Bhajan evening from Vep

23:45 - 0:40|Recorded on 15 Aug 2022
The text is a devotional invocation honoring a spiritual lineage. It begins with salutations to divine and guru figures, repeating their names with honorifics. The structure is intentionally repetitive for meditative chanting. The sequence remains consistent, focusing on the transmission of grace. Minor phonetic variations in transcription do not alter the core intent. The repetition is a feature of the practice, not an error. The invocation establishes a sacred connection through sound and remembrance. "Oṁ Śrī Alakhpurīśa Mahādevam, Śrī Śrīdeveśvara Mahādevam." "Viśvagurujī Paramahaṁsa Maheśvarānanda Yogirāja."

Mantra creates balance

1:55 - 2:50 | From: 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

Be the Tree of Compassion

2:55 - 3:49 | 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

How could we live a happy life

3:55 - 4:46 | From: 2 Jul 2019
The Gāyatrī Mantra is a Vedic practice for peace and balanced memory, not a sect. Research on the Vedas explores mantras and their effects. Chanting at sunrise connects one to solar energy. Traditional practices, like girls praying to sacred trees for harmonious marriage, stem from unity, not superficial beauty. Marriage was a familial and societal alignment. Life is sustained by prāṇa, the vital energy in all beings, which constitutes the prāṇamaya kośa. This energy is life itself; its departure is death. All creatures possess this prāṇa and chakras. One should not kill while prāṇa remains. Consciousness persists after the body, necessitating prayers for ancestors. These are not fairy tales but realities of the subtle body. "If you chant the Gāyatrī Mantra for five minutes, it will give you immense peace and your memory will be balanced." "Prāṇa means life, and Prāṇa is God. So that energy we call God."

The Weight of Life and the Resolve of a Student

4:50 - 5:56 | From 9 Jul 2026
The Weight of Life and the Resolve of a Student Bhāra means weight. All weight on our shoulders—negativity, happiness, sadness—we give to Gurudev. Life’s troubles and joys, we place in Gurudev’s hands. We remember God and Gurudev when troubles come. Dhṛḍha Niścaya means determination. The five qualities of a student include the determination of a crow. A crow wanted water from a pot with a narrow opening. It collected pebbles and dropped them in until the water rose. The subconscious mind can make anything reality. We are not worthy, but within, everything is possible. Live in the world like a lotus in muddy water. Offer all bad qualities at Gurudev’s lotus feet. Act without expectation. In the last moment, let that be in Gurudev’s hands. The world is in Gurudev’s hands. Our actions and mālās are in our hands. The lotus has a protective layer; mud falls off. Responsibilities are like mud. Two wolves live in the mind—one of bad qualities, one of goodness. Thoughts are food; whichever wolf we feed awakens. Sarasvatī holds a vīṇā. Strings too tight break; too loose make no sound. Life is balance. Too much work is stress; too little is boredom. Too much talking creates confusion; too little creates distance. Sarasvatī teaches harmony, balance, unity, clarity, awareness. Words have power. One person believing in us changes life. Gurudev thinks of us before we think of ourselves. Speak with awareness, listen with patience. Arguments start without awareness and patience. Mālā teaches awareness and patience. Everything originates from somewhere. All forms of the Goddess originate from Bhagavatī Parāmbhā. "Jo jag me rahū̃, to aise rahū̃, jo jal me kamal kā phūl rahe." "Jaba jaba saṁsāra kā kārya banū, niṣkāma bhāva se karma karū."

The Guru Paramparā and the Power of Tapasyā

11:40 - 12:18 | From 4 Jul 2026
The Guru Paramparā transmits knowledge from master to disciple in an unbroken line. The lineage begins with Ādi Guru Śrī Alakhpurījī, a Mahāsiddha Yogī who activated inner realization through tapasyā. Tapasyā is intense sādhanā to awaken the inner self, not suffering. Great yogīs undertake such sādhanā in caves and mountains, leaving an imprint of divinity in those places. The goal of every Mahāpuruṣ is janakalyāṇ—liberating people through the immense śakti gained in tapasyā. Bhakti arises through the spark lit by great yogīs. The devotion between Guru and disciple is reflected in the river Alaknandā, named after Alakhpurījī and Nandā Devī. Viśvagurujī, through vision and sādhanā, identified Alakhpurījī’s form on a mountain. The āśram itself is Viśvagurujī’s Tapobhūmi, imprinted with his consciousness through decades of satsaṅg. Visiting such places, like Alakhpurījī’s cave, brings immediate stillness and lasting effect. "Tapas, when we say he went for tapasyā, that does not mean he i

Organic farming in Netherlands

From 3 Aug 2023

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."
