Practice leads to the development

Time is an illusion obscuring the ultimate oneness. We measure life by sun and moon, yet are disconnected from time's true nature. This running has no destination, neither here nor there. That state is Parabrahma, Paramātmā, Ātmā. We are tied to time and thus cannot grasp it. All is dust, movement, prāṇa, the body's sheaths. Therefore, only oneness exists: one in all and all in one. The path is yogic yoga, unifying body, breath, and the unmoving heart within our skin, nerves, and bones. We cannot control this internally, so do not seek meditation outside. The "I am" is questioned, placing us on the border of non-dual truth. Sanātana Dharma liberates, while other paths bind. Humans are bound by the body and karma. Ancestors require liberation through descendants performing duties; without this, they flutter without peace. Practice is the instrument for liberation. "Therefore, that is only oneness. It is the oneness: one in all and all in one." "The religion is not that which we are searching for in it, but that religion is that which does not bend us, but liberates us."

Mantra is in the Hearth

The path to realization requires surrendering the ego's claim to achievement. A sage constantly rebuilds his hut, finding purpose in the karma of work itself. A young disciple, Abhimanyu, seeks refuge with a strict Rishi. The Guru tests him through severe neglect, denying food, water, and shelter. Abhimanyu obeys without question, surviving on begged alms, then milk foam, then leaves, which blind him. Even when fallen into a well, his only concern is for his Guru's property and his duty to the cows. His unwavering devotion is finally recognized by the divine. True disciples embody this single-minded dedication, polishing the inner self through all yogas. Stories of saints like Mirabai and Tulsidas teach that devotion transcends all external dualities of gender or status. Jealousy and separation are obstacles; the goal is to become one with all. Inner purification is essential, moving beyond the body's temporary nature to realize the eternal oneness. "As long as we think that we will achieve that, it means we will not achieve it as we want to." "My Gurudev was feeding me three times a day. You don’t know. I got everything, and I was strong. I follow the words."

Be with your Guru

The essence of true spiritual transmission is carried in the bhajan, a pearl on the thread of voice, passing between master and disciple. A bhajan’s words are pearls from the ocean, and the voice is a fine thread. That pearl passes directly, without division, as a gift from master to disciple. The disciple then becomes master, offering pearl to pearl. Every such word vibrates through the whole body, stirring every cell like a pearl. Deep within, the ocean is still, though surface ripples move. The vibration travels the Suṣumṇā nāḍī, connecting all seventy-two thousand nerves. From the soles of the feet, a flower blooms, reaching the anāhata chakra. Only then can true bhajans arise. Satsaṅg with the real yogi is like dipping into a river. Each moment brings fresh water; the same stream cannot be touched twice. The guru breathes into the disciple, making scripture’s letters throb with life. Every page of sacred text becomes a living vibration. To receive this, one must enter the ashram, where mantric resonance abides. Superficial gatherings offer no such transmission. The direct link between master and disciple is a harmonium of balance and oneness. Without that living breath, only empty songs remain. “It is like dipping into a river—with that same river water we cannot dip a second time.” “The Guru will give from his breath. He will breathe into you, and then at any moment, what will come out? Not everything.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Atma

The nature of Ātmā, the path of Uṭhān and Patan, and the awakening of Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Ātmā is the same quality in all 8.4 million creations—an ant, an elephant, a human—just as a tiny fire stick and a vast forest fire share the same essence. This Ātmā is not separate from Paramātmā. Humans who eat meat exist in human form but not in that ātmā consciousness. The spiritual path is Uṭhān, going up through purity and humbleness. The other way is Patan, going down, sinking like one bound in the ocean. This choice is present in the sprouting seed of human life. Kuṇḍalinī Śakti is the force that upholds this Uṭhān and Patan. It is not a serpent and it is not merely sudden energy surges. Real awakening happens through the Guru’s grace. The three nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā—must be understood. True meditation is like a drop of ocean water falling back into the ocean; it becomes the ocean, no longer separate. The light seen in consciousness is not the physical sun or fire. Śiva himself emerges from a prior state where only space and consciousness exist, balanced and inscrutable. The original Prakāś, the divine light, precedes Agni, wind, water, and earth. The Vajrā Nāḍī is the root of Śiva, a subtle channel, not a physical object. The seven notes of divine sound originate from the cosmic ocean. Yoga is not mere āsana, prāṇāyāma, or forceful breathing. Do not sit in meditation all day. Be awake. Be jagrat. "The quality of the Ātmā, God has given to all 8.4 million creations." "Uthān, the spiritual purities, humbleness, is going as Uthān. Or going down, Patan." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Sing Bhajans Always

The power of bhajan surpasses intellectual discourse through vibrational harmony in the five elements. Bhajan enters every being because its tune balances the five tattvas into oneness. Lectures convey information, but bhajan transmits clarity even when words are lost. Through months of humble singing, no disease touched the community. Ego stands as the greatest obstacle. A king once ruled with care, calling his subjects his children. He commanded that none go hungry or unhappy in his domain. In time, pride crept in as he admired his perfect kingdom. One morning, a starving beggar appeared, wearing rags. The king offered food, gold, and riches, yet nothing satisfied the beggar. Distraught, the king asked who he was, and the beggar revealed himself as God. God said the king’s ego would make him a beggar in the next life. Pride in one’s goodness steals away spiritual grace. Ego manifests in small ways, like claiming the front row while pushing others back. True devotion is to be a servant, without claim. Do not delay: do tomorrow’s task today, and today’s task now. Sing bhajan constantly; mantras and holy verses from saints sustain the path. "A bhajan is that which enters into every human being, and also into many animals and birds." "What we have to do tomorrow, do it today, and what we have to do today, just do it now." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Guru Bhakti and Guru Mahima

The glory of the Guru and Satsaṅg is paramount. The Guru is identical to God. Divine incarnations manifest to protect righteousness and re-establish Dharma. The Guru removes the disciple's ignorance and bestows divine light. Satsaṅg is the company of truth. It acts as a hospital where saints cure mental impurities like lust and anger. It is a supreme university where saints impart divine knowledge. It serves as a high court where the Guru adjudicates and removes sin, guiding the soul. Satsaṅg brings peace and success. In this age, the Name and the Guru's guidance are the essential supports. The Guru's power transforms the disciple, unlike a philosopher's stone which merely changes metal. "Guru and God both stand before me. Whose feet should I touch? I am indebted to my Guru, for he is the one who showed me God." "In Kaliyuga, the only support is the Name. By remembering it, one crosses the ocean of worldly existence." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Practice according to your path

Yoga is the practice of union and the honoring of the guru. Yoga Day is marked on June 21st, introduced by Prime Minister Modi. Yoga means union, a coming together of elements. The body is a yoga of diverse components requiring health. Unity arises from integrating physical, mental, and spiritual bodies. On this day, practitioners should worship their guru and teach yoga. All yoga schools, like Sivananda or Yoga in Daily Life, must practice freely. No single embassy should monopolize yoga. Diversity prevents duality. Certificates are awarded after three to five years of training. Daily practice is essential. Practitioners should become teachers. Guru Purnima blessings will reach all disciples. Mental and spiritual practices complement physical yoga. The day is called the Day of the Gurudev. Gurus may wear any color, from saffron to black, without hierarchy. Practitioners worldwide should celebrate in their own traditions. The pandemic is receding, allowing collective practice. Time has come to awaken and engage in yoga. "If you do sarvahitāsana, one āsana, then it’s only yoga. But when you do two, then it’s yoga." "First, you should be like your master and teach all. That day will be called the day of the Gurudev."

Different Paths of Yoga

The one path of yoga integrates all practices into a singular journey toward the Self. Many paths exist, but the essence is one. True bhakti is not mere ritual; it is selfless service to all life, recognizing the divine within every creature. Humans have passed through countless lives, but the past is gone and the future is unknown. The present moment alone is real. Therefore, act now. God resides within all beings; thus, harming any life is harming the divine. The practice is to repeat the divine name, yet the lock is opened by a single seed. All yogas—Bhakti, Karma, Rāja, Jñāna—are contained within the whole, yet the path is endless. Do not merely learn from external sources; true knowledge unfolds from within. The mind is vast and potent, like the stars, but it must be mastered. Service is endless, and through selfless service, one realizes the guru's presence within. "Kāl Kare So Āj Kar. What you have to do tomorrow, do it today." "One in all and all in one."

Nabhi is Like a Seed

The path of prāṇa and the seven sages is revealed through the guru's grace, not dry knowledge. True understanding flows from the bindu as nectar into the nāḍīs. Many seek truth through religion, like searching for water behind a rock, yet the living God is found within. The jīva is a drop from the navel, containing the potential of the entire ocean. Prāṇa originates at the navel, the vital point sustaining life. The correct chant of Aum encompasses akār, ukār, makār, and the bindu, leading to sahasrāra. The seven ṛṣis are the seers of the mantras, corresponding to the seven chakras within. They are Viśvāmitra, Jamadagni, Bharadvāja, Gautama, Atri, Vasiṣṭha, and Kaśyapa. Their realized knowledge structures reality. "Where there is water, there is God. That is the Buddha jīva." "Ṛṣi means to attract. Who is attracting the holy mantras? They are the ṛṣis."

Sleeping of a Yogi

Yogī Janakī Yoga Nidrā is the rare yogi’s awakened sleep, a state beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Yoga Nidrā arises when a yogi is free of tension, anger, and tiredness. In that sleep, waking, dreaming, and deep sleep merge into oneness. The body rests, yet inner awareness remains fully awake. Such a yogi is rare—śānta, meaning one whose end is endless. Night turns into day for that yogi, for the inner sun awakens at the crown. This awareness is not external light but the inner Sūrya illuminating the void. The yogi makes a bed in the sky of emptiness, natural and effortless. Emptiness is not lack; it is complete fullness. Nothingness contains everything. The path is to become empty of all saṅkalpas, all thoughts good and bad. Then the fan of the unsupported moves, cooling without a breeze. This sleep is beyond material comfort—neither cold, nor heat, nor disturbance. The rare sannyāsī abides in this Yoga Nidrā, awake in the night of ordinary sleep. This is the teaching from Mahāprabhujī and Holy Gurujī. "yogī jana kī yoga nidrā viralā śānta jana jānī hai, usa nidrā meṃ jāgrata jāne, pūrṇa rātri meṃ divasa jāgānī hai." "śūnya meṃ sahaja vicāraṇā hai." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Rishis

Every day holds spiritual significance, and discipline is the foundation of practice. Specific days within a month are designated for worship. Fasting purifies the body and allows it to tap into cosmic energy. Worship acknowledges the divine presence from the very origin of life. The science of Jyotiṣa understands the influence of cosmic light and stars. Past actions cannot be changed, but the present moment offers a choice. Performing pūjā removes negativity and invites auspiciousness. True health and spiritual energy arise from disciplined observance, not from a scattered mind or overconsumption. "Health is the real wealth. Even if you don’t believe in God, fasting for a few days in a month is good for you." "Do you want that energy or just a full stomach? Discipline is key." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Life is Soul

The essence of devotion is found in following the Guru's words, which brings peace and harmony. The lineage originates from Alakh Purījī, who is inseparable from Śiva. One should not speak or chant excessively. A story tells of a Brahmin who constantly chanted God's name and a farmer who worked and remembered God simply. Upon death, God welcomed the farmer for his peaceful devotion but rejected the talkative Brahmin for being a disturbance. The core truth is that all life shares one soul. Nothing exists outside the self; everything perceived comes from within. True research is an inward journey into the heart. "All souls are one soul." "Nothing outside; what is there is within you."

We are all Brahman

The Mantra of Purification and the Four Stages of Life Spiritual knowledge arises through Guru’s grace, realized within the disciple. The Saptarṣis, the seven stars, embody Sanātana Dharma, which teaches love and protection for all creatures, not eating them. Vegetation too has value; every plant serves a purpose, as a disciple of Cārakya discovered. The path unfolds in four stages. Brahmacharya is exclusive study until twenty-five. Gṛhasthāśrama, from twenty-five to fifty, is the householder stage with family and livelihood. Parents educate children in academic and spiritual arts. Vanaprastha, from fifty to seventy-five, involves gradual withdrawal. After seventy-five, sannyāsa may be taken, living under a Guru in deep discipline. Yet sannyāsa can come at any time through vairāgya, complete detachment. Śaṅkarācārya became a sannyāsī as a young child. He taught that all are one, beyond caste. When he encountered Śiva disguised as an outcaste, he realized Brahman knows no caste. He attempted to touch those feet; the form vanished. Thus he composed bhajans to Śiva. The mantra Om Prabhudeep Niranjan Sabdukha Banjan purifies all tattvas. “vairāgya nai śwanī, agni tasāṅg, vairāgya nai vile, satsaṅg triyas kāenge.” “Om Prabhudeep Niranjan Sabdukha Banjan.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Union with the Ocean

Everything is within us. Everything we have is within our self, even the body. All beauty and blessings come from within. When we receive a message, it goes inside and then we give it out from within. Thus, all expression arises from the inner self. Practice of meditation, yoga, and daily tasks all come from within. True knowledge is like a pilot flying by instruments, not looking outside. The inner screen guides; the outer world is not the source. Even bees and fish move by an inner knowing. Devotion is surrendering heart, mind, and body to the divine presence inside. Hanuman’s hair vibrated with “Ram” because of his inner devotion. A drop of water, when merged, becomes the ocean. We must lose ourselves to become one with the infinite. Sanatana Dharma is eternal, present in everyone and the universe. Krishna is everywhere in feeling, not limited to form. The gopis knew this oneness through love. So we all meet in feeling and oneness. "In my heart there is a little cave, and in that is a blue, blue light, and that is the atma." "Whatever is within us, that we will give out, not from outside." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Awareness leads to a great result

Awareness is the first step to achievement, manifesting in three states: Jagrata, Suṣupta, and Svapna. These states are connected like beads on a rudrākṣa mālā. The mālā has 108 beads plus a Sumeru bead, representing the peak. The number 108 reduces to nine, the fundamental number in spiritual counting, mirroring the nine primary centers in the subtle body. This counting is not arbitrary but reflects the structure of the human system. The mālā is used with specific fingers, avoiding the index finger, to maintain the efficacy of practice. Awareness is not exclusive to humans; many animals possess great alertness. The three states correspond to wakefulness, deep sleep, and dreaming. True awareness means being conscious across all three states, fully present in the current moment without dwelling on the past or future. Numerology and cosmic timing influence life, as seen in practices like Jyotiṣa, but the core practice is cultivating constant alertness. "Be alert now, at this very moment. So don't think about tomorrow." "The past is lost, the future is not here—it is a dream."

We need purification

Purification is essential for spiritual progress, as an unpurified life yields no lasting fruit. Every spoken word fills one's being with energy. True practitioners possess peace, harmony, understanding, and love, irrespective of their life status. Chanting connects one to divine energy, yet the mind must be cleansed of ego and anger. This requires consistent effort and humility. Flexibility is key; like a tree's branches that bend with the wind, one must adapt to avoid breaking. However, strong roots of inner purity are vital, or the entire being can be uprooted. The human root is the mind; if it breaks, all is lost. Liberation is possible until the last moment. One's records of karma determine the future. Good deeds create good karma, and misdeeds create bad karma. Good karma does not accompany one but leads to rebirth in a favorable position. To be free, one must transcend both good and bad karma by performing selfless good actions and surrendering all to the divine. Spiritual pride is an obstacle. The soul is the same universal essence in all movable and immovable existence, though it assumes various forms based on karma. Do not create dualities of superiority, as this is ego, which destroys like a storm. One must work diligently toward complete unity. "Consider a big tree. A strong storm comes, and the wind blows. The branches should move with the wind. If they go with the wind, they will not break." "In the Bhagavad Gītā, it is said that the roots of trees go down, but the roots of humans, in the brain, go up." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

We are worshipping the living God

The essence of being human is living in harmony with all life. Humans currently face many disturbances, but most sincerely desire peace. To create harmony, one must practice humility and non-reaction, as taught by turning the other cheek. This principle extends to all creatures, as every being feels pain and shares the same essence of life. Historically, consumption of other creatures was only a dire necessity, accompanied by prayer. True yoga is not merely physical exercise but this state of oneness, kindness, and consideration for all—vegetation, water, animals, and people. It is the practice of living harmoniously, recognizing our shared existence, and acting with a humble heart. "If someone gives you a slap on your cheek, then offer them the other cheek." "Yoga means oneness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The best ways of learning

The essence of bhajan is concentration, meditation, and devotion. Bhajan is a resonant, collective listening. One form is the Doha, a two-line question and answer, ideal for spiritual learning. Other forms include drama and storytelling, which impart unforgettable knowledge from a young age. True learning is joyful and deep, unlike forgettable academic study which lacks heart. Knowledge must balance heart and brain. Stories teach this balance, illustrating that purity of heart, not wealth, defines true devotion. A story tells of a poor gardener who, offered vast sums for a garland, chose instead to give it to his guru, demonstrating that bhakti is surrendering everything. "Bhaj means to concentrate, to meditate, and to devote. That is bhajan." "That is bhakti. Who can have bhakti without bhakti?" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Jiva and the Universe

The cosmic balance: from self to creation. Humans have many thoughts but do not know who they are. No complete answer exists for where one comes from or where one goes. The mind cannot be fully explained by science. Yet the mind travels instantly—say “Jupiter” and it is already there. Beyond all elements there is śūnyakāśa, endless space, and consciousness. It is unknown whether the universe is within consciousness or consciousness within the universe. Balance exists between space and consciousness. Disturbance of balance causes disharmony in body, mind, or spirit. True yoga is not merely postures or breath control but the union of two into one. From the endless, Nāda—sound—emerges as vibration, then light as Śiva, then fire, air, water, earth. Light gives rise to life. Digestive fire creates hunger, leading to life eating life. But humans are called not to kill, but to sustain on fruits and milk. Killing is sin; non-violence is dharma. Love all beings, and the Brahmalokas are attained. “A human is meant to know God; God will not eat His own children.” “Love all living beings. Don’t kill them, don’t eat them, but feed them, love them.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Examples of yogic power and awareness

The teaching is One in All and All in One. Only one Holy Gurujī exists, Satguru Swami Mādhavānandajī. Yogic power is not limited to India; in Czechoslovakia, a yogi named Dritikkal instantly healed a cut by placing his hand over it. In daily life, the driver is the guru of the moment; one must remain alert and fully conscious like a yogi. Europe has many spiritual masters and steadfast religious spirituality among Christians and Muslims. In India, spirituality often appears only during birth, marriage, and death rituals. All water is one water, whether drawn from the Ganges, Danube, or any source. Dharma, humans, and yogis are likewise one. Many saints and healers work miracles across the world. Mahāprabhujī, as a young child, sat under a tree grazing cows and singing bhajans. A hunter approached to shoot a crane. Mahāprabhujī commanded him not to kill. The hunter fired his gun multiple times, but the bird remained untouched. Mahāprabhujī declared, “Whom God saves, no one can harm.” The hunter then renounced hunting forever, revealing divine power manifest in a human body. During satsang, silent alertness transforms each word into a pearl threaded on a mala of concentration. Respect your own dharma, and dharma will protect you in return. Do not be proud exclusively of your country; India’s earth is holy, yet every land is sacred to its people, and all are part of the one world. "One in all and all in one."

A good education is important

Discipline and care for shared property are essential spiritual practices. Negligence and littering, especially with plastic that harms animals, show a lack of respect and responsibility. Teachers, drivers, and students must be accountable for maintaining vehicles and facilities. Cleanliness reflects inner discipline. Learning extends beyond books to include culture, song, and respectful action. The environment of the ashram must be preserved. "Trust means we are trusting you to take care of our things." "Our ashram should not be dirty like that, and not only within our walls but outside our walls." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Sandhya is the time for spirituality

Sandhyā is the sacred meeting point, connecting light and darkness, form and the formless. This junction is essential for all life, as creatures and plants depend on the cycles of day and night. The practice of Sandhyā is a form of worship where one cultivates purity, avoiding negativity. Human spirituality navigates two paths: sākāra, worship with form, and nirākāra, the formless. Both are valid, yet the form provides a necessary foundation for most. Without the tangible—the mother, father, guru, or deity—the spiritual journey can become barren. True worship, though directed outwardly, is ultimately an honoring of the self. The goal is to move from darkness to light, but this requires the embodied experience. Qualities like knowledge, austerity, charity, character, and patience are essential for this journey. A story illustrates four types of people regarding wealth: those with it neither here nor in heaven; those with it only in heaven; those with it only here; and those blessed with it both here and there, gained through righteous living and generosity. "Sandhyā is a meeting between mother and child, and it is a meeting between mother and father." "Bhagavān said, 'as long as you cannot understand properly, then you should see the form.'"

The joy of Bhajans

The spiritual discourse addresses the emptiness of the bowl of divine love and the means to fill it. The devotee cries out, asking why the bowl of love remains empty. The divine court holds no deficiency. All who arrived at that door received everything. No one departed empty-handed. Saints like Mira, Narsi, Kabir and Tulsidas drank repeatedly from that cup. Yet the seeker still thirsts and waits. The teaching points to the formless, imperishable consciousness. That consciousness is the true guru within. Through steady meditation, the inner satguru reveals itself. The outer gurus reflect this inner eternal light. Grace flows through names like Sri Dip Narayan Bhagavan and Sri Madhavanandaji. Their presence signals the ever-full inner source. The bowl stays empty only while attention strays outward. Turning inward, love rains unceasingly. The nectar of love overflows when the heart meets the imperishable. Thus the prayer persists until direct realization dawns. "Jo tere darā āyā, sab kuch pāyā. Khālī gayā nahīṅ koī āpke gada se." "Prema amṛta Harī pehaḍā barṣe." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The teaching of the Saints

Detachment and the power of siddhis are taught through two stories. Guru Nanak gave a needle to a wealthy merchant. He asked him to keep it safe until next meeting. The wife warned of the Guru’s possible death and the karmic debt. The merchant rushed to return the needle. Guru Nanak questioned if he could take it to heaven. The merchant admitted he could take nothing. Guru Nanak asked why he accumulated wealth he cannot carry. The merchant understood and sold his excess property. He served the poor and built schools. The message is to do good karmas, not hoard. Shankaracharya defeated a king in debate. The king’s wife challenged him on love and worldly life. As a brahmachari, he could not answer. He left his body and entered a dead king’s body to gain experience. He returned and answered perfectly. This shows that with siddhi, tapasya, and guru bhakti, all is possible. "If you cannot take even a small needle with you, why are you accumulating so much?" "with true powers—with siddhi, deep tapasyā, and guru bhakti—one can accomplish anything."

The Essence of Life and the Path Within

The nature of life and its five sheaths is a profound mystery. Life is a beautiful miracle of creation that remains largely unknown. The earth itself is a living entity from which all creatures emerge. Yogic teachings describe human existence through the five sheaths and the five elements. The mind is a powerful force capable of instant travel across vast distances. Mastery of the mind is essential. The physical body, the Annamaya Kośa, is composed of the elements and will one day dissolve. The soul's journey thereafter is the great question. Intricate systems like the nerves within the body reveal a divine intelligence no scientist can replicate. True spiritual progress requires a steady, unwavering focus without creating mental confusion. Connection to the essence beyond the physical leads toward liberation. Modern life and education often lead to a loss of this deeper connection and feeling. "With our mind. Or we are in Sydney. Where is Slovenia and where is Sydney? How quickly we are there, from here to there." "Therefore, do not change yourself." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Removing the negative thoughts

Purify the mind through surrender and return to the ocean within. Reflect on daily activities: negativity from others enters consciousness, backbiting and negative thoughts arise. These affect the nervous system, then settle into heart, kidneys, liver. Birds release tensions by singing, the ocean by rising and falling. So come home, wash hands and feet or whole body to remove negative vibrations. Greet family members. Go to the altar and bow down. When bowing, impure things, negative thoughts, depressions leave the head. Through surrender, masters’ energy flows, giving peace. Then pray, surrendering all actions good and bad to God. Avoid ego, do not claim “this is mine”; otherwise negativity accumulates. Surrender means blessings can come from a holy book or a seat. Offer mantra, not material things. A frog in a hoof-print thinks it is the whole world, warned to jump into the ocean. The small ego is like that; open to peace and harmony, the ocean is within. The body will die, the soul has no foundation; so practice sādhanā. Sit, relax, do mantra, and come back to self. “When we bow down, all the impure things, all negative thoughts, all depressions leave our head.” “Sit down, relax, and do your mantra.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Remembering Mataji Swami Ma Yog Shakti

The path of devotion and the mystery of destiny are examined through life, death, and spiritual discipline. True devotion requires giving one's entire being to the goal of reaching Brahman. Heaven and hell, known as Svarga and Naraka, are not eternal states but temporary experiences within the cycle of rebirth. Human consciousness, distinguished by understanding, is often lost through attachment and ego, reducing one to animalistic feelings. Destiny operates beyond our control, as illustrated by ancient tales where efforts to avoid fate only ensure its fulfillment. The story of a devoted disciple's passing demonstrates that a life of strict discipline and humble service earns profound love and respect, which is reflected in one's final rites. The quality of one's end is earned through consistent love and respect, not through capriciousness. "Destiny is always like... we do not know where we are landing." "How will we see the last minutes of our life? And that we shall earn this." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Swara Yoga and the Brain

The spiritual path requires discipline and purity, not competition or pride. True greatness never announces itself. The foundational yoga of Patañjali begins with discipline, Atha yoga anuśāsanam. This practice is for holistic health, not physical competition. A primary obstacle is laziness and improper sleep. The brain requires adequate, quality rest to function clearly and support spiritual progress. Confusion often stems from a tired mind. One must align with natural rhythms: sleep deeply, rise early, and be active when awake. Life should be integrated, like yoga in daily life, following nature's example for harmony and consciousness. Spiritual growth depends on a calm, rested mind. "True greatness never announces itself." "The foundational step is discipline: Atha yoga anuśāsanam." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Body is important

The inquiry of yoga is the inquiry into the true self. Yoga is not merely physical postures but a deep exploration of consciousness. The body is composed of the five elements: space, air, fire, water, and earth. These elements do not die; they merely merge back into their source. Consciousness is not within us, nor are we within it; the relationship is beyond that duality. The self we typically identify with is like an onion: when all layers are peeled, no permanent core is found. We are a temporary combination of elements. The human condition uniquely involves both purity and impurity, good and bad deeds. A story illustrates that without true knowledge, even well-intentioned help can be misguided. Therefore, one must go within through meditation. Begin each day with gratitude and recognition of the elements. Do not assume you know the duration of your life. Your true guide, like the essence of your parents, is always within you. The essence of yoga is to realize you are not the body or the mind, but the awareness that witnesses it all. "Who are you? It’s just temporary, you are with the five elements." "Therefore, go within thyself and meditate and meditate." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Bhajans are Divine

The dark moon marks the final milestone for humanity's spiritual journey. Tomorrow is amavasya, the dark moon night, followed by the new moon. The moon is nearest to Earth and exerts effects. Some see the moon as a stone, others as divine. Yet its influence now touches only humans, not vegetation, animals, or the ocean. Humans consider themselves intelligent, free from death and rebirth. But this moment is the last milestone leading to the supreme cosmic state, Brahman. Without focus and interest, that milestone becomes the first of a long fall backward. The fall means regressing through countless lives. Thus, this last stone mile is crucial. One must hold on and step forward. A story tells of a thick man denying God who crossed against the red light. His thin friend hurried across, but the truck struck the thick one. The friend called “catch up” like ketchup, mocking the fate. Those who reduce the moon to mere stone and trust intellect alone will slide back. Others will reach the final milestone. Diseases arise from human creation; simplicity and love for all creatures are needed. Bhajans and satsangs help maintain that simplicity. “The moon’s effect is on humans, but not on vegetation, animals, or the ocean. Why is it on the human? This is a very interesting thing.” “This last stone mile is very, very important and the very best for us. But we have to hold on and come and step into that.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Bliss of Bhajans

Kriyā yoga is the path to divine consciousness through mindful action and awareness of the five tattvas. All activity is kriyā—walking, eating, working, even sleeping. The body is the Annamaya Kośa, where thoughts and desires arise. Walking is a divine act that energizes every cell, bringing vitality. In nature, birds sing in harmony, not in chaos. Singing bhajanas in satsaṅga unites all into one through love of God. Yoga is not acrobatics but gentle stretching and awareness of muscles and organs. Interlocking fingers and stretching overhead nourishes the shoulder blades and joints. The whole body, from fingers to hip joints, extends, releases tension, and becomes happy. This stretching becomes knowledge, long life, and a direct feeling of the divine. Sleep comprises three states: waking, dream, and deep sleep. The transitions between them are subtle; to know them is to be a great yogī. The act of falling asleep and reawakening is itself a kriyā to be observed. Concentration is fleeting—the mind flickers like a flame. Like the flame of a lamp, it wavers and never rests. In conversation, the mind wanders, and concentration breaks unexpectedly. Only through the guru’s grace can the rosary of thoughts be stilled and absorption occur. "Kriyā means movement, actions, doing something. Even deep sleep, this is also kriyā." "When we are stretching the whole body, that is the life, that is the knowledge, that is the yoga, that is long life, and we are going to God." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Discipline and Disciple

Yoga is the path from darkness to light, a union of body, mind, and spirit. The physical body is the essential vehicle; without it, nothing can be achieved. Yoga is not merely exercise but a science for the entire being. It originates from Śiva, who manifested in meditation. The practice is codified in Patañjali's first teaching: "Atha yoga anuśāsanam," meaning "Now, the discipline of yoga begins." This instruction must be accepted immediately and integrated into one's life. All action performed with the physical body is karma yoga; it is not separate from spiritual practice. True learning requires unwavering dedication, as demonstrated by those who overcome great obstacles for knowledge. The divine play of Kṛṣṇa illustrates the omnipresent nature of the divine, while stories like the gopīs' dresses symbolize the consequence of neglecting spiritual practice: the loss of the human form. The ultimate aim is to transcend attachment through dedicated practice and knowledge. "Therefore, everything comes through the body, and the body is something like a steering wheel." "Yoga, Atha yoga Anuśāsanam. Athaḥ, just now, not tomorrow and not in five minutes." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Jivatma, Atma, Paramatma

The inner marriage is the union of the soul with the Supreme through yoga and chakra awakening. The soul, jīvātmā, passes through countless births before attaining human form. Even in human life, separation remains until union with Paramātmā occurs. This union is like a drop of water held in the palm, separate from the ocean. When the drop merges back, it becomes one with the ocean—neither you nor I, only the ocean itself. That oneness is the marriage, never again separated. The body contains chakras, power centers that begin in the legs. From foot to ankle is the earth chakra, ankle to knee vegetation, knee to hips animal energy. Then the spinal chakras arise: Mūlādhāra at the base, followed by Ājñā, Bindu, and Sahasrāra. Mūlādhāra is the root, where Gaṇeśa dwells as an elephant with seven trunks, representing the seven bodily minerals. Kundalini is not a snake but a great energy circle; improper awakening leads to confusion. Kriyā yoga, transmitted through the guru-paramparā, guides the soul through these chakras. The practice called "Svasu Svas" works with all chakras. Hidden powers reside in the body, like a spark that can become a great fire. True saints may appear ordinary, so respect all. Many paths exist, but the essence is oneness. "The drop of the ocean is the ocean. And that is the Paramātmā; for that Paramātmā we are going." "Kundalinī is only one; we call it a circle. But people call Kundalini a snake, yet it is not a snake." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Knowledge is Endless

Knowledge is an eternal flow, without end, known as Sarasvatī. Sarasvatī brings positive understanding, peace, harmony, and vidyā. Vidyā springs forth endlessly in consciousness, not merely from past study. Stopping learning means being lost; one continues like flowing oil. Memory connects past, present, and future, and some rare beings awaken past knowledge through the Guru. Even sweeping is vidyā, but ego—ahaṅkāra—blocks true learning. All languages and peoples gather like clouds, contributing to one whole. Fifty-two letters exist, within which Kuṇḍalinī Śakti resides. Principal cakras include Mūlādhāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, Maṇipūra, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, Ājñā, Bindu, and Sahasrāra. The sound Oṃ rises from the navel to Sahasrāra and returns through the nostrils. The Satguru Chalīsā embeds the key of all alphabets, pointing to pure wisdom. Pure wisdom is śuddha, buddhi, and jñāna—purity, intellect, knowledge. This wisdom stands above Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśvara. Yogic knowledge seeks the cosmic Self, beyond worldly science. Kriyā Śakti is the power behind every action; balance must be maintained. Without Sarasvatī, beings become like animals. "Knowledge has no end. That is why we call it the Devī Sarasvatī." "The river can have curves, but not the water. Similarly, the vidyā, the knowledge, constantly moves further." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The love of animals

Mantra chanting brings peace and harmony, transcending language barriers. Chanting mantra first, in any language, generates profound peace and harmony. Speech arises from vocal cords, yet "Om" or "Arihom" expresses the same divine reality. Sacred rivers like Gaṅgā and Yamunā flow from Brahmaloka as purification for all beings. These waters sustain humans, animals, birds, fish, and vegetation. Mother Earth holds water inside, even when surfaces seem dry. Animals have no concepts of dharma and adharma; they know neither sin nor righteousness. Yet animals possess immense love, feel joy, and can make humans very happy. In nature, a tiger allows a bird on its head, but humans rarely receive such trust. Animals eat enough and do not kill afterwards; they do not hoard food. Human inner energy often brings fear, anger, jealousy, and pain. Kuṇḍalinī sādhanā focuses on understanding the body, chakras, and nerve systems. Each chakra has petals revealed through the Satguru Chalisa. Strengthening the nervous system is essential for inner transformation. True happiness means being happy and making others happy too. Inner problems like addiction can destroy a person from within, burning down home and life. Protect honey bees; without them, there is no pollination and no fruits. Without bees, children will only see honey in pictures. Protect birds; pesticides and poisons kill them, and their songs disappear. Thus, sādhanā combines mantra, compassion for animals, and kuṇḍalinī awakening. "Language does not matter; one says 'Om' and another says 'Arihom', yet all is the same." "Animals don’t know this. But they have love—so much love." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Prayer and Bhajans

A meditation on oneness with the Guru lineage and the divine. We make praṇām and mantra in this āśram. Feel each cell, hair, heartbeat, breath. Dedicate them to God, Gurudev, and the lineage. We are connected with this Guru Paramparā. Our saints are aware we are His children, devotees, prāṇa of prāṇa. Inhaling is prāṇa of paramparās, exhaling releases negativity. We pray for each intensity, each entity. We are all one God’s vibration. Feel thyself within, one with all living beings, vegetation, ocean, space, and beyond. Feel oneness with Śiva, that Śiva's prāṇa is with us. Open eyes, rub palms, place hands on face, first see within. God leads us on the right way. People worldwide practice yoga, our yoga is in their life. Practice wherever you are. Blessings to everyone. Tomorrow, we will be with you again. "We all are connected with this Guru Paramparā... we are the prāṇa of the prāṇa." "Feel thyself within, one with the whole living beings, including the vegetation, the ocean, the life in the ocean, in the space, and beyond." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The guidance for us is Gurudev

The only path is grace of the Guru, and the inner self is the true guru. Mantras are for all who suffer. Surrender to Gurudev. Holy Guruji’s words are truth and power. People often demand harmful things, yet he blesses. Guru’s grace alone is essential. The body is a network beyond imagination. The ātmā within controls and monitors everything. Without grace, no progress is possible. The Guru provides navigation, like a pilot trainer. Disobedience is self-cursing. The inner self is the guru. But humanity has forgotten. An outer Guru is necessary to learn. Meditate within the body, not outside. The ṛṣi’s curse and Rāma’s liberation show transformation’s science. Without grace, people are lost like animals. All is sustained by the ātmā’s control. “Guru Kṛpā He Kevalam, Guru Kṛpā He Kevalam, Śiṣya Ke Ānand Maṅgalam.” “The Gurudev provides navigation. The Gurudev says: go there, don’t go there, go this way. But if you say, ‘No, I will go that way,’ then you curse yourself.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Performing puja at home

The true temple resides within, ever open through genuine devotion. When outer temples close, the home becomes sacred space if worship is heartfelt. Continuous inner awareness of the divine brings oneness with God. Many visit temples only in times of need, pleading for help without surrender. Such prayer lacks humility and true offering. Examine the reverence in Sikh tradition: they cover the head, remove shoes, sit humbly before the Guru Granth Sahib. The holy book is revered as the manifest Guru. Every member rises before sunrise to read and bow. No one enters bareheaded; the five sacred symbols mark commitment and readiness. Inner devotion requires no outer temple if the heart bows deeply. Yet many lose their religion through neglect of such respect. The Guru is not for attachment; all are equal. Bhakti expresses through selfless service, not demands. The body is one with many parts; so too the community of devotees. When one part hurts, the whole attends. Thus, all bhaktas, disciples, and gurus unite as one. In the holy feet of the Gurudev lie all pilgrim places. “When you truly perform sādhanā and praṇām with genuine feeling, then your house itself becomes that temple.” “In the holy feet of the Gurudev are all thousands and thousands of holy pilgrim places.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Living a human life

The eternal source of knowledge is found in the ancient Vedas and the path of work. This wisdom originates from the Himalayas, given by sages since the beginning of time. The Vedas and Upanishads contain the complete science of life, defining what a human should and should not do. Humans emerged from 8.4 million life forms with the unique capacity to understand this divine knowledge. Yet, many neglect this gift, engaging in negativity, violence, and harming other beings. This ignorance leads to suffering. True knowledge is an inexhaustible source, like a perennial spring. One must actively seek it through study, yoga, and guru devotion. Work itself is worship. A human life is long and meant for diligent labor until one's duties are complete. Do not cause pain to any living creature. Return to the scriptures; their wisdom reveals itself anew with each reading. "Read the Bhagavad Gītā. You can read the same thing one year later, and you will have new knowledge." "Work, work, work is worship."

The power of the mantras

The discourse centers on non-violence as the highest spiritual duty and the power of a divine mantra to alleviate suffering. The vibration of sacred hymns from great saints like Ādiguru Śaṅkarācārya resonates through modern technology. Closing the eyes and meditating, one feels the presence of these saints within. Human beings possess immense greatness, but negative thoughts and harmful actions lead to regression. The pain of all creatures, not just humans, must be recognized. Slaughtering animals inflicts suffering equivalent to having one’s own limbs cut off. Therefore, the ancient seers proclaimed non-violence as the supreme duty. This teaching is confirmed in the Mahābhārata when Bhīṣma, lying on a bed of arrows, instructed the Pāṇḍavas. He declared that never committing violence is the highest principle. Violence includes killing, torturing, and causing harm. Moreover, the eater who requests an animal’s killing bears the greater sin. Non-violence is positive; violence is negative; one should see oneself in the place of every creature. Many act unknowingly, trapped in habit, but countless others abstain from killing. For those in pain or illness, a specific mantra brings health. The mantra given by Gurudev is Om Prabhudip Niranjan Sabaduka Bhan. Practicing this mantra daily in the home removes all problems. The seed of devotion yields fruit across generations, sustaining spiritual growth. “Ahiṃsā paramo dharma.” “Oṁ Prabhudīp Nirañjan Sabadukā Bhan.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The mantra RAM

Invoke peace through the divine name and the inner journey. The resonance of Rāma's name moves energy from the navel to the heart, to the throat, and upward to the crown, bringing peace to one's entire universe, home, and all beings within it. This peace must permeate every particle of the body and extend to family and the whole world, fostering harmony and health. The divine example shows care for all creatures. True power and oneness are found not outside but within the self, encompassing all the sheaths of being. From the root to the crown, see the divine in everyone. Love, residing in the heart, is the essence of peace, understanding, and care. All beliefs and divinity are found within the heart. Dedicate time to this inner light, giving peace to all and causing no trouble. Look within to the self and the supreme self. "Within every particle of my being, let my mother and father be happy." "Feel yourself that you are, you are the light of God, and God has sent you here."

The importance of the traditions

Satsaṅg is the true path, more vital than pilgrimage to holy rivers. Today is Guru Pūrṇimā, also honoring Buddha's enlightenment. Various faiths maintain holy days and disciplines, though adherence often falters. True devotion requires unwavering resolve, not merely calling upon deities in distress. Intellect is the divine gift distinguishing humanity; without it, one remains like an animal. Regular satsaṅg uplifts, while bad association degrades. Spiritual resolve is the essential guide. "Sā janavāle lāge sadāhī satsaṅg." "Kuṣaṅga will destroy you and will make you again into the animal’s life." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Story of Sri Pukraji Maharaj

True devotion arises from the heart, not from scholarship or possessions. A disciple's sincere prayer, born from inner experience, holds great power. The Guru's grace provides everything needed for the devotee's life and spiritual progress, often in unexpected ways. Formal education is not a prerequisite for divine connection or composing sacred poetry. What matters is humility, goodness, and the authenticity of one's heart. Even at life's end, the repeated name of the divine eases the soul's passage, transcending all worldly identities and religious distinctions. "Gurujī gave everything, but Gurujī did not give you from the pocket." "Without Gurudev, we can run away, we can do many things."

One in All and All in One

The power of Om and the guru’s grace is the path to light and liberation. Faith is a powerful energy. The Om Prabhu mantra, given by Gurudev and Mahaprabhuji, is supreme. Om is eternal, bringing light and peace. Om Prabhu Deep Niranjan means pure light that removes all suffering. It is the mantra of Hanuman. Chanting it in the heart dispels pain and negative thoughts. Running after many teachers without faith leads nowhere. The guru can be strict to correct the disciple. A young man said “arre yaar” to the guru and was sent away. Such disrespect must never be spoken. Only one Brahman exists, one guru in many bodies. The orange robe is the fire of renunciation, alive in Sankaracharya. Never imitate the guru’s actions; follow his words. Only through guru’s grace does joy arise. Chant Om Prabhu Deep Niranjan to heal all. “Om is eternal; there is nothing higher than Om.” “Guru kripa he kevalam — only by Guru’s grace, then you will have confidence.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Yoga Sadhana

Sādhanā is the essential science for returning to the divine self. Yoga is not for material gain but for cosmic union. This practice requires dedicated effort, not mere discussion. Many approach spiritual life with worldly attachments, but only those who sit and practice sincerely remain. The true treasure is not material wealth but the inner wealth gained through sādhanā. The body is merely a vehicle; one must not identify with it. The mind must be purified and guided, like managing unruly horses pulling a chariot. A master shapes a disciple as a potter shapes clay, with care and support, but a flawed vessel may be broken and remade. All beings are part of a greater flow, like stones in the Ganga. Ego is fragile and must be surrendered to become a light for the Guru. "Sādhanā cara karo Hari pyārā, jinse pāo hogā tere ānanda apārā." "Your brain, your head, your thoughts, your thinking, all should be pure and clear." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Origin of the Spiritual Science

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. There are many-many technics like Kriya Shakti, Pranayama. Value of these sometimes forgotten. True stories about the mountains of the Himalayas. Some Rishis are transferring this knowledge into the present. Performing pujas, following ceremonies, is not a question of religion, it is a question of purity.

Blessing of the Saints

The essence of yoga extends beyond the self to the preservation of life. Some saints simply radiate peace, residing in huts or caves. Human activity now destroys the mountains and rocks that are our life, drilling deep and cutting them away. Rivers that once flowed from these rocks are now dry. The roots of mountains, like tree roots, seek and channel water for all vegetation. We see the result where great trees once stood by rivers; now there is nothing. People fight for water, yet dams are built for fish, destroying forests. Water is life; where there is water, there is God. True spirituality means saving trees, vegetation, and water sources. It is not mere physical exercise but protecting the globe. "Water is life. Water itself is life." "Yoga and spirituality are not only about yourself. What about others?"

Nature of a Sadhu

Compassion is the essential root of spiritual life and practice. The true self is of the nature of pure consciousness and bliss, beyond all dualities and attributes. Service and meditation upon the guru's grace are the supreme support for liberation from karma. Sattvic thoughts and devotion purify the body and mind, advancing spiritual development. A genuine saint embodies humility and sees only the good. One must not abandon compassion while life remains in the body. Spiritual practice involves unwavering devotion and a pilgrimage of the heart, seeking divine union beyond mere physical travel. Do not speak harsh words or depend upon others, but rely on the truth within. The world is a transient illusion; hold fast to devotion and truth to attain liberation. "Dharma’s root is compassion. The root of sin is pride." "This world is the māyā of the dream. It is just like a dream." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Think over your wish

In Kali Yuga, humanity chases prosperity and wealth, forgetting all is transient. We enter this world with closed fists and depart with open hands, leaving everything behind. Even powerful beings and deities are not permanent. A story illustrates this: a demon sought immortality and a power to burn anyone he touched. When he tried to test this power on Shiva, Shiva fled. Vishnu, through cleverness, tricked the demon into dancing until he destroyed himself. This shows the folly of arrogant desires. All pursuits of "I" and "mine" lead nowhere. True peace comes from humility, kindness, and recognizing the divine in all. Protect your inner peace first, as on an airplane you secure your own oxygen mask before helping others. The essence is devotion to the Guru, whose name should be chanted with every breath, merging the disciple's consciousness with the divine guide. This path leads beyond worldly knowledge to pure awareness. "One day we will go empty. What does this mean?" "Your mantra must be with you at all times." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Bindu Chakra

The Bindu Chakra and the disciple's path are examined. The Bhrāmarī Bindu is a focal point, located on the head and associated with the navel. There are three types of disciples, likened to worms. The first abandons the path quickly. The second is inconsistent, coming and going. The third is steadfast, seeking to transcend. The Bindu is connected to the Sahasrāra and is only opened at death through the kapāla kriyā ritual. The navel is the center of the universe within the being. True spiritual knowledge is not gained quickly through shortcuts or distant teacher trainings; it requires a genuine, long-term commitment under a guru's grace. Many offer teachings, but not all convey the essential key. The relationship between guru and disciple is profound and humble, forming one spiritual family. "A real disciple will not go like that." "You cannot get it in one week." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
