The Divine Mother’s power destroys demonic forces, outer and inner. The Divine Mother manifests with eighteen arms, each holding a weapon, both beautiful and terrifying. She was born from the combined energies of the gods to slay Mahishasura. Mahishasura terrorized the worlds, having a boon that no man could kill him. The Mother killed Mahishasura, restoring balance for an age. Later, demons Sumbha and Nisumbha performed severe penance and obtained a boon to die only by a woman. They conquered the gods and seized their realms. The gods prayed to the Divine Mother for deliverance. From her body emerged Kali, dark and fierce. She destroyed generals Chanda and Munda, becoming Chamunda. The demon Raktabija had a boon that each drop of his spilled blood created a new demon. Kali drank his blood before it touched the ground, enabling his defeat. The Mother then slew Sumbha and Nisumbha, restoring cosmic order. These battles represent the inner struggle against laziness, ego, and attachment. True worship requires sincerity and control of the mind, not mere ritual. By the Mother’s grace, one awakens from the sleep of ignorance. Divine power triumphs when devotion is pure. “When we call the Mother, when we call God, we are not trying to wake Her up—the Divine Mother is already awake. We are waking ourselves up.” “Abandon falsehood, abandon hypocrisy—leave it entirely. Then you will attain the Mother.”

The Devī Bhāgavata reveals the sovereignty of the Divine Mother and the necessity of surrender. The spiritual journey begins with the question: Who am I? What is this universe? Brahmā sought the origin and entered Maṇidvīpa, seeing countless Brahmās, Viṣṇus, and Śivas. There he beheld Mahāmāyā seated upon Śiva, with Brahmā and Viṣṇu supporting the bed. In her toenail, he saw innumerable universes. The Mother declared: I am one with Parabrahma; I reside in all deities as Śakti. She initiated Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, granting them power. The ego is the real demon; it must be dissolved. Like a seed that surrenders to become a tree, one must surrender the ego. Navarātri worship is for conquering inner demons like anger and greed. Mahiṣāsura and Raktabīja represent insatiable desire and multiplying vices. The gods, unable to defeat them, meditated on the Mother. From their combined energies, the Goddess Durgā manifested. Each god gave her a weapon; she alone could destroy the demons. True worship needs devotion, not elaborate offerings. The living mother before you is the first form of the Divine Mother. Surrendering to her grace is the essence of all sādhanā. “Who am I? What is this universe? This is the question.” “Yā devī sarva-bhūteṣu mātṛ-rūpeṇa saṃsthitā, namas tasyai namas tasyai.”

Śukadeva’s dialogue with King Janaka unveils the nature of bondage and liberation. Śukadeva, already self-realized, journeys to Mithilā to meet King Janaka, sent by his father to resolve the command to marry. The gatekeeper asks: “What is happiness and sorrow?” Śukadeva answers: happiness is complete attraction, sorrow its absence. The gatekeeper asks: “Who are the enemies?” Śukadeva says: desire, greed, and anger. The gatekeeper asks: “Who is the true friend?” Śukadeva replies: contentment. Admitted, Janaka teaches that the mind alone causes bondage and liberation. The Ātmā is ever pure, never bound; it is known only through inference. All pilgrimage and bathing are futile if the mind is not purified. One is already liberated; nothing is lost or found, for you are full in yourself. The fire of desires is hard to extinguish; the peaceful householder is superior to the sannyāsī fallen into greed. Living a household life without attachment surpasses renunciation tainted by craving. Perform actions without ego—anāsakta karma leads to freedom. The hidden proud one is bound; the one proud of freedom is free. The mind is a staircase, able to rise or fall. Like a lion cub among sheep, recognize your inherent royalty. Know the mind; do not fight the senses or soul. Thus, doubt dissolves. “The cause of bondage and liberation is not the body, nor the jīvātmā, nor the senses—it is the mind.” “You are already liberated. You are that already. Do not struggle for that state of consciousness.”

The purification of intellect is the aim of jñāna and yajña. A mind free of jealousy and ego is pure. All sādhanā is fruitless without mental purity. The test of purity is the absence of jealousy and ego. When the intellect rests on consciousness, purity arises. Awakening is the process of purification. Mahāmāyā is the conscious power of the divine; without her, even God is dead matter. She is the mother of all beings, human and divine. The scriptures conceal logic; a teacher extracts the essence. The story of Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī shows that dishonoring the feminine invites curse and ruin. Surrender to the feminine is the supreme teaching; victory lies in bowing to woman. Inner transformation alone brings peace; outer change is futile. Only through Mahāmāyā’s grace could Viṣṇu, beheaded by his own bow, receive a horse’s head to slay the demon Hayagrīva. This cosmic play reveals no boon overrides śakti. To transcend māyā, one must fight it, not love or hate it. Human birth is for lifting the curtain of drama, not remaining bound. Refuge in the Guru alone takes one beyond the play of even the gods. “If the mind is without jealousy, without ego, it indicates that now we are pure.” “Only that person can go beyond māyā who fights with māyā.”

The Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavata holds supreme glory, especially on Navarātri. Vedavyāsa composed the Purāṇas to make Vedic knowledge accessible. This text reveals the Divine Mother as the origin of creation. Reciting even one verse brings blessings. Navarātri is a time to renounce desires and awaken from worldly sleep. The nine nights worship Mahākālī, Mahālakṣmī, and Mahāsarasvatī—action, knowledge, and splendor. Human aims of dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa culminate in liberation. Ego drains spiritual power; dissolving it through devotion is vital. Inner peace is the foundation of world peace. Body, mind, and soul need sustenance; meditation is the soul’s food. Without striving for mokṣa, human birth is wasted. Stories illustrate the text’s power: Vasudeva’s listening returned Kṛṣṇa; Durgā worship freed him from prison. The Syamantaka jewel shows attachment leads only to loss. Navarātri practice controls the senses and balances health through seasonal transitions. Time is an illusion; enlightenment transcends it. Scriptures are maps; the true journey is inward. Surrender to the Guru and disciplined practice are essential. “Yā niśā sarvabhūtānāṁ tasyāṁ jāgarti saṁyamī, yasyāṁ jāgrati bhūtāni sā niśā paśyato muneḥ.” “Na tato na mātā na bandhur na dhātā, mātas cha pitā tameva.” Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Life is an eternal path, not a destination. Human consciousness is the peak of creaturely existence, with two directions: return to worldly suffering or progress to liberation. The inner self remains unchanged amid all outer experiences. Humans have created technology but become enslaved to it, bringing more trouble than comfort. The man-made world is imperfect; the God-made world is sustainable. Ancient seers, witnessing this, developed yoga as a way of living—nourishment, ethics, spirituality. Yoga in Daily Life is a system for physical, mental, and spiritual health, rooted in authentic tradition. Health depends on nutrition and slow, mindful yoga practice, not speed. Dedicating daily time and occasional fasting places well-being in one’s own hands. Inner discontent arises when love is sought outside; love is always within. Learn to love the soul without expecting love from others, thus remaining free. Material possessions and relationships are transient; only the fragrance of good deeds remains. Protect nature, for harm to the environment harms the body. Desires are never satisfied; spiritual wealth alone cannot be stolen. Tomorrow begins Navaratri, nine nights of the Divine Mother’s protective energy; prayer and fasting are advised. This life is an eternal journey; through yoga, live in harmony and happiness.

A yoga practice for women focuses on pelvic health and hormonal balance. Begin by lying down and relaxing the entire body, releasing tension from the toes to the head. Direct awareness to the spine and the muscles of the pelvic floor, which can be strengthened or relaxed. Breathe consciously into the lower pelvis, not just the abdomen, to relax the internal organs. Bring attention to the neck and the thyroid gland, a key producer of metabolic hormones. Other glands, like the suprarenal and reproductive glands, are guided by hormones from the brain. Practice āsanas that massage the spine and strengthen the pelvic region. Move with the natural rhythm of the breath, not forcing it. In poses like Khaṇḍrāsana, consciously contract and then fully relax the pelvic muscles. Sarvāṅgāsana influences the thyroid gland and circulation. Maintain comfort in each āsana, holding only necessary muscles. Conclude with counterposes and feel the effects of the practice. "Āsana means comfortable. It is the position that you are able to remain in without any effort for minutes." "Try to give your breath into your lowest pelvis. It’s not abdominal breath. Try to breathe more down than the abdomen."

Yoga in Daily Life is a holistic system for overcoming fear and achieving well-being. This system provides physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. It is not merely physical exercise but builds willpower and mental strength. A strong will dispels anxiety and fear. Many fears today stem from economic uncertainty and existential threats. Inner peace and harmony make one resilient, realizing survival is assured with a healthy body. Systematic practice creates inner certainty and happiness. Personal discipline and daily practice of āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation are essential. Do not compare your progress to others or the outer world. Fear weakens willpower; inner knowledge and bravery dissolve it. Perform your duty without being swayed by external events.

Yoga addresses health through disciplined practice and specific techniques for hormonal balance. Menopause involves hormonal shifts causing physical and psychic changes, including hot flashes, osteoporosis risk, and pelvic floor issues leading to incontinence. Yoga balances the hormone system and strengthens the pelvic floor through specific āsanas and bandhas. A holistic approach prioritizes natural methods like yoga, then homeopathy or Āyurveda, with hormone replacement therapy as a last resort due to potential side effects. True yoga requires deep, disciplined study over years, not quick certifications. Practice must be balanced with counter-poses. The body is a temple requiring consistent care through exercise and mindful eating. "Yoga exercises are actually balancing the hormone system, helping to go through this time of hormone changing smoothly and easily." "Our biggest problem is, first, self-discipline. Practicing everyday discipline, this is the first problem. And second is our eating problem." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

Health is founded on food, fasting, and the heart's condition. Ayurveda states to eat only with real hunger, as food then digests well. Moderation is advised: fifty percent food, twenty-five percent liquid, and twenty-five percent empty for air. The best therapy is food, ideally organic. Historical dietary shifts from macrobiotics to fast food correlate with changes in health and social conduct. Fasting exists in many cultures for cleansing body and mind, though personal weakness often compromises it. Eating less is healthier. The heart is a sensitive organ, gaining strength from feelings of love and security while suffering from negative emotions like fear and anger. Physical movement and specific exercises, particularly for the back, are essential for overall health. "Food is not sweet, but hunger is sweet." "The heart is such a sensitive organ... as soon as we think negatively... then the heart suffers." Filming locations: Salzburg, Austria.

We practice guided relaxation and yoga postures to unite body, breath, and awareness. Begin by lying down, consciously relaxing each body part from the feet to the scalp with the exhalation. Observe the breath and feel the expansion of Prāṇa-Śakti with inhalation and purification with exhalation. After relaxation, perform gentle exercises like drawing knees to the chest and rolling on the back. Practice Marjaryāsana (cat pose) with focus on the spine, both on hands and forearms, incorporating side movements. Perform a kneeling side stretch similar to Trikoṇāsana. Practice a rowing motion while seated. Conclude with Prāṇāyāma. Assume a meditation posture, use Prāṇāyāma Mudrā to breathe through one nostril at a time. Breathing left activates calmness (Iḍā Nāḍī); breathing right activates clarity and warmth (Piṅgalā Nāḍī). End with chanting Oṁ. "Feel the power spreading with the inhalation, the expansion of power within me, Prāṇa-Śakti, throughout my entire body." "Breathing through the left nostril activates the Iḍā Nāḍī... Calmness sets in. Breathing through the right nostril... Piṅgalā Nāḍī. The warming system within you is activated." Filming location: Salzburg, Austria

Morning Session from Anusthana Retreat Strilky, Czech Republic. Bhajans are the essence of all Vedas, Upanishads and Holy Scriptures. The highest technique of achievement in yoga and spirituality is the satsang. It is the essence of all which has the content of the entire universe, earth, all creation and the human. Only the bhajan of God is the truth. The rest of the world is like a dream. What was yesterday is now a dream. What one experienced in the night is now a dream. The past is a dream. Therefore don't go into the past and don't rush for the future. Be alert, aware and conscious about the presence. Only spirituality, bhajan singing and meditating is the real truth. That is the divine, real experience of Lord Shiva.

Spiritual development requires the dissolution of ego, not its inflation. A story tells of a crow on a temple roof who believed the prayers inside were for him. He was mistaken. This illustrates the ego that arises from spiritual identity. True greatness never announces itself. As one grows spiritually, humility increases, while mere intellectual development often inflates pride. A person in a high position must become more helpful, like a fruit-laden branch that bends low. Useless pride is like a tall palm tree offering no shade to the traveler. Awakening is an inner process of wisdom and peace, not a physical feat or a result of forceful techniques. A restless mind cannot attain realization; it merely rolls the name of God like a fox with a coconut, unable to access the nourishment within. Create harmony, not disharmony. Feel the pain of others. Greatness is attained through humility, not self-aggrandizement. Be a light; darkness cannot approach it. True spirituality is kindness and humility. "Baḍā badāī nahīṁ kare, aur baḍā na bole bol." (The great one never praises his own glory, nor does he speak great words about himself.) "Through humility, you get the great things." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The path requires inner inquiry, not outward blame. Spiritual practice is meaningless without inner change. Self-study reveals what to transform. Do not merely think you are divine; understand your senses and desires. We are slaves to desires, surviving just with God's name, praying for another human life to correct mistakes. Nirvāṇa is both constructing a house and liberation. Before inner purification, know the asuras within you. Your life's aim is not found in external toys or ambitions, which make you a prisoner. Drop your ambition like the hawk dropping the meat, and the pursuing senses will leave you in peace. You alone can do this; no one else is to blame. Blessings have immense power. Giving happiness, kindness, and compassion generates blessings that can change everything, even overcoming destiny. Conversely, curses can have long-lasting effects. Seek the shelter of divine knowledge, which places you above sin and virtue. Develop inner clarity and the experience of the Ātmā to rise above all negative qualities. "The problem is within you, and the solution is within you. You are the witness of your inner feelings and thoughts." "Blessings can do everything... So bless all, do not curse anyone. That is it."

Karma, Āśīrvāda, and the journey of the soul are the core of human existence. Animals live by destiny, without choice. Humans possess freedom to decide, to accept or reject. That freedom creates karma, the record of deeds. Karma does not depend on religious belief. Atheists who help others accumulate good karma. Action lies within human control. Reaction, the fruit of destiny, does not. Selfless love generates merit; selfish love does not. Throughout life, each breath causes unintended harm. Prayer, kindness, and giving release some of that karmic burden. The root of dharma is mercy. The root of sin is ego. Blessing, āśīrvāda, helps cross the ocean of ignorance. Curse, śrāpa, can burn all karma to ash. Any person can bestow blessing. “The philosophy of karma, the principle of karma, is not based on religious spirituality.” “Dayā dharma kā mūla hai. Pāpamūl abhimān.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The light of the saint and the fire of the ego are the two energies within. Holy saints appear in human form, sharing the same culture and appearance, yet their inner experience is of oneness with all creatures. They possess miraculous abilities, or siddhis, used for understanding, not domination. The fire is the energy of anger, jealousy, hate, and greed, which burns and destroys countless beings. The divine rain is the sudden peace and love that follows, quenching that fire. The aim is to realize the inner self, the Ātmā, which is the uncreated light, distinct from the created body and mind. To renounce is not to abandon material life but to relinquish inner longing and the ego's fire. True spirituality is beyond dogma and conflict, seeing the divine light in all paths and creatures. "Sin is the result of causing pain to others, to all creatures: physical, mental, emotional, intellectual, social, political, economic." "Renounce inner longing."

The purpose of retreat is inner purification and rest. Life's stress and mental pollution require periodic cleansing, like washing a cloth. This regeneration of energy supports spiritual progress. We undertake retreat for rehabilitation and practice. Certain burdensome thoughts cannot be stopped by will alone. Primary problems concerning relationships, illness, and economic fear remain. Worldly conflict stems from deep-seated cultural, national, and religious divisions. Inner peace is the foundation; without it, everything outside is a disaster. The practice here is for physical, mental, and spiritual health. We cannot neglect problems, yet we cannot solve them all. We find support through prayer and positive thinking. Welcome all creatures into your heart as they are. Silence means to be within yourself, but excess in seriousness or speech is not beneficial. The body's dharma requires care and proper nourishment. A mantra is healthy nourishment, awakening growth like spring. Everything in the universe is working, including the body and the seasons. Our duty is to provide proper care and exercise. Do not torture the body, but do not spoil it through laziness. This retreat is for relaxation and practice without force. "Mahatma Gandhījī said, 'There is no way to peace. Peace itself is the way.'" "Gandhījī said very clearly, 'We hate the sins, but we do not hate the sinner.'" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The eternal Dharma is a universal principle, not a man-made religion. It is the divine law that balances creation, with incarnations appearing to restore it. The Nitya Avatāra, the eternal saint, embodies wisdom and teaches when needed. The Nimit Avatāra, the purposeful incarnation, manifests to destroy overwhelming evil. This is depicted in the story of Prahlāda. His father, the asura king, sought immortality through deceit but was bound by his own boons. Prahlāda, devoted to God from the womb, survived all attempts on his life. The king's sister, Holikā, who was immune to fire, perished when trying to burn the boy. Finally, the king threatened Prahlāda at a hot iron pillar. From it emerged the Narasiṃha Avatāra, neither man nor beast, at twilight, at a threshold, fulfilling the boon's conditions and destroying the tyrant. This victory of truth over evil is celebrated as Holī. The festival symbolizes the inner victory of devotion over ego and hatred. True spirituality is the injection that harmonizes humanity. "Yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata... sambhavāmi yuge yuge." "Satya meva jayate—the truth will be, in the end, the victory over the evil."

The search for the Self is the Self searching for itself. We seek the treasure within the body, questioning if it resides in the heart, brain, or elsewhere, yet anatomical research finds only mystery. The Self is not these physical or subtle parts. Our life follows Dharma, like a tree that blossoms, gives fragrance, and sheds leaves without loss. We imagine life's purpose through culture and tradition, creating duality. Consciousness is drawn toward the material or the cosmic; we must balance both. Acting with kindness, love, and respect in the world loses nothing, just as prayer and devotion lose nothing but gain. Obstacles arise from identifying with the physical. The highest principle is Seva, service through body, wealth, words, and thoughts. Do not be a slave to mind, intellect, or ego, which is a cause of distraction like Rāvaṇa's downfall. The senses are instruments; you are not the mind, intellect, ego, senses, or elements. You are the blissful consciousness. Meditation is the culmination, a battle against invisible enemies to realize the everlasting, spotless Self. "Immortal are they whose names will be in the glories of mankind; all will remember you with love." "I am not this mind, nor this buddhi, and nor I am this ahaṁkāra."

Self-inquiry meditation begins with the question "How am I?" to clear the inner attitude before asking "Who am I?" Sit comfortably with a straight back. Use a mantra or the sound "Oṃ" to block negative thoughts. Close your eyes and withdraw from the external world with a deep breath and chant. After meditating, perform a forward bend to improve circulation to the head, which benefits memory and senses. "Unless we remove this kind of dust from the inner mirror, we cannot have a clear vision of our true Self." "Once, take a deep inhale and chant 'Aum.' During the Aum chanting, withdraw yourself from the external world and be one with your inner world."

Meditation and self-inquiry are practices for daily life. Sit comfortably and upright. Use a mantra to block other thoughts and withdraw from the outer world. Chanting together aids this process. Physical mudrās, like bending forward, support circulation and diminish the ego. These practices are for the eyes, memory, and brain. After a period of practice, resume regular activity with awareness. "The mantra aids greatly with this." "It is important to remain in this mudrā for a while." Filming locations: Vienna, Austria.

Human life is given for God-realization, yet inner cruelties attack us like jungle predators. The soul suffers through cycles of pain, seeking purification. We forget past lives, mercifully hidden, and fail to see the divine door within our own heart. External pollution mirrors inner defilement, where negative qualities overpower fragile virtues like devotion and knowledge. Within each being lie pearls of wisdom, love, and purity, but they are obscured by the dirt of greed and ambition. The human opportunity is to realize one is not the body but the eternal consciousness, to cleanse the inner system and attain liberation from returning to suffering. "Door of my heart, open wide I keep for thee. Will Thou come, just for once come to me." "Look within thyself, you have beautiful pearls lying there, beautiful pearls."

The path to inner purity requires silencing the mental noise that obscures divine connection. A cluttered mind, filled with thoughts and desires, creates an inner pollution that deafens one to the subtle voice within. This lack of silence is a lack of purity. In the world, the individual soul is positioned between the grinding stones of divine reality and worldly illusion. Surrender to God is the central axis of refuge where one remains untouched and whole. Your duty is only to perform righteous action; God determines the result. Positive thinking awakens dormant positive energy, while negative thoughts inevitably yield negative outcomes. Greed is the root of sin, breaking one's vows and principles. You are the king of the body's city; do not become a slave to the mind and senses. Use the body according to its sacred duty, without abuse. "Between the two stones, nothing remained intact." "Your duty is only to perform action. Act, but I will give the fruits, the judgment, the result." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The divine play of consciousness manifests in the natural world and within the human body. We witness the cycles of day and night, awakening and sleeping. All life finds its way to grow, yet human action creates suffering through greed and disregard. We destroy forests, poison wildlife with pesticides, and cause immense cruelty to animals for milk and meat. This destruction threatens the future, leading to a world governed by chemicals. The human body is a perfect, self-sustainable creation housing the divine soul. The essence of all creation is one God, the immortal consciousness known as Śiva, which is truth, consciousness, and bliss. Realize this Śiva consciousness within. "God didn’t create these creatures for your fun. They have the same right to live on this earth." "Therefore, don’t misuse your life. Don’t neglect your life."

Dharma is the cosmic law of right action, the inner constitution holding all existence together. Dharma is not religion; it is the ethics of life. It defines right and wrong action. This applies to all forces and beings. The sun's dharma is to give light and heat. Water's dharma is to quench thirst and cycle. The earth's dharma is to rotate and provide fertility. For humans, dharma is a personal inner compass. Ten principles guide: patience, forgiveness, control of senses, purity, right reasoning, knowledge, truthfulness, absence of anger, and honesty. Right and wrong shift with time and place, but these principles remain constant. Each person's dharma is unique due to differing experiences. Decisions must come from a pure heart and mind, like a clean mirror. Act without attachment to consequences; results are not under your control. If the inner self approves, the action holds you together; if it disapproves, guilt arises. Dharma is what sustains you. With purity of intention, do what you know to be right. "Dharma is the ethics of life. It defines, or it permits us to define, what is right, what is wrong, what we should do, and what we should not do." "Whatever you do, your inner self should not tell you that you are not right. If your inner self tells you this is not right, you should not do that." Filming location: Hungary

The dawn's nectar awakens the immortal self. The morning time of Amṛtavelā offers the nectar of immortality to those who awaken. Sleeping through it means missing this divine essence. This nectar is present in healing herbs and, most importantly, in the sacred word, Vācanāmṛta. Listening to spiritual wisdom in this dawn period is Jñānamṛta, the nectar of knowledge. This knowledge dispels the darkness of fear, jealousy, and ignorance, just as sunrise illuminates the world. True knowledge is a permanent light within, making one fearless. However, negative companionship is a poison that can destroy this beauty. Therefore, protection through righteous living, or dharma, is essential. Dharma means accepting and protecting one's inherent nature and duty, which in turn provides protection. The ultimate human dharma is self-realization, knowing the immortal Ātmā. This self is formless, spotless, and cannot be destroyed by any weapon, fire, or water. It is one universal consciousness, the Paramātmā in all. Realizing this brings eternal joy beyond the suffering of material pursuits. "Those who wake up in this Amṛtavelā receive Amṛta. Those who sleep miss it." "The Ātmā is immortal, beautiful, not depending on any joy, because that itself is a joy." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The eternal principle of Sanātana Dharma governs the universe, connecting all beings and elements in harmony. The ancient ṛṣis gathered at the confluence of sacred rivers during the Mahākumbh Melā, a tradition from the Satya Yuga. These seers possessed profound spiritual discipline, extended lifespans through mastery of prāṇa, and communicated through telepathy for the welfare of society and the environment. Their purpose was to uphold ethical and spiritual instruction, performing yajñas to maintain balance and foresee challenges. True spirituality is an inner experience, not found in external comforts or cultural commentary. The nectar of immortality, the ultimate goal, is realized through the Guru's grace, not through election but through divine selection based on spiritual quality. All cultures deserve respect, as the one Dharma embraces diversity without discrimination. "The main real one is Sanātana Dharma. That Sanātana Dharma is called eternal, the principle of governing the entire universe." "The liberation, immortality, is through the mercy of Gurudeva. And we all search for that."

This teaching explores Śiva as consciousness, liberation, and truth. Śiva means consciousness, liberation, truth, love, and beauty. His mantra is Satyam Śivam Sundaram. Self-manifested without father or mother, He is Ānanda Brahman, the endless void of dark blue space. Only space, energy, and consciousness exist. Space is the mother embodiment; consciousness within is the golden embryo, Hiraṇyagarbha. From the deepest heart, energy awakens as Śakti. Śiva and Śakti are not genders—Śakti is universal energy, Śiva is consciousness. The Śiva Liṅgaṃ represents the entire universe. Divine will declares, “I am one, now I multiply.” That resonance spreads instantly as the sound-form of Brahman. Śiva is Mahādev, manifesting Viṣṇu and Brahmā, vibrating in every atom. Time is only the human counting of atomic movement. Śiva drank poison to protect the earth, becoming Nīlakaṇṭha, and will neutralize atomic weapons in Kali Yuga. The jīva, a drop above the ocean, falls and merges into oneness. All atoms are nothing but Śiva. Offer water as abhiṣeka, chant the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra, and churn with meditation to neutralize negativity and realize the immortal bliss within. “Śiva means consciousness. Śiva means liberation. Śiva means truth, and Śiva means love. Śiva means beauty. Satyam Śivam Sundaram—that is the mantra.” “Within you is the ocean of bliss, and within you is the fountain of joy. Within you is the immortal one. Just kill the little ‘I’, the ego, and lead a divine life.” Filming locations: Prague, Czech Republic.

The universe is Śiva's body, and every atom is Śiva consciousness, with cells as Śakti energy. Cells transform; some become pure consciousness, while others are rejected upon contact with negative energies, becoming impurities and disease within the body. Prāṇāyāma purifies by expelling these dead cells and should be practiced daily. Cleansing practices like Saṅkt Prakṣālana or Ayurvedic remedies such as Sonāmukhī and Triphalā are essential to reduce unhealthy cells. These negative cells generate vibrations of laziness, anger, and greed, drawing one into negative societies and absorbing negative energy from others. Modern life is saturated with electronic radiance, affecting health. Śakti is all energy, positive as daivī śakti and negative as asurī śakti, which can manipulate. Śiva contains the entire universe, both negative and positive. Prāṇāyāma awakens pure Śakti, connecting one to pure consciousness. One must protect oneself from surrounding negative energies and cultivate pure love. Positive spirituality grows slowly like a tree, yet the mind can quickly destroy this inner garden. A spiritual person creates a lake of divine love from which all may drink, attaining immortality through purified consciousness connected to Śiva. "Making prāṇāyāma purifies the body. It awakens in you the Śakti or energy, which is the pure one." "The spiritual person, for years and years, creates that garden and that lake of divine love, of God, of bhakti, of devotion. Then everyone drinks from that." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

This Mahāśivarātri gathering addresses the significance of abhiṣeka and spiritual wisdom. Śiva is the primordial being, Lord of Yoga, from whom all spiritual sciences—mantra, yantra, tantra—manifest. Abhiṣeka offers an opportunity to make a wish, but selfish desires must be avoided. Contradictory prayers, such as one for a husband and another to be rid of a husband, illustrate the futility of selfish asking. The essence of the Vedas and six philosophies is that giving happiness yields happiness, and causing sorrow returns sorrow. All creatures inherently seek joy and freedom from suffering. The foundation is goodness: if one is good, the world becomes good. God does not immediately fulfill every wish because emotional wounds need time to heal. The body does not experience pain; the soul alone feels all sensations. Therefore, prayer should aim at healing the soul and guiding it toward light. Tomorrow morning silent abhiṣeka begins early, followed by meditation and a program. Yoga teaching certificates are granted to qualified individuals. Prasāda is distributed, and chanting of “Oṁ namaḥ śivāya” is encouraged. Blessings are offered to all, including travelers. “If you give someone happiness, you get happiness. And if you give someone trouble, you will get trouble.” “All creatures want one thing: to get happiness and get rid of troubles.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The universe is consciousness and energy, called Śiva and Śakti. Śiva is pure consciousness, without attributes, manifesting first. From the divine wish "I am one, will multiply into many" arises the sound AUM, the trinity of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. This resonance, Nāda, awakens creation. The senses are Śiva's snakes; used naturally they are nectar, abused they become poison. The intellect, Brahmā with wisdom Saraswatī, resides in the head. Above it is Śiva. Attachment leads to imbalance; detachment, like a lotus above water, brings peace. The story of Pārvatī seeking immortality from Śiva reveals truth is difficult to digest. Śiva taught her the science in secret, but she fell asleep. A parrot overheard, gained knowledge, and was later born as Śukadeva, who still required a Guru for liberation. Without a Guru, there is no mokṣa. You are the king of the body; do not become a slave to the senses. Śiva consciousness is within you. "My skull? Mine is here, my Lord." He said, "You know, there are as many skulls in my neck as the times you, my goddess, were born and died." "Without Guru, no mokṣa." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Sukha and Dukkha originate within the individual soul. All beings seek happiness and freedom from trouble. These two states are internal seeds, not external conditions. Negative thoughts and actions cultivate inner thorn bushes, whose fruit is fear and suffering. Positive thoughts cultivate divine qualities whose fruit is fearlessness. Spiritual practice is often initiated by the fear of suffering. Ultimately, every soul seeks its origin, like a drop of water returning to the ocean of divine consciousness. "Sukha is hidden in us, not outside. And Dukkha is hidden within us, not outside." "Therefore, Sukha and Dukha are within us. So try to sweep out all the vrittis which are negative."

The path of Saṅkalpa requires pure intention, for a wish born from harming others fails and accrues karma, demanding return. Kalpa signifies vast cycles of time within which the soul wanders, though in truth, time is a product of movement within consciousness. Realization is to unite with the cosmic self, beyond time and space. The vessel of the heart determines what one can receive; doubt yields little, while purity receives much. Śiva is the most merciful, forgiving all mistakes of devotees who approach with sincere prayer, as shown to the hunter who showed compassion. The sacred mantra is the key offering. "Before we take a firm determination, one should think through whether one is hurting someone else. Otherwise, your Saṅkalpa will not be successful." "I will be the most gracious and merciful to all my devotees. It doesn't matter what mistake they have done. I will forgive everything." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The Kumbh Melā is a profound meeting of spirituality and diverse cultures. Its external symbols hold deep significance for human life. The gathering represents the internal struggle between negative and positive qualities, mirroring the churning of the ocean for immortality. The confluence of three rivers symbolizes the meeting of three primary energy channels within the body. Media often focuses on sensational aspects like the Nāgabābās, misunderstanding their tradition. This tradition stems from a history of renunciation and readiness to protect, where clothing was irrelevant for immediate action. The application of ash served practical purposes for warmth and hygiene. Originally, the Kumbh Melā was a meeting of learned individuals to discuss dharma, ethics, and protecting all life. It was a difficult journey, a cultural exchange to preserve wisdom. Different cultures have their own valid perspectives and ways of living, which should be respected rather than judged through a limited lens. The event is a spiritual solution for societal development, not conflict. "Human life is a struggle for immortality and liberation." "Kumbh Mela originally was a meeting of intellectual people. It was meant for speaking about humanity, dharma, culture, ethics, spiritual principles, the protection of the environment." Filming location: Allahabad, India

The search for immortality is a search within, for the nectar already present in the self. Time is a man-made calculation based on primordial vibrations, yet the true self is timeless. The struggle depicted in myth is for amṛta, the nectar of immortality. This nectar exists as wisdom, sacred words, and knowledge, but it is sought externally while residing within. The ego must be eradicated to realize this. Like a honeybee taking nectar from poison, one must extract wisdom from all experiences. Dharma is action aligned with this truth, protecting all life and maintaining equanimity. The essence of all teachings is love and non-harm. The living master embodies this direct wisdom. "Within you is the ocean of bliss. Within you is the fountain of joy, and within you is the immortal Ātmā. Just kill this little 'I', this little ego, and lead a divine life." "Brahma-satyaṁ jagat-mithyā. Whatever happens in this universe is all temporary. Truth is that which is the Ātmā." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The final gathering contemplates fortune, faith, and the inner harvest. Good or bad destiny is created by one's own actions. Attaining divine pleasure requires luck and fortune, which cannot be forced. There are two types of seekers: one who works hard for a spiritual goal and one who works for worldly pleasures based on intellect. Without steadfast devotion, nothing can protect you. Unity is essential; a lack of unity within society and religion leads to unrest. The scriptures recognize no caste discrimination; there is only the human race. A true disciple is tested through faith and action, not mere intellect. One must practice their spiritual resolve to attain fulfillment. Purity arises by removing anger, greed, and ego. Spiritual practice awakens inner power and leads to the goal. This knowledge and the inner harvest come only through the grace of the Guru. "One cannot get the pleasure of good things without luck." "If we all live in unity, then why should there be unrest in our country?" Filming location: Maha Kumbha Mela, India

A new era of spiritual unity dawns upon this sacred gathering. The greatest culture is Sanātana Dharma, Vedic and eternal. No country, no culture, no language compares. The holy water of the Ganges sanctifies all. Divine souls are present here. The world is one family, as Indian sages teach. This stage is a world stage for self-realization and union with the Supreme. God is one. The earth is one, divided only by human names. God has name and form, yet is beyond them, like the concept of money beyond currency. Sanātana Dharma is no sect. It has no founder, no beginning point. It is the manifestation of divinity already within. Yoga is one, though divided by names. Sannyāsa is every human being's right. Once confined, it is now opened to all humanity. This is a human system of true spirituality. “The heart is the real religion—the religion that has no beginning point.” “God has name and form, and at the same time God is far beyond name and form.” Filming locations: Kumbha Melā, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India.

The Kumbha Melā is a profound spiritual confluence. It is believed the nectar of immortality fell at Prayāg, making the site eternally sacred. People gather for purification of body, mind, and soul. Historically, it was a meeting of great saints and scholars who discussed societal guidance and freedom from dogma. It also served as a vital node for communication across the land. Today, its positive impact grows, especially on youth seeking ethical grounding. The gathering reawakens inner spirituality. The site's sanctity is linked to the confluence of three rivers, symbolizing peace, intellect, and consciousness. A special celestial constellation amplifies its purifying radiance. The sādhu-saṅgha, including the organized akhāṛās and Nāgā Sādhus, has historically upheld Dharma and protected culture. The primordial sound Oṁ is the source and essence of all. True practice seeks sincerity, not dogma. The ultimate Kumbha, the pot of nectar, is found within through yoga, harmonizing the inner energies to become a being of light and love. This Melā is a blessing for world peace. "One feels a purification that brings harmony to body, mind, and soul." "As long as there is the slaughterhouse, there will also be the battlehouse."

The blessings of satsaṅg and a story of transformation. This sacred confluence has been a site of austerity and spiritual dialogue for ages. People often seek happiness in external materialism, neglecting the dormant wisdom within. A story is told of a disciple who, with a little knowledge, betrayed and tried to supplant his Guru. The Guru cursed him to be reborn as a crow. Later, this crow sat among birds discussing life, Guru, and devotion. Hearing them, the crow remembered his past life and wept in realization of his error. This transformed crow became a sage who gives satsaṅg. Being in satsaṅg has great effect on consciousness. Purify negative thoughts and practice discipline. "In satsaṅg, the one who talks a lot becomes a crow, the one who sleeps becomes a tiger, and the one who comes and goes becomes a frog." "Listening to satsaṅg, being in the satsaṅg, has a great benefit, a great effect on our body, mind, consciousness, and intellect." Filming location: Maha Kumbha Mela, Allahabad, India

A call for unity and awareness to the people of India. Do not speak. Drive out the wicked. Those who graze cattle, now gain knowledge. Do not fight with each other. Hold each other's hands. Some people have become Nugraji, those who do not count. Now, all you people who live in India, gain knowledge. "Bhārat ke rahne vāle, don’t fight with each other. Hold each other’s hands."

The speaker acknowledges the service and devotion of those present, linking their efforts to national and cultural glorification. You have all strived to protect us and to bathe. Our religious leaders have performed worship. Our media friends have shown keen interest by coming with an international devotee. In truth, these individuals will enhance our country's glory and our culture's glory. They will come to Mother Ganga and will spread this. "God bless you all who have tried your utmost to protect us for the sake of the people and to take a bath."

The eternal pilgrimage is a journey to the sacred confluence within. This place is the king of all holy sites, where waters from ancient sages converge. Since the dawn of time, seekers have performed penance here. The immortal nectar from the cosmic churning never perishes; its essence permeates this ground. Your singular intention to reach this place has transformed you; you have become a living confluence. A house without a saintly guest is a cremation ground while still inhabited. The human body is a moving temple, yet society is fractured by imposed divisions. Other faiths do not bar entry based on such distinctions, yet Hindus are divided. The rivers appeared for all beings, not for one sect alone. A mind carrying discrimination cannot taste purity, even while bathing in sacred waters. The rivers themselves come to wash their sins at the feet of saints. To nourish the entire tree, water the root of Guru devotion. "The house where no devotee, saint, or guest has set foot... such a house, even while inhabited, is like a cremation ground from the moment of birth." "A person who carries the sense of discrimination within, even if he comes here and bathes, that discrimination will not leave him." Filming locations: Triveni Tat, Prayagraj, India

Death arrives without announcement, through accident or sudden illness. The body's vital computer, the brain, controls all functions through its nerve connections. Medical science states death is final, yet divine grace possesses mastery over nature and can reverse the impossible. Even great incarnations, however, do not go against natural law while in a physical body; they experience birth, growth, and aging. Every creature has two births: the physical emergence and, for humans, the spiritual birth upon meeting the Guru. Do not think humans are best; animals possess innate knowledge humans must learn. Incarnations rarely restore life, and only for a purpose, as they uphold the very laws they give. Destiny is difficult to understand. "Anhonī Guru Kar Sake, Aur Honī Det Mitāī, Par Brahma Guru Dev Hai, Sab Kus Det Banāī." "Every creature has two lives, two births... the second birth is when you meet the Gurudev and you get a spiritual birth."

The true nectar of immortality is received through the Guru’s words and grace. At Prayagraj, the amrita of wisdom flows in satsang. Amrita is that which makes one immortal, not merely ritual substance. This Gyānamṛta pours from each word of the Guru’s bhajan, endless and limitless. The Guru is the source of light, the endless ocean of nectar, the great giver—Prakāśa Puñja Amṛta ke Sāgara. All saints like Mirabai, Kabir, and Surdas are one; hold to the one root, Gurudev. Devotion is like watering the root, not sprinkling leaves; divided devotion to many deities remains superficial. A story of a yogi reveals true detachment. Parvati saw a yogi cooking on a funeral pyre and questioned Shiva, the Lord of all, for not providing. Shiva said the yogi wanted nothing. When Shiva appeared, the yogi did not look up or greet him. He simply said, “Why have you come? I asked for nothing. Go away silently.” Shiva, the master of the universe, was dismissed; the yogi sought only peace. Such indifference shows Guru’s grace alone is supreme—Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam, the highest reality is the Guru tattva. At this sacred confluence, the immortal words of ancient rishis still echo, offering the nectar of satsang. “Each word of the Gurudev’s bhajan is a drop of nectar; it rains endlessly, without limit.” “Even with Kubera present, one who still lives by alms—that is true detachment.” Filming locations: Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India.

The human mind is a beggar’s bowl that cannot be filled. Greed brings sadness, illness, and unrest. Animals feed only to need, leaving the rest. Humans hoard, taking ten rotis for one. The ego—this “I”—is the most dangerous enemy. A king ended poverty, but pride swelled within. A beggar appeared with a bowl made of the human mind. No offering could fill it; the king’s ego was humbled. Another tale tells of a yogi roasting bread by the Ganga. Śiva came to offer a boon, but the yogi refused. No desire arose, not even for divine gifts. Detachment means seeking nothing. All pilgrimage sites rest at the Satguru’s feet. Yet this Kumbha Melā brings a rare constellation after 140 years. Millions gather uninvited to bathe and recharge. Look within through self-enquiry to feel divine bliss. Practical knowledge outweighs endless theory. Come, take the holy dip while the chance remains. “The beggar’s bowl is made of the human mind; the human mind never fills, no matter how much you give.” “The ton of theory is nothing compared to the gram of practice.” Filming location: Allahabad, India

The Caturvyūha—Vāsudeva, Pradyumna, Aniruddha, Saṅkarṣaṇa—is the inner instrument, and liberation arises when these four are aligned. The mind must become Aniruddha: unattached, unobstructed, clinging nowhere. Intellect should be Pradyumna, the supreme light discerning right and wrong. Saṅkarṣaṇa is ego, which cannot know itself; it requires the Ācārya who reveals the true self. Vāsudeva is citta, the consciousness that experiences opposites. When the mind is detached, the intellect luminous, and ego guided, that citta becomes blissful and fearless—this very state is Kṛṣṇa. Liberation means no worry, no duality, no fear. Durvāsā Muni entered Kṛṣṇa’s mouth, wandered through countless universes for ages, and finally beheld Goloka, where the divine couple sat on a lotus. He recited a three-śloka stotra describing the tender child with rain-cloud complexion and lotus eyes. Reciting that stotra upon waking grants direct vision of Nandanandana. The Guru is called Bhagavān because he is free from bondage, free from worry, fearless, and transforms disciples into that same freedom. The Guru’s grace surpasses any touchstone, purifying others by mere association. Rādhā attained Kṛṣṇa not through personal power but by serving Tulasī for six months. Thus, through purified inner instruments, divine vision, and the Guru’s grace, one realizes the blissful self. "Īśvara anśa jīva avināśī, cetana amala sahaja sukhātmā aśi." "Is liye hum to guru ko bhagavān kehte haiṅ. Iske pīche kāraṇ yahī hai ki guru nirvand hai, niścint hai, nirbhay hai, aur wo hameṅ bhī vaisā hī banāte." Filming location: Allahabad, India

The butter-thief pastime contains profound spiritual secrets. Milk is scriptural knowledge, collected in a heart without the sourness of desire. A hole of bad company drains it. Heat this milk with the fire of sādhanā, like mantra repetition. Cool it with patience, as Śabarī waited. The guru’s grace, like jamun, turns it into curd. Churn the curd through discernment of eternal and non-eternal. Buttermilk is the world; butter is Brahma-jñāna. When fresh butter emerges, Kṛṣṇa Himself comes to steal it. The gopīs’ constant talk of Kṛṣṇa is the ghee of satsaṅga. That ghee lights the lamp of love within. The true prayer is to serve the servants of devotees. Wealth is remembrance of God; calamity is forgetting. Daily satsaṅga alone keeps the heart pure. Kṛṣṇa does not acknowledge any supreme element apart from Himself. The purified heart hears the muralī’s call and beholds the dark, flute-playing form. Then speech declares no other principle beyond Kṛṣṇa. “Sarva Upaniṣado Gāvo Dogdhā Gopālanandanaḥ Pārtho Vatsaḥ Sudhīr Bhoktā Dugdhaṁ Gītāmṛtaṁ Mahat.” “Paraṁ kiṁapi tattvam ahaṁ na jāne.” Filming location: Allahabad, India
