Protect is in protect

10:45 - 11:36|Recorded on 20 Dec 2020
A global crisis prompts reflection on humanity's unique spiritual and physical condition. Why does a pandemic target humans specifically, across all nations and beliefs? All creatures possess the same fundamental layers of existence, yet humans alone wield the power of action beyond mere survival. This century's afflictions stem from human karma. The widespread turn to meat consumption after the world wars, increased alcohol use, and the industrial production of food have introduced disease. Consuming such nourishment stores illness within, which may emerge later in life. Even vegetables now contain chemicals. The suffering we see originates from human actions, creating a poisoned environment. This is the age of Kali Yuga, where negative forces are prominent. True religion is self-control, and real yoga extends far beyond physical postures. We must first ensure our own spiritual protection to safeguard others. A great conjunction of planets is occurring, a rare celestial event. The coming Satya Yuga is governed by a divine timescale vastly different from our own. Ultimately, all paths return to the yogic essence within. "Slowly, attacks come. It is like a beautiful, big tree: one or two bugs enter, then slowly worms multiply and eat the entire trunk from within." "Practice yoga and daily life, and sleep very peacefully. Look inside; see what will be good. You will be protected." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Calming down the vrittis

11:40 - 12:33 | From: 9 Feb 2018
Yoga is the stilling of the mind's modifications. Discipline in all aspects of life is the foundation. The mind's thoughts are like waves in a pond; a single ripple obscures clarity. As long as thoughts are unpeaceful, meditation is not present. To calm the vṛttis, one must practice and seek solitude. A retreat to a peaceful natural place allows the system to recharge and quiet. The practice of Brahmari Pranayama specifically calms the brain and sharpens the senses through sound vibration. This sound connects to the primordial Om, the formless source of all creation. Everything visible and invisible arises from this sound. "Yogaḥ citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ: through the practice of yoga, you can calm down all your thoughts, your vṛttis." "Everything—all that is visible, invisible, hearing, tasting, feeling—all this is only from one source: from the Aum, the sound."

Repeat the name of Gurudev

12:40 - 13:07 | From: 15 Dec 2023
The human birth is a rare and urgent opportunity. The scriptures and all aspects of existence point to a single imperative. The sole necessity is to fix the mind upon the Guru's name. This precious human form is exceedingly difficult to obtain again. One must become truly human in this very moment. By being steadfast in this practice, the vision of the true Self is attained. Do not waste this fleeting chance. "Oh lamp of qualities, Hari, fix your mind on the Guru’s name. This opportunity will not come again; be human." "This is the totality of knowledge: to be human."

Remain pure

13:15 - 14:04 | From: 8 Sep 2023
The path requires strict dietary purity to achieve divine union. Impure food breaks spiritual progress and creates obstacles. A family must be united in this purity, especially when raising children, to become a whole pure unit. Lapses can lead to karmic consequences in future lives. One must remain strong in personal discipline even when surrounded by those who do not follow it. True aspirants and sādhus embody this complete purity. Internal cleansing of the chakras is essential, leading to the union of will within. The ultimate reality is the divine union of male and female principles, Śiva and Śakti, from which all creation emerges. This truth must be made clear and displayed for all to understand. "I cannot give Him to you; I can only help you." "It is said that when it is taken, like this side, meat and this and that, then it will give you back again in another life."

The Law of Karma: Our First Guru

14:10 - 15:05 | From: 28 Feb 2015
The law of karma is the fundamental principle governing life and our first spiritual teacher. Karma means action, a universal law of cause and effect like gravity. It operates through body, speech, mind, and wealth or position. Physical acts are obvious, but mental activities and emotions create even stronger karma. Using wealth or authority to instigate action generates multiplied karma for the instigator. This world is Karma Bhūmi, where we experience, create, and purify karma. The law's purpose is pedagogical, teaching through consequences to overcome negative qualities like selfishness and develop positive ones like compassion. It is a slow and often painful teacher, leading one to seek ethical guidelines and ultimately a guru for clearer guidance. Karma is stored as subtle vibrations in the causal body, accompanying the soul and necessitating reincarnation until all karmas are purified. "Who cannot give life has not the right to take life." "The law of karma is our first guru." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Highlights

Mahaprabhuji is the ocean of light

18:15 - 19:14 | From 1 Jun 2009
Yoga originates from the divine. Śiva, the self-manifested source, initiated creation. He brought forth Viṣṇu and Brahmā, bestowing yoga vidyā upon this world. The sacred Sanskrit language arises from universal resonance. India is the holy land of countless incarnations, a spiritual tree bearing infinite fruit. Modern India now pursues materialism, neglecting its ancient wisdom. Yoga, though universal, is often reduced to mere exercise or therapy, losing its sacred essence. Yet, every teacher promoting health and peace performs good work. True yoga integrates the spiritual, physical, and mental. Discipline and adherence to the Guru's word are essential. The power of divine names and remembrance can bring healing and liberation. A master's strictness, like the ocean's calm depths beneath turbulent waves, is necessary for guidance. "Yoga in daily life, it is unique. It has many, many techniques. So it is spiritual, physical, mental, social, and so on." "Alone, while practicing Khatu Pranām, you think of Khatu or Mahāprabhujī, half the disease will disappear by itself." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 544

Organic farming in Netherlands

From 3 Aug 2023
A farm's journey from industrial production to living in harmony with nature. The operation shifted from unprofitable mass cultivation to a diverse, organic system. This includes greenhouses using rainwater and biological pest controls. A large food forest integrates vegetables, fruit trees, and nitrogen-fixing plants. The focus is on sustainability, natural cycles, and creating a resilient ecosystem. The work is driven by passion and a good feeling, valued more than financial return alone. The aim is to grow healthy food while enhancing the land for the future. "Nature can do a lot. So, if a plant is sick, then it can make itself better." "It is much more important than money: a good feeling, nice to be busy with your passion." Filming location: Netherlands
