Mantra creates balance

9:55 - 10:50|Recorded on 27 Nov 2014
A mantra is the essence of all wisdom, a tool for updating and balancing our entire being. It is a light and a leader. All spiritual practices are blessings for human well-being, aiming to cultivate compassion for all creation. Dharma is not religion but the inherent function and harmony of all things, from the body's systems to the growth of a plant. The root of dharma is mercy, dayā. Without compassion, one cannot protect the eternal harmony, sanātana. Ego and pride are the roots of sin. Understanding, not judgment, is key. Do not give up compassion as long as you live. Mantra practice purifies and integrates us through specific stages: written, chanted, whispered, mental, and finally automatic repetition. The guru's word is foundational. A mantra received from a guru is for life; its power depends on the disciple's receptivity and the removal of negative thoughts, which create severe karmic burdens. True meditation arises from this mastered practice, not from idle sitting. The protective grace of the guru and mantra is real, but one must rise above personal negativity and live in harmony. "Dharma kā mūl hai dayā. Pāpa mūla abhimāna." "Without mantra, meditation is like a body without a soul." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

What have you done for others?

10:55 - 11:40 | From: 1 Jul 2018
The path to spiritual completeness is taken step by step. The aim is self-realization, to reach the divine light within. One must focus on this ultimate aim, yet not miss the path by focusing only on the end. Progress requires knowing your present situation clearly. Identify a single weakness and take a vow to cultivate its opposite quality. Transformation happens gradually through persistent practice, not by jumping ahead. The Guru provides tools and guidance, but the work must be done by oneself. True growth comes from doing, not merely listening or reading. We are all connected divine souls on the same journey. Spread love through awareness and simple acts of kindness. At life's end, the essential question will be what you did for others. Shine your light by example, not by forcing others. "Don’t expect that in this life you will realize God. It can be, but don’t expect it. We have to go only step by step and put all our energy inside." "At the end of our life, God will not ask you how many big books you read... But you know what He will ask? What have you done for others?"

We should understand the Yoga

11:45 - 12:38 | From: 1 Jul 2019
The path of yoga integrates hearing, memory, and consistent practice. Śruti is what is heard; Smṛti is memory. Memory alone is insufficient, like transient clouds. Theoretical knowledge from lectures and books is not enough. The practical application of knowledge, shared within the guru-paramparā, is substantial. Practice must be daily, like watering a plant, or knowledge is lost. Yoga in Daily Life is a scientific system encompassing many paths like Haṭha, Kriyā, and Bhakti Yoga. The goal is not merely physical health from āsana but spiritual growth through meditation on the chakras and Kuṇḍalinī, leading to higher consciousness. Do not neglect practice for teaching, and honor the connection with parents and elders. "Memory is within us. The theory is just like clouds that come and go." "If we do not practice, then our memory, smṛti, will go." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Be the Tree of Compassion

12:45 - 13:39 | From: 1 Oct 2006
God speaks through the human heart as a divine instrument. God is in every heart, but adoration goes to the heart through which God speaks to the world. To share that wisdom is a blessing. Our duty is to serve and protect all. When you work selflessly as a karma yogī, you become God's instrument. Though you have limits, extra energy comes, and you enjoy the service; this is God consciously working through you. Like a runner's high, selfless work awakens extra spirituality. Be like a great tree offering shade and fruit to all, not a barren palm tree. Joy is in giving. As you give, you receive manifold. If you give unkind words, you suffer more inside. If you give kindness, you have inner peace. Serve until your last breath. To be a teacher of this wisdom is to be a channel of God's love through practical help. You never know if you will get such a life again. Protect the dignity of your origins and serve all. "Baḍā huā to kyā huā, jaise ped khajūr. Panthī ko chāyā nahī̃." "Service to all creatures is service to me." Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia DVD 305

The Bamboo and the Roots of Sādhanā

14:40 - 15:01 | From 5 Jul 2026
Sādhanā grows like bamboo—invisible roots deepening long before any shoot appears. Patience is essential. The fruit of patience is sweeter. Our kriyās, mantras, and sādhanā create deep roots in consciousness. Harmony and unity are what this community needs now. A great being helps others, not themselves. That is not svadharma. If they wished, healing would take a millisecond. Now they rest, watching, testing how the work continues. The seed was planted and watered. Now maintenance is needed. Taking care of what exists is enough. Upholding this requires everyone. The older generation must train the younger. We rely on each other. An āśram functions through volunteer service, karma yoga, sevā. Without harmony, inner peace means nothing. This is one family across all countries. Come to āśrams because they are home. Support each other’s centers. Even a brief visit uplifts. There is no language barrier—feelings are understood. Keep this family together through unity, not individuality. The community must come as one united divine force. "Sabar kā phal mīṭhā hotā, which means the fruit of patience is always much sweeter." "Yogīs, Mahāpuruṣas, they help others; they do not help themselves. It is not svadharma, it is paradharma." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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
