Gurudev is a goldsmith

15:10 - 15:49|Recorded on 1 Aug 2005
Welcome to the spiritual home. Its atmosphere is a blessing of presence. You have entered the Ashram, which is a Paras-stone. Contact transforms your substance, like iron to gold, but three qualities remain: sharpness, form, and danger. The Satguru, as a goldsmith, can break these with the hammer of knowledge. This process is a beautiful pain. We are here for lectures on Nāda-Yoga and practice. Questions can be submitted for public or private answer. Prayer and singing happen daily. Prasāda, a blessed offering, is distributed. It grants Satbuddhi—good intellect and thoughts—which leads to world peace. It brings Siddhi: health, joy, and prosperity. The divine itself seeks blessing. True value is understood through devotion, not transaction. Distribute prasāda intuitively, not by counting. We also celebrate birthdays and offer collective prayers for specific intentions. Heartfelt good wishes are a powerful blessing. "An iron knife is united with the Paras. What happens? The knife turns into gold." "Prasāda means blessing. Blessing means Prasāda." Filming location: Strelka Ashram, Europe DVD 224

Influence Of The Full Moon

15:55 - 16:52 | From: 25 Apr 2013
The moon's influence connects nature, human consciousness, and spiritual practice. The full moon profoundly affects our emotions and the natural world. In scripture, moonlight is a nectar entering vegetation, linked to the idea of a honeymoon, where honey symbolizes health and immortality. We must protect bees, crucial for this nectar, as their decline is an ecological disaster. A practitioner should be like a bee, extracting only the good from the world without causing harm. The bee's hum is its mantra. To balance the moon's strong energy, one may fast on a full moon day. The moon symbolizes emotion; like ocean waves, high emotions obscure clarity, so important decisions should wait for calm. Our journey involves consciousness moving through energy centers, from the root, which holds past karma, to higher states. We must purify subconscious desires in this life to avoid future suffering. True practice involves healthy living, compassion, and meditation to perceive the divine beauty in all existence, living purely like a lotus in a polluted world. "Arjuna, I enter into the vegetation as a nectar through the moonlight." "If you would like to have all as your friends, then give up harsh words." Filming location: New York, USA

Around the world - Inauguration Nandeshwar

17:00 - 17:05 | From: 6 Jul 2022
Yoga progresses from physical practice to the realization of the supreme Self. The foundation is Āsana, the physical posture. Remaining only there is mere exercise. One must proceed to Prāṇāyāma to steady the mind, then Pratyāhāra to withdraw the senses. This leads to Dhāraṇā, concentration, and then unbroken Dhyāna, meditation. Yet meditation retains duality. Samādhi dissolves this, unifying knower, knowing, and known into Turīya, the fourth state. The ultimate goal is beyond even this: Turīyātīta, the transcendent Conscious Principle, the Self of absolute Existence, Consciousness, and Bliss. All practices are a boat to cross the river; upon reaching the far shore, the boat is left behind. "All practices—Āsana, Prāṇāyāma, Dhyāna—are merely the boat to cross the river." "This is not a state to be attained; it is our very essence, the Chetan Puruṣa, the Conscious Principle."

Around the World - Nadlac

17:10 - 17:18 | From: 31 May 2018
Yoga is a practice for both body and mind. It is not merely physical exercise. The postures and breathing are tools to calm the mind and bring inner peace. A quiet mind is the true goal. This inner stillness allows you to connect with your true self. Through consistent practice, the body becomes healthier and the mind becomes clearer. This harmony within reflects as peace in the world. "Yoga for Body and Mind." "I wish for peace in the whole world, and for you, I wish good health, peace, harmony, prosperity, and progress."

The Ocean and the Drop

17:25 - 17:57 | From: 23 Jun 2021
The individual soul is a drop from the divine ocean. We are all that divine essence, like a drop from the ocean. Modern science can be used for good or harm, but the ancient yogic science guides only toward good. Our true nature is divine; each cell in the body is God. We are the drop that has temporarily separated. This drop may land in a barren place, but it will inevitably return to the ocean. We are very close to that unity now. All names and forms are of the one God. The soul does not die; it merges. Our prayers should extend kindness to all life. Among billions of life forms, only humans possess the understanding to realize this truth. The path is within, through the heart and meditation, using practices like mantra to return focus inward. External roles are just garments; the inner realization is what matters. "All animals, all, but humans more, we know that. And we are the drop of that." "Only life, the soul, the life have only one door." Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Highlights

The Inner Longing and the Practice of Om

23:30 - 0:39 | From 7 Jun 2025
The inner longing for joy turns one inside through Om. We are always searching for everlasting joy, safety, peace. Saints say, go inside. Mīrābāī cries out, “I cannot live without you.” Creation came out of Om. Saints know this Aum secret and abide in bliss, that consciousness. Through practice we purify the kośas and contact the higher self, eternal consciousness. From Om arise the guṇas, then māyā, the world. We are like a fish thirsty in water. Om is the highest symbol of God. Repetition of Om awakens divine light, destroying worldly sorrows. Without Aum practice is incomplete. Through Aum comes ānanda; all karmas are purified, blocked energies opened. The guru incarnates again and again to give this knowledge and practice for realization. He shows the path to independence, needing nothing. Repeat the name of God without wasting time. After many lives, longing arises and the guru finds you. Give up passion, anger, pride, greed, jealousy; nothing belongs to you. “I am like a lotus without water, or a dark night without a moon.” “Through the chanting of Aum you will cross the ocean of the world.” Filming location: Debrecen, Hungary

The Spiritual Significance of Bhajans: Surrender, Awakening, and Union

22:15 - 23:26 | From 7 Jun 2025
The spiritual significance of bhajans is surrender, awakening, and union. Lay the whole burden of life in the Divine's hands. Live in the world selflessly, pure as a lotus on water. The body is a fine shawl, born with divine breath, but ignorance stains it. Through devotion, purify it. Seek shelter from anxieties and the net of maya. Repeat the name. Meeting the true Guru destroys all doubts and reveals God within the heart. The inner flame unites with the eternal. Karmas are crossed. Awake from the sleep of ignorance; human life is a precious diamond, not for outer wealth but to realize the Atma. Use the senses for the Divine: eyes to see, ears for wisdom, mouth for chanting. Release fear; the Guru offers liberation. Overcome ego and bow. The Divine seems near yet hidden, but through mercy, the seeker becomes one. Transcend identification with thoughts and body. Call upon God for help. "I am in thy shelter. Please remove my anxieties." "Then I became one with you through the mercy of my Gurudev, and there is nothing else existing."

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
