A satsang discourse weaving Upanishadic teachings with personal reflection on a spiritual name. "The father explained that everything in the space comes from one cause. That cause is Brahma, or the Absolute." "Gaṇeśa is the lord of these elements... What does it mean if someone is ruling over the elements? It means he is able to control, to balance, to harmonize all the elements." Following opening prayers, the speaker narrates the Upanishadic story of a father teaching his son Śvetaketu the Mahāvākya "Tat Tvam Asi" (You are That), using analogies of clay, seeds, salt in water, and rivers in the ocean to illustrate the all-pervading Brahma. The discourse then shifts to a personal exploration of the speaker's name, Gajanant (Gaṇeśa), explaining its symbolism through Purāṇic stories, its role in bhajans as an invocation of the guru, and finally, its deepest meaning as the yogic principle that harmonizes the elements.

A discourse analyzing the devotional hymn "The Slave of the Beloved," exploring the meaning of its verses and the state of total spiritual surrender. "The 'dās' meaning servant.

You are the sign showing the path to the truth, to the reality of God." The speaker provides a line-by-line interpretation of the hymn's Sanskrit and Hindi verses, explaining key concepts like total surrender (dās), divine radiance (Nūr), and the guru's role as a guide.

Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. We always worry about death. Death is a universal law. Our mind is always restless. We can train it by mantra.

The story of a man who planned that when Yama came, he would hide somewhere. We should meditate always not only when we are in trouble. We should remember God every day, at least a little bit.

Who are we to judge others? Our negative thoughts will only harm ourself.

A satsang exploring the concept of self-love through the framework of the four aspects of divine grace (kripa). "Swāmījī did not really use this word, but I know it comes from Holī Gurujī; he is always using that." "Love each and every living being, if not more, then at least as much as yourself."

He focuses on Kuṭkī Kripa as self-love, arguing it is a prerequisite for loving others. He outlines a practical path to self-love through self-acceptance, self-understanding, and self-giving, linking it to core teachings. He shares an anecdote about a woman healing from ALS through self-love and concludes with a traditional story about Guru Nānak illustrating the complex workings of karma.

Morning satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. "Yesterday, the topic was karma yoga, and I realized that for me, this has been the main form of yoga for the past twenty years. It is a very practical way to submit ourselves to the Supreme. Swamiji and his successor, Swami Avatarpuriji, are the way for us. " "Holi Guruji always said: One in all and all in one. For me, the starting point was a book about the relationship between the Master and his disciple. Then a strong desire arose in me to find an original, genuine Indian Guru. The next day, I saw a poster at the university announcing a lecture by an original, genuine Indian Guru." "I went to the next seminar every time. At the second seminar, I asked Swami ten questions, and he gave me the task of establishing a yoga center." Swami Avatarpuri leads the mansik puja to Gurudeva.

We listen many times the same story to understand more and more. We can reach peace if we are contented. At firsz we should accept ourselves and than we can accept other people. Go forward on the way Gurudev is inside with you. Things happening in our lives make us stronger. The knowledge is flowing from generation to generation in a parampara. Short explanation of yama and niyama rules.
