Culture is very important
0:00 - 0:58 (58 min)
Culture is the essential spiritual education for children, uniting humanity through shared traditions and reverence for life.
Every nation possesses a unique culture, which is the foundation for its spirituality and education. Parents must impart this cultural knowledge at home, alongside formal schooling. Cultural festivals like Christmas or Diwali awaken collective joy and continuity, teaching values through anticipation and celebration. Rituals such as marriages, conducted with purity and community support, embed cultural understanding in the young. This education extends to knowing one's land—its rivers, forests, and natural gifts like medicinal honey and the sacred cow. Daily practices, including prayer before meals and the principles of yajña (sacrifice), dāna (charity), and tapas (austerity), structure a moral life. Ultimately, this cultural guidance requires the blessing of a guru to awaken true knowledge and prevent a life of aimless wandering.
"Where there is culture, there is spirituality."
"Without the guru’s blessing, the knowledge will not come."

Respect God
0:45 - 1:14 (29 min)
The divine principle is immanent within the natural order and our own being. The sun is a constant divine presence, essential for life; without its balance with the moon, earthly stability would fail. This cosmic balance mirrors the delicate equilibrium within our own bodies, where each organ is vital. To deny the divine nature of these elements is a form of blindness. The divine is not a separate, distant figure but is present in all things—the sun, moon, earth, and within ourselves. Argument over the form or name of God is futile and leads only to spiritual disease. Realization comes from understanding this inherent divinity in everything, returning fully to the sacred earth that supports all life without judgment. All names point to the same one reality.
"Within two days, if the sun does not rise, we will be finished. And if we are not balancing this moon, then everything will fall down."
"Therefore, let all go as they are going, but those who have the realization, they understand again, come completely down to the earth."

Past present and future
2:00 - 3:32 (92 min)
The year's end invites reflection on life's purpose and spiritual foundations. Human life is inherently challenging for soul evolution. Collective human actions create karmic pressure on Earth, which returns as global suffering, prompting questioning of purpose. Modern consumer society, distant from natural living, often lacks true life philosophy, leading to selfishness and violence by forgetting Sanātana Dharma's foundational unity. This dharma teaches all beings are connected to one God. Following non-violence is the correct path, as karmic feedback, though delayed, is inevitable. A living Guru embodies these principles, providing a real example of selfless service. In difficult times, one must consciously choose a path of right thought, speech, and action, helping others with a positive heart.
"Human life is always a challenge, because that is actually the purpose of the evolution of the soul."
"All ethical teachings and moral rules are based on Ahiṃsā Paramodharma."

Be alert and purify yourself
3:40 - 4:48 (68 min)
The fundamental reality is oneness, a single divine consciousness from which all arises. Every day is divine, yet human minds create separation where none exists. All creation emanates from one source, like countless drops from a single ocean. The individual soul and the supreme soul are not two. The purpose of human life is to awaken from unconsciousness to this truth. One must purify the body and mind through awareness, meditation, and selfless action. All material possessions are left behind; only the consequences of one's deeds accompany the soul. Therefore, cultivate constant awareness.
"One into the one, so the whole space is one, and we are also only one."
"All this will remain here. You can’t even touch. The body will not go together; anything from the body will go."

Mahasamadhi Satsang of Sri Mahaprabuji
4:55 - 6:01 (66 min)
The immortal voice of the Guru is present everywhere. Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī resides in every heart and is the entire universe. His words are like precious pearls. The lineage continues through great saints, all of whom have returned to Brahman. The Guru's voice is an immortal story resonating throughout the whole world. It is like nectar from an ocean, coming through clouds to earth. Those who drink this nectar through understanding are freed from birth and death. The Guru sees all life as equal. One must become the humblest to receive this. The voice is eternal and will remain as long as humanity exists.
"Sāre viśva meṁ guñj rahī hai, prabhu kī amar kahānī." — "In the whole world, the immortal story of the Lord is resonating."
"Jisne piyā amṛta manbhar ke... There is no one who comes again, birth and death." — "Who has drunk that nectar fully... does not return through birth and death."

The Essence of Prāṇa, Guru, and Disciple
6:05 - 7:03 (58 min)
Life is lived in the present through the prāṇa. The past is a memory and the future is unknown; only the present breath is real. Prāṇa is the vital thread sustaining life, persisting even when breath and pulse seem absent. Yogis learn to live with this energy, aligning with natural cycles like sunrise and sunset. Sleep states—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—reveal different layers of consciousness. In deep sleep, there is complete relaxation, while dreams carry impressions from our waking life. A true yogi can navigate these states with awareness through yoga nidrā, transforming dreams. This mastery is rare and comes only through the guru's grace. The guru-disciple bond is the essential conduit for this knowledge, transcending mere physical presence or ritual.
"The prāṇa is like a thread; we are hanging on the thread."
"Only that yogī, that guru—we call param-gurus—they can give inside one key."

Returning to Nature: A Call for Natural Living and Ayurvedic Wisdom
7:10 - 8:07 (57 min)
A destructive artificiality is overtaking the natural world and human health. Earthquakes, fires, and pollution signal a worsening age. Chemicals decimate bees, fish, and forests, while artificial foods and beauty products breed disease. We must return to nature and its wisdom, like Ayurveda, for a long and healthy life. Modern science often errs, altering seeds and even human reproduction, creating confusion and sickness. Our natural ways are being lost. Simple, natural remedies exist for common ailments, like dental care using neem or babool. These methods reconnect us to the truth of our bodies and the earth.
"These chemical things have also destroyed a great deal on this earth."
"Life in the water, the fish, has been affected by petrol, oil extraction, and leaks, causing the death of many creatures."

Cetan and acetan
8:15 - 9:11 (56 min)
The call is to move from unconsciousness to conscious knowledge. We face darkness like the pandemic, but we protect and harmonize, not fight. Light a lamp; the sun will rise. Many worship a formful God, others a formless reality, but Krishna says there is no difference—form is just easier to start with. Yoga is more than body movement; it requires scripture, discipline, and knowledge. A difficult time is coming, but Shiva Shakti will harmonize and separate negative from positive. The Guru's grace, both formless and formed, guides from within. Now is the time to be alert. Consciousness (chetan) means being aware even with eyes closed; unconsciousness (achetan) can occur even while awake, leading to harm. Do not be the ignorant one (ajñānī) who acts with inner anger. Knowledge (jñāna) is the aim. The Guru teaches like a mother correcting a child. This alert knowledge is the foundation; meditation is carrying this awareness into all action. It is not merely lifelong technique, which is just breath. The choice is now. The Guru—mother, father, teacher, sage—will guide.
"O my soul, do not be without knowledge. Don't be an ajñānī."
"Be alert now. Ab, just now, not tomorrow."

Without Gurudev there is no knowledge
9:15 - 10:02 (47 min)
True spiritual knowledge and power come only through the guru's grace and disciplined practice within the lineage.
The systematic techniques, like Kriyā Anuṣṭhāna, are of rare quality and lead from the physical to the cosmic. This path is not about worldly knowledge but divine devotion, uniting practitioners beyond religion. Success requires the guru's blessing and correct practice within the paramparā; mixing or altering the teachings leads to failure. A true guru knows and guides the disciple, often invisibly, and the connection is magnetic. These powerful techniques are not for casual teaching or daily use; they must be preserved and transmitted only by those properly authorized. The disciple's sincere practice attracts the guru's grace, which is as specific and nourishing as a mother's milk for her child.
"Without Gurudeva, no knowledge can be."
"Guru Kṛpāhi Kevalam. Only by the blessing of Gurudev."

Karma and bhakti bring us to Brahmaloka
10:10 - 10:56 (46 min)
Bhakti and Karma are the essence of the path. Bhakti Yoga is a supreme and sure path. Many saints, like the farmer Tukārām, attained realization through unwavering devotion and selfless action, trusting completely in divine will. His harvest flourished despite neglect, demonstrating that grace follows sincere bhakti. Yoga practices are good, but success is impossible without devotion. Bhakti requires a completely pure heart, free from all negative thoughts and ego. Ego is a destructive fire within. Karma Yoga, selfless service performed without ego, is Bhakti Yoga. One cannot practice clear Bhakti without Karma, and clear Karma requires Bhakti. They are interdependent. Other yogas like Jñāna or Rāja are good but remain more superficial. The combined path of Bhakti and Karma leads to the highest goal.
"Bhakti rodhanā datā dījīyo. O my Lord, give me bhakti, devotion."
"Karma sukho śālam. We will be successful when we do something for someone."

Prayer for removing all suffering
11:00 - 11:46 (46 min)
A shelter exists amidst the turbulence of this age. Natural disasters and pandemics manifest as signs of the Kali Yuga. Astrological constellations foretell these events, which occur regardless of belief. The divine serpent Śeṣanāga, upon whom Viṣṇu rests, causes earthquakes and cyclones through its movements. This same entity also provides universal protection, like the sun that shines for all. Invisible sages and divine beings work to maintain balance. Prayer and mantra practice across all faiths invoke this shelter, offering peace and control. The current sufferings are acknowledged, and collective prayer is directed for relief.
"It is said that in the ocean, under the ocean, there is Viṣṇu."
"Believe or not believe, but when it happens, then you will say, 'Yes, there is something.'"

A guide to practicing mantra
11:50 - 12:35 (45 min)
The mala and mantra are a singular technique for deep spiritual journey, distinct from general meditation or physical yoga. The Guru provides this specific path inward. The mala's 108 beads, including the Sumeru, utilize sacred numerology to influence consciousness. Correct handling is crucial: the index finger remains separate while the thumb and middle finger move the beads inward toward the heart. This practice purifies the five sheaths of the body. Materials like Rudraksha or Tulasi carry specific spiritual properties, with Tulasi also offering medicinal benefits. The practice is one of constant remembrance, aligning with the natural balance exemplified by celestial bodies.
"The mala itself is the path."
"To go very deep inside, there is only one technique the Guru gives: one word or mantra."

New Year's Evening Satsang
12:40 - 13:18 (38 min)
New Year's Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Many cultures count differently the beginning of the new year. The functions of our body are working constantly. When we arrive at the end of our life w die. In reality, there is no time but we counting. We count many functions in our body. Holiguruji said that don't count the days better if you count your mantra. Siva created Brahma and Visnu and he created himself. The water comes from the sweating of Visnu and Brahma created humans. The seven rishis are still in space as seven stars. We should know the line of our family. It is a hard process during those nine months before our birth. In the next life, an elephant can be an ant and vice versa.
Sunset and sunrise
13:25 - 13:58 (33 min)
The sanctity of Sandhyā, the junction of day and night, is a divine time for prayer and oneness. This period demands the avoidance of all negative thoughts and actions, especially harming animals. The morning Prabhāta holds the same sacred respect. Householders are prescribed prayer at dawn, midday, and dusk, eating before sunset and after morning rituals. Sannyāsīs, while maintaining discipline, possess the freedom for spiritual practice at any hour. The distinction between householder and renunciant life is clear, yet no one should claim superiority, as ego creates separation. All beings, from birds to humans, inherently honor these times. The specific moment for evening prayer is discerned by the natural light where one can see the lines on one's palm.
"During this time of Sandhyā, one should never entertain any kind of negative thoughts, negative thinking, or anything negative."
"God said, 'No. I give freedom, and my door is completely open, wide open. Everyone can come... But during Sandhyā and early morning Pūjā, you all come to me.'"

Bhajans awake positive energies
14:05 - 14:37 (32 min)
Awakening to health and awareness is essential in these challenging times.
Negative influences are pervasive, arising from within and without, making protection difficult. Strengthen the body through yogic exercise and proper nourishment. Consume sprouted seeds and soaked almonds each morning. After eating, avoid water for one hour; consume fruit before other foods. Purify your living space, even in cities, by cleaning and allowing filtered air. Practice prāṇāyāma to strengthen the lungs, heart, and brain. Spiritual nourishment from bhajans and satsaṅg is vital for the mind and heart. The bhajan "Chetan Chetan" calls for alertness. We must be aware and wish for good health in all states of consciousness. Positive spiritual practices awaken every cell. Ultimately, you must do the work for your own well-being.
"Chetan means be alert, be aware; you should know."
"Deep means light... Nārāyaṇa is Viṣṇu, Bhagavān Viṣṇu."

Protect the animals
14:45 - 15:16 (31 min)
A prayer for protection and balance in response to suffering.
An earthquake has caused loss and hardship. Prayers and ceremonies have positive effects. We are in Kali Yuga, a distracting age. Shiva will now balance all negatives to bring a better time. Messages suggest more challenges will come. We must act. First, protect all life: in water, on land, and in the air. Do not destroy creatures; love and feed them. From your own food, give a portion to animals. This protection of others is protection for ourselves. Spiritual progress is like drawing water from a deep well; negative actions can break the rope, causing a fall. We should also practice yoga: postures like Sarvahitāsan and prāṇāyāma. These bring health. Breathing is life itself.
"Shiva will balance all. He will bring that kind of energy so that all the negatives or distracting things will slowly, slowly be brought into a good position."
"If we cannot give them something good, then at least we should not destroy them or make problems for them."

Shiva will bless All
15:55 - 16:18 (23 min)
The Kali Yuga presents a severe trial, demanding unity. A time of great calamity approaches, with disasters, disease, and agricultural ruin. Yet, a path exists for those with correct knowledge to merge with the cosmic Śiva. Śiva's nature is universally compassionate, embracing all people and religions without exclusion, unlike other forces that may discriminate. Śiva's blessing is the paramount solution. The precious human birth is easily squandered without understanding. Time, once lost, never returns. Therefore, one must remember Śiva constantly through repetition of His names, cultivating real devotion to the inner Gurudeva, who appears in many forms beyond external designations. This devotion is the essential grace.
"Śiva said, 'All of you are very good. Let be.'"
"Human life in this world is very, very precious. If you do not understand and you lose it, then you have no knowledge."

Oneness is the divine reality encompassing all beings.
We exist as a small part of a vast creation, living in water, on earth, and in the sky. The Supreme has brought all life into being. Humans, as God's children, were given divine capability. Yet, claiming independence led to negativity and conflict. The solution is likened to opening a locked mala. The divine Name serves as the key to this lock. By focusing on a single, sacred name, one accesses the treasure within. This practice transcends all divisions, restoring harmony.

Prana connects us
17:55 - 18:56 (61 min)
Prāṇa is the universal life force connecting all beings. Our physical body is composed of the five elements and contains immense energy. This energy, or prāṇa, must be balanced within us. It flows through every cell, not just the lungs; even our hair and nails interact with it. All life forms possess this prāṇa, from humans to animals and plants. We see evidence of the soul's presence after physical death, as in animals that gather around their dead. The key is to distinguish between temporary emotional attachment and eternal spiritual oneness. Attachment is personal and leads to separation, while oneness is a unifying connection with all life, like that between a true disciple and the guru. This connection transcends the physical body. Our practices should honor this inherent prāṇa within every being, fostering respect and unity rather than division. The goal is to realize this fundamental oneness.
"Prāṇa is our prāṇa. Nāth is the God. 'My prāṇa.'"

The Guru is the supreme principle encompassing and transcending all. The Guru is Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva, yet exists above this trinity. This truth is chanted to affirm that the divine witness is always present. Meditation's root is the Guru's form, meaning one should concentrate on the divine essence within, not the physical body. Worship's root is the Guru's feet, representing reverence for the foundation from which all guidance arises. The mantra's root is the Guru's word, for speech holds immense power for liberation or bondage. Liberation's root is the Guru's grace alone. Therefore, see the Guru in all steps and in all forms, moving beyond attachment to the physical.

The unity of all spiritual paths and the essential grace of the guru are paramount. All teachings and religions are one, as all beings are God's children. We respect all holy books and figures, including Jesus on this Christmas day. The divine essence—whether called Viṣṇu, Śiva, or another name—is singular. We must transcend duality, recognizing our shared humanity and fostering humility and peace. The mind must be controlled through yoga.
