Lecture from Vep, Hungary, 2001

A discourse on the nature of the Kali Yuga and the power of the divine name. "Kali Yuga is Kriyā Yuga. Kriyā Yuga means Karma Yuga. Karma is primary." "Kali yuga kevala nāma ādhāra, sumira sumira nara hoi bhava pāra. (In the Kali Yuga, the name alone is the foundation; by repeating, repeating, a person crosses the ocean of existence.)" Swami Maheshwarananda explains that the Kali Yuga is an age dominated by action (karma), but its true foundation is the repetition of God's name, as stated by Tulsidas. He shares a personal memory of his Guru appearing to him at the Strelky ashram and narrates a Puranic story about the sage Vishvamitra to illustrate the supreme value of satsang. The talk emphasizes that diligent spiritual practice (purushartha) is essential, yet liberation comes from anchoring oneself in the divine name. Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

A spiritual discourse on cultivating inner peace through faith, surrender, and overcoming inner obstacles. "One who is always under divine shelter is safe. But how does one come under God's shelter?" "If you have peace within, you can bring peace outside. Without inner peace, you cannot." The speaker delivers a satsang, weaving together devotional songs, parables, and teachings to explore the path to inner peace. He discusses the necessity of true surrender and faith in God, illustrated by a story of an atheist climber. Using examples from Gandhi and analyses of inner fires like anger and desire, he explains how peace is developed through prayer, meditation, and purifying negative qualities like rāga (attachment) and krodha (anger). The talk emphasizes that world peace begins with individual inner peace. Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

A spiritual discourse on the nature of God, human divinity, and traditional wisdom. "A child asks a mother or father, 'What is the horizon? How far is it?' Have you ever reached or gone to the horizon?" "Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said to Arjuna: both are good, Nirākāra and Sākāra, the formless and with form. But he said, for you, Arjuna, it is easier to worship in form." Swami Anand Arun explores the concepts of formless (Nirākāra) and personal (Sākāra) divinity, using the analogy of the unreachable horizon. He discusses the path of worship, the significance of divine forms and symbols in Hindu tradition, and the importance of sacred language and human relationships. The talk connects these themes to the science of the cakras, the significance of Vedic rituals like marriage, and the practical application of yoga and speech in daily life. Filming location: USA

Ashram leads a discourse from Vienna, explaining yoga as a scientific path for harmony that connects the individual to the entire cosmos.

Satsang with Swamiji from Wellington, NZ. With the cleanness of our house we can see our inner condition. How we are keeping the ashram or the house in order, with this we can see our love and devotion. We can see if everything is in beauty. It is our inner beauty, the inner pureness, our inner clarity which is reflecting there. Doubts, desires and hidden wishes we did not clean up are spoiling our mind. If we are neglecting our sadhana, our duties, then tamas guna, the laziness takes over. It will grow more and more and we will find every self excuse for our mental pollution. Self enquiry meditation, which is taught in the Yoga in Daily life Yoga classes will help to clear up the question - not who am I but how am I. We have to search within, how is our inner world and how is our inner condition. Translation of the bhajan: Jag musafir dekh vo.

International Conference "Yoga For Welness". Organized by Indian Ministry of Ayush, Government of India in New Delhi, India.

A spiritual discourse exploring divine play, devotion, and karma through storytelling. "His friends were called gopas, what we call disciples or friends. And his female disciples are known as gopīs." "There is no power in the entire universe that can tie me, or close me, or stop me. But there is only one power that I cannot break, and that is love." The lecturer narrates the pastime of young Krishna being bound by a "rope of love" to illustrate God's voluntary surrender to pure devotion. He expands on the theme by explaining the protective power of a guru-given mantra and mala, and recounts a detailed karmic parable about a leper, a donation of ghee, and a storekeeper's theft to underscore the law of cause and effect. The talk concludes with reflections on truthfulness and a brief linguistic note. Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand
