I recognise this - One of the speakers in the video is from the Self-realisation Fellowship Order. I had some involvement with them before coming across the BK. They promote the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, who may ring a few bells as the author of "Autobiography of a Yogi". Yogananda believed that the precession of the Equinox was caused by the Sun's proximity to a companion star, and that it was the influence of this eliptically governed proximity, that affected a waxing and waning of human conciousness over the course of the 24,000 year long processional period.
I'd say that even during my time of BK involvement, I continued to prefer Yogananda's historical angle. However, I did not have the depth of meditional experience with SRF that I was subsequently lucky enough to have with the BK, so I guess in their different ways, I've found aspects of both paths to be enlightening.
I am not sure what connection there is, if any, between the SRF and the video's distributors who call themselves the Binary Research Institute, but for anyone interested to find out more about the Great Year, some more links:
