Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Children are very disciplined during the programs because their parents educated them towards spirituality.

Holiguruji told many stories to Visheówaguruji in his childhood about Devpuriji and Mahaprabuji. Vishwaguruji realized the prediction of Devpuriji. We don't know where the seed will grow. Reading holy books every day new knowledge comes. The story of an Indian man who issued a newspaper in India and travelled with Viwshwaguruji in Europe. Knowledge takes the human healthy and happy. We should give further the knowledge of our forefathers to our children. The first university was in India. There were very many books but Muslims burnt them. God gives eating everybody in the world. Little more information about the first university in the world was in India.

Mahāmudāleśwar Swāmī Chidambaranand Saraswatī Ji Mahārāj, with translation by Swāmī Niranjanānandaji, explains the dichotomy between the worldly path of suffering and the spiritual path to bliss. He emphasizes that while family introduces one to the world, only a Sadguru can introduce one to God, the creator.

Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Martin, Slovakia. We should ask ourselves: Who am I? From where did I come? Where I am going? In order to have liberation, we need the blessing of the Guru.

A satsang on the sacred practice of Kriyā and the necessity of the guru's grace.

"To become a disciple is not easy, not easy, not easy... we are also on that path of God, supreme, highest, and we are now walking on that path." The lecturer addresses the gathering, emphasizing the gravity of Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna practice and the danger of undertaking it without genuine guru grace. Using metaphors of carrying a flame through a storm and walking a knife's edge, he illustrates the spiritual path's difficulty. He warns against students presuming to teach the technique, comparing it to a nurse performing heart surgery, and stresses that authentic practice comes only through the guru paramparā.

If your mālā has some value for you, you will keep it in a safe place... Because of that, you will, from your mālā, get energy when you need it." A speaker leads a satsang, emphasizing the profound impact of words, gestures, and intention. He discusses how language shapes reality, using examples from addressing others to serving food and respecting spiritual objects like a mala.

A satsang discourse on the importance of sāttvic food, strong digestive fire (agni), and the karmic effects of our actions. "In yoga, it is very important to know cooking. I heard from Viśvagurujī that it will be excellent if we are able to cook for ourselves—not to go to restaurants, not fast food, but to prepare food for yourself." "That is such a great lesson to us, that we, like a Yogī, should have such a kind of digesting fire, that kind of agni, jāṭharāgni, to be able to dissolve everything." Swami Vivek Puri and another speaker lead a satsang, emphasizing the spiritual and practical importance of cooking and consuming sāttvic, vegetarian food prepared with good intent. They explain how strong agni, cultivated through Haṭha Yoga practices like Agniśa Kriyā and Bhastrikā prāṇāyāma, allows one to digest not only food but also negative experiences. Several illustrative stories are shared, including a yogi defeating a demon through his digestive power, a woman whose poisoned food karmically affects her own family, and a thief whose negative intent temporarily influences a guru through offered food. The discourse consistently links diet to mental state, karma, and safe spiritual practice within the Yoga in Daily Life system. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

An evening satsang and mantra teaching session on the power of spiritual company and the Guru's grace. "A spiritual person who was very dedicated towards spirituality can completely change his behavior just because of the food which he eats." "Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalaṁ Śāśvika Ānanda Maṅgalam. So, when you have Gurudev's kṛpā, then the śiṣya is always in happiness." A Swami leads the gathering, first recounting a parable about a king's secretary whose life is ruined after his chef secretly feeds him meat, illustrating how negative influences (kusaṅga) and food can degrade spirituality. He emphasizes the importance of satsaṅga (good company), using the Guru's grace as the ultimate protection and guide.

Swami Maheshvarananda leads a teaching session, exploring how to observe life without judgment. He explains a directive from Vishva Guruji using a parable of a man mistaking a drowning bear for a blanket, illustrating the need for wise detachment. He discusses how our thoughts shape our reality, using examples from daily life and classical texts like the Ramayana and Marcus Aurelius's Meditations, emphasizing disciplined thought transformation as core spiritual practice.

A lecture on the integral connection between yoga and spirituality, delivered in Bratislava. "Yoga is that science and that quality which will save humanity. Without spirituality, it's like a body without a soul." "Yoga without spirituality is a body without soul. Spirituality is a life of yoga." Swami Madhvānandaji addresses an audience, emphasizing that authentic yoga is a spiritual science of body, mind, and soul, not merely physical exercise. 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.

Therefore, what we are doing, pūjā, prārthanā, so Father, first, what is a mother? One God comes." The speaker delivers a satsang, weaving together themes of non-duality, using the metaphor of a drop merging with the ocean to describe the soul's union with the divine.

The speaker addresses the conference, exploring the themes of self-education and flexible identity. He argues that one must integrate the roles of teacher and learner, awaken self-education within, and move beyond systems that create fixed identities. He advocates for a concept of freedom where others are necessary for one's own liberty, and concludes by referencing Masaru Emoto's water crystal experiments to illustrate the impact of thought and words.

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

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. The latter part focuses on the practice of Sanskrit mantras, described as an "antivirus program" and "brain gymnastic" that brushes away negative thoughts and brings peace, concluding with a collective chant.
