A spiritual discourse on the meaning and practice of a specific mantra. "Oṃ, the Uncreated Body. It is not referring to the physical body. It is pointing to the body of Consciousness, the body of Awareness, the body of Being." "When we chant this mantra, we are not invoking something outside of ourselves. We are recognising and affirming our true nature." A teacher provides a detailed commentary on the mantra "Oṃ Aki Rāchanā Śarīra," explaining its meaning as a pointer to the eternal, unchanging Self or Awareness beyond the physical form. He instructs listeners on how to chant it as a practice of self-recognition and disidentification from the body-mind, describing it as the subjective space of pure knowing.

A poor one has good hearth. Gurudev, give me bhakti - that is like a rocket to heaven for the Jiva.

Recorded on
A cooking demonstration on preparing Marwa-style gāṭṭā kadhi, chapati, and regional vegetables. "When I was thinking about how to explain or show the gāṭṭā... it came to my mind that it is like the attachment of this world. When we touch the besan dough, it sticks very quickly. Then we use the oil of wisdom, which gets rid of the attachment." "The Marwa kitchen has very, very delicious food—spicy, tasty, healthy, and very natural. The people living there eat only regional food. They know the leaves and fruits growing in their area." The speaker guides viewers through making kadhi with chickpea flour dumplings (gāṭṭā), using the sticky dough as a metaphor for worldly attachment. The process includes preparing the dough with yogurt and spices, boiling and testing the gāṭṭā, and making chapati.

Just reading does not help us. We should change ourself inside, otherwise, time is lost. The realisation of Atma Gyana (Self-knowledge) takes more time.
