We should believe in God

0:40 - 1:54|Recorded on 7 Apr 2019
The human journey is a rare opportunity to realize oneness. Among countless life forms, the human birth is the most developed. This development offers the singular chance to merge with the supreme reality. Many habits, like excessive eating or using tobacco, create disease and suffering, obscuring this purpose. Health is foundational; without it, nothing is possible. Difficulties are not punishments but divine means to foster remembrance and surrender. Through trials, the soul is refined and drawn closer to liberation. All names and forms point to one essence, like different words for the same sweetness. "When you are very happy... you forget God. When we have problems, then we remember." "Give troubles to all devotees of God... When trouble comes that we remember." Filming location: Alexandria, USA

The Eternal Dharma and the Legacy of Alak Purī

2:00 - 3:14 | From: 3 Jun 2019
The eternal Dharma returns to a place of former prayer, adapting to changing times while its essence remains. Human consciousness shifts, but we must reconnect to our ancient spiritual roots from the Satya Yuga. This truth is not a human religion but the universal harmony of all creation. A parable illustrates the need for wisdom over literal interpretation: a merchant's son squanders his inheritance by following his father's testament literally, until a wise pandit reveals the deeper meaning—true wealth is found in discipline, shadow as metaphor for prudent hours, and hidden gold representing inner realization. Our lineage connects to this ancient wisdom through masters like Alak Purī, whose indescribable power is linked to sacred Himalayan sites and rivers. These are not mere stories but living reality, accessible to the sincere seeker. "Sanātana Dharma is not one person's religion. Sanātana is not only from the humans. It is everything: the trees, the animals, the entire balance of our earth—harmony, understanding, and creation." "The father was telling you right... 'Eat good food'... the best food is that when you are very hungry, then whatever you eat is tasteful." Filming location: Koper, Slovenia

Keep the body healthy

3:20 - 4:33 | From: 30 Jun 2018
The human life is a rare and precious opportunity to purify karma and realize the soul's nature. The soul, or jīva, is the same essence within all beings, from an ant to an elephant. It takes birth according to its past actions, cycling through countless forms. Negative speech and harmful thoughts create karma that returns to the speaker. One must perform good actions, show kindness to all creatures, and purify the mind. Karma does not forgive; only personal effort through right living and spiritual practice can cleanse it. The human body cannot be bought or rewound; it is a chance to achieve liberation. True spiritual practice is internal, not defined by external robes. Nourish the body with pure food and balance the inner energies through yoga. The goal is to awaken the inner consciousness and become free. "Two things: time will not wait for us, and karma will not forgive us." "The bullet in the gun and the word in your mouth are the same. A bullet can kill you, and one word can kill you."

Shiv-Abisheka

4:40 - 5:52 | From: 17 Feb 2015
A Śiva Pūjā is performed through invocation, abhiṣeka, and homa. The ritual begins with sacred mantras and offerings to Lord Śiva. Water, sandalwood, and sacred ash are offered with reverence. The five nectars and various substances like rice, betel leaf, and flowers are presented. A fire ceremony is conducted, where offerings are made with the utterance of svāhā. This act symbolizes the sacrifice of negativity and ego into the purifying flames. The recitation of the thousand names of Śiva follows, a profound meditation for this age. The ritual concludes with a peace prayer, affirming the eternal, complete nature of the divine. "Whatever negativity, ego, jealousy, or hatred is with us, we are sacrificing." "Pūrṇamadaḥ, Pūrṇamidaṁ, Pūrṇāt Pūrṇamudacyate." Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

The Guru Paramparā and the Power of Tapasyā

9:15 - 9:53 | 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 is suffering. That means he or she is in the process of intense sādhanā to light that inner jyoti and to awaken that sleeping self." "The goal of every Mahāpuruṣ is Janakalyāṇ. Jana means people, humans, bhaktas. Kalyāṇ means to free them, to liberate them." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Vakyas are diamonds

13:20 - 14:00 | From 1 Oct 2006
True spiritual wealth is found in satsang, not in material greed. A woman heard that a saint's visit made "diamonds rain," a metaphor for spiritual wisdom. She invited a fraud, hoping for literal diamonds. He revealed her greed, explaining true "diamonds" come from sacred company, not deception. This illustrates the two paths: Uthan (elevation) through Sat Sangha (good company) and Patan (downfall) through Ku Sangha (bad company). Satsang is the rare, transformative touchstone in this age. A greedy man asked God for a golden touch, a wish that ruined his life, showing that desires for powers trap us. True grace is wishing only for divine mercy. The Guru transforms the disciple's essence, unlike a stone that merely changes metal. "Therefore, it is said that in this Kali Yuga, it is very rare to have a satsaṅg. Without satsaṅg, you cannot achieve and you cannot get knowledge." "Paras makes iron into gold, but Paras does not make the iron into Paras. The Guru makes the disciple into a Guru."

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
