Practice from Wellington with MM Vivekpuri

18:00 - 18:59|Recorded on 11 May 2013
The body is the foundation for calming the mind. A restless mind creates a restless body, just as boiling water makes a pot shake. Yoga aims to still these thought waves, citta-vṛtti, to reveal the true self within. Directly calming the mind is difficult, so we begin with the body. Through āsanas and movement, we influence the mind toward stillness. Awareness of the breath is a scientific method; focusing on it activates brain centers for relaxation. Each posture is an experiment in awareness, balancing the body and mind. This mindful practice is itself a form of meditation. "Yogaḥ Citta Vṛtti Nirodhaḥ... yoga starts when we calm down this citta-vṛtti, these thought waves." "When we are aware of our breathing process... immediately after a few seconds... you will become more and more relaxed."

On Shiva Purana Katha

19:05 - 19:27 | From: 29 Jan 2024
Life presents two paths: one of the world and one to God. The worldly path, introduced by family and society, leads to suffering. The spiritual path, called Parmārth or Satsaṅg, leads to true bliss and God. Only the Sadguru introduces one to the world's creator, a truth we often overlook. We acknowledge a maker for human artifacts like cloth, yet seldom consider the divine creator behind mountains, rivers, and stars. Meeting such a Guru requires the accumulated merit of many lifetimes. This connection ultimately guides one to God, the source of bliss, away from the world's sorrow. "The only one who brings us to God is the Sadguru Dev." "The world is a form of sorrow. God is a form of true bliss." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Practicing for the animals

19:35 - 20:31 | From: 26 Aug 2018
The soul's journey is determined by karma, the law of action and reaction, as it moves through the five sheaths of being. The physical body dissolves at death, but the soul continues, viewing its accumulated actions. This karma, like a boomerang, returns to its source. The soul is identical in all beings, from an elephant to a bacterium. Our current actions, performed with discernment, shape our future course. Liberation from the cycle is possible through spiritual practice, which can purify karmic inheritances. One's good consciousness can free generations. "Where there is action, there will be a reaction. And where there is a reaction, there will be another action." "The soul is the same. Whether it is in an elephant, a big shark, or a small bacterium, the soul is the same." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Sun Shines in the Kingdom of God: On Habit, Mind, and the Kośas

20:35 - 21:26 | From: 24 Feb 2018
Yoga in daily life is the ever-shining sun, present everywhere. The program begins with purifying the body's impurities. Habit becomes one's second nature. A story illustrates this: a man jumps into a river to retrieve a coat, which is actually a bear. The bear catches him. The man wishes to leave the coat, but the coat does not leave him. This is the condition of dependency. People find time for negative habits but claim to have no time for meditation or good deeds. The mind is a reflection, like a face in a mirror; one cleans the mirror, but the spot is on the face. The mind must be corrected through techniques, good society, and meditation. The five sheaths of the being are the body of nourishment, energy, mind, intellect, and bliss. Liberation comes from mastering the mind, attachment, hope, and thirst. Give charity without expectation of return. This is the science of yoga for body, mind, and soul. "Habit is the second nature of the human." "Man marā na mamatā marī—your desires, what you want to have." Filming location: Alexandria, USA

How prana is functioning

21:30 - 22:24 | From: 4 Jul 2016
The strength of prāṇa and the law of karma govern our life. Depression arises when awareness falls deep, creating feelings of hopelessness or guilt. The law of karma states you cannot run from problems; suicide does not solve them. One must go through difficulties, surrender, and pray for forgiveness. Do not lose self-confidence; like a tree that regrows, strength remains. Open your inner problems like a book; trust that God takes the devotee's destiny. Then dawn rises in your consciousness, the sun will rise again, and a clear path appears. Karma gives lessons; it is not bad, but our actions can be. The physical body is a chariot; the mind controls the horses, but inside sits the Ātmā with Viveka, the wise advisor. Viveka provides the light of knowledge. Prāṇa is the force nourishing physical and mental bodies. Strong prāṇa means fearlessness and truth. Be aware of your karma, which leads to destiny. Every thought, word, and deed creates karma through body, mind, speech, and resources. The fruits of action come in time. Practice sādhanā together; it provides energy and motivation. Great saints keep their vows. Prāṇa leads us; good prāṇa brings good thoughts, while negative prāṇa leads to anger or depression. Trust in God is the immortal fruit; it means trust in thyself. "Committing suicide does not mean the problem is solved. This is something one must know." "Karma is something which gives us a lesson; karma is not bad. What is bad is our own action."

We must be in unity

0:45 - 1:39 | From 20 Dec 2021
Yoga and daily life lead to peace, purity, and realization of the Absolute. Yoga practice is peaceful and extends beyond the physical body to Paramātmā. Food must be very clean and pure. Many medicines contain hidden animal products, which is not good. In India, pure yogic food is traditionally given. Some teachers maintain this purity completely. Modern food nourishes diseases like cancer. Cancer always existed but now increases. Yoga centers and gurus follow sanātana dharma, teaching pure practices, exercises, meditation, and right food. Some now avoid speaking of dietary restrictions. All paths and techniques lead to one reality. India’s ancient knowledge is vast, with Vedas considered very old. The four Vedas and scriptures preserve this wisdom. Before invasions, the Gurukul system offered broad, deep education. The great library at Takṣaśilā burned for six months, destroying much knowledge. The system persisted until removed by the British. When Europe had nomads, India had culture. Efforts recover lost knowledge, as the tradition remains a source of truth. "Yoga practice is that which is very peaceful and harmonious, and not only for the physical body, but further, for all, till Parabrahma, Paramātmā." "We should all be one... They are teaching the same thing, and we are all coming to one point, because that is the reality." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

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
