The aim of human life
Public lecture with Vishwaguruji from Martin, Slovakia. Yoga means uniting, harmonizing and balancing. Our earth is a living planet, in each and every cell of the body there is an immense amount of energy. The aim of the human life is to achieve liberation. Nourishment, breath, behavior and practicing yoga exercises, are the main points if we would like to be healthy and keep ourselves pure.

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.

Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (4/9)
Morning Yoga practice from the international Yoga retreat Umag, Croatia on 28th of September 2010.
Master should have equal vision
A discourse on a guru's non-discriminatory teaching methods, using a parable from the Mahabharata.
"If yoga is in your blood, then yoga is in your blood. It means it is a home tradition, a home culture."
"Masters have equal vision and no differences. If there are differences, then they are not masters."
In response to a question about teaching Indians versus Europeans differently, the speaker explains that while foundational knowledge is the same, the method must suit the student's cultural background, like learning to cook at home versus from scratch. He then narrates the story of Eklavya, who, though rejected by the teacher Dronacharya, honored him as his guru from afar and offered his thumb as guru dakshina, illustrating that true teaching and devotion transcend physical presence and formal instruction. The master's love, like sunlight, shines on all disciples equally without favoritism.
