A devotee recounts her spiritual journey, from a divine call to finding her Guru.

Rukhswani, an Indian woman living in New Zealand, describes a 1992 vision of Lord Krishna compelling her to make a milk pudding, which leads her to a satsang with Swāmī Śrī Māheśvarañjī.

Mind and chakras
1:55 - 2:20 (25 min)

A lecture on the nature of the mind, subconscious impressions, and yogic philosophy.
"Our senses are mostly connected to and work with the consciousness, the awakened state."
"The mind is that principle which functions between the conscious and subconscious, pendling up and down."
The teacher provides a detailed explanation of how sensory impressions become stored desires in the subconscious, using the analogy of an unfulfilled ice cream craving manifesting in a dream. He describes the mind as a pendulum between conscious and subconscious levels, warning against blocking mental energy and instead advocating for directing it through self-discipline. The talk expands into the relationship between emotion, intellect, consciousness, and the nadis (Ida, Pingala, Sushumna), linking psychological concepts to the chakra system and the dormant energy of kundalini.

Narada cursed Vishnu
3:15 - 3:58 (43 min)

A narration of the mythological story of Nārada's curse upon Lord Viṣṇu, followed by a discourse on its spiritual meaning.
"You made me a monkey, and I tell you, when you will be in great trouble, only the monkey will help you, nobody else."
"The merciful Lord said, 'Nārada, that was all My icchā. It was My will.'"
The speaker recounts how the sage Nārada, enraged after being tricked by Viṣṇu's illusion (māyā), confronts the Lord to curse Him. In his anger, Nārada pronounces a curse that Viṣṇu will incarnate as Rāma, suffer separation from His wife, and be aided by monkeys. Viṣṇu accepts the curse, explaining it was His own divine will, and later dissolves the illusion. A remorseful Nārada seeks forgiveness, and Viṣṇu promises to give him a liberating Kriyā. The talk includes a tangential account of the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan) to illustrate Nārada's accusations.

The Effect of Karma on the Soul
4:05 - 4:46 (41 min)

A spiritual discourse exploring karma and liberation through two illustrative stories.
"The soul in this cobra was a great bhakta, a dedicated scholar. But he did not yet renounce his goal... he has gone through his karma, and now it is time for him to be granted Mokṣa, liberation."
"If someone slaps you, then you are to blame, not the other who slaps you... You were there, that is how it is. Therefore, accept what happens."
The speaker narrates two parables to explain the effect of karma on the soul. The first describes how the sage Mahāprabhujī liberated the soul of an old cobra, revealing it was a former devotee working through its karma. The second tells of Saint Sagramdās, who encounters a camel bearing the karma of a cruel tax collector. Through these stories, the discourse emphasizes that beings reap the consequences of their actions across lifetimes, and that selfless service (Sevā) is the supreme path to lightening one's karmic burden.

Yoga is a science
12:35 - 13:54 (79 min)

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."

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.

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.

The real Guru is in oneness
23:55 - 0:56 (61 min)

A spiritual discourse on universal oneness and the nature of the divine path.
"If a God says, 'Do not worship that God,' then neither is that God right, nor are you good. We have to come to oneness."
