Morning lecture from the weekend seminar in Vienna, Austria with translation in English.

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 spiritual discourse on the necessity of a guru and the symbolism of the Mūlādhāra chakra. "Yoga without spirituality is a body without a soul. A part of yoga requires a master." "Your being in this world is more needed than you think. Therefore, never think that you want to die now." Swami Anand Arun explains the essential role of a spiritual guide (guru), using analogies like learning to drive. He then details the Mūlādhāra (root) chakra, describing its red color, earth element, and the lotus as a symbol for living in the world with detachment. He emphasizes serving others with love and wisdom, urging attendees to be a light for others. Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

A spiritual discourse on the meaning and power of satsaṅga. "It was very hard, very hard. I think in your country it was also, no? It was very much." "Sat means truth. Satsaṅga, truth. Each and every word should be such that we should know the truth." The lecturer addresses a gathering, reflecting on the global difficulties of the past years, including pandemic-related travel disruptions. He explores the concept of satsaṅga, defining "sat" as truth and emphasizing the importance of truthful company and spiritual practice. The talk meanders through themes of guru lineages, the impermanence of the body compared to the lasting nature of one's name, and the unifying principle of truth amidst worldly distinctions.

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.

A satsang discourse on prāṇa, diet, and Haṭha Yoga practices. "Prāṇāyāma means 'āyāma'—exercise or regulation. Like āsanas are yoga Vyāyāma (yogic exercise), this Vyāyāma is for every joint, muscle, ligament, and tissue in the body." "Haṭha Yoga is a most powerful technique. It is said even God adores the Haṭha Yogī. But a Haṭha Yogī has no moha (attachment), no desires, no rāga and dveṣa." The lecturer continues teachings on prāṇa, explaining the three parts of prāṇāyāma and warning against premature practice of breath retention. He links prāṇa to nourishment, advocating for fresh, sattvic food and criticizing alcohol, old food, and cheese. He outlines the six techniques of Haṭha Yoga—Netī, Dhautī, Bastī, Naulī, Trāṭak, and Kapālabhātī—describing their benefits and promoting group practice. The talk distinguishes between physical preparation and the ultimate goal of yoga, concluding with the importance of the Guru's grace in attaining liberation. Filming location: Vép, Hungary

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."

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.

A lecture on the chakra system and spiritual purification. "The human birth and human body possess very special abilities and a most powerful tool: the intellect. Through our intellect, we can discover all our hidden powers." "Before we awake or open the chapter of the chakra... [there are] three negative points to address... mala, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa." Swami Paramananda leads an evening satsang from the Yoga and Life Ashram, continuing a series on the chakras. He explains the human body's subtle anatomy, including the 72,000 nerves and the three primary nāḍīs (Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā). The core teaching focuses on the three obstacles to spiritual awakening: impurities (mala), mental disturbances (vikṣepa), and the veil of ignorance (āvaraṇa).
