Clean Your Inner Conflicts

2:10 - 3:39|Recorded on 1 Oct 2007
Yoga in daily life extends beyond personal health to encompass society and planetary peace. It is not merely physical exercise but a comprehensive practice. The ego claims ownership of the planet, yet we belong to it as guests. This false ownership sows seeds of conflict—over territory, family, and caste—causing global unrest. True practice requires cleansing inner dissatisfaction and conflict. External rituals like wearing stones are less potent than polishing one's own inner being, the most precious stone. The practice of mālā is an offering of the mind; its power flows from the practitioner's thoughts and feelings during repetition. Caution is needed most from oneself. Yoga must transcend selfishness to include physical, mental, social, and spiritual health for the entire planet. The story of a devoted king tested by God illustrates the severity of trials required to uphold one's word and principles for the sake of truth, demonstrating the depth of surrender beyond mere theory. "Mother Earth has enough for everyone’s needs, but never enough for greed." "Polish your stone." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 383

Give More Quality To Your Life

3:45 - 5:04 | From: 26 Apr 2013
A mantra is that which satisfies and liberates the mind. The mind is never satisfied, like a bowl made of mind that gold cannot fill. It is like a ghost that demands constant work; without a task, it becomes destructive. The mantra gives the mind a steady job, trapping it in satisfaction. It is a sentence that slowly transforms us from within, cleansing darkness, problems, and doubts. The mind becomes tranquil, and meditation arises. The mantra guides us toward our aim of reuniting with our origin, the Absolute Divine. Mantras have two parts: one expresses your wish, the other is a prayer. The essence is: "Please vanish all darkness from my being, and let your light come into me." Light is knowledge; darkness is sorrow and ignorance. Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, a path to spirituality. Its meaning is union—the oneness of individual consciousness with the universal. Our inner thirst is to return to that endless joy. Human life is given for this self-realization. To achieve it, follow ethical and spiritual principles and maintain the body through healthy living and disciplined practice. Yoga is a scientific system for the well-being of body, mind, and soul, leading to harmony and health. It begins with gentle, daily physical practice. Discipline is essential; start now. Life is given to enjoy, not to suffer. The body needs gentle care, not force or competition. "Please vanish all darkness from my being, and let your light come into me." "Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness. It is a primary step, a philosophy, a path to spirituality." Filming location: New York, USA

Sanskrit names are important

5:10 - 5:52 | From: 18 Aug 2017
Āsana is a term with deep meaning in the yogic system, which is connected to the Sanskrit language. The word signifies a seat, a dwelling place, or a posture. One's yoga mat is a yoga āsana. The place one sleeps is an āsana. The specific postures, like Bhujaṅgāsana, are also called āsana. The term's meaning depends entirely on context. Yoga is a vast science greater than allopathic medicine, and its proper terminology carries inherent knowledge. Similarly, prāṇāyāma fundamentally consists of inhalation, retention, and exhalation. The Sanskrit alphabet resonates with the body's energy centers, and the language balances the mind. True communication begins with the heart's touch. "Wherever you sit, that is your āsana." "Prāṇāyāma is only three: pūraka (inhalation), kumbhaka (retention), and recaka (exhalation)." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Morning practice from Strilky with relaxation

6:00 - 6:42 | From: 17 Aug 2023
Correct form and awareness are essential for yoga practice. Feel the contact between your body and the floor, aware of your breathing. Practice postures like Pavanamuktāsana to release tension, ensuring the low back presses the floor. Sit in Vajrāsana to relax and balance the energy channels. Execute movements from the hip joints with a straight spinal column, being gentle to avoid injury. The action of a posture is distinct from relaxation within it. Correct practice strengthens the diaphragm and enables deeper breathing. Incorrect practice yields no benefit and risks harm. Focus on the precise form, not merely performing the shape. "Because if we practice and practice incorrectly, we will not have good results." "Try to do these movements when you will not injure your neighbor."

The Unshakeable Victory of Truth

6:50 - 7:45 | From: 11 Jul 1992
Truth is ultimately unshakeable and always victorious. I began this work with the conviction that truth cannot be hidden; it will always emerge. I have traveled widely, even to places where speaking of God was forbidden, yet I faced no difficulties because I held one thought: the Guru always protects you. Be fearless and without doubt. A story illustrates this: a king, Hiraṇyakaśyapu, sought immortality through a boon that he could not be killed by any known means. He declared himself God and forbade worship. His son, Prahlāda, was a devoted bhakta who continually sang God's name despite his father's persecution. The king finally threatened him before a red-hot iron pillar. As Prahlāda embraced it, the pillar burst open, revealing the Narasiṁha Avatāra—a half-man, half-lion form of God—who killed the king at twilight in a doorway, thus fulfilling the boon's conditions and liberating the kingdom. This victory of truth is celebrated. The lesson is to surrender completely with love, which is the only power that can bind even God. Purify your heart of negativity, for God resides where there is love and sincere dedication. Giving yourself fully is different from merely saying you will. "Be fearless and without any doubts. Never be afraid." "God carries His disciples, His devotees, on His palm very carefully." Filming location: Budapest, Hungary

Around the World - A Journey of Remembrance and Reverence

13:20 - 13:27 | From 10 Jan 2026
I recently traveled to pay respects at the samādhi of a revered female ascetic. She was the first female Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara in our tradition, renowned for memorizing sacred texts from a very young age and receiving a title for it. She had a large spiritual family of disciples managing various ashrams. We shared a good connection from past meetings at gatherings and when she visited our Guru. Upon learning of her passing, I journeyed through the night to attend the funeral procession in Ahmedabad, which culminated in her burial at a chosen site outside the city alongside other senior ascetics. It was a full 24-hour journey of remembrance. "She was the first female Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara in our Akhāṛā." "Her wish was to have her samādhi in Hargośālā." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The Eternal Bond of Guru and Disciple

8:35 - 9:43 | From 25 Jan 2026
The bond between guru and disciple is the only permanent bond, chosen with full awareness. Other relationships, like family, are given without choice. In Kali Yuga, finding a true guru is rare. We are blessed to be in a lineage, a paramparā, starting with Śrī Alakpurījī in the Himalayas. The guru is the light from darkness. We need a guide just as we needed parents and teachers. The spiritual path is structured through four life stages, culminating in sannyās. The greatest gift is initiation with a mantra, a direct conversation with the divine. The story of Eklavya illustrates perfect guru bhakti and surrender, offering his thumb as guru dakṣiṇā. The guru is trikāla-darśī, seeing all time. We must not question the guru's instruction, as illustrated by a story where a guru's warning saved a man from an attack. Another story tells of a guru who helped princes rewrite their destined poverty through faith and specific instructions. The guru has the power to transform destiny, but we must c

The infinite love and blessing of Vishwaguruji

From 1 Dec 2024
The Guru is the only one near God and understands all. You are all brothers and sisters. God has done everything well, providing this space. The Guru is the highest and will do everything.

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
