Words have immense power to create or destroy. We are one human family; suffering anywhere is our own. A morning tsunami brought great sadness, reminding us of our shared heart. True unity comes from feeling others' pain as our own. Collective prayer is a powerful support, not through material gifts but through heartfelt words of peace and love. Yet many carry an inner tsunami of hatred and ego, more destructive than any physical wave. This inner turmoil pollutes the intellect and breeds violence in the world. Cultivating non-violence begins with mastering speech. A story illustrates this: an insult from a single moment of thoughtless laughter ignited a great war, causing immense suffering. A wound from words can last a lifetime, while a physical wound heals. Therefore, speak only words that bring happiness and harmony. Before speaking, overthink. Silence often reveals wisdom. What you carry in your heart's pocket, you give to the world. If God resides there, you give love and light. If ego resides there, you give destruction. The heart must be like a deep ocean—peaceful at its depth despite surface storms. Discover the inner ocean of bliss. Kill the ego and live a divine life. The orange robe of a monk is not mere cloth; it is a skin of commitment, representing a lifelong walk through fire, demanding impeccable integrity. Your spoken word is a vow; value it even at the cost of your life. Speech can shatter hearts; one must strive to mend them. Ultimately, positive, eternal forces prevail. Non-violence is the highest principle—do not harm anyone through thought, word, or deed. Every thought and word returns to you like a boomerang. "Someone said, if you are hurt by a weapon or a knife, in time the wound will heal. But if you are hurt by words in your heart, that wound will not heal for a lifetime." "Ahiṃsā paramo dharma: non-violence is the highest principle. Non-violence is the highest religion." Filming locations: Alexandria, Virginia, United States.

Integrating yoga into daily life is the path. General instructions are given; apply them according to personal capacity. The worldly ocean awaits, filled with challenges; learn to navigate it skillfully. When feeling imbalanced, pause advanced practices and focus on foundational āsanas, Karma Yoga, and Bhakti Yoga. These are most suitable. Bhakti should be expansive, directed toward all living beings, not a narrow devotion. The highest forms are guru bhakti, selfless service, self-knowledge, and discipline. This science of daily yoga is entrusted to you for practice and sharing. Teaching this understanding is the greatest help, greater than material gifts. Do not measure spiritual progress, as this breeds ego. Life is a field of karma where one must cultivate good and weed out the bad; one cannot and should not run from it. Māyā, or illusion, appears in countless forms to distract from the path. It is pervasive, like a mirage. Desire for supernatural powers, or siddhis, is dangerous and feeds the ego, though such powers can be used compassionately by saints to relieve genuine suffering. Have no temptations or expectations, though natural hopes for health and harmony remain. Dedicate life to service, settle all karmic debts, and seek forgiveness from all before departure. Follow the master's instructions faithfully; they are the captain guiding the boat across the ocean. Do not abandon the path. "Just do your karma, and do not expect the fruits." "O Lord, I have given all responsibility of this life into your hands."

Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul for health and unity. It is a universal, practical path, not a religion or dogma. Its principles lead to a happy, harmonious life through love and understanding. God is omnipresent, manifesting in various forms to serve and liberate. All creation is of one God, making non-violence the highest principle. To understand God, one must first ask "Who am I?" Yoga widens consciousness, making one humble, creative, and complete, realizing God as love. Each person relates to God uniquely, and all are right. Freedom from inner negative qualities is true liberation, as suffering stems from our own habits. The universe contains positive and negative forces; every being's destination is union with the divine. Humans seek happiness, but it is found within through calmness, not in external pursuits. Simple living and higher thinking reveal true happiness in wisdom. The soul engages in action through the body, creating karma. Positive actions produce light and love; service is greater than prayer. Negative actions create darkness and suffering. Yoga aims to make humans aware, free from fear and negativity, and to create health. Harmonize with nature; do not destroy it. Health requires a healthy environment, not just personal care. Practice includes postures for vitality, correct breathing for mental peace, and meditation. It creates disciplined, peaceful communities. Yoga is the way to God, oneself, and health for all, regardless of belief. Practice it daily. "God is present everywhere; nowhere is a space where there’s no God?" "Love your neighbor means the whole creation. Love them, if not more, then at least that much, as much as you love yourself." Filming locations: Liberec, Czech Republic.

The true self is the singular reality indwelling all forms. My Gurudev gave the hint to realize this true self. That one reality is hidden within everything, like oil in seeds or fire in alcohol. You are that reality. You are the temple, the deity, and the pilgrim. You are every holy place. This reality is equally present in all creatures. Realizing this unity ends conflict. You are the mantra, the devotion, and the listener of your own glory. The self says "I am." You are in me and I am in you; separation is the cause of suffering. Realization liberates; theory is insufficient. Practice meditation to experience unity in all perception. In essence, there are no attributes like male or female; both conscious principles are inseparable and equal. All living beings possess the self. "Arjuna, I am in everyone equally, in the dog, in the cow, in the common man, and in the yogī." "You are in me, and I am in you."

The spiritual path requires independent practice, faith, and discernment. Practice is paramount; treat your spiritual practices with adoration and respect as if they are divine. Chanting mantra aloud aids concentration and dispels thoughts. An altar is a holy place for inner consultation, a bridge from form to the formless. True understanding of a master's words requires complete listening and the removal of doubt, which is like sand in a salad. Faith must be a pure love for wisdom, not worldly attachment. Spiritual independence means not relying on others to filter wisdom for you; use your discernment to extract essence from all teachings, as a swan separates milk from water. Respect all holy incarnations and scriptures, seeing the one reality in all paths. Feel responsibility for the entire society as you do for your own family; the inner and outer worlds reflect each other. "For a practitioner, for the aspirant, the practices are like God." "Doubts are the only obstacles."

Truth is ultimately unshakeable and always victorious. I began this work with the conviction that truth cannot be hidden; it will always emerge. I have traveled widely, even to places where speaking of God was forbidden, yet I faced no difficulties because I held one thought: the Guru always protects you. Be fearless and without doubt. A story illustrates this: a king, Hiraṇyakaśyapu, sought immortality through a boon that he could not be killed by any known means. He declared himself God and forbade worship. His son, Prahlāda, was a devoted bhakta who continually sang God's name despite his father's persecution. The king finally threatened him before a red-hot iron pillar. As Prahlāda embraced it, the pillar burst open, revealing the Narasiṁha Avatāra—a half-man, half-lion form of God—who killed the king at twilight in a doorway, thus fulfilling the boon's conditions and liberating the kingdom. This victory of truth is celebrated. The lesson is to surrender completely with love, which is the only power that can bind even God. Purify your heart of negativity, for God resides where there is love and sincere dedication. Giving yourself fully is different from merely saying you will. "Be fearless and without any doubts. Never be afraid." "God carries His disciples, His devotees, on His palm very carefully." Filming location: Budapest, Hungary

The human life is a rare and precious opportunity for realization. The journey of the soul through limitless universes is unknown, but this human form alone can recognize God. This chance is a diamond not to be wasted, for life continues after death in forms determined by one's own deeds through body, mind, and word. One must direct all functions toward God to become free. The destination for all is God, but destiny is self-created. This life is temporary; we cannot take anything from it. To prolong a healthy life, live with discipline through yoga. Humans must be more than animals; they are protectors and examples of divine light. Value the soul, not just the body. Practice satsaṅg, the company of truth, which brings peace, and avoid negative company which brings suffering. Do not try to escape life; pray for a long life to attain realization. You must help yourself; while grace exists, complete devotion is required. The key to the afterlife is your mantra; practice it until it becomes spontaneous. Inquire into your purpose. Lead a pure, vegetarian life, for you cannot give life and thus have no right to take it. "God is everywhere. There is nothing, there is nowhere, a small empty space in this universe where there is no God." "The key to our heavenly flat is the mantra. And the address of that is just God, so do not lose the key." Filming locations: Budapest, Central Hungary, Hungary.

True connection is a matter of love, not physical proximity. The body is not the reality; love transcends distance while ignorance and hate create division. I recall a story of an ox named Sanjo, separated from the woman who raised him. Driven by love and memory, he endured a long, perilous journey home to her. This illustrates that every creature feels this soul-to-soul connection. To break it is a great sin. Humans, however, are often dominated by greed and negative energy, which animals can sense. This makes us dangerous to each other. Spiritual education is essential, as sustainability cannot exist without spirituality. The seed of love is planted in the heart, but the seed of greed is planted in the intellect. Greed, once implanted, can make a person destroy even family, as seen in the story of Kaṁsa from the Mahābhārata, who was corrupted by ambition and killed his own nephews. We must root out greed through discernment and cultivate the heart's love through devotion. The happiness found in that spiritual shelter cannot be found elsewhere. "God is love, and love is God. If we develop such feelings, we are very near our destination." "Mother Earth has enough for everyone’s need, but not for everyone’s greed." Filming location: USA

Yoga is the ancient science of achieving union and harmony. It begins with the body and breath, leading to relaxation, concentration, and higher states. All beings carry the light of the Cosmic Self within; we are part of this universal one. Our individual existence is governed by the five elements, and their imbalance causes physical and mental impurities. The soul is singular in a body, and it departs according to destiny, shaped by karma. Self-realization, merging the soul with the eternal light, is only possible in a human life. Therefore, our first duty is to maintain health through yoga and right living, enabling a long life dedicated to this purpose. A healthy body and peaceful mind allow compassion to flourish, making one a uniting force. This practice awakens divine love, leading to the realization that God is within, culminating in eternal peace. "Yoga is one of the most ancient sciences of the body, mind, consciousness, and soul." "The sense of life is that you know who can't walk, a small one, you give your finger to support to walk." Filming location: New York, USA

Awakening consciousness through yoga requires moving beyond its common perception as mere physical exercise. Yoga's introduction to the West passed through phases of misunderstanding, from associations with fakirs to the hippie movement, before being embraced for health and concentration. It has since become a system for well-being and stress management, though commercialization can compromise its quality. Consciousness exists at different levels, and we daily dwell between unconscious, subconscious, and conscious states. Our future is governed by past tendencies stored in the subconscious. The present moment must be met with alert awareness, filtering past impressions to retain only the positive. Through āsana, prāṇāyāma, and meditation, one can purify the subconscious, balance the mind, and actively work to shape a better future. True practice harmonizes body, mind, and soul, modeling one's own destiny. "Past is past. Don’t waste your time thinking about the past." "Do not dream of the future, but be conscious, alert, and aware of the present situation." Filming locations: New York, New York, United States.

Yoga is the unifying energy that harmonizes the cosmos and the individual. Creation arises from the balance of infinite space and pure consciousness, held together by divine energy. This primordial vibration manifests as sound, light, and the elements. The individual soul journeys through cycles of action and reaction, bound by karma. Through yoga and disciplined practice, one can calm the inner turmoil of revenge and desire, fostering peace. True education begins in the family and cultivates ethical intellect. Physical practices like Agnisāra and Nauli Kriyā support health, while fasting purifies the body. The ultimate aim is harmony, leading the soul back to its universal origin. "Yoga is that energy or that principle which balances, harmonizes, and unites the entire universe." "Peace begins from your own heart. From fighting, peace will never come."

The cosmic dance of Śiva and the path of bhakti reveal universal consciousness and the transformative power of abhiṣeka. Bharatanatyam temple dance expresses devotion, cosmic mystery, and yoga’s aim of joy and liberation. Mahāśivapurāṇa teaches that Sadāśiva, the formless Brahman, manifests creation through the liṅga and divine symbols. Brahmā’s mind-born sons renounced, leading to creation of Manu and Śatarūpā. Śiva consciousness is truth, beauty, liberation—beyond religious divides. All beings form one family of the Supreme Śiva. Satsaṅga births detachment and wisdom; kusaṅga breeds negativity. Abhiṣeka infuses life into stone, making it Śiva consciousness. Daily abhiṣeka with water and Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra purifies and protects. The mantra seeks a peaceful, effortless exit like ripe fruit falling. Śiva as Bholenāth forgives all mistakes with maternal mercy. Even acts of theft or ignorance become worship through total dedication. The Śiva family—Gaṇeśa, Kārttikeya, Pārvatī, Nandī, Nāgarāja—embodies full divine companionship. Heartfelt devotion surpasses ritual correctness. The cosmic dance and abhiṣeka guide towards liberation. Blessings flow to those approaching with pure intention. “Vairāgya konī hove lāl binā satsaṅg.” “Shiva means consciousness, Shiva means liberation, Shiva means beauty, the truth, Satyam Śivam Sundaram.” Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Tomorrow night begins the observance of Mahāśivarātri, a prolonged period for prayer and abhiṣeka. We will host a satsaṅg with bhajans, dance, lectures, and films. The abhiṣeka ritual involves pouring a mixture of milk and water from a small vessel over a Śiva Liṅgam while chanting the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra. This mantra purifies the intellect, removing afflictions and distractions. Śiva represents pure consciousness and the universal principle; the Liṅgam is a symbol of the entire universe, not a gender symbol. Perform the abhiṣeka with feeling, making a personal wish for purification or peace. Offerings like fruits or flowers should be placed beside the Liṅgam, though petals may be placed on it. Those with personal Liṅgams may bring them for blessing. The ritual water should later be poured onto trees. The practice is about inner feeling and respect, performed in the presence of Śiva's divine family. "Śiva signifies consciousness in its pure state. Śiva means liberation." "Perform the abhiṣeka slowly and with real feeling; otherwise, it has no meaning."

Śivarātri reveals the holy heart. The Pañcākṣara mantra Oṃ Namaḥ Śivāya holds the entire universe. Oṃ is the first cosmic sound, Svayambhū, manifesting as light, Śivajyoti. The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra purifies negative qualities and thoughts. First purified are manas, buddhi, citta, and ahaṃkāra. Then mala, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa are purified. Āvaraṇa is the curtain of ignorance covering clarity. Tri‑tāpa—adhyātmik, adhibhautik, adhidevik—are three fires of trouble. A hunter unknowingly offered leaves and water to a Śiva Liṅga. Śiva mistook the angry offerings for devout abhiṣeka. Deer made promises to return, and kept their word. Compassion arose, and the hunter refused to kill them. Every heart is holy; God dwells in every heart. The heart where God speaks is especially holy. Humbleness brings greatness; pride brings downfall. Anger is a fire that can burn all spiritual progress. “Sab Ghaṭ Mera Sanya — in every heart is my Lord, even my enemy or my friend.” “Man is a proposal, and God is disposal.” Filming location: Vienna, Austria

A blessing for the holy occasion of Mahāśivarātri is offered. I send the blessings of Devpurījī. I pray to Almighty Sadāśiva Swayambhu to bless us, forgive all our mistakes and our ignorance, and bestow His divine grace. May we act and serve according to Your divine will. May our spirituality improve day by day, and may our consciousness merge into the supreme, divine consciousness of Sadāśiva. The prayer contains a grammatical inconsistency in person, shifting between addressing a third party and then directly addressing the divine. "I pray to Almighty Sadāśiva Swayambhu to bless us, forgive all our mistakes and our ignorance, and bestow His divine grace." "May we act and serve according to Your divine will."

Discipline is the foundation of success in all aspects of life, from business to spiritual practice. A lack of ethical discipline caused the global financial crisis. Business requires supervision, but ineffective oversight creates loss, as shown when multiple supervisors consumed the milk they were meant to guard. Delegation without personal responsibility leads to systemic failure, like ice cream melting as it passes through many hands. Organize your daily schedule with discipline, allocating time for work, duties, and practice. The second principle is to calm the mind's fluctuations. Stress, which has no medicine, is managed through prayer, meditation, and yoga. Prayer involves surrendering to God, like a co-driver taking over. Meditation with mantra accesses peace. Yoga practice, performed slowly with awareness, is a cosmic dance that relieves stress. These practices purify consciousness and are essential for everyone.

Love unites, and wisdom removes duality. Ignorance divides, ego destroys, jealousy makes union impossible. The ideal brother is Bharata, who declared God dwelt within. The ideal disciple is Ekalavya. Ekalavya came to Droṇācārya but was refused because not royal. He understood the master’s silent blessing and made a statue. Learning from the reflection, his faith transformed him. He shot arrows to fill a dog’s mouth without injury. Droṇācārya asked for his right thumb as guru-dakṣiṇā; Ekalavya gave it without hesitation. Greed destroys love. Two brothers found gold. Each plotted to kill the other to avoid dividing it. The elder attacked, the younger had poisoned the food. Both died. Love brings understanding, viveka, and unity. Satsaṅg teaches love and wisdom. Kusaṅga fills the heart with anger and jealousy. Company of fools causes trouble; satsaṅg causes happiness. Mind dwelling in satsaṅg brings benefit regardless of physical place. “Guru Kṛpā—few disciples truly understand Guru Kṛpā.” “When love is gone, understanding goes, wisdom goes, viveka goes. Then destruction comes.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Gratitude to parents and the guru reveals distinct roles: parents guide according to karma within limited chakras, while the Satguru offers unlimited spiritual refinement by seeing the aura across three times. Parents provide the rare human birth, reason for lifelong thankfulness. Their practical care and teachings, like order or resilience, shape us. Yet what parents can give remains limited to the human chakras up to Viśuddhi. The father teaches power and confidence at Maṇipūra, the mother love and service at Anāhata. For deeper understanding, they themselves do not truly know. The Gurudev, as Trikāl Darśī, sees present trouble and its karmic origin. Thus the Guru is recognized as mother, father, friend—all. Transforming worldly relationships into divine ones requires the Guru’s guidance. Karma alone should be feared, for it shapes destiny. A story illustrates: a king received a fruit of immortality from a yogi. He gave it to the queen, she to a horse boy, he to a prostitute, and she returned it to the king. The fruit returned to its rightful recipient, showing destiny’s play. Satsaṅg is the tree of immortality; the Guru’s words are its fruit. Even when the Guru seems angry, his words remedy our limitations. Memory of teachings outlasts the fleeting form, like fragrance after the flower. Thus, gratitude to parents and guru is the path to wisdom and freedom. "The tree of immortality is satsaṅg. And Guru Vākya, the words of the Gurudev, is the fruit of immortality." "Your children are not your children." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Satsaṅg is the source of happiness, and kusaṅga brings unhappiness. A disciple leaves the master and becomes unhappy. In the forest, he sees a happy monkey. The monkey says, “Go.” The disciple feels rejected. He meets a second monkey eating fruit. Upon hearing his story, the monkey closes its eyes. He feels more despair. At a lake, he sees monkeys swimming. An old monkey tells him, “Shut up,” when he speaks negatively. He meets Master Gajānand. Gajānand explains the monkeys’ wisdom. The first monkey’s “Go” means do not listen to negative words. The second monkey’s closed eyes mean do not see negativity in others. The third monkey’s “Shut up” means do not speak negative things. These are the lessons of the three wise monkeys. Satsaṅg requires harmony and purification. Close ears to gossip and see God in everyone. “Don’t go to kusaṅga and don’t listen to any negative words.” “Don’t look at the negative in others. See God in everyone.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Peace arises from universal love, not from greed or conflict. Human history is filled with war, stemming from endless greed for power and wealth. Unlike animals, human mental hunger is insatiable. A story illustrates this: a proud king is humbled by a beggar with a bottomless pot, representing the human mind's limitless greed. Jealousy over a neighbor's happiness also creates inner unrest. Troublemakers project their own problems onto others. The solution is spirituality, defined not as ritual but as selfless love. This is exemplified by a mother who feeds her child before herself. Such love extends to all beings. Peace begins at home through parental love and ethical education. Daily self-inquiry meditation calms the mind by reviewing one's actions and letting go of judgment. Purifying one's inner thoughts is essential. One must be a light that dispels darkness without conflict, helping others through compassion. Spirituality is simplicity, understanding others' pain, and offering a helping hand. "Mother Earth has enough for everyone’s need, but not for everyone’s greed." "The whole world is my family."

Śiva consciousness is the ever-awakened consciousness within all, the goal of merging individual consciousness into the cosmic. This union is yoga. Human intellect, distinct among creatures, requires education. Education shapes habits and destiny, for good or ill. Cultural and spiritual education are vital. Spiritual education provides the higher human mission: God-realization. Modern culture and education are destructive, creating confusion and loss. Ancient culture offered perfect education. Spiritual education reveals the one God within all forms, fostering tolerance and world peace. Knowledge, Vidyā, leads from ignorance to light and is Śiva consciousness. The universe is the mother principle containing the cosmic father consciousness; their balance is yoga. Yoga is the ancient path for the individual to return to the cosmic source, overcoming barriers of illusion through purity. Human life is the sole opportunity for this supreme union. Principles like love and non-violence are foundational. Without realization, one may remain in astral realms. The aim is everlasting merger, not temporary heavens. Prolonging life through breath and pure thoughts aids this awakening. "Becoming one with the Supreme means one without a second, beyond time and space." "Spiritual consciousness means to see equality in everyone." Filming location: Banska Bystrica, Slovakia

The grace of the Guru makes everything possible. Realize the profound fortune of having the Guru's presence and darśana. In the Guru's realm, all things are achievable through his grace, but one must be open to receive it. Self-blackmail, the thought of being small or incapable, closes one to this grace. You are not small; you are the ātmā. Without the Guru, nothing in yoga is possible; the Guru is like the essential thumb. With the Guru, all fear is lost, and one becomes an instrument. What is received from the Guru must be shared like light, not hoarded. Darkness of bad qualities is removed not by force but by bringing in the Guru's light. Negative memories are a burden on the soul, pulling it down. A true yogī cleanses the consciousness and forgets these burdens. Love and presence are paramount when facing death, which comes for all regardless of age. "Without the Guru, nothing is possible. And with the Guru, everything is possible." "The best way to get rid of darkness is to bring in light. And this light we can get only at the Guru’s feet."

Discipline and purification are the path to inner peace. Find something good in every event, for negativity is easy but fruitless. Do not cry for the past; it is gone beyond reach. Take care of the present, and the future shapes accordingly. Discipline is the foundation, as Patañjali taught. A disciplined person is happy in every aspect. Four principles must be followed: ācāra, vicāra, āhāra, vihāra. Ācāra is behavior—hate the sin, not the sinner, and embrace with understanding. Vicāra is thought purification; delete negative vṛttis from consciousness with love and compassion. Āhāra is dietary discipline; replace tamasic foods, and fast twice weekly to prevent disease. Vihāra is discerning where to go and with whom, avoiding harmful company. Practice yoga daily without compromise: minimum one hour of āsanas, half an hour of prāṇāyāma, and forty minutes of meditation. Meditation means just being in the presence of the divine, not asking or planning. Purify the maṇipūra center to dissolve anger and jealousy. Effort done honestly brings divine support regardless of belief. When the mind is purified, radiance grows naturally. Every experience, even painful, teaches lasting knowledge. “Find in every event in your life something good.” “Discipline. A person who is disciplined is happy in every aspect.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Yoga is the balancing principle, a science of living for strength, harmony, and peace. This holistic system promotes physical, mental, social, and spiritual health through a graded, practical path. It integrates exercises, breathwork, deep relaxation, and meditation to purify the body and calm the mind. The practice fosters self-awareness and social responsibility, aiming to create real human beings who protect life and promote global peace. Its teachings have spread worldwide, uniting people across cultures. Spiritual realization makes one a citizen of the world, understanding the unity of all.

Practicing asanas relaxes the body, heals ailments, and calms the mind. Sit in Vajrasana for ten to fifteen minutes to improve digestion. Vajrasana calms emotional waves and quiets thoughts by influencing Manipura, Anahata, and Ajna cakras. It also relieves headaches. Marjari variations work the entire spine; the second variation strengthens thighs and knees, the third warms the lower spine. Shoulder rotations with large circles enhance breathing, help asthma, and prevent kyphosis. Virasana strongly affects the Vajranadi, diminishing fear and suicidal ideation, and corrects flat feet. Fear is an animal quality absent in higher human consciousness. Suicidal thoughts arise when consciousness drops below the muladhara cakra. Finger stretching and wrist rotations counter stiffness from computer use. In Trikonasana, keep the pelvis still to avoid lower back pain; move only the thoracic area. Hastauttanasana coordinates left and right body sides, harmonizing brain function and expanding lung capacity. Ustrasana strengthens neck and back muscles, combating kyphosis and aiding the thyroid. Follow it with Sasankasana to stretch the same muscles. Every asana should be practiced with full awareness of body, breath, and thoughts. Enjoy each posture; happiness is a sign of spiritual development. Pranayama must be gentle, with complete yogic breath and no forcing. Love for practice transforms it, while effort driven by ego brings illness. “Fear is not a human quality; fear is an animal quality. In humans, there should not be fear.” “If you want to know if I have some development in my spirituality, just ask only one question: ‘Am I happy? Am I happy?’ If you answer, ‘Yes, I am happy,’ it means that you have development.”

Morning satsang from weekend yoga seminar from Vep, Hungary.

The highest principle is non-violence, meaning no killing. Every soul is a divine cell; all creatures of the universe are my cells. Therefore, love them, feed them, and do not eat them. Humans are meant to be protectors, not destroyers. Consider a garden with a fence to protect it from wild animals. If the fence itself destroys the garden, it fails its purpose. Our duty is to protect the environment, nature, and all life. Destroying the world contradicts our divine role. "The highest principle is Ahiṃsā, which is Allah." "When the last tree is cut down and the last fish dies, oh man, then you will realize that you cannot eat your dollars."

The spiritual lineage of Śrī Alakh Purījī Siddha Pīṭha brings the light of yoga to the world. This lineage descends from ancient Himalayan sages. Śrī Dev Purījī established an āśrama in Rajasthan in the late 19th century. His disciple was Bhagavān Śrī Deep Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī, who taught that all beings carry a divine spark. His disciple, Svāmī Madhavānanda Purījī, spread this message globally. The current successor is Viśva guru Svāmī Maheśvarānanda. He brought the Yoga in Daily Life system to Croatia in 1984. The first seminar was held in Zagreb that year. Regular seminars grew, moving to Istria with thousands of participants. The system is taught in universities and cities across Croatia. The first world multi-religious prayer for peace was held in Umag in 2001. The book Yoga in Daily Life became a Croatian bestseller. The Croatian president awarded Svāmījī a high honor in 2002. A world peace summit was held in Croatia in 2005. Special programs for various groups are offered. The divine light of this lineage continues to shine in Croatia. "Every living being loves, if not more, then at least as much as you love yourself." "This system is an eightfold program designed to achieve physical, mental, spiritual, and social health."

Today is the Mahāsamādhi day of Śrī Devapurījī, a liberated master. He lived hidden in the Himalayas and was a member of a group of siddhas who can materialize and dematerialize at will. He possessed the qualities of Śiva: purity, consciousness, and the power to liberate. He communicated with and commanded animals, who were his faithful disciples, while humans were often selfish and came only with requests. He performed miracles, such as restoring life to a dead child and a dead sheep. He once healed his own severely infected leg overnight. He knew people's hidden actions, like a hunter's concealed birds, which he freed. He foretold events, like the loss of power by local rulers. He declared his departure and left his body in samādhi while in full health. His presence remains as cosmic light. We are not defined by religion but are spiritual beings. The Guru comes as a liberator to free us from the prison of our karma. Do not think negatively. Meditate on Śrī Devapurījī. "God always has to do what the devotee says. Children, whatever they need, they will get from their parents." "God sees everything, your selfishness and your cruelty. These are two sins, double sins." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

Devpurījī was a being of complete oneness, an incarnation of Śiva who attained Cosmic Consciousness. He embodied divine power through miracles and a profound unity with nature. He had no shadow or footprints, and no photograph could capture him; he instructed devotees to see him in the sun. He restored dead birds to life, rebuking the hunter for harming innocent creatures. He cured the incurably ill by taking their diseases into himself and transferring them into the earth. He lived in harmony with animals, keeping snakes and scorpions in his pocket and using snakes as locks. His room, perceived as full of gold, contained only these creatures. He provided through unseen means and his words manifested as truth. He expressed that people approached him selfishly, not for spiritual power. His legacy is attested to by many in the regions where he lived. "When you want to have my photo, my photo is the sun. Look to the sun." "To give life to the dead is only a miracle, God’s power... O man, do not kill the innocent." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

Devapurījī is our Satguru, an incarnation of Śiva, the self-manifested Svayaṃbhū principle. Incarnations descend by free will to liberate beings bound by karma, appearing in human form but possessing all divine powers naturally. He was a miraculous child who went to the Himalayas, joining the Siddhas—perfected yogīs beyond time and natural law, masters through relentless practice. From that lineage, his guru was Ālak Purījī. He later lived in Kelāś, Rajasthan, performing miracles like restoring dead birds to flight and reviving a dead child. His presence deflects rain, and he leaves no shadow or footprints. He taught spiritual alertness, saying his picture is the sun. His name and mantra are powerful medicine, granting protection and making the impossible possible for the faithful. We are linked through a chain of grace from him to Mahāprabhujī to our current guidance. "One came there as a guilty one, and one came there as free, to liberate the guilty one." "Be alert. Prepare yourself now for tomorrow." Filming locations: Kelāś, Rajasthan, India.

The five elements are divine and must be revered as God. A sun festival exists in Europe, involving a burning wheel. Similar reverence is for water, Jal Devatā. Polluting water harms us. Fire, Agni Dev, is life; our body's heat is a divine automatic system. Fire purifies and must be kept holy. God is not a separate form but exists within every element. The ash from sacred fire is Vibhūti, containing prosperity and perfection. Food must first be offered to the fire god, which blesses it. This practice can lead to miraculous abundance. The wind and air are vital gods; imbalance causes storms. We are nourished by Mother Earth; poisoning her is poisoning ourselves. The space, Ākāśa Tattva, within our body allows movement. We are composed of these five elements held by prāṇa. Modern thinking has destroyed our roots. We must return to nature and Vedic culture, performing ceremonies for all elements to purify the world for future generations. "God is in every element, in everything. So what can be more than the fire? The God, because that’s our life." "If you want to see God, then see Him in these elements. Without this Tattva, we are nothing."

A multifaith gathering offers prayers for world peace through shared invocation and wisdom. Representatives from various traditions light a flame and offer prayers. A Hindu chant seeks guidance from unreality to reality, darkness to light, and mortality to immortality. A Christian prayer asks for illumination of intellect and will toward unity and peace. A Buddhist recitation advocates doing what is right without desire for reward, cultivating boundless goodwill for all beings like a mother for her child. A Jewish blessing seeks light, grace, and peace. A message from a Sant Mat teacher reflects that we leave this world empty-handed; what matters is not what we accumulate but how many we help, urging inner mastery over conquest. The gathering concludes with a collective aspiration for light and love to radiate peace. "Lead us from unreality to reality, from darkness to light, from mortality to immortality." "What matters is not how much we can gain, but how many people we can help."

A praṇāma is a greeting and a practice that transforms energy. It aligns the spinal column and expels impurities, cleansing the entire system. This work is prepared through breath control, mantras, and energetic concentration. The practice requires the transformation of both the individual and the place itself. The greatest opportunity for change is always in the present moment. The key is to return to the essential self without creating grand personal identities. Working with a mantra completes the whole, influencing all aspects of being. "The most important question is that of the Anāhata." "A praṇāma can be used as an āsana, or in combination with breathing, which then begins to take on a completely different dimension." Filming locations: Thar Desert, Rajasthan, India.

Life is a struggle navigated through faith, where difficulties serve as our greatest teachers. God's constant presence provides support if we surrender to His will. My global travels reveal a beautiful world where moments of strife stem from personal ignorance, yet universal love and respect prevail. Achievements are realized through divine grace and fellowship. Contemporary crises like climate change and war call for Gandhījī's wisdom: renounce excess, live simply, and embody the change you seek. We must forsake greed, protect nature, and adopt a vegetarian, natural lifestyle to preserve our planet. I pray we unite beyond divisions of religion, nationality, or race, recognizing our shared identity as children of one Earth and one God. Our ultimate destiny is merging into oneness.

The planet is balanced upon truth. All worldly phenomena ultimately resolve into this one reality. Spiritual energy emanates from saints across the Himalayas, a region of ancient origin. True interfaith understanding requires entering into belief, becoming one with it, not merely holding a separate opinion. This entry is the sacrifice of inner desires. Spirituality is the unifying source. To know the supreme truth, one must learn from a realized master. The Vedānta are the conclusive teachings of the Vedas, found in the Upaniṣads. The master reveals that you are not the body, mind, or intellect, but the conscious witness of them. These are merely garments over the true Self, which is existence, knowledge, and bliss. Circumstances and happenings are transient passers-by; one should not be bothered by them but attend to the Self. "Enter means to be one, to enter into it." "You are not this. This is nothing but clothes you have to get, the body."

The nature of a true spiritual guide is profound simplicity illuminated by divine presence. A being recognized from birth through miraculous signs lived a long life of extraordinary grace. His unpretentious demeanor in the desert magnified a deep wisdom that drew countless seekers. People traveled great distances to sit in his loving presence under the night sky. His spoken words, delivered in melodious prose, were eventually recorded by devotees. These teachings preserve the essence of his guidance. They serve as a light for those seeking the divine kingdom within. "His name means 'great light,' and indeed, this saintly soul was a guiding light to those seeking the kingdom of God." "His long life of 135 years was filled with many miraculous events." Filming locations: Desert regions, Northern India.

A divine call initiates the search for a true guru. A vision of Śrī Kṛṣṇa repeatedly requests kheer, compelling its preparation for a visiting saint's gathering. At that satsaṅg, the saint addresses a devotee by name, revealing profound awareness. When asked if one has a guru, the answer emerges from the heart: one is seeking a true guru. Following given addresses leads to an ashram in India. There, a phrase is heard in sleep: "There is nothing in the jīva, but go to the nitya." Travel continues to another ashram to meet the holy guru. An overwhelming energy is received upon meeting. A book is offered, and through grace, the ability to read Hindi is granted. Mantra-dīkṣā is received on a Thursday after offering fruit. Disregarding advice on travel days leads to immediate difficulties, demonstrating the importance of the guru's word. Returning home brings incessant tears and a longing for the ashram. The guru's loving permission allows return. Translations of sacred texts are undertaken as service, a gift enabled by the guru. Further travels and stays in ashrams follow, filled with divine experiences, protective grace, and deep seva. The guru's presence is ultimately felt permanently within the heart. "Have you got a guru? I have not got a guru, but I am looking for a true guru." "For a daughter to come to the father’s house, you don’t even have to get any permission. You can come whenever you want to come." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The sweetness of the divine name and the path of yoga lead to peace. The divine name holds an indescribable sweetness that removes worldly desires. Speaking the name costs nothing and all names refer to the same divinity. Saints are incarnations, distinct from ordinary birth, though often unrecognized. God is never far; distance is created by human greed and lack of trust. Greed for power and territory causes war, while peace requires becoming the change one wishes to see. Harmony necessitates accepting other cultures and religions, which requires education to overcome ignorance. Cultural identities, like specific attire, must be understood and respected. The universe operates on three principles: pure consciousness, the balancing energy of yoga, and uniting love. Yoga is the ancient system of achieving this balance and harmony. The aim is oneness with the divine, which requires cultivating divine qualities. Realized beings merge with the supreme, where individual identity dissolves. Spiritual practices like mantra repetition develop protective energy. "There is no way to peace. Peace is the way." "If God resides in every heart, who dares to hate whom?"

A multi-day consecration ceremony integrates Vedic ritual with local tradition to establish divine presence. The process begins with pure participants collecting sacred river water in ceremonial pots. Deities are invoked, bathed, clothed, and honored with precise offerings and mantras. A key ritual involves anointing the form with sacred substances at specific points. The deities are then tended to as living guests, being put to sleep with amenities and awakened with song. The culmination involves a public consecration and communal feast, marking the successful infusion of divine consciousness into the sacred forms. "These are considered to be pure. They are actually really part of God as well." "Don’t miss coming on Wednesday. This is really a rare opportunity for us to be part of this."

The Guru's sandals are the vessel for crossing the ocean of worldly existence. The holy lineage flows from the source through all masters to the present. Sanskrit is a sacred language; its fifty letters reside within the human body's energy centers, making its recitation purifying. When asked for a guide after his departure, the master composed the Guru Pādukā Stotram. These sandals bestow the empire of dispassion and devotion. They are the sun that dispels the darkness of the threefold afflictions originating from celestial, material, and elemental forces. They dry up the ocean of delusion caused by impurity, distraction, and the veiling ego. The sandals subdue inner enemies like desire and anger, while granting discriminative intellect and dispassion. They illuminate the supreme knowledge and swiftly bestow liberation. "Salutations to the great, holy sandals of the Guru. These sandals are like a boat that helps us cross this endless ocean of transmigration." "Praying to the holy sandals of the Guru can dry up this entire ocean of delusion."

The only way to liberation is through total surrender to the true Guru. Even after acquiring all qualifications, one cannot overcome the suffering of repeated birth and death alone. You must surrender fully with your heart, without any false humility or devotion. The Guru, as an ocean of compassion, is the friend of the surrendered soul. Liberation is granted through the Guru's merciful glance. This surrender is a private covenant between the devotee and the divine. "Save me, for I have fallen into this ocean of birth and death." "My speech will be steady if you are by me."

The universal Self is the sole reality, from the supreme consciousness to the individual soul. Parameśvara is the one consciousness governing the endless universe, ever-present and without ego. This same consciousness, when influencing a particular solar system, is called Īśvara. The light of the creator, the Śivajyoti, is the Brahmajyoti and the Ātmajyoti; there is no difference between them. This Ātmā is immortal truth, consciousness, and bliss—unchanging and indestructible like space. The same universal Ātmā resides within every entity, from bacteria to humans. One is not the body, senses, intellect, or mind but that divine Sat-Cit-Ānanda. The problem is ignorance of this truth; knowing it, one becomes free. The world's conflicts arise from "my" and "yours." Meditation and the Guru's grace are essential to realize the Self and cross the ocean of ignorance. Do not judge a teacher by the body but by the knowledge within. Use mantra repetition to calm disturbances and wear away impurities. "Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā. Brahma Satya, the truth is that Sachidānanda; Jagat Mithyā, this world is unreality." "The difference between you and me is that I know and you don’t know, and that’s why you are suffering."

A solar eclipse involves both scientific understanding and traditional practices. Scientifically, it occurs when the moon passes between the sun and earth, blocking sunlight. The sun's outer layer undergoes nuclear fusion, converting hydrogen to helium and releasing radiation. Earth's ozone layer normally absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation. A thinning ozone layer, exacerbated by certain pollutants, allows more radiation to reach the surface, increasing health risks. During an eclipse, the alignment is believed to allow specific radiations to reach earth, which traditional teachings say can be harmful. Therefore, precautions are advised: avoid eating, drinking, and viewing the sun directly during the eclipse; cover food and temple deities; and purify oneself afterward. These practices, historically instilled through cultural reverence, are presented as protective measures against these radiations. The event is also a time for charity, prayer, and introspection. "During that period when the moon is between the sun and the earth, some radiations do not reach our Earth directly." "Therefore, we should not come out and should not see the eclipse, because these radiations directly fall on our eyes and skin, creating problems." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Holy places are discovered through human experience and consecrated by spiritual practice. Since ancient times, humans have sought meaning and discovered locations where spiritual energy is concentrated. People found healing at specific natural sites, sharing these experiences until a collective belief formed. This process is innate, similar to animals instinctively seeking minerals for health. Traditional healing systems like Yoga and Āyurveda emerged from observing nature. Holy sites exist across all faiths—Mecca, Jerusalem, Bodh Gaya, Varanasi—their reality is independent of personal belief. Saints sought solitude in harsh, remote areas for intense meditation, enduring great physical and mental hardships. Their prolonged spiritual practice imbued these locations with sacred power. Pilgrims undertaking arduous journeys to such places, holding the destination in constant thought, would become purified and radiant, themselves becoming vessels of the divine energy. Upon return, they were celebrated as bearers of blessings. The eternal spiritual essence of a land persists beyond its modern civilization. "Where Gurudev is residing, there is concentrated all the pilgrims, all the holy places." "After all this... your inner self says: 'Now I am divine because I drank the juice of the God’s name, nectar.'" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Yoga is the union of the individual self with the supreme self. This is a union of consciousness, not a physical joining. The state of separation is bondage; the state of union is liberation. The process removes obstacles within the mind, such as desires and ego, which create the illusion of duality. When the mind's modifications cease, the true, ever-united nature of the self is revealed. Various paths lead to the same destination: the dissolution of the sense of 'I' and the direct experience of oneness. The goal is to move from duality to non-duality. "Yoga is the cessation of the modifications of the mind-stuff." "When the disciplined mind rests in the Self alone, free from longing for all objects of desire, then it is said to be in Yoga."

A spiritual discourse on Yoga in the Indian tradition begins with invocations and a bhajan. Salutations to Śrī Mādhavānandajī Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān. Salutations to Mahāmaṇḍalī Maheśvarānanda Śrī Gurujī.

The Guru is the root of all spiritual understanding and grace. Without the Guru, nothing can be known. The Guru's lineage is an eternal vine of nectar. One must recognize the true essence of the Guru, for the form is merely the face; the real Guru is beyond body and mind. The root of meditation, mantra, and knowledge is the Guru's grace. Satsanga is the greatest spiritual practice. Even a sinner who comes to satsanga is cleansed. If you place the entire world on one side of a scale and satsanga on the other, the side with satsanga is heavier. The Guru resides within; there is no need to search elsewhere. Serve selflessly, help the poor, and protect living beings. Compassion is the root of dharma, while pride is the root of sin. Love for the Guru should exceed love for one's own family. Only the light of the Sadguru's knowledge dispels inner darkness. Follow the Guru's teachings and walk that path. "The root of meditation is the Guru, the root of the lamp is the mantra, the root of speech is the word, the root of knowledge is the Guru’s grace." "If you place the entire world, love, mother, satsaṅga, heaven, and liberation on one side of the scale, and on the other side place only satsaṅga, the scale with satsaṅga will be heavier."

In this Kali Yuga, satsaṅg is rare, and many great gurus are passing away. Successors are hard to find due to materialism’s influence. A sadhu possesses equal vision and lives simply, always an aspirant. The great never proclaim their greatness; a diamond does not speak its value. Humble branches bend with fruit; the cactus keeps its fruit high with thorns. Humility leads to greatness; pride causes loss. Quality is needed, not quantity. Saṅgmitrā renounced her beauty with acid so people would follow Buddha’s teaching, not her face. Such dedication is necessary to bring the divine message. Christmas reminds of Jesus’ hard path and love for all creatures. The original message was non-violence; animals were part of the peaceful scene. A wish is expressed that saints come again, perhaps from among those present. Without true love in the heart, one cannot become that, whether in worldly life or renunciation. Satsaṅg is rare; bad company is abundant. Fortunate are those seeking satsaṅg; unfortunate those seeking kusaṅga. May spiritual energy grow and steps be taken towards self-realization. “Bade baḍā na kare, baḍā na bole bol, Rahīmana hīrā kaba kahe lākha hamārā mola.” “Sāc binā sudhare nahī̃ ādam raso anīk, cāhī tum grast meṁ raho, cāhī peṇo bhīk.” Filming location: Vienna, Austria
