Swamiji in Sliac, 4th April 2007

Satsang with Vishwaguru Mahamandaleshwar Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda, Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Vishwaguruji explains what knowledge is, and how to utilize and preserve it in a good way.

A spiritual discourse on the living succession within a guru lineage. "The Master never dies. The body goes, for they become one with Brahman. As long as the master is living in the body, he is with us. When he passes away or leaves this body, then he is not with us, but he is within us." "Anger, greed, jealousy, hate, etc.—these negative qualities create a barrier... So anger—not only towards the Master, but towards anyone. Anger is there where there is fear." A speaker explains the eternal nature of the master's consciousness, which transcends the physical body and is passed to a prepared successor, making them the same person in a "different cloth." He emphasizes that receiving this consciousness (parāvidyā) depends on purity and the elimination of negative qualities like anger, not academic learning. The talk includes a story of Guru Gauraknāth, references to devotional songs, and an anecdote about the integrity of former Indian President Abdul Kalam to illustrate spiritual principles.

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).

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.
