Atma is spotless
0:10 - 0:56 (46 min)
One word transmits a message to all, like rain falling equally on every creature. In difficulty, know you are carried by God, not abandoned. A true yogi, beyond all ritual, desires nothing, not even from Shiva. The soul is spotless, like the endless sky. Our body is a temporary shell; the eternal Ātmā within is one with the Guru's heart. Purification is for the mind, but the soul itself is already pure.
"When the difficult time comes, then you should know that you are now with God."
"Ask anything. He said, 'Okay, if you want to ask me anything, then get up.' What he said to Shiva, 'Go from here.'"

We have to become one
2:20 - 3:54 (94 min)
The subject is detachment and the true Self. The soul seeks to merge into oneness with the Supreme, like space containing all things. This unity is eternal but difficult, as it requires releasing all attachment. Attachment to wealth, body, and relationships creates conditions and suffering. Renunciation is challenging. One must break attachment to join with God. Nothing belongs to you—not body, thoughts, or intellect. Only the soul is eternal. When the soul departs, no one accompanies it. We must move beyond duality and concepts of "mine" to realize the true Self as boundless consciousness. This is not a mental understanding but a state of being.
"I am neither the mind, intellect, nor the elements. I am that eternal blissful consciousness."
"There is only one God. The duality we perceive is a human creation."

Guru is eternal
5:15 - 5:57 (42 min)
The Guru principle is eternal, transcending the cyclical divine play of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. These deities change and serve each other across ages, but the Guru's seat, the Gāḍī, remains. This seat is not the individual but the eternal principle they temporarily represent. Humans originate from the Saptaṛṣis, creating lineages of saṃskāra, not hierarchy. Our spiritual practice seeks the answer to "Who am I?" within this eternal shelter. The physical lineage continues through specific seats and disciples.
"Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva will change, but the Guru will remain."
"One should not sit on that chair... that Gāḍī will take that one."

Raksha Bandhan
6:00 - 6:12 (12 min)
Rakṣā Bandhan celebrates a sacred bond of protection and love. This full moon marks a beautiful reunion beyond physical ties. The bond signifies spiritual brotherhood and sisterhood, inviting blessings into life. It cultivates gratitude and care, standing as an emotional and spiritual connection. The story of Draupadī and Kṛṣṇa illustrates this protective promise. Another tale tells of a queen who sent a rakṣī to an invoker, transforming conflict into protection. In Dharma, all are one family; the thread may break, but the bond of love and support endures. This occasion is for honoring that pure relationship.
"From today onwards, I will always be there whenever you need me to protect you."
"The thread may break, but the bond of love, support, gratitude, and protection never breaks."

Listen to only ourselves and our Gurudev
6:15 - 6:55 (40 min)
A true holiday is for inner contemplation, not external distraction. Ancient seekers valued solitude to reflect on life and meditate. Modern holidays often involve noise and escapism, which drown the inner voice. Spiritual progress requires revitalizing the mind through satsang and the Guru's presence. This gathering is an opportunity for solitary reflection amidst community. Utilize this time to recharge spiritual energy and leave worldly concerns behind. Unity with spiritual family provides essential support in this age.
"To progress in spirituality, we need inner evolution. The only way for that is to be in satsang, to have darśan with a self-realized person, a Guru, and to be in peace."
"If we want to quit a bad habit, we need a support group and must be that support for each other."

The health of the bones
7:00 - 7:52 (52 min)
Holy water is a gift of purification for all occasions, representing positive thought and clean energy. Physical and mental dust are constant, requiring regular cleansing like washing the hands. The body's skin is a sensitive, self-cleaning organ that must be cared for naturally. Avoid artificial products like commercial creams, lipsticks, and soaps containing alcohol, which dry and damage the skin. Use pure water, natural oils, butter, or earth instead. The physical body, the annamaya kośa, is sustained by vegetarian food and simple daily practices. Yoga āsanas and prāṇāyāma are essential for health, focusing on gentle movement over extreme postures. Strengthen bones with natural oils and ghee, not through meat consumption. Practice simple exercises regularly, even for seconds at a time, to maintain the body. True care comes from natural substances and consistent, moderate practice.
"Give this to all your friends and everybody for Christmas."
"Holy means the clean and have a good energy."

Yoga, Āyurveda, and the Journey Beyond: From Vikāra to Turīya
8:00 - 8:55 (55 min)
Yoga and Āyurveda address disease, or vikāra, in the physical and mental realms. Physical vikāra arises from disregarding natural harmony in diet and living. Mental vikāra manifests as the six afflictions: desire, anger, attachment, greed, pride, and ego. These lead to cintā, or chronic worry, which consumes one from within like a termite hollowing a tree. The remedy is to renounce attachment to what is lost and to practice svādhyāya, the study of one's own unfulfilled chapters. Meditation relieves this tension by revealing the unreality of persistent worry. Deeper practice involves mastering the three states of consciousness—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—through Yoga Nidrā. This conscious sleep purifies the subconscious, resolves latent conflicts, and can recharge energy. Mastery leads to the fourth state, chaitanya, a wakeful consciousness that perceives past, present, and future.
"Vikāra is something which is destroying itself, like when fruit is lying a long time and is rotten."
"The root of righteousness is mercy."

Respect is important
9:00 - 9:53 (53 min)
The power of language and respect shapes spiritual life. Words carry energy, influencing our inner state and relationships. A story illustrates this: a man feared the yoga pose called Śavāsana, the corpse pose. After this, the name was changed to Ānandāsana, the bliss pose, to remove fear. How we speak is crucial. We do not "take" a mantra; we may "get" it as a sacred gift, which changes our entire attitude. Modern communication often loses depth and respect, using abbreviated or vulgar language absorbed from media. This influences us subconsciously and must be guarded against. Addressing others with respectful titles, like "Devī" for a woman, cultivates different inner feelings. The manner of giving, even food, carries energy; offering with the right hand and respect changes the offering's quality. Respect extends to spiritual objects; keeping a mālā in a clean, valued place allows it to retain its energy. Physical posture also matters; sitting like a king or giving like a beggar changes the inner experience. Pronunciation in mantra is vital, as a single sound can change a word's entire meaning.
"Your entire spiritual path becomes different. Yes, just try to think about this: it is a completely different approach."
"If we are not aware, this will come subconsciously inside. We need to put a firewall in front of us, not to allow such thoughts and such language to become common to us."

Don't kill Animals!
10:00 - 10:58 (58 min)
Disease arises from internalizing life's pressures, not from external forces themselves. This internal stress creates bodily pressure, a primary cause of illness. Inherited conditions also exist. The path of yoga integrates simple postures, breath control, and meditation into daily life, alongside dietary and sleep adjustments.
Meditation must be approached correctly. Never strain the eyes upward, as this causes psychic problems and blocks progress. Focus gently downward or on the tip of the nose. True guidance comes from a living tradition, not solely from books. Many established religions have become blocked, relying on scripture without the living presence of the divine. The divine is within each being; every creature possesses a soul.
The supreme principle is non-violence. Harming other living beings, including animals, creates suffering and negative consequences. Liberation requires aligning with this truth through compassionate living and correct inner practice.
"Slowly, this internal pressure becomes the cause of many, many diseases."
"Therefore, the meditation is called Nāsik, focusing on the tip of the nose. Our eyes should look gently downward."

The spiritual family
11:05 - 11:56 (51 min)
The quality of our era is determined by our inner state. While some lament this age, it offers unique tools like rapid travel and distant connection. The key is to extract only the nourishing essence from the vast information, like the swan separating milk from water. Our experience of time depends on our inner qualities. This gathering is a timeout to calm our inner dialogue, not to escape life but to gain clarity before re-engaging. We require the support of our spiritual family for strength. Utilize this time for serious practice, particularly prāṇāyāma to settle the agitated mind and prāṇa. Calm the body through deliberate movement to quiet mental disturbances. Simplify your environment and focus intently, avoiding distractions like constant drinking which disrupts inner fire and focus. Move from mere belief to direct understanding.
"Take the pearls, take the milk, and leave the water."
"Our meditation and practice are not about running away but about taking a timeout before returning to the game."

Raksha Bandhan is a promise we made to ourselves and others
14:30 - 14:45 (15 min)
Rakṣā Bandhan is a universal bond and an inward vow. The thread is a yearly reminder. Promises made are not only between siblings. The vow is to protect the mind from negativity, the tongue from harsh words, and actions from adharma. Humans are drawn toward adharma, like lying or stealing. The knot is tied tightly so the inner vow does not slip. This bond extends to the Guru, friends, and oneself. It is a promise to guard against ego and jealousy. When a promise of protection is given, one must act, not just pray. This day mends conflicts and preserves tradition for future generations. It affirms a mutual bond of protection and guidance.
"Helping hands are better than folded hands."
"Gurudev, I am yours, you are mine. I am in your heart, and you are in my heart."

Make a clear decision
14:30 - 15:12 (42 min)
Inner resolve and disciplined practice manifest our deepest intentions through divine grace.
Positive wishes and thoughts will materialize. Negative thoughts may arise but do not prevail. Success requires firm resolve and unwavering discipline, without counting time. This principle applies to spiritual growth, health, and all endeavors. A resolve, once set, must be released to divine will. Through steady practice, what is desired is realized. Yoga is now global, integrated into daily life for nourishment and balance. Authentic practice is not mere physical movement; it harmonizes body, breath, and mind. Correct posture, breath control, and proper relaxation are essential. Impatience undermines progress. True yoga is a spiritual system, not a commercial commodity. Its authentic essence must be preserved and practiced with sincerity.
"Positive wishes and positive thoughts will manifest."
"Yoga is a part of our nourishment; it is spiritual food."

Learn to renounce
15:15 - 16:03 (48 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. As time is passing we are getting old and feeling inside threatened by this situation, it is not easy to retire. Some people are afraid about the death, or about the way how one will die. We can’t avoid this, but it can be very nice. For that we have to change our thoughts and learn to renounce, but not from the good things like freedom, happiness.
How to train our mind?
16:05 - 16:26 (21 min)
The mind is restless and must be tamed. A king had a horse no one could ride. Many trainers failed by forcing it. A wise trainer did not force it. He simply followed the horse everywhere, building association. He let the horse come to him. Then he rewarded it with grass and slowly introduced a blanket. Eventually, he gently climbed on while petting it. The horse accepted him. The training took over a year through patient trust.
Our mind is like that horse. Let it run; that is its nature. Do not force it. Slowly train it towards devotion. When it calms, it will return. Grace makes this training possible.
"The trainer was different. He took the horse and simply let it be."
"Slowly, slowly, train your mind towards Guru Bhakti."

Singing bhajans by Swami Gajanandji
16:30 - 17:07 (37 min)
Devotion is the direct expression of the heart's longing for the divine. The song is an offering, a plea for refuge in the guru, who is the true shelter. Through repetitive chanting and praise, the individual consciousness seeks to dissolve. The devotee acknowledges personal incapacity for rigorous practice, surrendering entirely to grace. Worldly attachments and the snares of illusion are recognized as binding. The sole request is for the guru's compassionate hand to provide crossing. Liberation is described as the burning away of latent impressions and the cessation of identification with elemental principles. The act of singing itself becomes the transformative path.
"O Swāmījī, you live within, you live in my heart."
"Japa tapa na hove mujhase, yahī Prabhu ārajāhe."

The seeker questions the divine veil that obscures the true name and presence. A direct plea is made, asking why this separation is maintained when the longing is so intense. The seeker states they see yet do not truly see, perceiving the form but not the essence. The name itself is questioned as being used as a veil. The discourse then turns to praise, acknowledging the inner dweller within all beings and the true Self that is the object of meditation. The work of the divine is noted as occurring through fundamental steps and elements.
"Why do you keep a veil from me?"
"I can’t see you. Even if I see you, I see you, but I don’t see you."

Inner awakening: be with the dharma
22:50 - 23:37 (47 min)
The inner awakening reveals the hidden powers within consciousness.
The creator fashioned 8.4 million beings, each entering through distinct gateways like sweat, womb, or egg. The individual soul travels through limitless space, entering our solar system to become a citizen of Earth, taking birth according to its karma in forms from bacteria to humans. From the perspective of the Ātmā, the divine light, all are one—it is unbreakable, everlasting, formless, and spotless. The individual soul, or Jīvātmā, is a mixture of this Ātmā and the non-self. Duality exists only when identified with the individual form. In human form, this Jīvātmā is shaped by karma. Performing good deeds makes one a dharmātmā, a soul of righteousness, where sin is overshadowed. Committing wrongs makes one a pāpātmā, a sinner destined for suffering. Both heaven and hell are experienced on this Earth according to one's actions. Humans possess the mighty tool of intellect, given for protection, yet it is often used for destruction. The essential power is divine love, without which nothing spiritual is attained.
"One in all and all in one. That is the reflection of that Ātmā."
"Lord, God doesn't come without love. You can try a thousand things, but God will not come without love."
