Gurudev sees our past and future
0:40 - 1:56 (76 min)
The guru's grace can alter destiny and guide one beyond astrological predictions. Jyotishvidya provides a map of karmic tendencies, yet the guru's law is supreme. A story illustrates this: a seer wrote a miserable destiny for two princes. Their guru later instructed them to act against that written fate, demanding a golden deer and selling horses daily. By refusing ordinary outcomes, they compelled destiny to yield prosperity, eventually restoring their royal status. This demonstrates that the guru's instruction can rewrite life's script. Personal experience confirms that insisting against the guru's protective advice leads one into preordained suffering, while surrender brings peace. Relinquishing personal will allows the guru to orchestrate life, reducing karmic burdens. Complete surrender is true renunciation, not a loss but a natural turning toward divine joy, leaving suffering behind. The highest, permanent Ananda is found not in worldly or communal pleasure, but in this self-surrender.
"Honī koṭā sakyevo guru"—what is supposed to happen, the guru can make it go away.
"With Gurudev’s blessings, with Gurudev’s kṛpā, it doesn’t matter what you have in your destiny."

2:30 - 4:08 (98 min)
A peaceful night and the daily routine are opportunities for spiritual awareness and unity with the divine.
Deep sleep is a state of unity beyond all worldly identities. Before sleep, offer the day's actions to God, seeking forgiveness and protection. Upon awakening, express gratitude for this protection during the state of ignorance. Greet the earth with awareness of its burden. Recognize water as the sacred element of life. The daily shower is an imitation of the sacred ablution, connecting us to nature. All elements are manifestations of the divine through which God works. Nourishment is a gift from the divine Mother. One should offer food to God before eating, transforming it into sacred sustenance. The kitchen is your pharmacy; true health comes from fresh, whole foods prepared with love and discipline. Grind spices freshly to preserve their life force and aroma. This practice supports physical health and emotional calm. Conduct, contemplation, and positive thinking are essential. Humbleness and focusing on the essential lead to realization. How one speaks and behaves towards others is fundamental; politeness opens hearts. Live simply and be content.
"In deep sleep, you know nothing of being a millionaire or a beggar. In deep sleep, you know nothing of whether you are sick or healthy."
"Your kitchen is your pharmacy. Ayurveda is in your hand. What you buy and how you cook, with love and organic whole foods and herbs, all fresh—that is Ayurveda."

Gurudeva hi Kevalam
4:15 - 5:10 (55 min)
The mind creates complex knots that only the Guru's grace can easily untie.
Human nature is drawn to negativity and overthinking, which tightens our mental knots of sadness and confusion. These difficulties come and go. We often remember the Guru only when troubled, yet constant remembrance is needed. The Guru assigns karma yoga to quiet the restless mind and remove inner obstacles. Attempting to solve our own problems often worsens them. True solution comes from surrendering the knot to the Guru, who finds the simple loop to release it. Faith in the Guru's guidance transforms seemingly complicated situations.
"A coin has two sides. We might see one side and not see the other side."
"In the same way, our sadness or the thoughts, the negative thoughts in our mind, are a simple knot. But our mind tries to untangle it, to overthink it, and just makes the situation even worse."

The divine play intertwines destiny and grace. Even great souls endure profound trials, as seen in the lives of Jesus and the Sufi Mansur, who taught divine unity and faced crucifixion. Such experiences may be a destined task to demonstrate truth. The story of Lakshmana's near death illustrates divine intervention, where Hanuman retrieves the life-restoring Sanjivani herb from the Himalayas. In this age, spiritual practice is the essential refuge. Chanting God's name purifies energy within the body's centers, transforming swallowed circumstances. A master's guidance, aligned with sacred wisdom, can influence the unfolding of destiny. True devotion is an unbreakable bond of trust, merging the individual soul with the divine. "Why, Father, I?" And He said, "Because I trust you." "In this Kali yuga, oh humans, for us is only one source, shelter, or one thing to hold, and that is just kīrtan, bhajan." Filming location: Melbourne, Australia

The radiance of the true Guru dispels all darkness.
The true Guru is the embodiment of divine knowledge. That Guru is not an ordinary person but the very form of God. Meeting such a Guru is the ultimate fortune. The Guru's grace alone can illuminate the inner self. Without this grace, one remains in ignorance. The Guru's word is the supreme authority. Through the Guru, one attains liberation.

The yogic sleep of the realized being is a state of wakeful awareness. In that sleep, one knows wakefulness and makes the night bright as day. The senses are withdrawn yet perceiving, unattached like a white lotus in muddy water. One abides in the self, radiant on the throne of the heart. Wherever one looks or hears, there is no ordinary thought or sight. This is the sleep known to saints and sages, where consciousness remains fully conscious.

A Warm Welcome and the Three Books
12:10 - 12:18 (8 min)
Welcome back, and remember the three books containing all wisdom.
We are very happy for your return after three months. While waiting, I recalled Swāmījī's teaching from years ago. He said he had given us everything through three books: a yoga book, a chakra book, and the Līlā Amṛt. He explained that all answers are there. For a physical problem, consult the yoga book. For spiritual development, see the chakra book. For bhakti, turn to Līlā Amṛt, our bible. This thought came at the airport. So we have everything with Swāmījī here and in these books. We are happy to see you and wish you a good time here, with less stress. We look forward to satsaṅg and lectures.
"You only have to look in those three books. Everything is explained there."
"When you have any problem with your bhakti, look into our bible: the Līlā Amṛt, the Living Light."

Mind and chakras
14:30 - 14:55 (25 min)
The mind functions between the conscious and subconscious levels. The conscious state receives information through the five senses while awake. These impressions are immediately transferred to the subconscious, a storeroom of all past experiences from this life. These stored impressions generate desires, or vāsanā. Strong desires rise from the subconscious into the conscious mind. The intellect judges and defines these desires. Unfulfilled desires return to the subconscious, becoming formless and creating psychic problems. Blocking these desires is like damming a river, leading to overflow and distress. The mind must be directed, not stopped. Control the senses and limit desires to achieve peace. Balance between emotion, intellect, and consciousness is essential for a harmonious life.
"Impressions and desires are like a river flowing constantly. You should not block the river."
"Self-discipline means to direct your mind, your desires, your ambition... in that particular direction."

The Practice and Power of Trāṭaka
17:00 - 17:52 (52 min)
Trāṭaka is the practice of steady gazing to develop concentration and purify the mind. The best object is a pure ghee lamp flame, though a candle flame, a black dot, or a sacred image are also suitable. Never gaze at your own reflection in a mirror, as it can cause psychic disturbances. Gazing at the rising sun should last only half a minute to protect eyesight. This practice dispels fear, anxiety, and mental impurities, clearing the inner instrument. When performed with discipline every morning and evening for twelve years without a single break, it bestows a siddhi: the gaze becomes pure and merciful, attracting others. However, this attainment is blocked by a negative internal state. The practice awakens Sarasvatī's power in the throat, granting eloquent speech and artistic intuition. It illuminates the inner space, calms mental fluctuations, and aids in awakening the Kuṇḍalinī. It also empowers speech, making words balanced and meaningful, while teaching the importance of non-violence in speech, as verbal wounds are deep and lasting. Full benefit requires a personal Guru Mantra and guidance from a qualified teacher to avoid mental problems. The practical method involves sitting straight, establishing the correct distance to the flame, repeating the mantra, and alternating between external gazing and internal focus on the after-image.
"By practicing Trāṭaka every morning and evening without interruption for twelve years, one attains a siddhi."
"Only Gurudev can remove the darkness of the heart."

We are full of resonance
19:40 - 20:34 (54 min)
All paths converge to a single essence. Different masters and gods are like separate drops that ultimately enter the ocean. From that ocean, differentiation arises again, just as water evaporates to form clouds. The purpose is to understand why some return quickly while others fall far away. A story illustrates this: seeds ground between two stones become flour, but a handful near the central hook remain complete. Those who surrender at the holy feet are like those seeds; they are not ground but come to the highest. Another story tells of a yogi saddened by slaughter; in meditation, it was revealed the karma belongs to the actors, not the witness. Satsang attendees are already there and will reach the supreme. The sound within, like the ocean's resonance, is Nādarūpa Parabrahma. This vibration is in the whole universe and within all. Do not sit passively like a dead body; respond and awaken to this sound.
"Those who come to the Gurudevs, or your God, or your temples, or your church—where we are at the holy feet of the gods—they will not be ground."
"It is their karma, and they will get it back again. But you have done nothing. You see, it is painful, but you have not done."

The essence is always the same
22:00 - 22:38 (38 min)
The essence of satsaṅg is transformation through timeless presence. Stories from the past contain profound teachings to be digested. Time and place dictate appropriate behavior, yet the essence of pure yoga remains constant, adapting through different eras. The teacher is always in accordance with time, yet also ahead of it. This foresight is demonstrated through precise predictions that later manifest. The required flexibility is not merely physical but of the heart and mind. Constant change transforms the disciple, akin to a worm becoming a bee, which is a necessary but difficult process. Being present in the satsaṅg's energy is a blessing, requiring no other duties. One must decide to absorb this transformative energy fully, like a wooden spoon retains honey. This energy changes individuals, society, and the environment. Physical presence is paramount; watching remotely is an incomplete experience. The teacher provides the essential current, like electricity to lighthouses or the thread in a mālā. Each disciple is given precisely what is needed to grow, whether in good soil or on stone.

Mansik Puja, Vienna
22:45 - 23:33 (48 min)
The subject is Mānasik Pūjā, or mental worship of one's chosen deity. Many practitioners ask how to meditate effectively. Meditating on external symbols like nature can eventually feel empty. The superior practice is internal, devotional service performed within the mind. This mental ceremony nourishes the practitioner with strength and clarity. It transforms perception, allowing one to see the living presence in a sacred image, not mere stone. This feeling is essential; without it, ritual is empty. Service performed with love and imagination is an expression of inner beauty. When you act from the heart in meditation, you explore your devotion. Love contains no demands; it is self-understood. This practice is a personal secret between you and your deity. By serving mentally, you receive peace and your love reflects outward, affecting your entire day. God's light is in every heart; realizing this is true self-realization.
"Therefore, the best solution is Mānasik Pūjā. When you perform Mānasik Pūjā, the mental ceremony, you emerge from your meditation full of strength, energy, love, and clarity."
"In every heart, in every heart, God’s light is reflecting. That is called self-realization. Self means yourself. Realization is that you realize: your self, and everyone is your self."

The Self and The Soul, Melbourne
23:40 - 1:10 (90 min)
Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, a blessing for human well-being to protect all creatures. The practice aims to bring mind and body to silence and balance to hear inner knowledge. Spiritual progress requires gentle, loving self-approach, not force, and perseverance during difficult times. The goal is to purify the individual soul of karma through thought, word, and deed, leading it to merge with the universal Ātmā, which is indestructible and present in all.
"The whole practice is to come to that point of silence without changing it before it gets into your conscious."
"Karma will leave no one free. Karma will come back."
