A spiritual discourse on taming the restless mind using a parable from Gurudeva. "Our mind is chanchal. Chanchal means very restless, and that is normal for a human mind, but you need to learn how to train and tame your mind." "In the same way, our minds are very restless, running around. We should just let it go; that is its job, to roam around and have thoughts continuously. Then, slowly, slowly, train your mind towards Guru Bhakti." A speaker recounts Gurudeva's parable of a king's untamable horse and the patient trainer who tamed it through gentle, persistent companionship and reward. The story serves as an analogy for taming the restless mind through devotion to the Guru and the path of Bhakti, rather than forceful suppression. The session concludes with the guided recitation and explanation of a Sanskrit mantra focused on meditating on the Supreme Self within the heart. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A spiritual discourse on the importance of discernment in seeking a true guru, illustrated with cautionary tales. "Sometimes we just follow people by seeing their work, but not by understanding what they really are doing, and we follow blindly." "It’s very important to find a real Satguru Dev, because nowadays, as we know, it’s Kali Yuga, and in Kali Yuga people are not so nice as they were once upon a time." A speaker addresses a gathering, warning against blind faith in the spiritual search. He emphasizes the necessity of finding a genuine guru from an authentic lineage, contrasting this with self-serving imposters. He shares two parables: one about a blind sadhu whose devotional offering is eaten by a cat, leading to an unexamined ritual tradition, and another about a deceitful, nose-less fake guru who exploits disciples. The core message is to seek clarity, ask questions, and avoid following teachings without understanding. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A spiritual lecture on Kuṇḍalinī, chakras, and the purpose of human life. "Yoga is the science of body, mind, consciousness, and soul. Yoga without spirituality is like a body without a soul." "Chakra is that which is purifying our body, mind, and consciousness. Chakra has to be purified through practice of mantra, prayers, or some yogic kriyās. Then the kuṇḍalinī will awake." The teacher continues a multi-day seminar, delving into the nature of human consciousness through the lens of Kuṇḍalinī energy and the chakra system. He explains the five layers of the body (kośas), the persistence of karma using an analogy of salt in water, and the symbolism of the Mūlādhāra chakra—its red color, lotus imagery, and four petals representing the four aims of life: dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa. The discourse expands into themes of universal love, friendship, and living in the world with detachment, like a lotus in water. Filming location: Australia

Swamiji in Sliac, 3rd April 2007.

A discourse on Kundalini yoga, destiny, and spiritual wisdom. "Kundalini is the Śakti, the power that directs our life. It is the dormant energy within our consciousness, connected to certain physical centers in the body." "Destiny is the product of your own actions. No one is there to be blamed. You are only yourself responsible for your destiny." Swami Satyananda Saraswati explains the nature of Kundalini as a dormant serpent power and its connection to personal destiny, which is shaped by past karma. He emphasizes the importance of acting with awareness of deśa (place) and kāla (time/circumstances) to achieve harmony and avoid problems. The talk explores the symbolism of the snake as both time/death and spiritual energy, concluding that self-realization frees one from destiny's power. Filming location: Kranj, Slovenia
