All creatures feel the same feelings as humans. Don't be the cause of pain to any creature. Animals can make mistakes but we are human. The first god is the mother. Where there is water, there is God. Respect the vegetation and the rain. First happiness is good health. Saints are here for the sake of all creatures - but you will liberate yourself.

A yoga teacher's discourse on diet, discipline, and modern food adulteration. "Yoga is a practical path. As we always say, someone stated, 'Tons of theory is nothing without a grain of practice.'" "So, we are against nature. And nature takes revenge. What we eat is manipulated." The lecturer addresses yoga teachers and students, emphasizing that instructors must embody the practice to inspire others. He identifies diet as the primary obstacle, detailing the widespread adulteration of modern foods like milk, bread, and dairy with chemicals, animal by-products, and harmful substances. He advocates for minimizing consumption, mastering the sense of taste, and maintaining disciplined practice, illustrated by a story of a disciple who regained health through strict adherence. The talk concludes with a practical challenge to perfect Paścimottānāsana and an encouragement to begin dietary discipline immediately. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

"Yoga means uniting, union... which unites the consciousness and space." The speaker delivers a wide-ranging talk, beginning with the chanting of Nārāyaṇa. He discusses the nature of Brahman, the human body, and the five living elements (space, air, fire, water, earth) as manifestations of the divine. He defines yoga as the union of consciousness and space, preceding even Śiva. The talk covers the significance of Agni (fire) in various forms, the Vedic science behind marriage rituals and astrology, and concludes with a story about Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī testing a devotee's true loyalty, illustrating the allure of prosperity (Lakṣmī) over pure devotion.

An evening satsang discourse on the essence and power of mantra. "A mantra is like a seed. When we put a seed in the ground, it grows into a plant or a tree. The mantra is that seed." "Holy Gurujī always used to say... 'Man' means mind. 'Tra' means trāpti... contentment. 'Man' and 'tṛpti' means liberation." Swamiji explains the foundational concept of mantra as a spiritual seed that branches into various yoga paths like kīrtan, bhajan, and bhakti. He critiques modern materialism and loss of traditional wisdom, using anecdotes about waste and a greedy bird to illustrate the restless, untamed mind that mantra is meant to pacify.

If your mālā has some value for you, you will keep it in a safe place... Because of that, you will, from your mālā, get energy when you need it." A speaker leads a satsang, emphasizing the profound impact of words, gestures, and intention. He discusses how language shapes reality, using examples from addressing others to serving food and respecting spiritual objects like a mala.

The teacher shares stories and practical advice for dealing with internal struggles, emphasizing not to suppress fears but to face them with awareness and humor.

Mahāmudāleśwar Swāmī Chidambaranand Saraswatī Ji Mahārāj, with translation by Swāmī Niranjanānandaji, explains the dichotomy between the worldly path of suffering and the spiritual path to bliss.

How to think of black magic

A satsang discourse debunking fear-based beliefs around black magic and ghosts through storytelling. "People are very much frightened.

God will never do anything negative for us." Swami Ji narrates two cautionary tales to illustrate how fear and superstition are exploited. The first story tells of a village magician who manipulates a grieving widow, and the second describes a 'ghost' that turns out to be a moonlit chimney. He emphasizes that true spiritual practice, such as having a Guru Mantra and faith, offers protection, concluding that it is one's own fear, not external forces, that causes suffering.

Narada cursed Vishnu
20:15 - 20:58 (43 min)

A narration of the mythological story of Nārada's curse upon Lord Viṣṇu, followed by a discourse on its spiritual meaning. "You made me a monkey, and I tell you, when you will be in great trouble, only the monkey will help you, nobody else." "The merciful Lord said, 'Nārada, that was all My icchā. It was My will.'" The speaker recounts how the sage Nārada, enraged after being tricked by Viṣṇu's illusion (māyā), confronts the Lord to curse Him. In his anger, Nārada pronounces a curse that Viṣṇu will incarnate as Rāma, suffer separation from His wife, and be aided by monkeys. Viṣṇu accepts the curse, explaining it was His own divine will, and later dissolves the illusion. A remorseful Nārada seeks forgiveness, and Viṣṇu promises to give him a liberating Kriyā. The talk includes a tangential account of the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan) to illustrate Nārada's accusations. Filming location: Vép, Hungary

An opening talk at a spiritual seminar addressing the absence of the guru and the purpose of gathering. "People are always complaining, 'Oh, Kali Yuga is not good, Kali Yuga is a terrible time.' But if you know how to utilize it, Kali Yuga is also excellent." "We need to be like a Paramahaṁsa... We should be like that. In this world, we have so many things... we should be like the Haṁsa: take the pearls, take the milk, and leave the water." A senior disciple addresses the assembled spiritual family at the Vép seminar, acknowledging the physical absence of Viśvagurūjī. He reframes the gathering as a vital opportunity to recharge, strengthen spiritual family bonds, and deepen personal practice. Key themes include extracting the essence from the Kali Yuga, the necessity of a supportive community for sādhanā, and using the seminar for introspection, mauna (silence), and focused practice of āsana and prāṇāyāma to calm the mind.
