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 good bhajan will come with the bhajan." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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. There must not be yoga." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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. "Prakāśa puñja amṛta ke sāgara, Śrī Dīpa Hari Mahādānī, sāre viśva meṁ guñja rahā, Prabhu kī amara kahānī." "Guru Kṛpā he kevalam." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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."

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."

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

The practice of Ānanda Āsana follows demanding yoga and meditation. Lie down and relax the whole body completely. Ānanda means to hold peace and all that is good. The exercise involves rolling from front to back like a walking child. It includes postures like Halāsana, holding the body straight with legs up. It proceeds to Dhanurāsana, stretching like an arrow. Finally, relax on the stomach or side. Human life involves the desire for happiness, the fear of illness and death, and the recognition that life is enough. We are all on the same path, not knowing who will depart first. Blessings for peace and oneness are offered. "Ānanda means hold best, hold peaceful, hold everything that is good." "We are human, we have three meanings: we want to be very happy. Second, we are very ill and afraid to die, and third is life, which is enough." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The living guru is found within, through the inner path of authentic meditation. Many learn external techniques, gazing at oceans or horizons, but real meditation is an inward journey. The inner self contains all instruments, like a pilot guides a great aircraft. Both yogic science and modern medicine have value; one should remain neutral, using each appropriately. True spiritual knowledge, like that in the Bhagavad Gītā, is universal and unchanging. Techniques such as Kriya require serious, long-term practice and personal purity. A guru manifests as a living presence in the world, like successive sunrises and their rays. Life progresses through stages of learning, working, and ultimately becoming a guide for all, seeing everyone as family. "Meditation is within. But how? And that is, who is really the best?" "Therefore, never try to give this teaching. But for long years you were practicing, then that teacher can also teach you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The forest is an ideal setting for sādhanā, offering oxygen, peace, and natural beauty. Practice here with eyes closed to avoid distraction. Sit comfortably with your mālā and guru mantra. Recall the day you received the mantra and your progress since. The sounds of wind, trees, and birds support inner focus. Complete your mālā and then practice specific breathing techniques. Focus on alternate nostril breathing as instructed, followed by Brahmari prānāyāma. Conclude with stillness and a closing prayer. "When you are sleeping under the trees, the tree tells you, 'Wake up.'" "Forget all different kinds of things in the family, or in the city, or in work. You are yourself, with all."

Yoga in daily life reveals the oneness of all existence. The bhajan given originates from Mahāprabhujī, addressed to Guru Dev, expressing a journey to a world without problems. Bhajans come from the heart of saints, in many languages. There are countless chakras in the body, especially at joints, from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra, each holding great knowledge. Energy moves through these points, seen in the quick fingers of musicians. Chakras exist everywhere on earth, like a serpent moving. The knee joint contains a powerful chakra, which weakens without care. Each chakra associates with animals and deities: Śiva-Śakti, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Lakṣmī. Trees also have joints and energy; we draw from them. The eyes are precious, perceiving color and distance, shared by animals and trees. The voice travels far; bodily care and proper eating are vital. In Kali Yuga, be good, give freedom, like a child returning to its mother. At sunset, animals and birds return to their nest. Keep your nest clear and return to it. Opening your eyes, you see the whole world and become one with it. Your life is my life, and my life is your life. The mother’s stomach nourishes all, home is where the heart resides, and yoga in daily life is oneness: all in one and one in all. “O Gurudev, let me go to that world where there is no coming, no problems.” “My life is your life, and your life is my life, and we all in oneness we will come.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A story illustrates human kindness and the universal essence of yoga. A medical situation in India prompted an immediate and coordinated response from contacts in Austria, arranging care and transport. This demonstrated a system where care is provided without discrimination, solely based on shared humanity. The event highlights a principle: we must take care of humans. The current age, Kali Yuga, is marked by division and the ego's declaration of "I am the best." Yoga is the means to cleanse the mind, and it is for all life, not any single country or religion. Yogic postures are inspired by nature—trees and animals. We cannot correct others, only ourselves. The correction begins by affirming "I am human" and recognizing our connection to all. "Yoga is life, for the whole earth." "There was no one word, religion, in Satyuga, Dvāparayuga, Tretāyuga." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The little dog’s enlightenment reveals the ego trap in karma yoga and leads to the four aims of human life. A story tells of a family traveling by ox cart with a small dog running behind. The dog slips under the cart into the shade, running there but growing angry, believing it carries the entire weight. It decides to stop, sits down, and the cart simply moves on without it. That brings a kind of enlightenment: everything continues perfectly well without oneself. So when thanked for seva, the response “It’s my pleasure” is genuine—karma yoga is a blessing, not a burden. A bhajan by the saint Āchal Rāmjī declares that without work, nothing is achieved. The real name of God is hard work; through it one attains perfection. All saints and scriptures affirm this. The bhajan describes four puruṣārthas every human should reach. First is dharma: to fulfill the dharma of one’s roles—mother, father, disciple, teacher. Failing dharma becomes karma. Second is artha: acquiring wealth to be independent and give back. Third is kāma: relational and emotional fulfillment, bringing contentment to support others. Fourth is mukti, liberation, granted by the guru’s grace. An example: two cows are tied, one with iron chains, the other with golden—both are bondage. Whether clinging to pleasure or suffering, the chain holds the same. Only niṣkāma karma and guru’s grace bring mokṣa. To attain these four requires tremendous effort; time rushes on, and wasting it is a grave mistake. “Without work, nothing is achieved in this world. The real name of God is hard work.” “It does not matter whether the chain is golden or of iron—the bondage is the same.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The spiritual path requires a foundation and guidance, not premature independence. A seed must grow through stages into a tree that bears fruit. One must become established for years, gaining proper understanding and certification. The practice extends beyond physical exercise to ethical living. A core principle is non-violence: do not kill animals or consume flesh and blood. Many are awakening to this, supported by evidence like medical professionals thriving on vegetarian diets. The focus is on human principles, not religious debate. Live as a fruitful tree, spreading wellness from a stable base. "Your passport is not valid for all countries; we have permission to go only to certain places with it." "We should not drink the blood of others nor consume the flesh of another."

A morning ritual establishes purity and presence for the day. Upon waking, declare your human consciousness. Step from bed with reverence for Mother Earth. Begin with pure water, holding it in your palms to acknowledge the divine within it. Apply water to the face five times for physical, mental, and spiritual cleansing. Drink the water, feeling it purify your system, dedicating your life to the divine. The first sight upon waking should be a sacred image or a pure element of nature, setting a harmonious tone. This practice cleanses the residues of night and anger, fostering inner peace that is independent of external events. True yoga is this integrated awareness in every action, recognizing that happiness and unhappiness originate within. "Where there is water, there is God." "Happiness and unhappiness are all within ourselves, not from others at all." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

This sacred land is a place of profound purification and spiritual nourishment. The atmosphere here is healing and illuminated by the presence of the gurus. The environment is rare, drawing people from many countries for its peace and harmony. Working with the earth through karma yoga purifies everything. The organic produce acts as medicine for energy. This gathering coincides with Guru Pūrṇimā, a time for blessings. Whether present physically or listening from afar, one can participate in meditation and pūjā. "Everything is done by that karma." "Come, because staying here is a great purification." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path of spiritual discipline requires the guru's grace and careful practice. Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna is a potent practice that must be preserved and not given improperly. Many who received it without true devotion later left and set themselves up as masters, losing everything. To receive the guru's grace is not easy; becoming a disciple is difficult. The spiritual path is like carrying a single flame through a strong wind on a dark night, or like walking on a sharp knife with dangers on both sides. Even divine figures like Kṛṣṇa and Jesus walked such a path. Sādhanā itself is that knife, requiring us to be peaceful, harmonious, and balanced. Just as a doctor must perform a heart operation himself and cannot delegate it, only a genuine guru from the paramparā can hold and transmit the Kriyā Śakti. You may have the practice, but do not think to give it to others. Yoga is more than āsanas; there are many sādhanās. What you have been given, you must handle correctly. Your real essence is what matters. "On the day you give up Guru Kṛpā, all sādhanā will be gone." "Only that one who could. This is also like a spiritual path."
