The Essence of Kumbh Melā and Cultural Understanding
0:45 - 1:10 (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 speaker recounts the recent initiation of eight disciples into sannyāsa during a journey to the Kumbh Melā, describing the character and journey of several, including Yogīś, Premānandjī, and devotees from Australia and Israel. He emphasizes that the decision for spiritual progress and liberation ultimately rests with the individual, illustrating this with a parable about a bird whose fate lies in a disciple's hands.

Body liberation and moksha
7:50 - 8:52 (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.

Recorded on
A spiritual discourse exploring the concept of kiśmat (fate/luck) and the value of satsaṅg (spiritual gathering). "Kiśmat is more like a Muslim word, but it is very nice, very good... Kismet is so vast you cannot think." "In satsaṅg, they had one guru... Satsaṅg is like this. And ku-saṅg is many things: drinking, going, cleaning, mind." The speaker delivers an informal talk, weaving together observations on prayer across religions, anecdotes about marriage and village life, and a parable about two boys—one who attends a cinema and one who attends satsaṅg—to illustrate the subtle and protective nature of divine fortune (kiśmat). He emphasizes that true good fortune is aligned with spiritual company and devotion, not merely material gain. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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

The happiest thing is simply to let it be, to release it calmly and let it flow." A speaker first explains the universality of Om, linking it to the words 'Amen' and 'Amin', and discusses his work promoting Indian traditional sciences in European parliaments.

The lecturer leads a satsang, questioning the human-made nature of the New Year and other divisions.
