The beauty of life is found in its natural state, not in artificial enhancements. Nature displays a beautiful spectrum of color and age. Fashion and chemical products like makeup stem from desire, which hinders higher consciousness. These items are expensive, full of chemicals, and create dependency while damaging the skin. Yoga practice regenerates the body, improves circulation, and supports glands and organs. Natural oils like sesame or olive oil are healthy for the skin, unlike blocking creams. Our diet is crucial; natural foods are needed as the body will produce what it lacks. Avoid excessive meat, linked to cancer, and processed foods. Dedicate time daily to yoga and prāṇāyāma for health, happiness, and true beauty that comes from within. "Fashion kills people... As long as you have desire, you cannot proceed towards higher consciousness." "Yoga regenerates our body, the cells, our skin. It is great support for our gland systems, organs, and blood circulation." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The three fires are the fundamental problems of existence: physical and mental illness, worldly conflict, natural calamities, and astral or karmic disturbances. Ancient seers researched how to gain protection from these afflictions, which also shield one from planetary and societal influences. All beings, like a mobile tree, are subject to these universal forces. There are mantras to cultivate positive divine power, though negative power is realized more easily. Engaging with negative energies binds one to suffering, while aligning with the positive ultimately leads to unity. Ancestral prayers, a universal science reflected in many traditions, are necessary to prevent interference and liberate souls for new birth. Similarly, foundational ceremonies for new endeavors align energies for harmony. For spiritual practice, mantras act as a navigator, guiding through obstacles and past mistakes. The peace mantra from the Upanishads is a foundational tool. It seeks guidance from unreality to reality, from ignorance to light, and from mortality to immortality. The aim is to realize the immortal Self, beyond the changing body and world. This path faces external obstacles like negative company and internal ones like anger and ego. Mantra clears these barriers. Life is like a dream from which one awakens to a different reality. A realized being, a Trikāla Darśī, perceives past, present, and future, knowing how to avoid pitfalls. Ultimately, one surrenders to the divine will, though a self-realized master can alter destiny. Meditation requires mantra as its animating soul. Concentrating on inner sound through Nāda Yoga leads from bodily sounds to the sound of the Self. This requires immense discipline and saying 'no' to endless desires. Active meditation, performed with love in any work, purifies the outer life, which in turn supports inner, passive meditation.

The path of prāṇa is the inner churning to reach the nectar within. Prāṇāyāma consists of inhalation, exhalation, and retention; these three occur naturally in everyone. Specific breath techniques produce distinct effects on body, mind, emotion, intellect, and consciousness. The myth of ocean churning is a metaphor: the ocean is existence and consciousness. The spinal column is the mountain; kuṇḍalinī is the snake. Negative and positive qualities are the asuras and devas within, fighting through overthinking. This churning produces nectar, which is immortality located in the Bindu Cakra. Āyurveda originated from this churning, brought by Dhanvantari, an incarnation of Viṣṇu. Viṣṇu later appeared as Mohinī to distribute the nectar, using illusion to give true nectar to devas and a deceptive drink to asuras. One asura sneaked true nectar, was cut in two, and became Rāhu and Ketu. Rāhu vowed to disrupt auspicious events, so propitiation is necessary at gatherings. The nectar is within every being. Through Kriyā, balance is achieved in cakras and prāṇa. Prāṇa leads to Brahmaloka, which is pure energy. Killing or suicide brings bad karma and suffering. The divine is found within through unconditional surrender and devotion. Inner churning awakens good qualities and leads to liberation. “O my friend, what you are searching for outside, you are me. I am within you. My hut is outside the city, but my dwelling is in your breath.” “If you search for me, I will meet you at once; in a single second you will see me.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The practice focuses on Vajranāḍī, Sarvahitāsana, and Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma. Lie on your stomach and relax. Sit back on your heels with hands on thighs. The Vajranāḍī is a nerve channel. Vajra means powerful like iron. It is located between the big toe and second toe. Vajranāḍī is the body's power source. It resembles a tree with unseen roots. Sitting on the heels, raise them to bring energy to the brain. Place hands on the temples and bite gently. This posture relieves headaches. Sarvahitāsana means good for all nerves and muscles. Practice it daily to refresh circulation and vitality. Simple yoga until life's end makes death easy and happy. For Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma, inhale deeply. Place fingers lightly in the ears. Bite teeth evenly with lips closed. Produce a humming sound, not "viśva." Practice three to five times only. Do it in the morning, midday, and evening. It balances the inner self. "Vajra means like iron—very powerful, very strong. That Vajranāḍī is the power of our whole body." "Sarva hita: hita means good for all. The whole body, everything—muscles, nāḍīs."
