Mental food

0:25 - 2:23|Recorded on 4 Apr 2007
Yoga is a science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. It is a holistic practice for health and union. Illness first manifests in the subtle psychic body before reflecting in the physical form, making prevention essential. Health is the primary wealth and requires a disciplined life, including conscious eating. Nourishment comes not only from physical food but also from mental peace, harmonious relationships, and positive thinking. Yoga teaches a relationship with oneself, which fosters harmony with the surrounding world. Its exercises improve digestion, circulation, and glandular systems, leading to mental calmness. Yoga is not about extreme postures but a comfortable, practical science of union. Practice is paramount over theory. Specific advice includes weekly fasting, not eating after sunset, daily physical and breath exercises, walking, and an organic vegetarian diet. The human body is a precious vehicle for achieving divine consciousness and peace, distinguishing humans as messengers of God through positive qualities. "Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health." "Yoga means union—union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness."

The Timeless Wisdom of the Vedas and the Dynamics of Life

2:30 - 3:37 | From: 27 Aug 2008
The timeless wisdom of the Vedas addresses the unchanging principles of the universe, unlike modern science which evolves with time. Vedic science speaks of fundamental, timeless elements like Agni and Soma, representing convertible matter and energy. This wisdom applies to life's dynamics, such as the interplay between the male principle of Brahm, which is free, and the female principle of Māyā, the active energy that encircles and gives form to creation for the purpose of union. Human life is precious because it holds the unique potential to rise to the divine. This potential is realized by understanding and navigating desires, which are the operation of Māyā. Life is governed at the emotional heart level, not the intellect. True interpersonal connection and spiritual progress require surrendering the ego and learning to love, which is the essence of bhakti. One must dissolve desires, not suppress them, to cross the barriers Māyā creates and fulfill life's purpose before the body expires. This path involves meditation to be present and to understand the dualities inherent in existence. "Modern science changes with time. But the wisdom in the Vedas is for all times to come." "Human life is important because human beings have the potential to rise to the capacity of Bhagavān Himself or Herself." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

A Retreat in Hungary: Reflections on the Upaniṣads and Spiritual Stories

3:45 - 4:27 | From: 28 Aug 2008
The Upaniṣads are the essence of the Vedas, requiring one to sit at the master's feet and understand with the heart, not the intellect. Self-realization needs both knowledge and devotion, like a bird needs two wings. The ego is strong, making obedience to the Guru's instructions difficult. Spiritual growth often involves searching outside ourselves for what is only found within. Stories illustrate these truths. Education and guidance are vital, as is helping one another. Practice must combine Karma Yoga to cut the ego, followed by the discipline of Rāja Yoga. Trust in the Guru is paramount, and all teachings ultimately point inward. "The Upaniṣads are the essence of the Vedas. 'Upaniṣad' means to sit at the feet of your master and to listen." "A bird can only fly if it has two wings. It is the same with us. We need knowledge to understand why we are doing our sādhanā. We need to understand how we can grow in bhakti." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

USA tour, Alexandria

4:35 - 4:53 | From: 22 Sep 2008
The human mission is to realize our higher purpose beyond mere existence. We planted a peace tree, a symbol for a world needing peace. Recent violence shows a disconnect between our words and actions. Outer peace begins with inner peace, cultivated through yoga and conscious living. Every creature lives, but humans have a unique duty: to protect, serve, and seek higher consciousness. Yet, few possess true human quality. We must constantly remember, "I am a human," which serves as protection. Consider what it means to be human—it carries great responsibility. What makes us human are divine qualities like love, forgiveness, and kindness. Our prime duty is to awaken these, not merely pursue material gain. Greed disrupts harmony, while contentment brings happiness. The mission is to love all creatures and realize God. This creates good karma; negative actions like war bring negative karma and may forfeit the human birth. Life is for service, protection, and liberation. Time waits for no one; our actions always bring reactions. "Mother Earth has enough for everyone’s need, but not for their greed." "Peace cannot be founded anywhere. Peace can only be realized within ourselves." Filming location: Alexandria, USA

Highlights

God is the weaver of chakras

5:25 - 5:59 | From 1 May 2006
The most beautiful thing in the human phenomenon is the journey of consciousness and the capacity for liberation. Every entity is connected to cosmic light, but only humans can realize and transmit this awakened power. The guru is any who impart knowledge, removing the darkness of ignorance. One must remain faithful to this guidance, as disobedience leads to accidents both on the road and in spiritual life. The inner garden of consciousness blossoms through devotion; without love, the spirit withers. Lasting happiness is found not in others' love, which turns, but within the divine inner self. The human body is a divinely woven temple, a perfect creation to be honored, not destroyed by vice or superficiality. True beauty is of the heart, not the eyes. "Lead us from darkness to light. That is the work of the Master." "The body is your real house. It is the temple of your spirit." Filming location: Umag, Croatia DVD 253

Experiences of bhaktas about Vishwaguruji

6:05 - 7:14 | From 5 Jul 2025
The master’s silence examines your inner discrimination. Duty is assigned to dissolve self-absorption. Harmony grows through shared surrender. After separation, returning reveals collective lightness. The ashram holds the master’s tapasyā in every tree and stone. A pigsty becomes a dwelling by the master’s will. Patient answers once guided even trivial questions. Now the master watches to see if you use discrimination to avoid the hole. When you stumble toward darkness, the divine hand always holds and shields. This testing phase forges mutual recognition among the spiritual family. The one sitting before you is no guru—only a hollow instrument. The sole guru remains ever the eternal master. The blessed mālā carries the master’s life energy. Eyes closed, you directly receive answers. Mantra steadies the restless mind. The guru’s essence lives beyond words. Trust that protection never withdraws. “It is happening, believe me, it’s happening.” “He just wants to see if our viveka will lead us to that black hole, or if we are able to go around it.” 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
