The Guru Paramparā and the Power of Tapasyā

15:10 - 15:48|Recorded on 4 Jul 2026
The Guru Paramparā transmits knowledge from master to disciple in an unbroken line. The lineage begins with Ādi Guru Śrī Alakhpurījī, a Mahāsiddha Yogī who activated inner realization through tapasyā. Tapasyā is intense sādhanā to awaken the inner self, not suffering. Great yogīs undertake such sādhanā in caves and mountains, leaving an imprint of divinity in those places. The goal of every Mahāpuruṣ is janakalyāṇ—liberating people through the immense śakti gained in tapasyā. Bhakti arises through the spark lit by great yogīs. The devotion between Guru and disciple is reflected in the river Alaknandā, named after Alakhpurījī and Nandā Devī. Viśvagurujī, through vision and sādhanā, identified Alakhpurījī’s form on a mountain. The āśram itself is Viśvagurujī’s Tapobhūmi, imprinted with his consciousness through decades of satsaṅg. Visiting such places, like Alakhpurījī’s cave, brings immediate stillness and lasting effect. "Tapas, when we say he went for tapasyā, that does not mean he is suffering. That means he or she is in the process of intense sādhanā to light that inner jyoti and to awaken that sleeping self." "The goal of every Mahāpuruṣ is Janakalyāṇ. Jana means people, humans, bhaktas. Kalyāṇ means to free them, to liberate them." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Family life

15:55 - 16:34 | From: 20 Feb 2015
The moon governs the mind, and its cycles of saṅkalpa and vikalpa—decision and doubt—create pressure that disrupts family and spiritual harmony. Ancient wisdom worshipped the pure elements within the body as divine, for they sustain life. True spirituality is not renunciation but maintaining purity and positive thought within family life. This path harmonizes with nature, for going against it brings harsh consequences. Modern consumption, especially of poisoned food, is a slow death that disrupts this harmony. Yoga’s divine principles are designed for householders to pass wisdom through generations, balancing work and devotion without judgment or negative thought. A spiritual life unites the family like two wings of one bird, requiring only the shift from negative to positive thinking. "Spirituality means purity, crystal clear, transparent, with our thoughts and our feelings positive." "Yoga means union, uniting the family, harmonizing the family."

The flow of life

16:35 - 16:57 | From: 1 Mar 2006
Life is a flowing river of change, not a fixed circumstance. Each religious path defines its own virtues and sins, creating specific karma for its adherents. Historical interpretations of practice, like the use of wine, are often shaped by climate and later commerce, not original intent. Substances like alcohol are universally dangerous, causing immense suffering, yet are promoted in an age where commerce reigns. When faced with another's wrongdoing, remember that karma delivers consequences; one's duty is to spiritual practice or to depart the situation. Public fears are often magnified for commercial gain, overlooking nature's cycles. Anger over an unlived life is a common crisis, but the entire journey has not passed. One can still act, yet the ultimate preparation is for the next life. Existence is a train ride with a changing view; do not become attached to any single scene. Without spiritual focus, life is incomplete. "Life is like water, which is constantly flowing. When water is flowing, it remains clean. When water is stuck, it becomes spoiled." "Without the name of God, this life is incomplete and not good." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 248

The infinite love and blessing of Vishwaguruji

From 1 Dec 2024
The Guru is the only one near God and understands all. You are all brothers and sisters. God has done everything well, providing this space. The Guru is the highest and will do everything.

I do nothing; you do everything. The knowledge spoken here is the same as in the Bhagavad Gītā, leading to the Supreme God. "I am not the Guru; Swāmījī is the Guru." "I have given you everything. May you get everything that you want." Filming location: Slovenska Vas, Slovenia

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
