A spiritual discourse on perseverance, self-knowledge, and the inner faculties. "It is not easy for anyone to remain steadfast on one path. This is true for everybody; it doesn't matter who you are. But when one has a single target, one can achieve it." "He learned a lesson: if the ant cannot give up, why should I give up my sādhanā? I am sure one day I will achieve my goal. I may fall down many times, but I will get up again." The speaker shares a parable about an ant persevering to carry a grain of rice, using it to illustrate the necessity of steadfastness on the spiritual path. He expands into an extended metaphor of the body as a coach, with the ten indriyas (faculties) as horses and the Ātmā as the king within. He emphasizes the crucial role of Viveka (discriminative intellect) as the king's advisor to guard against inner thieves like lust, anger, and greed, concluding that the Guru's word is the weapon that dispels them.

A culinary lecture and demonstration on vegetarian cooking, focusing on legumes and practical dietary wisdom. "A common mistake is when someone says, 'I am independent of food; I am already a great yogī; I do not care what I eat.' But this is not a sign of spiritual maturity." "The difference between us vegetarians and non-vegetarians is that we eat such food daily, while they might have it two or three times a week." The speaker, Jaroslav, opens by discussing the philosophy of vegetarian food, arguing it should be a pleasurable gastronomic experience for everyone. He addresses protein sources, the role of fats, and critiques common dietary mistakes. His wife then takes over to explain detailed techniques for preparing legumes to improve digestibility, including soaking, peeling, and spicing. She also introduces a product called Hraška (pea flour) as a versatile, egg-like binding agent. The session concludes with a Q&A where the couple fields questions on soy sauce, legume varieties, and product availability. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A satsang discourse weaving Upanishadic teachings with personal reflection on a spiritual name. "The father explained that everything in the space comes from one cause. That cause is Brahma, or the Absolute." "Gaṇeśa is the lord of these elements... What does it mean if someone is ruling over the elements? It means he is able to control, to balance, to harmonize all the elements." Following opening prayers, the speaker narrates the Upanishadic story of a father teaching his son Śvetaketu the Mahāvākya "Tat Tvam Asi" (You are That), using analogies of clay, seeds, salt in water, and rivers in the ocean to illustrate the all-pervading Brahma. The discourse then shifts to a personal exploration of the speaker's name, Gajanant (Gaṇeśa), explaining its symbolism through Purāṇic stories, its role in bhajans as an invocation of the guru, and finally, its deepest meaning as the yogic principle that harmonizes the elements.

A spiritual discourse on the message of Christmas, drawing parallels to Hindu teachings. "Whenever God incarnates, He is born; a mother gives birth. It is the result of many lives of tapasyā, the austerity of the parents, that such a divine soul is born to that mother." "The message of Jesus is love, mercy, understanding, simple living, and higher thinking. It does not matter what happens; do not give up your path." The lecturer leads a satsang reflecting on the deeper significance of Christmas. He discusses the nature of divine incarnation (nitya and nimitta avatāra), the universal message of love and sacrifice exemplified by Jesus, and the struggles faced by holy figures. The talk expands to include teachings on God's providence, the importance of positive thinking, and parallels from the Mahābhārata, such as the story of Kuntī. He concludes with a practical exhortation to cultivate unconditional positive thinking in daily life. Filming location: Vép, Hungary

An opening address and discourse on spirituality, religion, and self-discovery at a conference. "Religions are like various rivers trying to reach the ocean, and spirituality is the ocean where we all try to reach." "The subtler the thing becomes, the more powerful it is... the ātmā, which is part of Paramātmā, which is part of Brahma." Swami Chidānand opens a conference by welcoming the Indian Ambassador to Hungary, Gauri Shankar Gupta. The Ambassador delivers a speech comparing religions to rivers flowing into the ocean of spirituality, analyzing the human body, senses, mind, and soul to illustrate the power of the subtle self. Swami Chidānand then expands on these themes, discussing the nature of desire, the power of mantra, and the unity of all existence beyond religious forms, concluding with a traditional peace invocation.

A spiritual discourse on meditation, mantra, and the guru principle. "Without a Guru Mantra, meditation is like a statue without life in it." "Gu means darkness, and ru means light. He is the one who removes the darkness of ignorance and leads us to the light of wisdom, freedom, and mokṣa." The lecturer delivers an evening satsang, explaining mantra as the essential seed of meditation. He details the importance of a guru-given mantra, describes the guru as a divine principle beyond form, and outlines a five-stage practice for perfecting mantra repetition, from writing to silent, automatic resonance.

Evening satsang with Swamiji from Wellington Ashram, New Zealand.Yoga is a very ancient science of the body, mind and soul. It supports our physical, mental, social and spiritual health. In the human life we are very close to the final aim. If we change our practice and behaviour we lose the healthy energy. We are trying to meditate, but we can't. We should start with the principles of yama and niyama to develop the best quality. Hold on, it is still not too late.

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. In reality, there is no sunrise or sunset - only the Earth is moving. It is said that the Moon is balancing the Earth. There are many different constellations. The Moon has a strong effect on nature. Sometimes, if someone goes on the wrong way it can influence others. We have to practice pranayama systematically. The master of the mind is the Moon; the principle of the Moon is water and water means movement. It is balancing our whole body.

A satsang commemorating the incarnation day of Satguru Swāmī Madhavānandjī, focusing on devotion, family, and spiritual roots. "Every breath was a remembrance of Mahāprabhujī: every inhalation and exhalation, I repeat thy name." "O Rahim Dās, the thread of love is fragile—do not break it with a little misunderstanding.
