The Means Are the End: On Non-Violence, Patience, and Peace

16:45 - 16:59|Recorded on 4 Dec 2016
The means are the end; the purity of the instrument determines the outcome. Life initially teaches non-violence through powerlessness, when a violent response is impossible. Yet true understanding comes with maturity. Society focuses on ends, neglecting means. This creates fundamental questions: can war bring peace or violence bring justice? The answer is no. Wrong means always yield wrong ends, for the means become the end. A seed becomes the tree. Hatred breeds hatred; violence breeds violence. Only non-violence, born from compassion, breeds compassion. Some claim wrong means bring wealth and power, while right means bring struggle. But happiness is a peaceful mind. Those using right means possess this peace and live in the present. Those using wrong means have disturbed minds, living in past or future. To follow non-violence requires immense patience and faith. It is a slow, complete cure like Ayurveda, healing from within like yoga. "There are countless reasons for which I can give my life, but for no reason can I kill a person." "Happiness is a peaceful state of mind." Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

Around the world - Opening of new YIDL center in Murska Sobota, Slovenia

17:00 - 17:42 | From: 18 May 2018
A new ashram opens to teach the universal path of yoga, a science of body, mind, and soul for inner peace and health. This place was prepared over many years by volunteers spreading authentic yoga, not as a business. Yoga is an ancient universal science of balance and harmony originating with Śiva, beyond any single religion. It is a tool for modern life, where one must find willpower and time for practice amidst societal haste. The practice requires careful, daily effort without competition, adaptable for all ages and conditions. Its ultimate aim is to realize one's relation with the Supreme, fostering health, peace, and universal brotherhood. The future depends on educating children in this spiritual knowledge. "Yoga is universal. So I see your centers... as centers of universal brotherhood." "Yoga means balance, harmony, and unity." Filming location: Slovenia

The Ocean and the Drop

17:50 - 18:22 | From: 23 Jun 2021
The individual soul is a drop from the divine ocean. We are all that divine essence, like a drop from the ocean. Modern science can be used for good or harm, but the ancient yogic science guides only toward good. Our true nature is divine; each cell in the body is God. We are the drop that has temporarily separated. This drop may land in a barren place, but it will inevitably return to the ocean. We are very close to that unity now. All names and forms are of the one God. The soul does not die; it merges. Our prayers should extend kindness to all life. Among billions of life forms, only humans possess the understanding to realize this truth. The path is within, through the heart and meditation, using practices like mantra to return focus inward. External roles are just garments; the inner realization is what matters. "All animals, all, but humans more, we know that. And we are the drop of that." "Only life, the soul, the life have only one door." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

The Seed Has To Die To Become A Tree

18:30 - 19:03 | From: 28 Jun 2014
Knowledge is an endless well, not a finite resource to be exhausted. Great saints of the past have spoken, but they only consumed the butter, not the cow itself. The cow—Sarasvatī, the source of knowledge—remains with us. Feed it with love and devotion, and you can milk it day and night; the well of wisdom is infinite. We have just begun to explore the Manipūra Chakra, the jeweled city within, which is the foundation of life and holds immense spiritual energy. True wealth is not external money but the internal treasure of contentment; desire is what makes one poor. We originate from the endless, void-like Ākāśa and are waves of the primordial sound, Nāda. Like individual raindrops, we separate but ultimately return to the ocean. The navel is the center of this universal process. The vital energies, prāṇa and apāna, flow through channels like the Vajranāḍī, and their balance is essential for life. Our physical form began from the navel, a truth symbolized by the lotus emerging from Viṣṇu's navel. This spiritual knowledge is a feast to be consumed slowly, bite by bite. "They ate the butter, not the cow. Feed the cow with love. Milk it day and night." "Those who have the money are the poor. Those who have no money are the rich." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

A Prayer for the Yajña

19:05 - 19:13 | From: 28 Jan 2026
The prayer is a ritual invocation seeking divine acceptance and forgiveness for a sacred fire ceremony. I enter my inner Self as my true home. We ask Agni to forgive any errors in chanting or offerings. We offer what we can with our power, devotion, and detachment, requesting our wishes be fulfilled. We acknowledge the five elements, taking breath from air and drinking water. We offer reverence to these same elements. We meditate upon the nine planets. We ask forgiveness from the Guru, the Fire God, Shiva, and all for any mistakes. We pray for world peace, unity, and health. We pray that the inner intentions taken at the ceremony's commencement come true. "Whatever we can offer with our śakti, bhakti, and vairāgya, please accept it and fulfill all our wishes." "We pray that the entire world remains in peace and unity, with good health for all." Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Highlights

You are the ocean of bliss

4:45 - 5:54 | From 1 Jun 2008
Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. The discourse explores the nature of true, divine bliss (Ānanda) found within the universal Self (Ātmā), contrasting it with temporary worldly happiness. It emphasizes the purifying power of spiritual thought and sound. "Within you is the fountain of joy, and within you is the ocean of bliss." "Ānandoham means 'I am blissful'... I have the divine bliss within me." The teaching explains that all beings seek happiness, but lasting bliss is one's true nature, not found externally. It distinguishes the individual soul from the universal Ātmā. Using the parable of Śiva and Pārvatī's quest for immortality (Amar Kathā), it illustrates that the mortal world operates in cycles and that true wisdom must be preserved and shared. The story of Śiva, Pārvatī, and villagers criticizing their every action demonstrates that one should not be swayed by others' opinions. The conclusion advises regular introspection to connect with the inner source of peace

Around the World - A Journey of Remembrance and Reverence

2:00 - 2:07 | 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

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
