The Power of Tapasyā: Pārvatī's Resolve
0:15 - 1:03 (48 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse narrating the story of Pārvatī's resolve to perform tapasyā (austerity) and explaining its power. "Tapasya is the giver of happiness and the remover of all troubles." "Through the power of tapasyā, Brahmā is able to create this world. Through the power of that tapasyā... Viṣṇu is able to protect the world. And through that power of tapasyā, Śiva, is able to destroy all the negative powers." The speaker recounts how Pārvatī, consoling her mother Mēnā, describes a dream in which a Brāhmaṇa instructs her to undertake severe spiritual austerity, affirming the truth of sage Nārada's words. The narrative details the immense power of tapasyā, using the examples of the Hindu trinity and Śeṣanāga, and describes Pārvatī's subsequent journey into the forest for a prolonged, extreme penance to attain Lord Śiva. The discourse frequently shifts to address a modern audience directly, exhorting them to cultivate similar willpower in their own sādhanā (practice) to overcome mental obstacles and attachments.

A New Year's Eve satsang with reflections on the past year and spiritual teachings. "Western society became so consumer-based, so far from the natural type of living... People are making money just to spend it, just to buy some sort of enjoyment—temporary enjoyment." "Ahiṃsā means for myself to give up my own longings—to give up your own longing for position, power, for anything." Swamiji opens the online gathering, introducing Swami Nirañjanananda who speaks on the global challenges of the past year, critiquing consumerism and emphasizing the foundational principles of Sanātana Dharma and non-violence. Swami Umāpurī then shares her insights, focusing on selfless service and overcoming personal attachments.

As much as you spiritually develop, you are in danger." "Mahāprabhujī said that in the satsaṅg, if some kuṣaṅga comes, then it's like a bite of a poisonous snake." The lecturer addresses devotees at an ashram, cautioning that spiritual progress brings vulnerability. He uses parables, like a mighty tree felled by a small axe, and references to Hindu scriptures to illustrate how ego, negative company, and mental afflictions can destroy a seeker.

And through the grace of Viśva Gurujī, we can work on these qualities to become more aware, to become a better person." Swami Vishwaguruji opens the session with reflections on prayer, purification, and the essence of an ashram as a place of work (sāram). He shares anecdotes, including a story about a worker and a wheelbarrow, to illustrate the need for attentive effort. The disciple Chandra Puri then speaks, sharing his experience of living for many years with Mataji (Sadhvi Yogamaya/Mayok Shaktipuri) in the small Seva Ashram in Kāṭhū. He describes their initial clashes and how this close environment forced self-confrontation, detailing Mataji's teachings on self-observation, presence, and seeing one's own qualities reflected in conflicts.

We are just waiting to see how we will be." Swami Maheshwaranand Puri Ji addresses the gathering, using a parable of farmers who fail when they try to control the rain to illustrate the folly of questioning God's divine order. He speaks of the guru's supreme power, recounting a miraculous healing by Devpurījī, and contrasts this with human limitation in the face of modern ailments and distractions like technology, which he identifies with the Kali Yuga. He reflects on the qualities of his sannyasi disciples and cautions the congregation not to spoil potential spiritual successors through misplaced admiration.
