The Practice and Power of Trāṭaka
0:00 - 0:52 (52 min)
Recorded on
An evening satsang on the theory and practice of Trāṭaka, or yogic gazing. "Trāṭaka means gazing on one point. The best object is the flame from a lamp of good ghee from a cow—not from buffaloes, goats, or sheep." "While practicing Trāṭaka, if you practice every day, morning and evening, without interruption for twelve years, you will attain a siddhi... a very pure, very kind, and merciful look in your eyes." Swami Prakashananda Saraswati provides detailed instructions for the cleansing technique of Trāṭaka. He explains suitable objects for gazing, such as a pure ghee flame or a black dot, and warns against using a mirror. He describes the profound benefits, including purification of mind, improved speech, and the awakening of divine energy and intuition, while stressing the necessity of guidance from a properly trained teacher and the use of a Guru Mantra. The talk includes a cautionary story about two monks to illustrate the importance of inner purity and forgiveness. Filming location: Australia

"Give your body and mind to Sāddhā Gurudeva, and he will destroy all your doubts and all your bad qualities. In the holy lotus feet of Satguru Deva reside all holy pilgrimages." The speaker introduces a lesser-sung bhajan by Swāmī Lālā Nānjī, emphasizing the urgency of spiritual practice in human life.

The lecturer addresses a global audience, contrasting superficial modern yoga with the deep, enduring practice of true tapasyā (austerity). He discusses the rarity of human birth, the cycle of karma, and the need to cultivate qualities that lead to light, using examples from scripture, anecdotes of ancient sādhus, and everyday situations to illustrate the principles of endurance, forgiveness, and connecting to cosmic energy.

And then, at one point, something happened. They call it resonance." Multiple disciples from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Hungary address Swāmījī (Viśvagurujī), recounting their first encounters with him and the Yoga in Daily Life system, often during the political changes of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

A spiritual discourse exploring the nature of mental habits (vṛtti) and the soul's (ātmā) oneness with the divine. "Vṛtti is what you are doing. You have good food to eat.

Now, if this drop falls into the ocean, then this Jīva becomes Shiva."

"Puruṣārtha is hard work, hard work to achieve something positive. And for that, you cannot do it in one year, two years, three years, or four years. It’s years and years and years." A spiritual teacher delivers a satsang in Vienna, explaining the interplay between consciousness (Puruṣa) and nature (Prakṛti). He details the four human goals (Puruṣārthas)—Dharma, Artha, Kāma, Mokṣa—and the four corresponding life stages (Āśramas): Brahmacarya (student), Gṛhastha (householder), Vānaprastha (retirement), and Sannyāsa (renunciation).
