A speaker addresses the gathering after a Guru Purnima celebration, exploring how the essence of yoga remains constant while adapting across time and place. He shares stories illustrating the Guru's foresight, like predicting currency changes in Croatia, and emphasizes the transformative power of dedicated practice and being physically present in the ashram's energy.

For this much time mentally, you are together. You are with it, and then you also get prasāda... This is a beautiful mānasik pūjā." The lecturer addresses devotees from an ashram in Vienna, explaining the concept and technique of mental worship of one's chosen deity (Iṣṭadevatā). He describes it as a solution to the emptiness that can arise in other forms of meditation, detailing how to mentally perform services like bathing, dressing, and offering food to the divine form. He shares a personal anecdote of his Guruji's disciplined practice and emphasizes that this internal seva cultivates love, dispels negative emotions, and reflects the divine light present in every heart.

A spiritual discourse on the two fundamental forces of the universe, Devīśakti and Āsurīśakti. "Both forces, Devīśakti and Āsurīśakti, exist.

The part of the power, the energy gathered in negative qualities, day by day, will become Āsurīśakti, and the positive forces will become Devīśakti." The speaker explains the cosmic duality of divine and negative powers, both emanating from a single divine source. He describes how an individual's path—toward development or destruction—is influenced by their company (saṅga).
