The Four Aspects of Grace and the Path to Self-Love

23:25 - 23:58 | From: 11 Aug 2025
The four aspects of grace culminate in self-love, which is essential for spiritual growth. Grace has four aspects: divine grace for human incarnation, scriptural grace from sacred texts, guru's grace from the teacher, and self-grace, which is giving mercy to oneself. Guru's grace is a response to the disciple's devotion and service. Applying this to oneself means loving yourself and giving that grace to yourself. Self-love is not ego, which takes, but a high vibration that gives. A key teaching is to love others at least as much as you love yourself, yet many struggle with self-love. A practical example is sending loving energy to your own body, which can have healing effects. The path to self-love involves three steps: first, accept yourself as you are. Second, seek to understand how you became who you are through self-inquiry. Third, from understanding comes the desire to give, including forgiving yourself. This process of accept, understand, and give is the essence of the teaching. "Love each and every living being, if not more, then at least as much as yourself." "We cannot really love others if we don't love ourselves." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Master should have equal vision

0:05 - 0:30 | From: 9 Jan 2016
A master's teaching adapts to the student's background but arises from a place of non-discrimination. Teaching varies based on a student's inherent culture, like learning to cook at home versus from scratch. Language also shapes the delivery, as perfect translation of meaning is difficult. However, the true master holds no distinction in heart, like a sun shining on all. The story of Eklavya illustrates this: though formally rejected, his devotion to his guru as a statue made him a great archer. The master teaches from within, beyond speech, through divine love. Disciples who perceive favoritism are mistaken. The master knows each student's needs and administers many tests. True service is to see oneself not as a successor, but as eternally serving the guru. "Love does not require any words. Love does not need any explanation." "The master is like a sun, and the disciples are like all of us who benefit from the sunlight."

Protect the animals

0:35 - 1:06 | From: 30 Dec 2020
A prayer for protection and balance in response to suffering. An earthquake has caused loss and hardship. Prayers and ceremonies have positive effects. We are in Kali Yuga, a distracting age. Shiva will now balance all negatives to bring a better time. Messages suggest more challenges will come. We must act. First, protect all life: in water, on land, and in the air. Do not destroy creatures; love and feed them. From your own food, give a portion to animals. This protection of others is protection for ourselves. Spiritual progress is like drawing water from a deep well; negative actions can break the rope, causing a fall. We should also practice yoga: postures like Sarvahitāsan and prāṇāyāma. These bring health. Breathing is life itself. "Shiva will balance all. He will bring that kind of energy so that all the negatives or distracting things will slowly, slowly be brought into a good position." "If we cannot give them something good, then at least we should not destroy them or make problems for them." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Practice makes perfect and healthy

1:10 - 2:12 | From: 1 Jul 2018
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Summer Yoga Camp in Vep, Hungary. Practice makes perfect. Yoga means and begins with discipline. There are many people suffering from illnesses. Focusing on the target is the main point in archery. Vishwaguruji explains the strory of the Eklavya and Arjuna to illustrate what it means to practice.

Highlights

The truth is tapas

2:20 - 3:26 | From 1 Mar 2007
The Kumbha pot symbolizes the nectar of immortality, a truth within spiritual practice. During the Kumbh Melā, bathing at the sacred confluence during an auspicious constellation cleanses karma and bestows blessings. I took the ritual bath for all devotees, transferring the merits for their health and realization. The immense gathering generates a collective spiritual energy that awakens inner strength. However, the spiritual path is often obscured by false claims of psychic powers and siddhis. Many pretend to see auras or tell futures, exploiting pure-hearted seekers. Such lies are a great sin and a major obstacle. True spiritual power manifests naturally through presence and goodness, not for show or gain. Do not be deceived by those offering magical solutions or creating fear. Your focus must remain on genuine devotion and practice under a true lineage. Expectations lead to disappointment; be like the steadfast banyan tree, providing shelter without attachment. The ultimate goal is self-realization, ending all suffering. "Satya barabar tap nahi, jhoot barabar pāp—there is no austerity more than truth, and no greater sin than to lie." "Be that banyan tree which welcomes everyone, is never overwhelmed, and never sad."

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: 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
