"One stupid thought, one stupid person can destroy all your spiritual sādhanā, which you made years and years long with great confidence and with great love."
Swami Ji addresses the community, explaining how a lack of clear aim allows the intellect to be distracted and how negative gossip and jealousy can spoil one's spiritual practice, like lemon curdling milk. He narrates the story of Nārada creating doubt between Śiva and Pārvatī to illustrate the destructive power of negative talk, and emphasizes the need for humility, love, and avoiding harmful company to protect one's spiritual progress.

OM

"The Vedas say, Nāda-rūpa-parabrahma: the Supreme is the resonance. The entire universe is full of that resonance."
"Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa says that for being a physical being, it is good to worship Saguṇa, the one with form. Nirguṇa is in your Self and everywhere."
A spiritual teacher guides the gathering in OM chanting technique, explaining its origin at the navel. He delves into the nature of God, distinguishing between the personal (Saguṇa) and impersonal (Nirguṇa) divine, supported by references from the Bhagavad Gītā. The discourse explores the philosophy of sound, the role of consciousness and energy (icchā śakti) in creation, and the eternal nature of Sanātana Dharma and the guru-disciple tradition. The session concludes with practical announcements for the ashram schedule.
The nature of Vikara
3:50 - 4:42 (52 min)

"Jñāna is one of the best protectors for our life... what to do and what not to do."
The lecturer leads a discourse exploring the physical and mental modifications that affect human beings. He discusses the anatomy of the body as vikāra, and the mental vikāras like anger, jealousy, and ego that lie dormant in the intellect. Using analogies like popcorn to describe anger and a story of a yogi and a skeptical scientist, he emphasizes the role of true wisdom (jñāna) and spiritual practice in overcoming these impurities. The talk concludes with a bhajan.

A Guru Purnima discourse on the essence of the Guru principle and spiritual practice.
"We have two Gurus. One is our Gurudev in saguṇa svarūpa, in a physical body... The second is nirguṇa, that is within ourself; the same Gurudev is within."
"So Holy Gurujī answered, 'In Ahmedabad, I was with Gurujī... When your mother comes, which temptation do you have? When your sister comes, what kind of temptation do you have?... So why don't you awaken that kind of thought in you, in which form you want to see?'"
A spiritual teacher delivers a satsang on Guru Purnima, exploring the dual nature of the Guru as both formless consciousness and physical guide. He discusses purifying the mind through sacred perception—seeing others as mother, sister, or daughter—to transform energy and dissolve ego. The talk weaves in teachings on the Nātha lineage, the power of Guru's words as divine nectar, and the necessity of surrendering the heart to achieve equal vision and liberation.

He details practical techniques, such as checking the active nostril upon waking and stepping forward with the corresponding foot to ensure success in daily activities.

Great Saints set an example
14:30 - 15:30 (60 min)

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).
