A satsang discourse debunking fear-based beliefs around black magic and ghosts through storytelling. "People are very much frightened. They speak of ghosts and such things, and many claim they can take away the black magic which is supposedly on you." "If we believe in God, then believe in God. God will give everything. God will never do anything negative for us." Swami Ji narrates two cautionary tales to illustrate how fear and superstition are exploited. The first story tells of a village magician who manipulates a grieving widow, and the second describes a 'ghost' that turns out to be a moonlit chimney. He emphasizes that true spiritual practice, such as having a Guru Mantra and faith, offers protection, concluding that it is one's own fear, not external forces, that causes suffering.

A lecture on the integral connection between yoga and spirituality, delivered in Bratislava. "Yoga is that science and that quality which will save humanity. Without spirituality, it's like a body without a soul." "Yoga without spirituality is a body without soul. Spirituality is a life of yoga." Swami Madhvānandaji addresses an audience, emphasizing that authentic yoga is a spiritual science of body, mind, and soul, not merely physical exercise. He warns against the commercialization of yoga and explains how the practice purifies both physical and mental impurities (vikāras), using a story about Mahatma Gandhi to illustrate the dangers of greed and false assumption. The talk connects self-purification through āsana, prāṇāyāma, and meditation with universal spiritual unity. Filming location: Bratislava, Slovakia
