A satsang talk reflecting on spiritual transformation and the grace of the Guru. "In yoga, it is very important to understand the concepts of Kāla and Deśa. This means that each era has its own appropriate way of behavior, and each place is different." "What we learn from Viśva Gurujī is not only āsanas... but that we need to be flexible in our hearts and minds." A speaker addresses the gathering after a Guru Purnima celebration, exploring how the essence of yoga remains constant while adapting across time and place. He shares stories illustrating the Guru's foresight, like predicting currency changes in Croatia, and emphasizes the transformative power of dedicated practice and being physically present in the ashram's energy. The talk uses metaphors like a spoon in honey to describe receptivity to grace and lighthouses for the role of ashrams. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A discourse on Advaita Vedanta and the nature of the Self, based on Śaṅkarācārya's teachings. "This body is full of vikāra. Some have a cough, some a cold, some have lung problems... But Ātman is not born; there is no change in your Ātman, and it will not die either." "If you have no form, what can death do to you?... You are Avināśī. So if you are Avināśī, no one can destroy you, no one can take you away; then why are you afraid?" The speaker expounds on the true nature of the Self (Ātman) as distinct from the body, explaining key Sanskrit terms: Nirvikāra (free from decay/impurity), Nirākāra (formless), Nirmala (pure), and Avināśī (immortal). He emphasizes that identifying with the eternal, formless Self, rather than the impermanent body, is the path to overcoming fear, disease, and sorrow. The talk integrates scriptural commentary, practical advice like breath awareness and Self-inquiry, and concludes with the realization of the Self as all-pervading (Vyāpaka) consciousness.

He explains the Vedic concept of creation from sound (Aum) and the elemental evolution from space to earth. The discourse covers the oneness of all life, the unique potential of human intellect, and the importance of education in human values, tolerance, and understanding. He concludes by relating the cycle of rebirth to the modern concept of recycling. Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

A discourse on the spiritual message of the Satguru, using a bhajan for reflection. "Only the disciple whose antahkaraṇa (inner instrument) is pure will understand the indications Gurudev gives." "Whatever is said by the Guru comes to truth." A spiritual teacher unpacks the bhajan "Sandeśa," explaining how a Satguru's guidance, though sometimes difficult to accept, is a divine message meant for the disciple's ultimate liberation. He uses analogies of medicine, social education, and protection from negative influences (Ku-saṅga) to describe the process of purifying one's qualities to receive and understand the Guru's word (Guruvākya), which awakens the soul.

A spiritual discourse on the two fundamental forces of the universe, Devīśakti and Āsurīśakti. "Both forces, Devīśakti and Āsurīśakti, exist. Devīśakti is positive power, and Āsurīśakti is negative power. But the origin of both is one: God Himself." "Thus, Devīśakti and Āsurīśakti develop. The part of the power, the energy gathered in negative qualities, day by day, will become Āsurīśakti, and the positive forces will become Devīśakti." The speaker explains the cosmic duality of divine and negative powers, both emanating from a single divine source. He describes how an individual's path—toward development or destruction—is influenced by their company (saṅga). The talk covers the three types of suffering (Tri-Tāpa), the importance of the Guru's grace for protection, and the significance of the Navarātri festival dedicated to the Divine Mother, or cosmic Śakti.

A direct address to yoga students on the necessity of disciplined daily practice for physical and mental purification. "Practicing means at home—here you only learn. Practicing for just one week is ineffective; it must be a continuous, daily process." "We must become sāttvic. Where the body is sāttvic, there is no vikāra. Vikāra exists in the mind as well." Swami Avatarpuri (Swāmījī) leads a satsang, critiquing the lack of consistent practice among attendees. He stresses that health through daily āsana, prāṇāyāma, and seasonal cleansing techniques like Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the essential foundation for spirituality. He expands on the concepts of vikāra (impurity/illness) and the guṇas, urging a transformation in diet (āhār), recreation (vihār), behavior (ācār), and thought (vicār). The talk includes practical instructions, responses to questions about cleansing practices, and a call for teachers to become examples of yogic health. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Swamiji introduces MM Swami Jasraj Puri and explaines in great detail what means Mahamandaleshwar and Akkhara. Ashram: A means welcome, Shram means work. Ashram means: Come to work here on your body, mind, consciousness and realisation. Space is the endless glory of God. We don't know where is the beginning or the end. We are limited. The endless space is like a mother, the cosmic consciousness. Between space and consciousness is Yoga shakti. Yoga is balancing, harmonising and uniting. God is manifested in the form of vibration, sound, resonance - OM - Everything comes from that and merges in that. Yogis are meditating on that. The aim of human life is to help, to serve, to support others and selfrealisation. The human life is a precious diamant but we will not get it again and again. Translation of the bhajan: Sadho bhai ab kyu karo the moro. Recorded in Melbourne, Australia.

A satsang discourse on the guru's grace, destiny, and the power of surrender. "Even the guru can change destiny, because there is no higher law than the guru’s law." "Since the day I told Swāmījī, 'I surrender, do what you want,' I am in peace." A speaker, likely a senior disciple, addresses the gathering following morning prayers. He discusses the validity of Vedic sciences like astrology (Jyotish) but emphasizes the supreme power of the guru's grace to alter destiny, illustrating this with a traditional parable about a guru changing the fate of two royal children. He shares personal anecdotes of learning to obey the guru's guidance, concluding that true peace comes from complete surrender to the guru's will, allowing him to manage one's life and mitigate karma.

A spiritual discourse addressing imitation, authentic wisdom, and the importance of satsaṅg. "Imitation is stealing. It is not truth, but imitation." "If the butter has been eaten by all these other writers... they ate only the butter; they did not eat the cow. So, milk the cow." The lecturer speaks on the prevalence of imitation in the material and spiritual worlds, using examples from currency counterfeiting to plagiarized scriptures. He recounts a parable where a disciple laments that all wisdom has been taken by past saints, and Gurujī's response is to use the intellect (the cow) with devotion to produce fresh wisdom. The talk emphasizes generating original spiritual insight, warns against bad company (ku-saṅga), and concludes with an explanation of a bhajan by Mahāprabhujī about losing one's way by leaving the Guru's shelter.

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Auckland, New Zealand.

A discourse on the practice and philosophy of Mānasik Pūjā, or mental worship. "Many people ask questions: how to meditate, what to imagine... So, the best solution is Mānasik Pūjā. When you perform the mental ceremony, you come out of your meditation full of strength, energy, love, and clarity." "Imagine that you are in the seva of your iṣṭadevatā... For this much time mentally, you are together. You are with it, and then you also get prasāda... This is a beautiful mānasik pūjā." The lecturer addresses devotees from an ashram in Vienna, explaining the concept and technique of mental worship of one's chosen deity (Iṣṭadevatā). He describes it as a solution to the emptiness that can arise in other forms of meditation, detailing how to mentally perform services like bathing, dressing, and offering food to the divine form. He shares a personal anecdote of his Guruji's disciplined practice and emphasizes that this internal seva cultivates love, dispels negative emotions, and reflects the divine light present in every heart.

A closing discourse on integrating spiritual awareness into daily life, from sleep to nourishment. "In deep sleep, you know nothing of being a millionaire or a beggar. In deep sleep, you know nothing of whether you are sick or healthy." "Therefore, before going to sleep, one says to God: 'What I have done all day... I offer all the fruits of my actions. Lord, forgive me if there was anything not good.'" Swami Avatarpuri concludes a seminar by guiding attendees through a sacred daily rhythm. He explains the unity experienced in deep sleep, followed by prayers upon waking and mindful practices with water, air, and earth. The talk emphasizes gratitude, the divinity in natural elements, and the importance of offering one's actions. He details a spiritual approach to nourishment, advocating for fresh, whole foods and traditional preparation, linking physical health to inner peace and meditation. Filming location: Austria
