Around the world - Inauguration Nandeshwar

5:00 - 5:05|Recorded on 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

5:10 - 5:44 | 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

5:50 - 6:23 | 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

Intellectual knowledge does not make you wise

6:30 - 7:06 | From: 3 Jul 2019
The power of mantra and the subtle body is revealed through sound and internal energy. Chanting mantra affects body, mind, and soul. The essence is universal despite language. Concentration on the chakras brings strength, knowledge, and balance. The body is a balloon of energy containing thousands of chakras. Every cell and the universe itself is round. This form reflects divine design, as seen in unique fingerprints. Each fingertip contains distinct chakras visible under magnification. Gentle self-touch activates this energy flow powerfully. This personal touch releases tension and channels vitality more effectively than external contact. Energy centers exist throughout the entire body, including palms and soles. Awakening this internal energy is crucial. Formal education often destroys nature, unlike innate spiritual wisdom. "Look, God has done just one print on the thumb, and no one can make the duplicate." "This gentle touch is a thousand times more intensive than just like this, because each chakra in the body is where we are concentrating and coming; the energy is flowing there."

Repeat the name of Gurudev

12:20 - 12:47 | From 15 Dec 2023
The human birth is a rare and urgent opportunity. The scriptures and all aspects of existence point to a single imperative. The sole necessity is to fix the mind upon the Guru's name. 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."

The infinite love and blessing of Vishwaguruji

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
