The science of the constellation

11:05 - 11:59|Recorded on 28 Jul 2021
The name given at birth should align with the celestial constellation present at that moment. The moment of birth is defined when the child touches the earth. The sun and moon are primary, but all nine celestial bodies determine the constellation. This constellation dictates the first letter of the name, which is crucial for well-being. The specific language or full name is secondary; the foundational first letter must correspond. This is a cosmic science upheld by tradition. Neglecting this alignment is why problems arise. We are individual drops, but together we form a great river in service. The guru and disciple become one through this understanding. "The first letter name should go." "Take your name according to the constellation." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Realisation of the Atma

12:05 - 12:59 | From: 3 Apr 2015
The Non-Dual Reality and Self-Realization: Cintan over Cintā Advaita means non-duality; what is visible and touchable changes, but reality remains unchanged. Self-realization, ātmā anubhūti, is the direct experience of the Ātmā, witnessed once and forever. It stands as the witness of all worldly changes. Modern human cintan, thinking, is directed entirely outward into technology. This outward focus makes humans lonely, separated, and like technique itself, lacking ethics and spirituality. The purpose for which God sent humans is self-realization, and that inner ability is wasted. Ancient ṛṣis possessed durdarśan, distant vision, and durśravaṇ, distant hearing, through guru kṛpā. Sañjaya received such a blessing from Kṛṣṇa to see the Kurukṣetra war; when grace withdrew, the vision vanished. Thus, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpā—the root of liberation is guru's grace. The body itself illustrates the four castes: Brahmana is the head, Kshatriya the arms, Vaishya the trunk, Shudra the legs—all four in one body. The ātmā is immortal, everywhere, unlimited, whereas the body and its technologies are limited and dependent. True meditation is ātmā cintan, thinking on the Self, not just any visualization. Without proper cintan, one falls into cintā—worry, fear, nervousness, anger, hate, and jealousy. Cintā creates cracks in faith and dissipates bhakti, like a termite destroying a tree. Therefore, never be worried; take things as they are, for what will happen will happen. The first step of self-realization is to see thyself in each and every entity, bringing reconciliation and oneness. "Cintā kabhī mat karanā." "To see thyself in each and every entity — this is the first step of self-realization." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Thirsty Horse and the Path of Spirituality

13:05 - 13:57 | From: 19 Aug 2018
The human soul seeks direction amidst universal stress, which persists from childhood through old age despite our efforts. We are like a thirsty horse frightened by the noise of a water pump; to drink, we must accept the noise. Our spiritual thirst must be quenched within the world's clamor. Time is an unstoppable reality, and individual karma is an inescapable truth that guides our journey. Good and bad actions create impressions upon the soul. The mind and its desires bind us, as illustrated by the transformations of Vālmīki and Tulsīdās. Liberation requires dedicated practice without proclaiming spiritual attainments, for such claims dissipate power. We must walk the path with humility, performing our duties while maintaining spiritual focus. "Time will not wait for us. It does not matter who is who." "Karma goes with us like the shadow of our body." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Merging into light

14:05 - 14:55 | From: 29 Jul 2014
Truly, there is no inherently bad day; only unfortunate events occur. All creation holds beauty that requires care, from plants to furniture. When something cherished is lost, sadness arises. Objects touched by a holy one carry value because of that personality, not money. Negative thinking alone is bad; before judging, negativity already dwells within. The wise do not grieve because the soul is immortal. Without knowledge of the soul, attachment to form causes sorrow. A saint’s passing is a merging into Brahman, not cause for sadness. The sixteenth day is marked by Sorsi Bandhara, a feast with gifts and pusp anjali. This offering of flowers connects to the sixteen siddhis of attainment. The moon’s sixteen kalas influence plant growth and immunity. Planting during the waxing moon yields stronger, pest-resistant plants. Devpuriji possessed such light that he could appear in multiple places simultaneously. He once appeared to Holi Guruji, saying he was going to Europe to help. Immortal saints are present wherever remembered; they never leave. Yet the physical heart still feels longing, for love is boundless. “Anything that has touched your Gurudev, keep it, for one day he or she will no longer be here. But you will treasure that it was her or his blessing.” “I am going to Mahesh… to Europe… but on the way, I saw you sitting here, so I stopped just to bless you.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Don't expect miracles

15:00 - 15:46 | From: 22 Aug 2017
The soul’s journey to Brahmaloka through the guru’s grace demands endless patience, for the guru shepherds the devotee across lifetimes until liberation. Worldly life is everything, but the guru follows the soul to Brahmaloka over vast time. The greatest error is to postpone spiritual effort, saying “Tomorrow” or “Next year.” Expecting swift miracles leads to psychic illness—depression, hallucination, false imagination. The only miracle is death; otherwise, the soul waits long in the queue of other realms. The guru’s blessing, given as shelter, protects the disciple until the journey’s end. Purifying the soul’s accumulated karma, heavy as tons of debris, requires ages. Negative thoughts create parallel difficulties. The guru can grant instant liberation but refrains. A farmer delayed joining the guru due to attachment to his son. He waited for his son’s marriage, then a grandchild, then to repay debts. He died and was reborn as a cow, still attached to family duties. The guru visited, offering liberation, but the soul postponed. As a dog guarding the house, it again delayed. As a cobra shielding its grandchild, it was killed by family. The soul became a worm, the lowest form. The guru placed the worm in a lotus offered to Vishnu. At Vishnu’s lotus feet, the worm attained moksha. The guru’s grace carries the soul to Brahmaloka even when karma worsens. “Do not expect any miracles. And if you want to expect miracles, then you will become psychically ill: depression, hallucination, wrong imagination.” “Even if your karma is getting worse and worse, one day it will be that you will get into the Brahmaloka.” Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Highlights

Gurudev is a goldsmith

17:25 - 18:04 | From 1 Aug 2005
Welcome to the spiritual home. Its atmosphere is a blessing of presence. You have entered the Ashram, which is a Paras-stone. Contact transforms your substance, like iron to gold, but three qualities remain: sharpness, form, and danger. The Satguru, as a goldsmith, can break these with the hammer of knowledge. This process is a beautiful pain. We are here for lectures on Nāda-Yoga and practice. Questions can be submitted for public or private answer. Prayer and singing happen daily. Prasāda, a blessed offering, is distributed. It grants Satbuddhi—good intellect and thoughts—which leads to world peace. It brings Siddhi: health, joy, and prosperity. The divine itself seeks blessing. True value is understood through devotion, not transaction. Distribute prasāda intuitively, not by counting. We also celebrate birthdays and offer collective prayers for specific intentions. Heartfelt good wishes are a powerful blessing. "An iron knife is united with the Paras. What happens? The knife turns into gold." "Prasāda means blessing. Blessing means Prasāda." Filming location: Strelka Ashram, Europe DVD 224

The power of Prayer

18:50 - 19:25 | From 1 Jan 2008
The eternal religion is Sanātana Dharma, the universal union with the cosmic Self. Man-made religions arise from incarnations, but the eternal truth is God, creation, and universal consciousness. All beings are born human, without religious labels; only karma determines the afterlife. Duality and religious violence exist only in the human mind. One must be aware of place and time, respecting the atmosphere of sacred spaces. Prayer must come from the heart as a personal consultation with the divine, emptying anger and hate. Scientific research confirms prayer, meditation, and yoga as treatments for stress and mental illness, yet institutional prejudice remains. Prayer is a spiritual tonic that strengthens mental power and fulfills wishes through complete surrender. The greatest protection is satsaṅg, the company of truth, a boat across the ocean of existence. Liberation comes from cultivating devotion, detachment, knowledge, austerity, and renunciation, not from passions like anger or greed. When lost or in fear, prayer is the emergency medicine that reveals the way. "Your karma is the major thing. Your karma is the most important thing." "Prayer should come from the heart, because it is easy to kneel down, but it's hard to bow the heart." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 220

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
