Satsang Is Divine
0:20 - 0:59 (39 min)
The supreme door is entered through satsaṅg, the highest and easiest spiritual path. Real renunciation is of desires, not material things. Satsaṅg with pure feeling destroys countless sins. The mind creates delusion and fear about this path. One example is a cave where a voice warns not to take anything, yet both taking and not taking lead to regret. A student who takes soil finds diamonds, representing the unexpected gain from connection. Another example is of thieves whose father warns them to avoid satsaṅg. One thief hears a single phrase during satsaṅg: "Devotees are not the shadow of the deities." This word later allows him to see through a false goddess and save his life. From one word of truth, salvation is possible. Satsaṅg is a divine blessing.
"To reach the court of that God, there is only one way: the way of renunciation."
"Devotees are not the shadow of the deities."

Don't sleep in a dream of ignorance
1:05 - 1:52 (47 min)
Awaken to life's true purpose before the train of time departs.
Life is given according to destiny and karma, not age. The moment of departure is unknown. One must become alert and conscious to board the train; it will not wait. All worldly attachments—family, possessions, country—are left behind. Nothing material accompanies you. The purpose is the awakening of consciousness into God-realization. Practice the techniques given by the wise; otherwise, this chance is lost. Attachment is a noose causing suffering and conflict. Detachment is not neglect but love without suffering, granting freedom. After death, you face the consequences of your karma in compartments of heaven or hell, falling into a directionless nothingness. Yet, human life is beautiful and meant to be enjoyed. You came alone and will depart alone. Achieve the liberation of self-realization through spiritual practice.

Around the world - International Seminar on Indian Culture (1/2)
2:10 - 3:31 (81 min)
Yoga is the essential practice for peace, requiring direct experience over theory. Indian culture and values provide the foundation for a harmonious life, yet modern focus drifts toward material Western influences. True education balances material knowledge with spiritual wisdom, as both are necessary for the complete human being. Cultural roots must never be forgotten, for they sustain identity and purpose. The global presence of Sanātana principles reveals a shared heritage, fostering universal peace. Personal transformation through practice and traditional saṃskāras cultivates inner discipline and societal harmony.
"Tons of theory are nothing compared to a gram of practice. Until we practice yoga, there is no yoga."
"Our roots are here, so we should stick to that. No matter how high you have reached, you should never forget your roots."

Surrender to the guru's lotus feet through unconditional devotion. The Sannyāsa Sūkta is practiced.
This chant is dedicated to the guru. Sanskrit pronunciation and melody are crucial. Head movements aid memory. The mantra teaches that immortality is not attained by work, people, or wealth, but by renunciation alone. That immortality shines within the heart and is reached by the self-controlled. Practice the sounds diligently.
"Not by work, not by your people, nor by wealth. But by renunciation alone you attain immortality."
"That immortality, beyond heaven, shining within the heart, is attained by the self-controlled."

Dreams are your reality
4:10 - 4:45 (35 min)
Dreams reveal your inner reality. The Supreme, though unseen, dwells within your heart as a spark of light. Realizing this requires cultivating spiritual qualities like truth and humility while denying negativity. Your present thoughts are seeds determining future experiences across lives. What you call reality is as fleeting as a dream, a play of consciousness. Relationships shape your inner peace; hidden emotional blockages possess immense power. A harmonious partnership is a merging of souls for life's journey. Waking life and dream experiences are both layers of your conscious reality.
"Your hidden power has immense energy, and that can move everything."
"Therefore, on this planet, there is no reality. We will come and we will go, and we will experience our own reality. And that’s called a dream."

Meditation is the key
4:50 - 5:49 (59 min)
Wellness is the harmonious balance of body, mind, and soul. Vāstu Śāstra aligns our environment with cosmic energy for harmony. Our being is composed of five layers, or kośas: the physical body of nourishment, the energy body, the mental body, the intellectual body, and the bliss body. The mind is a reflection of immense speed and power that cannot be controlled or killed; desire persists from cradle to grave. Yoga is the scientific practice to awaken awareness and achieve this balance. It requires daily morning practice in a small space with fresh air. Sound and vibration are foundational; our body is created from cosmic resonance. Specific sounds like "A," "U," and "M" correspond to energy centers, or chakras, and can release tension, heal glands like the thyroid, and purify the nervous system. Chanting "OM" integrates the five bodies and clears stress by directing vibration to the brain.
"Your mind cannot be killed because your desire is still there."

Go to satsang
5:55 - 6:23 (28 min)
The path of faith is proven through direct experience and sustained by satsaṅg. A master provides simple initial practices, like a mantra. This must be done with heart and soul to feel the connection and blessing. The first step of sincere practice opens the soul to the master's consciousness. Faith in the master's guidance is essential. External circumstances are not a measure of spiritual merit, as illustrated by a parable. Two neighbors received their wages; one spent his on worldly enjoyment in kusaṅg and found a gold coin. The other attended satsaṅg but broke his leg. A sage explained the one in kusaṅg was destined for a vast treasure but received only one coin due to his company. The one in satsaṅg was destined to be killed, but his karma was mitigated to a broken leg. Never compare fortunes or judge the path by temporary outcomes. Satsaṅg opens the heart center and unites the soul with the highest consciousness. The quickest way to God is through bhakti, devotion, growing with the innocence of a child. Unconditional love for the master automatically extends to all creation. When acting for the master, close your eyes and trust he is with you.
"When you say the mantra with heart and soul, you feel the love and blessing of the Master."
"Never look at what others have or do not have. Never compare."

The Presence of the Guru
6:00 - 6:43 (43 min)
The Guru is omnipresent, observing and guiding from within. His physical location is secondary to his constant spiritual presence. He feels the emotions and energies of his disciples, reacting to their inner states. The path requires surrender, trust, and devotion, not logic or personal effort. Service and love cultivate this relationship. Approach him for blessings, not for answers to trivial questions. He tests faith to strengthen it. His various expressions, even stern ones, are forms of blessing for the disciple's growth. Ultimately, he is the sole guide and protector.
"When you close your eyes, or when you even open your eyes, you can see his form sitting here."
"If we have that devotion towards him, if we have that love towards him, then we are happy and he is happy."

What are we thinking about our being?
12:55 - 14:11 (76 min)
The soul is the sovereign ruler of the inner kingdom, the body.
We are sinking in thoughts born from desire. Life grows shorter while we focus on the body. The soul ascends and descends, drawn to experience the world. In the womb, the soul is imprisoned, destined to become an individual. Upon birth, we are a separate Self. We possess the five elements: earth, water, air, fire, and space. Within them resides the soul. You are not alone; you contain a whole universe. The soul is the president, the highest authority. The senses and organs of action are the prime minister and the public, the ten powers that govern the kingdom. Do not become their slave; let them work. You are the king of your body. Your soul is your Guru, the highest Self. All humans possess the same soul, yet we create dualities and suffer. This body is a great instrument. Practice yoga—physical exercises, breath, concentration—to care for it and achieve oneness. Be humble, kind, and helpful. Never think you are unhappy, lost, or have nothing. You are the light of God.
"Your soul is your Guru. Yes. You all will become Gurus when you achieve what I am telling."

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."

The Birthday of Sri Hanumanji
18:00 - 19:12 (72 min)
Proper nourishment for the physical body is essential, yet we must be mindful of what we consume. The strong temptation for sweet, sugary foods is an addiction that harms health. Quitting prepared sugars leads to better digestion, weight loss, and improved liver function. Initial withdrawal symptoms like headaches pass, revealing the natural sweetness in whole grains and vegetables. A healthy body supports clearer awareness and a better feeling overall. Reducing sugar also helps control parasites in the body that thrive on it.

Be positive
19:20 - 20:30 (70 min)
The choice between positivity and negativity is a fundamental spiritual decision. One must not judge others without knowing the full story, as appearances are deceptive. The people and atmosphere one chooses directly shape the mind's development. Ultimately, the path is a personal choice. There are four types of grace: divine grace, the grace of parents and teachers, the supreme grace of the Guru, and one's own grace. The Guru shows the path but does not force the disciple; one's own effort is crucial. Cultivate gratitude for what you have, as craving more leads to misery, exemplified by the farmer who became unhappy after finding 99 coins. Do not seek faults in others, for that draws their negativity onto oneself. Negativity is often more alluring, but positive association is essential for growth. Even animals sense intention, as when a saint's negative thought drove swans away. Use discrimination to choose the positive path. Spiritual progress depends on personal choice, Guru's grace, and righteous living.

Bhajan singing from Slovenska Vas in the presence of Gurudev
19:45 - 20:06 (21 min)
The foundation of grace is complete surrender to the Guru, which removes all fear. The Vedas and Purāṇas seek the offering of your entire being. By surrendering to the Guru, one is promised safe passage across the worldly ocean. Trust is essential; without it, the relationship falters. The saints embody divine mercy across ages. The eternal call is to become humble dust at the divine feet. True freedom and immortality arise from this devotion. The root of everything is the Guru's form, feet, word, and grace.
"Because you have surrendered yourself to Gurudeva, do you have to be afraid?"

Gurudeva hi Kevalam
21:40 - 22:35 (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."

Gurudev is always merciful and loving
22:00 - 22:30 (30 min)
The grace of the guru is the ultimate refuge. The master's love is evident in his tireless presence for devotees, disregarding physical exhaustion to remain with them. There are many types of guides: parents, teachers, and finally the supreme Sadguru, who is essential for liberation. All pilgrimages exist at the guru's feet, making his physical arrival a profound blessing. The story of Dhruva illustrates perfect devotion; through his guru's mantra and dedicated meditation, he attained a permanent place in the heavens. Similarly, the guru constantly elevates disciples, forgiving all mistakes and never abandoning them. The guru's grace alone can free one from the endless cycle of birth and death, granting ultimate liberation. A story tells of two pilgrims seeking purification in the Ganges. They finally rest at an ashram whose guru had never visited the river. That night, they witnessed the Ganges, Yamuna, and Sarasvati—appearing as blackened goddesses—come to purify themselves by touching the dust of the guru's feet. All gods and goddesses take refuge in the guru. Therefore, having the guru's shelter removes all sorrows and sins, purifying the seeker completely.
"When we place our head at the lotus feet of Gurūdeva, then there is nothing to worry about."
"In the lotus feet of Gurudeva are all the pilgrimages."

New Moon Ceremonies
22:40 - 23:30 (50 min)
The new moon day carries great blessings and is a symbol of Śiva's darśana. Observing the twelve crescent moons grants a siddhi. Śiva, the creator of yoga, manifests in all elements. Greet Śiva upon waking to clear daily obstacles. The five elements are vital, with the sun and moon represented within as Iḍā and Piṅgalā in Svara Yoga. This science of breath instructs one's actions. Yoga is a complete science of body, mind, and soul. Eating is a sacred ceremony, a sādhanā where food is offered to Brahman. Maintain silence while eating. To fulfill wishes, one must offer something in return; nothing is free. Respect food by praying and offering a portion first. Perform daily sādhanā with discipline, such as offering water to a plant at sunrise. Making a vow, like abstaining from a fruit, tests willpower. Inner beauty of heart and behavior is true beauty.
"To see the new moon carries a great blessing. If one can see the twelve crescent moons, one will attain a siddhi."
