Great Saints set an example
0:35 - 1:35 (60 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on dharma, sādhanā, and the essence of scripture. "Dharma means rightness—the dharma of humans, animals, nature, seasons, husband, wife, children, friends, and neighbors. It is not about worshipping separate gods." "The essence of all these scriptures is contained in just two words: 'Śuk diyā śuk hot hai, aur duk diyā duk hoī.' If you give pleasure to others, you will receive pleasure. If you give trouble to others, you will receive trouble." Swami Satyāśāntānanda delivers a teaching, contrasting superficial yoga techniques with the higher path of sādhanā. He defines true dharma as universal righteousness beyond religious division, emphasizing satsaṅg and the study of saints' lives. Using parables and references to historical figures—from Jesus and Guru Gobind Singh's sons to a self-sacrificing ṛṣi—he illustrates the power of commitment to dharma and the inner study of the self (svādhyāya).

The real Guru is in oneness
1:50 - 2:51 (61 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on universal oneness and the nature of the divine path. "If a God says, 'Do not worship that God,' then neither is that God right, nor are you good. We have to come to oneness." "The drop is not there. I am not a drop. I am the ocean. Similarly, we are in that condition. But you are still not near the beach of the ocean." The speaker, likely a spiritual teacher, leads a satsang exploring the essential unity of all spiritual paths and deities. He emphasizes that a true guru or God would never forbid the worship of another, advocating for a non-sectarian devotion. Using metaphors like a drop merging into the ocean and the irreversible flight of an airplane, he discusses the preciousness of time, the journey of the soul, and the nature of prana (life force) as both a suffering entity and a divine connection. The talk weaves between philosophical points, practical advice, and anecdotal reflections, concluding with a call for inner purity and an end to religious duality.

An elder teacher addresses a gathering, emphasizing the need for personalized yoga instruction and for students to become qualified teachers themselves. He critiques superficial academic approaches to yoga while paradoxically advocating for establishing yoga in universities. Using metaphors of children, families, and falling leaves, he stresses the importance of spiritual lineage (parampara) and staying connected to one's roots, ultimately pointing toward the soul's journey and liberation.

A satsang addressing the consumption of insects in food and advocating for consumer awareness and unity. "They have decided in the whole world, and they also give to India.

Prepare your bread, prepare your chapati, roti, or falahari diet." Following a personal anecdote about a health issue, a speaker discusses the global introduction of insects into the food supply. A representative from the Czech Republic explains local regulations requiring ingredient labeling, while a devotee from London shares efforts to lobby in the UK and EU parliaments. The discussion expands to cover the spiritual and health implications of diet, referencing Ayurvedic concepts like prāṇa.

Life, they are all one." The lecturer speaks at the Yogandī Life center in Vienna on the anniversary of Gurudev Swami Madhavānandajī.

The Healing Bridge: Integrating Yoga into Modern Medicine

Recorded on
A medical doctor shares his experience integrating the Yoga in Daily Life system into his clinical practice. "After each surgery I perform... a quiet question always arises within me: 'What more could I have done for these patients beforehand?'" "I advise them: 'Practice the Yoga in Daily Life system as a complete system.'... By engaging with the system as a whole, they resolve their own issues." An orthopedic surgeon and yoga teacher addresses a spiritual gathering, explaining how he applies yogic principles on three levels: as preventive healthcare, as a supportive adjunct to surgery, and as a primary treatment for psychosomatic conditions. He argues that the modern world's rapid, restless pace creates ailments that a holistic yoga system can effectively address, sharing anecdotal evidence from his patients and expressing deep gratitude to the spiritual teachers who brought the system to his country.

The Silent Revolution: Yoga as the Antidote to Mind Pollution and Failed Leadership
15:15 - 15:38 (23 min)
Recorded on
A keynote address proposing yoga as a solution to global leadership crises and mind pollution. "The most dangerous threat to humanity today is not violence or terrorism, as the media suggests. The greatest damage comes from what I call mind pollution." "Yoga is a systematic, conscious science of human development. Its main technique is gaining mastery over the mind, stopping the internal dialogue." The speaker diagnoses widespread leadership failures—citing a lack of self-awareness and emotional intelligence—and argues that media sensationalism creates disproportionate fear. Presenting comparative mortality statistics, he contends that "mind pollution" is a greater threat than terrorism. He defines yoga as a holistic science for mastering the mind and accelerating human evolution, concluding with a call to integrate comprehensive yoga systems into global education and leadership training to foster peace.
