Swami Anand Arun leads an evening satsang, exploring the sources of happiness and unhappiness through analogies and stories.

1:15 - 2:12 (57 min)

A spiritual lecture on the nāḍīs, cakras, and the foundational Mūlādhāra Cakra.
"The Mūlādhāra Cakra is at the bottom of the spinal column. It is a border between animal and human consciousness."

The speaker continues a discourse from the previous day, focusing on the Mūlādhāra Cakra as the seat of destiny (prārabdha) and divine energy. He explains how this foundational energy influences life and can be purified through the threefold practice of svādhyāya (self-study), manana (contemplation), and abhyāsa (persistent practice), which remove the obstacles of impurity, distraction, and veils.

"Masters have equal vision and no differences. If there are differences, then they are not masters."
In response to a question about teaching Indians versus Europeans differently, the speaker explains that while foundational knowledge is the same, the method must suit the student's cultural background, like learning to cook at home versus from scratch. He then narrates the story of Eklavya, who, though rejected by the teacher Dronacharya, honored him as his guru from afar and offered his thumb as guru dakshina, illustrating that true teaching and devotion transcend physical presence and formal instruction. The master's love, like sunlight, shines on all disciples equally without favoritism.

Purify your body from poison
0:50 - 2:04 (74 min)

A spiritual discourse on the Viśuddhi chakra, happiness, and internal purification.
"Happiness is within ourselves. Peace is within ourselves. And unhappiness is from outside."
"It is said that in life, when we walk... beside you is walking your death. You can see it is like the shadow, the shadow of your body."
Swami Anand Arun leads an evening satsang, exploring the sources of happiness and unhappiness through analogies and stories. He uses the parable of a couple's 50-year misunderstanding over a piece of bread to illustrate how unspoken resentments act as a poison, stored in the Viśuddhi (purification) chakra. The talk connects this to the myth of Shiva consuming the cosmic poison, advocating for forgiveness, clear communication, and daily pranayama to purify this negative energy and prevent physical and emotional ailments.

4:44 - 4:59 (15 min)

A satsang reflecting on the deeper meaning of Raksha Bandhan.

"Gurudev always said, 'Helping hands are better than folded hands.' So when we can, we promise to ourselves, we promise to our siblings, we promise to our friends, we promise to everyone, our guru. Then we must keep those promises and those vows."
Following morning celebrations, a speaker expands on the festival of Raksha Bandhan, explaining it as a universal vow of protection that extends beyond siblings to include oneself and one's guru. The talk emphasizes protecting one's mind and actions from negativity, and the importance of keeping one's vows through tangible action, illustrated by a story about a brother and sister.

He focuses on Kuṭkī Kripa as self-love, arguing it is a prerequisite for loving others. He outlines a practical path to self-love through self-acceptance, self-understanding, and self-giving, linking it to core teachings.

The Nāḍīs, Cakras, and the Mūlādhāra Foundation
7:15 - 8:12 (57 min)

A spiritual lecture on the nāḍīs, cakras, and the foundational Mūlādhāra Cakra.
"The Mūlādhāra Cakra is at the bottom of the spinal column. It is a border between animal and human consciousness."
"Destiny was created first, and destiny is created individually. We should blame no one. We are ourselves responsible for our destiny."
The speaker continues a discourse from the previous day, focusing on the Mūlādhāra Cakra as the seat of destiny (prārabdha) and divine energy. He explains how this foundational energy influences life and can be purified through the threefold practice of svādhyāya (self-study), manana (contemplation), and abhyāsa (persistent practice), which remove the obstacles of impurity, distraction, and veils. The talk connects these concepts to Kuṇḍalinī Śakti, the role of Kriyā Yoga, and concludes with a symbolic discussion of the tilak mark.

The truth is tapas
8:20 - 9:26 (66 min)

A spiritual discourse reflecting on the Kumbh Mela and warning against false spiritual powers.
"If you bathe during that constellation, the nectar still has an effect on you—meaning it cleans your karmas and blesses you with immortality."
"There is no austerity more than truth. To follow the truth is the biggest austerity, tapasyā—and no greater sin than to lie."
Swami Avatarpuri begins by describing his profound experience at the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, taking a sacred bath for all devotees. He then shifts to a cautionary theme, recounting stories of Holy Guruji exposing fraudulent fortune tellers and so-called healers. He warns devotees against those who claim siddhis (powers) like seeing auras or predicting futures, arguing these are obstacles to true spiritual progress. He advises focusing on genuine devotion and practice, sharing a personal story where Mahaprabhuji counseled him to be like a steadfast banyan tree, free from expectation.
