Ashram needs dedication

15:55 - 16:56|Recorded on 1 Nov 2005
Seva, or selfless service, is the highest spiritual practice. Karma Yoga, the yoga of action, is the most accessible path. It involves using one's abilities for the benefit of others, leading toward liberation. God incarnates to perform seva, and saints hold a unique power to alter destiny through compassion. True service requires dedication and freedom from jealousy, which harms both the giver and receiver. The foundation of all seva begins with honoring one's parents, the primary pilgrimage. Cultivating pure relationships through selfless action is the essence of yoga in daily life. "Gurujī used to say that if you put Mokṣa on one side of a scale and Seva on the other, the side of Seva would be heavier." "Whoever can perform Seva achieves everything."

Around the world - Yoga in Slovakia

17:00 - 18:37 | From: 5 Jun 2011
Simple living and inner peace are found through conscious practices that connect us to our divine essence. Modern life creates stress by distancing us from natural simplicity. Media consumption replaces true connection with nature and others. A healthy lifestyle requires deep contemplation on nourishment, breath, and movement. What we eat carries vibrational information; vegetarian food supports non-aggression. Conscious breathing connects us to prāṇa, the source of all change. Prayer positively charges the water within our bodies. Concentration techniques, like observing the breath or a candle flame, cultivate inner stillness. By mastering simple techniques, we find calm at the center of life's activity and transform our lives. "Go and teach people the technique of simple life, simple being." "In action, one sees the people; and in stillness, one sees the action—truly, that one is wise." Filming locations: Prešov Yoga Center, Prešov, Slovakia.

We are all in God

18:40 - 19:13 | From: 15 Mar 2020
Prayer is the greatest power and the best medicine. We pray for all suffering from this disease, for innocent animals and people, that they may be forgiven. All creatures are powerless, but God is there. In God's house there is delay, but no darkness; truth emerges. We should not torture animals or humans. We are all brothers and sisters, sharing one earth. Perhaps animal suffering caused this. Vegetarianism from birth matters—not temporary abstention. Eggs are unhealthy; consider how chickens are treated. Bread and salt are holy; respect them. Eating habits cause disease. The human digestive system is long, food stays for days. Eat less to preserve prana. Politicians are working hard. We should relax, be positive, and pray. Prayer is the biggest thing. "Prayer is one of the greatest powers and the best medicine." "In God's house there may be delay, but there is no darkness, and so the truth comes out." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Everything is in your hands

19:15 - 19:50 | From: 5 Feb 2001
The initiation of eight sannyāsīs was a highlight. The Master decides readiness; these were not easy individuals, each a long effort to guide. One is profoundly honest, immediately embodying the role. Another prepared for decades through hardship. Three were from Australia, one from Israel, and one Indian who left too quickly. The final one is a devoted and humble soul. Your spiritual progress is ultimately in your own hands. Teachers and masters can only support you; the decisive action is yours. A story illustrates this: disciples, jealous of their Master, trap a bird and ask if it is alive or dead. The Master replies its fate is in their hands. Your liberation, like the bird's life, depends on your decisions. Do not delay in good actions. Regarding dress, disciples should wear white; sannyāsīs wear orange. Becoming a sannyāsī is serious, not a fashion; it helps carry the spiritual light but requires true readiness and independence. "Master, if you know everything, then tell us what is in my hand." "My son, whether this bird is alive or dead depends on your hands." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 180b

The Fourth Sri Swami Maheshwaranands Festival of Spiritual Music (4/4)

21:30 - 22:40 | From 7 Sep 2025
Worldly life is impermanent, and the only true refuge is in the saint. All worldly relationships and possessions are temporary. The body is a temporary guesthouse, and the mind is a fleeting traveler. Wealth, family, and status are all subject to change and loss. This impermanence is the source of all suffering. The only permanent shelter is found in the company and grace of the true saint. The saint's teachings and divine name are the sole anchors in this transient existence. By taking refuge in the saint, one transcends the cycle of birth and death. "Everything in this world is temporary; only the saint's refuge is permanent." "Without the saint's refuge, there is no peace, only the endless cycle of suffering." Filming location: Slovenia

The infinite love and blessing of Vishwaguruji

From 1 Dec 2024
The Guru is the only one near God and understands all. You are all brothers and sisters. God has done everything well, providing this space. The Guru is the highest and will do everything. God resides within you; your true nature is happiness. The beautiful pillars signify God resetting the foundations. You are everything. I have given you all knowledge. I do nothing; you do everything. The knowledge spoken here is the same as in the Bhagavad Gītā, leading to the Supreme God. "I am not the Guru; Swāmījī is the Guru." "I have given you everything. May you get everything that you want." Filming location: Slovenska Vas, Slovenia

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
