This is an evening session for relaxation and gentle exercise. Begin by closing the eyes and feeling the body. Systematically bring awareness to each part, from the feet and legs to the hands, stomach, shoulders, and head. Inhale and exhale through both nostrils. The goal is for the entire body and inner parts to be very relaxed, without judgment of any sensations. If feeling cold, one may sit up. Proceed with simple exercises: sitting with hands on thighs, raising arms, and looking side to side. Perform movements with the legs, such as raising them while seated. Sit comfortably with knees apart, moving the arms up and down. After eating, it is beneficial to sit quietly. Straighten the legs and feel relaxed. Practice movements while seated straight, focusing on the buttocks. Alternate placing one leg over the other thigh. Conclude by lying down to relax for a few minutes before slowly sitting up. "Relax. Don’t think that this is not good or that is good, or that and this, nothing. Be relaxed." "It is said, after eating, five minutes. One should sit like this."

Sanātana Dharma teaches a life of peace and harmony. Upon waking, recognize "I am human." This human life is a precious gift. The ātmā, the eternal Self, is the essence within all forms. While nature operates on a principle where life consumes life, the human birth offers a unique opportunity. Humans possess understanding and capability far beyond other beings. This potential should be directed toward good, peaceful, and humble actions, avoiding harm to living beings. The current age is turning toward purity. Regardless of differing religions, the human capacity for goodness unites all. Affirm this human potential daily. "All humans know everything. They can do many things." "In the morning when you wake up, say, 'I am human. I am a human being.'"

The Guru principle originates from and exists for Śiva, who is supreme. The ultimate Guru is not a person but Śiva Himself, the source from which all emerges and to which all returns. We are all within that reality. Spiritual practice, like absorbing bhajans, connects one to this truth, not through intellectual methods but through the real Guru principle. Modern life creates suffering, particularly for children when family bonds are broken. Parents should remain with a child until adulthood, around age twenty-five, to provide stability. Without this foundational care, familial strife arises, making the household path difficult. "Above that is the Guru... ultimately, it is that Śiva." "Until at least 25 years, do not go... then you can go with him or on your own."

The greatness of Śrī Devpurījī Mahādeva is central to the lineage. He is the Gurudeva of Śrī Mahāprabhujī and the disciple of Śrī Alakhpurījī. A great promise was made that after his departure, a great yogī would come from Satyaloka. His physical body is gone, but he is not gone; he is here. He gives inner peace and complete ānanda. Śrī Devpurījī had many siddhis and controlled the five elements. He lived simply, often misunderstood, but possessed another consciousness. He performed tapasyā in the Himalayas. Visiting his places, like his simple kuṭī, evokes a feeling of coming home. The Guru is the source, like a tree bearing fruit. All disciples are fruits from that one tree. There is both science and God; one should not deny either. The internal sādhanā leads to God. "He said that after he departs, a great, great yogī will come from Satyaloka." "Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalaṁ Śiṣya Ke Ānanda Karam." Filming locations: Kailāśa Āśram, District Sīkhar, Rājasthān, India.

The soul’s unquenched thirst is the path of sādhanā. A bird refuses lower water, longing only for the drop from above. That yearning symbolizes the soul’s desire for the divine, not worldly satisfactions. Such longing begins sādhanā. Sādhanā is essential; without it, the seeker has nothing. It includes meditation, concentration, service, and love. Love, pyāra, is the heart of sādhanā, directed to all. The guru’s bhajans carry hidden truth, given instantly from divine inspiration. The heart holds both good and bad; through sādhanā, it becomes purified. True pearls are the teachings of sādhus and saints. Imitations cannot capture the real essence. The heart must fill with love for the all-pervading God. When prema is full, all problems dissolve. A mantra is a personal transmission, kept secret between guru and disciple. The thirst of the soul must be turned upward, not to fleeting things. Without this turning, the seeker remains stuck. The sādhanā of love and surrender brings fulfillment. “She only suffers, looking upward: 'I want to drink that water, only that water from above.'” “Sādhanā is everything we need; without it we are nothing.” Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The divine lineage flows from ancient sources to the present practice. Alak Purījī was present in Śiva's time. Alak Nanda Devi, a disciple, became a cow to save her herd from a tiger; the river Alaknanda and temples commemorate her. Śiva later married Pārvatī. This lineage includes Devpurījī and Mahāprabhujī, leading to the current Gurudev. The guru-disciple relationship is fundamental and should not be changed; it is like the bond between mother and child. The mother is primary, as in "matri devo bhavaḥ." Humans possess a divine essence but must choose rightly. All creatures live by consuming each other, yet humans are told, "you are like a God," because they possess discernment. One must remember this upon waking: "I am human." Honor both your biological mother and Mother Earth. Practice yoga in daily life. A specific practice involves placing attention on the chest and navel with warmth, without pressure, focusing on the breath and subtle internal movements. Mastering this internal language makes one a great yogī. "we are the human, we are the God." "matri devo bhavaḥ." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

The lineage from Śiva to this āśram is our foundation. Alak Purījī was present with Śiva, as known from the Śiva Purāṇa given by Mahāprabhujī. I received this knowledge from Gurujī and Dev Purījī. That primordial time had no divisions like Christianity or Islam; now we see all doing well. Our purpose is unity. This āśram is for everyone, a seed from which all grows. We must build a larger āśram together through contributions, big or small. Practice yoga in daily life. Help each other; do not speak of others' mistakes. If one has no money, we help. We must become one spiritual ocean, connected to the guru lineage. "At that time, there were no Christians, there were no Muslims, and the differences were not great." "This āśram is for each and every one. Yes, all these countries." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia

True renunciation is an inner colour, not an outer cloth. Maṅgīlāl Jī, a great scholar, came to Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī and became a disciple. Mahāprabhujī had a cave prepared and seated him inside. The world did not know for how many days he sat absorbed. Maṅgīlāl Jī asked to be made a sannyāsī and to have the cloth spread upon him. Mahāprabhujī replied: your colour is not a cloth. Create that colour within your heart. Then do not take the outer cloth. He gave instruction and made him a sannyāsī. There is no one else like him. His devotion is a model. The bhajan comes from his book. Mahāprabhujī declared no one is great, yet after one Rājā who held this sādhanā, Maṅgīlāl Jī arose. One must understand oneself beyond the body. In the company of great men, humans transform into Bhagavān. The Guru does not say “I am sad.” The Guru and disciple are equal, yet the Guru holds the stick. "Your colour is not a cloth; you must create that colour within your heart so that it dwells there—then do not take the outer cloth." "He is not a Guru, and He is not a disciple either. Every disciple is equal to the disciple and the Guru, yet even so the Guru holds the stick for them." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Jadan Ashram, Rajasthan, India. Singing bhajans.

Be the universal sun, a single light for all. Open your hand and contemplate being like the sun. The sun is one universal light. You should be that one sun. This provides great illumination and light for everyone. The discourse then shifts to practical instructions for a journey. Preparations and offerings are arranged. The instruction is to proceed with these items and return home promptly. "I am like the sun. The sun is one in the world, a universal light." "Now, go and do... anywhere, okay? This is with you, take it with you, and hurry home."

The essence of devotion is surrender to the Guru, the embodiment of supreme consciousness. All glory to the supreme Guru, who is Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshvara, the visible supreme Brahman. Salutations to that Guru. Take shelter at the Guru’s feet. His darshan is true wealth, a mass of consciousness and bliss. Lord Shesha and Mahesha serve him. Keep the devotee in your refuge. Offer body, mind, and wealth. The sages remember the avatars, the Vedas cannot fathom the Guru. What effort can be made? The Self is not mind, intellect, ego, or memory. The doer is the Lord alone. There is no dharma, artha, kama, moksha; no merit, pleasure, pain; no mantra, pilgrimage. Pure consciousness does not arise by effort; have compassion, bestow grace. The highest salutation. The Guru’s darshan is the essence of crossing existence. Victory to the Satguru, the truth, and to the eternal Sanatana Dharma. “Gurur Brahmā Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvaraḥ; Guruḥ sākṣāt Parabrahma, tasmai Śrī Gurave namaḥ.” “Na puṇyaṃ na saukhyaṃ na duḥkham, na mantro na tīrthaḥ.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Yoga Nidrā, the conscious sleep, is realized through satsaṅg. On Guru Pūrṇimā, satsaṅg is received. Satsaṅg means company of truth. Truth is what exists in past, present, and future. That truth is God alone. The guru reveals the way to truth. Through satsaṅg, life progresses, bringing love, devotion, and detachment. An insect in a flower is carried to the saint via a garland. Likewise, the seeker reaches God through the guru’s grace. Many from distant lands follow this path. Their devotion is deep, their service humble. They realize non-violence, abstaining from meat. The rare saint knows Yoga Nidrā: awake within sleep. In that sleep, consciousness perceives the inner light. Ordinary sleep is unconscious. The yogi’s sleep is alert awareness. This is the teaching of the saints. "Sat means truth. What is the truth that stays in the future, in the past, and in the present? That truth is only God." "Through that mala, the germ comes to the holy saint. Just like that, the holy saints, the beloved Gurudev, bring us to God." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Our tradition holds the Satguru as supreme, and this period is significant. I have been here 56 years; our path is beyond mere exercise. For at least 20 years, I have said disciples should have this specific dress—it is a screen of ourselves, not just clothing. Worldwide styles change, and it is your choice, but we must have respect. I am sorry to say, but attire above the knee is not good. Our yoga people here are doing this. From today, I ask for good dress and color in our yoga and āśrams. We will have our own standard. We have little time; this is a primary point. Soon we will have ceremonies at our Om Ashram with many programs. You know Bhagavān Śiva. Nandī is a great being who conveys messages to Śiva. You first make praṇām to Nandi, then to Shiva; your message will go automatically. I tried and got something for you all. "Maheśvarānand, exercise is okay, but you have to go further, five speeds beyond that." "This dress... is not just clothing. It is a screen of ourselves, a screen."

The practice focuses on Bhramarī and relaxation. Place index fingers gently in ears. No external sounds. Elbows natural. Perform Bhramarī eleven times. Exhalation not too prolonged. After eleven, hands down. Close eyes. Concentrate on the Bhramarī resonance. Then lie on the back. Place right middle finger on navel. Hand rests lightly. Then fold both hands. Bend knees. Feet on floor. Head rests. Relax deeply. "In Bhramarī, the index fingers are placed gently in the ears so that you will not hear any external sounds."

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.

Daily spiritual practice is as essential as breathing. Without consistent effort, nothing can be sustained. Begin with devotion to Hanuman, for without that foundation, no progress is possible. The practice itself is the real achievement, known as the yogic sleep of the yogis. Maintain order and come forward calmly to receive the blessing. Do not rush. The offering is given freely; monetary contribution is not the point. Sit quietly and participate in the chant. "Without Hanuman, nothing can happen." "Money doesn’t matter. If you want to give money and it is not there, I will give the money."

Constant practice arises only through surrender to grace. Some receive techniques and sustain them day and night through grace. Others occasionally try but cannot control themselves. The Guru gives methods for eating, practicing, yet many return home and lose steadiness. The heart may be willing but practice falters. Now, lie down and relax. Let the body become heavy. Feel the foot, only the foot. Bend the legs, lift the soles slightly. Touch the foot gently with the fingers. Lie on the stomach and look forward. Slowly reach the foot without pressing hard. Lying on the back now, place the right hand on the chest, the left hand on the navel. Let the chest and navel settle into comfort. A warm peace spreads through the body. Stay within the body, not wandering. Meditate only on the heart and the navel. Relax, just feel. “Only the grace of the Supreme Lord acts.” “Only feeling, the rest of the body is here—heart, chest, and navel. Relax, relax, relax.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The heart and navel are central points for spiritual practice and the transmission of grace. A simple exercise involves placing the right hand on the heart to generate warmth and life. This practice, done briefly several times daily, sustains one's vitality. The ultimate spiritual truth flows through a lineage of grace, originating from the primordial source. This lineage, distinct from ordinary teachers, is embodied by the Satguru. It is a continuous stream from the divine source, through figures like Śiva and Alakhpurījī, down to the present. This grace is not bound by human constructs or geography. It is received and sustained through dedicated practice and awareness focused on the heart center. The precise technique and its power are transmitted directly from yogī to disciple, beyond intellectual understanding. "Life is in the heart, and power where? There, in the navel." "This truth is coming from many, many Gurus."

The gathering celebrates a spiritual unity that transcends physical separation and religious identity. True connection is found within the heart through meditation and practice. The essence of all beings is one, like individual drops merging into a single ocean. This oneness is the foundation of peace and harmony. External labels and forms are secondary to this inner reality. The path is inclusive, welcoming all who seek with sincerity. The focus remains on this shared spiritual essence beyond all divisions. "Sanātana Dharma, is Sanātana Dharma in that we are, we lead, we are doing, and we concentrate, and we, for all, all people, any religions, we love equally." "And it is like this, let’s say, the whole ocean, big in the ocean. And then one drop, a very little drop, that is also from that ocean."

The path requires purity and the Guru's grace. Chanting the divine names is essential, merging the individual with the divine reality. Without the Guru, there is nothing; the Guru provides all that is needed for spiritual progress. Many traditions exist for honoring the departed, but the core principle is surrender. Modern lifestyles, involving impure food and harming life, lead to disease and disconnect. The body must be purified through clean living and disciplined practice. True yoga is a pure path followed by sincere seekers everywhere, creating lineages of disciples who live correctly. "Without the Guru, there is nothing." "We have to purify our whole body."

Observe the Brahmari, the humming bee, to understand vibration and creation. This small creature demonstrates the capacity to hover in stillness, a principle mirrored in technology and breath. Its energy is internal and formative. Three aspects exist: one sleeps inside, another flees, and a third stands witness to the true Brahmari. This creature builds intricate structures, sealing itself within while producing a resonant sound. That sound is a fundamental vibration, an injection of creative force. The practice involves discerning this vibration within oneself, ensuring its balance and purity. Mastery requires consistent, mindful practice of breath and attention at the heart center, not prolonged effort but precise, dedicated application. True progress depends on sincere personal effort under guidance, avoiding distraction. Purification is essential, likened to keeping a river clean amidst pollution. "This Brahmari, she is singing also. It is like an injection. It gives an injection." "If we can really, for five minutes, you will be the greatest of the great."

The essence of spiritual transmission lies in the Guru's grace and the disciple's receptivity. The sacred words and hymns originate from the enlightened masters. These teachings are preserved in extensive texts. The precise historical details are less significant than the living truth they convey. The fundamental reality is known directly through this grace. Logical analysis of form cannot grasp this essence. The path is sustained by devotion and attentive listening. "Antaḥ Mūlaṁ Guru Vākyaṁ, Śravaṇa Mūlaṁ Guru Kṛpā."

Heaven on Earth manifests in this ashram with blessings from South India. Devoted guests from Jadan, Rajasthan, come from a lineage of great service. Their father, once a royal servant, now creates forests and feeds all animals freely. The mother awakens at four, performs puja, and partakes of a single meal each day. Soon the Jadan ashram will open as a sanctuary of divine peace. South India, untouched by historical invasions, houses innumerable Shiva temples. Here a temple will enshrine a sacred pearl brought from that holy region. All who visit will experience spiritual awakening. Cow shelters in the south care for cattle just as in Jadan. The steel industries in the south, employing many, are blessed and expanding to Europe. Now relax the entire body. Turn within and feel only the heart. Let go of all outer distractions. Warmth and comfort fill the heart. This silence is the divine presence. Everything is found within. “I have not planned my trip here today, but it is because of Prabhujī's āśīrvāda that I am here today and able to witness this beautiful environment, and I think it is heaven on earth.” “South India is undisturbed by the invasions that happened in India, so it is still pure, and it is a region where you can see Lord Śiva's many temples.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The essence of devotion is seeing God in all things, transcending material focus for pure spiritual truth. The divine principle, Deva, represents supreme purity and humility, the essence of all gurus and gods. Many seek God through external names and rituals, but true spirituality is found in the heart, in love, peace, and harmony. Life consumes life, often without awareness, while humanity walks two paths: one focused solely on the Name of God, and another justifying worldly actions. Traditional marriage ceremonies symbolize union and duty, with the husband leading to provide and protect. Modern marriages often lack this enduring commitment, contrasting with past unions built on shared sacrifice and understanding, as shown in the story of the bread. The ultimate guidance is the guru's darśana—the sight of God—which is the true wealth, not money, but the joy of spiritual connection. "People sing that Jesus said, God said... but the point is not gold, but the heart, pure spiritual spirituality." "Darśana means we see each other. We see each other also, not only humans—animals, trees, everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The connection between guru and disciple transcends physical distance through modern technology, which acts as a conduit for spiritual science. The true guru is not defined by external forms like robes, which symbolize one's inner path, but by the deep heart connection. Spiritual practice is about inner unity and love, not external differences. Ancient teachings, like those of Shiva, reveal a fundamental oneness beyond duality, where apparent opposites are reconciled into peace. The essence is to find the divine within, beyond all form and story. "Many, many bhaktas, they don’t know me, but they have become great." "This is the real guru."

The soul's journey is from creation to liberation, moving beyond heaven and hell to merge with the Supreme. All beings exist in water, earth, and sky. Humans are given a unique capacity to know. It is said we originate from God and return to the Supreme Reality, Parabrahman, not merely to heaven or hell. Our true nature is vast, like a drop from the ocean. Judging others as 'not good' first indicates our own impurity; the tongue creates negativity. To clear the heart, offer peace and good words instead of conflict. Our spiritual practice, or sādhanā, purifies us daily, like washing a dirty garment. True renunciation, as seen in some sādhus, involves profound sacrifice, but such intense tapasyā is difficult. Many paths and teachers exist, each offering guidance. Ultimately, through yoga and devotion, the aim is to realize our divine essence and merge with the Supreme, beyond all dualities. "If I tell about someone else that they are not good, it means first, I am not good." "When you were born, you brought it, and when you will go, your hand is open, nothing is there."

The practice begins with a warm-up, then returns to a core rhythm. All phases are one unified process. First, move quickly, then slowly. Synchronize the group's timing. The counting sequence establishes a shared cadence. After movement, sit comfortably and relax. Begin prāṇāyāma by using fingers on the right nostril to breathe fifteen times from the left. Inhale and exhale deeply with consistent quality. After fourteen breaths, adjust and then switch nostrils for another fifteen breaths. Complete the cycle with a specific alternating breath pattern. Conclude by standing and taking a brief pause. "All phases are one unified process." "Inhale and exhale deeply with consistent quality."

Bhajan is a supreme spiritual practice, singing the divine names that unite all hearts beyond language. It brings inner peace and beauty, relaxing the body and mind. Yet, the world contains both good and negative tendencies, like violence and intoxication. All religions contain happiness, but the highest path avoids harming others. Every living creature possesses and offers peace and love. A story illustrates this: a great tree, confident in its strength, was warned by a sādhu of its coming end. It doubted any man or elephant could break it. Later, the sādhu returned to find the tree fallen, destroyed not by great force but by a small, persistent agent. Do not mistake size for security or become arrogant in power. In this age, conflict is prevalent, but our essence is divine spirit. True practice is inward. Be wary of those who claim greatness while seeking material gain. The divine encompasses all dualities. "Bhajan gives us very beautiful words: Hare, Bhagavān, Kṛṣṇa, Rāma—all of them." "Don’t think that I am okay, powerful, and that I don’t want anybody else like this." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice integrates breath control with heart-centered awareness. Begin with focused breathing through the left nostril for a count. Then shift attention to the heart with normal breath. Continue with breathing through the right nostril. The breath should be balanced, neither too deep nor too shallow, especially after eating. The physical posture should remain straight. Alternate between nostrils for set counts, using the hand to gently close the opposite nostril. The aim is to cultivate a steady, comfortable rhythm that warms the body and focuses the mind inward. "Inhale and exhale are one. Your breath is very nice. Sit straight." "Not very deep because we had our dinner."

The unity of all life is realized in Satsaṅg, the gathering in truth. All living beings share the same divine essence. Consider an ocean with a ship upon it. All creatures aboard share one vessel and one fate. The difference lies only in the physical body; the soul is the same in all. Every creature possesses the life force given by God. Humans have received a higher instruction. One should not kill any creature, as all are part of the divine whole. The principle of non-violence extends to all actions. In this age, widespread killing creates a cycle of suffering. Returning to truth and unity ends this cycle. All of humanity is one. "All are in one. Not only humans, but all creatures are there." "One should not eat other creatures because the human is near to God." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

The heart of practice integrates life's experiences with yoga's discipline. Yesterday's walk in the forest was also good practice. Asana and pranayama have been done for many years, from youth to old age. Current techniques serve both young and old in daily life. Health issues often stem from hereditary lines, not from these exercises. Those who practice yoga are much healthier despite problems. Life involves various relationships and home situations where one may practice alone. The practice is about living well amidst all circumstances. Gurus and disciples understand that everything comes and goes, including this life. Practice connects one to the energies present, like the cyclical renewal seen in nature. The story of the couple illustrates how unspoken assumptions create lifelong unhappiness, resolved only by finally speaking the truth. A yogi's heart remains in satsang, beyond anger or trouble. Feel the heart's constant path within. "Those who were doing yoga practices, they were much better than they could be." "Because I want to give soft, very good, and hard, hard, I'm eating."

The essence of practice is to realize the inner silence and oneness. All practitioners, through dedicated sādhanā, cultivate a high spiritual state within. The sacred syllable Aum represents the eternal divine, encompassing Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. Chanting "Om Śānti" invokes peace, dissolving anger and conflict. True spiritual energy is immense and relaxed, found within all. The guru principle is the unifying force, integrating all apparent diversity into one reality, just as water evaporates from the ocean to become clouds and rain. All names and forms ultimately refer to the one light. The path requires surrendering problems to the divine heart to attain harmony. "Om is God’s great Aum. So, an Aum, that Aum is eternal, eternal." "All this together is Gurudev makes again insight." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Devotional chanting connects the gathering to the guru lineage. Begin with Oṁ. Chant the holy names: Alakhpurījī Mahādeva, Śrīdeveśvara Mahādeva, Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Madhavānanda Holī Gurujī, Sattva Gurudeva, and Viśvagurujī Paramahaṁsa Maheśvarānanda Yogirāj. Repeat each name with Kī Jaya. Chant collectively. Sing without restraint. When tears arise, increase volume. Let emotion amplify devotion. Do not cross before cameras. Go behind the teacher. Focus on the bhajan. Sound is the medium of grace. The paramparā is a chain of blessing. Each repetition deepens connection. The lineage spans from Alakhpurī to Maheśvarānanda. All names are equal. Victory to all. The practice itself is victory. Chant without ego, distraction, or hesitation. "Oṁ Bolī Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jai, Śrī Śrī Deveśvara Mahādeva Kī Jai, Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Paramahaṁsī Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī Guru Deva Kī Jai." "And if I cry, then please sing loudly.

Yoga arises from the observation of all living beings by Bhagavān Śiva. Yoga originates from Bhagavān Śiva, who observed all living beings. Śiva and Śakti became one, and from that union, animal postures were revealed. Postures include those of cows, buffaloes, jackals, birds, snakes, and ocean creatures. Human postures also exist, and all movements reflect the unity of life. Eyes are a gift from Śiva, common to many creatures, showing oneness. A Rākṣasa sought immortality and performed penance. Śiva granted a boon: if the demon placed his hand on someone’s head, that being would burn. The demon was warned not to place his own hand on his own head. The demon, in anger, chased Śiva to test the boon. Viṣṇu intervened, and a female form, Śakti, appeared to the demon. Śakti offered to teach the demon to dance. While learning the dance, the demon placed his hand on his own head. Fire consumed him, and the demon died. This story teaches that one must be peaceful and not act with arrogance. True sādhanā is centered in the heart, not in jumping from thought to thought. In meditation, place attention on the heart, feel the breath, and see the heart within. "Śiva observed the whole world, everywhere, and saw how different kinds of humans and animals can become one." "Close your eyes and try to see on your chest. You have to do it yourself."

The pilgrimage to Ālak Purī reveals the eternal spiritual path. Visits to that Himalayan site, associated with Bhagavān Śiva, bring immense happiness and divinity. The holy waters and cave there hold great power for devotees. While travel has been interrupted for years, the intention to return remains. The experience leaves a permanent mark, a touch that lasts a lifetime. This connects to the global light of yoga. In this Kali Yuga, the work is yoga, seva, and humble spirituality for all people worldwide. "In this Kali Yuga, what can we do?

Morning program from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Practising Bari Khatu Pranam and pranayama.

Yoga is the seed of spiritual life, cultivated through daily practice and respect. Our existence is a continuous yoga aimed at understanding the divine. This understanding extends beyond the self to encompass all teachers and seekers. Initial efforts in the West faced resistance, with many rejecting yoga due to dietary attachments. Persistence in sharing the practice, particularly in Central Europe, gradually bore fruit. Gatherings grew from a few individuals to hundreds, including diverse seekers from various backgrounds. The core teaching emphasizes integrating spiritual discipline with respect for one's own culture and family. True progress requires consistency in practice and honoring one's roots without conflict. "Yoga in Daily Life. So, Yoga in Daily Life, and very nice still." "Respect your mother, your father, your brothers, your neighbors, and everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Life is pervasive and the path of sādhana requires dedicated practice. All beings consume each other; this is the nature of existence. Life is present throughout the earth, within the soil and the water. The goal is not to become like God, but to recognize the divine within. One should minimize harming other creatures. Traditional practices like bhikṣā, or asking for alms, exemplify simplicity and detachment. True practice is measured by daily discipline over years, not by sporadic effort. The Guru principle is omnipresent, guiding like a parent. External forms and seats of authority are less important than internal devotion and consistent practice. The path has challenges, but steady effort leads forward. "Jīva Jīva Bhakṣate—these jīvas are consuming each other." "Life is present throughout the whole earth."

The daily sādhanā is your foundational and constant path, containing the essence of all techniques. Begin at the Mūlādhāra Chakra, where Gaṇeśa resides as the ruler of everything. This practice is for all, regardless of life situation, but requires pure living free from harm. Consistent practice leads to the heart and brings peace, while abandoning it leads to a fall. The knowledge comes from many great sages, not from one source. A detailed book maps the centers within. The ultimate reality is the union of Śiva and Śakti. Practice this core technique once daily. "He is the Lord of all lords, present everywhere." "This knowledge is not from my book alone. It is from many ṛṣis who have composed everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The present moment is all we truly possess. The past is gone and the future is unknown. We often worship a future good, yet life exists only now. Even eating is an act of presence; taste exists only in the mouth before swallowing. Holding prayer beads connects us to this immediate peace. Consider the example of Buddha, who sought truth with great care. He moved slowly, harming no creature, and ate only what was given. His enlightenment under the Bodhi tree symbolizes rooted presence. A true teacher guides one to this awareness, not through mere action but through genuine spiritual principle. "The past is gone. The present is here, and what will be coming, we don’t know." "When he was going, he was very careful, not stepping on any animals or ants." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Daily practice of yoga, diet, and meditation is essential. Begin with morning exercises, adapted to age and ability. Perform standing movements, focusing on the palm, and count. Sit or stand in posture. Evening practice leads to sleep. For diet, make salad from various grasses and seeds. Break the seeds so they digest properly. Add a spoon of oil and some salt. Eat salad first, followed by a little bread, dal, vegetables, and yogurt. Control portions and eat small amounts. When hungry, take fruits. Avoid excess butter, milk, and coffee. In one month, health improves and the body becomes thinner. Practice Vajrāsana, sitting on the knees. Perform Marjari on hands and knees, arching the back. Do leg lifts lying down, without touching the ground. After one month of exercises, sit comfortably in meditation posture. "Every day we should practice." "Salad is the best. If we can take it like this from this, otherwise that other kind of salad is also not good." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A call to conscious living through prayer, diet, and daily awareness. Religious practice is declining across many faiths, leading to negative societal outcomes. People should pray sincerely according to their own traditions. Modern habits, like excessive meat consumption and poor health choices, are harmful. The rise of veganism stems from compassion, witnessing the killing of animals like a newborn calf. We must respect all life. Daily consumption and farming practices are damaging the earth and water. A simple morning practice can reorient one's life: upon waking, affirm "I am human," honor your mother and the Earth, and respect water as divine. This conscious foundation leads to a better life. "Therefore, in this way, we should—all of us here—we should pray according to your religions." "And so, everyone, they have in their heart. And everyone, they have according to their religions, and they are doing as it is." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The essence of the guru and student is the same, differing only in name and direction on the path. All come from different directions to meet at one point. Extensive worldly study, while respected, does not itself lead to the divine. True attainment comes through devotion, as illustrated by the brother who performed pūjā without formal learning yet walked on water. One must respect both worldly knowledge, like medicine, and spiritual practice. Ultimately, distinctions of religion or status dissolve; all are like drops returning to the ocean. The human duty is to affirm one's humanity daily, honor the earth as mother, and give love to everybody. "One master, or guru, comes from this side, so there is a different lecture, a different path. We are all coming to meet at one point." "The whole ocean and a little drop are the same. So we will come all together. Don't say it is this and this and that."

This sacred grove is a place of satsaṅg, established through great effort, where one must enter with clean hands and feet and without shoes. It is a beautiful, peaceful forest for prayer. Our ashram is a holy place where many have lived peacefully, having given up things like meat and alcohol. Devotees from around the world come, though some stay only briefly. This path led to the rediscovery of the ancient principle of Alak Purījī, connected to Śiva. After the era of Śiva and Shakti, Pārvatī arose, though she was initially unaware. "This is our satsaṅg, our samāj. This is what we are for everyone." "Anytime, if you desire something... you should come to this place and pray with our mantra. Everything will return to peace and harmony." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

To progress, integrate spiritual practice into daily life with devotion. Holī Gurujī said having children is important for progress; be good to them. Practice is not just for gatherings but must continue at home with your family through prayer and pūjā. You must learn and practice consistently, not only for a few days. The recent years made group practice difficult, but many continued individually. During the pandemic, our yoga practitioners largely remained healthy due to clean living and practice, though we must stay careful. My work has spread yoga widely, creating a community like a flowering tree. A devoted disciple of Mahāprabhujī recently passed, demonstrating ideal devotion by consciously leaving for his guru. We must aspire to such steadfast practice and devotion until our final moments, merging with the divine. "Your families are all yoga, our yoga. Then it is very good; you can do it at home too." "I told you always, that until the last, until the last time, when you will be in your guru and in your sādhanā, then in the last minutes, then you will go as into Paramatmā."

Devotion is the direct expression of the heart's longing for the divine. The song is an offering, a plea for refuge in the guru, who is the true shelter. Through repetitive chanting and praise, the individual consciousness seeks to dissolve. The devotee acknowledges personal incapacity for rigorous practice, surrendering entirely to grace. Worldly attachments and the snares of illusion are recognized as binding. The sole request is for the guru's compassionate hand to provide crossing. Liberation is described as the burning away of latent impressions and the cessation of identification with elemental principles. The act of singing itself becomes the transformative path. "O Swāmījī, you live within, you live in my heart." "Japa tapa na hove mujhase, yahī Prabhu ārajāhe." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
