The Essence of Kumbh Melā and Cultural Understanding
0:40 - 1:05 (25 min)
Recorded on
A morning discourse on the cultural and spiritual significance of the Kumbh Melā. "Kumbh Melā originally was a meeting of intellectual people. It meant speaking about humanity, dharma, culture, ethics, spiritual principles." "The tradition of the Kumbh Melā, as well as the Nāgabābā, is highly respected and seen as renunciation." Swami Satyananda Saraswati addresses the assembly, explaining the deep symbolism of the Kumbh Melā's rivers and its original purpose as a gathering of learned sages. He defends the Nāgabābā tradition against sensationalist media portrayals, framing their renunciation as a historical, protective force. The talk broadens into a plea for cross-cultural understanding, using examples from global indigenous cultures to argue against judging differing ways of life.

The happiest thing is simply to let it be, to release it calmly and let it flow."

It is the one that is the substratum of all that appears." He repeatedly describes this singular, non-dual reality using a litany of synonymous attributes—the witness, the essence, the source, the goal, and the absolute peace, bliss, love, light, silence, and freedom that underlies all existence.

"Yoga is not a religion, it is not a philosophy, it is not a dogma, but it is the eternal principle in this universe, like the cosmic consciousness itself." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī is a divine process; you don't feel it as a physical sensation. You feel happy, as if in the lap of the mother." Swami Maheshwarananda delivers an extensive discourse on the awakening of consciousness through Kundalini and the chakra system. He explains yogic anatomy, including the 72,000 nāḍīs (energy channels) and the major chakras, describing their roles in physical, mental, and spiritual development.

"Practice is where we are practicing, really, really... These Brahmari practices and these few things must be very, very, very good, everything." A teacher addresses a gathering, offering guidance on the correct, pressure-free method for the humming bee breath (Brahmari), warning against overly long sessions. He shares personal reflections on inconsistent practice due to travel, then expands into broader themes of impermanence, using metaphors of birth, death, and a drop returning to the ocean to illustrate the soul's journey and the pursuit of purity.

Have A Feeling For Your Meditation
10:40 - 11:34 (54 min)
Recorded on
Satsang from Melbourne. It is said: When you are doing selfless work, the seva, God loves you, when you pray, God has a personal consultation with you, when you meditate, you are sitting in the heart or on the lap of God. Meditation is the most powerful technique to develop spirituality and to achieve the goal. Spirituality needs your discipline and continuity. Don't do it only occasionally. Prepare a place for it and have the inner feelings for your meditation. It is a path for you and meditation with the mantra is the light. After the introduction, Swamiji guides a meditation.
Body liberation and moksha
11:40 - 12:42 (62 min)
Recorded on
A satsang discourse on transcending body-mind duality through the five sheaths. "Body and mind have no sense in it. And if you are saying body and mind, then both are wrong." "We have to go: annamaya kośa, prāṇamaya kośa, manomaya kośa, vijñānamaya kośa, and ānandamaya kośa. Then we are only outside; it is in the body, but it is sending somewhere in different ways." He argues that true yogic science requires progressing through the five koshas (sheaths) toward Anandamaya kosha and liberation, moving beyond the confusing duality of body and mind.

Experiencing Gurupurnima
12:50 - 14:10 (80 min)

Satsang from Jadan. Various bhaktas from around the world, disciples of the Yoga in Daily Life system have taken part in the Gurupurnima festivities in Jadan Ashram in India. The day after they expressed their experiences which are messages of thankfulness, love and happiness in different languages. Swamiji remembers to let go past burdens and mistakes, to refresh the spiritual practice and to take a new shankalpa, a vow, for the spiritual progress. To do seva, the selfless service not only to humans but to plants or animals as well, is the best tool which will help to develop spirituality.
The Path of Conscious Living and Mercy
14:15 - 14:55 (40 min)
Recorded on
A satsang on spiritual development, karma, and conscious living. "True spirituality purifies negative karmas and frees the soul. We are covered by vibrations, karmic influences, and ignorance." "As humans among 8.4 million life forms, we possess intellect, vivekā, and karuṇā (mercy) in our hearts... Life is dear to everyone." Swami Gajānandji addresses a global gathering at the ashram, discussing the distinction between religion and soul purification. He explains how unconscious actions, particularly harming life for food, create karmic burdens that obscure the soul. Using a bhajan by Saint Sūradāsa and teachings from the Bhagavad Gītā, he emphasizes the need for conscious action, discriminative wisdom (vivekā), and extending mercy to all beings to achieve liberation.

The eternal journey of the Soul
15:00 - 15:56 (56 min)
Recorded on
Evening Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Martin, Slovakia. We should ask ourselves: Who am I? From where did I come? Where I am going? In order to have liberation, we need the blessing of the Guru. Only to have a title is nothing. Growing of the ego is a danger for the spiritual aspirant. Know thyself as the Atma. Every life is like a dream, it is your reality. There are three levels of consciousness.

The Journey Beyond the Three States
18:00 - 18:14 (14 min)
Recorded on
A philosophical exposition on the fourth state of consciousness, Turīya, based on Upanishadic teachings. "The one who experiences these three states is the Jīva, the individual soul." "Turīya is the witness of all three states. It is the silent, unchanging consciousness that illuminates the waking, dreaming, and sleeping experiences." The narration explains the three common states of consciousness—waking, dreaming, and deep sleep—and introduces Turīya as the transcendent witness behind them. It cites the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad and uses the analogy of two birds from the Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad to distinguish the experiencing individual soul (Jīva) from the witnessing Self. The goal is presented as realizing one's identity as Turīya through hearing, reflection, and meditation, culminating in the recognition of the great declaration "Tat Tvam Asi" (That thou art).

Part 1: Yoga, Stress, and Cardiovascular Disease: A Cardiologist's Perspective
20:22 - 22:09 (107 min)
Recorded on
A cardiology conference lecture on yoga, stress, and cardiovascular disease. "Chronic stress should be treated on par with the other cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and smoking—but we ignore it." "This is the first study that actually demonstrated that metabolic activity within the amygdala is associated with risk of developing cardiovascular disease." Professor Dr. Gautam Sharma, a cardiologist from AIIMS Delhi, presents data on the global burden of heart disease, arguing for stress to be recognized as a major risk factor. He cites neuroimaging research linking amygdala activity to cardiovascular events and reviews studies on yoga's benefits, while highlighting the need for more robust clinical trials to validate yoga as a therapeutic intervention.

The value of Satsang
22:18 - 23:03 (45 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse exploring the mantra "Hari Om" and sharing Puranic stories. "Hari is the name of Bhagavān Viṣṇu. And Om, Om is Hari." "72,000 years of sādhanā and one minute of satsaṅg... For one minute of satsaṅg, the whole earth raised up, and when it was 72,000 sādhanās, that was not moving." The lecturer explains the divine essence of the "Hari Om" mantra, linking it to Vishnu and the primal sound of creation. He narrates the Puranic story of the earth's origin and the serpent Sheshanaga who supports it. The central teaching is conveyed through a parable where the sage Vishvamitra learns that one minute of true satsang (spiritual gathering) outweighs 72,000 years of solitary penance, highlighting the supreme power of devotion and community. The talk concludes with ethical exhortations for spiritual practice. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
