The practice of netī and prāṇāyāma cleanses the subtle channels and brings health. The spine houses the Vajranāḍī, the vital channel for all creatures; its injury ends life. Care is essential in all physical activity. Netī cleanses the nostrils using a lotā with warm, salted water; practice only in the morning. This relieves headaches and clarifies the senses. Prāṇāyāma begins with alternate-nostril breathing to purify the nāḍīs. Techniques like nāḍī śodhana and anuloma viloma balance energy and release ailments. Consistent practice yields profound benefits for the mind and body. "The Vajranāḍī is not only for humans, but for all creatures... When the Vajranāḍī is broken, then life is gone." "Inhale with the left nostril... exhale only with the left nostril... Then we close the left nostril, and we inhale and exhale only with the right nostril." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The science of prāṇa and Svara Yoga is a profound system within the yogic tradition. Yoga is an ancient principle existing for all creation, leading to the highest reality. The human journey presents a fundamental choice: spiritual ascent or descent back into worldly cycles. This divine science is embodied within our physical form. Prāṇa is life itself, and the soul resides within it. The practice involves understanding the flow of breath through the nasal channels known as Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. This is Svara Yoga. One must learn to discern which nostril has dominant flow, as this knowledge guides practice. Techniques exist to gently alter this flow, such as applying pressure under the opposite armpit. This practice aligns with daily activities, like drinking water during left-nostril flow. Mastering this control through sustained prāṇāyāma can expand life. This knowledge is drawn from exacting traditional sources, ultimately attributed to the divine. "Prāṇa means life, and life means prāṇa. Our soul is in prāṇa." "If we can control both our nostrils, Iḍā-Piṅgalā, then we can expand our life more." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Progress requires humility and the avoidance of jealousy's destructive fire. Advancement comes through humble self-reflection, not by pointing out the faults of others using body, speech, or mind. Negative actions first harm the doer. Forgiveness is essential; one must absorb injustice without retaliation, as exemplified by profound spiritual examples. Physical yoga alone is insufficient for reaching the divine. Spiritual progress is tested through life's difficulties, as illustrated by the story of a prince who sought God directly after being wronged. Divine judgment looks beyond religious labels to the purity of the heart. Jealousy is a consuming inner fire that destroys the individual. The spiritual light, or Deepak, is crucial for illumination in darkness, guiding one's inner life. True practice is controlled and peaceful, avoiding forceful methods that cause harm. A prayer calls upon the all-pervading, merciful divine light for forgiveness and guidance. "God, or Brahman, or Allah—all will see everyone." "Jealous means fire, burning."

The human path requires a clear spiritual practice and a single, true guru. All beings share this human life, yet many have lost the heart's connection through worldly confusion. The morning routine is essential: awaken before sunrise in Brahmamuhurta, wash with water, and bring light into your space with a lamp and pure sound. This practice purifies the day. Your spiritual guru is one, just as a child has one mother and father. Do not change gurus or jump between paths, as this creates confusion. The guru gives the seed of knowledge directly to the soul. Attend other gatherings for learning, but your primary allegiance remains to your one guru. The wealth from a guru is inner knowledge, which cannot be stolen. Surrender body, mind, and this inner wealth in service. "From the morning when we wake up until the evening when we go to sleep... there is something within our body, in our brain, in our inner thoughts." "Do not change your gurus. If you change, you will not achieve anything. The guru is one." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Spiritual hunger requires direct nourishment, not mere description. A starving person needs food, not a lecture on its preparation. Students shown pictures of food remain hungry. People now hunger for freedom and health amidst confinement and tension. Direct spiritual sustenance is needed, not lengthy discourse. Offer the essential nourishment that can be immediately received and integrated. This sustenance transcends language and unites all in one reality. The divine presence is singular, like the sun shining on all. Do not worry about current difficulties; they will pass. Use this time for spiritual connection. The body itself contains the divine. Practice mantra and prayer for strength and peace. Cross the ocean of worldly illusion through the boat of spiritual community. "People were all listening because there was nothing else, so they put their time to very good use and learned again more." "Don’t believe the religion, don’t believe some statues, but at least believe your body, and your body inside is God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Culture is the essential spiritual education for children, uniting humanity through shared traditions and reverence for life. Every nation possesses a unique culture, which is the foundation for its spirituality and education. Parents must impart this cultural knowledge at home, alongside formal schooling. Cultural festivals like Christmas or Diwali awaken collective joy and continuity, teaching values through anticipation and celebration. Rituals such as marriages, conducted with purity and community support, embed cultural understanding in the young. This education extends to knowing one's land—its rivers, forests, and natural gifts like medicinal honey and the sacred cow. Daily practices, including prayer before meals and the principles of yajña (sacrifice), dāna (charity), and tapas (austerity), structure a moral life. Ultimately, this cultural guidance requires the blessing of a guru to awaken true knowledge and prevent a life of aimless wandering. "Where there is culture, there is spirituality." "Without the guru’s blessing, the knowledge will not come." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

All paths and practices ultimately converge into a single essence. Many engage in various spiritual exercises, yet remain like isolated drops of water, taking a long time to reach the ocean. Personal effort alone is insufficient; the essential practice is prayer. While many teach and give to others, this outward focus can hinder inner development. True progress requires turning inward, as exemplified by those who retreat into solitude. The culmination is reaching the divine feet through a simple, heartfelt repetition of a holy name. This practice channels energy and leads to liberation, becoming the sole truth at life's end. "All your bhajans, all your exercises, whatever you do, is in oneness." "Rāma nāma, the name of God, Rāma. 'Rāma nāma sathe'—this name is the truth." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is the singular union of daily practice and spiritual quest. The term "Yoga in Daily Life" signifies practice integrated into every day. Hatha yoga represents the union of the left and right energies, the sun and moon within. There are three types of determined will: the stubborn will of a child, the will of a woman, and the unyielding will of a yogi. A true Hatha Yogi possesses an unwavering resolve to achieve the divine, renouncing all else. A seeker longed only to see God, enduring great hardship on a mountain. Tested by a crow that was actually God in disguise, the seeker's ultimate devotion was proven by his request to keep his eyes to behold the divine. Such single-pointed determination is the essence of spiritual practice. Mere routine prayer or meditation, filled with distraction, lacks this power. The physical body is temporary, but the prana, the vital life force, is divine. The immortal soul never dies. "Eat all my body, but let my two eyes, because I want to see my God, my love." "You should know we will never die. The jīva will never die." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Prāṇa is the universal life force connecting all beings. Our physical body is composed of the five elements and contains immense energy. This energy, or prāṇa, must be balanced within us. It flows through every cell, not just the lungs; even our hair and nails interact with it. All life forms possess this prāṇa, from humans to animals and plants. We see evidence of the soul's presence after physical death, as in animals that gather around their dead. The key is to distinguish between temporary emotional attachment and eternal spiritual oneness. Attachment is personal and leads to separation, while oneness is a unifying connection with all life, like that between a true disciple and the guru. This connection transcends the physical body. Our practices should honor this inherent prāṇa within every being, fostering respect and unity rather than division. The goal is to realize this fundamental oneness. "Prāṇa is our prāṇa. Nāth is the God. 'My prāṇa.'" "Gurudev, I die, I will be Thine. Bhaktas can come and go, but my Lord, I will be dying." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Guru is the supreme principle encompassing and transcending all. The Guru is Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, yet exists above this trinity. This truth is chanted to affirm that the divine witness is always present. Meditation's root is the Guru's form, meaning one should concentrate on the divine essence within, not the physical body. Worship's root is the Guru's feet, representing reverence for the foundation from which all guidance arises. The mantra's root is the Guru's word, for speech holds immense power for liberation or bondage. Liberation's root is the Guru's grace alone. Therefore, see the Guru in all steps and in all forms, moving beyond attachment to the physical. "Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Guruve Namaḥ." "Dhyāna Mūlam Guru Mūrti, Pūjā Mūlam Guru Padam, Mantra Mūlam Guru Vākyam, Mokṣa Mūlam Guru Kṛpā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga originates from the divine and is for all beings, drawing inspiration from the forms and balances found throughout creation. The practice encompasses postures, breath, and sound for holistic well-being. It is essential to avoid force and competition, progressing slowly and respectfully with the body's natural limits. Overexertion in postures or overconsumption in diet leads to harm. True yoga integrates mindful practice with disciplined living, focusing on gradual elevation over a lifetime. "God has given two feet for standing, not the head for standing." "In yoga, there is no competition." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The mala and mantra are a singular technique for deep spiritual journey, distinct from general meditation or physical yoga. The Guru provides this specific path inward. The mala's 108 beads, including the Sumeru, utilize sacred numerology to influence consciousness. Correct handling is crucial: the index finger remains separate while the thumb and middle finger move the beads inward toward the heart. This practice purifies the five sheaths of the body. Materials like Rudraksha or Tulasi carry specific spiritual properties, with Tulasi also offering medicinal benefits. The practice is one of constant remembrance, aligning with the natural balance exemplified by celestial bodies. "The mala itself is the path." "To go very deep inside, there is only one technique the Guru gives: one word or mantra." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Bhakti and Karma are the essence of the path. Bhakti Yoga is a supreme and sure path. Many saints, like the farmer Tukārām, attained realization through unwavering devotion and selfless action, trusting completely in divine will. His harvest flourished despite neglect, demonstrating that grace follows sincere bhakti. Yoga practices are good, but success is impossible without devotion. Bhakti requires a completely pure heart, free from all negative thoughts and ego. Ego is a destructive fire within. Karma Yoga, selfless service performed without ego, is Bhakti Yoga. One cannot practice clear Bhakti without Karma, and clear Karma requires Bhakti. They are interdependent. Other yogas like Jñāna or Rāja are good but remain more superficial. The combined path of Bhakti and Karma leads to the highest goal. "Bhakti rodhanā datā dījīyo. O my Lord, give me bhakti, devotion." "Karma sukho śālam.

A destructive artificiality is overtaking the natural world and human health. Earthquakes, fires, and pollution signal a worsening age. Chemicals decimate bees, fish, and forests, while artificial foods and beauty products breed disease. We must return to nature and its wisdom, like Ayurveda, for a long and healthy life. Modern science often errs, altering seeds and even human reproduction, creating confusion and sickness. Our natural ways are being lost. Simple, natural remedies exist for common ailments, like dental care using neem or babool. These methods reconnect us to the truth of our bodies and the earth. "These chemical things have also destroyed a great deal on this earth." "Life in the water, the fish, has been affected by petrol, oil extraction, and leaks, causing the death of many creatures."

Bāḍī Khāṭū Praṇām Yog is a superior yoga practice from India. A grandmother and children discuss gymnastics versus yoga. The grandmother asserts that Indian yoga is better. They learn about Om Āśram, established by World Peace Ambassador Śrī Svāmī Maheśvarānandjī. This ashram is the home of Bāḍī Khāṭū Praṇām Yog. The Swami travels worldwide to teach this yoga. The children watch a video of the practice. They express their liking for it and state their parents perform it daily. The grandmother approves. This yoga provides physical health, spiritual peace, and divine attainment. It was originated by Vishwaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśwar Paramhaṁswāmī Maheśvarānandjī through Om Āśram. "Bāḍī Khāṭū Praṇām Yog not only keeps your body healthy, but it is also able to give you spiritual peace and the attainment of the divine."

The immortal voice of the Guru is present everywhere. Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī resides in every heart and is the entire universe. His words are like precious pearls. The lineage continues through great saints, all of whom have returned to Brahman. The Guru's voice is an immortal story resonating throughout the whole world. It is like nectar from an ocean, coming through clouds to earth. Those who drink this nectar through understanding are freed from birth and death. The Guru sees all life as equal. One must become the humblest to receive this. The voice is eternal and will remain as long as humanity exists. "Sāre viśva meṁ guñj rahī hai, prabhu kī amar kahānī." — "In the whole world, the immortal story of the Lord is resonating." "Jisne piyā amṛta manbhar ke...

Life is lived in the present through the prāṇa. The past is a memory and the future is unknown; only the present breath is real. Prāṇa is the vital thread sustaining life, persisting even when breath and pulse seem absent. Yogis learn to live with this energy, aligning with natural cycles like sunrise and sunset. Sleep states—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—reveal different layers of consciousness. In deep sleep, there is complete relaxation, while dreams carry impressions from our waking life. A true yogi can navigate these states with awareness through yoga nidrā, transforming dreams. This mastery is rare and comes only through the guru's grace. The guru-disciple bond is the essential conduit for this knowledge, transcending mere physical presence or ritual. "The prāṇa is like a thread; we are hanging on the thread." "Only that yogī, that guru—we call param-gurus—they can give inside one key." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

New Year's Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Many cultures count differently the beginning of the new year. The functions of our body are working constantly. When we arrive at the end of our life w die. In reality, there is no time but we counting. We count many functions in our body. Holiguruji said that don't count the days better if you count your mantra. Siva created Brahma and Visnu and he created himself. The water comes from the sweating of Visnu and Brahma created humans. The seven rishis are still in space as seven stars. We should know the line of our family. It is a hard process during those nine months before our birth. In the next life, an elephant can be an ant and vice versa.

The year's end invites reflection on life's purpose and spiritual foundations. Human life is inherently challenging for soul evolution. Collective human actions create karmic pressure on Earth, which returns as global suffering, prompting questioning of purpose. Modern consumer society, distant from natural living, often lacks true life philosophy, leading to selfishness and violence by forgetting Sanātana Dharma's foundational unity. This dharma teaches all beings are connected to one God. Following non-violence is the correct path, as karmic feedback, though delayed, is inevitable. A living Guru embodies these principles, providing a real example of selfless service. In difficult times, one must consciously choose a path of right thought, speech, and action, helping others with a positive heart. "Human life is always a challenge, because that is actually the purpose of the evolution of the soul." "All ethical teachings and moral rules are based on Ahiṃsā Paramodharma."

A prayer for protection and balance in response to suffering. An earthquake has caused loss and hardship. Prayers and ceremonies have positive effects. We are in Kali Yuga, a distracting age. Shiva will now balance all negatives to bring a better time. Messages suggest more challenges will come. We must act. First, protect all life: in water, on land, and in the air. Do not destroy creatures; love and feed them. From your own food, give a portion to animals. This protection of others is protection for ourselves. Spiritual progress is like drawing water from a deep well; negative actions can break the rope, causing a fall. We should also practice yoga: postures like Sarvahitāsan and prāṇāyāma. These bring health. Breathing is life itself. "Shiva will balance all. He will bring that kind of energy so that all the negatives or distracting things will slowly, slowly be brought into a good position." "If we cannot give them something good, then at least we should not destroy them or make problems for them." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A shelter exists amidst the turbulence of this age. Natural disasters and pandemics manifest as signs of the Kali Yuga. Astrological constellations foretell these events, which occur regardless of belief. The divine serpent Śeṣanāga, upon whom Viṣṇu rests, causes earthquakes and cyclones through its movements. This same entity also provides universal protection, like the sun that shines for all. Invisible sages and divine beings work to maintain balance. Prayer and mantra practice across all faiths invoke this shelter, offering peace and control. The current sufferings are acknowledged, and collective prayer is directed for relief. "It is said that in the ocean, under the ocean, there is Viṣṇu." "Believe or not believe, but when it happens, then you will say, 'Yes, there is something.'"

Awakening to health and awareness is essential in these challenging times. Negative influences are pervasive, arising from within and without, making protection difficult. Strengthen the body through yogic exercise and proper nourishment. Consume sprouted seeds and soaked almonds each morning. After eating, avoid water for one hour; consume fruit before other foods. Purify your living space, even in cities, by cleaning and allowing filtered air. Practice prāṇāyāma to strengthen the lungs, heart, and brain. Spiritual nourishment from bhajans and satsaṅg is vital for the mind and heart. The bhajan "Chetan Chetan" calls for alertness. We must be aware and wish for good health in all states of consciousness. Positive spiritual practices awaken every cell. Ultimately, you must do the work for your own well-being. "Chetan means be alert, be aware; you should know." "Deep means light... Nārāyaṇa is Viṣṇu, Bhagavān Viṣṇu." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Kali Yuga presents a severe trial, demanding unity. A time of great calamity approaches, with disasters, disease, and agricultural ruin. Yet, a path exists for those with correct knowledge to merge with the cosmic Śiva. Śiva's nature is universally compassionate, embracing all people and religions without exclusion, unlike other forces that may discriminate. Śiva's blessing is the paramount solution. The precious human birth is easily squandered without understanding. Time, once lost, never returns. Therefore, one must remember Śiva constantly through repetition of His names, cultivating real devotion to the inner Gurudeva, who appears in many forms beyond external designations. This devotion is the essential grace. "Śiva said, 'All of you are very good. Let be.'" "Human life in this world is very, very precious. If you do not understand and you lose it, then you have no knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Compassion is the essential practice, moving beyond "I" and "mine" to serve all life. The primary gift is food for the hungry, human and animal alike, which is giving life. Many traditions exemplify this unconditional service. In some places, all are fed equally without refusal, holding sacred texts in the highest reverence with specific protocols to maintain purity. The core principle is to love, protect, and feed, never to kill. At life's end, the soul departs alone, leaving everything behind. Without grace and refuge in the guiding truth, one remains trapped in the endless cycle of rebirth and suffering. All paths of genuine devotion and surrender lead to the same unity. "Love them, protect them, feed them, do not kill them." "Without the Guru's grace, you will fall into the cycle of 8.4 million [life-forms]." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is a universal science, yet its practice manifests through diverse traditions and names. All religions and their sacred calendars must be respected, not deleted. Changing time itself, like daylight saving, disrupts natural harmony. Different yoga schools or healing methods are like various names within one body or nation; the essence is one. Physical practices like asana prepare the being, but they do not touch the soul. For that, one must ultimately go to the Guru. The Guru is the final point to cross the ocean of worldly existence, serving as mother, father, and Satguru in the lineage. "One in all and all in one." "Without Gurudeva, who can let us cross the ocean of that saṃsāra?" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The unity of all spiritual paths and the essential grace of the guru are paramount. All teachings and religions are one, as all beings are God's children. We respect all holy books and figures, including Jesus on this Christmas day. The divine essence—whether called Viṣṇu, Śiva, or another name—is singular. We must transcend duality, recognizing our shared humanity and fostering humility and peace. The mind must be controlled through yoga. The guru provides the essential knowledge for liberation, surpassing even parental guidance. Life's attachments, like a spider's web, ultimately trap us. At death, no relative or friend can free the soul; only the Satguru can offer true refuge and lead one beyond the cycle. "Guru Kṛupāhi Kevalaṁ Śiṣyaki Ānanda Maṅgalaṁ. When the Gurudeva is there, the disciple is happy, full of joy." "Without Satgurus, we come there, you are not in that knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A divine lineage transmits eternal truth across ages. Many cultures possess unique spiritual expressions, yet one perennial wisdom flows through specific channels. Our lineage originates with Śrī Alakpurījī from the Satyuga. He nurtured countless yogīs and saints. Bhagavān Śrī Devapurījī performed sādhanā in Alakpurījī's Himalayan cave, attaining great siddhis. From him came Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, a source of profound knowledge. Our Sadguru Swami Mādhavānandajī received blessings from Mahāprabhujī from childhood. Preceding generations included great beings, like one who manifested a full moon on a dark night. This continuous lineage connects to the present. Great saints often remain unseen, guiding all creatures. When one finds this path, an inner light of peace awakens automatically. The restless mind must be controlled to realize this. "Wealth, prosperity, money, properties... all will remain here on the earth." "When the prāṇa goes out of the body... that jīva will go alone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Oneness is the divine reality encompassing all beings. We exist as a small part of a vast creation, living in water, on earth, and in the sky. The Supreme has brought all life into being. Humans, as God's children, were given divine capability. Yet, claiming independence led to negativity and conflict. The solution is likened to opening a locked mala. The divine Name serves as the key to this lock. By focusing on a single, sacred name, one accesses the treasure within. This practice transcends all divisions, restoring harmony. "God gave everything to their children... What God can do, the human can do everything." "The best is on this one name... That is the best name." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The call is to move from unconsciousness to conscious knowledge. We face darkness like the pandemic, but we protect and harmonize, not fight. Light a lamp; the sun will rise. Many worship a formful God, others a formless reality, but Krishna says there is no difference—form is just easier to start with. Yoga is more than body movement; it requires scripture, discipline, and knowledge. A difficult time is coming, but Shiva Shakti will harmonize and separate negative from positive. The Guru's grace, both formless and formed, guides from within. Now is the time to be alert. Consciousness (chetan) means being aware even with eyes closed; unconsciousness (achetan) can occur even while awake, leading to harm. Do not be the ignorant one (ajñānī) who acts with inner anger. Knowledge (jñāna) is the aim. The Guru teaches like a mother correcting a child. This alert knowledge is the foundation; meditation is carrying this awareness into all action. It is not merely lifelong technique, which is just breath. The choice is now. The Guru—mother, father, teacher, sage—will guide. "O my soul, do not be without knowledge. Don't be an ajñānī." "Be alert now. Ab, just now, not tomorrow." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is a single path of awareness, open to all regardless of external form. Its essence is inner awakening, not merely physical postures. Many techniques exist, from gentle breathwork to strong asanas, but practice must be adapted to one's capacity and health. The true color of a yogi is internal, a commitment to awareness that transcends robes or householder status. This alertness, like a skilled driver fully present, is the core of practice. All possessions and attachments are temporary; only the soul proceeds. Therefore, harmonize in oneness, using yoga for holistic well-being without sectarianism. Practice wisely, respecting the body's limits and seeking proper guidance. "Yoga is only one, and it is not only physical movements; there are more techniques, and all is called yoga." "All will be here. At that time, the jīv, your ātmā, your jīvā, will go alone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A global crisis prompts reflection on humanity's unique spiritual and physical condition. Why does a pandemic target humans specifically, across all nations and beliefs? All creatures possess the same fundamental layers of existence, yet humans alone wield the power of action beyond mere survival. This century's afflictions stem from human karma. The widespread turn to meat consumption after the world wars, increased alcohol use, and the industrial production of food have introduced disease. Consuming such nourishment stores illness within, which may emerge later in life. Even vegetables now contain chemicals. The suffering we see originates from human actions, creating a poisoned environment. This is the age of Kali Yuga, where negative forces are prominent. True religion is self-control, and real yoga extends far beyond physical postures. We must first ensure our own spiritual protection to safeguard others. A great conjunction of planets is occurring, a rare celestial event. The coming Satya Yuga is governed by a divine timescale vastly different from our own. Ultimately, all paths return to the yogic essence within. "Slowly, attacks come. It is like a beautiful, big tree: one or two bugs enter, then slowly worms multiply and eat the entire trunk from within." "Practice yoga and daily life, and sleep very peacefully. Look inside; see what will be good. You will be protected." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The fundamental reality is oneness, a single divine consciousness from which all arises. Every day is divine, yet human minds create separation where none exists. All creation emanates from one source, like countless drops from a single ocean. The individual soul and the supreme soul are not two. The purpose of human life is to awaken from unconsciousness to this truth. One must purify the body and mind through awareness, meditation, and selfless action. All material possessions are left behind; only the consequences of one's deeds accompany the soul. Therefore, cultivate constant awareness. "One into the one, so the whole space is one, and we are also only one." "All this will remain here. You can’t even touch. The body will not go together; anything from the body will go."

Yoga begins before Śiva, in a primordial state of space and consciousness. This state holds the three principles of balance, harmony, and control. From this, the five elements—space, fire, air, water, earth—emerge. Śiva is these elements, having no father or mother. The true horizon of understanding is always receding, like water seen on a distant hot road. The self is not merely the body or mind. The soul departs alone, without fear. The current age brings purification through challenges, guided by Śiva's balancing force. Jyotiṣa, the fifth Veda, offers guidance through life's constellations, such as in naming or marriage, but requires great learning. True progress depends on the guru's knowledge, not self-proclaimed realization. Practice extends beyond physical postures to understanding the elements within. "Where is the horizon? We will try to go as far as we go, try to come as far as we come, to close the horizon, it goes further." "Without knowledge of the Guru, nothing can be achieved."

Yoga practice is growing globally as people engage more deeply with physical exercises, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. This inward turn signifies a return to the heart. Ancient teachings reveal a past of purity without animal harm, contrasting with present times. The current age sees a division between those who harm animals and those who love them. Development is measured not by science alone but by compassion and non-violence. The essence of yoga transcends physical practice to connect with the inner soul. A spiritual community mourns the passing of a dedicated disciple, celebrating a life of service and devotion. "The love awakens the perfect self-realization." "Yoga is not only practicing āsanas... we should know where our soul is inside." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Impurity accumulates like dust, and compassion must extend to all beings. In a pure age, a dog unjustly beaten by a priest sought justice from a divine king. The king assembled the people and the priest, who admitted to the act without cause. When asked for a suitable punishment, the dog requested the priest be reborn as a prosperous temple head. This was not a reward but a setup, for in that life of greed, he would fail to share, leading to future suffering. This illustrates that harming any creature, driven by mere prejudice, creates negative consequences. The current age sees increased violence toward animals, a sign of spiritual decline. True practice involves non-violence, caring for creatures in our charge, and maintaining physical health through disciplined practice. "From the time of the Satya Yuga, people were mostly only eating fruits and vegetables; they were vegetarians." "The dog said, 'I want one sādhu, or some yogī, or somebody like this paṇḍita, and we should give him this punishment: in his next life, he should have a beautiful ashram and become the head of that ashram.'"

The divine principle of Śiva embodies the universal balance between opposing forces. All traditions worship the one God, who manifests through various forms. Śiva represents the conscious force that maintains equilibrium between positive and negative energies, which coexist in all creation—humans, animals, and nature. These dualities are inherent from birth, like twins with different natures, yet both are sustained within a greater harmony. Our spiritual practice involves recognizing and balancing these inner forces. Physical balance exercises are a direct method to cultivate this inner stability, aligning body, mind, and spirit. Focused postures and breath work prepare us for deeper meditation, fostering contentment and peace. "One side is what we call the sāttvic and spirituals, the holies... But the others also have that; they are very much doing wrong things, fighting. Yet both have to be balanced, like birth and death." "In each and every creature, there are two—negative and positive. Not only in humans, but also in other creatures—animals, trees, fish, and everything—they have that nature and are working with it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We are in a time of global change requiring balance and discernment. The lunar cycle moves from darkness to light, affecting all nature. This is Kali Yuga, an age of division where hidden negativity surfaces. All previous ages contained both good and bad. People often claim their path is the only good one, like children arguing. The current era sees increasing negativity across the world, manifesting as conflict and disease. This signals a necessary purification and the rising influence of Śiva, the balancing power born from the elements. Spiritual practice, like yoga or chanting, cultivates inner balance amidst external turmoil. "True holy saints do not label things as simply bad or good." "In my position, I will take this vaccine.

The path of a true teacher requires lifelong practice and mastery, not quick certification. One cannot become a genuine yoga teacher from a short course or a book alone. It demands years of dedicated training under a real guru, similar to the extensive education required for a medical doctor. This is a gradual process of controlling one's own life and nourishment. The practice works by balancing the five sheaths of the body, from the physical to the blissful. Yogic energy is distinct; physical exercise expends energy, while yoga cultivates a balanced, internal source. The mind is like a wild horse that must be patiently tamed with love and persistence over a long period, not forced quickly. Authentic teaching comes from this deep, personal mastery. "In order to become a yoga teacher... there is a further level." "You cannot become a guru in some time. Work, work, slowly, step by step." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path of purification requires the guiding light of the Guru. In this age, inner blackness signifies impurity within the heart and mind. We strive to purify ourselves, but daily thoughts and feelings accumulate like dust upon the inner self. Most people are fundamentally good, yet cleansing the mind is difficult. One may wash the body, but thoughts and dreams remain uncleansed. True relaxation comes not from external roles but from returning to one's essential being. Meditation is the key, yet it cannot be simply given. Many learn techniques, but few truly grasp the essence. Therefore, one requires a Guru for direct guidance to cross the ocean of existence. The destination exists, but each must walk the path. "Without Gurudeva, we will not catch it, we will not get it." "If you wish to cross the ocean, be in the boat... The Gurudeva will bring you to the shore." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The journey of connection spans lands and lives, bound by a shared human spirit. Travels across Australia reveal vast landscapes, holy sites, and the importance of respecting sacred places. Disciples are found worldwide, maintaining connection across distances. The recent global difficulty affected many, yet the essential unity remains. All humans are one, beyond country or creed. We must cultivate humility, kindness, and non-violence. The body is temporary, cared for through practice, but it will pass. Concepts of eternal heaven or hell are human constructs; existence is a cyclical movement within divine space. Familial and spiritual bonds are profound. Parents and gurus hold sacred roles, with loyalty and respect being paramount. Our lineage connects us to the divine source, and a compassionate lifestyle aligns with well-being. "All are one: human. So we should all have friendliness." "God will not count white or black. God will not count like that. Only the human, and we should be humble and kind to each other."

Make your human life perfect through humility, service, and inner practice. Learn humility for yourself. Practice helping all humans and animals. Do not take, but give. We possess immense cosmic energy; we only need the will. We can go into ourselves and find endless happiness and peace, like the entire ocean. When we wake, our world is before us; we should give throughout the day. In sleep, we receive energy and everything from within. Our inner meditation is not to be attempted by oneself; it is a different technique from the Guru's lineage. Reflect: what is my life and for what purpose? We are all searching for the Guru on the path. Our physical practice, like Barikatu Pranam and Sarvahitasana, warms the body and returns the self to itself. It strengthens the system and regulates breath. Our lifespan is counted in breaths; we deepen them to inhale and exhale less often. Conclude by feeling your being within and offering mental devotion. "Learn humility for yourself. Practice helping all humans and animals." "We know our lifespan is counted with our breath... we try to prolong our breaths so we do not need to inhale and exhale so often." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A time for unity and caution requires spiritual progress. This period brings both celebration and sorrow. While many observe festive traditions, a global pandemic has caused immense suffering. Physical precautions like distancing are necessary for safety. Traditional greetings like namaste respect this need. All prayers, regardless of language or tradition, share a single essence. At death, the soul is liberated from the body and its distinctions. Concepts of heaven and hell are transient states, not permanent. Divine love is unconditional, like that of a parent. The inner light of the soul is universal and identical in all. Current practices must evolve toward deeper, inward meditation. An initiation will be offered to longstanding students to awaken their inherent divine nature, though self-knowledge remains incomplete. Persist in spiritual practice with faith. "Different countries, different traditions, different religions, different meanings—everything. But they are doing the same thing we are doing." "Yes, you are God. You are Guru. You are a disciple, but you still do not know what you are." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The singular path to the divine is universal, yet often obscured. Negative thoughts and worldly conflicts, especially in this age, create thorny obstacles. Merely visiting holy places or performing rituals is insufficient without inner purity. The essential guide is the Guru, who provides the key to clarity. Without this guidance, one remains lost despite all efforts. External appearances and religious labels are not the inner cloth of realization. True progress requires surrender to the master's direction. "Gurāsā bīnā kārīj naisarī"—without Gurudeva, no path will be clear. "I have colored you inside. You do not need the outer dress."

The horizon is within the Self. External knowledge is given, but one must know what one can give. Standing at the center, the paths are seen, yet direction is often unknown. The educated child seeks the distant horizon, believing it to be perfection, but it cannot be reached. The parent instructs the child to close its eyes on the mountain peak and look within, for the horizon is found there. Seeking externally leads far away; one must return to the Ātmā. Inside, all are one. The learned sage Nārada declared "I am Brahman" from a place of ego and fell, humiliated. Ego ensures a fall, while inner humility remains right. The horizon cannot be achieved externally; be limited and go within. The ego stops there. Many in meditation try to go outside, but the horizon is within the heart. "Close your eyes and look within thyself. That is your horizon." "When the ego comes, then be sure we will fall down." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Spiritual development is a universal journey guided by grace. We all seek the Cosmic Self, navigating between good and bad, often lost without a guide. The Guru's blessing is the key. A story illustrates this: three pilgrims traveled far to see the holy Ganges. A sage advised them to only accept food from those who had been there. Nearing their goal, they stayed with a sādhu who confessed he had never visited the river, breaking their vow. That night, three divine sisters—Gaṅgā, Yamunā, and Sarasvatī—appeared. They explained they carry humanity's sins, becoming black and burdened. They clean themselves through service at the Guru's feet, becoming pure and white. The pilgrims realized true purification comes not from a river, but from the Guru's presence. All holy places grant blessings, but ultimate clarity comes only through Guru's grace. "Wherever you stay overnight, in a village, city, or forest, you should eat and drink only in the house of those who have gone to the Gaṅgā." "We take all this dust, everything negative; it comes upon us... we go to the Gurujī's cottage... we do the seva... We become very white, beautiful, and we take dust from Gurujī's feet."

True devotion manifests as humility, removing all pride. Human brotherhood requires harmony, not conflict. Respect all paths while seeking unity. Great teachers like Mahāprabhujī and Devpurījī bestowed blessings and knowledge, leading many to happiness and prosperity. Their nature was divine and humble. Devpurījī, embodying Śiva, lived with utter simplicity, performing miraculous acts to teach. He once provided water from dry sand and restored a buried animal to life. These acts demonstrate divine grace accessible to the devoted. A proud king claimed no one suffered in his kingdom. God tested him as a beggar, revealing the king's hidden ego. The lesson is that pride blinds one to the divine presence. Therefore, never think "I am good." Abandon ego and negative speech. Cultivate humility, for God resides there. "One should never be proud and not think, 'I have everything.'" "Don’t say to anyone, 'Go away, you are a bad person.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The spiritual lineage is sustained by the name, not the physical form. Many seek the title of guru without honoring their own masters. True succession follows the guru paramparā. We worship divine names like Śiva and Viṣṇu, whose forms are unseen but whose names are eternal. The body perishes, but the name remains forever, carrying the lineage from the Brahmaloka. Divine principles like Śiva and Pārvatī exist in equal, non-dual unity, akin to two eyes that cannot see each other but function as one. The inner self, the ātmā, transcends the physical body and its temporary voice. True learning comes not from scholarship alone but from connection with a guru. Helping the elderly and disabled through practice is a supreme spiritual act, greater than pilgrimage. Simple yogic movements maintain mobility and strength. "The body will go. So when we say, let's say, Śiva, we don't know how he was, and so on, but still we remember the name of Shiva." "If we can help the elderly people, it is the highest holy place, more than helping the elderly people, more than going on pilgrimage." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice of yoga unites us with the cosmic self, fostering oneness among all beings. All traditions and religions aim for health and goodwill, especially during holy days like Christmas. These times invite reflection on the past year and prayers for future peace. The core teaching is that all existence is interconnected—humans, animals, and the living Earth. This unity is expressed through the five sheaths, from the physical to the blissful body. Yoga in daily life is this unifying practice from the Satya Yuga, a tool for joining, not dividing. Festivals and traditions worldwide are expressions of this spiritual unity. The ultimate realization is that everything is contained within the one, and the one is within all. "One in all and all in one." "Yoga means uniting. We are joining; we are not throwing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The observance of samādhi connects to ancient lunar cycles and the foundational numbers of existence. The system of nine numbers and zero underpins all counting, reflected in the 108 beads of the mālā. Human life is governed by such cycles and the guidance of Jyotiṣa, yet human counting is ultimately a limited construct. The bond of shared salt signifies sacred trust, a principle often broken in the current age. The Guru's grace is absolute and transcends physical departure, as demonstrated by the divine communion between Guru and disciple. The Guru's power is complete and beyond ordinary understanding. "Jala Dari Aab, Aṭhaṅga Jala Bhariya, Adh Bicha Chalarei Jaj, O Gurudev, my boat is in the middle of the ocean, and you left me. What will happen now?" "Guru is a guru. Guru can do anything."

The divine narrative of Rāma is a complete revelation of truth. Observing the Rāmāyaṇa allows one to perceive the divine play. When divine beings descend, they act within a veil, demonstrating right conduct without fully revealing their supreme nature. The name 'Rāma' contains the essence of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. The physical form is transient, but the divine name is eternal. Rāma entrusted Hanumān to remain and protect all devotees until the next cycle. Hanumān is therefore worshipped as the very presence of Rāma. The experience of the divine story evokes deep emotion, as reflected in the lament of a devotee feeling abandoned on a vast ocean. The practice of yoga maintains the body's health and flexibility, which requires dedicated effort. Quality of movement, with full awareness, is paramount. Gentle, conscious preparation of the neck, shoulders, and limbs creates a foundation for āsana and meditation, integrating body, mind, and consciousness. "The name will go on forever and ever. And that’s why Rāma—the Nāma, the name, not the body." "O my Gurudev, in the middle of the ocean... you go away, and only I am alone in this boat." Filming locations: Strilky, Czech Republic
