Keep your promises

6:15 - 6:54|Recorded on 4 Jul 2020
Saturday's powerful constellation brings both benefit and challenge, reflecting Śani's influence. A story tells of a guru carrying a watermelon that briefly appeared as a severed head due to this energy, illustrating its transformative power. To navigate such influences, one makes a lifelong vow, a saṅkalpa, like giving up a specific food. This principle of promise extends to sacred commitments like marriage, which are not to be abandoned. On Guru Pūrṇimā, all actions and karmas from the past year are offered to the guru. The relationship with one's guru is singular and foundational, like that with one's biological parents. The core practice is to surrender everything to this guiding source. "A promise is not just saying yes or no to something. It is a promise. When we make a promise, we have to follow it." "On Guru Pūrṇimā... I give all my karmas, my practice, Gurudev, to you. And what mistakes I made, I also give to you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Self is happiness

7:15 - 7:53 | From: 7 Jul 2001
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect. "If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere." "The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 155b

Lord Krishna's Incarnation Day part three

8:00 - 9:23 | From: 22 Aug 2011
A ritual invocation and devotional celebration are described. The essence must be pressed and dried with focused reverence. Offerings of grains, water, and fragrant substances are made with folded hands. Specific gestures and placements are crucial, such as the position of the fingers when giving gold. The preparation of materials like sandalwood paste and the breaking of bilva leaves are acts of devotion. A school celebration for Janmāṣṭamī includes speeches and performances honoring Śrī Kṛṣṇa's birth and teachings. The event features dances, recitations, and a presentation about a devotional pilgrimage. The core message is to spread devotion, as Kṛṣṇa incarnates to protect righteousness and destroy wickedness. "Oṃ Namaḥ, press the essence; it should come out." "Whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in unrighteousness, I manifest in every age and place."

Invocation of the Divine Lineage

9:30 - 10:21 | From: 15 Aug 2022
The text is an invocation to a divine lineage and a critique of its textual inconsistencies. It begins with repeated praises to deities and gurus, establishing a spiritual lineage. The chant uses honorifics and names in a devotional, repetitive structure. A separate analysis then points out logical flaws in the transcribed text. It notes variations in the spelling of sacred names. It highlights inconsistent use of synonymous honorifics like "Jaya" and "Jai." The analysis observes a lack of uniform punctuation and phrasing. It states the repetitive order of names varies slightly across iterations. The core devotional purpose remains, but the transcription shows formal inconsistencies. "Oṁ Bole Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān Kī Jaya." "Viśvaguru Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Śrī Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī Gurudeva Kī Jaya."

The infinite love and blessing of Vishwaguruji

From 1 Dec 2024
The Guru is the only one near God and understands all. You are all brothers and sisters. God has done everything well, providing this space. The Guru is the highest and will do everything. God resides within you; your true nature is happiness. The beautiful pillars signify God resetting the foundations. You are everything. I have given you all knowledge. I do nothing; you do everything. The knowledge spoken here is the same as in the Bhagavad Gītā, leading to the Supreme God. "I am not the Guru; Swāmījī is the Guru." "I have given you everything. May you get everything that you want." Filming location: Slovenska Vas, Slovenia

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
