An evening satsang on unity, awareness, and forgiveness. "Whenever Bhaktas come, unite, and sit together, that is Dīvālī, that is Christmas." "More than anything, there is forgiveness. When we forgive people for what they have done, it's not for them, it's for us." A swami addresses a full hall, emphasizing the power of collective devotion to transform the age. He discusses the importance of awareness in daily life, using personal anecdotes about zoning out while driving and reducing phone use. He stresses that selfless service (seva) requires devotion (bhava) and explains unity through the metaphor of beads on a thread of Guru Bhakti. He shares a story from the Ramayana about a dog seeking justice to illustrate forgiveness and the dangers of ego, concluding with teachings on living in the present and protecting dharma.

A satsang reflecting on the deeper meaning of Raksha Bandhan. "The promises and vows we make during Rakṣābandhan are not only between brothers and sisters. It is also us telling ourselves to protect our mind from negativity, to protect our tongue from harsh words, and to protect our actions from adharma." "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. The discourse concludes with blessings for peace and unity. F

A spiritual discourse exploring attachment, divine knowledge, and a mythological story about immortality. "Love is the greatest. That love is God, and God is love. Our love for our dear ones, parents, ancestors, sisters, brothers, friends, animals, house pets, even our car." "Therefore, moha. Moha means ignorance, and moha means attachment." The speaker delivers an evening satsang, weaving together philosophical teachings on attachment (moha) with the story of Shiva, Parvati, and the quest for immortal wisdom. He explains how attachment leads to suffering, illustrating this with the tale of Sati's self-immolation and Shiva's grief. The narrative then focuses on Parvati's insistence that Shiva teach her the secret of immortality, a secret that is accidentally overheard by a clever parrot, leading to the birth of the sage Shukadeva. The talk emphasizes the challenges of spiritual practice and the need for a true Guru. Filming location: Vienna, Austria

A devotional discourse on the power of the divine name and Guru's grace. "For the beings of the world—the jīvas and jinn—His name itself is the boat to cross the ocean of existence." "By always contemplating His name with grace, desire, anger, and greed are cut down." The speaker offers praise to Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, described as a divine incarnation. The central theme is that constant remembrance and contemplation of this divine name serves as a vehicle for liberation, protecting devotees from worldly afflictions and illusion, and immersing them in divine absorption. The Guru's grace is presented as the essential means for this crossing. Filming location: Vép, Hungary

A satsang exploring the concept of self-love through the framework of the four aspects of divine grace (kripa). "Swāmījī did not really use this word, but I know it comes from Holī Gurujī; he is always using that." "Love each and every living being, if not more, then at least as much as yourself." Guru Lilā, addressing the community, explains the four aspects of kripa: Deva Kripa (grace of the gods), Śāstra Kripa (grace of the scriptures), Guru Kripa (the Guru's grace), and Kuṭkī Kripa (self-grace). 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. He shares an anecdote about a woman healing from ALS through self-love and concludes with a traditional story about Guru Nānak illustrating the complex workings of karma.

Morning lecture with Mahamandaleshwar Swami Jasrajpuriji at Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic

A spiritual discourse using the water cycle as a metaphor for the soul's journey. "This jīvā, the soul, is on the journey of the eternal." "When this drop falls into the ocean, the Jīva becomes the Ātmā. This drop becomes the ocean." Swami Avatarpuri gives a satsang, explaining the soul's separation from and longing to return to the divine source through an extended analogy of evaporation and rainfall. He emphasizes the purifying role of satsang and the Guru, shares anecdotes about introducing mantra in Eastern Europe and criticizes modern chemical pollution and vanity as spiritual impediments, concluding with a call for natural living and collective chanting.

A spiritual discourse on the journey of the soul through birth, death, and karma. "Our soul—not the Ātmā, but the soul... the soul is individual, not universal." "Only two will follow us: our good or bad karmas. And that becomes destiny. And against destiny we have no power." A spiritual teacher explains the nature of the individual soul (Jīvātmā) as a wave of the universal resonance. He describes its journey through time, bound by karma, its entry into a physical body, and the rare opportunity of human birth. He emphasizes the inescapable law of karma governed by body, mind, speech, and wealth, and concludes that liberation comes through spiritual practice and the Guru's grace, which dissolves the soul back into the Supreme.

Jadan Ashram, District Pali, Rajasthan, India. Lecture by Swami Avatarpuriji. Explanation of the meaning of the world ashram.

A ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of a yoga center and its inauguration as an ashram in Ptuj. "Yoga in Daily Life is the authentic school of yoga from India. We, the teachers... carry this out as our mission. We do this voluntarily; we do not make a business of yoga." "Yoga is the science of body, mind, and soul. Two very important things to know are yoga and Āyurveda." A representative of the yoga center opens by recounting its 25-year history of community service. Swami Maheshwarananda (Swamiji) then delivers the main address, blessing the new ashram. He speaks on the ancient origins and holistic benefits of yoga and Ayurveda, sharing the story of Hanuman from the Ramayana to illustrate a point. The Indian Ambassador and local officials also offer congratulations. The event includes a mantra chanting and the presentation of a Shiva Lingam to the center. Filming locations: Ptuj, Slovenia.

A discourse on a guru's non-discriminatory teaching methods, using a parable from the Mahabharata. "If yoga is in your blood, then yoga is in your blood. It means it is a home tradition, a home culture." "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. Filming location: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
