās and techniques, if you go away and you give them further, it’s nothing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The instrument of life must be understood and handled with care, beginning with the study of chakras and kuṇḍalinī from the roots. Any instrument, whether a machine, a horse, or the human body, requires a knowledgeable handler. A horse is a great animal and a friend, sensing fear and responding with care if treated with respect. The human body is a fragile instrument; its health depends on controlled habits of eating, moving, and sleeping. Upon waking, remember you are human and see first the faces of parents or spiritual images. Respect parents deeply, for they protected and suffered for you. All humans are one, despite different names or races. Step onto the earth as your mother and begin the day with water, touching the nerve system. Understanding chakras is natural; fearing them leads to problems. You are already divine; your chakras are okay. Do not rush. This study requires a true guru. "The instrument itself does not matter. Any kind of instrument should not be given into the hands of a person who does not know how to handle it." "First, I am human. When we think really, really, then the whole day we will not do anything wrong to other humans." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The bhajan Prakāś Puñj Amṛt Sāgar contains the whole cosmos. It was composed by Holī Gurujī in a brief span, capturing the entire universe. The first word Prakāś means light, the light of the Ātmā and Paramātmā. When a child is born, light enters the home. Puñj signifies a handful of light from realized saints. Amṛt kā Sāgar is the ocean of immortal nectar, filling the seven oceans and beyond. Śrī Dīp Harī Mahādhānī names the Lord as light, Viṣṇu, the supremely wealthy one who gives everything. The line Sare viśvame guñj rahī prabhukī amar kahānī declares the immortal story of the Lord resounds everywhere. Guñj is sound, transcendent knowledge, which is itself light. Learning this bhajan exactly requires no other practice. The nectar is peace, harmony, love flowing cosmically. All water is that nectar. The saint who gives this is forever present. Mahādhānī means giving without attachment. Even a thief taking everything does not diminish the giver, for God returns more. The immortal story is eternal. One who gives becomes a house of God. "Prakāś Puñj Amṛt kā Sāgar, Śrī Dīp Harī Mahādhānī." "Sare viśvame guñj rahī prabhukī amar kahānī." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Hidden powers reside within the human being, mapped through the chakras. The Mūlādhāra Cakra holds karmic destiny and the dormant Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Life's direction is determined in the Svādhiṣṭhāna Cakra, shaped by choosing sādhanā over consumption. Through practice, three powers awaken: prāṇa-śakti, dhāraṇā-śakti, and chaitanya-śakti. These are accessed via four gateways: nourishment, breath, conscious movement, and external intake, including the Guru's word. Mastering these grants the divine Śaktis of will and creativity. Success here allows movement to the Maṇipūra Cakra, the transformer of divine power and seat of deep light and sacred sound. The Ājñā Chakra is the managing principle. The Anāhata Chakra holds the power of love and balances the soul against the ego. The Viśuddhi Cakra purifies the final poisons of individualism. The foundational three powers are cultivated in Svādhiṣṭhāna; higher siddhis come later. The Guru principle manages this entire play of energies. "The play of various Śaktis can only be managed by Gurudev." "Gu is darkness, and ru is light... It is the play or game of darkness and light, wisdom and ignorance."

The essence of fragrance, or Sugandha, signifies inner purity and the pervasive influence of goodness. A good person, like a fragrance, perfumes their entire surroundings. This principle extends from personal cleanliness and diet to one's spiritual state. What we consume affects our subtle body and even our smell; purity in food leads to purity in being. Do not be misled by fear, which is often a creation of the mind, as illustrated by a story where a man mistook moonlight for a ghost. True progress involves recognizing the inherent worth and beauty in all, understanding that every woman embodies the mother. Our work is to spread the knowledge and grace of the Guru Paramparā in all our actions. "Where there is Sugandha, there is no negativity." "Take your fear out. Then you will be happy, healthy, everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The lineage of spiritual knowledge originates in ancient wisdom, yet its essence is often lost. This knowledge flows from Śiva through sages like Alakpurījī and is preserved in scriptures like the Vedas and Purāṇas. In a purer age, people dedicated themselves to this study and lived accordingly. Over time, this dedication faded, and knowledge was written down to prevent its loss. Now, many neglect these roots despite their availability. Concurrently, material science advances, but often at the cost of forgetting foundational spiritual truths. Both domains hold great value, but a balance is essential. The core of progress lies in maintaining faith and spiritual orientation amidst worldly development. "Next to God is the doctor."

A satsang celebrates the 76th birth anniversary of Viśvagurujī. Forty-four years ago, when first met, he resided in a small room with one window and already planned the Om Ashram. His vision was clear and far-sighted. Holy Gurujī sent him to spread India’s wisdom and spirituality to the world. He accomplished not only tangible ashrams but far greater intangible transformations. He changed many lives and made a deep impact on world, culture, and humanity, with immense contribution to spirituality. He is called the greatest karma yogī ever to live on earth. A disciple recounts that strict Holy Gurujī smiled and softened whenever Viśvagurujī’s name was spoken. His heart melted at the name or even the thought. Once a cap was ruined, but mentioning Viśvagurujī dispelled all anger; the response was that the cap did not matter. Holy Gurujī composed a bhajan praising his disciple. This is unique in a tradition where disciples always praise the master. The bhajan conveys deep love. The birthday wish is that he fulfills all projects, ensuring his continued physical presence for many years. Gratitude is offered for accepting disciples. "Swāmījī is the biggest karma yogī that ever lived on earth." "Wow, the cap doesn't matter." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

This is a holy place where purity is maintained and prayers are offered three times daily. Here, no meat, alcohol, or chemicals are allowed. The world faces a disease; many die each day, so we protect ourselves carefully. Animals and the forest are untouched, so we examine our food, water, and lifestyle. Meat and alcohol are harmful, but we can only pray and send good thoughts. A fourth disease is predicted, spreading like perfume, its origin unknown. A young boy, Ivo Skoczek, died in a bicycle accident at midnight. We pray for him to enter the cosmic light. We are born to reach Parabrahma Paramātmā in this life. Only each one knows their own thoughts and deeds. No one admits negativity, but do not assume goodness. Before death, the highest reveals if one goes to Parabrahma or returns. The ātmā and jīva are equal in all—the elephant and ant, ocean and drop, all like one sun. Practice meditation in the heart; thinking outside is not meditation. Life is like a bird’s nest: eggs fall to crows and snakes. The boy’s death shows that even the strong meet death; death is death. A lamp is prepared for him. "What is meditation? Meditation is only in your heart, that is all, within your body. When we think outside, then it is outside." "The elephant is big, the ant is very small, but the ātmā and the jīva are equal."

Continue your sādhana for life. Your practice creates waves of energy that expand across the earth. Seva is the greatest practice; it uplifts completely when performed without any sense of "I gave you." Your life follows four stages: student, householder, forest dweller, and renunciant. The guru's grace is present in every breath, and the mantra is the mind finding fullness. "Seva is the biggest. It is 100% sure that if you are doing seva, then it is said it will take us on its palms." "Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam, we don’t need to do anything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice is to chant oṃ from the navel to the sahasrāra through seven stations. Sit in vajrāsana. Perform five rounds of prāṇāyāma with the mantra oṃ. Direct the sound from the navel upward through seven steps to the crown. Return the sound to the navel afterward. Close the eyes to concentrate. Hear the sound in the ears during the chant. The common way uses only three steps, but true yoga requires the sevenfold navel path. With proper learning, the energy will also descend from the navel to the mūlādhāra. Refine the chant using vowel sounds like a, u, and i. Let the sound flow beautifully through the nostrils and travel upward. Feel the resonance in the eyes and ears comfortably. When the lips close, the sound goes from the palate down to both nostrils. Then it moves to the bindu and again to the sahasrāra. Practice daily to understand this ascending movement. "Five times this 'oṃ' from the navel to the sahasrāra." "When we close our lips, at that time, it will go from the palate, coming down to both nostrils, then it will go again into bindu and sahasrāra." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The eternal spiritual lineage descends from Śiva through great beings across the ages. This lineage flows through generations. Great yogis and ṛṣis performed intense tapasyā, often in places like the Himalayas. They transcended physical limitations, achieving an astral existence or mokṣa, remaining as unseen protectors. Human civilization has evolved immensely from primitive beginnings, developing language, knowledge, and technology. This development carries both great potential and peril, as seen in conflict and inequality. The lineage includes luminous beings like Alak Purījī and Devapurījī, who manifest blessings and guidance. These beings and the ancient ṛṣis, symbolized by stars, continually observe and protect humanity. The current age, despite its advancements, requires remembering this sacred connection and living without unnecessary strife. "Our spiritual life, in that, they are living still everywhere." "These ṛṣis are here, and they are looking at us." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Happiness and yoga are about opening the heart and clearing small misunderstandings that cause lifelong unhappiness. Birds are happy every day in their nests, while humans find only brief happiness during festivities. Silence and relaxation open the heart. Yoga aims to keep body and being healthy, happy, relaxed. Unhappiness arises from small, unspoken grievances. A couple were childhood friends and married. The wife wanted the husband to offer her the soft heart of the bread. He always ate it himself and never offered. She remained silent for fifty years. On their golden anniversary, he arranged a special breakfast and asked why she was never happy. She explained about the bread, and he immediately gave her the heart. She became overjoyed, and they declared a true marriage, dancing in embrace. A small thing had stolen their life. The lesson is to communicate small wants. Clear the why to find joy. Instead of refusal, say yes when possible. Relax and be happy as friends and neighbors. "So you see, just for a little thing, we have lost our whole life." "If we can clear this why, then there will be joy, happiness, and everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Milk is a primary source of prāṇa, essential for health. It comes from mothers—human, cow, buffalo, goat, or camel. From milk comes yogurt, then butter, then ghee, the essence that nourishes the body. The quality of the milk depends on the animal's health and feed; pure grass yields pure milk. Modern processing often adulterates this purity. Animals feel pain, so they must be treated with care and compassion, not exploitation. Consume milk consciously, knowing its source. Alcohol is a medicine, not for regular drinking; it causes familial strife. Choose good food without chemicals for your family's well-being. All religions are good; practice your sādhanā consciously, respecting others. Beauty is in the soul, not the transient body. "From the milk comes yogurt; from yogurt comes butter; and from butter comes ghee. That is the quality, that is the power that is good for our body’s health." "All animals or humans, we are living, they feel pain, and we also feel the pain. Therefore, we should take care." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga must progress step by step from physical practice to spiritual understanding. Practicing only physical movement is insufficient, yet without movement, health suffers. Beginners should not be mixed with advanced students, just as kindergarten is separate from primary school. A structured, step-by-step system is essential. Yoga leads to good health, relaxation, and meditation, but then it must address spirituality. Spirituality itself has different paths and can become mixed with cultural religion, leading to conflict. True spirituality is humble and peaceful, not fighting. Dietary discipline like avoiding meat and alcohol is integral to the practice, not to be omitted to attract students. A holistic path leads from body to spirit. "Practicing only physical movement is not enough. But also, without movements of the body is also not good." "When I came to Europe, I was in Austria. And I was... Everybody, I said, 'You have to, don't eat meat and this.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is the vast unity of all existence, encompassing every path and every life. You arrive not tired, for this spiritual atmosphere provides energy. We gather from different paths, becoming one in purpose to advance our spirituality day by day. Yoga is not merely physical practice; it is the unity of all life, the meeting of self and God, and the very process of creation and return. From the primordial state of Parabrahma Paramātmā emerged the elements and Śiva, representing the coming together that is yoga. Life began with a need, a fire of hunger that compelled movement and the search for food, leading to a state where life consumes life. As humans, we seek purification from this cycle. Great beings like the Buddha realized the path of non-violence, understanding that to kill and eat life is adharma, while compassion is dharma. We may not be like the great masters, but by following their teachings and our practices, we walk the path toward oneness with the divine. "One in all and all in one." "Yoga is not merely movements in the body... The whole part of humans and all other creatures, where there is movement, life—it doesn't matter from whom it is—everything is yoga."

The spiritual power of early morning is essential for health and liberation. Waking before sunrise is a profound spiritual practice. Great beings advise against eating after sunset and emphasize rising before the sun. The predawn humidity on grass is considered Amṛta, a sustaining nectar. Walking barefoot on this morning dew for a few minutes can alleviate many ailments. Modern life, with late sleep schedules, creates laziness and prevents this. Go to sleep early, a few hours after sunset. All of nature, including flowers and animals, awakens with this early energy. A story illustrates the bondage of worldly attachment. A farmer, blessed with a son by a sādhu, becomes too attached to his family to seek liberation. Through many lifetimes—as a cow, a dog, and a cobra—he remains bound. Finally, through the guru's grace, he is reborn as a bee in a lotus offered to the Divine, achieving liberation. The persistent guru ultimately guides the soul to freedom. Connect with this morning energy by walking barefoot on wet grass or stones to absorb its power. "To see the early morning before the sun is one of the best spiritual thoughts." "When the real guru is there, not this life, next life, it will bring him to liberation." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Fasting and disciplined eating are foundational for health and spiritual progress. Specific days are designated for eating once or abstaining from food, with water permitted. This practice aligns the body and supports digestion. Modern habits of constant eating and consuming heavy meals, especially meat and alcohol late at night, disrupt health and clarity. A sattvic life with three meals, nothing after sunset, and no intoxicants leads to a peaceful, conscious existence and a dignified death. Spiritual practice requires unwavering faith, as divine support is assured for those with true confidence. Belief must be placed in the divine, not in material wealth, which characterizes the current age. "One should have three meals with nothing in between." "Believe in God, not in gold."

A satsang gathering moves through bhajans, prasad distribution, and spontaneous instructions. The bhajan is very nice and has been heard many times. This bhajan comes from Brahmānandajī, Śivānandajī, Maṅgilālajī, Maṅgalānandjī, Lalanandjī, and others. Everyone, eat the prasāda. Otherwise, so many ants will come. It is also acceptable for ants. Who waters the plants? They are completely dry. Glory to Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Śrī Sunda Śrī Mahārāj. Glory to Mahāprabhujī, Sanātana Dharma, and Śaṁkara Mahādeva. Who will dance today? A good bhajan will come with the bhajan. People say bhajans are better. The prasāda container is full and getting out. Next time, give two portions. Above fifty is the majority. Not pa deśa, but a coming together. Should one go there or will they come here? Above fifty, finished? No. "Very nice bhajan, isn't it? We have heard it many times." "Who will dance today?

A guidance on the practice of Brahmari Prāṇāyāma. Sit in Siddhāsana or Vajrāsana with a straight back. Place the hands on the thighs or knees, keeping the elbows straight. Bow the head to bring the chin near the collarbones. Inhale slowly through both nostrils, directing the breath into the lower abdomen. Exhale slowly through the mouth without sound. Maintain this posture and breath pattern for multiple rounds. The practice generates energy and reduces the need for sleep. Correct alignment is essential; observe others if unsure. This technique is a foundational part of yogic sādhanā. "Only inhale through both nostrils and exhale through the mouth." "With this sādhanā, I get such energies and breath, so my sleeping need is not anymore."

This place is a sanctuary of purity and spiritual well-being. It is full of prāṇa and very good for health, as our environment here is clean and free from chemicals. The natural water flows, the healthy trees, and the pure air create a healing atmosphere. People recover from ailments and stress through meditation, prāṇāyāma, and satsaṅg. This is a retreat from the modern world's pollution and materialism. We observe that modern comforts and money often lead to loss and dissatisfaction, unlike the simple, pure life here. The ashram fosters positive community, spiritual practice, and a return to natural living. It is a place for healing, happiness, and reconnecting with essential purity. "All 24 hours and in every direction, we are very clean, with no chemicals inside. This is very much our heritage, our health." "In every country, for all people, there must be yoga in daily life.

Service requires meticulous care for both instruments and integrity in charitable work. Broadcasting teachings globally necessitates translation technology, allowing many languages to be accessed. Instruments are sensitive and require dedicated, skilled persons for maintenance to ensure longevity. Financial support for aid is managed with strict transparency; funds are distributed through formal channels solely for their designated purposes, such as supporting children orphaned by pandemic. This principled approach ensures honesty in all actions, extending care to humans, animals, and the natural world. Work proceeds with clarity, without impropriety. "The instruments are very, very sensitive. That is very, very important. Then they will last for long years." "We never do anything improper. We are very, very, very clear and good."

Food is God, and eating is a sacred, sensory communion. Eating is not merely filling the stomach; it is receiving nourishment that pleases the eyes and reaches every part of the body. We should eat with our hands to truly taste, connecting like a mother feeding her child. Always wash hands before and after. Food is God; we are receiving it. Do not eat quickly. Chew each bite at least twenty-five times to know its true taste, allowing the stomach to prepare. The smell alone triggers digestion. Many have forgotten to pray before eating. We must eat peacefully and well, without talking excessively. Animals do not chew; humans must. Pure nourishment is our real medicine. Eat good food, but not too much. The taste and hormones come from the mouth. Eat first, then talk. "Food is God. We say: food is God. We are taking the food; we are not just eating it." "If you eat the meat, then eat only meat. You are eating ice cream, coffee, chai, this, that, chapatis, and meat... Then you are not a human." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A prāṇāyāma technique is given. Perform twenty-five inhalations and exhalations through the left nostril. Then perform twenty-five through the right nostril, breathing a little more deeply. Rest briefly. Then practice alternate-nostril breathing. Inhale through the left and exhale through the right for five cycles. Then inhale through the right and exhale through the left for twenty-five cycles. Rest. Next, perform ten cycles of inhaling left and exhaling right, followed by ten cycles of inhaling right and exhaling left. Upon completion, lie down. Afterwards, sit in Vajrāsana and perform the Brahmrī technique seven times. Chant "Om" five times from the navel. "All that you are practicing about this anuloma, viloma, all practicing through the nostrils, left, right, everything." "Chant 'Om' five times from the navel, leaving a deep breath."

Life is governed by the natural order of the moon, sun, and water. The moon's movement directly influences our inner being and balances the Earth. Water is life itself, essential for all beings and the land. Modern interference with natural rhythms causes suffering. Changing clocks disrupts animals and human practices. Consuming fruits from opposing climates introduces conflicting energies and can cause illness. Aligning with natural cycles is crucial for health and harmony. The Guru's grace is the essential guide on this path. "Life is very connected to the moon." "Water is life. Life is water." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sādhanā is a universal path requiring sincere practice, not mere labels. It is not only for sannyāsīs, as many become lazy, claiming greatness from their robes alone. True sannyāsīs serve the Guru and others. Householders, like farmers who work while repeating mantras, are also great sādhus, sustaining life through selfless giving. Modern life, with its chemicals and weak foods, has strayed from a natural, healthy existence rooted in the earth. Our practice is not just āsana; it involves living rightly, not taking too much from Mother Earth, and calming the inner waves of disturbance. All energies and chakras lie within. Practice depends on your own effort, not status. Satsaṅg provides the power to proceed. The goal is to become calm and unified. "All sādhanās we are doing are only the path. But Guru Seva means the final step on the path." "If you are a sannyāsī, then work hard, walk with your feet, give something." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The essence of all spiritual paths is one, though names and forms differ. In this age, humanity knows of conflict and war, yet the unifying difference now is spirituality. Whether called yoga, prayer, or meditation, the core is the same. Languages and nations vary, but the human essence and the teachings are one. Various centers and temples bear different names, just as children in a village each receive a unique name, yet all are human. One should not claim exclusivity for a single path or teacher. Many beautiful trees exist in many forests; all share in oneness. The physical body is transient, but the name based on one's deeds endures. We must welcome all, respecting every guest and tradition as part of the same human family. True yoga is not merely physical exercise but the prāṇa and spirit within. The name is immortal, while the form is not. "One in all and all in one." "The name is immortal. The body is not immortal." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Surrender to the guru is the path to grace, and stories are vessels for truth. We are not the doer; all action belongs to the guru. We surrender our capacity at the holy feet. An object, like carved stone, is transformed through consecration and placement upon the altar; it becomes divine through worship. Offer what you can from inner devotion. The guru's grace precedes our birth, and there are many true gurus. Do not judge them. A story was told of a poor man who asked a great sage four questions but was given only three answers for others' problems. By selflessly conveying the solutions—which revealed treasure and led to a marriage—his own poverty was resolved. Your word has power; speak with care, for what you declare takes form. Truth resides within, and a story is that inner store of experience. Learn through crafting tales from your own life. "First, give your answers. And he said, 'Only three questions.' And these three were the answer for your fourth." "The story is in you. So every day before going to sleep, have a story for yourself." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The soul's journey and the true purpose of yoga extend beyond physical exercise. We are more than this temporary body. The soul, the ātmā, is our essence. After death, it leaves the body like the wind, unseen and untouchable. Its destination is unknown; it does not remain as a ghost in trees. Our physical suffering may relate to past actions, but we should be good to all. Yoga in daily life is for holistic well-being, yet its ultimate aim is spiritual, guiding the soul. The soul may merge like a drop into the vast ocean. Do not fear death or unseen phenomena. We are all interconnected here and now. "One in all and all in one; we are all one and all He." "Yoga in daily life. We practice every day for the good of our body and our well-being." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The bhajan reveals the nature of Amṛta, the nectar of light. Understanding is knowing Amṛta, which is liberation. Amṛta is the sweetest honey, an ocean of pure light. The Supreme is the great giver, Mahādānī, radiating this nectar everywhere. The immortal story echoes across the world. Only the guru's grace can grant this. Offering food to the divine makes it prasād, which is amṛt. Take little, give more to others. Touch food with impure hands and negative energy spreads. A guru once received a precious offering and immediately gave it to a poor person, showing oneness. The bhajan calls to the satguru to awaken from the darkness of ignorance. Seekers plead for the guru's presence to fulfill their wishes. See sweetness in all beings and places. The guru's blessings are eternal and ever-present. The guru's words, warmth, and love remain forever. The essence is guru's grace alone, without which nothing is attained. This grace transforms even unhappiness into divine purpose.

The grace of simple things is found in nature's gifts. The cow provides profound benefits. Its milk, urine, and dung serve as powerful medicines and fertilizer. Contact with cows can heal bodily diseases. Their presence purifies an environment, dispelling negative energies. Similarly, the horse is a holy being with protective qualities. Our relationship to food defines our purity. Ancient staples like rice cooked in milk as khīr are sacred and healthy. Processing removes nutrients. One must understand the potency of spices like saffron. Eating fresh food together as a family is vital. Do not consume old leftovers or slaughtered meat, which is a dead body. Killing for food creates impurity. Historical figures like Buddha, who embodied perfect knowledge, practiced non-violence and never ate meat. Fasting periodically, eating less, and aligning meals with nature's rhythm are keys to health. Modern habits of overconsumption and waste destroy the earth. "Where the cow is, there is no ghost." "You are all Buddha because you have perfect knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The spirit of the ashram is one of shared welcome and inner reflection. This is a holy, divine place offering an unbelievable feeling in the heart and mind. Anyone who comes is welcome as a child of the mother and father. The atmosphere is beautiful, with trees, lakes, and a temple. It is not my ashram nor your ashram; it belongs to everyone. Life is given by God and will finish, so we must think within ourselves. The principle is to give, not only to take. When you are a sādhu, you have given everything. All who come should be provided food, water, and shelter. The practice involves āsanas and meditation, but above that is the inner life. We must be humble and serve, like washing the feet of disciples. We will all die, so possess nothing. "Anyone comes, give water." "This is neither my ashram nor your ashram."

A vision for expanding authentic yoga teaching rooted in spiritual conduct. The practice must reach every village and country, requiring many teachers. Authentic yoga is spiritual, distinct from secular institutions. A true yoga university prohibits substances like meat and alcohol. Learn quickly to obtain a proper certificate. Teachers will be given freedom, but not license; control remains to preserve integrity. The work is to connect all places under this umbrella. The aim is to teach properly, with care, as one in all and all in one. "Yogīs have given the yoga teachers; that is the reality." "Freedom does not mean that now you will go and do everything. No. One in all, and all in one." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The name given at birth should align with the celestial constellation present at that moment. The moment of birth is defined when the child touches the earth. The sun and moon are primary, but all nine celestial bodies determine the constellation. This constellation dictates the first letter of the name, which is crucial for well-being. The specific language or full name is secondary; the foundational first letter must correspond. This is a cosmic science upheld by tradition. Neglecting this alignment is why problems arise. We are individual drops, but together we form a great river in service. The guru and disciple become one through this understanding. "The first letter name should go." "Take your name according to the constellation." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The divine is found in daily life, relationships, and our own hearts. We must offer positive words to the Earth and all life. The mantra and ceremonies are for complete purification of body and mind. Marriage is a profound union, yet often leads to strife because it is entered without proper prayer and discernment. Girls pray to trees for harmonious husbands, while boys are less expressive. Parents traditionally seek good matches through astrology and family lineage, though modern practices like dowries create problems. Governments try to regulate marriage finances, but new issues arise. True married life should be peaceful and helpful, becoming like mother and father. We must serve our parents and love our children. I have not seen God with my eyes. God is in our heart. Our mother, father, and Gurujī are our God. Every being has God within. To feel God, cultivate pure qualities, give freedom, and avoid causing suffering. Do not judge others' practices like diet. Protect those who are suffering. Life, trees, and the Earth are divine. We may find God in all things. "God is in our heart. You all have God." "Something is born is already God. That’s very important to know." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The primordial sound is the supreme reality, manifesting as form and pervading all creation. This sound, emerging first from the cosmic ocean, is eternal and present in every age through divine manifestations. All beings, from humans to trees and insects, contain this inner sound, which is their connection to the divine source. The Earth is the universal mother, unconditionally nurturing all her children. One must cultivate a direct relationship with her by touching clean soil and keeping earth in the home. Physical connection to the mother, such as sitting directly on the ground, balances the body's energies and prepares one for meditation. The mother's love is the foundation of life, knowledge, and family harmony, reflecting the inseparable unity of the divine masculine and feminine principles. "Nāda rūpa parabrahma. That sound is God." "Mother Earth said, 'My child, don’t touch me.' I will be completely burned." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Great ṛṣis and saints exist unseen, protecting humanity. These perfected beings are present globally, often hidden in remote places like glaciers or deserts. They communicate mind-to-mind and possess profound knowledge. While invisible, their protective energy shields us. Historical accounts, like a photo of a meditating ascetic under a glacier, attest to their existence. Their influence spans eras and continents, with cultural connections found worldwide, such as Hanumān statues in Mexico. We live in a time where negative forces are strong, but these ṛṣis counteract them with their radiant energy. True spirituality recognizes the divine in all traditions without criticism. Judging others as "good" or "bad" primarily reflects our own inner state. A spiritual master, like a surgeon, works to cleanse our inner impurities without rejection. Our nature is to help, just as a scorpion's nature is to sting. "There are very great ṛṣis, saints. They are protecting us." "His nature is to sting, and my nature is to bring him out and leave him."

Guru Pūrṇimā is a spiritual new year, marking when the light of wisdom first touched the earth. This festival is for understanding the Guru Tattva, the principle of the teacher. Spirituality requires understanding, not just belief; one must ask "why." The guru is that which dispels ignorance, the "aha" of realization. This principle exists in many forms, like fire exists in many flames. It is not confined to a single body but is the precious consciousness within it. Physical proximity is not necessary; connection is a matter of heart and mind. The challenge is to endure on the path beyond initial inspiration, to continue steadfastly like the turtle. The goal is to absorb and preserve the divine energy received, becoming saturated by it like a wooden spoon in honey. The paramount spiritual connection is the lineage, the paramparā. The Guru Tattva itself is the highest principle. "Guru Tattva is, I always joke, something like an 'aha!' phenomenon." "Only when our heart and our brain are in harmony will our life be successful."

The language of oneness transcends spoken words. Many scriptures and languages exist, yet spirituality reveals a universal oneness. We learn through gaze and feeling, not just vocabulary. The best language is understood by all, like music or song, where sound vibration creates unity. We do not know God's name or voice, but in our heart, all humans know there is some God. Even saying "no God" speaks to that understanding. Language is only the outer side; the feeling is the true language. When words fail, we understand through hands, eyes, and silence. From life's mixture, we seek purity and oneness. In a hall, a little stone can represent the silence that unites us. This silentness is oneness. In contrast, a noisy festival is different. You are happy and need nothing. "The best language is when people from many countries, each with their own language, suddenly all understand." "In our heart, all humans know there is some God."

Our path is one of unity, transcending all borders and differences. This gathering is an international family, interconnected like branches of a single tree. A seed grows into a tree that bears fruit for all. Yet, a single drop of lemon can split milk, just as one divisive person can disrupt harmony. Unity is the foundation. Travel reveals that good people and traditions exist everywhere, though appearances differ. Our shared spiritual practice and teachings fill every cell of our being. We must respect all paths while remaining steadfast in our own, free from attachment. The work of dedicated disciples across the world sustains this growth. "One in all and all in one." "Attachment should never be." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path of sannyāsa in this age requires work and self-reliance. It is not an easy life of dependence. One must labor, perhaps in a garden or farm, to generate funds for personal security, such as for medical care or old age. This work also serves the collective good. True sannyāsīs should not be like those who merely sit and do nothing; they must practice sādhanā and contribute harmoniously. The necessary financial support comes from the dedicated work of all disciples. The global mission expands through such sincere service, bringing peace and yoga to many lands. "Even if you are a sannyāsī, you have to work. Anything can happen—you might have an accident and need to go to the hospital." "We do very good for all, not only for ourselves or for our families, but for everyone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A temple is built day by day, stone by stone through shared contribution, creating a timeless legacy. What is done in life remains; what is not done vanishes. We celebrate the completion of a unique Yajña Śālā, thanking all who contributed. The work was hard, but the result serves all. Credit and divine mercy belong to everyone collectively. "Day by day, stone by stone. We will also do it one by one." "The name remains, not the body. What we have not done vanishes like dust." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Grace manifests through the living Master. A personal journey from illness to healing began with a yoga class discovered by following the heart. This led to a community where humble service and devotional singing created a profound first impression. The living Master's work has grown into a vast tree whose seeds are the disciples. Each person must become a living example of love and tolerance, spreading the message as a healing medicine for the world. Inner peace realized within contributes to global healing. The presence of the living Master is essential to cross the ocean of illusion. This gathering reaffirms the good fortune of being connected to this lineage and light. "Every one of us should be an example: an example in love, in understanding, in respect, in tolerance." "Without a living master, without this presence of that light, without a real fire, how will we make a fire of our candle, of our flame?" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Sannyāsa Dīkṣā ceremony on Guru Pūrṇimā unfolds through ritual offerings, prayers, and vows of renunciation. A flower is handed to the initiate with instruction to put it in the fire. An assistant guides, “Give it in his hand, with dakṣiṇā, kuś.” The initiate prays for forgiveness of sins and attainment of pure devotion at the Sadguru’s feet. The seeker addresses the Guru, wishing to receive Guru Dīkṣā and lead a sannyāsa life of God’s austerity. Someone prompts to speak the full name if unknown to the Guru, and to place oneself at the Guru’s feet. The seeker pleads for sannyāsa initiation and asks for the prayer to be explained once more. English guidance follows: “Say that today I give everything, I make sannyās, I separate from mother and father, and I know today I give everything.” The initiate declares, “Now I am a Sannyāsī, my name is Swāmī Gyāneśwar Purī from the Czech Republic.” The phrase “Aftam Burujit Om Śānti” is repeated, then “So you will get it.” The Guru places a coconut, gives sādhanā, and says, “Today I give you this sādhanā, and you, my śiṣya.” Rice is sprinkled on the head little by little, three times. Attendants state that Dīkṣā is given for devotion at the feet of Paramātmā. The mantra question “Dī banā diyā, kyā mantra terā” is answered: “Oṁ Sohaṁ Śrī Deva Puruṣa Mahādevāya Namaḥ.” Discussing dakṣiṇā, the initiate has no cash but will give later from his office; 1500 rupees to the paṇḍits. For the final fire offering, the initiate stands, puts both hands in, and throws the offering when signaled. The ceremony ends with victory shouts: “Bhana Kī Jai... Śrīdīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai!” “Abhī jo bhī vyakti hai, wo āpse prārthanā kareṅge, ke mai is jīvan ke aṅdar jitne bhī pāp karmoṁ hue haiṁ, pāp karmoṁ kī nistār ke liye, aur Sadguru ke caraṇoṁ meṁ akhaṇḍa nirmal bhaktī kī prāpti ke liye.” “My mantra, ‘Oṁ Sohaṁ Śrī Deva Puruṣa Mahādevāya Namaḥ.’” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is one universal path originating from the divine. Many great masters have taught it under different names and forms, yet all lead to the same goal. The essence is not merely physical exercise or intellectual knowledge but a journey toward the cosmic Self. All traditions and teachers who bring peace and harmony are valid. Human differences in appearance, thought, or tradition are natural, but the underlying unity is fundamental. The practice requires internal purification of the mind, not just discussion. Techniques like neti and dhoti are practical means for this cleansing. Dedication and surrender make everything possible on this path. "Everyone's yoga is good." "Dirty water has to be purified. This means we should remain in yoga and purify our mind." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The sādhanā of purification prepares one for the bridge built by the Divine Name. Guru Pūrṇimā is the supreme celebration, drawing all disciples to the Guru's presence. Preparations involve both spiritual practice and physical service. Human knowledge is limited, confined mostly to Aparāvidyā, not the highest Parāvidyā. The fundamental drive is the fear of death, prompting the longing for liberation. Sādhanā is an internal Kumbh Melā, a difficult gathering where one's latent qualities surface for purification. This process, often arduous, ultimately brings lightness and change. The earth is a karmabhūmi, a field for action, where one cannot remain inactive. The mantra, the Divine Name received from the Guru, is the ultimate protection and support, greater than the person. "The name will remain, but the person will go." "Wherever your name is written, it will never go down." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The divine principle delights in and accepts the imperfect heart, bestowing grace, refuge, and the nectar of Samādhi. This supreme reality is described as compassionate, without malice, and the embodiment of equal vision that removes sorrow. It is the primordial cause, the giver of true discernment, and the destroyer of falsehood and pride. The message of the true Guru brings bliss and delight to the heart. One is instructed to remain fearless, to hold a doctrine without enmity, and to understand the ultimate truth of no coming or going. All are seen as beautiful from a perspective of non-attachment. "You delight in this faulty heart." "He is the giver of the ultimate refuge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The transmission of spiritual knowledge and the foundational role of the family are essential. Knowledge is absorbed gradually, not in a single day, as illustrated by the yearly progression in school. Śaṅkarācārya established a great path of knowledge that many follow. There are two kinds of knowledge: external learning and the inner knowledge received from a guide. This knowledge must be passed on. The primary teachers are the mother and father; all other education stems from this foundation. The mother tongue imparts deep, lasting understanding. Modern separation of families is detrimental; one should strive to remain close to parents. Lifelong learning from parents and spiritual practice continues until the soul departs. Ultimately, all beings return to the one God. "Learning is not for one day; it is for a whole year." "Mother-father's knowledge, lifelong techniques—and of course there are many techniques."

Practice is essential, and grace is fundamental. Your spiritual practice is vital. If you claim no time for practice, you claim no time for eating. Food is crucial for all beings, yet we are not the providers. God provides. He determines the rains and the harvests. That unseen force cares for all. Do not be proud, for you achieve nothing alone. Different names for the divine are good. We must love all creatures. Our visible practice is one aspect; the other is inner contemplation. All beings, even elements, contain the divine essence. Life is temporary. We strive for oneness, peace, and harmony. Our actions accumulate, but the final outcome is uncertain. We must pray, do good for all, and cleanse negativity. The cycle of time, like the moon's phases, continues. Be happy, live with joy, and be good to all. "If you have no time to practice yoga or anything, then it means you also have no time for eating." "We are ātmā, the soul, for everyone. How many animals, etc.? Fire also, water also, earth also—every second." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
