Preparation for advanced postures

8:40 - 9:35|Recorded on 9 Jul 2016
Preparing the body and mind is essential for Kriyānuṣṭhāna. Discipline is required, not all must perform advanced postures like a handstand. A foundational requirement is the ability to sit motionless for a minimum of one hour, cultivating kāya-sthairyam for a steady mind. Physical preparation over a year is needed, focusing on postures like the half and full butterfly to increase flexibility in the hamstrings and hips. Practice must be done correctly, prioritizing the quality of movement over quantity. The goal is to coordinate body and breath, leading to awareness and inner experience. Yoga integrates body, breath, and mind for peace and harmony. "Now yoga begins with anuśāsanam, which means discipline. No discipline, no success." "Our mind is like water in our body. When you move your body, your mind also moves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Keep balance while you are practicing

9:40 - 10:40 | From: 18 Mar 2016
Yoga is a lifelong practice for body, mind, and spirit. It is an ancient science for health and self-realization, not merely physical exercise. Many misunderstand it, turning it commercial, but true yoga overcomes stress and brings peace. It is for all ages and walks of life, a daily system like eating or breathing. Practice must be balanced, without competition or strain, and includes postures, breath, and meditation. Breath harmonizes the body, and the heart works loyally; we must care for it. The body is a temple for the inner self, which dislikes aggression and falsity. Spirituality is devotion—a higher, respectful love—not a temporary, misused emotion. True devotion leads to oneness and God realization, harmonizing life and family. "Health is the first wealth." "Yoga should be for every walk of life." Filming location: London, UK

You Need Strength

10:45 - 11:34 | From: 1 Oct 2008
Yoga is the universal path for human health, harmony, and happiness, serving all creatures. It is the most ancient divine work, described in the Vedas, designed to remove negative energy and elevate consciousness. All divine incarnations and saints realized divinity through yogic techniques like meditation, prayer, and universal love. To believe in and know God are yogic principles. Religions later developed from the teachings of saints, but yoga existed before any were named. All religions aim for the one God and contain yogic techniques. The practice leads to self-realization by freeing one from negative karma. Actions are your choice, but their results are your unchangeable destiny. Desire causes trouble and illness. The path requires tolerance, respect, understanding, trust, and harmony. Support the young generation and live with love, helping others and practicing conscious renunciation. Work to harmonize with all, respecting every place of worship and removing ego. Practice leads to happiness and the merging of individual consciousness into the cosmic. "Karma is in your hands; you can do what you want. It is your decision. But the result, the fruit of your action, is not in your hands." "Tolerance for T, respect for R, U for understanding, T again for trust in God, and H for harmony. That is the truth." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 491

The mind is a cheater

11:40 - 12:31 | From: 2 Aug 2017
The inner battle is governed by the polluted antaḥkaraṇa, making bhakti yoga the essential path in Kali Yuga. The antaḥkaraṇa consists of four principles: manas, buddhi, citta, and ahaṁkāra. These are polluted by malā, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. The mind is particularly greedy, tempted, restless, and a thief; it is a reflection one cannot correct by cleaning the mirror. This restless mind governs the other principles and leads one astray. Impurities from countless lives persist as tenacious saṃskāras. Knowledge and dispassion can split these deep impressions. In this age, the destructive energy is strong. The only boat for crossing the ocean of existence is the repetition of the name and mantra through bhakti yoga. "Mana lobhī, mana lalacī, mana cañcal, mana cor." "Kali yuga kevala nāmādhāra, sumira sumira nara hoi bhava pāra." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Do not limit Your love

12:35 - 13:38 | From: 1 Aug 2008
Practice is paramount, and the path is love. A gram of practice outweighs a ton of theory. Laziness and distraction lead humanity astray, mistaking material and economic achievements for true fulfillment. The world has lost its spiritual direction, chasing money as the god of this age. True spirituality, or Sanātana Dharma, leads to the Divine without discrimination of religion, culture, or nation, and does not go against nature. Renunciation and discipline are required. The aim is to cultivate positive thoughts for the benefit of all, not for oneself. When a third, divisive element enters between two, harmony is destroyed. The planet survives on love; hate creates an internal battlefield. Life is love, evident in every breath. Limited love, like a cup of water, is exhaustible. Universal love is endless and does not require demonstration. It is felt, not shown. The ultimate remedy for the world is this boundless love. "Mother Nature has enough for everyone’s need, but not for their greed." "Love you cannot hide, love makes light." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 476

Highlights

Awakening within a human body

15:00 - 15:57 | From 1 Dec 2008
The heart is central to spiritual development and the awakening of divine joy through Kundalini. Destiny is the fruit of karma; every situation has meaning. Face destiny to be free from it. The heart feels everything quicker than the intellect. A divine light resides within it, the light of the Ātmā. Every creature with a heart carries God's manifestation. Negative energy produces desires and fear, while desirelessness brings true happiness and richness. This body is a wondrous creation where God resides and speaks. No heart is empty of the divine presence. Harsh words wound the heart, and only love and mantra can heal it. When Kundalini awakens and touches the heart, it overflows with devotion and happiness, leading to bhāva samādhi. This state is the highest joy and a healing process for the body. Understanding the meaning of words in prayer or song allows them to penetrate the consciousness and induce this samādhi. Sound, light, and energy from mantras have a healing effect, traveling through the nāḍīs to awaken divine love. "When there is a problem, everyone remembers God." "The happiest and richest person is one who has no desires, neither physically nor materially." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 502

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."
