Good and bad destiny and karma
2:15 - 3:01 (46 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on destiny, karma, and religious tradition, incorporating stories and teachings. "Someone has such a, what we call, good luck, so it comes in your hands... but what you have in yourself, no one can take away. They cannot take your destiny." "Sanātana Dharma is declared as a living religion, and other religions are dead religions. I would not say death, but finished." The lecturer leads an evening satsang, exploring the concept of destiny through the lens of karma and consciousness. He narrates a lengthy, illustrative story about the poet Kalidasa, from shepherd to prince to scholar, to demonstrate destiny's unpredictable nature. The talk expands into a comparative discussion of world religions, asserting the perpetual living tradition of Sanātana Dharma in contrast to others he describes as concluded.

The spiritual family

Recorded on
An opening talk at a spiritual seminar addressing the absence of the guru and the purpose of gathering. "People are always complaining, 'Oh, Kali Yuga is not good, Kali Yuga is a terrible time.' But if you know how to utilize it, Kali Yuga is also excellent." "We need to be like a Paramahaṁsa... We should be like that. In this world, we have so many things... we should be like the Haṁsa: take the pearls, take the milk, and leave the water." A senior disciple addresses the assembled spiritual family at the Vép seminar, acknowledging the physical absence of Viśvagurūjī. He reframes the gathering as a vital opportunity to recharge, strengthen spiritual family bonds, and deepen personal practice. Key themes include extracting the essence from the Kali Yuga, the necessity of a supportive community for sādhanā, and using the seminar for introspection, mauna (silence), and focused practice of āsana and prāṇāyāma to calm the mind.

The Viśuddhi Cakra and the Journey of Consciousness
12:50 - 13:36 (46 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the Viśuddhi (throat) chakra, consciousness, and karma. "According to this philosophy, there is karma, and karma is action. Action is day and night continuing. Everything we do with body and mind, with our emotion and our intellect, is collecting in a particular part of the body." "Therefore, many yoga practitioners are not successful. Either they will learn a little bit from me, a little from the Prema Purī, a little from the Svānāmukī, and then after go to the Dayāmātā. It’s nothing. You are cutting here, here." The teacher explains the Viśuddhi chakra as an energy center affecting body, mind, and consciousness, framing it within the cycle of karma (action and reaction). He discusses higher states of samādhi, using the metaphor of mountain tunnels to warn against fragmented spiritual practice. He narrates the story of the bandit Vālmīki's transformation through mantra repetition to illustrate the purification of karma, and concludes by advising steadfastness on one spiritual path.

A spiritual discourse on the significance of Diwali (Dīpāvalī). "This light is the truth, and we light these lights in everyone's heart. If we forget the sins of people, forgive them, and accept them, it means we light the candle again in their heart." "Therefore, Dīvalī is not only for one day; Dīvalī is every day. When you open your eyes, you get the light, you see the light." The speaker delivers a satsang on the festival of Diwali, explaining its origin in Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya and its deeper spiritual meaning as the inner light of Brahman. The talk explores the symbolism of the oil lamp—comparing the body to the pot, prana to the oil, the self to the wick, and the flame to the atman—and emphasizes themes of forgiveness, love (prem), non-violence (ahiṃsā), and daily spiritual practice. The discourse includes philosophical reflections, mantra chanting, and a critique of ritual animal sacrifice. Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A yoga teacher's discourse on diet, discipline, and modern food adulteration. "Yoga is a practical path. As we always say, someone stated, 'Tons of theory is nothing without a grain of practice.'" "So, we are against nature. And nature takes revenge. What we eat is manipulated." The lecturer addresses yoga teachers and students, emphasizing that instructors must embody the practice to inspire others. He identifies diet as the primary obstacle, detailing the widespread adulteration of modern foods like milk, bread, and dairy with chemicals, animal by-products, and harmful substances. He advocates for minimizing consumption, mastering the sense of taste, and maintaining disciplined practice, illustrated by a story of a disciple who regained health through strict adherence. The talk concludes with a practical challenge to perfect Paścimottānāsana and an encouragement to begin dietary discipline immediately. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

What Incarnation means
20:10 - 21:04 (54 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the nature of the soul, creation, and Śiva. "There is one who is not born from a mother and not from a father. Only that one can be called an incarnation, and that one is called Svayambhū." "We all are one. It doesn't matter, the human or reptilian or the birds or any. There is a soul, jīva. Life, they are all one." The lecturer speaks at the Yogandī Life center in Vienna on the anniversary of Gurudev Swami Madhavānandajī. He contemplates the concept of incarnation, explaining Śiva as the unmanifest Svayambhū who willed multiplicity into being through the five elements. Using the metaphor of the ocean and water cycle, he describes the singular soul within all life forms, discusses karma, and emphasizes the power of speech through a parable about the tongue and teeth.

Recorded on
A spiritual discourse reflecting on divine descent, the guru-disciple relationship, and personal history. "Every soul, when descending from the astral world to this mortal world, must be chosen by some higher hierarchies... You are not elected. You are selected, so such a divine great master comes to this world." "The master is the master, and we are the raw rock. We have to go through all these situations. He will make you position, give you position on the altar, in the temple." Swami Maheshwarananda (Swamiji) speaks intimately about the nature of a Satguru's incarnation, selected by divine will rather than personal karma. He shares the story of his own spiritual calling, describing his first encounter with his Guru, Swami Madhavananda, as a child and his determined journey to enter the ashram. He weaves in teachings on karma yoga, liberation, and the transformative, often arduous process of the disciple under the master's guidance, using the metaphor of a sculptor shaping a raw stone into a sacred statue.

A discourse explaining the spiritual significance of Guru Pūrṇimā. "There are two kinds of explanation about Guru Pūrṇimā. The first is that when, for the first time, the Earth emerged from the water, and the first light of the sun and moon was experienced by this earth... that was Guru Pūrṇimā." "Secondly, Guru Pūrṇimā is generally known and explained as the birthday or incarnation of Bhagavān Vedavyāsa." The speaker, Swami Mādhavānand, elucidates the dual origins of the festival, from a cosmic event to the birth of the sage Vedavyāsa who compiled the Vedas. He emphasizes the indispensable guru principle (guru paramparā), linking it to all teachers and the transmission of wisdom (Śruti and Smṛti). Through anecdotes and teachings, he discusses the qualities of a true guru, the nature of spiritual knowledge, and concludes with the story of Vedavyāsa enlisting Lord Gaṇeśa to write the scriptures.
