A spiritual writer perceives past, present, and future through meditation, crafting songs and poems that are dialogues with the self. Ordinary thought can either fuel problems or solve them. We must analyze our relationship with inner noise, distinguishing between necessary and nonsensical thoughts. Writing stems from concrete, lived experience—often the author's own psychic or situational struggles—transformed into universal insight. True creative work, done with love, becomes a lasting, divine offering. We must awaken from ignorance, for human life is a fleeting chance for spiritual progress. A true master is the awakened one who guides others with fresh, flowing wisdom. Ultimately, nothing we collect is truly ours; only what we give has lasting value. "One line is a question, and the second part is the answer. First, the spiritual seeker is asking, warning oneself." "Chet means awake, be alert, be conscious. Don't run here and there in the world. This will not help you. You have to wake up and go inside." Filming location: London, UK

Prāṇa is the vital energy influenced by the food and company one consumes. A sādhu, strict in his practice, refused a meal offered by a bandit, knowing its energy was tainted. The bandit, transformed by the encounter, later arranged for pure food to be sent from a restaurant. After eating it, the sādhu was overcome with greed upon seeing a golden temple statue and attempted to steal it. While fleeing, the negative influence of the food dissipated, purifying his prāṇa. Clear thought returned, allowing him to cleverly avoid capture by pretending to bathe the deity. The nature of one's food directly shapes the mind and energy. Sattvic nourishment fosters sattvic thoughts and actions. "What kind of food you are using, and from whom, that will change the mind and energy, the prāṇa." "Be the light means as long as this light is here, darkness will not come here."

Āsana is a posture for practice, not liberation itself. The spine must be straight and the body relaxed, as in Vajrāsana, but any comfortable position allows breathing. The word 'āsana' holds multiple meanings: a seat, a bed, or a yoga mat. Language requires discernment between the literal meaning, the felt meaning, and the knowledge behind the words. The human being is composed of five sheaths. The physical body is the Annamaya Kośa, the sheath of nourishment. The vital energy is the Prāṇamaya Kośa; prāṇa is the source of life itself. The mental sheath is the Manomaya Kośa; the mind creates one's perceived world. The sheath of intellect and knowledge is the Vijñānamaya Kośa, which controls the mind. The innermost sheath is the Ānandamaya Kośa, the sheath of bliss. Ultimate realization is the merging of knower, knowledge, and object into oneness, which is samādhi. This supreme state is beyond the three qualities, a pure, immovable consciousness present in all. The formless highest reality is Brahman. The Guru is that embodiment of knowledge and supreme bliss. One must practice systematically, using tools like prāṇāyāma to purify the body and awaken consciousness, leading to this direct realization. "Through postures alone, we cannot get liberation." "As long as you will say there is a God, it is a duality. You are not that one." Filming location: London, UK

Sanātana Dharma is the eternal principle of life present in all existence, from vegetation to matter like crystals and sand. This life force is balanced and moves within Sanātana, becoming visible and beautiful in living forms. Within a single body, countless microscopic lives interact in a constant, gentle process. Thus, one life encompasses many souls. This entire creation is a miraculous process of Sanātana Dharma. The tradition embodies celebration and joy. In its perspective, a holy human's death is not an end but Brahmalīna, merging with Brahman, observed over sixteen days symbolizing the moon's phases. The highest human quality, Puruṣottama, is achieved through sādhanā and purity across all aspects of being, transcending gender, as the soul itself has no gender. Spiritual practice awakens the dormant divine energy, Śakti, which is essential for all action and joy. This energy, existing between consciousness and matter, is the self within everyone. Navarātri celebrates this Divine Mother who cleanses negativity. True Tantra means expanding consciousness for liberation, not base physical acts. Every festival has meaning, making life continuously celebratory and aware, fostering harmony without requiring the killing of any creature. "Jīva, life eats life. And constantly, they are eating each other in our body." "Tan means expanding. Tra means liberation. Expand your consciousness, and then it will be liberated." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The inner obstacles of habit, ego, and laziness are the true barriers to be removed. Outer obstacles are simple to avoid, but inner ones torture us lifelong. Wrong thinking, pride, and jealousy are difficult to overcome. Humbleness is the antidote to ego. Laziness is the biggest enemy, preventing spiritual and professional success. Self-discipline is key. Many modern yoga schools are commercial or fashionable and will not last. Authentic yoga requires a true lineage, not a ten-day certificate. Yoga is not merely postures; āsanas are kindergarten, prāṇāyāma is primary school, and meditation is the university. Ancient scriptures contain vast wisdom, often obscured by modern half-knowledge. Authentic teachings from a genuine paramparā are essential. Yoga is a single, neutral science of consciousness, not a religion. It requires diligent practice and satsaṅg for true updating of the self. "Habit is the second nature of a person. That different kind of habit becomes the nature of the person, and that is very hard to change." "Half-knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Kaṭhūpraṇām is a practice for peace and harmony. It originates from a holy mountain where all religions coexist. The accompanying mantra invokes peace in all elements and within oneself. This practice is designed to create harmony between humanity and nature, as yoga postures are imitated from the natural world. Yoga is a science for holistic well-being, not a commercial sport. The system of Yoga in Daily Life is scientific and designed by experts; it must be followed faithfully to be successful. Teaching must come from love for the practice and for oneself, not from a desire for money. When you renounce the demand for payment and act with selfless love, success follows. A spiritually developed person masters themselves and responds to negativity with kindness. "Peace on the earth, peace in the water, peace in the air, peace in the space, peace on the divine, peace within us, peace and peace everywhere." "Yoga is not a sport, neither is it commercial; it is for the well-being of humans. Physical, mental, social, spiritual health." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is the science for achieving health and peace through the balance of body, mind, and soul. The universe originated from Śiva, the self-manifesting source of all resonance and light, who bestowed the principles of creation and sustenance upon Brahmā and Viṣṇu. True yoga is an ancient practice from India, a land of holy vibration, and is not a competitive exercise but a personal worship that harmonizes the individual with the universal consciousness. Modern commercial variations like wine yoga distort this essence. Authentic practice, performed step-by-step without force, burns away impurities and fosters good health, which leads to good thoughts and ultimately world peace. The core of all religion is humanity, seeing the divine in everyone. "Yoga practice is balancing, harmonizing, and keeping health. The practice of āsanas is not a competition." "Yoga gives us good health, and good health brings good thoughts, and good thoughts make a good society, and a good society brings peace in the world." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Creation arises from the silent void where consciousness has no desire and inert matter cannot act. Between them, the divine will, Icchā Śakti, awakens. From the resonance of Parabrahman, the sound Oṁ manifests as the first vibration. From sound comes light, then the elements, and the entire universe. This process is a divine science described in Sanskrit texts, not religion. Within creation, two eternal forces are active: the divine quality and the demonic quality. These powers are in constant conflict, shaping all existence. Human intellect, endowed with free will, must choose to cultivate the divine qualities through knowledge, yoga, and selfless giving. This internal battle determines one's path toward liberation or bondage. The current age sees a rise in demonic qualities, but through conscious effort, the divine can be strengthened, steering humanity toward an era of truth and peace. "From time to time, I manifest, or I come through my Yoga Śakti." "Use your freedom and willpower to continuously develop Daivī Sampat so you may grow." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Yoga is a path of non-violence, truth, and inner change that becomes one's religion—a connection to life. Real yoga is compassionate action, not mere talk. We often live like kings, for whom no kingdom is enough, yet we must learn the sharing spirit of fakirs. Truthfulness is essential; peace comes only when our feelings, thoughts, and actions align in harmony. Many live unconsciously, but grace can awaken us to non-violence, beginning with vegetarianism. Change starts within oneself. "Be the change you want to see." "Yoga is union, reunion." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Spirituality is the alignment of one's internal system and the admission of not knowing. Renounce for others, feeling everyone as your own. Change yourself to see change in the world. Spiritual growth begins with developing peace within. Yoga is a path to this peace, aiming for union and burning the seeds of karma. A spiritual person is a seeker, honest enough to admit what they do not know. Spirituality is aligning body, mind, emotions, and energy. This alignment makes one more available to life, living in the present, and fearless. Spirituality cannot be measured or located, as divinity is formless. Assess progress only through increased joy from the inner journey. Stress is not inevitable; it is the inability to manage one's internal system. Stress is unrelated to work or environment. To end stress and find inner peace, change the context of your life, not its contents. Knowledge is endless and cannot be measured. "Be the change you want to see. If you change yourself, others will change automatically." "Stress is your own inability to manage your own internal system." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The mystery of prāṇa parallels the modern scientific quest for reality. Science began by investigating the physical world, discovering matter and energy are interchangeable, as shown by E=mc². Yet creating life from DNA molecules proved impossible, revealing a limit. This led to inquiries into consciousness, prāṇa, and mind—realms science still grapples with slowly, requiring decades for proof. All this knowledge is contained within the Vedas. The Vedas are divided into a ritualistic technology and a scientific inquiry found in the Upaniṣads. The Upaniṣads provide a methodology for inward investigation to unravel reality, moving from the gross to the subtle. A parable illustrates this: a king on his deathbed finds only his first wife, representing the individual soul, will accompany him beyond, unlike the body, wealth, or family. This teaches not to neglect the inner self. The Taittirīya Upaniṣad describes a student, Bṛgu, who through meditation progressively discovers reality as matter, then prāṇa, then mind, then intellect, and finally blissful silence beyond thought. This inward journey mirrors the scientific process. Modern scientists now study these texts to understand what lies beyond quantum physics. Prāṇa itself is a science, manifesting as five vital forces governing physiological functions. Mastery over prāṇa through controlled breathing is key to health and deeper meditation. "Vedas means the encyclopedia of knowledge." "Find out what is that entity, that is reality." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path of renunciation and the science of yoga are one. Worldly awards are meaningless; true purpose is found in sacrifice and discipline. Yoga is an ancient science for health, proven by modern research. It begins with discipline, now. Renunciation is using wealth for service, not for oneself. Scientific study validates yoga's effects, showing specific breathing alters nervous system activity. Lifestyle disorders stem from four factors: activity, diet, habits, and mind. By regulating these through yoga, diseases like asthma and diabetes can be managed and prevented. Yoga therapy is disease-specific, integrating with medicine. Meditation influences brain regions governing attention and emotion. Philosophical understanding of the five kleśas addresses the root of stress. Advanced practice demonstrates yoga's profound potential to affect physiology beyond current scientific explanation. "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." "Without giving, even I will not give you. Serve many lives, then I will give you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The current world system is unsustainable, rooted in a flawed paradigm focused on the external and material. A story illustrates how seeking divinity solely through external science leads to the conclusion it does not exist, while it resides within the human heart. Everyone desires respect, love, and happiness, yet these are withheld, creating conflict. A new social contract is needed where we unconditionally give each other what we all seek. The human ego obstructs this, which is why yoga is a path to transform the ego and achieve unconditional love. Education must build a strong foundation, like a mother's love, or society becomes emotionally handicapped. The light of spirituality from India guides the West to look inward for peace. "They found out that there is no God existing. Why do not they look into their hearts?" "If we all want the same, why then do not we give it to each other?" Filming locations: Vienna, Austria.

The foundation of peace is yoga and non-violence, leading to global transformation. The International Day of Yoga was adopted by acclamation, honoring the ancient practice that offers an alternative in harmony with one's essence. Non-violence is the key to global survival, a principle exemplified by Mahatma Gandhi. The world is in turmoil, and the principles of Ahiṃsā must be applied to contemporary crises. Religious leaders have a unique capacity to mobilize the masses for peace and environmental care. Yoga is not merely physical exercise but a way of life to maintain inner equipoise. The essence of yoga is to calm the mind, as imbalance is the root cause of stress and conflict. Education must be transformed into man-making education to manifest inner perfection and bring societal peace. Integrating yoga into education systems worldwide is essential. Personal transformation begins within, aligning body, mind, emotions, and energy. Spirituality is what springs from within through this cultivation. A spiritual person is an honest seeker who admits not knowing. Spirituality and divinity are formless and felt through an inner journey. Inner peace arises from changing one's life context, not its contents. Stress stems from an inability to manage one's internal system. "Non-violence is the key to global survival." "Yoga is not merely physical exercise, it is a way of living." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Yoga is a path to nonviolence and world peace. Nonviolence is the next step to peace. Peace begins within. Education has lost three wings: parental love, spiritual teaching, and ethics. The world needs these restored. Sweet words must be on the tongue. Language must carry honey, not harm. The whole world is one family. Seeing all as oneself prevents harm. Fear arises from ignorance. Love overcomes fear. The guru leads from darkness to light. Every teacher is a guru. Misunderstood language creates conflict. Be the change you want to see. Inner peace radiates outward. A culture of peace requires tolerance, recognition, and respect for all. “There is no way to peace; peace is the way.” “One in all and all in one.” Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The essence of knowledge and life is profound and vast. Holy books like the Bible or Quran are man-made records of a prophet's message, but they are holy as they come from the Holy Spirit, the awakened consciousness. The Vedas are different; they are not man-made but the eternal resonance from the universe. Life is a rare miracle we do not fully understand. Modern science and medicine have limits; no scientist can create a drop of blood, as God's divine knowledge is reserved. The Vedas contain that perfect knowledge, but they are immensely difficult to master, requiring decades of dedicated study. Knowledge is endless; what we know is minimal compared to the whole. Human life is short, especially in this Kali Yuga. Our duty is to do good, help others, and surrender to God. The only sure shelter in this age is repeating God's name with devotion. The benefit of worship lies not in the ritual itself but in the devotion and feeling behind it. A mantra and a mala are tools for this devotion. The mala has 108 beads, a complete number, and should be used with reverence as a spiritual passport, charged with your practice and your teacher's blessing. "Life is a mystery. Life is a miracle, and we don’t understand this life." "Kali Yuga kevala nāmādhāra. In this Kali Yuga, we have only one hope, only one rescuing: Nāma. God’s name." Filming location: Villach, Austria

The vision of past, present, and future is mastered through purification and inner discipline. The present moment is the only time given. Mastery requires balancing nourishment for body and mind, which includes diet, environment, company, behavior, and thought. One must then purify the three obstacles: impurities, disturbances, and the curtain of ignorance. Following this, the inner faculties of mind, intellect, consciousness, and ego must be controlled. Ego destroys all good. Mastering these principles allows karma to be dissolved. Harmony in relationships is essential for health and spiritual progress, as hidden conflicts cause suffering. Karma is reduced through alert, kind, and conscious action, leading the soul toward universal consciousness. "God has given us the presence. The presence—what we get, the day, minutes, hours—all of this is a blessing." "Be alert, be aware, be conscious, be nice, be kind, be merciful. That is it. So the karma will become less and less."

The path to Trikāla Darśī, seeing past, present, and future, requires mastering yogic siddhis through strict discipline and purification. These divine powers, like distant vision or telepathy, are granted but can be lost through misuse or impurity. The story of Sañjaya illustrates this: he received divine sight to narrate the Mahābhārata war but lost it when his duty ended. Attaining such vision demands overcoming three primary obstacles: mala (impurities of body and mind), vikṣepa (inner and outer disturbances), and āvaraṇa (the curtain of ignorance). Further progress requires mastering the inner instrument, antaḥkaraṇa—comprising manas (mind), buddhi (intellect), citta (consciousness), and ahaṁkāra (ego). Ego is the ultimate hindrance, as shown by Rāvaṇa, whose great knowledge and power were destroyed by his pride. Purification allows the third eye to open, revealing the three times as one. However, this truth is a rich food not easily digested; sometimes ignorance is a form of protection. The present moment is a gift to be used perfectly, without killing time. Surrender and devotion are essential to remove the layers of past lives and karmas that cloud our pure, snow-like nature. "If you misuse that knowledge, it disappears." "The present is a gift for you. Every second, if you lose time, if you do not respect time, it is called a sin." Filming location: Villach, Austria

Inner resolve and disciplined practice manifest our deepest intentions through divine grace. Positive wishes and thoughts will materialize. Negative thoughts may arise but do not prevail. Success requires firm resolve and unwavering discipline, without counting time. This principle applies to spiritual growth, health, and all endeavors. A resolve, once set, must be released to divine will. Through steady practice, what is desired is realized. Yoga is now global, integrated into daily life for nourishment and balance. Authentic practice is not mere physical movement; it harmonizes body, breath, and mind. Correct posture, breath control, and proper relaxation are essential. Impatience undermines progress. True yoga is a spiritual system, not a commercial commodity. Its authentic essence must be preserved and practiced with sincerity. "Positive wishes and positive thoughts will manifest." "Yoga is a part of our nourishment; it is spiritual food." Filming location: Villach, Austria

Peace is the essential state we must realize and extend to all creation. The breath of life is God's gift, the very prāṇa that sustains us. True peace begins with gratitude for this freedom. Yet, our world is fractured; refugees seek peace while being called a disturbance. We celebrate peace in rituals while causing suffering, as in the story of a wedding feast sourced from the slaughter of praying animals. Inner peace is fragile, shattered by a single cruel word. Therefore, peace is not a destination but the very path, as Gandhi taught. It must be a daily practice, like the yogi's chant, creating a vibration for all beings. We are born as protectors, and peace requires extending compassion beyond humanity to all creatures and the natural world, for our survival is interdependent. "Peace is not for only one day to celebrate; peace is every day and with every breath." "There is no way to peace. Peace is the way." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Family harmony and spiritual practice are the foundation of a meaningful life. True family provides support in both joy and sorrow. Modern life scatters families across the globe, weakening these essential bonds. The purpose of life is not found in quarreling, gossiping, or struggling for money. Time is precious and must be used for spiritual progress, not merely for material accumulation. Inner strength, or ātmabala, arises from the Self and eliminates anger and jealousy, which stem from weakness and ignorance. Spiritual practice within the satsaṅg, the community, is the most powerful path. It unites individuals like fingers forming a fist, creating collective strength for the journey toward self-realization. "God did not give you time just to work, to run here and there to earn money." "One who has ātmabala does not feel offended." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The divine resonance is the manifestation of God, from which all creation arises. This universe is endless, with a horizon that recedes as one approaches. The center of this universe is mirrored in the human body, beginning at the navel where the individual soul enters. Life develops from this point, as described in sacred texts. The science of the body is understood through authentic practice, not mere physical competition. True power arises from mental will and spiritual discipline, surpassing physical strength. The cycle of birth and death continues until self-realization is achieved, merging the individual with the infinite. World peace requires leaders to practice tolerance and recognize our shared humanity. "World peace is possible only when all religious and political leaders of this globe practice tolerance, recognition, and respect for all other cultures, traditions, languages, races, nationalities, and religions." "The soul has got this consciousness, awareness, feelings, etc., but no physical body. Now this soul is fluttering on the waves of time around the whole universe." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The Spiritual Path consists of family harmony, selfless duty, and inner peace. The Supreme alone is truth, and the world is a fleeting dream. Life is a journey, not a destination, though the destination is reached at life’s end. Stay on your path and practice your mantras; all problems resolve automatically. Dharma requires selfless support of parents, children, and neighbors. Selfish dharma leads only to temporary gain, like repeated divorces. Clarify misunderstandings with family; be a yes‑man and make them happy. Modern life creates division: babysitters replace parents, kindergartens sow lifelong fear, and both parents working disrupts love. Children need the presence of a parent and introduction to relatives to protect society and roots. Good and bad actions return as karma. One who acts against humanity will not be reborn as human. Hold the truth and worship God; in this existence, no one is truly yours. The Śrī Svāmī Mādhavānanda World Peace Council works for non‑violence through yoga. Establish an International Day of Brother and Sister to safeguard bonds. Theory is worthless without practice; do good, avoid negative deeds. Animals possess intelligence and can even outwit humans. Natural remedies like garlic, lemon, and ginger heal the body. “Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā—the Supreme, only the One, is the Truth, and this world is just a dream, it’s flowing.” “Sāc pakad bhajasai—hold the truth, and adore or worship God. In this world no one is ours; in this saṃsāra, no one is ours.” Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Humanitarian actions and spiritual practice both multiply effects. One truckload of stone worth one hundred thousand rupees sustains roughly five hundred people through interconnected livelihoods. The same supply chain principle applies to negative acts like arming conflicts. Every good or bad deed records in the account of Dharmarāja. The first fruits of karma go to the initiator. Spiritual sādhanā purifies the inner self. Dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa arise from practice. Guru’s grace is eternal. Guru bhakti brings success in all fields. Losing guru bhakti is a real loss. The guru principle never dies. Only ego claims independent doing. A dog thought he carried the whole load alone, then realized another force pulled. A master repeatedly saved a scorpion despite being stung. He declared stinging is the scorpion’s nature and saving is the master’s. Selfless service yields more fruit than idle meditation. Helping hands are more valuable than folded hands. Planting a tree shelters thousands of creatures. Yogesh’s humanitarian work sustains at least twenty thousand families. "It is his nature to sting. He cannot give up his nature. And my nature is to save life." "Helping hands have more value than folded hands."

The divine bond between guru and disciple is the foundation of spiritual life. A disciple's journey begins with a longing for truth. Upon meeting the guru, one recognizes a divine light and a profound inner calling. The guru's training is rigorous, designed to transform the raw disciple into a refined instrument. This process requires complete surrender, like a seed dying to become a tree. The guru's protection is constant, ensuring the disciple's spiritual safety and discipline. Through loving guidance and demanding work, wisdom is transferred not merely by instruction but through grace and experience. This bond culminates in the disciple embodying the teachings and receiving the guru's complete spiritual transmission. "The Master makes the disciple a Master, if that vein goes through that training." "In love, there is trust. In love, there is protection. In love, there is a surrender, acceptance, and it is a oneness." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Divine incarnations manifest for specific purposes and as continual spiritual guides. God descends as Nimit Avatāra to restore dharma, protect devotees, and destroy negativity whenever required. Śiva is the primordial universal energy, both creator and destroyer in a perpetual cycle. Specific incarnations like Narasiṃha, Rāma, and Kṛṣṇa appear to defeat particular evils. Another category is Nitya Avatāra, representing the eternal principle of the guru, embodied by saints and monks who renounce worldly life. This Guru Tattva is supreme, above even the trinity of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. True holiness requires destroying ego, attachment, and desire through arduous spiritual discipline, not merely adopting external symbols. The celebration of divine birth is based on spiritual significance, not just calendrical dates. "Whenever the dharma is declining and adharma is coming up... in every yuga, I come through my yoga māyā, yoga śakti." "Guru is Brahmā. Guru Dev is Viṣṇu. Guru Dev is Maheśvara Śiva. Guru Dev is itself Parabrahma." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Life is a journey through the world's labyrinth, contrasted with the heaven of the heart. Human life is a mystery where the mental waves of decision and doubt are strong. Modern roots rot as principles are lost, seen in broken promises and relationships. Life remains merely life without enduring commitment to a solid, truthful decision. The ability to endure and remain strong is given; only those who understand life's aim and find their path do not give up. Our gathering is the result of past karma and divine law, connecting destinies. The awakened heart chakra is an ocean of immortality where impurities like doubt and ego are sharks repelled by organic purity in thought and action. Divine love awakens through self-love, recognizing the ātmā within as God. The heart's powers include will, action, and mantra, which eventually resonates through one's entire being. Human talent carries immense power for both creation and destruction. Prāṇa is the divine essence and breath of life, more vital than any tonic. God is not seen externally but is the inner self leading us; full self-realization is rare and ultimate. "Life is a journey, not a destination." "First, love thyself. Don’t hate thyself. Don’t think that you are unhappy. You are above this." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Life is the divine presence within all awareness. Without remembering God, existence is wasted. Begin now, for it is never too late. Actions performed without God's name are temporary obligations, but the seeds of mantra sown in consciousness remain forever. Many claim mantra is unnecessary, yet they speak; this is a contradiction. Like a passport is required to enter a country, a mantra is essential to traverse the spiritual universe. Without it, the soul is in a barren no-man's land. Human life is rare; do not waste it. The name of God is a deposit in the bank of your destiny. A true master is one who is themselves liberated, for a bound person cannot free another. Mantra repetition purifies the heart, wearing away negativity as a path is worn by constant walking. Spirituality is this positive practice, wishing happiness for all. "All that we do in the world without God’s name is some obligation or some action, but that will soon disappear. But the name of God, these seeds which we put in the field of our consciousness, will remain forever and ever." "While repeating the name of God... the grass does not grow, it becomes a footpath... similarly, repeating God’s name while working, while walking." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sādhanā requires sustained devotion, not just initial interest, to avoid failure and dilemma. Divine power is eternal and universally present, not confined to one place or time. Ancient myths and traditions reflect living realities, not mere stories. Cultural festivals have sacred origins now often lost. All genuine spiritual paths lead to the same one God, though forms and names differ. Divine energy manifests in nature and human relationships, perceived according to one's connection. "Therefore, if you chant the Hanuman Chalīsā every morning, be sure your fear will disappear, and be sure your many obstacles will disappear." "God is energy, God is health, God is purity, God is love, God is compassion, God is father and mother, God is harmony and beauty." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The session explores the five upaprāṇas, the subsidiary vital energies supporting bodily functions. Nāga Prāṇa removes blockages and toxins. Kūrma Prāṇa controls the eyelids, protecting and moisturizing the eyes. Devadatta Prāṇa governs actions like yawning to expel toxins. Kṛkal acts as an emergency response, triggering reactions like vomiting or sneezing to expel immediate dangers. Dhananjaya influences the heart. These energies are vital for health. Suppressing natural expulsions like sneezing can damage the nervous system. Practice cleansing techniques like Netī and Kapālabhāti. Eating should be a conscious ceremony, not rushed, to properly receive prāṇa, the life force and light of the soul. "The Kūrma Prāṇa is controlling our eyelids especially. It is the highest protection for our eyes." "This blockage, which is harmful to us, can even lead to death if this prāṇa were not there."

Sādhana is both the spiritual tool and the practice of using it. A tool is useless without application. The human body itself is the primary sādhana for God-realization. One must utilize available techniques like prāṇāyāma and meditation, ignoring external opinions. Neglecting practice allows mental pollution. Laziness and lost interest are obstacles; motivation comes from clarifying life's aim. Utilize the facilities and possibilities you have. "Human life is the most powerful tool, or human life is the best tool to achieve anything; it will be lost otherwise." "If you have the sādhanā and you don’t utilize it, it is a loss."

Sandhyā is the sacred twilight where day and night meet, a time for prayer and reflection. This union reminds us to give thanks for the day. When darkness appears, one must light the candle of hope; it will show the way. Do not lose hope, for it is a support from cradle to grave. God will fulfill your wish, but do not treat prayer as a bargain, forgetting gratitude once a desire is met. In critical situations, you discern what is truly yours—dharma, compassion, and real friends. The physical body and all possessions are merely given on loan; nothing ultimately belongs to us. Awareness within consciousness is crucial. The coordination of discernment from the intellect and kindness from the heart purifies the prāṇa and awakens the Kuṇḍalinī. This awakening is a movement from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge. "It is better to light a candle than to stand in the darkness. That candle is hope." "Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Anāhata Cakra and the Path of Love and Renunciation. The Anāhata Cakra awakens in peaceful, harmonious places free from desires. That joyful state is Svarga on earth, while suffering is Naraka. You manage your situation through karma. Marriage is a high time, but without maintenance it fails. Renunciation is needed. Saint Kabir saw a grinding mill and wept: between the two stones, no grain remains whole. The master replied that the seed in the center remains untouched. Those stones are Brahma and Māyā; everything between them is crushed. Seek shelter with Gurudev so Māyā cannot squeeze you. Renunciation is difficult, but realization makes it possible. A gardener made garlands for a devotee to offer to Gurudev. When a king and queen bid millions for the finest garland, the gardener refused and offered it himself. The wealthy praised him: true devotion cannot be bought. Love multiplies by giving. The heart’s sensitivity is tvacā; any touch is felt instantly in the heart. Do not play with the heart; be serious, for when it is offended, the game is over. Certainty in the heart brings triumph, as seen in Olympic athletes trained by a yogi. "Chaltī cakkī dekh kar, diyā Kabīr roī. Do pāṭan ke bīch meṁ, sābit bachā na koī." "Love and devotion cannot be bought. Love does not hesitate to give, because in giving it does not lessen but multiplies." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Anāhata Cakra is the heart's divine sky, the principle of the limitless self within. The self is like the sky, divine and within, yet perceived as separate, creating duality where reality disappears. The heart unites where the dividing intellect creates mental pollution. Its twelve petals open during the Brahmamuhūrta before sunrise, awakening qualities in consciousness. The first petal is joy, then peace, followed by kindness. Messages from the heart bring peace; from the brain, war. Development requires both heart and discerning intellect. Love here is divine, uniting and liberating, beyond temporary attachments. It brings harmony, while its absence brings conflict from liking and disliking. Clarity discerns the unchanging reality of the immortal self. Compassion and understanding for others' needs follow, leading to forgiveness that forgets grievances. This heart is boundless, the residence of the divine, culminating in bliss. "Where there is duality, reality disappears. And when duality disappears, unity appears." "Messages from the heart bring peace. Messages from the brain bring war."

Life is governed by the flow of prāṇa, connecting every individual to the cosmic energy center. Our health, emotions, thoughts, and even destiny are influenced by this vital force. While karmic causes cannot be fully opposed, blessings, prayers, and positive thinking can soften their impact. Family provides essential support at life's beginning and end, yet modern systems often erode these bonds, leading to conflict and loss of love. Harmony within the family, like that of a steadfast tree, creates a harmonious world. Purity in one's living space invites divine energy and positive prāṇa. The practice of yoga, particularly through prāṇāyāma and techniques like Agnisāra Kriyā, purifies the samāna prāṇa that connects the heart and solar plexus, coordinating all vital energies for perfect health. "Every organ of the body, glands, digestive system, our emotions, our thoughts, our happiness and sadness—this all depends on the prāṇa." "Yoga is that which makes for good health, physical and mental. And that good health makes a better person. A better person creates a better family." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The heart is the temple of the individual soul. The physical body is the true house and the field of action, given to uphold eternal principles. These Sanātana principles govern all existence, like the seasons or a tree bearing fruit. Within this body, two mighty armies of positive and negative forces contend, creating an inner battlefield. The heart chakra is the center of feeling and love, while the intellect chakra provides clarity. These are aspects of the subtle body, not perceivable by physical examination. Spiritual progress requires mastering states of consciousness like sleep and dream, and it necessitates guidance. The divine light exists within every heart, symbolizing purity and infinity. "This body is called the karma-bhūmi, the field of action." "All these creatures, all these jīvas, are my eternal parts." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Caring for the heart is the path of the Anāhata Chakra. The heart suffers from poor nourishment, lack of movement, mental imbalance, and neglected spiritual practice. Prāṇāyāma, walking, and specific āsanas support the heart. Modern dietary conceptions cannot compare to the natural wisdom of traditional living and nourishment, such as a grandmother's kitchen using remedies like Triphalā. The heart is divine and pure, with the Anāhata Chakra possessing a beautiful color that opens into blue. This chakra is a leading power supporting Self-realization. Its twelve petals represent qualities like joy, peace, and bliss. When the heart opens without fear, one feels divine and meditation is best. Buddha's practice of passive meditation led to a realization of nothingness, illustrating the play of consciousness between ignorance and knowledge. Detachment, or Vairāgya, is essential to achieve the absolute. Engage in the world without becoming stuck in its attachments. "Prāṇāyāma is the best, walking is the best. And these particular āsanas—not all—which circulate the blood circulation in a proper way." "At least once a day, our heart should open completely. That time you will feel divine, and your meditation will be the best." Filming location: Czech Republic

The dance of consciousness and energy is the divine play within. Everything in the body and consciousness is the light and energy of God. Humans possess all possibilities for happiness and liberation, yet we make mistakes and blame others. Most troubles originate from the inner self. The ego prevents correction in meditation, and guilt paralyzes spiritual progress. It is better to realize a mistake was from ignorance and resolve to improve. Divinity is Śiva, consciousness, and Śakti, the feminine principle of energy like prāṇa and willpower. Consciousness is alert but has no desire; unconsciousness cannot act. The individual will, or icchā śakti, dwells in the heart alongside love and anger. The interplay of these forces is symbolized by two triangles, representing the rising and falling of energy in sādhanā. The heart is the seat of the living light, and devotion to the ātmā leads to liberation. In this age, repetition of the divine name is the support. "Eighty percent of our troubles come from our inner self." "Chetan has no desire, no wish. And unconsciousness just cannot do anything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The light of Jyotiṣa and the dance of Prāṇa guide understanding. Jyotiṣa follows the lunar calendar, not the fixed solar dates. The moon's accurate movements determine the constellations. A lunar month has approximately thirty days, with light waxing and waning in fourteen-day cycles. The day changes at sunrise. For accurate knowledge of planetary influences, one must follow this lunar calendar. Jyotiṣa is precise mathematics connected to nature, capable of predicting celestial events like eclipses decades in advance. This month is Bhādarvā, dedicated to the coming of Kṛṣṇa. Nature provides abundance now for harvest, followed by winter family gatherings. Modern life often disrupts this natural rhythm. The essential energy is Prāṇa, the life force. There are five main prāṇas and five subsidiary ones. Prāṇa governs inhalation and vitality to the heart. Apāna governs elimination from the navel downward. Strengthening these through practices like āsana and prāṇāyāma is crucial for health. The relationship between the soul and prāṇa is a key inquiry. "Jyotiṣa is mathematics; it is the third eye of God." "Prāṇa is life. It is the prāṇa that makes us happy or unhappy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Our actions, even with good intent, cause subtle, unseen harm to the living Earth, requiring deeper awareness. We cannot act perfectly; we unknowingly injure creatures like ants. They have their own world, medicine, and dances we cannot perceive. Our physical senses limit us; we lack the inner eye to hear their complaints. This is subtle violence, present even in walking on grass or in silence meant to hurt. True nonviolence extends to all life. Our planet is a living being, a compact of prāṇa, connected to all consciousness. A realized yogī can witness thousands of solar systems through this prāṇa. Everything is life and energy. Therefore, we must use mantra and mālā in meditation to stay on the right path, leading to automatic awareness. We must replace bad karma with good deeds for other beings, valuing this life. "Violence is subtle violence, which we cannot think, see, or feel." "This earth is a living earth... That is prāṇa. That is life. So there is nothing but only life."

The spiritual treasure is devotion, a perfect and increasing wealth found within. This wealth is the name of God, a jewel received through the Guru. Worldly possessions can be stolen, but inner knowledge and wisdom multiply with use and cannot be damaged. Sacred texts like the Bhagavad Gītā are unchanging. Reality is the everlasting, formless Brahman; the changing world is temporary. One must practice this wisdom by embodying it in thought, speech, and action, changing one's way of life. Spiritual growth, like a growing vine, is unseen but constant. Pilgrimage involves a transformative journey of constant remembrance, where the seeker becomes the destination through accumulated spiritual energy. Selfless service, seva, cleanses karma and changes destiny. The final result of life is the quality of one's devotion. "Pāyo jī mene rāma-ratana-dhana pāyo." "Brahma satyaṁ, jagat mithyā."

The foundation for Satya Yuga has been laid as Kali Yuga ends. This transition requires work to cleanse the old era's influences. A primary commitment is to protect the environment, including trees, birds, bees, and all creatures, by avoiding harmful chemicals to restore ecological immunity. Human duty is to act positively, not destructively; one's quality is defined by good behavior, distinguishing divine from demonic natures. The relationship between brother and sister, a divine creation, provides protection, love, and completeness. A sacred tree, charged with prāṇa, can fulfill wishes when a sincere saṅkalpa is made, provided one also gives back in return. All must work to turn life from negative to positive, using media to spread this message. Inner freedom and fearlessness are the essence of spirituality and awakening. "If we can’t speak good words, we should not speak bad words. If we can’t behave well, then we should not behave badly." "The Satya Yuga has begun. Let’s walk into the Satya Yuga."

Welcome to this spiritual gathering after a long journey. A place becomes holy through sustained spiritual vibration from those who live there. Some locations retain this sanctity forever, like where the nectar fell during the churning of the ocean. This ashram has become such a place over twenty years through the collective spiritual longing of visitors. Our schedule is dedicated to practice: morning prayer, āsanas, mantra walking, meditation, lectures on prāṇa, and Yoga Nidrā. I advise reducing your diet by half to increase prāṇa and reduce tamas. Prasāda is a blessing to be accepted fully, not refused. This discipline will regenerate your body. The focus is on practical training for yoga teachers, with assessments in verbal, written, and practical components. Attend all sessions. "Where the nectar was dripping or falling, that place became a holy place." "Upa-prāṇa is what we call sub-prāṇa. And sub-prāṇa is more important than prāṇa."

Prāṇa flows through the subtle channels, or nāḍīs, which are more than physical nerves. Udāna Prāṇa is an ascending energy from the heart to the brain, supporting the awakening of kuṇḍalinī śakti. Correct practice of techniques like Kriyā Yoga brings balance and pleasant experiences; incorrect practice leads to unpleasant sensations. Prāṇāyāma must be systematic, with specific ratios for inhalation, exhalation, and breath retention, as each technique supports a particular prāṇa. Do not mix techniques from different masters or schools hastily, like taking all medicines at once; stay with one proven path. The astral body separates from the physical via udāna prāṇa during dreams or at death. Our actions, or karma, influence our prāṇa and destiny; doing good brings good. Samāna Prāṇa balances energy between the navel and heart chakras, distributing vitality. Our spiritual practice must be consistent and balanced, just as the Earth requires balance, which we disrupt by extracting its resources. "Udāna is the ascending energy flow from heart to brain. This is the prāṇa." "Kar bhalā, to hoī bhalā. Do good, will get good." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Prāṇavidyā is the science of life force and its connection to environmental protection. Morning practice in fresh air is the best time for yoga and prāṇāyāma, as this prāṇa is superior to any medicine or food. A single drop of pure rainwater contains immense life energy, awakening nature. Today's pollution compromises this, so we must act. Begin by reducing chemicals in your home, using natural materials, and refusing plastic bags. A global consciousness is awakening for organic food and protecting nature. Our prāṇa practice must extend to conserving energy, using minimal light to reduce pollution from power generation. Learn the ten prāṇas; Vyāna Prāṇa flows through the nervous system and is activated by prāṇāyāma and breath retention, which must be approached gradually to avoid harm. This science coordinates body and breath, distributing strength and sensation. "One drop of rainwater—directly, you cannot compare it to one bottle of water. That was the prāṇa in the drop of rain." "Merely eating healthy food while inhaling a lot of pollution—only the diet will not prevent cancer or other ailments; that is not enough." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Prāṇa is the eternal life force and source of all existence. The soul is a composite of the five elements—space, air, fire, water, earth—which never die but only recycle. Therefore, there is no true birth or death, only transformation. Prāṇa is this animating principle, present as fire in all things, from snow to emotion. It is the divine consciousness that expands to contain all of creation. Our health and clarity depend on the flow of prāṇa, which can be clouded by impurities. Purification practices like sun sādhanā strengthen prāṇa, burning away these obscurations. Ultimately, the seeker is reminded that what is sought is already present within one's own breath. "Fire never dies. In the cold air is also fire." "Where are you searching for me? I am with you." Filming location: Czech Republic

The fable of the fox illustrates procrastination and the failure to build a shelter for the soul. Many delay spiritual practice with excuses, lacking the discipline to act when conditions are favorable. True practice requires consistent willpower, not temporary resolutions made in moments of inspiration. Meditation in enclosed halls with stale air promotes sleepiness; practicing outdoors in fresh air is superior for alertness and health. Prāṇa is the vital force, distinct from breath or oxygen; it is the divine energy that sustains life and connects the individual soul to the cosmic. In this age, finding a true spiritual partner is rare, requiring patience and inner purity rather than emotional haste. The practice of āsanas purifies and strengthens the prāṇic system, which is essential for any deeper spiritual progress. "Anyhow, this life is gone. That is lost. You didn't find it." "Prāṇa is the science of the union, happiness, good health, long life, and achievement." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The aim of Yoga in Daily Life is to bring health and brotherhood to the world. Teacher training requires exacting practice and discipline, akin to an athlete's dedication. Quality must be prioritized over quantity, with rigorous examinations for certification. Physical or psychic limitations must be honestly assessed. The path involves four key practices. First is disciplined nourishment, avoiding junk food and artificial products. Second is a sustained daily practice of āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Third is seeking good company and cultivating positive thoughts. Fourth is right conduct, characterized by humility and kindness, removing pain from others. The goal is not self-aggrandizement but to be a humble instrument for global health and peace. "Without Paścimottānāsana, you will get mokṣa." "A wise person is like a diamond. Others will say its value." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is a vital science for health in this age, responding to threats against nature, culture, and well-being. Its global acceptance shows its practical benefits. The ancient ṛṣis researched life through proper nourishment, movement, and breath. Modern science understands breath but not the ten prāṇas, the subtle life forces that yogis discovered. Prāṇa is not mere energy or oxygen; it is life itself. Success comes from saṅkalpa, a firm resolve or Icchā Śakti, combined with the power of action, Kriyā Śakti. Obstacles will arise, but one must not change the target. This willpower, supported by the prāṇas, achieves what seems impossible. The ṛṣis worked for all humanity, not themselves. Yoga is the step-by-step science of mastering body, breath, mind, intellect, consciousness, and finally the Self. "Tons of theory are nothing compared to the grammar of practice." "Make your decision, your saṅkalpa: what you wish to achieve. Then, do not change it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Mastering difficult postures like Paścimottānāsana requires consistent daily practice. The body and brain must learn new movements through repetition, creating necessary neural pathways. Mental visualization aids this process but cannot replace physical practice. Initial inability often stems from mental blockages like fear or the belief "I cannot," which must be overcome. Physical limitations frequently originate from shortened muscles during adolescent growth spurts without accompanying stretching. Proper nutrition, including healthy fats, supports brain function and bodily elasticity. Practice must never be forceful; rapid, aggressive stretching causes micro-injuries, creating lasting tightness. Progress is achieved through slow, gentle stretching, utilizing gravity and relaxation. The goal is not to force the posture quickly but to enjoy the practice itself. With daily, patient effort, inner relaxation follows, and the asana unfolds naturally. Mastery requires a sustained learning period of daily practice; once achieved, less frequent practice maintains the ability. "Never say, 'I can’t do this.' If you practice, you will see it is very easy." "If you want to accomplish anything in life, there is only one way: you must enjoy it." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
