The Essence of Yoga in the Indian Tradition

17:00 - 17:34|Recorded on 31 Jul 2022
Yoga is the union of the individual self with the supreme consciousness. This union is the ultimate goal of all spiritual practice. The path requires purification of mind and body. True yoga transcends mere physical postures. It is an inner discipline of meditation and devotion. The ancient sages prescribed methods to still the mind. This stillness reveals the true Self, which is eternal peace and bliss. The practice dissolves the illusion of separation. One then abides in one's own divine nature. "Yoga is not just physical exercise; it is the science of uniting the soul with God." "The real asana is the steady, comfortable seat of the mind established in the Self."

Karma and liberation

17:40 - 18:16 | From: 19 Aug 2018
The grandparents of the forest teach us about karma and the world's balance. Vegetation is essential for life, and ancient trees are loving grandparents. Good karma from non-violence leads to Svarga Loka, a temporary heaven. Bad karma from harming creatures leads to Naraka Loka. Liberation comes only through the guru's grace. Human actions are destroying the earth's equilibrium. Digging for resources creates hollow spaces and allows water in, making the planet unstable. This invites cataclysm where all will be lost. Spiritual people may depart beforehand. One must cease harming all creatures, including animals, and live with prayer and non-violence to alter this course. "Good karma that you didn’t eat meat, you didn’t kill any animals, you didn’t kill any humans. Then you come to the heaven." "Eating meat, you have to pay back. That’s it."

The mind is a cheater

18:20 - 19:11 | From: 2 Aug 2017
The inner battle is governed by the polluted antaḥkaraṇa, making bhakti yoga the essential path in Kali Yuga. The antaḥkaraṇa consists of four principles: manas, buddhi, citta, and ahaṁkāra. These are polluted by malā, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. The mind is particularly greedy, tempted, restless, and a thief; it is a reflection one cannot correct by cleaning the mirror. This restless mind governs the other principles and leads one astray. Impurities from countless lives persist as tenacious saṃskāras. Knowledge and dispassion can split these deep impressions. In this age, the destructive energy is strong. The only boat for crossing the ocean of existence is the repetition of the name and mantra through bhakti yoga. "Mana lobhī, mana lalacī, mana cañcal, mana cor." "Kali yuga kevala nāmādhāra, sumira sumira nara hoi bhava pāra." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

Everything is in your hands

19:15 - 19:50 | From: 5 Feb 2001
The initiation of eight sannyāsīs was a highlight. The Master decides readiness; these were not easy individuals, each a long effort to guide. One is profoundly honest, immediately embodying the role. Another prepared for decades through hardship. Three were from Australia, one from Israel, and one Indian who left too quickly. The final one is a devoted and humble soul. Your spiritual progress is ultimately in your own hands. Teachers and masters can only support you; the decisive action is yours. A story illustrates this: disciples, jealous of their Master, trap a bird and ask if it is alive or dead. The Master replies its fate is in their hands. Your liberation, like the bird's life, depends on your decisions. Do not delay in good actions. Regarding dress, disciples should wear white; sannyāsīs wear orange. Becoming a sannyāsī is serious, not a fashion; it helps carry the spiritual light but requires true readiness and independence. "Master, if you know everything, then tell us what is in my hand." "My son, whether this bird is alive or dead depends on your hands." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 180b

You Need Strength

19:55 - 20:44 | From: 1 Oct 2008
Yoga is the universal path for human health, harmony, and happiness, serving all creatures. It is the most ancient divine work, described in the Vedas, designed to remove negative energy and elevate consciousness. All divine incarnations and saints realized divinity through yogic techniques like meditation, prayer, and universal love. To believe in and know God are yogic principles. Religions later developed from the teachings of saints, but yoga existed before any were named. All religions aim for the one God and contain yogic techniques. The practice leads to self-realization by freeing one from negative karma. Actions are your choice, but their results are your unchangeable destiny. Desire causes trouble and illness. The path requires tolerance, respect, understanding, trust, and harmony. Support the young generation and live with love, helping others and practicing conscious renunciation. Work to harmonize with all, respecting every place of worship and removing ego. Practice leads to happiness and the merging of individual consciousness into the cosmic. "Karma is in your hands; you can do what you want. It is your decision. But the result, the fruit of your action, is not in your hands." "Tolerance for T, respect for R, U for understanding, T again for trust in God, and H for harmony. That is the truth." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 491

The True Pilgrimage

22:45 - 0:00 | From 8 Jun 2025
The true pilgrimage is to the Guru's feet. The aim of all pilgrimage is where the Guru lives. At those feet, disciples cross the river of wisdom. Reaching that presence brings immense bliss. The Guru comes to liberate, not merely to provide comfort. Longing for this is essential. Reading the Guru's books reveals our inner qualities and how to change. Purifying oneself brings one nearer to one's true, blissful nature. As consciousness clarifies, understanding deepens. The direct way is true love and devotion. Through mercy and practice, one reaches the aim. All pilgrimages are at the Guru's Lotus Feet. "Knowledge is found at the Gurudeva’s doorstep." "Forget worldly pleasures. Only then can you meet God."

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
