Guru's Darshan is the most precious
2:10 - 2:26 (16 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse sharing a traditional parable about pilgrimage and divine grace. "All day I am being bathed in by so many thousands and thousands of people. All of their sins come into me... When we come to our guru and we do seva... by the soil which touched his feet—when it touches us, we become pure." "Gaṅgājī will give you much easier darśan. Whenever you are going on the way, always try to stay only at those houses where the householder has already had Gaṅgā snāna—a bath in the Gaṅgā." A Swami addresses a satsang, recounting the story of two Brahmins on a pilgrimage to bathe in the Ganga. They follow strict advice on their journey, only to discover the river goddesses themselves—blackened by the sins of devotees—performing seva at a nearby ashram to be purified by their guru's foot-dust. The narrative illustrates that true purification comes from selfless service and guru's grace, not merely ritual. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A speaker leads a satsang, emphasizing the profound impact of words, gestures, and intention.

He warns against the commercialization of yoga and explains how the practice purifies both physical and mental impurities (vikāras), using a story about Mahatma Gandhi to illustrate the dangers of greed and false assumption.

God will never do anything negative for us." Swami Ji narrates two cautionary tales to illustrate how fear and superstition are exploited. The first story tells of a village magician who manipulates a grieving widow, and the second describes a 'ghost' that turns out to be a moonlit chimney.

The Inner Conflict of Śiva
13:15 - 14:10 (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.

An evening satsang discourse on the essence and power of mantra. "A mantra is like a seed. When we put a seed in the ground, it grows into a plant or a tree. The mantra is that seed." "Holy Gurujī always used to say... 'Man' means mind. 'Tra' means trāpti... contentment. 'Man' and 'tṛpti' means liberation." Swamiji explains the foundational concept of mantra as a spiritual seed that branches into various yoga paths like kīrtan, bhajan, and bhakti.

What we need is always the kṛpā (grace) of Gurudev. That’s the most important thing in the universe." Following opening prayers, the speaker narrates traditional stories to illustrate key themes: a contented sadhu who refuses Lord Shiva's boon, a greedy man who loses divine favor, and a lesson on not doubting divine wisdom. He warns that ego, greed, and jealousy destroy spiritual progress, emphasizing the need for humility and Guru's grace.
