Practicing led by Vishwaguruji

6:00 - 6:39|Recorded on 25 Jul 2023
A relaxing movement practice for the body. Lie down with legs straight and together, hands straight back. Remain relaxed and do not adjust clothing. Bring both legs straight up, then down, keeping the body still. Place palms under shoulders, bend elbows, and raise the trunk before lowering again. Raise both arms and legs together while inhaling deeply. Interlock the thumbs and hold the feet behind the back, then rock forward and back. Practice stillness and maintain straight legs. Conclude by sitting up normally and relaxing. "Relax. Be very relaxed." "Inhale very deeply and stay as long as you can." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Questions and answers from Debrecen

6:45 - 7:25 | From: 11 Jun 2017
A yogic path integrates self-sufficient living with disciplined practice. Begin a farm with both greenhouse and organic garden crops, developing it from a hobby into a community offering yoga retreats. The first spiritual step is dietary control: consume limited, home-prepared meals without sweets or junk food. Fast for four to five hours between meals, consuming only water. This discipline eliminates most bodily difficulties, strengthens immunity, and supports meditation, which requires a mantra. Prāṇāyāma cleanses physical diseases, and satsaṅg with virtuous friends is essential. Avoid all intoxicants, as they embody destructive energies. Prefer local, seasonal, organic produce; soy is nutritious only if organic. Raw milk is healthful, but regulations sometimes adulterate it. True practice requires organizing life around these principles. "Meditation without a mantra is a body without a soul." "Prāṇāyāma will tell them, 'Get out of this body! What are you doing here?'"

The Five Sheaths and the Path of the Disciple

7:30 - 8:24 | From: 29 Jun 2018
The human being is composed of five sheaths, progressing from the gross to the subtle. The first is the physical Annamaya Kośa, nourished by food. Next is the Prāṇamaya Kośa, the sheath of vital energy. Then comes the Manomaya Kośa, the mental sheath. The fourth is the Vijñānamaya Kośa, the sheath of knowledge and discernment. The final sheath is the Ānandamaya Kośa, the sheath of bliss. All illness and karma originate in the bliss sheath and descend through the others to manifest in the physical body. A spiritual master seeks a capable disciple to impart his essence. Disciples are of three types: supreme, middling, and inferior. One must either participate in creation through marriage and family or attain Brahmajñāna, liberating knowledge. To linger without fulfilling either purpose is to remain stuck. Spiritual practice involves purifying action, speech, and thought across all five sheaths. The accumulated impressions from these layers form one's destiny. A true disciple ensures the master's spiritual legacy continues, just as a child continues a family line. "Every creature born with a physical body must participate in creation." "All illness begins from the Ānandamaya Kośa, coming from above. It descends step by step to finally attack the physical body." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Sanskrit names are important

8:30 - 9:12 | From: 18 Aug 2017
Āsana is a term with deep meaning in the yogic system, which is connected to the Sanskrit language. The word signifies a seat, a dwelling place, or a posture. One's yoga mat is a yoga āsana. The place one sleeps is an āsana. The specific postures, like Bhujaṅgāsana, are also called āsana. The term's meaning depends entirely on context. Yoga is a vast science greater than allopathic medicine, and its proper terminology carries inherent knowledge. Similarly, prāṇāyāma fundamentally consists of inhalation, retention, and exhalation. The Sanskrit alphabet resonates with the body's energy centers, and the language balances the mind. True communication begins with the heart's touch. "Wherever you sit, that is your āsana." "Prāṇāyāma is only three: pūraka (inhalation), kumbhaka (retention), and recaka (exhalation)." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Only God can make You rich

9:20 - 10:04 | From: 1 Mar 2006
A story illustrates the destructive nature of jealousy. While walking, I thought of you. A master once instructed me to recount a tale from 1966. It concerns a jealous man fixated on his prosperous neighbor. He performed austerities, and a divine voice offered a boon: a magical object granting any wish. However, a condition was attached: whatever he received, his neighbor would receive double. Consumed by envy, the man rejected the object, choosing instead to labor in poverty for fifteen years to avoid benefiting his rival. His desperate family later used the object, receiving food and riches, which the neighbor also received doubled. Upon returning, the man's jealousy erupted. He used the object to curse himself with mutilation, knowing his neighbor would suffer doubly, and finally destroyed the object, becoming a beggar. This shows how jealousy ruins oneself and others. Spiritual practice is meaningless without cultivating goodness, mercy, and kindness. "God said, 'If you ask this kuṇḍ for one million dollars, he will give you immediately. But at the same time, your neighbor will get two million.'" "He used the object to curse himself... and finally destroyed the object, becoming a beggar." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 251

Around the World - A Journey of Remembrance and Reverence

17:00 - 17:07 | From 10 Jan 2026
I recently traveled to pay respects at the samādhi of a revered female ascetic. She was the first female Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara in our tradition, renowned for memorizing sacred texts from a very young age and receiving a title for it. She had a large spiritual family of disciples managing various ashrams. We shared a good connection from past meetings at gatherings and when she visited our Guru. Upon learning of her passing, I journeyed through the night to attend the funeral procession in Ahmedabad, which culminated in her burial at a chosen site outside the city alongside other senior ascetics. It was a full 24-hour journey of remembrance. "She was the first female Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara in our Akhāṛā." "Her wish was to have her samādhi in Hargośālā." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Around the World - The Guru's Light: On Pāṭotsava, Āhāra Śuddhi, and the Essence of Gurukul

17:15 - 18:02 | From 7 Feb 2026
The second Pāṭotsava of the Twelve Jyotir Liṅgeśvara Mahādeva is celebrated. Āhāra śuddhi leads to sattva śuddhi. Pure food makes the body pure. Pure body enhances memory. When mind, intellect, and environment become pure, the divine manifests within. Awaken the feeling of Vasudhaiva Kuṭumbakam. Arise, awake, and walk on the path. Om Āśram is the eighth wonder of the world. It was established two years ago. Many people come from abroad. This is the first center where so many children come and listen to Sanātan Dharma. Swāmījī did a miracle. He created a big ashram. He overcame many problems. He gave to the world this amazing Om Āśram. Making a temple is a very difficult task. Making such a big temple is twice as big. The greatest divinity among students is vidyā. Knowledge removes one from the darkness of ignorance. Knowledge leads towards the light of wisdom. There is nothing higher in this world than the guru. There is no tattva greater than the guru. The guru is the highest tattva. Nothing surpasses the guru. Where there is a saint, there is spring. Spring means bliss. Bliss has no opposite word. This is the tapasya of the Guru. Brahmavidyā is not found anywhere else in the world except in India. It is the king of all sciences. It is the secret knowledge imparted by ṛṣis and munis. Omkāra is the essence of the Vedas. That essence is established here for the benefit of the world. Without śraddhā, knowledge cannot be attained. Culture is civilization. It is saṃskāra. If saṃskāra becomes established within the heart, then one is seated at Gurujī's feet. Education is very important. "Āhāra śuddhi leads to sattva śuddhi. Sattva śuddhi means that this body, the physical body, will be as the food we consume." "There is nothing higher in this world than the guru; there is no one above the guru. There is no tattva greater than the guru within life; there is no entity greater than the guru."

Organic farming in Netherlands

From 3 Aug 2023
A farm's journey from industrial production to living in harmony with nature. The operation shifted from unprofitable mass cultivation to a diverse, organic system. This includes greenhouses using rainwater and biological pest controls. A large food forest integrates vegetables, fruit trees, and nitrogen-fixing plants. The focus is on sustainability, natural cycles, and creating a resilient ecosystem. The work is driven by passion and a good feeling, valued more than financial return alone. The aim is to grow healthy food while enhancing the land for the future. "Nature can do a lot. So, if a plant is sick, then it can make itself better." "It is much more important than money: a good feeling, nice to be busy with your passion." Filming location: Netherlands
