There is one Soul

8:05 - 9:28|Recorded on 24 Mar 2019
The sacred conch embodies the primordial sound from which all creation emerges. This resonance, Nāda Rūpa Parabrahma, is the Supreme's cosmic sound. Everything originates from and merges back into this sound, resolving duality into oneness. The five elements—space, fire, air, water, earth—manifest from this resonance. Life developed within these elements, with the human form arriving late. The soul is a singular essence within all manifestations, from stones to vegetation to creatures. Current existence is in Kali Yuga, an age marked by diminished love and widespread cruelty. Through spiritual practice, mercy, and understanding, one can purify the soul and ultimately merge with the divine light, transcending the cycle of suffering and separation. The journey requires moving through the sun, a rare and difficult passage to oneness. "Everything comes through sound, and it merges into sound. Duality resolves into the unity of the Supreme." "Our soul is one, but how our soul will come to purity is a long, long way."

Questions and answers from Debrecen

9:35 - 10:15 | From: 11 Jun 2017
A yogic path integrates self-sufficient living with disciplined practice. Begin a farm with both greenhouse and organic garden crops, developing it from a hobby into a community offering yoga retreats. The first spiritual step is dietary control: consume limited, home-prepared meals without sweets or junk food. Fast for four to five hours between meals, consuming only water. This discipline eliminates most bodily difficulties, strengthens immunity, and supports meditation, which requires a mantra. Prāṇāyāma cleanses physical diseases, and satsaṅg with virtuous friends is essential. Avoid all intoxicants, as they embody destructive energies. Prefer local, seasonal, organic produce; soy is nutritious only if organic. Raw milk is healthful, but regulations sometimes adulterate it. True practice requires organizing life around these principles. "Meditation without a mantra is a body without a soul." "Prāṇāyāma will tell them, 'Get out of this body! What are you doing here?'"

Support the flame of life within you

10:20 - 11:07 | From: 22 Mar 2017
The inner fire of tapasyā purifies the self through renunciation and steadfastness. All experiences—good and bad—arise from within our own consciousness, not from external sources. We project our inner negativity onto others, but blaming others only multiplies those negative qualities within our own awareness. True renunciation means letting go of attachment, anger, hate, and desire. Tapasyā is the inner fire that burns away all that is temporary and negative. This spiritual discipline does not require a remote location; it can be practiced wherever you live. Your consistent practice can make your own dwelling a holy place, radiating spiritual energy. The mind is restless and deceptive, like a reflection you cannot grasp directly; you must go beyond it. Your mantra and inner will are your supports. Ultimately, you alone must walk the path to quench your spiritual thirst; the source will not come to you. Happiness and divinity are already within you, given freely. "Everything is within us. Be happy with this. And if there is weakness, then pray for that energy." "Tapasyā is a fire which burns all negative qualities; everything burns. Fire is one of the best elements which purifies everything." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Prana and Soul

11:15 - 11:51 | From: 8 Feb 2018
The prāṇa is life, and its management is the art of living. Ten prāṇas function within the body, with Prāṇa and Apāna being most crucial for inhalation and expulsion. Their meeting at the navel can awaken Kuṇḍalinī. Prāṇa is the guard of the soul; if prāṇa is lost but the soul remains, medical science may restore life, but it cannot if the soul departs. Pure prāṇa ensures health, our primary wealth. Health exists across five bodily layers, starting with nourishment from food. Fresh food retains prāṇa; overcooking destroys it. Cook vegetables with spices and water in a covered pot with minimal oil or ghee. Āyurveda favors ghee over oil for internal use. Chemical medicines can save lives but cause side effects, as they are foreign to the body's nature. Our long intestines are designed to process food, but poor diet harms them. Prāṇa leads to higher consciousness. Practice Prāṇāyāma and eat consciously. Avoid junk food, which becomes foul when chewed, and avoid alcohol, a destructive drug despite its medicinal origins. Choose a balanced, yogic life for longevity and happiness. "Prāṇa is life, and life is prāṇa. We can compare our prāṇa to our soul." "The first happiness or first wealth is good health."

How to find peace

11:55 - 12:55 | From: 4 Feb 2017
The path to peace, memory, and fearlessness is found through yogic health. Peace begins within the heart and cannot be gained from outside. A primary cause of disease and nervousness is stress from an imbalanced nervous system. Health requires disciplined nourishment. Practice Alpāhāra, eating little. After a meal, eat nothing for six hours, only water. This gives the digestive system rest. A healthy body sleeps well, a sign of peace. Memory is connected to the Mūlādhāra cakra. Practice Aśvinī Mudrā to strengthen the nervous system and develop memory. Practice Kapālabhāti Prāṇāyāma to activate the brain. Perform Śaṅkhaprakṣālana for internal purification. Health is primarily in your hands through practice. Control the diet, reduce quantity, and peace will follow. "Śānti is within your heart. Peace begins from our heart." "Eat as much as you can. But then, for six hours, nothing to eat."

Achievement Ends All Struggling

18:45 - 19:13 | From 1 Nov 2007
The spiritual journey is a process of uninterrupted development toward fruition, akin to a fruit ripening on a tree. Achievement ends the path and all struggle. This process requires continuity; any interruption—a lack of discipline, devotion, or exposure to bad company—spoils the development, just as a single wasp sting ruins an apple. Your life phase does not matter; the process must continue. This demands detachment and the endurance to face all situations. It requires devotion, a final decision where your entire being belongs to that point. Doubt is losing. Many begin and stop, thinking home practice is enough, but they fall out. Coming together for spiritual discourse and the grace of seeing the teacher is incomparable; it is like rain for thirsty plants. Never think you know much; what you know is nothing. A seeker constantly moves forward despite the changing body and mind. Do not stop out of laziness or excuses like money; work and attend. If you stop practicing, you alone lose. Our gatherings provide inspiration and grace beyond daily practice. Make your resolve today to begin with yoga, then life. In every center, engage with sacred texts and deeply contemplate the teachings. "Gurudev darśan dhan ho." Darśan is very important. Darśan is like rain for thirsty plants. "I know that I don't know."

Spirit, Mind and Soul

20:40 - 21:28 | From 1 Jun 2009
Spiritual practice requires confronting the impurities that veil the soul. Spirituality is the radiance of a pure soul, expressed as harmony. Impurities accumulate as layers over the soul through negative thoughts, words, and deeds. These obstacles are classified as mala, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. Mala is physical, mental, and intellectual impurity; without purification, practice is futile. Vikṣepa is the disturbance of doubt, which destroys trust and confidence. Āvaraṇa is the curtain of ignorance built by negative actions, preventing the spirit's true expression. Lifetimes of learning are but a speck of dust compared to the totality of knowledge. Therefore, one must always be ready to learn and surrender with humility. An inner journey is required to cleanse the five qualities of anger, jealousy, hate, conflict, and doubt. Only then can one become master of oneself. "Only external purity has little meaning." "What you have learned is only this much dust of the Himalayas. What you wish to learn is the entire Himalaya."

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
