Don't expect miracles

17:55 - 18:41|Recorded on 22 Aug 2017
The soul’s journey to Brahmaloka through the guru’s grace demands endless patience, for the guru shepherds the devotee across lifetimes until liberation. Worldly life is everything, but the guru follows the soul to Brahmaloka over vast time. The greatest error is to postpone spiritual effort, saying “Tomorrow” or “Next year.” Expecting swift miracles leads to psychic illness—depression, hallucination, false imagination. The only miracle is death; otherwise, the soul waits long in the queue of other realms. The guru’s blessing, given as shelter, protects the disciple until the journey’s end. Purifying the soul’s accumulated karma, heavy as tons of debris, requires ages. Negative thoughts create parallel difficulties. The guru can grant instant liberation but refrains. A farmer delayed joining the guru due to attachment to his son. He waited for his son’s marriage, then a grandchild, then to repay debts. He died and was reborn as a cow, still attached to family duties. The guru visited, offering liberation, but the soul postponed. As a dog guarding the house, it again delayed. As a cobra shielding its grandchild, it was killed by family. The soul became a worm, the lowest form. The guru placed the worm in a lotus offered to Vishnu. At Vishnu’s lotus feet, the worm attained moksha. The guru’s grace carries the soul to Brahmaloka even when karma worsens. “Do not expect any miracles. And if you want to expect miracles, then you will become psychically ill: depression, hallucination, wrong imagination.” “Even if your karma is getting worse and worse, one day it will be that you will get into the Brahmaloka.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yoga and nature is one

18:45 - 19:12 | From: 14 Dec 2019
Yoga is the science of humans and a natural way of life. Its first principle is vegetation, which is Āyurveda, an ancient medicine from the Yugas. Modern medicine, while life-saving, is chemical and not fully accepted by the natural body, unlike remedies from plants. Our way of eating has been lost, and white sugar is a major cause of disease. The tongue enslaves us to taste, leading to illness. Āyurveda encompasses diet and was once so advanced it included surgeries like those on the brain. Yoga is not acrobatics; it is a scientific system for a long, healthy life. Many practice it incorrectly, which can cause harm. True yoga involves physical exercise, breathing, concentration, and meditation. We are all God, and our actions determine our fate. The practice should be shared freely for community health.

Discovering harmony and peace

19:15 - 20:20 | From: 26 Mar 2017
A journey within begins by relaxing the body and observing the breath. Contemplate the five elements within. Space exists inside and outside; feel at ease within it. Air, or prāṇa, purifies the body and can remove illness with concentrated will. Inner fire, or agni, balances temperature and burns away toxins. The water element flows through tissues, supplying minerals and expelling impurities. The earth element, the bones, provides a frame. These elements within can become polluted by the external world. Purify them through sāttvic food, yoga postures, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Body awareness is life awareness; health depends on clean, balanced elements. Bring awareness to any area of pain or illness. Direct breath and the elements—air, fire, space, water—to that area to balance and heal. This self-inquiry meditation can be done seated. Many bodily problems stem from personal mistakes like wrong diet or substances, but they can be repaired through yoga, meditation, and a balanced diet. Make a resolve to heal the body and mind through these elements and practices. Love and protect nature. Decide for a healthy, strong body and a long life. "Body awareness means life awareness. The body is here, you are here." "Strive to purify with sāttvic food... Pure quality gives more quality to your life." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia

Be the tool

20:25 - 21:09 | From: 10 Jul 2024
The spiritual path requires surrendering the ego's claim of being the doer to become a tool of divine grace. A dog pulling a chariot mistakenly believes it carries the entire load itself. Similarly, Hanuman once thought his great deeds were his own doing. Rama then sent him on a difficult journey to deliver a ring to a sage. The sage threw the ring into a vessel filled with identical rings from every divine incarnation, revealing that countless servants have come before. The practitioner must pray to be an instrument, allowing divine energy to flow through selfless service. All actions, like leading a yoga class, become energized when performed with the attitude of "I am not the doer." Spiritual work must be done invisibly, without seeking recognition, as showing off one's fasting or prayers feeds the ego. The guru's guidance acts as medicine that may stir up inner impurities, which is necessary for purification. Life is like entering a cold, testing ground; the aim is to emerge with one's inner purity intact. By focusing on personal cleansing through practice, one naturally illuminates the surroundings. "Only what is important for us is to understand and to pray to be the tool." "Always be aware of Hanumānjī when he realized that a lot, and so many, was before him and so much will be after him, and only pray for grace, for great luck, to get the opportunity to be the tool."

Highlights

You are the ocean of bliss

3:20 - 4:29 | From 1 Jun 2008
The self is bliss, Ānandoham. Negative thoughts poison the body and mind; divine thoughts purify and create protection. The power of thoughts comes not from the brain, heart, or soul, but from the universal Ātmā. The soul is individual, while the Ātmā is the formless, universal reality that never changes. Within you is the fountain of joy and the ocean of bliss. Kill this little “I” and lead a divine life. Material happiness is temporary, like bubbles on water. Eternal bliss is the divine, the origin to which all beings seek to return. Even Śiva and Pārvatī could not please everyone, showing outer criticism is inevitable. Therefore, relax, do not control thoughts, and find inner peace. The parrot’s tale reveals wisdom must be left behind and alertness protects consciousness. Contentment makes one truly rich, not outer wealth. Take time daily to meditate, repeat a mantra, or simply experience inner happiness. Negative karma and destiny bind, but self-realization liberates. The final destination is to merge into oneness, the immortal bliss. “Within you is the fountain of joy, and within you is the ocean of bliss. Within you is the immortal Self.” “When I was here, he was not there. Now he is here, but I am not there. Because the street of love is so narrow, two cannot walk together.” Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 439

The Essence of Satsaṅg and the Inner Path

2:15 - 3:16 | From 27 Jan 2026
This is a spiritual discourse on the essence of satsaṅg and the path to inner peace, delivered by a speaker from a guru lineage.

Key themes include the choice between satsaṅg (gathering in truth) and kusaṅg, the role of a guru as a guide, and the practice of contentment and self-inquiry to overcome inner enemies like anger and jealousy. 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
