Morning Yoga practice from the international Yoga retreat Umag, Croatia

Jadan Ashram, District Pali, Rajasthan, India. Lecture by Swami Avatarpuriji. Explanation of the meaning of the world ashram.

Meditation is an ancient practice with two forms: active karma yoga and passive inner absorption. This world is a field of action, karma bhūmi, where our deeds shape reality. Humans have created a selfish, man-made world that is out of harmony with the perfect God-made world, causing suffering and ecological crisis. True success and peace come from selfless work, protecting all life, and surrendering the fruits of action to the divine. "Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam." "Mother Nature has enough for everyone’s need, but not for the greed." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 524

A prayer and spiritual address following an earthquake in Croatia. "Let us be in prayer for all of us." "He will balance all. He will bring that kind of energy so that all the negatives or distracting things will slowly, slowly be brought into a good position by Śiva himself." The speaker opens with traditional invocations and a prayer for those affected by a recent earthquake. He discusses the event in the context of Kali Yuga, suggesting a divine balancing is underway. The core teaching is a call to protect all life—categorized as Jalchara, Thalchara, and Nabhachara (water, land, and sky beings)—by sharing food and not harming animals. He links this compassion to spiritual progress and recommends yoga practices, including Sarvahitāsan and prāṇāyāma, for personal and collective well-being. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The video explores the four aspects of grace, culminating in a detailed explanation of self-love or Kuṭkī Kṛpā. "Love each and every living being, if not more, then at least as much as yourself." "We cannot really love others if we don’t love ourselves." The teaching defines Deva Kṛpā (divine grace for human incarnation), Śāstra Kṛpā (grace through scriptures), Guru Kṛpā (the Guru's grace), and finally, Kuṭkī Kṛpā, which is one's own grace or self-love. This self-love is framed not as ego but as a high vibrational energy essential for spiritual growth. A practical method for cultivating it is presented through a three-step inner process: accept yourself as you are, seek to understand how you became that way through self-inquiry, and then move to giving, which includes forgiving yourself. A true story illustrates the healing power of sending love to one's own body. The session concludes with a parable about Guru Nānak's disciples, explaining how present actions interact with past karma, demonstrating that good deeds like attending satsaṅg can purify severe past karma, transforming major suffering into minor hardship.
