Bhajans evening from the Strilky Ashram

21:30 - 22:33|Recorded on 16 Jul 2023
A fine shawl, a sacred motherland, a coach of the body, and a two-day meeting. A bhajan says the body is a fine shawl dyed with God's name, woven on eight lotus chakras; saints keep it spotless. Mother India is like sandalwood, a land of penance and sacred duty. Dawn blows the conch, dusk sings a lullaby, and fortune is shaped by actions. Poets sing sacrifices, wisdom is pure as Ganga, soldiers chant Gita, goal is God-realization. The body is a coach pulled by ten horses, the ten shaktis, controlled by mind and intellect. Knowledge is light; the Atma sits inside with discernment. Five thieves—desire, anger, pride, greed, ego—seized the coach, made horses lose way. Gurudeva's arrow-word made them flee. In the coach are solar systems, five karmendriyas, five jnanendriyas, brahmanas. Through holy worship, joy is enjoyed in this body. Life is a two-day meeting: yesterday, today; tomorrow unknown. It is a play of coming and going; alone we came, are alone, go alone. Only karma, mantra, Gurudeva's light guide. Life flows like unholdable water; at end, no one helps. Meditate on God; dharma, dhairya, mitra, artha must be proved at right time. “The soul of this country, Bhārata, is like chandan, like sandalwood.” “The only thing that will go with us is our karma, our deeds. The power of the mantra and the light of Gurudeva—this will guide us.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Bhajan evening in the Strilky Ashram

22:40 - 23:33 | From: 17 Jul 2023
The bhajan of the caged bird reflects the soul's entrapment in karmas and qualities. A bird confined in a cave endures great suffering, crying out with pain no one comprehends. This symbolizes the soul still bound. Pain is part of life, yet one day abiding in Sat Chit Ananda is certain. The bird, placed in a cage, lives a life no longer its own. Observers see beauty, but the existence is harsh. Never confine a creature; compassion means letting it remain free. The bhajan conveys unbearable suffering. How to open the cage? Humans are similarly caged, dispersed everywhere yet believing themselves at ease. Preoccupation with money and possessions conceals the inner cage. The bird, if free, would stand in a tree, questioning its placement by God. Another bhajan speaks of a girl locked in a cage for countless lifetimes, seeking her beloved husband. Without shame, she lived as a child unable to walk, unable to find the beloved. Eventually, she found the divine beloved and dissolved into the immortal, unborn one. Through bhajan, liberation is attained. "The bird is held within, and its life is no longer its own." "We too are inside a cage. What is that cage?" Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Paths of destiny

7:40 - 8:52 | From 1 Nov 2008
Yoga is the principle that balances, harmonizes, and unites space and consciousness. Its author is Lord Śiva, who first manifested through the cosmic sound Oṁ and bestowed the science of Yoga Vidyā. This living tradition is transmitted from master to disciple; theory without practice is insufficient. The human body is a microcosm connected to cosmic energy through channels called nāḍīs. The primary channels are Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā, governing energy, light, and resonance. The body's form reflects universal principles, with divisions like brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, and śūdra corresponding to the head, arms, trunk, and legs, illustrating inherent unity without untouchability. The heart center, the anāhata chakra, represents love without borders. It houses divine qualities like happiness and compassion, while lower centers contain limited, material desires. Awakening energy from the mūlādhāra chakra brings forth one's destiny and karma. This energy must be purified through centers like maṇipūra to reach the heart in a state of universal love. The ultimate aim is the merger of energy, resonance, and light into cosmic consciousness. This is achieved through practices like Kuṇḍalinī Yoga and specific kriyās, which involve bandhas to direct energy through the suṣumnā channel. Real yoga is a 24-hour practice of positive living, ahiṃsā, and love for all creatures, leading to self-realization. "Yoga is not only physical and breath exercises; it is that principle which balances, harmonizes, and unites space and consciousness." "Love is without boundaries—universal love, not individual love. The seat of the Ātmā is in the Anāhata cakra." DVD 500

Develop God consciousness

4:50 - 5:51 | From 1 Feb 2006
The emergence of consciousness begins with the first principle, Svayambhū Śiva, the self-manifested divine will. The entire universe manifested from a cosmic sound, the resonance of OṂ, which permeates every atom. This planet is the realm of karma and dharma, where beings experience birth and death through the cycle of 8.4 million creatures. The divine play requires the knower, the knowledge, and the object. Most cannot understand this play; only those with grace can. Maya, or ignorance, manifests as anger, jealousy, and desire. Spiritual development requires cultivating God consciousness, which is distinct from material progress. Discipline through mantra, fasting, and silence develops this awareness. One sees only what one's consciousness permits; to see God, one must develop God consciousness. "Eko’haṁ Bhausyāmī—I am one and now I will multiply." "You can only see God if you have God consciousness." Filming location: Banska Bystrica, Slovakia DVD 240

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
