The Kumbha pot symbolizes the nectar of immortality, a truth within spiritual practice. During the Kumbh Melā, bathing at the sacred confluence during an auspicious constellation cleanses karma and bestows blessings. I took the ritual bath for all devotees, transferring the merits for their health and realization. The immense gathering generates a collective spiritual energy that awakens inner strength. However, the spiritual path is often obscured by false claims of psychic powers and siddhis. Many pretend to see auras or tell futures, exploiting pure-hearted seekers. Such lies are a great sin and a major obstacle. True spiritual power manifests naturally through presence and goodness, not for show or gain. Do not be deceived by those offering magical solutions or creating fear. Your focus must remain on genuine devotion and practice under a true lineage. Expectations lead to disappointment; be like the steadfast banyan tree, providing shelter without attachment. The ultimate goal is self-realization, ending all suffering. "Satya barabar tap nahi, jhoot barabar pāp—there is no austerity more than truth, and no greater sin than to lie." "Be that banyan tree which welcomes everyone, is never overwhelmed, and never sad."

Evening Satsang with Mahamandaleshwar Swami Jasrajpuriji at Strilky Ashram, 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

Morning Yoga practice from the international Yoga retreat Umag, Croatia on the 26th of September

The individual soul journeys through existence, bound by its karma and seeking liberation. The Supreme is primordial sound, Nāda. Our universal essence, Ātmā, is that sound. What we call our individual self is the Jīvātmā, a wave of that resonance. This soul flutters through time and space, experiencing joy and suffering. Upon death, no material thing or relation follows; only our good and bad karma accompanies us, creating destiny. This record is made instantly through our body, mind, words, and wealth. We are judged without mercy by cosmic justice. The human birth is a rare opportunity in this mortal workshop. The soul enters the body through destiny, not parental will. Life in the womb is a confined preparation. Birth is a cry, as we re-enter illusion. The aim is not worldly riches but spiritual awakening to dissolve back into the Supreme. Share wisdom and blessings; be a producer of light, not a consumer. "Only two will follow us: our good or bad karmas. And that becomes destiny." "Lucky are they, blessed are those souls that finally, by the mercy of the Supreme, got the human body." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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.

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 divine light exists within all beings. Holy saints appear in human form, sharing the culture and appearance of their time, yet their inner realization differs. They feel oneness with all creatures, rejecting harm, though historical rituals sometimes involved offerings. Their miraculous abilities stem from profound knowledge of the universe, which we call God. These beings explored the nature of the body, mind, and the two ruling energies: negative passions like greed and hate, and positive qualities like kindness and peace. The fire of negative emotions causes vast suffering, just as a bushfire harms countless innocent creatures. Divine grace arrives like a heavy rain, bringing peace and relief. All creatures are the light of God, who is formless yet personally attends to creation. Spirituality transcends dogma; claiming only one path is divine creates conflict and is a profound error. The aim is to realize the difference between the eternal, uncreated soul (Ātmā) and the created physical form. Sin is defined as causing pain to any creature. True renunciation is of inner longing, not material objects. The essence is to cultivate universal thinking and selfless service. "Sin is the result of causing pain to others, to all creatures." "Renounce inner longing." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Attachment and the struggle for immortality are central to our existence. Our actions yield blessings or curses, determined by divine justice. Attachment, or moha, is a powerful force affecting all beings, from deities to humans. It manifests as love for family, possessions, or status, leading to suffering when these are threatened. Even great beings like Śiva experience profound attachment, as seen in his grief over Śakti. Her disobedience and self-immolation caused cosmic disruption, requiring Viṣṇu's intervention to sever his attachment by dividing her body. Nārada's mischief often sows doubt and discord, exploiting this human tendency. The quest for secret knowledge, like immortality, is perilous. Śiva reluctantly agreed to teach Pārvatī, seeking a secluded place. However, her inattention allowed a parrot to overhear the wisdom. This theft forced the parrot into a cycle of rebirth, ultimately becoming the sage Śukadeva, who still had to seek a true guru for final liberation. The story illustrates that attachment leads to repeated birth and death, while true immortality requires unwavering focus and a master's grace. "Love is the greatest. That love is God, and God is love." "My dear, this is your skull... As many skulls as there are, that many times you have incarnated and died again." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The soul is caught in the mortal body, and we do not truly know it. Many believe existence ends with the body or that one merges into light after death. Others seek heaven or liberation. Theory is not enough; personal experience is required. The story of the bandit Vālmīki shows that even a great sinner can be transformed through a mantra and sincere repentance, becoming a sage who writes scripture. The story of Tulsīdās illustrates that divine vision requires alertness; God may appear, but one must be aware to see. The human body is a temple, a Garbhagṛha where the soul resides, and must be respected and kept pure. Do not defile it. The goal is to realize the blissful self within. "Does it exist, or does it not? Is this whole game only within this body?" "Therefore, we have to understand what human body God has given us. And that is within us, but we cannot see it."

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." (What did we bring, and what will we take? When born, your fist was closed.) Filming location: London, UK

The sole necessity is the Guru's grace. Without it, nothing is possible. We may think we are okay without this blessing, but that is not true. This grace is the fundamental cause of everything. It brings the disciple peace, harmony, and true blessing. Our parents, who gave us life, embody this principle of blessing. All life in our community, including the animals in the street, are part of our protection and deserve our respect and care. Life is interconnected. In daily struggles, such as the burdens often carried by women in family life, people seek solace in prayer. The Guru's role is to provide peace and assurance during hardship. A story illustrates that ultimate sacrifice for another is rare; true selfless grace comes from the Guru. Therefore, only the Guru's grace grants the disciple true peace. "Guru kṛpā hi kevalam. When Gurudeva’s blessing is there, then everything is possible." "In the world, humans are also not like that. That's why there are yogīs and gurus... who sit somewhere... and actually work for others." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are many beautiful apples, but some of them are rotten because a wasp infected them. When a person is spoiled, the wisdom that he got is lost. In the shelter of Gurudev, if the faith is not strong enough, some problems immediately come. A story about Kabir Das and the butcher. Those who are doing, will get the karma. The story of a man who wants to make problems for someone. Children have truth in their heart. We have to give a good message to the world. The fruit will show the condition of the tree. Karuna from Czech Republic speaks about Yoga in Daily Life helping biathlon athletes.

A divine call initiates the search for a true guru. A vision of Śrī Kṛṣṇa repeatedly requests kheer, compelling its preparation for a visiting saint's gathering. At that satsaṅg, the saint addresses a devotee by name, revealing profound awareness. When asked if one has a guru, the answer emerges from the heart: one is seeking a true guru. Following given addresses leads to an ashram in India. There, a phrase is heard in sleep: "There is nothing in the jīva, but go to the nitya." Travel continues to another ashram to meet the holy guru. An overwhelming energy is received upon meeting. A book is offered, and through grace, the ability to read Hindi is granted. Mantra-dīkṣā is received on a Thursday after offering fruit. Disregarding advice on travel days leads to immediate difficulties, demonstrating the importance of the guru's word. Returning home brings incessant tears and a longing for the ashram. The guru's loving permission allows return. Translations of sacred texts are undertaken as service, a gift enabled by the guru. Further travels and stays in ashrams follow, filled with divine experiences, protective grace, and deep seva. The guru's presence is ultimately felt permanently within the heart. "Have you got a guru? I have not got a guru, but I am looking for a true guru." "For a daughter to come to the father’s house, you don’t even have to get any permission.

Morning lecture with Mahamandaleshwar Swami Jasrajpuriji at Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic

We gather in grace, blessed by our holy Gurudeva's presence, the fruit of past karma. Somatī Amāvasyā is a highly auspicious day for prayer to Gurudeva and Śiva, a day to attain everything. Holy days approach: Navarātri and the Sanātana new year. Our Gurudeva is verily Lord Śiva. I will sing two hymns. The Śiva Tāṇḍava Stotram was sung by Rāvaṇa, a great Śiva bhakta who performed tapasyā and received a golden kingdom. The Śiva Rudrāṣṭakam was sung by Śrī Rām through inner bhakti, receiving the boon of victory. A key verse admits not knowing yoga, japa, or proper worship, but having a clean heart for bhakti alone. We seek only bhakti and liberation through Gurudeva, for his infinite glory cannot be written. Jyotiṣa, the third eye of Śiva, marks the profound coming new year. "Na jānāmi yogam japam naiva pūjāṃ... I do not know yoga, japa, or worship, but I am your bhakta with a clean heart." "Gurur brahmā gurur viṣṇuḥ gurur dēvō maheśvaraḥ... The Guru is Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Maheśvara; the Guru is the supreme Brahman itself." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Unity is essential, especially in challenging times. When devotees unite in love and joy, every day is a celebration. Humans possess intellect, but often lack awareness, bypassing the processing of information. True awareness must be present in all actions, from eating to meditation. Service and spiritual practice are incomplete without devotion and the right feeling. Do not be trapped in the past or future; be present now. We are united like beads on a thread of devotion. Physical spaces should foster openness, not barriers. Love yourself first to love others. Protect righteousness, and it will protect you. Forgiveness brings inner peace, releasing the grudge that harms only you. "Whenever Bhaktas come, unite, and sit together, that is Dīvālī, that is Christmas." "Forgiveness... gives us that sense of peace which we need." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The four aspects of grace culminate in self-love, which is essential for spiritual growth. Grace has four aspects: divine grace for human incarnation, scriptural grace from sacred texts, guru's grace from the teacher, and self-grace, which is giving mercy to oneself. Guru's grace is a response to the disciple's devotion and service. Applying this to oneself means loving yourself and giving that grace to yourself. Self-love is not ego, which takes, but a high vibration that gives. A key teaching is to love others at least as much as you love yourself, yet many struggle with self-love. A practical example is sending loving energy to your own body, which can have healing effects. The path to self-love involves three steps: first, accept yourself as you are. Second, seek to understand how you became who you are through self-inquiry. Third, from understanding comes the desire to give, including forgiving yourself. This process of accept, understand, and give is the essence of the teaching. "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." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The radiance of satsaṅg, or holy company, is supreme. This association is the root cause of divine illumination. From satsaṅg, one attains the highest bliss and joy. 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." "Hameṁ kāma-satsaṅga se jagata-bhake to baka nehīṁ de." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
