The human being is composed of five sheaths, progressing from the gross to the subtle. The first is the physical Annamaya Kośa, nourished by food. Next is the Prāṇamaya Kośa, the sheath of vital energy. Then comes the Manomaya Kośa, the mental sheath. The fourth is the Vijñānamaya Kośa, the sheath of knowledge and discernment. The final sheath is the Ānandamaya Kośa, the sheath of bliss. All illness and karma originate in the bliss sheath and descend through the others to manifest in the physical body. A spiritual master seeks a capable disciple to impart his essence. Disciples are of three types: supreme, middling, and inferior. One must either participate in creation through marriage and family or attain Brahmajñāna, liberating knowledge. To linger without fulfilling either purpose is to remain stuck. Spiritual practice involves purifying action, speech, and thought across all five sheaths. The accumulated impressions from these layers form one's destiny. A true disciple ensures the master's spiritual legacy continues, just as a child continues a family line. "Every creature born with a physical body must participate in creation." "All illness begins from the Ānandamaya Kośa, coming from above. It descends step by step to finally attack the physical body." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Guru Pūrṇimā marks our new year, leading from darkness to light. In Kali Yuga, negative energy spreads like wildfire, consuming the world through cruel practices like meat-eating. Meat's origin is unknown and could include human flesh, showing this age's depth. All creatures have eyes and a soul; you see God in the eyes of other beings, for every soul is the same God. Despite practices, you will not see God if you do not recognize this unity in all life. Every creature feels fear and pain, and torturing them distances us from divinity. Those under a saint's shelter avoid harming life; others remain in darkness. The guru guides you, even through harsh lessons that remove karma, for his bitterness brings the sweetness of knowledge and protection. Upholding your dharma—your duty to protect every creature and element—is essential, as dharma will then protect you. The complete remains complete. Human dharma is to protect all life. While negative ways spread, a positive message grows through practice and teachings, which we must share. Follow your master's guidance for your good, as unified vibration creates strength.

The path from theoretical knowledge to spiritual realization requires dedicated practice. The body is polluted by environment, food, and lifestyle, necessitating purification through techniques like Agnisāra and Nauli. Two paths exist: Lakṣyatī, the path of aim and practice, and Vācārtī, the path of speaking and theoretical study. Mere reading of scriptures, without practice, creates conflict between knowledge and action and does not lead to realization. Spiritual success demands a clear, sattvic path pursued with independence, as many companions will fall away. Theoretical knowledge alone is like collecting ingredients but never eating the meal. True wisdom comes not from endless reading but from realizing the essence within, which is embodied in the sacred scripture itself as the living Guru. Practice purifies body, mind, and consciousness, awakening energy through correct application. "Pothā paḍh paḍh jug bhaiyā, paṇḍit bhaiyā na koī, dhāī akṣhar prem kā, paḍe so paṇḍit hoī." "Guru Granth Ko Janiye... know thyself that this holy book is not a book but the embodiment of the Guru."

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Nadlac, Romania.

The union of mind, body, and spirit is universal love. All 8.4 million creatures—in water, on earth, in space—are the light of one God. Every creature has parents and children who love them. Ants feel the same pain we feel. A mother’s pain is the same, whether animal or human. The tree is a mother, giving oxygen, fruits, shelter to millions. Rain falls on everything without difference, like God. God gave you hands, legs, eyes, health—you are not poor. Yoga needs discipline now, not tomorrow. Give up killing animals. Yoga brings physical, mental, social, spiritual health. Practice āsanas and prāṇāyāma for a healthy life. Do not judge others. Support someone and your mistakes purify. If you cause pain, that karma returns. Love all creatures, not just your family. Human life has one milestone to heaven; miss it and fall back. "God said, 'Careful, the first stone will that one throw who is not a sinner.'" "Love your next one, means all creatures, all creatures." Filming location: Nadlac, Romania

Every day is a new beginning, and the true education for life comes from discipline, society, and inner wisdom. Parental strictness creates successful children, while laxness leads youth to seek guidance elsewhere, often from harmful habits. Society once collectively guided the young, with elders instilling immediate shame for wrongdoing, like a teacher punishing a student for smoking. Habit becomes a second nature. We now live in an age where negative influences are rampant, and only good karma allows one to rise. A teacher's discipline is an act of love, converting a disciple through wisdom and sometimes necessary firmness, unlike the false guru who offers destructive habits like drugs. Our health suffers from modern habits, fear, suppressed emotions, and ego in personal relationships, which create disease. While allopathic medicine is crucial for urgent care, natural living and gentle yoga practice offer a foundation for long-term health, happiness, and memory preservation, as they scientifically harmonize body, mind, and soul. "Gurujī used to say that habit is the second nature of man." "The guru converts his disciple into the guru. That's it." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The conference opens with a welcome and the ceremonial lighting of the lamp, followed by official messages. The core theme is the integration of Yoga and Āyurveda with modern medicine to address contemporary health challenges. Yoga is a holistic system far beyond physical postures, encompassing body, mind, and soul. Yoga and Āyurveda are inseparable life sciences aimed at balance and longevity. Historical connections exist between Eastern and Western medical traditions. Modern healthcare faces significant challenges, including the high cost and side effects of treatment and rising rates of diseases like cancer. An integrative approach that treats the whole person is essential. This requires reuniting the profound wisdom of the East with the advances of the West. True healing and sustainability come from inner transformation, recognizing our unity with all creation and living with simplicity and consciousness. "The ideas embedded in Yoga and Āyurveda are all about integration. Integral approach to health is the need of the hour." "Yoga means union—of the soul with the entire creation. Yogic practice enhances consciousness and sharpens perception, leading to total harmony with creation." Filming location: USA

A new ashram opens to teach the universal path of yoga, a science of body, mind, and soul for inner peace and health. This place was prepared over many years by volunteers spreading authentic yoga, not as a business. Yoga is an ancient universal science of balance and harmony originating with Śiva, beyond any single religion. It is a tool for modern life, where one must find willpower and time for practice amidst societal haste. The practice requires careful, daily effort without competition, adaptable for all ages and conditions. Its ultimate aim is to realize one's relation with the Supreme, fostering health, peace, and universal brotherhood. The future depends on educating children in this spiritual knowledge.

We mark 25 years of teaching Yoga in Daily Life here, a voluntary mission from an authentic Indian school. We secured our own space, now becoming a blessed ashram. We have brought yoga to schools, libraries, and communities for all ages through dedicated effort. Yoga is ancient, a science of body, mind, and soul, intertwined with Āyurveda as natural knowledge for health. It is not passive meditation but active practice for concentration and peace. Its universal message is recognized internationally. We must return to natural living, embracing yoga and Āyurveda for well-being, seeing all cultures and people as one family under God.

The eternal journey of the soul is understood through the body. The body is a house where God speaks. Every creature operates by this divine intelligence, evident in the coordinated flight of birds or movement of fish. The soul occupies this body, which is like a chariot pulled by ten horses—the five senses of perception and five of action—controlled by the mind. To understand the soul, first understand and purify the body. Control hunger and thirst. Purify emotions like jealousy, which attack the body. Yoga and prāṇāyāma are sciences for this purification, not acrobatics. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life-giving nourishment. Our actions, or karma, generate reactions, causing the soul to journey through various realms. This journey is like a blind person circling a hall, missing the door to liberation due to desires. The soul takes different forms based on karma. Human life is a rare chance to end this cycle through purification and right understanding. "Jisme Nārāyaṇa Bole, Par Guru Binā Bheda Kaun Kholē."

Yoga is a practice for both body and mind. It is not merely physical exercise. The postures and breathing are tools to calm the mind and bring inner peace. A quiet mind is the true goal. This inner stillness allows you to connect with your true self. Through consistent practice, the body becomes healthier and the mind becomes clearer. This harmony within reflects as peace in the world. "Yoga for Body and Mind." "I wish for peace in the whole world, and for you, I wish good health, peace, harmony, prosperity, and progress."

The purification of antaḥkaraṇa reveals the nature of truth as Sat Cit Ānanda. Truth is unchanging, like the sky—no weapon cuts it, no fire burns it, no water destroys it. This world is temporary, mithyā; only Brahman is real. Thoughts arise from the inner instrument: manas, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra. Impurity there causes ego, the belief in one’s greatness. Purifying these four leads to liberation. Judgement belongs to Divine Justice alone, not to any person. Ignorance is a dark curtain over past, present, and future. The soul is pure but coated by karma and destiny, which we create. Every soul is equal, from ant to elephant, a quality not a quantity. Love all entities; inability to love is ignorance. Four friends—dharma, patience, true friend, spouse—are tested in crisis. In adversity, you are alone; only truth accompanies. The antaḥkaraṇa absorbs qualities from contact and energy. A good deed plants a seed that remains lifelong. Cultivate purity of inner actions. Satyam Śivam Sundaram—truth, consciousness, beauty. "Brahma satyaṁ jagat mithyā." "Love each and every entity. If you cannot love that much, then at least love them as much as you love yourself." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The foundation of practice is knowledge, discipline, and adaptation. Each posture has a specific effect, and the sequence is crucial. When you adopt a system, you must follow its fixed procedures. However, you must know your own bodily capacity and limitations. If a posture causes pain or is contraindicated for your condition, you must avoid it. This is an individual matter. The teacher's first duty is to know what to do and what not to do for themselves and their students. Practice must be consistent; knowledge unused is lost. Yoga is a comprehensive science for mastering oneself, not merely physical movements. You must preserve and transmit knowledge, otherwise it perishes. "Every yoga teacher's first duty and priority is to know what to do and what not to do for themselves." "Knowledge must be renewed daily; otherwise, we are lost."

The spiritual path is narrow and perilous, requiring vigilant discernment. Pride in the body or limited knowledge is a profound weakness. Spiritual development itself brings danger, akin to a newborn vulnerable to infection. Negative influences and mental afflictions can infiltrate and destroy progress from within, much like a small axe fells a mighty tree when joined by the forest that becomes its handle. Therefore, the protective power of true satsaṅga, or holy company, is essential. In this dark age of ignorance, the path is slippery and lined with adversaries. One must be humble, avoid negative company, and remain steadfast on the chosen path, for the mind can either liberate or destroy. "Satguru satsaṅg yārī olu avere, olu avere nen bharja avere." (I am longing for those people who have satsaṅg.) "Galiyāṁ choṭī, rāt andherī, rāste meṁ chikanāī." (The path is very narrow, the night is very dark, and the road is slippery.)

Life is a flowing river; each moment passes and cannot be reclaimed. Human life is precious and should not be wasted on mere eating, sleeping, and procreation. Time is passing; either use it for spiritual development or lose it. The mind, driven by attachment and desire, is difficult to control and is the cause of suffering. Actions performed through body, mind, speech, and wealth create karma, which determines one's future state. One must purify the inner self through discipline. Yoga is the science for achieving health of body, mind, and soul, leading to liberation. Practice āsana and prāṇāyāma daily for physical health and inner purification. Adopt a sāttvic diet, cook at home to improve health, economy, and family unity. Spiritual lineage connects practitioners to a divine source, offering a path for direct experience. The ultimate aim is to become truly human, do good, and attain higher consciousness. "Either you use it or you lose it. You have the chance to use something good for your health, for your happiness and joy, but spiritual development—yoga is a science of body, mind, and soul." "Yoga begins with discipline. Then you will be great, and great in one year you will see you are something great." Filming locations: Szeged, Csongrád-Csanád, Hungary

The sound Aum and the movement of prāṇa are central to awakening inner energy. All language begins from the single center of the navel. The letter 'A' emanates from there, and 'R' returns to touch it, creating a cycle of expansion and contraction. In Kundalini science, one inhaled breath divides into ten prāṇas that energize the body. Chanting Aum is a Kriya Yoga practice. We expand into the universe with 'A' and contract, bringing the 'M' back to the navel. This awakens the Kundalini Śakti, moving energy from the navel to the heart, to the throat, to the brow center, and up to the crown, receiving the nectar of immortality. The cycle then brings this energy back down to the navel. By following this resonance, one purifies the body and connects with the universal energy. "By chanting Aum, we are awakening that Kuṇḍalinī Śakti, coming from the navel to the heart, from the heart to the vocal cord, lightening in the Ājñā Cakra." "Relax and close your eyes. Concentrate on the resonance. The vibration—through that resonance, you hear with your ears."

The teacher's duty is to transmit the pure knowledge of yoga. A tree is planted from a tasted fruit, requiring care to bear fruit for others. Enjoying yoga's fruit necessitates planting its seed for students. Discipline is required, as knowledge unshared is lost at death. The system is like parenthood or education; a teacher must impart their faculty or the student and knowledge are lost. Theory must become practice, passing higher knowledge to students. Yoga maintains health through daily, non-competitive scientific movement, substituting postures for equal benefit. Diet is discipline; the tongue's taste and sexual desire are the two strongest, uncontrollable senses. Disease can originate from parental habits and genes, but yoga purifies the body to stop this transmission. The practice of Bāṛīkhaṭu Praṇām recycles energy, transforming body and consciousness. Food should be natural and vegetarian; consuming meat transfers the animal's fear and disease. Prayers and postures like Vajrāsana remove negative energy from food. This posture connects to the solar plexus, drawing energy to the brain and improving concentration. Practice perfects the transmission. "Yoga needs discipline. So, if you are a practitioner—even if some may go out or criticize—you are on the path because you have tasted that fruit and wish to give it further." "If you do not give this higher knowledge to your students, then this knowledge is lost. Finished. You die, and it is gone."

Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. It is the ancient principle of balance between consciousness and space, which is the true yoga beyond mere exercise. Creation began from the resonance of Oṁ, manifesting light and Śiva, from whom all multiplicity arises. Life is sustained by the elemental fire of hunger, where life consumes life. Humans, distinct among 8.4 million creatures, possess intellect and are bound by karma; every action yields a reaction, perpetuating the cycle of birth and death. The purpose is to transcend this cycle through righteous action, harming none, thereby enlightening the soul to unite with the cosmic Self. For the body, practice gentle postures and breath daily to ensure health and awaken inner energy. Consistent practice is essential, as time can be allocated from one's day for this vital discipline. "Yoga is a science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul." "Every action has behind it a reaction, and when you take the reaction, it will be again an action."

Concentrate on the body to awaken the Mūlādhāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, and Maṇipūra chakras, developing immunity through the navel center. Locate the pulse at the navel by applying deep pressure. Raise the corresponding leg or both legs based on the pulse's location, maintaining a height of thirty centimeters. This action balances the prāṇa and apāna energies at the Maṇipūra. A centered navel pulse indicates perfect digestion and balanced weight. Perform these postures periodically to harmonize the three primary nāḍīs and strengthen the organs. The practice culminates in a balanced, meditative state. "As long as our center, our navel pulse, is exactly in the center of our navel, then we will have no disturbances in digestion." "Balancing in the Maṇipūra Cakra, the navel... Normal breath will raise the immunity very much and relax you down."

The strength of satsaṅg is amplified collective spiritual energy. We share our burdens and energies, so no one carries the full weight alone. Like raindrops uniting into a mighty river, our individual strength combines into a powerful flow toward the divine ocean. This river may temporarily separate around islands of ignorance, but it merges again. If our energy becomes an emotional flood, it can wash away spiritual progress, so balance is essential. The mind is a mirror reflecting the self; cleaning faults on the reflection is futile—you must clean the source. Impurity is in the mind, cleaned by the soap of discernment and the rock of dispassion. Satsaṅg is the boat crossing the ocean of illusion. Even a sinful person, like a nail hooked to wood, is carried by this collective dharma. You must stay in the boat; leaving it means being lost. This world is temporary; you take nothing with you. Therefore, remain alert and committed to the satsaṅg, for it is the vehicle to liberation. "Energy cannot be kept for oneself alone; your strength is for everything." "Satguru nām jahāj hai: The Satguru’s name is the boat." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

Traditions and inner truth are being lost, requiring sincere self-confrontation. Global traditions like garlanding and festival trees reveal a shared human culture now fading. This loss signifies a decline in humility and respect. Spiritual practices and scriptures are also manipulated or destroyed, making genuine discipline rare. Truth is difficult to accept and often rejected, as seen with historical figures. One must purify inner qualities to uncover the inherent inner light. A key training is to honestly confront one's own negative traits in solitude. Write your anger, hate, greed, and selfishness on an inner blackboard. This inner master is often ignored by our offended and emotional nature. Parents now lack the quality to educate children in proper discipline, mirroring a broader spiritual decline. Superficial cultural adherence and physical adornment distract from natural beauty and inner work. Spiritual practice requires obeying the inner master and embracing necessary bitterness over weakness. Maintain the body and practice with care, as negative emotions destroy inner organs. Harmonize through sincere practice to achieve freedom. "Write on the blackboard all your negative qualities which you know." "Truth is the truth. We cannot digest it."

The word is an arrow of sound; its resonance wounds or heals, and the chakras are a science of vibration. Ancient schools taught the śabdabāṇa, the sound-arrow. One type: warriors shot toward a sound, the arrow striking the source. Another is the spoken word, which pierces the heart and leaves an indelible wound. A harsh word can destroy relationships; forgiveness may come, but the wound remains. In the Mahābhārata, Draupadī’s single laugh and word to Duryodhana caused the great war. Therefore, speak sweet words that cool and bring peace. Measure the weight of each word before speaking; once released, it does not return, like a bullet or the soul. Sound carries across lives; impressions remain in consciousness. The human body has 72,000 nerves, each a resonance center connected to the cakras. The navel, Maṇipūra Cakra, is the center of life-power. Cakras have petals, each linked to a letter-sound; these letters are living energies. The sounds A, Ā, U, M vibrate from navel to heart, throat, and brain. This is the basis of Brahmrī Prāṇāyāma, which can alleviate depression and disease. Every petal is a complete energy pattern, supersymmetric like lotus petals. The yogīs experienced this directly. So practice resonance to heal body and mind. “Lagī, jiske aisī lagī, ho gayī ārām.” “Two things, once released, do not return: the bullet from a gun, and the soul that has left the body.” Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia

The divine chakras and the sacred path of yoga are revealed. The man-made world is imperfect, but the God-made world is perfect. The spine contains hidden divine energy. The eight major chakras are located along the human body. Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root, representing qualities between animals and humans. Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra is the seat of emotion. Maṇipūra Chakra is the solar plexus, center of the universe, directly connected to the sun; its light cures many diseases. Anāhata Chakra is limitless; resonance is the supreme. Viśuddhi Chakra is the throat, where poison is held; diseases originate from swallowed problems and emotions. The thyroid gland suffers from fear, hate, jealousy, and conflicts. These five chakras are human qualities; the Ājñā Chakra is the third eye, the beginning of yoga. The two petals of Ājñā, "ha" and "ṭha", form Haṭha Yoga, balancing human weakness and consciousness. The six chakras have fifty-two petals, each a resonance corresponding to the Devanāgarī alphabet, residing in the spinal column as Kuṇḍalinī. Practice of these resonances makes many diseases disappear. The Bindu Chakra at the crown is the dot of nectar; through Kriyā, nectar descends and is preserved by Khecharī Mudrā. The Sahasrāra Chakra with a thousand petals represents the thousand rays of the sun, granting liberation from birth and death. Aum is the resonance of all three worlds, the sound of the sun; it is not religion but the human body itself. "Nādarūpa Parabrahma, the resonance is the highest, the supreme." "Haṭha yoga is not just physical postures; it is a balance between our human weakness and our consciousness." Filming location: Mozirje, Slovenia

Māyā, the great trickster, and the path of the sannyāsī. Becoming a sannyāsī demands following strict rules and a long test; it is not an escape from karma or life’s burdens. Māyā is a tremendous cheater, a temptation that catches you in ways you like, like a trap or a cage. The three gunas—sattva, rajas, tamas—all have a sweetness, but one must go above them. Māyā holds a rope and chases to ensnare you; it follows even after death and enters holy waters, temples, and high places. Spiritual sādhanā lifts you like a helicopter above māyā’s reach. Use sweet, divine words; harsh words spoil the milk of life. True sannyāsa means coloring the heart with love and devotion, not just wearing orange cloth. Contentment and desirelessness bring constant happiness. The guru principle is the inner light and knowledge, not the physical body. One who is great never praises himself; kill the ego. Sing devotion with detachment as a practice. Renounce and enjoy; be ever content. “Māyā, mahā ṭhagnī—a great cheater. It will not let you free, not only in this world, but after death also.” “Santoṣī nara sadā sukhī—who has no desires, is ever and ever happy.” Filming location: Maribor, Slovenia

The greatest happiness in life is the subject this weekend. The bees are disappearing; across Europe, 70% have vanished, and this is human doing. Scientists' research is not beneficial; they should return to yoga and meditation. Technological development and nature's destruction have removed happiness from your lives. Self-examination is necessary: close your eyes and imagine a blackboard. Write honestly your jealousy, hatred, pride, anger, and negative thinking. The blackboard fills with these qualities, blocking true happiness. A story tells of a merchant who refused water, saying someone will come; the thirsty man asked, “Can you become a man for a while?” Do not wait for others; take action yourself to change. Until you erase all negative qualities from the blackboard, you will not achieve what you seek. A bhajan pleads, O Lord, I surrender all burdens, victory and loss are in Your hands. It asks to live like a lotus in water, unattached. Faith in God is demonstrated when a principal rang a lunch bell with no food, and a truck unexpectedly delivered meals. Trust in divine provision, without doubt. Reduce plastic; make cotton bags from used cloth, avoid plastic and aluminum. Use natural herbs for washing; collect and dry them, replace chemical products. Be like a bee that extracts nectar even from thorny plants, giving sweetness to others. “Renounce and enjoy. Renounce your pride—in whatever way you are proud.” “Be like a bee. That bee, even from a poisonous cactus, will bring nectar.” Filming location: Maribor, Slovenia

The most precious thing in life is good health, which yoga provides as a gift from Svayaṁbhū Śiva. This primordial consciousness, unborn and without parents, manifested all creation from the single thought, "I am one, and I will multiply." This manifestation is Sanātana Dharma—the eternal principle of oneness in all existence, not a religion. Humans have lost this spirituality, creating separate religions instead. True religion is to realize your relation to God, leading to Self-Realization where the individual soul and God are one. Life's quality depends on aligning with the positive, divine power (Devī Śakti) of love and non-violence, not the negative (Āsurī Śakti) of harm. In the current Kali Yuga, suffering prevails as humans become selfish, governed by material desire like gold. The only solution is to renounce attachment and thereby enjoy true freedom and enter the kingdom of God. "Realize your relation to God is the religion." "Renounce and enjoy."

Knowledge of the chakras is essential for serious yoga practice. Chakras are wheels, points of communication between inner and outer space. The main chakras ascend from the base of the spine. The first is Mūlādhāra, the root, connected to unconscious patterns and our foundational life conditions. The second is Svādhiṣṭhāna, where dormant tendencies manifest, offering the first chance for conscious change. Purification of body and mind is the prerequisite for progress. This involves non-toxic food, clean water, conscious breathing, physical movement through āsanas, and managing stress. In Svādhiṣṭhāna, one can awaken divine forces like Kriyā Śakti and Icchā Śakti through purity and concentration. Mastering this chakra is more than half the journey. Higher chakras like Maṇipūra, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, and Ājñā represent ascending levels of energy, feeling, purification, and discernment. Realization of these chakras leads to a higher state. "Chakra means a wheel. These are the places through which our inner space communicates with outer space." "Unless we purify our body and mind, those hidden powers will always remain hidden and dormant."

The soul is caught in the mortal body, a condition shared by all creatures, yet humans possess unique knowledge. The fundamental inquiry is into the nature of the Ātmā, which is presumed to be within but remains unseen. Many believe existence ends with the body, while others hold beliefs of heaven, hell, or merging with God. Theory is insufficient; personal experiential practice is essential. The story of the bandit Vālmīki illustrates that even the most burdened soul can be liberated through single-pointed devotion and mantra repetition, transforming into a great sage. The human body is a divine temple, a Garbhagṛha where the soul resides, and must be respected and kept pure. One must persist in practice with devotion and alertness to realize the truth within. "Neither this side nor that side, but it is there. It is there where you are, so you have to experience the practice and see for yourself personally." "In every temple is your statue, but I cannot see your face, my Lord. Oh my Lord, you are living in every heart. But I want to see you." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

The eternal journey of the soul is the core inquiry of self-knowledge. The fundamental questions are: who am I, from where have I come, and where will I go? Past lives are veiled; attempts to uncover them through hypnosis often lead to emotional fantasy, not truth. The soul transmigrates through destiny, which must be fully accepted. Even great beings carry residual karma, choosing to endure it rather than avoid it and perpetuate rebirth. Life is like a dream; a farmer dreams multiple lifetimes in minutes, questioning which reality is true. We exist in three states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Mastering these is essential. The spiritual path is slippery with ignorance and temptation; one must proceed with steady resolve to attain self-knowledge and cease this cyclical journey. "From where do I come? For what did I come? And what am I doing? And where am I going? This should be the first knowledge." "Accept the destiny, good or bad, because I know I have to fulfill this desire or this pain or such situations." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

The unity of Śiva and Śakti is the non-dual foundation of creation and spiritual practice. The entire world is one family under one divine source. Śiva is Svayaṃbhu, the self-manifested source from the five elements, and the author of yoga. Śakti is the universal power or energy present in all things, not a gender. Every person contains this essence. Two fundamental powers exist from creation: Daivī Śakti, the divine power of protection and love, and Āsurī Śakti, the power of ignorance, hate, and cruelty. Darkness is removed by igniting the inner light of knowledge. All dualities in the body, like the two hemispheres of the brain or the two eyes, reflect this united energy. Through consistent practice and willpower, one cultivates the divine power to heal and achieve enlightenment. "Śiva is the one who is called Svayaṃbhu. Svayaṃbhū means no one has created him—neither mother nor father." "Darkness will not go, but we just make a little light within, in no time, darkness is gone." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

Yoga is a science of body, mind, and soul. The first happiness is good health. Practice includes physical, mental, and spiritual exercises. Humans suffer from uncontrolled desires, ignorance, and bad habits. Karma is action and reaction, like biting your tongue. Yoga requires only time and regular practice. It is a lifelong discipline. Control of senses and thoughts is essential. Look within for the joy of the Ātmā. The blind man missed the door when distracted, so seek without diversion. Strong willpower is needed. Food should be local and organic to avoid pesticides. Reduce chemical use in water and on the body. Yoga activates the whole body system. Practice daily for one and a half hours. Trust yourself. "The first happiness is good health, the first wealth is good health." "Within you is the joy of the Ātmā." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

The subject is satsaṅg, the true company that guides us from darkness to light. The first education comes from the mother, then from both parents, as taught in the Upaniṣads. Modern education often fails the youth, who lack direction. Children lose the lap of their parents to kindergartens and toys, which cannot provide true education. This leads to patan, or destruction, seen in drug use and disrespect. Utthān, or development, comes from humility and spirituality. We must distinguish between satsaṅg (good society) and kusaṅg (bad society). Many modern diseases stem from junk food and swallowed emotional problems like fear and anxiety, which affect specific organs. Yoga is a science for health, not sport. We all come from the Sun, and the soul is on an eternal journey dictated by destiny. Practice chanting "Aum" to channel solar energy from the navel through the chakras to heal and awaken the brain. "Sat means the truth, and saṅg means to be together. In good company, with good friends, we learn good things." "Hope is the walking stick from the cradle to the grave."

Prāṇāyāma consists of three actions: inhalation, exhalation, and retention. These form the core of breath control. The practice serves to purify and strengthen the lungs, enabling longer breath retention. Different techniques like Bhastrikā or Ujjāyī apply these three actions for specific purposes. The ultimate aim of sādhanā is to purify the inner instrument, the Antakaraṇa. External service is secondary to inner purity. Masters in the causal body perceive only this purity. One must avoid the pitfalls of spiritual power. Using siddhi or teaching techniques without mastery leads to a fall. Remain steadfast in one tradition; do not mix paths or compare masters. The river may curve, but the essence flows onward. "Only your purity matters." "You should become a Siddha but not use the siddhi."

The human body is a precious instrument for spiritual science. Our physical existence is temporary, yet we must care for this vehicle. Knowledge is infinite, as illustrated by the sage who studied the Vedas for ages but had learned only a handful of dust compared to the entire mountain. All beings experience pain, and causing suffering is a sin. Modern diseases correlate with consumption of afflicted animals. Humans are free to choose their nourishment and their spiritual direction. The science of yoga is encoded within the body, particularly in the resonance of the chakras represented by Sanskrit letters. This vibration harmonizes our five bodies. A practical technique uses the sound "A" to generate solar energy from the navel, promoting healing and vitality. This sound vibration, when practiced correctly, can alleviate depression and improve memory by enhancing circulation in the brain. "Whoever comes will go." "What you have learned until now is only as much as this dust in your hands." Filming locations: Rijeka, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia.

True spiritual practice transcends superstition and external rituals. Monday is Śiva's day, a day for fasting. Each weekday connects to a planetary influence. While cosmic influences hold some truth, they are not ultimate. Sages may have created systems like astrology to control unruly human nature, prescribing rituals as a calming injection. Do not be enslaved by predictions or fear of bad constellations. Control the planets of your own senses and ambition. Many promise miracles or liberation through expensive techniques, but these are often deceptions like staged levitation. Liberation requires purifying the inner instrument: be humble, pure, and free from jealousy and slander. Do not judge others, for to label another bad first requires the thought of bad within yourself. Practice sincerely without running after masters. Self-Realization is not guaranteed by any person; it is determined at life's final moment. Be normal, purify desires, and love all. "Control the planet of your indriyas, your senses. Control your ambition." "Who has never done some mistake or sin? That one should send, throw the first stone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Satsang with Vishwaguru Maheshwarananda, Strilky ashram, Czech Republic. There are different ways to live the life. If someone is not working properly this person will live in the rented apartment for the whole life. With good way of living we will be able to buy a house and live a better life. Vishwaguruji tells the story of the merchant's boy who misunderstood the advices of his father. This is similar between the master and disciple.

Satsang with Vishwaguru Maheshwarananda, Strilky ashram, Czech Republic. When spring comes nature is again growing. Creation was began with Shiva. Rain at the full moon night is a blessing for the new life. According to the scriptures the Jiva comes to the Earth with the water element. God is like the mother and father. We are like the children. Masters are cleaning our karmas with help of the Satsang.

The ego of a devotee is cured by divine grace through humility. Even great beings can develop pride in their service. Hanumān once believed Rāma's victory depended entirely on him. Earlier, Garuḍa also lost faith after rescuing Rāma from a snake-arrow, thinking God needed his help. Garuḍa, in despair, was told only the crow-sage Kakabhuśuṇḍī could cure him. As Garuḍa approached, hearing the sage's discourse restored his devotion, and he saw even the gods listening. To cure Hanumān's pride, Rāma sent him to deliver a ring to a sage in the Himalayas. The sage told Hanumān to throw it into a pond, which was filled with identical rings from every divine incarnation. Hanumān then understood his role was not unique but part of an eternal cycle, curing his ego. "Hanumānjī became proud. He thought, 'If I were not, Rāma would not be successful.'" "Hanumān, don’t be proud. Don’t think that through your help, Rāma was victorious... It was a test for you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The birthday of Hanumān teaches the power of selfless devotion and the true nature of the soul. Nutrition supports the physical body, the Annamaya Kośa. Vegetarian food is fundamental for health. Quitting sugar improves digestion and reduces parasites. Speaking sweet words harmonizes everything, while bitter words are poison. Hanumānjī incarnated as the support of Rāma, born thousands of years ago. He was the incarnation of Śiva, possessing immense strength and swiftness. To enter Laṅkā, he became as small as a mouse, slipping under the gate. He searched for a devotee and heard Vibhīṣaṇa chanting Rāma’s name. A true sādhu is defined by humility, not by outward dress. Hanumān tore open his chest to reveal Rāma and Sītā dwelling within. He leaped to the Himalayas to fetch the Sañjīvanī herb, overcoming many obstacles. When shot by Bharata, he declared, “Without fulfilling duty to God, there is no rest.” The herb revived Lakṣmaṇa, demonstrating the power of devotion. Hanumān represents the jīvātmā—your will, strength, and knowledge. Rāma is the Ātmā, the eternal God within the heart. Fear is Rāvaṇa; chanting the Hanumān Chālīsā removes fear and gives protection. “Bin hari kṛpā mile nahī santah” — Without the grace of God, you cannot find a saint. “Rāma kāja kī mohe kahāṁ biśrāma” — Without fulfilling my duty to my God, how can I rest?

Maintain cultural and spiritual harmony through yoga and compassion. Cultural festivals should be preserved and celebrated to educate future generations. All religions contain harmony, but politics often creates conflict. Brotherhood must be created globally, respecting all faiths without negative influence. Yoga serves two aims: ensuring good health to reduce aggression and awakening inner peace. Harmony and love naturally arise in a spiritual community, not through force or transaction. True giving benefits the giver without loss, fostering positive karma. Spiritual figures often faced hardship, reminding us to see the divine in everyone and cultivate good qualities. "Yoga has two aims. That is the science of body, mind, and soul. Yoga is for good health." "Give or not, but you take all the karmas of that poor person, that will reflect on us."

The soul's journey is from separation from the divine source back to union with it. The individual soul, or jīva, originates from the supreme oneness, like a water droplet separating from the ocean through evaporation. This droplet then longs to return. The cycle of the soul mirrors the water cycle: it ascends, travels, and descends back to earth, entering vegetation and bodies. Satsang is the boat to cross the ocean of separation, guided by the Guru or the holy scripture, which embodies the Guru's presence. Constant repetition of the divine name, like "Ram," is a highway to that goal. However, our physical actions create karma. We poison the earth and water with chemicals from soaps, cosmetics, and medicines, which is violence against nature and ourselves. True spirituality requires internal purity and non-violence in all conduct, as everything is counted. Liberation comes from realizing you cannot hide your actions from yourself or the divine. "From the ocean, the jīva is in the water, the soul is in the water." "This drop is called Jīva. And when this drop falls into the ocean, the Jīva becomes the Ātmā." Filming location: London, UK

The guru removes darkness with light, and the soul journeys through attachments to liberation. The first gurus are mother and father, imparting the knowledge of being human. Then friends teach lessons aligned or not. The soul, pure in the womb, slowly encounters worldly toys. A child clings to toys, crying if they are taken. In teenage years, the search for a partner begins, but modern attachments often lead to broken toys and damaged souls. Man and woman are two wings; separation cuts the wings, leaving the soul wounded. Later, the last toy becomes hope, God, spirituality. With a true master, one can rise on the divine path, but falling cuts the wing again. When the wing is missing, death approaches like a cat. The master shapes the disciple like iron in fire, hammering to make a beautiful instrument, never destroying. The master who creates a statue then bows, seeing the divine. External troubles swallowed into the body attack weak organs, causing suffering. The soul then neither dares to leave nor wants to stay. A technique of chanting Om from the navel to the crown, with hollow palms over the ears, vibrates every brain cell, relieving depression and awakening memory. "That soul is so pure, it has no worldly spots on it. Slowly, slowly, this māyā will begin." "The master puts it again in the fire and gives the air. Again, it becomes hot. Take the hammer and work."

The eternal journey of the soul is our core inquiry. Ādi Śaṅkarācārya's essential question is "Who am I?" I am not this temporary body, which is composed of five elements. The soul enters mortal life through four paths: vegetation, microorganisms, egg-born creatures, and womb-born creatures like humans. This soul is on an endless journey, like a river flowing to the ocean, experiencing many lives based on karma. The human life is a critical opportunity. If we miss our righteous path, we go backwards; if we attain liberation, Mokṣa, we also return, as there is nothing higher. You are not merely eating and breeding; you have a higher purpose. Souls can be trapped, like a bird in a cage, by their own karma. Your spiritual presence here can help liberate such souls. In truth, there is no gender in the soul; non-duality is the ultimate reality. This body is an instrument for the soul. At death, the soul exits through specific channels; a yogi's soul departs through the crown. The journey continues. "Who am I? I am not this body. The body is just a cover." "The soul, with the soul which is in one, life enters. Now, endless journey, flowing and flowing." Filming location: London, UK

The eternal journey of the soul is the subject. The soul is not the five elements or the five sheaths: the physical body, the energy body, the mental body, the intellectual body, and the bliss body. The mind coordinates the five senses of knowledge and the five senses of action. It is a reflection of our actions, like a reflection in a mirror. Self-knowledge asks: who am I? From where did I come? Where am I going? The soul is a divine light, equal in all beings. It enters through the navel, connected to the solar plexus and the sound of the sun. The soul's residence is in the heart. One must be vigilant with karma, as a single mistake can undo a lifetime of good work. Realization requires persistent understanding, not merely intellectual knowledge. "Ko’ham—who am I? I am not these five elements." "Do not think that the elephant has a big soul and the mosquito or ant has a small soul. The soul is like a fire." Filming location: London, UK

The inner government of the self is established through practice, not theory. Our primary country is the body and mind. We must govern this inner world first, choosing nourishment wisely. We cannot negotiate with the inner world; blaming others creates guilt that reflects back as disease. Negative thoughts and words are bullets that cannot be recalled; they shorten life and generate suffering. Our habits of eating and negative thinking create disturbances. To heal, we must cultivate positive thoughts and solve others' problems, which brings deep rest. The science of yoga awakens dormant power within the chakras. The sound Oṃ is a scientific tool for healing. Chanting begins with 'A' at the navel, moves to the heart, transitions to 'U' at the throat, and culminates in the humming 'M' that vibrates the entire brain. This practice harmonizes the nervous system, relieves headaches, and releases depression. The resonance cleanses the inner channels and restores memory. "Two things do not come back: the bullet and the word." "Negative thinking... that’s it. And you cannot hide that from the two who know constantly."

Suffering arises from unresolved inner conflicts projected outward, damaging body and mind. Unresolved, undigested situations attack the thyroid and liver. Swallowed anger creates stones in the liver. Projecting anger harms both self and others. Emotional conflicts form gallstones. Back pain often comes when words feel like a broken spine. Overexerting to prove oneself damages the knees. Yoga, the science of humans, stands beyond all religions. Protect your dharma and it protects you. Love is God—cause no pain to any living being. Do not eat those who have eyes. The real enemies are inner anger, hatred, jealousy, and ignorance. Spiritual teachers shape true knowledge. Touch holy feet to receive divine energy. Male and female are one soul; duality is illusion. World peace begins in your hands. Walk barefoot on the living earth and practice Kriya Yoga to heal body, mind, and soul, especially through the solar plexus. “World peace is in your hands.” “Do not cause pain to any life on this earth.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The ego stands as the greatest obstacle to liberation. The aim is service and self-knowledge. Swami Sivananda taught to love, serve, and meditate for liberation. Ego must vanish for attainment. A learned professor came to Sivananda. Sivananda bowed to the knowledge within him. The professor sat with pride, massaging his foot. Sivananda asked if he learned all yogas, including the bedpan service. The professor did not know that yoga. Next morning, Sivananda took him to serve the toilet pots. The professor refused, but time will teach. Ego, hatred, jealousy push the seeker down. Rajab wore a wedding crown, and his guru warned it leads to hell. Rajab renounced and stayed with the guru. The guru dressed him in fine clothes to test others’ jealousy. When the guru stopped at a dirty channel, only Rajab lay down as a bridge, disregarding his garments. Others were jealous but feared soiling their robes. Real attainment is inner, through the guru’s hint and mantra, opening the heart-lotus. "I bow down to that knowledge. When that knowledge is in you, you are a very valuable suitcase." "Rājab, tūne gajab kiyā, sir pe bāndhā mor, āyā to Hari bhajan ko, jā rahā narak kī or." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

World peace arises from spiritual knowledge and practice. Knowledge alone is insufficient; it must be applied. The Vedas provide this practical wisdom through three paths: action, devotion, and knowledge. True knowledge reveals the world as one family. Protecting this family requires rising above divisions. Health and inner peace are foundations, cultivated through yoga and meditation. Saints distribute this knowledge. By accepting and living it, individual well-being fosters global peace. Satsang, or holy company, transforms the mind toward truth. Teaching these principles in family and society spreads peace. Ultimately, peace within creates peace in the world. "Sab ke pās knowledge bhī hotā hai, lekin khālī knowledge hī rahe jātā hai. It does not come in practical life." "Yogaścitta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ. Yoga begins when our consciousness is controlled, restrained from its various modifications." Filming locations: Queens, New York, United States.

The Śrī Svāmī Mādhavānanda World Peace Council and Yoga in Daily Life work for global peace and sustainable development, guided by the principles of non-violence and service. These organizations support the United Nations' goals through concrete humanitarian projects. They operate schools and a college to provide education, with a focus on gender equality and aiding the underprivileged. A charitable hospital works to improve community health and maternal care. Environmental initiatives include a large-scale tree planting program and a desert rainwater harvesting project to secure water for arid regions. Animal protection is practiced through sanctuaries, rooted in the principle of ahimsa. The underlying philosophy teaches that lasting peace begins within each individual through inner harmony. Yoga is presented as a universal science for uniting body, mind, and consciousness, fostering the awareness needed for external peace. True change arises from personal transformation and selfless action for the welfare of all beings. "Helping hands have more value than folded hands." "One in all and all in one."
