The truth is tapas
A spiritual discourse reflecting on the Kumbh Mela and warning against false spiritual powers.
"If you bathe during that constellation, the nectar still has an effect on you—meaning it cleans your karmas and blesses you with immortality."
"There is no austerity more than truth. To follow the truth is the biggest austerity, tapasyā—and no greater sin than to lie."
Swami Avatarpuri begins by describing his profound experience at the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, taking a sacred bath for all devotees. He then shifts to a cautionary theme, recounting stories of Holy Guruji exposing fraudulent fortune tellers and so-called healers. He warns devotees against those who claim siddhis (powers) like seeing auras or predicting futures, arguing these are obstacles to true spiritual progress. He advises focusing on genuine devotion and practice, sharing a personal story where Mahaprabhuji counseled him to be like a steadfast banyan tree, free from expectation.

Purify your body from poison
A spiritual discourse on the Viśuddhi chakra, happiness, and internal purification.
"Happiness is within ourselves. Peace is within ourselves. And unhappiness is from outside."
"It is said that in life, when we walk... beside you is walking your death. You can see it is like the shadow, the shadow of your body."
Swami Anand Arun leads an evening satsang, exploring the sources of happiness and unhappiness through analogies and stories. He uses the parable of a couple's 50-year misunderstanding over a piece of bread to illustrate how unspoken resentments act as a poison, stored in the Viśuddhi (purification) chakra. The talk connects this to the myth of Shiva consuming the cosmic poison, advocating for forgiveness, clear communication, and daily pranayama to purify this negative energy and prevent physical and emotional ailments.
