Evening satsang from Om Ashram (1/2)
0:45 - 1:24 (39 min)
The path is established through devotion. The river of wisdom has manifested. All present are requested to raise both hands and clap. The program proceeds with the Guru's blessings, beginning with Guru Vandana and bhajans. This demonstrates the influence of the tradition. One should be proud to be born on this land where many saints and sages were born. We prostrate to the guru and offer our life force. The guru's grace makes everything possible; without it, nothing is possible. Clapping is an opportunity. The Guru teaches that one should not have ego, for ego decides fate. The satsang proceeds solely in the direction of the revered Guru.
"Without the grace of Gurū Mahārāj, nothing is possible."
"Guru Mahārāj Jī tells us... that we should not have ego. The one who has ego, his fate is decided."

Preparing the Kalash
1:33 - 2:15 (42 min)
The essence of grace and refuge is found in devotion and surrender. This text is a devotional chant of praise and invocation, not a logical discourse. Its purpose is spiritual communion through repeated sacred names and phrases. The structure is repetitive and formulaic, focusing on reverence. It invokes the Guru and divine figures as the ultimate refuge. The fragmented phrases are for meditative repetition, not linear analysis. The core is taking refuge in grace.
"Jaya Guru Deva Parabrahma Dīna Bandhu."
"Satguru Svāmī Madhavānandjī Bhagavān Kī Jai."

The form of the Supreme is the resonance
2:25 - 3:38 (73 min)
Morning program wth Vishwaguruji from Sydney, Australia. Sound unites us with the Supreme. Continuing of the explanation of bhajan "Itna to Karana Guruji". When the resonance is there, there is no duality and no need for explanation. Kind worlds melt the heart. Guru loves everyone as the father loves his children equally. One drop of lemon can destroy the milk. When we are getting negative love is gone.
Darshan and dhan
3:45 - 4:42 (57 min)
True wealth is found in spiritual vision, not material illusion.
The darśana of the Guru is the highest blessing, surpassing all ritual and pilgrimage. Mere repetition of scriptures or practice of yoga is insufficient without this grace. People chase gold and money, mistaking transient possessions for real wealth. Even family bonds, like husband and wife, are often expressions of attachment, not the enduring harmony seen in nature. The real wealth is Darśana Dhan—the vision of God—which leads one forever upward. Worldly roles and gifts, like a mother's ring, are temporary tokens; the true legacy is spiritual awareness. Modern relationships fracture quickly because they lack Sat, the eternal truth. Satsaṅga is communion with that truth, which once attained, does not leave. This world is māyā, a great deceiver composed of the three guṇas, which entangle us through sweet words and desires, primarily attraction between genders and to riches.
"Having darśana of the Sadhguru is higher than all pilgrimage."
"Māyā is a great cheater... that aspect of God which can deceive us."

We will bring that divine light
4:50 - 5:38 (48 min)
The essence is the Guru's light and the systematic knowledge received. A rare opportunity exists to be with the Gurudev. India is an ocean of knowledge, and the Guru brings its pure essence to all. The knowledge of the Vedas and Upaniṣads belongs to everyone. A true Guru is a Brahmaniṣṭha Śrotriya, one who knows reality and can speak it simply. Many speak, but few combine knowledge with expression. The provided system of yoga is good and simple. The core duty is to preserve and spread the light received from the Guru through sādhanā. That inner light transforms everything. Follow the masters' words and practice yoga in daily life.
"The one who knows the reality and can speak about it... is a Brahmaniṣṭha Śrotriya."
"Bring that light everywhere where you are... You are like a sun in the dark universe."

Stories are within you
5:45 - 6:43 (58 min)
Surrender to the guru is the path to grace, and stories are vessels for truth.
We are not the doer; all action belongs to the guru. We surrender our capacity at the holy feet. An object, like carved stone, is transformed through consecration and placement upon the altar; it becomes divine through worship. Offer what you can from inner devotion. The guru's grace precedes our birth, and there are many true gurus. Do not judge them. A story was told of a poor man who asked a great sage four questions but was given only three answers for others' problems. By selflessly conveying the solutions—which revealed treasure and led to a marriage—his own poverty was resolved. Your word has power; speak with care, for what you declare takes form. Truth resides within, and a story is that inner store of experience. Learn through crafting tales from your own life.
"First, give your answers. And he said, 'Only three questions.' And these three were the answer for your fourth."
"The story is in you. So every day before going to sleep, have a story for yourself."

We are the cause of Mahapralaya
6:50 - 7:58 (68 min)
Chant mantras for protection and purity. The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya Mantra safeguards you, especially while driving. Another mantra purifies the heart like a lotus opening at dawn. Regular recitation acts as an ointment for inner vision. Human actions are causing environmental destruction leading towards a great dissolution. We cut forests, dig mines, destroy mountains, pollute with roads and pesticides, block rivers with dams, and slaughter animals. This removes Earth's balance, making it hollow and unstable. To prevent this, break the dams, stop deforestation and mining, and cease using wood and dug materials for building. Reject the scientists who caused this; convene a conference of farmers and normal people instead. Disseminate this message widely through letters and magazines. Where there is a will, there is a way.
"Oṁ tryambhakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭi-vardhanam urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya māmṛtāt."
"Through this mantra, in our heart, such happiness comes, purity comes."

Spirituality is without meat and alcohol
8:05 - 8:52 (47 min)
Milk is a primary source of prāṇa, essential for health. It comes from mothers—human, cow, buffalo, goat, or camel. From milk comes yogurt, then butter, then ghee, the essence that nourishes the body. The quality of the milk depends on the animal's health and feed; pure grass yields pure milk. Modern processing often adulterates this purity. Animals feel pain, so they must be treated with care and compassion, not exploitation. Consume milk consciously, knowing its source. Alcohol is a medicine, not for regular drinking; it causes familial strife. Choose good food without chemicals for your family's well-being. All religions are good; practice your sādhanā consciously, respecting others. Beauty is in the soul, not the transient body.
"From the milk comes yogurt; from yogurt comes butter; and from butter comes ghee. That is the quality, that is the power that is good for our body’s health."
"All animals or humans, we are living, they feel pain, and we also feel the pain. Therefore, we should take care."

The name is important not the body
10:10 - 10:35 (25 min)
The essence of all spiritual paths is one, though names and forms differ. In this age, humanity knows of conflict and war, yet the unifying difference now is spirituality. Whether called yoga, prayer, or meditation, the core is the same. Languages and nations vary, but the human essence and the teachings are one. Various centers and temples bear different names, just as children in a village each receive a unique name, yet all are human. One should not claim exclusivity for a single path or teacher. Many beautiful trees exist in many forests; all share in oneness. The physical body is transient, but the name based on one's deeds endures. We must welcome all, respecting every guest and tradition as part of the same human family. True yoga is not merely physical exercise but the prāṇa and spirit within. The name is immortal, while the form is not.
"One in all and all in one."
"The name is immortal. The body is not immortal."

We are never old for yoga
10:40 - 10:53 (13 min)
This weekend provided a spiritual vaccination against the subtle influences of Kali Yuga. The age's decay enters through small compromises, like a mouse, creating spiritual inflation. We must learn to firmly say no to ourselves, for the gentle approach of this era ends with us caught unaware. A yogi, like aged ghee, improves with time; one is never too old for sādhana. This injection strengthens our immunity, but ongoing practice is essential. We must carry this light home and arrive at the coming opening in a state of spiritual readiness, not merely physical. Our perspective on food, practice, and community must grasp the deeper principle of non-harm.
"To know how to say 'No' to ourselves."

Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā: Purification of the Intestine and Stomach
11:00 - 11:40 (40 min)
This lecture details the Śaṅkha Prakṣālana and Kunjal Kriyā purification techniques. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the cleansing of the entire intestine using warm, lightly salted water, performed early in the morning on an empty stomach. It involves drinking water and performing specific movements and postures to guide the water through the system. This practice is beneficial for conditions like high blood pressure and digestive issues but is not advised for those under 15, individuals with active ulcers or hernias, or pregnant women. Preparation includes a light diet the prior evening. The process continues until the expelled water runs clear. A strict diet must follow for at least one week, avoiding alcohol, meat, fish, eggs, and raw foods. Kunjal Kriyā is the cleansing of the stomach, performed after Śaṅkha Prakṣālana by drinking unsalted water to the point of fullness and then voluntarily expelling it. This practice helps purify the stomach and can aid those with bronchial asthma. The session concludes with rest and a meal of specially prepared kicharī.
"The best time to do Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is in March, the beginning of September, the end of May, and before the winter."
"After Śaṅkha Prakṣālana, you have to keep a diet for at least, strictly, seven days, one week, and up to one month."

We got the energy of our parampara
11:45 - 13:14 (89 min)
Satsaṅg is the essential life and path to the cosmic. It is the company of all holy people and religions, where the heart turns to God beyond language. Without regular satsaṅg and meditation, one becomes covered in dust, an impurity that constantly returns and must be cleaned. This cleaning is the practice of mantra, prāṇāyāma, and good deeds. The current age is Kali Yuga, characterized by this rapid accumulation of spiritual dust. The guru lineage provides the steps for purification. This paramparā extends from Śiva's time through Alakpurījī, Devpurījī, Mahāprabhujī, and Holy Gurujī. The teachings and power of this lineage are transmitted to guide all. Practice is essential; the techniques must be received and passed on correctly to bear fruit. One must engage with the teachings or risk losing the path.
"Satsaṅg is the only life, next to nothing."
"If we don't have meditations or satsaṅgs or time with good people together, then we are not holy people."

We can reach God through Satsang
13:20 - 13:58 (38 min)
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Ljubljana, Slovenia. Prasad is very great. It is given by God. We should live in peace and harmony otherwise we are lost. We can do good things only during our life. After death everything goes. A drop of water can become one with the ocean. We should be pure inside also. Satsang means to be together with our good friends and speak about the truth. Bhajan singing.
Om is Divine
14:05 - 14:41 (36 min)
Aum is the origin and substance of all creation. It is the formless, eternal source, the first vibration from which everything arises. The three qualities of nature emerge from Aum to manifest the universe. All beings live within Aum, and all knowledge, scriptures, and mantras flow from it. Repeating and meditating upon Aum awakens divine light, purifies karma, and overcomes worldly fear and sorrow. The wise hold Aum in their heart, for it is the means to cross the ocean of worldly existence.

Yogis are always alert
14:45 - 15:17 (32 min)
The ordinary mind oscillates between states of distraction and unconsciousness. In waking, one is physically present but mentally absent, with thoughts scattered far away. One is here, yet not truly here. Even in sleep, the inner world remains active with dreams and unresolved work. There is waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. The yogi transcends these ordinary states. Yoga Nidrā is not unconscious sleep but a state of profound, alert rest. Like a horse sleeping while standing on one leg, the yogi rests the body while consciousness remains fully awake and aware within. This is the fourth state, a balance of deep rest and total awareness, where one is asleep to the world yet awake to the true Self.
"In that, for it is said, yoga sādhanā... How the yogīs, so yogī is not sleeping, and if they are sleeping, but they are awakened."
"Know that yoga is the balance between sleep and wakefulness."

The basics of ancient Indian philosophy
15:25 - 15:35 (10 min)
The eternal Self is the foundation beyond material science.
I demonstrate an object that does not get wet or burn, symbolizing the immutable ātmā, the true Self. This wisdom of the Self, taught through Sanātana Dharma, Āyurveda, and Yoga, is not a discovered science but a revealed wisdom from ancient sages. Calling it 'science' creates difficulty, as Western authorities demand evidence they can recognize. Historical invasions led to the burning of repositories like Takṣaśilā, and colonial powers altered texts, disrupting the traditional evidence base. We are a community of compassion and ahiṃsā. Consider organ transplants: recipients sometimes adopt new habits from the donor. Research investigates this change. The explanation lies in prāṇa. Secondary prāṇas, like one retained after death, carry impressions. The final prāṇa holds the body together until released by cremation's agni.
"Science is something that you discover. Science is where you discover wisdom; you don't discover this."
"We cannot give them evidence because the evidence was burnt when Islam came into India."

Yoga treatment for panic attacks
15:40 - 16:32 (52 min)
Life is a challenging struggle, but we receive clarity and energy from the spiritual path, allowing us to rise again.
Our journey provides a continual infusion of clarity for development and energy for daily life. This blessing comes from a true source of knowledge. One practical source is Prāṇāyāma, though we often underutilize it. For instance, sleep issues can stem from imbalanced breathing patterns linked to sleep position, a knowledge from Svara Yoga. Similarly, panic attacks arise from low energy and psychological loss tied to identity. The panic sensation itself is an imitation of suffocation triggered by stress-induced clavicular breathing. The antidote is the full Yoga breath, which signals safety to the brain. Beyond this, deep Prāṇāyāma involves releasing the pelvic floor, a storehouse of tension. This practice retrains the brain towards relaxation. While many modern yoga forms lack depth, our path offers techniques and the blessing of wisdom. This wisdom is cultivated through tools like self-inquiry meditation, which cleans perception and establishes healthy inner boundaries by observing personal patterns.
"Panic attacks are based on an imitation of suffocation."
"With Prāṇāyāma, both clarity and energy are in our hands."

Shiva has given us the human body
19:10 - 20:10 (60 min)
The soul originates from Śiva, the supreme reality beyond all gods and heavens. This world is a field of perpetual conflict between divine and demonic forces, yet even the heavens are transient. The human condition is one of constant change, oscillating between joy and sorrow, driven by endless desires for worldly objects and relationships. These desires are impurities that bind consciousness to the cycle of birth and death. In this age, these tendencies manifest as strife, jealousy, and division, obscuring the true purpose of human life. The sole aim is to transcend this realm and attain the immortal Brahmaloka, our original abode. This requires overcoming all transient attachments through spiritual discipline.
The mind is stained by countless negative impressions from countless lives. Mere physical practices are insufficient; the fire of spiritual knowledge and intense practice is needed to burn these karmic seeds. One must cultivate detachment, discernment, and surrender. Through the guru's grace and the purifying fire of yoga, these impurities can be consumed. Then, the longing turns solely toward the divine, liberating the soul from all bondage.
"From this Smṛti Loka to Brahmaloka, all kinds of desires or joy we think, it is just like dirt."
"The fire of your yoga practice can burn into the ashes of our karmas."

The mercy of Bhagavan Shiva
21:50 - 22:20 (30 min)
Śiva is the eternal source and protector beyond birth and form.
He is Ādi, the beginningless source from which all emerges. Śiva manifested Brahmā and Viṣṇu, assigning them roles: Brahmā creates, Viṣṇu preserves, and Śiva ultimately protects and dissolves. He maintains balance between all forces. The holy night of Mahāśivarātri commemorates his grace. A desperate hunter, failing to find food, climbed a Bīlva tree. Water from his vessel and leaves he dropped fell onto a Śiva Liṅga below, unknowingly performing worship. Throughout the night, he was moved to compassion and spared the lives of pleading deer. By dawn, Śiva, pleased with this inadvertent devotion, blessed the hunter and his family with sustenance, forbidding further killing. Śiva is Bholenāth, the easily pleased lord who grants boons to simple, sincere hearts, turning even accidental or flawed actions into devotion.
"Śiva is not born; he has no mother, no son, and no father. He is the father; it is he who manifests himself."
"So when man was there and Śiva came and Śiva said, 'I will protect these deer and I protect your families.'"
