Anuṣṭhāna is a disciplined spiritual practice requiring strict adherence. A short retreat of five days is insufficient for profound attainment without proper conduct. The practice involves systematic purification of the subtle channels through specific breath techniques. Discipline extends beyond the practice hall to include regulated eating, silence, and minimal activity. An ideal schedule dedicates nine hours daily to sādhanā, including prāṇāyāma and chakra purification. This rigor purifies the system and promotes health. The practice is not a casual activity but a committed undertaking. "Forget your usual eating habits. Just come, drink water, eat what is given, and meditate." "Anuṣṭhāna should be for two, three weeks, or a month. But of course, everyone has families." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The soul’s cloth is purified only by the constant color of God’s Name. Kabir Das taught that this body is a shawl, a chadar, woven over months in the mother’s womb. Purity comes through heat, through tapasya and sadhana, not by blaming master or friends. Mere practice for decades yields no color. The shawl is delicate, breaking from worldly touch, soiled by desires, anger, jealousy. Taking iron tablets may fail; direct injection from the Master succeeds. Constant remembrance from the heart is the needed injection. The inner soul is fragile; samsara spots it instantly. One must steep in the color from the heart, like a crystal that gathers no dust. The eight chakras and five tattvas spin the thread and weave the cloth. Day by day, karma soils it. The Guru gives the pure color. Accepting that person’s hug removes all dirt. Ego, the “I,” blocks all advancement. “Chadariyā jhīnī re jhīnī, Ḍāgarī nāme citere, lālo lāl kāradī nāre.” “You have to take the color into your heart, together with jñāna, knowledge.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

An ashram is a house for spiritual work and the search for peace, open to all sincere seekers. I have known the host for decades and am privileged to be here. The simple meaning of 'ashram' is to come and work with devotion for all creatures. This center is a gift for your practice, not for the host. Our Indian culture, the cradle from which all culture comes, is being forgotten in India itself but preserved abroad by saints. We have lost our culture and become divided by religion, even within our own communities. True culture teaches that all people are equal, without duality. Yoga is a key practice. Kundalini awakening is the rise of wisdom and peace, not a physical serpent, moving through the nadis like Ida and Pingala. Practice nadi shodhana pranayama to purify these channels. Imbalanced emotions, like suppressed anger, can affect glands such as the thyroid, which yoga can help. Do not believe in sensationalized Kundalini experiences; it is a focused path. Compassion is the root of dharma. Consider the fear of a medical needle and extend that compassion to all living beings, adhering to a diet that avoids causing harm. "Ashram has many meanings, but the simple meaning is: 'ā' means come, and 'śram' means work." "Compassion is the root of Dharma." Filming location: USA

Yoga is the primordial balance from which creation arises. It existed before form, in the limitless dark of śūnyakāśa. From that void emerged the supreme resonance, Nāda-rūpa-parabrahma, the sound that is Śiva. Śiva, the self-manifested one, declared "Eko’haṁ bahu syām"—I am one, I shall multiply. Creation began from the interplay of space and consciousness, held in harmony. This harmony is yoga, the balance of our physical, mental, and subtle bodies. The sound Oṁ is the seed of all 8.4 million creatures. Human consciousness is distinct; consuming animals obstructs the path to highest awareness. True yoga requires systematic practice under a guide. The human body contains 72,000 nerve channels and energy centers, or chakras, rooted in the earth element. These centers connect our being to the foundational energies of creation. Practice begins with grounding and the correct pronunciation of sacred sounds to awaken inner balance. "Yoga is one of the first things in creation." "Therefore, our ṛṣis and munis in India, great saints, brought this principle: 'Thou shalt not kill, and not eat these dead bodies.'"

The human body is divided into four parts, as revealed in the Bhagavad Gita. The head is Brāhmaṇa, the seat of knowledge and the five sense organs. The arms are Kṣatriya, the warrior with strength to protect. The trunk is Vaiśya, the farmer distributing nourishment from intake to liver and body. The legs are Śūdra, impure from walking everywhere yet essential. Purification comes through Anuṣṭhāna, cleansing chakras and prāṇāyāma. The farmer is the greatest scientist, knowing life and harmony. Modern science often disrupts purity, tampering with milk and food. Pure nourishment like mother’s milk and organic food sustains the bodily vehicle. The body is naturally beautiful, crafted by the Divine. No caste exists among humans; such divisions are man-made errors. Animals never discriminate by color or form. The soul is pure, the heart is beautiful, regardless of skin. Nature itself shows balance, like the peacock’s display and the peahen’s wisdom. The teaching is to offer bodily purity at the lotus feet of God. One must honor all body parts and all beings without distinction. Returning to earth, we practice in a beautiful home, singing bhajans. “Cāturvarṇyaṃ mayā sṛṣṭaṃ... It is not a caste; that caste comes after we are learning.” “Do not make differences between humans. And similarly, animals too.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Our subject is Kuṇḍalinī and cakras, the science of body, mind, and soul. First, arrange your space and bring your hands together at the heart, feeling the energy flow. This energy is your own divinity. Kuṇḍalinī awakening is not a physical movement but an awakening in clarity and joy. We exist through layered bodies: the physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and the body of bliss. Major energy centers, or cakras, exist in humans and animals, connecting us to elements like earth. Regular contact with the earth purifies these energies. Self-realization means understanding the self. The soul is one, like a single powerhouse lighting many bulbs. Do not claim a permanent, egoistic self-realization; true oneness is rare and often temporary. Non-duality is the final knowledge that removes the ignorance which creates fear and separation. We must meditate on this oneness. "Kuṇḍalinī means you are awakened in your clarities, in your knowledge, in your happiness, your joy—not that something in your body is moving." "The soul is one, so your soul cannot be ill... We are all one soul." Filming location: Alexandria, USA

The fragrance of the saint and the eternal Ātmā are the same truth. All souls achieve something wonderful. Where there is life, there is leadership; where there is a saint, there is guidance. Avoid the four vices: desire, anger, pride, greed—they lead to hellish paths. Being in duality and blaming the guru makes one an offender of the divine. Increase the guru’s glory. Types of birth are womb-born, egg-born, moisture-born, yet beyond all births the Self is eternal. A single sandalwood tree fills the entire forest with its fragrance—so one great soul makes all around fragrant. Even surrounding trees become sandalwood-scented. In the burning fire of worldly existence, everything burns: mountain, forest, crow, pigeon, even sandalwood. Yet a swan settles on the burning branch, laughing without fear. The sandalwood asks why, and the swan replies, “I fly without wings; the soul cannot be touched by fire.” The soul is indestructible. Fire cannot burn it, water cannot wet it, wind cannot dry it, weapons cannot cut it. It is the witness of waking, dream, deep sleep—unmoving, immortal. Without beginning or end, it is the whole body. The guru’s word is light, shining brighter than millions of suns. “Just as a single sandalwood tree, though small, fills the entire forest and jungle with its fragrance, so does one great soul.” “The soul is never destroyed. Fire cannot burn it, water cannot wet it, wind cannot dry it, weapons cannot cut it.” Filming location: Khatu, Rajasthan, India

Here is the truth of true fortune. Saints and great beings have come and gone, like Kabīr Sāhib placing a foot on a disciple’s head to remind of mortality. Their words instruct the mind on right action. A fortunate person is one who experiences the saint’s darśan and satsaṅg. There is one great fortunate person among many. Worldly life is filled with evil; give it the name Rāma. True wealth is the jewel of the Name, the inexhaustible wealth of the mind. Material possessions are impermanent like water. Happiness and sorrow are entirely self-created. The mind mistakes comforts for happiness, but a mahāpuruṣa knows real happiness lies beyond. Three karmas bind beings: pralabdh, sanchit, and kriyamāṇ. Subh and asubh karmas must be understood; asubh karma is removed by wisdom. The Sadguru is compared to a lotus and a bumblebee. The bumblebee takes the lotus fragrance and becomes absorbed, never leaving. Without the guru, none can cross the ocean of existence. Wisdom comes from Gurujī. Glorify Sadgurūjī, for through him one attains liberation. "Gurūṁsa binā kaun pare mujal pāve?" "In the darśan of Gurudevjī, I have obtained the jewel of the Name, the wealth."

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Alexandria, USA. First, you should know that you want to practice yoga and what yoga is. Yoga needs discipline. You should prepare yourself for yoga practicing. We shouldn't do anything against nature. Chakras give different sounds/mantras in different parts of the body. If you want to see God, see God in your family and friends. Brain strokes and heart attacks happen through the nerve system. Pranayam purifies this system. Don't use artificial things on your body. The subtle body is going with us after death. OM is in the consciousness of all Creation. The sun resonates with the sound of AUM. Our skin gives us all information about the whole universe. God is everywhere.

Meditation requires physical comfort and awareness of innate energy. Discomfort breaks concentration; the body must be relaxed. A straight, supported spine is essential. A firm cushion under the buttocks aids this. The body's energy flows are accessible through the hands. Touching the index finger and thumb reduces tension via the nerve systems. Gently moving a finger over the palm generates a ball of sensation. Rubbing the palms together creates palpable heat. These energies connect to the cakras and kuṇḍalinī. The thumb and index finger symbolize the cosmic and individual soul uniting. The three remaining fingers represent the energetic qualities of activity, purity, and inertia. Laziness is the primary obstacle. Meditation turns awareness inward to the Self. All peace and happiness exist within. "First, our body should be very comfortable. Sukham Āsanas: our posture should be very comfortable." "It is your energy. It is your body. It is yours. I just give you the point of what is sensitive and good."

Life is eternal, and the science of chakras reveals our fundamental oneness. Life is endless. The physical body is a temporary layer, like a garment changed, but the life within does not die. The true self is layered like an onion; peeling back the layers reveals the essential Ātmā. All existence is one, like countless drops from a single ocean. These drops—steam, fog, rain, rivers—ultimately merge back into the oceanic source. Our perceived separation is an illusion. The process of realizing this unity is yoga: the eternal harmony, balance, and union between consciousness and space. All beings share this one life. Impurities of thought create bondage, so purification is essential to merge into the immortal ocean within. Chakras are centers mapping this journey from individuality to oneness. "Life is ever life. Death is ever death. So we are life, and we will always be life." "Yoga means union. Yoga means union. There are only two. Yoga. And so there is between this, so that means that yoga is eternal."

We have lost our roots and connection to place, family, and nature, which drains our energy. Modern life severs us from our homes and ancestral lands. Commercial destruction, like replacing rainforests with water-consuming eucalyptus, kills creatures and disrupts natural harmony. Animals, from monkeys to ants, demonstrate innate familial love and greeting rituals that humans often lack. We live on the surface, protected by fear, making humans the most dangerous creature. To heal, we must reconnect with the earth and our own energy. The body contains energy centers, or cakras, with life force flowing regardless of physical alterations. The Mūlādhāra Cakra at the spine's base is the root. Practice earthing: walk barefoot on sand or earth to draw energy and warmth into your soles. Touch trees to receive their energy. The solar plexus, or navel center, is vital; its disruption is linked to severe illness. Faith in oneself, nature, and practice is essential. Chakras symbolize inner struggles, like the crocodile representing negative passions that pull us down. Overcoming them requires willpower and connection to the divine. Practice is everything; techniques like rubbing palms or specific mantras activate energy. We must move from darkness to light. "Every monkey comes, the youngest one, goes and hugs and gives a kiss." "Energy will be as long as our soul is in our body."

The light itself is Brahman, the single reality within all. From one heart to another, ignite this awareness. Every entity is a light of that supreme one; duality is an illusion. Self-realization means the absence of negative thoughts, habits, and duality, aligning with the perpetual divine incarnation present in all. Sanātana Dharma is the original, singular dharma for all beings, not a constructed religion. Later religions developed in the Kali Yuga. True religion is realizing the relation between the individual soul and the supreme soul. The divine essence, like fire, exists within every cell and element. Support the weak, for societal preference favors the strong. Do not call any divine manifestation semi; God is one. This festival symbolizes light, prosperity, and oneness, not pollution and waste. Human technological advancement is high, but spiritual understanding is often low. Do not criticize other religions; convince through understanding, not conversion. All elements and the body return to their sources; only the soul ascends. "From light, awaken light; whomever you meet on the path, ignite them." "Realize your relation to thy Ātmā. That is called the religion." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Guru lineage and sacred geography connect us to a timeless tradition. The company of saints and the story of God are unique in this world, unlike worldly attainments which even a sinful person can obtain. The soul is immortal and maintains connections across time. This lineage flows from Satyug, from sages like Alak Purī, linked to the Alaknandā river and the Himalayas. The Vedas were transcribed by Gaṇeśa for Vyāsa. True fortune is not found in wealth, marriage, or children, for those still bring sorrow. Real fortune is the darśana of saints, which removes life's sorrows. This world is a form of sorrow; happiness is found only in connection to the divine. The establishment of this sacred site is a miracle, drawing the world to a once-unknown village. "The company of saints and the story of God—these two things are unique in the world." "If you want to buy sweets, do you go to the cloth shop? You want happiness, and you go to buy from the shop of sorrow. How will you get it?" Filming location: Khatu, Rajasthan, India

The awakening of inner potential is the aim of human life, achieved through a pure spiritual science. This path awakens the cosmic energy within, known as the Kuṇḍalinī, which resides in the body's energy centers, the chakras. Of the thousands of chakras, eight are primary, with five governing earthly existence and three for spiritual development. This energy must be purified and directed upward. Practice through yoga, prāṇāyāma, and meditation is essential, but the guidance of a true spiritual master from an authentic lineage is paramount. Without a qualified master, practice can be harmful, as seen in modern corruptions like wine yoga. The process involves purifying the 72,000 nerve systems and mastering the three states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Our individual souls, clouded by desires, are ultimately one, like water in different forms, and must be purified to realize our supreme nature. "Through the practice of yoga, prāṇāyāma, meditation, kriyā, and repetition of mantra, we can influence and harmonize the chakras in our body. However, the guidance of a spiritual master is essential on this path." "Our soul is one soul. My soul and your soul and every soul, is one. Like what? Like an ocean."

Our spiritual lineage originates from the Himalayas and the glaciers of Ālagpurījī. This lineage descends from the Satyuga through masters like Devapurījī and Mahāprabhujī. The poet Kālidāsa wrote the Meghadūta, describing telepathic communication, reflecting ancient siddhis now mirrored by modern science. Scriptures tell of the sage Vālmīki, who wrote the Rāmāyaṇa knowing past, present, and future. Stories from the region describe Kubera's treasury and the curse upon his attendant Dakṣa. The Alaknandā River is named for the goddess Nandā Devī, who wished to unite her name with her master, Ālakpurījī. This river merges with the Bhāgīrathī at Devaprayāg to form the Gaṅgā. Our roots are in these places. The human system contains chakras, which are centers of energy and consciousness. The lower chakras relate to earthly and animal qualities, while the higher chakras connect to divine awareness. One must purify and balance these energies, integrating intellect with heart. The ultimate aim is yoga—the merging of dualities like sun and moon into oneness. "From the glaciers of the Himalaya... there are the holy feet of the Ālakpurījīs." "Within you is the ocean of joy."

The light of the Supreme Self illuminates all. The Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna is a practice from the tradition involving 64 kriyās. All action is kriyā. The human instrument possesses five senses of knowledge and five of action. These senses provide information from the world. Every element, including plants and water, possesses life and awareness. The body is a composite of many living cells and the five elemental sheaths. The conscious self is felt within the heart center. The individual soul, or Jīvātmā, resides within yet is distinct from these layers. One is not a singular entity but a collective of countless lives. The soul is like a queen bee; if it departs, the entire hive is abandoned. All beings are individual yet part of a unified whole, like drops from one ocean. The practice involves silence, minimal nourishment, and meditation to turn awareness inward. Do not harm any life. Attaining supreme knowledge while living risks ego. True union occurs near life's end. Therefore, practice diligently without haste or force. "One is not a singular entity but a collective of countless lives." "All beings are individual yet part of a unified whole, like drops from one ocean." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Welcome to the ashram, a place for spiritual practice and international community. This castle ashram, donated by a devotee, is a historic site with a beautiful atmosphere. Practitioners from across the world gather here with the shared aim of Yoga in Daily Life, for the harmony of body, mind, and soul. This system is a complete human science, not merely physical exercise. Personal experimentation with practices and diet is a foundational principle, just as a mother tests food before feeding her child. The human life is precious, and the divine is immanent within all creatures. True practice extends beyond the mat to encompass daily life, listening, and helping others. The ultimate reality is one, known by different names. "Yoga in Daily Life is not only these two or three exercises." "Each and every cell of our body is very precious."

Trāṭak is concentration through gazing. Tilak is a mark of spiritual balance and wisdom. Trāṭak involves fixing the gaze on a single point, such as a candle flame, a dot, or the new moon. This practice develops concentration and inner clarity. Gazing directly at the sun should be brief to avoid harm. The true inner light is not a visual phenomenon but the light of wisdom at the Ājñā Chakra. Applying a Tilak at this point symbolizes this wisdom. The Tilak, made from substances like sandalwood paste or ash, helps balance the body's energy channels. It is a spiritual practice, not merely a religious ritual. This balance is part of the eternal natural order. Without discipline and a qualified guide, forceful practice can be dangerous. The power of focused gaze is real, but it must be used with purity and care. "Trāṭak means we gaze on one object." "Tilak is very, very important and very spiritual."

The practice of Oṃ connects to the four Yugas and channels energy through the body's centers. Energy recedes in the present age, so we must cultivate positivity. Techniques exist to direct blessings and prāṇa for healing, as seen when a hand placed on the navel released pain and brought health for years. Disturbances in places may be cleared through specific rituals and grace. The lines on one's foot soles indicate fortune and energy; inviting a master into the home invites blessing. Holy water carries transformative power. True shelter comes when a master places a hand on the head, dispelling negativity. The navel is the nest of life and a crucial point for the prāṇa's departure. Observe the lines on your feet and palms, for they reflect your nature. "Place your hand on the nābhi, and for ten minutes or half an hour, on the maṇipūra, hand, right palm, and then the second palm, and relax." "The master puts on your forehead or on your head, and the disciple from the toes."

Yoga reveals the hidden powers within through five sheaths of human existence. The first is the physical body of nourishment, which is foundational. The second is the vital energy sheath, fueled by proper sustenance and diminished by substances like alcohol. The third is the mental sheath, possessing immense speed and reach. The fourth is the sheath of intellect and wisdom. The fifth is the sheath of bliss. These layers contain the soul, and all life is interconnected. Physical and psychic tensions, often stored in areas like the thyroid or navel, cause disease. The body operates on vibrational resonance, exemplified by sacred sounds. Daily yogic practice releases tension, awakens inner energy, and sustains health and unity. "The body is not everything, but everything is nothing without the body." "One in all and all in one."

The Mahā Mṛtyu Jaya Mantra offers protection and inner purification. Chant the mantra mentally or aloud while driving for divine safeguarding. This mantra cleanses the mind and heart, akin to washing plates. Proper dress and cleanliness demonstrate respect toward others. Beauty resides in the heart, eyes, and mouth. Men should have beards and protruding stomachs for proper appearance. Humans cause Mahāpralaya through deforestation. Mining for coal, gold, and silver creates empty spaces in the earth. Oil extraction and water injection increase these voids. Destroying mountains for marble and cement disrupts earth's balance. Building billions of roads pollutes and kills the earth. Slaughtering animals generates sin leading to downfall. Pesticides poison humans, causing diseases. Constructing dams blocks natural water flow, preventing ocean replenishment. Removing dams and allowing free water flow restores balance. Spiritual practitioners will ascend to higher realms before Mahāpralaya. "When you feel unhappy, or a little bit of some problems, or you feel that somebody is against you, or you go to an examination... chant this Mahā Mṛtyu Jaya Mantra." "Humans will be the cause of Mahāpralaya again. But he said in this bhajana, those who are spiritual, they need sādhanā. Before the Mahāpralaya comes, they will go to the Svargalokas or Brahmalokas."

The wisdom of Patañjali provides the foundation for Haṭha Yoga. Patañjali systematized yoga, teaching Aṣṭāṅga Yoga to make the path simple. His core principle is "Ahiṃsā paramodharma," meaning non-violence is the highest duty. The ṛṣis of ancient times performed tapasyā in the forest, free from worldly entanglement, establishing the various yogic paths. Patañjali’s text is essential evidence for all seekers. The primary practice begins with the body, ensuring it is healthy. The fundamental work, however, concerns one's mental impressions, or vṛttis. Negative vṛttis, arising from bad association, separate one from the spiritual path and lead to self-destruction, regardless of external practice. Positive vṛttis naturally elevate consciousness. One must vigilantly guard against negative thoughts, especially towards the guru, as they create a fatal crack in one's spiritual foundation. The energy of a true ṛṣi creates harmony, where all beings coexist peacefully. The practice of Haṭha Yoga, including techniques like Nauli, supports physical health and mastery. "Negative vṛttis, arising from bad association, separate one from the spiritual path and lead to self-destruction." "Ahiṃsā paramodharma. The highest religion is non-violence."

Agni is not only the burning fire but many kinds of fire, central to awakening the solar plexus. The cooking fire is Annapūrṇā, the goddess of nourishment. The kitchen is her temple. Purity in the kitchen brings pure thoughts, energy, and behavior. Food should not be eaten after four hours, or overnight even if refrigerated—it is dead nourishment. Do not blow on the cooking fire with the mouth. Offer the first food to a cow, second to a dog, third to child or husband. The bodily fire sustains life and growth. Without fire, the body dies. The ritual fire of Yajña purifies and brings harmony. The cremation fire purifies the soul. Only Agni can do this. The forest fire demands mercy, not control by guns. Anger is a fire—jealousy, hate burn inside. Cold can burn as a fire, scorching leaves. Fire also exists in water. The yogī controls this fire at the navel through Agnisāra Kriyā. This one-minute practice purifies and awakens the solar plexus. Most diseases arise from inactive digestive fire. The body is a temple. All elements demand respect. "The kitchen is the temple of Mother Annapūrṇā. Keep it pure and your thoughts, energy, and behavior become pure." "Our body is our mother, our god. Without fire we cannot live."

The practice of Śaṅkhaprakṣālana requires proper guidance. This Haṭha Yoga technique cleanses the internal system, mimicking the conch's shape and the elephant's action of Kuñjalakriyā. Mastery is essential, as incorrect practice from mere imitation can cause harm. Not everyone is suitable; those with ulcers, recent surgeries, pregnancy, epilepsy, low blood pressure, or bleeding hemorrhoids must avoid it. Practice ideally occurs in groups under supervision to ensure thoroughness. True teaching requires formal certification from a recognized institution like Yoga in Daily Life, not just personal practice. This system encompasses more than postures and breathing; it is a complete education for the soul. Maintain connection to your roots and live harmoniously. "Those who merely imitate yoga—watching someone on television, reading a book, or just observing—have good theory but not practice." "Yoga in Daily Life is not only āsanas and prāṇāyāmas...

Haṭha Yoga is the inner purification of the body through natural wisdom and technique. Astrological predictions are secondary to life's inherent function. Humans support each other, as in older communities where goods and services were shared. Modern systems of employment and commerce continue this interdependence. Nature provides all necessary remedies, such as salt for health and cow urine for healing. Āyurveda is the vast treasure of medicinal plants and elements surrounding us. Haṭha Yoga practices like neti cleanse the nasal passages with precise salt water. Kunjal kriyā is learned from the elephant's action of drawing and expelling water. Sūtra dhauti involves swallowing a cloth for internal cleansing. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana purifies the intestines with warm salt water, mimicking the conch's spiral. All these techniques originate from observing nature, as humans are part of nature. Use what God has provided, but within limits. "The train will go according to the schedule, function, or time. Is it a good constellation or a bad constellation? The train will go." "Better to die, but with the salt." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Haṭha Yoga is a living path encompassing the body's subtle energies and the soul's journey. The human body contains the entire Sanskrit alphabet as divine letters within its chakras. These fifty-two centers are part of Kuṇḍalinī Yoga, connecting the five sheaths from the physical to the blissful. Every element of creation contains the divine, present equally in all beings from an elephant to an ant. The soul, or jīva, undergoes a process of descent into the five elements, taking form according to destiny. This cycle includes all experiences of life, disability, and death, which are part of a soul's allotted time. Understanding this embodied journey is the essence of Haṭha Yoga. The divine is both formless, Nirakār, and with form, Sākār. A living tradition requires a living guide who can provide answers, as a formless principle cannot. Other paths may lack this continuous living presence. The Guru embodies the divine principle completely. The practice involves cleansing techniques like Neti to purify the body and balance its energies, leading to direct experience.

Haṭha Yoga is a path of determined will leading to divine union beyond the physical body. It begins with worldly forms of willfulness: a child's insistence, a woman's resolve, and a ruler's command. The yogi's will, however, transcends desire and fear, seeking nothing, as illustrated by a yogi who refused Lord Śiva's offer. True Haṭha Yoga involves purifying the body through six techniques and awakening subtle energy. This energy moves through major chakras, culminating in the Ājñā Cakra where the mantras "Ha" and "Tha" unite, symbolizing the yoga of sun and moon. This practice leads consciousness beyond worldly attachments, which are as temporary as the juice of a cherry. "He said, 'If you want to give me, then I give you this. Just remove away, go away. I don't need you, so please go.'" "‘Ha’ and ‘Tha’ become Haṭha. ‘Oṁ’ is yoga. So, Haṭha becomes Haṭha Yoga." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

True wisdom arises from two sources: scriptural study and the Guru's grace. Ancient sages left immense knowledge in scriptures, yet this wisdom often remains unread. External learning from texts is one path; internal awakening through the Guru's Vidyā is the other. Both are essential. Reading nourishes the mind and preserves memory, preventing one from falling into detrimental habits. The lineage of masters transmits blessings not through promises but through silent grace, like a natural inheritance. Just as water must flow to stay pure, our spiritual practice must be directed rightly. Parents bear the responsibility to guide their family's spiritual flow. Modern misunderstandings, like reducing Haṭha Yoga to mere postures, obstruct deeper progress. One must begin with proper foundations to advance. "Guru Brahmā, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Parabrahma, Tasmai Śrī Gurave Namaḥ." "Dhyāna Mūlaṁ Guru Mūrti, Pūjā Mūlaṁ Guru Pādam, Mantra Mūlaṁ Guru Vākya, Mokṣa Mūlaṁ Guru Kṛpā."

Discipline is the foundation of genuine yoga practice. Without it, even decades of practice lead nowhere. The world offers two paths: the rare life of total renunciation and the integrated life of a householder. The latter is recommended, where one lives fully in the world while maintaining spiritual discipline. Do not chase miracles or external validations; reality is found within. Practice requires purifying the mind's fluctuations. Many attend gatherings but lack focus, indulging in chatter and breaking dietary discipline, which wastes food and energy. True practice demands sustained commitment, not short courses seeking certificates. Integrate silence and focus into daily life. "Yogaḥ cittavṛtti nirodhaḥ."

Spirituality is one path, realized within as Brahmaloka. The retreat offers purification of body, mind, and philosophy. Spirituality is not only for yogis but for everyone from childhood. God may be perceived with form or without, yet both are valid. The Bhagavad Gītā says both serve, but a form allows interaction. Though divinity dwells within, beings search externally. Life is a cycle of birth, growth, and return to space. Seeking Brahmaloka as a distant realm is misunderstanding; it is the knowledge within the cakras. The foundation is Mūlādhāra—do not lose it. Conquer anger, hate, jealousy to avoid animal nature. Humans alone lack natural flight, but received intelligence to understand life. Do not kill creatures for food; sāttvic nourishment brings health and longevity. Enjoy human life on Mother Earth with loved ones. Yoga in Daily Life provides the complete system of āsana, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Through bhajans and techniques, all become one. The path leads to inner joy, not emptiness. "In both there is that Brahman, that God, but you still do not understand." "Brahmaloka means our knowledge, our philosophy, which gives us something more than knowledge."

Respect the five elements, for they constitute life and must be carefully guarded. Water is life itself; even skilled swimmers can be overcome by it. Fire is equally dangerous and demands vigilance. These elements form the physical body, the Annamaya Kośa, which ultimately dissolves back into earth, water, fire, air, and space. True spiritual progress requires mastering these elements within. The mother's power is fundamental and endless, like the sky. The strength of the Annamaya Kośa originates from the mother's nourishment, beginning in the womb. All beings, human and animal, deserve protection, especially mothers who selflessly guard their young. The subsequent Prāṇamaya Kośa is the vital energy that sustains this life, given wholly by the parents. True renunciation, or vairāgya, is not an emotional reaction to difficulty or loss. It is a steadfast inner detachment. Sannyāsa taken from mere frustration is false and leads to suffering. Authentic renunciation requires genuine tapasyā, or disciplined austerity, not a desire for comfort. Realization comes from humbly integrating all aspects of life, not from escaping them. "Water is life, and life is water. Where there is water, there is God." "If you want to see my power, my rays into the sky, then first lift it to the sky."

A yoga teacher in the Yoga in Daily Life system carries a profound responsibility distinct from physical fitness instruction. The role is to be a selfless channel for spiritual guidance, not a proprietor of knowledge. Adherence to the specific, gradual levels of the system is essential for safe and effective teaching; one must not alter exercises or mix in other teachings. The teacher's position requires maintaining a respectful boundary with students, avoiding social outings, and preserving the class's sacred energy by limiting post-session talk. Instruction must continue with devotion even if only one student attends. Teachers must sustain their own practice through satsang and connection to the lineage, as teaching is an act of seva—complete surrender to serving the paramparā. The knowledge received is complete, requiring no supplementation. "Be like a tree. Give shade to whoever comes. Give fruit to whoever comes." "The teacher stays in the class for a maximum of five minutes after the yoga class." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Bhajans are a vital spiritual practice that transforms energy and preserves knowledge. They are distinct from emotional kirtan, often structured as a dialogue containing the wisdom of sages. Poetry is the language of the wise, encapsulating truth. Singing activates the vagus nerve and requires an open heart center. Bhajans teach effectively because they engage curiosity, making knowledge memorable and transmissible across generations. They change one's state, connecting the singer to the composer's energy through synchronized brain waves. They serve as prayer, meditation, and sādhanā, exerting influence whether the meaning is understood or not. This practice is a cornerstone of the tradition. "Within the bhajans are the original words of great sages." "Bhajans are your sādhanā. Bhajans are your satsaṅg and your meditation." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Today is a day of grace and celebration, marking a confluence of sacred occasions. Being with the Guru is the most important thing for a disciple. His presence on this earth opened our eyes to divine knowledge. In his presence, we change our quality, like a tree near sandalwood takes on its fragrance. It is difficult to bring people together, but just as bees gather around their queen, we are drawn to the light of the Guru. That light incarnated on this day. Today is also the festival of Rakṣā Bandhan, an ancient celebration with many explanations. One tells that through grace, a sister was created for Gaṇeśa's sons. This day allows us to form bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood through love, a connection more profound than blood. We are grateful for the Guru's physical presence. The day includes the full moon, which completes a month dedicated to Shiva. The moon governs the mind and emotions, influencing life like the rains. Rakṣā Bandhan celebrates the sacred bond between brothers and sisters. Humans create festivals and worship; without purposeful events, idleness leads to conflict. Many spiritual days converge now. "Like a tree in the presence of sandalwood changes its smell and takes on the sandal fragrance." "This is something very important for humanity: that everybody is brother and sister together."

Glory is an expression of respect and victory for all that is good, returning to the giver. It is simple and great. Proclaiming "Jaya" honors masters and divinity, creating happiness. This respect transcends time, as seen with figures from millennia past. Giving glory uplifts others, as a kind word can save a soul from despair. It reflects a merciful heart, like a mother's compassion. This practice aligns one with yoga. Glory ultimately extends to all humanity and creation, recognizing the divine intelligence in all life. Our being has five sheaths, from the physical to the blissful. Purifying the physical body through right nourishment supports vital energy, mind, wisdom, and joy. "Glory means 'long live,' not only physically but forever." "Give glory to someone, it comes back to you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path to consciousness unfolds through the inner kingdom. A man sought Kuṇḍalinī awakening. A master gave him a flute. He blew it continuously for half an hour. A cobra emerged from a bush. He coaxed the snake into a basket. He planned to display his awakened Kuṇḍalinī. Resting under a banyan tree, a monkey stole the basket. The monkey opened it, saw the king cobra, and became paralyzed with fear. The master felt sorry for the monkey. This story warns against chasing such experiences. Another man searched for the wish-fulfilling Kalpavṛkṣa tree. Sitting beneath it, he wished for water, food, a bed, a net, and his wife. Each appeared. Then he feared a ghost, and a ghost materialized. Greed leads to loss. True Kuṇḍalinī is energy, knowledge, light connecting to the cosmic. Rest and meditate instead of forcing practices. "Kuṇḍalinī is your energy, your knowledge, many good things. It is your light connecting to the cosmic." "Don’t run behind such things." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The sacred texts reveal the inner battlefield, where the soul confronts its own qualities, and a true guide is needed for symbolic understanding. All scriptures—Vedas, Upaniṣads, Gītā, Koran, Bible—offer essential knowledge. A grand gathering of saints and scholars from many faiths honored a renunciate Śaṅkarācārya; there, a Muslim scholar expounded the Vedas with profound insight, showing that wisdom crosses boundaries. The Bhagavad Gītā’s first scene symbolizes Ātmācintan meditation: Kurukṣetra is the field of one’s life, the Pāṇḍavas are good qualities, the Kauravas negative ones. Arjuna’s despair mirrors the soul’s resistance to fighting its own vices. Violent passages, like the Bible’s command to slay all, must be read symbolically—sparing a small flaw allows it to resurge and ruin the self. All knowledge is useful; witnessing others’ errors teaches what to avoid. Holding any path as supreme makes one fragile, like a bursting water bubble. One must absorb the good from all traditions and peacefully ignore the rest. A realized guide is indispensable to unlock scripture’s deeper meaning. Through satsaṅg, darśan, and meditation, study becomes living wisdom. The mantra “Nāhaṁ Kartā Prabhudīp Kartā” affirms the Divine as the sole doer, severing karmic bonds. Even poison can serve as medicine in skillful hands. The ultimate way is to dwell in purity between all opposites. “Knowledge is always good. Even bad knowledge is good. If someone does bad things and you come to know of it, you learn that you will not do that.” “We should take the good things, and simply neglect the rest, or live peacefully.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The longing of the heart is known only to those in love. Two parrots quarreled on a tree. The male said, “Meditate on God's glory, do not eat poisonous fruits of passion.” Death strikes without warning. These enjoyments are Fata Morgana, unreachable. The joy of joy is less than its sorrow. Keep the world behind, face reality. Satsang is the tree of immortality, giving immortal fruits. The female replied, “Repeat Soham mantra—it costs nothing. Death is a cat that will chew your skin.” The mind is the sutra, body the cave, atma the soul. Realize immortal peace through Guru's grace. Rise early, do sadhana, do not be lazy. The knees, ears, eyes, and tongue all rebel: they were misused for useless places and gossip. The garden of the world dries up. This human life is rare. Where a saint, yogi, or guru is, there is pilgrimage and happiness. “Satsaṅg is the tree of immortality.” “The joy of the joy is less than the sorrow of the joy.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Relaxation, the five kośas, and the king of the senses. Lie down, relax the whole body. Relax the thoughts, let them be free. Feel fresh oxygen and the beauty of trees. Feel as if in the lap of parents and with friends. Close eyes and see the vision in the park. Move and sit up. Look around in nature for five minutes. Remember your five elements: the kośas. Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, Vigyanamaya, Kṛiyānmaya, Ānandamaya. Chant Om eleven times with four letters, focusing on Nabi, Anāhat, Vakalkot, saṃsāra chakra. Feel oneness with the Supreme. Children, you are the king of your senses. The body is a kingdom, the ātmā is the king. The indriyas are citizens; do not be their slave. If the ātmā leaves, all is finished. Through devotion, the Guru's thread holds the pearls together. "Feel as if you are in the lap of your parents, with your friends." "Man indriya terī prajā, tū nā kar inki gulāmī."

The heart of Hanumān is the eternal Sanātana Dharma. The physical body is one sheath. Beyond it lies energy, mind, and bliss. Pure beings experience the lotus of the heart opening. Negative thinking causes that flower to fade. Sanātana Dharma is duty and love for all—humans, animals, forests, rivers. Rāma entrusted Hanumān to protect all beings. Hanumān asked Rāma to stay with him. Rāma promised to dwell in Hanumān’s heart forever. Hanumān’s every hair resonates with Rāma’s name. People doubted and asked where Rāma and Sītā were. Hanumān tore his chest open. Inside, Rāma and Sītā were visible. Negative talk creates suffering. All negativity falls back on the speaker. After death, the soul passes through its own created torture. Speak no negativity. Place forgiveness in the heart. “O Hanumān, I and Sītā will dwell in your heart forever and ever.” “Those who backbite and spread negativity are ignorant … all negative thoughts, negative talk, and negative karma fall back on you.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Attention is the discipline of life, from cradle to grave. The spine is the stick accompanying us always. From the beginning, become alert, know the whole body. When husband and wife realize who they really are, love becomes a real feeling of care and protection, not physical desire. They become one part of the heart, and the child is happy. Avoid giving many toys; give education that brings harmony. Create family time without instruments, sitting together daily. Alcohol is the biggest non-prescribed drug, yet it is offered everywhere. Animals suffer; do not kill them for meat. Cows are disciplined, but humans need discipline too. The soul, jīvātmā, comes from the One as many, like water in different bottles. Destiny guides the soul after death; no individuality remains, as a drop merges in the ocean. Within the body dwell countless bacteria, a whole kingdom. You are the king of this inner kingdom. Do not be naive; keep your kingdom under control. Let no enemy enter—illness, alcohol, bad habits. Check security through good health, satsaṅg, good words. The five elements and the entire universe are within you. This kingdom must become the divine world. “When such a love—that is not a physical love, what you are talking about—it is a real love, a feeling: ‘What can I give? How is my child?’” “You are the king of this kingdom; do not be too naive. Do not think everything is just okay. No, you are the king.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Observing daily life shows how Yoga in Daily Life transforms our existence through Gurudev’s guidance and steady practice. Gurudev always protects, and the divine mantra carries blessing, protection, and guidance. Without Gurudev’s name, prayers are empty, like a sweet box without sweets or oil poured on sand. A devotee knows Gurudev’s face, his kind smile, and thus believes in God, vowing never to leave. Real happiness is only in Gurudev’s presence; our duty is seva and keeping the body healthy. The body-mind phenomenon, with its five koshas, elements, and indriyas, is immense; one lifetime is not enough to study it. Yoga slowly brings this phenomenon toward a divine frequency, merging individual into oneness. This path demands heroism and endurance, which develops gradually, not overnight. The inner voice tells the mind: go slowly, slowly, because the path is narrow and dark. Many rivers, temptations with sweet melodies, and pleasant smells arise to distract and cause loss. Only with a guide who binds you, who has traveled the path, can you safely proceed. Practice small, minute sadhana called Anu Upasana, integrating it into daily life. Like a mosaic, place stone by stone, and suddenly the picture completes through steady effort. Kapālabhāti is a haṭha yoga kriyā that purifies the whole body and awakens the brain. It is performed by inhaling through the mouth and exhaling shortly and strongly through the nose. This practice subtly massages the brain, increases consciousness, and releases stress and tension. It should be done in temperate air, not with a blocked nose or cold, in three rounds of ten breaths. Sit straight in a pose like Vajrāsana, and proceed slowly under a teacher’s guidance. "The real happiness, my Gurudev, is only in Thy presence." "My friend, my dear brother, take your time; go slowly, slowly, do not hurry. You will reach your aim."

The secret of your Ātmā is shown by the Master. The āśram lives only with bhaktas. Karma Yoga is the best group; without it, the yoga path cannot succeed. The mind jumps like a monkey, and the conscience says: give up self-will. The secret of the Ātmā is caged inside the body of five elements. The Guru shows it, and then real happiness, not the fleeting kind, arises from within. Go always to the Master, remain as near as possible, in his radiance, and he guides. Meditate on the Guru and fear nothing; no relative can give self-realization. To withdraw within and calm worldly thoughts takes time and peace. The yogīs meditate on this inner divine self. Through daily prayer, protect the bond with the Master. A worm in a lotus, placed by a bird, was lifted to the altar; so the Guru cares for each bhakta. The Guru makes bhaktas independent and free, jīvan mukta, without selfish interest. A real human is one with Guru Bhakti—not easy to obtain, but once found, protection is certain. Even great beings serve the Guru. The secret is caved in the body, revealed by the Guru’s grace. The strongest shelter is near the Guru. “Come with me, and I will show you the secret of your Ātmā. You will be very, very happy.” “Go always to your master. Try to be as near to him as possible. Try to be as much as possible in his radiance, and he will guide you.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

This gathering celebrates forty years of Yoga in Daily Life in Hungary, alongside anniversaries of Indian-Hungarian diplomacy and Mahatma Gandhi's birth. The conference promotes world peace through tolerance, respect, and understanding between cultures. The system's dissemination has fostered public health and spiritual well-being in Hungary over decades, with seminars making the country a second home for many practitioners. The authentic system begins with physical exercises but emphasizes that peace requires a complete healthy life—social, mental, and spiritual—including meditation, prayer, and a vegetarian lifestyle. Peace must first be achieved inwardly before it can be carried outward. The teachings of the spiritual lineage, from the Himalayan masters to the present, provide the foundation for this work. The close cooperation with the Indian Embassy over forty years has been instrumental in this journey. "The more wisdom you possess, the more humble becomes your mind. The more understanding you develop, the more helpful become your actions." "Yoga is like the rising sun in Hungary, and the future of yoga will soon be the sun at its zenith."

This gathering celebrates anniversaries of spiritual work, diplomatic ties, and the enduring legacy of Mahatma Gandhi. The event honors forty years of a yoga system's presence, seventy years of diplomatic relations, and the 150th birth anniversary of Gandhi. His philosophy of non-violence, or Ahimsa, is presented as a core, timeless virtue, not a mere policy. It is described as a universal vow requiring endurance and bravery, developing heart, mind, and soul. His teachings on education emphasize drawing out the best in body, mind, and spirit, linking learning with creative work and social responsibility. The seven social sins he identified—such as commerce without morality and science without humanity—are cited as root causes of modern global problems. The practice of yoga is promoted as a daily science for health, peace, and achieving higher consciousness, integral to individual and societal transformation. "By education I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in child and man—body, mind and spirit." "Ahimsa is a universal vow, a Mahavrata. If you practice Ahimsa, you must put up with insults, criticisms, and assaults without retaliation." Filming location: Gyor, Hungary

The nature of healing contrasts natural vitality with chemical intervention. The body is natural, while chemical medicines, though derived from earth, have altered qualities that mostly make it ill. They are vital for emergencies, yet their prolonged use destroys organs. Āyurveda is life, as body and system are both nature, but its efficacy has waned as society abandoned natural wisdom for chemicals. From birth, chemical adaptation begins. True health requires rejecting chemicals for natural substances and practices. The core practice is prāṇāyāma to purify the body and awaken energy. Kuṇḍalinī and the cakras represent this spiritual consciousness, with each cakra's petals holding specific energies for achievement. One must study this deeply and practice consistently without changing the path. "Chemical medicine can save our life or slowly kill us." "Āyurveda is life. The body accepts Āyurveda because Āyurveda is nature, and the body is nature." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The power of mantra and the subtle body is revealed through sound and internal energy. Chanting mantra affects body, mind, and soul. The essence is universal despite language. Concentration on the chakras brings strength, knowledge, and balance. The body is a balloon of energy containing thousands of chakras. Every cell and the universe itself is round. This form reflects divine design, as seen in unique fingerprints. Each fingertip contains distinct chakras visible under magnification. Gentle self-touch activates this energy flow powerfully. This personal touch releases tension and channels vitality more effectively than external contact. Energy centers exist throughout the entire body, including palms and soles. Awakening this internal energy is crucial. Formal education often destroys nature, unlike innate spiritual wisdom. "Look, God has done just one print on the thumb, and no one can make the duplicate." "This gentle touch is a thousand times more intensive than just like this, because each chakra in the body is where we are concentrating and coming; the energy is flowing there."

The human science of Kuṇḍalinī and Cakras is the path to achieving Brahmaloka. This attainment requires practice and concentration, much like earning a diploma. The practitioner's journey is supported by the master's blessing and by devoted prayer, which connects one to the divine lineage. The human being is composed of the jīva dwelling within the body, which is the principle of the five elements. These elements are the five sheaths or dresses—Annamaya, Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, Vijñānamaya, and Ānandamaya—that must be purified. Life is a workshop of purification for these layers, including the physical body, the vital energy or prāṇa, the mind, and the intellect. Imbalance in the energy body, related to the Cakras, leads to disharmony. Through disciplined sādhanā, prayer, and meditation, one purifies all sheaths. The ultimate aim is to balance all aspects so the inner master awakens. Prayer is universal and essential across all religions, as the human heart inherently depends on a higher power. "These five kośas, five dresses, which God has given us, are within our body." "Prayer is very, very important. Very, very important, prayer."

The Gāyatrī Mantra is a Vedic practice for peace and balanced memory, not a sect. Research on the Vedas explores mantras and their effects. Chanting at sunrise connects one to solar energy. Traditional practices, like girls praying to sacred trees for harmonious marriage, stem from unity, not superficial beauty. Marriage was a familial and societal alignment. Life is sustained by prāṇa, the vital energy in all beings, which constitutes the prāṇamaya kośa. This energy is life itself; its departure is death. All creatures possess this prāṇa and chakras. One should not kill while prāṇa remains. Consciousness persists after the body, necessitating prayers for ancestors. These are not fairy tales but realities of the subtle body. "If you chant the Gāyatrī Mantra for five minutes, it will give you immense peace and your memory will be balanced." "Prāṇa means life, and Prāṇa is God. So that energy we call God."
