The Path Beyond Mind: A Meditation Guide

The path lies beyond the mind, accessed through mantra and inner mastery. Withdraw from external senses and feel the body. The mind is the primary distraction, creating the prison of the physical form. Control the mind like a rider controls a horse, though complete control is never absolute. The resonant power of a correctly recited mantra is the sole force beyond the mind's domain. Writing, sound, and color are preliminary steps that can lead astray if the heart is not directed beyond mental noise. True progress begins in a state of silent, vibration-based awareness where the individual self is still. This leads to the realization of a singular, supreme reality. The disciple must be soft and humble, yet ultimately develop an inner firmness under the guidance of a true master. "Mind, kill your mind. 'Kill your mind' means to bring it completely under your power." "Eko Brahma Dvitīya Nāsti. One is that Brahman... The two will destroy." Filming locations: Auckland, New Zealand

Practicing Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidrā is a practice of conscious relaxation between sleep and awareness. Lie down comfortably, ensuring no disruptions. This technique brings energy, power, and relaxed happiness. Follow the verbal instructions mentally. Begin by feeling and relaxing the entire body from toes to head. Place awareness on each part without stress. Form a positive mental resolution three times. The practice harmonizes the physical and energy bodies. It reveals the universe within; you are the master and the light. Feel the natural breath without forcing it. Bring awareness to the heart and inner organs. The science of yoga balances and repairs through the body's innate intelligence. The practice encompasses the five bodies, leading to oneness. Conclude by gently moving and returning to seated awareness. "Yoga is the science of the human, and your life, or your principle, or your engineer, automatically repairing all." "You are the light of God. You are God. In that form, which you are, the five bodies and the fifth, sixth, will lead you to feel like levitation."

Don't kill Animals!

Disease arises from internalizing life's pressures, not from external forces themselves. This internal stress creates bodily pressure, a primary cause of illness. Inherited conditions also exist. The path of yoga integrates simple postures, breath control, and meditation into daily life, alongside dietary and sleep adjustments. Meditation must be approached correctly. Never strain the eyes upward, as this causes psychic problems and blocks progress. Focus gently downward or on the tip of the nose. True guidance comes from a living tradition, not solely from books. Many established religions have become blocked, relying on scripture without the living presence of the divine. The divine is within each being; every creature possesses a soul. The supreme principle is non-violence. Harming other living beings, including animals, creates suffering and negative consequences. Liberation requires aligning with this truth through compassionate living and correct inner practice. "Slowly, this internal pressure becomes the cause of many, many diseases." "Therefore, the meditation is called Nāsik, focusing on the tip of the nose. Our eyes should look gently downward." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

We should have God in our heart

True spiritual practice transcends mere preparation and intellectual knowledge. What we prepare is temporary, like a meal that is consumed and cleared away. Speaking spontaneously from within holds more power than reading from prepared notes. Different cultures have distinct traditions of greeting and respect, such as specific handshake customs or bows. These external forms, however, are less important than the inner feeling of unity and empty-handed humility they can represent. Faith is tested not by words but by genuine, heartfelt devotion. Scriptural knowledge is secondary to the direct, experiential connection with the divine, which can grant profound ability. This inner devotion is the essence that unites all genuine spiritual paths beyond religious labels. "Sometimes people shake hands saying, 'Thank you, oh God,' with a certain hand gesture—some ways are soft, some are not. This instance was not appropriate." "He said, 'Brother, I have no mantra, but I have in my heart my Lord, my God. And that’s why I could run. Sometimes I can walk on the water.'" Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Be Human

Yoga is the ancient science of unity, encompassing all life. It is not merely physical postures but the recognition of one life within all beings. This single life force animates every creature, from humans to insects, making the Earth a living mother. Within each body exists a vast kingdom of millions of lives, all governed by one soul. Death is a constant companion, yet the goal is to transcend both life and death through inner realization. God and all spiritual realities exist within, not externally. The practice requires humility, non-violence, and persistent self-purification. Ultimately, to remember "I am human" is to uphold compassion for all beings, completing the eternal journey within. "One in all and all in one." "God is not outside; it is within us." Filming locations: Auckland, New Zealand.

Only the Guru will teach us some kind of knowledge

A single word from a realized soul can ignite complete dispassion. Tulsidas was a young man deeply attached to his wife. He crossed the Yamuna at night, holding a floating corpse to reach her. His wife rebuked him, saying his intense love would be better directed to God. That single word struck him like an arrow, causing complete dispassion. He renounced all and became the poet who wrote the Ramayana. Similarly, Valmiki was a thief and killer. He met Narada, who asked him to share his sins with his family. His father, mother, and wife all refused, saying it was his karma alone. Narada gave him the mantra "Rama," but his tongue twisted it to "Mara," meaning killing. He was instructed to persist in chanting. He chanted until termites built a mound over him, and cobras passed through. He emerged as Valmiki, with knowledge of past, present, and future. This transformation came solely through guru's grace. Sanatana Dharma is eternal duty, not a religion; it protects those who protect it. The earth's balance is disturbed by human greed, and destruction looms. All personal practices are insufficient without surrendering to the guru's feet. Mirabai said that without the guru's holy feet, nothing in this world holds value. "If you had even a small part of that love for God, it would mean more than my love for you." "Guru kṛpāhi kevalam, śiṣyeka ānanda maṅgalam." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The ego pulls down completely

Human life is most beautiful when understood, leading to happiness and the capacity to give. Other creatures act without greed; a lion kills only to eat. Humans, however, collect endlessly, yet at life's end, our open palms hold nothing. We have created much good but are dominated by wanting more. This greed obscures our humanity. A mother's selfless care exemplifies true giving. We suffer because we have forgotten respect and our essential nature. To awaken, remember: "I am human." This human birth is a rare journey through countless forms. Pride turns a giver into a beggar, while humility reveals the divine. Keep your word faithfully, for a promise is sacred. Outer practices are preparatory; true spirituality is an inward journey to the self. "When I was born, my palms were closed. Something was in them." "First give them, and then us."

Traditional customs are very important

The eternal journey is about faith, divine cycles, and the inner light. Observing the moon's phases brings spiritual energy and blessings. The new moon is a time of great luck, and the eleventh day holds powerful energy for women's rituals. The full moon benefits the earth and is ideal for planting. Celebrations like Christmas involve family, tradition, and the joy of children believing in divine gifts. The tradition of lighting lamps under trees dates back to the return of Rāma. Diwali illuminates India with countless flames. God incarnates in every age, appearing as nimitta for a specific purpose and as nitya, the eternal presence within all. Different religions have holy books and figures, but the living truth is the eternal Sanātana Dharma. The guru-disciple relationship is essential; the disciple is like a drop of water that merges into the ocean of the divine. Through meditation and practice, one realizes the universe within and connects with the inner light. "Where there is a crystal, or the stone, or the diamond, the mines of the diamond will always come only diamonds." "One in all and all in one. All is in one, and all one is in one."

Path to the meditation

True meditation is the journey within, not an external projection. Most meditation involves thoughts going outward, about life or guided imagery. This is not being within oneself. People are truly within themselves for mere seconds. Thinking about being within immediately takes you outside. Even focusing on the body's comfort or discomfort means you are outside it. The goal is to go inward. There are three states of being: the awakened state, the deep sleep state, and the dream state. We must learn to enter a state of conscious, yogic sleep. This brings awareness into the body. To meditate, one must first purify the energy channels through dedicated, singular practice of prāṇāyāma, balancing the breath through the nostrils. This balances the brain. The body's chakras, connected to these channels, must be purified. The aim is to bring the entire being into a balanced, aware unity within. "Everything is your eternal journey, but not one inch out of your body—and that is your body." "If you have thoughts for outside... then our meditation is not a meditation."

Purify your all elements

God is present within every atom of existence. The world is in a time of fear, but one must be strong and turn to spiritual thought. God is not an external entity giving commands; God is within our inner thoughts and heart. This presence is eternal and everywhere, with no division of inside or outside. God resides in each cell of the human body and in all creatures of water, earth, and sky. Life itself is God, and thus God is in all. The journey requires a teacher, a guru, for guidance. A story illustrates this: a guru gave a seed to two men to safeguard. The merchant stored it away, and it was destroyed. The farmer planted it, causing it to multiply greatly. The farmer, who nurtured and made the seed grow, was deemed the true disciple. Spiritual practice, like writing and repeating a mantra, must be continuous and precise. Pronunciation matters, as a misheard word can change meaning entirely. The goal is to realize God is one within all and all within one, transcending religious names. This understanding leads to cosmic consciousness. The human journey involves purifying the five elements within the body—space, fire, air, water, and earth. This purification comes through yogic practice, which is harmony and peace, not merely physical postures. Live a good life, free from negativity and harm toward others, respecting all creatures. Your inner self is immortal. You are your own master, and the guru connects you to the divine light. "God is within ourself and within our inner thoughts." "Each and every atom, God is within us."

Eternal journey within orselves

The eternal journey is within ourselves, to understand our true nature beyond the body and mind. Close your eyes to connect with your highest self, for external sight brings disturbance. Know your breath consciously, as breath is life. We inquire: what is this life force within us that sustains us regardless of food, water, or air? It is a principle distinct from the physical body. Our body, like all creatures and plants, contains this eternal mechanism. This inner journey is reflected in the subtle energy centers, or chakras, within our spinal column. The signs on our hands and foot soles symbolize this journey and can influence family harmony or destiny. All beings contain a blend of masculine and feminine principles, but the horse is considered the complete being. Specific animals, like the cow and horse, carry purifying energies. Our body's organs are divinely duplicated for our benefit. Every cell is part of the divine, and the self is the entire cosmos. True yoga practice is an internal science to master this inner energy and realize the eternal self within. "Life is our breath, and our breath is the life." "Everything is within ourselves. And so yoga in daily life has immense science and knowledge." Filming location: Raumati Beach, New Zealand

The Eternal Journey

Yoga is the union of body, mind, and soul, leading to oneness with the cosmic reality. This is not physical exercise but a journey of self-inquiry into the eternal nature of life. All living beings possess a soul; life is one. The human form is a rare opportunity for this knowledge. Our existence arises from five elements balanced by consciousness. The sense of "I" resides in the heart, yet life permeates the entire body. Therefore, care for the body through proper diet and awareness is essential. This practice maintains harmony within our personal kingdom. The eternal journey unfolds through three states: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Consciousness travels instantly in these states, yet we are often unaware of the transitions. To live rightly, one must be awake and attentive in the waking state. A harmonious life requires balancing principles, like a husband and wife making wise decisions together for health. Avoid intoxicants and heed the body's needs. Practice happiness and non-competitive yoga. The aim is to journey within, toward the supreme reality, while living a long, healthy life. "Yoga means union, union of the body, mind, and soul." "Sleep is very important for our life." Filming location: Raumati Beach, New Zealand

How can we become a Master

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Brisbane, Australia. eople have a different tradition for eating and in the toilet in the world. High educated people held their bathroom and toilet clean. In Indian tradition, the kitchen is a temple. The food is God. People first offered the food to God. Explanation of the Indian eating mantra. After the prayer the food becomes holy. We should respect God's statue as God himself. If we are faithful Gurudev cab make us Guru. Everything is within us and not outside. There are many goddesses in us. The altar also a living one.

Two kinds of power

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Brisbane, Australia. We need power for everything. Incarnations have a weapon and also a blessing in their hands. Both Siva and Shakti is power. Now in the Kali-yuga devils are awakened. Siva is the God of the devas and devils also. The negative and positive sides also are within us. A story about a tongue and a tooth. Pranayam always must begin in the left nostril. The ocean is the power of the Earth. All five elements have their power. We need power positive but hard. During meditation, we should see our inner world. Practice and heory are completely different. When we chant OM our tongue should be relaxed.

How can we get knowledge

The eternal journey is the inner journey of consciousness towards oneness with the divine. God is within every being and every part of creation. All creatures possess the same divine essence; there is no hierarchy. Humans err by thinking themselves superior, poisoning the world which in turn poisons them. True knowledge comes from within, not from external seeking. Men and women possess equal souls and consciousness; the divine is both mother and father. Knowledge is acquired through Śruti, listening from a master, and Smṛti, committed to memory. This learning is endless, vaster than the Himalayas. The inner practice requires engaging the body and its energy through postures, breath, and meditation on the subtle nerves. Life and knowledge are an eternal flow. "God is with us, within us. Every tissue in our body is a part of God." "Knowledge has no end. This is a river; it’s going into the ocean."

Eternal journey

The eternal journey is within the Self, toward oneness with the cosmic Self. All souls, across every creature from sand flies to elephants, are equal. Life itself is God, present in the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space. These elements constitute our being. We are God, and God cannot manifest without them. To understand this, investigate your sense of self. When asked where your soul is, most point to the heart. Yet, like peeling an onion to find no core, the true "I" has no fixed location. Our body maps the journey: the feet represent earth, knees vegetation, hips animals, and the spine upward leads to human consciousness and the higher chakras. The aim is to purify the body and energy through practices like yoga and prāṇāyāma, harming no creature, to reach the highest consciousness. Life's purpose is this inner evolution. After death, elements disperse, but a purified soul journeys onward. "Life itself is God." "All souls, across every creature from sand flies to elephants, are equal."

The real meaning of Yoga

The Guru bestows the essential knowledge of liberation. Many great saints have provided this knowledge. A true master imparts wisdom without material exchange, like a driving instructor gives the skill to drive. The relationship between guru and disciple is fundamental. Various gurus exist for worldly skills, but the spiritual guru is paramount. Humans uniquely possess the capacity for knowledge, merit, and sin, unlike animals. Creation begins from the resonant sound of the Supreme, "I am One; I shall become many." From this emerges Śiva and the five elements. Yoga is the spontaneous union, the fundamental happening between space and consciousness. The grace of the Guru is the root of meditation, worship, mantra, and ultimate liberation. "Matkar moha—do not be attached." "Dhyāna mūlaṁ guru mūrtiḥ, pūjā mūlaṁ guru pādam, mantra mūlaṁ guru vākyaṁ, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpā." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

Be faithful to your path

The light of faith dispels the darkness of doubt. When the sun sets, a small flame can illuminate the night. Similarly, spiritual light is always present, even when obscured by sadness or negativity. This inner light is found in the present moment, not the past or future. All life, from stones to oceans, contains this divine presence. Humans possess a special radiance, yet often animals flee from it, sensing danger. True faith requires unwavering confidence, not just words. The relationship with a spiritual guide is singular and foundational, like that with one's mother. Practice kindness and humility, offering your seat to others, for this generosity ignites the divine light within. "Leave your hands away from the rock." "So stupid I am not." "Once you have a guru for blessings and mantras, that guru is your guru."

Pranayama balances energy in our body

This talk explains the yoga stick and the practice of prāṇāyāma. The stick is a tool for support during long meditation and prāṇāyāma, adjustable to one's height. It can also aid with back discomfort, help maintain posture, and serve as a focal point for concentration. The practice of prāṇāyāma concerns the vital energy, or prāṇa, within the body. Our physical body is nourished by food and liquid, the anna-maya-kośa. The energy that animates this body is the prāṇa-maya-kośa, which governs all functions from circulation to digestion. Imbalances in prāṇa, often caused by poor nourishment or negative emotions like anger and jealousy, lead to disease and discomfort. The practice aims to purify and balance this energy. Key techniques include feeling the breath in the nostrils and Nāḍī Śodhana, a purification practice alternating breath between nostrils. Regular practice balances the body's 72,000 nerve channels and the energies of the moon (Iḍā) and sun (Piṅgalā) leading to health and harmony. "Prāṇa is doing that. Prāṇa-maya-kośa in whole body, so there is a prāṇa." "If we practice prāṇa prāṇāyāma, then we can get all energies balanced in our body and every kind of function in the body."

You are within all and all are within you. Mefitation

The breath has four centers: below the navel, above the navel, at the lungs and vocal cords, and resonating at the top of the head. Begin with a deep inhale. Rub your palms together and place them on your face. Then place your palms down and bend forward. Relax and feel the circulation towards the brain, face, muscles, and all five energies. Slowly come up with your hands. "Just relax and feel the circulation towards the brain, the face, the muscles, the eyeballs, and all five energies." "And with your hands, slowly, slowly, slowly come up."

Yoga and Life

The human life is a precious opportunity for the soul's eternal journey. Yoga is the cosmic principle and science for health, not merely exercise. Among 8.4 million life forms, only humans possess intellect to discern good from bad and can cease the cycle of rebirth by uniting with the cosmic light. Time is abundant; one must use it wisely for spiritual practice. The soul resides within, connected to the body's centers like the navel and heart. The body contains millions of life forces, yet one primary soul seeks liberation. Practice begins with mindful awareness each morning. "Humans can do something. They have the last chance that now either you or we become one with God or the universe, and we will come back no more." "When we wake up in the morning... Say only one word... 'I am human.'... the whole day, your time, your day will be very happy and very good."

Yogic Anatomy

The sound Om harmonizes everything in nature and within us. Yogic practice seeks balance through understanding the five sheaths of our being. The first is the physical body, Annamaya Kośa, formed by nourishment. From this comes energy, Prāṇamaya Kośa, which can be positive or negative based on our thoughts and diet. The third sheath is the mind, Manomaya Kośa, a powerful force that can be trained. Following this is the sheath of knowledge and intelligence. The fifth is freedom from karma. True yoga involves harmonizing these layers. Practice should be slow and exact, focusing on a few postures, breathwork, and meditation to access inner energy and peace. Medicine has its place, but for minor issues, reliance on it is discouraged. The goal is to look within, where the entire universe resides. "Our body, composed of five elements, is called the body of nourishment." "Prāṇa is the energy, and prāṇa we can also say is life." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

The farewell of the Soul

The soul's journey requires a guide to reach the supreme reality, Brahman. People act only for this life, not knowing what comes after. We need a master, like a navigator, to guide us to the Brahmalokas. The master never dies, as the body is merely a dress; the soul is eternal. Nothing truly dies; the five elements simply merge back into themselves. The human purpose is to achieve liberation. Traditional life stages provide a path: Brahmacharya (student until 25), Gṛhastha (householder until 50), Vānaprastha (retreat to the forest until 75), and finally Sannyāsa (renunciation). However, true renunciation (vairāgya) can come at any age if one is detached. Life tortures us with desires and ailments, but following dharma protects us. A story illustrates detachment: a queen gives her son a ring inscribed "this day will go," teaching him that both joy and sorrow are transient. "The master never dies. Second, you also do not die. The body is not the master. The body is not a student or a disciple. It is only a dress." "If you will follow the dharma, dharma will protect you. If you will not follow the dharma, the dharma will not protect you." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

God will not forget us

The resonance of life is found in the mother tongue and the divine sound. Dharma is not religion; it is universal qualities like humility and kindness. A high spiritual title, like Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar, is earned through such dharma. The first knowledge comes from the mother. The mother tongue is the original language spoken to a child in the womb, representing primal communication. This connects to the concept of Nāda Brahman: the supreme reality is sound. This divine resonance is in all creation and manifests through our speech, which can be positive or negative. Life is sustained by water, which is synonymous with life itself. Our inner being has multiple layers, from the physical body to the vital energy and the soul. The ultimate goal is realizing oneness, the non-duality expressed as Yoga. The human form is the highest creation, capable of connecting with the supreme through knowledge and love. This connection is guided by the inner Guru, the master of consciousness. "Where there is water, there is life. Where there is no water, we will die." "The supreme, the highest, is the sound. And this sound is negative and positive." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

Residence of the Soul

Our hands hold energy we can awaken through simple exercises, not miracles. Open your palms and feel the sensation. Bring them close without touching to awaken inner energy centers for self-healing. Practice this briefly anywhere to relieve tiredness. Further steps involve pressing the wrist to affect circulation, demonstrating our innate bodily energy. This is part of yoga for health, costing nothing. The human being is complex, like a nation containing many life forces, not just one soul. We consist of five layers: the physical body, the energy sheath, the mental sheath, the intellectual sheath, and the bliss sheath. True knowledge dawns from within through contemplation, not just argument. The Vedas are eternal knowledge, with meanings revealed through humility and a teacher's guidance, leading to inner realization and harmony. "Look. How is it happening in our body? Our palms are open. Do you feel a sensation in the hands, the palms and fingers?" "In the Bhagavad-gītā, Śrī Kṛṣṇa says, 'One who has that approach, for that one who has this approach, for him I am never lost, and for me that disciple is never lost.'"

Practice every day

The inner life of yoga begins with the mother and the embryo. Practice starts in the womb, where the mother is the first teacher, communicating through thought, speech, and action. This early education shapes the child's development. Yoga is the union of consciousness and space, the fundamental principle from which all elements arise. The sound of the universe, Nādarūpa Parabrahma, is the supreme resonance that touches our origin. Our inner resonance, expressed through words and feelings, creates harmony or discord. True meditation turns inward, beyond external visualization, to confront the inner self. The body is a universe of life, requiring natural nourishment and care. Yoga in daily life means listening to the body, practicing without force, and integrating beneficial techniques while maintaining inner awareness. "Yoga means union. Union with, but still, what is there?" "The sound is God. Sound is supreme. Sound is the resonance on our whole bodies, on the earth, in the water, in the air, everywhere, everywhere."

Atma is spotless

One word transmits a message to all, like rain falling equally on every creature. In difficulty, know you are carried by God, not abandoned. A true yogi, beyond all ritual, desires nothing, not even from Shiva. The soul is spotless, like the endless sky. Our body is a temporary shell; the eternal Ātmā within is one with the Guru's heart. Purification is for the mind, but the soul itself is already pure. "When the difficult time comes, then you should know that you are now with God." "Ask anything. He said, 'Okay, if you want to ask me anything, then get up.' What he said to Shiva, 'Go from here.'" Filming location: Dungog, New South Wales, Australia

Meditate on Gurudev's form

The eternal Guru is the supreme reality above Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. God is one, appearing through different names and forms. Both formless and form are equal, as taught by Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa. Brahmā creates, Viṣṇu protects, Śiva brings forth, but they too are bound. Brahmā searched for Viṣṇu and failed, becoming disappointed. Śiva declared: “I created Viṣṇu and Brahmā, I am self-manifested.” The Trimūrti functions, yet the eternal one is the Guru. The Guru is Parabrahma. The root of meditation is the Guru’s form. The root of worship is the Guru’s feet. The root of mantra is the Guru’s word. The root of liberation is the Guru’s grace. Incarnation is of two kinds: Nimitta, occasional, and Nitya, the eternal Guru. The Guru guides like a pilot, beyond worldly knowledge. Holding onto the Guru is essential; without roots, one loses everything. Meditate only on the Guru’s form, not on outward sights. Follow only the mantra given by the Guru. Liberation comes solely through Guru’s grace. “Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ.” “Dhyāna Mūlaṁ Guru Mūrti, Pūjā Mūlaṁ Guru Pādaṁ, Mantra Mūlaṁ Guru Vākyaṁ, Mokṣa Mūlaṁ Guru Kṛpā.” Filming location: Sydney, Australia

Do not cause pain for any creature

The science of the human is achieving oneness with the Cosmic One. Most seek heaven through good deeds, meaning not to torture any creature. All life consumes life; the snake eats the frog, the frog eats the fly. This is jīva jīva bhakṣate. Existence began from space and consciousness, between which a balance emerged. This resonant balance is Śiva. From resonance came sound, from sound came light, and from light came vibration, leading to the duality of Śiva and Śakti. The five elements constitute our sheaths, and upon separation, these elements return to themselves; nothing dies but changes form. The human duty is ahiṃsā, non-violence, the highest principle to return to the cosmic self. The body contains chakras connecting to earth, plants, and animals. The human consciousness begins at the root, the mūlādhāra. The soul is not singular; each cell has life, yet all together form one complete Ātmā. This soul enters through the navel. True yoga is the science of sound and resonance within, not merely physical postures. Chanting OM correctly involves the whole being, from the navel to the crown. "Jīva jīva bhakṣate. This one creature is killing and eating others." "Ahimsā paramo dharma. Non-violence is the highest principle to come to the cosmic self." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

The form of the Supreme is the resonance

The supreme reality is the form of sound, a divine resonance that is our eternal nature. This sound is oneness, dissolving all duality and negativity. It exists within the heart, in a subtle cave where the true self resides. This life force is present in all beings, from humans to the smallest insects and plants. Our desires often seek painful joys, which are slow poisons that obscure awareness. Spiritual practice and the Guru's grace are a continuous river following the soul across lifetimes. A seed planted by the master will grow, carrying the potential for awakening. The quality of our spoken sound shapes our reality. Kind, pleading words carry a positive resonance that melts the heart, while harsh words create conflict and negativity. To receive the Guru's vision is to be purified, liberating one from all sins and impurities. Constant remembrance of the divine name brings clarity, making all worldly pleasures seem tasteless. Singing these truths leads one beyond the ocean of worldly existence into liberation. "Where there is duality, there is still negativity, and when there is no duality, it is oneness." "Your words are so pleasant for me to hear, what you are talking about, what you are giving."

Mastery your sleep and dreams

The first gods are the mother and father, followed by the teacher or guru. The ancient teaching is "Mātṛi Devo Bhava," meaning the mother is the highest God. The second is "Pitṛi Devo Bhava," the father. They gave us life and are holy for all creatures. The word 'Guru' means one who dispels darkness ('gu') with light ('ru'). The mother is the first guru, speaking to the child in the womb, giving the mother tongue. The father, friends, and school teachers are also gurus. Anyone who teaches us something—riding a bike, swimming, or in school—is a master. We must respect all masters. Without respect, knowledge is lost. The guru is the knowledge itself, not the body. This knowledge passes from master to student, mother to child. Human life has a higher purpose: to achieve union with the Supreme. This requires a spiritual master. Humans can rise or fall based on their actions, understanding good and bad, which animals do not. We have many masters in worldly life. True yoga is mastering the mind and consciousness across waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states. This leads to the bliss of the Self. "First, it is said in the Upaniṣads: 'Mātṛi Devo Bhava.' The mother is the highest." "'Gu' means darkness. Ignorance means we do not know. And 'Ru' means light, knowledge, clarity." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

Celebration of Indian Republic Day with Vishwaguruji

The culture of love and learning within a school is eternal. The teachers uphold the nation's and the children's culture. The children are taught sāttvik practices, including a vegetarian diet and morning prayer. Parents must also abstain from alcohol, meat, and milk to avoid disease. The parents are the primary shapers of the child, like a potter with clay, before the gurus impart life and sacred duty. The nation's future depends on protecting its culture and educating with love.

Bhajo re Manva

The truth of a devotee's life is fearless and leads to immortality. Why fear this truth? Exemplary devotees like Dhruva and Harishchandra never abandoned righteousness, even when tested. Kabir and Mirabai demonstrated this fearless devotion, attaining the immortal state. The Pandavas, though opposed, were true devotees whose names are remembered. This immortal state is granted by the true Guru, received through grace at the divine feet. The devotee's truth is real, so why feel anxious in the heart? Achieve that imperishable, immortal body.

Chanting Oṃ from the navel to the crown chakra makes meditation peaceful. Prāṇāyāma serves physical health and yogic consciousness. Modern practice often focuses only on postures, but yoga has no competition; challenge arises from ego. True practice is for all, not only ascetics. Laziness is not yoga. The body contains 72,000 nāḍīs, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā being primary. These channels influence health and mind. The Viśuddhi Cakra purifies poison, like anger, which harms the body. Unresolved anger causes suffering in relationships and health. Small grievances create major pain; clear them immediately. Inner purification through the chakras cleanses negativity. Practice requires discipline, not using meditation as an escape. The face reveals one's inner state; nothing can be hidden. Various yogas lead to supreme consciousness. Meditation means focusing only on the mantra to find inner peace. "According to yogic sādhanā, if we can understand what yoga is, then the first path is definitely Aum." "In yoga, there is no competition and no challenge. We do not give the challenge. If you want to give the challenge, then it means you have lost, because now you are the ego."

For meditation we need calmness

True meditation requires deep inner stillness, not mere restlessness disguised as practice. Discipline is essential, yet restlessness persists. The Guru's grace is fundamental for liberation, not divine beings. Stories illustrate this: Ramakrishna was told by the Divine Mother that only his Guru could grant moksha. Similarly, a disciple's purity and surrender are tested, as gossip and negativity spoil devotion like lemon in milk. Meditation demands mastering the three states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. One must journey inward through the body's subtle centers, represented by letters and chakras. Surrender is key, as shown in the allegory of the bamboo willingly cut by God to become a flute and later a channel for the Ganga. The aim is to reach a state of silent, vibrationless awareness. "Mother, give me that liberation." She said, "I cannot give you that moksha which only the Gurudeva can give." "God, I love you, but I am so afraid." God said, "Don't worry, my dear, I love you, but I will chip your whole trunk." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Union with the Cosmic Self

Yoga is the creator of the entire universe, not merely physical postures. The goal is to become one with the cosmic Self. The soul cycles through 8.4 million life forms; a human birth is a rare chance for progress. Do not attach to worldly things. The soul is inherently pure but is burdened by personal karma. One word of truth from a great saint can offer ultimate protection. All spiritual practice, including the eight limbs of yoga, serves this liberation. "Yoga has created the whole universe. It has created, is creating, and will create." "The soul is the soul. Sūrya's light is Sūrya's light. Water is water, whether it is clean or dirty." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The Eternal Source: Śiva, Yoga, and the Nature of Creation

Yoga originates from the primordial resonance, not from recent history. The universe teems with countless creatures in water, earth, and sky. All creation emanates from Swayambhū Śiva, the self-existent principle born of the five elements. The first manifestation was sound, Nādarūpa Parabrahma, the resonant consciousness that permeates everything. From this resonance, the principles of sound, consciousness, and balance harmonize into yoga. This unity is ancient, predating any modern timeline. Śiva is the original Yogeśvara, who held the cosmic poison through prāṇāyāma, transforming it. True yoga is not mere physical exercise but the pursuit of cosmic consciousness through disciplines like Haṭha Yoga. A genuine yogī, as illustrated in the tale of the Haṭha Yogī, desires nothing, not even from Śiva. The practice is for all stages of life, aiming for inner oneness beyond worldly loss. "Yoga begins there. First is the resonance, and that is called yoga." "A genuine Haṭha Yogī is alien to Śiva. He desires nothing." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The essence of spiritual steadfastness is inner development, not titles or travel. Self-confidence is foundational; without it, motivation fails and the future dims. The science of yoga, given by Śiva, leads to higher consciousness. A realized sādhu, like a deep ocean or the sun, provides light while remaining steadfast. Spiritual titles exist for practical duties, like spreading teachings or gathering support, but the core is inner achievement. True mastery is measured by devotion and unity with the Guru's grace, not by intellect or organization. A master's quality is non-dual love for all disciples. External forms like ashrams are supports, but the seed is inner bhakti. Protect the dharma, yet do not cling to dress or form. The pure heart, filled with devotion, naturally overflows. "Water should stay in one place if it is very deep, like an ocean." "When in your heart that devotion, Guru Bhakti, is complete, it is pūrṇa. Then that Guru Kṛpā is raining, showering on us."

The Discipline of Devotion and the Path to the Supreme

The path to the Supreme unfolds through discipline, devotion, and the dissolution of ego. Discipline governs even mundane acts, like keeping a spoon in hand while drinking tea. A devotee broke a leaf without permission and was questioned for not asking first. Service performed with reverence yields fruit, but awareness of small karmas is essential. Forgiveness must be absolute; a sage nearing death refused to leave the body until the knot with a man who had mocked him was untied. That man had compared the sage's beard to a donkey's tail, yet the sage sought him out to grant forgiveness. Karma is exact: both sin and virtue return to the doer at the appointed time. God gives freedom to act, but the results must be faced. Heaven offers only temporary enjoyment; the true goal is Brahmaloka, merging with the Supreme. Ego destroys even the learned; Ravana fell despite his knowledge. A naked yogi at a cremation ground refused any gift from Shiva, wanting nothing. That yogi's lack of desire showed that karma follows one's own will. The consequences of eating animals return in equal measure; each action binds the soul. Humans alone have the capacity to realize Brahman, unlike other births. Religious division arises from ego; all paths ultimately lead to the one center. A tree witnessed a sage's presence, confirming that even nature recognizes the divine. Thus, human birth is for becoming part of Brahman. “One who commits sin will receive its result, and one who does good will also receive that.” “My body is about to be released, but when such a knot of mine existed, I will not leave the body without untying it.” Filming location: Khatu, Rajasthan, India

Public lecture from Split

Yoga is an eternal light of consciousness within all. This knowledge was transmitted through a lineage from the Himalayas. The system called Yoga in Daily Life emphasizes simplicity for everyday application. It arrived in this region decades ago, beginning with seminars that expanded across cities. Centers now operate in several locations, integrating into community life through university courses, public programs, and humanitarian actions. The practice is dedicated to peace, marked by multi-religious prayers and the planting of trees as symbols. It is a system for all, aiming for holistic health accessible in any setting. "The light of yoga and Sanātana Dharma settled here thirty-five years ago, and since then, it has never ceased to shine." "Yoga is actually an evolution of our consciousness toward the light."

The Eternal Presence: On Mahāśramādhi and the Light Within

The nature of a great being's departure is not an absence but a merging into universal presence. Brahmalīna signifies the soul entering oneness with the highest consciousness. Such beings remain present on every level of vision for all. We receive more light through devotion, like sunlight entering an open window. Ordinary death brings grief from a sense of loss, but for those with true Self-knowledge, it is different. There is a transient ātmā jñāna, easily lost in conflict, and the final, stable knowledge at life's end. We cry from our own emotion, not because they are gone; the Brahman is always present. They move from being with us externally to residing within our heart and memory. This light of presence is global, like that of Jesus, sustained by devotion. God is one, manifesting differently; dualistic division causes suffering. We remember in our whole being. The body disappears, but we do not. "Brahmalīna: 'Brahma' means Brahman, the highest consciousness. It signifies that the ātmā, the soul, enters into oneness with the whole universe." "God is only one, but is manifesting differently in the whole." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The konwledge of ancient yogis

The path to Brahmalīna unfolds through stages of mantra perfection. Brahmalīna means merging into the infinite, like a drop returning to the ocean. Purification of the soul is essential. The first stage is Likhit, writing the mantra. Second is Vākī, speaking it aloud. Third is Upāṃśu, where only the lips move. Fourth is Mānasik, mental repetition. Fifth is Ajapā, automatic constant japa, continuing even in sleep. The mind wanders; mantra steadies it. Yoga is eternal, before all religions. Sanātana dharma encompasses all existence. Ego destroys; humility preserves. A yogi taught a proud principal: a small fruit falling from a big tree shows divine design; a large fruit would have harmed. Science is limited; God’s knowledge is endless. One must practice yoga daily without competition. The Vedas once lived through hearing and memory, now diminished in this age. Stay in the boat of the guru’s instruction. “The mind does not die; everything else will die.” “Your research is only limited. But God’s research is endless.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Yoga and nature is one

Yoga is the science of humans and a natural way of life. Its first principle is vegetation, which is Āyurveda, an ancient medicine from the Yugas. Modern medicine, while life-saving, is chemical and not fully accepted by the natural body, unlike remedies from plants. Our way of eating has been lost, and white sugar is a major cause of disease. The tongue enslaves us to taste, leading to illness. Āyurveda encompasses diet and was once so advanced it included surgeries like those on the brain. Yoga is not acrobatics; it is a scientific system for a long, healthy life. Many practice it incorrectly, which can cause harm. True yoga involves physical exercise, breathing, concentration, and meditation. We are all God, and our actions determine our fate. The practice should be shared freely for community health. "Yoga is the science of humans. Yoga is a natural way of life." "If we do good, we will get good. If we do bad, we will go bad." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Awakening of the knowledge

Awareness is the light that dispels forgetfulness. Chetan is awakened awareness; achetan is sleeping forgetfulness. The awake one sees the snake and alerts the others. Prayer is a dialogue with the guru, not a diagnosis. Light is knowledge, and the guru reflects that light. Devotion means total surrender to the guru’s command. The guru’s protection follows the disciple everywhere. Life is fleeting; the soul departs like a falling star. The body is a puppet-case from which the soul flies. Year-end calls for examining mental impressions. Positive thinking and humility are essential. Anger and attachment discard good qualities. The divine light dwells within all beings. All faiths converge in one positive principle. In this Kali Yuga, confusion and suffering abound. Prepare the heart for the coming year with vigilance. Life concludes swiftly; settle your spiritual accounts. "Chetan kā chilka means light, a reflection; knowledge is that One." "We are having a dialogue with Guru Dev, not a diagnosis."

The health of the bones

Holy water is a gift of purification for all occasions, representing positive thought and clean energy. Physical and mental dust are constant, requiring regular cleansing like washing the hands. The body's skin is a sensitive, self-cleaning organ that must be cared for naturally. Avoid artificial products like commercial creams, lipsticks, and soaps containing alcohol, which dry and damage the skin. Use pure water, natural oils, butter, or earth instead. The physical body, the annamaya kośa, is sustained by vegetarian food and simple daily practices. Yoga āsanas and prāṇāyāma are essential for health, focusing on gentle movement over extreme postures. Strengthen bones with natural oils and ghee, not through meat consumption. Practice simple exercises regularly, even for seconds at a time, to maintain the body. True care comes from natural substances and consistent, moderate practice.

How to think of black magic

Fear is an illusion created and exploited by those claiming power over magic and ghosts. People are frightened by tales of black magic and spirits. Many claim they can remove such curses. If you believe in God, then trust that God provides only good. Yet, some seek power for money and influence, which only breeds more fear. Two stories illustrate this deception. In one, a magician exploits a grieving widow, claiming to send her possessions to her deceased husband in heaven. Her returning son exposes the fraud, showing the items were simply stolen. In another, a village fears a ghost in a house. The perceived specter is merely moonlight on a white chimney. Fear alone creates the terror, not any real entity. Your own faith and mantra are your protection. Fear is the only true enemy, weakening and harming you from within. "Jantar, mantra, jādu, ṭonā, sab kī sab bandhan kāṭo." "Therefore, when you have mantra, you have bhajans, you have gurus... who can kill you through the magic? No, no. But killed is your fear." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

How to sing Bhajan correctly

Control is the foundation of satsaṅg; through control comes oneness and peace. In satsaṅg, let the designated singer sing first; others wait and join later. This holding back builds power. Patañjali taught anuśāsanam, discipline of the indriyas. Without control, some move and disturb, preventing others’ enjoyment. A story illustrates: A camel and a fox were friends. The fox said he could not control screaming after eating. In a farm, he screamed, and farmers beat the camel. This repeated. Finally, crossing water, the camel said it could not control rolling and rolled, almost drowning the fox. The fox then understood control. Control requires mantra discipline. There are five stages: writing the mantra repeatedly, pronouncing it aloud, moving lips silently, mental repetition alone, and then the mantra vibrating in every cell. Hanumān’s every hair sounded ‘Rām Rām’. This is oneness. Do not change your mantra; persist. Through this, peace and bliss arise in satsaṅg. "Atha yogānuśāsanam. First is the control, anuśāsanam." "In each and every cell of Hanumān, the voice of Rāma vibrated." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

How to become a Sanyas

The call to sannyāsa is a call to inner sādhanā. To take the dress is nothing; the color must be in the heart. The practice begins then, not a state of supremacy. Many think of a partner, but partnerships are like rentals, temporary. God is the eternal partner, giving eternity without payment. There is only one door to the eternal: divine practice. Some practice day and night, and their one day’s sādhanā can serve for a year. Inner sādhanā means not forgetting God in daily rush. Many unknown saints exist; they go unacknowledged. True quality is seen in a person’s practice, not in status. Sing bhajan and do karma yoga simultaneously, listening deeply. Mahāprabhujī’s Śoham mantra transforms the crow into a swan, purifying. Humanity has destroyed nature’s balance, causing disease and infertility. Saints protect humanity and life, not fighting over religion. Sannyāsa is hard work; monasteries demand constant effort, not just prayer. Married life is also difficult; rare couples persist. The path is like iron forged in fire: painful but makes a beautiful ornament; then the charaṇaraj becomes sacred. "Satguru Sat Saṅkhyārī Luvāvī, Satguru Sat Saṅkhyārī." "Kya tum jāno hāl hamārā?
