Practice from Wellington with MM Vivekpuri

6:00 - 6:59|Recorded on 11 May 2013
The body is the foundation for calming the mind. A restless mind creates a restless body, just as boiling water makes a pot shake. Yoga aims to still these thought waves, citta-vṛtti, to reveal the true self within. Directly calming the mind is difficult, so we begin with the body. Through āsanas and movement, we influence the mind toward stillness. Awareness of the breath is a scientific method; focusing on it activates brain centers for relaxation. Each posture is an experiment in awareness, balancing the body and mind. This mindful practice is itself a form of meditation. "Yogaḥ Citta Vṛtti Nirodhaḥ... yoga starts when we calm down this citta-vṛtti, these thought waves." "When we are aware of our breathing process... immediately after a few seconds... you will become more and more relaxed."

Aim of the Master

7:05 - 7:45 | From: 1 Aug 2014
The living transmission of knowledge requires a master, a disciple, and the spoken wisdom. A technique dies if not passed on. The master aims to make the disciple a master, surpassing the philosopher's stone which only transforms. Good qualities must be transmitted to be perfected. This process is defined by Śruti, Śrotriya, and Śrota. Śruti is the authentic scripture. The Śrotriya is the master who understands and explains it. The Śrota is the listening disciple. Without this chain, knowledge is lost. Reading a book differs from learning from a realized teacher. The transmission must be accurate to become Smṛti, or remembered tradition. This system upgrades spiritual understanding. What you receive, you must give. This protects and elevates all. "Śruti is that which is taught by the Master." "A Satguru is one who is Brahmaniṣṭha—a knower, a realizer of Brahman. He is the Śrotriya who can speak about Brahman." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Thirsty Horse and the Path of Spirituality

7:50 - 8:42 | From: 19 Aug 2018
The human soul seeks direction amidst universal stress, which persists from childhood through old age despite our efforts. We are like a thirsty horse frightened by the noise of a water pump; to drink, we must accept the noise. Our spiritual thirst must be quenched within the world's clamor. Time is an unstoppable reality, and individual karma is an inescapable truth that guides our journey. Good and bad actions create impressions upon the soul. The mind and its desires bind us, as illustrated by the transformations of Vālmīki and Tulsīdās. Liberation requires dedicated practice without proclaiming spiritual attainments, for such claims dissipate power. We must walk the path with humility, performing our duties while maintaining spiritual focus. "Time will not wait for us. It does not matter who is who." "Karma goes with us like the shadow of our body." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Chandra Bhedan Pranayam

8:50 - 9:48 | From: 29 Jun 2016
Prāṇāyāma is a vital science for harmonizing body, mind, and soul. Many practitioners are unfamiliar with yogic terms like prāṇāyāma, mistaking yoga for mere physical exercise. A complete system includes āsanas, breathwork, and meditation for holistic health. Prāṇa is life force, inhaled through the entire body, not just the nostrils. The mind's principle is the moon, symbolizing emotion and change. Prāṇāyāma practice begins with the left nostril, associated with the iḍā nāḍī and the moon, to calm emotions, reduce anxiety, and prevent psychic blockages. This practice balances the subtle energies, supports heart health, and develops concentration. Proper technique requires a straight posture without shoulder movement. Mastery leads to deeper practices like svara yoga, aligning breath with spiritual awareness. "Prāṇāyāma is life. When we inhale through the left nostril, why do we begin with the left? The left nostril is called the moon, balancing the moon." "Prāṇāyāma with the left nostril. Learn first step by step. It controls our emotions. It controls our everything, the restlessness."

Merging into light

9:55 - 10:45 | From: 29 Jul 2014
Truly, there is no inherently bad day; only unfortunate events occur. All creation holds beauty that requires care, from plants to furniture. When something cherished is lost, sadness arises. Objects touched by a holy one carry value because of that personality, not money. Negative thinking alone is bad; before judging, negativity already dwells within. The wise do not grieve because the soul is immortal. Without knowledge of the soul, attachment to form causes sorrow. A saint’s passing is a merging into Brahman, not cause for sadness. The sixteenth day is marked by Sorsi Bandhara, a feast with gifts and pusp anjali. This offering of flowers connects to the sixteen siddhis of attainment. The moon’s sixteen kalas influence plant growth and immunity. Planting during the waxing moon yields stronger, pest-resistant plants. Devpuriji possessed such light that he could appear in multiple places simultaneously. He once appeared to Holi Guruji, saying he was going to Europe to help. Immortal saints are present wherever remembered; they never leave. Yet the physical heart still feels longing, for love is boundless. “Anything that has touched your Gurudev, keep it, for one day he or she will no longer be here. But you will treasure that it was her or his blessing.” “I am going to Mahesh… to Europe… but on the way, I saw you sitting here, so I stopped just to bless you.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Highlights

Navabda Bhakti I

13:00 - 13:53 | From 1 Aug 2008
A new education is needed to awaken universal love and spiritual consciousness for world peace. This education must be free, not one-sided, teaching respect for all religions, cultures, and laws. Humans are born for spirituality; it alone saves the world and awakens consciousness. The difference from other creatures is improving spirituality for God Realization. Spiritual consciousness creates sustainability and protects the planet. It begins with educating children and awakening through bhakti, which is love. The tree gives fruit even to one who throws a stone, embodying oneness without dualities. Inner peace is required for world peace. The heart beats only for the one Self; there is no two, only one God, one truth, one love in many forms. One must accept all spiritual paths. Spiritual growth, not economic growth, solves global problems. This is cultivated through practices like satsaṅg and the ninefold path of devotion, which includes universal fellowship, listening to divine glories, maintaining faith, and worshipping God. "Love your neighbor means to love all creatures as your own body. Every entity is myself." "Spiritual consciousness is the answer for a sustainable world. It is essential for bringing peace and for creating a human education that helps us realize our humanity." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 477

10:50 - 11:51 | From 27 Jan 2026

The talk emphasizes personal responsibility, the impermanent nature of problems, and the ultimate goal of liberation (mokṣa) through practices like mantra and meditation.

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
