Prayer will reach our chakras
0:10 - 0:56 (46 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the human body as an instrument, chakras, and daily practice. "Our instruments in our body, and the instruments we use all day long, then we go to sleep. That is where we are going; we go to sleep." "First, I am human. When we think really, really, then the whole day we will not do anything wrong to other humans." Swami Ji addresses the morning gathering, using the fragility of translation equipment and a personal childhood story about a horse to illustrate the need for careful handling of all 'instruments'—including the human body. He outlines an ideal morning routine of gratitude, starting with recognizing one's humanity and honoring parents and the Earth. The talk introduces a long-term study of chakras and kuṇḍalinī, while cautioning against fear and emphasizing that everyone is already divine and should proceed naturally under a true guru's guidance.

How can I love myself?
3:00 - 3:33 (33 min)
Recorded on
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.

Why we do Anusthan
3:40 - 4:40 (60 min)
Recorded on
A discourse on the purpose and practice of Anuṣṭhāna, a spiritual observance. "Anuṣṭhāna is when you make a saṅkalpa. Saṅkalpa means you promise yourself to undertake a practice for a certain purpose: for spiritual development, for good health, for success." "We pray that all creatures should live in peace, harmony, and health. God protect all. This is our Anuṣṭhāna for this year." A spiritual teacher explains the traditional practice of Anuṣṭhāna, a vowed observance for specific purposes like family harmony, health, or agricultural success. He contrasts its ideal use for unity and blessings with modern distortions, like praying for divorce. The talk expands to advocate for Anuṣṭhāna as a prayer for universal well-being, encompassing family, community, nature, and all living creatures, emphasizing harmony with the natural world and compassion for animals.

A spiritual discourse on the presence of hidden sages and the nature of true spirituality. "Often, at the Kumbh Melā, great sādhus speak of certain saints.

"Holī Gurujī said, 'One in all and all in one.' ... if one from one religion criticizes others, then this is not a true recipient, not a spiritual person." Swami Ji addresses the assembly, describing the great, invisible ṛṣis (sages) who protect humanity from hidden places like Himalayan glaciers. He emphasizes universal oneness, warning that criticizing others reveals one's own negativity, and shares a parable about a guru repeatedly saving a scorpion to illustrate maintaining one's compassionate nature regardless of others' actions.

A morning satsang on the guru's grace, devotion, and the power of teaching through stories. "Na’haṁ kartā means we are not the doer. We cannot do it. If we think we do, it may be confusing. So we give it with both our hands; we surrender it at the holy feet of Mahāprabhujī." "So, when someone asks you, and you give… The answer first to them. First, give your answers... The answer is yours because you are now a great man." The speaker, Swami Avatarpuri, opens with the principle of surrender to the guru's grace. He uses analogies, like a sculptor transforming stone into a worshipped deity, to illustrate how devotion elevates the ordinary.

An instructor addresses a group, advising them to release attachment to past experiences and future anxieties.

The Inner Conflict of Śiva
14:17 - 15:12 (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.

Pranayam always must begin in the left nostril. The ocean is the power of the Earth. All five elements have their power. We need power positive but hard.
