Yagya

21:55 - 22:54|Recorded on 15 Mar 2019
The sacred union of marriage is a spiritual dharma that creates a single entity for the journey toward heaven. Husband and wife reunite through their astral bodies after death, regardless of who departs first. This union is essential for performing a proper yajña, requiring a sympathetic couple. Dharma, or cosmic justice, is administered by Dharmarāja and Yamarāja, with Śiva as their master. A married couple is like a bird with two wings; divorce breaks these wings and the spiritual path. The promise made during marriage is sacred, given upon a holy book to the divine principle itself, not merely to a priest. Breaking this promise invokes the justice of Dharmarāja and the consequences of Yama. For those who mutually choose a celibate spiritual path while honoring their bond, the way to heaven remains open. The ceremonial fire of yajña, using pure substances like guggul, aligns the couple on the dharmic path. Similarly, the guru-disciple relationship through dīkṣā is a sacred bond not to be abandoned. One must remain faithful to one's spiritual master as to one's mother. "Husband and wife, having already walked their path in this life, will reunite through their astral bodies in another part of the universe." "A bird cannot fly without wings. When you have married once... It means broken wings, broken legs, a broken heart. That is not your path." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Cultural tolerance

0:05 - 0:40 | From: 27 Feb 2017
A nation must protect its culture and language, but large nations must not destroy small ones. True harmony requires adopting the ancient Vedic science, which speaks of unity, not a single God. India is the cradle of culture, hosting many languages without conflict, just as a garden holds many trees. Yet, we are destroying our environment, digging mountains and polluting our world. Yoga is not merely physical practice; it is the harmony of body, mind, and soul for inner peace. We must change ourselves first, as charity begins at home. Commercialization misuses yoga's true purpose, which is selfless action and simple living. Our culture is being lost to restless influences, while the ancient wisdom of peace is forgotten. We must control our negative energies and make a resolve for positive change, for anger destroys spiritual progress. True peace comes from within and through self-discipline. "Be the change you want to see." "Yoga in life is designed to bring peace, harmony, understanding, and happiness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Continue Your sadhana

0:45 - 1:13 | From: 1 Nov 2006
The continuity of spiritual practice requires unwavering motivation and love, which are easily lost. Many begin practices but fail to maintain them, like teachers who instruct yet do not practice themselves. Starting is easy, like building a house, but continuation demands inner effort. Your aim provides motivation; losing it means losing your path. Sādhanā is the bucket to draw water from the well, and motivation is the rope. If the rope of willpower breaks near the top, all progress is lost. Negative thinking rots this rope. Doubt is a bacterium that can kill mighty motivation. A story tells of a yogi ready to quit after forty fruitless years. Watching an ant persistently carry a grain up a tree, falling and trying again, taught him never to give up. Life has problems and noise, like a water pump; to have water, you must accept the noise. Problems are the school of life and will never be fully solved. Therefore, you must find time for sādhanā. When love is lost, everything is lost. Water your practice with love, care, and wisdom, as a dry plant revives with water, light, and fertilizer. This harmony for body, mind, and soul is possible only if you do it. "Your negative thinking towards your aim is very bad. You should not have this thinking." "Love is lost; everything is lost. Then you have no motivation." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 311

Mahaprabhuji is endless joy

1:15 - 1:34 | From: 5 Dec 2000
Worldly joy is fleeting and contains hidden sorrow, but divine joy is endless. Human happiness is brief and intertwined with suffering, for every gain conceals equal or greater pain. Only the Supreme One's joy is boundless. An incarnate liberator provides a living refuge beyond scriptures. Merely reading teachings without following them brings no solution. True peace is found not in escape but in unwavering devotion to that divine source. "Blessed is the land where the Divine Soul incarnates, Satguru Dev." "We are those birds. We want to fly away... Again, only in God can we come and rest." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 183b

We Are Born To Help

3:00 - 3:29 | From 1 Sep 2004
Modern life is fast and difficult, creating inner struggle. The practice shown here addresses this. True connection transcends physical distance through love. This love must be awakened to fulfill human duties: protecting the environment, showing kindness, and fostering mutual understanding across all religions and cultures. All are one, united by the same divine consciousness within every being. Preserving one's own traditional culture, language, and customs is vital for protecting society's ethical values. Every culture is beautiful and deserves respect. Yoga in Daily Life is not mere exercise but a 24-hour practice integrating non-violence, responsibility, and dignity into all actions, thoughts, and relations. Humans must learn the highest form of giving: humble forgiveness. We are born to help, as seen in projects providing water and education. The future depends on parents prioritizing love and character education for children over money or position. This integrated system aims to create a healthy, free-thinking society. Yoga is a universal principle of body, mind, and consciousness, older than any religion, leading to freedom through love, service, and kindness. "Where there is love, there is no distance. If there is no love, even the neighbor’s house is millions of kilometers away." "Culture, religion, and humans are very close; you cannot separate them. They have to be in one place, and that is why every culture should be kept alive." Filming location: Croatia DVD 192B

Organic farming in Netherlands

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."
