Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the path of discipleship, austerity, and selfless service. "Gurujī said, 'I have my spiritualities, my jñāna, my knowledge, everything. What do I want from others?'" "To go on the path is not easy. One path is with torrents. Another path is very hot, with sand. And there is a knife on the side of the knife. On that, you have to go." The speaker shares memories of austere early days with his Guru in a simple Jaipur ashram, illustrating the saint's path of inner richness over material possession. He uses parables, like that of a greedy rich man, and metaphors, like the firing of a clay pot, to teach the value of seva (selfless service), detachment, and rigorous spiritual training. The talk contrasts this with modern distractions and concludes with a focus on foundational spiritual practices. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The speaker explains the symbolism of the lotus flower and its connection to the body's chakras and the ideal time for spiritual practice (Brahma Muhurta). He expands the discussion to critique modern food production and chemicals, linking physical health to spiritual vitality.

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Strilky Ashram is very good place to practise spiritual sadhana. A jiva many times comes and goes, again and again. Every creature has the same atma. In the end, our atma arrives to God like a drop of water to the ocean. The story of a rakshasa (demon) who got a siddhi (special ability) from Shiva to burn anybody with his hand. God also burns up all negative qualities. God's light reaches everywhere. Those who are separated sooner or later will split. Dirty water is going out of the Ganga. Water is powerful. A bathe in the Alakhananda River cleanses us from all our negative qualities, thoughts and feelings. After that, if we are negative, it's like the dust coming to us again. We can clean ourselves with our breath.

The Inner Conflict of Śiva
17:15 - 18:10 (55 min)
Recorded on
A narrative discourse exploring the inner conflict of Lord Śiva following Satī's test of Lord Rāma. "Sometimes, to speak the truth is not easy. You hesitate to tell something; you do not want to lose face." "Therefore, God, please, you can take everything away, or may I lose everything, but not one thing: my belief, my devotion to you." The speaker recounts the mythological story where Satī, after testing Rāma by disguising herself as Sītā, lies to Śiva about her actions. Śiva, the knower of all, discovers the truth through his divine sight and is plunged into a profound inner conflict. He wrestles with a dilemma: to love Satī in her transformed state feels like a sin that would compromise his pure devotion (bhakti) to Rāma, yet he cannot reject his pure and faithful consort. The discourse uses this story to examine themes of truth, doubt, devotion, and the painful inner arguments that arise when faith is tested, concluding that only divine mercy can resolve such struggles.

This is whatever we see now: we were cooking, we are eating, we are drinking, we are shopping—anything we are doing. This is from outside to inside." "What this sleep means is that we are 100% aware about our Self, and so it is very comfortable, relaxed, and peaceful. That is your life." Swami Madhvānandaji addresses the community, explaining the three common states of waking (Jagrat), dreaming (Svapna), and deep sleep (Suṣupta). He emphasizes the divine quality of sleep as a time to be with the inner Self (Ātmā) and introduces the higher state of Yoga Nidrā, described as a conscious sleep where yogis are awake to the Supreme. The talk concludes with a transition to the Sandhyā prayer, marking the junction of day and night. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
