The essence of practice is confidence in the path, not reliance on external numbers or objects. Modern life creates constant availability, a golden chain. It is vital to disconnect, as nothing is so important the world will collapse. Collective unconsciousness influences behavior; awareness allows one to resist trends. Do not seek meaning in ritual numbers like 108; such details are secondary. A mantra provides true protection, making concerns over directions or ground energies irrelevant. External items like crystals imply a lack of trust in the guru's power. The received mālā and mantra are sufficient. Confidence must be absolute, like the need for air. Practice requires observing feelings to avoid descending into negative states. Change thoughts and use positive energy like bhajans. Purification comes from awareness and rejecting temptations. Society changes with practice; satsaṅg provides essential support. Ultimately, heaven and hell are here; the goal is merging with the divine, beyond fear of losing the small self. "On which side is it good to put your head when we go to sleep? On the side where your pillow is." "When you will have such a feeling for God, immediately you will get self-realization."

Waiting with devotion transforms the heart and prepares one for the divine guest. A woman fled a marriage and found shelter in a hermitage. Her guru foretold that Śrī Rāma would come. For forty years she cleaned the hut and gathered sweet fruits. Her constant expectation never wavered, and that was her sādhanā. When Rāma arrived, she offered him tasted fruits out of love, and he accepted. While waiting for the guru, daily work and practice cleanse something inward. Mīrābāī sings, “Come to my hut, Gurudev, though it is only wood and mud.” A small cabin was built for the visiting guru in New Zealand. Steep land blocked machinery, so the hut was dismantled and rebuilt by hand. The hard labor became a teaching in surrender when the mind exhausts its own efforts. A brief visit turned into many nights’ stay due to an obstacle. A wish for another’s deepest desire reveals God speaking. The bhajan of Lālānandajī urges, “Repeat the guru’s name, this chance is rare.” The rāga of longing awakens a pure desire for the divine. In meditation, hearts unite and rest in inner presence. “My house is not any palace, it’s not a castle, but still, Guru Dev, please come.” “If you decide to come, then come this morning. And don’t tell me anymore that you will come tomorrow.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Surrender to the guru's lotus feet through unconditional devotion. The Sannyāsa Sūkta is practiced. This chant is dedicated to the guru. Sanskrit pronunciation and melody are crucial. Head movements aid memory. The mantra teaches that immortality is not attained by work, people, or wealth, but by renunciation alone. That immortality shines within the heart and is reached by the self-controlled. Practice the sounds diligently. "Not by work, not by your people, nor by wealth. But by renunciation alone you attain immortality." "That immortality, beyond heaven, shining within the heart, is attained by the self-controlled." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Today's topic is the choice between positivity and negativity, between satsaṅga and kusaṅga. Everything has a positive and negative side. Before seeking faults in others, see your own faults. Never judge a situation without the full story. The company you keep determines your mental state; satsaṅga brings peace, kusaṅga breeds restlessness. Four kṛpās exist: divine grace, grace of parents and teachers, grace of the Guru, and your own grace—which is most crucial because only you decide your path. The Guru guides but never forces; you can always return and receive another chance. The 99 Club story shows how chasing one more coin destroys contentment; obsession with what is missing is māyā's net. The neighbor's garden only seems greener—that is māyā's illusion. Gratitude for what you have, with Guru's blessings, turns simple food into bliss. Do not postpone practice; act now. If meditation yields jealousy, it is better to sleep. Blaming others brings sin upon yourself; three fingers point back at you. The bookkeeper records all; wrong accusations collect heavy karma. Even animals perceive negative intent, as the saint learned when swans fled his ill-minded trap. Use your discrimination to walk the right path. Seeing positivity in all leads to spiritual growth and oneness with the Supreme. "The Guru can show you the path, tell you this is right or wrong, but He will not force you." "Instead of trying to find something wrong with others, we should try to find what is wrong within ourselves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path of faith is proven through direct experience and sustained by satsaṅg. A master provides simple initial practices, like a mantra. This must be done with heart and soul to feel the connection and blessing. The first step of sincere practice opens the soul to the master's consciousness. Faith in the master's guidance is essential. External circumstances are not a measure of spiritual merit, as illustrated by a parable. Two neighbors received their wages; one spent his on worldly enjoyment in kusaṅg and found a gold coin. The other attended satsaṅg but broke his leg. A sage explained the one in kusaṅg was destined for a vast treasure but received only one coin due to his company. The one in satsaṅg was destined to be killed, but his karma was mitigated to a broken leg. Never compare fortunes or judge the path by temporary outcomes. Satsaṅg opens the heart center and unites the soul with the highest consciousness. The quickest way to God is through bhakti, devotion, growing with the innocence of a child. Unconditional love for the master automatically extends to all creation. When acting for the master, close your eyes and trust he is with you. "When you say the mantra with heart and soul, you feel the love and blessing of the Master." "Never look at what others have or do not have. Never compare." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Guru's light manifests on earth as pure knowledge, requiring a living guide for correct spiritual practice. This divine principle, the Guru Tattva, is the same in all true teachers, yet disciples share an intimate, familial connection with their own. The guru's physical form is a vessel for this light; entering its radiant aura transforms one's energy. Even in the guru's physical absence, gathering with devotion in satsaṅg magnetically draws that divine presence. The quality of satsaṅg depends on the participants' internal energy. Approach it not as obligation but with joy, for your own energy determines the atmosphere. To elevate personal energy, engage in singing bhajans. Consciously replace negative thoughts with positive ones to rewire the mind toward happiness. A spiritual life must be a life of joy and inspiration, rooted in the constant feeling of connection to the divine. "When bhaktas are together and singing my name, thinking on me, the Hari, the God, that divine energy comes to that place." "Satsaṅg is not an obligation, but satsaṅg is a joy."

Morning satsang from Summer Yoga Retreat in Strilky, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing.

Prāṇāyāma and the inner flute reveals purification and resonance. Prāṇāyāma is not about counting rounds. A beginner finishes twenty breaths in three minutes. With relaxation, the breath slows naturally, from twelve to five per minute. Use a timer, not a fixed count. Observe the rhythm changing over time. Never force the breath; force creates harm. Loving awareness harmonizes prāṇa and apāna. Practice daily, aiming for one hour. Effects manifest after forty-five minutes. Discipline is necessary, but avoid fanaticism. Common sense guides the balance. Incorporate mantra and visualization of nāḍī purification. Watch the flow of Iḍā and Piṅgalā. The inner flute illustrates removal. Bamboo is hollowed carefully by a maker with vision. The master removes inner coverings to reveal potential. The disciple surrenders to this process. Sound vibrations, such as from the flute or Oṃ chanting, stimulate nitric oxide. The guru knew this before science. Some monks play one tone for life as prāṇāyāma. Listening to such resonance relaxes the body and releases hidden tensions. Sound resonates through the body, aiding healing and meditation. Patience allows sādhanā to unfold. The Gāyatrī ratios are not a rigid box; know your own capacity. Through steady practice, the inner light shines. "If you force the prāṇāyāma, you will not gain anything, only kontra." "If you want to manage everything, you will lose everything." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Om is the original mantra, the sound form of God. The mantra Om grants all desires and liberation. Yogis meditate on Om constantly. The bindu in Om’s symbol is both the cosmic origin-point and the nectar of immortality. Om is not a produced sound but a reality to experience. Inner Nāda Yoga leads through subtler sounds to Om. A scientist in a coma encountered God as Om. Mahāprabhujī intoned Om as an infant and at mahāsamādhi Om rose through his chakras. Chanting Om continuously as a group creates a sound bath. The vibration circles in the head’s cavities for deeper resonance. Om purifies the nāḍīs and activates the chakras. In creation, Om is the primordial Word, paralleling the Vedas and the Gospel of John. Om is the root of all knowledge and mantras. Sādhanā without Om is fruitless. Om awakens divine light without shadow. Saints treasure Om in their heart, crossing the ocean of the world through its vibration. "Om is the mantra of all mantras; it is the original mantra." "Through Om, all the fear in this world is destroyed." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

True devotion is complete surrender, like a slave without contract or will. The guru is the indescribable, unborn reality who carries one across the ocean of worldliness. The guru is the signpost to truth, a true yogi whose divine play is incomprehensible. The guru's grace pervades the universe, enlightening every heart as the formless protector. The master's powerful words destroy duality and conquer the senses. The guru is the heroic essence, seeing high and low as one in non-duality. Sit in silence, repeat the divine name, and become engrossed in it to receive liberation. Follow the balanced, middle path without excess or deficiency, cultivating a sattvic character. Control the mind, destroy egoistic pride, and through initiation, one's consciousness can immediately merge with the supreme state. "Nothing is mine; everything is yours." "No one can cross the ocean of ignorance and truly understand you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The yoga name is a second mantra, a divine tool given to replace worldly identification. Most have received this mantra without realizing it. A name forms identity, usually tied to the body, which is the root of ignorance. Birth names are given by parents based on fashion or circumstance, often carrying low vibration. Some even hold a curse. The guru replaces this with a divine name—a god’s name, a quality like truth or nonviolence. Such a name is not just a label but a mantra to be used constantly. A story: two disciples received seeds to guard for the master. One locked it away; when the master returned, a moth had eaten it. The other planted it, multiplying the seed into a storehouse. The master praised the one who used it and gave the mantra. The yoga name must be planted: spoken, thought, shared. Another story: a selfish man named his son Nārāyaṇa. At death, he called for his son, uttering the divine name, and went to heaven. A woman forgot her mantra; turning inwardly to the guru, she suddenly recalled it. This reveals the guru as the inner self, always accessible. Embrace the yoga name as a mantra and let it grow. “You are here to give, not to take.” “The name of God is even stronger than God itself.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path of yoga requires abandoning excuses to take full responsibility for one's life. People consistently lie to appear better, blaming trauma, astrology, or external conditions to avoid change. This excuses reveals weakness and a lack of self-control. A true yogī rises above all such circumstances, transforming even the worst conditions into the best. This demands present-moment awareness and becoming a detached observer. By observing internal signs before emotions fully manifest, one can choose a different response. Do not wait for a future moment to act or improve; utilize the present. Acting instinctively places one on an animal level; pausing to remember a higher principle activates human consciousness. Seeing the unconscious patterns within allows for their transformation, which is the essence of yoga. "Everybody lies because we always want to be seen in a better light." "Everything is predictable if we are observing and if we are aware." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

We practice āsanas to bring awareness to each chakra from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra. Begin by standing and feeling the Mūlādhāra area. Āsanas activate chakras like a reflex point, not the organ itself. Perform Maṇḍūkāsana, focusing on the perineum and practicing Aśvinī Mudrā by contracting and relaxing. Abdominal breathing here also engages Svādhiṣṭhāna. Feel a warm sensation in the pelvis. Practice grinding and rolling movements to engage Maṇipūra and feel warmth at the navel. Rolling includes head movement, affecting the Viśuddhi chakra and thyroid. Each chakra connects to the physical body, prāṇa, and states of mind. For Ājñā, practice Ākarandanurāsana by focusing on the thumbnail like Trāṭak, maintaining single-point concentration. For Sahasrāra and overall focus, practice Ekapāda Praṇāmāsana, balancing on one leg with hands at the heart center, focusing on a point and then visualizing it internally. Conclude by observing the effects in the body. "Āsanas influence and activate a point in our body connected to a cakra." "If we are concentrated on one point, we will remain without movement."

The path of purity is cultivated through disciplined living and devotion. Many consume all things without restraint, but such actions bear fruit. When advised against this, some resist. Adopting a purer way, such as refraining from certain foods, can inspire others through example. This discipline is a foundation. Spiritual ascent is likened to water: it rises pure, falls, and circulates. The human form is a precious opportunity. In relationships, devoted practice, like a wife's morning pūjā for her husband, creates a shared spiritual current. The body and life are temporary, but consciousness can merge with the pure, eternal source. Medical knowledge has limits, and actions that harm life contradict purity. The essence is to live so that consciousness rises, not descends into further entanglement. "Look, I will prepare my food and give you some too, you can eat, but I do not offer meat." "Please, I am... you will clean me, I am yours." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

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

The divine name is the means to cross the ocean of worldly existence. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī is the incarnation for all beings. By contemplating His name with grace, one cuts down desire, anger, and greed. The world's illusion remains far away through the Guru's grace. His name is the boat for crossing; the Satguru's grace is that boat. One who receives this grace finds their passage. At the time of dissolution, the Guru's light will manifest within the heart. By always holding His enchanting form in mind, one need not fear the net of illusion. The name itself provides absorption in divine feeling and ensures safe crossing. "For the beings of the world—the jīvas and jinn—His name itself is the boat to cross the ocean of existence." "By the grace of always contemplating Him, desire and anger... For the jīvas and jinn, by His name, one is always immersed in divine feeling." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The story of the great tree and the small axe reveals how the seemingly insignificant overcomes the mighty. During Holī, Gurujī spoke of a very big tree, tall and thick, so large people came and went through it. Many passed by. Then a sādhu arrived and said, “Now this will die. It will increase more and more.” Another sādhu said a single person would take too long; a small axe alone would break everything. Someone objected, “Such a tiny piece of iron, what can it do? Go away.” Yet when they put in effort, they became his friend, and it fell down. Fire was used, and it was gone. After years, the doubter came back, saw everything cut, and exclaimed, “It was my God.” The sādhu said, “Why was this one broken? Only by the people—they cut a little. They sat on it, and from that, it broke. It will happen on the other side. Please do not think it will stand.” Something was pulled round and round, put inside, and it caught fire. We took everything nice, we will not break them. We tried two years, we were pregnant with it, so that is gone, and so is that human. O human, you are very good, you are God. We will not kill them, but what we kill—animals, fruits—they make something inside, and then it will go down. In this place, we are happy, and God protects. “You cannot defeat it, but there is only this little one, and it will go.” “O human, you are God, because we know very well, and we will not kill them.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A yoga practice moves from stillness to dynamic movement, integrating precise alignment with collective rhythm. Begin in Śavāsana, lengthening the neck and stabilizing the lower back. Simple movements prepare the body, emphasizing synchronized group action over individual stretch. The practice progresses through leg lifts, spinal rolls, and postures like Śaśāṅkāsana, which calms fear and aids digestion. Dynamic sequences in Vajrāsana and variations like Uttānapṛṣṭhāsana strengthen the trunk and spine. A forearm Marjari variation mobilizes the thoracic spine. The session concludes with guided relaxation, allowing any comfortable position before rehydration. Synchrony and mindful breath are central throughout. "Śaśāṅkāsana reduces the fear in our heart, the stress and fear." "This will strengthen our whole trunk muscles. It will make the spine straight." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The five-faced Rudrākṣa is the most common and powerful bead for the spiritual path. The one-faced Rudrākṣa is the rarest, symbolizing Lord Śiva and aiding mokṣa. The three-faced bead represents Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśa and benefits health. The four-faced Rudrākṣa is for students and teachers. The five-faced Rudrākṣa holds the essence of all five elements and is connected to Lord Śiva. Rudrākṣa is the tear of Lord Śiva; its power is consecrated through the Guru's blessing. A story illustrates that a Rudrākṣa must be worn and blessed by the Guru to become active. Without blessing and faith, it remains inert. The material or length of a mantra is secondary; belief, dedication, and the Guru's grace are primary. The effect is the same with love and belief in the Guru. "The power within the Rudrākṣa, and how it becomes consecrated, is through the blessings of the Guru." "Just the bhāva is very necessary—the belief, the dedication, and the purity are necessary." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Devotion to the Guru is the essence of spiritual practice. Chant the mantra with full belief and devotion. Feel the Guru's presence directly before you. Imagine performing the mantra at his lotus feet. His constant blessings and love shower upon all. In every beat, feel his presence and blessings arriving. Focus solely on the mantra and on the Guru. Concentrate on the Guru's lotus feet or sandals, the vehicle across the ocean of worldly existence. These sacred sandals destroy all sins, grant the wealth of discernment and dispassion, and bestow the light of knowledge and swift liberation. "Feel his presence. Imagine that Gurudev is sitting in front of you and you are doing your mantra in front of his lotus feet." "These sacred sandals destroy all sins, grant the wealth of discernment and dispassion, and bestow the light of knowledge and swift liberation."

Guided relaxation opens the door to inner peace and self-awareness without needing elaborate preparation. Assume a comfortable posture even on uneven ground. Close the eyes and take a few deep breaths to release the body. Surrender mental effort and sense the body's weight held by the earth. With each exhalation the body sinks into the earth, drawing out tension. Relax the face muscles and eyebrows, soften the jaw to let go of concerns. Release the shoulders and the sense of responsibility. As the shoulders drop, the collarbones release and the chest opens to the breath. Pause to feel the inner movement of the breath without interference. Observe the belly rise and fall, the chest expand and contract. Notice the legs heavy and the feet fall to the sides. Allow thoughts to come and go freely. Feel the air touch the skin. Then take deeper inhalations and exhalations. Begin to move the fingers and toes, gradually the whole body. Let the movement become a stretch, then open the eyes to see the sky. When ready, come to sitting. “The quality of the Mother Earth is to take all the tensions out of your body.” “Feeling your inner peace, the relaxation of the whole body, and the contact with the earth, bringing to your conscious mind the thoughts about the self, the true, inner, pure, unborn, everlasting Self.”

Greed destroys spiritual progress, causing a fall regardless of one's efforts. A hardworking man saw an advertisement for a magical golden egg promising wealth. Consumed by greed, he spent all his savings on it, quit his job, and isolated himself to guard it. He eventually cracked the egg, finding only an empty, painted shell. He lost everything. This illustrates how greed corrupts discernment. Another story tells of a rich man who abandoned everything to collect gold from a mythical land. He filled his bag endlessly, forgetting to eat or drink, and died there, still collecting. A true account involves a dedicated swami who left his guru to reclaim ancestral land. After selling it, he bought a motorbike and invested in a business, but met with ruin, ending up serving tea by a roadside. These stories show greed's destructive power, which can be countered by constant remembrance of the guru, not just in distress. Mantra practice requires correct technique, purity of heart, and devotion, which ultimately transcend mere rules. "It doesn’t matter how much work we do and grow higher and higher, and then one of these things comes and we roll down the mountain." "When the virus of greed comes, then we see nothing."

Death is a transition to a higher place when one follows the spiritual path and has the Guru’s grace. Death is a universal law; whoever comes will go. If there is trust in the Guru and devotion, the Guru prepares one for this transition. A king named Vidura feared death and asked his guru. The guru told the story of Gajendra, the elephant caught by a crocodile, who was saved only by calling upon the Lord. Like the elephant, humans are stuck in the cycle of death and rebirth until the Guru frees them through seva and trust. Another disciple, Arjuna, also feared death; his guru told of the bird Chirpī who dared to fly out of the forest to meet his guru Garuḍa. Garuḍa asked, “Do you trust me?” and flew high above clouds and mountains, showing there was nothing to fear. This is enlightenment: crossing boundaries with the Guru’s blessings, realizing the Guru is within and everywhere. One must let go of anger, jealousy, ego, and envy, and surrender completely. Spiritual growth is like climbing stairs; if exhausted, pause, meditate, and recite the mālā instead of giving up and falling back. The Guru will then give the push to continue. With Guru’s protection, even death brings peace, for one becomes one with Him. Happiness and sadness both pass; do not cling to either. A farmer disciple first saw his guru as a strong bull, then as wise, and later recognized the divine—allowing time for inner growth is essential. The Guru’s presence is a sandalwood forest; use it wisely, not destroying it all at once but sustaining it through daily sādhanā. Always keep the Guru in the heart; trust, and there is nothing to fear. “You have to cross the boundaries of the forest, of the mountains, of the clouds, and then you fly in Śūnyākāśa.” “If happiness comes, do not be too happy, because it will pass; and if sadness comes, do not be too sad, because it will also pass.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Diet and modern habits create disease and disconnect. Eggs introduce harmful bacteria into the intestine, leading to systemic illness. Alcohol is profoundly damaging. Fast food and hidden animal products in processed foods are widespread problems. Modern communication through messages erodes real conversation and family bonds, destroying social education. True health requires a disciplined, conscious diet and genuine human connection. "One egg has millions, millions of bacteria. They make rotten things rotten, and it creates also these rotten things in our intestine." "People forgot how to speak and how to communicate. So the social communication and social education get lost." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Yoga practice of Marjārī Āsana and Vajrāsana. Begin lying down, then slowly come up and adjust into a relaxed position. Relax deeply so the stomach calms. Then sit in Vajrāsana. Stand on the knees, go down, and look up. This is Marjārī Āsana. Repeat five times, coordinating with breath: inhale while looking up, exhale while looking toward the navel. This practice benefits the spine, blood circulation, and reduces back pain from sitting. Move together as a group, with full attention on the backside, shoulders, and hip joints. After five rounds, stand on the knees and sit again in Vajrāsana. Then, on the knees, perform side-looking movements slowly, then stand up with hands raised, say Hari Om, and relax. “Inhale, look up, and exhale, slowly go down.” “This practice depends on the breath, inhaling and exhaling.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The path of devotion and Guru's grace overcomes the universal power of māyā. You cannot escape māyā, but by surrendering to the Guru and following the spiritual path, you can cross it. A sādhu's anger after years of tapasyā shows māyā's presence. The path of knowledge can inflate ego, leading one back to devotion. True bhakti brings divine intervention, as shown when Lord Jagannāth personally fed a starving devotee to preserve his family's faith. Perseverance is essential; like dogs chased from every village, one must continue without stopping until reaching the destination. When trouble arises, call upon the Guru for help to subdue it and proceed. Modern teachings often omit devotion to God and Guru, yet with pure devotion and faith, nothing is impossible. The mind wanders during practice; let thoughts come and go without following them, remaining focused. Do not complicate life by dwelling on the unchangeable past or unknown future. Live in the present. Stories help us recognize our own problems, which is the first step toward change. Feel the essence of prayer in your heart, for that feeling is more important than perfect form. Before forming any desire, contemplate its practical consequences to avoid unforeseen burdens. "If you believe and have trust in God, in the Guru, you will get what you wish for." "When we realize that we have a problem, when we are aware that we behave in this and that way, in that moment, we are able to change our behavior." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Meditate, O mind, to dispel ill-intentions and remember the Guru's words. Through meditation, one gains wisdom and progresses toward becoming a yogi. It is the means to fulfill duties and make life fruitful. True renunciation arises from seeking detachment while still within worldly bondage. In all actions, remember the Lord.

The devotee's heart longs solely for the Satguru. Wandering the world finds no friend like the Guru; without that presence, there is weeping and no rest. Attachments obscure the path, preventing peace. Hearing the divine name awakens the seeker. The Guru's eternal kindness bestows the refuge of the lotus feet. This translation is merely an interpretation, not definitive. The essence is praise for the Guru's arrival, which brings joy, dispels illusion, and cuts the bonds of endless sorrow. "Without that fragrance, the whole world weeps, and I can find no sleep; I can find no rest, day or night." "Satguru āye, mera mana harṣāye. Dhanyabhāga mere Satguru āye."

The first meeting with a master is a pivotal moment of grace. A suggestion came to invite a true yogi. Contact was made through an intermediary who relayed the master's location. Persistent requests finally led to an invitation. The arrival was simple, met at a train station. Hospitality was offered in a modest home, though understanding of the master's nature was limited. A neighbor's small flat, filled with mattresses, was also shown. The master stayed for a month, leading programs and creating a foundation for the disciples' growth. "Svāmījī came from the last wagon of the train, walking forward, and then Kṛṣṇānanda looked at him and said, 'Yes, this is that.'" "And then Svāmījī said, 'Now I live here to see, let’s see how they grow.'" Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The essence of satsaṅg is transformation through timeless presence. Stories from the past contain profound teachings to be digested. Time and place dictate appropriate behavior, yet the essence of pure yoga remains constant, adapting through different eras. The teacher is always in accordance with time, yet also ahead of it. This foresight is demonstrated through precise predictions that later manifest. The required flexibility is not merely physical but of the heart and mind. Constant change transforms the disciple, akin to a worm becoming a bee, which is a necessary but difficult process. Being present in the satsaṅg's energy is a blessing, requiring no other duties. One must decide to absorb this transformative energy fully, like a wooden spoon retains honey. This energy changes individuals, society, and the environment. Physical presence is paramount; watching remotely is an incomplete experience. The teacher provides the essential current, like electricity to lighthouses or the thread in a mālā. Each disciple is given precisely what is needed to grow, whether in good soil or on stone. "Your money will be better than a shilling. Two shillings will be one kuna." "If you have a beautiful picture of a rose, it has no fragrance." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A gentle yoga practice integrates relaxation, mindful movement, and breath awareness to cultivate strength and well-being. Begin by relaxing the body completely, feeling its heaviness and observing the breath. Movements like Pavan Muktāsana increase circulation, particularly in the lower back and knees. Exercises such as the bicycle motion strengthen core muscles and aid coordination. Proceed through postures like Marjari and Śaśāṅkāsana to activate spinal movement and abdominal breathing. Practices including Bhujaṅgāsana and Catuṣpādāsana emphasize stretching and rotation without force, allowing the breath to guide the motion. Strengthening postures support core stability and body alignment, influencing energy and confidence. Conclude with observation of the body and breath, integrating the effects of the practice. "Feel your whole body. Feel the heaviness of your body and be aware of your breathing." "Try to let the movements create exhalation. Everything is gentle, but you are not lazy."

Yoga practice aims for inner peace and strength. Practice brings awareness inside, into inner space. Āsanas and yoga calm the mind. Every movement is done with full awareness. Stand in the position, separate the feet, and relax the whole body. Observe feelings in the body, mind, and emotions. Mauna means not just outer silence. Antar Mauna—inner silence—stops the inner dialogue and quarreling. Stretch the body with interlocked fingers on the head, inhaling up on the toes. Breathing is most important. Place a palm on the navel and relax the abdomen. With inhalation, the abdomen expands; with exhalation, it contracts. The number of breaths at birth is predetermined, in a symbolic way. Short, quick, clavicular breathing leads to stress, depression, and little energy. Complete yoga breathing connects abdomen, middle, and clavicular parts. Body posture reflects inner thoughts and feelings. Inner strength is built through practice, not poor posture. "Antar Mauna is more important: to stop this little inner dialogue, and all the time quarreling." "We often hear that when we are born, we have a predetermined number of breaths and exhales. That is in a symbolic way, of course." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Correct form and awareness are essential for yoga practice. Feel the contact between your body and the floor, aware of your breathing. Practice postures like Pavanamuktāsana to release tension, ensuring the low back presses the floor. Sit in Vajrāsana to relax and balance the energy channels. Execute movements from the hip joints with a straight spinal column, being gentle to avoid injury. The action of a posture is distinct from relaxation within it. Correct practice strengthens the diaphragm and enables deeper breathing. Incorrect practice yields no benefit and risks harm. Focus on the precise form, not merely performing the shape. "Because if we practice and practice incorrectly, we will not have good results." "Try to do these movements when you will not injure your neighbor."

The quality of our era is determined by our inner state. While some lament this age, it offers unique tools like rapid travel and distant connection. The key is to extract only the nourishing essence from the vast information, like the swan separating milk from water. Our experience of time depends on our inner qualities. This gathering is a timeout to calm our inner dialogue, not to escape life but to gain clarity before re-engaging. We require the support of our spiritual family for strength. Utilize this time for serious practice, particularly prāṇāyāma to settle the agitated mind and prāṇa. Calm the body through deliberate movement to quiet mental disturbances. Simplify your environment and focus intently, avoiding distractions like constant drinking which disrupts inner fire and focus. Move from mere belief to direct understanding. "Take the pearls, take the milk, and leave the water." "Our meditation and practice are not about running away but about taking a timeout before returning to the game."

Preparation is essential to receive spiritual energy and attain Mahāsamādhi. A saint blessing a stone daily illustrates that grace alone does not transform without readiness. In the presence of strong spiritual energy, an unprepared individual falls asleep like a fuse switching off. The human system resembles a 4.5-volt bulb; connecting to high voltage without proper wiring causes damage. To receive such energy, one must strengthen the inner system. Prāṇāyāma, especially kumbhaka, fortifies Vyāna Prāṇa and nerves. Regular practice of Nāḍī Śodhana with breath retention, even for beginners, gradually builds capacity. Mahāsamādhi is the conscious merging of the individual soul with the cosmic, not ordinary death. For a self-realized one, ātmā and paramātmā are one, but Mahāsamādhi dissolves the physical boundary. The greatest failure is departing this life without self-realization. Therefore, the aim must be set for this lifetime, without any backup plan. One must live, breathe, and dream this single idea to accomplish it. Mānasik Pūjā, thinking of the Guru and Iṣṭa Devatā, aligns the brain with divine energy, making physical distance irrelevant. Such inner worship enables feeling the presence of the masters and expands the heart. Mahāsamādhi is a celebration of victory, an inspiration to pursue liberation with joy. Active participation in satsaṅg and bhajans invokes the same high vibration. "Now Gurujī is even more with us."

Understanding prāṇāyāma begins with the nāḍīs. The Prāṇamaya Kośa has its own anatomy of 72,000 nāḍīs, with three main ones: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā. Iḍā connects to the left nostril, the mind, and emotion, symbolized by the ever-changing moon. Piṅgalā connects to the right nostril, conscience, and the light of knowledge, symbolized by the sun. Suṣumnā operates at Brahma Muhūrta and sunset, when both nostrils are equally open, making meditation calm and body-free. Nāḍī Śodhana always starts with the left nostril, activating Iḍā and purifying the mind. Thoughts may become more active. Never force a blocked nostril; gentle breathing will open it, and can relieve a headache. Then switch to the right nostril, activating Piṅgalā and bringing stillness through conscience. Finishing with the right nostril quiets the mind. Only a guru may direct otherwise for a rare few. Inhale light and exhale light, cleansing inner darkness. Inhale divine prāṇa, exhale positive thoughts for all beings. Progress is measured by inner happiness, not suffering. "When Iḍā, connected to the left nostril and the right part of the brain, is active, you will see, especially during meditation, that you don't have a problem with your body, but you have a problem with a lot of thinking, so many thoughts. When Piṅgalā is active, we don't have so much of a problem with thoughts. You have such a nice peace in the head, but constantly, the body is the problem." "Simply ask the question: Am I happy? If the answer is yes, I feel happy, I feel full of energy, I feel that my heart is opening, that means we have developed and are progressing." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The five kośas are interconnected layers that veil the divine Ātmā. The Annamaya kośa is the physical body, accessible through practices like āsanas and kriyās. Purification does not isolate one kośa; all influence each other. Prāṇamaya and Manomaya kośas have distinct structures described in Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras. The vṛttis expand into a dense forest, connecting kośas. Ānandamaya Kośa, the innermost layer, is made from bliss. A divine light, the Jīvātmā, sits within, surrounded by colored glass shades. Dirt accumulates like soot, obscuring the radiance. Daily prāṇāyāma was once advised, later reduced due to difficulty. Purified layers make one shine with inner beauty. True beauty emanates from the inner Self, not physical form, especially with age. The aim is merging the drop of Jīva into the ocean of Śiva. Purify all layers to let the drop become the ocean. “The nearest kośa to our real Self is the Ānandamaya kośa. That is the experience closest to our true nature.” “The connection between Jīvātmā and Ānandamaya Kośa is that in the Ānandamaya Kośa we are nearest to our real Self. That is pure bliss.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Mantra initiation is being arranged for devotees. Those wishing to receive it must assemble separately. Form a line in the designated area. You will be escorted to the teacher for the ceremony. Only those not yet initiated should join this line. Others should remain where they are. Devotees are also welcome to connect via the digital group for future notifications and to make offerings as they wish. "Those who wish to receive the Mantra Dīkṣā should come." "Those who have already taken the mantra-dīkṣā should not come."

Devotion transforms despair into strength, as seen in Hanumān’s story. Hanumān searched all of Laṅkā for Sītā but found her nowhere. He sank into depression, thinking life was over. He prepared to end his life by fasting, fire, or drowning. Then he looked toward Ayodhyā. The air from Ayodhyā carries Rāma’s energy. That glance rekindled his will. He realized Aśoka Vātikā remained unsearched. He went there and found Sītā. Giving up prematurely prevents lasting legacy. Perseverance brings remembrance. The guru’s glance gives the same uplifting energy. Money cannot buy happiness; a rich man with a Rolls-Royce still cried. The guru’s grace brings lasting joy. Surrendering desires and letting the guru decide brings what is truly needed. Chanting the guru mantra brings everything. The guru treats all equally, removes obstacles, and unites everyone. “Even the air which comes from Ayodhyā is a blessing; it carries the waves and energy from Lord Rāma flowing in the air.” “When you have Gurudev’s kṛpā, when you have Gurudev’s blessings, then the disciple’s life is all happiness and joy.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

All spiritual paths ultimately converge. Bhakti, Jñāna, and Karma Yoga are interconnected and lead to the same destination. One may begin by acquiring knowledge, which fosters love for the divine, culminating in selfless service. This service, or Seva, arises naturally from genuine devotion, just as one serves a beloved family member. In practice, these paths are not separate; performing mantra repetition, devotional singing, and scriptural study involves all three. The ego is the primary obstacle. Therefore, initial spiritual work often involves humble tasks to dismantle this sense of superiority. When the ego subsides, true spiritual progress can begin. Challenges in life are inevitable, like changing weather. The key is to remain calm and present, allowing distractions to pass while maintaining focus through the Guru's guidance. Perseverance is essential; for every problem, a solution exists. Selfless service without expectation yields the highest results, transforming one's life and leading to ultimate liberation from the cycle of birth and death. "Bhakti Yog, Jñāna Yog, and Karma Yog. It doesn’t matter where we start; it all leads to the same thing." "If you do niṣkām sevā to Guru Dev, you will get anything you want." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The disciple's bliss arises solely from the Guru's grace. A story illustrates this truth. Initially, entry into a sacred cave was restricted. Permission was granted for meditation inside. The initial feeling of specialness was present. The intense cold within the cave eventually overcame that feeling. The experience culminated in a fervent prayer for departure. The eventual exit felt like a deliverance. Following this, certain devotional songs arrived as a cool blessing. One such song is based on an essential phrase. That phrase was instructed to be displayed and read daily. An experiment was conducted to set this phrase to melody. The resulting composition allows the meaning to be heard and felt. "Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalaṁ Śiṣyake Ānandamaṅgalam." "Print out this sentence with big letters and stick it on the place where you go the most, and read it every day." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The spiritual path requires surrendering the ego's claim of being the doer to become a tool of divine grace. A dog pulling a chariot mistakenly believes it carries the entire load itself. Similarly, Hanuman once thought his great deeds were his own doing. Rama then sent him on a difficult journey to deliver a ring to a sage. The sage threw the ring into a vessel filled with identical rings from every divine incarnation, revealing that countless servants have come before. The practitioner must pray to be an instrument, allowing divine energy to flow through selfless service. All actions, like leading a yoga class, become energized when performed with the attitude of "I am not the doer." Spiritual work must be done invisibly, without seeking recognition, as showing off one's fasting or prayers feeds the ego. The guru's guidance acts as medicine that may stir up inner impurities, which is necessary for purification. Life is like entering a cold, testing ground; the aim is to emerge with one's inner purity intact. By focusing on personal cleansing through practice, one naturally illuminates the surroundings. "Only what is important for us is to understand and to pray to be the tool." "Always be aware of Hanumānjī when he realized that a lot, and so many, was before him and so much will be after him, and only pray for grace, for great luck, to get the opportunity to be the tool."

The teaching is about indescribable oneness. Listen, all doing serious sādhanā. Rāma lives in every heart. Rāma means God or Guru. Inside and outside, everything is one. It is a vast oneness. You sit in all moving and non-moving. The whole world resides in you. Looking up or down, only your darśan is seen. There is no need to go anywhere. You are not born, nor do you die. You are completely fearless. You have no fort or village. You are indescribable nothingness, like śūnyākāśa. You are Alakh, the indescribable one. You are beyond name, so you have no name, because you are everything. Without the Guru, you cannot understand this. "Inside and outside, everything is one." "Listen, everybody, without the Guru you cannot understand this." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The knowledge received is pure and requires deep, patient digestion, not quick consumption. Revisiting teachings reveals new understanding as one changes through practice. Writing, especially transcribing mantras slowly, deepens absorption and calms the mind. Respect for sacred texts is essential, as the value one assigns dictates the benefit received. Material possessions are necessary but obsession leads to misery; true happiness comes from giving and serving others. Spiritual practice refines one's inner state, which eventually manifests outwardly. Bhakti, or devotion, is the highest path, but it must be founded on knowledge and wisdom, not mere emotion. Ultimately, everything is transient, and only the Guru's grace brings true bliss. "Inside, we will hear completely new things. Why? Because we are practicing, because we are changing ourselves." "All you need is the Guru’s grace. And that is what makes the disciple in bliss and joy." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
