The nature of Vikara
0:05 - 0:57 (52 min)
Recorded on
An evening satsang on the nature of vikāra (modifications) and the light of true knowledge. "Vikāra is also in everyone. It is not easy to remove the vikāra. Physical vikāra is physical vikāra, and the mental vikāras are mental vikāras." "Jñāna is one of the best protectors for our life... what to do and what not to do." The lecturer leads a discourse exploring the physical and mental modifications that affect human beings. He discusses the anatomy of the body as vikāra, and the mental vikāras like anger, jealousy, and ego that lie dormant in the intellect. Using analogies like popcorn to describe anger and a story of a yogi and a skeptical scientist, he emphasizes the role of true wisdom (jñāna) and spiritual practice in overcoming these impurities. The talk concludes with a bhajan. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
Guru Tattva cleans everything
1:05 - 1:53 (48 min)
Recorded on
A Guru Purnima discourse on the essence of the Guru principle and spiritual practice. "We have two Gurus. One is our Gurudev in saguṇa svarūpa, in a physical body... The second is nirguṇa, that is within ourself; the same Gurudev is within." "So Holy Gurujī answered, 'In Ahmedabad, I was with Gurujī... When your mother comes, which temptation do you have? When your sister comes, what kind of temptation do you have?... So why don't you awaken that kind of thought in you, in which form you want to see?'" A spiritual teacher delivers a satsang on Guru Purnima, exploring the dual nature of the Guru as both formless consciousness and physical guide. He discusses purifying the mind through sacred perception—seeing others as mother, sister, or daughter—to transform energy and dissolve ego. The talk weaves in teachings on the Nātha lineage, the power of Guru's words as divine nectar, and the necessity of surrendering the heart to achieve equal vision and liberation.

A personal narrative blending a medical emergency with reflections on yoga and human nature. "My doctor said, 'Swāmījī, I will not take money from you, I will give you everything.'" "Yoga is not only my country or your country, or my religion or your religion. No. Yoga is life, the whole earth." Swami Maheshvaranand recounts a detailed story of falling ill in Jodhpur, India, and the complex, caring international effort involving his disciples and Austrian health insurance to safely return him to Vienna. He uses this experience to transition into a discourse on the essence of yoga as a universal practice connecting all life, the challenges of the current age (Kali Yuga), and the importance of seeing beyond divisions of religion and nationality to our shared humanity.

The real Guru is in oneness
4:20 - 5:21 (61 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on universal oneness and the nature of the divine path. "If a God says, 'Do not worship that God,' then neither is that God right, nor are you good. We have to come to oneness." "The drop is not there. I am not a drop. I am the ocean. Similarly, we are in that condition. But you are still not near the beach of the ocean." The speaker, likely a spiritual teacher, leads a satsang exploring the essential unity of all spiritual paths and deities. He emphasizes that a true guru or God would never forbid the worship of another, advocating for a non-sectarian devotion. Using metaphors like a drop merging into the ocean and the irreversible flight of an airplane, he discusses the preciousness of time, the journey of the soul, and the nature of prana (life force) as both a suffering entity and a divine connection. The talk weaves between philosophical points, practical advice, and anecdotal reflections, concluding with a call for inner purity and an end to religious duality.

A spiritual discourse on dharma, sādhanā, and the essence of scripture. "Dharma means rightness—the dharma of humans, animals, nature, seasons, husband, wife, children, friends, and neighbors. It is not about worshipping separate gods." "The essence of all these scriptures is contained in just two words: 'Śuk diyā śuk hot hai, aur duk diyā duk hoī.' If you give pleasure to others, you will receive pleasure. If you give trouble to others, you will receive trouble." Swami Satyāśāntānanda delivers a teaching, contrasting superficial yoga techniques with the higher path of sādhanā. He defines true dharma as universal righteousness beyond religious division, emphasizing satsaṅg and the study of saints' lives. Using parables and references to historical figures—from Jesus and Guru Gobind Singh's sons to a self-sacrificing ṛṣi—he illustrates the power of commitment to dharma and the inner study of the self (svādhyāya).
