A spiritual discourse on the soul's journey, karma, and the five sheaths of being. "When this all went back to the astral world, it was not easy... All the time in the astral world, the certain situation of the karma, the destiny, is going on." "God has given the humans that 'I give you the freedom. Now I liberate you.' But there is a 'but.' Whatever you will do again, you have to face the karma." A spiritual teacher delivers a satsang, explaining the cycle of birth, death, and karma across the astral and mortal worlds. He uses parables, like walking through a coal mine, to illustrate the challenges of human life and the consequences of action. The talk introduces the first two of the five kośas (sheaths), focusing on the physical (annamaya) and energy (prāṇamaya) bodies, emphasizing proper nourishment and life force.

The real Guru is in oneness
1:00 - 2:01 (61 min)
Recorded on
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." "The drop is not there. I am not a drop. I am the ocean. Similarly, we are in that condition. But you are still not near the beach of the ocean." The speaker, likely a spiritual teacher, leads a satsang exploring the essential unity of all spiritual paths and deities. He emphasizes that a true guru or God would never forbid the worship of another, advocating for a non-sectarian devotion. Using metaphors like a drop merging into the ocean and the irreversible flight of an airplane, he discusses the preciousness of time, the journey of the soul, and the nature of prana (life force) as both a suffering entity and a divine connection. The talk weaves between philosophical points, practical advice, and anecdotal reflections, concluding with a call for inner purity and an end to religious duality.

A spiritual discourse on the five sheaths (kośas) and the impact of nourishment. "Jaisā khāī annā, vaisā rahe man—what kind of nourishment or food you are eating—like that will turn your mind." "So first is the physical nourishment, Annamaya Kośa... What kind of food you will eat, like that will be your mentality." Swami Ji explains the five layers of human existence, beginning with the food sheath (Annamaya Kośa). He emphasizes how diet shapes one's energy, mind, and consciousness, weaving in critiques of modern food systems, historical anecdotes about pre-industrial community life, and cautionary tales about arguing with a spiritual master. The talk uses the symbol of the crocodile in the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra to represent destructive emotions. Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

He explains how diet influences the mind through the three guṇas (qualities), stressing the importance of sāttvic food and the principle of non-violence.

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.

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.

The Effect of Karma on the Soul
20:10 - 20:51 (41 min)
Recorded on
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.

A satsang featuring a discourse by scholar Śrī Gulābjī Kothārī on spiritual life and householder duties. "Today is a very auspicious day, a holy day, a divine day, a day full of colour and happiness." "The basic aim of life is... everybody should prosper and have a good life. But once it is over at 50, you are moving towards the society, then you move towards... the path has changed to enlightenment." Swami Maheshvarananda introduces the visiting scholar Śrī Gulābjī Kothārī to the ashram gathering. Gulābjī delivers an extensive talk on integrating spiritual practice with worldly life, framing existence within the Vedic puruṣārthas (dharma, artha, kāma, mokṣa). He explains the journey of the soul, the importance of living in the present, and details a cosmology where food (annam) and the elements (Agni and Soma) link human life to the universe. A significant portion addresses the dynamics of married life (Gṛhasthāśrama), described as a 25-year period where complementary masculine and feminine principles unite for creation and spiritual growth. The session concludes with a question-and-answer segment where Gulābjī and Swamiji discuss challenges to family life in the modern West, emphasizing traditional gender roles.

Mind and chakras
22:10 - 22:35 (25 min)
Recorded on
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.

Yoga is a science
22:40 - 23:59 (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
