The name is very important

15:15 - 16:06|Recorded on 22 Jul 2021
Yoga is one universal path originating from the divine. Many great masters have taught it under different names and forms, yet all lead to the same goal. The essence is not merely physical exercise or intellectual knowledge but a journey toward the cosmic Self. All traditions and teachers who bring peace and harmony are valid. Human differences in appearance, thought, or tradition are natural, but the underlying unity is fundamental. The practice requires internal purification of the mind, not just discussion. Techniques like neti and dhoti are practical means for this cleansing. Dedication and surrender make everything possible on this path. "Everyone's yoga is good." "Dirty water has to be purified. This means we should remain in yoga and purify our mind." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Path of Conscious Living and Mercy

16:10 - 16:50 | From: 12 Aug 2017
The soul's purification through yoga and mercy is essential in this age. We gather in a place with strong spiritual vibration, welcoming many from around the world. This practice is global and neutral, unrelated to religion, focusing solely on liberating the soul. We are covered by ignorance and karma, often acting without knowing the consequences, which causes suffering for the body, family, and environment. The inner soul suffers greatly. The science of yoga in daily life is for developing spirituality, gaining clarity, and purifying karma to seek forgiveness for unconscious acts. A key difference exists between religion and spirituality; spiritual purity cleanses negative karma. We possess intellect and discernment, but must follow our inner wisdom over ignorance or ego. Central to this is karuṇā, or mercy, which must extend to all living beings. Every creature values its life and feels fear. The demand for meat creates a chain of harm, with major karmic responsibility falling on the consumer. This action, often done unconsciously, creates a cover over the soul, hindering liberation. Purification comes through sincere practice, prayer, and mantras, leading to higher consciousness. "O God, you are known as equal-visioned. You do not count our sin." "Therefore, the science of yoga in daily life was developed, and millions of people practice around the world." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Around the world - Inauguration Nandeshwar

17:00 - 17:05 | From: 6 Jul 2022
Yoga progresses from physical practice to the realization of the supreme Self. The foundation is Āsana, the physical posture. Remaining only there is mere exercise. One must proceed to Prāṇāyāma to steady the mind, then Pratyāhāra to withdraw the senses. This leads to Dhāraṇā, concentration, and then unbroken Dhyāna, meditation. Yet meditation retains duality. Samādhi dissolves this, unifying knower, knowing, and known into Turīya, the fourth state. The ultimate goal is beyond even this: Turīyātīta, the transcendent Conscious Principle, the Self of absolute Existence, Consciousness, and Bliss. All practices are a boat to cross the river; upon reaching the far shore, the boat is left behind. "All practices—Āsana, Prāṇāyāma, Dhyāna—are merely the boat to cross the river." "This is not a state to be attained; it is our very essence, the Chetan Puruṣa, the Conscious Principle."

Around the world - Khatu pranam

17:10 - 17:44 | From: 25 Jan 2011
A praṇāma is a greeting and a practice that transforms energy. It aligns the spinal column and expels impurities, cleansing the entire system. This work is prepared through breath control, mantras, and energetic concentration. The practice requires the transformation of both the individual and the place itself. The greatest opportunity for change is always in the present moment. The key is to return to the essential self without creating grand personal identities. Working with a mantra completes the whole, influencing all aspects of being. "The most important question is that of the Anāhata." "A praṇāma can be used as an āsana, or in combination with breathing, which then begins to take on a completely different dimension." Filming locations: Thar Desert, Rajasthan, India.

Guru Pūrṇimā: From Darkness to Light

17:50 - 18:23 | From: 28 Jun 2018
Guru Pūrṇimā marks our new year, leading from darkness to light. In Kali Yuga, negative energy spreads like wildfire, consuming the world through cruel practices like meat-eating. Meat's origin is unknown and could include human flesh, showing this age's depth. All creatures have eyes and a soul; you see God in the eyes of other beings, for every soul is the same God. Despite practices, you will not see God if you do not recognize this unity in all life. Every creature feels fear and pain, and torturing them distances us from divinity. Those under a saint's shelter avoid harming life; others remain in darkness. The guru guides you, even through harsh lessons that remove karma, for his bitterness brings the sweetness of knowledge and protection. Upholding your dharma—your duty to protect every creature and element—is essential, as dharma will then protect you. The complete remains complete. Human dharma is to protect all life. While negative ways spread, a positive message grows through practice and teachings, which we must share. Follow your master's guidance for your good, as unified vibration creates strength. "Every soul is the same." "Gu means darkness, ru means light." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

This precious human form is exceedingly difficult to obtain again. One must become truly human in this very moment. By being steadfast in this practice, the vision of the true Self is attained. Do not waste this fleeting chance. "Oh lamp of qualities, Hari, fix your mind on the Guru’s name. This opportunity will not come again; be human." "This is the totality of knowledge: to be human."

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."
