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.'"

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.

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

"In this modern world, we cannot survive; we cannot do anything without a Guru. But 'Guru' does not mean only a sādhu or a ṛṣi. It is everything that gives you knowledge: how to drive a car... how to cook." The speaker explains the traditional meaning of Guru Pūrṇimā as the journey from darkness to light. He then expands the definition of 'Guru' to include any source of practical knowledge, using the example of cooking to argue that modern life has lost essential skills.

Guru is Brahma
19:45 - 20:50 (65 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the value of singular focus and devotion to the guru. "If we have, and all of us have, a lot of pictures, we are something like these ten-year-old little guys who try to collect all Pokémons. Our mantra is 'Collect all.'" "Therefore, it is said: 'Dhyāna mūlaṁ guru mūrtiḥ, pūjā mūlaṁ guru padam, mantra mūlaṁ guru vākyaṁ, mokṣa mūlaṁ guru kṛpā.'" The speaker, Swami Vivek Puri, shares reflections from a satsang, emphasizing the spiritual power of focusing on one mantra and one form of the guru. He argues that collecting too many spiritual images dilutes their value and hinders clear visualization at critical moments like death. The talk expands into the profound reverence for the guru's feet (caraṇāmṛta), illustrated with stories from the tradition and the recent awarding of the Yoga Ratna to Vishva Guruji in London.

The lecturer addresses the global gathering, beginning with the significance of Thursday, the day of Jupiter (Bṛhaspati), the Guru of the Devas. He explains the concepts of Janmabhūmi (birthplace), Karmabhūmi (place of work), Dharmabhūmi (land of spiritual duty), and Mokṣabhūmi, emphasizing Earth's unique role for spiritual development. He critiques modern materialism and the misappropriation of spiritual knowledge, urging honest work and protection of spiritual heritage. Through a story of a farmer's evolving perception of his Guru, he illustrates how sincere practice transforms one's vision, leading to the realization of the Guru as the formless, all-pervading Brahman—unmoving, spotless, and beyond duality.
