Fasting is an auspicious practice for inner purification and spiritual development. Distractions disturb inner peace, but how one sees creates the world. Many traditions observe fasting, such as the Islamic Roja, a strict fast honoring the moon, a symbol of Śiva. Fasting purifies the negative radiations humans emit, which frighten animals, as violence emanates from human life. Much negative energy comes through food; sāttvic food brings purity. Eating meat involves great violence, as creatures suffer immensely. Humans should have mercy and survive on grains and fruits. The tradition was established by ṛṣis for bodily purification. Excess, undigested food causes disease; fasting allows the body to consume excess fat and strengthens the digestive fire. Fasting cultivates discipline, saves resources, and benefits all creatures by reducing demand. Spiritually, fasting and meditation make one aware of desires, or vāsanās, which are the cause of all troubles. One must have the power to say no to dependencies. On a fast, consume only water; do not replace it with nourishment like milk or juice. Prepare the evening meal as a loving offering to God, as a mother does for her child. The offering, the eater, and the digestion are all Brahman. This practice brings health, discipline, and inner peace. "A mother gives birth to a small child. When the child is about eight or nine months old and wants solid food, with how much love does the mother prepare something for the baby? That's it. Similarly, you should prepare food for God like a mother does for her child." "Brahmārpaṇaṁ—I offer to the Brahman. Whose offering is Brahman, who will eat is Brahman, and who will digest is Brahman. That becomes prasāda, and your fasting will be successful." Filming location: Fiji Islands

We face threefold afflictions: physical, divine, and spiritual. Our actions create pollution that returns to us. We owe debts to parents, ancestors, and the elements—fire, water, air, earth, and space—which sustain life. Mental pollution from greed is most dangerous. Problems follow the soul; you cannot run from them. Good karma is the only painkiller. The ancient system of Āhār (diet), Vihār (company), Āchār (conduct), and Vichār (thought) protects us. You cannot hide your thoughts from yourself or God. Understand the self through Jñāna. Life's aim is not to kill feelings but to understand them, following Dharma, Artha, Kāma, and Mokṣa. Sustainability is the cosmic law. Your destiny is recorded. Practice truth and meditation to remove ignorance and see the divine light within. "You cannot run away from the problem. You have to operate, you have to get a solution, you have to clear up your mind." "Good karma is the only painkiller. All the pain causing constantly is bad karma." Filming location: Fiji Islands

The essence of spiritual practice is the true understanding of guru, yoga, and mantra. A genuine guru is a rare, realized master who imparts the knowledge of Brahman. Many approach yoga with only physical aims, misunderstanding its purpose as union with the divine. Commercial interests have distorted yoga's meaning, though its core is satsang and ātmā jñāna. Spiritual practice requires correct guidance and dedicated sādhanā to remove inner impurities. The practice of mantra, using a mālā with proper technique, is foundational. A blessing from a true master can transform one's spiritual destiny. The goal is the eternal union of the individual soul with the supreme reality. "A guru is a Brahmaniṣṭha, Śrotriya. Brahmaniṣṭa means one who has realized Brahman." "Yoga means union, the union of jīvātmā to paramātmā." Filming location: Fiji Islands

Mānasik Pūjā is the mental worship and service to the divine master, which is the essence of spiritual practice. It is performed in deep meditation, visualizing the guru in the inner light of consciousness and serving him with complete devotion. This practice eradicates negative thoughts and questions, replacing them with pure, selfless service. The relationship between master and disciple must be one of absolute trust and transparency, free from deceit. True service, or Karma Yoga, is achieved when one's entire life becomes an offering, with no sense of separate existence. In this age, practice and the repetition of the divine name are paramount. This internal worship cultivates the endurance and humility necessary for spiritual growth, far beyond mere physical rituals. "In that light, like a beautiful golden lotus, Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa and Mahāprabhujī are sitting." "My life is a ceremony to you. My life is a service to you. My life has no meaning, coming to this earth only to serve thy divine will." Filming location: Fiji Islands

The human condition is defined by a separation from nature, leading to suffering. Culture often overshadows the essential culture of agriculture, which sustains all life. Humans have manipulated natural nourishment, creating artificial ways of living that damage physical, mental, and spiritual health. This manipulation breeds greed, ego, and aggression. The ancient wisdom of Āyurveda teaches that the first prosperity is good health, which is lost when we corrupt our way of eating. To realize the self, one must engage in Ātmā Cintan—constant contemplation on one's true nature beyond the body and mind. This contemplation navigates between constructive focus and worldly worries. The elemental forces of nature, like fire and water, are essential yet possess mighty, destructive power when misused or cheated. Desire acts as a wall between the individual self and the supreme self, binding one to transient sorrows. True happiness is found not in temporary pleasures but in abiding near the Ātmā.

Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, and soul, given for human well-being. Its authentic postures and philosophy are detailed in ancient texts like the Śiva Saṁhitā. Modern, commercialized yoga often ignores this depth, leading to potential harm from incorrect practice. True health requires quality nourishment—organic, sattvic food—and mindful consumption, not just following tastes. Our mental health is influenced by social company and trends, which can manipulate us. Spiritual health requires rising above ambition and practicing tolerance. Key principles for life are dharma (righteousness), dhīraja (fortitude), mitra (true friendship), and commitment to one's life partner. Without mastering physical, mental, and social health, spiritual progress and real meditation are impossible. Meditation is not making selfish requests but achieving a motionless state leading to self-realization. The path involves the eight limbs: yama, niyama, āsana, prāṇāyāma, pratyāhāra, dhāraṇā, dhyāna, and samādhi. Practice is essential; theory alone is worthless. The goal is to realize the oneness of knowledge, knower, and object, which is God-realization. "Half-knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge." "Yoga means, yogī means, practice."

Awareness is cultivated through simple, deliberate physical movements. Begin by slowly moving the hands, closing and opening the fists. Then, open the palms fully. Stretch upward, expanding the fingers wide, and bring the palms together overhead. Conclude by gently massaging the eyelids before opening the eyes. This sequence directs attention to the body's sensations, anchoring the mind in the present moment. It is a practice of mindful action, not of thought. Each gesture is performed with full attention, creating a bridge between physical form and conscious awareness. The practice ends with a return to sight, symbolizing a clarified perception. "Slowly move your hands and close your fists." "Gently massage your eyelids and open your eyes."

The journey of the soul and the foundation of harmony begin with the mother. The first divine principle is "Mātṛ Devo Bhava"—mother is God. The real education in human qualities comes from the gentle touch and care of the mother, developing compassion. The soul, as immortal light, descends from the astral world. Its harmonious journey into the mortal world is guided, eventually arriving through the mother. This life is a brief journey to realize our purpose. Harmony is established when parents fulfill their dharma: the father ensures the mother's peaceful pregnancy, creating a blessed environment for the soul's development. We miss our divine milestone through negative thoughts, judgment, and conflict. We must forgive, surrender negative thinking, and cultivate positivity. Every evening, review your actions; every morning, affirm your humanity. Practice living consciously with love and kindness. Meditation is consciously collecting and sending blessings of love to all creation, which purifies and balances us. "First, we should give up negative thinking. Who are we to judge someone?" "Life is a journey, not a destination." Filming location: Raumati Beach, New Zealand

The battle between dharma and adharma continues within. The story of Bhishma illustrates the need for self-reflection and purification. He realized his life's mistakes while lying on a bed of arrows, attaining self-knowledge. The past year's global violence and personal actions must be reviewed. Each step is counted. To remove sin is a duty, not a sin. Negative thoughts darken consciousness and return quickly. Purification is achieved through specific practices. Perform abhisheka on a Shiva Linga with the Tryambakam mantra for one month. Chant the Gayatri Mantra. This purifies the heart and chakras. Surrender body, mind, and soul to become an instrument of light. The burden of past karma will lighten but can regrow if one returns to wrong ways. Avoid negative company, for it is an infectious disease. Preserve culture by supporting village life and small shops. Move to villages to protect traditions and community. Learn to cook. Support small businesses even if it costs slightly more. This helps preserve cultural ways. Forgive past mistakes and pray for guidance in the new year. "To remove the sin is not a sin, it is a duty." "Non-violence is the highest principle." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

A devotee welcomes a revered teacher and shares a New Year's message. The teacher's guidance elevates consciousness, akin to the progressive revelations in scripture. Personal anecdotes illustrate the teacher's profound influence and the global recognition of his charitable works, including providing water, education, and establishing ashrams. Observing public devotion reveals the teacher's impact. Direct guidance from such a master is a rare fortune, steering individuals beyond their mistakes. The core teaching is universal compassion and selfless action. The New Year is a time for reflection and positive change. All beings are interconnected in one human family under one divine presence. Past year's conflicts and suffering call for empathy and shared responsibility. True celebration involves charitable giving, not intoxication. Help those in need without judgment. The greatest wealth is found in generosity, not possession. Avoid appropriating the work of others; honesty is essential. Use occasions to reconcile and shed ego. Simple acts of kindness, like feeding birds or giving blankets, generate blessings. The best spiritual practice is selfless giving. Personal meditation involves visualizing and praying for all disciples worldwide, culminating in surrender. A guided meditation envisions holding and illuminating the entire world with love and light. "Every time there is a lecture from our master, there is always a new message on top of the previous messages." "All should be happy. No one should be unhappy."

Remain steadfast on the eternal path, for change resets one's progress and brings suffering. The soul journeys through experiences, bearing pain as it seeks the divine. A fallen sage, reborn as a turtle, maintained faith despite his wife's doubt. They were captured and nearly boiled, yet through surrender and endurance, they were saved by a flood and granted forgiveness, promising a return to the human path. True devotion is tested. Kuntī asked that devotees face troubles to remember God's name, while the faithless enjoy pleasure and forget. Surrender all burdens to the divine. Live in the world but remain untouched, like a lotus in muddy water. The only goal is to be a servant at the holy feet. "Blessed are they who get human life. Lucky are they who have the spiritual parents. And fortunate is that one who has the spiritual urge, longing. And liberated are they who will meet the Gurudev." "Hey Krishna, I surrender to those troubles, for every second they make me remember thy name."

Awakening compassion and peace within is our subject. This awakening is inherent, like a fountain of joy inside. Yoga is union, a way of life beyond physical exercise, where the individual merges into the divine ocean like a river. Every creature contains God's light. Alongside divine qualities, negative energies develop within us, parallel to positive growth. Fear is the root seed of all negative qualities, with the fear of death being strongest. From fear arises attachment, then anger, jealousy, and revenge, which destroy our well-being. Knowledge of the immortal self, the ātmā, is the light that dispels this fear. True peace arrives only when fear is gone, and it is found within, not externally. We must sacrifice greed and fear, with forgiveness being the best protection. "Within you is the bliss of the ocean. Within you is the fountain of joy." "Fear is a seed, fear is a root, fear is the cause, fear is the origin of all our negative qualities." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Sanātana Dharma is the eternal, universal principle, not a man-made religion. It is the cosmic consciousness that creates, balances, and sustains all existence. This divine principle, called Brahman, is formless, nameless, and omnipresent, dwelling within every entity as the inner light or life. The entire universe, governed by this law, emerges from a primordial sound or resonance. All creation, including humans, arises from the five elements, yet the essential self within is one with this consciousness. Great saints and incarnations manifest to guide humanity, often enduring great suffering, as seen in the lives of Krishna's parents, Mary, and Jesus. Their struggles exemplify the path of unwavering faith and service. True spirituality transcends all man-made boundaries of religion, culture, and nation, recognizing the divine in all, especially honoring the feminine principle as the primary creative force. The purpose of human life is to realize this oneness and serve creation. "Sanātana Dharma is that which is balancing, harmonizing, and keeps one in the oneness or unity." "God says that every living being is my essence, my light, myself. This is Sanātana." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The sacred land of Bhārat is a holy place of incarnations, saints, rivers, and mountains. Its essence is divine, but people often lose their spiritual nature in the pursuit of materialism, misusing divine creations like money and causing suffering. Sanātana Dharma is the eternal principle that harmonizes all existence, dwelling within each being. For realization, one requires a living guide, as the formless truth is approached through form. The Guru is the essential conduit for liberation, embodying the principles of creation, sustenance, and dissolution. One must follow the Guru's instruction, not blindly imitate their actions, as understanding is paramount. "Dhyāna mūlam guru mūrti. Pūjā mūlam guru padam. Mantra mūlam guru vākyam. Mokṣa mūlam guru kṛpā." "Do what Gurudeva said. Don’t do what Gurudeva is doing." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

A mantra is the essence that gives contentment, removes desires, and leads the mind toward the divine. It is the seed containing all scriptures. The primary mantra is received from an enlightened master within a spiritual lineage; this Guru Mantra is essential. Self-made mantras are not fruitful. Practice begins with writing the mantra to absorb its letters and sound. Next is loud, correct pronunciation, then silent articulation, followed by mental repetition, and finally automatic repetition leading to samādhi. Use a 108-bead mala, held with the thumb and middle finger, avoiding the index finger, to count repetitions. Practice with discipline, such as five malas morning and evening. Self-discipline is the key. "The mantra means which gives us contentment, peace, and happiness." "The mantra removes the desires of the mind and takes the mind towards God."

The eternal truth of Vedānta and the power of Satsaṅg. Satsaṅg is very rare and can make a human holy. Vedānta is the highest philosophy, the wisdom of the Vedas and Upaniṣads. Sanātana Dharma is the eternal truth, the dharma of the entire universe. Vedānta declares the final truth: one Supreme Brahman, “Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā.” This world is a temporary bubble on water. Through study, meditation, and practice, one can go within. The great ṛṣis of Bhārata could go beyond solar systems through practical Vedānta. As long as one is in duality, one cannot go further. Advaita Vāda sees only oneness—one in all and all in one. A saint’s spiritual practice persists beyond death, while worldly knowledge does not. Life is a journey; the last minutes determine everything. A single negative thought can spoil a lifetime of goodness, like a drop of lemon curdling milk. Be alert and never let a negative thought enter the mind. Satsaṅg with great saints and contemplation of truth awakens the soul. Bad company leads to vices, suffering, and hell. The true self is not the body; you are the indweller, the soul, one with Brahman, revealed through the guru’s grace. “You put water in ten cups, you see in the night, every cup one moon… in reality there is only one moon, Eko Brahma Dvitīya Nāsti.” “Satsaṅgat se prīt lagāte raho, khotī saṅgat se man ko bachāte raho.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The human brain possesses immense capacity, but modern systems have eroded our memory and innate abilities. We now rely on external devices for remembering and navigating, which weakens our mental faculties. Learning certain classical languages is an exercise that protects the brain. True knowledge languages are few: Sanskrit, Latin, Old Greek, and Parsi. The science of mantra begins with writing, then chanting with precise pronunciation and mudrās, followed by mental repetition. This process trains the brain to reject materialism, leading to a balanced mind free from stress. The individual soul and universal soul are separated by Māyā. Inner purification from anger, ego, hate, jealousy, and revenge brings one closer to Brahman. One must perform one's duty like a river flowing to the ocean. "He who does not have knowledge of his own self, only he heard too much... He doesn’t know the meaning of the śāstras... Like the spoon doesn’t know the taste of soup." "From fullness or from the full, full arises. And if you take fullness from fullness, only fullness will remain." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā stems from the Himalayan legacy, where cosmic energy focuses directly from the universe. The master chose Jadan as a holy seat of immense energy, destined for all mankind. Every word of the Guru comes true. In Jadan Ashram, the light is radiant, but outer peace does not automatically bring inner peace. Life there is simple and intense, with time passing differently, allowing deep spiritual absorption. The lost needle searched outside where there is light, though lost in darkness, reflects ignorance. Where there is light, bright thoughts arise; where there is darkness, negativity comes. Christmas is a time to give away negative qualities, offer good feelings, and practice forgiveness. God unites in oneness, beyond differences in religion or culture. The Himalayas are the youngest mountains, yet they grow tall, hosting many saints and yogis. Alakhpurījī is indescribable, spotless, everlasting—a Śiva-like being. Serving the master in every aspect is the true sādhanā. Through such service, the physical body may transform into a subtle body, gaining siddhis. Śiva drank the world’s poison, becoming Nīlakaṇṭha, the blue-throated one. Alakhpurījī blessed Devpurījī in the glaciers, granting divine powers. The dharma is to work for Gurudeva and bring his message to others. “Only to see the mountains is nothing. But in those mountains, we are searching for something.” “Where there is light, it brings bright thoughts. And where there is darkness, negative thoughts come.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sanātana Dharma is the universal tradition, the connection between human and universe, not confined to any land. Observing nature, the ancient sages saw cycles in life and seasons: four stages of life mirror spring, summer, autumn, winter. Festivals arose from these rhythms, offering rest, strengthening community, and transmitting tradition through stories of heroes who walked the path of truth. Modern society kills this tradition by disrespecting elders, losing their knowledge. Returning to Sanātana Dharma preserves life and the earth. Vedānta is realization, not intellectual speculation. It declares Brahman alone real, the world perishable. Happiness cannot come from impermanent things. The wave is never separate from the ocean; self-realization is knowing the water quality, God-realization is seeing the whole ocean as water. Without devotion, Vedānta feeds ego. The path of devotion to the form is safest. The soul, bound by karma, merges into the supreme through Guru’s grace. Ego, pride, and jealousy bring suffering. See the divine in all, and give water to the root. “You are never ever separated.” “If you do one thing, you will master everything. And when you try to master everything, you will lose everything.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The light of the Guru dissolves the ego, which is the primary obstacle to divine knowledge. Ego is a great enemy, a rock that can only be melted by love and devotion. It destroys all virtues and is the source of all suffering. The Guru's grace can only enter a heart free of ego. One must surrender completely and burn away all impurities like a wick burns to give light. This requires unwavering dedication and equal vision toward all. "Ego is one of the greatest enemies of the human. Ego is that Yama, like a god of death." "All sufferings which we have are from our ego. And if ego melts, then everything begins to flow, and flowing is the purity." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

We celebrate the arrival of Jesus, a festival of peace, love, and unity. The world needs light, both physical and the divine light of wisdom within every being. Since organized religion began, division has followed, unlike the universal, indivisible consciousness of Sanātana Dharma. Human greed creates ownership and mental pollution, which is more dangerous than physical waste. Before a bomb destroys others, it destroys itself; similarly, negative thoughts first harm the one who holds them. We are called not to judge, but to forgive and to hate the sin, not the sinner. Modern celebrations have become materialistic and polluting, especially with single-use plastics, which now seem immortal. The true gift is non-material, offered openly without harmful packaging. Our spiritual duty is selfless service, to pass on immortal wisdom. A true disciple, like Jesus, endures suffering without abandoning principle to deliver a divine message. We must write and share immortal wisdom through devotion and trust. "Forgive them; they do not know what they are doing." "We hate the sin, but not the sinner." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The eternal light of self-realization is beyond sun and moon. All are that light of Śiva. Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva are one consciousness manifesting different faculties, understood only through self-knowledge. Non-dual realization ends all duality. The foundation of human consciousness is the Mūlādhāra Chakra, the seat of Gaṇeśa, representing solidity and the removal of obstacles. This foundation is stabilized by the immortal serpent pair, Nāga and Nāginī, symbolizing Śiva and Śakti. Correct placement according to Vāstu Śāstra ensures balance and protection, aligning the home with cosmic principles. Attachment is a blanket over consciousness; detachment should be natural and painless. The story illustrates the giving of the immortal mantra. Śiva revealed his mala of skulls were Pārvatī's from past lives, causing her to seek the secret of immortality. He led her to a secluded cave to impart the knowledge, but she fell asleep. A parrot repeated the responses, learning the Guru Gītā itself. Śiva pursued the parrot, which entered the womb of Vedavyāsa's wife and was later born as the sage Sukadeva. "There is no moon and sun, and no stars. That light is beyond the sun and moon." "Gaṇeśa is that which removes all the obstacles." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The spiritual path requires positive thinking, mercy, and detachment, especially in this challenging age. The lineage originates from the perfected Siddhas. A saint's inner ornaments are wisdom, devotion, and renunciation, not the display of miraculous powers. Using such powers from a place of ego leads to their loss. The world is sustained by the continuous presence of saints, who walk through the fire of worldly temptations their entire lives. In this age, the simplest practice is the constant repetition of God's name. Cultivate positive thinking relentlessly; if not positive, at least refrain from negative thoughts. Show mercy and compassion to all, hating the sin but not the sinner. Practice detachment from material temptations. Correct mistakes immediately, for a small initial error requires great effort to later undo. A householder can also be a saint by embodying these qualities. "A great, wise person does not use or demonstrate siddhi. On the day you demonstrate them, your life will become restless." "In the Kali Yuga, there is only one hope to cross the ocean of ignorance, and that is the name of God. Repeat, repeat, repeat the name of God." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The journey of self-realization is the core of Sanātana Dharma. This eternal way of life is not based on external conversion but on direct inner experience. Its practices—yoga, meditation, mantra—are means for self-inquiry, to strengthen the seeker on the path. The ultimate goal is to realize the Ātmā's unity with Brahman, the absolute truth. This truth is one, though spoken of in many ways. All rituals and deities are manifestations of the mind, which must be transcended to perceive Brahman directly. The soul does not perish but evolves through states of consciousness until that merger is achieved. This is a universal journey where all seekers, at different levels, progress from darkness to light, aspiring for immortality. "The whole journey of self-realization is what Sanātana Dharma is all about." "Unless the mind is transcended, you are far from Brahman."

The power of speech originates from the navel center. The three levels of sound—Parā, Paśyantī, and Bhekārī—are connected to bodily centers. Parā resides in the navel lotus, where prāṇa and apāna merge to create energy. This Nābhi Maṇḍala is the center of your being and the universe. Yogīs who master this through sādhanā attain Vacchan Siddhi, where their spoken words manifest reality. Attachment is the primary obstacle, a binding cage for the soul. Mere belief or reading is insufficient; one must become a practitioner, a Lakṣārthī, focused on the aim beyond scholarly knowledge. True achievement comes from dissolving moha through disciplined practice, not just physical yoga. The Guru's guidance is essential to cut these invisible bonds. "Do not humiliate yoga with āsana and prāṇāyāma. This is just for your body to keep on going." "Where the sunlight cannot reach, beyond that can go a point. But that point must have the divine vision."

Christmas conveys a dual message of joy and sorrow to awaken compassion. Holy incarnations appear for a purpose or remain as constant saints. God sustains all life, yet human greed corrupts this natural provision. The season reminds us of divine births, like Jesus, born into hardship to exemplify love and perseverance. Living in this complex world requires balance, like a tongue amidst teeth. True saintliness is an inner quality, not an external uniform. The path demands positive thinking toward all, without judgment, as divine figures work to show the way. "God is feeding everyone. And what they call the food companies are now controlling, and they produce the food as they like." "Those who love their friends and enemies equally, they are dear to me."

A mantra is the essence of all wisdom, a tool for updating and balancing our entire being. It is a light and a leader. All spiritual practices are blessings for human well-being, aiming to cultivate compassion for all creation. Dharma is not religion but the inherent function and harmony of all things, from the body's systems to the growth of a plant. The root of dharma is mercy, dayā. Without compassion, one cannot protect the eternal harmony, sanātana. Ego and pride are the roots of sin. Understanding, not judgment, is key. Do not give up compassion as long as you live. Mantra practice purifies and integrates us through specific stages: written, chanted, whispered, mental, and finally automatic repetition. The guru's word is foundational. A mantra received from a guru is for life; its power depends on the disciple's receptivity and the removal of negative thoughts, which create severe karmic burdens. True meditation arises from this mastered practice, not from idle sitting. The protective grace of the guru and mantra is real, but one must rise above personal negativity and live in harmony. "Dharma kā mūl hai dayā. Pāpa mūla abhimāna." "Without mantra, meditation is like a body without a soul." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Human life is the final step toward self-realization, requiring the energy of true education. This essential wisdom is found first in the family. Among all creatures, only humans can achieve this awakening through the eternal science of yoga. Yoga is not postures but the principle of Sanātana, using authentic practice to activate the body's energy. The universe contains both divine and negative forces. Helping others can sometimes provoke their latent negativity, turning them against their benefactor. Rituals like incense use specific herbs whose smoke can induce a painless, trance-like state, but excess must be avoided. Mantras act like a rising sun, dispelling the fog of karma with the wind of knowledge. What we eat influences our entire being, and modern nourishment is deeply manipulated. The knowledge of cooking is now essential for a complete human life. Without it, health and clear thinking are compromised. One must learn to prepare food properly or at least know what one is eating. Formal education serves to secure sustenance, but the highest gift is the knowledge of cooking, which ensures health, happiness, and prosperity. "The best education is that which we get in the lap of our parents." "Those who cannot cook will be lost." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

Yoga is the eternal science of body, mind, and soul. It is the oldest knowledge, given by Śiva, who manifests from the universe as Svayambhū. Śiva is both creator and dissolver, appearing at the beginning and at the Mahāpralaya, the great dissolution. Between these periods, the divine principles of Brahmā as creator and Viṣṇu as sustainer operate through recurring cycles of four yugas. The aim is to realize the state beyond time and space, the one without a second. Life is a journey. Karma is created through body, mind, speech, and social power. Every thought wave, or chitta vṛtti, influences the entire being. The body is a microcosm; each cell contains an entire universe. True yoga involves first traveling within this endless inner phenomenon. The universal Ātmā is one, while the individual jīvātmā is bound by karma and desires. Thoughts lead the being, and these vṛttis translate into action through the four principles of karma. The trinity of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva represents generation, organization, and dissolution. Above these is the Guru principle—the light of knowledge beyond the three guṇas. This principle inspires, harmonizes, and liberates. Final liberation comes through the Guru's grace. The essence is to follow the instruction, not merely imitate the form. Realization of the one, eternal, omnipresent consciousness brings humility and wisdom. "Śiva is known as Sṛjan and Visarjan—these two words: creating and dissolving." "Life is a journey. Life is a journey, not a destination." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

Every breath is a priceless diamond; do not squander it. Time is very precious; time is money. Satsang is priceless, received without cost, but one is not worthy to enter it. The bliss of Brahman does not come again and again, so liberation is not possible. The cow serves alive and even after death; the human body is useless after death. Human beings have forgotten how to value time. Humanness is far away. One forgets the Giver, squandering on actions. The heart is stained with sin. One lies, gossips, sings impure songs, defaming the mind. The tongue is not worthy of singing the Lord’s songs. Not serving mother and father makes one unworthy of coming into this world. At every turn, let compassion, modesty, and a smile remain. One must attain life’s secret, renounce restlessness, control mind and senses, know oneself, and remain blissful. The mother of dharma is compassion; the father is contentment. One who serves parents is a true child. One who knows oneself is a human being. “Every breath is a priceless diamond, it is not worthy of being squandered.” “In life, one must attain the secret of life; one must renounce restlessness and unrighteousness.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The festival of Deepavali is celebrated according to the lunar calendar, for the moon governs the mind and the changing seasons. The human mind, like the moon, is always changing. A promise must be kept even at the cost of one's life, so think carefully before speaking. To control the emotions, which are like water in motion, one must follow the lunar cycles. The soul enters the human body pure, but then accumulates karmic impressions through action. These impressions must be purified. For this, the Guru principle is essential. The Guru is the light. There are divine principles: Brahmā the creator, Viṣṇu the protector, and Śiva the liberator. Śiva is Swayambhū, a self-manifested light, not born of parents. The Guru is the fourth principle, known as Nityāvatāra, the eternal incarnation. "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurudev Maheśvara." One must meditate on the Guru's form, worship the Guru's feet, and follow the Guru's instruction as the true mantra. Liberation comes only through the Guru's grace. "Therefore: 'Dhyāna-mūlaṁ guru-mūrti, pūjā-mūlaṁ guru-padaṁ, mantra-mūlaṁ guru-vākyaṁ, mokṣa-mūlaṁ guru-kṛpā.'" "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurudev Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt Parabrahm."

A tree is planted as a living symbol of peace and integrated education. This act connects to global reforestation efforts. The tree represents life itself and is imbued with spiritual energy. It serves all who come to it with a sincere wish for harmony, love, or success. The tree is a mother to be requested, not commanded. Care for it ensures the growth of peace and wisdom. We live on a green planet to be nurtured. "Especially the students who have a kind of nervousness when examinations come—they should come and touch this tree and wish that they will pass." "This tree is not only a tree for the fulfillment of a wish, not only for study, but for anything. For anything, because this tree is life." Filming locations: Győr, Győr-Moson-Sopron, Hungary

True education integrates ethics, morality, and spirituality for the wholeness of the human personality. Without education, a human is nearly like an animal. Education must prepare models to work for the protection of all creatures and the environment. The first university taught that "I am body" is ignorance, while "I am pure consciousness" is wisdom. Modern education often focuses solely on technology, but techniques without spirituality will become a problem. We must understand sustainability; what is created will be destroyed. Current technologies, like manipulated crops and highways, often harm nature and health. Spirituality, rooted in compassion and non-violence, leads to true sustainability. Therefore, university education should include subjects like spiritual principles and healthy cooking to nourish body, mind, and spirit for future generations. "When the last tree will be chopped off and the last fish will die, oh man, then you will realize that you can’t eat your dollars." "Education is that kind of vidyā, vidyā and avidyā. Ignorance or knowledge... 'I am body' is ignorance. 'I am pure consciousness' is the wisdom." Filming location: Hungary

The highest principle is non-violence, ahiṃsā, which is the foundation for peace. This principle must be lived through thoughts, words, and actions. The World Peace Council disseminates this message, honoring the teachings of Mahātmā Gandhi and Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandajī. True peace is a state of being that begins within the individual. Humanity's violence extends beyond conflict to the exploitation of nature and animals, with devastating environmental consequences. Each person must embody change through daily practice, guided by principles like āhār, vihār, āchār, and vichār. Spiritual progress demands ceasing to harm creatures for bodily wants. The essence of all wisdom is that actions return to the doer; therefore, one must choose compassion. "Spiritual progress does demand at some stage that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants." "Be the change you want to see in the world."

Life is governed by laws. Disharmony arises when laws are broken. The body is a system ruled by prāṇa, the life force. Prāṇa links gross matter and consciousness. Prāṇa is pure, like clean water. It becomes polluted by negative influences. Tension overloads the nervous system and manifests physically. Yoga and prāṇāyāma purify and harmonize the system. A complete system must be followed without mixing. Mixing requires further hard purification. Meditation demands strict seclusion and silence. Without seclusion, hidden impurities remain unseen. Positive thoughts and satsaṅga wash out inner dregs. The guru’s name is the boat across the ocean. Jumping out leads to destruction. The aim is to realize the pure Self. "Prāṇa is like clean water. But whatever color you put inside, you will then name the water by that color." "Satsaṅga destroys, satsaṅga liberates." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The soul communicates directly through an unseen bond of pure love, which is divine energy. Our excessive outer focus has obscured this inner connection. A scientific experiment demonstrated profound distress between separated rabbits, indicating this deep link. Animals often perceive this bond more clearly than humans, as seen in the synchronized movement of birds or fish. This perfect soul-to-soul communication is our true reality, beyond temporary material attachments. Inner renunciation is essential. Attachment creates conflict, leaving one unable to progress or find peace from any direction. Renunciation does not mean neglect but loving detachment. What is inwardly renounced often returns, as spiritual development requires releasing inner desires, not merely external forms. This human life is a priceless opportunity not to be wasted in gossip or distraction. Maintain your spiritual path without disturbance. The ultimate aim is merging with the formless Supreme. "Love is Śakti. It is like ultrasound waves." "Tyāga. Go, go even from me, far away. Finished." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The interplay of Puruṣa and Prakṛti defines life's duties and stages. Prakṛti is nature, both the sustainable environment and an individual's inherent character, which can manifest as imbalance or disaster. Puruṣa signifies conscious action, or Puruṣārtha, which must be performed with discernment. This work is structured through the four aims of life: dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa. To fulfill these, human life is divided into four stages. The first is brahmacarya, the student life dedicated solely to gaining knowledge. The second is gṛhastha, the householder stage of great responsibility, providing for family and offering hospitality to all. The third is vanaprastha, a retirement of renunciation and deeper practice. The fourth is sannyāsa, complete detachment, seeing the whole world as one's family. These stages align with the seasons. The ultimate aim is to transcend duality through spiritual practice, recognizing the divine in all. "Prakṛti is nature. Prakṛti is that which is created by God and is itself sustainable." "Dharma is not a religion, but what is your dharma?... if you follow dharma, even if it is very hard, you should follow. Then dharma will follow you, will protect you."

Prāṇa revitalizes the brain, guided by the subtle energies of Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā. Citta vṛttis, the mind's modifications, are active in all states and dictate life's course. These vṛttis are not calmed by mere relaxation or meditation; such practices can instead strengthen them. True understanding requires systematic discipline from the grassroots. A teacher must observe with open eyes, ensuring student comfort and avoiding forceful corrections. Instruction flows from the teacher's own vṛttis, making personal clarity essential. Love for practice, not external validation, is fundamental. Guru bhakti, unwavering devotion, is the core. Satsaṅg is the highest practice, immortal and limitless. All techniques must lead to this devotion, ensuring no separation arises between the disciple and the divine. "During meditations, they should keep their eyes closed and sit straight, relaxed." "A teacher should have open eyes, because when a teacher closes their eyes, 90% of the instruction of the teacher is his or her vṛtti." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The journey of the soul and the senses is the path to self-realization. The soul travels through existence, from prāṇa to paramātmā. Countless souls inhabit living and astral bodies, each a point of divine light. The first principle is Svayaṃbhū, a self-manifesting resonance from which all creation arises. When that divine light incarnates, it becomes the individual. Some beings travel far in consciousness, while others forget their identity in nothingness. We are presently distanced from our soul's memory, confined by the present. The relationship between prāṇa, the life force, and the soul is interdependent and indistinguishable. Yoga is the practice for ātmā-anubhūti, self-realization. This requires centered practice and ātmā-cintan, the inquiry into one's true nature beyond body, breath, and mind. Realization leads to surrender of the ego to the formless eternal. The senses are divine instruments. The five senses of perception and five of action connect the inner and outer worlds. They must be used purely, as perception shapes reality. The mind is the governor of these senses. One must relax the senses to quiet the mind, not attempt to stop it. "Ātmā Cintan generally means asking, 'Who am I? I am not this body. I am not this breath. I am not these thoughts.'" "Jaisī Dṛṣṭi Vaiśī Sṛṣṭi. Through which kind of thinking do you look at someone? Like that, the world will appear to you." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

The path requires steady practice, not mere theory. Many listen but do not practice, and too much knowledge creates ambition, making one forget the basics. Attempting to master every aspect of life separately is endless; mastering one thing leads to mastering all. Modern yoga often lacks spiritual foundation, and many teachings fade because their core techniques are not properly understood or maintained by successors. Organizations decline due to internal conflict and jealousy after a founder passes. Spiritual work requires systematic practice, not competition. Teach by letting wisdom flow, and ensure the transmission of knowledge to a new generation. Practice gently awakens the subtle energies within. "if you practice one thing, you will master everything. If you try to do everything, you will lose everything." "Never practice āsanas with closed eyes. Prāṇāyāma is okay." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

True knowledge is an endless journey, not a destination to be measured. Self-realization is the ultimate goal, though its name varies across paths. The final result is revealed only at life's end, for the mind and senses are unreliable. Within each person exist both divine qualities and destructive forces like anger and greed. Therefore, one must remain humble and avoid premature celebration, as ego is the greatest obstacle. Daily study of sacred texts continually yields new insight, akin to a nourishing meal that reveals more flavor the longer it is savored. In contrast, modern pursuits often emphasize superficial quality and commercial gain, which distracts from spiritual depth. This is evident in the dilution of traditional practices, such as yoga being altered with novelties like "wine yoga" to attract followers. The unchanging ancient wisdom, however, remains the genuine path. A crucial yet neglected aspect of this wisdom is the art of cooking and understanding food's effects on body, mind, and spirit. Our being is composed of layers: the innermost reality of the soul and vital energy (prāṇa), the realm of senses and intellect, the domain of desires and emotions, and the physical body. Mastering these layers through conscious living leads to holistic health and the realization of one's true self. "Belief does not change reality. If you do not believe in God, it does not mean there is no God." "Your life is in your hands. World peace is in your hands. And your spiritual development is in your decision."

The embodiment of the Guru is the supreme blessing for the spiritual path. The human birth is the first blessing, followed by spiritual parents, friends who lead to good company, childhood spiritual awakening, and meeting a Satguru. The soul must be cared for, or temptations will consume its energy like birds devouring a field. Satsang is immortal, while personal practices are limited. Gurubhakti is essential; losing it is losing everything. One must digest personal karma silently without judgment or complaint, for speaking ill attracts more negativity. The Guru's divine love often manifests as strict guidance to strengthen the disciple. "Your tapasyā will end, your saṅkalpa will end, your feelings will end, your practice will end. But satsaṅg will never finish. Satsaṅg is immortal." "If you lost the guru-bhakti, you lost everything." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The divine soul within is the imperishable light of the Supreme. Life on Earth is impermanent, governed by a cycle of coming and going. The man-made world struggles, while the God-made system of nature is perfect. True sustainability arises from spiritual education and harmony, not material pursuits. Yoga is the science that unites body, mind, and soul to realize this inner light. The soul, or Ātmā, is formless and eternal, like space; it cannot be harmed. Human life is a precious opportunity to break free from cyclical existence through duty, detachment, and spiritual practice. Conflict and division are creations of the human mind, overcome by realizing the non-dual truth that the essential Self in all is one. "The soul, Jīvātmā, is the light of the Supreme. It has no form and no name." "Ātmā is like space. No weapon can kill this Ātmā; fire cannot burn it; death cannot take it away." Filming location: Bratislava, Slovakia

The soul is a divine light on a journey through countless lives toward reunion with its source. It enters a human body by destiny, receiving the rare chance for conscious choice. This human life is an instrument given by God, containing latent powers and five sheaths, with the soul's light within. That inner light is accessed not by intellect but through meditation guided by a living master. The master is the lit candle that ignites the disciple's latent flame. This transmission is the light of pure love, which is the essence of devotion and surrender. Life's stages from childhood onward require nurturing this love through proper upbringing and selfless action. The path demands overcoming bad habits and maintaining consciousness through all difficulties. Success comes from perseverance and grace, leading to true meditation and realization. "The soul is that which comes from God. That means the light of God gives life." "Satgurudeva is the Light. Jyoti is the light. A flame. And we are all candles here. Not yet lit."

The birth of a devotee is the glory of the earth, for they manifest the divine. Without devotees, God is unknown; without God, devotees are lost. One should aspire to give birth to a devotee, a giver, or a hero—not a beggar or a coward. Giving extends beyond material things to include compassion, support, and blessings. The three glories of any land are the faithful, the saint, and the fearless warrior. The three shames are the deceitful, the coward, and the cruel. Deceitful individuals, like a jute rope, do not soften even in sacred company; their hardened ego remains. God resides where devotees sing His glories. Therefore, cultivate the qualities of a giver. Protect your physical, mental, and spiritual health by flowing like water, sharing wisdom and kindness. True giving is an attitude of love and humble service, creating a welcoming space for all. The subtle life force, prāṇa, sustains the body and connects the individual soul to the Supreme. Study this science to nurture well-being. "Without bhaktas, nobody will know who is God. And without God, bhaktas are lost." "God is there where my bhaktas sing the glory of my name." Filming location: Villach, Austria

The nature of the Guru's grace is revealed through discipline, dedication, and truth. Guruji was a perfect instrument for Mahaprabhuji's message, embodying absolute discipline and joy. His presence was commanding, like a tiger—centered and without doubt. He dedicated himself to spreading truth, often facing hardship, and was like a river connected to the source, flowing with love and wisdom. He represented a foundational path, while Swamiji represents an advanced one. Both are kings in their own right. The core spiritual practice is to look within, establish a solid foundation, and endure life's storms with the Guru's support. Inner certainty is paramount. This human life is a precious chance for liberation, requiring purification through compassion for all creatures. True spirituality demands personal transformation, not mere ritual. The Guru's guidance, even when seemingly strict, is an act of love and support, like a potter shaping a vessel. We must cultivate mercy and avoid causing wounds with words. The disciple's aim is to internalize the Guru's light through discipline and love, spreading seeds of wisdom that may grow according to their merit. "He realized that the Mahābhārata is 100%." "Gurujī taught me how to fly an Ambassador, and Swāmījī, the Ferrari." Filming location: Villach, Austria

Prāṇa is the subtle life force and the foundation of practice. It is more than fresh air or oxygen; it is the divine life within that air. Prāṇa is universal and invisible, like the soul and the ātmā. The individual soul carries the record of karma from all actions, like a snowball growing each life. Spiritual knowledge melts these karmas. All forms—prāṇa, soul, ātmā—are ultimately one, like water, steam, and ice. Life is a cycle aiming to return to the origin, to God. Human life is the journey to achieve this union through qualities like love and kindness. The mind, senses, and intellect form another part of life. If unbalanced, they cause suffering. Prāṇa acts as the harmonizing cement between body, mind, and soul. Authentic practice is essential. Prāṇāyāma involves four natural breath phases: inhalation, exhalation, and the retentions inside and out. This practice purifies the body by increasing oxygen and removing toxins. It is more important than physical exercise. Seek food and environments rich in prāṇa, like bees seek nectar. Avoid polluted air. Practice systematically with a straight spine, observing the natural breath to deepen capacity and health. "The soul is a bundle of our actions. Soul is like a snowball." "Prāṇa unites, Prāṇa balances, Prāṇa keeps everything in order, healthiness, and therefore it is said harmony."

Today is Gaṇeśa Caturthī, the incarnation day of Bhagavān Śrī Gaṇeśa. He is the first worshipped deity, preceding all others. His stories convey divine principles, not merely physical forms. Gaṇeśa was born to Pārvatī. While she bathed, he guarded her door. Śiva arrived and was barred entry. In anger, Śiva severed Gaṇeśa’s head. To restore him, an elephant’s head was placed upon his body, symbolizing wisdom and intellect. Gaṇeśa is the lord of all elements within the universe and within us. He grants success and removes obstacles. Worship him first in all endeavors. True fulfillment requires a pure, desireless heart. Divine grace resides within, accessed through the Guru’s blessings and sattvic living. "Gaṇ means the elements, and Īś means the Lord. God of all elements." "First you have to become desireless. Because if you have some desires and you put again more desires, then it’s not that."

The practice of Trāṭak develops concentration. People often follow trends without logic, from diets to fashion, lacking the discipline of austerity and renunciation. A complete spiritual system requires faith and trust, built upon foundational restraints and observances. Without mastering these, one cannot achieve steady concentration or meditation. Trāṭak is a technique of focused gazing that cultivates this inner steadiness and harmony. It must be learned under proper guidance to avoid imbalance. The practice is pure and safe, designed for spiritual development, not physical extremes. It leads to perceiving an inner light beyond mere visual reflections. "Trāṭak means gazing steadily at one point. By directing your attention to that point, you create balance through your eyesight." "Trāṭak will help you remove many negative thoughts, develop concentration, and give you inner harmony." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
