The glory of satsang reveals the path beyond all borders. Love knows no distance; borders are created by human ignorance. The aim of human life is to cross karmic borders and attain moksha. This satsang is Satya Yuga itself; outside it is Kali Yuga. Even gods covet human birth because only through it can self-realization dawn. A saint’s uniform is wisdom and knowledge, not robes. Where knowledge is absent, desire and suffering arise; where knowledge shines, they cease. The soul is an individual victim of destiny, while the atma is universal and free. True study means examining your inner life chapters—unfinished closures, joys turning to sorrow, and your own role. Devas enjoy heaven from past merits, but that expires; they plead to be born human to find a master and gain moksha. Satsang transforms like iron touched by the paras stone becoming gold, but the Guru makes you the Guru. Merge with the Guru’s consciousness as canal water blends into the Ganges, losing ego. Fortunate ones come to satsang, for the jiva alone cannot repeat God’s name; old karmas slap you toward distraction. Settle all debts—material and emotional—for even one unpaid answer blocks the path to Brahmaloka. Work ceaselessly to uplift consciousness, or fall back into lower wombs. Become a deva-svarupa first: do not cheat, be helpful. Then the divine nectar of Ram’s name makes all worldly pleasures tasteless. "Where there is love, there is no distance. And when there is no love, even a neighbor’s door is too far." "This satsang is Satya Yuga. Now we are sitting in Satya Yuga." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

The everlasting self is the core truth, while the body and mind are temporary. The individual soul reflects the one universal consciousness, differentiated by karma. Fulfilling one's inherent duty protects and is protected by that duty. Human life is for self-realization, to know one's true nature as the Ātmā, not the body or soul. Practice is essential; efforts continue beyond a single lifetime. Health is foundational happiness, gained through personal discipline. Yoga and Āyurveda are sciences for holistic well-being, with consistent practice yielding physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. A pure heart and positive conduct define spirituality, which naturally harmonizes one's life. "Dharma rakṣita rakṣitaḥ. If you protect your dharma, dharma will protect you."

The Ājñā Chakra is the seat of inner knowledge and the gateway to Self-realization. This psychic center, known as the third eye, is where the three primary energy channels merge into oneness. It represents the highest human achievement, beyond animal qualities, where individual consciousness meets the divine. The chakra's two petals resonate with the sound "Haṁ Kṣaṁ," and its essence is the mantra Oṁ. Here resides the Guru Tattva, the inner guiding light of wisdom, not merely a person. When consciousness ascends to this point through meditation, past karmas dissolve, and one experiences the unity of knower, knowledge, and the object of knowledge. This leads to liberation from the cycle of birth and death, tasting the nectar of immortality. "Love every living being, if not more, then at least as much as you love yourself." "No weapons can destroy it. Fire cannot burn it... I am that immortal Self." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The perfection of the divine source and the purification of the throat chakra are our themes. The mantra teaches that the Supreme is perfect, and what emanates from it remains perfect. We are that perfect essence. Creation is the one becoming many, yet nothing is diminished. The Viśuddhi chakra relates to this purification. Ancient beings churned the ocean for nectar, producing both treasures and deadly poison. Lord Śiva drank and neutralized this poison in his throat, turning it blue. We similarly swallow life's poisons—harsh words and pains—often focusing on the negative. A story illustrates this: a king received a fruit of immortality. He gave it to his queen, who gave it to a stable hand, who gave it to a courtesan, who returned it to the king. The fruit's circular journey revealed misplaced attachments. The king, realizing the folly of worldly bonds, renounced his throne. The wise neutralize poison through knowledge and non-reaction, not through retaliation. The purified throat chakra represents infinite space and acceptance. We must filter negative emotions, embrace others with love, and become instruments of peace. Our consciousness is infinite; we must act from that wisdom. "Perfection, God, is perfect. What comes from the Perfect is also perfect." "And so, Viśuddhi, Viśuddhi contributes to this purification."

Satsang is the rare human gateway to liberation, a state even celestial beings long for. Among countless life forms, the human birth alone holds this potential. There is one religion: humanity, and one God, defined by divine qualities that admit no compromise. Beings known as Devas reach higher planes through merit and practice but remain bound to heaven's pleasures, never free from desire, and thus cannot attain Mokṣa. Liberation is possible only through the Guru's grace. The Guru is not a person but the very form of knowledge, the supreme Brahman beyond all duality. This grace is the sole root of liberation, which even the creator, preserver, and destroyer deities cannot bestow. Therefore, cherish Satsang, for it is the earthly heaven that leads to the Self. "Dhyāna-mūlam guru-mūrtiḥ — The root of meditation is the form of the Guru. Mokṣa is possible only through the grace of Gurudeva." "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara. Guru Sākṣhāt Paraṁ Brahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany

The body, the food sheath, is our primary concern. Without a healthy body, nothing is present. Health allows energy to flow, elevating consciousness toward cosmic consciousness, termed Nirvāṇa. Yet, even after this realization, one returns to work. The body is a vehicle; health is attained, not bought. Life is destiny. We are like leaves on the tree of life, carried by the wind of destiny. Our duty, our Dharma, is to act according to our responsibility. Protect your Dharma, and it will protect you. There is individual, human, and universal Dharma. Karma is action; Dharma is duty; destiny is the result. A healthy body and mind are essential. The five prāṇas must flow freely for health. Yoga is one, a blessing from Śiva, though taught through various systems. The core truth is to hold firmly to meditation, prayer, or the name of God; all else is transient. Specific postures like Halāsana, Matsyāsana, and Sarvāṅgāsana affect the glands and energy. Practice must be correct and individual, guided by a knowledgeable teacher. "Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health." "The leaf has fallen from the branch. The wind has blown it away... When will we come together again?"

The soul journeys through five sheaths towards its origin. The first sheath is the physical body, composed of food. Grain is sacred and life. The soul travels through the elements—fire, air, and water—before entering matter, such as a seed, to take birth. The second sheath is the energy body, the vital force. The third is the mental sheath. A pure mind, achieved through meditation and mantra, becomes a guiding light. The fourth sheath is the sheath of wisdom. The fifth is the sheath of bliss, which is temporary until one realizes the permanent bliss of the Self. The soul's goal is to return to its origin. Human karma is intentional and carries strong consequences; the greatest sin is harming life. Non-violence is the highest principle. Time and the human life are precious diamonds. Spiritual radiance is eternal. Obstacles to clarity are impurity, disturbances, and the veil of ignorance. Love is the soul's nature and the universe's greatest power. Practices like wearing a Rudrākṣa bead and Prāṇāyāma purify the throat center, harmonizing energy and dreams. "Every soul has a goal: to return to the origin." "Love is invisible, but love is like a fragrance. And love is so strong, no bullet can penetrate it." Filming location: Hamburg, Germany

Yoga in daily life is the application of yogic principles to every moment. It is not merely postures or breath control, but how one lives and thinks. The practice begins upon waking. The first conscious act should be to create a divine impression for the day. Open your eyes to a beautiful vision and offer a prayer of surrender. Acknowledge waking up as a divine blessing, not a personal achievement. Before stepping out of bed, respectfully ask Mother Earth for support, recognizing her as the source of all life. Approach water with gratitude, seeing it as a divine, life-giving element. Your entire day should be guided by pure thoughts, words, and actions aimed at helping others. Avoid being the cause of another's pain. Resolve conflicts through mutual understanding and love, not judgment. The essence is to simply be a positive presence in the world, like a flower that radiates its fragrance without effort. "My day should be happy, relaxed, protected, successful. Lord, guide my every step towards positive things." "Before you step down from the bed, you should say, 'Mother, allow me, give me the solid space under my foot, and carry me around with your love.'"

The path of Patañjali systematically guides from the body to the highest consciousness. Āsana is a comfortable, steady posture for concentration, not mere exercise. Prāṇāyāma exercises the vital energy through inhalation, retention, and exhalation. Practice begins with nāḍīśodhana for three months to purify the subtle channels, followed by anuloma viloma to balance the emotional and intellectual hemispheres. After nine months of foundational practice, one introduces breath retention with correct ratios. Pratyāhāra is the withdrawal of senses from external objects, enabling one to remain undisturbed. Dhāraṇā is one-pointed concentration, which leads to dhyāna, or meditative absorption. Samādhi is the state where knower, knowledge, and object merge into oneness. The complete Aṣṭāṅga Yoga includes yama and niyama, the ethical foundations. The core practice is mantra, which liberates the mind and requires continuous devotion to avoid spiritual downfall. "Prāṇa is not oxygen. Prāṇa is completely different from this." "When you do breath exercises, prāṇāyāma, there is no sweating. If you begin to sweat, then it’s the wrong technique."

Viveka—discernment between truth and untruth—is the foundation of spiritual life. Human beings have viveka, the highest quality of intellect, to distinguish reality from illusion. Without viveka, one dwells in ignorance, ego, and laziness. True viveka is unchanging; it is not the selfishness of the intellect. Mantra and meditation are inseparable: without mantra, meditation is a body without a soul. Discipline is the key to success in sādhanā. Practice daily until meditation becomes second nature. Meditation grants contentment and protects from the illusions of temporary things. An old man, once wealthy and surrounded by friends, found in old age that all had left him, revealing the emptiness of worldly pursuits. A master can take on a devotee’s destiny and nullify it. The story of a man seeking God in the forest illustrates that love endures even when crows peck the flesh. He begged the crow to spare his eyes so he might still see his beloved Lord. His unwavering devotion transformed the crow into Viṣṇu, who restored him and blessed him. Fear of loss and jealousy indicate an undeveloped personality; one should trust in destiny. Nothing is received before its time or beyond one’s fate. Chakras are astral and cannot be damaged, only purified through mantra. True meditation is to cease doing, to simply be in the inner presence, and to surrender. "Kāgā, sab tan khāyo, chun chun khāyo māas, magar do nain mat khāyo, piyā milan kiyā."

The three fires are the universal afflictions of body, mind, and worldly existence. Great sages researched how to be protected from these troubles, which include planetary and environmental influences. Mantras and prayers exist to align with positive divine power and avoid negative energies, which are easier to attain but lead to permanent suffering. Ancestral prayers are an ancient science to prevent interference and grant liberation, meaning the soul gains access to a new life. Every action, like building a house, has an auspicious time; ignoring this creates discord. The path begins with the peace mantra: "Asato mā sadgamaya," leading from unreality to reality. Meditation aims to become Tri-Kāla Darśī, a knower of past, present, and future, to avoid obstacles. Inner obstacles like anger and ego are a jungle; mantras open these barriers. Realize the immortal Self, one with Brahman, to end the cycle of birth and death. Ultimately, one is not the doer; the Divine alone acts. A true master possesses the grace to change what seems destined. "Believing does not change reality, and not believing also does not change reality. The truth is truth." "The aim of meditation is to lead me from mortality to immortality. That I realize this immortal Self." Filming location: London, UK

The full moon day reveals the power of yoga as the union of individual consciousness with the cosmic. The moon's radiance enters vegetation as nectar, as declared by God Krishna. Yoga literally means union or balance, harmonizing space and consciousness. In endless space, a tendency awoke within cosmic consciousness, initiating time and the yugas. That awakening gave rise to the primordial sound Aum and the trinity; elements then manifested. Every individual soul is a ray of the cosmic sun, adrift on time’s waves, experiencing dualities. The soul is covered by five sheaths: food, energy, mind, knowledge, and causal bliss. Two opposing forces, divine and negative, perpetually struggle, with humans caught between. Senses record information that becomes subconscious desires; unfulfilled desires turn into psychic problems. These sink into the unconscious, forming destiny from past and present lives. Only reaching the superconscious through meditation purifies all levels. Meditation is not a technique; it arises when the body is still and thoughts are mastered. The sage Patañjali teaches yoga begins with discipline and the cessation of mental modifications. Like a candle lit from another’s flame, the disciple receives light from the enlightened master. Meditation destroys the darkness of ignorance instantly, like light in a cave. Free from fear and ambition, meditation generates pure willpower. The ultimate goal is the drop merging into the ocean of cosmic consciousness. "Through the moonlight, I enter into the vegetation as nectar." "Yogaś citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ."

The path to samādhi requires overcoming attachment, the obstacle of moha that brings ignorance and suffering. Samādhi is the upliftment of consciousness where knower, knowledge, and object merge into oneness. Patañjali warns of obstacles, and moha—attachment or dependence—is the most difficult to overcome. Moha is ignorance that claims temporary things as one's own, leading to suffering. Relation can exist without suffering, but attachment always brings pain, disappointment, anger, and jealousy. Discipline is essential; yoga begins with discipline, as Patañjali's first sūtra states. Without discipline, life remains unsuccessful, and quality does not compromise. A story told by Gurujī illustrates nirmohī, freedom from attachment. A yogī tested King Nirmohī Rājā by bringing a bloodstained shirt, implying his son's death. The king responded that every life has counted breaths, destiny determines the span, and why interrupt meditation for this. The queen thanked the yogī for the news, saying she was happy the son no longer suffers, and asked why disturb his meditation. The daughter-in-law calmly said the ātmā had merged into hers, and the yogī should not take trouble but just pray. The yogī then revealed the son was alive, acknowledging their true nirmohī nature. The king credited the yogī's blessing and līlā. Becoming nirmohī is easy to say but hard to realize, like salt burning under skin. Many mistake drowsiness or sensory satisfaction for samādhi, but one must awaken to the inner divine color. "Where there is moha, there will be disappointment, pain, anger, hate, jealousy, ego, offense, and feelings of humiliation." "Thank you for the news. I am happy he is not suffering anymore. But why disturb your meditation?" Filming location: Pashman, Croatia

The path leads from fear to fearlessness and from mortality to immortality. The greatest fear is of death, not merely of leaving the body but of the suffering involved. We pray, like the ripe fruit that separates effortlessly from the vine, for a smooth transition leading to liberation. Spiritual practice aims to free us from the cycle of birth and death and the disappointments of this world. Our restless mental habits and desires constantly pull us outward into attachment, creating a powerful bondage that is difficult to break. Intellectual knowledge alone cannot liberate us; we require the grace of true wisdom or a teacher. When the mind is purified through sustained practice, its tendencies become helpers on the path, leading to steadiness and light. One merges with the supreme consciousness, where individual sorrow and happiness cease, and everlasting bliss dawns. "Urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt—may we be liberated from death like the ripe fruit from its stalk, to attain immortality." "The tail of the dog and the moustache of a man are always curved... Similarly, our vṛttis—habits, desires, thoughts—go there again and again." Filming location: Island Pashman, Croatia

To have successful spiritual practice, first remember Śrī Gaṇeśa, the remover of all obstacles. He is the Lord of protection and intellect, worshipped first even by other deities. A simple, heartfelt prayer is sufficient. His blessing brings perfection and wealth, and he resides within all creation, closer than one can think. Invoke him at the start of any endeavor. The path of practice faces obstacles, described as five primary afflictions: three forms of suffering from nature, destiny, and other beings; the burden of sin; and uncontrolled breath. These create persistent distress. The remedy is disciplined, constant practice—abhyāsa—and surrender. Haṭha Yoga’s purification techniques are particularly powerful for removing these impediments and purifying consciousness. Ultimately, through steady devotion and practice, one finds refuge and freedom from all suffering. "Gaṇapati dhyāve sadā sukha pāve." "Without abhyāsa, without sādhanā, you cannot come."

The dharma of a guest and the inner obstacles to spiritual practice are our themes. We are guests on this island, not tourists. A guest behaves beautifully, leaving a permanent, positive memory for the host, respecting their property as our own. Real happiness is found in spiritual knowledge, not in worldly hunger for money or partners. Moksha comes only through pure devotion and sattvic practice. The ocean is holy and should be respected, not polluted. True spirituality is often found in simple, devout lives, not just in religious attendance. Patañjali explains why yoga practice fails: inner obstacles awaken from the subconscious. The first obstacle is illness in body, senses, or mind. The second is losing interest in your sadhana. The third is losing your energy and confidence. The fourth and fifth relate to the gunas: rajas brings anger, tamas brings laziness, our greatest enemy. The sixth is when senses become slaves to desire, scattering your focus. The seventh is false knowledge, seeing a rope as a snake, doubting your path. The eighth is losing interest when you perceive no progress; you must persist like the ant. The ninth is a restless, fluttering mind in meditation. These inner obstacles must be overcome through discipline and devotion. "Real happiness is in ātmā jñāna, brahma jñāna." "Bhai tum jāgo re, terā auṣar bitā jāye."

A master observes disciples to test their true spiritual attainment beyond mere words. The ancient sage Patañjali would take his disciples on retreats, observing their conduct. He announced a test to see who had transcended worldly attachments and ego. One disciple claimed to have realized the supreme Self, stating nothing existed, not even master or disciple. To test this, the master raised a bamboo stick. The disciple reacted with anger, proving his ego remained. The master then sent him away for further practice. This illustrates that realization is shown through unshakable equanimity, not philosophical claims. Modern practitioners are similarly examined through their daily actions, respect for sacred elements, and dignified conduct, distinguishing a true spiritual aspirant from mere worldly behavior. "The master said, 'Oh, you said nothing exists in you. From where did it come out?'" "Respect the water element, respect the fire element, respect the air element." Filming location: Croatia

The spiritual path requires constant practice, discipline, and the grace of the Guru. This human life offers the rare opportunity for self-realization, a goal achieved across many lifetimes through dedicated sādhanā. The practitioner is refined like metal in a fire, shaped by the Guru's guidance to purify the ego and negative qualities. Many obstacles arise, such as doubt, neglect, and negative associations, which can cause a seeker to fall from progress. One must remain ever alert and devoted to practice. The mind is restless like a fish, difficult to grasp. Constant repetition of mantra, prayer, and remembrance of the Guru provides protection and guidance. Ultimately, through persistent effort and grace, one can realize the supreme Self, becoming free from all bondage. "God and devotee are one; they are not two. One comes as two to play this cosmic theater." "Therefore, the sādhaka should have devotion to his or her practice, sādhanā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A life without problems does not exist; problems are external and inner. Every day you awaken and retire with different feelings, encountering many things and experiencing brutish thoughts like disappointment, jealousy, and anger. The highest principle is the Guru, with Brahmā as the first guru. All beings in form experience daily disappointments and arguments, but everything can be solved through sādhanā. Inner qualities like those of a thief, asura, or saint define a person, though the immortal ātmā does not possess these. The guru sequence includes mother and father, friends, priest, teacher, Satguru, and finally your own awakened consciousness. A guru can make a disciple a guru, unlike a paras stone which cannot create another paras. Wisdom awakens within like a fountain from Brahman. All problems are solved through prayer, which is a personal consultation and dialogue with God where you verbally make your request clear. "Ātmā is immortal, but the ātmā does not possess these qualities we call devas, asuras, rākṣasas, and so on. These are inner qualities." "Prayer means personal consultation with God, with your Iṣṭa Devatā. Prayer is a dialogue, and in that dialogue, God will answer you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga is a universal system for human well-being, encompassing body, mind, consciousness, and soul. It is an ancient science aimed at physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. The system called Yoga in Daily Life is not different from yoga itself; it is simply a complete and compact method designed for ease of practice by everyone, regardless of age, health, or circumstance. It offers specific exercises for all, including therapeutic applications for various diseases, serving as both prevention and treatment. Yoga exists above any single religion; it is for all people who seek health, happiness, and a balanced life. To navigate modern life, one must balance outer career duties with inner family and spiritual life. Ancient wisdom provides the guidance needed for contentment today. While there are precautions for the seriously ill, therapeutic yoga practices are designed for different capacities. The current moral crisis stems from a lack of discipline and the temptations promoted by media, which should instead protect human culture and foster spiritual consciousness. "Yoga is above religion. Because who doesn’t want to be healthy? Who would not like to be happy?"

The longing for satsaṅg is the central theme. I deeply long for my guru brothers and sisters, all who attend satsaṅg, to the point my eyes fill with tears when I think of them. It is said that where there is daily satsaṅg, a fortunate one can go and attend. Tomorrow is the last day of satsaṅg here. We will then leave this meadow for the rabbits and hedgehogs. The final statements about a tree and beautiful times are unclear and lack a logical connection to the preceding spiritual discourse. "Satgurū satsaṅgī aurī olu avere, olu avere nen bharjā avere."

The human form is a rare door to divine realization on this mortal recreation planet. The same supreme consciousness reflects in all 8.4 million life forms, but only humans possess the discriminating intellect to understand life, death, and the divine. This intellect, when illuminated, dispels ignorance like the dawn sun. The cycle of birth and death continues until one wisely turns toward God. Human life is the opportunity for this turning, requiring disciplined practice and a firm resolve. The eternal Guru principle, beyond any physical form, is the guiding light on this journey. Without a Guru's grace and guidance, a practitioner risks spiritual stagnation or confusion, unable to reach the ultimate goal. "Fortunate ones are we that we got the human body."

The profound connection between master and disciple is illustrated through the story of Siamdas and Ramdas. A master and his disciple lived in a place near Khatu. The master announced he would enter Mahāsamādhi the next day and had a burial place prepared. His disciple, Ramdas, expressed his despair at being left alone. In response, the master invited the disciple to sit beside him. Together, they chanted "Oṃ" and left their bodies simultaneously. Their shared Samādhi remains a site for visitation and adoration. This story exemplifies the ultimate sādhanā. All practitioners who follow the path and the Guru's word can one day achieve such a consciousness. When the time comes, the master will call the disciple to join him, even promising to handle any remaining worldly duties. This demonstrates a unity where two bodies share one soul. "Come, sit beside me. We will go together." "Two bodies, but one ātmā, one soul." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Heaven is in the forest; hell is in the city. Cities are full of disturbances and fear, like the fear of financial loss. Fear arises from the mind's focus on having or not having, not from external conditions. True joy is found through sacrifice and renunciation. A person free from desire and inner afflictions achieves liberation. The story of a yogi in a cremation ground illustrates perfect renunciation. He desired nothing, not even a boon from Shiva, demonstrating a state beyond all worldly attachment. A yogi must master diet, society, behavior, and thoughts. Overcoming the five inner afflictions—ignorance, ego, attachment, aversion, and clinging to life—leads to merging with supreme consciousness. This divine consciousness is formless, indestructible, and present everywhere. The highest goal is to realize this within. "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." "Renounce and enjoy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Heaven is the forest; hell is the city. In the city, constant disturbances and fear dominate existence, a fear rooted in the human psyche despite all material things remaining present. This fear stems from attachment. True joy is found not in acquisition but in sacrifice and renunciation. One must let go of everything attached to the ego. The only path is the renunciation of personal will, which means leaving behind all worldly attachments. This is the gate to the divine kingdom. "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." "Renounce and enjoy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The five inner obstacles, or kleśas, are the fundamental afflictions of individual existence that prevent the highest samādhi. We exist within the exhalation of the supreme reality, a state of perceived separation and duality. This individual existence gives rise to internal obstacles far more challenging than external ones like illness or noise. Patañjali outlines five such kleśas. The first is avidyā, ignorance, the root cause of all suffering, akin to an eternal sleep. From ignorance arises asmitā, the egoic sense of "I am" as a separate self, which fears its own dissolution. Next is rāga, attachment—to family, possessions, and identity—which stretches endlessly and binds us. Then comes dveṣa, aversion or hatred, born from duality and comparison. The fifth is abhiniveśa, the deep-seated fear of death and clinging to life, the ambition for perpetual existence. These afflictions are like seeds within our consciousness. The spiritual journey involves overcoming these kleśas to realize non-duality, where the individual self merges back into the universal source, like leaves returning to a single seed. "Where duality is, there is ignorance; where non-duality is, there is knowledge." "Avidyā, asmitā, rāga, dveṣa, and abhiniveśa. These are the kleśas which finally that yogī has to fight or overcome." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The final seed is the ego's fear of its own dissolution at the threshold of union with the Absolute. One approaches the door of Brahman established in samādhi, ready to become one. Yet when the door opens, the individual self asks how it will live inside and is told it will not be there, for only Brahman exists. The ego, clinging to its separate existence and creations, often chooses to turn back, unable to endure the loss of "I." This movement between the seeded and seedless states is the fundamental struggle. The fear of being taken by God reveals our inner contradiction; we profess devotion but resist total surrender. Ignorance and the ego-affliction create the false sense of "I am," though in truth one is merely an exhalation of the Supreme. Realizing that only the Supreme exists is the final truth to be attained through spiritual practice, yet our inner distractions and deep-seated fear prevent us from enduring this realization. "You will not be there." "I am yours, but I am good where I am." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Īśvara Praṇidhāna is the surrender and devotion to God that precedes samādhi. God's grace, like rain, falls on all. A lake, a tree, and a saint share the same selfless mission: to give without expectation. True devotion is not about abandoning duties but performing them with God in mind. Practices may grant powers, but only surrender to the Satguru brings liberation. We need God; God does not need us. A story illustrates this: a barber, late for the king because he served saints, found God had performed his duty and healed the king. Another story tells of a girl whose pure, insistent offering made Krishna appear. Surrender means being aware of God's presence in every cell and action. Work with your hands while repeating God's name. Obstacles like doubt and anger will arise, but pure devotion overcomes them. The five afflictions—ignorance, ego, attachment, aversion, and clinging to life—block samādhi and are dispelled by wisdom and grace. Perform your duty as an offering. Do not fight in God's name, for He prohibits killing. Surrender your life force to God. "Gyān Ghaṭale Satguru Āyā, Amṛta Jal Barasā. Gyān Ghaṭale Satguru Āyā, Amṛta Nīra Piyamāna, Bharate Nirbhaya Sāganā." "Guru bina hirde ghor andhakār." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The destiny of the devotee is taken on by God, but one must first be a devotee. This state is Īśvara Praṇidhāna. It is not achieved through ritual offerings or verbal declarations of love. True surrender requires no act of giving anything up. One must simply be present, recognizing that divine presence is within every cell of one's being. All thought, eating, and work should be done in the name of God, with positive intention for universal well-being. The practice is to have work in the hands and God's name on the lips. However, if one chants God's name while concealing malice, divine help will not come. "Ātme kām aur mukme Rām." "For that, God will never come to help." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Today is a divine day of grace, marking a holy incarnation. We celebrate through spiritual practice and understanding. Our journey requires purifying karma over many lives, maintaining faith regardless of outcomes. Selfish wishes are ignored by God for our own good, unlike the positive selfishness of seeking union with the Divine. Spiritual progress demands sahansakti—the power to endure with kindness—and ātmabala, the soul's strength. We live within Brahman yet remain spiritually thirsty. Practice must be continuous, with inner devotion paramount. Patañjali guides us, emphasizing Tīvra Saṁvega: a burning, unwavering desire for realization. The quality and intensity of practice determine progress. Surrender through Īśvara Praṇidhāna is the final remedy, leading to Nirbīja Samādhi. Great beings are lights; they do not proclaim their own greatness. Change yourself through sādhanā, and your world changes. "Whatever happens, you must not lose your confidence or your faith. Then your every wish comes true." "Tīvra Saṁveg means feelings. Unbearable pain... Similarly, there is a fervent feeling of desire for self-realization." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The fulfillment of wishes depends upon the devotee's inner state and the grace of the Guru. The Guru's power can make anything possible. Yet, wishes often remain unfulfilled due to inner conflict, doubt, and a lack of sustained faith. When a wish is granted, the devotee may forget the source of grace. Purification of karma across many lifetimes is required, maintaining unwavering confidence. Selfish wishes are not granted, as divine wisdom knows they are harmful, much like a parent denying ice cream to a sick child. Such wishes lead to negative results and disappointment. Losing faith and acting independently is a choice, but one must not then blame the divine for subsequent outcomes. "Whatever happens, you don’t lose your confidence or your faith. And then your every wish comes true." "God ignores our selfish wishes. And that is the greatness of God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path to samādhi is built upon śraddhā, vīrya, and smṛti. Śraddhā is confidence, devotion, and belief directed toward your practice; it is your essential instrument. Vīrya is the health, strength, and proper functioning of your body and senses, which support and motivate your sādhanā. Smṛti is memory, which can be an obstacle or a vital reminder. Negative memories can destroy your progress like a monkey ruins a garden, so you must delete them. Positive memory, inspired by scripture, constantly reminds you that Brahman is truth and the world is transient. Your senses, like a fox captivated by a coconut's scent, may pull you toward worldly distractions. Māyā, the great cheater of the three guṇas, waits to steal your śraddhā. True prayer requires opening your heart with śraddhā, not empty ritual. Systematic practice with śraddhā, a healthy body, and supportive memory leads to prajñā-pūrvaka samādhi. "Śraddhā means respect. Śraddhā means devotion. Śraddhā means confidence. Śraddhā means love. Śraddhā means belief." "Māyā mahā ṭhagnī ham jānī... the greatest cheater is the māyā."

Śraddhā is the foundational quality for spiritual practice, encompassing respect, devotion, confidence, love, belief, expectation, and hope. It is traditionally directed toward parents, a master, or God. Patañjali advises the practitioner to direct this Śraddhā toward their own practice itself. One must have confidence in the practice as the sole vehicle for achievement, just as one must trust a functional car to drive it. This instruction serves even those who do not hold conventional objects of faith. "Śraddhā means you must have confidence in your practice. That practice alone is your instrument, your vehicle, the very medium of your achievement." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The mind is a garden you cultivate, yet a monkey within can destroy it. Through discipline, you create an inner garden of beautiful thoughts and feelings like love and wisdom. You are the gardener of this space. Conversely, some let their inner world become ruined and thorny. Devotees toil to sow seeds of devotion, creating beauty. But the mind is a monkey that can swiftly ruin everything with one negative thought, destroying peace and confidence. Therefore, devotion and faith are essential. Patañjali teaches that śraddhā—faith, vigor, mindfulness, and samādhi—leads to the wisdom of Self-realization. The practitioner is drawn toward this goal like following the scent of a fruit, guided until it is found. "Yogīs and yatīs, through great practice and discipline, create a garden of bhajan—a garden of spirituality." "Therefore, bhakti, śraddhā (devotion, faith)... 'Śraddhā vīrye smṛti samādhi prajñā pūrvaka itareṣām.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Authentic yoga is a science of body, mind, and soul for realizing oneness with God, not a commercial wellness activity. Many modern practices use the name 'yoga' but lack authenticity, originating from commentaries rather than ancient wisdom. The true author of yoga is Lord Śiva, and its essence is found in authentic scriptures like the Mahāśiva Purāṇa, the works of Śaṅkarācārya and Swami Vivekānanda, the Śiva Saṁhitā, and the Aṣṭāvakra Gītā. These texts provide the logical, scholar-verified foundation for practice. Yoga aims for liberation (jīvanmukti), expanding consciousness and freeing oneself from karmic bonds while in the body, as exemplified by King Janaka. The spiritual journey is internal; the battlefield of the Bhagavad Gītā represents the inner conflict between justice and injustice within oneself. Every step of practice accumulates; no effort is lost, and one may continue across lifetimes. True realization comes from within, guided by authentic tradition, not from external forms or self-proclaimed teachers. "Tantra means expand, and Tantra means liberate: expand your consciousness, expand your experiences, and liberate thyself from these karmic tensions." "Within you is everything. Nothing is outside of you. So realization is also within you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Authentic yoga is found in ancient, vetted scriptures, not modern commercial adaptations. Yoga has become a commercial venture with many invented practices like laughing yoga, which are not in the śāstras. While personal practice is healthy and better than nothing, one should not be fanatical. To continue genuine sādhanā, seek authentic ancient literature. In the past, authentic texts were scarce and rigorously checked by Sanskrit and spiritual scholars for logic and proof. Today, anyone can publish a book, but that does not make it authentic. An authentic book is like a regulation, validated through scholarly examination. The core of yoga is well-being; there is no separate concept of "wellness yoga." The goal is simply to be happy through genuine practice. "An authentic book is like a regulation; it has been checked by many scholars... and it has been proven and explained until it is logical." "Yoga is always well; there is no separate concept of 'wellness.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga in Daily Life brings harmony, happiness, and health. The purpose of this gathering is to find harmony, happiness, and good health through yoga practice. First happiness is a healthy body, gained through positive living and a vegetarian diet. Healthy thinking is crucial; thoughts become self-instructions. Negative thoughts create unhappiness; positive thoughts bring happiness. A healthy society is necessary; good company yields good fruits. Second happiness is material comfort. Third happiness is a partner with mutual understanding. Fourth happiness is a good neighbor. With healthy food, balanced diet, healthy thinking, and healthy society, happiness and health are secure. Life's purpose is to do good and achieve God consciousness. Death is mysterious, but destiny follows one's actions. Doing good brings good; doing bad brings bad. Harmony lies within, not outside, and cannot be obtained through tablets. The harmony tablet is mutual understanding, kindness, helpfulness, and positive thinking—utilize it. Yoga is the most ancient science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul, meaning balance, harmony, unity. A 102-year-old yoga practitioner's master said, "You have yoga. Use it or lose it." "Our thoughts can kill us; our thoughts can liberate us." "Tons of theory is nothing compared to a gram of practice." Filming location: Blansko, Czech Republic

Health is the foundation of happiness, not external status. A healthy person is the happiest, regardless of circumstance. The most unhappy may be the richest or a beggar. Harmony is internal, not found in tablets. It comes from mutual understanding, kindness, and positive thinking. These qualities are already within you; you must use them. "The happiest person is a healthy one; it does not matter if he or she is in prison, a beggar, or the richest." "The tablets for harmony are within us: mutual understanding, kindness, helpfulness, positive thinking, and so on." Filming location: Blansko, Czech Republic

The three bodies—physical, subtle, and causal—contain our existence. Master the physical body without torturing it; some sustain themselves on specific roots and flowers for contentment. The yogi's sacred fireplace, or dhūni, offers protection and healing ash. A steady body in meditation allows the breath to become subtle and slow, reducing the need for oxygen and nourishment. This steadiness is the instrument for realizing supreme consciousness. Purify the entire personality—physical, astral, mental, and causal—to calm mental disturbances. Meditation and mantra are the keys; the mantra guides and returns consciousness to the body. All worldly attainments are temporary; only the realization of the Self is permanent. Prepare the body, for without it, no realization is possible here. "Your body does not need more oxygen. It just takes what it needs." "Meditation is the key to everywhere, to everything. And mantra. If you do not repeat your mantra, you will be lost." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Our ailment is seeing mistakes in others, not accepting our own. We fight and blame, like spouses over a lost key. Not accepting mistakes creates guilt, which breeds fear. Fear creates anger as protection, and anger creates discrepancy. Accepting mistakes frees one from guilt. Purifying the entire personality—physical, astral, mental, causal—calms the brain. This brings a profound joy, Ānanda, greater than the deep rest after exhausting travel. Entering meditation's kingdom brings a thousand times more joy. Meditation and mantra are the key. "Those who accept their mistakes will be free from the feeling of guiltiness. When guiltiness is there, fear is there." "A thousand times more feelings of joy and happiness come if you can enter into the kingdom of meditation." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Devotion is the key to accelerating spiritual growth toward Samprajñāta Samādhi after sense control through yoga. Patañjali describes three aspects: grahya—outer disturbances no longer irritate the senses. Graṇa—the act of noticing reaches the Antaḥkaraṇa. The Antaḥkaraṇa (mind, intellect, consciousness, ego) must be purified and steadied. Gṛhīta—the intellect realizes oneness, experiencing happiness. This is Samprajñāta Samādhi, where seeds remain. Continuous abhyāsa without break is essential; otherwise one falls back. Saṁskāras collected by the indriyas remain and must be purified. Ego is the bundle of saṁskāras; life is led accordingly. Penetrating the mind surfaces vāsanās; unpurified, they cause damage. Develop śraddhā, viśvāsa—confidence and devotion. When Satguru appears in the ātmā, immense joy arises. “Kālī” means bud; the body’s tissues rejoice. First accept devotion externally, then it transforms inward. Without devotion, sādhanā is lost. Many practitioners mistakenly think they need nothing more; this is the first obstacle. One must constantly observe inner feelings. When knowledge appears, Ātmā Anubhūti begins—a reflection that the ātmā is near. Cultivate good saṁskāras, ignore the negative. Tomorrow discusses videha and yogī bhraṣṭa. “Suno Sajan Satguru Gharaya Aaya Kali Kali Harshavat He.” “Vīraṁ pratyayābhyāsa pūrva saṁskāra śeṣo yaḥ.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Guru's grace is the supreme power guiding spiritual life. The recent celebration honored the divine incarnation and the Guru's birthday. Disciples gathered in a preserved forest, accessible to all, to share in this divine love and mercy. Physical presence is valued, but connection transcends location through webcast and shared intention. The Guru's work continues the lineage, and every disciple's effort supports this mission. The Guru Principle is not the physical body but the eternal, all-pervading consciousness—pure, unchanging, and beyond duality. It is the source of supreme bliss and wisdom. Through faith and adherence to the Guru's word, the seemingly impossible becomes possible. The Guru's promise is to lead all to self-realization. "Whatever you wish in your mind, by the grace of Gurudev, nothing is impossible." "The Gurudev is called the supreme bliss, meaning supreme happiness... His consciousness is like this clear sky today." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Guru's grace makes the impossible possible. Physical gathering is preferable, but mental unity through devotion also connects us. The Guru's will transcends ordinary limitations, as seen when weather defies forecasts. The Guru principle is not a person but a divine, conscious reality beyond duality and the three gunas. It is supreme bliss and pure knowledge, its awareness vast and impartial like a clear sky. Even divine incarnations like Rama and Krishna followed their Gurus. We must guard our intellect from doubt and jealousy to progress spiritually, aspiring to the Guru's state of unattached consciousness. "Nothing is impossible for Mahāprabhujī. Nothing is impossible for God to do." "Brahmanandam Paramasukhadam Kevalam Jnanamurtim... His consciousness is like this clear sky today." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Today is the day of divine incarnation, celebrating Lord Kṛṣṇa's birth. Before creation, there is only the light of consciousness, Jyoti Svarūpa, which is Śiva. From this unified consciousness, the three guṇas manifest as Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśa. A divine manifestation appears without parents, while an incarnation, like Kṛṣṇa, takes birth through a mother and father. The Śakti, or mother principle, is essential for this. God incarnates whenever devotees suffer and righteousness declines, to restore balance. There are two types: Nitya Avatāra, the ever-present saints who guide humanity, and Nimitta Avatāra, the great incarnations for a specific purpose. Every living being contains the divine Jyoti, the light of life seen in the eyes. Do not create hierarchy among divine forms; all are expressions of the one truth. Our task is to purify our perception and align our thoughts with this truth through practice, moving from individual consciousness to universal awareness. "Whenever my bhaktas, who says the universal God... are going to be troubled by asurī śaktis, negative energies, then, O Arjuna, I manifest; I incarnate time to time." "That jyoti is the flame of our life... That is a Jyoti, Śiva Svarūpa Jyoti, and when that Jyoti is gone, you also cannot see anything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The celestial celebration marks divine incarnation. Observing the sky reveals falling stars and lightnings as signs of a great incarnation's arrival. Incarnation differs from manifestation. Manifestation is the initial emergence from cosmic consciousness as pure light, without mother or father, like Sadāśiva. Incarnation involves embodiment through a mother and father, requiring the Śakti principle. The mother is equally essential, having prepared over ages through spiritual practice. Anatomical duality of form does not exist in divine reality. What is born will die, a law of nature. God incarnates whenever devotees of universal truth are troubled by negative forces. "Whenever my bhaktas... are going to be troubled by āsurī śaktis, negative energies, then Arjuna, I manifest, I incarnate from time to time." "First is the manifestation, and it is the manifestation of the cosmic consciousness that begins all creation." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path of yoga requires mastering the mind by overcoming attachment, which is the root of bondage. The restless mind, governed by the senses, is agitated by mamatā, or attachment. This attachment gives rise to the dual forces of rāga and dveṣa—attraction and aversion—which disturb our peace. We are like a hunted animal, pursued by these forces and the burning desires of āśā and tṛṣṇā. The solution is not to run away from life's problems, which are the fires of spiritual testing, but to cultivate true vairāgya, or dispassion. This is not cowardice but conscious control. We must become the observer, the draṣṭā, maintaining alert awareness over our thoughts and senses like a skilled driver. Through this practice, we calm the citta vṛtti, the mind's modifications. Meditation, aided by a mantra, helps settle these thoughts. Pure vairāgya leads to higher consciousness, recognizing the eternal reality beyond change. "Man marā na mamatā marī. Your mind is not under control because you are mamatā. Mamata means attachment." "Ahiṃsā paramo dharma—the highest principle, the highest religion, the highest spirituality, the highest thought is ahiṃsā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Vairāgya is not running away from life's duties and challenges. Systematic development of vairāgya is required, but it is not escapism. The true hero never flees. Some seek sannyāsa to escape personal troubles like a difficult marriage or unemployment, but they quickly learn ashram life demands hard work, not being served. Without giving, one does not receive divine aid. For many lives, karma yoga is necessary. Expecting service or spiritual powers leads to failure; any power gained through expectation will be misused and become a distraction. There is nowhere in the universe to hide. Abandoning the body is not an escape; your memories, thoughts, and feelings persist. Suicide is a grave mistake, leading to prolonged suffering without reprieve from the cosmic law. Problems are the world's best school; a life without them is boring and leads to seeking trouble. Three inherent fires—ādhibhautika, ādhidaivika, ādhyātmika—constantly test the soul. Therefore, gratitude is expressed. "Without giving, I will not give God's aid." "Problems are the best school in the world." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The householder's spiritual path is fulfilled through duty, family, and inner discipline. Running from family life is not the answer. Your primary dharma is to educate your children well; failing this means failing your spiritual path. This duty requires self-mastery, as children reflect your inner state. Modern society has lost ethical education and family cohesion, as governments prioritize power over wisdom. True strength is found not in becoming a superpower, but in aligning with divine will. Cultivate health, inner confidence, and contentment. Do not constantly change paths. Purify your intentions when bringing children into the world, seeing them as successors to your spiritual work. Ultimately, hand responsibilities to them and retire inward. Maintain a home altar and dedicate all actions as worship. Your spiritual success is measured by your children's spiritual footing. Work step by step without force. "The first happiness is a healthy body." "Your life is a ceremony to you. My life is worship for you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The spiritual path requires steady practice to overcome fragile detachment. Our vairāgya, or dispassion, is easily broken by temptations, attachments, or disappointments. Like a rope gently cutting stone through constant motion, only long-term, determined practice can wear down our ignorance, ego, and negative tendencies. We are like children learning to walk, falling and rising repeatedly. Various experiences—seeing spiritual powers, facing family conflicts, aging, or witnessing death—can spark temporary detachment, but these are fragile. A single distraction can extinguish this dispassion like a weak flame. True progress demands unwavering practice to build a solid foundation of faith, beyond the pull of worldly attachments. "Similarly, our Vairāgya is so gentle, so fragile." "Therefore, dīrgha kālena tarth, abhyāsa, through this long time practice, dṛḍhabhūmi, make your ground solid." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path begins with mastering thoughts and cultivating vairāgya, a detachment easily misled by temptation. One vairāgya arises from hearing sacred revelations of reality's beauty and miraculous powers, inspiring a desire to achieve such states, like levitation. Between 1970 and 1980, a commercial course promised flying yogis for a high fee, though the technique was merely sitting on a spring mattress. If a master today demonstrated real levitation, even long-term faithful disciples would be tempted to abandon their current practice overnight. This temptation is the most dangerous obstacle for a yogi. Among the many illusions, or māyā, attachment to family is a primary one, naturally pulling one backward, like a farmer who left heaven for his tobacco pipe. Māyā translates as ignorance, temptation, or a fleeting reflection—like Śiva appearing then vanishing. It is akin to a mirage, where hot air creates the illusion of water on the road, a disappointment that can shatter one's vairāgya. "One māyā is attachment to your children, to your family. It's natural, but still it is attachment; it pulls you back." "And this temptation is the most dangerous thing for a yogī." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
