Relationships between brothers and sisters

13:50 - 14:47|Recorded on 18 Aug 2016
Rakṣā Bandhan celebrates the sacred bond of brotherhood and sisterhood. This festival reminds us of our fundamental relationships. It is a call to revive the pure, unconditional connections that form society's foundation. The bond between brother and sister exemplifies a love deeper than mere emotion, rooted in protection and promise. True relationships are soul to soul, not based on status or intellect. Brotherhood fosters peace through kindness, respect, and forgiveness, not just words. Cultivating such bonds without condition is the essence of this observance. It is a step toward universal harmony. "Don’t always repeat love, love, love. Respect is love. Protection is love. Kindness is love." "The ancient festivals were not just any festivals; they were there for us to remember in our hearts what bonds, relationships, and what we have promised." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Prayers To Gurudev

14:55 - 16:01 | From: 11 May 2014
The Divine Mother is the first form of God, and the Guru is that divine consciousness. Every day is Mother's Day. The Upaniṣad states: "Mātṛ Devo Bhava"—God is the mother first. See God as a merciful mother, not as a punisher. People die by their own karma, not by God's hand. Feel close to God. Do not cause pain to any mother, human or animal. Surrender all responsibility to the divine. Realization of the Gurudev is self-realization; it is not an object to be given. The disciple's consciousness must transform to see the Guru as the divine. The Guru is not the body but the Ātmā—the pure, universal consciousness within all. This consciousness is like the sky: omnipresent, pure, and indescribable. Meditate on this truth to awaken. Duality is an illusion; there is only oneness. Serve this divine consciousness without condition. "God does not kill anyone. People die through their own karma." "The Guru is Ātmā, not this body, not this mind, not this intellect." Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

The Path of Oṃ, Yoga, and Inner Purification

16:05 - 17:04 | From: 19 Jan 2020
The path of yoga and the sound of Oṃ leads to liberation. Learning Oṃ is easy, but many do not fully intone it. Understanding yoga begins with Aum. Chanting Oṃ from the navel to the crown chakra makes meditation peaceful. Prāṇāyāma serves physical health and yogic consciousness. Modern practice often focuses only on postures, but yoga has no competition; challenge arises from ego. True practice is for all, not only ascetics. Laziness is not yoga. The body contains 72,000 nāḍīs, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā being primary. These channels influence health and mind. The Viśuddhi Cakra purifies poison, like anger, which harms the body. Unresolved anger causes suffering in relationships and health. Small grievances create major pain; clear them immediately. Inner purification through the chakras cleanses negativity. Practice requires discipline, not using meditation as an escape. The face reveals one's inner state; nothing can be hidden. Various yogas lead to supreme consciousness. Meditation means focusing only on the mantra to find inner peace. "According to yogic sādhanā, if we can understand what yoga is, then the first path is definitely Aum." "In yoga, there is no competition and no challenge. We do not give the challenge. If you want to give the challenge, then it means you have lost, because now you are the ego."

Pure faith can melt a rock

17:10 - 17:55 | From: 15 Feb 2015
The human life is a precious chance to purify karma through dharma and faith. Inner purification depends on positive feelings and faith in oneself, which extends to faith in God. Without faith, nothing progresses. Lucky are those born with spiritual guidance, and liberated are those who cultivate spiritual qualities. The ultimate blessing is meeting a true Satguru. Non-duality is the path to self-realization; see all as yourself to dissolve jealousy and ego. We fail by clinging to liking and disliking, a thorny bush trapping us in suffering. To live, you must die to the ego, like a seed in the ground. Faith is the candle in darkness; with it, everything is possible, including enduring necessary karmic suffering. Doubt hardens the heart. Trust yourself; negative thoughts are your own mistake. Be like the sun, bringing light. "Lucky are they who have got a human body, lucky are they who have got good spiritual parents." "Where there is faith, there is God. Where there is faith, there is success. And where there is faith, there is liberation." Filming location: Sunshine Coast, Australia

Gurudev is residing in our hearts

18:00 - 19:31 | From: 15 Jul 2025
The necessity of a living guru and spiritual family is paramount for crossing the ocean of worldly existence. A solitary traveler on the path will inevitably stumble on obstacles like jealousy, pride, and ego. The guidance of a self-realized master provides the essential light. When one joins a spiritual family, differences and minor confusions may arise, but the united sangha, guided by the guru, moves forward together. Different yogic paths are like rivers merging into the same ocean. Complete surrender to the guru reduces the karmic effects one must face, though challenges will still return. The guru's divine flame resides within each disciple; our sadhana is the fuel that keeps it burning. Faith creates a protective sphere. The guru, like a father, foresees and mitigates difficulties before they fully manifest. He resides in every heart; invoking him within solves problems. Use your discrimination but have unwavering trust. The bond with one's Sadguru is eternal and unbreakable. Stick together as one family; unity provides strength and stability that the winds of adversity cannot overcome. "Without a Guru, it is impossible to cross that ocean." "Once a guru, forever a guru."

Highlights

Be in the Living Presence of Gurudev

0:50 - 1:14 | From 1 Apr 2008
Spiritual progress rests on two pillars: motivation and practice. Motivation comes from teachings, yet clarity often arrives suddenly after long exposure. However, understanding alone is insufficient; you must undertake the practical journey. Practice requires continuity, not sporadic effort. Remote learning provides motivation but lacks the reality of a Master's physical presence, which is essential for receiving certain techniques and individual guidance. Some advanced group practices should only be done collectively under the Master's energy, as solo attempts cause difficulties. Yet, a daily personal meditation is beneficial. True experience differs from recorded representations; being physically present is transformative. Spiritual growth demands surrendering negative qualities like ego and greed. Theoretical knowledge alone is temporary; real growth requires internal change, honest self-acceptance, and the discipline fostered in a live setting. "Yoga is not for the general. Yoga is individual." "The seed you put in the ground has to die." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 410

The qualities of the Satguru

22:45 - 22:58 | From 6 Dec 2025
The mantra describes the qualities of the true guru. It is the ultimate bliss and the giver of the highest happiness. The guru is the sole embodiment of knowledge, beyond all duality. The guru is equal to all, like the sky. The guru is described by the great pronouncements like "thou art that." The guru is one, eternal, pure, and steady. The guru is the witness of everything. The guru is beyond worldly involvement and identification with experience. The guru is without the three qualities of nature. One salutes that true guru. These are the required attributes. If considering oneself a guru, one must check for all these qualities. "Brahmanandam paramasukhadam." "Sadguruṁ taṁ namāmi." 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
