Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 2 - Part 2

6:00 - 7:11|Recorded on 27 Oct 2009
The practice of Yoga in Daily Life continues systematically from Level Two, beginning with relaxation and progressing through specific āsanas and prāṇāyāma. A session starts with three Oṁ chants and deep relaxation in Ānanda Āsana, consciously releasing tension from toes to forehead. The full yoga breath is practiced, coordinating a three-part wave with movement. The āsana sequence includes Meru Pṛṣṭhāsana for spinal flexibility and energy, Catuṣpada Āsana for stretching and organ function, and Cakrāsana for posture and digestion. Each posture is performed with attention to breath, comfort, and the resulting physical and energetic effects. The practice concludes with prāṇāyāma to balance breath channels and a meditation preparation, ending with chants for peace. "Āsana means, except for other meanings, also comfortable. So āsana should be a comfortable position." "After exhalation, try to feel the complete relaxation of all the muscles and the inner peace, and stop all the movements in your body."

Use your common sense!

7:15 - 8:33 | From: 9 Aug 2024
Discerning Guru Vākya with common sense is essential. When a Guru speaks, the answer is often for the person asking, not for everyone. Hearing a reply meant for another does not make it Guru Vākya for you. Direct personal instruction from the Guru is for that disciple alone and should not be broadcast as a universal command. Consider the agarbattī example: modern chemical incense is harmful and prohibited, yet pure agarbattī was once used sparingly. This illustrates that context determines a teaching’s application. People frequently misuse the term Guru Vākya to force their own desires upon others. They wield it as a sword, as blackmail, claiming divine sanction for personal wishes. Common sense, viveka, must be exercised. Be aware of who relays the Guru Vākya; the source may distort it. Just as fake news spreads, false teachings circulate without knowledge. Do not be critical, but think about what is heard. Often, one only hears the Guru Vākya that aligns with personal wishes. What Grandma wants, Grandma will dream about. Being near the Guru can challenge the ego, causing inner conflict; this is normal. Only when empty inside, like the bamboo flute, can the divine play through you. Thus, discern with awareness, using common sense to navigate the multitude of sayings. “If you are passing near the gaddi of Viśvagurujī, and somebody puts a question and you hear the answer, that answer is for that person. For that person, it is Guru Vākya. For you, maybe it is not.” “Mostly people use Guru Vākya, only that kind of Guru Vākya which is going to my wishes, what I want.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary

You have to find the way

8:40 - 9:31 | From: 12 Jul 2015
The inner world of consciousness is a vast, undiscovered forest. Consciousness resides within energy, which dwells in endless space, Ananta. Within consciousness lies our knowledge and intellect. When intellect intervenes, reality often disappears. The Ājñā Chakra is the crossroads where all desires and intellect converge. It is the border between human and divine consciousness, the seat of command and discernment. Intellect merely judges, while Viveka, or common sense, offers true guidance. This chakra presents profound dilemmas requiring decisive wisdom beyond logic. "Consciousness is within the energy. Energy is within the space, and space is within itself. That’s called Ananta, endless." "The border between our physical consciousness and higher consciousness: Ājñā Cakra... If we concentrate and create a knowledge or feeling toward the higher, then the Ājñā Chakra will guide us very comfortably." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Protect is in protect

9:35 - 10:26 | From: 20 Dec 2020
A global crisis prompts reflection on humanity's unique spiritual and physical condition. Why does a pandemic target humans specifically, across all nations and beliefs? All creatures possess the same fundamental layers of existence, yet humans alone wield the power of action beyond mere survival. This century's afflictions stem from human karma. The widespread turn to meat consumption after the world wars, increased alcohol use, and the industrial production of food have introduced disease. Consuming such nourishment stores illness within, which may emerge later in life. Even vegetables now contain chemicals. The suffering we see originates from human actions, creating a poisoned environment. This is the age of Kali Yuga, where negative forces are prominent. True religion is self-control, and real yoga extends far beyond physical postures. We must first ensure our own spiritual protection to safeguard others. A great conjunction of planets is occurring, a rare celestial event. The coming Satya Yuga is governed by a divine timescale vastly different from our own. Ultimately, all paths return to the yogic essence within. "Slowly, attacks come. It is like a beautiful, big tree: one or two bugs enter, then slowly worms multiply and eat the entire trunk from within." "Practice yoga and daily life, and sleep very peacefully. Look inside; see what will be good. You will be protected." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Remain pure

10:30 - 11:19 | From: 8 Sep 2023
The path requires strict dietary purity to achieve divine union. Impure food breaks spiritual progress and creates obstacles. A family must be united in this purity, especially when raising children, to become a whole pure unit. Lapses can lead to karmic consequences in future lives. One must remain strong in personal discipline even when surrounded by those who do not follow it. True aspirants and sādhus embody this complete purity. Internal cleansing of the chakras is essential, leading to the union of will within. The ultimate reality is the divine union of male and female principles, Śiva and Śakti, from which all creation emerges. This truth must be made clear and displayed for all to understand. "I cannot give Him to you; I can only help you." "It is said that when it is taken, like this side, meat and this and that, then it will give you back again in another life."

The infinite love and blessing of Vishwaguruji

From 1 Dec 2024
The Guru is the only one near God and understands all. You are all brothers and sisters. God has done everything well, providing this space. The Guru is the highest and will do everything.

I do nothing; you do everything. The knowledge spoken here is the same as in the Bhagavad Gītā, leading to the Supreme God. "I am not the Guru; Swāmījī is the Guru." "I have given you everything. May you get everything that you want." Filming location: Slovenska Vas, Slovenia

Organic farming in Netherlands

From 3 Aug 2023
A farm's journey from industrial production to living in harmony with nature. The operation shifted from unprofitable mass cultivation to a diverse, organic system. This includes greenhouses using rainwater and biological pest controls. A large food forest integrates vegetables, fruit trees, and nitrogen-fixing plants. The focus is on sustainability, natural cycles, and creating a resilient ecosystem. The work is driven by passion and a good feeling, valued more than financial return alone. The aim is to grow healthy food while enhancing the land for the future. "Nature can do a lot. So, if a plant is sick, then it can make itself better." "It is much more important than money: a good feeling, nice to be busy with your passion." Filming location: Netherlands
