Ayurvedic advice on proper nourishment

Recorded on
A satsang on the integral relationship between Yoga and Āyurveda as essential nourishment. "A human requires two types of food or nourishment. One is the physical food we eat... But we also have a mind. The mind likewise needs a kind of nourishment, which is bhajan, mantra, and the study of spiritual scriptures." "Yoga and Āyurveda are brothers... Āyurveda tells humans what they should eat, when they should eat, and what they should not eat." Following opening prayers and salutations, a speaker addresses the assembly, introducing the concept of dual nourishment for body and mind. The talk focuses primarily on Āyurvedic principles for physical health, detailing rules for water consumption to support digestion and balance the bodily doshas (vāta, pitta, kapha). Key advice includes maintaining a 45-minute gap between drinking water and eating, avoiding ice-cold water, and drinking room-temperature water sip by sip. The session concludes with a chant and a prayer. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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.

I have listened to Guru Gītā for more than 40 years, and I must say that every time I hear something new inside." Following traditional invocations, a speaker addresses a gathering, weaving teachings on personal duty (dharma) with illustrative stories, including a sādhu persistently saving a scorpion and Nārada's lesson from Lord Viṣṇu. The talk emphasizes perseverance in one's path, learning from failures, and the critical role of regular satsang and deep, repetitive study of core teachings like the Guru Gītā over seeking novel techniques.

The Seed of Practice
12:50 - 13:15 (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.

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.

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.

The session begins with creating a personal resolution (Śaṅkalpa), followed by a detailed body scan for physical relaxation. The guide then leads awareness to the breath and prāṇa (energy) in the abdominal, chest, and throat areas, incorporating the mantra so'ham.
