Devotion is a singular reality, expressed through many names and forms. The genuine saint or deity does not demand exclusive worship, for the divine essence is one. All human distinctions of country, color, or language are ultimately irrelevant. We gather to sing and remember this unity, honoring the lineage of teachers who point toward it. Each moment of life is profoundly precious, like a bullet fired that cannot be recalled. Our vital energy, or prāṇa, is the very force of life and feeling within the body. To concentrate on this prāṇa is to connect with the divine source. The spiritual journey requires great purity, akin to walking a sharp edge. Our inner negativity can cause regression, while cultivating oneness leads toward merging with the infinite, like a drop returning to the ocean. All external religious forms are like different names for the same water; the essence is one. "Because the real one is in oneness. If any God were to say, 'Do not worship this other God,' then neither is that God right, nor are you good for following such a command." "Your heart should be my heart. Your mind should be my mind. Feelings must be my feelings, everything." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The current pandemic reflects a shift in the Kali Yuga, serving as a consequence for human actions while highlighting the protection found in spiritual practice. This situation arose globally, uniquely affecting humanity, which may be linked to the widespread torture of animals. Those maintaining a sattvic lifestyle through vegetarianism, yoga, and meditation have remained largely unaffected. Spiritual gatherings create protective vibrations, safeguarding even those nearby. The era contains isolated realms of higher consciousness, akin to Satya Yuga, within the prevailing age. Various yoga paths exist, each valid and beautiful in their diversity, like different trees in a forest. True spiritual progress requires respecting all traditions while remaining steadfast in one's own guru lineage. The guru's light dispels all darkness for the sincere disciple. Our practice is structured in foundational stages, from nurturing children to advanced spiritual discipline, aligning with the development of the human sheaths. "Perhaps they prayed to God, 'God, why are you allowing this torture? Please, let humans suffer something in this Kali Yuga.' And it has come." "On the day you have fully accepted your guru, you become light. You can go anywhere there is darkness." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Earth is a living being, and all life possesses inherent wisdom and connection. Humans are not the sole intelligent beings; animals and insects demonstrate profound knowledge and care for their communities. Trees and forests hold vital energy that sustains all life. Modern human actions, like deforestation and chemical use, inflict a cancerous sickness upon the Earth, disrupting this natural harmony. True living requires respecting this interconnected web, not exploiting it. Practice involves simple, direct connection with nature and consistent spiritual discipline. Techniques like yoga and mantra purify the mind and must be continued throughout life, as there is no retirement from spiritual practice. Live gently upon this Earth, which is our universal mother and father. "Every living being knows somehow how to live." "Don’t think that only we are in this world as living beings. Others are only for eating. No, it is not." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The holy rivers Gaṅgā and Alaknandā provide a path for purification. The Ālagpurījī Siddhapīṭha tradition originates from Śiva in the Satya Yuga. The Alaknandā River flows from this tradition. It meets the Bhāgīrathī River at Dev Prayāg, forming the complete Gaṅgā. Gaṅgā is the sister of Pārvatī. The gods asked Gaṅgā to return to earth to prevent destruction. Śiva allowed Gaṅgā to land upon his head in the Himalayas. The river's descent enabled worship and ceremony. Another story tells of the disciple Gaṅgā, who consolidated waters to form the Bhāgīrathī River under Ṛṣi Bhagīratha. The Alaknandā River is connected to Nanda Devī, a disciple of Ālag Purījī. She offered herself to a tiger to protect cows, requesting a temple and union with her Gurudev. Bathing in these rivers cleanses negative thoughts and impurities. The purifying power exists even if the rivers become polluted by villages. True purification requires moving beyond worldly desires to the desire for God. The duty is to be kind and help others. "Śiva said, 'Gaṅgā, you land on my head.'" "Bathing in that river cleanses all negative thinking and impurities." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Karma yoga is the path of selfless service, the essence of spiritual practice. We gather in nature for sādhana, observing the world's beauty and ceremonies. The groups include those dedicated to seva, the karma yogīs. This practice is found in all religions, like nuns serving the poor, for God resides in everyone. Service is not only grand donations; it is the simple, mindful act of helping. Even in traffic, allowing another driver to pass is seva. Helping an elder with a bag or moving a creature from danger is seva. But one must serve with wisdom, understanding the true need. Action performed skillfully and selflessly is the foundation of yoga. All prayers and meditations are secondary to this. You always have time for seva in thought, word, and deed. "Who can serve the poor people, the needy people? There is maybe God inside." "Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam. Yoga will be successful through the sādhanā, the karma sādhanā."

Divine reality encompasses both male and female principles, requiring balance in worship and practice. Begin each day with prayer and remembrance of the divine, seeking blessings for all actions to be offered as worship. This devotion sustains happiness and energy. Worldly pursuits and identities are transient, as recent global hardships reveal. Do not cling to status or education; all return to the earth. Engage in necessary work with humility. Spiritual practice maintains health and connection. In difficulty, rely on prayer, mantra, and faith in the divine within. God provides for all beings. Maintain devotion to both earthly and spiritual parents, honoring them as divine reflections. Family harmony is essential. Suffering is a test that draws one closer to the divine, as shown in the lives of great saints. Persist in sādhanā with humility and kindness. "Prayer first, that my Lord give me that energy, give me your blessings, that whatever action I will be taking, it should be pūjā." "God gives you everything. No one will sleep hungry, from the elephant to the ant."

The moon is a symbol of Śiva and the balance of energies within. It resides on Śiva's head, signifying its importance. In marital ceremonies, a moon-like crown symbolizes union. The left side represents the female principle, Śakti or Pārvatī, associated with the heart and mercy. Energy channels, Iḍā and Piṅgalā, move like a serpent, balancing male and female energies throughout the chakras. This serpentine energy, the kuṇḍalinī, supports the earth and is linked to cosmic forces like Śeṣanāga. Awakening this energy leads to spiritual knowledge beyond academic learning. True spiritual attainment, demonstrated by faith, surpasses scholarly knowledge. The resonance of OM originates from the navel, and its correct chanting involves a still tongue and navel, creating resonance throughout the body. "The left is female, and the right is the male." "For those who are on the spiritual path... that is the different science." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Today is a day of honoring the sacred bond between brothers and sisters, observed on this full moon. Many festivals exist to unite people in joy and tradition. A story tells of a wise woman who, by tying a protective thread on a king's wrist, established him as her brother, thus creating this celebration. This thread signifies a pure familial bond, transforming relationships into that of siblings, beyond marital consideration. Such traditions maintain peace and respect within communities. Our well-being is also deeply connected to living in harmony with natural cycles. Consuming foods in their proper season, as provided by nature, is essential for health, unlike modern habits which lead to illness. Physical movement through yoga āsanas is the foundation of health, preparing the body for the vital practice of prāṇāyāma. This breath work balances the subtle energy channels, known as nāḍīs, and is central to the holistic path of Yoga in Daily Life. The practice must be gentle and gradual, following a structured system to avoid harm and cultivate lasting well-being. "At that time, women and girls were worshipped more. Now it is not so here, but this festival, this day, remains." "One should not overdo. Therefore, the practice should be peaceful. In our 'Yoga in Daily Life' book, everything is written from beginning to end." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The human form is a divine sculpture emerging from formless space. We originate from that clear, empty expanse. From space comes light, then air, then water, then solid earth. These five elements constitute the physical body. An inner engineer shapes this form within the mother's womb, assembling bones and nerves. The life within is the ātmā, the eternal essence. This body is a temporary altar. The elements are indestructible; they return to their source. The individual consciousness, the jīvā, persists like space, yet gathers impressions. A true yogī understands this creation and is that conscious energy itself. Spiritual practice is essential. One must prepare the body through sustained discipline to sit in alert meditation. All creatures possess innate knowledge for life. Humans must use their understanding to progress on the path. "From there comes the fire. It means the light. And from there comes the air, breath: inhale, exhale." "Life, it is a life. Now, these five elements, they are not destroyed. Nothing is not destroyed at all."

Heaven and hell are within the human being, not in external realms. This understanding is our current theme. The global situation has prompted reflection. A purification is occurring, particularly affecting those with certain lifestyles. Those maintaining vegetarian or pure diets have shown resilience. This period has forced introspection, with many experiencing depression due to isolation and economic loss. Yet, it has also reunited families and revived cultural and spiritual exploration. The human experience contains both joy and fear, unlike animals who operate on a simpler plane of existence. Our inner state dictates our reality. Practice is essential. Cultivate inner joy and maintain daily spiritual discipline, such as yoga and mindful living. Protect your inner purity, for negative thoughts can spoil everything, while positive destiny, or kismat, resides within and cannot be stolen. "Svarga and Naraka, the heaven and the hell, both are on the earth." "If you have everything beautiful... but just for a little, you are angry... all your good things are again stolen, gone."

Svarga and Naraka exist within the body, shaped by thoughts and karma. Thoughts and actions create immediate experiences of heaven or hell. Goodwill and happiness for all beings bring inner Svarga. Suffering, greed, and cruelty produce inner Naraka. Even animals undergo karmic joy or torment according to past deeds. Karma manifests as physical agony at life’s end or sudden release. A realized being transcends bodily pain. A true bhakta remains untouched by external loss. The external world mirrors internal duality. Heaven and hell are present here and now. Right love and good karma are essential. Duality persists with body-identification. The yogi rises above this duality. Brahmaloka knows neither pain nor joy. That state is like the boundless sky. Realization dissolves the distinction between heaven and hell. Everything rests in divine hands. “In a single moment one can be in Naraka, and in another moment one can be in Svarga. True bhaktas feel happiness and goodwill for all beings, living in heaven.” “The yogī goes above Svarga and Naraka and attains Brahmaloka. In Brahman, there is neither pain nor joy.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

True spirituality transcends worldly identities and formal knowledge, arising from inner wisdom and humble connection. Our essence is not found in surface roles like politician or religionist, but within. Spiritual persons are humble and kind, never proclaiming their own greatness. Formal education is a limited, different path. True knowledge, vidyā, emerges from within, not from books. A saint without schooling knew sacred texts by heart, his wisdom flowing from inner realization. Spiritual relationships are like rivers merging into one ocean. We must balance mind and heart, practicing inner discipline. Modern life separates families, but human connection is paramount, especially at life's end. A mother's final wish is for her child to be present, as she was at their birth. This bond is our true foundation. "Spirituality is there when there is a balance between the mind and the heart." "My son, I don’t need anything from you... when I will pass away, you should be with me." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Life is breath, and breath is life. The span of life is preordained and cannot be ultimately prolonged. Physical yoga and breath techniques maintain comfort and health for the body within its allotted time. A story illustrates this: a rishi sought to delay his end by claiming endless study. He was shown that the knowledge of the universe is as vast as the Himalayas, and trying to comprehend it all grain by grain is futile. The appointed time arrives for all. Beyond physical practices lie deeper yogic paths concerning the five elements within us. These practices prepare one for the journey of the soul, which transcends the temporary body.

The yoga of alertness involves Yoga Nidrā and spiritual awareness. The body is a flight; the heart is the engine. Sleep allows inner repair and cleaning. Restlessness in sleep arises from unresolved problems. Yoga Nidrā cleanses and relaxes through controlled instruction. The teacher must not close eyes during class. Alertness extends to observing all surroundings. Teachers who close eyes are lazy and disconnected. Guiding students into a unified rhythm is essential. Confidence must be given to all practitioners. The five koshas require control for spiritual progress. Study of kuṇḍalinī and cakras is necessary. Alertness prevents accidents in driving and swimming. Water is deadly without proper awareness. Spiritual lineage from Mahāprabhujī provides this knowledge. Discipline shields practitioners when infused with awareness. Inner joy arises from controlled Yoga Nidrā. "The teacher should hold class, not closing their eyes and not looking at their students." "Jagrata, awaken. Jagrata is many different kinds of Jagrata." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A mantra is the mind's tool for liberation. The restless mind cannot be controlled by force, like a football in a game you cannot hold. The essence is to transcend the mind and its desires. A poem states: "The mind has died, but 'mine-ness' has not died; the body dies again and again." Desires are illusions, like a mirage of water on a road that retreats as you approach. Hope and thirst bind you. True knowledge sees the reflection for what it is. The path requires purifying the elements and letting go of desire. "The mind has died, but 'mine-ness' has not died; the body dies again and again." "Hope and thirst have not died, says Dāsa Kabīr." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A global crisis has forced introspection, revealing our fragility and the superficiality of modern pursuits. Many sought distraction, but in India, cultural broadcasts reawakened spiritual knowledge. This period serves as a divine lesson to slow down and seek inner truth. The current proliferation of hastily certified yoga teachers reflects a profound misunderstanding of the path. True discipleship requires decades of humility, not a certificate claiming mastery. Spiritual attainment is not a diploma received in life. Liberation is decided at the final moment, beyond simplistic judgments of good and bad karma. The ego that proclaims itself a guru is an imitation, like a trained monkey. The real Guru is the supreme reality itself. Seek that within. "God said, 'Relax.'" "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Maintaining a joyful heart is essential, especially during challenging times. The current global depression stems from a collective error. This situation arose because humanity alone was affected, prompting reflection. Many have turned inward, discovering family and abandoning harmful habits. Depression has become widespread, closing hearts and mouths. The practice of Yoga in Daily Life offers a path forward, emphasizing openness and relaxation. Laughter is a powerful tool to reopen the heart. True beauty and wellness are found within, not through external adornment. The physical body, while important, is just one layer of our being. "People have turned very much inward. They understood what family is." "Beauty is your heart, beauty is your words, beauty is your behaviors." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The oneness of grace flows through the lineage and connects all beings. Blessings are received by chanting the names of the gurus, who provide energy and goodness for all life. The guru's presence is everywhere, regardless of distance. Invisible forces, like prāṇa or a virus, spread powerfully and unseen. Similarly, a nation's leaders work in oneness to protect and connect their country and all others, just as great saints give energy to everyone. This reflects global unity, where countries support each other. True spiritual teachers serve all without distinction, fostering unity over separation. The practice done here purifies the five sheaths. The awakened awareness gained acts as a protective vaccination. When a true guru accepts a disciple, that grace works ceaselessly, even if the disciple falters and descends through lower births, until liberation is ultimately granted. "Where is all this vegetation? They take care of and give love to all creatures in the water, in the ocean." "If there is a real spiritual swāmī, or you should call the guru, they call the guru. But in reality, they are not the guru. They do not protect everyone." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Celebrating the Divine Presence: Bhajans, Dance, and the Satguru’s Grace. A bhajan declares every blossom and soul is happy where the Satguru comes. The glory of that Master is beyond description. The Satguru can turn a worm into a bee for those with the prize. Body, mind, and soul are offered to the Guru. The Guru showers nectar of knowledge and wisdom, like heavy clouds that satisfy completely. The Guru is the philosopher’s stone, changing iron to gold with the words So’ham. Through endless lives, suffering is experienced, but the Guru liberates and completes the destiny. The Guru protects from death and saves the soul to infinity. Everything becomes bliss, and there is no return to the circle of birth and death. A dance is performed, worshipping Lord Gaṇeśa, remover of obstacles. The dance worships Lord Śiva in the Liṅgam, the light of millions of suns, liberating from birth and death. The divine Mother, supreme power, is worshipped; her compassion fulfills devotees’ wishes. The dance of Mīrā, who drinks poison with a smile, calls on the mountain-lifting Lord. This spiritual dance is a science, a part of the Vedas, destroying negativity. It is taught to all who feel it in the heart. “Every bud of my body is filled with happiness.” “My Guru Dev is that Paras which changes a piece of iron into gold with the words of So’ham.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The immense power of a single drop is the principle of concentrated potency. One drop of rain awakens dormant life in the earth. Similarly, a single drop of medicine can save a life. This same principle applies to spiritual practice. The subtle drip of a mantra or the sacred syllable OM holds the power to awaken consciousness. This is the science of yoga and Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, a practice of mental purification through precise techniques like prāṇāyāma. These methods channel powerful prāṇic energies. True power resides in the root, not the quantity. In nature, the greatest power is in the roots of a plant, which draw nourishment from the earth. Our own roots are in our prāṇic body and lineage. Āyurveda and homeopathy understand this principle of quality over quantity, using minute, potent substances. Collective practice in satsaṅga provides essential support, just as certain trees thrive only in community. Sacred nourishment, like properly prepared ghee from a lovingly raised cow, carries immense prāṇic strength, especially for mothers after childbirth. Modern interference, like genetically modifying seeds, disrupts natural cycles. Consistent, moderate sādhanā is the key, not sporadic intensity. "One drop from the sky—every drop is powerful." "In the roots is so much power."

The sacred month of Śrāvaṇa holds wisdom connecting tradition, nature, and life. Trees like the banyan and pīpal are revered, seen as personifications of the divine and providers of continuous oxygen. Unmarried daughters perform rituals, offering water and tying threads to the pīpal tree with hopes for a blessed marriage. Life decisions, especially marriage, must transcend mere emotion or beauty. Lasting union requires alignment through Jyotiṣa, the celestial science, to avoid future suffering for couples and their children. Authentic Jyotiṣa must come from a genuine Brāhmaṇa lineage, not those who commercialize it. Spiritual practice begins with perfecting mantra pronunciation, progressing from speech to writing to silent mental repetition, ultimately becoming automatic. This integration of outer discipline and inner alignment is the true path. "Do not marry because of love. Do not make it only an emotion." "The one who says, 'No, I do not need anything. I will do this.' ... Only that one can do the jyotiṣa who is of this caste of the jyotiṣa." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The practice of Aum moves through the chakras with prāṇa. Chanting extends beyond three repetitions. The numeral system uses nine digits and the essential zero, invented in India. The sound for the number nine often relates to 'N' across languages. The Earth is a globe, first lifted from the ocean by the Varāha avatāra. Destiny is pre-written by Vidhātā, a divine power, for every being at birth. This script is immutable; life events, including survival, follow its decree. Ancient scriptures, primarily in India, contain this knowledge. An extended story illustrates that even the powerful Rāvaṇa could not alter the destined marriage for his daughter. Therefore, one should not worry excessively. Perform your sādhanā and duties. Destiny ultimately rests with God and may be transcended through yoga practice over time. "Destiny is yours, mine, anyone's—your dog, your cow... What is in the destiny is already written therein." "What she writes, no one can change. Yes, no one can run from it."

Culture is the cradle of humanity. A traveler once wept, missing the sound of a European clock, a symbol of the tradition that keeps people. Culture preserves humanity. Many traditions exist from Christmas to Christmas. In some lands, churches are sold for a single dollar because the tradition is lost. Yet, this land and its culture belong to you, not to others. Discipleship has flourished here across generations, a living tradition. A soldier, freezing on a Christmas during the war, whispered, "Where is my home?" That love for home is needed again. People may leave, but they often miss their home, their bread, their simple happiness. We must not be blocked by fear or sadness; we must choose happiness. Touch the trees, your grandfathers, who give shelter and life. This connection is yoga in daily life—happiness, joy, love, peace, harmony, oneness. We are all one. "The culture keeps the people. The culture keeps humanity, so still, thanks to God." "Touch this tree. It is the holiest of the holy, and we are also like this." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Guidance for a spiritual retreat focuses on discipline, health, and awareness. Eat moderately to avoid lethargy and support meditation. Maintain silence primarily, speaking only for essential needs. Respect your food and the process of eating. After meals, take a walk or rest briefly for balance. Be responsible for your own plate and utensils; clean and keep them to minimize waste and plastic harm. Respect all who perform service. Walk slowly and maintain distance as needed. Yet also be free to talk and connect with others. Practice laughter to open the heart and counteract depression. Engage fully with prāṇa and the certainty that energy and work will return. "Try in these days to eat a little less." "This time, I give you the freedom. Talk. Speak."

Yoga is the science of humanity, uniting body, mind, and soul. The world faces blockage, but love and prayer foster oneness. The human consists of five sheaths: annamaya, pranamaya, manomaya, vijnanamaya, anandamaya. These layers conceal the Atma, like an onion with no core. Prana, the vital energy, circulates through ida, pingala, sushumna and the chakras. Theory without practice is hollow, like food posters for the hungry. The teaching is a seed that must be planted in the inner earth. The seed sacrifices its form to sprout and grow within the practitioner. Guru parampara transmits this living knowledge across generations. Discipline and balance are essential; without them, one loses control. The mind dissolves, and only a yogi traverses the path after death. Practice alone reveals the inner dimension beyond words. Set samkalpa: for health, for the guidance of the Guru, for long life, for the happiness of all. Surrender to the Guru, for the Guru is the cosmic power. Thus, yoga in daily life leads to bliss and oneness. This is the science of the self. "Yoga is the science of humanity." "Through these five, we can reach our Ātmā."

The eternal treasure lies within, not in external searches. What is received from outside is temporary training, while the inner truth is permanent. All beings are part of the cyclical wheel of birth and death. The aim is to awaken the inner prāṇa, which is beyond the five elements, to transcend this cycle. Many external techniques and disciplines are pursued, but lasting peace and oneness arise from within through sincere practice and purification, not from forcing results. True realization comes spontaneously from inner awakening, not from declaring oneself a master. "When they get up, also silent. Going, walking, silent. And the dining hall is also very silent." "In discipline, this is that I am not becoming a great master. Or I will be a good teacher, then you will not be. It will come itself within our self." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The environment profoundly shapes our practice and health. This place holds a divine atmosphere, saturated with prāṇa from nature, offering healing energy. Many seek such air only briefly, yet here it is constant. Our bodies inherently require this pure environment, just as they need proper nourishment. The quality of food is paramount; most ailments stem from poor diet. We must learn to select and prepare fresh, sattvic ingredients with correct spices. True nourishment comes from conscious eating, not mere consumption. Cooking knowledge is essential, yet largely lost. What we ingest directly determines our vitality and capacity for spiritual practice. "Most ailments stem from poor diet.

A gathering reflects the unity and discipline of spiritual practice. The seminar was peaceful, with everyone practicing love and devotion. Organizers worked tirelessly to create this opportunity. Participants came from many places, yet nationality was irrelevant. The focus was on shared humanity. Spirituality means purity, kindness, humbleness, non-violence, and respect. It involves prayer and meditation to purify the inner self. All five elements exist within the body. Life is given to live happily and peacefully. Yoga is union and walking one's own path without competition. It is about bringing human to human through kindness and respect. This creates oneness. The expansion of practice is through humility and friendship, not through claiming superiority. "Spirituality is purity, kindness, humbleness, ahiṃsā, and respect." "Yoga is union. What is the union?

True spiritual knowledge and power come only through the guru's grace and disciplined practice within the lineage. The systematic techniques, like Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, are of rare quality and lead from the physical to the cosmic. This path is not about worldly knowledge but divine devotion, uniting practitioners beyond religion. Success requires the guru's blessing and correct practice within the paramparā; mixing or altering the teachings leads to failure. A true guru knows and guides the disciple, often invisibly, and the connection is magnetic. These powerful techniques are not for casual teaching or daily use; they must be preserved and transmitted only by those properly authorized. The disciple's sincere practice attracts the guru's grace, which is as specific and nourishing as a mother's milk for her child. "Without Gurudeva, no knowledge can be." "Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam.

Consistent, correct practice according to the master’s instructions is essential in yoga, lest one lose health and spiritual connection. Every teacher must follow the “Yoga in Daily Life” book precisely; no personal variations should be taught in class. Improper Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna is observed, with practitioners lying down or not following postures. This neglect dissipates spiritual energy and drives students away. Daily, systematic practice transforms life, bringing health and vitality, while lapses lead to visible decline. The body ages regardless of makeup, so one must practice exactly for a longer, healthier life. In class, 15 minutes of practice should be followed by only two minutes relaxation, not long rests. A complete session lasts one and a half hours: exercises, pranayama, and meditation. Attending satsang without daily practice is insufficient; spiritual senses grow dull. The hiatus of isolation brought family harmony and home practice, yet upon reunion, energy was lacking. The Kākabhaṭīśa letter-by-letter teaching reveals deep spiritual guidance. Avoid sin (pāpa) and ignorant jesting (pha), which bring suffering across millions of births. Discard negative deeds (ba) to unlock fortune; perform bhakti (bha) without fear. Remain in the Guru’s service (ma), remember the Divine (ya) for worldly and spiritual wealth. Seek God within (ra), and cultivate concentration (la) instead of wasting time in gossip. Without concentration, nothing is attained; only through focused practice can one meet the Divine. Thus, practice faithfully; what is to be done tomorrow, do today; what is today, do now. “Pha phā pholā phire agyānī, lakh chaurāsī bhukte khānī.” “Lā lā lagan binā na pāvo, vātoṃ meṃ kyuṃ samay gamāvo.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Maintain discipline for health and understand the sacred sound. Illness spreads when precautions are ignored. Maintain physical distance at all times, not only during gatherings. A single infection can affect many. Discipline is essential. Prevention is paramount. Our elements constitute the body, but the soul is distinct. Ultimately, all elements return to earth or sky, achieving unity. The sound Oṁ represents this oneness. It is a universal vibration found in many traditions. Its correct pronunciation involves a steady tongue and navel focus, a yogic technique. All power in existence is Śakti.

The living voice of the ṛṣis endures through ages, unmoving as the polar star. The Vedas originate from ṛṣis who chanted mentally for countless ages before writing. Yoga’s true antiquity far exceeds five thousand years. The Saptaṛṣis shine as stars, with one star fixed—the polar star, Dhruva. A neglected child, Dhruva, sought his father’s lap; God granted an eternal, unmovable place. Divine grace protects those overlooked by family. That voice of Dhruva remains present through sound. Saints’ bhajans and poems carry their immortal presence. Vedavyāsa composed eighty thousand verses, Nārada’s words live on. When chanting, acknowledge the saint who gave the song. A man lamented all bhajans were written, nothing new remained. Holy Guruji replied all butter is eaten but the cow is untouched. Nurture the cow, fresh butter flows endlessly. Musicians played for villagers; an old woman wept, mistaking sounds for her goats’ bleats; none truly understood. A yogi must receive the song in every cell, with inner soul, not mere amusement. True understanding awakens the divine resonance. “God came and gave him a better lap—one that no one can move, an unmovable place.” “They did not eat the cow. Milk the cow, and take double butter.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The pure path of Yoga in Daily Life expands consciousness through bhakti and selfless service. Yoga in Daily Life is practiced worldwide. In China, practitioners adopt it without guidance, producing unauthorized books. Yet they practice and pray. Swamiji television serves without profit. During the pandemic, many helped through the appeal. Yoga in Daily Life offers physical techniques and spiritual teachings, meditation, and bhakti from the guru lineage. Attempts to bring yoga from India to Europe failed. Ramdev spread yoga across India but not into Europe. True Tantra is not sexual. Expand consciousness into the Cosmic Self. Open your heart and knowledge, do not be narrow-minded. Distance from the guru increases devotion, not attachment. Disciples come and go, but the true devotee remains with the Lord. Darkness cannot approach the light.

The mantra provides refuge and purification. Recite it mentally in daily life to invoke divine presence and protection. All five elements purify. Earth absorbs impurity, water blesses, air carries life, fire transforms, and space contains all. These elements cleanse body, mind, and atmosphere. Use pure food, breath, and thought for health. Sattvic diet and pranayama remove inner impurities. Joyful practices like song and dance also elevate the spirit. Purification through elements and discipline leads the soul upward.

The path is to awaken from the dream of worldly existence. A beautiful bhajan speaks of selling one's sleep, symbolizing the desire to transcend unconscious living. The true technique is Yoga Nidrā, a conscious awakening, not mere physical sleep. One must move from slumber into awareness. The spiritual journey requires truth and righteous action. Without truth, there is no liberation. Devotion and meditation on the guide are essential. The human life is the perfect opportunity for this realization. "Without truth, you will not have liberation." "Therefore, you should make your life fruitful." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The nature of ultimate reality and the soul is an unfathomable question. We speak of existence, yet certainty eludes us. We believe in an afterlife or liberation, but these are unverified thoughts. The material world shows consistency, like seeds yielding specific fruits, but the spiritual realm is unknown. We ask if the soul returns or merges, using metaphors like the ocean and its evaporating waters or a single spark causing a vast fire. These illustrate the puzzle of the one becoming many. Śaṅkarācārya taught that perceived reality is like mistaking a rope for a snake; the fright is real until the truth is seen. Yet the rope itself is not ultimate. Therefore, do not live in fear. Be happy and do your best to enjoy life in this body. The truth is described as "one in all and all in one." Practice meditation to go within yourself, for seeking outside yields nothing. External scriptures and teachings are varied and ultimately unreliable compared to direct inner experience. Maintain your health through practice, but understand that the breath, or prāṇa, is the unseen force controlling life. In the end, we are all in one. "One in all and all in one." "Everything we have to do ourselves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Respect and fully utilize the blessings, energy, and knowledge bestowed by great beings and the divine. Do not claim mastery, for this blocks the knowledge and prevents spiritual growth. What is received is a heritage from ancestors, not personal property. Great spiritual masters and saints exist through generations, flowing with enduring energy like ancient rivers. Therefore, always adore your ancestors, your guru, or your parents, for they are the source of your path. Neglecting this root leads to being lost. A true master remains a disciple, performing duty with humility. Everything in nature, like an ancient tree, holds this heritage and offers blessings when approached with reverence. "While it is given to us, we must still adore our ancestors." "Everyone who becomes a master should know: 'I am the disciple. My master is other; I am only a disciple.'"

The Upaniṣads contain the ultimate knowledge, Vedānta. The term means to sit near the Master, signifying the disciple's reverent mental settling to destroy ignorance. Brahman is the highest Self, pure being beyond qualities. The Kena Upaniṣad asks, "By whom?" It teaches that Brahman is the power behind all faculties, which the senses cannot perceive. A story illustrates this: after a victory, the gods Agni and Vāyu failed tasks set by a mysterious Yakṣa. The goddess Umā then revealed the Yakṣa was Brahman. The victory belonged to that power, not the gods. The lessons are that a Guru is essential for knowledge and that one is not the true doer. "It is that by which the eye sees, but which itself cannot be seen by the eye." "I am not the doer; only God is the doer." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Beyond body and mind lies true liberation. Physical techniques are important but will not take you further. The body is like a car; at the destination you leave it. Within the body is something that wants to go to the highest. Body and mind have no lasting sense. The body finishes suddenly, and the mind has no connection. You cannot control the mind. The body brings liberation; liberation and the highest are the same. The path goes through the five sheaths: food, vital force, mind, wisdom, bliss. Only body exercises and wanting a good mind are not enough. Dependence on the mind makes you lost. Go through the sheaths to reach yogic knowledge. Then real power comes. Without a body, nothing can be done. Keep the body healthy. Do not torture it with too much food and drink. Wrong nutrition brings disease. “Body and mind have no sense in it.” “If you depend on your mind, then it will make you lost.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Monday is Śiva's day, a key time for fasting and discipline. Our lives are governed by the sun, moon, and stars. The moon is Śiva. Monday begins our week. Different cultures have made different days holy or free, often losing the original discipline. We have lost the strict traditions of fasting found in other faiths. Fasting is not merely for spirituality but to give the body a complete rest. True discipline means consuming nothing—no food or water. We should adopt this for our health. Eating less gives more energy; eating too much makes us lazy. Practice this discipline slowly. Commit to fasting on Monday for Kriyā practitioners. Follow the rules of your practice precisely. "Fasting is not only for spirituality or God, but we should give the body one day completely free. That is very important." "When you fast... If you want to really keep the fast like Muslims, then do not drink or eat anything—no ice cream, no chocolate, and also no water." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Guru is the supreme reality and the sole source of liberation. The ceremony is an act of worship to that principle. The ritual involves purification, mantra chanting, and offerings to the divine. The Guru is visualized as the remover of all obstacles. Devotion is expressed through the sanctification of the seat and the elements. The practice centers on venerating the Guru's feet and form. The ultimate goal is to receive grace for enlightenment. "Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." "Dhyāna Mūlaṁ Gurur Mūrtiḥ, Pūjā Mūlaṁ Guror Padam, Mantra Mūlaṁ Guror Vākyaṁ, Mokṣa Mūlaṁ Guru Kripa."

Today is the Mahasamadhi day of the divine mother, Sadhvi Shri Purnanand Bhartiji. She was a synonym of love. A child brought here at six hours old was first held by her. She sat under the neem tree near the Shiva temple, doing her mala. She always had prasada. Whoever came, she welcomed, saying 'aobheta.' She bit out of affection, then gave prasada. Her love was pure, unconditional, like all mothers. She gave birth to a great spiritual light, Vishwaguruji, who dispels ignorance like the sun. All children are equal to her, as rivers merge in the ocean. She departed from this world and merged into cosmic light. She is always present in astral form, blessing. Circumambulate her shrine nine times, and wishes are fulfilled. Remember her love, and give freely from your heart. She was not an ordinary mother; she brought a solar-like divine being to Earth. We offer salutations to her lotus feet. "Māṭājī was a synonym of love." "For her, all children are equal; just as all the different rivers—Gaṅgā, Yamunā, Kāverī, Sarasvatī—flow in different ways but all merge into the ocean." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The sanctity of daily practice is found in mindful compassion and ritual. Amāvasyā is a holy day for sādhanā. Many perform acts like offering water to plants and feeding ants. We must not kill ants; they are thirsty and hungry. Fasting is not starvation but a disciplined remembrance, integrating practice into a busy life. In villages, people protect ant colonies with thorny bushes and stones from predators, an act of true compassion. Our kitchen is a sacred space. Do not wear shoes there. Honor the Annadevatā with mantras and offerings. The first chapati is for animals like Nandī or a dog. Do not waste food; it is a sin. Remember times of scarcity when people had nothing. We eat while other creatures watch. We must not kill animals; we have everything we need. Even in hardship, the principle is to protect life. Elevate your daily environment by honoring the divine within it. Practice need not be long but must be sincere. "Fasting does not mean starving; starving is not good. But why fast? On which day?" "If we waste food three times a day, in one year that amounts to thousands of sins." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Yoga is a universal science for human health, harmony, and connection to the cosmic Self. It is practiced globally through postures, breathwork, and meditation. We gather to practice these techniques together. The session includes physical movements like Sarvahitāsana, focusing on stretching and rotation, followed by breathing exercises such as Agnisāra kriyā, which involves breath retention. We conclude with seated meditation, concentrating on relaxation from head to toe and reciting mantras for peace. This practice aims to harmonize the body and mind, making us healthier and more relaxed daily. It is only a glimpse of the yoga available for life. "Yoga is, first and foremost, for humans: for good health, harmony, peace, understanding, and for God’s blessings upon us, that we may come to the cosmic Self." "Feel thyself that you are the one with myself; that’s all." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The dark moon is a period for inner purification and mindful practice. Guru Pūrṇimā is a day of spiritual accounting, assessing one's practice and blessings. Celestial events like the dark moon affect the body and consciousness subtly, as do invisible diseases. This influence necessitates purification. Wash your body, hair, and clothes to remove dead cells. Practice prāṇāyāma but do not look at the sun during the darkness. Stay indoors. While some avoid chanting, it is beneficial to repeat mantras. The event impacts all life—animals, birds, and the ocean. Do not eat junk food. Fast if possible, though medicine is an exception. Donate or feed animals. After the event, resume normalcy. "Spirituality is not a religion, but it is what is happening within ourselves." "During that moon, we should not be outside; we should stay in our house." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The path of yoga demands a living master. Yoga extends far beyond physical practice. Perfection requires the practice given by the Guru. Without this, one remains incomplete. It is like seeking a diploma without attending university. Sanātana Dharma is eternal and unchanging. Other faiths alter their scriptures and claim sole truth. Yet God is one, known by many names. The living master preserves this eternal knowledge. Step by step, one must go to the master. The story of the Rākṣasa serves as warning. A boon granted death by one’s own hand. Misapplied power led to self-destruction. This shows the danger of learning without proper guidance. Therefore, practice persistently under the master. Realize the oneness of all through the living guru. "For that, we need the practice given by the Guru. Otherwise, we will not be perfect." "If Kṛṣṇa knows, then that is the Gītā."

The path to Brahmaloka requires purification of thoughts and deeds. The best for a human is to attain cosmic consciousness and reach Brahmaloka. Various yoga techniques exist; whatever is done with body, mind, and energy is yoga. The highest meditation is silent mantra repetition after chanting aloud. The mind is restless; mantra quenches inner thirst like water quenches physical thirst. There are two types of karma: good leads to Svarga, bad to Naraka. Svarga is not permanent; when good karma is exhausted, return to earth follows. Even from lower realms, beings return. To avoid return, turn from negative to positive karma, then distribute all good deeds. Keeping good for oneself causes rebirth; giving it away leads to Parabrahma. A story illustrates: a Guru sent two disciples away for five years, commanding no touch of women. After a year, the Guru tested them with a young woman needing to cross a river. One disciple carried her on his back, the other helped alongside. The carrier forgot the incident; the other remembered and later accused the carrier of breaking the rule. The carrier replied: “I carried her only across the river, but you have been carrying her in your mind for four years.” This shows negative thoughts, even without bad deeds, block success; pure actions with no mental clinging bring freedom. Thus, clean up mind, heart, feelings, and body. “Negative thoughts—no matter what you do, if we keep negative thoughts, we will not be successful.” “I carried her only across the river. But you, for four years, you have been carrying her until now. You are carrying her in your mind.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Spiritual development depends on parental guidance and the master's influence. Parents filled with love and spirituality teach about God and the Master's will. Being with holy saints from childhood fosters a nature inclined toward purity. The master imparts knowledge through everyday conduct, not formal lectures. This foundation sustains one while moving throughout the world. Yoga is not merely physical postures. It resides within human consciousness, the heart, and a humble perspective toward all existence. Maintaining a childlike purity is essential, meaning to remain a child of God and one's master. This state brings humility and the understanding that mistakes are surrendered to the master. One should feel relaxed, knowing divine protection is present, while also wishing to protect others. The relationship between guru and disciple mirrors that of parent and child. The master views all disciples as one, without duality, guiding them with oneness, peace, love, and harmony toward the Supreme. "Yoga is within human consciousness, in the human heart, in human humbleness, in a humble way of looking at everything." "The master has all disciples as one, and that is very, very good. Everyone has a different nature... But the Master should have all the same feelings, taking in the heart the oneness and peace." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

The glory of Guru Pūrṇimā and sacred fellowship is celebrated. This day honors the Guru, who is the source of knowledge and tradition. The Guru principle is everywhere, not confined to one place. In this time of global difficulty, devotees should meditate on their Guru at their own homes. Maintain health and distance to continue spiritual practice. The tradition flows from Sadāśiva through Śaṅkarācārya to the present Ācāryas. The upcoming Kumbh Melā in Haridwar is a gathering of saints, dependent on improved conditions. The ultimate message is universal well-being and peace. "Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." "Sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ, sarve santu nirāmayāḥ, sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu, mā kaścid duḥkha bhāg bhavet." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The path of Guru Bhakti and the observance of Guru Pūrṇimā. Pay complete attention to the Guru’s words, absorbing every syllable as nectar. Practice the guru-given mantra or mālā without interruption, regarding it as essential as daily hygiene. Never question the Guru; the Guru’s word is absolute command. Even Lord Rāma and Lord Kṛṣṇa submitted to a guru, showing that life without a Guru is incomplete. The disciple is nothing without the Guru’s grace. The disciple must become a vessel without holes, able to retain the knowledge poured in. True devotion is rare; many harbor selfish intentions. On Guru Pūrṇimā, fast and approach the Guru with a plate bearing chandan, kumkum, rice, sacred thread, dakṣiṇā, fruits, and a coconut. Tie the thread around the Guru’s right wrist and toe. Offer a flower garland filled with love, then perform full prostration, praying for blessings and forgiveness. After the offerings, perform āratī. “Guru Vākya, Guru Ājñā, Avacāra Nīyo.” “Guru Kṛpā He Kevalam, Śiṣya Ke Ānanda Maṅgalam.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
