The true family is a spiritual kinship defined by virtues, not merely birth. Congratulate parents and the Guru on a birthday, for they provide the foundational gifts. A dedicated parent embodies sannyāsa, sacrificing all for the child's early years. This is a profound sādhana. The next stage of parental sannyāsa is letting the adult child go, offering support while allowing growth. Spiritual sustenance requires both truth and knowledge, like a family. Truth is the nourishing mother; knowledge is the seeding father. Righteousness is the brother; compassion is the friend. Peace is the wife, arising from self-acceptance of both strengths and faults. Forgiveness is the son, the offspring of a balanced heart. All spiritual progress is shared, for we are all one. "A dedicated parent, when their child is young... gives up everything for that child. Time is not your own if you are a parent." "Truth is my mother... and the father is knowledge... Forgiveness... is the offspring of all of that family together."

The search for truth reveals the unreality of the world and the self. Training adapts the body and mind, as shown by an experiment in the Himalayas. Problems are creations of body and mind. The great mantra is the truth. Non-dual Vedanta states only Brahman is real; the world is an illusion, like a dream. Identifying with the body is ignorance, causing suffering, as illustrated by a tiger raised among goats. King Janaka's vivid dream of loss provoked his search for reality. Through inquiry, he realized the unchanging self beyond dream and waking states. Practice is essential to realize this truth. "Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā." "Eko Brahma Dutya Nasti."

Knowledge is life, distinguishing humanity. Intellect requires knowledge. There are two kinds of knowledge. Vācārthī is knowledge from reading scriptures and then speaking it. Lakṣārthī is knowledge aimed at self-realization, the ultimate target of all wise seekers. The human brain is a grantha, a store of recorded knowledge. What one records and utilizes determines one's path. Ancient techniques like mantra chanting purify the inner being. Sound originates as resonance in the navel. This Nāda is Brahman, manifesting as indestructible syllables, Akṣara Brahma. Sound moves through stages from the navel to speech. This resonance influences the entire body and nature. Positive sound regenerates; negative sound creates fear and imbalance. Thoughts and words radiate out and return to the speaker. Therefore, one must give happiness to receive happiness. "Through body, mind, words, and wealth—we shall give happiness to others." "If you give happiness to others, then you will realize that happiness. It will come to you."

There is only one God, who is formless, spotless cosmic consciousness. Human intellect, in turbulence, cannot grasp this reality directly. Realization brings an inner calm, like the deep ocean beneath surface waves. Without it, one remains adrift in thought and emotion. The formless God is known not by appearance but by the fruits of spiritual development, where a person's thoughts, actions, and being become unified and unchanging. Duality is a crack in consciousness, repaired through satsaṅg, meditation, and prayer. The purpose is to know thyself, seeing the self in all beings, realizing oneness. Without satsaṅg, one cannot attain true dispassion or the color of divine devotion. Practice is essential; negative company leads to suffering. Spiritual qualities like dispassion, devotion, and knowledge are interconnected. "Without satsaṅg, one cannot be colored by Hari. Without satsaṅg, there is no true vairāgya." "Ātmā sohī Paramātmā. Each and every entity is myself, and the self is the Paramātmā." Filming locations: Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.

The miracle of Guru Bhakti transforms the disciple's life. The moment of meeting the Master begins a unique transformation for every sincere seeker. Separation from the Guru creates longing, and reunion brings joy, removing all doubts as the heart opens. The Guru travels tirelessly to offer darśan, creating lasting bliss for devotees. This devotion starts with a personal miracle, such as an unexpected blessing that redirects a life. Guru Bhakti enables disciples to overcome personal limitations and differences, drawing all closer together as they approach the divine source. The Guru is described as the eternal truth, the remover of ignorance, and the very root of meditation, worship, and liberation. The spiritual journey is like a great chariot; once moving, it requires sustained effort to reach the ocean of bliss. "Guru Bhakti makes us better humans. It all starts at the first meeting." "In all and all in one and behind all this miracle is the Guru Tattva and Guru Bhakti." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A pilgrimage to Mount Abu and the significance of the full moon. The group visited sacred sites at Mount Abu, including Gurushikhar where Dattātreya’s perpetually burning sacred fire is maintained. They saw the cave containing his footprints and the temple from a story where worship was once halted. They visited the lake associated with Devpurījī and saw a large cobra. Being in these places, described in the holy text, brings the stories to life. The journey concluded with return and gatherings. Today is the full moon, celebrated as the anniversary of Kabīr Dās. He represented nirguṇa bhakti, devotion to the formless, while others like Tulsīdās practiced saguṇa bhakti, devotion to a form. For human understanding, worship with form is advised as it provides a focus for dialogue and inspiration. All paths ultimately lead to the same truth. Saints incarnate for all devotees, not for one individual. The story of Mīrābāī illustrates divine protection when her husband, doubting her, attempted to strike her and saw multiple forms of her, leading to his surrender. Spiritual practice must be done with devotion, as one adores God. The mind, connected to the senses, is powerful and must be mastered through consistent practice. The name of God is like a coconut; the mind, like a fox, tries but cannot open it to taste the nectar inside without sincere effort. On the full moon, one should avoid anger and perform virtuous acts. "Between God and saints, there is no difference." "The name of God, the spirituality, that is the coconut. And mind is that fox."

Suffering fuels the journey to bliss. Humanity clings to suffering like a toy. Faces show this, mouths turned down when relaxed. Suffering teaches; wisdom grows through experience. A wise person knows action and reaction are one, avoiding needless repetition. Accumulated pain, mostly mental, is a teacher. Comfort brings no progress. Only suffering pushes toward realization. The world is mind-made, measurable, bound by time and space—illusion. Beyond it exists something known only to those who returned. Inner exploration opens when worldly kicks lose appeal. Longing is the key, as strong as a lover's madness. Tulsī Dās's story shows longing redirected toward God. Renunciation is required to reach the highest world. There, no birth, death, form, or fear exists. Only grace grants entry. Saints dwell there, fearless, in endless wisdom. Suffering ends completely. "That kick comes from looking inside through meditation." "Fear governs the world, and it is the root of our suffering." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The world is moving in a strange direction because we are in Kali Yuga, an age of spiritual decline. We identify with the body or external objects, not the true Self. Our choices create karma, which determines our future. Modern education feeds the ego, not true knowledge. In this darkness, satsaṅg—association with truth through a realized master—is the rare shelter. It is a boat for crossing the ocean of suffering. Through satsaṅg, we purify our inner negativities like anger and greed. This purification is difficult but accelerated under the Guru's guidance. Our dharma is Self-Realization, achievable only through practice and the Guru's grace. Trust in the master is the essential connection. "How you are living today shows what you were doing yesterday. What you are doing today will show how you will live tomorrow." "If you put 'ku' in front of saṅga, you get kusaṅga—the way into darkness... If you put 'sat' (truth) in front, you get satsaṅga—the meeting with truth." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Vishnu Yajña is a sacred journey of tapasya, aligning with cosmic forces to attain peace and divine grace. Yajña is performed to please deities and is a form of hardship. It is a journey from one state to another. Preparation and gathering necessary items are essential. The path may flow effortlessly or become challenging. Mantras were invented by great rishis in Satya Yuga, who held immense spiritual power. They could invoke beings from fire and traverse spiritual levels. Mantras operate through all levels of existence. Vishnu Yajña sustains harmony and evolution. Despite external heat, the fire's intensity was not felt due to spiritual focus. The yajña was dedicated to world peace, environmental protection, and harmony. Peace is not something to seek; one must become peace. Life's purpose is to serve others. Yajña eliminates negative energies and inner demons. Auspicious timing according to lunar calendars enhances outcomes. Losing oneself in service makes every action special. The practice requires dedication and cannot be rushed. "Do not wait for peace. Peace is the way, and therefore do not search for peace somewhere else. Be the peace yourself wherever you go." "Life is for giving. If you are not useful to someone for the purpose you were born here, even the body will not accompany us." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Shankaracharya's non-dual teaching reveals the Self. He was a profound knower who established the highest monastic order. His core realization is non-dualism: all apparent differences are forms of the same essence, like gold in various ornaments. The individual self and the divine are not two. He taught that all desires, even for liberation, are binding. The seeker's confusion and suffering arise from ignorance and lost trust, creating a dense jungle of dependency and fear. Human life is uniquely difficult yet holds the freedom for liberation. The solution is to "know thyself" by turning inward, not searching externally. There is no path to the Self, for it is already present. God, the first teacher and supreme bliss, is omnipresent in every atom, encompassing all creation, sustenance, and destruction. Understanding this ends dualism and its conflicts. "Na muktir na bandhaḥ, Chidānandarūpaḥ, Śivo’haṃ Śivo’haṃ." "Know thyself, recognize your Self." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 162a

The yajña is the eternal ritual of cosmic purification and divine invocation. Deities are invoked through mantra, establishing their presence within the sacrificial arena. All planetary forces, directional guardians, and millions of śakti forms converge here. The Vāstu deity presides over any construction, its form invoked as countless divine architects. Elemental protectors are appointed to guard the ritual from disturbance; their power can pacify storms. This practice grants immense merit, multiplying blessings for all participants. It is not merely external fire but the internal purification of the mind's coverings. "After the merits of many births, one attains the vision of the Viṣṭu Yajña." "Yajña is actually the purification of the mind’s coverings." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

This ritual invokes and makes offerings to the divine. Salutations are given to the guru, the remover of obstacles, and the guardian deities. Water is offered for a complete bath, invoking Agni and Varuṇa. The five nectars bathe the deity. Pure cloth is offered at the waist. Fragrance is offered at the door of fragrance. Unbroken rice grains are offered to the planets. Garlands of flowers are presented to the supreme Lord. Incense is lit and prayers are spoken. A lamp is shown, but the act is neither claimed nor refused. Food is offered with the Gāyatrī mantra. Oblations are poured into the sacred fire. Water is given for washing hands, face, and mouth. The fruit of the pūgī, tāmbūla, and aromatic substances are surrendered. The worshipper offers the mantra, flowers, and even the self. All dualities—body and mind, friend and foe, light and dark—are negated. “I light the lamp born of fire, I do not offer it, nor do I withhold it; today I have read the scriptures, neither for myself nor for others, yet I have sought the bowl in the pot.” “Neither in the body nor in the mind, neither in the world nor in the illusions, neither in the known nor in the unknown, neither in the past nor in the future, neither in the ages nor in the generations, neither in the good nor in the evil, neither in the wise nor in the ignorant, neither in the friend nor in the foe, neither in the new nor in the old, neither in the light nor in the darkness, neither in the fields nor in the forests, nor in us.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Evening satsang from Jadan Ashram. On the begining Swamiji is chanting Om Namah Shivaya.

Anuṣṭhāna is a powerful sādhanā for spiritual purification and achieving liberation through devotion. Anuṣṭhāna is done with a pure and deep resolution to purify the Antaḥkaraṇa and become free from the three tapas. Continuous practice must not be interrupted, or time is lost. Consciousness is polluted through the doors of intellect, mind, and senses by this material world. True reality is Brahman; the world is illusory. The sādhaka rises like a lotus from muddy water, unstained yet living in worldly existence. Sacred places, Siddha Pīṭhas, filter negative energies and make anuṣṭhāna successful. Faith and clear saṅkalpa are essential; without them, mantras become hollow mental repetition. God is Niranjan, pure consciousness, not physical forms. Liberation comes from knowledge and bhakti, and the root of liberation is Guru’s grace. Seva combines devotion, knowledge, meditation, and renunciation. When devotion is lost, everything is lost; bhāva is value and devotion. Doubts drop spiritual worth like falling gold prices. Therefore, protect spirituality through satsaṅga and avoid kuśaṅga. Negative thoughts return to you like dust thrown at the sun. The mind must meditate on the Supreme, who protects those with divine love. With purified consciousness, one becomes the lotus, attracting grace. "Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā, Eko Brahma Dvitīya Nāsti." "Mokṣa Mūlam Guru Kṛpā. When we lose the Guru’s grace, we lose everything." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect. "If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere." "The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 155b

Simple living and inner peace are found through conscious practices that connect us to our divine essence. Modern life creates stress by distancing us from natural simplicity. Media consumption replaces true connection with nature and others. A healthy lifestyle requires deep contemplation on nourishment, breath, and movement. What we eat carries vibrational information; vegetarian food supports non-aggression. Conscious breathing connects us to prāṇa, the source of all change. Prayer positively charges the water within our bodies. Concentration techniques, like observing the breath or a candle flame, cultivate inner stillness. By mastering simple techniques, we find calm at the center of life's activity and transform our lives. "Go and teach people the technique of simple life, simple being." "In action, one sees the people; and in stillness, one sees the action—truly, that one is wise." Filming locations: Prešov Yoga Center, Prešov, Slovakia.

The practice integrates āsanas, mudrās, and awareness to purify and align the inner systems. Begin by relaxing the mind in Vajrāsana. Yoga Mudrā cleanses impurities, working on depression and eyesight. The most important aspect is to not be carried away by inquiry during the hold. Discipline may become challenging with more time, but consistent short practice is foundational. The offering of yoga must come first to avoid problems. Āsanas like Mayūrāsana generate internal heat and are best practiced when the prāṇa is revealed. Physical preparation through postures like Ustrāsana creates the necessary space in the body. The practice aims to activate centers like the Māṇipūra and Viśuddhi Cakras. Ultimately, one must create something tangible in the physical realm to become necessary, activating every aspect of being without pride. "Not as one who cleanses, but as one who welcomes the arriving guest." "If you want to be necessary, then you must create something tangible, but concerning physical matters, not about the subtle."

Begin the practice of āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Close the eyes and attune to the practice. Scan and relax the entire body. Observe the complete yogic breath. The first āsana is Ānanda Āsana, the posture of relaxation. Lie down comfortably and consciously relax each part of the body. Physical relaxation leads to spiritual relaxation. This posture must be performed at the beginning and end of every session. Next, train in abdominal breathing by placing a hand on the abdomen and observing its movement. Conscious abdominal breathing leads to relaxation and improves circulation. Practice stretching the body by extending the limbs in rhythm with the breath. This releases accumulated tension. Perform head turns and twists while lying down to increase spinal mobility and harmonize the breath. Always observe the effect of each exercise. Move through shoulder exercises while standing to relax and strengthen the joints. Shift body weight from leg to leg to strengthen muscles and improve balance. Conclude by returning to Ānanda Āsana. Scan the body and observe the deepening relaxation. Gradually conclude the practice by moving the fingers and toes. Rise carefully, always moving from lying down through a transitional seated position. "Physical relaxation leads to spiritual relaxation." "Conscious abdominal breathing leads to physical and spiritual relaxation." Filming location: UK

This is a gentle yoga sequence for menstrual well-being. We begin with relaxation and full yogic breath to harmonize body and mind. Specific postures target the pelvic area and lower back. The first exercise involves bringing one knee to the chest, then extending the leg, performed slowly and consciously. This is followed by Marjari, the cat pose, to create a supple back. We then practice hip-opening postures like the half and full butterfly. A key squatting pose is emphasized for menstrual issues, grounding, and leg strength. We proceed to Setu Āsana, the bridge, to strengthen the lower body. A final side-lying balance pose benefits the lower abdomen. Conclude by feeling the effects of the practice. "This exercise is especially good for menstrual problems, and also beneficial for the lower back, constipation, and hips." "This pose is especially good for women... for irregular menstruation, or for heavy bleeding between periods."

The essence of bhajan is devotional singing. It is a practice of the heart, not a performance of the mind. The technical method is secondary to the feeling of devotion. One begins by simply joining in the collective voice. The melody and rhythm are vehicles for love. The correct form emerges from sincere participation. It is an offering, not an exhibition. The act itself is the teacher. "Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā..." "Because I don’t know how to do it."

Welcome to this gathering, representing union and professional service. The organization's journey is acknowledged from its founding members to current teachers and future trainees. This conference symbolizes the mission to unite all yoga teachers and interested individuals, transcending styles and traditions. It also focuses on developing professional knowledge and skills while honoring the spirit of service. The gathering itself provides support and relationships as valuable as formal content. The teacher is the guide from darkness to light, so spoken instruction must be authentic and correct. The hope is for this union to align with wisdom, with support through any future disturbances. "Our gathering here fulfills the primary reason the organization exists." "Every word you speak to your students is precious. Therefore, we must speak authentic, correct information."

Spirituality depends on the clarity of consciousness. Consciousness is meant to be transparent but becomes polluted by negative thoughts, ego, jealousy, greed, hate, and the consumption of meat, alcohol, and drugs, which act like a virus. This pollution obscures the inner mirror and prevents the divine vision seen by great seers. Such clarity requires removing impurities through dedicated practice and understanding. The consequences of one's actions are witnessed by the soul alone in the astral state, where one reviews life and chooses a future birth based on unresolved attachments and habits. Human weakness lies in the inability to relinquish these habits, despite theoretical knowledge. True progress comes only from consistent practice. "If you have negative thoughts, your inner mirror is unclear, not transparent." "Tons of theory are zero compared to a gram of practice." DVD 209a

Bhajans are personal spiritual expressions containing teachings and experiences, distinct from the repetition of kīrtan. Their purpose is for self-expression and inner experience, not performance. All beings seek happiness because their true, divine nature is happiness itself. Reality is one, immortal Brahman; duality is mortal ignorance. We are part of this universal oneness but live separated from it. The journey is illustrated through the water cycle. A drop evaporates from the ocean, becomes fog and clouds, and falls as rain seeking to return. It may be diverted, just as one can be stolen from the spiritual door by anger. Final union with the ocean is permanent bliss, paramānanda. This unity with the cosmic self is the realized happiness expressed in devotion. Singing such a bhajan allows one to observe the mind and feel waves of bliss, connecting heart and consciousness. The Guru's wisdom is like nourishing nectar, providing direct, complete knowledge that quenches all thirst and ends all fear and movement of longing. "Now I have attained happiness by the shelter of my master." "Anger is that thief which will steal from you at your door before you can enter your house with treasures."

The practice of śalabhāsana and complementary āsanas builds strength and influences consciousness. Śalabhāsana strengthens the posterior muscles and works on self-confidence. Hold the posture with full lungs and descend on the exhalation, though breathe naturally if there is high blood pressure. Remain soft while using strength. It corrects the pelvis and benefits the prostate and menstruation. A variation with hands under the body stretches the digestive tract and is ideal before meditation. Avoid excessive bending in the lumbar area; focus the bend in the thoracic part. Follow with relaxation and pavanamuktāsana to release lower back tension. Sarvāṅgāsana benefits peripheral circulation and balances thyroid function, but avoid it with hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, or during menstruation. It improves circulation to the head and allows a subtle exhalation. Its counterpose is bhuḍaṅgāsana, which stretches the front and strengthens the arms; bend in the chest area, not the most flexible part. Halāsana stretches the back and affects the neck, emphasizing exhalation. Matsyāsana opens the chest, works on the thyroid and breathing, and is performed with inhalation through the nose and exhalation through the mouth. A one-legged balance pose aids concentration and nervous stability. Ardha Matsyendrāsana regenerates the spine and has anti-inflammatory properties. An inverted posture improves circulation to the head and spiritual development. Conclude with Tāḍāsana and Prāṇāyāma. Bhastrikā Prāṇāyāma intensifies the digestive fire and burns waste; relax the abdomen and let breath flow spontaneously without forcing inhalation. Avoid it with a brain tumor or elevated body temperature. Chant Oṁ to withdraw inward. "Remain soft in the posture, even while using strength." "In this posture, simply allow one subtle, extended exhalation." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

Yoga is the science of body, mind, spirit, and soul. Every practice has a purpose. Begin by relaxing in Ānandāsana with palms up to open the chest and lower the shoulders. Legs apart relaxes the pelvis. Abdominal breathing massages organs and calms emotions. Practice always within comfort, never forcing. Pavanamuktāsana stretches the spine and stimulates digestion. Marjari Āsana mobilizes the spine; let movement guide breath into harmony. Paścimottānāsana stretches from the perineum upward, affecting the Maṇipūra Cakra. Prasārita Pādottānāsana works the inner legs and digestion. Jānu Śīrṣāsana brings the body into balance through equal practice on both sides. Mṛgāsana strengthens the knees and calms the nervous system. After postures, rest in Ānandāsana to feel the effects on circulation, breath, and consciousness. "Allow the movement to cause the air to enter and the movement to cause the air to exit. In that way, in the fastest possible manner, we remove stress." "Āsanas do not act only on the body. They are also a correction of our behavior; they act on our consciousness." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

A journey of withdrawal and placement requires returning weapons to their correct positions and gathering one's essence into its proper place. Put down the arms and behold what is before you. The practice involves pulling the head back and withdrawing from confusion. Research places everything, and withdrawal returns each thing to its place. The essence is found in our place. Confuse the weapons with the weapons and create a different energy. Prepare the next question and gather possibility into the place. Focus on the placement and arrive at stability. Mix the weapons and feel the service within them. The meditation speaks of needs and focuses on drawing together. "We place the next spot in the next place." "Withdrawal, the place to its place, the place to its place."

The eternal journey is the soul's passage through creation back to its divine origin. Consciousness exists within infinite space as a balanced unity. From the resonant sound AUM, light and all universes manifest. The individual soul journeys across lifetimes, accumulating karma through action. This karma is carried by the soul itself. The ultimate aim is to return to the source, the universal consciousness. Human life is a rare opportunity for this liberation. Intellect alone is insufficient; the heart must be opened through love and devotion. Various spiritual paths, like yoga, facilitate this reunion. Practice is essential. "Within you is the fountain of joy." "Believe in thyself that you are, and you would like to come this way." Filming locations: Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.

Yoga is the universal principle of balance, harmony, and union. It is the balancing force within cosmic consciousness and space, maintaining all elements and celestial bodies. This same principle balances the five elements composing the human body, harmonizing its systems, mind, and emotions. Where balance exists, harmony follows, leading to unity—the union of individual with the cosmic One. The primordial vibration is the sound Oṁ, understood as the form of the supreme reality. All creation is a manifestation of that One; every element and living being is holy and divine. Yoga is thus the sustaining energy within the body. Practical systems like āsanas were developed from observing nature to maintain this balance in body, mind, and soul. These postures, often named for animals, influence glands, circulation, and psychology holistically. The complete practice includes prāṇāyāma, mudrās, bandhas, and meditation. Discipline is essential, yet modern life requires dedicated retreats to reconnect with this principle through silence and nature. "Yoga is the principle that maintains the balance between that consciousness and the space." "Where there is balance, there is harmony. Therefore, the next step to understanding yoga is harmony. And where there is harmony, there is unity." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 209b

Devotion in Kali Yuga transforms inner darkness into light. External Kali Yuga continues for millennia, yet the true Kali Yuga exists within—negative qualities like hate and greed. Sat Yuga is also within—knowledge of Brahman, the sole truth, while the world is temporary. Never think you are the doer; a higher power provides for all, just as the dog mistakenly believed it pulled the buggy. In this age, devotion is primary; repeating the divine name is the sole refuge. Singing bhajans expresses the soul’s call in the heart’s language, needing no translation. A great saint asked only for devotion—nothing else makes one unshakable. God walks behind the devotee; nothing can bind the divine except the rope of love. This love seeks not wealth or liberation, only devotion itself. The Guru removes all suffering, bestows wisdom, meditation, and self-realization. He gives the eight siddhis and nine nidhis, opening inner happiness none can steal. Devotion is an inexhaustible source; intellectual knowledge runs dry. True sincere love pleases God; tricky temporary devotion does not. Practice meditation consistently, reject laziness. Live in the world, maintain family, continue sadhana without pressuring others. After sleep and work, time remains for yoga. Real freedom is liberation from rebirth. “Kali Yuga Kevala Nāma Ādhāra, Sumira Sumira Narahoi Bhavapāra.” “I can break everything, but not this rope… this is the rope of love.” Filming locations: Ashram, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.

The eternal journey of the soul is our subject today. We originate from the supreme resonance, Oṃ, and the light of Śiva. As individual souls, we are bundles of karma, rolling through countless lives across the universe. We incarnate in various forms, collecting impressions like a growing snowball. Our destiny, shaped by these karmas, carries us on an astral journey after death, unseen like a vanished flame. The goal is to return to our origin, the cosmic self. This is illustrated by the water cycle: from the ocean as steam, to clouds, to rain, to rivers, and back to the ocean. Similarly, the jīvātmā journeys through forms until merging with Brahman, ending the cycle. The path is determined by our life's actions. At death, the soul exits one of ten doors; liberation comes through the crown. Therefore, do not worry about the journey's difficulties. Focus on self-realization through devotion and divine name, which is the essence of all paths. Our attachments are temporary. Follow the inner light and sound to attain eternal peace.

The mind is a mighty elephant requiring the goad of self-mastery. The purpose of Mauna, or silence, is inner observation to understand life's purpose and obstacles. Patañjali describes thoughts as either negative (kliṣṭa) or positive (akliṣṭa). Your world is created by your thinking; positive thoughts manifest a positive reality, while negative thoughts manifest suffering. This thinking influences all beings and events around you. Observing and purifying these mental fluctuations through Mauna develops willpower and clarity. The mind is composed of ambitions, willpower, and ego. Like blind men describing only parts of an elephant, intellectual theories cannot fully capture the mind. True understanding comes only from direct inner experience through meditation. To control this mighty elephant, one needs the goad of discernment and self-control over the senses. Mastery means not being a slave to fear or desire. Practical self-knowledge, gained by looking within, is essential. Ultimately, realize the immortal self beyond worldly attachments and duality. "Everything is created out of the mind. The world is created by the cosmic mind." "O my inner divine self, you are the king of my senses and my mind. Don’t be their servant; you be their ruler." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 208a

Dharma is duty, principle, and the inherent nature of all things. Uphold your duty and it upholds you; neglect it and it will neglect you. Humans must use reason, not just feeling, to understand and practice Dharma. Karma is all action, from breathing to thinking. Deliberate actions with intent create effects. Selfish karma binds; selfless karma liberates. Service, or Sevā, is a powerful selfless action. Every action has a reaction, creating a continuous cycle. Once an action is done, its effect becomes your destiny or fate, which is stored within. The Mūlādhāra Cakra is the root center where this latent karma resides, symbolized by a lotus in water—remaining in the world but untouched by it. Our task is to purify this foundation by removing impurities, disturbances, and veils of ignorance through practice and awareness. "Dharma Rakṣita Rakṣitaḥ. If you uphold your Dharma, then Dharma will also uphold you." "Selfish karma binds us, and selfless karma liberates us." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany DVD 206b

The universe is infinite space, a cosmic womb containing consciousness as its brain, pervading all. Individual consciousness seeks union with this cosmic consciousness, which is the goal of all spiritual paths. The unifying force is Yoga. Within cosmic consciousness is divine will, manifesting first as the primordial sound Oṃ, from which all elements and creation arise. The Vedas describe this vast creation. On Earth, among 8.4 million life forms, humans possess a unique intellect capable of self-liberation or entanglement. Consciousness operates on unconscious, subconscious, and conscious levels; spiritual practice aims for superconsciousness and liberation from rebirth. All life is interconnected, and human actions, driven by greed and poor education, cause planetary harm. True help is practical. The nervous system's energy centers can be purified through practices like Prāṇāyāma. We have forgotten our true Self, seeking outwardly instead of within. "Consciousness is like the brain of this cosmic womb, a golden embryo. It permeates the entire universe."

The path of mantra and selfless action is essential for spiritual success. Time is precious, and a day spent in divine thought, mantra, and selfless service is blessed. Selfless action, or Niṣkāma Karma, is service performed for the benefit of all beings and the environment. Selfish action, or Sākāma Karma, is performed with expectation and is necessary for worldly life but should not dominate. One must repay what is taken. Mantra practice is central, and the Guru Mantra is paramount. All mantras, spiritual science, and holy scriptures originate from the divine source. Until initiated by a living master, one follows the scriptures; after initiation, one follows the master's words. The mantra is a seed in the heart that must be nurtured daily with care, like a tree that grows strong over time. Quick growth yields weak wood, and seeking quick realization yields no true attainment. Practice must be constant, like an addiction, to maintain spiritual energy. Writing the mantra, or Akṣara Brahma, implants it in the subconscious through sacred sound. The practice evolves into mental repetition, becoming constant and unspoken, connecting consciousness to the supreme sound. Satsaṅg, or divine company, is crucial for growth. Mere possession of a mantra is insufficient; constant practice regenerates energy and memory, making spiritual life sustainable. "Meditation without a mantra is a body without a soul." "Therefore, slowly, slowly—without mantra, without the practice of mantra, there is no way." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 205b

Navarātrī honors the Divine Mother, source of all manifestations. The universal Śakti gives birth to great souls. Kriyā means action; the cosmos, nature, and body function continuously. Haṭha yoga prescribes six cleansing kriyās for purification. Systematic practice under a master’s guidance is essential. Doubt breaks the disciple-master link, causing fall. Guru Tattva is the indwelling wisdom, not the physical form. Mind takes all impressions and transfers them to subconscious; intellect judges. Mind cannot be stopped; give it direction through devotion. Subconscious stores experiences from conception, forming destiny. Past-life karma lies dormant in the Mūlādhāra Chakra. Kriyā practice purifies subconscious and uplifts consciousness. One round of Kriyā with full devotion equals one incarnation. Practice requires sattvic life, avoiding drugs and meat, and mastery of āsana, prāṇāyāma, bandhas, mudrās, and concentration. Practice only once daily, following the master’s rules. This leads to liberation from bondage. "Mind is like a river. Don’t block it. You can give a direction to the river." "One round of Kriyā is like one incarnation."

The annual world parikramā honors the holy planet where the formless God manifests through the elements. All creatures offer prayer, both silent and loud. The cry of a suffering animal is its prayer. Great saints possess transparent vision of all three times; their words are unchangeable truth. To understand this Guru Vākya, one must attend satsaṅg. Service to the master is service to the living God, for a master transforms a disciple into a master, unlike a paras stone which only turns iron to gold. This grace is the root of liberation. Human consciousness must recognize that killing for food makes one the killer. The mouth is not a graveyard. The essence of "do not do to others what you dislike" connects all scriptures. A true call for help must come from the heart, as seen when even an animal's prayer is answered. "Do not do to others what you do not like to be done to you." "Thou shalt not kill." DVD 205a

Surya Namaskāra integrates posture, cakra concentration, and mantra for holistic purification. This classical yoga sequence is best performed at sunrise or sunset, honoring the sun as a life-giving deity. The practice involves precise physical movements, each linked to a specific cakra and breath. Quality is paramount: perfect the movement, maintain relaxation, focus on the cakra, and know the mantra. This complete structure yields the benefits. Daily practice makes one's being like the sun, purifying the atmosphere so negativity cannot take hold. Correct alignment prevents injury; the spine must remain straight during forward and backward bends. Concentration involves feeling each cakra's location and qualities. Integrating silent or spoken mantras with movement and breath deepens the effect, working on the body, cakras, and consciousness. "Anything thrown toward the sun either gets burned or, if it is dust, merely falls into your own eyes." "My photograph, my image, is the sun. Whenever you wish to see me, look at the sun."

Peace is in your hands, and inner peace is the foundation for world peace. A practical yoga system was created to address modern life's problems, now practiced globally. This system is an accredited university course and a tool for hospital rehabilitation. The organization is a UN-affiliated non-profit working for human rights, environmental protection, and universal welfare. Humanitarian projects include a large educational institute in India shaped like the Om symbol, a school for handicapped children, and a planned hospital. In drought areas, it provides free fire services and a rainwater harvesting initiative. The founder has initiated international peace summits and a world peace forum, promoting interfaith dialogue for decades. His efforts have been recognized with awards from global leaders for advancing citizens' holistic health. The core message is that personal transformation is essential for global change. "All elements are balanced in a perfect way, and that balancing principle, that is what I call yoga." "Be the change you want to see."

Meditation arises naturally when the mind is not forced. Sleep comes effortlessly when you do not struggle with thoughts; similarly, meditation is disturbed by excessive imagination. There are active and passive forms. Active meditation is karma yoga, finding contentment in joyful work. Passive meditation is self-inquiry, observing worldly thoughts to find peace. Within each day, time should be spent in peace. Analyze restless thoughts by asking their origin and cause. Only you and the divine witness your thoughts. Seek union with that divine witness rather than confusion. Progress to observing the natural breath, feeling its flow to release tension. This awareness fosters a direct connection with the formless divine presence. Expand this feeling to the motionless body, realizing the divine within and without. Cultivate inner qualities by clearing the heart and mind of disturbances. Abide in peace through mantra and awareness. For health, adopt a disciplined diet of fruits, vegetables, soups, and raw items like carrot sticks. Consume modest amounts of tofu and soya milk, a handful of nuts daily, and sprouted seeds. Avoid legumes, eggs, fish, and meat. This practice, followed for several weeks, promotes vitality. Additionally, take fresh turmeric powder in capsules daily to alleviate joint and knee problems. "Analyze your thought. What do I think? Why do I think like this? What did I think, and what is the cause of my thinking?" "Feel your breath inwardly. Even you feel the touch of your breath through the whole respiratory system. How the breath is flowing in and out." Filming locations: Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.

There are two kinds of happiness: temporary worldly joy and the supreme, everlasting bliss. The search for happiness is universal, yet worldly pleasure is fleeting. Lasting peace, or ānanda, is found within. It is awakened through truth and spiritual practice. Harsh words create lasting wounds, while kind speech brings peace. Doubt and negative company destroy inner tranquility, just as a cracked vessel loses its resonance. Faith and devotion are fragile; once broken, they are difficult to mend without leaving a knot. The ego is a primary obstacle, requiring surrender for healing. True happiness arises from selfless service, kindness, and realizing the divine fountain of joy within one's own heart. This eternal peace is accessed by sacrificing negative qualities and embracing self-realization. "The result of happiness is satsaṅg, and the result of unhappiness is the company of the foolish one." "Speak as if from your lips flowers are coming." Filming location: Sunshine Coast, Australia

Yoga practice must be systematic and integrated, not fragmented throughout the day. Daily practice is as essential as eating or breathing. Begin by preparing a personal space with your own mat and a cloth to preserve your energy. Start with relaxation, then gentle body-warming and stretching exercises, never forcing the body. Proceed into postures, holding them slowly to gain maximum benefit and allow muscles to relax fully, unlike dynamic sports which deplete energy. This method harmonizes circulation. Follow with prāṇāyāma to detoxify and increase vital energy. Breath should be slow to promote longevity. Purification practices and a sattvic diet, including spices like turmeric, support physical health. Prāṇāyāma also balances the nervous system and is a preventive measure for heart health. Practice culminates in meditation. Consistency in this integrated sequence cultivates physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being. "During the practice of āsanas, your body should not sweat. If your body is sweating, then you are giving too much force to your body." "Breathe slow... it is said, breathe slow, but in some techniques we have bhasṭrikā, we are doing quickly. That is not counted as a breath; that is counted as a practice." Filming locations: Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Australia

The world is an illusion like the golden deer that led to suffering. Desire for beautiful forms creates bondage. Rāma chased the illusory deer, and Sītā crossed the protective line, leading to her abduction. The deer was Māyā, the city of illusion. The spiritual lineage begins with Śiva, the self-manifested. From Śiva comes the primordial sound, Nāda, which manifests as light. That light shines in all beings. The Guru is like a box containing a priceless diamond. The outer form is worthless; the inner wisdom and love are the treasure. Enlightenment is not a physical light but wisdom and knowledge. Challenges appear as threatening weapons, but if not seen as threats, they dissolve. Practice makes the master. Repeat the mantra with confidence. The authentic tradition gives real authority, like a genuine passport. See the inner light, not just the outer form. The heart of the master is like that of a mother, boundless in love. "Enlightenment is a wisdom, a knowledge—that is all." "Practice makes the master. Practice, practice, practice your mantra with confidence." Filming locations: Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia

Understanding arises from receptivity, not acquisition. Be a guest, not a member of the household who takes only what is known. Bow down to receive from above. Observe your own actions to comprehend their roots. Every person offers a lesson through their behavior, even if it appears negative. A supportive environment is helpful, but the inner atmosphere is paramount. Community, or satsaṅg, nourishes the spiritual journey through shared understanding. Listen more than you speak. Accept teachings with heart and mind to find clarity; misunderstanding brings suffering. A story illustrates this: a disciple, told "God is in everyone," walked toward a mad elephant and was injured. The master corrected him: one must understand the nature and situation, using discrimination. Dharma is the protective principle in all things. Protect dharma, and it protects you. This applies to relationships, health, and community. Harmony requires understanding each person's dharma and avoiding reaction to negativity. "Do not miss anything. Misunderstanding can bring much suffering." "Protection is a protection. That is it." Filming location: Gold Coast, Australia

Prayer, surrender, and heeding the Guru’s word unlock healing and inner peace. A disciple near death was saved when the Guru declared death powerless without permission. A touch of the Guru’s hand brought swift recovery. Another disciple ignored a warning and got lost in rain. The Guru taught to search for truth in all words of saints. When a disciple lamented pain, the Guru said complaining does not free from karma. A turmeric root given by the Guru removed agony instantly. Forgetting the command to stay in Rajasthan, a disciple suffered burning eyes. In a dream, the Guru revealed the remedy: soaked chapati bread brought healing within two days. Prayer grants inner peace beyond outer circumstances. The world is a dream; the past is gone, so it must be released. The mind, like a frightened horse, shuns the water of prayer because of worldly noise; fear must be overcome. Faith is a fragile flame that doubt or bad company can extinguish. Daily practice of the Name is the only support in this age. Be like a honey bee extracting nectar from all situations. Surrender body, mind, and emotions to cross the ocean of existence. “Don’t worry, he will get better. Without my permission, death has no power over him.” “Past is past, delete it.” Filming location: Gold Coast, Australia

The gift of prayer and the art of detachment bring freedom. Prayer is the most powerful gentle tool given to humans. In dark times, it is better to light a candle of mantra than to stand in the dark. Whenever fear or depression arises, one should pray. Prayer purifies the inner functions—mind, intellect, consciousness, ego—which gather worldly pollution daily. Mantra acts as an ever-ready filter for all situations. One must pray from the heart without laying conditions before the Divine. A Himalayan sage taught only two words: “Todo, Joḍo”—break attachment, join detachment. Attachment to the material brings disappointment, for nothing is permanent. Love for God may involve suffering, but unwavering love draws the Divine near. A seeker in the forest, tested by a crow, begged that his eyes be spared to see his Beloved, and God manifested. Another story tells that during hardship, one is carried in the palm of the Divine. Mīrā’s life shows that total devotion survives poison, sword, and blame, merging at last into the eternal flame. Knowing is not realizing; so practice, practice, practice—abhyāsa. Where there is ignorance, there is attachment; where there is love, there is detachment. Love your family and use money wisely, helping those in need, without clinging. Be thankful for all given, and when it passes, let go with gratitude. “When the day is dark and the way is hard to find, don’t let your heart be worried. Just keep one thought in mind: it is better to light a candle than to stand in the dark.” “Break the attachment, join the detachment.” Filming location: Gold Coast, Australia

Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, a blessing for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Daily practice of āsana, prāṇāyāma, and mantra meditation is necessary. Karma is committed through body, mind, speech, and wealth. One must not cause tears or speak harsh words, for words wound lifelong. Doubt destroys faith and devotion; it must be banished. The soul gathers karma like a snowball; through devotion, negative layers fall away and the soul becomes light. Health is the first happiness—without it, all is nothing. In the body flow seventy-two thousand channels; three are principal: iḍā, piṅgalā, and suṣumnā. Prāṇa is the life force that departs at death. The soul exits through nine doors or, for a yogī, through the crown. At death, the left nostril reveals a dark tunnel, the right a milky light, and the central a highway guided by holy ones. When the soul leaves via suṣumnā, all karma is dissolved. The ātmā is immortal, ever untouched by weapon, fire, water, or death. That ātmā pervades every atom, star, and creature. Realize the self as that universal light. Practice brings the presence of God, not imagination. “Pahalā Sukh Nirogī Kāyā.” — First happiness is a healthy body. “Ātmā jise śastra kāṭe na agni jalāve, bujhāve na pānī na mṛtyu miṭāve.” — The soul cannot be cut by weapons, burned by fire, drowned by water, or taken by death.

Destiny affects even divine incarnations, but devotion to the holy name and the Guru’s word offers liberation. Even divine incarnations like Jesus and Mansur have a destiny, enduring suffering to show realization endures. Trust between master and disciple erases all separation, merging soul into soul. In the Rāmāyaṇa, Lakṣmaṇa lay dying, and the only cure was the Sañjīvanī herb from the Himalayas. Hanumān flew to fetch it, overcoming obstacles when the herbs were disguised. Even Lord Rāma watched the moon set and pleaded for Hanumān’s return. This shows that destiny affects all, including incarnations. In Kali Yuga, the sole refuge is repetition of the holy name—kīrtan and bhajan. Kīrtan is constant chanting, awakening sound from the navel center. This vibration purifies negative energies and recharges every cell. Bhajan includes teachings, removing doubts and giving clarity. Both practices influence destiny by reordering karmic consequences. The Guru’s word can postpone or mitigate one’s fate. Following that word is the essence of mantra power. Satsaṅg, even alone, and forgiveness strengthen spiritual practice. The great forgive; the small make disturbances. Through devotion and the holy name, one crosses suffering to mastery over destiny. "Śaśī ḍhala rahā, śamā tala rahā, Lakṣmaṇa ke prāṇa jā rahā.

The divine light and hidden powers within us are obscured by ego and ignorance, awaiting awakening through spiritual guidance. As a child, we embody infinite potential, but this inner light becomes veiled over time. We meet a teacher who helps remove this veil, revealing the eternal Self that was always present. This inner divinity exists in all beings and all forms—in trees, rocks, and every heart. The world is transient, but devotion to God is the sole truth. Our human duty is to love all beings as ourselves. True yoga balances the inner energies to awaken consciousness and reach the state of nothingness—the supreme reality. All powers and the entire universe exist within the human body. Through disciplined practice, we purify ourselves and awaken these divine qualities. "Within you is the fountain of joy. The joy which we are searching for is within us, nowhere else." "Hari bhajan ek satya, jagat sab sapnā. The devotion to God is real, and the world is a dream." Filming location: Melbourne, Australia

Swamiji introduces MM Swami Jasraj Puri and explaines in great detail what means Mahamandaleshwar and Akkhara. Ashram: A means welcome, Shram means work. Ashram means: Come to work here on your body, mind, consciousness and realisation. Space is the endless glory of God. We don't know where is the beginning or the end. We are limited. The endless space is like a mother, the cosmic consciousness. Between space and consciousness is Yoga shakti. Yoga is balancing, harmonising and uniting. God is manifested in the form of vibration, sound, resonance - OM - Everything comes from that and merges in that. Yogis are meditating on that. The aim of human life is to help, to serve, to support others and selfrealisation. The human life is a precious diamant but we will not get it again and again. Translation of the bhajan: Sadho bhai ab kyu karo the moro. Recorded in Melbourne, Australia.
