Bhramari and bhramari pranayama

11:20 - 11:52|Recorded on 2 Feb 2021
Brahmari Pranayama balances the nervous system and refines the voice. This practice is derived from the bee known as Brahmari. The female bee constructs a nest with intricate passages. She captures a specific worm and places it inside. She nourishes it until it develops wings and emerges as a new bee. The yogic practice mimics this process of internal transformation through sound. One method involves gently biting the teeth together. This directs resonance to the temples, balancing the Ida and Pingala nerve channels. It alleviates certain tensions and improves speech. Another method keeps the lips closed but the teeth apart. This directs energy upward toward the crown chakras. Both techniques significantly benefit singers and speakers by refining vocal quality and release. Practice should be avoided during an active headache. "The sound goes from our ears and comes back here to the temple area." "This prāṇāyāma balances both nerve systems, Iḍā and Piṅgalā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Be careful with diet

12:00 - 12:41 | 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

Vedic ceremonies can help us

12:45 - 13:23 | From: 30 Jul 2017
The foundations of a blessed human life are found in ancient Vedic science. Modern living has caused the loss of essential traditions, defined as āhāra (nourishment), vihāra (association), ācāra (behavior), and vicāra (thought). From these, your thoughts arise. You must control the ten senses like horses and purify your thoughts. Performing yajña ceremonies with proper Vastu measurements provides a method to solve life's difficulties and gain access to God. The fireplace is the mouth of God; mantras invite devas to remove negative energy. This is an eternal science. The presence of the Sadguru multiplies the benefit of mantra and offering a hundred thousandfold. "To make this human life blessed, you and I are present at the feet of the Guru." "Through performing these yajña ceremonies, we will be led to our destination." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Monkey-Minded Seeker: Desire, True Wisdom, and the Art of Coping

13:30 - 14:09 | From: 4 Apr 2020
Desire for supernatural powers leads to monkey-mind, while true wisdom is cultivated through steady practice and acceptance. Supernatural powers are not gained by mere wishing. A flower grows when an expert plants a seed, waters it, and lets time unfold. A seeker yearned for levitation, yet gurus refused to grant powers easily. He walked to a Tibetan monastery. Monks asked no questions; a bell rang for meals, leaving fasting voluntary. An old monk knew his desire and offered meditation. The seeker refused, demanding only powers. The monk imparted a mantra with a warning: do not think of monkeys while reciting. Instantly, monkeys filled his mind, blocking all practice. He returned to the monk in frustration. Instructing the mind to avoid something makes it fixate there. True progress comes through yoga and meditation. Rise during Brahma Muhurta, touch the earth in respect, then silently touch your parents’ feet. At this hour, cosmic energies intensify your mantra and kriya. Lord Rama’s life was suffering—exile, wife’s abduction, fire ordeal—yet he coped without comparing. When joy comes, be cheerful; when pain comes, discover your strength. Never compare your life to another’s. Be content as you are, while striving sincerely. Equanimity in all circumstances creates a perfect being. "Do not think of monkeys. Do not think of monkeys while reciting." "Meditation will benefit you far more through yoga. What will you do with such powers?" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Learn to renounce

14:15 - 15:03 | From: 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."

The Guru Gītā and the Path of the Disciple

19:35 - 20:34 | From 26 Jul 2026
The Guru Gītā and the Path of the Disciple The Guru Gītā is the foundation of morning sādhanā and the disciple's relationship to the Guru. The Guru Gītā comes from the Skandapurāṇa. Western mentality demands clear specification, only one true guru, and fears the wrong guru leads to hell. Advaita Vedānta sees all fires as real fire, just as all gurus manifest the Guru Tattva. Kangaroos jump from system to system with strong Mūlādhāra and oily New Age ideas. The Guru is the ship and the bridge across the ocean of māyā. Oils, gemstones, and rudrākṣa do not save; only practice saves. No one can practice for another. The real guru is your guru, with respect for all gurus. Vyāsa means compiler, not inventor; knowledge began with Śiva as consciousness. The Guru Gītā exists in versions of 182, 216, and 352 verses. Swāmījī removed unnecessary verses about āsana benefits and directions. Trust in Gurudev removes fear of planets, evil eye, and black magic. Doubt and depression are normal in discipleship. Transformation is painful, like the wasp and the worm. The wasp is the Guru; initiation is the sting; satsaṅg is the repeated sound. Secret knowledge means only the brave who dive deep can see the ocean floor. Pārvatī asks Śiva on Kailāśa to explain the Guru, and the Guru Gītā begins. "Real guru for you is your guru. And you have respect for all other gurus." "Only those who are able to hear that knowledge will hear that knowledge." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A Heartfelt Prayer and the Path of Remembrance

20:40 - 21:09 | From 17 Jul 2026
The path of remembrance is a heartfelt prayer of surrender and the practice of chanting to purify and connect. Chant the name constantly, never forget, never let it leave the heart. It does not matter if one is a sinner, failing, or cheating. However one is, one belongs to the divine. Life is wasted in attachments to house, family, obstacles. One is full of sadness, full of suffering. The prayer removes all suffering, all impurities. One is a servant, a dust particle at the feet. One is alone in this mortal world. Do not forget, remove all sins, all faults. This prayer to the teacher removes all these things. Learning happens through repetition: part by part, then fast, then slow. Whatever is to be remembered must be repeated at least twenty-four times. Practice makes a master. "However I am, I am yours." "Practice makes a man a master. And not only men, but also women."

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
