The Seed of Practice
0:30 - 0:55 (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.

We need Gurudev
2:15 - 3:09 (54 min)
Recorded on
A satsang discourse on the necessity of the guru and the goal of Advaita philosophy. "The moment you begin to think you have already heard and know everything, in that moment your free fall begins." "Understand from this that the guru is not the physical body. It is most important to understand that the guru is that Guru-Tattva, the element of the guru." A speaker leads a satsang, emphasizing the eternal student's attitude and the critical role of the embodied spiritual master (Guru-Tattva) as the essential guide. Using stories and analogies—such as the matchbox with a diamond, the friend with a boat, and the river merging into the ocean—the talk explains the guru's function and explores the ultimate goal of yoga: to transcend the cycle of rebirth and realize the Advaita (non-dual) union of the individual self with the cosmic Self.

How to train our mind?

Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on taming the restless mind using a parable from Gurudeva. "Our mind is chanchal. Chanchal means very restless, and that is normal for a human mind, but you need to learn how to train and tame your mind." "In the same way, our minds are very restless, running around. We should just let it go; that is its job, to roam around and have thoughts continuously. Then, slowly, slowly, train your mind towards Guru Bhakti." A speaker recounts Gurudeva's parable of a king's untamable horse and the patient trainer who tamed it through gentle, persistent companionship and reward. The story serves as an analogy for taming the restless mind through devotion to the Guru and the path of Bhakti, rather than forceful suppression. The session concludes with the guided recitation and explanation of a Sanskrit mantra focused on meditating on the Supreme Self within the heart. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

To be independent
13:10 - 14:24 (74 min)
Recorded on
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.

"So this is full, that is full... From fullness or from the full, full arises. And if you take fullness from fullness, only fullness will remain." Swāmījī opens the session, discussing how modern technology erodes innate mental capacities and the importance of languages like Sanskrit as brain exercises. He introduces Professor Vašek from Charles University, who speaks on the depth of Indian philosophical inquiry, citing verses from the Mahābhārata and the Kena and Īśā Upaniṣads. Swāmījī then elaborates on the science of mantra, the stages of practice from writing to silent repetition (likhita to ajapā), and the path to Brahman through purifying the senses and adhering to dharma.
