In Memory of His Holines Hindu Dharmasamrat Paramhansa Swami Madhavananda Puri.

A discourse on the Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna discipline and mastering the senses. "You are lucky to be able to practice it. Firstly, it develops your spirituality, bringing peace and balance to body and mind." "Patañjali said, 'Atha yoga anuśāsanam'—the discipline. Out of a hundred people, perhaps thirty percent will be successful." The lecturer addresses practitioners, detailing the rigorous three-month Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna involving silence, isolation, and specific dietary rules. He explains that the current practice is a reduced version, emphasizing the need for bodily control (kāya-sthairya) and discipline over the ten indriyas (senses), which he metaphorically describes as horses pulling the chariot of the body. He discusses obstacles like vāsanā (latent desires), shares personal anecdotes about sensory perception, and concludes by encouraging focused practice for the remaining days of the program.

There are many different constellations. The Moon has a strong effect on nature. Sometimes, if someone goes on the wrong way it can influence others. We have to practice pranayama systematically. The master of the mind is the Moon; the principle of the Moon is water and water means movement. It is balancing our whole body.

Guru Lilā, addressing the community, explains the four aspects of kripa: Deva Kripa (grace of the gods), Śāstra Kripa (grace of the scriptures), Guru Kripa (the Guru's grace), and Kuṭkī Kripa (self-grace).

Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. We always worry about death. Death is a universal law. Our mind is always restless. We can train it by mantra. Manas is the storehouse of memories. Yogis are not attached to things. Only the bond between the disciple and the Guru is permanent. The story of a man who planned that when Yama came, he would hide somewhere. We should meditate always not only when we are in trouble. We should remember God every day, at least a little bit. Unfortunately present Indian generation is beginning to forget their roots. Birth and death come and go, but remember the name of God.

Satsang from Yoga Center in Prague on 1st December 2008.

Evening satsang from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. We should begin everything at the basis. Climbing up is hard, but the goal is beautiful. To give up is easy, but not a solution. Good and bad things follow each other in our lives. We are full of expectations. There should be mutual understanding between partners. We listen many times the same story to understand more and more. We can reach peace if we are contented. At firsz we should accept ourselves and than we can accept other people. Go forward on the way Gurudev is inside with you. Things happening in our lives make us stronger. The knowledge is flowing from generation to generation in a parampara. Short explanation of yama and niyama rules.

A satsang discourse weaving Upanishadic teachings with personal reflection on a spiritual name. "The father explained that everything in the space comes from one cause. That cause is Brahma, or the Absolute." "Gaṇeśa is the lord of these elements... What does it mean if someone is ruling over the elements? It means he is able to control, to balance, to harmonize all the elements." Following opening prayers, the speaker narrates the Upanishadic story of a father teaching his son Śvetaketu the Mahāvākya "Tat Tvam Asi" (You are That), using analogies of clay, seeds, salt in water, and rivers in the ocean to illustrate the all-pervading Brahma. The discourse then shifts to a personal exploration of the speaker's name, Gajanant (Gaṇeśa), explaining its symbolism through Purāṇic stories, its role in bhajans as an invocation of the guru, and finally, its deepest meaning as the yogic principle that harmonizes the elements.

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from retreat at Mt. Shasta, Washington State, USA. The ocean is the origin, the creation. Nada is the resonance, it is the Supreme. Vishwaguruji creates a sound from the sea-shell. The elements were emerging from the sound of the creation. There are uncountable Souls in the body like the cells. Humans are fighting in vain, there is one Earth, each of the drops are from the same origin and will dissolve again. Similarly, there is one Soul. Real yoga is to love and understand the body, like when we are practicing Yoga in Daily Life.
