Prana and spirituality

0:45 - 1:54|Recorded on 1 Aug 2005
The human form is a rare opportunity among countless creatures, created from the five elements and endowed with special abilities. Prāṇa is the vital energy that binds the five bodies—physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and causal—into a single being. This causal body is born from desire, perpetuating the wheel of action and reaction. Prāṇa and Apāna are opposing forces; Prāṇa draws energy in, while Apāna expels waste. Their meeting point is the navel at the Maṇipūra Cakra. Impure Apāna, caused by consuming foods like meat, garlic, and beans, creates imbalance and disease, blocking spiritual ascent. Purity of body and thought is essential. Quality attracts quality; an impure mind is repelled by spiritual company. The essence of life is to realize its temporary nature and focus on the divine name. "Prāṇa is that energy which keeps together all the five bodies." "The joy is in the name of God. All your other works and business, everything is unreal." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 221

The Law of Karma and the Sanctity of All Life

2:00 - 3:17 | From: 17 May 2015
The law of karma demands reverence for all life. Killing an animal creates severe karmic debt, as it inflicts suffering on an innocent being and interrupts the life given by God. For every creature you consume, you must be reborn as that creature and suffer the same death. This cycle is a long and certain justice. Spiritual practice is nullified by eating meat. The only path to purify such karma is through satsaṅg and the guidance of a true master. A master is one who loves all entities as oneself and would give his own life rather than take another's. Practice diligently and never miss satsaṅg, for it is the means to cleanse past actions and awaken consciousness. The Svādhiṣṭhāna Chakra, associated with water and the color of dawn, represents flowing energy and the hope for awakening. Its six petals symbolize the obstacles of anger, hate, greed, jealousy, cruelty, and laziness which must be purified. "How many fish you ate, that many times you have to be born as a fish and caught by a hook." "If you miss the satsaṅg, you have missed a big chance." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada

Aim of the life

3:25 - 4:37 | From: 27 May 2015
The aim of life is to achieve self-knowledge, yet humans suffer from their own ignorance. Intellect can create immense problems from mistaken perceptions. A guest was told a house contained a ghost; fear paralyzed him in the night. Many attempted exorcisms failed. A wise person entered with a light, revealing only hanging laundry. The ghost was born from a whispered suggestion and vanished with knowledge. Another story tells of a boy captured by a demon. The boy learned from the demon that God decreed no one could harm him for 105 years. Using this knowledge as a weapon, the boy threatened the demon with fire and escaped. We are that innocent boy, trapped by carelessness. The dangers we face are like that demon. When willpower arises, fear dissolves and we are free. The soul is immortal; only the body dies. We carry our karma like a backpack; it shapes our destiny. Destiny is written, yet performing good karma now can change the future. We cannot escape our karma; we must face it. Therefore, wake up and change your destiny through good actions and following the Guru's word. Liberate your ancestors and connected souls. Disciples must remain united in strength, like five fingers forming a fist. Words hold great power; use them wisely. "From where did the ghost come? The ghost came from blackmailing."

Remembering Holy Guruji's Mahasamadhi

4:45 - 5:52 | From: 30 Oct 2014
Every breath is a priceless diamond; do not squander it. Time is very precious; time is money. Satsang is priceless, received without cost, but one is not worthy to enter it. The bliss of Brahman does not come again and again, so liberation is not possible. The cow serves alive and even after death; the human body is useless after death. Human beings have forgotten how to value time. Humanness is far away. One forgets the Giver, squandering on actions. The heart is stained with sin. One lies, gossips, sings impure songs, defaming the mind. The tongue is not worthy of singing the Lord’s songs. Not serving mother and father makes one unworthy of coming into this world. At every turn, let compassion, modesty, and a smile remain. One must attain life’s secret, renounce restlessness, control mind and senses, know oneself, and remain blissful. The mother of dharma is compassion; the father is contentment. One who serves parents is a true child. One who knows oneself is a human being. “Every breath is a priceless diamond, it is not worthy of being squandered.” “In life, one must attain the secret of life; one must renounce restlessness and unrighteousness.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

9:55 - 10:57 | From 20 Jul 2026
The sacred ritual of Abhiṣeka and the path of Yoga. The ritual begins with invocations to Gaṇapati, various deities, and blessings for long life and removal of obstacles. A saṅkalpa is declared for performing Rudra Abhiṣeka with water offerings for all devotees. The ceremony involves worship of Sphaṭika Maheśvara and the Śiva Parivāra. A series of ritual baths are offered, including water, milk, curd, honey, sugar, and pañcāmṛta. Further offerings include sandalwood paste, sacred ash, flowers, and incense. The ritual continues with Vedic chants, hymns to Śiva, and the Gāyatrī mantra. An āratī ceremony is performed with offerings of light. The worship concludes with a puṣpāñjali and declarations of victory to various deities. The entire performance is a liturgical act of devotion, not a lecture.

Brahma Satya - Jagat Mitya

7:30 - 7:57 | From 1 Aug 2005
The physical presence of the Master is a profound support now felt in its absence. When the Guru was physically present, travel to the ashram for every observance was not a necessity. Now, the responsibility to be present for devotees on Guru Pūrṇimā requires that journey, for they seek a living teacher to receive blessings. We live in the physical world with a body subject to its nature and attachments. Through discrimination and endurance, one practices self-inquiry, yet cannot escape the body's reality. The longing for liberation is essential, yet suffering persists in all life circumstances. Everything in the world is transient, coming and going. Human life is a rare opportunity to step out of this cycle, but human nature fails to value what it has until it is gone. The physical departure of the Master creates a deep sense of being alone, yet this is the immutable law of nature. All who come must go, and the manner of departure is determined by one's karma and the purity of consciousness. One must cultivate innocence. Even holy beings pass away, and their absence is deeply felt only after they are gone. To be together is a precious blessing, for we do not know what the future holds. "Āyā so jāyegā rājā raṅk fakīr—who came will go." "I have everything, but I do not have Gurujī with me physically anymore." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic DVD 214

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."
