We have to become one

The path beyond attachment leads to realizing the Ātmā through kuṇḍalinī and cakra. Attachment is very hard to give up; it creates conditions around body, comfort, money. As long as attachment remains, one cannot cross the border. Detachment means nothing belongs to you, yet everything belongs. The soul is like space, eternal, without duality. The inner crocodile of desire pulls down every attempt to rise. True renunciation means constantly building and dismantling, never settling. The Ātmā is not the mind, intellect, ego, or memory. The Ātmā is not the five elements or the senses. The Ātmā is not the five prāṇas or the five kośas. The Ātmā is not hatred, attachment, greed, arrogance, or anger. The Ātmā is blissful consciousness, Śiva, pure space everywhere and nowhere. The Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra is the seat of desire, water, and emotion. It has six petals; the crocodile symbolizes anger and jealousy. The moon governs the tides of emotion, pulling the mind. To balance, ground the body on earth and connect with moonlight. All chakras are energy stations within the subtle body. Rise above duality, seeing one God beyond all names. "I am neither mind, intellect, ego, nor memory. I am none of the five elements or the senses. I am the blissful consciousness, Śivo’ham." "Until we are free of attachment, we cannot cross the border, we cannot go further."

Pollution

The five sheaths, from the physical to the bliss body, define our being and are shaped by our nourishment. The physical sheath, annamaya kośa, is formed from food. The energy sheath, prāṇamaya kośa, arises from that nourishment. The mental, wisdom, and bliss sheaths follow sequentially. What you consume determines your energy, mind, knowledge, and ultimate state. Modern habits have corrupted this natural order, replacing pure, sāttvic nourishment with harmful substances and actions, leading to disease and mental disturbance. A pure diet creates pure energy and a serene mind, guiding one toward true happiness. The path is obstructed by base desires and endless argument, which must be surrendered through attentive listening to divine guidance. "Jaisā khāī annā, vaisā rahe man. What kind of nourishment or food you eat, like that will be your mind." "Your nourishment, your energy, then your mentality, the mind." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Seeing the God

Yoga is the science of union and self-realization. Yoga means oneness, like the union in friendship or family. Life emerges from the elements: space, water, air, fire, and earth. Among 8.4 million creatures, the human is one. We seek to know who we are. Yoga is the merging of the individual with the Supreme, the Ātmā with God. I have searched but never seen God in a form. Consciousness and space are intertwined; the space is within us and we are within space. Science reaches a point where the seeker and the searched become one—this is yoga. Our development sometimes destroys nature. Practice yoga systematically, beginning with relaxation, then movement, postures, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. In one year, you will see the change. Natural care with oils is best for the body. The chakras and 72,000 nerves channel prāṇa, leading to the highest consciousness, Śiva. "Yoga means union. Yoga means merging. Two in one." "Śiva means consciousness. Śiva is called svayaṁbhū. Svayam means self. Bhuv is that which created." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Morning practice of Asana and Pranayama from Auckland

Yoga is a system for developing energy and relaxation through awareness of body and breath. The practice involves simple postures and movements to release tension from the physical form and the mind. These exercises awaken energy known as Kuṇḍalinī and balance the energy centers, or chakras. The focus is on feeling and relaxing each part of the body sequentially. Breath awareness harmonizes the body and mind. Through this, one realizes that everything needed is within; nothing must be acquired from outside. The practice culminates in prāṇāyāma to purify the nervous system and balance energy channels. "Relax the whole body from the toes to the top of the head, and from the top of the head to the toes." "In yoga, each movement is giving us better and longer life and memory." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

The duty of the human

The foundation of life is honoring the divine within relationships and recognizing our shared humanity. First, honor the mother, for she gives life and protection. Second, honor the father. Both parents must prioritize their child over work, or the child loses connection and respect. Humanity is one, beyond caste, color, or origin. The first worship is to the mother. If all women stand to educate children, there will be no war. Next, honor the teacher for worldly knowledge, then the ancestors, and finally the spiritual guide for soul knowledge. Humans must seek more than eating and sleeping; we must ask "Who am I?" We must love all creatures. Modern life, with its distractions like laptops, pushes the child from the parent's lap. Centers like this bring people together. Even the vegan movement points to this unity, recognizing that milk is a mother's love. Our inner space is vast. We are all one soul, like separate drops from the same water. Do not seek meditation far away; go within through the chakras and Kuṇḍalinī. "First worship is to the mother. First adoration is to the mother." "O human, if one is doing only eating, creating children, and sleeping, all creatures can do. What is our duty as humans to come?"

How to overcome the obstacles of practicing

The chakras contain immense power we must master, requiring guidance. From Mūlādhāra to Viśuddhi, these centers mix human and animal qualities. The Svādhiṣṭhāna generates waves of passion that can sweep us away. The Kuṇḍalinī lies dormant until awakened. The three nāḍīs—Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā—wind left and right; when knowledge dawns, energy flows straight. A coiled snake represents the three guṇas, which pull us downward. Our desires create holes through which energy drains. The Maṇipūra Chakra is the seat of sound and fire. Viṣṇu resides in the navel, resting on the ocean of purity. Regular practice of prāṇāyāma like Bhastrikā and Kapālabhāti energizes the body from this center. Reading scriptures must move from intellect to heart. Knowledge requires daily churning and application over time. "Strive for oneness, purity, without blemish. Do not stain your body." "Our life may be ending, but we should not waste time. If we die today, let us use these minutes productively." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Morning practice from Wellington

A guided relaxation and gentle yoga sequence integrates body awareness with mindful movement. Begin by making the body comfortable, closing the eyes, and relaxing from toes to head. Release tension with each exhalation, systematically softening each body part. Withdraw attention from external concerns to unite mind and body in the present. Initiate movement with deep breaths, stretching the whole body and then each side individually. Practice rolling smoothly from side to side, initiating the movement from the pelvis. Perform a supine twist, synchronizing the movement of knees and head with the breath. Move through a series of postures including a forward bend, a gentle backbend, and lunges, maintaining awareness of sensation and distinguishing between effort and pain. Conclude by returning to a supine position. "With each exhalation, relax your back." "Feel your body, relax your body."

Meditation

A simple practice for awareness through physical movement. Begin with normal breath. Close your fist, then open the palms. While the fist is closed, stretch the elbows and shoulders, giving the stretch to the back and spine before relaxing. Open and close the palms. Fold and rub the palms, then place the hands on the face. Bend forward to place the palms on the ground, touching the forehead if possible. Feel the circulation in the head, face muscles, and all five senses. Slowly raise the hands, lift the head, and relax. "Feel the circulation towards the head, the face muscles, all the five jñāna indriyas." "Slowly raise your hands, lift your head up, and relax."

Utilizing the Vajra Nadi

The Vajra Nāḍī is the strong trunk needed to balance the three primary energy channels. Our systems are in chaos because people change authentic names and teachings, leading everyone astray. Āyurveda is the best but is now untrustworthy due to conflicting advice. Yoga is similarly confused; even the Bhagavad Gītā's 18 Yogas are ignored. Sanskrit and reality are unchangeable, like a poem. Our body has sections: divine above, human and animal in the middle, and vegetative below. The Vajra Nāḍī, meaning iron-strong, is the foundational support. It is located between the big and second toes, connecting to the navel. Balance in the navel is essential; an imbalanced pulse indicates physical issues and blocks spiritual progress. A simple leg-stretching technique can correct this. Without this balance, practices like prāṇāyāma will not awaken the kuṇḍalinī. "Āyurveda is the best, but don't trust it blindly because everyone gives different instructions and medicines." "Unless your navel is in balance, you can do all your Kriya yogas, and nothing will happen." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Meditation receiving energy from outside

Wrong education leads to wrong actions

Spirituality teaches living joyfully in the present moment, free from worry over the past or future. A universal peace prayer is essential, responding to global violence that stems from wrong education and inner conflict, not the pure soul. The soul is singular and divine, like water in different forms. Judgment belongs only to the divine; human duty is forgiveness, care for family, and prayer for all beings who suffer, without national distinction. True holiness is found in serving one's parents. Inner purification requires releasing negative thoughts and the illusion of personal greatness. "Yesterday is gone, so you cannot worry about yesterday, and tomorrow we do not know what it will bring. So, enjoy today." "There are two kinds of war: inner war and outer war."

Where can we see God?

The divine journey seeks God within creation and the self. We profess belief yet cannot see God directly, only witnessing the supreme's creation in all entities. Humans possess intellect surpassing animals, yet still fail to understand or honor this creation, even in elements like water which is life. Self-realized masters may represent God, but the ultimate search continues within, obscured by many covers. We often disappoint the divine, as illustrated by the story of the bamboo asked to sacrifice for a greater purpose, teaching that God works to remove our ego, pride, and cruelty. Another tale of a climber demanding proof shows that trust requires surrendering control, not bargaining. True devotion means recognizing God within every creature and oneself. Practice like prāṇāyāma purifies the nervous system and balances the body's energies through the chakras, promoting health and harmony. This science of yoga advises moderation, natural living, and releasing negative emotions to maintain well-being. "God is within us. God is within us and in every creature." "If you trust in me, then leave your hands free." Filming location: Raumati Beach, New Zealand

The peace within you

Peace begins within the individual. Outer peace is impossible without inner peace. Many seek happiness externally, but true peace arises from inner contentment. Yoga and meditation provide a path to this inner stillness. By changing oneself, one influences thousands. Peace is not passive stillness but active harmony, requiring the removal of internal conflict. Violence and ego destroy peace; non-violence and humility sustain it. True education fosters humanity, and women are pivotal in educating for peace. A peaceful society integrates physical, psychological, spiritual, and familial well-being. "Change yourself, and you change thousands." "Where there is violence, there is no peace. And where there is peace, there is no violence." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Chakras and the Kundalini

Yoga is the science of humans, uniting consciousness and matter. The supreme reality is a primordial resonance, nādarūpa parabrahma. All forms arise from this sound. The soul is this singular reality within the body. The apparent multiplicity of souls is like different waters or fires; their essence is one. The five elements compose all forms, and their powers manifest as qualities within life. Chakras are centers of this elemental energy within the human instrument. Imbalances arise from unprocessed experiences, like swallowing harsh words, creating tension in specific areas such as the throat or solar plexus. The science of yoga, through practices like Prāṇāyāma, aims to purify these energies, transforming poison into nectar. The goal is to realize the soul's inherent purity and oneness, beyond the duality of individual suffering. "Everyone's soul is only one soul." "The union that balances and unites them is called yoga." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The mercy of Bhagavan Shiva

Śiva is the eternal protector and liberator, the source from which Brahmā and Viṣṇu manifest. He maintains harmony between all forces. A hunter, failing to find food, climbed a Bilva tree at night. Water from his vessel and leaves from the tree fell onto a Śivaliṅga below, unknowingly performing worship. Throughout the night, he was moved to compassion by pleading animals and remained awake, his actions pleasing Śiva. At dawn, Śiva appeared, blessed the hunter's family with sustenance, and forbade killing. This event is celebrated as Mahāśivarātri, the great night of Śiva. Śiva is profoundly merciful, responding to even unintended devotion. "Śiva is not born, has no mother, no son, and no father. It is He who manifests Himself." "He is the dissolver. He dissolves or liberates. It is not the right word to use that Śiva is a destructor. He is a liberator." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

Good and bad destiny and karma

Destiny unfolds through our karma and latent potential, not merely external fortune. The soul's journey is one of consciousness seeking oneness, yet we are shaped by past actions. Goodness or knowledge alone does not elevate us; a karmic heaviness can pull us down like a diamond sinking in the ocean. Our inner will and surrender determine if dormant treasures surface. Destiny shifts: a shepherd may become a prince, then a scholar, then renounce all, as with the poet Kālidāsa. All religions once emerged from one Sanātana Dharma, which remains a living tradition through continual guidance. Other paths are seen as concluded, having fixed their scriptures as final authority. Our present circumstances, whether royal or humble, are tests of faith and instruments for ultimate reunion. The cycle of time will eventually restore a harmonious order. "If you have in your hands, anyone can take out, but what you have in yourself, no one can take away. They cannot take your destiny." "All five elements come together, then become this one body."

Advaita

The soul is one, from individual consciousness to universal consciousness. Practice must be consistent to reach the aim of highest consciousness. The body is constructed through chakras and the five elements: space, air, fire, water, and earth. These elements exist within us and all around us. The soul is like water, taking various forms but remaining one substance. The individual soul is a drop, and the universal soul is the ocean. Division and duality are products of human ignorance and karma. Our deeds shape the quality of our existence. Through disciplined practice like Kriya Yoga, we purify ourselves to realize our essential oneness. Love all beings but do not aspire to lower forms. All duality merges in the one reality. "Only one is the Brahman. The rest is duality." "The individual soul is a drop, and when it falls into the ocean, then it is called Śiva."

Yoga is much more than physical

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Yoga seminar, Dungog, Australia. Asanas and pranayamas keep our body healthy. According to the ancient scriptures, there is nothing else only Yoga. Many rishies got the realization in such a forest like this or in the Himalayas. Masters said: we should have a well-grounded connection to others. Bhajans are the worlds of the great Masters. Saints.

Introduction to Hatha Yoga

Haṭha Yoga is a complete system of purification and health comprising six core techniques. The first is Netī, cleansing the nostrils with warm saline water. The second is Dhautī, purifying the upper digestive tract by drinking and expelling warm salt water. Third is Bastī, also called Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, a full intestinal cleanse performed seasonally with many glasses of salted water and specific exercises under guidance. Fourth is Naulī, a dynamic churning of the abdominal muscles. Fifth is Trātaka, a gazing practice using a candle flame to strengthen vision and calm the mind. Sixth is Kapālabhātī, a forceful exhalation breath technique to purify the frontal brain and lungs. These practices purify the physical body, leading to mental clarity and health. They are distinct from the postures and breath control often mislabeled as Haṭha Yoga, which are actually components of Rāja Yoga. True Haṭha Yoga is the foundational purification science. "Haṭha Yoga is purification and health, and when we are very healthy, then our mind is also very healthy." "These exercises will, for your whole life, a long life, you will be happy and relaxed."

Success in Yoga

Yoga is a lifelong journey requiring correct practice and a true master, not mere temporary physical exercise. Śiva is the primordial source, the consciousness that is the entire universe. He manifested alone, then created Viṣṇu and Brahmā. All three functions—creation, protection, liberation—reside in Śiva. We are that one consciousness temporarily in bodies. Our path is determined by our choices and associations. We must follow the true master in an authentic lineage to ascend; otherwise, we are pulled down by desire and bad company. The chakras map this journey from base consciousness to liberation. "Yoga is a lifelong journey." "A real Satguru is one who has left the body; only then is he a Satguru."

Ujjayi Pranayama and Visuddhi Chakra

The Viśuddhi Cakra is a vital center located at the throat, governing speech and the thyroid gland. Its purification addresses nervousness, anxiety, and difficulty in communication, particularly for students facing examinations. The practice involves specific breathing and physical exercises to release tension in the neck and shoulders. A primary technique is Ujjāyī Prāṇāyāma, controlling the thyroid by inhaling through the nostrils and exhaling through the mouth with the chin lowered. The posture must be relaxed, with a straight spine, whether seated on the floor or a chair. Exercises include neck rotations, lateral stretches, and twists, all performed slowly to benefit the spine and the chakra system. Consistent practice ensures the neck remains free from stiffness, especially for those engaged in sedentary work. "This is a very, very important chakra or center for us, and this is in the Kuṇḍalinī Yoga." "This movement, this exercise is especially for the Viśuddhi Cakra and mostly for our thyroid, our throat."

AUM and Chakras

The resonance of OM and the balance of the nāḍīs govern health and consciousness. The body is a system of 72,000 nerves, centered on three primary channels: the left, the right, and the central Suṣumṇā. The left nostril, or moon channel, governs emotion and change, influenced by lunar tides. The right nostril, or sun channel, represents steady consciousness and solar fire. Their alternating flow every 14 minutes balances the hemispheres and glands. Prāṇāyāma purifies these channels. Techniques like Nāḍī Śodhana involve alternate-nostril breathing to cleanse the nervous system indirectly through lung and blood purification, not by forcing air into nerves. Chanting OM, with its four sounds originating from the navel, creates resonance that heals internal organs. Physical practice must begin with gentle body warming to prepare the joints and circulation, not with advanced postures. Headaches are addressed through hydration and postures like forward bends to increase cranial blood flow. Breath exercises like Bhastrikā and Kapālabhāti cleanse the head and remove tension. Ultimately, these practices relax all nāḍīs, dissolve stress, and restore natural health. "The left nostril is the moon. The principle of the moon is water, and the principle of the water is emotion." "We cannot put the air in our nerves, but it goes through the purification of our lungs, our oxygen."

Yoga and the creation

Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness. Before creation, there was only empty space and consciousness. From that came resonance, the primal sound Om. This resonance manifested as light and then as Śiva, pure consciousness, and Śakti, creative energy. All creation, including 8.4 million life forms, emerged from this. The human being contains this entire universe within. The individual soul is not separate; it is one with the universal consciousness, like a drop of water is one with the ocean. The path back to this origin is yoga, which means union. The human system is composed of five sheaths: the physical body, the energy body, the mental body, the intellectual body, and the sheath of bliss. The mind is the most powerful force. The physical body contains 72,000 energy channels, with three principal ones: the lunar, the solar, and the central channel. These must be balanced. Within the body are energy centers, or chakras, which correspond to different levels of consciousness, from the earthly to the divine. Kuṇḍalinī is the dormant spiritual energy at the base of the spine. Its awakening is not a physical sensation but an expansion of pure consciousness, bringing happiness, peace, and clarity. True yoga is the gentle, disciplined practice that harmonizes these energies to realize the inherent oneness. "God is you. You are the God, but this God is manipulated." "Yoga means union, uniting, harmonizing, this together. Yoga is a consciousness in yoga." Filming location: Sydney, Australia

How to control the problems

The Viśuddhi Chakra is a center of immense energy and responsibility, holding the poison we swallow from life. This poison is the negative words, thoughts, and energies from others that we internalize, blocking our throat center. It manifests as physical ailments like thyroid issues and as fear. Fear is essential for safety; without it, we are in danger. This emotional poison must be purified through correct meditation. Do not run away by imagining distant, beautiful scenes. You must go within yourself to solve problems. The human being is composed of five sheaths: the physical body, the energy body, the mental body, the wisdom body, and the bliss body. Our true self is the soul, which is one and indestructible. To navigate this, we need a master and practice. Ego in thinking you need no master leads to disaster. A true Satguru's guidance and mantra, practiced diligently like a mala even in sleep, are essential. They provide the awareness on the path. All techniques and knowledge ultimately flow from that one source. Concentrate on your inner self, not on external distractions. "Meditation—different kinds of meditation... but from all this we run away." "If you have no fear, you are in danger." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

Awakening energies in our body

A personal story illustrates how releasing mental blockages can manifest as physical release and flexibility. A long-held pattern of homesickness created a negative perception of one's environment. When compelled to stay and confront this feeling, a moment of acceptance occurred. This mental shift immediately resulted in a dramatic, inexplicable increase in physical flexibility the very next day. The experience demonstrates that stored mental and emotional energy can create physical blockages. Releasing these inner constrictions allows dormant energy to flow. This principle applies to the cakra system, where blockages can influence well-being. The practical method for awakening dormant energy in the body involves simple physical exercises. Blocking and releasing circulation in the hands demonstrates how to consciously direct energy. Regularly practicing such techniques awakens dormant centers and promotes health. "Once that’s released and softened and let go of, that is really, for me, the blessing." "It is not a miracle at all. The circulation was blocked, and other centers which are dormant now receive energy." Filming locations: Jadan, Rajasthan, India.

The qualities of Vishuddhi Chakra

The Viśuddhi Chakra is explained through cosmic principles and their manifestation in the human body. Kundalini awakening is the expansion of consciousness into oneness, not a physical movement. The chakras are symbolic centers of dormant energy. In creation, Shiva manifests first from the resonance of sound in empty space. Shiva then creates Vishnu and Brahma, forming the trinity of dissolution, preservation, and creation. A story illustrates duality: deities and demons churned the ocean, producing both nectar and poison. To save creation, Shiva drank the poison but held it in his throat, which turned blue. This is why the Vishuddhi Chakra is located at the throat. This stored poison symbolizes unresolved tensions and stress, which manifest as physical ailments like thyroid issues when emotions are neither expressed nor released. The solution is through yogic practices like Sarvangasana and pranayama to release this blocked energy and restore balance. True Kundalini awakening is the clarity of consciousness and liberation. "Kundalini is the awakening of consciousness in a wide space. When we come to the Kundalini, then we become one." "Shiva took this poison and he drank it... he held it in his throat."

Open and relax your Vishuddhi Chakra

A guided meditation on the Viśuddhi Chakra for purification. Relax the body and feel the breath. The true Self is one with the entire universe, beyond the duality of the mortal body and immortal consciousness. Observe the body without identifying with it; use prāṇa to purify and overcome discomfort. Practice subtle contraction and relaxation with the breath to awaken energy along the spine. Focus awareness on the major energy centers: the navel, the heart, and the throat. The Viśuddhi Chakra is a critical border; its imbalance disorders the body's trunk. Physical postures, breath control, and sound vibration purify this center. The poison of unspoken words and negative emotions is held here. Maintain a single spiritual guide and practice consistently to release this tension and achieve balance. "The Self, the Self is one. I am, I am, I am that, and that I am. We are all oneness." "Viṣ means poison. Siddha means purifying... The poison of the anger of the humans, the poison of not speaking—you are swallowing everything."

Glimpse of Kundalini

All beings possess a soul, which is ultimately one universal consciousness. Humans, animals, and vegetation all contain life, a soul. The apparent multitude of souls is like water taken from one ocean into separate vessels; the essence is one. Our being is composed of five elemental sheaths—physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and blissful—which house the individual soul. These elements disperse at death, but the soul continues. Liberation is the merging of this individual consciousness with the cosmic whole. This requires purification beyond good and bad karma. The human body contains energy centres, or chakras, connected by subtle channels. Systematic practice of breath control and meditation purifies these energies, balancing the body and progressing consciousness toward unity. "In reality, there is only one soul, and that one soul is present on our earth." "Meditation is not a way to come out, but it is a way to stay on the good path, to remain on that path."

The Purpose of Human Life

Chakras are centers within us, akin to tiny points where everything exists. We call them lotuses, the king of flowers, which grow in muddy water and open at dawn during Brahma Muhurta. This pre-sunrise hour is pure, ideal for spiritual practice and study, as consciousness is gentle and unclouded by the day's dust. Each chakra is a lotus within the body, its petals unfolding light and energy to bring consciousness into your being. With age, like a lotus that cannot fully close, we may lose strength. Yoga's practices—postures, breath, and meditation—help restore vitality. Modern life, with chemical food and manipulated seeds, diminishes our natural energy and health. Chakras exist throughout the body, from feet to head, depicted with lotus petals. Their purpose is purification, rising above past karma like a lotus untouched by dirty water. Humans possess these centers for awakening consciousness to the cosmic, unlike animals. We are born not for hatred but to merge with the divine. Our soul, carrying its karma, is like water that evaporates and rains, eventually returning to the ocean of cosmic self. Good and bad karma must be balanced and left behind through good works and the burdens taken by others. Each chakra holds wisdom and symbols, like the elephant Ganesha, representing essential elements for health. Awakening comes through dedicated practice and meditation, which allows consciousness to expand and contract, moving toward liberation. "Within that point, everything exists; we are inside it." "Our soul, our life, our individuality, our destiny is with us." Filming location: Sunshine Coast, Australia

Meditation

Meditation is the spontaneous state of oneness with the Self, not a practice of concentration. The soul searches for its destination within. Coming home to oneself after daily duties is meditation. It cannot be forced, just as sleep cannot be forced by trying. Concentration on objects or thoughts is merely preparation. True meditation is like the unknowable moment of falling asleep, a natural arrival. The dream state reveals one's personal reality, which can be consciously mastered through training. Maintaining a single technique is essential, as changing methods creates disturbance. The guided practice is concentration, a step toward the distant goal of spontaneous meditation. "Meditation is that which you cannot practice. But it comes from itself." "The dream is your reality." Filming locations: Cherkasy, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine.

Preserving good health

Health begins with the elements of space (Ākāśa) and air (Vāyu). Modern life, with refrigeration and processed foods, leads us to consume dead, out-of-season food lacking life energy, which causes illness. We exist within and are sustained by space; it is the fundamental emptiness within the body, like in nostrils or intestines, where there is no pain. This internal space requires the support of air. We inhale and exhale air, which purifies the body, yet we pollute it by living in sealed rooms and using pesticides. Illnesses enter through these polluted spaces and air. Purification is achieved through prāṇāyāma, conscious breathing that cleanses the entire body. Our skin also breathes, but we block its pores with oils and creams. To be healthy, we must eat fresh, seasonal food cooked at home, live in naturally ventilated spaces with earth-based materials, and regularly connect with the earth. Our artificial environments and habits are the true causes of disease. "If you put a dead body in a fridge and after some days, months, or years you bring it out, do you think it is alive? The soul is gone. Similarly, it doesn’t matter if it is a vegetable or anything else." "This air and space, these two, are the cause of illnesses. The space is not purposely becoming polluted. And air also doesn’t become polluted, but this is what we humans are doing." Filming location: Cherkasy, Ukraine

The Soul and the Guru

Receiving a guru's guidance is life's supreme gift, creating a duty to nurture the future. Hearing sacred teachings signifies past good karma. A guru's presence confirms this fortune. Following these teachings transforms life, an unexplainable spiritual magic. This gathering is not by chance; only seeds in good soil bear worthy fruit. The young practitioners demonstrate yoga's future; they are tomorrow's culture. Their direction determines the world's path. Upholding tradition is a sacred duty. Parents are the first gurus, shaping the child like clay. Education in wisdom, love, and yoga is the primary responsibility. Various teachers appear, but the spiritual master provides ultimate guidance. The physical body is temporary, like water in a palm. The eternal soul seeks purpose. True fulfillment comes from creating good karma. One must seek a genuine master within an authentic lineage. The real guru is singular, like one father and mother. Do not hurry or seek miracles. Hold to your roots. Water the roots to sustain the entire tree. "only the grain that gets into the land of the righteous gives fruits worthy of the one who planted it." "Children are the culture of tomorrow; children are the success of tomorrow." Filming locations: Cherkasy, Cherkasy Oblast, Ukraine.

The fire element

The fire element is crucial for spiritual and physical health. Fire represents both divine light and destructive forces within us. The light of wisdom brings peace, harmony, and positive thoughts, creating a beautiful spiritual atmosphere. Without this light, darkness and ignorance lead to depression and blaming others. Anger is a negative fire that burns consciousness, and modern burnout stems from this inner pressure. Various sacred fires exist: the crematorium's fire, the altar's divine light, and ceremonial fires for foundations, housewarmings, and marriages. These Agni rituals establish harmony; neglecting them invites discord. Digestive fire, jāṭharāgni, governs physical health and temperature. All illness begins in the elemental space. Maintaining the five elements through yogic principles is essential for good health, recognizing God in all things. "Do not do any mistakes. For example, you drink poison and think, 'Afterwards, I will do good things.' But after this poison, it has killed you already." "When you give a donation, it is not yours anymore. And if you give, and then you are giving some commentary, then you are giving good things, it is not anymore valid for your good." Filming location: Cherkasy, Ukraine

The Oneness of the Soul and the Path of Kuṇḍalinī

The soul is one, not many. Consider water: it exists as ocean, cloud, river, and drop, yet remains one water. Pollution or salt alters its quality, not its essence. Fire is fire, whether a spark or a wildfire; there is no small or large fire. Similarly, there is no small or big soul. Earth is one, though humans divide it with boundaries. The soul is that one life, that one light. Duality is an illusion; in truth, all is one. You are not separate from God. The supreme soul, Paramatmā, is formless like sound—untouchable yet present. Your inner energy, Kuṇḍalinī, is this divine power. When purified through practice, the soul ascends like a pure white swan to oneness. "Water is one, but the quality of pollution is different. The pollution is not the water." "Fire is now happening in Australia... There is a small spark of fire... It is very small, but it can become a big fire. So there is no small soul and no big soul." Filming location: Sunshine Coast, Australia

Protect Yourself, Keep Discipline

Protect health and know the value of human life. Pollution from pesticides, sound, and vehicles makes protection difficult. Practice prāṇāyāma a minimum twice daily and techniques like Śaṅkha Prakṣālana. Cultivate organic food, even in small spaces, and avoid junk food entirely; fasting is preferable. Illness enters through personal mistake, not by chance. Despite pain or age, the human body enables prayer, worship, and meditation, which animals cannot do. This human life is precious, as there is no guarantee of rebirth as human. Discipline in diet and action is essential. Do not wish for death despite suffering, or you lose this opportunity. "Know the value of human life. Yes, and sādhanā. Otherwise we lose that human quality, human lives." "The illness didn’t jump into our body. Definitely, somewhere we made a mistake."

The ancient science of Yoga

Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness for human well-being. Humans uniquely possess self-awareness and the capacity for both good and bad. We have the freedom to choose our path. To know ourselves is the goal. Ancient scriptures describe creation emerging from a primordial resonance. The human body is a network of 72,000 nerves and energy centers called cakras. These range from basic physical centers in the feet to divine centers in the head. Purifying these through practices like prāṇāyāma balances the body and mind. Kuṇḍalinī is the latent spiritual energy at the base of the spine. Awakening it is a profound science. Yoga offers practical techniques for health and self-realization. It requires daily dedication, but the benefits are immense. "Do you believe in me? My son, then release your hands." "Yoga is the best for your life. You can do it for your health, for concentration, for some diseases, for happiness—many things." Filming location: Gold Coast, Australia

The Ambassador of India in Mahaprabhu Dip Ashram, Strilky

The gathering marks a Yoga in Daily Life retreat and Rakṣā Bandhan celebration at Mahāprabhudīp Āśram. The āśram stands as a spiritual lighthouse for seekers crossing the ocean of māyā. For over four decades yoga practice has flourished in this region. More than one million citizens have engaged with the system. Children are the culture of tomorrow; their program includes Vedic mantras and the Bārikatu exercises. The Rakṣā Bandhan festival binds brothers and sisters in a knot of protection. It signifies understanding, brotherhood, compassion, and honor to women. The festival carries an ancient story of a king who accepted a wise girl as his sister. A global initiative urges the United Nations to declare an International Day of Brothers and Sisters. The sustainable development agenda provides a framework to solve planetary problems. All 17 goals are interconnected and require action from every citizen. Spiritual paths support each other, though they appear different. The same light draws all seekers to the living truth. Blessings flow to those who serve with devotion. The Yoga in Daily Life system brings body, mind, and soul into harmony. Gratitude extends to the teacher who brought this ancient wisdom to the West. “This āśram is for all of us and for all spiritual seekers, something like a lighthouse on the coast.” “Rakṣā Bandhan is the festival of understanding, brotherhood, compassion, and honor to women.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Muladhara Chakra meditation

A guided meditation activates energy and balances the chakras. Begin by generating heat in the palms through rubbing and directing that energy to the brain and kuṇḍalinī. Physical postures like bending forward increase blood circulation to the head. Sitting in Vajrāsana helps balance the seven chakras: Mūlādhāra, Svādhiṣṭhāna, Maṇipūra, Anāhata, Viśuddhi, Ājñā, and Sahasrāra. Their purification leads to good physical and mental health. The kuṇḍalinī is a dormant energy, symbolized by a serpent but corresponding to the three nerves: Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā. Meditation and chanting techniques move energy from the Nābhi to the Sahasrāra Cakra. Two divine principles exist: consciousness and energy. "These seven trunks also spread the energy and balance all our seven chakras." "There are two principles, male and female, which means not this, divine, the consciousness and energy, the śaktis."

Practicing with Kundalini

Kuṇḍalinī practice demands unwavering commitment over years, and the Mūlādhāra Chakra is its foundation. Kuṇḍalinī is not a brief or casual undertaking; it requires years of sustained effort. Perceiving physical movement or vibration in the spine signals psychic disturbance, not awakening. The practice must be deeply peaceful, drawing awareness into an expanding inner space. Only the serious student receives true teaching; the master offers mere pleasantries to the insincere. A student must not waver between masters; that wastes time and energy. A true master does not simply grant mantras on request. Once a master is accepted, the bond remains for life and beyond. Honor the mantra already received from a genuine master. The disciple’s heart confirms discipleship, just as the master’s own master conferred duty. Switching paths uproots and kills the seed of growth. Mūlādhāra means “root support,” the foundation of all chakras. Its symbolism includes the four-petaled lotus and Gaṇeśa, the elephant-headed deity representing strength and the seven bodily constituents. Balanced constituents yield perfect health. Kuṇḍalinī is the opening of Divine Consciousness, not a physical sensation. Its awakening restores health, happiness, and wisdom. “If you undertake kuṇḍalinī, it continues for years upon years.” “Attempting it for a week or two, attending a seminar, and then stopping is mere amusement.” “If you already have a mantra from a true master, do not ask me for another.” “It is like planting a seed and then, after some time, uprooting it... The seed dies.” Filming location: Melbourne, Australia

Shiva and the Chakras

The master brings the nectar of immortality, liberating one from the cycle of life and death. Through this connection, one finds the divine within and achieves liberation while living. The Satguru bestows this knowledge, revealing the universe within the self and granting unending bliss. This wisdom is the true medicine. Memory is preserved through story and song, not mere data. Ayurveda is the knowledge of life, stemming from the primordial nectar. All creation—roots, herbs, and trees—holds divine, healing power. This system classifies plants as Jāḍī (roots), Bhūtī (herbs), and Vanaspatī (leaves), each to be honored. Human disconnection from nature causes disease. The body's chakras connect to these elements: the feet to earth, ankles to knees to vegetation, and knees to hips to animal qualities. Practice grounding on the earth and self-awareness. The root chakra is the foundation, and the highest chakra borders the divine. The human journey is to cultivate these connections and realize one's true nature. "Gurujī brought my, somehow the medicine or the nectar of immortality." "Through that which he gave to me, that knowledge, I understood that I am immortal." Filming location: Melbourne, Australia

Don't change the Master

The entire universe exists within the human being. All life, from water to sky, is one soul. Development occurs in physical form on Earth. The human system is like a car requiring an engineer; that inner engineer is you. External help and medicine are limited, unable to enter your consciousness. The science for this is yoga, the path of kuṇḍalinī. Kuṇḍalinī is not a sensation rising up the spine; that is a mental problem. The cakras are your life, layers around the self. You travel through them asking, "Who am I?" Self-realization is becoming one with the Supreme. This requires a systematic path, not changing exercises or masters. Yoga is lost in India; the West must bring it back. Development is internal. You must proceed steadily on one path with one master, like having one mother and father. You are a brilliant diamond covered in dust; purification happens through the cakras. Your inner chakra is your master. You repair your own problems through meditation, returning to the point of your mantra. Your consciousness should be smooth like a swan, not erratic like a crow. The nerve system of iḍā, piṅgalā, and suṣumṇā balances the cakras, with the vajranāḍī as the strong root. The soul departs swiftly at death; its exit point indicates one's karma. Do not fear. Think positively. Your mantra's energy, through the master-disciple bond, leads to liberation. "Everything that exists in the entire universe is within the human being." "You are that brilliant diamond in the whole universe." Filming location: Melbourne, Australia

Agya Chakra

Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, a divine blessing beyond imagination. The universe is endless space containing consciousness, united by the principle of yoga, which means balance, harmony, and unity. From the first divine wish of multiplication arose the sound Aum, from which all creation manifested as consciousness and matter. This planet, a living entity of five elements, hosts 8.4 million life forms. Humans were added as the sole creature endowed with intellect to realize the immortal Self and transcend the cycle where life consumes life. The human body, composed of the five elements, contains 72,000 energy channels and chakras. Three primary channels—Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna—govern emotion, intellect, and consciousness, meeting at the Ajna Chakra. Yoga practice, particularly through discipline and techniques like Pranayama, balances these energies, stills restless thoughts, and awakens higher consciousness. The aim is to realize the immortal Atman, which is beyond birth, death, and karma, and to awaken the inner wisdom. "Yoga means balance, harmony, and unity. These three are the main things in the universe." "Yogaś citta vṛtti nirodhaḥ: now your restless thoughts begin to disappear." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The path of happiness

The soul's journey is defined by two fundamental paths: ascent and downfall. Time is a human construct irrelevant to spiritual progress. The temporary body, composed of five elements, houses the soul for its development toward cosmic union. External help for inner problems is limited. Lasting happiness cannot be granted by others; it is a personal achievement. The path of uṭhān leads to development and self-realization, while patan leads to distraction and unhappiness. These divergent paths stem from a single origin, like two leaves from one seed, shaped by destiny and company. Destiny, as written, appears fixed, yet it can be altered through inner mastery and guidance. Association with good company or satsaṅg turns one toward ascent, while bad company leads to downfall. Ultimately, you must awaken yourself to the right path. "Your master cannot give you self-realization from outside. He is giving you some ideas, some techniques, some good words, or he can turn yourself to that path which will lead you to your destination." "If you go and control thyself, and you go within, inner, then you can change your destiny." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Christmas Satsang with H.H. Vishwaguruji

The soul's journey is from form to the formless, from division to oneness. The source of creation is ancient and beyond human chronology, found in the Himalayas where spiritual roots connect to Śiva's kingdom. Divine manifestations appear across countless yugas, yet God has no form, mother, or father. Religions and saints arise, each claiming truth, but this leads to conflict over whose God is older or better. No one has truly seen God; to claim divinity invites crucifixion. The soul incarnates through 8.4 million lifeforms, each composed of the five elements. Spiritual practice refines the soul like coal becoming a diamond through immense pressure and time. Human jealousy pulls down those who rise, mirroring global and national conflicts. Truth alone triumphs, not in human time but in divine timing. Scriptures are injections against wrongdoing. All divine names point to one reality. Hold to your inner truth against all temptation and criticism. Purify your energy and keep your heart pure to complete the human journey. "O my mind, please walk carefully, slowly, slowly. This is a dark night, a very slippery road." "Īśvara and Allāh are both one. O Lord, give good thoughts to every human."

Unity in spirituality

This is a time of global celebration and unity in divine praise. The message of oneness is spread through yoga, transcending all borders and divisions. Personal travels through many nations demonstrate this universal work. The essence of all religions is one God, though human ego creates conflict. The core spiritual truth is that creation emanates from a single consciousness. All souls originate from and return to one divine source, like drops to an ocean. Therefore, live in harmony, forgive, and do good. "Religion means to realize your relation to God; this is called religion." "Every soul is the same. From the ocean comes the fog... joined again into the ocean." Filming location: Villach, Austria

Christmas Time

December is a month of divine happiness for gathering and rejoicing. This time originates from ancient harvest festivals where communities stored food and celebrated together. Such celebrations exist across cultures, like Holi in India or local festivals in Austria. This period creates a collective spiritual atmosphere. It is a time to forgive, to cleanse negative energies, and to express love and respect within families. The essence is to create joy and spiritual connection, regardless of specific religious narratives. The holy figures like Jesus or Krishna are remembered not only for their joy but for the profound suffering they and their mothers endured. Their stories remind us to pray for them and to cultivate love in our own hearts. "Rejoice, rejoice... this month is the month of happiness." "His holy Gurujī said, 'Kṛṣṇa knows the Gītā.'" The foundation of well-being in Ayurveda is a series of happinesses. The first happiness is a healthy body, nirogī kāyā. The second is wealth and harmony in the home. The third is a good, supportive partner. The fourth is obedient children. The fifth is good neighbors. True health begins in the kitchen; diet is the primary treatment. The greatest obstacles are the tongue's two functions: harmful speech and craving for taste. Discipline in eating is essential. Practice prāṇāyāma to cleanse the body and support health. Reduce food intake gradually, bite by bite, over months to see transformation. Do not blame others for poor health; take responsibility for your habits. "Pehla Sukh Nirogi Kaya, dujā Sukh, ghar meṁ māyā." "The tongue is a gun. When you pull the gun’s trigger, the bullet... is gone. It will not come back." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

Prayer before eating

Food is a holy source of life and nourishment. The dried Panchkuta vegetable requires significant effort to harvest and prepare. Its ingredients, like guṇḍā, benefit the gums and joints. Cooking involves frying spices in oil, adding a mixed masala, and combining it with the pre-cooked vegetable. Human development distinguishes us from animals; we possess intellect to discern virtue from sin. Great sages taught that humans should sustain themselves on vegetation, not by consuming life. We pray before eating, acknowledging the divine source of our nourishment. This practice cultivates gratitude and purity, recognizing that food is prāṇa, or living energy. Spiritual seekers request nourishment for knowledge and detachment, not for indulgence. "Humans have more intellect, more feelings to know what is sin and what is good." "Where there is love, there is no cruelty. Where there is love, you cannot kill any creature." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Vedas

The Vedas are the holy scriptures of Sanātana Dharma, representing a vast river of knowledge. This knowledge was originally transmitted orally from master to disciple through Śruti, listening, and Smṛti, memory. In the Kali Yuga, human memory declined. To preserve the Vedas, the sage Vedavyāsa dictated them continuously. Gaṇeśa agreed to write them down on the condition that the dictation never stop. Gaṇeśa used his own tusk as a writing instrument. The knowledge contained within the Vedas is immeasurable, likened to the entire Himalayan mountain range compared to a mere handful of dust. All spiritual paths and practices originate from yoga. The goal is to internalize this knowledge through practice and meditation, ultimately cultivating peace within oneself to share with the world. "Śruti is what we listen to from the master—remembering the master's teaching. Smṛti is memory, so that one becomes the master or the great receiver who knows everything by heart." "Till now, what you have learned is only as much as the dust in your hand. And the Vedas are like the whole Himalaya." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Pranayama and the five elements

Prāṇa is life, sustained by breath and water. Practice prāṇāyāma diligently, inhaling through the nostrils and exhaling through the mouth. Reduce food intake gradually over years, not through abrupt fasting, to build strength and oxygenate the body. Breath nourishes the 72,000 nerves, which are like roots seeking water and space. Where there is water, there is life and divinity. Avoid blocking the lips with substances like lipstick, as lips must stay humid to connect with the navel, the body's root. Applying ghee to the navel can heal lip blisters overnight, demonstrating this connection. Modern chemicals, including medicines and contaminants, are not fully accepted by the body and damage natural systems like the lungs and waterways. Cultivate the natural elements within through yogic science. "Where there is water, there is God. What is God? It is called life." "The breath we inhale is not only the air we feel in the lungs. The quality of our breath spreads into the hundreds or thousands of nerve systems." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
