Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (9/9)

6:00 - 7:14|Recorded on 3 Oct 2010
A morning sādhana sequence integrates breath, movement, and awareness. Begin by warming the body with gentle stretches and deep breathing. Practice foundational āsanas like Pavanamuktāsana and Marjaryāsana to activate the spine and muscles. Flow through a warming sequence, coordinating each motion with inhalation and exhalation. Perform forward bends and backbends, focusing on alignment and the stretch without pain. Incorporate inverted postures to affect circulation and glands. Conclude with prāṇāyāma to regulate energy and a period of silent observation. The practice strengthens the body, deepens the breath, and calms the mind. "Marjaryāsana is a wonderful morning āsana, stretching your back muscles and activating your spine." "Observe your breath, and feel the effects of the āsanas." Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Lord Krishna's Incarnation Day part four

7:20 - 9:34 | From: 22 Aug 2011
The celebration of Śrī Kṛṣṇa's divine birth is observed through devotion, discourse, and performance. When ignorance spreads, songs of his childhood pastimes are sung. His birth and actions are entirely divine, a complete incarnation to protect dharma and devotees. He is the teacher of the Gītā, encompassing all paths of knowledge, devotion, and yoga. His life is a symbol of completeness, from his playful youth to his role as a universal protector. The event includes devotional singing, dramatic performances of his pastimes, and the distribution of sanctified food. The chanting of the holy name is emphasized as the supreme means for spiritual attainment in this age. "Whenever there is a decline in dharma and a rise in adharma, at that time I manifest myself." "The Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahāmantra is the name of Bhagavān, so powerful that when this name is chanted, even the greatest obstacles are overcome."

Flute music on Lord Krishna's Incarnation Day

9:40 - 10:42 | From: 22 Aug 2011
A time for peace is found through mantra and music. The title originates from an experience of subtle inner stillness, where mental arguments ceased, leaving only peace. A spontaneous wish for universal happiness arose in that silence. The recording project aims to share this peace, allowing others to practice with mantras and experience the effect. The process itself revealed the mantra's power through focused attention during recording. The shared practice is a step toward bringing people closer together. The occasion is marked by devotional music aligned with the spiritual mood. "After about ten minutes, I realized that my inner thinking, the internal arguments, were not there anymore." "The purpose of this CD: to help us practice with it... and experience that peace."

Lord Krishna's Incarnation Day part one

10:50 - 12:05 | From: 22 Aug 2011
The thread of spiritual practice is given and must be continuously passed forward. Water purifies the body and mind. One must drink water with the right hand, take breaths, and give everything away, transferring it forward. The body is a vessel for the soul, which provides guidance and protection in all directions. Ritual actions like offering flowers, water, and chants must be performed with devotion. Performing pūjā resolves obstacles. The lineage and gotra connect the practitioner to the tradition. All actions are for attaining peace, removing difficulties, and fulfilling desires through divine grace. "Transfer it forward, keep learning ahead." "First, break the protective lock; look towards the east direction." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

How to keep our purity

16:35 - 16:59 | From 28 Sep 2023
The human being contains a fundamental purity. We are diverse and cannot all become one, yet we are ourselves. Many people eat meat and are going down, but here we are pure. Open your eyes in the morning and see only "I am human." The earth is pure, and pure water comes from above. Within the vast ocean of existence, something very pure comes from within us, like a crystal. In sleep, we travel far from ourselves, yet return quickly. This inner experience is the purity we call a yogī. Our eyes are very powerful; we must be clear and controlled with them. Those who eat purely are very good. You do not need to know my name; it is inside. We have done work to maintain purity so others may not spoil it. "Open your eyes in the morning, so when we are just open. And so, when we open our eyes, then we see only, 'I am human.'" "And so, whatever it is with us, it is your beautiful best, all that is the purity. So that is what we call a yogī."

Keep your promises

17:30 - 18:09 | From 4 Jul 2020
Saturday's powerful constellation brings both benefit and challenge, reflecting Śani's influence. A story tells of a guru carrying a watermelon that briefly appeared as a severed head due to this energy, illustrating its transformative power. To navigate such influences, one makes a lifelong vow, a saṅkalpa, like giving up a specific food. This principle of promise extends to sacred commitments like marriage, which are not to be abandoned. On Guru Pūrṇimā, all actions and karmas from the past year are offered to the guru. The relationship with one's guru is singular and foundational, like that with one's biological parents. The core practice is to surrender everything to this guiding source. "A promise is not just saying yes or no to something. It is a promise. When we make a promise, we have to follow it." "On Guru Pūrṇimā... I give all my karmas, my practice, Gurudev, to you. And what mistakes I made, I also give to you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The infinite love and blessing of Vishwaguruji

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
