A spiritual discourse exploring the concept of kiśmat (fate/luck) and the value of satsaṅg (spiritual gathering). "Kiśmat is more like a Muslim word, but it is very nice, very good... Kismet is so vast you cannot think." "In satsaṅg, they had one guru... Satsaṅg is like this. And ku-saṅg is many things: drinking, going, cleaning, mind." The speaker delivers an informal talk, weaving together observations on prayer across religions, anecdotes about marriage and village life, and a parable about two boys—one who attends a cinema and one who attends satsaṅg—to illustrate the subtle and protective nature of divine fortune (kiśmat). He emphasizes that true good fortune is aligned with spiritual company and devotion, not merely material gain. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Our heart is very great

A satsang discourse on the universal sound of Om and the spiritual practice of surrender. "In India, a name changes with region. In North India, you have Rāma. In Middle India, it becomes Rāma. In South India, it becomes Rāmaṇ." "The easiest option is to let go, put it down, and allow the mind to become peaceful. The happiest thing is simply to let it be, to release it calmly and let it flow." A speaker first explains the universality of Om, linking it to the words 'Amen' and 'Amin', and discusses his work promoting Indian traditional sciences in European parliaments. Swami Maheshvaranand then shares a teaching story about a restless monkey to illustrate how surrendering thoughts leads to peace, emphasizing meditation and devotion to the Guru.

Monday is the day of Bhagwan Shiva
3:15 - 4:05 (50 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the significance of Monday and the discipline of fasting. "We worship Śiva on Monday. We call it Somavāra. When Monday coincides with the new moon after Pūrṇimā, it is considered a very auspicious constellation for the coming new year, heralding better times." "Your economy will be better, yes? You will not buy fruits, bread, drinks, or anything. So three times a week, our economy will be good. See how much money you save nicely in one year." A teacher addresses a gathering, explaining the astrological and spiritual importance of Monday (Somavāra) as a day dedicated to Lord Śiva and an auspicious time for fasting. He critiques the modern loss of religious discipline, comparing Hindu and Christian practices with the strict fasting observed in Islam. The talk blends spiritual reasoning with practical health and economic benefits, urging attendees, especially Kriyā Yoga practitioners, to adopt the discipline of fasting on Mondays.

We need Gurudev
5:00 - 5:54 (54 min)
Recorded on
A satsang discourse on the necessity of the guru and the goal of Advaita philosophy. "The moment you begin to think you have already heard and know everything, in that moment your free fall begins." "Understand from this that the guru is not the physical body. It is most important to understand that the guru is that Guru-Tattva, the element of the guru." A speaker leads a satsang, emphasizing the eternal student's attitude and the critical role of the embodied spiritual master (Guru-Tattva) as the essential guide. Using stories and analogies—such as the matchbox with a diamond, the friend with a boat, and the river merging into the ocean—the talk explains the guru's function and explores the ultimate goal of yoga: to transcend the cycle of rebirth and realize the Advaita (non-dual) union of the individual self with the cosmic Self.

Body liberation and moksha
6:00 - 7:02 (62 min)
Recorded on
A satsang discourse on transcending body-mind duality through the five sheaths. "Body and mind have no sense in it. And if you are saying body and mind, then both are wrong." "We have to go: annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, manomaya kośa, vijñānamaya kośa, and ānandamaya kośa. Then we are only outside; it is in the body, but it is sending somewhere in different ways." He argues that true yogic science requires progressing through the five koshas (sheaths) toward Anandamaya kosha and liberation, moving beyond the confusing duality of body and mind.

Recorded on
A New Year's reflection on human concepts, oneness, and inner peace. "Where is the new year? The same sun, moon, and clouds remain, but humans try to make something again, to feel 'I am new.'" "And when that oneness is realized, then there is nowhere to say 'this' or 'that.'... Everything is in our mental constructs." The lecturer leads a satsang, questioning the human-made nature of the New Year and other divisions. He reflects on the eternal earth, the illusion of separation, and the conflicts between religions and individuals, urging everyone to realize fundamental oneness, be happy, and avoid making others angry. He uses metaphors like the ocean's surface versus its depths and concludes with travel plans for pilgrimage. Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A spiritual discourse exploring the mantra "Hari Om" and sharing Puranic stories. "Hari is the name of Bhagavān Viṣṇu. And Om, Om is Hari." "72,000 years of sādhanā and one minute of satsaṅg... For one minute of satsaṅg, the whole earth raised up, and when it was 72,000 sādhanās, that was not moving." The lecturer explains the divine essence of the "Hari Om" mantra, linking it to Vishnu and the primal sound of creation. He narrates the Puranic story of the earth's origin and the serpent Sheshanaga who supports it. The central teaching is conveyed through a parable where the sage Vishvamitra learns that one minute of true satsang (spiritual gathering) outweighs 72,000 years of solitary penance, highlighting the supreme power of devotion and community. The talk concludes with ethical exhortations for spiritual practice. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Power of Tapasyā: Pārvatī's Resolve
13:15 - 14:03 (48 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse narrating the story of Pārvatī's resolve to perform tapasyā (austerity) and explaining its power. "Tapasya is the giver of happiness and the remover of all troubles." "Through the power of tapasyā, Brahmā is able to create this world. Through the power of that tapasyā... Viṣṇu is able to protect the world. And through that power of tapasyā, Śiva, is able to destroy all the negative powers." The speaker recounts how Pārvatī, consoling her mother Mēnā, describes a dream in which a Brāhmaṇa instructs her to undertake severe spiritual austerity, affirming the truth of sage Nārada's words. The narrative details the immense power of tapasyā, using the examples of the Hindu trinity and Śeṣanāga, and describes Pārvatī's subsequent journey into the forest for a prolonged, extreme penance to attain Lord Śiva. The discourse frequently shifts to address a modern audience directly, exhorting them to cultivate similar willpower in their own sādhanā (practice) to overcome mental obstacles and attachments.

A satsang discourse on the roots of ill health and the supreme value of spiritual community. "98% of us do not live healthily. So what shall we expect? Our body is suffering. Our mind is suffering." "Lucky are those who can come to satsaṅg. And unlucky are those who cannot come. Satsaṅg is so pleasant." The lecturer addresses the gathering, analyzing modern causes of disease from artificial food and polluted water to the manipulation of animals and crops. He stresses the need for disciplined control of the senses, particularly taste. The discourse culminates in a lengthy parable about the ṛṣis Viśvāmitra and Vasiṣṭha, illustrating through a divine test that the blessings of one minute in satsang are more powerful than 62,000 years of solitary tapasyā (austerities).
