Purify The Karmic Layers
1:15 - 2:08 (53 min)
Recorded on
The human journey is governed by karma and destiny. Every soul that enters a human body has achieved this through destiny, which is the product of past actions. Karma is of two kinds: positive and negative. Positive karma purifies the negative layers of prāṇa that surround the soul. This is a sustainable system that functions automatically; divine oversight is not required for its operation. The fruits of heaven are not permanent, as one returns to earth when one's merit is exhausted, like using credit on a SIM card. The ultimate aim is to realize the Self and attain liberation, ending the cycle of rebirth. While animals may have a rudimentary sense of right and wrong, their karmas are not accounted for as human karmas are. Humans have the freedom to act but not to choose the results of those actions. Spiritual development requires purifying the karmic layers obscuring consciousness, much like cleaning a lens. A true disciple is a receptive vessel, a supatra. Our current world, with its crises, calls for a return to simplicity, learning from nature, and mastering fundamental skills like agriculture. "God gave us freedom to do the karma. But he didn't give us the freedom to harvest the fruits of the karma." "Never say, 'I know.' There are certain things we don't know, unless you are a Brahmajñānī."

A discourse on the divine origin and essence of the Vedas. "The Vedas mark the beginning, the dawn of human civilization on this planet. The divine knowledge received at that time to advance human civilization is called the Vedas." "Ekam Sad Viprā Bahudā Vadanti... The Truth is one, God is one... But wise people... describe God in different ways according to their opinion and knowledge." A speaker addresses an assembly at the Om Ashram, offering salutations to the guru lineage. He expounds on the Vedas as divine knowledge given for all humanity, explaining their four divisions—Ṛgveda, Yajurveda, Sāmaveda, and Atharvaveda—and their core teachings on oneness, truth, devotion, and humanity's purpose to protect and enhance the world. He emphasizes that the paramparā's bhajans distill this Vedic essence for practical devotion. Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Mastery requires disciplined training, perfection, and practice before one can teach. Everything, from engineering to medicine, follows this sequence. In yoga, mere physical postures are insufficient; one must master the inner world—desires, likes, and dislikes—across the five kośas: the bodies of nourishment, energy, mind, knowledge, and bliss. This inner engineering demands a guide. Without a master, perfection is impossible, as the ten senses—like wild horses—require the mind and intellect to control them. True yoga leads to self-realization through dedicated practice and lineage guidance, not commercial pursuit. Advanced practice may involve secluded, arduous journeys to sacred places like the Himalayas, where natural barriers and specific herbs aid deep meditation. Ultimately, all sincere paths converge. "After training comes perfection. After perfection, you practice. Then you can teach others." "Koti upāya kare koī chāhe—you can try thousands of techniques. Na bhavasindhu tere—but you cannot cross that ocean by the strength of your arms." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Keep balance while you are practicing

Yoga is a lifelong science for body, mind, and soul, not merely physical exercise. It is a system for all ages and cultures, designed for daily practice to reduce stress and bring peace. The practice includes postures, breath control, relaxation, and meditation, all harmonized. It is not a short course or a commercial commodity, but a serious, accessible discipline for one's entire life. The goal is health, harmony, and spiritual realization through steady devotion, not temporary or superficial love. Practice must be balanced and age-appropriate to avoid injury. The heart and breath are vital; caring for them brings a beautiful life. True spirituality is inner devotion, aligning one's consciousness with the divine. "Yoga is a science, an ancient science, the oldest one—a science of body, mind, consciousness, and the soul." "The aim of yoga is to attain that self-realization." Filming location: London, UK
Give Up Your Ego!
4:55 - 5:52 (57 min)
Recorded on
The essence of the Guru-disciple relationship is the foundation of spiritual life. Holy Bharat is the land of Sanātana Dharma, the eternal law of the universe and the human incarnation. The divine manifests through saints, the Nityāvatāra. A story illustrates the necessity of humility. A man questioned Ṛṣi Nārada about his mother's constant travel to ashrams. Nārada explained she was bringing the Mahāprasād from alms, food made divine by a sādhu's touch. This practice destroys ego. Nārada later doubted his mother's motives. His mother, perceiving his confusion, taught him to approach saints without the ego of position, wealth, or education. Each step toward a saint with humility is equal to countless holy sacrifices. Nārada then visited Bhagavān Viṣṇu, who declared there is no difference between Himself and His saints; to doubt a saint is to invite spiritual downfall. Lakṣmījī affirmed she is the servant of saints, residing wherever they walk. To test devotion, Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī incarnated as competing sādhus. A wealthy man, dazzled by Lakṣmī's display of gold, callously evicted the Viṣṇu-sādhu. This revealed the man was a devotee of wealth, not God. The Guru does not need service to his person. His true service is to impart wisdom and devotion for the benefit of all creation. A disciple must maintain discipline and humility, never considering themselves the guru. The Guru is the creator, protector, and liberator—the very embodiment of Parabrahma. Liberation is rooted solely in the Guru's grace. "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt Parambrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." "Mantra-mūlaṁ gurur vākyaṁ, Mokṣa-mūlaṁ gurur kṛpāḥ." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. In reality, yoga is one but it has many branches and names.

Explanation and demonstration of one kind of Bhramari pranayama.
Remember the beauty of the world
8:55 - 9:28 (33 min)
Recorded on
The tree is a mirror for the self, teaching concentration, visualization, and our interconnected life. Observe your surroundings consciously, then close your eyes and visualize them. This tests your concentration. A tree, with its roots in earth and branches in air, is like the body and spine, from the Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra. The brain is nourished from the sky, guiding action like in Kriyā. You are not a single soul in one body; millions of other beings, like healthy bacteria, live within you, supporting your life. Remember beautiful experiences, like a tree in snow under a full moon, and forget unpleasant ones. These good memories become tools for meditation. When you cannot concentrate, recall a beautiful vision. Your life experiences are the technique to develop meditation. "This tree is like our self. It’s alive in the tree." "In our body, it’s not only one soul... You are not lonely; you are not alone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Go further and you will reach knowledge of the Self. Compassion will come into your heart and will remain there. In that way, life will be happy and healthy.

Sources of happiness
15:15 - 16:37 (82 min)
Recorded on
Health is the foundational wealth for happiness, achieved through the balance of yoga and Āyurveda. Health is the first wealth; without it, everything is nothing. Yoga and Āyurveda are two wings for balance: yoga harmonizes astral energy and emotions, while Āyurveda maintains physical health. The primary happiness is a healthy body. The second is having sufficient resources to feed one's family and guests, avoiding greed, which is insatiable like a beggar's bottomless pot made from the human mind. The third happiness is harmony and mutual understanding between husband and wife. The fourth is obedient children. The fifth is good neighbors and social harmony. Worry is a destructive termite that erodes health. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life, focusing on nourishment and natural remedies. Desires, especially of the tongue, are enemies to control. The soul is like a queen bee; when it departs, the bodily systems follow. Simple Āyurvedic techniques, like gentle touch or using a feather, can alleviate issues. Purification practices like Śaṅkhaprakṣālana should align with seasonal changes. True well-being comes from natural living, not excessive consumption or artificial means. "Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health." "The first wealth is good health." Filming location: Raumati Beach, New Zealand
The Role of Yoga and Meditation in Improving Quality of Life for Cancer Patients
17:00 - 18:07 (67 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a body-mind practice studied as an adjunct to allopathic cancer treatment. Research shows it can improve stress, anxiety, depression, and quality of life for patients. However, data on improving physical function or sleep is less clear. Crucially, yoga is not a cure for cancer. Giving false hope that yoga, prāṇāyāma, or herbs alone can cure cancer is harmful and delays effective treatment, often until the disease is advanced. The ethical principle for all healers is to first do no harm and work for the welfare of all. A proper lifestyle with balanced diet, conduct, and thought is foundational for health. For younger patients, who are more prevalent in some societies, yogic intervention may offer particular benefit by improving well-being and potentially aiding tolerance to therapy. More robust, standardized, large-scale studies are needed. "Please do not give false hope that cancer will be cured." "ever engaged in the welfare of all... We should at no time do any harm."

Awakening of muladhar
19:15 - 19:57 (42 min)
Recorded on
Chakras are energy centers where consciousness resides, defining character and problems. Your destiny (prārabdha) is created by past karma before your body forms. You control your present karma through action, speech, thought, and influence, but once acted upon, deeds become destiny governing future life and all current problems. The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root foundation of consciousness based on that karma. It is the earth element, colored red for energy and Mother Consciousness. Its awakening brings safety, wisdom, and pleasurable energy, not physical sensations. The chakra's symbols include a four-petaled lotus representing the four ways life enters the world, an elephant symbolizing wisdom and prosperity, an inverted triangle for energy flow, and a coiled snake representing past, present, and future karmas—the dormant Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Śiva (consciousness) and Śakti (nature) seek union here. Exercises like Bhujaṅgāsana and Śalabhāsana activate this chakra, strengthening the back and influencing the root center for physical and mental balance. "As long as you are not doing anything, it is still under your control." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means wisdom. You become very wise, you become self-confident."
