Never think that you are a Guru
0:25 - 1:08 (43 min)
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.

I have listened to Guru Gītā for more than 40 years, and I must say that every time I hear something new inside."

The talk emphasizes perseverance in one's path, learning from failures, and the critical role of regular satsang and deep, repetitive study of core teachings like the Guru Gītā over seeking novel techniques.

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.

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. He emphasizes the importance of satsaṅga (good company), using the Guru's grace as the ultimate protection and guide.

The speaker reflects on the purity and depth of the knowledge received from the guru lineage, emphasizing the need for slow, respectful study.

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

Reading holy books every day new knowledge comes. The story of an Indian man who issued a newspaper in India and travelled with Viwshwaguruji in Europe. Knowledge takes the human healthy and happy. We should give further the knowledge of our forefathers to our children. The first university was in India. There were very many books but Muslims burnt them. God gives eating everybody in the world.

A satsang on using the world as a mirror for self-awareness and spiritual discipline. "Through that reflection in the mirror—which is what this world means—we are able to correct ourselves." "Everybody says that your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. Whether you will be in heaven or in hell depends only on the quality of your thoughts." Swami Maheshvarananda leads a teaching session, exploring how to observe life without judgment. He explains a directive from Vishva Guruji using a parable of a man mistaking a drowning bear for a blanket, illustrating the need for wise detachment.

A lecture on the integral connection between yoga and spirituality, delivered in Bratislava. "Yoga is that science and that quality which will save humanity.
