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.

All creatures feel the same feelings as humans. Don't be the cause of pain to any creature. Animals can make mistakes but we are human. The first god is the mother. Where there is water, there is God. Respect the vegetation and the rain. First happiness is good health. Saints are here for the sake of all creatures - but you will liberate yourself.

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.

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.

Swamiji explains the foundational concept of mantra as a spiritual seed that branches into various yoga paths like kīrtan, bhajan, and bhakti.

A spiritual discourse on perseverance, self-knowledge, and the inner faculties. "It is not easy for anyone to remain steadfast on one path. This is true for everybody; it doesn't matter who you are. But when one has a single target, one can achieve it." "He learned a lesson: if the ant cannot give up, why should I give up my sādhanā? I am sure one day I will achieve my goal. I may fall down many times, but I will get up again." The speaker shares a parable about an ant persevering to carry a grain of rice, using it to illustrate the necessity of steadfastness on the spiritual path. He expands into an extended metaphor of the body as a coach, with the ten indriyas (faculties) as horses and the Ātmā as the king within.
