Sādhanā requires unwavering devotion. Success demands complete dedication to one's chosen path. The mind, like the moon, constantly changes its plans and feelings. One must repeatedly return the mind to the aim. Inner vision must be directed to the guru's lotus feet. The heart lotus must be opened with the ointment of divine name. One must remain above worldly attachments, like a lotus in water. Every action generates a reaction through body, mind, and speech. For liberation, practice four sādhanās. First is viveka: discern the eternal reality from the changing illusion. Realize "Brahma is real, the world is unreal." Second is vairāgya: cultivate intense, constant dispassion toward the transient world. Third is ṣaṭ-sampatti: attain the six inner treasures like control of the senses and endurance. Fourth is mumukṣutva: have a burning longing for liberation. All yoga paths are interconnected; one cannot practice only one. Karma yoga purifies through selfless action. Work is worship. The guru's grace burns away karma. "Ākhiyāṁ Satguru charaṇome lagī, merī kishmat jagī." "Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India DVD 416

Pūrṇimā signifies completeness, reflecting the universe within the human body. The entire cosmos, including fourteen worlds and 2,100 universes, is projected in this physical form. This body is a temple and a coach pulled by the ten indriyas, which must be controlled by intellect and viveka. You are part of the universe and are a universe yourself. The mantra "Om Pūrṇamada Pūrṇamidam" teaches that completeness remains complete. To perceive this cosmic reflection, you must meditate, practice Kriyā, and engage in sādhanā with devotion. Without consistent practice, you lose jñāna, dhyāna, and bhakti. The full moon's energy influences all life, causing emotional and biological changes. Fasting and satsaṅg on this day help purify the body and direct energy spiritually. Only your sādhanā and prayers accompany you beyond life; all else is left behind. The aim is Ātma-jñāna. "Yathā Brahmāṇḍe Tathā Piṇḍe. Brahmāṇḍa is the universe. Piṇḍa means this physical body." "Three things will not come back: time, the bullet from the weapon, and the soul from the body."

The nature of prāṇa and the kośas is subtle and profound. Prāṇa is not oxygen and has no direct English translation. It is the vital force that defines a living entity, a prāṇī. When prāṇa leaves, one dies. The jīva is the life principle, closely connected to prāṇa but not identical to a soul. As long as prāṇa is in the body, you are alive. It leaves last from the heart. Its departure is painful, like a heart attack where blocked blood flow causes severe spasms. Prāṇa is the cement that binds the five kośas—Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, Vijñānamaya, and Ānandamaya—together. Your diet influences your prāṇa, and your prāṇa influences your mind. The mind is powerful; if you are its slave, you will suffer. In meditation, direct your breath and consciousness along the spine from the Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra to control mental fluctuations. At death, only one question matters: what will become of me? The mind must be attracted to the Divine at that final moment. Purify your energy and mind to understand the Prāṇamaya Kośa. You need guidance to cross this ocean. "Prāṇa is very hard to understand and describe. What is the prāṇa? Oxygen is not Prāṇa." "As long as prāṇa is in the body, you are alive."

The Ātmā is covered by five kośas: the physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and causal bodies. The human physical body is made from the five elements, like all of 8.4 million life forms. Humans are not alone; we are meant to be protectors of all creatures and the planet. The root of dharma is dayā, mercy towards every living being. The root of sin is ego and pride. Without mercy, the heart hardens and the kośas become polluted. Modern problems like climate change stem from human greed, not other creatures. Parents must educate children in saṃskāras and culture. The greeting "praṇām" invokes a blessing, while "bye-bye" does not. A story illustrates that countless blessings from saying "praṇām" can overcome a destined short life. Blessings from parents, teachers, and sages provide protection and śakti. Life is temporary; only your karma accompanies you. Purify the five kośas to end suffering. "Dayā dharm kā mūl hai, pāp mūl abhimān." "Dharma rakṣata rakṣata. If you protect the dharma, dharma will protect you." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India DVD 412

Purification of the physical body, the Annamaya Kośa, is the foundation for all other layers of being. Haṭha Yoga and Āyurveda provide the discipline and methods for this purification. The quality of our food directly shapes our physical and mental states, governed by the guṇas. A proper diet includes whole grains, legumes, organic vegetables and fruits, and traditional foods like ghee and sweets in limited, digestible amounts. Overcooked vegetables lose vitamins, while fresh, sun-exposed fruits are vital. Soybeans provide more protein than meat. White flour and processed foods are harmful. Fasting and practices like Kāya Kalpa regenerate the body but require strict discipline. Freshly cooked meals consumed promptly prevent food from becoming tāmasic. Health is the primary wealth, and everything depends on a purified Annamaya Kośa. "Health is not everything. But everything is nothing without health." "Jaisā khāyegā ann, vaisā rahegā man; jaisā pīyegā pānī, vaisī bolegā bānī." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India DVD 411

Spiritual progress rests on two pillars: motivation and practice. Motivation comes from teachings, yet clarity often arrives suddenly after long exposure. However, understanding alone is insufficient; you must undertake the practical journey. Practice requires continuity, not sporadic effort. Remote learning provides motivation but lacks the reality of a Master's physical presence, which is essential for receiving certain techniques and individual guidance. Some advanced group practices should only be done collectively under the Master's energy, as solo attempts cause difficulties. Yet, a daily personal meditation is beneficial. True experience differs from recorded representations; being physically present is transformative. Spiritual growth demands surrendering negative qualities like ego and greed. Theoretical knowledge alone is temporary; real growth requires internal change, honest self-acceptance, and the discipline fostered in a live setting. "Yoga is not for the general. Yoga is individual." "The seed you put in the ground has to die." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 410

Prāṇāyāma is the divine science of life itself, connecting individual consciousness to the cosmic source. Life begins with an inhalation and ends with an exhalation; the breath between is the wave of our existence. This breath is not merely oxygen exchange but our link to the cosmic mother and father, the universal consciousness that nourishes all. Our individual consciousness is a child of that cosmic source, neutral and beyond bodily gender. The prāṇa, or life force, permeates all five elements and the entire universe. Yogis researched this through meditation, mapping the five bodies and the journey of the soul across lifetimes and worlds. True human development requires mindful living: proper nourishment (Āhāra), environment (Vihāra), conduct (Ācāra), and thought (Vicāra). Prāṇāyāma is the exercise of this prāṇa, following Āsana, to balance the system, ensure health, and achieve the human mission. Practice must be daily and disciplined, coordinated with breath and movement, feeling the expansion and contraction of the prāṇa body. Mastery requires years of consistent practice, purifying the mind and intellect, leading to oneness. "Life is the breath, and breath is the life." "Prāṇāyāma is life, not a source of life, but itself is life." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 409

Yoga is the eternal principle that harmonizes the cosmic consciousness with individual life. The universe, governed by the one Brahman, manifested from a supreme will expressed as the sound Oṁ. Within this creation, the human being is a unique form with intellect, meant for self-realization—the recognition of the immortal, universal ātmā within. Our daily life, however, is often spent identifying with the temporary body, mind, and individual soul, which experiences pleasure and pain. True human purpose is to awaken from this and reunite with the divine source. This requires conscious living: reminding oneself of one's human dignity, cultivating noble qualities, and following one's dharma while keeping the ultimate aim of liberation. Yoga practice supports this by promoting health, discipline, and inner contentment, aligning the individual with the universal. "Therefore, it is said, God Kṛṣṇa in the Bhagavad Gītā also said: 'Weapon cannot kill, fire cannot burn, water cannot wet, air cannot dry, and dust cannot take away.' That is your identity." "And it is Ādiguru Śaṅkarācārya who said: 'Who am I? From where did I come? What is the purpose of coming here? And where will I go? I am not this body... I am the immortal one.'"

Lord Śiva embodies the principles of spiritual discipline and liberation. All mantras and knowledge originate from Śiva. Within the Trinity, Brahmā creates the body, Viṣṇu sustains the being, and Śiva provides liberation by destroying negativity. Śiva is also the formless universal consciousness, first manifested as the sound Oṁ. Meditation on Oṁ requires devotion. Spiritual discipline is essential, exemplified by strict fasting. On a fasting day, one must not consume any grain; even tasting breaks the fast. This discipline purifies. All actions, including eating and karma yoga, contain an element of selfishness, but it can be healthy. Rituals and respect for holy objects are the spices that make spirituality tasteful. Practice āsanas and prāṇāyāma consciously, seeing your body as a holy temple. Breathe with awareness, for breath is life. Meditate to cleanse the heart and see the divine Self in all. This disciplined sādhanā leads to rapid spiritual development. "Śiva means consciousness, that cosmic consciousness." "Nothing in this creation and in this world is selfless."

The essence of yoga is controlling the mind to realize the true Self. Patañjali's first sūtra defines yoga as the cessation of mental modifications. This control is achieved by detaching from senses and thoughts, concentrating on the truth "I am the Ātmā, not the body." This practice, ātmā cintan, leads to experiential glimpses (ātmā anubhūti) and culminates in direct knowledge (ātmā bodha). To guide others, a teacher must study foundational texts like Patañjali's Yoga Sūtras and Śaṅkarācārya's works on non-dual Vedānta. The soul is an individual reflection of the eternal Ātmā, bound by karma until liberation. The greatest obstacle to this wisdom is not knowing Sanskrit, though translations exist. True discipline leads to stabilization in one's real nature. "Yogaḥ citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ." "Ātmā is nityam śuddham nirākāram nitya bodhaṁ cidānandam (everlasting, pure, formless, eternal knowledge and bliss)." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 405

Change is constant in the universe, life, and mind; our happiness depends on how we perceive it. We cannot stop change. Experts often discuss problems like climate change without offering solutions. The wise accept their ignorance and observe change without attachment, like watching a river flow. Life is that river, flowing between the banks of happiness and unhappiness. Time is precious and flows unceasingly. Neglecting spiritual practice leaves the heart empty, allowing negative forces to enter. The heart is a temple meant for the Divine, filled only through constant remembrance, mantra repetition, and work. Surrender to the Guru is essential to transcend the ego and change. True devotees see the divine light of the master in all directions and in everyone. Do not waste time in gossip or criticism, as this is a sin against the human opportunity. Practice diligently. "Mano mātra jagata—how your mind is projecting, like that the world appears in front of you." "Your heart was empty, and these troubles were waiting and waiting for the opportunity, the chance to enter in." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 404

Meditation faces inevitable disturbances from the three fires of existence. The world is inherently active, born from sound, and filled with thoughts connected to our latent impressions. These disturbances are categorized as ādhibhautik (from creatures), ādhidaivik (from energies and illness), and ādhyātmik (from within). They are the three tapas that burn. One cannot escape them by fleeing to solitude. A mantra is essential as a guiding torchlight through this jungle. Welcome all thoughts during meditation; use discernment to answer them, allowing them to merge back into calmness like waves into the ocean. If no thoughts arise, something is wrong. The mantra protects and leads beyond the physical level. Problems with the Maṇipūra, Anāhata, and Viśuddhi chakras have lifelong effects, especially when generating negative speech. Do not carry others' problems; instead, be one who resolves them. At death, one reviews all actions, and only the mantra provides light. Meditation without a mantra is like a body without a soul. Share your time through blessings and positive human qualities, which can alter destiny. The mantra dissolves the three fires, leading to unshakable happiness and ultimately to seedless samadhi. "During meditation, welcome all thoughts. When there are no more thoughts, then be sure something is wrong with you." "Meditation without a mantra is like a dead body which has no soul inside."

The cosmic Śakti is the universal energy that unites consciousness and creation, manifesting within all beings. This energy, the Kuṇḍalinī Śakti, flows through 72,000 nāḍīs in the human body, with three primary channels: Iḍā (moon, mind, emotion), Piṅgalā (sun, intellect, action), and Suṣumṇā (consciousness). The body's energy centers, or chakras, correspond to the five elements and different states of awareness, from the unconscious Mūlādhāra to the superconscious Sahasrāra. Awakening this energy requires discipline in diet, behavior, and thought, guided by mantra and meditation to purify subconscious impressions and past karma. This path leads from individual consciousness to cosmic consciousness, culminating in union with the divine. "The force within this which will guide you and which will give you the different experiences, happiness, that is what you call the kuṇḍalinī." "Without mantra, without guru mantra, you cannot awaken your kuṇḍalinī, and if you do, then there can be complications." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 402

The solution to global climate change is found within the individual, through correcting our inner climate. The outer crisis reflects an inner one of mental pollution, greed, and adharma. True sustainability is spiritual, requiring a return to dharma and ancient wisdom. This planet is a holy, living entity being destroyed by human desire. The imbalance in nature mirrors the turmoil within us, seen in broken families, disease, and attachment. Change must begin by purifying our thoughts and actions through spiritual practice like meditation, mantra, and satsang. Only by stabilizing our inner climate through devotion can we heal the outer world. "Peace begins from one heart, and charity begins from one home." "The hot climate is within the human thoughts. Everything is created by the mental pollution of the humans." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 400

The mind is a wish-fulfilling tree that grants desires which ultimately destroy us. We journey through a barren desert of life, navigating by stars and sun. A traveler, walking 50 kilometers on sand, finds a large tree for rest. He wishes for water, food, and a bed, and they appear. He then fears a ghost in the tree will kill him, and that fear manifests, killing him. This tree is the Kalpavṛkṣa, where any thought becomes reality. We are given a physical body, this temporary tree. Through it, we can fulfill wishes, but ambition and greed trap us beneath it. The mind is the ghost within the tree; we are its slaves, and it will destroy us. Another tale tells of a king who visits an ascetic. The ascetic reveals the king is a slave to his own mind, which the ascetic has mastered. Do not forget your ultimate destination on this journey. Do not become stuck in the illusions and desires of the physical form. "Under this tree, whatever you wish or whatever you think comes true." "You are the slave of my slave... My mind is my slave, and you are the slave of the mind." Filming location: Szeged, HU DVD 398

The body, mind, and soul must be harmonized. The body is a mortal structure of five elements, born to grow and die. It is a miraculous creation, yet a source of attachment and pain when imbalanced. The mind is an unseen function processing senses, desires, and intellect, often restless from unfulfilled cravings. The soul is the individual identity carrying karma, distinct from the universal, immortal Ātmā. Disharmony among these three causes suffering, even leading to despair. Yoga is the ancient science of balance and union. It uses gentle exercises, breath control like Prāṇāyāma, and techniques such as Brahmārī to regulate emotions, purify the mind, and guide consciousness toward liberation, creating harmony. "Yoga means balancing principle... Where there is a balance, there is a harmony." "Ātmā is immortal. Everlasting. Will never die. And never born." Filming location: Hungary DVD 397

Yoga in daily life is harmony for body, mind, and soul. Harmony is perfect health: physical, mental, social, and spiritual. Emotional problems arise from inner discontent and distorted thinking, affecting glandular systems and digestion. Ambition, connected to ego, leads to anger and misinterpreting others' good intentions. Disharmony manifests as tension, conflict, and an aura that darkens with negative thoughts. The soul radiates energy, touching the body's centers; harmonious thoughts brighten the aura. Family and communal gatherings, like shared meals and singing, create resonance that removes disharmony. If lacking a family, join a spiritual community. Satsang is essential, as spiritual companionship provides the wisdom-nourishment the soul requires. Practice Brahmari Pranayama to heal inner gaps and restore harmony. Positive thinking and acceptance are necessary; rejection breeds tension. All are interconnected parts of the one spiritual family. "Mental disappointment, disharmony, and emotion can cause physical trouble, social trouble, and spiritual trouble." "Where every day is the satsaṅg, bhagīsuī jana pavé. The blessed or fortunate ones are those who can go every day to the satsaṅg." Filming location: Hungary DVD 396

The world is one family under one God, yet human greed creates conflict and suffering. Modern life neglects ancient spiritual heritage, leading to unhappiness. Environmental crisis stems from this greed. True contentment comes from wisdom, not materialism. Yoga is the complete practical path to this wisdom, rooted in divine lineage from the Himalayas. All humans are one race; differences in skin color are superficial, as we share the same five elements and blood. Our souls are individual and suffer due to karma, but the true Self does not suffer. Enlightenment dissolves individuality into the divine, like a drop in the ocean. Human life's aim is God-realization, using our intellect for protection and love, not destruction. Practice, not theory, is essential. Global harmony requires vegetarianism and non-violence, the highest principle. "Mother Earth has enough for everyone's needs, but not for everyone's greed." "Non-violence is the highest principle. If you can realize in your heart non-violence, you will be the happiest and spiritually divine person." Filming location: Szeged, HU DVD 395

Wisdom is a divine heritage that must be transmitted or it disappears with the individual. Great saints always seek a successor. A story tells of a princess who disfigured her beauty to successfully spread her father's spiritual message, as her appearance was an obstacle. Another story tells of a king who could not obtain a spiritual power through force or threats; only after a year of disguised, humble service was he blessed with it. Wisdom flows only to a humble and devoted disciple, not through oppression. This transmission is the living tradition, the guru principle. Any talent or knowledge you possess is a heritage you should pass to a worthy recipient, but not negative traits. Spiritual knowledge, like a precious stone, transforms the disciple into a master. The disciple must be a perfect vessel, free from cracks of doubt or bad ambitions, achieved through years of observation and practice. Protect this inner flame of wisdom from being blown out by wrong thoughts or actions. Spiritual festivals remind us of divine incarnations and inspire reflection, love, and forgiveness. They connect us to the purpose of life: to earn and transmit spiritual light. "Knowledge is the blessing of God, and this knowledge which you possess... will otherwise disappear with you." "Wisdom flows through love, humbleness, and kindness." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 393

The nature of birth, saints, and incarnations reveals our state in the world. All beings are born, yet the true Self is never born and never dies. The body and its elements merely transform; nothing truly dies. The soul is an identity formed by karma and consciousness. When negative karma dissolves, liberation is possible. This world is a place of action and consequence. A saint is one who, born human, through spiritual practice and ethical living, attains divine consciousness, like Buddha. An incarnation also has a body of five elements but arrives voluntarily, not from personal karma. We all possess dormant divine powers. An incarnation is like an active flame, while we are like dormant fire in iron. Attachment is the root of all suffering, binding us to cycles of rebirth. Love brings freedom; attachment brings jealousy and hatred. A self-realized being, even if briefly attached, can be pulled back into birth. Saints and incarnations, like a lake, tree, sun, or rain, belong to everyone without attachment. We remember the saints, who are immortal. "Where there is love, there is freedom. And where there is attachment, there is no freedom." "Be like a tree. We throw a stone, and the tree does not throw the stone back. It gives us something." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 392

The divine light of Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī is commemorated on his Mahāsamādhi day. An incarnation is born with all divine powers, unlike a Siddha who attains them through discipline. His birth was foretold with divine signs. The festival of Diwali, celebrating light and prosperity, marks his incarnation. On that day, all oil lamps miraculously relit at his birth, with rains of saffron and milk. He lived approximately 135 years, during which many divine miracles occurred naturally through his presence, not by demonstration. For a yogi, spiritual powers are a final illusion. The key is to be a worthy vessel to receive grace. The individual soul cycles through birth and death based on karma, but the true Self is immortal. When a great saint leaves the body, it is not death but merging with the infinite Brahman. If they are one with Brahman, help comes through the devotee's own faith and devotion, which creates the form of assistance. Your spiritual feeling is what unites you to the divine. "Siddhi is a māyā for a yogī or a sādhaka." "Your bhāva, it is our devotion, it is our faith that helps us." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 391

The inner light is the divine spark within all beings, manifest through the chakras. Missionary work creates restlessness; let each believe as they do. Each person carries a tiny light of God, not to be a prophet but to enlighten the world. Darkness cannot remove darkness; only light can. This light is transmitted through the eight chakras, which are created before the physical body and persist in the astral form. The physical world is a field of action, karma bhūmi, where deeds shape destiny. The universal Ātmā is the one light in all, while the individual soul carries karma and is reborn. The Maṇipūra chakra is the jeweled city, the first center of manifestation and fire where prāṇa meets apāna. It governs energy, digestion, and emotional reactions, influencing health and psychic state. Through practices like Agni Sāra Kriyā and mantra, one can protect and purify this center, coordinating the lower chakras to build a solid, clear being. "Let live to live. Let them believe how they believe." "Light means the light, not darkness. Life means life, not death." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic DVD 390

Life flows like a river toward oneness, with obstacles appearing as temporary islands. The connection between consciousness is eternal, continuing through many lives. The spiritual path has thorns, but its essence is a beautiful flower leading to divine beauty. Life is eternal light; death is only for the body. The problem is the individual ego, which blinds us to our own mistakes. Therefore, look within through self-inquiry. The spiritual path is one of purification. The aim is to achieve a state beyond jealousy, anger, attachment, greed, and ambition. In deep sleep, there is no difference between rich and poor, pain and pleasure. Meditation cultivates this unified state of happiness. Yoga is ancient, preceding all modern religions. The Vedas are a science of universal knowledge. Identify not with a sect but as a human united by universal principles. Greed, not religion, is the problem. A sustainable world requires a vegetarian lifestyle, as meat consumption wastes vast resources and causes suffering. Every mother loves her children; causing animal pain creates negative karma. Modern consumption habits are destroying the planet. Spirituality is a way of life: reject disposable goods, live simply and naturally. Protect all life and inspire others to do the same. "Life is flowing like a river, and many things flow together." "Where there’s life, there’s no death, and where there’s death, there’s no life." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic DVD 389

The spiritual journey is a process of uninterrupted development toward fruition, akin to a fruit ripening on a tree. Achievement ends the path and all struggle. This process requires continuity; any interruption—a lack of discipline, devotion, or exposure to bad company—spoils the development, just as a single wasp sting ruins an apple. Your life phase does not matter; the process must continue. This demands detachment and the endurance to face all situations. It requires devotion, a final decision where your entire being belongs to that point. Doubt is losing. Many begin and stop, thinking home practice is enough, but they fall out. Coming together for spiritual discourse and the grace of seeing the teacher is incomparable; it is like rain for thirsty plants. Never think you know much; what you know is nothing. A seeker constantly moves forward despite the changing body and mind. Do not stop out of laziness or excuses like money; work and attend. If you stop practicing, you alone lose. Our gatherings provide inspiration and grace beyond daily practice. Make your resolve today to begin with yoga, then life. In every center, engage with sacred texts and deeply contemplate the teachings. "Gurudev darśan dhan ho." Darśan is very important. Darśan is like rain for thirsty plants. "I know that I don't know."

The mission of human life is self-realization. Today commemorates the victory of truth over falsehood. To navigate life successfully, ask five questions daily. First, remember "I am a human," which awakens inner discernment to avoid negative actions. Human qualities like knowledge, kindness, and forgiveness distinguish us; these hidden treasures must be protected. Neglecting these qualities for negative thoughts spoils them, like lemon in milk. Dry intellect without devotion is lost. The prime mission is not worldly achievements but Ātmā-jñāna, realizing the universal Self within all. This human birth offers unique tools for this purpose. Life is a transient theater; we must use our time to realize the immortal Ātmā. Liberation requires sincere practice and unshakable faith in the guiding grace. "God does not want these tricks. God Kṛṣṇa, Gopāla, is happy when you are doing really with an honest heart, with love." "In this Kali Yuga, we have only one hope: the name of God, mantra, your mantra. Repeat and repeat and repeat. O human, you will cross the ocean." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 386

A call for conscious living and universal love beyond human exclusivity. The cosmic mother and father love all creatures equally. A primary error is the exclusive concept of "humanitarian," which discriminates against other life. Global crises like climate change are deeply linked to meat consumption, a karma shared by the breeder, seller, butcher, and consumer. The solution is vegetarianism, recognizing the divine Self in all beings. True health comes from the external environment—forests, oceans, fields—not just personal practice. Yoga in Daily Life means renouncing selfishness to live for the entire world. Limit your needs, reduce waste, and consume mindfully. Throwing away food is a sin. Conflict arises from differences in religion, caste, and nationality. The solution is the mantra for universal happiness. A yoga teacher must first learn to love fellow teachers, then extend that love to all. Spiritual practice without love is lifeless, like prayers offered with a heart of discrimination. "God does not make differences. The mother does not make differences." "Your duty is also to respect the holy creation of the divine will. Love them, feed them, don't eat them." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 384

Yoga in daily life extends beyond personal health to encompass society and planetary peace. It is not merely physical exercise but a comprehensive practice. The ego claims ownership of the planet, yet we belong to it as guests. This false ownership sows seeds of conflict—over territory, family, and caste—causing global unrest. True practice requires cleansing inner dissatisfaction and conflict. External rituals like wearing stones are less potent than polishing one's own inner being, the most precious stone. The practice of mālā is an offering of the mind; its power flows from the practitioner's thoughts and feelings during repetition. Caution is needed most from oneself. Yoga must transcend selfishness to include physical, mental, social, and spiritual health for the entire planet. The story of a devoted king tested by God illustrates the severity of trials required to uphold one's word and principles for the sake of truth, demonstrating the depth of surrender beyond mere theory. "Mother Earth has enough for everyone’s needs, but never enough for greed." "Polish your stone." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 383

The Divine Mother is of two kinds. The first is the physical mother who gives birth for personal desire and introduces family and worldly roles, not divinity. The second is the Divine Mother, described in the Vedas, who awakens the child to its true nature. This mother reveals you are purity, wisdom, and beyond illusion. Such a mother is a divine guru. Realizing this knowledge makes one a divine mother. We are the luckiest beings, not sinners. "One kind of mother all human beings have when they get birth from a lady." "śuddho 'si, buddho 'si, nirañjano 'si... you are beyond māyā, beyond this visible world." Filming location: Bratislava, Slovakia DVD 382

The spiritual lineage flows from divine consciousness to the disciple. The Guru is Parabrahma, the ultimate reality. The disciple must surrender ego to merge with this truth. Prepared intellectual speech is old food; true teaching flows spontaneously from grace. The goal is not liberation alone but union with Brahman. The Guru transforms the disciple's essence, as the Gaṅgā purifies all water entering it. One must remain within this flow through devotion and discipline. Physical sight cannot perceive the divine light; the inner eye must open through mantra and the Guru's grace. Miracles demonstrate the Guru's power, but the core is unwavering connection. True wealth is devotion, and sincere devotees are provided for. Never forget the Guru, for the river is only holy while connected to its source. "Let it come what it comes." "Gurudeva makes the disciple also into Gurudeva." Filming location: London, UK DVD 381

Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, and consciousness for Self-realization. It is the balancing principle between space and cosmic consciousness. The first manifestation in the universe was the cosmic sound Oṁ, the resonance from which the five elements and all creation emerged. The human being, one of 8.4 million life forms, possesses intellect. Our true identity is the immortal ātmā, not the individual soul bound by karma. We possess five bodies, from the physical to the blissful sheath. Liberation, or Mokṣa, is achieved by dissolving individual identity to become one with Brahman. This requires transcending karma created by thought, word, wealth, and action. The human body is a microcosm of the universe, with energy channels and chakras. The Kuṇḍalinī energy rests at the base of the spine. Its awakening through discipline and purification leads to wisdom and ultimate union. Practice is essential over mere theory. "Yoga is the balancing principle which balances all visible and invisible elements in the universe." "Know thyself' is the answer to all your sufferings." Filming location: London, UK DVD 378

Spirituality is the pure, divine consciousness within, beyond religious dogma. The universe is concentrated in the human heart, which is meant to be God's residence through compassion and love. Humanity's first duty is to protect all creation. The individual soul, covered by layers of karma and five bodies, is separate from the universal Self. Karma is the philosophy of action and reaction; our destiny is the product of our past deeds. Our current actions, which should be full of love, are in our hands. The physical world and body are impermanent, but karmic layers persist. The soul experiences physical and astral realities. The goal is to realize universal consciousness and reunite the individual with the cosmic One, a unity achieved through love and yoga, not ignorance. Humans possess an intellect that can be educated and developed. True education cultivates spiritual qualities and asks the fundamental questions of human purpose. The mission is to be a protector and achieve self-realization, freeing oneself from the cycle of karma and rebirth through spiritual practice. "Karma is the action which is in your hands. Our actions should be full of compassion." "The main aim of human life is to be a protector and get self-realization or God-realization, to become free from this bondage of karma."

Prāṇa is the fundamental life energy, distinct from breath, oxygen, or food. It sustains all living beings and harmonizes the physical and astral bodies. This energy is deeply connected to immunity; pure Prāṇa fosters health, while polluted Prāṇa weakens it. Prāṇāyāma is the exercise of this energy. Proper nourishment is essential Prāṇāyāma, requiring knowledge of seasonal foods and cooking science, or Pakṣāstra. Fasting purifies Prāṇa and regenerates the body when done correctly. Lifestyle and behavior also regulate Prāṇa; a positive atmosphere and loving conduct increase it, while fear and negativity deplete it. Ultimately, Prāṇa is non-dual consciousness, the very source of life. "Prāṇa is not oxygen. Prāṇa is not the breath. And Prāṇa is not what you derive from food." "Practicing Prāṇāyāma means taking care of your food. First is Āhāra (diet), and second is Vihāra (lifestyle/recreation)." Filming location: To b DVD 376

Human life is a precious opportunity for spiritual development and self-realization to escape the cycle of rebirth. We must be constantly God-conscious in thought and action, with faithful, unconditional love. Our aim is to realize the universal Ātmā, not the individual soul bound by karma. Even divine beings exemplify spiritual pursuit; Śiva meditates on Viṣṇu's cosmic form, and Viṣṇu meditates on Śiva as pure consciousness. In a Himalayan tale, Pārvatī persistently asks Śiva why he wears a garland of skulls. He reveals they are her past skulls, kept out of love that transcends death. Distressed by her mortality, she begs for the secret of immortality. Śiva agrees but insists on strict conditions to prevent universal disruption. He renounces his companions, finds a secluded cave, and creates a ring of fire to ensure secrecy. As he teaches Pārvatī, she must stay awake and affirm each point. She falls asleep, but a parrot chick from a surviving egg listens and responds, receiving the immortal wisdom instead. "Human life is given to protect all creatures, love God's creation, and attain self-realization, Mokṣa, Amaratattva." "Pārvatī, I will make you, your body and your ātmā, your soul, immortal. But if you are a devotee of the Lord God, why are you scared?" Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 374

Spiritual practice requires a specific technique, loyalty, and pure love to realize the divine goal. Without a proper method, nothing works, just as a screw needs the right screwdriver. Loyalty is an inseparable love, like that between a tree and its fruit or a mother and child; it is faithfulness to oneself and one's practice. Inner feeling is essential, for without it, all is lost. Satsaṅg brings joy and liberation, while bad company brings suffering like a disease. The path is as sharp as a knife's edge, requiring constant balance. Spirituality is purity of consciousness—pure feelings, thoughts, and conduct unite you with God. God desires only love, not material offerings. When love is present, there is no distance; it telepathically connects and propels you toward the goal. Every moment not devoted to God is lost time. Practice means changing your inner attitude, not just closing your eyes. "Nothing works without technique. It is like a mechanism. We need a technique." "God needs love. Surrender of trust. Lost is like a bird that has lost its wings." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria DVD 373

True freedom arises from inner strength, not external dependencies. Seeking answers from astrologers or fortune-tellers only creates confusion and fear; these practices cannot truly see the past or future. Similarly, the belief that magic can influence you is a psychological fear that weakens your own willpower. Your unhappiness stems from inner weakness, fear, and attachment. The aim of human life is liberation from all karmic bondage and dependency. Do not depend on anyone—physically, emotionally, mentally, or financially—for this creates suffering. Practice detachment, for nothing you consider yours is permanent. A beautiful partnership is one of shared devotion and freedom, not dependency, where two souls unite in love without losing their inner liberty. "These people who are prophesying cannot see into the future, only psychology." "It is your fear that creates this... no magic can influence you. It is your weak thoughts and fear that are a terrible magic." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 372

The central theme is cultivating bhāva, meaning devotion, love, and trust, which determines spiritual gain or loss. This principle applies universally. Without bhāva, doubt creates separation and darkness. With unwavering bhāva, every cell vibrates with positive, healing light, creating oneness and dispelling negativity. This requires singular focus in practice and devotion. Mixing methods or harboring doubt invites failure. True devotion means unwavering trust in one master or path, which unites and liberates. Preserve this inner focus to maintain the light. "Bhagavān bhāv ke bhūkhe hai. God is only hungry for your bhāva." "Rahiman, dhaga prem ka mat toro chitkaya. The thread of love is very fragile. Do not break it out of your ignorance or doubt." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 371

Satsaṅg is the glory and the means to self-realization. All wisdom and spiritual development come from being with truth. Bad company is plentiful. Some, like a bitter pumpkin in holy water or a stone in the ocean, do not change; inner bitterness remains unless the heart finds its divine refuge. Satsaṅg is that boat to cross the ocean of ignorance. Human life is rare, and satsaṅg in this age is rarer still. Divine bliss is found there. Love functions in relationship, like between a devotee and the Divine. Satisfaction is needed; then bliss begins. Vairāgya, Jñāna, Tyāga, and Bhakti must be in balance. Desire is the great disease. Satsaṅg transforms, as ordinary wood near sandalwood becomes fragrant or dirty water merging in the Gaṅgā becomes holy. The blessed get this opportunity. One must be the disciple who acts without being asked, like the receptive worm that transforms into a wasp through concentrated resonance. Ultimately, one builds the inner temple. "So bow, satsaṅgī. What a glory of the satsaṅg." "Through the satsaṅg, param ānand sukha pāī." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 370

Svara Yoga balances breath for consciousness and liberation. The moon and sun nostrils govern emotion and intellect, mirroring lunar phases influencing nature and action. Human life has lost its natural rhythm with these cycles. Yogic consciousness remains awake even in sleep, known as Yoga Nidra. This practice widens awareness to perceive future events like illness or death by observing prana. The Ida and Pingala nadis alternate flow approximately every 45 minutes. Sleep position directs this flow: sleeping on the left side activates the right, solar nadi at night. Upon waking, the active nadi should align with the lunar fortnight—solar in the dark phase, lunar in the bright. Physical methods, like pressing the opposite armpit, can change the active nostril. The ultimate aim is to guide prana through the central Sushumna nadi to the crown chakra, the door to liberation. This merger of energy with consciousness is the essence of Kundalini and Tantra. The mantra OM resonates to activate this pathway. Daily activities like eating or walking should align with the correct nasal flow to master this science, making life clear and stable. "Widen your consciousness, you can become aware when you will die, which day, which time you can tell, when you will become ill, because you see the color of your prāṇa." "Finally, the aim is this: that our prāṇa should flow through the suṣumṇā to the sahasrāra cakra... the door to Brahman or the door to the Supreme." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 368

Śaṅkarācārya incarnated to restore the non-dual truth of Sanātana Dharma. Long ago, non-dualism was suppressed and dualism spread, obscuring the eternal principles. Śaṅkarācārya taught there is only one universal Ātmā—the one moon reflecting in every lake. Duality and fear exist only through ignorance, like mistaking a rope for a snake. When knowledge dawns, the oneness is seen. He revived the principle of seeing Brahman in everything. He established monastic centers and reformed rules, allowing sincere renunciation at any age. His successors continue to protect this Dharma. This protection is a perpetual struggle between higher and lower forces. Thus, structures were created to uphold the truth against misleading dualistic views. The renunciate's orange cloth symbolizes the purifying fire of this commitment. "Śaṅkarācārya incarnated to bring back this non-dualism: 'I am not this body... I am the Ātmā.'" "Whenever dharma gets lost... I manifest myself." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 367

True devotion is singular surrender to the divine. Many practice devotion, but the true devotee is one who sees the object of devotion as God and surrenders completely. Mastery comes from unwavering focus on one; seeking everything leads to loss. A devotee's sole wish is for divine service across all lives, desiring only the Lord's presence in thought, word, and deed. When the Guru, the source of all, is with you, what more is there to wish for? To have the Guru belong to you is to have everything. Do not waver in confidence. If you feel separation, trouble arises. Devotion is a fragile thread; once broken, it cannot be fully rejoined. There is devotion with desire and devotion without desire. The latter seeks only divine union. "Remove all my desires, only towards you, and let my love grow day by day to you." "When I found my Lord, the Lord of my heart, what should I search for more?"

Teachers must practice what they teach. Many who call themselves teachers are out of practice, while beginners are in better condition. Teachers who only instruct without demonstrating become unfit. Those who practice and correct postures remain healthy and inspire students. A consistent daily practice, like that of a 90-year-old teacher, yields flexibility and vitality. Students observe a teacher's condition; if it is poor, they leave. People need strict, hard work to feel compelled to return. Bhastrikā prāṇāyāma warms the body, cleans the respiratory system, and expands lung capacity. It strengthens the diaphragm and improves immunity. Life depends on breath; its cessation brings immense fear. Value each breath and use time wisely, for it will not return. The heart serves constantly; care for it and keep it strong through practice. "As long as you don't do it yourself, you are lost." "Life begins with the breath and will end with the breath." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 365

We practice the three bandhas together as Mahābandha. Bandha means to block or tighten, creating opposition to develop strength and energy, like pressure clearing a blocked drain. Contracting the anus muscle in Mūlabandha creates a pleasant sensation ascending the spine, pulling energy toward the head. This strengthens muscles controlling apāna, aiding issues like hemorrhoids, incontinence, and prostate health. It also improves intestinal circulation and digestion. For deeper practice, sustaining this sensation can lead to meditation and boost immunity. Uḍḍīyāna Bandha means to fly, pulling up the diaphragm and intestines to activate digestive fire and rest the heart. Jālandhara Bandha, combined with specific āsanas and mudrās, supports thyroid health and releases neck tension. These practices are both physically therapeutic and energetically awakening. "Wherever you try to close something, the tattvas, then if you try to block the tattvas, then the strength develops. Opposition develops. For what? To become free." "This sensation, which you feel only for a second or two seconds, you should be able to keep for five minutes, for 10 minutes, constantly... then you are intoxicated in divine energy."

Sādhanā is a lifelong path requiring unwavering confidence, for we work not for this transient life but for eternal divine consciousness. This life's events are temporary; we must analyze them, seeing hardships as guidance and pleasures as potential obstacles. Most are concentrated on material achievements, which are impermanent like bubbles on water. Nothing here is truly ours; it is given for use in self-realization. The greatest obstacle is losing motivation. Practice without expectation, for even after decades one may perceive no result, yet that steadfastness itself is the progress. Self-realization is not something one feels; to claim it is to lose it. Like a diamond unaware of its nature, one simply is. Therefore, never give up. An ant persistently carrying a grain of rice teaches this. Many things in life are both support and obstacle. One must decide the direction of consciousness and understand the difference between self-respect and ego. Proper dress and conduct show respect for society, whereas using appearance to attract attention creates spiritual obstacles. Modern commodification of the person, especially of women, leads to a dark future, undermining dignity and spiritual life. Relationships can also become traps if a partner demands abandonment of practice. Make your resolve with great belief for a positive aim. The spiritual heritage is the true wealth to be received and carried forward. "Self-realization is like a diamond. Ask the diamond if the diamond thinks that it's a diamond. But we decide that it's a diamond." "Therefore, decide once in life in which direction you want to lead your consciousness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 363

The Guru's grace is the supreme power that accomplishes the impossible. A doctor recounts a complex eye surgery where uncontrollable bleeding threatened the patient's sight. Remembering his Guru in prayer, he blindly inserted an instrument and the bleeding stopped miraculously, an act he attributes solely to divine grace. On another occasion, his car ran out of petrol far from home. After his family urged him to remember his Guru, the car started and drove the remaining distance, a blessing for safe passage. The Guru removes darkness. There is no substitute for the Guru's power; one must never test it but offer complete surrender and respect. "Please help this patient, not my professor... automatically the bleeding stopped." "It was truly a wonder that the car started again." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 362

Time's nature and our reality are examined through the lens of consciousness and dream. Time binds us, yet its existence is questionable. Our prime duty is to use it well. We possess intellect (buddhi) to judge reality (satya) from non-reality (asatya). What changes is non-reality; the unchanging is truth. The core practice is developing viveka (discrimination) to separate them. The final judgment is "Brahman is truth, the world is mithyā (appearance)." Our world could be a dream. Dreams are often past impressions or unfulfilled desires stored in the subconscious, arising as vāsanās. The mind transports these between subconscious and conscious; it is not responsible for your problems but can be directed. Memory can be a friend or enemy based on what it recalls. Desires repressed by intellect return in dreams or actions. Mastering dream consciousness involves observing transitions between waking, dreaming, and deep sleep, and learning to re-enter dreams after physical activity. This leads to understanding the three states and the fourth (turīya). Ultimately, neither waking nor dream life is ultimately real; only the witnessing Self is real, sat-cit-ānanda. Realizing this overcomes duality. "Brahma satya, jagat mithyā." "Therefore, the mind is not responsible for your thoughts and your problems." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 361

A beautiful day for spiritual practice begins. Every good beginning bears good fruit, and every negative beginning bears negative fruit. Spiritual practice is a form of healthy selfishness, working on one's inner self without taking from others. Human life is precious, yet humans create both the world's beauty and its ugliness, like war. Spiritual awakening means understanding pure thoughts and actions. To cultivate this, contemplate five questions: know you are human; ask what makes you human; identify human qualities like understanding and forgiveness; learn to cultivate them; and discover your life's mission of self-realization and being a light for others. This awareness is a protective shield. Satsang, or spiritual gathering, is rare and precious, a divine opportunity not found even in heaven, which can become a cage. Do not waste this human life chasing desires that can never be fulfilled, like a deer chasing a mirage. Utilize your time for spiritual work, collecting the diamonds of God's name, which are the true wealth that accompanies you. "Every good beginning bears good fruit, and every negative beginning bears negative fruit." "Human qualities are understanding, forgiveness, kindness, and love."

The greatest obstacle is spiritual blindness, which manifests even in sacred spaces. One attends a holy gathering yet remains consumed by worldly attachments like romance, indicating a profound inner desperation and disconnect from the spiritual purpose. Such blindness prevents understanding. True spiritual work requires discipline and surrender, treating every action as worship. Karma yoga is this sacred work; it purifies the mind, burns past karmas, and is the best therapy for mental unrest. It demands full concentration, like a dancer on a rope, undistracted by temptations. Life presents the opportunity to transform ugliness into beauty through dedicated practice and self-study. Ultimately, one must surrender all results to the divine. "Work is worship. Whatever karma yoga you are doing, it is not a work, but it is a ceremony, worshiping the Lord." "Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam. Oh, Arjuna, your yoga sādhanā will be successful through doing the karma yoga." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 339

The human journey is from animal nature to divine consciousness. First, know "I am a human being." This awareness protects you and others by prompting the question before action: "As a human, can I do this?" Biologically, we share the five elements with all creatures. What distinguishes us is quality. Animal qualities are aggression, violence, and fear. Human qualities are forgiveness, compassion, love, renunciation, and faith. While animals can love individuals, human love extends to all beings. To cultivate these qualities and transcend animal tendencies, practice is essential: sacred diet, yoga, prayer, mantra, and good deeds. This Sādhana saves our humanity. The goal of human life is to know oneself as the pure Ātman, the universal Self. This realization is the mission, moving from human qualities to divine qualities. Spiritual progress requires constant humility and effort, as attainment can lead to decline. Protect your development through Satsaṅga and avoid negative company, which can destroy spiritual work. Endure the three Tapas—sufferings from beings, nature, and the self—through remembrance and practice, aiming always for liberation. "Simply by noticing that one is a human being." "Where there is love, there is God." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 338

Yoga in daily life is living consciously for 24 hours according to yogic principles. The greatest problems are climate change, war, and toxins in our food system. These are health issues affecting all five bodies. Our habits and cultural conditioning, prioritizing comfort and commerce, are the cause. We must think globally, creating balance without abandoning culture. This brings clarity. The practice is to awaken human qualities and realize our mission as protectors, not destroyers. Spiritual awakening means wishing happiness for all, overcoming the boundaries of "I" and "mine." "Spiritual consideration according to Yoga means: Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinaḥ—may all be happy." "Humans are born as protectors and not as destroyers." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 337

The Anāhata Chakra is the center of the self and divine love. Kundalini awakening is the awakening of wisdom, happiness, contentment, and bliss, not physical symptoms which indicate psychic problems. This energy supports the ascent through the chakras. The Atma is the universal Self, already liberated and beyond karma. The individual soul, a shadow of the Atma, carries the karma of many lives. Liberation is for this soul to dissolve its bad karma and become one with the universal Atma. Self-realization means realizing your Self is one with the universal one; then karma cannot attack you as the individual is gone. Achieve this by avoiding negative thoughts, seeing all beings as your Self, and transforming negativity into divinity through love. The Anahata Chakra, when open, awakens limitless artistic intuition beyond the senses. This opening requires Bhakti, or devotion, gained only through holy company, which colors the heart with the color of God. "Awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means awakening of the wisdom, the knowledge. When the knowledge appears, then the happiness appears." "Ātmā is itself liberated. Ātmā is above the karma, beyond the destiny, and no one can close the Ātmā." Filming location: Umag, Croatia DVD 336
