Ujjāyī Prāṇāyāma is a meditation technique that leads to sahaja samādhi and self-inquiry. The practice involves inhaling through both nostrils and exhaling through the mouth slowly. Apply ujjāyī mudrā by pressing the chin toward the chest. Breathe deeply, aware of the breath ascending and descending between the navel and the eyebrow center. Feel fresh cool air on inhalation from Ājñā Cakra to Maṇipūra, and warm air on the lower lip during exhalation. This prāṇāyāma strengthens organs, supplies maximum oxygen, and brings physical health. It calms the vṛttis, making the mind peaceful. The body is like a vessel; the mind is like water within. If the vessel is steady, the mind becomes steady. Mastering the body means mastering the mind. The practice leads to sahaja samādhi, a temporary spontaneous absorption. It deepens one within, feeling one with the self. It is a technique for self-inquiry, ātmā anubhūti. It also develops willpower through saṅkalpa. One should remember the saṅkalpa and pray for protection of the spiritual path. The practice includes relaxing the body, no movement, and normalizing breath after deep cycles. Ultimately, it leads to meditation on the self and peace for all creation. "This kind of prāṇāyāma leads us to sahaja samādhi, spontaneous coming to the samādhi that is temporary." "The body is like a vessel, like a pot. And the mind is like water. If the pot is moving, the water is also moving. If the pot is steady, then the mind is also steady." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Every breath is a priceless diamond; do not squander it. Time is very precious; time is money. Satsang is priceless, received without cost, but one is not worthy to enter it. The bliss of Brahman does not come again and again, so liberation is not possible. The cow serves alive and even after death; the human body is useless after death. Human beings have forgotten how to value time. Humanness is far away. One forgets the Giver, squandering on actions. The heart is stained with sin. One lies, gossips, sings impure songs, defaming the mind. The tongue is not worthy of singing the Lord’s songs. Not serving mother and father makes one unworthy of coming into this world. At every turn, let compassion, modesty, and a smile remain. One must attain life’s secret, renounce restlessness, control mind and senses, know oneself, and remain blissful. The mother of dharma is compassion; the father is contentment. One who serves parents is a true child. One who knows oneself is a human being. “Every breath is a priceless diamond, it is not worthy of being squandered.” “In life, one must attain the secret of life; one must renounce restlessness and unrighteousness.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The human form is a rare opportunity among countless creatures, created from the five elements and endowed with special abilities. Prāṇa is the vital energy that binds the five bodies—physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and causal—into a single being. This causal body is born from desire, perpetuating the wheel of action and reaction. Prāṇa and Apāna are opposing forces; Prāṇa draws energy in, while Apāna expels waste. Their meeting point is the navel at the Maṇipūra Cakra. Impure Apāna, caused by consuming foods like meat, garlic, and beans, creates imbalance and disease, blocking spiritual ascent. Purity of body and thought is essential. Quality attracts quality; an impure mind is repelled by spiritual company. The essence of life is to realize its temporary nature and focus on the divine name. "Prāṇa is that energy which keeps together all the five bodies." "The joy is in the name of God. All your other works and business, everything is unreal." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 221

True sādhanā is devotion from the heart, not mere ritual or fleeting emotion. The Pāṇḍavas failed to invite a ṛṣi for their yajña by citing their lack of performed sacrifices. Draupadī succeeded by declaring that each barefoot step taken toward a sage is itself a hundred yajñas, demonstrating the power of sincere reverence. Similarly, an unlearned brother who held only to God's name could walk on water through devotion, while his scholarly brother could not. Success comes from inner feeling, not external knowledge. Even the science of breath, prāṇāyāma, must be understood and practiced correctly from the heart, not just mechanically. Its purpose is to connect with the universal prāṇa that sustains all life. "Each and every step taken toward sādhus or ṛṣis is equivalent to one hundred yajñas." "Your mantras have no power, but you... you have this power that exists nowhere else in the world."
