How to think of black magic
2:45 - 3:32 (47 min)
Recorded on
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.

Yoga brings you back to Thyself
3:40 - 4:24 (44 min)
Recorded on
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

A spiritual discourse and mantra teaching session on the power of language, respect, and energy. "Spirituality does not mean wholly very slow... But with this different energy inside, just try to be aware of this thing: in which way are we addressing other people?" "You get from an object only as much as you respect it... If your mālā has some value for you, you will keep it in a safe place... Because of that, you will, from your mālā, get energy when you need it." A speaker leads a satsang, emphasizing the profound impact of words, gestures, and intention. He discusses how language shapes reality, using examples from addressing others to serving food and respecting spiritual objects like a mala.

That key, if you look in the right direction without giving up, then we will know that the key is right next to us." The lecturer leads the morning session, explaining how the three yogas are interwoven, using the analogy of marriage to describe moving from knowledge to love to selfless service. He emphasizes the importance of seva (selfless service) and humility, sharing a parable about a businessman's spoiled son who transforms his life through devoted seva.

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.

A satsang discourse on overcoming fear and stress through laughter, authenticity, and spiritual practice. "Never take them seriously. Especially laugh at our own mistakes, problems, and fears."

The teacher shares stories and practical advice for dealing with internal struggles, emphasizing not to suppress fears but to face them with awareness and humor. He recounts the tale of a witch who controlled a village through fear of her rooster, illustrating how confronting false beliefs dispels their power. The talk connects this to daily spiritual practice, advising against empty ritual in favor of authentic feeling, as exemplified in the story of Krishna preferring a banana peel offered with love over a feast offered with pride.
