The essence of all mantras is the Guru's word. This instruction is the foundation for spiritual development and liberation. The Master's directive, whether a command or a prohibition, is the operative mantra for the disciple. All genuine scriptures convey this same essential teaching. Yet, scriptures also warn of deceitful influences that cause suffering, akin to destructive forces within sacred narratives. Therefore, one is instructed to seek the company of truth. Service to the Guru is proclaimed as supremely valuable. Ultimately, liberation is rooted solely in the Guru's grace. "Maṁtra mūlaṁ guruvākyaṁ." "Mokṣamūlaṁ guru-kṛpā."

The neem tree is a divine gift for health and purity, supporting sustainable development and water projects. We harvest its leaves in a pollution-free zone, drying them in the shade to preserve their essence. The powder protects against viruses and builds immunity when a small amount is consumed daily. For external use, water soaked with neem leaves cleanses the skin and hair beautifully. It can be applied directly to wounds to aid healing. Neem purifies the blood, aids oral health, and can help regulate sugar levels, though its effect on blood pressure varies individually. It disinfects the body and home, serving as a natural cleaner. A paste made from the powder makes an excellent skin mask. Using neem supports holistic well-being and environmental projects. "Consuming a quarter teaspoon of neem leaf powder daily protects against viruses and seasonal flu." "For a wound that does not heal, apply neem powder directly to see its miraculous effect."

To master spiritual texts, one must dedicate their life to studying the original Sanskrit. Translations are insufficient, as they lose the original essence. I offer a twelve-year program of study for this purpose. This requires a total life commitment, interrupting all other activities and relationships. Such dedication is rare. If you make this decision, you will become a great messenger of wisdom and light for the world. Financial support can be arranged. Half-knowledge is dangerous; only complete dedication suffices. "Translation always loses some original quality; it becomes second-hand." "Half-knowledge is dangerous; half-knowledge is dangerous." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Guru Pūrṇimā is a day of profound spiritual connection. Fortunate are those united with the Master, while those who merely fear or forget the day are unfortunate. The guru principle is immortal and supreme. On this day, rise early, bathe, and listen to the Guru Gītā. Perform worship and prayer, partake of blessed food, and practice mantras. Maintain positive speech and thought. In the evening, cleanse again, prepare a meal as an offering, and attend or organize a gathering. If not possible, listen to devotional songs, read sacred texts, and meditate. We will be together in spirit. "Fortunate are those who can be with the Master on this day." "The guru-tattva is immortal, the highest, and that is sanātana." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Eggs are not considered suitable for a pure, spiritual diet. They are not vegetarian or a milk product, but a life form possessing tamas guṇa, the quality of inertia and impurity. What spoils quickly is considered impure, and eggs spoil even faster than fish. Consuming them affects one's consciousness; it is said eating one egg can disrupt proper meditation for ten days. Ethically, modern egg production causes suffering. Hens are confined, forced to overproduce eggs through chemical means. For a hen, an egg is a potential embryo. This industrial process violates ethical principles of non-harm and purity. "I have heard that Paramahaṁsa Yogānanda... said if you eat one egg, you cannot meditate properly for ten days." "For a hen, the egg is an embryo, and to force a hen to produce so many eggs... is contrary to ethical principles." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

A master's hasty astral journey reveals the interdependence of teacher and disciple. A siddha hears a devotee's prayer from a sinking ship. He urgently projects his astral body to help but exits incorrectly. He cannot re-enter his physical body because he forgot his exit point. His disciple astral projects to guide him back. The master then names the disciple Nābhājī. This Nābhājī later authored the Bhaktamālā, chronicling saints' lives. These saints possessed nothing but a practice blanket. The narrative notes India's past sanctity due to its many saints. The relationship is emphasized: a master may forget, but the disciple must remember the teaching. "Gurudev, if you cannot save me from this ocean, then how will you save me from the ocean of Māyā?" "The Master may forget, but the disciple must not forget." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The greatest gift is sharing spiritual knowledge, for it preserves wisdom beyond one's own life. Yoga in Daily Life is a complete, global spiritual system, not merely physical practices. Teaching it channels spiritual energy drawn from our lineages, ultimately from Mahāprabhujī. When you impart this knowledge with conscious awareness and mantra, you become an instrument for that divine light and love to flow through you to others. Knowledge must be used and shared; if kept stagnant, it is forgotten, but when given freely, it is continually renewed. "If you do not give your knowledge, this knowledge will disappear with your death." "Like a water wheel: as much water you take out, always comes the new." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Yoga is the universal principle of balance, the uniting force between all things, from consciousness to matter. Without this balance, suffering arises. The word itself derives from "yoke," the device that balances two oxen. All cosmic elements exist in this equilibrium, which produces harmony. For humanity, balance means shared understanding, ending conflict. Intellect disrupts balance; practice creates harmony. Harmony yields unity, and unity yields power. This same principle of balance, harmony, and union must apply to the human being—integrating body, mind, emotion, and intellect. Yoga is not a narrow subject but a uniting power present in every atom. "Yoga means the balancing principle." "Where there is unity, there is power. Where there is duality, there is no power."

The power of a firm spiritual resolution is essential for achievement. A saṅkalpa is a deep, long-term commitment, not a fleeting thought. Its strength determines success, as seen in arduous physical journeys requiring immense will. This same principle applies to the spiritual path; many begin but lack the unwavering certainty to continue. True devotion is not merely about outward practice but about a state of profound, natural belief and being sure. Do not approach the divine with intellectual conditions or challenges, a tendency often observed. Setting such barriers creates obstacles. One must accept outcomes with equanimity, remaining happy regardless. The key is to surrender this conditional mindset. "First, you must be sure." "If it will be, it will be; if not, it will not be. In both conditions, remain happy." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Wisdom is transmitted through the master's spoken word, Śruti, and the disciple's memory, Smṛti. Authenticity requires the consensus of many disciples, empowered by the master's blessing. Without this grace, knowledge dries out, attacked by doubts and negative thoughts. To receive blessing, one must be a pure vessel, free from jealousy and anger. Purity attracts grace as a butterfly is drawn to real flowers. Ancient oral traditions were later preserved in writings spanning millennia. In the current age, external reality remains unchanged; only human attitudes have shifted, causing suffering. Seek truth, not material opinions. Constant motivation requires positive association and universal love, not criticism. Spirituality is for the selected, not the elected. Teaching is a divine duty of transmitting spiritual light, requiring complete personal purification. "Many yugas passed while reading many books, but no one became wise. Wise is the one who reads two and a half letters, which are called love." "Gurudeva binā kara jana yā sare. Gurudeva binākāra koṭi upayakāre." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A teacher of completeness is one who gives knowledge onward, for a well does not drink its own water. To teach selfishly ensures failure, as the knowledge will disappear. Therefore, develop discipline with your knowledge and do not search for mistakes in others. The mistake is in you. Generations inevitably fail to understand each other; those who are older must learn to give the key to their treasure to the young before they are declared ready for the old-age home. The threshold of being considered old decreases rapidly, yet the young possess greater enduring capacity and power. They have learned much and must be brought forward to become teachers themselves, giving the knowledge onward under the guidance of experienced instructors, all living in harmony under one umbrella. "The well does not drink its own water—it gives it onward." "Do not search for mistakes in others. The mistake is in you." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Life is ever-changing. An ancient banyan tree mourned the loss of its last leaf, feeling alone and fearing its accumulated wisdom would be lost. A gardener pruned its ill parts, promising renewal. The tree initially felt ugly from the cuts. By spring, it was covered in healthy new leaves, feeling rich and beautiful again. The gardener noted its great age. Similarly, some feel sad when people leave a gathering. These departures are like ill leaves falling in their right time. What remains, you must sometimes cut out yourself. Be thyself. Then others will notice the change and wonder at its cause. "My life is hopeless. There is only disappointment. Everything has separated from me." "I thank you. I am so blessed. I have my best friends back again." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

The ten jewels of the Maṇipūra chakra represent the mastery of the ten senses. The mantra "Maṇi Padme Hum" honors the jewel-like qualities of the Buddha's lotus feet. These ten jewels correspond to the ten petals of the Maṇipūra chakra, which governs the ten indriyas, or senses. The five senses of perception and the five senses of action are like ten horses pulling the coach of the body. If uncontrolled, they destroy it; if mastered, they preserve it. The senses of perception gather information and can succumb to temptation. The senses of action are our capacities for speech, movement, and reproduction. Their control is essential. Their root is in the Maṇipūra, visualized with ten golden-yellow petals. This color, Pitāmbara, represents the purifying fire element and is associated with Viṣṇu. "If these ten horses are under control, the coach remains in good condition. If these ten horses run wild, the coach will very soon be destroyed." "This is the color of the fire element; this is the color of purification." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Human consciousness is a divine garden. You are the bee gathering nectar from its blossoms, which bloom through devotion. Without this inner love, life withers into loneliness and despair. Seeking happiness from others' love is futile, as it inevitably turns to pain. Causing another's tears incurs a severe karmic debt: one tear repaid with a thousand. Therefore, cultivate your inner garden. Abiding there brings eternal happiness and divine intoxication. This state is bhakti: devotion, friendliness, freedom, and forgiveness. To forgive another is to first forgive yourself. To show mercy is to first be merciful to yourself. "If you think the love of others will make you happy, forget it." "If you forgive someone, first you have forgiven yourself." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

The grammar of practice is harder than the theory. There are two kinds. The first is physical and meditative practice, which is easy. The second is working with your own mind and desires, which is very hard. The hardest thing is to say no to yourself. To control the senses is the first control. Without controlling anger, jealousy, and greed, your practice has no effect. If you do not control thoughts and senses, you have not progressed spiritually from birth. Yoga is mastering yourself. Do not look for mistakes in others; look for them in yourself. Remember many are better than you, and many are less happy. All true masters expect from you this same inner work, which is the real practice. "God finds the mistakes in others; you find the mistakes in yourself." "The hardest thing is to say no to oneself. And that is yoga. Master yourself." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The journey into the Maṇipūra chakra marks a significant spiritual crossing. The individual consciousness, distinct from the Ātmā within, is composed of karmic layers. Through practice and grace, consciousness rises to enter this center, whose name means "city of jewels." Our physical manifestation began here, at the navel connecting to the mother. The conditions of conception—the parents' state and the celestial constellation—imprint upon the psyche and this chakra. All life experiences are felt here, generating heat, cold, or fear that reflects to the heart. Every being is special, carried on the waves of its unique destiny. Attaining a human body is a precious opportunity for divine transformation. "Maṇi is the jewel, padam is the lotus feet of the master, and hūṃ means 'bow down.'" "The first day when we entered into the mother's body, that was our real birthday." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

A master demonstrates conscious departure to teach overcoming the fear of death. About eighty years ago, a master announced his departure, measured his grave, and sat within it. His grieving disciple pleaded not to be left alone. The master invited the disciple to sit with him. They chanted together and departed. We become nervous knowing we will leave the body; we must first overcome that fear. Another master lived 135 years and announced his departure date one year prior. No one believed the healthy man. One week before, he called all devotees to bless them. He specified the exact morning time. He gave final blessings and departed in meditation while chanting. He possessed great spiritual powers, knowing past lives and answering unasked questions. You should read his life story. Many here also have this divine tendency, but we ignore it due to circumstance and lose the memory, though it awakens us again from time to time. "Master, Master, wait a moment. My dear Master, what will I do without you here?" "Tomorrow morning, early, one hour before sunrise, during the Brahma Muhūrta, I will depart." Filming location: Perth, Australia

The ten senses are the five senses of knowledge and the five senses of action. These are the only keys to record information into the computer of the mind. The senses operate independently; only the mouth can taste salt in water. This illustrates that salt changes its form but not its quality. Similarly, we change our bodily form at death, entering an astral body while our soul quality remains. We are not one with God because we lack the divine quality. Self-realized souls purify their consciousness to develop cosmic qualities and merge into oneness. Others travel through the universe, fluttering on waves of emotion, which is the cause of suffering. Eventually, God may direct us back to a body to do better. Intellect distances us from God; theory cannot change reality. "These are the only five keys to record anything in your computer, and that computer is located here." "Salt changes the form but not the quality." Filming location: Perth, Australia

Learning to cook is fundamental to understanding life, health, and self-care. You should cook for yourself to know what you eat. Begin your day with prayer, yoga, and meditation, then prepare your breakfast. When others cook, you do not know what goes into your food. A mother cooks with the most love, then a wife, though a husband cannot cook with the same depth. If a wife is upset, her emotions can enter the food, so one should cook while chanting or singing. Eating fresh, homemade food nourishes your body, mind, and spirit. Eat consciously with thankfulness. Human greed causes diseases like bird flu and suffering in factory farming. Animals feel pain; taking a life is a great sin. Non-violence is the highest principle. Do not be a slave to taste. Vegetarianism is an ethical, health, and environmental imperative. The torture in animal transport is horrific; if you consume, you support this. As a human with intellect, you can choose compassion. Learn to cook fresh food with love. If you do nothing else, promote vegetarianism to alleviate suffering. "Therefore it is said, ahiṃsā paramo dharma—non-violence is the highest principle."

Yoga is the divine power of manifestation and the light of illuminating consciousness. Śrī Kṛṣṇa reveals that even His own incarnation is made possible through yoga śakti, the unifying power that harmonizes elements to form a body. This same yoga was given to the sun, meaning its radiant light is the light of wisdom, not physical postures. When Arjuna feared dying before completing his practice, he was assured the accrued spiritual benefit travels within the astral body. This ensures rebirth in a human form with spiritually inclined parents, allowing the awakening to continue naturally from childhood. "It is that very yoga which I give to you, Arjuna, and which I gave to the sun long ago." "The benefit of this enlightenment... will accompany you in your astral body. You will undoubtedly obtain another human life, with spiritually inclined parents." Filming location: Melbourne, Australia

The twenty-four siddhis, or yogic perfections, are ancient spiritual powers now mirrored by modern technology. Telepathy is realized through the telephone, and the siddhi of flight is achieved by aeroplane. Ancient texts like the Rāmāyaṇa describe advanced vehicles, suggesting prior scientific knowledge. Modern science, however, brings both benefits like connectivity and drawbacks like pollution. Yoga was once seen only for renunciates but is now essential for everyone in society to manage stress. All conceptions of God are valid, being creations of the mind. Life is a cycle of 8.4 million creatures, all subject to death, but humans can seek liberation to break this cycle. From the beginning, positive and negative forces have been in conflict across all elements, a concept reflected in modern military divisions. The ancient idea of reincarnation finds a modern parallel in the concept of recycling. "Thus, telepathy has turned into the telephone." "Therefore, the science that humans have brought forth and what humans are doing has two sides: good and bad." Filming location: Melbourne, Australia

The first sheath of being is the physical body, composed of the five elements and sustained by diet, drink, and company. As the food, so the mind; as the drink, so the speech; as the company, so the habits. To maintain health, one must manage four principles: diet, recreation, behavior, and thought. Good, limited food and positive thinking are essential but difficult, as the greatest challenge is self-denial. The physical body's presence defines your world, and the human intellect is the most powerful tool for health and happiness. This is the food sheath. Next is the energy sheath, which is not oxygen but the radiance of our physical energy. "Jaisā khāyegā ann, vaisā rahegā man: As the food you eat, so will be your mind." "Yes, I am lonely since you are here. Before, I was one with myself." Filming location: Melbourne, Australia

The chakras represent a journey of consciousness through the mind. The mind pendulates between consciousness at the crown and the intellect, or buddhi, at the eyebrow center. All information enters through the five senses. These impressions are consciously recorded in a fresh present moment before descending into the subconscious. The subconscious seat is associated with the throat, linked to the astral body that separates during dreams. This raises the question of what is real. Neither dream nor waking life is ultimate reality; the constant reality is the Self, the 'now' present in both states. Practicing Kundalini yoga requires systematic guidance and self-control to avoid misguided sensations. A real awakening is beautiful, happy, and self-controlled, not fearful. Begin by observing three transitions: from wakefulness to sleep, the astral separation in dreaming, and the instantaneous return to the body upon waking. Understand your consciousness first. "Through these jñāna-indriyas, whatever information we gather from the external world—through sound, smell, taste, color, or touch—we are conscious of it at that moment." "Awakening is something beautiful, happy, self-controlled, the most beautiful thing that happens in your life. That is a real Kuṇḍalinī awakening." Filming location: Melbourne, Australia

The true self is unborn and beyond the illusion of life and death. You are not the temporary identity you speak of; you are, in reality, one with the divine. This perceived separation is an illusion born of ignorance. The Ātmā, your true self, is indestructible like space; it cannot be cut, burned, or killed. It is immortal, pure consciousness. From this consciousness, a divine will expressed itself as the primordial sound, Oṁ. This sound is the creative vibration from which all universes manifest. You originally existed within this as a joyful, divine being. Traveling on the waves of time, individual qualities emerged and coalesced into a soul, causing you to forget your original, unified state. This forgetting is the pollution of ignorance. The entire play of creation is not a mistake. By realizing your true self, you transcend fear and see the body as a temporary burden, returning to your original, happy nature.

The Primacy of the Mother and the Principle of Yoga The entire space is one without a second, a fullness. This creates a harmony like that between a mother and child. The first God is the mother. Between space and consciousness is a balancing principle that holds them together, called Yoga. Where there is balance, there is harmony and unity. Within cosmic consciousness, desire arises and leads to trouble. Even God is in trouble. If He came to resolve it, we would crucify Him. The Father did not anticipate His children would become like this. Today, children tell parents it is their mistake and their right to take everything. We have failed to educate them. Children need love and wisdom, not money or toys. Children are the culture of tomorrow. Your children run out at night because they cannot find happiness at home. Outside, they are like lost children. "Mātṛdevo bhava—the first is the mother; the first God is the mother." "Yoga means union." Filming location: Adelaide, Australia

Easter focuses global spiritual energy on divine contemplation. The one formless God manifests through various messengers and incarnations according to planetary need, with all beings as God's children. Duality and discrimination must be removed to realize the unchanging reality; theory is useless without practice. Human attitude, not the world, has changed, creating misery through actions against nature, destroying both external and inner environments. While God's mercy extends to all creatures, human intellect misused makes humanity the most destructive. The message is to live simply, love all, and be the change for peace, repeating the divine name as the practice for liberation. "Eko brahma dvitīya nāsti: there is one reality, and where there is two, it is not reality." "Mother Earth has enough for everyone's need, but not for their greed."

An āshram is a divine shelter for spiritual work and service. Vedic tradition outlines four life stages: Brahmachārī for student life until 25, Gṛhastha for household duties until 50, Vānaprastha for detachment and preparation until 75, and Sannyāsa for complete renunciation until 100. After 100 years, one departs this world. Human life is for self-realization alone; all possessions are left behind at death. The greatest tragedy is to die without God-realization. Practice, not theory, is essential. "Āshram means shelter. 'Ā' means welcome and 'śram' means work. It is an invitation: come and work." "Human life is given for only one thing: Ātma-jñāna. To urge the Ātma-jñāna—self-realization, the knowledge of the Self." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

The divine mission of saints and the universal message of the Vedas guide us. We often fail to recognize holy saints during their lifetime, only realizing their nature after they depart. All beings are children of God, not just humans, and causing pain to any creature is a grave injustice. The highest principle is non-violence, ahiṃsā; violence can be committed through thought, word, or deed, and such acts are sin. Heaven and hell exist here on Earth. The Vedas are a divine message, not man-made, given at creation and later written down. Knowledge was originally transmitted orally, but human memory and discipline have severely declined, partly due to becoming slaves to technology. The essence of the Vedas is the Upaniṣad, the dialogue between master and disciple. Self-realization begins by seeing yourself in every creature. Before any action, know its form and consequences so your discernment can decide. The universe is endless with countless suns. A yogi aims to become one with the entire universe. Humans are created as protectors, not destroyers. The Vedas and the trinity of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva are within you; you are the creator. "Ahiṃsā paramo dharma—the highest principle is non-violence." "The first step of self-realization is that when you see thyself in every creature." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

Happiness resides in the human heart. It is a universal principle within us, not outside. The true self, the ātmā, is indestructible and within every creature. Reality is unchanging, while the body, mind, and even the individual soul are changing and not the ultimate reality. The individual soul is created by karma and possesses the three guṇas, but the ātmā is universal and divine. God is love, which is happiness, and every being seeks this. Therefore, seeing oneself in all creatures is the first step of self-realization. Harming another is harming yourself, as all life is interconnected. This understanding is a direct path to awakening the universal love within our own hearts. Our consciousness and its qualities continue beyond the physical body. "That ātmā is within you and within every creature." "Thou shalt not kill. It does not say you should not kill only humans." Filming location: Gold Coast, Australia

Śraddhā and titikṣā are the essential pillars of faith and endurance. Śraddhā is confidence in yourself, your abilities, and in God. Without it, you cannot act or progress. Titikṣā is the power to endure hardship without complaint, to awaken your inner reserve energy to persevere and achieve your aim. This is like a runner pushing past exhaustion to find a second wind, or a car tapping into a reserve fuel tank. These qualities require you to be strict with yourself and maintain faith. A story illustrates this. Two turtles lived in a lake. The husband had spiritual faith, while the wife was skeptical. One day, a man dressed like a holy man appeared. The husband insisted they go see him, expressing his faith that it was a divine opportunity. The wife reluctantly agreed. The man, however, was a hunter who captured them and placed them in a pot of boiling water to cook. In the crisis, the wife despaired, but the husband maintained his faith and urged endurance, believing God would save them. A sudden storm extinguished the fire and caused a flood, which carried them safely back to the lake, fulfilling the husband's faith. "Without śraddhā, you cannot do anything. If you have no self-confidence, you cannot stand up." "Titikṣā means awakening the inner energy, extra energy, to wake up. And that one can achieve the aim." Filming location: Australia

Vedānta is the highest essence of Vedic knowledge. The Veda is the complete science of the universe, containing all knowledge. It instructs a life in harmony with cosmic law. Ancient seers, the Ṛṣis, lived by this principle. They transmitted this science verbally long before written texts. Vedic culture means following natural law; deviation brings suffering through unhappiness and illness. This culture originated along the Sarasvatī River and spread. It encompasses profound sciences: Āyurveda, the knowledge that every plant has use; Samudra Śāstra, the science of reading destiny from lines on the palm or foot; and astrology, the third eye of the divine. These require deep, spiritual study. The culture includes sixteen life initiations and daily practices like Svara Yoga, using breath flow to determine auspicious actions. The core teaching is self-knowledge: you are not the body or mind, but the immortal divine. This culture is a universal law for all. "Nothing, till today, is discovered by any scientist which is not written in the Vedas." "The last essence of the Vedānta is, in one word I can tell you, that you are the immortal one."

The master's promise is that no disciple is ever abandoned, even through the deepest falls. One meets a master, practices, then abandons it all, committing sins and descending into lower lives. The master follows everywhere. When the disciple became a reptile, the master entered a reptile body to meet him. The being finally became a small bee trapped inside a closing lotus flower at evening. Before dawn, the master sent holy angels, who bring flowers to God each morning. He instructed them to bring that specific lotus. They brought the closed flower before God. As its petals opened, God saw the small creature inside. He took it into his palm, expressing joy at seeing His dear child. Upon God's touch, the bee was enlightened. Its form dematerialized as a light entering the heart of God.

Yoga honors the body through gentle, non-strenuous movement. Strenuous activity like running consumes excessive energy and causes harm. Gentle cycling or walking without sweating is advised. Dynamic yoga practices use and return energy equally, so they must be brief and followed by sustained postures. Stretching is beneficial but has limits; never force the body. Natural flexibility varies, and modern lifestyles affect aging. Gentle asanas systematically influence breath, circulation, and all bodily systems, creating wellness. The body is delicate and must be handled with utmost care and tenderness. Loving oneself leads to consciousness and love for others, which is loving God. Yoga has no competition; everyone should be a winner. Practice must be slow, systematic, and gradual over years to safely allow positive development. "Treat your body with great tenderness."

The profound bond with a true master, a Trikal Darśī, enables divine grace that transcends worldly limitations. Such masters can reveal past lives and even restore life long after clinical death, an act beyond human understanding. This power flows through love within the guru-disciple relationship. I once recalled my own master's soul through deep love, though I do not know how. Later, he lingered until I, with a heart of iron, gave permission for his final departure, as he had requested. This illustrates that intellectual reality differs from spiritual truth. Just as light instantly dispels eons of darkness, the guru's blessing instantly destroys all past karma. Upon receiving his mantra, you are liberated. You need do nothing but be in his consciousness. The repeated name is a ferry across the ocean of existence; have confidence and you will reach the other shore. "as soon as Gurudev blesses us, the darkness is gone." "The name of the Gurudev is a boat, a very big ferry, a ship. Those who sit in it will cross the ocean and reach the mainland, the other shore." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

Shared purpose is a divine blessing. Spiritual energy pervades all creation. From cosmic completeness, completeness arises. This gathering embodies a beautiful energy of holistic well-being. Yoga is the balancing principle uniting individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. Every master and practitioner has a unique path, yet the destination is unity. The human form, endowed with intellect, is meant to achieve this aim. Imbalance is illness; yoga recreates harmony in body, mind, and spirit. True health encompasses the physical, mental, social, and spiritual. A balanced individual fosters a better world. Yoga is a universal principle of union, not owned by any religion or nation. It is the future, uniting humanity beyond all divisions. "Yoga means the union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness." "The copyright of yoga belongs to Lord Śiva. And Śiva is a God for all." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

The greatest joy is opening the inner eye of the blind through true teaching. Teaching the right path brings happiness to both guide and student. This means opening the Āgyā Chakra, the eye of knowledge that burns away darkness. Share your wisdom and love, especially with children who need guidance, not toys. However, never share negative thoughts, as that deepens darkness for all. The aim is to inspire. The real tragedy is dying without self-realization, so do not hesitate—lose your individual karma and unite with the cosmic Self. Satsaṅg is a blessing where you receive treasure to give forward. Awaken the dormant, divine love and compassion within you, for this union with all beings brings the highest happiness. This unfoldment only happens in satsaṅg if you are open to receive. Purify your heart through surrender to become an instrument of divine light. "Your children do not need your toys; your children need your love."

The heart overflows with love or pain, manifesting as tears. In this age, few love God truly, as most seek money and position. Yet God never disappoints; He loves. God, who never truly sleeps, tends a garden, loving every plant. A bamboo in the corner feels unloved and flawed, pleading to remain in the garden despite its emptiness and knots of ego. God explains He must cause it pain to serve a higher purpose: first, to craft a flute whose music will open human hearts, and later, to use its trunk as a channel to bring water to a parched land. The bamboo consents, asking only for God's continued love. This illustrates that where there is pure heart and love, there is no real pain, jealousy, or fear. Yoga is this union of hearts; when brains engage, conflict arises. The immortal self resides in the heart, perpetually connected to the divine through an indescribable love. "Everyone can disappoint us, but be sure God will never disappoint you. He loves." "Where there is a heart, there is no disappointment. There is no pain, and there is no doubt."

The distinction between Haṭha and Rāja Yoga is often misunderstood. Haṭha Yoga traditionally consists of six purificatory kriyās for cleansing body and mind. Many believe they practice Haṭha Yoga through postures and breath, but these are actually the third and fourth limbs of Rāja Yoga. Correct knowledge is needed to practice accurately. Āsana and Prāṇāyāma in Haṭha Yoga aim for good health, which is a foundation. The deeper purpose of yoga leads to self-realization and philosophy. For this journey, a true master is essential—a brahmaniṣṭha śrotriya, one established in supreme knowledge who can inspire. Such a realized teacher is rare, distinct from those driven by desire. A true master's presence is not confined to a physical body, as they are connected to all. "Please correct when you practice Rāja Yoga, Āsanas, Prāṇāyāmas, relaxation, concentration, and meditation. It means you are doing Rāja Yoga and not Haṭha Yoga." "A Gurū is completely satisfied. He is one with all." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

Three layers cover our consciousness: impurity, restlessness, and ignorance. The first layer is impurity in thought and action. The second is restlessness from worldly problems, which agitate the mind like waves on water. To calm this, meditation and mantra are essential. The best meditation is to sit, close your eyes, relax, and repeat your mantra; other techniques merely direct restless thoughts. The third layer is the thick curtain of ignorance. The first step to purify all three is positive thinking, as negative thinking poisons the self. Overcome restlessness through meditation. Overcome ignorance by studying holy scriptures and attending gatherings about truth. "Meditation without a mantra is a body without a soul." "Negative thinking means poisoning oneself, and positive thinking means enlightening oneself." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

Yoga is the principle of union, and religion is the realization of relation. Both concern our essential connection. We are all essence of the cosmic Self. Yoga is not merely exercise; it is the oldest unifying principle, the Śakti that balances space and consciousness, the cosmos and the individual. Achieving this balance is harmony, and harmony is union—the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. This principle is as old as the universe. To realize this union, one follows sādhanā: prayer, meditation, mantras, and ethical conduct like kindness and non-harm. These principles were articulated by yogis. Any religion incorporating belief, kindness, service, and prayer is therefore a part of yoga. Yoga is not part of any single religion; all religions with these tenets are part of yoga. Practicing yoga aids spiritual progress within or from one's religious path. "Yoga is that Śakti or principle which unites two forces: space and consciousness, the cosmos and consciousness." "Yoga is not a part of any religion, but all religions are a part of yoga." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

Satsaṅg is the highest key to self-realization. Those who are disciples of a Gurū are holy, and to join them is a great blessing. Do not go for the people; go for the Gurudev and for God. If you think others do not like you, it is because you think that way; your own mind creates your loneliness or happiness. For God-realization, you must have God in your mind. To think you are self-realized and do not need satsaṅg is foolish. Without satsaṅg, I die. Satsaṅg is divine love; if you miss it, you miss a dose. If alone, do your practices and use technology to make satsaṅg at home. "Satgurū satsaṅgyārī olo āve re." "If you have God in your mind, you are all the time with God."

Support one another in cooperation, not competition. In small towns, maintain one center to prevent jealousy. In large cities, centers may exist in different districts. If a student's schedule does not align with your class, refer them to another center offering the same instruction. Commercial interest is not inherently wrong; money is a tool for establishing more ashrams. The essential practice is for teachers to freely refer students to one another. Do not try to keep people only for yourself; give them freedom. This approach serves the interest of yoga and the deathless life. Maintain the quality, philosophy, and spirituality. Uphold your own condition to be worthy of giving the light. Do not count people, but count the quality. "Money itself is not wrong. What is wrong is how we utilize it." "Do not count the people, but count the quality." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

When God resides in your consciousness, your speech and writing are kind. Those with God within never speak harshly, while those with the devil express jealousy and anger. A moody person is poor; do not shift your mood. Be kind, humble, and a good helper. Giving love is yoga in daily life. Teachers who show individual care, like asking "How are you?", attract many. A young waiter hated a certain president at a gathering. Before taking a drink, the president smiled, touched his shoulder, and asked kindly if he was tired, calling him a good, strong man. For months, the waiter spoke only of this president's kindness, contrasting it with his own president's arrogance, who ignored him holding a heavy tray. This shows you can change anyone for the better through kindness. Everyone needs love, for life is love. Maintain the world with love and attention. Success lies in discipline and kindness. When you are kind, God speaks through you, and you are happy. Open a small window of your heart to others, and you will receive a millionfold in return. "Life is love. Where there is no love, there is no life." "Open a little window of your heart toward others, and you will receive a millionfold in return." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Illness arises from both modern systemic causes and karmic destiny, requiring acceptance and a dual approach to healing. Modern diseases like cancer are increasingly common, affecting even those with healthy habits. This is due to the entire modern system, including pollution, pesticides, and stress, which diminish our immunity. It is also the karma of being born in this age. Therefore, one must accept illness and seek treatment. Do not deny modern medical science, such as chemotherapy or operations, which can save lives. Simultaneously, turn to nature for prevention and healing. Seek healthy food, water, and air. Incorporate specific natural remedies and consider dietary shifts. Ultimately, you must become your own doctor through conscious living. "Your healthy way of life has protected you and given you a long life." "Prevention is better than treatment."

Illness is a signal that your way of life must change. Your willpower is essential. In an emergency, follow a doctor's prescribed treatment, such as chemotherapy, to survive. Alcohol is a dangerous drug causing immense outer and inner damage; do not be addicted. Support your body by consuming fresh juices and raw foods. Ultimately, we must all die; the problem is not death but how to die. We pray not to suffer, yet the body will one day become a burden we cannot escape. The solution is to accept it. "It is a signal from the higher planets—a sign from the higher realms—that your way of life must change." "The problem is how to die. We pray that we will not suffer." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The community extends its welcome to distant members who have traveled for connection. We are joined by companions from a distant place who also gather regularly. Upon learning that travel to their region would not occur this year, they have journeyed here for a brief visit. Among them is a foundational supporter of that distant community. This individual is recognized as one of its strongest pillars. She will now offer a devotional song for the assembly. "Among them is one of the strong pillars of our Washington Āshram, indeed one of its strongest pillars: Jaya Devī." "She will now sing one bhajan for us." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

A mantra is a lifelong spiritual commitment, not a temporary practice. It forges an unbreakable spiritual union between Master and disciple, distinct from any physical bond. This initiation is for your entire future, guiding you on both the physical and astral planes. Adopting a vegetarian life is suggested to support this path. The Master is strict after giving the mantra, emphasizing the seriousness of this permanent bond. "Physically, you can get divorced. But how are you going to get divorced on the astral plane?" "I am strict not before giving a mantra, but after giving it." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Yoga is a scientific system with one aim: union with the Universal Self. This union is obstructed by internal foes like ego and doubt. We struggle to accept others, so accepting God is a greater challenge. Meeting God is not an easy task, and we lack a clear picture of the divine. True happiness is found in the guru's shelter, as the sought-after Brahman is realized through him. The aim is to become one with the cosmic Self, which is unbounded and omnipresent. Yoga in daily life provides this path; it is a gentle, divine practice, not a physical competition. It is the essence of teachings from masters worldwide, sustained by universal principles, not by any single person. "Milta hai sacca sukha keval gurudev tumāre śaraṇome." "I am the way to God."

A story illustrates the destructive nature of jealousy. I was instructed to recount a story from 1966. It concerns a jealous man fixated on his neighbor. He performed intense prayer for wealth. God granted him a magical coin that would fulfill any wish, but with a condition: his neighbor would always receive double. Enraged by this, the man abandoned the coin and left to earn money through hard labor. His desperate family later used the coin, receiving abundant food and goods, with the neighbor receiving double. Upon learning of this, the jealous man returned home furious. He then used the coin to wish himself harm—losing a limb, an eye—so his neighbor would suffer doubly. He ultimately destroyed everything, becoming a beggar. This shows how jealousy ruins oneself and others. True spirituality is simply to be good, merciful, and kind. "if you ask this coin for one million dollars, it will give you immediately. But at the same time, your neighbor will get two million." "He threw these funds into the water well and went for begging. He became a beggar." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
