Worship every God and incarnation
0:25 - 1:40 (75 min)
Recorded on
The Christmas period invites reflection on divine birth and universal worship. Many people now think of Jesus, preparing and finding happiness. His life, though hard, shows a path to seeing God. Worship is an expression of joy. The birth of divine figures like Jesus and Kṛṣṇa involved great maternal suffering, a pain shared by all mothers, including animals. True worship respects this sacredness of life and mother. God resides within the heart, as shown in different traditions. Knowing God requires an inclusive heart that respects all faiths. Criticizing other religions indicates not knowing God. The act of killing animals for ceremony contradicts genuine worship, which must honor the mother in all beings. "If you worship God, then first worship the mother." "Those who said, 'No, only this and that is other, not good,' then it means still you don’t know what is God."

How can we become a good yoga teacher?
1:45 - 3:05 (80 min)
Recorded on
The path of a true teacher requires lifelong practice and mastery, not quick certification. One cannot become a genuine yoga teacher from a short course or a book alone. It demands years of dedicated training under a real guru, similar to the extensive education required for a medical doctor. This is a gradual process of controlling one's own life and nourishment. The practice works by balancing the five sheaths of the body, from the physical to the blissful. Yogic energy is distinct; physical exercise expends energy, while yoga cultivates a balanced, internal source. The mind is like a wild horse that must be patiently tamed with love and persistence over a long period, not forced quickly. Authentic teaching comes from this deep, personal mastery. "In order to become a yoga teacher... there is a further level." "You cannot become a guru in some time. Work, work, slowly, step by step." Filming location: Bari Khatu, Rajasthan, India
Guru is leading us to the enlightenment
3:10 - 4:38 (88 min)
Recorded on
The necessity of a guru is absolute for enlightenment, even for one born with all scriptural knowledge. A disciple must pass the guru's test through unwavering devotion and obedience, surrendering all judgment. True focus is maintaining inner steadiness amidst all external circumstances, whether a festival or a threat. Enlightenment reveals the world as impermanent and only the Self as the ultimate truth. An enlightened being acts with complete detachment, undisturbed by worldly events, while fulfilling necessary duties. Disciples must learn to set aside their mental burdens in the guru's presence to attain that peace. Spiritual practice cultivates this joyful, focused state, unlike intoxicants which offer a false peace that destroys life. "Brahma satya, jagat mithyā." "A person who is enlightened, who knows, and who has true Guru Bhakti does not move and does not go anywhere until the Guru tells him to go." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Dharma and Satsang
4:45 - 5:54 (69 min)
Recorded on
Dharma is one's essential duty. Each person has a specific role. The neighbor's path often seems easier, but shortcuts can lead to longer journeys. A sage repeatedly saved a drowning scorpion, accepting its stings. The sage's dharma was compassion; the scorpion's dharma was to sting. Both were performing their nature. Similarly, persist in your own duty without giving up, regardless of setbacks. Do not envy another's path. The story of Nārada teaches that ego leads to misunderstanding. He sought a form for personal desire and was taught a lesson. Reduce the "I" and learn from mistakes. Do not blame others or God. Follow your own heart with your guru's guidance and give your full dedication. "My dharma as a sannyāsī is compassion to every single living being. So I’m doing my dharma by putting it out of the water... And the scorpion’s dharma is to sting when it feels danger." "When he knows that this is not good for us, but our itch, our wish to have that certain thing is very high, he will still make that wish complete in another way that makes us realize that, okay, this path is not good for me."

Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (9/9)
6:00 - 7:14 (74 min)
Recorded on
A morning sādhana sequence integrates breath, movement, and awareness. Begin by warming the body with gentle stretches and deep breathing. Practice foundational āsanas like Pavanamuktāsana and Marjaryāsana to activate the spine and muscles. Flow through a warming sequence, coordinating each motion with inhalation and exhalation. Perform forward bends and backbends, focusing on alignment and the stretch without pain. Incorporate inverted postures to affect circulation and glands. Conclude with prāṇāyāma to regulate energy and a period of silent observation. The practice strengthens the body, deepens the breath, and calms the mind. "Marjaryāsana is a wonderful morning āsana, stretching your back muscles and activating your spine." "Observe your breath, and feel the effects of the āsanas." Filming location: Umag, Croatia
Mastering the subtle energies
7:20 - 8:01 (41 min)
Recorded on
Yoga is a practical path, not a theory. Survival in this age requires practice, not just philosophy. The current era is governed by material illusion, where excessive pursuit of wealth distracts from true purpose. True richness is devotion, which accompanies the soul eternally. Modern yoga often becomes mere physical exercise, missing its core aim of unifying the individual soul with the divine. Practice must be a systematic science, beginning with the body and advancing like an engineering discipline. Mastery then extends to emotions and thoughts through detachment and renunciation. This inner engineering leads to harmony and ultimate self-knowledge. "The richest one is that one who has nothing but has bhakti—guru bhakti, devotion towards God." "Yoga in daily life is a science of body, mind, and consciousness. Harmony of the body, mind, and soul to come finally to the highest destination." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Who will liberate us?
8:05 - 8:39 (34 min)
Recorded on
The unity of all spiritual paths and the essential grace of the guru are paramount. All teachings and religions are one, as all beings are God's children. We respect all holy books and figures, including Jesus on this Christmas day. The divine essence—whether called Viṣṇu, Śiva, or another name—is singular. We must transcend duality, recognizing our shared humanity and fostering humility and peace. The mind must be controlled through yoga. The guru provides the essential knowledge for liberation, surpassing even parental guidance. Life's attachments, like a spider's web, ultimately trap us. At death, no relative or friend can free the soul; only the Satguru can offer true refuge and lead one beyond the cycle. "Guru Kṛupāhi Kevalaṁ Śiṣyaki Ānanda Maṅgalaṁ. When the Gurudeva is there, the disciple is happy, full of joy." "Without Satgurus, we come there, you are not in that knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Bhakti
8:45 - 9:33 (48 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang from Weekend Seminar in Vep, Hungary. If there is bhakti - devotion - in the heart, practice is succesful and spirituality grows.
Christmas is the festival of Unity
9:40 - 10:35 (55 min)
Recorded on
Christmas reveals the incarnation of love, light, and oneness. Rarely is its true spirit known. Most celebrate without this knowledge, leading to conflict in God's name. True worship respects all religions and incarnations equally, seeing God in everyone. The Hindu tradition exemplifies this by honoring all paths. When we know Jesus as the embodiment of mercy, we cease causing suffering. God is one positive energy known by many names. Our duty is to adore this universal presence. Festivals exist to cultivate love, kindness, and shared understanding, uniting families and communities. Human fear is profound and diminishes our strength. Spiritual faith, an injection of God, counters this fear and maintains peace. Culture is carried by people and brings joy; we must respect all cultures. The real celebration involves praying for the lonely and serving others, surrendering all actions to God to become instruments of light and peace. "To worship that Jesus and that Christmas is real worship. If we do not respect others, then they suffer." "Love unites, and jealousy divides. Love creates harmony, and doubts create fear."

For meditation we need calmness
10:40 - 11:41 (61 min)
Recorded on
True meditation requires deep inner stillness, not mere restlessness disguised as practice. Discipline is essential, yet restlessness persists. The Guru's grace is fundamental for liberation, not divine beings. Stories illustrate this: Ramakrishna was told by the Divine Mother that only his Guru could grant moksha. Similarly, a disciple's purity and surrender are tested, as gossip and negativity spoil devotion like lemon in milk. Meditation demands mastering the three states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. One must journey inward through the body's subtle centers, represented by letters and chakras. Surrender is key, as shown in the allegory of the bamboo willingly cut by God to become a flute and later a channel for the Ganga. The aim is to reach a state of silent, vibrationless awareness. "Mother, give me that liberation." She said, "I cannot give you that moksha which only the Gurudeva can give." "God, I love you, but I am so afraid." God said, "Don't worry, my dear, I love you, but I will chip your whole trunk." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
Taste of the Divine Nectar
12:40 - 13:43 (63 min)
Recorded on
The spiritual path is about tasting true realization, not pursuing powers without discipline. Amāvasyā is powerful for sādhana seeking siddhi, but without discipline, such practices harm like overeating. Our path is sāttvic yoga, ensuring harmony and development without harm. Modern yoga often lacks depth, taught by those with mere certificates, unlike traditional guru-paramparā systems. Self-realization's taste makes worldly pleasures bland. The soul is a traveler, a Bhavrā bee, wandering through births. One must develop discipline to become the purified swan, not the crow. Life is a journey where temptations like ice cream make one miss the train to liberation. Satsaṅg offers the unique taste of divine knowledge, like a rare chocolate. The year ends; reflect on achievements. Maintain a strong saṅkalpa and willpower for self-realization, as everything needed is within. Guṇḍāgiri is the essence, the nectar from the supreme. "Yoga in daily life is a complete system that all of us together design, work with, practice, experience, and pass on." "When you get a taste of self-realization, oh my God, you will be delighted."

I am for everyone
13:50 - 14:48 (58 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing. People didn't meet Vishwaguruji personally for some years but they did their sadhana and they were with him. We love equally any people and any religion. A drop of the ocean is one with the ocean. We should know that we are humans. Kali Yuga is the last but it can turn to Satya Yuga also.
The Viśuddhi Cakra and the Journey of Consciousness
14:55 - 15:41 (46 min)
Recorded on
The Viśuddhi Cakra is a center of energy affecting body, mind, and consciousness. Action and reaction form karma, binding beings in a cycle. Energy centers begin from the earth, a living planet. The highest reality is space, consciousness, and resonance—the one manifesting as all creation. Beings are cells of that universal body. Advanced yogis navigate consciousness through a tunnel-like path along the spinal column, where dormant powers reside. These yogis can access different levels of awareness and worlds. Samādhi is the highest consciousness, with and without seed. Practice requires singular focus to avoid becoming lost. Karma is individual; a story illustrates how devotion can purify past actions. Awakening the chakras' power fulfills wishes. "Ekohaṁ bahuśyāmī. I am only one... I am going to manifest into many, many creatures." "Manvā dhire dhire chal, gagana garā imānvā dhire dhire chāl... Oh my mind, go slowly, slowly towards the home in the sky." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada
We must be in unity
15:45 - 16:39 (54 min)
Recorded on
Yoga practice extends from the body to the absolute reality, requiring purity in all aspects, especially food. Many use animal products in medicines and foods, which is not aligned with pure yoga. This impurity in consumption is linked to the rise of diseases like cancer. True yoga teachers and centers uphold sanātana dharma, teaching pure practices, exercise, and meditation. Some now avoid discussing dietary purity, which is a concerning trend. All authentic teachings from various traditions ultimately converge on the same reality. Ancient Indian knowledge, preserved in scriptures like the Vedas, was vast. This knowledge was systematically destroyed, as at Takṣaśilā university, and later suppressed, leading to its decline. Efforts are now underway to recover this lost wisdom. "To be peaceful means our food must be very clean and very good." "The knowledge in this part of the earth is still very, very big and vast."

Christmas satsang in Strilky
16:45 - 16:55 (10 min)
Recorded on
A Christmas reflection on blessing, non-violence, and divine victory. Blessing is immortal, unchanged across all ages. We gather to contemplate divinity and the removal of negative karma. Many saints have appeared; today we remember Jesus. His birth brings a unity where no one is an enemy. Yet, even near him, negative forces arose—this is Āsurī Śakti, a black power that does not last. Divine glory and truth alone ultimately triumph. Reflect on the example set: to forgive, and to carry mercy. It is not good to kill animals on this day, for he was born among them and they were happy. To receive his blessing and Mary's mercy, give up violence and follow non-violence. Take a vow in his name to give up eating meat and using drugs, so life may become harmonious and one with God. "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." "Satyam eva jayate—truth alone triumphs." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Around The World - Vegetarianism and top sport, Part 1
17:00 - 17:24 (24 min)
Recorded on
Vegetarian nutrition fully supports elite athletic performance. A vegetarian diet based on non-injury provides complete nourishment. Properly prepared, it offers all necessary energy without burdening the body. The foundation is high-quality, organic ingredients. Whole grains like pasta provide sustained energy from complex carbohydrates. Tofu and legumes supply easily digestible protein for muscle development. Spices are essential medicines that enhance flavor, aid digestion, and improve nutrient absorption. Creativity in combining these elements is vital. Dairy products and healthy fats like olive oil and ghee complete the nutritional profile. This approach ensures athletes receive all required proteins, vitamins, and minerals. "Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties; from some studies, it seems to be one of the most potent anticancer agents." "Spices are truly medicines. Each spice has such a wide range of effects that simply by taking them, we can not only maintain our health but also significantly improve it." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia
Love and Spirituality
17:30 - 18:36 (66 min)
Recorded on
The path to immortality is spiritual, not physical, and human life is the final chance to achieve it. Physical immortality is impossible under natural law; what is born must die. True immortality is the soul merging into the supreme Brahman, becoming everlasting Ātmā. This is difficult, taking many births. The soul is bound by karma, creating destiny through action and reaction. Human life is the last milestone to escape this cycle and achieve oneness. Spirituality is not merely ritual; it is 24-hour purity in all action, thought, and behavior. It means seeing God in everyone, living with compassion, and harming no one. The human intellect, properly educated in fundamental dharma and human qualities, is key. Life's real richness is contentment and generosity, not material wealth. True spirituality is expressed in selfless love and kindness to all creatures. Yogic science describes the body's energy systems, like the 72,000 nāḍīs and key channels like Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā, which can be balanced through gentle practices for health and consciousness. "Spirituality is 24 hours. Whatever we do should be pure: eating, drinking, behaviour, working, relations, etc." "Do not do to others what you do not like to do for yourself."

Vaccinate or not vaccinate?
18:40 - 19:10 (30 min)
Recorded on
The discourse connects ancient spiritual festivals with modern well-being, emphasizing light, faith, and practical health. Diwali, the festival of light, originated long ago with oil lamps to worship Bhagavān Rāma. This tradition comes from a time of one religion and simple ceremonies. The light represents spiritual goodness contrasted with inner darkness. Scriptures like the Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa cement these teachings. Today, various faiths—Hindu, Christian, Muslim—practice their ceremonies humbly, which is good. Our current challenge is health, stemming from improper food and chemicals. Vaccines are addressed; I took three doses and felt very well, but I do not force anyone. However, not taking it may lead to problems, like travel restrictions or separate communities. We must care for our food and water for good health. "Dīvā means light. So that time, for one day, it was the festival with the lights." "I would say that we should give all, we should take the vaccine and be nice." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

It is praised as victorious and glorious. Worldly fears cannot touch one engaged in true satsaṅg. It is likened to the fragrance of sandalwood that permeates all it touches. This gathering is the essential means for realizing the divine presence within. "Oh satsaṅga jaya jana pā, Maliya garā kevai, Oh chandana melevo Svāmpaka satsaṅga tasi parama ānanda sukha pā."

This prayer acknowledges that all actions are already accomplished. The sequence presents a shift from future aspiration to past completion. The apparent inconsistency reveals a non-linear understanding of time. Success is not a future event but a present reality recognized through grace. The work is done in the spirit of that accomplished perfection. "make all my work successful." "And indeed, everything I do is accomplished successfully." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
