Awakening of muladhar

19:15 - 19:57|Recorded on 5 Sep 2000
Chakras are energy centers where consciousness resides, defining character and problems. Your destiny (prārabdha) is created by past karma before your body forms. You control your present karma through action, speech, thought, and influence, but once acted upon, deeds become destiny governing future life and all current problems. The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root foundation of consciousness based on that karma. It is the earth element, colored red for energy and Mother Consciousness. Its awakening brings safety, wisdom, and pleasurable energy, not physical sensations. The chakra's symbols include a four-petaled lotus representing the four ways life enters the world, an elephant symbolizing wisdom and prosperity, an inverted triangle for energy flow, and a coiled snake representing past, present, and future karmas—the dormant Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Śiva (consciousness) and Śakti (nature) seek union here. Exercises like Bhujaṅgāsana and Śalabhāsana activate this chakra, strengthening the back and influencing the root center for physical and mental balance. "As long as you are not doing anything, it is still under your control." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means wisdom. You become very wise, you become self-confident."

What makes our soul happy

20:05 - 21:04 | From: 4 Aug 2014
The jīva, or soul, seeks everlasting happiness, paramānanda, beyond fleeting pleasures. There are temporary happinesses that vanish and cause suffering. The jīva is eternal, indestructible, and cannot be perceived by physical means. It enters and leaves the body freely, untouched by fire, water, or any obstacle. Every being carries this divine light, driven to attain pleasure and remove all pain. Through the five elements, the jīva manifests the ten senses and is sustained by the life forces. Happiness and sorrow reside in the jīva, not in the body. Seeking joy in material objects yields disappointment because the world is impermanent. Disappointment itself is a process of change and growth. Attachment binds the jīva, like a caged bird prevented from flying. Renunciation requires constant movement to avoid forming attachments. The worldly life is inherently a place of disappointment, even for the Creator. Clinging to relationships brings suffering, for all are transient. Temporary pleasures inevitably turn into pain. Therefore, one must seek paramānanda, the supreme, undying bliss. The jīva is like a drop suspended over the ocean of ātmā; upon merging, individuality dissolves, and it becomes Śiva. All spiritual practices aim for this union, where the jīva finds true peace. "Each and every entity carries the light of God, and that light of God is not for this body only but for that soul, and that soul is life." "This jīva is like a drop of water on the whole of our palm, held over the ocean. This drop is jīva, and the ocean is ātmā." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The flow of life

21:05 - 21:27 | From: 1 Mar 2006
Life is a flowing river of change, not a fixed circumstance. Each religious path defines its own virtues and sins, creating specific karma for its adherents. Historical interpretations of practice, like the use of wine, are often shaped by climate and later commerce, not original intent. Substances like alcohol are universally dangerous, causing immense suffering, yet are promoted in an age where commerce reigns. When faced with another's wrongdoing, remember that karma delivers consequences; one's duty is to spiritual practice or to depart the situation. Public fears are often magnified for commercial gain, overlooking nature's cycles. Anger over an unlived life is a common crisis, but the entire journey has not passed. One can still act, yet the ultimate preparation is for the next life. Existence is a train ride with a changing view; do not become attached to any single scene. Without spiritual focus, life is incomplete. "Life is like water, which is constantly flowing. When water is flowing, it remains clean. When water is stuck, it becomes spoiled." "Without the name of God, this life is incomplete and not good." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 248

The Grandeur of Bhajans and Divine Remembrance

21:30 - 21:52 | From: 19 Apr 2021
The grandeur of bhajans and divine remembrance fills the gathering. The session was intentionally brief, yet it overflowed with spiritual potency. A request was made to Puṣpā, and one bhajan was offered with the possibility of another if it pleased the divine. The sisters sang with exceptional devotion and skill; their voices became vessels for the sacred and their singing pleased greatly. Such bhajans are not ordinary songs; they are pathways to divine remembrance. An introduction to the deeper significance of these bhajans will be given. This teaching will manifest tomorrow or the day after, illuminating the essence of devotional singing for all seekers. Life presents dualities like heat and cold, comfort and discomfort. Both sides of experience are embraced without resistance, and blessings are extended to all with the words ‘all the best’. The bhajans were very nice, and today is alright. The closing chant invoked holy names—Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Devpurījī, Mādhavānandajī—with reverence. Satya Sanātana Dharma was proclaimed as the eternal truth. The core teaching of non-doership arose: Nāhaṃ Kartā, the self is not the doer. Prabhudīp Kartā, Mahāprabhudīp Kartā, the divine alone acts. Only That Kevalam exists. Hari Om. Victory to Viśvarānandajī Gurudeva. "Today’s session was brief; I did not intend to do only a little, but the magnificent bhajans from our sisters were truly great." "Hari Om, Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Devpurījī Mahārāja Devakī, Mādhavānandajī Bhagavānakī, Satya Sanātana Dharmakī, Nāhaṃ Kartā Prabhudīp Kartā Mahāprabhudīp Kartā He Kevalam, Hari Om."

Meditation on the heart with mālā is for peace and harmony for all. Śrī Devpurīṣī Mahādeva Kī Jai. Śrī Bhagavān Alakhpurīṣī Mahādeva Kī Jai. Viśvagurū Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Svāmī Maheśvarānandajī Gurudeva Kī Jai. The correct name is Madhavānandajī Bhagavān, not Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān or Madhav Kṛṣṇa.

"Today is a meditation for all of you with your mālā and meditation on your heart to get peace, harmony, and for all people, for all creatures." "Let us give something from your heart: peace, harmony, understanding, etc." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Practicing from Strilky

6:00 - 7:31 | From 26 Jul 2023
The practice is guided relaxation and synchronized movement. Lie down and make yourself very comfortable. Keep legs together, arms beside your body, palms facing upward. Remove pillows and glasses; lengthen the neck, draw the chin slightly toward the collarbone. Stabilize the lower back, pressing it gently toward the mat. Take a deep, long breath between throat and belly, then exhale completely. Only move when instructed; do not go on your own. With inhalation, slowly raise both arms overhead, keeping them at shoulder width. Hands remain relaxed, not interlocking thumbs or fingers. Head stays still, eyes not looking at neighbors. With exhalation, lower the arms back beside the body. Repeat this movement continuously with normal breath, no holding. Then, place arms beside the body, palms facing down. Inhale deeply, lift both legs up, knees straight, heels pointing upward. Place hands under the hips for support, lower legs slowly without noise. Relax completely, turning onto the stomach if comfortable. Finally, sit for meditation, placing palms up or down as preferred. “Only mantra, bhajan, and sitting—only these three points.” “Do not shorten your breath; make it comfortable, long, and relaxed.” 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
