THE PILGRIM
This film narrates the arc of a traveller who discovered through the course of his various journeys that he was always a pilgrim. It is a metaphorical reminder to each of us who is at heart a pilgrim. Even if our journeys on the surface look different, underneath those differences it is the same eternal quest that calls us. Ultimately, we are all walking toward the same mystery. A film made by Harish Devnani and Jarna Virani Devnani

Ram Hari
A short film on the recent visit to Vinoba Bhave Ashram in Brahma Vidya Mandir, Paunar, India. Founded by Vinoba Bhave, Brahma Vidya Mandir is the temple (Mandir) where one seeks the wisdom and experience(Vidya) of the Absolute(Brahma). Women’s spiritual emancipation is the motto of Brahma Vidya Mandir. At present, in all, 28 sisters live in the ashram. they come from different states of India and one is from Japan. Without distinction of caste, creed, language, religion, and nationality they share their lives together. Brothers closely associated with Vinobaji also lived with the sisters. Life in Brahma Vidya Mandir is the fusion of the three classic currents of sadhana, Karma (action), Jnana (knowledge), and Bhakti (devotion). This threeefold combination provides the means to meet the fundamental needs of the body, mind and spirit. The members of Brahma Vidya Mandir are diligently committed to Samuhik Sadhana(collective spiritual pursuit for the realization of the Self). This collective spiritual sadhana is central theme of the ashram. In short, this means surrendering all of one’s capacities at the feet of the Lord, abiding in the group, and seeing the inter-union of all aspirants as different organs of one body. There are 5 pillars of the community’s spiritual life, all grounded in satya(truth) and ahimsa (nonviolence). The pillars are Brahmacharya(celibacy), Samuhik Sadhana, Shrama(productive manual labour), Swadhyaya (self study) and Bhakti (devotion). More : http://hellowardha.com/leftsidemenu/pavanar-ashram/

Awakening into Oneness - Annette Kaiser
We’re living through a powerful turning point — a kind of cosmic squeeze where darkness and light are wrestling, helping us awaken to a deeper oneness. The invitation now is simple yet profound: stay present, choose love over fear, and trust that life is guiding us. As we grow more peaceful and compassionate, we begin to co-create a new Earth, together with others — and with the new generation already born remembering who they truly are. Summary: (00:09–01:48) The speaker describes humanity’s current stage as a bottleneck in evolution, where dark and light energies struggle for balance. This period reflects both chaos and awakening, requiring conscious discernment of the information we consume—like choosing nourishing food over junk food. (01:48–02:33) Humanity is transitioning from a myth of separation to a consciousness of oneness. The current global conflicts may be seen as “final battles,” inviting compassion and understanding rather than fear. (02:33–03:33) Amidst crisis, we are called to recognize new opportunities for growth and co-creation—to envision and build a “new Earth” together through awareness and unity. (03:33–05:18) For individuals on a spiritual path, this era is an invitation to mastery. The first step is cultivating presence—living moment to moment and trusting in life’s inherent support. (05:18–07:28) The core of mastery is love—a radiant, unconditional force that embraces all beings and experiences. This loving presence transforms fear and limitation into peace and expansion. (07:28–09:21) Another aspect of mastery is inner peace amid turbulence—remaining calm and compassionate despite external negativity or media influence by returning to breath and awareness. (09:21–11:28) Practicing non-judgment and reverence toward all forms of life—people, work, and nature—elevates our surroundings and reveals the holiness in everything. (11:28–12:19) The light within consciousness is stronger than darkness. Like light entering a dark room, awareness naturally dispels negativity when we remain centered in presence. (12:19–15:09) True mastery means going beyond reaction and polarity—responding consciously rather than reacting automatically. This breaks conditioned behavior and anchors us in unity. (15:09–17:58) The talk concludes with a call for community and collaboration—to join like-minded souls co-creating the new Earth. Children born today embody this consciousness, and by supporting one another, humanity can move toward a more radiant, compassionate existence.

Spirituality meets science in practice - a review - Annette Kaiser
In this reflective talk, Annette shares her lifelong quest to understand life’s deeper purpose — moving from the study of economics and sociology to an exploration of consciousness and metaphysics. She traces her journey from questioning social systems and women’s emancipation to discovering that true freedom and balance arise from within. Blending science and spirituality, Annette speaks of inner alchemy, compassion, and the power of love as keys to cocreating a harmonious, awakened world. Summary : 00:09-01:08 – Annette reflects on early life questions: “Why am I here?”, “What is my purpose?”, “What intention should I live by?” She studied economics and sociology, searching for scientific answers but feeling unsatisfied. 01:08-02:13 – Moves to Berlin; studies historical materialism (Marx, Hegel) to understand alienation and why society is the way it is. Returns to Switzerland to do thesis on how families might live in a balanced way beyond traditional structure. 02:13-04:10 – Thesis examined not only economic/financial and social systems/cultural conditioning, but also how to find balance in family dynamics for men, women, children. Looks at women’s emancipation: at that time in Switzerland women lacked many rights (bank accounts, vote). 05:03-06:22 – Annette introduces women who have created alternative family or community living models. Learns that what she thought emancipation was isn’t always what people live in practice. She explores the inner limitations—psychological, karmic—that affect free choice. 07:26-09:31 – Emphasis shifts to inner life: spirituality as a “science of metaphysics.” Annette says that beyond outer systems (economy, sociology), our internal intention, feelings, thoughts, worldview matter greatly. Understanding who we are inside is essential to cocreating a new world. 10:21-12:40 – Talks about presence, inner stillness. How thoughts (positive/negative), reactions to others, compassion and visualization (e.g. healing for others) are ways to work with consciousness. She posits that consciousness is energy, and we can affect reality through this. 13:44-16:30 – A new earth is possible through shift from ego-driven, separation consciousness into present, loving awareness. Love, compassion, opening hardened hearts, healing collective and personal trauma, recognizing our divine potential—all part of cocreation of a more harmonious world.
