A promotional video about the Omkara Mahavira, a large-scale world peace monument and humanitarian complex under construction in Rajasthan. "Since 1993, this structure has been under construction for the welfare of humanity, the protection of animals and nature, for teaching yoga, meditation, and philosophy." "To bring this vision to full fruition, it needs everybody’s contribution. You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a single drop." The video details the vision of yogi Paramahamsa Swami Maheshvarananda to build the world's largest Om symbol, which will contain 108 residential compartments. It highlights the existing, operational facets of the site including a free school and college, a hospital, and a large artificial lake for water conservation.

A keynote address on non-violence, patience, and peace at a World Peace Council conference. "Wrong means will always fetch wrong ends.

He argues for the primacy of ethical means over ends, asserting that violence breeds violence while non-violence breeds compassion and inner peace. He uses personal anecdotes, historical references, and a humorous story about marital patience to illustrate the stamina required for this path. Filming location: Prague, Czech Republic

"In the same way, when the human soul enters into the human body, God gives us freedom, but then we become bound to karma. And that karma is what we call action."

He describes the ashram's founding and extols Jaipur as a sacred city of wisdom and festivals, specifically mentioning the upcoming Śrāvaṇī festival.
