Around the world - Yoga from Presov

9:00 - 10:09|Recorded on 4 Feb 2011
A guided yoga practice for advanced students cultivates relaxation and inner awareness. Begin in a seated posture with calming breath and mantras. Systematically relax each part of the body through focused awareness and breath, releasing from the feet to the head. This deep relaxation prepares the body for asana. Practice gentle stretches and poses like the cradle pose and a twisting backbend to release the spine and sides. Advance to seated postures including a bow shape and Cow's Face pose, emphasizing breath, alignment, and holding the positions. Conclude with breath observation and a breathing exercise focusing on the nostrils to clear energetic channels. Integrate the effects of the practice in final relaxation. "With each inhalation, prāṇa, the vital cosmic energy, is drawn into my body." "Prāṇāyāma is a breathing exercise. Throughout the entire breath, remain focused on the nostrils."

Around the world - Hidden beauty

10:15 - 10:37 | From: 4 Feb 2011
The highest principle is non-violence, meaning no killing. Every soul is a divine cell; all creatures of the universe are my cells. Therefore, love them, feed them, and do not eat them. Humans are meant to be protectors, not destroyers. Consider a garden with a fence to protect it from wild animals. If the fence itself destroys the garden, it fails its purpose. Our duty is to protect the environment, nature, and all life. Destroying the world contradicts our divine role. "The highest principle is Ahiṃsā, which is Allah." "When the last tree is cut down and the last fish dies, oh man, then you will realize that you cannot eat your dollars."

The relation between mother and child

10:40 - 10:57 | From: 24 Aug 2021
The heart's warmth is the divine love that animates all care and protection. This inner blessing is like a mother's voice speaking within a child. All creatures, from cows to birds, instinctively protect and warm their young. This nurturing impulse points to a deeper, spiritual heart within humans, called Kaljā. We must protect this inner heart and extend its care to all beings. Many people are hidden, eating meat without awareness, sometimes influenced by their parents. True spiritual practice requires this compassionate awareness. If we harm creatures, we create suffering and distance from the divine. Yoga is not just practice; it is this heart and the hymn within it. To be a yogi is to live this unity daily, which includes not consuming meat or alcohol. Our love should extend beyond our own pets to all life. We must seek forgiveness for any harm and move toward cosmic unity. "All creatures know, and they want to live, and the mother is always, always taking care." "Yoga is our heart. And in our heart is the, how to call it, the hymn."

Vegetarian cooking lesson 11, Kadhi soup, Okra and chapatis

11:00 - 11:14 | From: 29 Jun 2014
Today we prepare gāṭṭā kadhi, a dish from the Marwa region. The gāṭṭā is a dough made from chickpea flour, yoghurt, salt, turmeric, chilli, and optional ginger and cumin. Mix it only with yoghurt to avoid a soft dough. The sticky dough is like worldly attachment; using oil on your hands is like using the oil of wisdom to handle it. Roll the oiled dough into thin pieces and boil them for 10-15 minutes. Test doneness by seeing if a piece breaks when pulled. Cut the cooked gāṭṭā and add it to the kadhi to cook further. Serve with chapati and a vegetable dish like bitter gourd. For chapati, make dough soft as an earlobe, roll it round without wrinkles, and cook it on proper heat until it puffs up. Ajwain in the dough is healthy. Marwa cuisine uses local, natural ingredients. "When we touch the besan dough, it sticks very quickly. Then we use the oil of wisdom, which gets rid of the attachment, and then we have the dough nicely prepared." "The people living there eat only regional food. They know the leaves and fruits growing in their area." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Christmas with Swamiji in Vienna

11:20 - 12:21 | From: 4 Dec 2014
We celebrate the arrival of Jesus, a festival of peace, love, and unity. The world needs light, both physical and the divine light of wisdom within every being. Since organized religion began, division has followed, unlike the universal, indivisible consciousness of Sanātana Dharma. Human greed creates ownership and mental pollution, which is more dangerous than physical waste. Before a bomb destroys others, it destroys itself; similarly, negative thoughts first harm the one who holds them. We are called not to judge, but to forgive and to hate the sin, not the sinner. Modern celebrations have become materialistic and polluting, especially with single-use plastics, which now seem immortal. The true gift is non-material, offered openly without harmful packaging. Our spiritual duty is selfless service, to pass on immortal wisdom. A true disciple, like Jesus, endures suffering without abandoning principle to deliver a divine message. We must write and share immortal wisdom through devotion and trust. "Forgive them; they do not know what they are doing." "We hate the sin, but not the sinner." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

15:45 - 16:47 | From 20 Jul 2026
The sacred ritual of Abhiṣeka and the path of Yoga. The ritual begins with invocations to Gaṇapati, various deities, and blessings for long life and removal of obstacles. A saṅkalpa is declared for performing Rudra Abhiṣeka with water offerings for all devotees. The ceremony involves worship of Sphaṭika Maheśvara and the Śiva Parivāra. A series of ritual baths are offered, including water, milk, curd, honey, sugar, and pañcāmṛta. Further offerings include sandalwood paste, sacred ash, flowers, and incense. The ritual continues with Vedic chants, hymns to Śiva, and the Gāyatrī mantra. An āratī ceremony is performed with offerings of light. The worship concludes with a puṣpāñjali and declarations of victory to various deities. The entire performance is a liturgical act of devotion, not a lecture.

The Fourth Sri Swami Maheshwaranands Festival of Spiritual Music (4/4)

21:30 - 22:40 | From 7 Sep 2025
Worldly life is impermanent, and the only true refuge is in the saint. All worldly relationships and possessions are temporary. The body is a temporary guesthouse, and the mind is a fleeting traveler. Wealth, family, and status are all subject to change and loss. This impermanence is the source of all suffering. The only permanent shelter is found in the company and grace of the true saint. The saint's teachings and divine name are the sole anchors in this transient existence. By taking refuge in the saint, one transcends the cycle of birth and death. "Everything in this world is temporary; only the saint's refuge is permanent." "Without the saint's refuge, there is no peace, only the endless cycle of suffering." Filming location: 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
