Education for Flexible Identities
1:00 - 1:15 (15 min)
Recorded on
A conference presentation on education, identity, and spiritual philosophy. "If you are not able to recognize the guru in yourself, how can you recognize your guru in another person?" "We have to introduce a new... concept: that the other person is not an obstacle but a necessity for me to live my freedom." The speaker addresses the conference, exploring the themes of self-education and flexible identity. He argues that one must integrate the roles of teacher and learner, awaken self-education within, and move beyond systems that create fixed identities. He advocates for a concept of freedom where others are necessary for one's own liberty, and concludes by referencing Masaru Emoto's water crystal experiments to illustrate the impact of thought and words.

The Seed of Practice
1:20 - 1:45 (25 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the importance of practice over mere intellectual knowledge. "Too much reading also leads you nowhere. It’s only intellectual information. Therefore, practicing is very important." "God is more happy to them, those who are doing with a pure heart, not only with a pure intellect." The speaker emphasizes the necessity of faithful spiritual practice, critiquing humanity's self-inflicted suffering and disconnect from nature. He illustrates this with a parable of two brothers, a jñāna yogi focused on intellectual correctness and a bhakti yogi devoted to simple worship. The story demonstrates that sincere devotion, not perfect technique, yields spiritual power, a point reinforced by a concluding analogy about a seed growing regardless of how it is planted.

The Power of Tapasyā: Pārvatī's Resolve
3:15 - 4:03 (48 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse narrating the story of Pārvatī's resolve to perform tapasyā (austerity) and explaining its power. "Tapasya is the giver of happiness and the remover of all troubles." "Through the power of tapasyā, Brahmā is able to create this world. Through the power of that tapasyā... Viṣṇu is able to protect the world. And through that power of tapasyā, Śiva, is able to destroy all the negative powers." The speaker recounts how Pārvatī, consoling her mother Mēnā, describes a dream in which a Brāhmaṇa instructs her to undertake severe spiritual austerity, affirming the truth of sage Nārada's words. The narrative details the immense power of tapasyā, using the examples of the Hindu trinity and Śeṣanāga, and describes Pārvatī's subsequent journey into the forest for a prolonged, extreme penance to attain Lord Śiva. The discourse frequently shifts to address a modern audience directly, exhorting them to cultivate similar willpower in their own sādhanā (practice) to overcome mental obstacles and attachments.

Protecting the five tattvas
4:10 - 4:58 (48 min)
Recorded on
A morning discourse on spiritual debts, purity, and the five elements. "Our individual jīva has borrowed these five elements, and we are therefore obliged to pay them back. It means to keep these five elements pure." "There are five kinds of debt we have: Mātrī-ṛṇa, towards mother; Pitrā-ṛṇa, towards father; Deva-ṛṇa, towards the devas, the elements; Ācārya-ṛṇa, towards our teachers; and Ṛṣi-ṛṇa, towards those great ṛṣis or gurus." Swami Ji addresses a yoga teacher training group, explaining the concept of the five debts (ṛṇa) and the path of repaying them through purity. He focuses on the debt to the elemental devas, detailing how to honor and avoid polluting fire, water, and air. The talk expands into various forms of fire—from ritual and digestive to anger and passion—and stresses correct interpretation of ancient teachings. He concludes by discussing family harmony and announcing an evening film. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
The spiritual frame of our days
5:00 - 5:28 (28 min)
Recorded on
A discourse on the spiritual and practical significance of the Sandhyā rituals at dawn and dusk. "Sandhyā means connection. It refers to the juncture when the sun sets and night arrives—the joining of day and night." "In Brahma Muhūrta, all good things happen. If you let it pass, it is not good... This is not merely a religious thing. It is for our body, our life, a lifelong healthy life." The speaker explains the concept of Sandhyā as a sacred time for connection and prayer. He describes the balancing roles of Sūrya (sun) and Chandra (moon), and details a morning ritual involving waking at Brahma Muhūrta, cleansing with water, and offering prayers to the divine or one's guru. The talk emphasizes how aligning with these natural cycles promotes health, peace, and wakefulness, integrating this practice into daily life. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A spiritual discourse weaving ancient creation myths with teachings on dharma and modern life. "Jīva jīva bhakṣate: all creatures eat other creatures. So that began to move."

A spiritual teacher narrates a syncretic creation story, blending tales of Varāha lifting the earth, Brahmā's emergence from a lotus, and the evolutionary rise of life. He explains the primordial cycle of life consuming life (jīva jīva bhakṣate) and the subsequent establishment of dharma. The discourse shifts to contemporary lessons, advocating for non-violence, mindful consumption, self-reliance, and environmental responsibility, while cautioning against addiction.

Evening satsang in the occasion of Gurudev's Birthday What means independency to you? Many people where witnessing several wars. The ambition to fight is in any human and animals too. When the human gets the ambition to fight for position, for money and creating or awakening cruel thoughts, to kill or damage properties, that means, that the animal qualities awakens in their body and intellect. That we call the animal instinct. When that awakens, then the human is blinded and focusing only on that illness. There is no remedy to cure such qualities. When the animal instinct comes into the human mind and emotions, means the ambition to fight for the position, or the money and for governing the rules, then only knowledge can give us freedom and liberation. The burning desire to get liberation, this is the independent day in the life.
