Relationships between brothers and sisters

12:00 - 12:57|Recorded on 18 Aug 2016
Rakṣā Bandhan celebrates the sacred bond of brotherhood and sisterhood. This festival reminds us of our fundamental relationships. It is a call to revive the pure, unconditional connections that form society's foundation. The bond between brother and sister exemplifies a love deeper than mere emotion, rooted in protection and promise. True relationships are soul to soul, not based on status or intellect. Brotherhood fosters peace through kindness, respect, and forgiveness, not just words. Cultivating such bonds without condition is the essence of this observance. It is a step toward universal harmony. "Don’t always repeat love, love, love. Respect is love. Protection is love. Kindness is love." "The ancient festivals were not just any festivals; they were there for us to remember in our hearts what bonds, relationships, and what we have promised." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Yagya

13:05 - 14:04 | From: 15 Mar 2019
The sacred union of marriage is a spiritual dharma that creates a single entity for the journey toward heaven. Husband and wife reunite through their astral bodies after death, regardless of who departs first. This union is essential for performing a proper yajña, requiring a sympathetic couple. Dharma, or cosmic justice, is administered by Dharmarāja and Yamarāja, with Śiva as their master. A married couple is like a bird with two wings; divorce breaks these wings and the spiritual path. The promise made during marriage is sacred, given upon a holy book to the divine principle itself, not merely to a priest. Breaking this promise invokes the justice of Dharmarāja and the consequences of Yama. For those who mutually choose a celibate spiritual path while honoring their bond, the way to heaven remains open. The ceremonial fire of yajña, using pure substances like guggul, aligns the couple on the dharmic path. Similarly, the guru-disciple relationship through dīkṣā is a sacred bond not to be abandoned. One must remain faithful to one's spiritual master as to one's mother. "Husband and wife, having already walked their path in this life, will reunite through their astral bodies in another part of the universe." "A bird cannot fly without wings. When you have married once... It means broken wings, broken legs, a broken heart. That is not your path." Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Outer and inner meditation

14:10 - 15:03 | From: 19 Jul 2021
The living guru is found within, through the inner path of authentic meditation. Many learn external techniques, gazing at oceans or horizons, but real meditation is an inward journey. The inner self contains all instruments, like a pilot guides a great aircraft. Both yogic science and modern medicine have value; one should remain neutral, using each appropriately. True spiritual knowledge, like that in the Bhagavad Gītā, is universal and unchanging. Techniques such as Kriya require serious, long-term practice and personal purity. A guru manifests as a living presence in the world, like successive sunrises and their rays. Life progresses through stages of learning, working, and ultimately becoming a guide for all, seeing everyone as family. "Meditation is within. But how? And that is, who is really the best?" "Therefore, never try to give this teaching. But for long years you were practicing, then that teacher can also teach you." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

How a hatha yogi can reach the aim of yoga

15:10 - 15:48 | From: 9 Jul 2018
Yoga is the singular union of the individual soul with the Supreme. It is Ādi Anādi, beginningless and endless. The eternal space contains consciousness, called cetan. Yoga is the harmonizing, balancing, and uniting of these principles into oneness. This union is between Jīvātmā, the individual soul, and Paramātmā, the Supreme Soul. The purpose of all yoga paths is to achieve this. Haṭha Yoga requires strict discipline, Kāyā Sādhana, to balance the body and mind. A true Haṭha Yogī forges their own path like a lion, not following the common road. They require purification, as energy transfers between people like an infection, disrupting meditation and clarity. The yogī must protect their energy and not change their determined course, even against opposing winds. Achieving this balance leads to liberation. "Yoga means the balance. Harmonizing, balancing, and uniting." "A Haṭha yogī doesn't walk only on that. It will make its own practice on sādhanā." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Path of Oṃ, Yoga, and Inner Purification

15:55 - 16:54 | From: 19 Jan 2020
The path of yoga and the sound of Oṃ leads to liberation. Learning Oṃ is easy, but many do not fully intone it. Understanding yoga begins with Aum. Chanting Oṃ from the navel to the crown chakra makes meditation peaceful. Prāṇāyāma serves physical health and yogic consciousness. Modern practice often focuses only on postures, but yoga has no competition; challenge arises from ego. True practice is for all, not only ascetics. Laziness is not yoga. The body contains 72,000 nāḍīs, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā being primary. These channels influence health and mind. The Viśuddhi Cakra purifies poison, like anger, which harms the body. Unresolved anger causes suffering in relationships and health. Small grievances create major pain; clear them immediately. Inner purification through the chakras cleanses negativity. Practice requires discipline, not using meditation as an escape. The face reveals one's inner state; nothing can be hidden. Various yogas lead to supreme consciousness. Meditation means focusing only on the mantra to find inner peace. "According to yogic sādhanā, if we can understand what yoga is, then the first path is definitely Aum." "In yoga, there is no competition and no challenge. We do not give the challenge. If you want to give the challenge, then it means you have lost, because now you are the ego."

Highlights

Do not limit Your love

20:00 - 21:03 | From 1 Aug 2008
Practice is paramount, and the path is love. A gram of practice outweighs a ton of theory. Laziness and distraction lead humanity astray, mistaking material and economic achievements for true fulfillment. The world has lost its spiritual direction, chasing money as the god of this age. True spirituality, or Sanātana Dharma, leads to the Divine without discrimination of religion, culture, or nation, and does not go against nature. Renunciation and discipline are required. The aim is to cultivate positive thoughts for the benefit of all, not for oneself. When a third, divisive element enters between two, harmony is destroyed. The planet survives on love; hate creates an internal battlefield. Life is love, evident in every breath. Limited love, like a cup of water, is exhaustible. Universal love is endless and does not require demonstration. It is felt, not shown. The ultimate remedy for the world is this boundless love. "Mother Nature has enough for everyone’s need, but not for their greed." "Love you cannot hide, love makes light." Filming location: Vép, Hungary DVD 476

Monsoon and sadhana

21:05 - 21:28 | From 1 Jul 2009
The human body and all life are governed by seasonal cycles, just as vegetation is. Climate change is the greatest threat, caused by human greed which pollutes the mind and then the world. This results in water scarcity and extreme weather. The earth burns from the heat of pesticides, which also harm the ozone layer. Rain does not come because our prayers are selfish beggary, not unconditional love. The ancient sages prescribed four monsoon months for dedicated worship of Śiva to bring balance. Śiva is the eternal, indestructible consciousness from which all multiplicity arises. Our prayer must come from a heart of endless love, not like morning dew. "Mother Earth has enough for everyone's need, but not for their greed." "Prayer should come from the heart. Love should come from the heart." Filming location: Rajasthan, India DVD 547

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
