The Power of Tapasyā: Pārvatī's Resolve
0:15 - 1:03 (48 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse narrating the story of Pārvatī's resolve to perform tapasyā (austerity) and explaining its power. "Tapasya is the giver of happiness and the remover of all troubles." "Through the power of tapasyā, Brahmā is able to create this world. Through the power of that tapasyā... Viṣṇu is able to protect the world. And through that power of tapasyā, Śiva, is able to destroy all the negative powers." The speaker recounts how Pārvatī, consoling her mother Mēnā, describes a dream in which a Brāhmaṇa instructs her to undertake severe spiritual austerity, affirming the truth of sage Nārada's words. The narrative details the immense power of tapasyā, using the examples of the Hindu trinity and Śeṣanāga, and describes Pārvatī's subsequent journey into the forest for a prolonged, extreme penance to attain Lord Śiva. The discourse frequently shifts to address a modern audience directly, exhorting them to cultivate similar willpower in their own sādhanā (practice) to overcome mental obstacles and attachments.

A spiritual discourse on the Viśuddhi (throat) chakra, consciousness, and karma. "According to this philosophy, there is karma, and karma is action. Action is day and night continuing. Everything we do with body and mind, with our emotion and our intellect, is collecting in a particular part of the body." "Therefore, many yoga practitioners are not successful. Either they will learn a little bit from me, a little from the Prema Purī, a little from the Svānāmukī, and then after go to the Dayāmātā. It’s nothing. You are cutting here, here." The teacher explains the Viśuddhi chakra as an energy center affecting body, mind, and consciousness, framing it within the cycle of karma (action and reaction). He discusses higher states of samādhi, using the metaphor of mountain tunnels to warn against fragmented spiritual practice. He narrates the story of the bandit Vālmīki's transformation through mantra repetition to illustrate the purification of karma, and concludes by advising steadfastness on one spiritual path.
