A spiritual discourse on the significance of Monday and the discipline of fasting. "We worship Śiva on Monday. We call it Somavāra. When Monday coincides with the new moon after Pūrṇimā, it is considered a very auspicious constellation for the coming new year, heralding better times." "Your economy will be better, yes? You will not buy fruits, bread, drinks, or anything. So three times a week, our economy will be good. See how much money you save nicely in one year." A teacher addresses a gathering, explaining the astrological and spiritual importance of Monday (Somavāra) as a day dedicated to Lord Śiva and an auspicious time for fasting.

A spiritual discourse on the third eye and the Mūlādhāra Cakra. "The third eye signifies wisdom. All your karmas will be burned, and everything becomes pure." "When we begin to awaken the Mūlādhāra Cakra, it is a wonderful feeling. You feel like you are coming out of darkness, like a seed which was under the earth now begins to sprout." The speaker delivers a teaching on subtle anatomy, beginning with the wisdom of the third eye before focusing on the foundational Mūlādhāra Cakra. Using the symbol's imagery—the lotus, the elephant of prosperity, the coiled serpent of time, and the Śiva Liṅga—they explain the cakra's role as the seat of dormant energy (Śakti) and its awakening as the start of the spiritual journey toward union with supreme consciousness.

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

Swami Gajānandji addresses a global gathering at the ashram, discussing the distinction between religion and soul purification.

The Journey Beyond the Three States
10:40 - 10:54 (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).

And that bulletproof jacket is Guru Kṛpā, protection." The speaker delivers an evening satsang, beginning with the astrological and physical influence of the moon, particularly around Guru Pūrṇimā. Using analogies from air travel and oceanography, he transitions to the core theme: that the grace and protection of a true Guru surpass all planetary influences and astrological fears.

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."
