A devotee shares personal memories of first meeting and hosting her spiritual master, Svāmījī, in Hungary. "We were really lucky that in 1976 we had the chance to go to Czechoslovakia, and we got to know Libuše Pilárová. I saw Svāmījī for the first time on the wall of her home." "Svāmījī went to see this flat and looked around at the mattresses and said, 'This is what I need, this is what I need, this is what I need.' And my ego jumped to the ceiling." The speaker recounts how, after seeing a picture of Svāmījī in Czechoslovakia, she and her companion Kṛṣṇānanda worked to invite him to Hungary. She describes his arrival by train, the humble accommodations in a neighbor's small flat filled with mattresses, and the month-long stay that began their discipleship. She recalls the emotional farewell at the train station and early yoga camps, expressing deep gratitude for the grace of meeting her master. Filming location: Vép, Hungary

An evening satsang on the theory and practice of Trāṭaka, or yogic gazing. "Trāṭaka means gazing on one point. The best object is the flame from a lamp of good ghee from a cow—not from buffaloes, goats, or sheep." "While practicing Trāṭaka, if you practice every day, morning and evening, without interruption for twelve years, you will attain a siddhi... a very pure, very kind, and merciful look in your eyes." Swami Prakashananda Saraswati provides detailed instructions for the cleansing technique of Trāṭaka. He explains suitable objects for gazing, such as a pure ghee flame or a black dot, and warns against using a mirror. He describes the profound benefits, including purification of mind, improved speech, and the awakening of divine energy and intuition, while stressing the necessity of guidance from a properly trained teacher and the use of a Guru Mantra. The talk includes a cautionary story about two monks to illustrate the importance of inner purity and forgiveness. Filming location: Australia
