A satsang discourse on the universal sound of Om and the spiritual practice of surrender. "In India, a name changes with region. In North India, you have Rāma. In Middle India, it becomes Rāma. In South India, it becomes Rāmaṇ." "The easiest option is to let go, put it down, and allow the mind to become peaceful. The happiest thing is simply to let it be, to release it calmly and let it flow." A speaker first explains the universality of Om, linking it to the words 'Amen' and 'Amin', and discusses his work promoting Indian traditional sciences in European parliaments. Swami Maheshvaranand then shares a teaching story about a restless monkey to illustrate how surrendering thoughts leads to peace, emphasizing meditation and devotion to the Guru.

Swami Ji addresses the community, reflecting on the past year of the pandemic and advocating for the healing power of Sarvahita Yoga, a system he developed for all ages and abilities.

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.

A spiritual discourse on prāṇāyāma and the interconnectedness of life, addressing modern pollution. "To pollute the earth is a sin. It means you pollute Mother Earth." "The most dangerous pollution is in the human mind. And that mind is so polluted, and of course, everyone is proud of that—how much my mind is polluted." Swami Madhavan Ji delivers an evening talk, beginning with the science of breath (Pūrak, Rechak, Kumbhak) and the sacredness of Sanskrit. He expands the theme to describe a profound chain of pollution: of the Earth, our physical bodies through toxins, and finally our minds through negative thoughts. He presents yoga and prāṇāyāma as the essential science to purify these layers, explaining how breathwork balances the Ida and Pingala nadis and burns away karmic impurities, ultimately leading to unity with Brahman.

A spiritual discourse on living in the present moment and the nature of past, present, and future. "Therefore, it is at present. Be in the present." "So the past is gone. The present is here. But you think, 'In the future, I will also get this.' But you will not get it. That’s it." An instructor addresses a group, advising them to release attachment to past experiences and future anxieties. He advocates for a simple, relaxed practice, contrasting it with other meditation techniques. Using stories, such as a dog losing its bread by coveting a reflection, he illustrates the futility of dwelling on what is gone or what might be, emphasizing that true practice (Anuṣṭhāna) is about being grounded in the now.

Yoga is a science
15:40 - 16:59 (79 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual lecture on Kuṇḍalinī, chakras, and the purpose of human life. "Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. Yoga without spirituality is like a body without a soul." "Chakra is that which is purifying our body, mind, and consciousness. Chakra has to be purified through practice of mantra, prayers, or some yogic kriyās. Then the kuṇḍalinī will awake." The teacher continues a multi-day seminar, delving into the nature of human consciousness through the lens of Kuṇḍalinī energy and the chakra system. He explains the five layers of the body (kośas), the persistence of karma using an analogy of salt in water, and the symbolism of the Mūlādhāra chakra—its red color, lotus imagery, and four petals representing the four aims of life: dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa. The discourse expands into themes of universal love, friendship, and living in the world with detachment, like a lotus in water. Filming location: Australia

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.
