How to think of black magic
0:10 - 0:57 (47 min)
Recorded on
A satsang discourse debunking fear-based beliefs around black magic and ghosts through storytelling. "People are very much frightened. They speak of ghosts and such things, and many claim they can take away the black magic which is supposedly on you." "If we believe in God, then believe in God. God will give everything. God will never do anything negative for us." Swami Ji narrates two cautionary tales to illustrate how fear and superstition are exploited. The first story tells of a village magician who manipulates a grieving widow, and the second describes a 'ghost' that turns out to be a moonlit chimney. He emphasizes that true spiritual practice, such as having a Guru Mantra and faith, offers protection, concluding that it is one's own fear, not external forces, that causes suffering.

Recorded on
A satsang discourse on prāṇa, diet, and Haṭha Yoga practices. "Prāṇāyāma means 'āyāma'—exercise or regulation.

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
