The Universal Embrace of Yoga and Spirituality
0:55 - 1:54 (59 min)
Recorded on
An evening satsang on the universal principles of yoga, karma, and selfless service. "Yoga means unity. Yoga means harmony. Yoga means union. And Yoga also means balance." "Through Sādhana and through Sevā—these two—spirituality grows." Swami Ji from the Sri H. G. Ashram leads a discourse from Vienna, explaining yoga as a scientific path for harmony that connects the individual to the entire cosmos. He teaches that spiritual growth comes from balancing personal practice (Sādhana) with selfless service (Sevā), illustrating this with a story of Pārvatī's sacrifice. The talk covers interconnectedness, compassion, and overcoming the ego, concluding with a meditation. Filming location: Vienna, Austria

Be careful with the self-made Gurus
3:20 - 3:55 (35 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the importance of discernment in seeking a true guru, illustrated with cautionary tales. "Sometimes we just follow people by seeing their work, but not by understanding what they really are doing, and we follow blindly." "It’s very important to find a real Satguru Dev, because nowadays, as we know, it’s Kali Yuga, and in Kali Yuga people are not so nice as they were once upon a time." A speaker addresses a gathering, warning against blind faith in the spiritual search. He emphasizes the necessity of finding a genuine guru from an authentic lineage, contrasting this with self-serving imposters. He shares two parables: one about a blind sadhu whose devotional offering is eaten by a cat, leading to an unexamined ritual tradition, and another about a deceitful, nose-less fake guru who exploits disciples. The core message is to seek clarity, ask questions, and avoid following teachings without understanding. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Bhajan singing. Bhajans are one of the best things in the world. When we sing good words come from our hearts and make other people happy. Sometimes people are happy also when they do bad things. The story of a sadhu and a tree. We should be peaceful and positive so we can go to God. Om Ashram is for the future generation. Half of iva was a woman and the other half was a man.
Outer Situation Reflects The Inner Situation
4:50 - 5:47 (57 min)
Recorded on
Satsang with Swamiji from Wellington, NZ. With the cleanness of our house we can see our inner condition. How we are keeping the ashram or the house in order, with this we can see our love and devotion. We can see if everything is in beauty. It is our inner beauty, the inner pureness, our inner clarity which is reflecting there. Doubts, desires and hidden wishes we did not clean up are spoiling our mind. If we are neglecting our sadhana, our duties, then tamas guna, the laziness takes over. It will grow more and more and we will find every self excuse for our mental pollution. Self enquiry meditation, which is taught in the Yoga in Daily life Yoga classes will help to clear up the question - not who am I but how am I. We have to search within, how is our inner world and how is our inner condition. Translation of the bhajan: Jag musafir dekh vo.

The Primacy of the Name in the Kali Yuga
7:35 - 8:09 (34 min)
Recorded on
A discourse on the nature of the Kali Yuga and the power of the divine name. "Kali Yuga is Kriyā Yuga. Kriyā Yuga means Karma Yuga. Karma is primary." "Kali yuga kevala nāma ādhāra, sumira sumira nara hoi bhava pāra. (In the Kali Yuga, the name alone is the foundation; by repeating, repeating, a person crosses the ocean of existence.)" Swami Maheshwarananda explains that the Kali Yuga is an age dominated by action (karma), but its true foundation is the repetition of God's name, as stated by Tulsidas. He shares a personal memory of his Guru appearing to him at the Strelky ashram and narrates a Puranic story about the sage Vishvamitra to illustrate the supreme value of satsang. The talk emphasizes that diligent spiritual practice (purushartha) is essential, yet liberation comes from anchoring oneself in the divine name. Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

Kundalini: The Serpent Power of Destiny
8:55 - 9:45 (50 min)
Recorded on
A discourse on Kundalini yoga, destiny, and spiritual wisdom. "Kundalini is the Śakti, the power that directs our life. It is the dormant energy within our consciousness, connected to certain physical centers in the body." "Destiny is the product of your own actions. No one is there to be blamed. You are only yourself responsible for your destiny." The lecturer explains the nature of Kundalini as a dormant serpent power and its connection to personal destiny, which is shaped by past karma. He emphasizes the importance of acting with awareness of deśa (place) and kāla (time/circumstances) to achieve harmony and avoid problems. The talk explores the symbolism of the snake as both time/death and spiritual energy, concluding that self-realization frees one from destiny's power. Filming location: Kranj, Slovenia

Yoga - The Path Of Liberation
11:35 - 12:05 (30 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on karma, consciousness, and the path to liberation. "Karma pradhāna hai. Karma is very important. One must not understand karma as negative. Karma is action." "So, what we have to become is a witness, a knower, or an observer... You become a witness of everything." In a morning satsang, The lecturer explains the fundamental nature of karma as all action and process in the universe, distinguishing it from mere negative consequence. He describes the journey from identification with the physical body and worldly attachments to realizing the still, witnessing consciousness (Ātman) that exists beyond the movement of energy (śakti). Using parables and analogies—including driving a car and the story of Dattātreya learning from a woman's bracelets—he elucidates concepts of non-duality, the blessing of divine energy from liberated beings, and the ultimate goal of Self-realization.

Education for Flexible Identities
13:00 - 13:15 (15 min)
Recorded on
A conference presentation on education, identity, and spiritual philosophy. "If you are not able to recognize the guru in yourself, how can you recognize your guru in another person?" "We have to introduce a new... concept: that the other person is not an obstacle but a necessity for me to live my freedom." 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.

How to train our mind?
13:20 - 13:41 (21 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on taming the restless mind using a parable from Gurudeva. "Our mind is chanchal. Chanchal means very restless, and that is normal for a human mind, but you need to learn how to train and tame your mind." "In the same way, our minds are very restless, running around. We should just let it go; that is its job, to roam around and have thoughts continuously. Then, slowly, slowly, train your mind towards Guru Bhakti." A speaker recounts Gurudeva's parable of a king's untamable horse and the patient trainer who tamed it through gentle, persistent companionship and reward. The story serves as an analogy for taming the restless mind through devotion to the Guru and the path of Bhakti, rather than forceful suppression. The session concludes with the guided recitation and explanation of a Sanskrit mantra focused on meditating on the Supreme Self within the heart. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
What is God?
13:45 - 14:43 (58 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the nature of God, human divinity, and traditional wisdom. "A child asks a mother or father, 'What is the horizon? How far is it?' Have you ever reached or gone to the horizon?" "Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said to Arjuna: both are good, Nirākāra and Sākāra, the formless and with form. But he said, for you, Arjuna, it is easier to worship in form." The lecturer explores the concepts of formless (Nirākāra) and personal (Sākāra) divinity, using the analogy of the unreachable horizon. He discusses the path of worship, the significance of divine forms and symbols in Hindu tradition, and the importance of sacred language and human relationships. The talk connects these themes to the science of the cakras, the significance of Vedic rituals like marriage, and the practical application of yoga and speech in daily life. Filming location: USA

The Power of Tapasyā: Pārvatī's Resolve
15:15 - 16:03 (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.
