A satsang featuring spiritual stories and teachings on renunciation, ego, and the pitfalls on the spiritual path.

The first tells of King Gopichand, who renounces his kingdom at his mother's request and learns the true meaning of his mother's three advices for monastic life. The second, a cautionary tale, describes a powerful muni whose intense tapasya is destroyed by rising ego and desire, ultimately exploited by Kamadeva.

Yoga is a science
10:20 - 11:39 (79 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual lecture on Kuṇḍalinī, chakras, and the purpose of human life. "Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. Yoga without spirituality is like a body without a soul." "Chakra is that which is purifying our body, mind, and consciousness. Chakra has to be purified through practice of mantra, prayers, or some yogic kriyās. Then the kuṇḍalinī will awake." The teacher continues a multi-day seminar, delving into the nature of human consciousness through the lens of Kuṇḍalinī energy and the chakra system. He explains the five layers of the body (kośas), the persistence of karma using an analogy of salt in water, and the symbolism of the Mūlādhāra chakra—its red color, lotus imagery, and four petals representing the four aims of life: dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa. The discourse expands into themes of universal love, friendship, and living in the world with detachment, like a lotus in water. Filming location: Australia

The speaker, addressing an audience including Vishwa Guruji, explains how modern lifestyles cause stress and disease, contrasting this with the integrated approach of the Yoga in Daily Life system. He details how specific yoga practices—like meditation, prāṇāyāma, and āsanas—scientifically support health by influencing the brain's cortical and subcortical levels and peripheral organs.

A narration of the mythological story of Nārada's curse upon Lord Viṣṇu, followed by a discourse on its spiritual meaning. "You made me a monkey, and I tell you, when you will be in great trouble, only the monkey will help you, nobody else." "The merciful Lord said, 'Nārada, that was all My icchā. It was My will.'" The speaker recounts how the sage Nārada, enraged after being tricked by Viṣṇu's illusion (māyā), confronts the Lord to curse Him. In his anger, Nārada pronounces a curse that Viṣṇu will incarnate as Rāma, suffer separation from His wife, and be aided by monkeys. Viṣṇu accepts the curse, explaining it was His own divine will, and later dissolves the illusion. A remorseful Nārada seeks forgiveness, and Viṣṇu promises to give him a liberating Kriyā. The talk includes a tangential account of the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan) to illustrate Nārada's accusations. Filming location: Vép, Hungary
