A spiritual discourse on the path of discipleship, austerity, and selfless service. "Gurujī said, 'I have my spiritualities, my jñāna, my knowledge, everything. What do I want from others?'" "To go on the path is not easy. One path is with torrents. Another path is very hot, with sand. And there is a knife on the side of the knife. On that, you have to go." The speaker shares memories of austere early days with his Guru in a simple Jaipur ashram, illustrating the saint's path of inner richness over material possession. He uses parables, like that of a greedy rich man, and metaphors, like the firing of a clay pot, to teach the value of seva (selfless service), detachment, and rigorous spiritual training. The talk contrasts this with modern distractions and concludes with a focus on foundational spiritual practices. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A spiritual discourse exploring the concept of kiśmat (fate/luck) and the value of satsaṅg (spiritual gathering). "Kiśmat is more like a Muslim word, but it is very nice, very good... Kismet is so vast you cannot think." "In satsaṅg, they had one guru... Satsaṅg is like this. And ku-saṅg is many things: drinking, going, cleaning, mind." The speaker delivers an informal talk, weaving together observations on prayer across religions, anecdotes about marriage and village life, and a parable about two boys—one who attends a cinema and one who attends satsaṅg—to illustrate the subtle and protective nature of divine fortune (kiśmat). He emphasizes that true good fortune is aligned with spiritual company and devotion, not merely material gain. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The talk includes a personal anecdote about a lonely old man met in Austria, illustrating the impermanence of worldly success and the inevitability of suffering.

Swami Maheshwarananda concludes the year 2018 with a webcast satsang, advocating for a vegan diet and yogic practice as foundations for personal and global peace.

17:05 - 17:45 (40 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Strilky Ashram is very good place to practise spiritual sadhana. A jiva many times comes and goes, again and again. Every creature has the same atma. In the end, our atma arrives to God like a drop of water to the ocean. The story of a rakshasa (demon) who got a siddhi (special ability) from Shiva to burn anybody with his hand. God also burns up all negative qualities. God's light reaches everywhere. Those who are separated sooner or later will split. Dirty water is going out of the Ganga. Water is powerful. A bathe in the Alakhananda River cleanses us from all our negative qualities, thoughts and feelings. After that, if we are negative, it's like the dust coming to us again. We can clean ourselves with our breath.

A spiritual discourse on chakras, consciousness, and modern life. "Chakra means centers. In a particular place within us, there are these centers—something like a very tiny point, akin to the tip of a needle. Within that point, everything exists." "Our consciousness is very pure and gentle at that time. Waking up to meditate at that pure time allows us to achieve our spiritual or other goals most effectively." The speaker explains the symbolism of the lotus flower and its connection to the body's chakras and the ideal time for spiritual practice (Brahma Muhurta). He expands the discussion to critique modern food production and chemicals, linking physical health to spiritual vitality.

The speaker reflects on the universal, protective love seen in nature, from a mother's warmth to animals caring for their young, urging this compassion to extend to all creatures. He connects this to spiritual practice, stating that true yoga must reside in the heart and inform daily actions, including kindness and dietary choices. The talk concludes with evening blessings.
