The spiritual path requires the support of a family and the transformative grace of the guru. Brotherhood on the path provides essential support during difficult times, offering patience, listening, and welcome without judgment. The path inherently involves friction and difficulty, and these challenges extend to relationships among those practicing together. A commitment to one's spiritual family means being ready to welcome and support them unconditionally. This creates a special atmosphere of unity and care that is profoundly valuable. The guru's role is to dismantle the disciple's ego through a continuous, often repetitive process. This teaching feels like a cycle of inflation and deliberate deflation, breaking down intellectual understanding to force action from the heart alone. The process is exhausting and designed to create mental uncertainty, stripping away the disciple's reliance on logic. Grace operates on multiple levels. The first grace is the gift of a human birth. The second comes from scriptures and life experiences that awaken spiritual seeking. The third is the indispensable grace of the guru. The fourth and crucial grace is one's own grace towards oneself—the discipline to consistently practice the teachings. The guru provides the light of guidance, but without the disciple's practice and discipline, that light only illuminates the impending crash. Therefore, one must wake up and utilize this rare opportunity. "Those brothers and sisters are there to support us when we have a difficult time." "Without that relation to the guru and the guru’s feet, it’s all nothing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Our subject is the Kuṇḍalinī, the chakras, and human life. Happiness is within ourselves. Unhappiness comes from outside, from disappointment, but it also resides within. Like a shadow, death walks beside us always. Unspoken grievances become a poison stored in the body, specifically in the Viśuddhi chakra. A couple suffered for fifty years because she never told him she wanted the hard crust of the bread. Swallowing negative words creates this poison, affecting health. The mythological poison from churning the ocean was drunk and held by Śiva in his throat. Similarly, we must purify our inner poison through communication, forgiveness, and practice. Do not blame others. Speak humbly: say you are sorry and ask for forgiveness. Practice prāṇāyāma, like Ujjāyī, to cleanse this energy. What we eat creates impurities; a vegetarian diet is purer. Swallowed negativity can manifest as illness. Purify your consciousness through sādhanā, prayer, and mantra. Release negativity and proceed on a positive path. "Unhappiness and happiness are within ourselves also. But if we use yoga, then this unhappiness will, all the time, be pushed down." "Viś means poison. Viśuddhi means purification. How to purify this poison of our negative thinking, negative hearing, that all this is unhappiness and everything is within us." Filming location: Garrison, NY, USA

Haṭha Yoga is the yoga of willpower and inner purification, far beyond mere physical postures. It requires great discipline, with the Haṭha Yogī enduring all difficulties without breaking their rules. This willpower manifests in four forms: the persistent insistence of a child, the unwavering determination of a woman, the absolute decree of a king, and the free resolve of a yogī. A true Haṭha Yogī, through intense sādhanā and six purification techniques, purifies the nāḍīs. This process awakens the Suṣumnā, leading to samādhi and great longevity. The modern reduction to āsanas is actually part of Rāja Yoga. The classical science involves uniting the Iḍā and Piṅgalā channels. Such a yogī, renouncing all, is considered even above divine figures, needing nothing, not even blessings. "The Haṭha Yogī endures all kinds of difficulties and never breaks their rules." "He is a tyāgī, one who has renounced everything. He is above even me." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The spiritual journey requires focused effort and inner turning, culminating in grace. A story illustrates this: countless small birds unite to empty an ocean to save lost chicks, their collective effort summoning a great being who secures their return. Our scattered mental tendencies are like those birds; when unified in spiritual purpose, their power is focused. The goal is not external. The divine essence, subtler than the subtle, resides within the heart. One searches the outer world in vain, for what is sought is hidden within. By quieting the mind and senses through discipline, the inner sound is heard. This realization ends all doubt. "The Ātmā, subtler than the subtle, greater than the great is seated in the heart of each living being." "What you’re searching for is already sitting inside yourself."

Practicing of the system "Yoga in Daily Life", Level 3 - Part 2, in Om Vishwa Deep Gurukul Swami Maheshwaranand Ashram, Jadan, Rajasthan, India on 27th of October 2009.

A sacred succession is announced through the Abhiṣeka ceremony. On the holy occasion of a revered master's Mahāsamādhi day, the successor is formally declared according to the sannyāsa tradition. The ceremony follows the Vedic paramparā, performed by appointed priests. It includes a ritual bath for the successor, the chanting of leading mantras, and a physical Abhiṣeka. The successor then performs guru pūjā, receives a shawl, and is officially inaugurated. This establishes the Uttara Adhikārī, who is worshipped within the tradition. The event embodies the continuity of spiritual authority and lineage. "Svāmī Avatāra Purījī will be pronounced as the successor." "According to the sannyāsī tradition, first there will be a ritual bath." Filming location: Khatu, Rajasthan, India

The Supreme is the primordial sound, the resonance that harmonizes the universe. The individual soul is a wave of that resonance, distinct from the universal Ātmā. This soul journeys endlessly through time, experiencing all dualities, accompanied only by its karma. Upon death, no material thing or relation follows; the soul exists in a void where only its own record remains. Every action through body, mind, speech, and resources is recorded with absolute precision by cosmic justice. The human birth is a rare opportunity granted in this mortal world, a workshop to end the soul's wandering. Do not squander it. Be meticulously mindful of your actions, for you alone bear their consequences. The aim is not worldly riches but spiritual wealth—to awaken and dissolve back into the Supreme. "The soul is fluttering on the waves of time. For ages and ages, through darkness and through light, experiencing joy and misery." "Every moment, every second, whatever you speak, whatever you do, whatever you write—everything is by destiny, very quickly." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Unity is essential, especially in difficult times when the intellect tends toward destruction. When all power unites positively, it can transform the age. Humans possess a unique mind for processing information, yet awareness is often missing. True awareness must be present in all actions, from eating to meditation. Service and spiritual practice are incomplete without devotion and feeling. The mind is restless, not the soul. Do not be stuck in the future or past, but be present now. Unity is the thread, like devotion, that holds all together. A single branch breaks, but united we stand strong. Modern life fragments families, eroding love and shared space. To love others, one must first love and accept oneself without blame. The world is one family; all beings contain the divine. Protect righteousness, and it will protect you. Forgiveness is for one's own peace, releasing the inner grudge that consumes. Perform your duty without attachment to the outcome. "When all the power comes together, they have the power to change Kali Yuga to Satya Yuga." "Forgive them. It’s not for them, it’s for us. Because when we forgive them, it gives us that sense of peace." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The light of the saint and the fire of the ego are the two energies within. Holy saints appear in human form, sharing the same culture and appearance, yet their inner experience is of oneness with all creatures. They possess miraculous abilities, or siddhis, used for understanding, not domination. The fire is the energy of anger, jealousy, hate, and greed, which burns and destroys countless beings. The divine rain is the sudden peace and love that follows, quenching that fire. The aim is to realize the inner self, the Ātmā, which is the uncreated light, distinct from the created body and mind. To renounce is not to abandon material life but to relinquish inner longing and the ego's fire. True spirituality is beyond dogma and conflict, seeing the divine light in all paths and creatures. "Sin is the result of causing pain to others, to all creatures: physical, mental, emotional, intellectual, social, political, economic." "Renounce inner longing."

Public lecture with Vishwaguruji from Martin, Slovakia. Yoga means uniting, harmonizing and balancing. Our earth is a living planet, in each and every cell of the body there is an immense amount of energy. The aim of the human life is to achieve liberation. Nourishment, breath, behavior and practicing yoga exercises, are the main points if we would like to be healthy and keep ourselves pure.

Principles from physiotherapy apply to spiritual practice as a disciplined journey of self-observation and transformation. The mind, like a patient in therapy, presents excuses to avoid difficult practice. Listen to these reasons with detached curiosity to learn its workings, then firmly proceed with the necessary work. To change a behavior, first investigate it: ask when, why, and under what conditions it occurs. Modify your environment to support your intended actions, making desired practices the obvious focus. In personal experimentation, change only one factor at a time to clearly observe its effect. Lasting self-knowledge comes from consistent practice and observation over time, noting how different techniques affect the body and mind in various states. This builds a discerning relationship where one can hear the body's genuine messages. "Listen to it in that detached way like a therapist... at the end of that listening, you must still be firm and say, 'Yes, but anyhow, we're still going to do this.'" "Our whole practice, our whole yoga sādhanā, is one very long personal journey, an experiment of transforming ourselves and learning about ourselves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The soul's journey is from separation from the divine source back to union with it. The individual soul, or jīva, originates from the supreme oneness, like a water droplet separating from the ocean through evaporation. This droplet then longs to return. The cycle of the soul mirrors the water cycle: it ascends, travels, and descends back to earth, entering vegetation and bodies. Satsang is the boat to cross the ocean of separation, guided by the Guru or the holy scripture, which embodies the Guru's presence. Constant repetition of the divine name, like "Ram," is a highway to that goal. However, our physical actions create karma. We poison the earth and water with chemicals from soaps, cosmetics, and medicines, which is violence against nature and ourselves. True spirituality requires internal purity and non-violence in all conduct, as everything is counted. Liberation comes from realizing you cannot hide your actions from yourself or the divine. "From the ocean, the jīva is in the water, the soul is in the water." "This drop is called Jīva. And when this drop falls into the ocean, the Jīva becomes the Ātmā." Filming location: London, UK

The interplay of divine will, human attachment, and the quest for immortality is examined through sacred narratives. Actions produce reactions, leading to blessings or curses from divine justice. Attachment, or moha, is a source of suffering, as seen in worldly examples and divine stories. Śiva had immense attachment to Śakti. When she disobeyed his counsel and went to her father's yajña, she perished in the fire. Śiva, in grief, withdrew from the universe with her body. To restore cosmic order, Viṣṇu used his discus to cut her form into pieces, creating the sacred Śakti Pīṭhas. Śakti later incarnated as Pārvatī. The celestial sage Nārada often sows discord, such as prompting Pārvatī to question Śiva's garland of skulls. Śiva explained each skull represents a past incarnation where she died from not following his guidance. Pārvatī demanded the secret of immortality. Reluctant due to potential misuse, Śiva finally agreed to teach her in a secluded cave, imparting the Guru Gītā. During the teaching, Pārvatī fell asleep. A parrot eavesdropped, repeating affirmations. Discovered, the parrot fled and entered the womb of a sage's wife. The unborn being, later born as Śukadeva, initially refused birth until the world was briefly made perfect. He ultimately received the knowledge of immortality from King Janaka. This illustrates the struggle with māyā and the necessity of a true guide for liberation. "Love is the greatest. That love is God, and God is love." "You cannot fight against Brahmā, Viṣṇu, or Śiva unless you have a concrete reason." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The final gathering contemplates fortune, faith, and the inner harvest. Good or bad destiny is created by one's own actions. Attaining divine pleasure requires luck and fortune, which cannot be forced. There are two types of seekers: one who works hard for a spiritual goal and one who works for worldly pleasures based on intellect. Without steadfast devotion, nothing can protect you. Unity is essential; a lack of unity within society and religion leads to unrest. The scriptures recognize no caste discrimination; there is only the human race. A true disciple is tested through faith and action, not mere intellect. One must practice their spiritual resolve to attain fulfillment. Purity arises by removing anger, greed, and ego. Spiritual practice awakens inner power and leads to the goal. This knowledge and the inner harvest come only through the grace of the Guru. "One cannot get the pleasure of good things without luck." "If we all live in unity, then why should there be unrest in our country?" Filming location: Maha Kumbha Mela, India

The mission of human life is to realize our true nature and unite with the divine. Being born human is not merely for eating and sleeping; animals do that. True humanity is defined by qualities like kindness, forgiveness, and protection. We require three educations. First, ethical education from parents and community, which builds trust and relation, vital for a better society. Second, intellectual education from school to develop the mind and learn to help others. Third, spiritual education, parā vidyā, the knowledge of the Self, God, and love. Our actions reflect on our parents and our homeland. We must not be selfish, especially in caring for the elderly, who need care as much as children. Learn to forgive and never be the cause of another's tears. Work is worship; we are born to do good. Everything material is left behind at death. Only the fragrance of our good deeds remains. Therefore, build for your eternal home, not just your temporary one. "Rahiman dhāgā prem kā, mat todo chitkāya, toḍā phir jūḍe nahīṁ, jūḍe gāṁṭ paḍ jāya." (The thread of love, do not break it out of some doubt or anger. Once broken, it cannot be joined again. If joined, there will be a knot.) "Kya leke āye the aur kya leke jāyeṅge? Bandi muthi āyethe."

Evening satsang from Kaliash Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Bhajans on the occasion of Sri Devpuriji Mahasamadhi.

The soul is caught in the mortal body, a condition shared by all creatures, yet humans possess unique knowledge. The fundamental inquiry is into the nature of the Ātmā, which is presumed to be within but remains unseen. Many believe existence ends with the body, while others hold beliefs of heaven, hell, or merging with God. Theory is insufficient; personal experiential practice is essential. The story of the bandit Vālmīki illustrates that even the most burdened soul can be liberated through single-pointed devotion and mantra repetition, transforming into a great sage. The human body is a divine temple, a Garbhagṛha where the soul resides, and must be respected and kept pure. One must persist in practice with devotion and alertness to realize the truth within. "Neither this side nor that side, but it is there. It is there where you are, so you have to experience the practice and see for yourself personally." "In every temple is your statue, but I cannot see your face, my Lord. Oh my Lord, you are living in every heart. But I want to see you." Filming location: Slovakia

The Śiva Liṅga represents the formless, entire universe, which is pure consciousness and energy. It has no birth, death, father, or mother. Performing abhiṣeka is worshipping the whole universe, as everything comes from Śiva, who is the God of the gods. The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya mantra is a Vedic prayer to Śiva for liberation from death. It seeks a liberation like a ripe fruit separating naturally from its plant, without pain or attachment. Everyone must die, but the goal is to die in such a way that one is liberated and does not die again. This liberation comes through sādhanā, mantra, and devotion. Philosophical argument or belief does not help; there is a final truth. In this age, ritual like abhiṣeka is essential. The water used represents life and the body. All of God's creation, like the human body or honey, is a unique miracle to be respected, not destroyed. Spirituality awakens a universal love for all creatures. The essence is to live in harmony with the entire universe. Every action and mantra contains the divine. "Everyone dies, and you will also die, but you should die in such a way that you will not die anymore." "Brahman is the truth, and this whole world is mortal; this is not true."

The essence is the unstruck sound, the Anāhada, realized through devotion beyond form and thought. This is not an experience of the body or mind. It is beyond all attributes, beyond the forms of Rama or any shadow. It is the formless void that holds the supreme form. Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it. It is understood only through the grace of the true Guru. One must surrender at the divine feet, seeking mercy and blessings for liberation. The devotional offering is the path. "Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it." "Please bless me with your blessings, I request you, O Guru." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The compassionate Lord Śiva resides within the heart and bestows liberation. He is the primal Lord whose radiance fills all universes. Taking shelter in him ends pain and brings divine happiness. He cuts the noose of bondage with his own hand and liberates the soul. Worship and meditation upon this blessing cure diseases and remove all obstacles. Success is bestowed in the heart, and one obtains everything without asking. Focus the mind on the Guru in the heart to dispel all sorrow. Through the Guru's grace, all ignorance is destroyed, revealing the true self. One who serves the True Guru never falls into hell, and all fears vanish. Merge the mind in the True Guru. "He Himself respectfully calls out to His devotees." "One who meditates on this blessing, their obstacles and troubles will not remain." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The refuge lies at the divine feet. By taking refuge there, one experiences supreme truth and bliss, becoming free from the cycle of birth and death. The mind finds its steady path. The Vedas and Puranas sing of this refuge. True devotion and knowledge lead to liberation. The divine name itself brings supreme happiness. The true Guru is incomparable.

A musical offering explores devotion through raga and sacred verse. The performance weaves classical composition with devotional poetry. It presents the longing of Meera, who found divine nectar in poison. It shares Kabir's metaphor of the body as a finely woven garment dyed in divine essence. The inquiry asks who truly comes and goes in this world of light and illusion. The teaching asserts that only the true Guru's name endures, while all else is transient. The offering culminates in universal salutations to the divine in all forms. "Rana ne vish diya, mano amrit piya. Mira saagar me sarita samaane lagi." "Santa, kun re āve re, kun jāye bole re? Jaari khabar karo." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
