The Eternal Dharma and the Legacy of Alak Purī

16:40 - 17:54|Recorded on 3 Jun 2019
The eternal Dharma returns to a place of former prayer, adapting to changing times while its essence remains. Human consciousness shifts, but we must reconnect to our ancient spiritual roots from the Satya Yuga. This truth is not a human religion but the universal harmony of all creation. A parable illustrates the need for wisdom over literal interpretation: a merchant's son squanders his inheritance by following his father's testament literally, until a wise pandit reveals the deeper meaning—true wealth is found in discipline, shadow as metaphor for prudent hours, and hidden gold representing inner realization. Our lineage connects to this ancient wisdom through masters like Alak Purī, whose indescribable power is linked to sacred Himalayan sites and rivers. These are not mere stories but living reality, accessible to the sincere seeker. "Sanātana Dharma is not one person's religion. Sanātana is not only from the humans. It is everything: the trees, the animals, the entire balance of our earth—harmony, understanding, and creation." "The father was telling you right... 'Eat good food'... the best food is that when you are very hungry, then whatever you eat is tasteful." Filming location: Koper, Slovenia

Practising fifth level of Yoga in Daily Life System

18:00 - 19:26 | From: 9 Jul 2010
A guided practice of relaxation, gentle movement, and breath awareness. Sit comfortably with a straight back. Relax inwardly, drawing attention into the body. Begin with conscious diaphragmatic breathing. Systematically relax each part of the body from the feet to the head. Perceive the body as one shared space, with breath flowing to every cell. Initiate slow, smooth arm movements coordinated with the breath. Practice gentle stretches, alternating tension and relaxation in the body. Perform rolling movements and spinal twists while maintaining awareness. Move through a sequence of postures with mindful attention to alignment and breath. Do not force the body; practice with gentleness to build trust and avoid contraction. Conclude with breathing exercises and a moment of integration. "Try to feel how you inhale and exhale, as if the breath flows through your entire body, into every part of the body, to every cell." "We practice yoga in such a way that we are considerate and gentle with the body."

Knowledge is the Light

19:30 - 19:52 | From: 30 Jul 2015
Guru Pūrṇimā is about moving from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge. Without knowledge, one is like an animal. This light is the inner knowledge within every being. Humans possess intellect, but it is shaped by its education; one becomes what one is taught. Therefore, proper education is paramount, which is spiritual and ethical education rooted in Sanātana values. This education comes from the guru. The essence of all scriptures is the same truth of one God, though languages differ. Today, people prioritize learning English for jobs over their mother tongue, leading to a loss of cultural roots. Sanskāras create culture, culture creates humanity, and humanity protects the country. Guru Pūrṇimā is the worship of the divine being who gives knowledge and is a festival to keep culture alive. Sanātana Dharma is a living dharma, seen in eternal relationships like that of guru and disciple. This relationship will last forever, making it the greatest and most living festival. "Without knowledge, one is like an animal." "God is one. God has no name, and all scriptures speak of the oneness of God." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Hatha Yoga Kriyas (2/3)

20:00 - 20:27 | From: 14 Nov 2009
Trāṭak is the sixth Haṭha Yoga purification, a practice of gazing on one point to concentrate and purify the sight. It uses a candle flame, a black spot, or the rising or setting sun, never direct sunlight. The flame is placed at arm's length, which strengthens eyesight and helps those who are short- or far-sighted. It trains the mind to focus on one point, calming scattered thoughts and vrittis, leading toward one-pointedness and meditation. Practice requires a peaceful place without drafts or disturbances, wearing loose, natural clothing to contain energy. The ideal flame height is at the heart center, as gazing on the outer light opens the heart chakra and leads to perception of the inner light. Pure ghee lamps are best, but a non-smoking plant-based candle is acceptable. Begin by gazing at the middle of the flame for 30 seconds, then close the eyes to observe the afterimage, repeating this cycle three times. Keep the body and eyes still, relaxing the eyebrow center. Do not practice if overly tired, or if experiencing schizophrenia or depression. "Trāṭak is not relaxation; it is not meditation. It is concentration." "Take this light, this flame, inside. This light is the symbol of the highest Self." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Taming of the Hungry Wolf

20:35 - 21:35 | From: 22 Jul 2026
Life is tiring. An idle brain gets bored. Boredom feeds the dark wolf inside. The dark wolf is hungrier. It seeks an adrenaline rush through greed. The five inner enemies are kāma, krodha, mada, lobha, ahaṅkāra. Reduce them using viveka. Choose buddhi over buddhū. The fight between heart and brain often lacks viveka. A pure heart emits purity. Impurity reflects back. Words pass through the subconscious. Talk with awareness, listen with patience. Without awareness, we are agyānī jīva. Trust in the guru’s boat. The guru bears the torch, showing the path. Four kṛpās exist: Deva, Śāstra, Guru, and Khud kī kṛpā. The mind is a drunk monkey bitten by a scorpion. Viveka aligns us with dharma. The past is gone, the future unknown. Be the best version of yourself. Awareness tames the monkey. Saṃskāras are given by parents and guru. We need treats like grace. Inner enemies increase desire, decreasing spirituality. Tame them like a horse. An ego trip fuels the fire. Spirituality has no comparison. Purity in devotion matters more than quantity. Evaluate thoughts: useless ones go. Fix yourself first. Clear vision removes mental trash. Use Viveka Cloud. Words reflect inner stink. Gurudev takes us across māyā. Ask who am I. The Ātmā changes bodies. Having a guru proves this is the last life. Mahāpuruṣas incarnate for us. Pray for Śakti, Bhakti, Vairāgya. Detachment means not being possessed by possessions. Walk the guru’s path. Satsaṅg is positive talk. Viveka determines your job’s nature. Change comes from yourself. Guru Tattva remains always. A sādhu’s life is a living flame. "One bad word which comes out of the mouth destroys ten rounds of mālā." "The possessions which you possess should not possess you one day." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Gold and God

4:50 - 5:17 | From 29 Jun 2021
Yoga is for health, harmony, understanding, peace, long life, and friendship. All yoga schools are good, regardless of association with religion. Humans have come a far distance from living in forests. We are now separated but do good for ourselves and others. Long ago, there was no money and people lived happily by giving to each other. Money and gold later arrived, creating desire and a system of transaction. Now we seek gold and material possessions, but these things remain after we are gone. It does not matter which religion or place one is from; being human is what matters. God gave yoga to make the body healthy and happy so one may live a long, peaceful life. "Yoga is for good health, harmony, understanding, peace, long life, and friendship." "God gave us yoga so that we could have a healthy body, a happy body, so that we could live in it for a long time." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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
