A discourse on the Īśāvāsya Upaniṣad, focusing on the integration of worldly and spiritual knowledge. "Those who are studying this knowledge [worldly] are going into the darkness... But those who are concentrated only on spiritual knowledge are finishing even in the worst darkness." "From time immemorial, the Vedas were telling karma yoga and spiritual practice go together. Always go together." The lecturer explains the sixth mantra, which presents a paradox: exclusive pursuit of either worldly knowledge (avidyā) or spiritual knowledge (vidyā) leads to a form of darkness. He clarifies that the path is to use both together—worldly knowledge for life and spiritual knowledge to transcend death. The teaching emphasizes understanding both the manifest and unmanifest realities to cross beyond attachment and attain liberation. Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A spiritual discourse on the preciousness and purpose of human life. "Vishwagurujī is always mentioning that 8.4 million creatures are in this world. And this is one human life. That life, if we get, then we can get liberated." "If you are human, what should be the difference?... If we have some dharma, if we are doing bhakti, if we are doing spiritual practices, if we are following guru ājñā... then we are the human in human body." A speaker at Om Ashram addresses a gathering, explaining why human life is a rare opportunity for liberation. He uses an allegory of a man trapped in a well to describe attachment to worldly illusion (māyā) and the need for a guru's guidance. The talk contrasts basic animal instincts with the spiritual duties that define a human being, urging the audience to follow the path of seva, bhakti, and sādhanā.

Nothing is permanent in this world, only the bond between us and Gurudev. Sri Phulpuriji's story from his childhood. It is the 36th birthday of Sri Phulpiriji. There is Vishwaguruji's energy in every tree and stone in Strilky Ashram.

He elaborates on Śiva as pure, liberating consciousness and Śakti as the active energy governing karma, whose union leads to Self-realization.

We will go one day
18:50 - 19:33 (43 min)
Recorded on
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.

Great spiritual personalities blessed the inauguration of the Rupavas temple with their presence. All the Masters of our parampara were taking care of cows, and Vishwaguruji also does.
