We need Gurudev
1:55 - 2:49 (54 min)
Recorded on
A satsang discourse on the necessity of the guru and the goal of Advaita philosophy. "The moment you begin to think you have already heard and know everything, in that moment your free fall begins." "Understand from this that the guru is not the physical body. It is most important to understand that the guru is that Guru-Tattva, the element of the guru." A speaker leads a satsang, emphasizing the eternal student's attitude and the critical role of the embodied spiritual master (Guru-Tattva) as the essential guide. Using stories and analogies—such as the matchbox with a diamond, the friend with a boat, and the river merging into the ocean—the talk explains the guru's function and explores the ultimate goal of yoga: to transcend the cycle of rebirth and realize the Advaita (non-dual) union of the individual self with the cosmic Self.

How does Guru teach us?

Recorded on
A morning satsang on spiritual discipline, human evolution, and devotion to the guru. "Start the morning with one thought: 'I am a human.'" "If you dig in one place, even if you find a big rock, you will come to water. But if you dig in seven different places every day, in the end you are completely confused." A speaker addresses the assembly, emphasizing the importance of beginning the day with the conscious affirmation of one's humanity. He shares several teaching stories from Vishwaguruji, including a parable about seeing people's true nature through a peacock feather and an allegory about the need for persistence on a single spiritual path. The talk covers themes of non-violence (ahimsa), purifying human qualities, cutting the chain of karma through faith in the guru, and the foundational work required in spiritual life. He also recounts the early struggles of Gurudev (Vishwaguruji) spreading teachings in the West and announces the upcoming Kumbh Mela. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

5:45 - 6:39 (54 min)
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

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. Little more information about the first university in the world was in India.

Never think that you are a Guru

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." Swami Avatarpuri 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.

A New Year's reflection on human concepts, oneness, and inner peace. "Where is the new year? The same sun, moon, and clouds remain, but humans try to make something again, to feel 'I am new.'" "And when that oneness is realized, then there is nowhere to say 'this' or 'that.'... Everything is in our mental constructs." Swami Madhavanandaji leads a satsang, questioning the human-made nature of the New Year and other divisions. He reflects on the eternal earth, the illusion of separation, and the conflicts between religions and individuals, urging everyone to realize fundamental oneness, be happy, and avoid making others angry. He uses metaphors like the ocean's surface versus its depths and concludes with travel plans for pilgrimage. Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A spiritual discourse exploring the concept of kiśmat (fate/luck) and the value of satsaṅg (spiritual gathering). "Kiśmat is more like a Muslim word, but it is very nice, very good... Kismet is so vast you cannot think." "In satsaṅg, they had one guru... Satsaṅg is like this. And ku-saṅg is many things: drinking, going, cleaning, mind." The speaker delivers an informal talk, weaving together observations on prayer across religions, anecdotes about marriage and village life, and a parable about two boys—one who attends a cinema and one who attends satsaṅg—to illustrate the subtle and protective nature of divine fortune (kiśmat). He emphasizes that true good fortune is aligned with spiritual company and devotion, not merely material gain. 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.
