Practicing simple Asanas

Sarvahitāsana is a foundational posture for universal benefit, focusing on precise alignment and mindful awareness. Sit straight with hands placed behind you, fingers pointing back, to avoid rounding the shoulders. Keep the body at a 90-degree angle, ensuring the weight is not on the hands to prevent tingling and strain. Observe how each movement impacts the mind and self-awareness. Stretch upward and move the ear toward the shoulder while keeping the upper body still, initiating movement only from the neck. Move the head back, stretching the thoracic area between the shoulder blades, then relax the chin to the chest. Rotate the head carefully, avoiding isolated vertebral movements to prevent dizziness. Practice side bends from the chest, keeping elbows back to stretch the side muscles. Exercise the feet by squeezing and separating the toes to improve circulation and flexibility, countering the effects of wearing shoes. Conclude by observing the body's sensations and circulation. "The heaviness of your body should not be on your hands." "Every movement has a great impact on our conscience, on our mind." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Incarnation for Dharma

Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.

When I was a child

The path requires personal action and grace, not mere waiting. We strive to connect and become better, yet many wait for life to happen. True progress comes from engaging actively. A personal history illustrates this: a father's astrological prediction, a mother's concern, and encounters with spiritual guides led to a decisive journey. Running from school and meeting a teacher clarified the path. An invitation to teach yoga abroad began with a refusal to eat meat, establishing principles that attracted many. This work expanded across countries, forming communities and ashrams through consistent action and adherence to truth. The key is to take life into your own hands; sitting in a waiting room yields nothing. Engage in karma yoga, participate, and give of yourself. Through active doing, destiny unfolds. "My father said, 'This child has a high IQ.'" "If you want to learn math, you can't sit and talk, 'Math, please come to me.' You must take life in your own hands."

Bhajan singing from Strilky

Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic.

A Gentle Yoga Practice

A guided yoga practice focusing on breath, alignment, and awareness. Begin by relaxing completely on the floor, connecting breath to movement. Practice Pavanamuktāsana on your back for digestion, then in a standing position for balance and focus. Maintain spinal alignment and initiate movements from the hip joints. Be aware of your pelvis and avoid locking the knees. Standing poses like Ekapāda Uttānāsana strengthen the legs and improve concentration. Practice with a firm surface for better balance. Āsanas like Bhujaṅgāsana require elbows close to the body to protect the shoulders. Deep, abdominal breathing cleans the inner channels, allowing prāṇa to flow. The practice generates warmth, deepens circulation, and integrates body and mind through conscious movement and breath control. "Pavanamuktāsana is excellent for digestion." "When we start to breathe a little deeper, we immediately have more energy and less tension." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A human should not kill

The heart of yoga is its universal application in daily life. This practice originated from a profound spiritual source and has spread globally. It is not confined to any single place or people. The essence is found within the human heart. The practice transcends all boundaries of nationality or religion. Its purpose is to elevate human consciousness. A true human, understanding this, abstains from harm and lives a pure life. The culmination of this path is spiritual ascent. "yoga in daily life. That was everything, spreading throughout Europe, everywhere." "Bhajan is very good. Mahāprabhujī said, 'Best is the bhajans.'"

Gentle Supine Movements for Relaxation

Gentle supine movements release tension and aid digestion. Lie down and relax your legs and arms. Bring your legs together. Bend one knee to your chest and hold it while stretching the other leg. Bring that knee across your body with the opposite hand, extending the other arm to the side. Repeat on the other side, turning your head opposite the knee. Roll gently from side to side. Allow your thighs to separate slightly to accommodate the belly. Move slowly and with awareness. "Stretch your left leg away from the midline, as you like, because you were eating too much." "Let your thighs depart from each other a little bit because of the eating, because of the eating and belly."

Practicing from Strilky

The practice is guided relaxation and synchronized movement. Lie down and make yourself very comfortable. Keep legs together, arms beside your body, palms facing upward. Remove pillows and glasses; lengthen the neck, draw the chin slightly toward the collarbone. Stabilize the lower back, pressing it gently toward the mat. Take a deep, long breath between throat and belly, then exhale completely. Only move when instructed; do not go on your own. With inhalation, slowly raise both arms overhead, keeping them at shoulder width. Hands remain relaxed, not interlocking thumbs or fingers. Head stays still, eyes not looking at neighbors. With exhalation, lower the arms back beside the body. Repeat this movement continuously with normal breath, no holding. Then, place arms beside the body, palms facing down. Inhale deeply, lift both legs up, knees straight, heels pointing upward. Place hands under the hips for support, lower legs slowly without noise. Relax completely, turning onto the stomach if comfortable. Finally, sit for meditation, placing palms up or down as preferred. “Only mantra, bhajan, and sitting—only these three points.” “Do not shorten your breath; make it comfortable, long, and relaxed.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The love between Guru and disciple

Sādhanā brings our inner impurities to the surface for cleansing. This process reveals our faults like jealousy and anger, but practitioners possess the awareness and discernment to address them. Ego can be used positively as necessary willpower. We are not sinners but the divine ātmā. The Guru appears in a human form but holds an inner, priceless difference: a boundless, transformative love for the disciple that is unparalleled. This love is a guiding light, teaching us to fully dedicate our own life and being. "Use your viveka, your jñāna." "The Guru has more love than God." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Practicing led by Vishwaguruji

A relaxing movement practice for the body. Lie down with legs straight and together, hands straight back. Remain relaxed and do not adjust clothing. Bring both legs straight up, then down, keeping the body still. Place palms under shoulders, bend elbows, and raise the trunk before lowering again. Raise both arms and legs together while inhaling deeply. Interlock the thumbs and hold the feet behind the back, then rock forward and back. Practice stillness and maintain straight legs. Conclude by sitting up normally and relaxing. "Relax. Be very relaxed." "Inhale very deeply and stay as long as you can." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Bhajan evening in the Strilky Ashram

The bhajan of the caged bird reflects the soul's entrapment in karmas and qualities. A bird confined in a cave endures great suffering, crying out with pain no one comprehends. This symbolizes the soul still bound. Pain is part of life, yet one day abiding in Sat Chit Ananda is certain. The bird, placed in a cage, lives a life no longer its own. Observers see beauty, but the existence is harsh. Never confine a creature; compassion means letting it remain free. The bhajan conveys unbearable suffering. How to open the cage? Humans are similarly caged, dispersed everywhere yet believing themselves at ease. Preoccupation with money and possessions conceals the inner cage. The bird, if free, would stand in a tree, questioning its placement by God. Another bhajan speaks of a girl locked in a cage for countless lifetimes, seeking her beloved husband. Without shame, she lived as a child unable to walk, unable to find the beloved. Eventually, she found the divine beloved and dissolved into the immortal, unborn one. Through bhajan, liberation is attained. "The bird is held within, and its life is no longer its own." "We too are inside a cage. What is that cage?" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Practice with Vishwaguruji

A relaxing practice in Ānanda Āsana involves simple lying and seated postures. The core instruction is to relax the entire body completely, from the head to the legs. Physical movements are coordinated with breath, focusing on slow inhalation and exhalation. The practice emphasizes letting go and allowing the body to settle without force. Guidance is given for positioning the hands and legs to deepen relaxation. The ultimate goal is to achieve a state of full bodily and mental release. Consistency in gentle effort leads to profound ease. "Relax. Throughout the whole, it is very relaxed." "Inhale with the mouth, and exhale with the mouth... Relax through the mouth, whole body."

Bhajans evening from the Strilky Ashram

A fine shawl, a sacred motherland, a coach of the body, and a two-day meeting. A bhajan says the body is a fine shawl dyed with God's name, woven on eight lotus chakras; saints keep it spotless. Mother India is like sandalwood, a land of penance and sacred duty. Dawn blows the conch, dusk sings a lullaby, and fortune is shaped by actions. Poets sing sacrifices, wisdom is pure as Ganga, soldiers chant Gita, goal is God-realization. The body is a coach pulled by ten horses, the ten shaktis, controlled by mind and intellect. Knowledge is light; the Atma sits inside with discernment. Five thieves—desire, anger, pride, greed, ego—seized the coach, made horses lose way. Gurudeva's arrow-word made them flee. In the coach are solar systems, five karmendriyas, five jnanendriyas, brahmanas. Through holy worship, joy is enjoyed in this body. Life is a two-day meeting: yesterday, today; tomorrow unknown. It is a play of coming and going; alone we came, are alone, go alone. Only karma, mantra, Gurudeva's light guide. Life flows like unholdable water; at end, no one helps. Meditate on God; dharma, dhairya, mitra, artha must be proved at right time. “The soul of this country, Bhārata, is like chandan, like sandalwood.” “The only thing that will go with us is our karma, our deeds. The power of the mantra and the light of Gurudeva—this will guide us.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Blessed moments with Holy Guruji

The guru's presence is a transformative teaching beyond words. I met Gurujī but did not know Hindi, creating a perceived barrier. Yet, his storytelling was a profound lesson; he fully embodied each character, making them instantly known. That moment taught me the power of non-verbal communication—how body, voice, and movement express inner states and can change our inner world. Every action was a teaching; singing a bhajan, he transformed the atmosphere with immense energy. Being with him was full of that strong energy and love; language was unnecessary. Great souls possess tremendous humor and love that transforms. To be near such energy requires strong nerves and preparation through sādhanā, or one may fall asleep from the intensity. Though Gurujī is no longer physically here, he is present in every satsaṅg and bhajan. Through the bhajans, which are rare and preserved from the paramparā, the guru is with us. We owe the opportunity to know this lineage and these bhajans to Viśva Gurujī. "Gurujī became every actor, every person in that story." "Language was never a problem; there was no need to talk."

Bhajans on the Satsang

A devotee expresses a profound longing for spiritual liberation and the Guru's grace. The plea is to become the dust at the Guru's feet, seeking awakening through a sacred mantra. The request is for all karmic bonds to be severed. The heart yearns for the Guru's holy company, a longing so deep it brings tears. The devotion culminates in repeated, fervent invocations and praises to the divine Guru and the lineage. "O Gurudev, please let me be the dust of your feet." "Please remove all the chains of my karmas."

Happiness in the family

The surgery of the heart mirrors the spiritual path: the ego must die for true devotion to arise. The ego broadcasts greatness, but a scar cuts through that illusion. Hanumān tore his chest to reveal Rāma and Sītā, silencing all doubt about bhakti. Heart surgery kills and revives the body; Scripture says one must die to be born again. That death means killing the ego, not the body. Bridging ordinary life and Guru consciousness remains difficult. Family remains pure when centered on dharma. A child’s arrival can increase love, yet worldly distractions pull attention away. Money and materialism breed negativity. Holy books hold pure wisdom, yet many leave them unread. In the Rāmāyaṇa, Rāma humbled himself before Paraśurāma, choosing wisdom over conflict, and received blessing. Daily, one must examine thoughts, sit in stillness, practice purity. Children learn by example; without guidance they drift. Prayer and simplicity anchor the mind. The inner state determines outer harmony. "As you know, He, with His strong hands, opened His chest, and in His heart everybody could see a small Rāma and a small Sītā." "in the Bible, it is written in very small, invisible letters that this means killing our ego." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Remain pure

Spiritual purity is essential in family life. Trees give pure air, revealing God’s creation. Killing and eating animals brings impurity and trouble. Indians abroad brought culture, but meat-eating now corrupts it. You must be strong and raise children with care. Children not raised well will not stand firm when problems grow. Fighting will come, yet endurance leads to purity and God. Others will fall. Concern yourself, your children, your friends. Look at the sky—pure beauty; even clouds depend on perception. Keep the mind detached from the body. A drop of water on the palm spreads through the body with mantra. Be pure and vibrant with everyone. Earth and grass endure without complaint; learn from them. In family, husband gives all earnings to wife; she manages home and uplifts him. If spiritual calling arises, husband and wife should go together. “But if you have not done so, and if the problem grows a little bigger, then your children will not stand firm.” “There will be fighting. But after all of this, we will become very pure, and we will go to God, while others will go down.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Give up eating meat completely!

The only shortcut on the spiritual path is the guru’s grace, but it requires sustained discipline and compassionate living. Intensive practice trains the mind to stay on its object, like a well-trained dog that remains when told. After years, sitting becomes easy and joyful. The atmosphere in such practice is palpable, like a church amplified a thousandfold. Daily practice must be established at home. Vegetarianism is essential; eating meat burdens body and mind. Animals share consciousness with humans, as shown by parrots solving color tests and sheep remembering mazes. Becoming vegetarian changes one’s perspective and is necessary for growth. Spiritual seeking without true guidance is perilous; advanced techniques misapplied can awaken dangerous energies. The guru personally supervises advanced practices, ensuring safety. Shortcuts are illusions; an attempt to use them can halt all progress. The guru’s mercy is the only reliable shortcut. The bhajan reveals Mahāprabhujī’s light vibrating throughout the universe, a rain of blessings that liberates. Recitation of mantra removes difficulties. The glory of Mahāprabhujī cannot be fully expressed. "There are no spiritual shortcuts. The only shortcut is the mercy of the Gurū Deva." "Consciousness is not a function of the body, and it also implies that animals possess that same consciousness." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Do not eat eggs!

The path requires purity in diet and action, avoiding all animal products for health and spiritual integrity. Those who abstain from meat, eggs, and alcohol remain healthy and strong. Eating eggs causes illness and leads to hospital visits. The idea to eat mussels comes from a negative source. Do not pursue such things for money. Practice yoga in daily life; this teaching is universal for all. Family unity is essential, with both parents present for the child. When feeling heavy, stand up, go out, use cold water, and repeat. This practice brings clarity. "Eggs, they sing, but I can tell you, it will cause many problems, and you die." "Life without Vishwagurujī is like a day without sun, like a night without moon, and like a temple without a candle." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Gurupurnima satsang from Strilky Ashram

Disciples share memories of encountering the spiritual master and the transformative power of the practice. Each journey is unique, yet all converge at the master's feet, finding life's purpose and profound personal change. Many came seeking answers to life's meaning, liberation from suffering, or spiritual leadership they felt missing. Encounters with the master were often immediate and decisive, marked by a powerful recognition or a deep inner shift. For some, this meeting resolved long-standing physical pain or existential discontent. The initiation into mantra repetition became a cornerstone of daily life, providing a constant connection. The practice offered a complete framework for living, replacing confusion with sense. Disciples emphasize they did not choose the master, but were found by him. The community is likened to a garden of diverse flowers, each individual nurtured differently according to their own nature. The enduring relationship is described as a protective guidance, with the master's love and patience enabling personal growth and resilience through all of life's phases. "It was not that we were looking for a guru, but that the guru would find us by himself." "The guru is not limited, unless he is limited by his disciple." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We can bring Yoga back to India

A teacher addresses long-time disciples about spiritual continuity and practice. Generations of families have followed this path. The work is to share spiritual gifts with all, including those who have passed on or cannot be present. The core instruction is to practice yoga in daily life. To be a great yogī, one must not consume meat, eggs, or alcohol. There is a mission to bring pure yoga back to its source, re-establishing divine principles. Concerning family life, having a child is a profound, lifelong responsibility that creates a golden being to care for aging parents; without this conscious intent, it is better not to marry. The ideal is harmonious, faithful marriages where children continue the spiritual journey, creating a blessed multi-generational lineage of disciples. "Everywhere where you are, practice yoga in daily life." "Only that one who doesn't eat meat, eggs, and alcohol—then you are really a great yogī." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Live pure life and be happy

Unity is found through purity and practical spirituality. We are all brothers and sisters, and also gurus and masters. Many swamis are here, but all are swamis. Mātājī has great power, doing spiritual work across countries. Purity means no meat, no alcohol. Some have been eating meat; from today, stop. Strength is given through prayer to never take meat again. In India, meat-eating had increased but is being reduced. More children are encouraged, but good ones. Marriages must be arranged with careful judgment, using special books, not just for temporary attraction. A happily married pair here shows how lasting union can be achieved. Yoga practice requires internal purity. A young Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar, always pure and doing good, shows that inner quality matters more than outer form. Bhajan is a highly beneficial practice, uniting all in shared singing. When bhajan is sung, divine energy flows to guru, parents, and children. Those from far away cherish direct presence, which no screen can replace. “We are all brothers and sisters, and we are also gurus and masters.” “It doesn’t matter if you are a swami or not; you can wear normal clothes, but be like a Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sing Bhajans on the Satsang

True singing is the essence of spiritual practice. Singing is the bhajan sung by the sādhus. To lecture is to receive lectures. The practice is simply to sing. Who is the singer? The singer is the lion. No one stands before the lion. Therefore, ordinary singing of bhajans is false. The true singer is the lion and the lord of lions. All bhajans performed are the best. One sleeps having sung bhajans. Many people come for the program. Everyone likes to eat well, but one must be careful. "Singing bhajans is false. When one sings. He is a Siṅgha, and He is a Siṅghār." "All the bhajans I have done, the entire field, the whole Deva, everywhere it is the best for us."

The sleep makes you healthy

Sleep reveals the distinction between the body and the true Self. In sleep, the entire body is present in the heart, offered to God. Proper sleep is essential for peace and progress, not found through medicine but through self-understanding. The sleeping body remains, but awareness travels, demonstrating consciousness is not confined to form. This experience shows the Self is separate from its temporary states. From the heart, consciousness moves through the navel, projecting everywhere while the body rests. This process mirrors death but is not death, as the navel anchor remains. Deep sleep brings relaxation and restoration, with the body functioning autonomously. The two aspects are dreaming travel and physical rest. Yoga nidrā touches this state of conscious sleep. "we are sleeping, but that is not us." "Love is the right yourself, yourself in your Self, which is happiness, the source of all greatness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

We must become one

We explore the nature of sleep, dreams, and the sense of self. In sleep, we seem to be nothing, yet impulses like hunger or the need to urinate arise. We also speak and think while sleeping. In dreams, the "I" travels to distant places and experiences events, like dying, only to awaken and find it was not real. There is a separation: the body sleeps here, but the self is elsewhere. A story is told of one who went into the forest, fasted, and saw a dog with bread. He reached for it, but found nothing. He then had a realization, opened his eyes, and saw all was well. The instruction is to make yourself. When with others and speaking, if it is not good, go and sleep elsewhere. The core problem is we cannot remove this sense of self. We must become one. Do bhajan and use the mālā. That practice continues within your body, and we all come into one. "Night and day, what do we want? Only at night, in sleeping, this and that." "Make thyself, make yourself." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Satsang helps everyone

Satsaṅga reveals the universal path of truth and unity. Satsaṅga means good company. It is the company of sattva, the very essence of everything. Sattva is truth itself. Sat is truth, and truth alone is truth. This truth pervades the entire world. The divine presence moves everywhere, in all places. Truth is not only for humans but for all beings. Like a mother follows her child, the divine cares for all. All are to come together and stay as one. There are many countries and many languages, yet beyond this diversity there is unity. All names and forms are secondary; the divine alone is the doer. The village Rupāvas symbolizes the spiritual home for all humanity. Humans are humans, beyond caste or creed. The name of the divine is love, Prem. This love pervades all hearts. The great light does everything; not the individual self, but the divine light alone acts. "Sattya hī sattya hai" "Now we will not say which caste it belongs to. Our caste is of one India." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Interconnection of Yoga and Āyurveda: A Discourse on Mind, Body, and Soul

Yoga and Āyurveda are interconnected sciences for controlling the mind to achieve health and liberation. Yoga is the instrument to control the fluctuations of the mind. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life, comprising body, senses, mind, and soul. Maharṣi Caraka's philosophy states disease cannot occur without a distortion in the mind; therefore, controlling the mind is essential for health. The process for this is yoga. The soul is the conscious sovereign, while the mind is the active doer. To stop the mind, the soul must command it through techniques culminating in samādhi. The eightfold path of yoga begins with Yama and Niyama. One must control the guṇas, cultivating sāttvic feelings. Stabilizing the mind in the soul yields attainments and is the aim. From the Āyurvedic view, yoga requires a body. Even with a controlled mind, one experiences results of past actions, as unexperienced karma is not destroyed. Yoga's techniques to control mind and body are found within Āyurveda. By controlling duality through yoga and achieving samādhi, the cycle of birth and death ceases. "Yoga is an instrument to control your cittavṛtti—the fluctuations of the mind." "Ātmā sthe manasi sthire: when the mind is stable and controlled in the Ātmā. This is Yoga."

Invocations and a Devotional Bhajan by Śrī Maṅgīlāl

Devotion and loyalty to the Guru remove all worries. Loyalty and devotion to the Guru cause all worries to vanish. The Guru’s mercy lifts one from sorrow and negative moods.

Surrender to the Satguru: Songs and Prayers for Crossing Saṃsāra

The Satguru is the only means to cross the ocean of worldliness. The Guru destroys the bondage of death and shows compassion to the fear-stricken mind taking refuge. Like the sun, the Guru dispels darkness from the heart’s cavity. The Guru embodies Viṣṇu, Brahmā, and Śiva, proclaimed by the Vedas as supreme Brahman beyond undifferentiated nature. The Guru wields the discipline stick and awakens Kuṇḍalinī from sleep. The Guru cuts the knots of the heart and destroys inner enemies like desire, anger, lust, and greed. The Guru’s name destroys the three sorrows—ādhibhautika, ādhidaivika, and ādhyātmika. Repeating God’s name brings endless bliss; otherwise one remains trapped in the prison of saṃsāra. Life flows away moment by moment, and possessions cannot accompany anyone at death. Neither mother, father, brother, nor friend can go with the dying. Seek shelter with the Gurudev to learn the secret mantra that allows crossing the ocean of ignorance. The inner world has no birth, death, or karma, only eternal bliss as Jīvan Mukta. There is no moon, sun, or stars, yet endless formless light pervades. This realm is unattainable by king or beggar alike; saints dwell there in the nectar of Guru’s wisdom. Surrender all life’s responsibilities to the Lord; both success and defeat rest in divine hands. The only task is to reach the Lord, offering all worldly love to remain pure like a lotus untouched by water. At the time of death, leave yourself fully in the Lord’s hands. "You are the sun who dispels the darkness of the cavity of the heart." "I have one task, and that is to reach you, my Lord. And for that, I offer all my love for this world into your hands."

Salutations to the Divine

For world peace, first we need to find peace within ourselves. A recording of a live concert for world peace in YIDL center in Villach, Austria. Public concert lasted 6h with uninterrupted Bhajans. The concert was a part of a 24h of Bhajan Anushtana.

Gurudev bring us to your shelter

The mantra is a prayer glorifying the master and requesting his shelter. Oṁ is the universal beginning and end. "Namaḥ" offers salutations. "Śrī" conveys respect. "Prabhu" means God. "Dīpa" is the light. "Nārāyaṇa" is God's name, indicating the master is that divinity. The request follows: "We are all servants. O God, we are surrendered to your shelter." It seeks permanent protection and the highest happiness of self-realization, beyond temporary pleasures. The master is the pure giver of great joy and destroyer of all sorrow, protecting those who follow the teachings in daily life. "Oṁ is the beginning, the middle, and the end of the universe."

Bhajan evening from Vienna 1

The world of the Guru is a realm beyond birth, death, and karma. It is a state of infinite light without sun, moon, color, or form, where even a king cannot enter. Yet saints and endless knowledge reside there. The Satguru incarnates to end suffering, and his grace is essential for liberation. His power surpasses all, and his glory is without limit. To enter this world is to attain eternal joy and freedom. "Without the grace of the Satguru, no one can attain liberation." "Śrī Guru is higher than Īśvara, the God of the entire universe."

Bhajan evening from Vienna 2

The bhajans convey the essence of remembering the divine name and surrendering to the guru. Always remember the most famous master, pray to that master. The master is the supreme lord of hosts, the giver of bliss. The formless Nārāyaṇa is everywhere. The Satguru is always present wherever one looks. Surrender to the guru removes all sorrows and troubles. No worldly relationship offers true refuge. Only the guru protects from the net of māyā. The ocean of saṃsāra is stormy. The guru’s mercy prevents the boat from breaking. One request: destroy dualities so that either japa or dhyāna becomes one-pointed. The Satguru ever protects; be fearless. Those surrendered to the guru live in highest happiness. Constant repetition of the mantra crosses the ocean of the world. That repetition leads to liberation and immortality. The world is a fleeting play of coming and going, lasting only two days. Possessions and family cannot help at death. Therefore worship the immortal God. Place the whole responsibility into the guru’s hands. Live like a lotus in the river, selfless, and at death let life be taken into divine hands. “O Gurudev, take me under your shoulder and remove all my sorrows.” “This world is a play of coming and going. We are in this world just for two days.” Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The respect of the frogs

A spiritual gathering focuses on establishing a center for yoga and compassionate living. The environment is beautiful and peaceful, yet work is challenging for the few caretakers present. A collective effort is needed, gathering people who practice non-violence and abstain from meat. This group will form an ashram dedicated to yoga in daily life, promoting these principles to others. Such a center will flourish, supported by a community committed to this path. The vision is for a place where all can practice and help one another, ensuring its success and longevity. "In the whole of life, we are only, but our little children, they will be coming to, yeah. And so it’s begun." "Gurudev has come like a cloud, and the nectar was falling, Amṛta. And my mind was drinking this nectar so much that it became completely full and without any fear." Filming locations: Oost Eind, Netherlands.

Bhajans from Oosterhout

The only longing is the dust of the holy feet of the Satya Guru. All desires for heavenly pleasures, riches, and even liberation are rejected. Liberation itself is but a servant at those lotus feet. Meeting the real Satya Guru annihilates all mental confusions. False knowledge from countless guides is removed. The Guru reveals the real truth. The true inner nature is discovered within. In the heart, God is met. The flame of the individual soul merges into the cosmic flame. Like fragrance permeating a blossom, the eternal truth fills every heart. All doubts dissolve, and all karmas are destroyed. Inside everything abides one eternal truth; external appearances are merely its forms. The prayer arises: “Satya Guru, show the real, indescribable Purusha.” The Guru’s word is not mere words; it encompasses all. The realized one, intoxicated by the sadguru’s name, is deep as the sky, sweet as nectar, cool as the ocean. Such a one has no desires in the three worlds. Such a one sees diamond and stone as equal, has no fear, and remains unmovable in life and death. "He does not look at castes, and he does not look at status. For him, diamond and stones are the same." "This divine traveler is a hero among the greatest heroes." Filming location: Oosterhout, Netherlands

Eat pure meals and practice every day

The glory of the Guru and the practice of Yoga in Daily Life are the path to true humanity. The Guru is Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva—creator, protector, destroyer—removing false knowledge, planting truth, and nourishing discipline. The Guru bestows the mantra that liberates from countless births and washes away past karmas. Darśana of the Guru exceeds all holy places, bringing peace and breaking worldly bonds. Daily yoga, not occasional practice, sinks into the subconscious and transforms old habits. Upon waking, open your eyes and declare, “I am human,” and realize that inner balance. Step on Mother Earth with reverence, honoring women and the elderly as divine. A single drop of water holds the ocean’s purity—one in all, all in one. The soul travels to God or lower forms; killing and eating animals breeds suffering and poor health. Pure food, fruits and vegetables, keeps the body and mind strong. Practice sitting straight to channel energy from base to crown, gaining strength and long life. Even when you regress, spiritual progress resumes from where it left off in the next life. In old age, the person draws nearer to God; treat elders with deep respect. In marriage, live as father and mother, honoring the sacred bond. Do not kill animals or cause harm; be truly human, not like beasts. Let daily discipline, compassion, and remembrance of the divine guide every step. “Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvaraḥ. The Guru is the creator, the Guru is the protector, and the Guru is the destroyer.” “Open your eyes in the morning and say, ‘I am human.’” Filming location: Oosterhout, Netherlands

How is an aeroplane landed?

The search for divine love leads one through suffering to the master. A life of seeking felt like hell until a desperate prayer opened all doors. Reading a sacred book created an intense craving for liberation and a true guru. The path was found locally through a phone call, leading to a first meeting filled with human awkwardness and fear. The definitive encounter occurred not in grand devotion but in a humble, shocked moment. The true transmission happened when the master placed the seeker's hand on his heart, fulfilling the lifelong search within. "Dear friends, my life before Swāmījī was pure hell." "What he did, he took my hand and put it on his heart. He took me in his heart."

We learned that we are human

The human calling is to live as true humans, distinct from animals. The human comes from God. Jīva Jīva Bhakṣate—life eats life. Shiva saw all creatures eating each other. Shiva brought the human to stop this. A human who eats meat and kills acts like an animal. That is not human. Humans should not eat animals. Eating only fruits and pure things is human. Alcohol is only for medicine. Drinking alcohol otherwise leads to loss. Not eating meat purifies the body. This brings happiness and heaven. Those who eat meat go down. Satsang means truth. Spread this teaching to all. People from many countries are learning. "Jīva Jīva Bhakṣate." "We are human, and if we are human, why do we go killing? Then it’s not a human."

Medical physical and spiritual aspects of YIDL

Yoga in Daily Life integrates medical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions for holistic health. The system is a complete practice beyond physical exercise. Medical yoga prevents disease by caring for the body's fundamental needs: sleep, water, food, and exercise. Cells possess memory, including for pain. Yoga addresses chronic pain by influencing brain regions like the insula, which governs homeostasis and perception. The amygdala, central to emotion, is calmed by prāṇāyāma, activating the parasympathetic nervous system. Physical exercise, including yoga, promotes neurogenesis in the hippocampus, regenerating brain cells. The practice aims to decrease suffering and cultivate inner peace. Psychologically, consciousness and self-image are shaped by inner and outer information integrated by the brain. Traumatic experiences disrupt this process, storing stress in the body's tissues, like the fascia. Yoga in Daily Life offers specific practices to release this stored tension, combat anxiety and depression, and restore balance. Techniques like Yoga Nidrā and breath retention (kumbhaka) purify the energy system, fostering mental stability and self-awareness. The system avoids Western reduction to mere gymnastics, preserving its spiritual core. Spiritually, yoga is a science of self-realization, a practical path to know oneself. The essence of life, the divine prāṇa, exists within all beings, advocating for non-violence and a compassionate, vegetarian lifestyle. True practice integrates every action into daily life, leading toward the ultimate aim under a guru's guidance. "By practicing yoga, we can decrease and even be rid of the ache and live more peacefully regardless of our pain." "One gram of practice is more than tons of theory."

About the thousand names of Vishnu

The Viṣṇu Sahasranāmam is a sacred recitation of divine names. It originates from the Mahābhārata, where Yudhiṣṭhira, grieving after the war, asks Bhīṣma for the supreme refuge. Bhīṣma's response forms this text, a core of Hindu devotion. It is widely recited, especially in South India, often in a musical style popularized by M.S. Subbulakshmi. The practice involves daily prayer, typically in the evening. The essence of the thousand names is ultimately concentrated in the name of Rāma. Reciting this single name holds the power of the entire text. The concluding tradition includes verses dedicated to Lakṣmī. "By glorifying whom does one attain physical, mental, and spiritual peace and purity?" "All you have to say is: 'Śrī Rām Rām Rāmeti Rame Rame Manorame, Sahasranāma-tattulyaṁ Rāma-nāma varānane.'"

Satsang from Jadan

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

The Inner Lamp and the Nature of Being

The inner lamp of awareness is the same as the sun within all beings. Before dawn, one performs rituals like lighting a lamp, then rests. At dusk, the lamp is lit again, mirroring the inner light. This light is present within the home, body, and mind. All creatures, from birds to animals, follow their nature without this knowledge. A story is told of disciples who, after seeing violence towards a cow and calf, vowed to never take flesh, milk, or curd from any animal again, recognizing the motherly sacrifice. To harm or take what belongs to another being, like a honeybee taking from a flower, accumulates sin. Humans have a connection to the divine, instructed to live peacefully and care for others, but many have turned to eating meat. The essence of India is described as a source from which many things flow. Ultimately, all is one. The true mother is the earth itself. One must recognize one's own humanity, for only then is the divine presence always there. "Inside, there is a lamp, but that sun is the same—within your home, within your body, within your mind, in everything." "If someone is a Muslim, then they are not truly so; they have taken it from our India and gone elsewhere, so they are not genuine." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Human is for God

Yoga in daily life is the essential practice. It must be integrated fully and forever, not kept as a separate exercise. Many learn the physical practice but then reject its foundational principles, like abstaining from meat. This creates a division. True yoga means unity in action and principle, not compromising for convenience or money. Observing a pure lifestyle, free from harming any being, is what elevates a human towards the divine. This is the human purpose. Some teachers and students, even in India, practice but then eat meat at home, which is inconsistent. The discipline must be exact and unwavering. It is not about religious labels but about being a true human. Those who indulge in meat and harmful actions are moving away from this goal. My disciples worldwide who live this integrity are holy. This unity is what we must uphold. "Meat and other things must be given up." "Only these two or three things, if we can keep them out, then we are in heaven."

Guru gives us the ultimate liberation

The grace of the Guru is supreme, and the āśrama serves the entire world. Through yoga, one can attain the ultimate reality, bringing the world within. There is no element greater than devotion to the Guru, in whom resides the highest truth. The Bhagavad Gītā teaches that the divine is seated in the heart of all, the source of knowledge and the remover of doubt. Skillfulness in action leads to perfection. This teaching is beyond religions; it is a way of living. "There is nothing greater than guru-bhakti. There is no element in the world greater than this." "I am seated in the heart of all; from Me come memory, knowledge, and the removal of doubts."

Life will be easier if we don't eat meat

The core problem is violence and consumption causing suffering. My disciples asked for help for a sick relative who eats meat. This is the global issue: people consume meat and alcohol, creating suffering and karmic knots. Life, in any form, is sacred. Animals endure great cruelty. Practices like Kṛṣṇa consciousness show a better way through vegetarianism and prayer. Yet people revert to old habits. Humans, endowed with intellect and comfort, exploit and kill other beings who also possess senses and life. We build and accumulate but often lack true compassion, as seen in the lonely elderly who are abandoned. Our actions have consequences. We must help, but the fundamental solution is to stop the killing and consumption. "They are creating many different, complicated little knots." "Each and every living being, every animal, has this."

People will be holy again

A great light of purity is coming for humanity. Practice in your place. A revelation was received from Mahāprabhujī and Devapurījī concerning powerful mantras. These sacred words herald a coming age. The current impurity, marked by violence and consumption of meat, will end. A pure Sat Yuga is approaching, replacing the Kali Yuga. People must purify themselves and their children through non-violence. Adopt a diet that causes no harm. This purity will manifest globally, as seen in certain families and disciples. Teach this to everyone. The impure will fade, and pure children will emerge. This transformation is the destined reality. "Kali Yuga is going, and Sat Yuga is coming. So we have to come and purify, purify our body all the time." "No killing any animals, no killings, no killings. We have so much fruits and everything to eat, all good things to eat."

Mahaprabhuji was like a father to everyone

Mahāprabhujī's greatness drew people from far distances who traveled by foot, cart, or camel. His presence was a great event, and he was considered like Śiva Bhagavān. He meditated in a deep underground chamber and lived simply. He ensured everyone was fed before he would eat, acting like a father or mother. In that era, people in villages lived well and celebrated together; when a child was born, the whole community rejoiced. Many spiritual beings like him lived without concern for money. Now, with modern machines and distractions, people have lost this simplicity and constantly judge. True spirituality involves compassion, such as not killing animals for food. We should treat all as brothers and sisters and nurture the goodness within our hearts. "Who has not eaten? Have you eaten or not?" He would check everywhere. Only after ensuring everyone had eaten would he say, "Okay, now I will eat." "If you say we are very spiritual, and we are killing animals and eating them, then what is that?"

Meditation on the Inner Sound

This is a meditation on the inner sound. Sit comfortably, close the eyes, and produce a single pleasant sound without any specific name. Raise four fingers, listen carefully, place them, and repeat five times. If two teeth are missing, the practice is ineffective. Bring teeth slightly upward, lips together, and press gently if teeth are intact. Ensure both sides feel the sensation and sound equally. This practice awakens both inner hearts, uniting them in the sound for great benefit. Later the sound rises into the brain. Not all languages can express this fully; in German, the sound remains only half inside. Many people cannot grasp it fully, even in India. A Swami from Yugoslavia learned it and demonstrates its best effect for the brain. Now, be aware of both sides, experience pleasantness. Go inward, repeat five times, and then lower the hands. Concentrate deeply on where the sound is perceived—left, right, shifting, or both. When both sides become one, keep eyes closed, let the sound resonate intensely inside, with no perception of self or others. Then rest, lie down, hands straight, surrender to the sound, feel it throughout the whole being, stretch, roll, stand, sit, and observe the sound lightly near the ear with the mouth. "If some teeth are missing—not just one, but two teeth are not present—then this practice will not be effective at all." "When you achieve this, you have learned to awaken both inner hearts, so to speak." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Darshan and dhan

Darśana is the true wealth, not money or gold. Darśana, dhana means property—but not money, only the knowledge given by Gurudeva. People chant “money, money,” yet that money is really the heart. Darśana is seeing God forever; that wealth never perishes. Give your child that true luggage, not worldly riches. Real father, mother, family are not only for worldly things; they are in the heart. Satsaṅg: Sat is Bhagavān, truth; saṅgha is who is truly with you. Once satsaṅg comes, it never departs. Māyā is a great cheater, attracting with sweet words and the three guṇas. She traps us, and we hang helpless, our path finished. For Keśava, Māyā becomes a woman; for a priest, the statue. For a yogī, a yoginī; for a king, the queen; for someone, a diamond. Even worthless shells become objects of attachment. A bhakta clings to his bhaktin; even Brahmā is attached to his wife. Listen, O saint: the story of Māyā is inexpressible. Nobody really speaks of it, for who is beyond Māyā? Real wealth is darśana alone. “Darśana, dhana. What is dhana? Property, but not money, not those things, but that knowledge given unto the Gurudeva.” “Māyā, mahātaganī, ham jānī – Māyā is a great cheater; we know this. She attracts us with the three guṇas, and we hang there, helpless.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We seek purity

The call is for purity in the Kali Yuga. This age is powerful and far-reaching, observed in trends like the prevalence of dark colors. Beautiful colors and purity are presented within the teachings and bhajans. One must not identify with blackness but with purity. The term pū describes a seeker in a dry state, refusing impure water and awaiting a single pure drop from above. We must proceed with this aspiration. In our practice, be very pure and clean. Declare "I am," for that sound is purity itself. True peace is found by looking to God within; it is here. This realization comes not in months but at life's end. "Please do not be black, please do not be black." "I am, I am... My sound, 'I am,' is pure—it is purity itself." Filming location: Vienna, Austria
