Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are many Gods but finally, there are all one. Our soul is circling in the universe like water in the earth. The story about how can some seeds öf grain remain unbroken. Who is going to the Satsang they can reach the Supreme. Sometimes we see the karma but don't do that. Man saints past away but their name remained with us. Holiguruji was very lovely and strict for those persons who were around him. Holiguruji knew if somebody criticises him the bad karma went to that man. Diving to the ocean we can hear the beautiful sound and we hear this also if we plug our ears. Viswaguruji blows the conch three times for the honour of Holiguruji.

Swamiji in Sliac, 9th April 2007

A lecture on the chakra system and spiritual purification. "The human birth and human body possess very special abilities and a most powerful tool: the intellect. Through our intellect, we can discover all our hidden powers." "Before we awake or open the chapter of the chakra... [there are] three negative points to address... mala, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa." Swami Paramananda leads an evening satsang from the Yoga and Life Ashram, continuing a series on the chakras. He explains the human body's subtle anatomy, including the 72,000 nerves and the three primary nāḍīs (Iḍā, Piṅgalā, Suṣumṇā). The core teaching focuses on the three obstacles to spiritual awakening: impurities (mala), mental disturbances (vikṣepa), and the veil of ignorance (āvaraṇa). He details methods for purification through Haṭha Yoga techniques, control of the senses, and satsang, weaving in stories and analogies about the mind, karma, and the goal of liberation beyond the cycle of birth and death.

He details five techniques: writing (likhit), audible chanting, whispered repetition (upāṁśu), mental repetition (mānasik), and spontaneous repetition (ajapa).

A spiritual discourse on the foundational principles of sādhanā (spiritual practice). "Practices alone will not help us. They can only be fruitful if we follow physical and mental principles. These are called Śayamit and Niyamit." "Viveka is that which will divide truth and untruth completely... who has viveka all the time is the happiest and safest person." The speaker explains the core disciplines for a spiritual life: Śayamit (self-control and setting boundaries) and Niyamit (daily discipline). He details how these practices, along with regular prayer (sandhyā), purify the mind and senses. The discourse emphasizes the critical role of viveka (discrimination) in distinguishing truth from untruth, leading to the discovery of the inner fountain of joy and the immortal Ātmā.

An evening satsang on turning inward for spiritual realization. "It came that if you are doing and looking outside, it is like in winter when the leaves of the trees are falling down. It is not for you, so go within thyself." "Meditation is not easy to come into. When we want to go outside, we cannot go. And we are inside, also not." Swami Māheśvarānanda addresses a global audience, sharing a personal nocturnal reflection on the limitations of external seeking. He emphasizes that true peace and divine connection are found within, using metaphors of water sources and a hungry child looking at pictures of food.

A satsang discourse on the necessity of the guru and the goal of Advaita philosophy. "The moment you begin to think you have already heard and know everything, in that moment your free fall begins." "Understand from this that the guru is not the physical body. It is most important to understand that the guru is that Guru-Tattva, the element of the guru." A speaker leads a satsang, emphasizing the eternal student's attitude and the critical role of the embodied spiritual master (Guru-Tattva) as the essential guide. Using stories and analogies—such as the matchbox with a diamond, the friend with a boat, and the river merging into the ocean—the talk explains the guru's function and explores the ultimate goal of yoga: to transcend the cycle of rebirth and realize the Advaita (non-dual) union of the individual self with the cosmic Self.

A spiritual discourse on the guru's power to transform destiny. "Everything depends on our karmas... What is written for you, what is written in your destiny, that is what is going to happen."

The lecturer narrates a traditional story from Holī Gurujī about a king's guru and the Vedāntā, the deity who writes destiny. The tale illustrates how a guru's compassion and clever guidance can alter the seemingly fixed fate of two princes, demonstrating the supreme grace of the guru.
