Practicing from Strilky

18:00 - 19:31|Recorded on 26 Jul 2023
A guided practice for relaxation and movement through precise physical alignment and breath. Lie down comfortably. Stabilize the lower back on the mat. Place arms beside the body with palms facing upward. Make the neck long. Keep legs together. Breathe with long, full yoga breaths. Movement must be synchronized and without personal initiative. Only move arms when instructed. Do not arch the lower back. Practice involves raising and lowering arms and legs with the breath. The core practice consists of mantra, bhajan, and sitting. Close the eyes and follow the count together. Do not use your own mind. "Be guru-mukhī and not man-mukhī." "Only mantra, bhajan, and sitting—only these three points we have to practice very nicely."

Balancing Heart and Intellect

19:35 - 20:36 | From: 3 Jun 2012
The human being is a balance of heart and intellect. Emotion and intelligence are both essential. Ego is necessary for survival, but it must be refined into self-respect, which means respecting others through our actions and cleanliness. Uncontrolled emotions like anger are destructive. The Upaniṣads teach that within the physical heart is a cave holding the blue light of the soul, the seat of the jīvātmā. The brain connects the chakras, but when this soul departs, bodily functions cease. Fire, Agni, is a divine element present in many forms: as digestive fire creating hunger, as the fire of desire and anger, and as the sacred fire of love and longing for God. Modern life severs our connection to ancestors and the natural elements, leading to suffering and a loss of roots. Our intellect can be polluted by selfish senses, but viveka, the discerning intelligence between truth and falsehood, remains pure. Practice develops viveka and vairāgya, renunciation. The five elements support the body, and through spiritual practice like Kuṇḍalinī Yoga, prāṇa nourishes the soul. True love is surrender and coordination between heart and intellect, creating better humans and a better world. "Brahmārpaṇaṃ brahmahavir brahmāgnau brahmaṇā hutam." "Brahma Satya, Jagat Mithyā."

The Seed Has To Die To Become A Tree

20:40 - 21:13 | From: 28 Jun 2014
Knowledge is an endless well, not a finite resource to be exhausted. Great saints of the past have spoken, but they only consumed the butter, not the cow itself. The cow—Sarasvatī, the source of knowledge—remains with us. Feed it with love and devotion, and you can milk it day and night; the well of wisdom is infinite. We have just begun to explore the Manipūra Chakra, the jeweled city within, which is the foundation of life and holds immense spiritual energy. True wealth is not external money but the internal treasure of contentment; desire is what makes one poor. We originate from the endless, void-like Ākāśa and are waves of the primordial sound, Nāda. Like individual raindrops, we separate but ultimately return to the ocean. The navel is the center of this universal process. The vital energies, prāṇa and apāna, flow through channels like the Vajranāḍī, and their balance is essential for life. Our physical form began from the navel, a truth symbolized by the lotus emerging from Viṣṇu's navel. This spiritual knowledge is a feast to be consumed slowly, bite by bite. "They ate the butter, not the cow. Feed the cow with love. Milk it day and night." "Those who have the money are the poor. Those who have no money are the rich." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The play of manomaya kosha

21:20 - 22:09 | From: 1 Jan 2008
Kuṇḍalinī is the one cosmic energy balancing the universe and manifesting within every body. Prāṇa is this life force, governing bodily functions and uniting the five elements. The body contains 72,000 nāḍīs, channels for Prāṇa's flow, and corresponding chakras governed by Kuṇḍalinī. These chakras range from the Earth Chakra at the feet to the Human Chakras along the spine, connected to the elements. The Ājñā Chakra at the skull's base is the seat of consciousness and wisdom, the border to divine chakras. It is clouded by vṛttis, or mental modifications, which must be purified alongside physical and pranic impurities. Prāṇa is cultivated through consumption, speech, and thought; negative thoughts and harsh words generate harmful energy. The company one keeps shapes one's habits and path: satsaṅg leads to upliftment, while kuṣaṅg leads to downfall. The mind processes impressions from the five senses, storing them in the subconscious and generating desires. Control the senses, not the mi

Influence Of The Full Moon

22:15 - 23:12 | From: 25 Apr 2013
The moon's influence connects nature, human consciousness, and spiritual practice. The full moon profoundly affects our emotions and the natural world. In scripture, moonlight is a nectar entering vegetation, linked to the idea of a honeymoon, where honey symbolizes health and immortality. We must protect bees, crucial for this nectar, as their decline is an ecological disaster. A practitioner should be like a bee, extracting only the good from the world without causing harm. The bee's hum is its mantra. To balance the moon's strong energy, one may fast on a full moon day. The moon symbolizes emotion; like ocean waves, high emotions obscure clarity, so important decisions should wait for calm. Our journey involves consciousness moving through energy centers, from the root, which holds past karma, to higher states. We must purify subconscious desires in this life to avoid future suffering. True practice involves healthy living, compassion, and meditation to perceive the divine beauty in all existence, living purely like a lotus in a polluted world. "Arjuna, I enter into the vegetation as a nectar through the moonlight." "If you would like to have all as your friends, then give up harsh words." Filming location: New York, USA

Your faith is Your liberator

2:20 - 3:18 | From 1 Oct 2007
The mission of human life is self-realization. Today commemorates the victory of truth over falsehood. To navigate life successfully, ask five questions daily. First, remember "I am a human," which awakens inner discernment to avoid negative actions. Human qualities like knowledge, kindness, and forgiveness distinguish us; these hidden treasures must be protected. Neglecting these qualities for negative thoughts spoils them, like lemon in milk. Dry intellect without devotion is lost. The prime mission is not worldly achievements but Ātmā-jñāna, realizing the universal Self within all. This human birth offers unique tools for this purpose. Life is a transient theater; we must use our time to realize the immortal Ātmā. Liberation requires sincere practice and unshakable faith in the guiding grace. "God does not want these tricks. God Kṛṣṇa, Gopāla, is happy when you are doing really with an honest heart, with love." "In this Kali Yuga, we have only one hope: the name of God, mantra, your mantra. Repeat and repeat and repeat. O human, you will cross the ocean." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 386

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
