A discourse on the essence of Guru Pūrṇimā and the guru-disciple tradition. "Gurur Brahmā, Gurur Viṣṇu, Gurur Devo Maheśvara, Gurur Sākṣāt Parabrahmā." "A true Satguru will not say, 'I am the Satguru.' The day a Satguru says that, it means he does not truly know." The lecturer addresses a global audience on the full moon day of Guru Pūrṇimā. He explores the profound meaning of the guru, explaining how the principle of the teacher exists in many forms before describing the supreme Satguru. He shares personal instructions from his own guru, Holī Gurujī, about the duty to serve all, and discusses the life of a sannyāsī, the guru paramparā (lineage), and the symbolism of the full moon.

An evening satsang on the theory and practice of Trāṭaka, or yogic gazing. "Trāṭaka means gazing on one point. The best object is the flame from a lamp of good ghee from a cow—not from buffaloes, goats, or sheep." "While practicing Trāṭaka, if you practice every day, morning and evening, without interruption for twelve years, you will attain a siddhi... a very pure, very kind, and merciful look in your eyes." Swami Prakashananda Saraswati provides detailed instructions for the cleansing technique of Trāṭaka. He explains suitable objects for gazing, such as a pure ghee flame or a black dot, and warns against using a mirror. He describes the profound benefits, including purification of mind, improved speech, and the awakening of divine energy and intuition, while stressing the necessity of guidance from a properly trained teacher and the use of a Guru Mantra. The talk includes a cautionary story about two monks to illustrate the importance of inner purity and forgiveness. Filming location: Australia

A spiritual discourse reflecting on divine descent, the guru-disciple relationship, and personal history. "Every soul, when descending from the astral world to this mortal world, must be chosen by some higher hierarchies... You are not elected. You are selected, so such a divine great master comes to this world." "The master is the master, and we are the raw rock. We have to go through all these situations. He will make you position, give you position on the altar, in the temple." Swami Maheshwarananda (Swamiji) speaks intimately about the nature of a Satguru's incarnation, selected by divine will rather than personal karma. He shares the story of his own spiritual calling, describing his first encounter with his Guru, Swami Madhavananda, as a child and his determined journey to enter the ashram. He weaves in teachings on karma yoga, liberation, and the transformative, often arduous process of the disciple under the master's guidance, using the metaphor of a sculptor shaping a raw stone into a sacred statue.

A spiritual discourse on dharma, sādhanā, and the essence of scripture. "Dharma means rightness—the dharma of humans, animals, nature, seasons, husband, wife, children, friends, and neighbors. It is not about worshipping separate gods." "The essence of all these scriptures is contained in just two words: 'Śuk diyā śuk hot hai, aur duk diyā duk hoī.' If you give pleasure to others, you will receive pleasure. If you give trouble to others, you will receive trouble." Swami Satyāśāntānanda delivers a teaching, contrasting superficial yoga techniques with the higher path of sādhanā. He defines true dharma as universal righteousness beyond religious division, emphasizing satsaṅg and the study of saints' lives. Using parables and references to historical figures—from Jesus and Guru Gobind Singh's sons to a self-sacrificing ṛṣi—he illustrates the power of commitment to dharma and the inner study of the self (svādhyāya).

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.
