A satsang discourse on holistic health, Ayurveda, and living harmoniously. "Where there is water, there is God, and where there is God, there is life. Where there is life, there is light, and where there is light, there is good health." "Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health." Swami Maheshwarananda (Swamiji) leads an evening talk, weaving together the arrival of rain, ancient wisdom, and modern life. He explains the Ayurvedic perspective on health as balance, lists sources of happiness like a good partner and neighbor, and offers analogies—like living as a lotus in water or a tongue between teeth—for maintaining detachment and harmony amidst life's challenges. He emphasizes daily yoga practice for all ages as a key to managing stress and well-being. Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

Recorded on
A satsang on the sacred practice of Kriyā and the necessity of the guru's grace. "If I tell them, 'On the day you give up Guru Kṛpā, all sādhanā will be gone,' these people took the Kriyā and after one or two years they were gone." "To become a disciple is not easy, not easy, not easy... we are also on that path of God, supreme, highest, and we are now walking on that path." The lecturer addresses the gathering, emphasizing the gravity of Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna practice and the danger of undertaking it without genuine guru grace. Using metaphors of carrying a flame through a storm and walking a knife's edge, he illustrates the spiritual path's difficulty. He warns against students presuming to teach the technique, comparing it to a nurse performing heart surgery, and stresses that authentic practice comes only through the guru paramparā.

So, when you have Gurudev's kṛpā, then the śiṣya is always in happiness." A Swami leads the gathering, first recounting a parable about a king's secretary whose life is ruined after his chef secretly feeds him meat, illustrating how negative influences (kusaṅga) and food can degrade spirituality.

A spiritual discourse on self-responsibility, awareness, and living in the present. "If you are yogīs, you know that bhajan, constellation of the planet, trauma from childhood, your favorite football team losing—no problem. Weather changing—no problem. Because you are above all this." "Utilize this moment now, because who knows what will be next moment. Try to do everything that you want to do now." The teacher leads a satsang, challenging the audience to abandon excuses for weakness—blaming trauma, astrology, or external circumstances—and to take full responsibility for their lives. He emphasizes that true yoga means cultivating awareness to observe inner impulses before they manifest, thereby gaining control.

Recorded on
A satsang discourse on the importance of sāttvic food, strong digestive fire (agni), and the karmic effects of our actions. "In yoga, it is very important to know cooking. I heard from Viśvagurujī that it will be excellent if we are able to cook for ourselves—not to go to restaurants, not fast food, but to prepare food for yourself." "That is such a great lesson to us, that we, like a Yogī, should have such a kind of digesting fire, that kind of agni, jāṭharāgni, to be able to dissolve everything." Swami Vivek Puri and another speaker lead a satsang, emphasizing the spiritual and practical importance of cooking and consuming sāttvic, vegetarian food prepared with good intent. They explain how strong agni, cultivated through Haṭha Yoga practices like Agniśa Kriyā and Bhastrikā prāṇāyāma, allows one to digest not only food but also negative experiences. Several illustrative stories are shared, including a yogi defeating a demon through his digestive power, a woman whose poisoned food karmically affects her own family, and a thief whose negative intent temporarily influences a guru through offered food. The discourse consistently links diet to mental state, karma, and safe spiritual practice within the Yoga in Daily Life system. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Therefore, what we are doing, pūjā, prārthanā, so Father, first, what is a mother? One God comes." The speaker delivers a satsang, weaving together themes of non-duality, using the metaphor of a drop merging with the ocean to describe the soul's union with the divine. He discusses the human birth, the role of parents and gurus, the cyclical nature of existence, and advocates for compassion towards all beings, concluding with an anecdote about providing water for ants.

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.
