Attachment, detachment, and the awakened soul are illuminated through Mahāprabhujī’s Yoga Nidrā Bhajan. Great saints and gurus do not sleep; their awareness remains constant. Mahāprabhujī’s bhajan teaches yoga nidrā: lying down with wakeful awareness. The breath continues; the body relaxes while awareness embraces all beings equally. The Guru belongs to everyone, like each cell nurturing the whole body. The soul is always awake, yet subtle channels and feelings create bondage. Attachment to objects, trees, animals, and family constitutes saṃsāra. A cherry tree’s blossoms and fruits exemplify growing attachment through observation. A person who gives up everything, even death ceremonies, tests the path of niradhārī. Attachment persists like a mother’s memory, binding generations. Physical yoga benefits body and mind but does not release deep attachment. The sense of being great reinforces attachment. Only yogis can attain the state described in the bhajan. In yoga nidrā, snoring may occur, yet some remain aware, and the master perceives awakening. The soul, like a caged parrot with clipped wings, is bound by attachment to duality. Yoga is freedom to the indwelling God; otherwise, suffering and rebirth continue. Slowly, one moves from attachment to detachment. “It is like a parrot in a cage; sometimes it looks out at other birds flying free.” “I am not yours. Why? Because I am yours—for everyone, like each and every cell in the body.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sādhanā is the disciplined practice for self-realization, affecting one's entire lineage. Time dedicated to personal development is invaluable and cannot be bought. This practice requires withdrawing the senses and making the mind peaceful to see what is stored within the unconscious. A strict, traditional anuṣṭhāna with fasting and silence is challenging but necessary to profoundly affect one's reality. The true practice is integrating awareness into every smallest action of daily life. Maintaining a harmonious mind regardless of external circumstances is the hardest and best practice. Everything consumed—food, drink, and air—directly shapes the body, mind, and energy. Impurities in nourishment or blockages in prāṇa flow, such as from synthetic clothing, create physical and energetic disharmony. Liberation is an incremental process built through daily discipline, not a sudden event. "Swāmījī said one thing: the hardest abhyāsa and the best abhyāsa is to keep your mind always in a happy, harmonized state." "If one in your paramparā gets this self-realization, then seven generations after you and seven generations before you, they get liberated." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Adopt the way of the tree to become free from worldly cares. The tree gives fruit to all without hatred or adoration, enduring storms, frost, and heat while providing shelter. Likewise, attain an unceasing state by lovingly meditating on the Lord and continually repeating His divine name for salvation. Let His feet remain in your heart to find the nectar of devotion. We are not the doers; the Supreme is the sole agent. All action, from birth until the last breath, is given by that One. We must be humble, peaceful, and happy, recognizing we are like children or a bird that must stay on the boat, the path, and not fly off alone. "To those who hurl stones with force, it yields fruits with no touch of remorse." "Nāhaṁ kartā, I am not the doer." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The inner pilot is the consciousness that must master the body and mind. The body is like an aeroplane carrying many elements; the pilot resides between the eyebrows, guiding concentration to the crown. Mastery requires flying alone, relying solely on inner instruments. The essential power lies in the spinal channel, the Vajranāḍī, which governs the entire system. Without controlling this, nothing is achieved. External practices and powers are demonstrated, like sitting in fire, but these are not the core. True yoga is not merely postures; it is becoming the Brahman through inner control. This path is not easy and demands unwavering inner strength. "The pilot resides between our eyebrows. From there, concentration goes directly to the Sahasrāra Chakra." "If the Vajranāḍī is not controlled, nothing else matters; whatever you do is nothing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The oneness of earth, breath, and self is realized through connection and purification. Connect to Mother Earth with your palms, feeling the love and support. You walk upon her, a child of the earth. Practice breath, inhaling through the nostrils and exhaling through the mouth for purification. The prāṇa, the life force, unites everything. The entire universe, including the cosmic Self, is within you. You need not search elsewhere. All five vital energies are within the body. Keep the body comfortable and full of respect, for the whole being enjoys this connection. Feel the oneness of Mother Earth and the cosmic expanse. "One in all, all in one." "Everything is in me. The whole space is touching the earth." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The origin of life and the path of dharma are revealed through ancient wisdom. In the beginning, there was only water. The gods decided to create the earth, which was brought forth from the ocean. Life emerged from the waters, with creatures evolving and moving onto land. The principle of existence was established: all living beings sustain themselves by consuming other life. This is the natural law. From this state, humans were created. With humanity came the knowledge of dharma and adharma. Dharma is to live spiritually, to care for all and avoid killing. Adharma is to live like animals, consuming without conscience, which bars the path to the divine. The human form and consciousness ultimately originate from the divine source, symbolized by the navel of Vishnu and the emerging lotus. One must not depend on others but become self-reliant, as God provides everything. Practice sādhanā, see all as equal, and live without harming others. Consider the impact of your consumption and actions on the world. "Jīv, jīv, bhakṣate: all living life, they are eating each other." "Dharma is spirituality and good, not killing anyone. Take care of everyone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Karma and destiny are unchangeable by any being, yet the Guru's grace can alter one's path. Karma accumulates over many lifetimes. Selfless service is its true basis. No individual, regardless of power, can change ordained destiny. The story of a powerful figure illustrates this. He controlled gods and elements but could not command the divine scribe of fate. This scribe writes every being's destiny before birth. The figure demanded a glorious destiny for his child. The scribe wrote what was ordained, not what was demanded. The resulting destiny manifested perfectly, contrary to all desires and power. This demonstrates that written destiny is final. However, the true Guru possesses the grace to change what is written. This power comes from the lineage, not the individual. Do not despair over destiny. The Guru's grace can rewrite it. "Karma is only then if we have Seva." "Guru can change nobody. Guru can change Abhagama." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The essence of yoga and spiritual life is found in the ancient Gurukul system, not merely in physical exercise. Sixty years ago, yoga was deeply spiritual, practiced by great saints and ascetics. Jain and Buddhist traditions exemplify this purity through strict non-violence, meditation, and simple living. Ancient Indian universities like Nalanda were vast centers of spiritual knowledge, later destroyed. The true Gurukul is not a historical building but the living presence of the Master. Disciples receive knowledge and support the Master's mission, creating a global spiritual family. This system provides a foundation of ethics, compassion, and progressive growth that common yoga schools lack. Every step on this path reduces suffering and increases bliss. "Yoga was then very spiritual, pure, and so on. And all yogīs, sādhus, and other people were filled with yoga." "I am myself Gurukul." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The present moment is the only reality. The past is completely gone and holds nothing for us now. The future remains unknown and is not within our control. Therefore, dwelling on what has been or what might be is unnecessary. We are here, now, in this holy place where many have gathered and many saints have walked. Our focus must be on being peaceful, alert, and harmonious in this instant. Life is meant to be lived softly and sweetly, in oneness with all, without creating hardness or bitterness. Love and care for the body is the first step, practicing with comfort and adaptability rather than rigid torture. This present awareness and good practice is our lifelong sādhanā. "The past is past. Even the very beginning of one second is already gone." "Life becomes soft. And the soft is so tasteful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Pure nourishment is essential for spiritual and physical health. Traditional foods and methods are superior. Begin meals with natural sweets like cane sugar or jaggery for good digestion. Consume a variety of raw nuts, prepared by hand to preserve oils. Pure ghee from specific cows is highly beneficial. For expectant mothers, special organic foods ensure a strong child and mother. Modern processed foods and hospital practices are inadequate. Manuka honey is recommended for its purity. Eating meat creates karmic debt, requiring rebirth as those animals. Adopt a clean, vegetarian diet for one year with practices like Śaṅkaprakṣālana to purify the body. This clarity leads to health and spiritual progress.

Spiritual knowledge transmits through an unbroken chain of generations. Children sit peacefully, watching with focus. Their calm comes from parental teachings and ancestral yoga practice. Knowledge flows in their blood, fostering healthy impulses. Even toddlers perform Bārikhāṭu Praṇām correctly on yoga mats. This demonstrates wisdom passed from parents and grandparents. Yoga in Daily Life, not a religion, spans five generations here. The Līlāmṛt chronicles the lineage from Alakhpurījī to Devpurījī. Holy books offer eternal knowledge, revealing new insights each reading. Such books are living scriptures, not fleeting news. Ancestral wisdom must endure despite worldly upheavals. Libraries like Nālandā University’s with nine million manuscripts were burned. Yet truth resurfaces through memory and family narratives. Trust in the divine; what is destined for you arrives. God sustains all beings, from the smallest to the greatest. Preserve your guiding principles and heritage. Spiritual seeds grow into vast trees, continuing the lineage. "It is said that we do not know where this one seed will eventually start its roots and grow into an unbelievable tree." "From the elephant to the little ant, the feeder is God."

The Guru is the supreme principle, the complete source of all knowledge and the path. The Guru is above Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. This principle manifests in many forms. Anyone who imparts knowledge is a guru, from parents to teachers. The true Satguru does not proclaim the title; it is recognized. The lineage flows from Śiva through successive teachers. A successor is given the duty, chair, and staff to serve all impartially. Renunciation means leaving family attachment to serve everyone equally. The Guru's guidance is a key; discarding it leads one astray. The full moon of Guru Pūrṇimā symbolizes this completeness. One worships the Guru principle, which remains present beyond the physical form. The duty is to help all who come near. "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt Para Brahma." "The duty is to accept, respect, and give all who come near everything that they need." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Karma connects all life, seen and unseen. It is not only for humans but for every creature, tree, and stone. Our actions and experiences are intertwined through karmic bonds we may not understand. A creature dies suddenly on the road; we feel a connection. A tree lives for thousands of years, rooted through seasons, yet its leaves scatter on the wind, and its life can end from unseen forces within, like insects drawn by piled bark. Even a stone has life, becoming dust, then part of a body again. Time is nothing, yet it brings all things. Therefore, we must act with goodness. Do not give negativity; bring good again. Help others, as one man helped a beaten stranger. We should not fight or speak ill, for we are human. All life—trees, animals, grass—is our mother and father, giving us sustenance. We must protect it, not needlessly destroy. Our current way, cutting vast forests for profit, shows humans are not good. Yet, we can choose differently. Do good for all. "Karma is in everything." "Time is nothing, time is nothing. Wait, wait, but it means that time comes." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We are here under these ancient trees, a place of immense life and energy. The trees provide oxygen, shade, and healing for our eyes and spirit. We are children of the Mother Earth, who sustains us like a mother, her grass a forgiving cloth. Walk barefoot on this clean earth to connect with its energy. Our daily life, from waking to sleeping, should be observed with clarity. Our body is a complete family; the two eyes are sisters who cannot see each other, and the two nostrils are brothers who talk but cannot hear. This understanding guides practices like applying tilak and performing prāṇāyāma. Every part has purpose, like nails as tools. Beauty comes from within. We must not harm the body but enjoy life fully through good food, meditation, and work. Live well, feeling gratitude for everything. "These trees that are here do not push the other trees away. That is very important." "‘Sweet’ means think sweet, speak sweet, look sweet."

Yoga practice following a forest walk restores balance and flexibility. Walking, running, or other exercises create stiffness that yoga removes. Deep breathing while walking fills the lungs with oxygen, aiding heart and lungs. The practice of Bāṛī Khāṭū Praṇām offers greeting to the Guru and the village of Bari Khatu. Begin seated in Vajrāsana, the iron posture, with hands on thighs. Close eyes and visualize the sequence. Inhale, raise arms, clasp hands, and exhale into a forward bend. Stay relaxed in each posture, breathing softly. Do not move quickly; feel the stretch. The spinal column is the central channel, from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra, and stretches align it. Teachers observe and correct the body’s position. Keep elbows straight, heels down, and chest open. The 27 postures work the whole spine, shoulders, and legs. After the sequence, lie on the back and relax completely. This relaxation is called Ānanda. Then stretch, roll, and sit up. “After them, one should do yoga exercises. Then the whole nervous system will be very good, the muscles will become more relaxed, and so will the joints of the body.” “We offer praṇām to Gurujī, praṇām to the city.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Good evening. We had a beautiful day of practice. Tomorrow, you will have a free half-day after breakfast to walk in the forest in groups. Otherwise, do your own exercises. Integrate the lectures and practices into your heart and mind. The trees here give great energy; breathe deeply. The food here contains prāṇa. We should eat food that makes the body healthy, happy, and pure. Our gathering is limited in size, but it allows a relaxed feeling without daily chores. A study was shared involving over 7,000 participants across six countries. It found those on plant-based diets at least one year prior had less severe COVID-19 outcomes. This shows vegetarianism is good for health, the environment, and humanity. True yoga practice includes a vegetarian diet, avoiding alcohol and meat, fostering peace and love for all creatures.

Yoga in daily life awakens one to the Self. On waking, note the nostril with stronger breath. Step out with the left foot if left nostril flows, right foot if right, both together if equal. The first thought: I am human. This means to reflect deeply and do no wrong. Water is God. Splashing the face sends awakening through every nerve. The body is a vehicle; the Ātmā is the driver. Be alert like a pilot. Learn from a guru as from a driving instructor. Sleep has three states: waking, dreaming, deep sleep. Yoga Nidrā includes all three; one listens while sleeping. Come out of unknowing sleep. Practice for one week to see. Yoga is not just āsanas or stretching. It is sādhanā to become jāgrat. We come from earth, live on earth, return to earth. "When we open our eyes, we should think, 'I am human.'" "Yoga in daily life is not just about stretching; we have to become jāgrat." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Devotion manifests through humble service, not through the ego's claim of action. In the story of the bridge, all creatures contributed according to their capacity; the divine's direct intervention sank the stones, teaching that grace flows through surrendered work, not personal ownership. The physical space here is sanctified by the presence of a great guru, whose power remains. His instruction for a shared Guru Pūrṇimā was a direct transmission of grace. The essence of all true teachings is humility and universality. The sun shines for all; possessive identification with "my guru" or "my God" is a limited, human construct. Great beings like Rāma and Jesus exemplified this humility. Spiritual practice aims to merge the individual drop into the ocean of purity, where all impurities are cleansed. The path requires looking beyond immediate obstacles toward the vast horizon of unity. The final test is always compassion, as shown when Yudhiṣṭhira refused heaven without his loyal dog. Our collective sitting in satsaṅg generates this unifying energy, which is the real practice beyond mere technique. "My dear squirrel, my dear squirrel, I love you so much. You also do high work." "If someone gives you a slap on one cheek, you should offer the other also." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The foundation of practice is discipline in diet and lifestyle to support spiritual awakening. Eating lightly in the evening prevents sleepiness during morning meditation. A cold bath generates heat and dispels laziness, while warm water induces comfort and sleep. The primary principle is to eat only half of one's capacity; this promotes health and longevity. Overeating leads to heaviness, disease, and a shortened life. The body generates ample energy from minimal, pure food. The practice of Sarvahitāsana begins with the parents' intention to have a child, requiring purification through sāttvic food for one to two years prior. Parents' pure nourishment and harmonious union invite a holy soul into the embryo. This practice is for the good of all, fostering health from conception onward. Families should rear their own children with this conscious foundation. "Eating half is very good, very healthy, and very good for your life." "Sarvahitāsana begins from when husband and wife, these two couples, want to marry; that time begins for the child." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The one path merges all into the divine ocean. For many months we were not physically together, but through the blessings of Alakhpurījī, Bhagavān Śrī Devpurījī, Aradhi Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, and Sadguru Svāmī Madhavānandajī, we remained healthy and happy. Disciples practiced yoga at home—āsanas, prāṇāyāma, prayers—and many watched via television. Some meditated without mantra or mālā, suddenly lost, not knowing where they are. One deer runs here and there lost; others have the path together. So first know what one is doing—then one gets one path. Many religions have their own traditions, their own mālās and holy names like a mantra. One has to have one path; like many houses in a village are separate families, yet all are one in the village. All are on different paths of some guru, but all must come on their own path. Ultimately, all come to one point where Guru, God, everything comes together. Raindrops fall separately, flow into a creek, then river, then ocean; every creature becomes one, coming from one point and returning to the ocean. The guru is from ages past—Śiva Sat Yuga, Dvāpar Yuga, Tretā Yuga, Kali Yuga; from Śiva to all creatures, all melt into one. Every creature knows its path instinctively—where to put eggs, where to go—God gives this knowing. God gives life and a way; humans are lost and pray, "Please, my Lord, show me my path." That path is within our heart; God is sitting in us, pure like clean water, but we pollute it. Yoga is not only body exercises; postures learned from animals, but the real path comes from the Satguru. The Satguru gives the mantra first, and later the word, the real path, what to do. "One has to have one path." "We say, 'Please, my Lord, show me my path.' And maybe that is only within ourself, in our heart." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The power of Śabda, the divine word, governs life. Śabda is the sound present in all existence—not only speech but birdsong, leaves rustling, water flowing, sand shifting, wind blowing. The same mouth and tongue produce sweet and harsh words from identical energy. A sweet word creates immediate love and connection. A harsh word creates conflict and repulsion. The bhajan teaches: Śabda Sanehī Marījātrā Marīhelī. This Śabda enters every cell of the body. Śabda Sanehī means all close friends, all humans, all beings. Śabda is like an arrow. Good and bad words enter the body as arrows. Harsh words give life a negative direction. Poison in food parallels wrong Śabda. Even the wind is Śabda. Think sweet, peaceful, spiritual words. Control your tongue. In meditation, focus on one dear word. Many sweet words exist to calm the ocean of life. "Śabda is very powerful. If we say some good word—‘Oh, my friend, how are you?’—Śabda has such power that when you utter a sweet word, the other friend says, ‘Oh, my friend, thank you.’” "And those not-good words that we have to say will give our life a not-good direction."

The holistic path integrates astrology, yoga, and practical living for well-being. The current era presents challenges foretold in scripture. Vedic astrology, based on lunar constellations, precisely maps all life, including human destiny and compatibility. Yoga is a corresponding union, addressing the body and mind through exercise, breath, and relaxation. Correct practice is essential, as suitable methods vary per individual. Various medical systems exist, each with its place. True health requires balanced nourishment, moderation in food and drink, and disciplined practice. Spiritual awareness recognizes the divine gift of human consciousness and choice. "Jyotiṣ asks, 'What is that which is 100% sure?'" "Yoga also means union, a constellation of elements."

The test of nourishment extends beyond food to all you have received. What you consume shapes your being. True nourishment is judged by the eyes, the heart, the taste, and its digestion. Eat less to truly savor and ease the stomach's work. The body is a mystery; we do not even know our own skin. Many yogis advise: eat less, drink as needed, and meditate more. Modern habits of inactivity and overeating weaken our digestion. Respect the purity of your food and those who prepare it. The essence, ān, is the divine seed within all nourishment, carrying the prāṇa of life. Your habits, formed from what you consume, determine your state. Control these habits from the beginning for a harmonious life. "Eat less, drink as it is needed, and meditate more." "What you will eat, like that you will be."

The disciple's joy depends solely on the guru's grace. The guru's blessings are transmitted through a living master or the enduring spiritual presence of the lineage. A true disciple follows the Satguru without question, maintaining a dedicated personal practice. The physical lineage chair represents the eternal guru principle. Spiritual progress requires surrendering worldly attachments and mental fixations, as the story illustrates where avoiding a physical touch fostered a mental obsession. The goal is a merger where all distinctions dissolve. Practice regularly but without neglecting worldly duties. "Many people may not understand. They think that if their guru is not physically present anymore, they must have some other guru." "If Gurudev says something and we say, 'No, it is not good,' then we have gone to the other side."

Integrate spiritual practice into daily life. Maintain your practice at home in the early morning or evening. While walking or driving, refrain from excessive talk to focus on your sādhanā. Carry the peaceful atmosphere of the ashram within you. Be harmonious with your family, sharing your practice gently. Engage with the earth by touching soil in a garden to connect with pure energy. Practice āsanas and prāṇāyāma, such as Kapālabhāti, for health, moving beyond mere reliance on medicine. Yoga is a holistic practice for body and life. Proper learning requires attending classes with a teacher, progressing step by step through different levels. The highest gathering is Satsaṅg, where all come together in truth.

A yogic life honors the body as divine through natural nourishment and disciplined practice. Modern disease arises from unnatural living, improper eating, and environmental harm. While doctors are a boon, true health returns to the natural way, like nourishment from a grandmother's kitchen. Constant eating and artificial habits shorten life. Past generations lived long through natural sustenance. The body is our temple and primary religion. One must live with consistency, avoiding contradictions like practicing yoga then consuming harmful substances. Begin each day mindfully, acknowledging our human form and connection to elements like water. The aim is for all to become yogis—healthy, peaceful, and devoted to the living God within this body.

Yoga is for health, harmony, understanding, peace, long life, and friendship. All yoga schools are good, regardless of association with religion. Humans have come a far distance from living in forests. We are now separated but do good for ourselves and others. Long ago, there was no money and people lived happily by giving to each other. Money and gold later arrived, creating desire and a system of transaction. Now we seek gold and material possessions, but these things remain after we are gone. It does not matter which religion or place one is from; being human is what matters. God gave yoga to make the body healthy and happy so one may live a long, peaceful life.

The ancient forest reveals profound truths through its life and stories. To understand it is to know everything. Sages walk there, and a solitary yogī lives among immense, ancient trees. We have such a forest in our ashram. There, a massive banyan tree, over 5,000 years old, stands. This reminds me of a story from another ashram. A young guru there spoke to a great tree, prophesying its death within two years. The tree, confident after millennia, asked who could kill it. The guru said its friends would, and that its enemy was in fire and iron. Later, a man with an axe came and felled the tree. The fallen tree later advised that one should not have enemies, and if someone is your enemy, be kind to them. There is a lesson in small things, like a needle that can kill. We should always be careful, happy, and kind. Then, their karma will affect them, not you. The trees are our best friends. We humans need the forests and should love them. "Ṛṣi, you take care of yourself. I am okay." "Therefore, we should always be careful and always be very happy and kind to others." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Understand the meaning within devotional song. Concentrate not only on the sound but on its significance. Knowing the meaning makes the song a reality within the heart and mind. Initially, many did not understand yoga or these songs. People sang without comprehension, and the songs were sung without their understanding. Authorities were present, monitoring. The practice grew from small groups to hundreds over successive visits. Gatherings were held in simple, natural settings like forest chalets, with shared food and song late into the night. Travel was challenging, with winter journeys involving multiple cars and stops for tea. Official interactions occurred, with visits to police stations for routine checks. Specific rules were given: do not remove or bring in movable wealth, avoid religious discourse, and engage in no politics. These rules aligned with a yogi's natural disinterest in such matters. The focus remained solely on health and well-being through practice, without politics or religion. The atmosphere was one of happiness and relaxation.

The path is to be present, letting go of past and future. You have practiced and received knowledge. Our way is to be relaxed and normal, not straining or focusing oddly. What we seek is to know the Self. We follow a given path but must understand it ourselves. We are human with knowledge, yet we do not know what comes after this life. Do not dwell on the past; it is gone like an exhale. We often live in memories or future thoughts, not in the present. Suffering in the present will not last. We must come into our heart and thoughts to be one. Forget the past; your future path will be good. What you have now is here; do not lose it by grasping for more.

The spiritual path requires following a true guide through the transitional age. We are in Kali Yuga, a dark age nearing its end. Śiva balances all forces, working to harmonize and avert disaster, guiding beings toward a coming Satya Yuga of holiness. The true guru, like a mother, provides the correct path and blessings. You must follow that given path without distraction or switching guides. Many techniques exist, from physical science to spiritual discipleship. Karma yoga involves understanding all actions and life circumstances. Jyotiṣ, the science of astrology, is presented as a critical knowledge revealing the timing of all events, including one's death. The key is to go deeply, beyond mere physical practice, and stay on the assigned path toward oneness. "Śiva is giving blessings and controlling everything for all: the ṛṣis, the yogīs, the spiritual ones, and also others." "So without jyotiṣ, no one can go further."

All spiritual paths are one, despite different names and forms. This unity is seen in families where each member has a name, yet the family is one. Similarly, every yoga center and religion, though named differently, converges on the same truth. Just as children in a kindergarten are all beautiful, all spiritual endeavors are good. The human soul is one, despite variations in body or color. Life is like water: individual drops from clouds or rivers ultimately return to and merge with the ocean. Maintaining distinct traditions and knowing one's roots creates harmony, while excessive mixing without understanding leads to confusion. Respect all paths and see the single reality within all forms. "Yoga is only one yoga; we simply have different names." "Water is water. It may be in the clouds, in the ocean... but one fine drop comes together with others... and finally returns to the ocean." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Jyotiṣa centers on the Moon and its constellations, not the Sun. An eclipse releases negative energies; avoid looking and cleanse thoroughly afterward. The moon holds true significance in Jyotiṣa; solar systems are disregarded. Moon constellations determine auspicious moments for conception, bestowing health and beauty. Birth constellations shape emotional bonds, where a partner may provide parental-like dedication. Precise predictions arise from Jyotiṣa; a father once foretold his son's renunciant path from the stars. Checking constellations before travel is essential. A missing element in an alignment can act like an arrow, nullifying favorable signs. Authentic Jyotiṣa knowledge originates from Grahācārya, not universities. Grahācārya arranged the marriage of Śiva and Pārvatī. The Sapta Ṛṣis are seven stars, source of many ṛṣis like Gagāchārya. In Kaliyuga, compatibility fractures as constellations misalign. Without Jyotiṣa guidance, worldly disorder spreads. The Bhagavad Gītā remains the unchanging scripture to be studied. Full moon gatherings include bhajans and prayer. The aspiration to learn Jyotiṣa persists, though some are told it is unnecessary. Travel plans shift to Strilky for an extended stay. "There are two through the moon. That is very good and real. Others, maybe in Western countries, say the sun, but that is nothing good. But the moon." "When an eclipse occurs, for a while there is no true sun, yet nothing is permitted to look at the sun while it is, as they say, dark. For the eyes, it is very harmful; you should not see it."

The Vajranāḍī is the central channel for the mantra's energy. A proper Oṃ originates from the navel. The sound must not deviate into other directions. From this point, the beautiful Vajranāḍī ascends very finely and correctly. Its movement is serpentine, like a snake. Yet, when it encounters a boundary, it proceeds straight along that line. This channel is established directly from the navel center. "Oṃ originates from the navel." "The Vajranāḍī comes up very finely, very correctly. Like a snake, it always moves like this."

The individual soul is a drop from the divine ocean. We are all that divine essence, like a drop from the ocean. Modern science can be used for good or harm, but the ancient yogic science guides only toward good. Our true nature is divine; each cell in the body is God. We are the drop that has temporarily separated. This drop may land in a barren place, but it will inevitably return to the ocean. We are very close to that unity now. All names and forms are of the one God. The soul does not die; it merges. Our prayers should extend kindness to all life. Among billions of life forms, only humans possess the understanding to realize this truth. The path is within, through the heart and meditation, using practices like mantra to return focus inward. External roles are just garments; the inner realization is what matters. "All animals, all, but humans more, we know that. And we are the drop of that." "Only life, the soul, the life have only one door." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Dharma is eternal righteous conduct for all beings, upholding universal benefit. We live in Kali Yuga, an age where adharma is strong. Śiva maintains cosmic balance, gradually transforming all beings toward Dharma. All life feels pain; lacking compassion halts progress and brings consequences. The principle of non-harm is significant, extending beyond pets to all creatures. Humans must practice restraint, not follow the example of animals in a free life. Tapasya, or austerity, is necessary; overconsumption and impurity from chemicals lead to sickness. True health requires pure elements, like clean water, and a prayer for a good life leading to liberation from cyclic existence. Meditation focuses on the subtle body. The Vajranāḍī is a central channel; knowing it brings health. Practices like Brahmrī, connected to the navel and Sahasrāra, align this energy. All paths and teachers should be respected, fostering unity rather than division. "Dharma is Dharma. It is not a selective principle; it is for all lives, without exception." "As long as we lack compassion in our hearts, we will not progress." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The path of Sarvahita integrates yoga into daily life for holistic health and resilience. Illness can emerge from imbalances in nature and human consumption. Personal discipline through diet, fasting, and consistent yoga practice supports the body's recovery and strength. The nervous system is a vast network connecting every part of the body. Specific exercises and breathwork circulate energy and aid healing. This practice, Sarvahita Yoga, serves the entire body—muscles, nerves, and cells—promoting lasting vitality. It is not for a time but for life, sustaining one through challenges. True health unites body, mind, and inner energy. "One can also practice some of the services, and slowly, slowly, he will come back healthy again." "Sarvahita means for our health, our good—our good for everything, for our body, our mind, our concentration." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

A morning yoga practice for immunity and vitality begins with breath and movement. Start standing with breathing exercises, raising arms forward and sideways. Proceed to Tāḍāsana, stretching upward on the toes. Then lie down for relaxation and spinal twists, massaging the lower back and activating the digestive fire. Prepare for backbends like Bhujaṅgāsana and Dhanurāsana while lying on the abdomen. Practice Śaśāṅkāsana to relax the back and stimulate the Vajranāḍī. Include seated postures like Vīrāsana and Daṇḍāsana, working with toes and ankles. Perform preparatory exercises for Aśvasañcālanāsana to awaken the Maṇipūra Cakra. Conclude with deep breathing, concentration, and a closing mantra. This sequence harmonizes mind and body, boosting immunity and metabolism for daily health. "Yoga is harmony of mind, body, and soul." "Through yoga, you can control the mind." Filming locations: Jadan, Pali District, Rajasthan, India.

Yoga is the science of humanity and the soul. It is a universal path, not confined to the body. All beings possess an Ātmā, a living essence that unites us when we leave the physical form. True listening to this inner soul reveals the way. Yoga is celebrated worldwide, yet it is not an exclusive practice; focusing solely on one name or form creates negativity. The essence is unity, illustrated by a drop returning to the ocean, becoming one with the whole. The practice leads to health and clarity, preparing the soul to merge with the supreme. Ultimately, yoga is about living healthily and happily, performing good actions while recognizing the oneness within all diversity. "Yoga is the science of the people." "Everything, all is one in all and all in one." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The path of practice requires correct alignment to be truly good. Begin at the front, then move to the knees. This constitutes the completion. Seventy percent engage lightly; others go more deeply. Both approaches are valid. In the tradition, practice was not rigidly defined for every individual. Now the time has come to continue differently. Practicing in harmony with the season is very good. Here, everyone helps one another. "Seventy percent of practitioners experience the very light version; the others engage with it a little more deeply." "Practicing in harmony with the season is truly very, very good."

Brahmari Prāṇāyāma concerns prāṇa, the vital energy flowing through the nervous system. This energy connects all parts of the body; an issue in one nerve affects the whole. The practice uses sound vibration, which originates from a central point and extends throughout the entire system. This subtle vibration reaches from the soles of the feet upward, balancing and releasing energy within. The technique involves pressing the lips together without clenching the teeth. One must listen inwardly to the sound generated, allowing the breath to flow naturally without force. Concentration is placed on the body's sensations as the internal sound brings clarity and balance to the entire being. "The vibration reaches the sole of the foot. And this sound, Brahmari, and rising up, has established the other Vajranāḍī Prāṇāyāma." "One does not need to go outward, but inward into the body."

Being a student provides a transformative perspective, seeing the Divine behind outer life. This knowledge frees one from being trapped by external conditions. Practice is both inward and an outward service to others. Chanting mantras with intention generates a powerful vibration that reaches and helps the world. The community remained unafraid, trusting the divine power that radiates outward when lived. Obstacles arise for learning, to be observed and dissolved. The current age is one of pain and difficulty, affecting all life. The pandemic stems from collective human pain, modern chemicals, and the treatment of animals, returning as karmic consequence. True health comes from disciplined living, proper diet, and the integration of yoga into daily life, not from harmful consumption. The Self, the Ātman within, is God. Meditation is returning to this inner Self, not seeking outside. One must be alert, for the body is a temporary home; only the soul is eternal. "Perhaps we have had a little more time for introspection and our practices." "I believe this illness has come from the pain, and we have created all of this." Filming location: Villach, Austria

The practice focuses on Vajranāḍī, Sarvahitāsana, and Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma. Lie on your stomach and relax. Sit back on your heels with hands on thighs. The Vajranāḍī is a nerve channel. Vajra means powerful like iron. It is located between the big toe and second toe. Vajranāḍī is the body's power source. It resembles a tree with unseen roots. Sitting on the heels, raise them to bring energy to the brain. Place hands on the temples and bite gently. This posture relieves headaches. Sarvahitāsana means good for all nerves and muscles. Practice it daily to refresh circulation and vitality. Simple yoga until life's end makes death easy and happy. For Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma, inhale deeply. Place fingers lightly in the ears. Bite teeth evenly with lips closed. Produce a humming sound, not "viśva." Practice three to five times only. Do it in the morning, midday, and evening. It balances the inner self. "Vajra means like iron—very powerful, very strong. That Vajranāḍī is the power of our whole body." "Sarva hita: hita means good for all. The whole body, everything—muscles, nāḍīs."

All spiritual paths and centers, rooted in Indian concepts like dharma, are valid worldwide. We must respect every school and not claim exclusivity. Just as many children in a village each have their own family and name, yet all are children, so do various yoga traditions have their own names and forms. They all share the same essence. The goal is oneness. A guru's value is not in the number of disciples but in their knowledge. We are like drops from one vast ocean; though separate, our essence is the same divine source. All humans and creatures contain that divine essence. We must look within to realize our true nature as the cosmic self. Do not compare or denigrate other paths. All lead to the same truth, just as all children return to their homes. "One should not say, 'Only mine, that's all.'" "Holy Gurujī said, 'I have only one āśram, and that's our body.'"

The divine union of Śiva and Śakti is the fundamental cosmic principle. All beings originate from the Cosmic, with the soul or God within. The inner self, the Ātmā, is equal in all, male or female. Historically, women were denied spiritual respect, but now equality is recognized. The teaching "Mātṛ Devo Bhava" establishes the mother as the first object of reverence, followed by the father, teacher, and guru. Creation requires both masculine and feminine principles. Śiva, initially whole, contains Śakti within, manifesting as the androgynous Ardhanārīśvara. A story illustrates their inseparability: when the goddess Satī died, Śiva carried her body in grief. To restore cosmic balance, Viṣṇu used the Sudarśana Cakra to dismember the form, creating the sacred Śakti Pīṭhas. Later, Pārvatī sought immortality from Śiva through a night-long mantra, but she fell asleep, and a parrot overheard the secret. This unity exists within each person; husband and wife should be one as Śiva and Śakti are one. Practice purity and non-violence, recognizing the divine in all. Worship leads to the cosmic; otherwise, one remains unfulfilled. "Shiva and Shakti are one in ourselves, in our body." "Matri Devo Bhava, first God, is taken as the mother."

Yoga is one unified path, though taught under many names. It extends far beyond physical postures to encompass the entire life force and consciousness. The practice integrates all aspects of nature, as seen in the 84 traditional āsanas inspired by animals and elements. This discipline is lifelong, like the breath itself, and aims to balance the body's five principles with nature. The ultimate goal is for the individual soul, or jīva, to realize its divine nature and ascend to the highest cosmic consciousness, ending the cycle of rebirth among the 8.4 million life forms. While worldly knowledge progresses outwardly, the yogi's path is an inward journey to the Self. All creatures possess the will to live, and humans must recognize the divine Ātmā within themselves and all beings, moving from identifying with the limited drop to merging with the boundless ocean. "Yoga is not only physical, for the physical body, or just breath and concentration, etc. Yoga is very far-reaching." "Your soul, your ātmā in you is your God." Filming location: Slovenska, Slovenia

The many paths of yoga converge like rivers into one ocean. Respect all ways of practice. The science of yoga is vast, yet we must understand our own body. The navel, or Nābhi, is the root. A problem there affects the whole system. To progress, one must bring the body under control through proper diet and awareness. Overweight individuals should eat lightly, focusing on salads and seeds, to achieve balance over time. Practice feeling the movement and vibration at the navel. This awareness is the foundation for meditation and self-knowledge. True practice begins from this root, balancing the physical to access deeper states. The sound of OM originates from the navel, rising through the channels to the crown. Balance in the body leads to balance in consciousness. "Yoga is yoga, but which kind of yoga? It is like this gathering: some have come from the East, some from the West, and all who have come via different paths have seen many different things." "The navel is the root. Everything is there. When there is a problem with the navel, the whole body will die." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

Karma Yoga is the supreme practice, integrating spiritual awareness into every daily action. To be human is the primary yoga. Upon waking, one acknowledges being human and steps onto Mother Earth with reverence. Touching water releases tension and connects one to the father element. Opening windows welcomes the air. Life is interaction with family, animals, and tasks, all done with conscious love. True wealth is internal, residing in the heart and mind, impossible to steal. God is not an external entity to be found in forests or mountains. God resides within each person. Therefore, one who knows they are God within will cause no harm. Life is a step-by-step practice, including asana, pranayama, and meditation. The divine essence is singular and present in all, like individual drops containing the whole ocean. Practice should be consistent and gradual, like a child growing day by day. The Vajranadi is the central power channel, sustaining life from conception to death. Practice Brahmari pranayama to balance the brain's hemispheres, creating a harmonious vibration for meditation. Yoga is a lifelong journey of silent, peaceful, and joyful practice. "Look within thyself, that is God." "True wealth is not money. Anyone can take away our money, but in our brain and in our heart, that money which we have, no one can take away."

The living guru and true path are found within an authentic lineage, not through blind faith or exploitation. Modern science connects us physically, but only genuine spiritual transmission guides the soul beyond death. Many teachers and paths exist, each like a mother to her child, yet the root parampara is essential. Discernment is required, as some promise false powers or exploit faith with rituals. True practice involves a pure lifestyle and steady discipline, not mere claims. The breath's exhalation represents the enduring power; life continues beyond this body. "Next to God is the doctor." "Exhalation is forever." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

The essential need is for the living grace and vision of the teacher. All spiritual practice is dry without the guru's darśan and mercy. The ultimate goal is to internalize this vision so it is present whenever the eyes are closed. True darśan is the feeling awakened in the heart in a sacred place, not merely a physical sight. This gathering after a difficult period is a profound blessing. The dedicated work of many has prepared this new space, which is an invitation for all to come, work, and build together in nature and peace. The current age presents challenges, but within them lies opportunity for those who follow the guru's word with faith and selfless effort. "All of our sādhanā, everything that we do in our lives, is dry without Gurudev’s darśan and Gurudev’s mercy." "So many lives, thousands of lives, you have dedicated to yourself. Decide to dedicate one to me." Filming location: Karlovac, Croatia
