Mahāśivarātri is a worship of Lord Śiva, celebrating consciousness, liberation, and the universal principle. The Śivaliṅga is the central focus of worship, representing the entire universe. Śiva is the uncreated, endless consciousness that manifested itself. Śiva and Śakti are not genders but represent consciousness and universal energy. The divine resonance, Nāda, is the form of Supreme Brahman, from which Śiva manifests. He is the protector, as shown by drinking the poison to save the earth. The temple is within; self-realization comes from being present with a mind at zero. All religions are contained within the eternal truth. The duty is to protect the environment, as every atom is Śiva. Chanting the Mahā-Mṛtyuñjaya Mantra offers protection. The individual soul merges with the universal soul. "Śiva means consciousness. Śiva means liberation. Śiva means the truth." "Within you is the ocean of bliss, and within you is the fountain of joy. Within you is the immortal one." Filming locations: Prague, Czech Republic.

The resonance of Aum is the primordial technique to connect awareness with Cosmic Consciousness. This sound pervades the universe and awakens Śiva. A protocol exists for divine invocation, beginning with Gaṇeśa to remove obstacles, ensuring the success of subsequent worship. The essence of Śivarātri is the transition from darkness to light, facilitated by this universal resonance. Creation emerges from the interplay of space and consciousness, united by energy whose movement is the sound Aum. This resonance triggers illumination, manifesting as Śiva, the self-born source. The practice is a science of union, directing inner awareness toward that infinite light within. "Scientists at NASA researched the sound in the universe and within the sun itself. I have a CD of this sound, and it is very clearly Oṁ." "Between these two, space and consciousness, where the energy begins, there is a kind of movement, and that is called resonance. That resonance is called nāda. That is Nāda Yoga, sound. And that nāda is a universal nāda which is called Aum." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The divine descends into suffering to bear the pain of the world. In the difficult age of Kali, all beings endure hardship. Even divine incarnations like Kṛṣṇa and Jesus underwent profound suffering, demonstrating this universal condition. An old man's story illustrates how worldly success fades into loneliness and pain, revealing suffering's inevitability. Our physical bodies and possessions are temporary, but the inner soul remains. All beings, including sages and gods, experience suffering as they absorb the collective anguish. This shared experience ultimately dissolves into the divine. "All ṛṣis, sādhus, gurus, and God—all were suffering. They are taking from others our heart, our pain." "Better is that we quickly die than hurry home. That is why maybe it is good."

Morning practising. Fifth level of the System" Yoga in Daily Life" from Mahaprabhudeep Ashram, Strilky, Czech Republic on 9th of July 2010.

We are blessed by the grace of Mahāśivarātri. This holy night is especially fortunate, dedicated to Lord Śiva, who declared it a night of worship for all ages. You have preserved Sanātana Dharma, the main highway, unlike other paths that are like small sticks leading into the forest. A temple for Lord Shiva is established here; offer simple water, fruits, or flowers to Bholenāth. This place in Fiji feels divine, a residence of Bhagavān Śiva. People come here from many nations, and their stress dissolves through spiritual practice. Lord Śiva is Bholenāth, happy and innocent. A thief once climbed a Śivaliṅga with muddy feet to steal, but Śiva blessed him for his innocent offering of himself. Another tale tells of a hunter who, failing to find game, unknowingly performed abhiṣeka with water and offered Bilva leaves to a Liṅga from a tree. He then showed compassion to pleading deer, deciding not to kill. Śiva appeared, liberated all, and granted the hunter's family prosperity. That night is Mahāśivarātri. "Sanātana Dharma is the highway, the main road. Other paths are like small sticks you walk on with your feet; they will leave you in the forest after some time." "Lord Śiva said, 'You are such a great bhakta, you offer yourself to me. What can be a greater bhakta than you?'" Filming location: Fiji Islands

This lecture details the Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā purification techniques. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the cleansing of the entire intestine using warm, lightly salted water, performed early in the morning on an empty stomach. It involves drinking water and performing specific movements and postures to guide the water through the system. This practice is beneficial for conditions like high blood pressure and digestive issues but is not advised for those under 15, individuals with active ulcers or hernias, or pregnant women. Preparation includes a light diet the prior evening. The process continues until the expelled water runs clear. A strict diet must follow for at least one week, avoiding alcohol, meat, fish, eggs, and raw foods. Kunjal Kriyā is the cleansing of the stomach, performed after Śaṅkha Prakṣālana by drinking unsalted water to the point of fullness and then voluntarily expelling it. This practice helps purify the stomach and can aid those with bronchial asthma. The session concludes with rest and a meal of specially prepared kicharī. "The best time to do Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is in March, the beginning of September, the end of May, and before the winter." "After Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, you have to keep a diet for at least, strictly, seven days, one week, and up to one month." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A Śiva Pūjā is performed through invocation, abhiṣeka, and homa. The ritual begins with sacred mantras and offerings to Lord Śiva. Water, sandalwood, and sacred ash are offered with reverence. The five nectars and various substances like rice, betel leaf, and flowers are presented. A fire ceremony is conducted, where offerings are made with the utterance of svāhā. This act symbolizes the sacrifice of negativity and ego into the purifying flames. The recitation of the thousand names of Śiva follows, a profound meditation for this age. The ritual concludes with a peace prayer, affirming the eternal, complete nature of the divine. "Whatever negativity, ego, jealousy, or hatred is with us, we are sacrificing." "Pūrṇamadaḥ, Pūrṇamidaṁ, Pūrṇāt Pūrṇamudacyate." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

Morning program with Vishwaguruji from Wellington Ashram, New Zealand. Life is the most beautiful, but humans always have problems like greediness and killing other creatures. The day when we go we will not bring anything with us. Story of the proud king who thought that he is the best. The ego pulls down completely. We need some things for our life, other things we should give. Be faithful to yourself.

God is one, appearing in form or formlessness. Different names and forms point to the same supreme reality. The formless Parabrahma, Allah, or Holy Father is the ultimate. Yet, for those in a body, worship of a form is a valid path to that formless truth. Scriptures describe divine functions: Brahmā creates, Viṣṇu preserves, and Śiva dissolves, yet all are aspects of the one. The Guru is the living conduit to this truth, surpassing even these divine aspects. True guidance comes only through an authentic Guru rooted in a genuine lineage. Meditation and worship must be focused on that Guru. Without such a master, one remains lost, following empty signs and gaining no real liberation. "God is only one. There is no other god; there is only one God." "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara... Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

The power of wish must be guided by discernment. Whatever you wish is possible, but you must know what you are wishing for. Desire contains willpower, Icchā Śakti, which is necessary for fulfillment. Yet without viveka—intelligence and common sense—desire will torture you. You must analyze your wish to see its true form and its potential fruits, which may harm or help you. Like a monkey who strongly desired a basket thinking it held honey, only to find a cobra, we can be ruined by ignorant wishes. God grants all wishes, even negative ones, but gave us intellect to choose wisely. Therefore, develop discernment first. The ultimate truth is devotion. In this age, the world is sustained by the name of God. Repeat your mantra to cross the ocean of ignorance. Śakti, the one energy, powers all things in different forms, but we must know how to use it. "Whatever you wish, everything is possible; nothing is impossible." "Before you do some action, you should know the form of the action." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Satguru's name is the boat to cross the ocean of worldly existence. Satsang is the vehicle to heaven, like a boat crossing the ocean. Those who board the boat of the Guru's name with faith and service will be carried to the far shore. The mind is inherently restless, greedy, and thieving; it steals away good thoughts. Do not follow its desires. To control it, seek shelter at the Guru's divine feet. Worry is a disease that eats away at one's roots like a termite. We often blame others and do not accept our own mistakes, which creates mental illness. Guilt and hidden faults create fear that manifests as disease in the body. Surrender is essential. True devotion is an unbreakable attachment and purity. Hold fast to it to attain the divine vision. "Satguru nām jahāj hai, chaḍe sū utre pār, jo śraddhā kar sev de." "Man ke lagām lagāo... To śaraṇa. Come, seek the shelter at the divine feet or divine presence of the Gurudev." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary.

Yoga in daily life is the ever-shining sun, present everywhere. The program begins with purifying the body's impurities. Habit becomes one's second nature. A story illustrates this: a man jumps into a river to retrieve a coat, which is actually a bear. The bear catches him. The man wishes to leave the coat, but the coat does not leave him. This is the condition of dependency. People find time for negative habits but claim to have no time for meditation or good deeds. The mind is a reflection, like a face in a mirror; one cleans the mirror, but the spot is on the face. The mind must be corrected through techniques, good society, and meditation. The five sheaths of the being are the body of nourishment, energy, mind, intellect, and bliss. Liberation comes from mastering the mind, attachment, hope, and thirst. Give charity without expectation of return. This is the science of yoga for body, mind, and soul. "Habit is the second nature of the human." "Man marā na mamatā marī—your desires, what you want to have." Filming location: Alexandria, USA

A spiritual writer perceives past, present, and future through meditation, crafting songs and poems that are dialogues with the self. Ordinary thought can either fuel problems or solve them. We must analyze our relationship with inner noise, distinguishing between necessary and nonsensical thoughts. Writing stems from concrete, lived experience—often the author's own psychic or situational struggles—transformed into universal insight. True creative work, done with love, becomes a lasting, divine offering. We must awaken from ignorance, for human life is a fleeting chance for spiritual progress. A true master is the awakened one who guides others with fresh, flowing wisdom. Ultimately, nothing we collect is truly ours; only what we give has lasting value. "One line is a question, and the second part is the answer. First, the spiritual seeker is asking, warning oneself." "Chet means awake, be alert, be conscious. Don't run here and there in the world. This will not help you. You have to wake up and go inside." Filming location: London, UK

True yoga requires right conduct, not just physical exercise. Without abstaining from meat and alcohol, it is merely exercise, not the yogic path. The world often misunderstands this. The purpose is to return to God, a knowledge preserved in India. Foreign influences promoting contrary habits have caused problems. A return to peace and understanding is coming. Many worldwide now question harming animals. This is yoga in daily life. Many teachers work globally, but practice is undermined if students return home to eat meat. All beings are connected. The practice must be consistent, regardless of one's background. "If someone consumes meat and alcohol, they are not a yogī, and it is not yoga. It becomes merely an exercise." "We should not kill animals. This is yoga in daily life." Filming location: Bari Khatu, Rajasthan, India

Śiva is the eternal source and protector beyond birth and form. He is Ādi, the beginningless source from which all emerges. Śiva manifested Brahmā and Viṣṇu, assigning them roles: Brahmā creates, Viṣṇu preserves, and Śiva ultimately protects and dissolves. He maintains balance between all forces. The holy night of Mahāśivarātri commemorates his grace. A desperate hunter, failing to find food, climbed a Bīlva tree. Water from his vessel and leaves he dropped fell onto a Śiva Liṅga below, unknowingly performing worship. Throughout the night, he was moved to compassion and spared the lives of pleading deer. By dawn, Śiva, pleased with this inadvertent devotion, blessed the hunter and his family with sustenance, forbidding further killing. Śiva is Bholenāth, the easily pleased lord who grants boons to simple, sincere hearts, turning even accidental or flawed actions into devotion. "Śiva is not born; he has no mother, no son, and no father. He is the father; it is he who manifests himself." "So when man was there and Śiva came and Śiva said, 'I will protect these deer and I protect your families.'" Filming location: Sydney, Australia

The Kali Yuga presents a severe trial, demanding unity. A time of great calamity approaches, with disasters, disease, and agricultural ruin. Yet, a path exists for those with correct knowledge to merge with the cosmic Śiva. Śiva's nature is universally compassionate, embracing all people and religions without exclusion, unlike other forces that may discriminate. Śiva's blessing is the paramount solution. The precious human birth is easily squandered without understanding. Time, once lost, never returns. Therefore, one must remember Śiva constantly through repetition of His names, cultivating real devotion to the inner Gurudeva, who appears in many forms beyond external designations. This devotion is the essential grace. "Śiva said, 'All of you are very good. Let be.'" "Human life in this world is very, very precious. If you do not understand and you lose it, then you have no knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Haṭha Yoga is the essential, foundational path encompassing all others. You cannot proceed without Haṭha Yoga. Bhakti Yoga is also Haṭha Yoga inside, for you must maintain unwavering devotion despite emotional waves. Most devotion is selfish and unstable, rising and falling with desires. True devotion must grow constantly, like an airplane ascending smoothly from the runway. It is a test of purity and constancy. The story of the crow and swan illustrates this: the noisy, changeable crow represents fickle devotion, while the silent, soaring swan represents steady ascent. Real devotion requires a pure heart and readiness to surrender completely. The tale of the young girl Karmabai demonstrates this forceful love: she insisted the deity eat her offering, and through her unwavering conviction, it did. Karma Yoga is similarly challenging. Thus, all paths are included within Haṭha Yoga. "Bhakti yoga cannot be successful without haṭha yoga. And then it must be what we call the real devotion." "God needs that kind of love... it is the love that is the oneness." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

This sacred island is the ancient abode of Bhagavān Śiva, his consort Pārvatī, and Nandī. A mountain here holds the complete form of the Divine Mother, visible from the airport. At its peak is a pure lake, like Mānasarovara, from which flows water bottled and sold globally as Fiji Water. Upon a large rock near this lake is the Swayambhū footprint of Lord Sadāśiva. On another part of the island, in Lambasa, a sacred black stone representing a śāstra nāga grew despite attempts to contain it, leading to the construction of the Nāg Mandir. This land is uniquely blessed, free from dangerous animals and abundant with food and water year-round, a protection linked to its sacred geography. "At the peak of that mountain, there is a beautiful lake, akin to Mānasarovara near Kailāśa mountain. The water of that lake is utterly pure, without pollution." "Fiji is the only country in the world without any dangerous animals, reptiles, or spiders. You can sleep anywhere outside without worry." Filming location: Fiji Islands

The path of spiritual practice leads to liberation, and the company of truth bestows supreme joy. Engage in spiritual practice with love for the divine. This practice is the means to liberation. The first type of practice involves discrimination and truth. The second is motivated by desire for heavenly rewards. The third is the practice of renouncing wealth, which leads to bliss. Even a small, ego-driven practice is merely a shadow of true liberation. The assembly of truth, satsaṅga, is glorious. In it, word-essences resound, and heart meets heart. This communion transforms base metal into gold and grants the highest bliss. The light of the guru dispels inner darkness, igniting the latent spiritual force. Through grace, all bondage is severed. "Engage in spiritual practice with love for the divine, for through that comes liberation." "In the company of truth, one attains the highest bliss." Filming location: Slovenia

A master's teaching adapts to the student's background but arises from a place of non-discrimination. Teaching varies based on a student's inherent culture, like learning to cook at home versus from scratch. Language also shapes the delivery, as perfect translation of meaning is difficult. However, the true master holds no distinction in heart, like a sun shining on all. The story of Eklavya illustrates this: though formally rejected, his devotion to his guru as a statue made him a great archer. The master teaches from within, beyond speech, through divine love. Disciples who perceive favoritism are mistaken. The master knows each student's needs and administers many tests. True service is to see oneself not as a successor, but as eternally serving the guru. "Love does not require any words. Love does not need any explanation." "The master is like a sun, and the disciples are like all of us who benefit from the sunlight."

A prayer for protection and balance in response to suffering. An earthquake has caused loss and hardship. Prayers and ceremonies have positive effects. We are in Kali Yuga, a distracting age. Shiva will now balance all negatives to bring a better time. Messages suggest more challenges will come. We must act. First, protect all life: in water, on land, and in the air. Do not destroy creatures; love and feed them. From your own food, give a portion to animals. This protection of others is protection for ourselves. Spiritual progress is like drawing water from a deep well; negative actions can break the rope, causing a fall. We should also practice yoga: postures like Sarvahitāsan and prāṇāyāma. These bring health. Breathing is life itself. "Shiva 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." "If we cannot give them something good, then at least we should not destroy them or make problems for them." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Summer Yoga Camp in Vep, Hungary. Practice makes perfect. Yoga means and begins with discipline. There are many people suffering from illnesses. Focusing on the target is the main point in archery. Vishwaguruji explains the strory of the Eklavya and Arjuna to illustrate what it means to practice.

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."

True yoga requires right conduct, not just physical exercise. Without abstaining from meat and alcohol, it is merely exercise, not the yogic path. The world often misunderstands this. The purpose is to return to God, a knowledge preserved in India. Foreign influences promoting contrary habits have caused problems. A return to peace and understanding is coming. Many worldwide now question harming animals. This is yoga in daily life. Many teachers work globally, but practice is undermined if students return home to eat meat. All beings are connected. The practice must be consistent, regardless of one's background. "If someone consumes meat and alcohol, they are not a yogī, and it is not yoga. It becomes merely an exercise." "We should not kill animals. This is yoga in daily life." Filming location: Bari Khatu, Rajasthan, India

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

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 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

Satsang with Vishwaguruji, summer retreat in Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are different levels of our being such as: Atma, Jivatma, consciousness/awareness, mind, emotion, senses, desires, physical body and energy body. There is an inner balancing mechanism to distribute energy to the whole body. With proper inner engineering we should avoid destroying our system. We need healthy seasonal eating and enhanced practice such as Pranayam.

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

New Year satsang from Blanicka Yoga Centre Prague.

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

A master's teaching adapts to the student's background but arises from a place of non-discrimination. Teaching varies based on a student's inherent culture, like learning to cook at home versus from scratch. Language also shapes the delivery, as perfect translation of meaning is difficult. However, the true master holds no distinction in heart, like a sun shining on all. The story of Eklavya illustrates this: though formally rejected, his devotion to his guru as a statue made him a great archer. The master teaches from within, beyond speech, through divine love. Disciples who perceive favoritism are mistaken. The master knows each student's needs and administers many tests. True service is to see oneself not as a successor, but as eternally serving the guru. "Love does not require any words. Love does not need any explanation." "The master is like a sun, and the disciples are like all of us who benefit from the sunlight."

A prayer for protection and balance in response to suffering. An earthquake has caused loss and hardship. Prayers and ceremonies have positive effects. We are in Kali Yuga, a distracting age. Shiva will now balance all negatives to bring a better time. Messages suggest more challenges will come. We must act. First, protect all life: in water, on land, and in the air. Do not destroy creatures; love and feed them. From your own food, give a portion to animals. This protection of others is protection for ourselves. Spiritual progress is like drawing water from a deep well; negative actions can break the rope, causing a fall. We should also practice yoga: postures like Sarvahitāsan and prāṇāyāma. These bring health. Breathing is life itself. "Shiva 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." "If we cannot give them something good, then at least we should not destroy them or make problems for them." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Summer Yoga Camp in Vep, Hungary. Practice makes perfect. Yoga means and begins with discipline. There are many people suffering from illnesses. Focusing on the target is the main point in archery. Vishwaguruji explains the strory of the Eklavya and Arjuna to illustrate what it means to practice.

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."

Welcome to the third Sri Swami Maheshwarananda Festival of Spiritual Music, Debrecen, Hungary.

Mahāśivarātri is a worship of Lord Śiva, celebrating consciousness, liberation, and the universal principle. The Śivaliṅga is the central focus of worship, representing the entire universe. Śiva is the uncreated, endless consciousness that manifested itself. Śiva and Śakti are not genders but represent consciousness and universal energy. The divine resonance, Nāda, is the form of Supreme Brahman, from which Śiva manifests. He is the protector, as shown by drinking the poison to save the earth. The temple is within; self-realization comes from being present with a mind at zero. All religions are contained within the eternal truth. The duty is to protect the environment, as every atom is Śiva. Chanting the Mahā-Mṛtyuñjaya Mantra offers protection. The individual soul merges with the universal soul. "Śiva means consciousness. Śiva means liberation. Śiva means the truth." "Within you is the ocean of bliss, and within you is the fountain of joy. Within you is the immortal one." Filming locations: Prague, Czech Republic.

Maha Shivaratri Celebration with Vishwaguru Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda

The resonance of Aum is the primordial technique to connect awareness with Cosmic Consciousness. This sound pervades the universe and awakens Śiva. A protocol exists for divine invocation, beginning with Gaṇeśa to remove obstacles, ensuring the success of subsequent worship. The essence of Śivarātri is the transition from darkness to light, facilitated by this universal resonance. Creation emerges from the interplay of space and consciousness, united by energy whose movement is the sound Aum. This resonance triggers illumination, manifesting as Śiva, the self-born source. The practice is a science of union, directing inner awareness toward that infinite light within. "Scientists at NASA researched the sound in the universe and within the sun itself. I have a CD of this sound, and it is very clearly Oṁ." "Between these two, space and consciousness, where the energy begins, there is a kind of movement, and that is called resonance. That resonance is called nāda. That is Nāda Yoga, sound. And that nāda is a universal nāda which is called Aum." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The divine descends into suffering to bear the pain of the world. In the difficult age of Kali, all beings endure hardship. Even divine incarnations like Kṛṣṇa and Jesus underwent profound suffering, demonstrating this universal condition. An old man's story illustrates how worldly success fades into loneliness and pain, revealing suffering's inevitability. Our physical bodies and possessions are temporary, but the inner soul remains. All beings, including sages and gods, experience suffering as they absorb the collective anguish. This shared experience ultimately dissolves into the divine. "All ṛṣis, sādhus, gurus, and God—all were suffering. They are taking from others our heart, our pain." "Better is that we quickly die than hurry home. That is why maybe it is good."

Morning practising. Fifth level of the System" Yoga in Daily Life" from Mahaprabhudeep Ashram, Strilky, Czech Republic on 9th of July 2010.

We are blessed by the grace of Mahāśivarātri. This holy night is especially fortunate, dedicated to Lord Śiva, who declared it a night of worship for all ages. You have preserved Sanātana Dharma, the main highway, unlike other paths that are like small sticks leading into the forest. A temple for Lord Shiva is established here; offer simple water, fruits, or flowers to Bholenāth. This place in Fiji feels divine, a residence of Bhagavān Śiva. People come here from many nations, and their stress dissolves through spiritual practice. Lord Śiva is Bholenāth, happy and innocent. A thief once climbed a Śivaliṅga with muddy feet to steal, but Śiva blessed him for his innocent offering of himself. Another tale tells of a hunter who, failing to find game, unknowingly performed abhiṣeka with water and offered Bilva leaves to a Liṅga from a tree. He then showed compassion to pleading deer, deciding not to kill. Śiva appeared, liberated all, and granted the hunter's family prosperity. That night is Mahāśivarātri. "Sanātana Dharma is the highway, the main road. Other paths are like small sticks you walk on with your feet; they will leave you in the forest after some time." "Lord Śiva said, 'You are such a great bhakta, you offer yourself to me. What can be a greater bhakta than you?'" Filming location: Fiji Islands

This lecture details the Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā purification techniques. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the cleansing of the entire intestine using warm, lightly salted water, performed early in the morning on an empty stomach. It involves drinking water and performing specific movements and postures to guide the water through the system. This practice is beneficial for conditions like high blood pressure and digestive issues but is not advised for those under 15, individuals with active ulcers or hernias, or pregnant women. Preparation includes a light diet the prior evening. The process continues until the expelled water runs clear. A strict diet must follow for at least one week, avoiding alcohol, meat, fish, eggs, and raw foods. Kunjal Kriyā is the cleansing of the stomach, performed after Śaṅkha Prakṣālana by drinking unsalted water to the point of fullness and then voluntarily expelling it. This practice helps purify the stomach and can aid those with bronchial asthma. The session concludes with rest and a meal of specially prepared kicharī. "The best time to do Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is in March, the beginning of September, the end of May, and before the winter." "After Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, you have to keep a diet for at least, strictly, seven days, one week, and up to one month." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A Śiva Pūjā is performed through invocation, abhiṣeka, and homa. The ritual begins with sacred mantras and offerings to Lord Śiva. Water, sandalwood, and sacred ash are offered with reverence. The five nectars and various substances like rice, betel leaf, and flowers are presented. A fire ceremony is conducted, where offerings are made with the utterance of svāhā. This act symbolizes the sacrifice of negativity and ego into the purifying flames. The recitation of the thousand names of Śiva follows, a profound meditation for this age. The ritual concludes with a peace prayer, affirming the eternal, complete nature of the divine. "Whatever negativity, ego, jealousy, or hatred is with us, we are sacrificing." "Pūrṇamadaḥ, Pūrṇamidaṁ, Pūrṇāt Pūrṇamudacyate." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

Morning program with Vishwaguruji from Wellington Ashram, New Zealand. Life is the most beautiful, but humans always have problems like greediness and killing other creatures. The day when we go we will not bring anything with us. Story of the proud king who thought that he is the best. The ego pulls down completely. We need some things for our life, other things we should give. Be faithful to yourself.

God is one, appearing in form or formlessness. Different names and forms point to the same supreme reality. The formless Parabrahma, Allah, or Holy Father is the ultimate. Yet, for those in a body, worship of a form is a valid path to that formless truth. Scriptures describe divine functions: Brahmā creates, Viṣṇu preserves, and Śiva dissolves, yet all are aspects of the one. The Guru is the living conduit to this truth, surpassing even these divine aspects. True guidance comes only through an authentic Guru rooted in a genuine lineage. Meditation and worship must be focused on that Guru. Without such a master, one remains lost, following empty signs and gaining no real liberation. "God is only one. There is no other god; there is only one God." "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara... Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma." Filming location: Sydney, Australia
