Vishuddhi chakra and psychic balance

The Viśuddhi Chakra governs purification and expression. All energy centers are given for our well-being, but our way of life and thinking affect them. Human manipulation of nature and ourselves creates imbalance, disturbing these centers. Yoga is designed for universal well-being and is an immortal practice. Your life is in your hands; you must care for the system given to you. Develop human qualities and realize life's aim. Our own negative thinking is the primary source of disturbance, imprisoning us in fear and anger. Releasing tension, ego, and greed allows the Viśuddhi Chakra to function properly. This chakra is connected to Śiva consciousness and is a station of transformation. Practices like Vajrāsana and mantra help activate it. Deep breathing and the mantra "relax" can open it, bringing clarity. Pure love, as felt for a child, is akin to divine love and is essential for healing. "Never think like that. Accept. There is no other way." "Be the change you want to see." Filming location: Umag, Croatia DVD 484

Science of sapta bhumika

Today marks the divine incarnation of Kṛṣṇa, a day of cosmic light and universal love. Among incarnations, Kṛṣṇa's was the highest. A future incarnation is awaited to remove the negative forces of this age. God incarnates whenever righteousness declines, to protect devotees and destroy negativity. Human greed now causes immense suffering. Kṛṣṇa's birth was amidst great peril, saved by divine intervention. His story illustrates the conflict between divine compassion and demonic qualities like anger and jealousy, which reside within people. The day signifies divine mercy and the hope for blessings. However, humans now manipulate nature, leading to suffering and imbalance. Destiny is shaped by one's own actions, and the cosmic law determines the soul's future journey. Spiritual development begins with cultivating pure desire and positive thought. One must choose the path of upliftment over distraction, fostering good for all. "Whenever righteousness declines and unrighteousness rises, I incarnate to protect the good, uplift dharma, and destroy negative forces." "Destiny is created by one's own self. Mother and father can give birth, but they cannot give you destiny." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 481

Navabda Bhakti II

Āsana is a comfortable, steady seat for meditation, creating a protective personal space. Patañjali's Yoga Sūtra outlines a scientific path for self-mastery. The term āsana also refers to the mat or cloth one sits upon, ideally natural and personal. Physical postures, often called asanas, are psychosomatic movements to be practiced gently, differing from strenuous sport by conserving and generating energy. Their purpose is to prepare the body to sit motionless, allowing the mind to become still and withdrawn from the senses. This mastery leads to santoṣa, or contentment, the greatest inner wealth that renders all material possessions insignificant. True happiness arises from accepting one's destiny and surrendering all outcomes to the divine. The practice culminates in īśvara praṇidhāna, the surrender of everything to God. "Āsana means comfortable posture where your body feels comfortable." "When the santoṣa, the wealth, is awakened in your heart, then all other worldly wealth is dust for you."

This is the planet of love

The world is sustained by universal love, which flows through nature, saints, and spiritual practice. Without devotion, the heart is hard and one cannot truly help others. Human love is limited, but a greater love exists in all creation and through the blessings of holy beings. This planet is a family of the one Creator, made from the same five elements, so happiness and peace are universal rights for all beings. The path begins with satsaṅg, which purifies consciousness and awakens discrimination. Through satsaṅg, one learns to relinquish individual consciousness to merge with God consciousness. This requires overcoming destructive attachments like desire, jealousy, anger, and pride. Karma yoga, performed selflessly while remembering God, burns past karma and is essential. True devotion means wishing good for all, leading to oneness. "Without love, this world is just a dry rock." "Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion, the yoga of that universal love, means to wish good for all." Filming location: Gujarat, India DVD 479

Life is a Problem, Yoga is Solution

Yoga is the practical solution to the inner restlessness and external problems of human life. The world is imperfect, but the true self, the Ātmā, is eternal and detached from all problems. Life is a changing journey, and attachment to this world is temporary. Great sages discovered a path through this mortal world back to oneness with the universal One. This path is yoga. Practice begins with physical postures, āsanas, done slowly to scientifically influence the body, the temple of the self. Next is breath, prāṇāyāma, which purifies and regenerates the body's systems, leading to relaxation and mental calm. Concentration follows, observing thoughts and actions without manipulation to improve memory and overcome fear. Meditation is a state of being where negativity is filtered out, supported by mantra. One must also manage diet, environment, behavior, and thoughts for self-protection. For restless energy, karma yoga or physical activity creates positivity. All problems originate within the individual; therefore, peace, health, and liberation begin with one's own practice and understanding. "Waves will be waves as long as there is motion, but one day those waves will merge into the ocean." "Peace begins from your own heart, and health begins from your own efforts, and realization will begin also with your own practice." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India DVD 473

Oneness with the divine through ajapa

The origin of existence is found within the heart. I found happiness near my master and realized oneness. The entire creation is like waves in the Supreme ocean; we must become one with it. We all search for our origin, which is love and true happiness. Worldly happiness is a temporary reflection. The origin is not found externally. It is within your breath, expressed as so'ham. Our life here is temporary, like checking out of a hotel. In meditation, the waves of emotion calm. We must surrender to a power greater than ourselves. Mantra practice purifies the inner instrument. The aim is Ajapa japa, where practice happens spontaneously like breath. The heart is our loyal friend and the location of the Ātmā, the eternal indescribable Self. Advanced practice leads to Bhāva Samādhi and then sahaja samādhi, where knower, knowledge, and object merge. In true union, like a drop in the ocean, there is no separation. One story tells of a king who tested his courtiers by entering savikalpa samādhi, appearing dead, to see if they would follow his final wishes. They planned to deceive him, proving their falsity. The lesson is to renounce and give. "Where are you searching me, oh my friend? I am with you." "The entire creation is the waves of the Supreme, and we have to become one with those waves again."

Ajapa jap and seva bhav

The essence of spiritual life is Bhāva, meaning devotion, emotion, and value. Your gain or loss is in the bhāva, not the object itself, just as profit comes from a gold price change, not the gold. Your bhāva toward God, master, and all relationships is your true power and wealth; if it fluctuates, you lose. Therefore, ensure your devotion grows daily. Spiritual life is a struggle where every step holds danger from negative thoughts and speech. Do not listen to, speak, or see negativity. Observe silence for protection. The greatest practice is Sevā Bhāva, selfless service without expectation, which merges with Prem Bhāva, unconditional love that radiates and cannot be hidden. Where love and service unite, God works for you, taking on the devotee's duty, as illustrated in the story of the devoted barber whose service caused divine intervention. Strive to realize these states. "Naफा bhāv meṁ hai, vastu meṁ nahīṁ. The benefit is in the price, not in the goods." "Prem chupāyā na chupāyī, prem kare prakāś. You cannot hide the love. Because love radiates." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 471

Cup of love

Ajapa Japa is the final stage of mantra practice, where it proceeds without effort. The mantra permeates consciousness and becomes a bīja mantra, functioning automatically within you. You will not see or feel your spiritual progress. If you feel spiritual and special, that is your ego. The humbler you are, the higher you rise. Pride in position or education is ignorance and ends progress. Be like a fruit tree whose branches bend down, allowing others to partake. If you hold authority, you should help others. Ego is a problem when it exceeds your position. You owe something to your motherland; help your people and do not forget your roots. You will not feel your development, but you will feel an increasing urge to practice. This is like an addiction, but to the divine, and it will not harm you. The essence of all paths is love. Earn divine prosperity, not just worldly wealth. The bīja mantra grows within and leads consciousness toward samādhi, where knowledge, knower, and object merge into oneness. This requires absolute discipline and practice. "I did not see the yogī meditating outwardly. So how is he a yogī? It is because the ajapa is functioning inside." "The more humble and lower you are, the higher you rise." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 470

We need a blessing

The spiritual path requires a master's guidance and blessings to avoid the pitfalls of ego and negative influences. Beginning practice is itself a miracle, but progress demands humility. Disciples often mistakenly believe they no longer need guidance, akin to a driver dismissing a teacher. This error mirrors the story of Kaṁsa, whose inflated ego, fed by flattery, led him to betray his saintly father and ultimately suffer. Seeking blessings from parents or a guru is not about control but ensuring well-being and success. Modern rejection of this principle, like fixating on legal adulthood, contributes to widespread unhappiness and fractured families. Always consult and seek permission from elders; their blessing is a necessary protection. A stable relationship often blends partnership with parental care, and devotion means humble surrender. Even when a master says you know what to do, asking first secures the blessing that guides action. "One day they will be sorry. They did not understand what the guru principle is." "Anything I did, I always asked Holy Guruji... That was a permission and blessing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 469

Mantra and mind

The mind is the driving force, a principle distinct from common understanding. It is the coordinator between conscious and subconscious levels, translating sensory impressions into desires and expectations. This world is a creation of the mind; your reality appears as your mind wills. Happiness or loneliness are its games. If not given purposeful work, the mind becomes a destructive ghost, generating endless thoughts that cause suffering. The sense of "my-ness" (mamatā), along with longing and craving, are the roots of all trouble. Therefore, you must train the mind through mental mantra repetition. Use the mālā to keep it engaged, like commanding a ghost to climb up and down a tree—here, the spinal column. In meditation, direct the mind's ascent and descent along this axis. Without this discipline, the mind wanders to desires and restlessness, leading you into darkness. Practice the mantra continuously to find inner peace and overcome loneliness, for your true longing is to realize the Self. "mano mātra jagataḥ—the whole world is created out of the mind." "Mamatva he dukhaṅkā kāraṇa hai—this sense of 'my-ness' is the cause of many troubles." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 467

Glory of mantra

Mantra is a divine, potent energy requiring strict discipline and selfless intent. Mantra is the resonant source of life and liberation. Specific mantras exist for purposes like curing snake bites or relocating bees, but this wisdom is transmitted orally and requires pure, selfless service without any material exchange. If used for gain, the power vanishes. Spiritual powers, like walking on water, function only with humility and vanish with ego. Mantra practice begins with total discipline—physical, mental, and spiritual. You request a mantra; you never order it. Selfish or jealous intent ensures failure. Your destiny is pre-written by Vidhātā based on your karma, and no one, not even divine incarnations, is exempt from this record. Life is a river flowing between positive and negative banks toward the ocean of origin. Use mantra carefully, as you would a knife or fire, for it can heal or harm. Liberation comes through purification, positive thought, universal love, and forgiveness. "Therefore, mantras should be spoken in detail, in a beautiful way." "If you do not follow the principles, if you do not follow the Guruvākya (the Guru's word), then that wisdom will just disappear from you, as if you never had it."

Be an utam disciple

Mantra, Śvara Yoga, and the nature of discipleship are interconnected practices. Each planet possesses a mantra for specific sādhanā during its influencing periods. Master one thing to master all; a single mantra, deity, and guru are the path. Mantra practice involves writing, singing, and silent repetition. Śvara Yoga sādhanā controls the breath flow through the nostrils, aligning with the iḍā and piṅgalā nāḍīs connected to the solar plexus. This practice removes fear and prepares consciousness. It requires knowing not only how but when to change the breath, just as a driver knows when to change gears. Incorrect practice can negatively affect the body. The process moves from the form of the letter, to the sound, to the inner resonance where the sound is recognized as the self. The story of the Brahmari wasp illustrates transformation through sound. The wasp finds a worm and, through repeated injections and the constant sound it makes, transforms that worm into another wasp. The worm, concentrating on the sound, eventually makes the sound itself and emerges transformed. Disciples are of three types. The inferior disciple avoids work and service with clever excuses. The middling disciple does the work but seeks to delegate it. The superior disciple intuitively acts on the master's wish without being asked. Sādhanā, Śvara Yoga, and Nāda Yoga lead to perfection. All waters merging into the Bhāgīrathī become pure Gaṅgā. "Ek sāje sab sāje, sab... jāye. When you do one thing, you master everything." "Śvara Yoga sādhanā removes the fear of death. It removes the fear of rebirth." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 465

Five steps of practising mantra

Mantra is the core of spiritual practice. Life itself is a mantra. Initiation provides the mantra's principles and marks a step toward enlightenment. You must become one with your mantra, feeling it resonate through your being, replacing anxiety with certainty and awakening spiritual light. The aim is liberation, not material dependence. Mantra is your king; approach it with humility and devotion, merging your consciousness into the cosmic. Practice is essential. The first technique is likhita, writing the mantra. Writing purifies thoughts, builds concentration, and is a remedy for stress. It helps correct pronunciation. The alphabet itself is Brahman; the Sanskrit letters are eternal. Write your mantra as you hear it pronounced, with devotion, even for a short time. The second technique is vākya or vikrī, the chanting of mantra. This is śabda-brahma, where sound itself is the Supreme. Your speech should be divine, purifying karma and creating positive vibrations. The sound originates deep within and becomes articulated speech. Control your tongue; let your words be sweet. "Your consciousness merges into that cosmic consciousness." "On the tongue should be the honey." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 463

Brahmagyana and Brahmananda

Bhajan is the second mantra, a powerful practice using the words of saints. There are two kinds: nirguṇa bhajans for the formless God and saguṇa bhajans for God with form. Self-realized saints compose nirguṇa bhajans. To attain this knowledge, one needs a living master from a spiritual lineage, the Siddha Pīṭha. Joining this lineage is like water merging into the Ganges; you receive the blessings of all past masters and become part of that chain. The formless God, Nirguṇa Brahman, is supreme bliss beyond all qualities. When that knowledge awakens, all desires vanish. We are here due to our karma. Saguṇa bhakti is worship of a divine incarnation or realized saint in a physical form. It is an easier path. The personal mantra from an authentic master is your torchlight. You must nourish it with devotion. Without persistent effort, like the fox trying to open a coconut, you cannot enjoy the fruit of the practice. "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvaraḥ. Guru Sākṣāt Para Brahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." "Rām nām nāriyal bīm. Man siyāl guḍāyon le jāī. Phodiyaan toh phute nahi, giri kaan se khai." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 461

Four pillars of spirituality

Desire is natural; claiming to have none suggests a problem. Success in mantra requires foundational principles. First is bhakti (devotion), meaning trust and oneness, like the automatic love between mother and child. Where there is love, there is no cruelty, violence, or cheating; there is perfect trust. In this age, bhakti is primary, followed by jñāna (knowledge), vairāgya (dispassion to say "no"), and tyāga (sacrifice). These four pillars support your practice. A master gave a seed to two men, instructing them to care for it. The merchant locked it away. The farmer planted it, multiplying the harvest over years. When the master returned, the merchant's seed was gone, eaten by a moth. The farmer showed tons of produce. The master said the farmer passed, for a mantra is a seed to be multiplied through repetition. In another account, every hair of a devoted being resonated with the divine name. Through mantra, you transform. "Where there is love, there is no cruelty. Where there is love, there is no violence." "You have to repeat, multiplying every day. As many times as you will repeat, that is it, your plus point." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 460

Practical yoga for world peace

Spiritual awakening is the foundation for achieving world peace. Human history is filled with devastating wars driven by greed for money, position, and power. This greed destroys both human life and the environment. Peace can only come through tolerance, respect, and understanding for all religions, cultures, and individuals. The solution begins within each person's heart; you must be the change you wish to see. Spirituality is defined not by religion but by purity: pure thoughts, pure language, and pure love. It involves renouncing greed, understanding that material possessions are temporary, and recognizing our shared humanity. Practicing yoga cultivates this purity, offering a system for physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. It calms the mind, recharges the body with energy, and fosters non-violence. Through self-mastery and inner peace, we can collectively create a healthy, harmonious world. "Be the change you want to see. Change yourself." "Spirituality means purity: pure thoughts, pure language, pure love, full of tolerance, respect, and understanding." Filming location: Czech Republic DVD 459

God is always with You

Understanding and longing are the path to overcoming fear and realizing the divine. Life's impressions remain forever; we cannot forget, but we can understand and accept. Analyze problems by finding their root cause in past situations of time and place. See that the present moment is safe; the past fear was based on a different reality, like mistaking a rope for a snake. Selfishness and ego prevent solving life's problems; you solve only through giving and respecting others. Understanding dispels fear, as shown when a mysterious light was found to have a technical cause, not a ghost. You must do this inner work yourself; no one can do it for you. Longing for God requires surrendering ego and possessing unwavering, conscious desire, as illustrated by a devotee allowing a crow to eat him but pleading for his eyes to remain to see God. God is indefinable; "God is God." Divine connection is not found in fleeting human love but in permanent devotion. You may miss God's presence if not alert, as in the story of the saint who failed to recognize God while busy. Your human life has a spiritual mission; this body is a temple. Cultivate the unshakable trust that God is with you always. "Be the change you want to see." "God is God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 457

Remove all my sufferings

True friendship is a divine path where two truthful selves walk together, removing each other's sorrows. A friend is never selfish and stands by you through all lives. We all seek someone to pour our love upon, and when that love is accepted, we feel released and happy. If refused, it brings confusion and pain. Real love is understanding and patient endurance. Many relationships fail because promises are broken when tested. The story of the camel and the fox teaches that a selfish friend causes suffering until they learn. The camel, after being betrayed, makes the fox feel the consequence of its actions in the river, teaching a lesson. True friendship withstands critical times. Do not seek love only in others; be a light within. Meditate to be one with yourself. God is the friend who never refuses your love. Be like a flower; butterflies will come. Your prayers and wisdom lead to realization. "Friend is never selfish. Your friend is always thinking of you." "When two hearts meet, then a smile comes. Normally, we should have thirty-two teeth. When two meet, the thirty-two open." Filming location: To be det DVD 456

God is God

Our well-being is our eternal search for God, who is happiness itself. Well-being is the ancient goal. God is simply God, manifest in all creation. Every being seeks happiness, which is God. Even a devil, by constant thought of God, can be liberated, as shown in the story of Kṛṣṇa and Kaṁsa. Yet, we often fear God's actual arrival, clinging to worldly attachments. True experience is not of the body but of the inner consciousness. Disturbances (vikṣepa) and afflictions (kleśa) arise from negative thoughts and actions, fueled by the three types of suffering. Purification comes through mantra. Wellness is establishing a permanent relationship with God, like a wave returning to the ocean. We are drawn to our origin. You can only achieve well-being within; you can inspire others but cannot give them realization. Purify your thoughts and qualities to find it. "God is happiness. God is wellness. God is ānanda." "Man ke māte hār hai, aur man ke māte jīt. It is your mind that suffers when you lose, and your mind that celebrates when you win." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 455

Reality of Your inner mirror

Look into your inner mirror to see your true Self. The physical reflection changes, but the inner one reveals your eternal reality. Only you and God can see this inner reflection, where nothing can be hidden. Your entire being depends on this inner reality. Work with the principles within your heart: Satya (truth), Dharma (righteous duty), and Jñāna (knowledge). Using these tools makes life more comfortable and advances spiritual development. Spiritual technology must be experienced, not merely learned. True greatness is marked by humility; never declare yourself great. A valuable life is dedicated to selfless service and inner purification through these principles. "Your reality is not in the mirror in your bathroom or dressing room. That is not reality, because it is changing." "Therefore, never speak that you are a great one. Do not even think that you are a great one. Always think that you are a servant of God."

Realize Your subtle koshas

Consciousness is the fundamental space of our being, within which thoughts arise as waves. Yoga is the gradual process of harmonizing these thought-waves. Our existence comprises layers: the physical body, the mind, and the subtler sheaths of consciousness. The mind is a subtle process we can direct, yet its nature remains unseen. Our entire being is like a single house; consciousness is the entire structure, while our active intellect is the room currently occupied and illuminated. We can expand consciousness limitlessly through thought, but this expansion is often mere imagination, not aware presence. Such unbounded thinking creates tension. Thoughts directly influence our entire system—mind, emotions, and physical health. Negative thoughts generate unhealthy vibrations, while positive thoughts create a healthy inner environment. The practice is to observe thoughts without attachment, allowing them to come and go while resting in relaxed awareness. "Yogaḥ citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ. Yoga is that which purifies, neutralizes, and harmonizes the waves of thought in your consciousness." "If thoughts come, let them come. If thoughts go, let them go. Just be observant. That is all."

The beauty of sadhana in ashram

Ekāntavāsa is a solitary, peaceful residence for spiritual recovery. Humans uniquely generate noise, pollution, and waste, disturbing nature. Historically, yogis retreated to forests, sustained by natural herbs and roots. Today, such nourishment is scarce, polluted by human activity and genetic manipulation of seeds. Collective vows are needed to cease fighting, reduce waste, and follow spiritual principles like offering the other cheek. This retreat in nature provides clean air and freedom from artificial noise. The environment is filled with divine vibrations from collective mantra practice, which benefits all. Personal spiritual practice, not physical postures, is primary here. Analyze your thoughts, discard negativity, and come to satsang with positivity. "Beauty is in the ātmā, in the soul. Beauty is in the person who always has kind words and a smile." "Analyze yourself. Feel this atmosphere and be happy that hundreds of your guru brothers and sisters are here." Filming location: Czech Republic DVD 452

God loves all equally

All creatures are one light of God, equally loved. Humans possess intellect, needing education to cultivate human qualities. This education begins with parents, fostering ethics, positive thinking, and harmony. A human is defined by inner qualities, not just the body. The primary quality is to be a protector, practicing non-violence. Another is to understand and forgive from the heart, releasing mental burdens. Jealousy and anger are not human qualities. The ultimate mission is self-realization (ātma-jñāna), leading to eternal unity with the divine light. This requires following one's dharma, practicing prayer and meditation, and seeking guidance. We are here on the karma-bhūmi to perform actions; protect your dharma, and it will protect you. Do not seek knowledge of past lives or the future; trust in God. "God loves His creation very equally, without discrimination." "Your bad quality is your enemy, and your good quality is your friend." Filming location: London, UK DVD 450

Longing for belonging

Our true purpose is a search for divine shelter, not worldly aims. Blessed are those who find a Satguru, but meeting him is not enough; we must constantly receive his merciful gaze and guidance. We only recognize this need when spiritually thirsty. True devotion requires lifelong, unbroken surrender to the Guru's presence and memory, avoiding the pride of becoming a "self-made" master. Even advanced realization demands continuous, dedicated practice and protection from negative influences. The ultimate goal is unwavering devotion, where every breath and vision is of the Guru. "To meet a Satguru Dev is one of the greatest pieces of luck or happiness, but to meet the master is not everything. To receive something from him is what is important." "Even if you are an enlightened soul... Until the last breath of your life, you have to be that one who is completely surrendered, dedicated." Filming location: London, UK DVD 449

The science of vastu shastra

To build a blessed home, follow Vāstu principles and cultivate satsaṅg. First, select land. The plot should be narrower at the front than the back, a shape called gau mukha for prosperity. The entrance is best placed in the north, east, or west; avoid the south as it drains energy. Before breaking ground, perform a ceremony during an auspicious astrological time, asking Mother Earth's permission. Disregarding this can lead to family discord and unhappiness. The ceremony involves placing purified stones for the five elements and nine planets, starting in the northeast corner. Also place a ghee lamp for light and wealth, and a Nāg-Nāginī symbol for protection from earthquakes. Place Gaṇeśa and a spreading grass root to symbolize lasting life. Modern life in flats may have Vāstu flaws; adjust with furniture and prayer. Most vital is satsaṅg—association with truth. It removes all negative energies. Attend gatherings fully, or practice alone through positive thinking and mantra. Do not waste this human life on mere worldly aims; focus on spiritual development. "What a glory, what a beauty of the satsaṅg." "Every thought which goes out of your brain sooner or later will come back to you." Filming location: London, UK DVD 448

Five thoughts for a real human

The human being possesses hidden powers to be realized. Yoga is the ancient science leading to the cosmic Self. The individual soul is a bundle of karma, and its reactions form destiny, decided by past lives. Your present circumstances, body, and parents were not your choice. You are alone, fluttering on time's waves, with inner realities known only to you. God created 8.4 million creatures, all representing divine light. The human, possessing intellect, can become divine. Your mission is self-realization: to know "Who am I?" and merge with the universal, ending the cycle of karma. Humans are protectors, endowed with qualities like kindness, mercy, and forgiveness. These are hidden treasures you develop, not buy. Your body has 72,000 nerves and energy centers, chakras, transmitting cosmic consciousness. You have five bodies: physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and the causal body of desires. The three main energy channels are connected to key chakras from the base to the crown. Purify these through practice and meditation to awaken and master your energy, attaining superconsciousness and liberation. "Only one mission human has, and that is: 'Who am I? Know thyself.'" "If you can't dry the tears of others, don't be the cause of the tears." Filming location: London, UK DVD 447

The power of hatha yoga kriyas

Yoga is union and balance for body, mind, and soul. Its goal is self-realization, achieved through five paths. Karma Yoga is selfless action, creating destiny. Bhakti Yoga is devotion through prayer. Rāja Yoga is self-discipline via ethical principles and the eight limbs, including physical postures. Jñāna Yoga is the knowledge of the unchanging Supreme Reality. Haṭha Yoga requires willpower and consists of six purification techniques. Commonly called Haṭha Yoga, physical exercise is actually part of Rāja Yoga. The first technique, netī, cleanses the nasal passages. Dhautī cleans the food pipe, using water or a cloth. Basti or Śaṅkha Prakṣālana cleanses the intestines with salt water and specific exercises, requiring dietary discipline afterward. Naulī churns the stomach muscles to strengthen digestion. Trāṭak is gazing concentration to improve focus and eyesight. Kapālabhāti purifies the sinuses through forceful exhalation. These practices purify the body and mind for health.

Three levels of consciousness

The inner mirror of consciousness reflects all reality, which we must purify to see our true nature. Our ten senses—five for knowledge and five for action—are like horses pulling the coach of life; they can lead us to ruin or to our destination. These senses feed impressions into the conscious mind, which transfers them to the subconscious, where they are stored as memories and can arise as desires, or vāsanās. The mind is merely a clerk, carrying messages between the senses, consciousness, and intellect, which must judge what to do. Unfulfilled desires create psychic disturbances and depression. To gain control, we must purify the energy channels, Iḍā and Piṅgalā, through practices like prāṇāyāma, awakening the dormant Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Purity is obstructed by three things: māla (impurity), vikṣepa (disturbances), and āvaraṇa (the curtain of ignorance). Removing ignorance requires guidance from a living guru and the protective frame of mantra and satsaṅg. Consistent practice leads to mastery over desires and the realization of divine consciousness within. "Who can see cannot speak, and who speaks cannot see." "Your inner mirror will show you all the reality again." Filming location: Edinburgh, UK DVD 445

Practical spirituality

Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. Two forms of knowledge exist: worldly knowledge and the supreme knowledge of the universal One. This supreme knowledge is realized not through theory but through practice and meditation under guidance. The limitless universe, an expression of cosmic consciousness, cannot be understood by the limited intellect; one must merge with it. The balancing power between space and consciousness is Yoga, creating harmony and unity. The ultimate aim is to end the cycle of reincarnation by becoming one with the cosmic Self. All beings possess an innate tendency to return to their origin of happiness. Human intellect, the most powerful tool, must be educated and turned toward the divine through practice, prayer, and non-violence. "Yoga is that harmonizing, and where there is a harmony, there is a unity. So literally, yoga means union, union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness." "The soul is not the Self. Soul is only a bundle of karmas... Ātmā is the universal, and soul is individual." Filming location: Edinburgh, UK DVD 444

Search for the Self

Meditation is the quest to realize the Self and liberate oneself from the painful cycle of rebirth. The individual soul journeys through countless lives, bound by nature's cycle of birth and death. Humans possess the intellect to seek meaning beyond mere survival, yet often remain unaware of the higher Self. Liberation requires divine grace and the understanding that comes from knowing oneself. This Self is not the temporary identity of culture or body but the pure consciousness underlying all. The world is a field of perpetual struggle between positive and negative forces. Fear is a natural protection for all living beings, but meditation aims to overcome the deeper fear of death and rebirth. True unity is realized not by ignoring practical distinctions but by transcending inner duality through devotion. This devotion is the surrendering force that leads to union. Many seek quick realization, but purification of karmic impressions is a gradual process requiring steady practice on one path. The proper use of a mantra, infused with devotion, guides the consciousness toward the divine. The final preparation is for the mind to let go of all attachments effortlessly.

Meditate with a Spiritual Purpose

Meditation is a spontaneous state of silent stillness, not a commanded act. It arrives naturally when one lets go of ambition, expectation, and unnecessary thoughts, much like sleep. What is often practiced—concentration on breath or body—is merely technique, not true meditation. The ancient Ṛṣis discovered this state and, through it, capabilities like astral travel, having explored realities beyond conventional science. Meditation requires a mantra and a clear goal; without them, it is a body without a soul. Success demands daily discipline and inner surrender, not merely outward posture. The transformative power lies within consistent practice and sincere longing, not in fleeing one's circumstances. A story illustrates that spiritual realization is possible wherever one is, through dedicated practice. "Meditation is a spiritual state where the mind attains silent stillness." "Meditation without a mantra is like a body without a soul." Filming location: Linz, Austria DVD 442

Yoga means union

The orange color symbolizes dawn, sunset, earth, fire, purity, and renunciation. It represents a change in consciousness and is worn for protection and visibility. The spiritual lineage stems from Śiva and the Sannyāsa tradition of renunciation, developed by Ādiguru Śaṅkarācārya into Advaita Vedānta. This philosophy teaches non-dualism: the one Brahman is in everything, and all are bound with the One. Human life is precious for self-realization, the primary human duty. Yoga is the principle maintaining balance between infinite space and universal consciousness, meaning harmony, balance, and union. It is achieved through practices like postures, breath, and pure food. Modern life and pollution challenge health, making disciplined practice essential. "One in all and all in one. The one Brahman is in everything." "Yoga means balance, harmony, and union." Filming location: Linz, Austria DVD 441

Discover your wisdom

Teaching awakens your own inner wisdom. You train to become an instructor, learning organized teachings. You begin to teach, repeating the same words. When you speak, a word surfaces in your awareness. Your own intellect decorates that word with wisdom. You feel it is correct and wish to give it. Like a flower seller who decorates flowers before giving them, you color the teaching with your own insight. If you have devotion and clarity within, that clarity emerges. While speaking one sentence, a radiance in your consciousness gives many meanings to that word. You discover dormant wisdom within yourself. You are surprised by your own presentation. Therefore, when you begin to teach, you are first teaching yourself. You learn from yourself and uncover hidden treasure. Your own wisdom is the milk you draw from and drink. Teaching is to revise, reuse, and distribute your inner wisdom. You give to others and lose nothing; you gain more as wisdom awakens from within. "Therefore, when you begin to instruct or teach, first and foremost, you are not teaching others; you are teaching yourself." "Feed it with love. Love means devotion, bhakti. And bhakti means complete oneness, complete surrender, complete belief. That means now your intellect can milk as much as you want, and cream will come." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 440

Yoga is far beyond physical

Yoga is the universal principle balancing body, mind, consciousness, and soul, far beyond mere physical exercise. It is the ancient spiritual science from India, a cradle of culture, given by sages millions of years ago. Humanity is one among 8.4 million creatures, not superior. Human greed and intellect, when misused, destroy the planet, manifesting as natural disasters and violence. This era, Kali Yuga, is governed by negative force, which uses corrupted intellect and illness. The positive divine force is cultivated by removing conflict from the mind. True yoga is a way of life: acting with love, kindness, and global consciousness without hurting others. It is not extreme physical postures but daily harmony. One is an incarnation of love and light; happiness comes from within, not from external things. "Yoga is that principle which balances the universe and universal consciousness—balancing, harmonizing, and uniting." "Yoga is our way of life... whatever you are doing, do it with love, with the consciousness that your action does not hurt others." Filming location: Banska Bystrica, Slovakia DVD 438

Healthy People for a Healthy World

We begin with a peace mantra from the ancient Vedas, a prayer for peace in all elements and within ourselves. The practice of yoga is the path to holistic health. Health is everything's foundation, yet the body's nature is to change, like a leaf falling from a tree. Yoga is unparalleled for wellness, requiring daily practice over mere theory. Our being consists of multiple bodies—physical, mental, and subtle—through which cosmic energy flows via channels called nāḍīs. Our destiny, shaped by past actions or karma, operates through levels of consciousness. Illness first affects the subtle body, then the mental, then the physical, making prevention through yoga essential. Yoga is psychosomatic, influencing body, mind, and spirit. Spirituality is universal purity, not confined to religion. Breath connects us to cosmic energy; conscious breathing can sustain life. Cultivate mental health with positive impressions and social health by avoiding harm. World peace starts with individual health and dialogue across differences. Each step and thought contributes to a better world. Peace begins in one's own heart. "Tons of theory are nothing compared to a gram of practice." "We should know that we can save our life and prolong our life through breath exercises." Filming location: Slovakia DVD 435

Yoga and meditation

Yoga is the balancing principle that creates harmony and union between universal space and the cosmic consciousness. Individual consciousness seeks to unite with this cosmic source. Human experience oscillates between unconscious, subconscious, and conscious states. Meditation is the practice to purify and transcend these levels, moving toward higher consciousness. This process purifies the accumulated impressions of karma, which is the destiny created by one's actions. These karmic qualities persist beyond the physical body, like salt dissolving in water yet retaining its essence. The journey is guided by these inherent tendencies. The human intellect, educated through the five senses, must master the mind and senses. Unfulfilled desires stored in the subconscious create recurring patterns. Meditation, supported by a mantra and disciplined daily practice, is the method to purify these deep impressions and resolve these latent conflicts. "Where there is balance, there is harmony, and therefore yoga means harmony. And where there is harmony, there is unity; therefore, literally, yoga means union." "Meditation without mantra is a body without soul." Filming location: Breda, NL DVD 433

Recipes for good health

Practical advice is given for health and well-being. Take one teaspoon of yellow mustard seeds fifteen to twenty minutes before eating. Practice Agnisāra Kriyā and drink anise tea for digestion. For eyesight, consult a doctor first. Soak eleven almonds overnight in a ceramic container with water; peel and eat them the next morning. Practice Trāṭaka and bending exercises if approved, and consume carrot juice. For weight, adopt the Phalahārī diet: avoid all grains, milk products, potatoes, and bananas. Eat unlimited vegetables, salads with oil, and up to twenty grams of nuts daily. Exercise is essential. A cleansing mixture can be made from equal parts neem powder, turmeric, ginger pulp, and Triphalā Cūrṇa; take one teaspoon each morning. Apply a neem paste to the body weekly. Neem has many uses and benefits. Rose petals from Jādan can be consumed. Certain stones in water may preserve flowers and leaves; this water may be beneficial. For eyes, apply a small amount of fresh, unheated honey to the eyelids at night. "Eat as much as you can, but you can't eat anymore? Then eat more." "Neem is a blessing that you can have."

Kriya yoga

Kriyā is all action, and its purpose is purification and union. Every physical and mental movement is Kriyā, from bodily functions to thinking. Action yields reaction, governing life. In yoga, specific Haṭha Yoga Kriyās, the Ṣaṭ Karma, purify the nāḍīs: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā. These correspond to the sacred rivers Gaṅgā, Yamunā, and Sarasvatī. Their purification through practice leads the yogī to the saṅgham at the Ājñā Cakra, the union called Yoga. This inner confluence is best accessed during Brahmamuhūrta, the pre-dawn period ideal for meditation and mantra. True practice requires purifying the fourfold inner instrument: Manas (mind), Buddhi (intellect), Citta (consciousness), and Ahaṁkāra (ego). The ultimate aim is realizing the immortal ātmā, beyond all duality, by removing impurities, disturbances, and the curtain of ignorance. "Anything that happens through your being is Kriyā." "When Iḍā and Piṅgalā are purified through the practice of Haṭha Yoga... then your nāḍīs are completely purified." Filming location: Breda, NL DVD 431

Puja is meditation

Truth is one, unchanging divine reality, and fanaticism is a grave error arising from claiming exclusive possession of it. God is absolute love and beauty, not confined to a single form or message. Fixating on one aspect and declaring others wrong uproots the deep spiritual roots within people. This creates fear, division, and unrest. A healthy spirituality, like Vedānta, respects all paths as expressions of the one truth. God is the unifying thread and the diverse pearls of creation. Do not force or capture souls; this is against cosmic law. Spiritual practice should be a free, personal journey that cultivates inner positivity and respect for all consecrated spaces. When you know God, you embrace those who do not yet know, without coercion. Traditional wisdom preserves spiritual beauty, while a narrow, modern intellect often leads to dryness. Integrate daily reverence—through mantra, prayer, and seeing the divine in all elements—to live a full and peaceful life. "To declare that only one thing is true and nothing else is a great error and fanaticism." "One in all and all in one. That is the truth." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 429

Renounce and enjoy

Satsaṅg is the essential boat to cross the ocean of ignorance and the door to liberation. It is the gathering with truth, wisdom, and good company that inspires the spiritual path. This association can be with a master, a teacher, or even your own positive thinking. Wherever God is remembered—in temples, mosques, or churches—it is a place of satsaṅg. Regular prayer, like the Islamic practice five times daily, constantly reminds one of the divine. Mantra is a powerful seed of prayer; its repetition sustains satsaṅg within. Hanumān, searching for Sītā, found only one person in Laṅkā chanting God's name at dawn, which was like a full moon among stars. True spiritual teachers appear through divine grace, teaching with gentleness and without criticism. One must renounce ego and selfishness, being flexible like a tree branch. What you renounce in devotion may return to you by divine will. Generosity multiplies spiritual merit, while greed leads to loss. The power of mantra and prayer lies in constant remembrance and thankfulness. "Where there is a master, there is a satsaṅg, and where there is a satsaṅg, there is a master." "Without God's blessing, you cannot meet a saint." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 428

Your animals belong to the family

The sacred bond with animals and nature is the highest form of worship and the foundation for a healthy planet. Cow dung from grass-fed cows is the best fertilizer, and a cowshed radiates positive, scientifically-proven energy. Traditional living allocates more space for animals than for humans, creating a harmonious, anti-stress atmosphere. Animals feel our radiance and trust; they are family. We must never sell them for slaughter, only for agriculture to those who pledge their protection. The current system, driven by the powerful meat industry and pesticide use born of human greed, creates violence and ignorance. We must start grassroots projects, cultivating consciousness through love and practical action. Growing our own food reconnects us with divine knowledge, creating immense abundance and joy. True change begins with individual choice and spreading Ahimsā—non-violence and love for all living beings. "At the moment, the greatest form of worship... is that we cherish these beloved animals and this entire environment." "All knowledge, every kind of knowledge, is a divine blessing."

Our body is a battlefield

The power of the mantra is its capacity to harmonize and protect the inner self. A mantra's effect is more direct with an inner connection, just as poison or nectar works regardless of feeling. The Self, the Ātman, is unborn, eternal, and the goal of all spiritual practice. The body is a temporary instrument, a chariot pulled by the ten senses. The intellect must rein in these senses to guide the chariot toward Self-Realization. Life is transient, and everything changes. To maintain inner harmony, one needs practices like mantra, meditation, and a sāttvic diet. The mantra acts as a protective cloak. Neglecting practice leaves the heart vacant, allowing negative forces to enter, akin to leaving a temple empty for asuras. The inner battle is like the Mahābhārata, where the Ātman (Kṛṣṇa) supports the mind (Arjuna) in the field of Dharma, which is the body. Desires are the cause of suffering. Regular pūjā purifies and protects the home's atmosphere. The mantra is not a slave to command; one surrenders to it for Self-Realization, not for material gain. No magical power can harm one who has true devotion. "Your mantra is not your slave. You cannot command your Mantra." "Vāsanā hī duḥkha kā kāraṇa hai. The cause of our pains, the cause of our problems are the Vāsanās." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 426

The preciousness of neem

The neem tree is a divine source of healing. It grows large in India, and every part of it is medicinal. We call it Neem Nārāyaṇa, meaning it possesses as many qualities as God. You can find neem in many products today. Sitting under the tree is healing. We harvest organic leaves and bark. For skin issues like pimples, apply a neem powder mask for three days. For difficult wounds, apply the paste; it heals quickly. For allergies, take a neem bath. Applying the paste to your hair weekly revitalizes it. Everyone should drink neem tea each morning. It cures allergies, boosts immunity, prevents diabetes, and aids digestion. It eliminates bad breath and improves eyesight, hair, and nails. It is a top prevention for cancer, purifies blood, supports kidneys, and removes gallstones. For gardens, a neem and tobacco water spray protects plants. It purifies bathrooms and repels kitchen ants. Keep neem powder at home. We prune trees for fresh leaves, which supports our ashram. Those who cannot perform certain cleanses should drink the tea frequently. Our product is original and organic. "It is one of the best preventions against cancer." "For people with stomach, digestion, or gastric issues, neem is also a divine blessing." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 425

Yoga is a science of the universe

Yoga is the science of the universe, the uniting principle between endless space and cosmic consciousness. It is the union of individual consciousness with the divine. The universe began with a resonance, Oṁ, from which all creation emerged. Our planet is a place of death and rebirth, a channel where the multiplying divine waves return to oneness. Life here follows the law of karma: every action creates a reaction, shaping our destiny. To avoid negative karma, especially from harming life, a vegetarian life is advised. The human intellect is a powerful tool for understanding and liberation. Yoga practices—postures imitating nature, breath control, and meditation—harmonize the body and mind, prolong life, and calm emotions. The ultimate aim is Self-realization, to realize the cosmic consciousness within. For world peace, we need tolerance, respect, and understanding between all cultures and religions. Life is a journey; only our destiny accompanies us. Therefore, live with love, forgiveness, and awareness, for even simple acts of kindness are yoga. "Two have to become one, and that is called yoga." "Life will eat life." Filming location: Portorož, SLO DVD 424

Yoga is education

Yoga is a practical system for health and a universal principle of unity. Education should cultivate human qualities and clear consciousness, but there are two kinds: worldly knowledge for a profession and supreme spiritual knowledge. True education teaches that all should be happy. My work here began with great dedication from others to spread yoga's message. The practice balances the body's systems and calms the mind, awakening inner peace. The happiness we seek is within. A major global problem is conflict between religions and cultures. God created only one creation, so the one true religion is humanity. We must see ourselves in every creature. Yoga purifies negative thoughts, leading us to the Self. Our aim is for individual consciousness to merge into Cosmic Consciousness. This is the path of yoga, which unites and harmonizes. For this anniversary, we chose to donate blood, a precious gift for life. I urge you to practice for health and to build healthy, happy families, which is also part of yoga in daily life. "Kathani or Karani may farak nahi hona chahiye." There should be no difference between speech and deeds. "Viśvaprāṇī merī ātmā hai." All entities in this world are myself.

Yoga is a Science of Reality

Spiritual awakening is the path to world peace. The power of mantra is to wish happiness for all creatures. Where argument ends, spirituality begins. Duality is ignorance; spirituality is universal consciousness. Yoga is the balancing principle that unites individual consciousness with the cosmic. It is not a religion but the universal principle from which all religions arise. The conflict between mind and intellect ceases in non-duality, the realization of oneness. The self is universal; the individual soul carries personal karma. Peace cannot be achieved through weapons or war but only through awakened love and compassion. Spirituality is purity of heart and the understanding that what disturbs oneself disturbs others. It is realized through meditation and practice, harmonizing body, mind, and soul. Ancient wisdom is urgently needed to develop this consciousness for modern times. Good will, thought, and action are spirituality. A few minutes of meditation brings clarity and energy to overcome conflict. "Where there is duality, there is no spirituality. Spirituality is universal, which has to be awakened in the human consciousness." "Yoga means the union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness."

Destiny and food

The divine play of destiny guides our lives beyond our understanding. We are brought together by a power whose beginning and end are beyond imagination. It is written where each person will eat and drink; you must go to that place, and when it is finished, you cannot go even if you wish. This was shown through a journey where flights were repeatedly canceled, directing us to specific meals in various locations. Every stop was for that destined food. Similarly, two close friends were kept apart because the specific grain and water that would unite them had not yet arrived. A story illustrates this: a sage saw that a single grain of rice in a woman's pot belonged to the king. Through a series of events, her husband accidentally carried that grain in a tooth to the king's court, where the king ultimately ate it. Thus, each grain bears the name of its consumer. Destiny, or divine play, orchestrates all things, making a king a beggar and a beggar a king. Therefore, in any condition, repeat God's name and pray. Utilize time for good, live consciously in the present, and purify yourself through spiritual practice. "On each corn, in every rice and every wheat, is written the name of the person who will eat this." "Anything happens to us, there is some sense in it. Don't be unhappy; welcome it."

Master Your consciousness

Yoga is a spiritual path far beyond commercialized physical exercise. Many approach yoga seeking quick physical results without understanding their body's limits, which can cause harm. True yoga requires years of systematic study, not a brief certification. The commercialization by self-styled teachers damages yoga's essence. The physical practice is important but must be done correctly within a broader spiritual framework. The ultimate goal is spiritual realization, mastering levels of consciousness from unconscious to superconscious. A key practice is achieving lucid awareness and control within the dream state, which trains consciousness. A real yoga teacher must practice self-inquiry: "Who am I?" progressing through stages of contemplation, glimpse, and knowledge of the eternal Self. Teachers should also study anatomy and Ayurveda. True yoga is divine knowledge leading to unity. "To become a yoga teacher, you need six to eight years." "Yoga is nothing but knowledge, and knowledge is the oneness, the unity."

Light of wisdom

Spirituality for world peace is developed through action, not just contemplation. Modern life is busy, and many find meditation difficult. Yet, the innate human tendency for peace remains. Spirituality is maintained through practice, where self-interest (Svārth) and selfless good deeds (Paramārth) must go parallel. Self-care provides the energy for compassion. True spirituality is seen in action, like helpers at an accident focused solely on aiding others, not on payment. Helping hands have more value than folded hands. Another profound path is becoming a teacher, sharing wisdom like a nourishing cow that feeds many. This requires devotion, not ego. Teaching yoga and Āyurveda in daily life helps others achieve health, balance, and clarity. Such actions create radiating waves of peace without need for advertisement. Spirituality in action, or karma yoga, is the practical means for our time. "Helping hands have more value than folded hands." "Your wisdom is that milky cow which will feed many, many hungry ones."

The Soul Wanders in Infinity

The soul is bound by karma, which frees no one, and devotion is the path to spiritual power. Our consciousness is tied to this earthly body, yet the soul journeys through infinity carrying its karma. Even divine figures are subject to this law. True spiritual practice—prayer, meditation, and devotion—purifies the inner instruments and protects from afflictions. Physical pilgrimage, when undertaken with devotion and remembrance, allows one to merge with the divine energy of a sacred place. Ceremonies and maintaining sacred spaces cleanse negative forces. Ultimately, through surrender and constant spiritual practice, one's karmas can be burned away in the radiant field of grace. "Time waits for no one, no matter who. Brahmā himself can come, Viṣṇu himself can come, or Śiva. No matter who, the highest power of this universe—time waits for no one."
