Yoga will remove suffering

4:50 - 5:56|Recorded on 17 Aug 2017
Yoga is the original, simple science of union, not the myriad of modern imitations. It calms the mind and emotions, which positively affects the entire body. Wrong practice or half-knowledge causes suffering. Choose simple, accessible postures suitable for all ages, avoiding extremes. True yoga encompasses life's entire journey, beginning with the conscious conception of a child. Parents must purify their bodies, minds, and thoughts through harmonious living and specific diets to welcome a noble soul. This care continues after birth with loving protection, proper nourishment, and ceremonies like massaging the infant's chakras. The human birth is a crucial milestone for the soul to escape the cycle of rebirth by cultivating humility and kindness. The first spiritual practice is discerning the eternal truth from the impermanent world. Attachment is the primary obstacle, a persistent glue one must strive to rise above. "Yoga is yoga." "Brahma satya and jagat mithyā. The final truth is the Brahman. This world is not permanent." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Morning Yoga Practice: Āsanas and Prāṇāyāma

6:00 - 7:26 | From: 28 Sep 2010
Morning yoga practice integrates āsanas and prāṇāyāma to awaken the body. Begin with deep inhalation and exhalation, raising the upper body from the floor to stretch the neck and activate abdominal muscles. Shoulder stretches release tension in the shoulder girdle, preparing for later activity. In catuṣ pādāsana, legs stretch while the body warms, using full lung capacity. Kaṭi Cakrāsana follows with wide-legged lateral bending, keeping spine, shoulders, and hands aligned with the breath. Standing relaxation lets circulation flow through legs, arms, and head. Gūṇamānāsana is practiced seated, twisting side to side with both sitting bones grounded. Each twist squeezes the spine, releasing stale blood so fresh blood can enter upon relaxation. Aśvasan Chalana Āsana targets abdominal muscles through controlled leg movements; a lighter variation is for those with menstruation. After lying in Ānandāsana, observe any remaining tension and release it. Breath awareness deepens by following inhalation from navel to throat and exhalation from throat to navel. Leg stretches precede the meditation posture, ensuring comfort with pillows or blankets. Hands rest in chin mudrā, eyes close, and the body becomes still. Three Oms are chanted, directing circulation to the head, then the practice gently concludes. “So, when we do stretching, it’s like we take a sponge and squeeze it, and all the water comes out. Then, when you relax it, new water can come in.” “With inhalation, we just follow the flow of our breath from the navel to the throat, and with exhalation, from the throat to the navel.” Filming location: Umag, Croatia

Gurudev is a goldsmith

7:30 - 8:09 | From: 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

Aim of the Master

8:15 - 8:55 | From: 1 Aug 2014
The living transmission of knowledge requires a master, a disciple, and the spoken wisdom. A technique dies if not passed on. The master aims to make the disciple a master, surpassing the philosopher's stone which only transforms. Good qualities must be transmitted to be perfected. This process is defined by Śruti, Śrotriya, and Śrota. Śruti is the authentic scripture. The Śrotriya is the master who understands and explains it. The Śrota is the listening disciple. Without this chain, knowledge is lost. Reading a book differs from learning from a realized teacher. The transmission must be accurate to become Smṛti, or remembered tradition. This system upgrades spiritual understanding. What you receive, you must give. This protects and elevates all. "Śruti is that which is taught by the Master." "A Satguru is one who is Brahmaniṣṭha—a knower, a realizer of Brahman. He is the Śrotriya who can speak about Brahman." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Ocean and the Drop

9:00 - 9:32 | 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

A Gathering of Hearts: Reflections on Grace, Healing, and the Guru's Presence

16:25 - 17:25 | From 30 Jan 2026
Satsaṅga on Divine Presence, Guru Tattva, and Surrender. Satsaṅga means the company of truth. When hearts of the same frequency gather, the atmosphere becomes divine. Real joy is not in external objects; it is within. The guru tattva is the one essence shared by all true masters. They are trikāla darśī, seers of past, present, and future. The mind seeks logic, but the guru’s guidance transcends it. Svadharma is your own duty; offer all actions without expectation. Surrender means giving your happiness, sadness, and problems to the guru. This is not blind faith; do your karma and let the results come. The greatest gift is the mālā, charged with the guru’s tapasyā. Each bead reconnects you to the divine. Have faith: you are not the doer. The guru is unconditional love, a paramahaṁsa. Oneness means all in one and one in all—everything manifests from the same source. Be loyal to your path while seeing unity everywhere. In surrender, peace arises. The bond with the guru is eternal, beyond all temporary relations. "Paramahaṁsa is love itself." "We are sitting in his heart, and he is sitting in our hearts."

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
