Diwali Satsang with Vishwaguruji

4:35 - 5:50|Recorded on 11 Nov 2015
Diwali is the festival of light, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance. This ancient Vedic tradition celebrates the incarnation of divine light and the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana. The lighting of lamps represents the inner soul and the spiritual light within every individual. This light is the knowledge of the self, or atma jnana, which dispels suffering and negativity. The Guru guides disciples from darkness to this inner light. Diwali is also a time for new beginnings, forgiveness, and renewal of relationships, marking a personal and collective spiritual new year. The festival connects the cosmic narrative to the inner journey, where following the Guru's path leads to liberation. "The light of the dipaka, the Diwali light, is within every one of us." "Diwali is the greatest festival for humans to learn to be in the light, not in the darkness." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A Meditation Instruction

6:00 - 6:50 | From: 23 Aug 2022
A meditation instruction on posture and focus. Place your right hand over the heart and left hand over the navel, resting lightly. Keep both legs straight. Inhale and exhale normally. The eyes are open, but awareness is directed inward toward the heart. Do not let concentration waver. We perform a small, nameless devotional song that is meditation-like. The practice is simply to be present with this focus. "Eyes are open, our awareness is on our chest." "Do not let your concentration waver, everyone."

The relation between Guru and disciple

6:55 - 7:59 | From: 2 Jan 2023
The grace of the Satguru is the sole means to the supreme state, dissolving all conflict and revealing the indestructible self. Through the Guru's grace, one is immersed in bliss, and all faults are washed away. The Guru's lineage carries this divine authority. The Guru transmits the essential teaching, sometimes through a single word that blossoms into full understanding. A true disciple embodies the Guru's presence, becoming a conduit for that grace. The relationship is demonstrated through obedience, as in the disciple who faithfully goes for alms as instructed. The bond between Guru and disciple is eternal, transcending material offerings and physical presence. The Guru's work is like a seed that bears fruit across generations, propagating the truth. "Through the Satguru's grace, my great conflict is dissolved." "The one who has a Guru, that Guru is the one who is one." Filming locations: Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India

The way to the Light

8:05 - 9:09 | From: 6 Dec 2015
Satsaṅg is the company of truth that leads to spiritual development. Truth is the unchanging reality, Brahman, while the changing world is temporary. The soul descends through various births, bound by past karma, to experience life on Earth. Humans possess intellect and freedom of choice, making them responsible for creating new karma. The soul is a mixture of the individual consciousness and the universal Self. Through human life, one can purify karma and realize the true Self. Education and company from childhood shape one's mentality and path. Good society, or satsaṅg, inspires positive development, while bad society, or kusaṅga, leads to distraction and suffering. Temptations like addiction appear attractive but ultimately ensnare. True friendship is a partnership walking the path of truth. One should seek the company that elevates consciousness and makes good resolutions. "Sat means truth, and that truth is what we call brahma satya, jagat mithyā." "Humans have a different law... that is called intellect, which has the capacity of saṅkalpa and vikalpa." Filming location: Moravske Toplice, Slovenia

Use your Viveka

9:15 - 10:23 | From: 1 Aug 2017
Karma is action through body, breath, and thought; everything from digestion to thinking is karma. Past life karma is a dormant seed that sprouts into present destiny. Humans possess awareness and intellect to comprehend their actions. The mind's fluctuations, or vṛttis, generate karma and cause suffering, as they are known only to oneself and the divine. True Hatha Yoga consists of six purification techniques, not merely postures. Modern stress retreats and commercialized Ayurveda are often misrepresented. One must use discernment to see the true nature of actions, as temptation often masks emptiness. Ultimately, we arrive with closed fists and depart with empty hands, taking nothing from this life. "Anything that happens through your body, through your breath, through your thoughts, through your actions, everything is called karma." "Better to do the karma than nothing."

Around the World - A Journey of Remembrance and Reverence

17:00 - 17:07 | From 10 Jan 2026
I recently traveled to pay respects at the samādhi of a revered female ascetic. She was the first female Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara in our tradition, renowned for memorizing sacred texts from a very young age and receiving a title for it. She had a large spiritual family of disciples managing various ashrams. We shared a good connection from past meetings at gatherings and when she visited our Guru. Upon learning of her passing, I journeyed through the night to attend the funeral procession in Ahmedabad, which culminated in her burial at a chosen site outside the city alongside other senior ascetics. It was a full 24-hour journey of remembrance. "She was the first female Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara in our Akhāṛā." "Her wish was to have her samādhi in Hargośālā." 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
