Learn to renounce

20:25 - 21:13|Recorded on 20 Sep 2016
Health is the foundation for a holistic life encompassing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Modern life imposes great stress on the body and mind. Aging brings a natural weakening and the challenge of attachments to possessions and family. There is also a prevalent fear not of death itself, but of a painful and dependent dying process. Yoga in Daily Life is designed as a graduated system to address these human conditions. It provides tailored practices for body, breath, and mind to reduce anxiety and cultivate inner peace. The ultimate aim is to realize a state of oneness where the knower, knowledge, and object merge, leading to freedom from fear. "Tons of theory is nothing compared to a gram of practice." "The knowledge, the knower, and the object. These three merge into oneness."

Be careful with diet

21:20 - 22:01 | From: 6 Jul 2018
Modern health suffers from a lost connection to natural food and cooking. Most physical and mental unwellness stems from poor diet and heart. Commercial foods like bread contain unknown, harmful ingredients such as feather powder and hair. Humanity's great mistake is forgetting how to cook and use nature's bounty, like medicinal trees. People discard beneficial plants, such as the babul tree, which can cure many ailments. They chase artificial, advertised foods devoid of life force, or prāṇa. True nourishment requires learning to properly prepare vegetables with correct spices. Return to home cooking, abandon junk food, and use natural ingredients to ensure health. "Eighty-six percent are not healthy because the heart and the diet are not good." "Eighty percent of diseases in women can be cured through only this babul." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Seed of Transformation: From Suffering to Surrender

22:05 - 22:46 | From: 17 Jul 2026
The seed of transformation requires watering and surrender. We plant a seed and water it through satsaṅg. The seed cracks open and grows. Initial growth is invisible, like bamboo strengthening roots. Suffering is universal. We distract ourselves from suffering with busyness and joy, but these are momentary. We ask: who is suffering? The "my" in "my problems" is imaginary, revealed when comfort zones shake. Problems are often self-created and solvable. We give problems to the divine but forget to share happiness. Neither happiness nor sadness belongs to us; the ātmā is the observer. Desire for more distracts from inner work. Peace comes without external things. Spiritual development requires our own effort; the guru lights the flame, but we must fuel it. Teachings are for ourselves, not others. Be the change. Selfless service brings lasting joy, unlike expectation-driven actions. Remove "you" and "me" to become "we." The mind is a dust-covered mirror; each practice removes a layer. Surrender all—success, failure, qualities, flaws—to the divine. Live like a lotus in muddy water, untouched. "Every lock has a key. Every problem has a solution." "We need to realize that neither this happiness is ours, nor this sadness is ours." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A Gathering at the Mahāprabhū Dīp Satsaṅg

22:50 - 23:40 | From: 9 Jul 2020
This ashram is a center for yoga, culture, and harmony. It is maintained by devotees and supports the local village. People visit from across Europe and beyond for its peaceful atmosphere, clean air, and spiritual education. We offer teachings on Sanskrit, Indian scriptures, and European culture, maintaining a balance. The foundation promotes a sattvic lifestyle, including vegetarian and vegan food, emphasizing ahimsa. Veganism is a spiritual step to prevent animal suffering, like not taking milk from calves or honey from bees. Similarly, parents should care for their own children rather than use kindergartens. Preserve your native culture and language even when traveling; do not abandon your roots. Each country has its own beautiful culture. Yoga, especially the Sarvahitāsana practice, is the essential science for health of body, mind, and spirit. Practice daily. Avoid white sugar and junk food. You are welcome to visit this home anytime. "Vegetarian is like a vegan, but more... very straight and very spiritual." "Yoga is a science of the body, a science of the mind, a science of spirituality, and a science of the best practices." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The glory of Satsang

23:45 - 1:10 | From: 9 May 2017
There are two paths: pātan (fall, distraction) and uṭhān (upliftment, development). Both paths sprout from one seed. That seed is saṅga, the company kept. Negative company leads to downfall; positive, spiritual company leads to development. Movement itself brings achievement, but the direction of movement is determined by association. The same source can manifest as divine energy or demonic energy, both dormant in consciousness. Culture and saṃskāras received on a parent’s lap guide this potential. Yet destiny, shaped by those associations and actions, ultimately determines the outcome. A story from scripture illustrates this. Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī tested a wealthy merchant’s devotion. Viṣṇu came as a sādhu seeking a fixed seat for four months. Lakṣmī came as a sādhu demanding the same room and throwing away everything after a single use. The merchant, choosing the allure of māyā over his given word, expelled Viṣṇu. Then Lakṣmī also left, revealing the merchant’s devotion was never to the divine but to worldly wealth. Thus, one’s company reveals one’s true devotion. The street of love is too narrow for two; duality must dissolve into oneness. Satsaṅg—true company—is the path to that unity. Neither happiness, heaven, nor Brahmaloka are difficult to attain, for everything is found in satsaṅg. “Prem Gali Ati Shankari, Jisme Do Nahi Samay. When I was here, God was not here. And now God is here, I am not here.” “Neither happiness, nor pleasure, nor heaven, nor Brahmaloka are difficult to attain — all is found in satsaṅg.” Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

The Purpose of Human Life and the Wish‑Fulfilling Grace of the Guru

9:05 - 10:26 | From 8 Dec 2025
Satsang is rare, obtained through merits gathered across many lifetimes. Human life’s purpose is not merely eating, drinking, sleeping, and raising family. Animals also do these things. True purpose is coming to saints’ feet to purify the mind. Saints come to unite beings with God and dispel darkness. The Guru is a wish-fulfilling tree, granting according to faith and devotion. A person saw a saint as a buffalo, then after chanting a mantra, saw him as human, then a deva, and finally recognized the divine. Purification of the mind happens through steady practice. Another story tells of a man under a Kalpavriksha who imagined food and rest, and they appeared, but the story breaks off, showing the mind’s uncontrolled state. The boatman Kevat asked only for grace to cross the ocean of existence, not wealth. When going to saints, ask only for devotion and peace of mind. The world is like a dream; only the divine is real. Truth exists unchanged in past, present, and future. God pervades every particle. Always remember the Divine, engage in devotion, and the boat of life will cross. Satsang is a priceless jewel, not always available. Use the body’s support to embrace this joy fully. "The Sadguru, the divine Lord who comes, is like a wish-fulfilling tree. Whatever imagination one holds, whatever faith, whatever devotion, that fruit is received." "Bhagavān Śiva says, 'Umā, I share my experience: true worship is of Bhagavān alone; Bhagavān is truth. This world is a dream.'" 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
