Swami Anand Arun leads an evening satsang, exploring the sources of happiness and unhappiness through analogies and stories.

A spiritual discourse reflecting on the Kumbh Mela and warning against false spiritual powers.

The narrative then focuses on Parvati's insistence that Shiva teach her the secret of immortality, a secret that is accidentally overheard by a clever parrot, leading to the birth of the sage Shukadeva.

A spiritual discourse on the journey of the soul through birth, death, and karma. "Our soul—not the Ātmā, but the soul... the soul is individual, not universal." "Only two will follow us: our good or bad karmas. And that becomes destiny. And against destiny we have no power." A spiritual teacher explains the nature of the individual soul (Jīvātmā) as a wave of the universal resonance. He describes its journey through time, bound by karma, its entry into a physical body, and the rare opportunity of human birth. He emphasizes the inescapable law of karma governed by body, mind, speech, and wealth, and concludes that liberation comes through spiritual practice and the Guru's grace, which dissolves the soul back into the Supreme.

The Nature of Attachment, the Curse of Knowledge, and the Immortal Parrot
6:05 - 7:05 (60 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse exploring attachment, divine knowledge, and a mythological story about immortality. "Love is the greatest. That love is God, and God is love. Our love for our dear ones, parents, ancestors, sisters, brothers, friends, animals, house pets, even our car." "Therefore, moha. Moha means ignorance, and moha means attachment." The speaker delivers an evening satsang, weaving together philosophical teachings on attachment (moha) with the story of Shiva, Parvati, and the quest for immortal wisdom. He explains how attachment leads to suffering, illustrating this with the tale of Sati's self-immolation and Shiva's grief. The narrative then focuses on Parvati's insistence that Shiva teach her the secret of immortality, a secret that is accidentally overheard by a clever parrot, leading to the birth of the sage Shukadeva. The talk emphasizes the challenges of spiritual practice and the need for a true Guru. Filming location: Vienna, Austria

A spiritual discourse on the Viśuddhi chakra, happiness, and internal purification. "Happiness is within ourselves. Peace is within ourselves. And unhappiness is from outside." "It is said that in life, when we walk... beside you is walking your death. You can see it is like the shadow, the shadow of your body." Swami Anand Arun leads an evening satsang, exploring the sources of happiness and unhappiness through analogies and stories. He uses the parable of a couple's 50-year misunderstanding over a piece of bread to illustrate how unspoken resentments act as a poison, stored in the Viśuddhi (purification) chakra. The talk connects this to the myth of Shiva consuming the cosmic poison, advocating for forgiveness, clear communication, and daily pranayama to purify this negative energy and prevent physical and emotional ailments.
