Lecture by Swamiji from Umag, Croatia, September 2000

A satsang on the regenerative power of collective spiritual practice and the concept of Kāya Kalpa. "This Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna has a regenerating function for our energy and our spirituality. It is like Kāya Kalpa." "Kāya Kalpa means that you are like a newborn. Your hair will be its original color from birth... all the systems are very healthy and very good." The lecturer explains the benefits of group spiritual practice (anuṣṭhāna), describing it as a mutual exchange of energy that prevents the loneliness and difficulty of solitary practice. He expands the theme into a discourse on Kāya Kalpa, or bodily regeneration, linking it to diet, natural living, and purification through practices like prānāyāma. He offers specific, Āyurveda-inspired advice on ghee, sugar, and oral hygiene, while cautioning against meat and processed foods, using anecdotes about cows and disciples to illustrate his points.

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. God gave spirituality to humans. There is God in the water, earth, air and food also. All creatures got their life from God. The story of Buddha, who dedicated his life to God. The story of a young Indian princess who wants to continue her father's spiritual work. We are like a God but unfortunately, we have lost our way. God gave us much beauty but now we use much makeup. We should know and respect the value of life. There are some people in the world who tortured cats and dogs. But the cat and dog can reborn as a human and vice versa. There are also many very good people in the world. In prayer, we go to God. Be always humble and peaceful. Nowadays many foods are not healthy, some are not even edible.

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.

A spiritual discourse on Kuṇḍalinī, Śakti, and the foundational rites for spiritual practice. "Kuṇḍalinī is the energy in our body. Kuṇḍalinī is a kind of consciousness which has clarity, and it leads the aspirant to the highest level of consciousness." "Your Kriya Yoga will be successful. At that time, your Kuṇḍalinī will be pure, and it will awaken. Otherwise... they remain only a fairy tale." Following a children's performance, Swami Ji delivers a morning satsang exploring the nature of Kuṇḍalinī energy and its connection to Kriyā Yoga. He explains that successful spiritual awakening depends on fulfilling one's ancestral obligations through the sixteen Vedic saṃskāras (rites of passage), detailing ceremonies like ear piercing (Karṇa Vedha) and the funeral rites (Antyeṣṭi, Kapāla Kriyā). He emphasizes that unfulfilled duties to ancestors can obstruct one's practice and family harmony, and invites attendees to participate in upcoming ceremonies to liberate these ancestral souls.

A satsang discourse blending spiritual teachings with a story from the Ramayana. "This consciousness is unbroken; it is everywhere. There is absolutely no place where it is not." "I took you over Gaṅgā. So you take me over this ocean of suffering." A speaker addresses a retreat gathering, first paying homage to the all-pervading consciousness and the Guru. He shares the story of a clever ferryman who, recognizing Lord Rama's divinity, bargains to wash his feet for passage and then asks Rama to ferry him across the ocean of suffering.

A morning satsang on devotion, grace, and personal spiritual experiences. "For Gurudeva also, we do not need to present a golden chariot and such things. He is one of the most simple, natural persons." "He works on bhāva. Bhāva means feelings. It is very similar with Gurudeva. He works on feelings." Swami Avatarpuri opens the session by discussing the simplicity of devotion, using the example of Lord Shiva's grace toward a sincere, unlearned forest dweller. He announces a daily Shiva Abhisheka ritual for the seminar. Several disciples then share personal stories of meeting their Guru, receiving mantra initiation, and learning through karma yoga and subtle guidance, all emphasizing the transformative power of the Guru's grace and the importance of heartfelt intention (bhāva).

A spiritual discourse on the inner fire of tapasyā (austerity) and renunciation. "God has given this human life with many good things, as well as past negatives, unpleasantness, sorrows, and attachments. Now, every one of us would like very much to become holy. But how many minutes, hours, or days do we give to tapasyā before we give up?" "Tapasyā is a fire which burns all negative qualities; everything burns. Fire is one of the best elements which purifies everything." The lecturer addresses a webcast from the Alagpuriji Siddhapitha, reflecting on the nature of true renunciation (vairagya) and spiritual practice. He explains that all positive and negative qualities originate within the self, and emphasizes that sustained tapasyā—the inner fire of austerity—is needed to purify consciousness and burn away attachments. He shares anecdotes about the severe tapasyā of his Guru, Sri Sri Madhavanandaji, in the deserts of Rajasthan, which sanctified the land and led to the establishment of a Shiva temple. The talk concludes with an invitation to a ten-day inauguration festival at the temple in Jadan. Filming location: Vienna, Austria

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. Manas is the storehouse of memories. Yogis are not attached to things. Only the bond between the disciple and the Guru is permanent. 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. Unfortunately present Indian generation is beginning to forget their roots. Birth and death come and go, but remember the name of God.

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. When Vishwaguruji in his young age first time arrived in Europe very few people heard about yoga and many people ate meat.

Many Czech people are with Vishwaguruji from that time till now. The story of a grandmother in Czechoslovakia who didn't want that her grandchild becomes a vegetarian. Satsang bhajans and prayer were also very new for people at that time. We have to take care of our family. At that time people prayed before eating but now they do not.

A spiritual discourse on the nature of life, death, and authentic practice. "Life is everywhere. Then there are the flying creatures... They are happy, or they think, 'We are all right, we are good.'" "It is said that if they burn the body completely, everything that is there, then they are going far... all is going, life." The speaker shares a series of contemplations and personal anecdotes, including a story about a mother figure (Mātājī) in Vienna and a nighttime encounter with a spiritual presence resembling his Guru. He discusses the pervasiveness of life, the process of death and cremation, and uses the metaphor of a drop merging into the ocean to describe spiritual unity. The talk concludes with a critique of modern yoga practices focused on money rather than genuine inner realization. Filming location: Vienna, Austria
