Causes of our tensions

13:55 - 14:47|Recorded on 16 Dec 2017
Every evening should be dedicated to beauty and goodness, free from sorrow and negativity. Our topic is anti-stress through Yoga in Daily Life, a holistic system for wisdom, joy, and bliss. In this age, negative energies like hatred arise from dualism based on culture or religion, creating fear and conflict within families and society. These negative thoughts can manifest as disease. Stress comes from craving and overwork without boundaries. Material gains are left behind; only our good or negative thoughts and deeds accompany the soul, leading it upward or into darkness. These are our mental impressions, purified through mantra, prayer, and divine grace. Be fully human; let the first morning thought be "I am a human being," dissolving stress and awakening love. Live with constant vigilance in all actions and associations. Let positive thoughts flow like pure water, cleansing illness and allowing bliss. Be like a tree, giving freely without anger. Be free like a bird, moving in joy. Unite with the divine in peace. "Yoga in Daily Life is a system of wholeness. It touches our heart. It gives us a wisdom filled with joy, harmony, and bliss." "Only good thoughts, good deeds or negatives... lead our consciousness to the higher levels... or goes towards the darkness." Filming locations: Salzburg, Salzburg, Austria.

Ujjayi Pranayam

14:55 - 15:51 | From: 3 Jul 2016
Ujjāyī Prāṇāyāma is a meditation technique that leads to sahaja samādhi and self-inquiry. The practice involves inhaling through both nostrils and exhaling through the mouth slowly. Apply ujjāyī mudrā by pressing the chin toward the chest. Breathe deeply, aware of the breath ascending and descending between the navel and the eyebrow center. Feel fresh cool air on inhalation from Ājñā Cakra to Maṇipūra, and warm air on the lower lip during exhalation. This prāṇāyāma strengthens organs, supplies maximum oxygen, and brings physical health. It calms the vṛttis, making the mind peaceful. The body is like a vessel; the mind is like water within. If the vessel is steady, the mind becomes steady. Mastering the body means mastering the mind. The practice leads to sahaja samādhi, a temporary spontaneous absorption. It deepens one within, feeling one with the self. It is a technique for self-inquiry, ātmā anubhūti. It also develops willpower through saṅkalpa. One should remember the saṅkalpa and pray for protection of the spiritual path. The practice includes relaxing the body, no movement, and normalizing breath after deep cycles. Ultimately, it leads to meditation on the self and peace for all creation. "This kind of prāṇāyāma leads us to sahaja samādhi, spontaneous coming to the samādhi that is temporary." "The body is like a vessel, like a pot. And the mind is like water. If the pot is moving, the water is also moving. If the pot is steady, then the mind is also steady." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Yoga is for the whole Earth

15:55 - 16:28 | From: 18 Jul 2021
A story illustrates human kindness and the universal essence of yoga. A medical situation in India prompted an immediate and coordinated response from contacts in Austria, arranging care and transport. This demonstrated a system where care is provided without discrimination, solely based on shared humanity. The event highlights a principle: we must take care of humans. The current age, Kali Yuga, is marked by division and the ego's declaration of "I am the best." Yoga is the means to cleanse the mind, and it is for all life, not any single country or religion. Yogic postures are inspired by nature—trees and animals. We cannot correct others, only ourselves. The correction begins by affirming "I am human" and recognizing our connection to all. "Yoga is life, for the whole earth." "There was no one word, religion, in Satyuga, Dvāparayuga, Tretāyuga." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Continue Your sadhana

16:30 - 16:58 | From: 1 Nov 2006
The continuity of spiritual practice requires unwavering motivation and love, which are easily lost. Many begin practices but fail to maintain them, like teachers who instruct yet do not practice themselves. Starting is easy, like building a house, but continuation demands inner effort. Your aim provides motivation; losing it means losing your path. Sādhanā is the bucket to draw water from the well, and motivation is the rope. If the rope of willpower breaks near the top, all progress is lost. Negative thinking rots this rope. Doubt is a bacterium that can kill mighty motivation. A story tells of a yogi ready to quit after forty fruitless years. Watching an ant persistently carry a grain up a tree, falling and trying again, taught him never to give up. Life has problems and noise, like a water pump; to have water, you must accept the noise. Problems are the school of life and will never be fully solved. Therefore, you must find time for sādhanā. When love is lost, everything is lost. Water your practice with love, care, and wisdom, as a dry plant revives with water, light, and fertilizer. This harmony for body, mind, and soul is possible only if you do it. "Your negative thinking towards your aim is very bad. You should not have this thinking." "Love is lost; everything is lost. Then you have no motivation." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 311

Around the world - Opening of new YIDL center in Ptuj, Slovenia

17:00 - 17:38 | From: 18 May 2018
We mark 25 years of teaching Yoga in Daily Life here, a voluntary mission from an authentic Indian school. We secured our own space, now becoming a blessed ashram. We have brought yoga to schools, libraries, and communities for all ages through dedicated effort. Yoga is ancient, a science of body, mind, and soul, intertwined with Āyurveda as natural knowledge for health. It is not passive meditation but active practice for concentration and peace. Its universal message is recognized internationally. We must return to natural living, embracing yoga and Āyurveda for well-being, seeing all cultures and people as one family under God. "Yoga is the science of body, mind, and soul." "Vasudhaiva Kuṭumbakam,' which means the whole world is one family." Filming location: Slovenia

The True Pilgrimage

22:45 - 0:00 | From 8 Jun 2025
The true pilgrimage is to the Guru's feet. The aim of all pilgrimage is where the Guru lives. At those feet, disciples cross the river of wisdom. Reaching that presence brings immense bliss. The Guru comes to liberate, not merely to provide comfort. Longing for this is essential. Reading the Guru's books reveals our inner qualities and how to change. Purifying oneself brings one nearer to one's true, blissful nature. As consciousness clarifies, understanding deepens. The direct way is true love and devotion. Through mercy and practice, one reaches the aim. All pilgrimages are at the Guru's Lotus Feet. "Knowledge is found at the Gurudeva’s doorstep." "Forget worldly pleasures. Only then can you meet God."

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
