Karma, Dharma, and the Purification of the Inner Being

4:45 - 5:54|Recorded on 6 Jun 2009
Karma and dharma govern the purification of the inner being. Śubh karma, good deeds, purifies the antaḥkaraṇa—the inner instrument of manas (mind), buddhi (intellect), citta (consciousness), and ahaṁkāra (ego). Aśubh karma, negative deeds, pollutes it. Our actions through the senses and mind create karma, judged by their quality. Destiny unfolds from this behavior. Before facing great trouble, one's good intellect is taken away, leading to poor decisions. Therefore, purify the antaḥkaraṇa through śubh karma. This awakens divine tendencies like compassion and love. When afraid or lost, pray with a heart full of love; God hears such prayers. Dharma is righteousness and discipline. Losing it awakens negative tendencies like desire and anger. Attachment is powerful and sticky. Even great sages struggle with it. Your spiritual practice requires immense patience, like a careful climber. Do not hurry. Look only to your own karma and purify your inner mirror through good thoughts, speech, and action. "Śubh karma, the good karmas, good deeds, purifies our antaḥkaraṇa." "Whenever you feel scared, you should pray... Your mind should be full of love." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Gentle Supine Movements for Relaxation

6:00 - 6:41 | From: 26 Jul 2023
Gentle supine movements release tension and aid digestion. Lie down and relax your legs and arms. Bring your legs together. Bend one knee to your chest and hold it while stretching the other leg. Bring that knee across your body with the opposite hand, extending the other arm to the side. Repeat on the other side, turning your head opposite the knee. Roll gently from side to side. Allow your thighs to separate slightly to accommodate the belly. Move slowly and with awareness. "Stretch your left leg away from the midline, as you like, because you were eating too much." "Let your thighs depart from each other a little bit because of the eating, because of the eating and belly."

The Unshakeable Victory of Truth

6:45 - 7:40 | 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

Purify your prana

7:45 - 8:49 | From: 2 Jul 2016
The nature of prāṇa is difficult to explain. Prāṇa is life, distinct from oxygen. When the soul leaves the body, the prāṇa departs as well; the body is declared dead. These two are very close, perhaps one within the other. Once prāṇa leaves, it cannot return—like water in a flowing river. That specific presence is gone. The departed soul travels at high speed; connection remains only through memory and feeling. Prāṇa is omnipresent like space, while the soul moves within it. Through practices like prāṇāyāma, resonance moves from the navel to the crown. This resonance is prāṇa. Our prayers and energy, sent through prāṇa, cannot change a soul's destiny but can grant freedom and affect its astral path. Prāṇa is the miracle. Some beings demonstrate total control over it, like a sādhu unharmed in fire. Ultimately, prāṇa is Ātmā—omnipresent. The goal is to purify personal prāṇa and connect it to the Cosmic Prāṇa. This is Yoga. Surrender is essential. "Prāṇa is life. But oxygen is also life. No oxygen, no life. Yet, oxygen is different and prāṇa is different." "Prāṇa is ātmā. Ātmā is everywhere, omnipresent."

Influence Of The Full Moon

8:55 - 9:52 | From: 25 Apr 2013
The moon's influence connects nature, human consciousness, and spiritual practice. The full moon profoundly affects our emotions and the natural world. In scripture, moonlight is a nectar entering vegetation, linked to the idea of a honeymoon, where honey symbolizes health and immortality. We must protect bees, crucial for this nectar, as their decline is an ecological disaster. A practitioner should be like a bee, extracting only the good from the world without causing harm. The bee's hum is its mantra. To balance the moon's strong energy, one may fast on a full moon day. The moon symbolizes emotion; like ocean waves, high emotions obscure clarity, so important decisions should wait for calm. Our journey involves consciousness moving through energy centers, from the root, which holds past karma, to higher states. We must purify subconscious desires in this life to avoid future suffering. True practice involves healthy living, compassion, and meditation to perceive the divine beauty in all existence, living purely like a lotus in a polluted world. "Arjuna, I enter into the vegetation as a nectar through the moonlight." "If you would like to have all as your friends, then give up harsh words." Filming location: New York, USA

The Eternal Bond of Guru and Disciple

11:50 - 12:58 | 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

Your faith is Your liberator

15:55 - 16:53 | From 1 Oct 2007
The mission of human life is self-realization. Today commemorates the victory of truth over falsehood. To navigate life successfully, ask five questions daily. First, remember "I am a human," which awakens inner discernment to avoid negative actions. Human qualities like knowledge, kindness, and forgiveness distinguish us; these hidden treasures must be protected. Neglecting these qualities for negative thoughts spoils them, like lemon in milk. Dry intellect without devotion is lost. The prime mission is not worldly achievements but Ātmā-jñāna, realizing the universal Self within all. This human birth offers unique tools for this purpose. Life is a transient theater; we must use our time to realize the immortal Ātmā. Liberation requires sincere practice and unshakable faith in the guiding grace. "God does not want these tricks. God Kṛṣṇa, Gopāla, is happy when you are doing really with an honest heart, with love." "In this Kali Yuga, we have only one hope: the name of God, mantra, your mantra. Repeat and repeat and repeat. O human, you will cross the ocean." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 386

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
