The mind operates between conscious and subconscious levels, managing impressions and desires. Our five senses gather information from the world, which is recorded in our memory. These impressions move from the conscious to the subconscious, where they can later emerge as desires or vāsanās. The mind is the principle that transfers these impressions inward and brings desires outward. Unfulfilled desires stored in the subconscious can create problems over time. The intellect judges and identifies, but it can become corrupted. True discrimination, viveka, warns of consequences. We are often slaves to our senses, particularly taste and passion. Unending desire, tṛṣṇā, is a central affliction. The body dies, but attachments and desires do not; they persist like a shadow. Do not blindly follow the ever-changing mind. "Man marā na mamatā marī, mar mar gayā śarīr. Asa tṛṣṇā na marī, kah gaye dās Kabīr." "Man ke māte na chalye, gharipālak man aur."

The purpose of human life is discovered by understanding oneself. Human intellect can be developed endlessly, yet humans are limited and have lost connection with nature. Life is governed by past and present actions, or karma. The present moment is most important, as it creates the future. To know oneself, one must meditate and talk to oneself daily. A clear life goal directs all energy and commitment. Desires arise from past results and present goals, but senses can pull one away from commitment. The invisible aspects of life—mind, heart, and spirit—govern the visible body. Parents and the guru are revered as gods because they represent the invisible causal energies, or prāṇa, that guide life. The guru works to transform the disciple, digesting complex wisdom to serve it like digestible honey. Faith in the guru ensures one becomes a guru. Liberation is freedom from desire through fulfilling one's dharma. "Talk to yourself about yourself. Just 10 or 15 minutes a day, and see in one month how much you know about yourself."

The inexhaustible treasure of Indian wisdom is found in its ancient scriptures. All modern scientific research is already declared within the Śāstras. The libraries of India contain a vast, ancient treasure of wisdom unmatched elsewhere. Yoga is the space, Ākāśa, containing consciousness; both are invisible and indestructible. From the cosmic sound, Oṁ, everything manifested. This science of yoga reveals the jīva as a drop and Śiva as the ocean. The human intellect requires proper education, which has two aspects: theoretical knowledge and practical application. A gram of practice surpasses tons of theory. Education begins with the family, then social management, and finally spiritual education through satsaṅg and self-study. True yoga is a perfect, systematic technique requiring correct practice under guidance, not the fragmented or commercialized versions popular today. The aim of human life is self-realization. "To this day, nothing has been researched by so-called modern scientists that was not already spoken or declared in the Śāstras, Vedas, Upaniṣads." "Tons of theory are nothing compared to a gram of practice." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The purpose of human life is self-realization, achieved through the practical path of yoga. Among countless creatures, the jīva obtains a human body, not for animalistic pursuits but to master negative qualities like hate and greed. This body is a temporary instrument. Modern life is unnatural, making people weak and ill, unlike tribal people or forest animals who endure naturally. Humans create pollution and selfishness, centered on ego. Even Brahmā faced disappointment when his created ṛṣis sought only self-knowledge. Death is the final truth; no one accompanies you. Negative thoughts darken consciousness, creating impurities, disturbances, and ignorance. Practice and discipline are essential. "Yogaḥ citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ." One must calm the mind's waves through mantra and meditation. Self-discipline is the key to success. Ignorance is removed only through satsaṅg, gaining true knowledge. Good karma may lead to heaven, but it is temporary, with no time for satsaṅg; one eventually falls back. Kuṣaṅga, or bad company involving criticism and negativity, destroys spiritual progress. Satsaṅg is a fragrant influence of love and knowledge, not merely listening. The human life is an ocean containing both jewels and poisons within; satsaṅg draws out the jewels. Karma Yoga, selfless service, is highly valued. In this age, Bhakti Yoga is emphasized. The final judgment of Jñāna Yoga is that Brahman is truth, the world is transient. Perform spiritual practice for liberation. "Practice makes the master, and practice leads us to the final destination of human life." "Through satsaṅg, you gain that knowledge. 'Now I know what I have to do.'" Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The sacred soil of this land and the dust of the Guru's feet are the supreme pilgrimage. The Vedas and Purāṇas sing that there are sixty-eight tīrthas at the feet of the Guru. Every village is a sacred site, for this soil is like sandalwood. It is a land of penance where divine beings have walked. The living soul is burdened by worldly attachments and actions. Just as an elephant feels light upon entering water, the soul finds peace and lightness in satsaṅga. One must distinguish between mere scholarly knowledge and the true experiential knowledge of the Self. Habit is a second nature; a fly will leave sandalwood for filth. Human birth is a rare opportunity not to be wasted on base pleasures. Liberation comes from righteous action and the grace of the Guru. The sole request is for the sacred dust from the Guru's lotus feet. "Gurudev, the emperor of Hindu Dharma, says: 'Such a foolish, lowly, ignorant person is like a big ox pulling the chariot of the world; it runs and stumbles in the dust, falling into the abyss of worldly attachments.'" "Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa says, 'Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam,' meaning the yogī is one who performs righteous actions in the world with skill and yoga." Filming locations: Kailāś village, To be determined, India.

Swamiji's introduction of Sadhvi Shanti Puriji and her humanitarian projects in India

The light of yoga brings knowledge for physical, mental, social, and spiritual health, uniting all beings. This ancient wisdom, shaped for the present, is a scientific system practiced globally. It began with a simple delivery of this divine message. The practice spread from dedicated individuals forming societies, growing like a tree from a seed through many seasons. Its core principle is non-violence in thought, word, and deed, applied individually and for world peace. The system includes exercises, breathwork, and meditation, leading to self-realization by seeing the one universal consciousness in all. The goal is a healthy, happy life and family, contributing to the community through humanitarian action. "Be the change you want to see." "Yoga is that principle which unites." Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia

Yoga is the eternal principle that harmonizes the cosmic consciousness with universal energy. The universe is an endless manifestation governed by one supreme consciousness, Brahman. Human life is a rare opportunity within this cosmic order to realize the immortal self, the ātmā, which is identical to that supreme reality. The physical body and the individual soul are temporary, but the true self is unborn and undying. The practical science of yoga, distinct from mere postures, is the means for this self-realization. It trains the intellect and cultivates the universal qualities already within. The mission of human life is to achieve this realization and live as a protector of all creation, in harmony with cosmic law. Daily practice and self-inquiry into one's human qualities are essential. This path leads out of the cycle of rebirth and toward lasting peace. "Therefore, it is said, God Kṛṣṇa in the Bhagavad Gītā also said: 'Weapon cannot kill. Fire cannot burn. Water cannot wet. Air cannot dry, and this cannot take away.' That is your identity." "Human life is the last gate to get out of the cycle of rebirth and death." Filming locations: Brno, South Moravia, Czech Republic

How to understand and improve spirituality and balance the inner changes

The waterfall’s voice becomes a meditation, and community strength lies in seeing each other anew. Sitting by the waterfall, listening to individual drops, takes one deep within. In community, people transform, yet others may hold onto past images. To support growth, release old perceptions and accept the person as they are now. Mistakes are made; the lesson is to learn from one's own errors and forgive others. Judging another’s spiritual progress is dangerous; a good yogi is simply one sincerely trying to improve. Real practice is moving from frequent anger to occasional anger, not a serene appearance. Like buildings leaning on each other, community holds one up during difficult processes. Everyone around is a potential guru, offering qualities to learn from or cautionary lessons. Understanding requires standing under another—letting go of preconceptions to accept their reality. To help with a problem, make it partly one’s own, observe, and offer back. Practice self-compassion, look at oneself realistically without judgment, and gently push forward. Patanjali teaches no right or wrong, only what is helpful or unhelpful for the path. A kangaroo’s joey stays still while the mother jumps, showing the power of a stable center. In meditation, focus on stillness in the belly, the foundation of balance and calm. Carry inner peace into the world; outer disturbances cannot shake it if one stays aware. With patience and practice, that stillness spreads to interactions and affects others. The path is one of constant learning, accepting, and moving forward together. "If we don’t let go, we pull that person back toward old habits. We can either pull each other down, or support each other to rise." "You have to stand under that person, as if on a lower level, so that you can accept them." Filming location: Martin, Slovakia

The central task of the spiritual path is to understand the Guru. All practice aims at this single point. We must strive to understand the master's actions and words, maintaining the attitude, "I want to understand." Judging the Guru ends the spiritual path. A story illustrates this: Moses followed the prophet Khiḍr but repeatedly judged his seemingly cruel actions. Khiḍr later explained each act was divine will, preventing greater harm. We often cannot comprehend a Guru's way. Another story tells of Kṛṣṇa blessing a rich merchant with doubled wealth and telling a poor devotee her cow would die. Arjuna protested this injustice. Kṛṣṇa explained the blessing would only deepen the merchant's materialism, while the cow's death would remove the woman's final attachment, leading her to enlightenment. Understanding the Guru is not an intellectual task but a realization through sādhanā. The Guru operates to remove the disciple's ego, like a surgeon. The inner divine light, ignited by the Guru, is always present within, though covered. Our duty is to remove those covers and protect that flame. "Whatever we practice aims at one single point: to understand the Guru." "Whoever truly understands the Guru, he himself becomes the Guru."

The purpose of human life is to achieve the highest spiritual goal. A river of divine blessings flows continuously. The capacity to receive it depends on the heart's spiritual readiness. One must collect and preserve this essence throughout life. Spirituality transcends all religions; it is the direct path to the divine. Life is more than mundane routines and physical pursuits. Time is uncertain, so one must diligently seek self-realization. Practice is essential to awaken dormant divine qualities within. The foundational practice begins with morning discipline. Perform Agni Sāra Kriyā on an empty stomach to purify the digestive fire. Practice correct āsanas with proper breath coordination, not merely for physical form. Follow systematic prāṇāyāma under guidance to avoid harm. Meditation requires a Guru Mantra as one's spiritual passport. Without it, practice is like a body without a soul. Dedicate the morning hours to these practices for a balanced and peaceful life. "The flowing of the divine river of blessings, the divine river of love and spirituality, it’s not only a river, but it’s an ocean." "Spirituality is that which you cannot measure, but it is endless." Filming locations: Jadan, Rajasthan, India.

The path of Guru Bhakti and Guru Seva is the way to spiritual fulfillment. A disciple should renounce personal ambitions but hold high spiritual ideals, exemplified by the complete dedication of the master. Serving the Satguru is the birthplace of supreme knowledge and the solution to every problem. Practical instructions detail the disciple's conduct: remain humble, follow the Guru's schedule, and never disobey. The master's presence brings inner stillness and bliss, transcending physical suffering. True, lasting happiness comes from Guru's grace, not worldly pleasures. "Satguru Seva is the birthplace of supreme knowledge and wisdom." "The higher the ideals, the higher we can reach." Filming locations: Jādan, Rajasthan, India.

The month of Śrāvaṇa reveals the path from the soul's cosmic loneliness to divine unity. The soul journeys endlessly through the universe, experiencing only pain, pleasure, and emptiness without direction or companionship. This mortal world is a field of karma. The human body is a precious vehicle to transcend this state through spiritual practice and guidance, merging into the light of Brahman. The descent towards this planet begins with a divine call, a Jyoti, entering the water element where God resides. Life manifests first through vegetation, sprouting from seeds preserved by the earth. True unity is not the loneliness of separation but the oneness of cosmic realization, where individual drops return to the mighty ocean. This strength is found in becoming one with the everlasting bliss of Brahman, beyond all fear and suffering. Śrāvaṇa is especially dedicated to Śiva, whose innocent grace responds to a pure heart. "A tree without fruits, a cow without milk, and earth without rain, similarly, is the life of a human without the name of God." "The street of love is so narrow that two cannot walk together, you have to become one." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The celebration of Guru Pūrṇimā honors the Śakti principle and the light of the Guru. A fire ceremony was performed for Māṭājī, who received sannyāsa and whose samādhi rests near the āśram. In the world's polarity, both Śiva and Śakti aspects must be active for oneness. Māṭājī exemplifies the Śakti force—a motherly presence of constant giving, kindness, and protection. Spiritual life requires a clear aim and program in sādhanā, proceeding step by step. Personal qualities must be developed, and having a living example is most effective. Balance receiving with giving, which means offering time, kindness, and love, not merely possessions. Life in the āśram involves the challenge of harmonizing different cultures, which teaches tolerance. The Guru is the embodiment of light, knowledge, and love. Guru Pūrṇimā is the day the disciple's soul steps into that light. The Guru's presence itself is a primary blessing, often beyond verbal description. One must make the effort to go close to the Guru. "Only through the union of Śiva and Śakti can oneness take place." "Satya Gurudev is the embodiment of light. He is the embodiment of knowledge. He is the embodiment of love."

True blessings are not given upon request but are bestowed according to divine wisdom and need. A medical condition was reportedly resolved through spiritual grace, demonstrating a power beyond the physical. Life itself is the ultimate experience, where even difficult events become turning points through grace. One should not ask for specific things, as the divine provides what is truly needed, not merely what is wanted. This requires inner strength, patience, and the practice of enduring faith. True friends and principles are revealed only during times of adversity. Spiritual growth, like a fruit tree, requires consistent practice and will yield results in its proper season. The company of the truthful is essential for the spiritual journey. "God didn’t give me anything I wanted, but He gave me everything I needed." "More than your destiny or your luck, and before time, you will get nothing."

A ceremonial invocation and worship establishes sacred connection through ritual and mantra. The assembly is called to order for pūjā, instructed to sit so all may have darśan. Salutations are offered to gurus, deities, and the earth itself. Purification is sought for all beings. Worship is performed with offerings of flowers, incense, and lamps to fulfill desires and grant blessings. The ancestors and gods are invoked for protection, well-being, and prosperity. The ritual involves offerings at a samādhi site, the waving of a chaddar, and the distribution of flowers and prasād. The ultimate aim is peace for all realms and beings, moving from ritual action to inner unity with the divine fullness. "Oṃ Apavitraḥ Pavitro Vā Saravāvasthām Gatopi Vā Yaḥ Smaret Puṇḍarīkākṣaṃ Sa Bāhyābhyantaraḥ Śuciḥ." "May the entire universe, moving and unmoving, be filled with the offering of flowers and sandalwood paste." Filming locations: Chāḍan, Pālī division, Rajasthan.

The presence of saints is a priceless treasure that dispels ignorance and bestows peace. To be born in a sacred land where such beings reside is great fortune. The vision of a saint eradicates sins from many lifetimes. Their glory is boundless, for they are constant incarnations of the divine. One must abandon pride and approach them with humility. Dedicate your life to serving the Satguru and listening to his words. True bliss arises from this devotion and the grace of the guru. The ultimate aim is to realize the self as the imperishable ātman, beyond all names and forms. When this knowledge dawns, the cycle of birth and death ends. "Go to the gathering of saints, abandon pride and ego." "Who am I? Where have I come from? Why have I come? The answer is that I am only the ātman."

The disciple's offering must be precisely what the Guru requests. A revealed bhajan contains the rarest wisdom of śeṣa samādhi. When the ten gates close and one turns inward, samādhi arises naturally. The sohaṃ mantra is the means of ascent and the root. This knowledge is recognized only by a few. The breath united with the mantra opens the door beyond. One experiences the apūrva state and sees the nirvānī. This is the rarest jewel, revealed by a true saint. Do not slander Gurudev. The name of Gurudev alone truly serves a purpose. "Oh, when all the ten gates are closed, and one continuously goes within the inner māyā, then naturally, samādhi arises." "Only a few saints have recognized it, only a few saints have recognized it."

The mother's samādhi is established and the debt to parents and guru is paramount. A mother's compassion is simple and complete. Her samādhi blesses all. The debt to one's mother is profound and nearly impossible to repay, as she endures all hardship for the child. Even great saints like Śaṅkarācārya returned to perform their mother's rites. The debt to the guru is also immense; a true disciple passes the guru's test. Human life is for self-realization, which is the purpose of this ashram. Culture protects society, and performing one's duties, especially serving parents, is essential. Modern life neglects these spiritual foundations. "It is not easy to repay the debt of the mother; only a few can do it." "The debt to the mother is never repaid by this body; the debt to the one from whom this body was created, that debt we all must repay." Filming locations: Jāṛaṇ, Pālī, Rājasthān, India.

The guru's acts and guru vākya often transcend intellectual understanding. A disciple named Moses observed his guru destroy a poor orphans’ boat. The guru later repaired a ruined wall in an empty house. The guru cut the leg of a boy from a spiritual family. Moses reacted with anger each time. The guru explained: the boat destruction preserved it from future army seizure, ensuring the orphans’ livelihood. The wall concealed a treasure belonging to orphans; its collapse would have exposed the wealth to theft. The wounded boy carried karma to become a thief; the injury prevented that destiny and saved his father from suffering. A disciple must not judge the guru. Another story tells of Krishna blessing a rich merchant with doubled wealth. Krishna then told a devoted old woman her only cow would die. The disciple questioned this injustice. Krishna explained: the cow was the woman’s last attachment; its death removed all distraction, turning her whole awareness to God and leading to enlightenment. The guru’s duty is to attack the disciple’s ego. This operation removes inner coverings that muffle the inner light. The disciple must stay close when challenged. Understanding the guru is the deepest life duty. When someone truly understands the guru, he becomes the guru himself. “The way of a guru is really different from our thinking, mostly. If we don’t understand, it’s not the mistake of the guru.” “Who really understands the Guru, he himself becomes the Guru.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Grace of the Satguru: Witnessing Divine Protection and Faith The jīva enters the world with past karma, and destiny plays out. Only the blessed one can know the guru. Arjuna could not endure Krishna’s universal form. Hari Singh, orphaned, was raised by devotees; Mahāprabhujī’s blessings brought him education and a prosperous family. Śaṅkar Singh’s mother was saved from drowning when Mahāprabhujī, in meditation, pulled their chariot from a flood. A blind man, his sin expiated through service, regained sight after a doctor’s intervention. Another man received a marriage blessing. Mahāprabhujī predicted Doctor Ram Chandra’s life path, and it came to pass. The divine guru accomplishes what the intellect deems impossible. Doubt arises from negative thinking. What is seen is only the body; the inner reality stays hidden. Seek knowledge, not the saint’s external identity. Through meditation and devotion, the heart’s lotus unfolds, revealing love and joy. Yet some remain untouched despite proximity, like a spoon in pudding, blocked by past karma. Faith in the guru’s teachings matters; unseen calamities are prevented. Taking refuge in the name leads across the ocean of existence. “Only the one who knows can know; the other cannot know.” “Do not ask the saint their caste, gender, or country. Ask for the knowledge, blessings.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

True wealth is found in grace and devotion, not in material possessions. A laborer earns little, yet a boss with money may lack respect. When a poor person arrives, they should be received with honor, for that is true wealth. The intention to serve is paramount, not the act of giving money itself. Suffering arises from a clouded intellect and the illusion of personal accomplishment. All action and capability flow solely from the guru's grace. Thinking "I did this" fragments everything. The words of a saint hold transformative power, making kings from paupers and the impossible possible. Devotion to the guru is essential for as long as one lives; to be without the guru is akin to hell. Ego is the enemy within that leads to downfall. Our true wealth lies in bhajan and sincere service. "The words of a saint, the speech of a saint, can make a king from a pauper, can make a pauper from a king." "Only the one who acts truly, who dwells in the word of the Bānī throughout the entire world, speaks thus."

Awakening to the True Guru reveals the path beyond suffering. Wherever satsang occurs, one crosses over worldly turmoil. From the mother’s lap to the crossroads, satsang provides the support. The True Guru’s presence reaches all who gather in devotion. Sleeping knowledge awakens, and ignorance is dispelled. The mind, lost in maya, wanders birth after birth in sorrow. Now the opportunity has come to sing the Name of Rama. Without true Satguru, the path remains unseen. Mad with suffering, the soul plays games of illusion. Meeting the compassionate Satguru, devotion takes hold. The Satguru bestows the lehariyā, where illusion and Brahman merge. The five elements and three gunas are imprinted in its waves. Karma and grace thread through life’s fabric. Once devotion to the Guru rises, no other color can take hold. Surrender at the Guru’s feet brings true coloring. Awaken from slumber: the mountain of fear has crossed over to Brahman. Doubts and actions vanish, birth and death cease; this meeting is beyond description. "Truly, at the lotus feet of Śrī Dīpa Dayālu, my destiny has awakened; truly, my eyes are fixed upon the holy feet." "O beloved, awaken from your deep slumber, the fearful mountain has crossed over to Brahman; all doubts and actions have vanished. Birth and death no longer come."

The true form of the Guru is the Word. The body is assumed by that Word. The Guru is unaging, immortal, indivisible, ever-present truth. The true form of the disciple is the soul. In the end, it merges into that very Word. The soul is a ray of that Word. The Satguru is the Word. The Satguru bestows the Name. That Name cannot be snatched away. The Satguru alone comes at death. The Satguru is the true protector forever. Liberation is attained on the very day the Satguru is met. After liberation, bhajana, remembrance, service, and compassion are performed. Those acts are not for liberation. Those acts are simply following the Guru’s command. Liberation already happened. “Satguru is the Word, and the Word alone is the Satguru.” “I am simply following the Guru’s command: to serve, to sing bhajans, to remember, to be compassionate.” Filming locations: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

This offering is a devotional service presented at the Guru's feet. This audio cassette is a form of service emanating from the Guru's divine presence and the ashram. It is an act of surrender and taking refuge. The presentation includes a bhajan for collective singing to garner the Guru's blessings and support. Singing together amplifies the devotion. The purpose is to connect through devotional music. It is an offering for divine grace. "All of you sing along with me. Then there will be greater support at Gurudev's feet." "God Śubhīp Nārāyaṇ remains with his own."

The supreme path is love, service, and the study of sacred scripture. Serving others through karma yoga is the fastest way for divine realization. The Bhagavad Gītā is the essential scripture for universal welfare, containing all yogic paths leading to liberation. It is the direct speech of the divine, an ocean of knowledge and immortal nectar. Contemplating its teachings with faith destroys sin and leads to the supreme abode. The relationship with a true master is central, as disciples take spiritual vows on this day. Spiritual life requires enduring difficulties, not just sunshine. Practice diligently, overcome sorrow, and remain always loving. "In the Bhagavad Gītā, it is written that if you serve others, if you do karma yoga, sevā, in whatever way you want, it is the fastest and simplest way for the realization of God." "The Gītā is a sacred scripture in the highest sense. It is an ocean of the treasure of knowledge." Filming locations: Jadan, Rajasthan, India.

True knowledge and cultural saṃskāras liberate the human being. By birth, all are śūdras. Caste and character are formed by one's actions and impressions. Only one who attains Brahmavidyā is a true Brāhmaṇa. The Vedas describe four types of births for beings entering this world. All beings are the Ātman, which is Brahman. Two types of knowers exist: those who gain knowledge from scripture and those who realize it directly. The darkness of ignorance has fragmented humanity through caste. Sixteen saṃskāras are prescribed to transform a human from a state of bondage to liberation, freeing one from debts to mothers, fathers, deities, teachers, and sages. These impressions lead one from darkness to light. Culture is formed from refined qualities and saṃskāras; it protects society and the nation. One must instill right saṃskāras in children. Human life is given to attain knowledge of the Ātman and Paramātmā. "By birth, everyone is a śūdra. Only the one who has attained Brahmavidyā is worthy of being called a Brāhmaṇa." "The one who leads us away from the darkness of ignorance towards the light of knowledge is the true guru." Filming locations: Pāli district, Rajasthan, India.

The true Guru is the immortal Word, the śabda, which is the essence of all reality. The physical form is a temporary instrument made by that Word to awaken beings. The disciple's true nature is the ātman, destined to merge into that śabda. Liberation is attained instantly upon meeting the true Satguru, whose grace settles all karmic accounts. The Guru is the eternal protector and the only refuge, ensuring the disciple transcends death. Following the Guru's command for service and remembrance is the natural expression of that liberation. The root of all worship, mantra, and liberation is the Guru's grace. "The real form of the Guru is the śabda itself." "The Satguru who bestows the Name, no one can snatch it away."

Gurupūrṇimā announcements are shared alongside spiritual reflections. A television channel will broadcast the entire program. Details for those attending in person will be provided. Prasāda is now ready for distribution. The discourse shifts to contemplative phrases. These phrases point to a state beyond coming and going. The self is not found by seeking in external locations. "Even if you go, there is no arrival." "Apnā āpko nahīṁ paṛe."

The essence of Gurupūrṇimā is the supreme importance of the guru. On this day, all practitioners pause to receive the guru's darśana and blessings. Serving the guru for a moment surpasses serving the divine for years. True fortune lies in taking refuge at the guru's feet, whether physically or through mind and feeling. Misfortune is knowing this yet failing to act. Meditation and worship are fundamentally directed through the guru's form. The mind is primary; within it reside the guru's feet, the mantra, and liberation. Pure feeling towards the guru and all beings brings true welfare. Physical presence is not essential; connection is maintained through sincere feeling and attention. "Serving Hari for sixteen years, serving the Guru for just a moment, yet they cannot be considered equal." "If you cannot physically be with Gurudev, at least keep your attention on him."

Satsang reveals the purpose of life and the path to inner peace. The body is a temporary instrument for the soul's journey to immortality. It functions like a chariot carrying the self, intellect, and discernment. Viveka continuously discriminates between dharma and adharma. Dharma is right living that creates happiness in all worlds. Adharma is destructive negative energy causing unrest in nature and beings. Human birth is not for fighting, blaming, or stealing. It is for meditation, chanting God's name, and self-realization. Life's meaning lies in fulfilling the aim of liberation. This body inevitably perishes, leaving no utility. Each breath diminishes the allotted span, bringing closer departure. Satsang gathers individuals like pearls on a thread of devotion, releasing stress and fostering wisdom. Meeting a wise saint makes a day truly count, removing fear and illusion's net. Bowing at the guru's feet sheds accumulated sins. Every moment must be used for contemplating beauty and divinity. Time must not be wasted in gossip or criticism. Life passes like morning dew. Seek holy company to be inspired and enlightened. "O human, when you die, even your skin will not be of any use; it will be burned to ashes." "That day will truly count as a day of human life—the day when you meet a holy saint." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The power of blessing is the true nourishment for the soul. Bhajan is a blessing, or prasāda, from the wise words of saints. To receive blessings, you must become ready to receive them and follow the Guru's word, the Guru Vakya, for your protection. Discipline in practice is essential. A story illustrates the vital importance of obeying the Guru's instruction. A master and disciple arrived in a village where all goods had one price, showing no distinction in value. The master warned it was not a place to stay. The disciple stayed against advice. The master told him that if anyone asked if something was his, he must not say yes. A thief exchanged shoes with the sleeping disciple and committed a murder. The disciple was arrested for the crime because he claimed the bloody shoes. He did not follow the Guru Vakya. The master saved them all through wisdom. Another story tells of a yogi asked by a hunter which way a deer ran. The yogi reasoned that his eyes saw but cannot speak, and his mouth can speak but did not see, creating a dilemma of truth. Right action depends on desa (place, situation) and kāla (time). This discernment is viveka, which is dharma. Dharma is protective intelligence, not merely religion. Follow a disciplined daily schedule, Dinacharya, as going against natural rhythms causes suffering for all beings. Your practice requires this discipline and viveka. Do not be swayed by what people will say, for they will always criticize. In a story, Shiva and Parvati tried different ways of traveling with their ox, and people found fault with every arrangement. Therefore, do your practice with certainty and without hesitation. Use your viveka for your life and deeds. "Guru Vakya is valid till the entire universe." "People will always say different than what you say." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Yoga is the singular path to oneness. All branches lead to the same unity. The Gopīs questioned the difference between yoga and separation, realizing both states ultimately return to one, yet unity brings bliss while separation brings sorrow. Historical ages emphasized different paths like Rāja, Jñāna, and Bhakti Yoga, but all converge. The essence is Karma Yoga: selfless action without expectation of reward. Such action burns the seeds of past karma. Performing duty for others purifies the heart. Even a small act, like moving a stone from a path, holds great power. One must act with discernment, knowing the true nature of one's actions to avoid illusion. Selfless service is the highest devotion, cleaning away karma and leading to unity. When the sense of duality and ego ceases, one walks the narrow path of love. "Yoga karmasu kauśalam, Arjuna. Your yoga practice will be successful through doing the karma, niṣkāma karma." "Bhagatīro dhan data dījī... I am not asking for wealth... but only I ask you, O Lord, for bhakti. And Bhakti means niṣkāma sevā." Filming locations: Jadan, Rajasthan, India.

The glory of Gaṇeśa signifies the principle of pure intellect and the removal of obstacles. Beginning any endeavor by remembering Gaṇeśa is a universal protocol for success. Gaṇeśa is the lord of all elements and functions, symbolizing pure buddhi or intellect. This intellect, when filled with positive spiritual knowledge, is wisdom; when corrupted by negative energies, it becomes lost and destructive. The highest human value is this transparent knowledge, love, and clarity. Our intellect can be influenced by surroundings and bad company, leading us astray from good thoughts and devotion. Therefore, one must pray for good intellect and seek shelter in the divine to be an instrument of service. "Jisko Prabhu Dharun Dukdehi, Uski Buddhi Pehle Hi Harlehi."

The mind is the basis of all human achievement, yet it is restless and demands constant nourishment. Humanity's drive to progress, seen in inventions like the internet, mirrors an inner desire to transcend limits. The mind's quality is perpetual activity; it is a field of thoughts, intellect, and emotions. Spiritual progress requires purifying this mind, which is best achieved through mantra practice. A mantra is a tool to liberate and discipline the mind, connecting the practitioner to a divine energy source. Its power is realized not by merely possessing it, but through consistent, aware practice, often aided by a mālā to maintain focus. Proper pronunciation is essential, as the sound carries a specific vibration that affects all levels of existence. Regular practice at set times disciplines the mind and allows the inherent qualities of the mantra to unfold. "Mind in Sanskrit terms means manas. 'Man' means mind, and 'tra' means to liberate—to liberate the mind." "Just to keep it in a box or on a paper will not help... But if we start to put it in the soil and attend to it properly, then it will give a very, very good harvest over time." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The aim of human life is health and Self-realization. First, realize you are a human, defined by divine qualities, not just the body. This precious body must be cared for to achieve the goal of Ātmā Jñāna. Modern comforts create dependency, making humans unhappy and ill, weakening our endurance. The body of five elements is a sādhanā, a medium for practice. Do not interrupt your sādhanā with laziness or doubt. Lifespan is shortening; we need healthy, organic food and Yoga. Yoga in Daily Life is a systematic program for all, designed over 45 years. Its principles are physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. Missing one means you are ill. Mental health is peace, love, and wise thoughts. Social health is supporting society. Spiritual health is purity. When these four are balanced, the path to Self-realization becomes clear. This system creates better humans, a better society, and a better world, starting from within. "Negative qualities make, in human form, asuras." "Love unites and hate divides, because hate is ignorance and that is a mental illness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Evening satsang with bajans in the memory of the Holy Mataji.

Brahman is the sole reality, the complete Pūrṇa from which all arises. As long as this completeness is unrealized, one dwells in duality, which is ignorance and the root of all suffering. The entire universe is this Pūrṇa; whatever is taken from it or remains is still Pūrṇa. The human birth is given as an instrument for sādhanā, the spiritual practice to realize the Self. Without this practice, one remains asleep in ignorance, chasing material ends. When the body dies, the soul enters a state like endless darkness, severed from all worldly relations. Time is fleeting; every second lost is gone forever. The urgency is to awaken from this sleep and realize one's true nature before death arrives. "Pūrṇam adaḥ, pūrṇam idam, pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate. Pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate." "Jag musāfir dekho, vo kāl kī motor ā rahī hai. Jo kuchh karnā hai so karle." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Drink the nectar of devotion from the saints' cup. This gathering is fortunate, abandoning the unfortunate through the abundant grace found with the great saints. The compassionate Giver erases the burdens of lifetimes and bestows everything, teaching through direct experience. True devotion to the Lord is the highest path, yet selfishness is universal and severed by divine teachings, which can extinguish the heart's lamp. One must navigate paradox: elements are both the self and needed, and physical forms are not true masters yet must not be rejected. The directive is to cross the ocean, remain immersed in reflection, and prepare for the flute's call, which plays not for one alone. "The compassionate One erases the burdens of countless lifetimes." "Do not turn your back on them, for they are not the true masters." Filming location: Rajasthan, India

Sanātana Dharma is the eternal truth recognizing the one Brahman within all existence. This reality is described in the ancient Vedas. The world is changeable, yet every atom represents that divine light. Spiritual wisdom cultivates equal vision, seeing beyond form to the inner essence. All genuine religious paths speak of the same omnipresent God. Life is structured into stages for study, household duties, gradual withdrawal, and final renunciation for self-realization. The philosophy of non-duality, taught by Ādi Śaṅkarācārya, affirms the oneness of all. Ceremonies, including those for passing, honor the divine light within. A Śakti Pīṭha is a sacred seat of divine energy, established where aspects of the universal Mother are revered. The final moments of a pure life are a divine convergence of karma and grace. "Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā. The Brahman is the final truth, and this world is Mithyā because it is changeable." "Spirituals are they, wise are they; kṣamā draṣṭi, śānti means kṣamā draṣṭi, and kṣamā draṣṭi means equal vision." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Mantra and bhakti create an inner peace that stabilizes all action. Pilgrimage shows collective devotion, but personal practice is an inner journey. A teacher's calm preserves a boxer's peaceful center amidst chaos; similarly, mantra maintains inner silence within life's disturbances. We cannot stop thoughts, but we can direct them with repetition toward our spiritual core. Spiritual practice is like preparing a field: the ground must be broken open to receive the rain. The Guru's blessing falls on everyone, but our preparation determines how much we absorb. Our negative qualities are like holes in a pot, leaking the stored nectar. We must constantly return to the mantra with compassion, using it to harvest the blessing within. "Boxing involves everything flying everywhere... But if there isn’t a peaceful center amidst all that movement, he cannot perform properly." "The Satguru came to this earth and showered upon us the rain of knowledge. It rains everywhere... Who receives what depends on us and how open our hearts are." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The science of yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness. Yoga is the eternal balancing principle in the universe, not a religion or dogma. The cosmic vibration, declared as OM, exists within and outside us. Human life is a precious chance within the cycle of rebirth. The human intellect can be trained endlessly, and dormant abilities within are connected to the cakras, or energy centers. The subtle body has 72,000 nāḍīs, or channels, for transmitting consciousness and energy. The mind functions between the subconscious and conscious, taking in impressions that become desires. The intellect's duty is to give judgment. We normally experience three levels of consciousness: waking, dream, and deep sleep. Past deeds create our destiny, or prārabdha karma. The Kuṇḍalinī energy and the cakra system are responsible for developing consciousness and freeing it from subconscious fears. The major nāḍīs are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā, balancing emotion and intellect. Haṭha Yoga unites these sympathetic and parasympathetic principles. The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process of becoming wise and calm, not a physical sensation. The cakras are located along the spinal column and are psychic energy centers. They are connected to the five elements and influence the body. Mastery leads towards liberation, the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. This requires lifelong practice and guidance. "Yoga is not a religion, it is not a philosophy, it is not a dogma, but it is the eternal principle in this universe." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process; you don't feel it as a physical sensation. You feel happy, as if in the lap of the mother." Filming location: Zagreb, Croatia DVD 188

The Self is the only reality, distinct from all transient forms and false identifications. You are not the physical body, the astral body, or any of the five sheaths. These are temporary and subject to change. The Ātman, your true Self, is eternal, unchanging, and identical with the universal principle, Īśvara. Duality is false; the perceived world is unreal in comparison to the absolute truth of Brahman. Attachment to the body and its experiences is ignorance, which causes all suffering. Do not waste time in argument or identification with the transient. Instead, discern the real from the unreal. Truth is the highest spiritual practice; untruth is the greatest sin. All apparent diversity, like various gold ornaments, shares one underlying reality. Fear and suffering arise from misperception, as mistaking a rope for a snake. Knowledge dispels this ignorance. Realize your true nature as bliss and consciousness itself. Be vigilant in each moment, abiding in the awareness of your immortal Self. "Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā. Brahman, the highest Self, is the truth, and the world is the unreality." "Your Self was never born and will never die. Everything that happens is merely external, and what you see is only your ignorance." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 187b

Two paths define human life: one of passive acceptance, the other of conscious purpose. The first path sees all as equal nonsense, leading to a life of simple existence. The second recognizes human life's unique value and the pressing limit of time. Time is the ocean's wave, destiny itself, beating upon our life. We dwell in a world of change and separation, where all that gathers must disperse. To live consciously is to act with reflection, despite frequent failure. Greatness lies in purposeful living and contemplating life's true aim. Even the body defies our command, illustrating our fundamental lack of control. Life is transient, its end unknown, like a leaf severed by the wind. Therefore, act now; consciousness of time makes one a winner. Liberation, Mokṣa, is freedom from the chain of karma. Our journey flows between the banks of joy and sorrow. Cease fighting for what is not yours. Awaken to knowledge, which is the only permanent help. Inspire others toward self-realization, for an awakened one can warn the sleeping of danger. "The leaf has fallen from the branch, and the wind has carried it away; when will we meet again, now that we are separated by distance?" "The wind supports the fire, the spark, in growing large. But it blows out the flames of a lamp because the flame is weaker." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 187a

The spiritual path is about being, not evaluating. Do not seek to perceive your own progress, as that stems from ego. Your task is simply to be the diamond—the inherently valuable spiritual Self. A diamond does not question its nature or value; it simply is. Your circumstances, whether exalted or humble, do not alter your essence. Live according to divine will, unattached to outcomes or the recognition of others. Spiritual wealth, like mantra repetitions, is immeasurable; entrust the accounting to Providence. The human body and the Ātman are the true diamonds. Discipline is essential: control your mental fluctuations (vṛttis), for thoughts become words and actions, which create karma. A master can only point the way; you must take the steps. Do not compare your journey to others'. All paths can lead to the goal, but correct direction requires your conscious effort. Practice continuously without doubt or self-assessment until realization dawns. "Therefore, do not think about how valuable you are. Do not wonder if you are a diamond. Just think and be a diamond." "Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind. You should control your vṛttis through your yoga." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 186b

Yoga is a lifelong path where progress is often first seen in physical health. Systematic daily practice brings noticeable improvement within days, while neglect quickly reverses it. Practice must be balanced like daily nourishment, tailored to one's own capacity. This discipline calms the nerves, improves breathing, mobility, and circulation. Yoga therapy utilizes the five elements composing our body: earth, water, fire, air, and space. For repair, use these same materials. A warm earth pack can relieve knee pain by improving circulation. A cool earth cap can draw excess heat from a stressed head. A warm abdominal compress can support weak digestive fire. While these natural therapies resolve many issues, some conditions still require surgery. The intellect must always judge the correct application. "Yoga exercises, breathing exercises, physical exercises, and relaxation should be a daily nourishment for the body." "If something is not right in the body, the Yogi says to use these same materials to repair it or make it healthier." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 186a

The glory of God is endless and His divine play pervades the entire universe. Śiva is indescribable consciousness, liberation, beauty, and truth. Devotion to Śiva provides protection, as all forces are controlled by Him. The Vedas themselves cannot fully describe His glory. In satsaṅg, the sage Bharadvāja was overwhelmed with joy, his love so profound it surpassed speech. This spiritual gathering is the tonic that clarifies consciousness and remedies inner suffering. To be spiritual light requires constant self-surrender, like a wick burning itself. True devotion harmonizes; loving Śiva is inseparable from loving Rāma, as each divinity cherishes the other. Speak words that are sweet and nourishing, like ripe fruit, not like dirt. "Śiva means consciousness. Śiva means liberation. Śiva means beauty." "To be a light means you have to become a dot. The dot has to burn itself constantly." DVD 185b

The aim of all endeavor is self-realization, to escape the cycle of rebirth. The true self is like limitless, indestructible space, while the individual self is a limited mixture of spirit and matter, bound by ego and ignorance. Suffering arises from this ignorance. All spiritual practice serves to inspire the realization of one's true nature, which ends karma and destiny. Life is a struggle between positive and negative influences; one must choose where to place attention. The mind creates one's reality and suffering. One cannot escape the mind, but must master it through positive thinking and spiritual practice. Changing one's thinking is the only way to change one's situation. "Everything you have is created by your mind. As you think, so you are." "If you are unhappy or in trouble, there is nothing to change but your thinking." DVD 185a
