The unity of Śiva and Śakti is the non-dual foundation of creation and spiritual practice. The entire world is one family under one divine source. Śiva is Svayaṃbhu, the self-manifested source from the five elements, and the author of yoga. Śakti is the universal power or energy present in all things, not a gender. Every person contains this essence. Two fundamental powers exist from creation: Daivī Śakti, the divine power of protection and love, and Āsurī Śakti, the power of ignorance, hate, and cruelty. Darkness is removed by igniting the inner light of knowledge. All dualities in the body, like the two hemispheres of the brain or the two eyes, reflect this united energy. Through consistent practice and willpower, one cultivates the divine power to heal and achieve enlightenment. "Śiva is the one who is called Svayaṃbhu. Svayaṃbhū means no one has created him—neither mother nor father." "Darkness will not go, but we just make a little light within, in no time, darkness is gone." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

Yoga is a science of body, mind, and soul. The first happiness is good health. Practice includes physical, mental, and spiritual exercises. Humans suffer from uncontrolled desires, ignorance, and bad habits. Karma is action and reaction, like biting your tongue. Yoga requires only time and regular practice. It is a lifelong discipline. Control of senses and thoughts is essential. Look within for the joy of the Ātmā. The blind man missed the door when distracted, so seek without diversion. Strong willpower is needed. Food should be local and organic to avoid pesticides. Reduce chemical use in water and on the body. Yoga activates the whole body system. Practice daily for one and a half hours. Trust yourself. "The first happiness is good health, the first wealth is good health." "Within you is the joy of the Ātmā." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

The subject is satsaṅg, the true company that guides us from darkness to light. The first education comes from the mother, then from both parents, as taught in the Upaniṣads. Modern education often fails the youth, who lack direction. Children lose the lap of their parents to kindergartens and toys, which cannot provide true education. This leads to patan, or destruction, seen in drug use and disrespect. Utthān, or development, comes from humility and spirituality. We must distinguish between satsaṅg (good society) and kusaṅg (bad society). Many modern diseases stem from junk food and swallowed emotional problems like fear and anxiety, which affect specific organs. Yoga is a science for health, not sport. We all come from the Sun, and the soul is on an eternal journey dictated by destiny. Practice chanting "Aum" to channel solar energy from the navel through the chakras to heal and awaken the brain. "Sat means the truth, and saṅg means to be together. In good company, with good friends, we learn good things." "Hope is the walking stick from the cradle to the grave."

Prāṇāyāma consists of three actions: inhalation, exhalation, and retention. These form the core of breath control. The practice serves to purify and strengthen the lungs, enabling longer breath retention. Different techniques like Bhastrikā or Ujjāyī apply these three actions for specific purposes. The ultimate aim of sādhanā is to purify the inner instrument, the Antakaraṇa. External service is secondary to inner purity. Masters in the causal body perceive only this purity. One must avoid the pitfalls of spiritual power. Using siddhi or teaching techniques without mastery leads to a fall. Remain steadfast in one tradition; do not mix paths or compare masters. The river may curve, but the essence flows onward. "Only your purity matters." "You should become a Siddha but not use the siddhi."

The human body is a precious instrument for spiritual science. Our physical existence is temporary, yet we must care for this vehicle. Knowledge is infinite, as illustrated by the sage who studied the Vedas for ages but had learned only a handful of dust compared to the entire mountain. All beings experience pain, and causing suffering is a sin. Modern diseases correlate with consumption of afflicted animals. Humans are free to choose their nourishment and their spiritual direction. The science of yoga is encoded within the body, particularly in the resonance of the chakras represented by Sanskrit letters. This vibration harmonizes our five bodies. A practical technique uses the sound "A" to generate solar energy from the navel, promoting healing and vitality. This sound vibration, when practiced correctly, can alleviate depression and improve memory by enhancing circulation in the brain. "Whoever comes will go." "What you have learned until now is only as much as this dust in your hands." Filming locations: Rijeka, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia.

True spiritual practice transcends superstition and external rituals. Monday is Śiva's day, a day for fasting. Each weekday connects to a planetary influence. While cosmic influences hold some truth, they are not ultimate. Sages may have created systems like astrology to control unruly human nature, prescribing rituals as a calming injection. Do not be enslaved by predictions or fear of bad constellations. Control the planets of your own senses and ambition. Many promise miracles or liberation through expensive techniques, but these are often deceptions like staged levitation. Liberation requires purifying the inner instrument: be humble, pure, and free from jealousy and slander. Do not judge others, for to label another bad first requires the thought of bad within yourself. Practice sincerely without running after masters. Self-Realization is not guaranteed by any person; it is determined at life's final moment. Be normal, purify desires, and love all. "Control the planet of your indriyas, your senses. Control your ambition." "Who has never done some mistake or sin? That one should send, throw the first stone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Satsang with Vishwaguru Maheshwarananda, Strilky ashram, Czech Republic. There are different ways to live the life. If someone is not working properly this person will live in the rented apartment for the whole life. With good way of living we will be able to buy a house and live a better life. Vishwaguruji tells the story of the merchant's boy who misunderstood the advices of his father. This is similar between the master and disciple.

Satsang with Vishwaguru Maheshwarananda, Strilky ashram, Czech Republic. When spring comes nature is again growing. Creation was began with Shiva. Rain at the full moon night is a blessing for the new life. According to the scriptures the Jiva comes to the Earth with the water element. God is like the mother and father. We are like the children. Masters are cleaning our karmas with help of the Satsang.

The ego of a devotee is cured by divine grace through humility. Even great beings can develop pride in their service. Hanumān once believed Rāma's victory depended entirely on him. Earlier, Garuḍa also lost faith after rescuing Rāma from a snake-arrow, thinking God needed his help. Garuḍa, in despair, was told only the crow-sage Kakabhuśuṇḍī could cure him. As Garuḍa approached, hearing the sage's discourse restored his devotion, and he saw even the gods listening. To cure Hanumān's pride, Rāma sent him to deliver a ring to a sage in the Himalayas. The sage told Hanumān to throw it into a pond, which was filled with identical rings from every divine incarnation. Hanumān then understood his role was not unique but part of an eternal cycle, curing his ego. "Hanumānjī became proud. He thought, 'If I were not, Rāma would not be successful.'" "Hanumān, don’t be proud. Don’t think that through your help, Rāma was victorious... It was a test for you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The birthday of Hanumān teaches the power of selfless devotion and the true nature of the soul. Nutrition supports the physical body, the Annamaya Kośa. Vegetarian food is fundamental for health. Quitting sugar improves digestion and reduces parasites. Speaking sweet words harmonizes everything, while bitter words are poison. Hanumānjī incarnated as the support of Rāma, born thousands of years ago. He was the incarnation of Śiva, possessing immense strength and swiftness. To enter Laṅkā, he became as small as a mouse, slipping under the gate. He searched for a devotee and heard Vibhīṣaṇa chanting Rāma’s name. A true sādhu is defined by humility, not by outward dress. Hanumān tore open his chest to reveal Rāma and Sītā dwelling within. He leaped to the Himalayas to fetch the Sañjīvanī herb, overcoming many obstacles. When shot by Bharata, he declared, “Without fulfilling duty to God, there is no rest.” The herb revived Lakṣmaṇa, demonstrating the power of devotion. Hanumān represents the jīvātmā—your will, strength, and knowledge. Rāma is the Ātmā, the eternal God within the heart. Fear is Rāvaṇa; chanting the Hanumān Chālīsā removes fear and gives protection. “Bin hari kṛpā mile nahī santah” — Without the grace of God, you cannot find a saint. “Rāma kāja kī mohe kahāṁ biśrāma” — Without fulfilling my duty to my God, how can I rest?

Maintain cultural and spiritual harmony through yoga and compassion. Cultural festivals should be preserved and celebrated to educate future generations. All religions contain harmony, but politics often creates conflict. Brotherhood must be created globally, respecting all faiths without negative influence. Yoga serves two aims: ensuring good health to reduce aggression and awakening inner peace. Harmony and love naturally arise in a spiritual community, not through force or transaction. True giving benefits the giver without loss, fostering positive karma. Spiritual figures often faced hardship, reminding us to see the divine in everyone and cultivate good qualities. "Yoga has two aims. That is the science of body, mind, and soul. Yoga is for good health." "Give or not, but you take all the karmas of that poor person, that will reflect on us."

The soul's journey is from separation from the divine source back to union with it. The individual soul, or jīva, originates from the supreme oneness, like a water droplet separating from the ocean through evaporation. This droplet then longs to return. The cycle of the soul mirrors the water cycle: it ascends, travels, and descends back to earth, entering vegetation and bodies. Satsang is the boat to cross the ocean of separation, guided by the Guru or the holy scripture, which embodies the Guru's presence. Constant repetition of the divine name, like "Ram," is a highway to that goal. However, our physical actions create karma. We poison the earth and water with chemicals from soaps, cosmetics, and medicines, which is violence against nature and ourselves. True spirituality requires internal purity and non-violence in all conduct, as everything is counted. Liberation comes from realizing you cannot hide your actions from yourself or the divine. "From the ocean, the jīva is in the water, the soul is in the water." "This drop is called Jīva. And when this drop falls into the ocean, the Jīva becomes the Ātmā." Filming location: London, UK

The guru removes darkness with light, and the soul journeys through attachments to liberation. The first gurus are mother and father, imparting the knowledge of being human. Then friends teach lessons aligned or not. The soul, pure in the womb, slowly encounters worldly toys. A child clings to toys, crying if they are taken. In teenage years, the search for a partner begins, but modern attachments often lead to broken toys and damaged souls. Man and woman are two wings; separation cuts the wings, leaving the soul wounded. Later, the last toy becomes hope, God, spirituality. With a true master, one can rise on the divine path, but falling cuts the wing again. When the wing is missing, death approaches like a cat. The master shapes the disciple like iron in fire, hammering to make a beautiful instrument, never destroying. The master who creates a statue then bows, seeing the divine. External troubles swallowed into the body attack weak organs, causing suffering. The soul then neither dares to leave nor wants to stay. A technique of chanting Om from the navel to the crown, with hollow palms over the ears, vibrates every brain cell, relieving depression and awakening memory. "That soul is so pure, it has no worldly spots on it. Slowly, slowly, this māyā will begin." "The master puts it again in the fire and gives the air. Again, it becomes hot. Take the hammer and work."

The eternal journey of the soul is our core inquiry. Ādi Śaṅkarācārya's essential question is "Who am I?" I am not this temporary body, which is composed of five elements. The soul enters mortal life through four paths: vegetation, microorganisms, egg-born creatures, and womb-born creatures like humans. This soul is on an endless journey, like a river flowing to the ocean, experiencing many lives based on karma. The human life is a critical opportunity. If we miss our righteous path, we go backwards; if we attain liberation, Mokṣa, we also return, as there is nothing higher. You are not merely eating and breeding; you have a higher purpose. Souls can be trapped, like a bird in a cage, by their own karma. Your spiritual presence here can help liberate such souls. In truth, there is no gender in the soul; non-duality is the ultimate reality. This body is an instrument for the soul. At death, the soul exits through specific channels; a yogi's soul departs through the crown. The journey continues. "Who am I? I am not this body. The body is just a cover." "The soul, with the soul which is in one, life enters. Now, endless journey, flowing and flowing." Filming location: London, UK

The eternal journey of the soul is the subject. The soul is not the five elements or the five sheaths: the physical body, the energy body, the mental body, the intellectual body, and the bliss body. The mind coordinates the five senses of knowledge and the five senses of action. It is a reflection of our actions, like a reflection in a mirror. Self-knowledge asks: who am I? From where did I come? Where am I going? The soul is a divine light, equal in all beings. It enters through the navel, connected to the solar plexus and the sound of the sun. The soul's residence is in the heart. One must be vigilant with karma, as a single mistake can undo a lifetime of good work. Realization requires persistent understanding, not merely intellectual knowledge. "Ko’ham—who am I? I am not these five elements." "Do not think that the elephant has a big soul and the mosquito or ant has a small soul. The soul is like a fire." Filming location: London, UK

The inner government of the self is established through practice, not theory. Our primary country is the body and mind. We must govern this inner world first, choosing nourishment wisely. We cannot negotiate with the inner world; blaming others creates guilt that reflects back as disease. Negative thoughts and words are bullets that cannot be recalled; they shorten life and generate suffering. Our habits of eating and negative thinking create disturbances. To heal, we must cultivate positive thoughts and solve others' problems, which brings deep rest. The science of yoga awakens dormant power within the chakras. The sound Oṃ is a scientific tool for healing. Chanting begins with 'A' at the navel, moves to the heart, transitions to 'U' at the throat, and culminates in the humming 'M' that vibrates the entire brain. This practice harmonizes the nervous system, relieves headaches, and releases depression. The resonance cleanses the inner channels and restores memory. "Two things do not come back: the bullet and the word." "Negative thinking... that’s it. And you cannot hide that from the two who know constantly."

Suffering arises from unresolved inner conflicts projected outward, damaging body and mind. Unresolved, undigested situations attack the thyroid and liver. Swallowed anger creates stones in the liver. Projecting anger harms both self and others. Emotional conflicts form gallstones. Back pain often comes when words feel like a broken spine. Overexerting to prove oneself damages the knees. Yoga, the science of humans, stands beyond all religions. Protect your dharma and it protects you. Love is God—cause no pain to any living being. Do not eat those who have eyes. The real enemies are inner anger, hatred, jealousy, and ignorance. Spiritual teachers shape true knowledge. Touch holy feet to receive divine energy. Male and female are one soul; duality is illusion. World peace begins in your hands. Walk barefoot on the living earth and practice Kriya Yoga to heal body, mind, and soul, especially through the solar plexus. “World peace is in your hands.” “Do not cause pain to any life on this earth.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The ego stands as the greatest obstacle to liberation. The aim is service and self-knowledge. Swami Sivananda taught to love, serve, and meditate for liberation. Ego must vanish for attainment. A learned professor came to Sivananda. Sivananda bowed to the knowledge within him. The professor sat with pride, massaging his foot. Sivananda asked if he learned all yogas, including the bedpan service. The professor did not know that yoga. Next morning, Sivananda took him to serve the toilet pots. The professor refused, but time will teach. Ego, hatred, jealousy push the seeker down. Rajab wore a wedding crown, and his guru warned it leads to hell. Rajab renounced and stayed with the guru. The guru dressed him in fine clothes to test others’ jealousy. When the guru stopped at a dirty channel, only Rajab lay down as a bridge, disregarding his garments. Others were jealous but feared soiling their robes. Real attainment is inner, through the guru’s hint and mantra, opening the heart-lotus. "I bow down to that knowledge. When that knowledge is in you, you are a very valuable suitcase." "Rājab, tūne gajab kiyā, sir pe bāndhā mor, āyā to Hari bhajan ko, jā rahā narak kī or." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

World peace arises from spiritual knowledge and practice. Knowledge alone is insufficient; it must be applied. The Vedas provide this practical wisdom through three paths: action, devotion, and knowledge. True knowledge reveals the world as one family. Protecting this family requires rising above divisions. Health and inner peace are foundations, cultivated through yoga and meditation. Saints distribute this knowledge. By accepting and living it, individual well-being fosters global peace. Satsang, or holy company, transforms the mind toward truth. Teaching these principles in family and society spreads peace. Ultimately, peace within creates peace in the world. "Sab ke pās knowledge bhī hotā hai, lekin khālī knowledge hī rahe jātā hai. It does not come in practical life." "Yogaścitta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ.

The Śrī Svāmī Mādhavānanda World Peace Council and Yoga in Daily Life work for global peace and sustainable development, guided by the principles of non-violence and service. These organizations support the United Nations' goals through concrete humanitarian projects. They operate schools and a college to provide education, with a focus on gender equality and aiding the underprivileged. A charitable hospital works to improve community health and maternal care. Environmental initiatives include a large-scale tree planting program and a desert rainwater harvesting project to secure water for arid regions. Animal protection is practiced through sanctuaries, rooted in the principle of ahimsa. The underlying philosophy teaches that lasting peace begins within each individual through inner harmony. Yoga is presented as a universal science for uniting body, mind, and consciousness, fostering the awareness needed for external peace. True change arises from personal transformation and selfless action for the welfare of all beings. "Helping hands have more value than folded hands." "One in all and all in one."

Wellness is the harmonious balance of body, mind, and soul. Vāstu Śāstra aligns our environment with cosmic energy for harmony. Our being is composed of five layers, or kośas: the physical body of nourishment, the energy body, the mental body, the intellectual body, and the bliss body. The mind is a reflection of immense speed and power that cannot be controlled or killed; desire persists from cradle to grave. Yoga is the scientific practice to awaken awareness and achieve this balance. It requires daily morning practice in a small space with fresh air. Sound and vibration are foundational; our body is created from cosmic resonance. Specific sounds like "A," "U," and "M" correspond to energy centers, or chakras, and can release tension, heal glands like the thyroid, and purify the nervous system. Chanting "OM" integrates the five bodies and clears stress by directing vibration to the brain. "Your mind cannot be killed because your desire is still there." "Yoga is a science of body, mind, and soul." Filming location: New York, USA

This temple is a sacred cave of diamonds, a center of divine energy for meditation and Vedic culture. Its establishment required great effort over time, facing obstacles as all good works do. This Vedic culture transforms individual impressions into human character, guiding one to a good path. Most people pass by such places unaware, but those who enter receive the diamonds of wisdom and reality. Modern education provides knowledge for worldly life, yet the essential knowledge to become truly human comes from parents imbued with Vedic tradition. This eternal tradition is never destroyed, though many have forgotten it. Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, a union of the individual with the infinite. "This mandir, this temple, Vedic and Vedic culture, we have lost." "Yoga is a science of body, mind, and consciousness. That’s all." Filming location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA

The divine is perceived as both formless and with form. The formless God, Nirākāra, is like the horizon or sky—everywhere yet unreachable. The personal God, Sākāra, has a form we can relate to, speak with, and worship. Scripture states both are valid, but for humanity, worship with form is easier as it allows for relationship and dialogue. Our human nature encompasses both aspects. We are advised to use our divine potential through proper practice, as our latent powers can lead us toward divinity or negativity. How we speak and act directly impacts our spiritual and physical well-being, as our energy flows through subtle centers. We must choose a path that awakens our higher consciousness. "both are good, Nirākāra and Sākāra, the formless and with form. But he said, for you... it is easier to worship in form." "you have a chance of being a human... you are divine, you are godly, but all is dormant." Filming location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA

The spiritual lineage connects devotees to an ancient source of grace. A disciple met the master as a baby and received lifelong blessings, countering predictions of a short life and lack of education or wealth. The lineage extends back seven generations through the family. The source of the teachings is the immortal master Alakpuriji, who dwells in the Himalayas. Such perfected beings exist in subtle, causal bodies beyond the material world, serving as protectors. They can be perceived by pure hearts, as seen in lights over glaciers. The path requires sacrifice of attachment to enter the divine kingdom, as demonstrated by Yudhiṣṭhira's loyalty. The goal is liberation through this spotless, indescribable grace. "Tell me when you’re ready to leave this earth to come, I’ll call you." "Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice." Filming location: Atlanta, Goergia, USA

Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, and soul, originating from the very beginning of endless cosmic cycles. It stems from the interplay between universal consciousness and space. The creator, Śiva, manifested from the primordial sound, or resonance, which holds the universe together. This resonance is in every cell, creating harmony. Yoga is not merely physical exercise but the pursuit of health, balance, and oneness. The human body is a microcosm of five elements and contains energy centers, or chakras, along subtle nerves. Our awareness and practices like prāṇāyāma, postures, and chanting purify these energies, address ailments from stored emotions, and align us with the cosmic dance of creation and dissolution, leading toward liberation. "Yoga is not just that physical exercise. We call it yoga because it must bring good health, balance, harmony, and oneness of body, mind, and soul." "From the end of the spinal column is the seat of Śiva and Gaṇeśa. Gaṇeśa is in the Mūlādhāra Cakra. Mūla means roots." Filming location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Meditation is the path to peace, harmony, and understanding, leading to a clear destination. It creates internal clarity, releases tension, and provides certainty by dispelling uncertainty. This practice awakens dormant powers within the human body. There are active and passive forms of meditation, with yogic techniques designed for the human form. We possess five bodies, from the physical to the subtle, within which the soul dwells. The aim is to be fully present, moving from concentration to a state of oneness. The ultimate goal is the merging of the individual self into the cosmic Self. "Meditation brings harmony in our body and releases tension from life. It gives us certainty." "The aim of our meditation and of yogīs is that the jīvā merges into Śiva. It means from the individual to the cosmic Self."

The divine manifests through specific circumstances and through the eternal senses. We exist in a dark age where spiritual values decline, awaiting a divine manifestation. A king performed severe austerities to gain power. He asked a divine being for immortality but was refused. He then requested a boon that no normal means could kill him, which was granted. Returning to his kingdom, he declared himself the only god. However, devotion to the true divine persisted. The king had a son, Prahlāda, who from childhood chanted the divine name despite his father's orders. The king's sister, Holika, who was immune to fire, tried to burn the boy but was herself consumed while he remained unharmed. The king repeatedly tried to kill his son, but divine protection saved him each time. Finally, the king threatened Prahlāda before a heated iron pillar. As the boy embraced it, a divine form, part-lion and part-man, emerged and killed the king at twilight in a doorway, thus fulfilling the conditions of the boon. "God incarnates, and there are two kinds of God’s presence." "Whom God saves, no one can kill." Filming location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. What is in the universe is in our body. God gave everything to his children. Sarasvati is the goddess of wisdom. Without the five elements, we cannot survive. God cares for our life. God is Nirakar. The rotation of our Chakras is exactly like the rotation of the Sun. Yoga practice is a medicine. Are you aware of your body? We should return to organic food. We are constantly swallowing our problems. You are your own doctor. Now 87% of people have no knowledge of cooking - cooking is a science.

Yoga Nidrā is the yogic practice of psychic sleep. Adjust to lie comfortably, close your eyes, and follow the voice. The practice is conscious awareness, not sleep, though sleep is not resisted. The core is a systematic relaxation and body scan. Begin by mentally repeating a personal resolution three times. Guide awareness slowly through each part of the body from toes to head, feeling relaxation and energy flow. Visualize a cleansing dawn light. Conclude by repeating the same resolution three times, then gently return awareness to the body and physical movement. "Do not sleep. And if sleep comes, let it come." "In that pure light, you repeat again your saṅkalpa, your wish, three times."

The true Guru is the principle of knowledge that dispels ignorance. The name Sanjeevani signifies a prayer for success. We begin by invoking Śrī Gaṇeśa, the remover of obstacles and protector. The Guru is defined by the mantra: Guru is Brahmā the creator, Viṣṇu the protector, and Śiva the liberator. "Gu" means darkness, "ru" means light; the Guru leads from darkness to light. This is not a physical form but the capacity for mastery, like a pilot or surgeon whose knowledge transforms their function. One must pray for the divine to speak through them as an instrument. The Guru creates knowledge within, protects from negativity, and liberates. Follow the Guru's instructions as a student pilot follows a co-pilot. Liberation ends the cycle of birth and death, determined by karma. The soul's destination is shaped by actions. The Guru is the embodiment of knowledge alone, beyond duality, like the sky. All beings seek the same bliss. The true Self within is the Guru; one must awaken to this knowledge. "Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Gurudevo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." "Brahmānandaṁ parama-sukhadam kevalaṁ jñāna-mūrtim, Dvandvātītaṁ gagana-sadṛśyaṁ tattvamasyādi-lakṣyam." Filming location: Alexandria, USA

Yoga in daily life is the ever-shining sun, present everywhere. The program begins with purifying the body's impurities. Habit becomes one's second nature. A story illustrates this: a man jumps into a river to retrieve a coat, which is actually a bear. The bear catches him. The man wishes to leave the coat, but the coat does not leave him. This is the condition of dependency. People find time for negative habits but claim to have no time for meditation or good deeds. The mind is a reflection, like a face in a mirror; one cleans the mirror, but the spot is on the face. The mind must be corrected through techniques, good society, and meditation. The five sheaths of the being are the body of nourishment, energy, mind, intellect, and bliss. Liberation comes from mastering the mind, attachment, hope, and thirst. Give charity without expectation of return. This is the science of yoga for body, mind, and soul. "Habit is the second nature of the human." "Man marā na mamatā marī—your desires, what you want to have." Filming location: Alexandria, USA

The aim of human life is to realize the soul and return to God. The soul undergoes cycles of birth and death, experiencing the astral world and various forms of life, from vegetation to human birth. Human life is a difficult journey where one must navigate consequences, or karma, for all actions. The intellect is a powerful tool, but it must connect the brain to the heart. Causing suffering to any creature creates pain that returns. Life in all realms is challenging, and one must strive for liberation from this cycle. The physical body is the first sheath, the annamaya kośa, sustained by pure nourishment. The second sheath is the prāṇamaya kośa, the energy body vitalized by breath. "Do not go against the nature. Otherwise, you will have consequences." "When we create difficulties for someone, the pain will reflect to us, much more than that one is suffering." Filming location: Alexandria, USA

Human life is a rare opportunity within the cosmic law of life consuming life. The soul journeys through 8.4 million life forms. The universal architect established a system where beings sustain themselves, a necessary process for karma to unfold. This inherent consumption is hiṁsā, or violence, present even in unseen acts. For humans, the principle is ahiṁsā, non-violence. Karma operates distinctly for humanity; animals act from instinct, not moral understanding. The fire of hunger in the solar plexus drives all creatures. Spiritual progress requires compassion: feed the hungry, but do not consume life. Human birth carries the sacred duty to avoid violence, purify consciousness through practice, and realize the soul's divine origin beyond the cycle of consumption. "Jīva Jīva Bhakṣate—life eats life." "Ahiṁsā is for the humans. Hiṁsā is for the animals."

The Viśuddhi Cakra is a center of energy affecting body, mind, and consciousness. Action and reaction form karma, binding beings in a cycle. Energy centers begin from the earth, a living planet. The highest reality is space, consciousness, and resonance—the one manifesting as all creation. Beings are cells of that universal body. Advanced yogis navigate consciousness through a tunnel-like path along the spinal column, where dormant powers reside. These yogis can access different levels of awareness and worlds. Samādhi is the highest consciousness, with and without seed. Practice requires singular focus to avoid becoming lost. Karma is individual; a story illustrates how devotion can purify past actions. Awakening the chakras' power fulfills wishes. "Ekohaṁ bahuśyāmī. I am only one... I am going to manifest into many, many creatures." "Manvā dhire dhire chal, gagana garā imānvā dhire dhire chāl... Oh my mind, go slowly, slowly towards the home in the sky." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

The Viśuddhi Cakra is a pivotal center in spiritual practice. Consistent sādhanā is essential; sporadic effort yields no progress. The chakras map consciousness: from earth at the feet, to vegetation, to animal, to human up to the throat. Above the Viśuddhi lies higher consciousness. Purification through practice is required to cross this border. Without dedicated effort, theoretical knowledge is forgotten and the human opportunity is lost. Buddha exemplified this through intense practice, moving from ignorance to the enlightened knowledge of Bodhi. His path involved rigorous disciplines like Udāśī Mauna, a silent, mindful begging practice. All must strive to merge the individual soul back into the divine ocean from which it came. The kriyā practice taught activates these energies, potentially resolving inner and physical tensions stored in centers like the throat. "Tons of theory is nothing but a gram of practice." "Without sādhanā, we are lost. You will see, after that life, you will say, 'Oh God, I lost my chance.'"

The Viśuddhi cakra is the center of knowledge and purification. Destiny is the past karma every creature carries, but humans possess the freedom to create new karma through action. Every action generates a reaction, shaping future births. Good deeds and spiritual qualities lead to a favorable human rebirth, potentially in a spiritual family. Spirituality transcends gender; the soul is identical in all beings. The mother is revered as the first divine principle, representing space, while the father represents consciousness. Yoga is the science of uniting awareness with consciousness, balancing the elements within. The soul's inherent light can be expanded through consistent practice like meditation. The human body contains a network of 72,000 nāḍīs, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā being primary. Iḍā, the moon channel, governs emotion and water; Piṅgalā, the sun channel, governs consciousness and fire. Their balance is vital. The power of the human brain is immense, evident in modern technology. Negative thoughts attack the thyroid gland at the Viśuddhi; purification comes through prāṇāyāma and balanced thinking. Sarasvatī is the goddess of knowledge and speech residing in the vocal cords. Mastery in any field requires dedicated practice and respect for the source of inspiration. Continuous spiritual practice dissolves negativity, bringing inner light. "Karma cannot forgive anyone, and time doesn't wait for anyone." "Yoga is that science, the principle of uniting, harmonizing, and balancing." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

The Viśuddhi Chakra purifies energy through sound and nerve connections. The body contains 72,000 nerve channels forming a network. The solar plexus, or Maṇipūra Chakra, is a powerful healing center and the seat of life's energy, connected to the sun. This sunlight, symbolized by the svastika, awakens through practices like Agnisar Kriyā. The universal sound OṂ, concentrated at the Viśuddhi, purifies negative energy. Chakras have petals representing Sanskrit alphabets, with resonance in each center. Purification addresses physical, mental, and emotional disease. The sound AUM originates from the sun and moves from the navel through the body. Prāṇāyāma involves inhalation, exhalation, and retention. The three principal nāḍīs are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā, which intersect at chakras. The Vajranāḍī begins at the toes and balances the entire nerve system, aiding digestion and immunity when sitting in Vajrāsana. This posture aligns the spine and relaxes the body, supporting the Viśuddhi Chakra's function. "The Viśuddhi Chakra is a filter, purifying all the negative energy from our body." "That sound comes to our navel, and from our navel, it sends radiance through the whole body." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

Yoga is the science of the body, mind, consciousness, and soul. A chakra is a cycle revolving around a central point, like a drop within a fog, representing the soul. This central point is mirrored at the navel, a mighty circle. Life begins as a tiny drop of consciousness, developing from invisible to visible, holding all ancestral information as positive energy and light. Meditation awakens awareness of one's level of existence. Chakras are imaginative representations, but their reality is described in sacred texts. Two energies exist within a chakra: negative, painful darkness or positive, supreme light called Śabda Brahman. This sound, or nāda, is the essence. All is located along the spinal column, beginning from one bindu, containing the five elements. The human consists of five bodies: nourishment, energy, mind, knowledge, and the body of desire for action. The mind is a reflection of the senses, receiving all knowledge through five perceptual senses and influencing action through five active senses. Consciousness exists in states from unconscious to supreme, dormant within the chakras. One must simply become aware and limit worldly desires. All chakras lead to the fifth, the Viśuddhi cakra at the throat, connected to the thyroid gland. Negativity swallowed in life loads this center. In myth, Śiva drank poison but held it at his throat, purifying it, turning his throat blue. One should not swallow psychic problems. A purification technique exists, but one must first cleanse the three primary energy channels. Psychic problems are a cause of disease; purification addresses this. "Śabda, śabda is brahma, brahma śabda, śabda brahma." "Viśuddhi means to purify." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

The beauty of stress lies in understanding its internal cause and the solution within the Viśuddhi Cakra. Stress originates from within, not from outside. Emotional blockages, particularly lies told to oneself, congest the throat center, attacking the thyroid gland and causing physical and psychic distress. Practice is essential; theory alone is useless. Without foundational practice in the lower chakras, one cannot reach higher states. The solution is to awaken awareness through the specific techniques of Kuṇḍalinī Yoga, which purifies these blockages. This science solves problems, leading to health, happiness, and rising consciousness. One must practice diligently for at least a year to gain real benefit and avoid confusing others. Awareness is the key to releasing fear and stored emotional poison. "Tons of theory is nothing. A gram of practice." "If you lie to someone outside... the stress begins there, but the inner lie is attacking your thyroid gland." Filming locations: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The essence of the Vedas is: give pleasure, pleasure returns; give pain, pain returns. Good deeds and bad deeds never leave. Give comfort to every creature, and comfort returns. Give trouble, and trouble returns. The four—lake, tree, saint, and rain—exist solely for others. A lake gives water even to those who throw stones. A tree provides fruit and shade without retaliation. A saint preaches for all, unaffected by anger. Rain falls everywhere, without discrimination. A humble herb healed a saint when he was ready. Nothing in vegetation lacks purpose. Learned techniques must be fully experienced before teaching. Yoga in Daily Life promotes true well-being. This retreat offered purification through sāttvic food and pure air. Arrival brought stress; departure brings clarity and energy. All helpers served with selfless care. Harmony prevailed among participants. “Sukha dīyāṁ sukha hotā hai. Dukha dīyāṁ dukha hotā hai.” “Sarovara taruvara santa jana, cauthā barasāī meṁ, paramārtha ke kāraṇa, cāroṁ taraph hī haiṁ de.” Filming location: Fiji Islands

The essence of the guru principle is the supreme knowledge that dispels ignorance. Every individual has a different nature, some inclined to service and others to meditation, but all must engage with karma. Disciples, like children, may leave the nest to experience the world, a thorny bush of society, but through experiences they may return. The master's role is to awaken and protect the disciple's divine qualities. The guru embodies the creative, sustaining, and transformative principles—Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva—all of which are transient gleams of the supreme, formless Parabrahma. True focus must be on the guru's instructive words and footsteps, not the physical form. This era requires adhering to that guidance for safe passage; distraction by negative habits or society acts like termites destroying a mighty tree from within. The teachings received are to be preserved personally, not disseminated without depth. "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Gurudevo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Para Brahma." "Mantra mūlam guru vākyam. Mokṣa mūlaṁ gurur kṛpā." Filming location: Fiji Islands

The grace of Mahāśivarātri is profound. We are blessed on this holy night. Lord Śiva declared this night as his worship for all ages. You have preserved Sanātana Dharma across generations; do not abandon this eternal path. It is the main highway, while other paths are like small sticks. Many saints and avatars have upheld this dharma. A temple for Lord Shiva is established here; offer simple water, fruits, or flowers. This place in Fiji is considered very divine, where many find peace and shed their stress through spiritual practice. Lord Śiva is Bholenāth, the innocent and compassionate one. His grace is illustrated through stories. A thief, climbing a Śivaliṅga with muddy feet to steal, was instead blessed for his inadvertent offering. A poor hunter, whose water and Bilva leaves accidentally worshiped a liṅga, was shown mercy. He spared the honest deer that returned to him, and Śiva subsequently appeared, granting the hunter's family prosperity and liberating all. These acts define the great night. "Sanātana Dharma is the highway, the main road. Other paths are like small sticks." "You are such a great bhakta; you offer yourself to me. What can be a greater bhakta than you?"

The Guru is the sole means to transcend heaven's limits and attain endless liberation. Heaven is a temporary realm for those with pure karma, but it ends, forcing return to the mortal world. True freedom is moksha, which is boundless. The Guru embodies the supreme reality; meditation, worship, and obedience to the Guru's word are the foundations of spiritual practice. Even gods sought human rebirth to find a true Master for liberation. The story illustrates this: Shiva agreed to impart the secret of immortality to Parvati through the Guru Gita in a secluded cave. A parrot overheard the teaching, gaining knowledge but requiring a human birth to complete its practice. This shows the Guru's grace is the essential path. "Therefore, a Guru... they are supreme, the Parabrahma." "Therefore, one bhajan said: 'Me hi jānu, aur ko kaib khānu, bachchan pyālā gesha...'"

The union of consciousness and space is the primordial principle. Remember the divine at all times. The sun is a vital divine source. The body's intricate organs, like the lungs spanning a field, sustain life. Earth is a living being teeming with life. The goal is self-realization, to understand one is not the body or mind but the Ātmā. The five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—are living and essential. Space is primary, with consciousness within it. Their union is yoga, the harmony and balance existing before all else. What is called yoga practice is a technique for bodily purification and self-knowledge. All fires, from the digestive to the solar, are to be revered as Agni Dev. The story illustrates that many seek prosperity over the divine. True devotion rises above such attachment. "Yoga is that which unites the consciousness and space." "Without Agni Dev, no world creation is there." Filming location: Fiji Islands

Yoga is the stilling of the mind's modifications. Discipline in all aspects of life is the foundation. The mind's thoughts are like waves in a pond; a single ripple obscures clarity. As long as thoughts are unpeaceful, meditation is not present. To calm the vṛttis, one must practice and seek solitude. A retreat to a peaceful natural place allows the system to recharge and quiet. The practice of Brahmari Pranayama specifically calms the brain and sharpens the senses through sound vibration. This sound connects to the primordial Om, the formless source of all creation. Everything visible and invisible arises from this sound. "Yogaḥ citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ: through the practice of yoga, you can calm down all your thoughts, your vṛttis." "Everything—all that is visible, invisible, hearing, tasting, feeling—all this is only from one source: from the Aum, the sound."

The beauty of nature mirrors the inner light of meditation. Observe creation's splendor—the dawn, sunset, ocean, and wind. This external beauty reflects the Chidākāśa, the inner space of consciousness, which can be illuminated. Practice satsaṅg, being together in truth. Practice the disciplines of yoga: good conduct, thoughts, food, and dwelling in joyful places. All creation is sacred. Recognize the one divine reality behind all forms. Human life is defined by compassion and reverence. Do not cause pain. Respect the earth as mother and all life. Do not waste resources. The sound Oṁ is the primordial vibration of all creation. It is Parabrahma, the supreme formless reality. Chanting Oṁ purifies and removes fear, connecting the individual to the universal resonance. "Sat means the truth, and saṅg means to be together. Be there with that society which speaks about God, about truth." "Oṁkāra is Parabrahma Rūpa. It means the form... Oṁkāra is nābhārūpa, like the sky." Filming location: Fiji Islands

The prāṇa is life, and its management is the art of living. Ten prāṇas function within the body, with Prāṇa and Apāna being most crucial for inhalation and expulsion. Their meeting at the navel can awaken Kuṇḍalinī. Prāṇa is the guard of the soul; if prāṇa is lost but the soul remains, medical science may restore life, but it cannot if the soul departs. Pure prāṇa ensures health, our primary wealth. Health exists across five bodily layers, starting with nourishment from food. Fresh food retains prāṇa; overcooking destroys it. Cook vegetables with spices and water in a covered pot with minimal oil or ghee. Āyurveda favors ghee over oil for internal use. Chemical medicines can save lives but cause side effects, as they are foreign to the body's nature. Our long intestines are designed to process food, but poor diet harms them. Prāṇa leads to higher consciousness. Practice Prāṇāyāma and eat consciously. Avoid junk food, which becomes foul when chewed, and avoid alcohol, a destructive drug despite its medicinal origins. Choose a balanced, yogic life for longevity and happiness. "Prāṇa is life, and life is prāṇa. We can compare our prāṇa to our soul." "The first happiness or first wealth is good health."

Oṁ is the primordial sound and essence of Sanātana Dharma. It is the supreme resonance from which all creation emerges. The three components of A-U-M contain the entire universe and its trinity. Chanting Oṁ purifies all karma and desires, leading to liberation. It is the essential soul of every mantra. This sound manifests as a divine light that dispels the darkness of ignorance within the heart. The path of Sanātana Dharma is the eternal highway to the supreme, unlike transient traditions. Our individual consciousness is a drop separated from the ocean of cosmic consciousness. The spiritual journey is a return to that origin. One must purify the mind and intellect through daily practice and righteous living. Treat all life with gratitude, especially those who provide sustenance. "Without Oṁ, a mantra is like a body without a soul." "Sanātana Dharma is that highway... others are just the pedestrian’s way." Filming location: Fiji Islands
