Yoga is the eternal path to self-realization, a source of endless knowledge beyond mere postures. The universal Self, or light of God, dwells within all beings, yet we are blinded by illusion. Human life aims to return to this origin, guided by dharma and bound by karma. Education from parents teaches spiritual principles, while worldly knowledge is far from the divine light. Space and consciousness are balanced in perfect oneness through yoga. Our duty is to help others and all creatures, for harming them is harming the light within them. Purification comes through discipline, meditation, and sattvic food, awakening the dormant energies within. "Yoga is like a forever milky cow. Every day it gives you new milk, fresh milk." "If you see yourself in everyone, this is the first step of self-realization." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

The practice advances to the second level of āsanas and prāṇāyāma. Level two introduces seventeen postures, beginning and ending on the floor with standing poses in between. This level engages the real practice of āsana. Each posture follows a sequence: start from a position of concentration, move into the form, then either hold with normal breath or return. The effect is felt upon returning. Practice begins with OṂ, breathing, and relaxation. Full yoga breath combines abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular parts into a wave. Movement is then added to this breath. Āsanas include Śaśāṅkāsana, Meru Ākaraṇa Āsana, Bhūnamanā Āsana, Aśva Sanchalāsana, Utthāna Prastha Āsana, and standing poses like Hasta Uttānāsana and Akaraṇa Dhanur Āsana. Each has specific benefits and some contraindications. Practice concludes with systematic relaxation, alternate-nostril prāṇāyāma to balance energy and brain hemispheres, and OṂ chanting. "Every āsana has its starting position, in which you concentrate on the movement and the āsana you will perform." "The breathing can guide you very deep inside towards your inner self."

The eternal religion is Sanātana Dharma, the universal union with the cosmic Self. Man-made religions arise from incarnations, but the eternal truth is God, creation, and universal consciousness. All beings are born human, without religious labels; only karma determines the afterlife. Duality and religious violence exist only in the human mind. One must be aware of place and time, respecting the atmosphere of sacred spaces. Prayer must come from the heart as a personal consultation with the divine, emptying anger and hate. Scientific research confirms prayer, meditation, and yoga as treatments for stress and mental illness, yet institutional prejudice remains. Prayer is a spiritual tonic that strengthens mental power and fulfills wishes through complete surrender. The greatest protection is satsaṅg, the company of truth, a boat across the ocean of existence. Liberation comes from cultivating devotion, detachment, knowledge, austerity, and renunciation, not from passions like anger or greed. When lost or in fear, prayer is the emergency medicine that reveals the way. "Your karma is the major thing. Your karma is the most important thing." "Prayer should come from the heart, because it is easy to kneel down, but it's hard to bow the heart." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 220

The moon's influence connects nature, human consciousness, and spiritual practice. The full moon profoundly affects our emotions and the natural world. In scripture, moonlight is a nectar entering vegetation, linked to the idea of a honeymoon, where honey symbolizes health and immortality. We must protect bees, crucial for this nectar, as their decline is an ecological disaster. A practitioner should be like a bee, extracting only the good from the world without causing harm. The bee's hum is its mantra. To balance the moon's strong energy, one may fast on a full moon day. The moon symbolizes emotion; like ocean waves, high emotions obscure clarity, so important decisions should wait for calm. Our journey involves consciousness moving through energy centers, from the root, which holds past karma, to higher states. We must purify subconscious desires in this life to avoid future suffering. True practice involves healthy living, compassion, and meditation to perceive the divine beauty in all existence, living purely like a lotus in a polluted world. "Arjuna, I enter into the vegetation as a nectar through the moonlight." "If you would like to have all as your friends, then give up harsh words." Filming location: New York, USA
