The Sun Shines in the Kingdom of God: On Habit, Mind, and the Kośas
4:30 - 5:21 (51 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the five sheaths (kośas), habit, and the nature of the mind. "Whatever kind of habit you have, after a while, that will become your nature." "The mind is the reflection. Or in the pond, in the water pond, very nice, clean, and very still water. You look, and your face is inside. But it's only a reflection." The lecturer leads a morning satsang, exploring how habits become second nature, using a parable of a man and a bear to illustrate addiction. He explains the five kośas, focusing on the elusive manomaya kośa (mind sheath), describing it as a reflective layer governing the senses and storing impressions. The talk covers purification through prāṇāyāma, the trap of attachment (mamatā), and the importance of selfless giving. Filming location: Alexandria, USA
The basics of ancient Indian philosophy
5:25 - 5:35 (10 min)
Recorded on
A guest lecture on Sanātana Dharma, Āyurveda, and the nature of wisdom versus science. "Science is something that you discover. Science is where you discover wisdom; you don't discover this." "So my question to my family this evening is that: what is that change? Because this is a dead organ. It's transplanted into a man or a woman who is alive. So why do the habits of this person change?" Mr. Amasinghe, an Āyurveda specialist and devotee, addresses the gathering. He argues that Yoga and Āyurveda constitute a timeless wisdom, not a discoverable science, and laments the loss of historical evidence due to invasions. Using the analogy of an object that cannot be wet or burned, he points to the eternal Self (ātmā). He then discusses reported personality changes in organ transplant recipients, proposing an explanation based on the retention of a secondary prāṇa (dhānyamaya) in donated organs and the traditional necessity of cremation to release the final life force.

He shares teachings from his Gurudeva, using the metaphor of a pure drop of water (pū) to describe the soul's yearning for divine purity over worldly abundance, and calls for inner cleanliness and the declaration of the pure "I am."
