The Third Eye and the Awakening of the Mūlādhāra Cakra
0:15 - 0:53 (38 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the third eye and the Mūlādhāra Cakra. "The third eye signifies wisdom. All your karmas will be burned, and everything becomes pure." "When we begin to awaken the Mūlādhāra Cakra, it is a wonderful feeling. You feel like you are coming out of darkness, like a seed which was under the earth now begins to sprout." The speaker delivers a teaching on subtle anatomy, beginning with the wisdom of the third eye before focusing on the foundational Mūlādhāra Cakra. Using the symbol's imagery—the lotus, the elephant of prosperity, the coiled serpent of time, and the Śiva Liṅga—they explain the cakra's role as the seat of dormant energy (Śakti) and its awakening as the start of the spiritual journey toward union with supreme consciousness. The talk includes practical spiritual advice, references to Gaṇeśa, and concludes with a chant. Filming location: Umag, Croatia

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.

1:45 - 2:23 (38 min)
Recorded on
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

The Nature of the Knower and the Self
5:40 - 6:15 (35 min)
Recorded on
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.

6:20 - 6:52 (32 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the formless and manifest aspects of the divine. "One is what we can call God, but we cannot see God; it is only God. That is called Nirākāra. Nirākāra means there is no form or posture." "The second is Sākār. Sākār means with a form, like a statue or our body, so that we can worship God." A spiritual teacher delivers a satsang on Guruji's birthday, explaining the concepts of Nirākāra (formless God) and Sākār (God with form). Using examples like Jesus, Krishna, and Buddha, he illustrates how divine incarnations suffer and are often misunderstood. The talk expands to cover creation stories, the cycles of the Yugas, and the importance of righteous living and sādhanā (spiritual practice) in the current Kali Yuga.

Devik shakti
7:00 - 7:30 (30 min)
Recorded on
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.

Swamiji tells episodes from the life of the Sufi master Mansur Al-Hallaj and Hanumanji from the Ramayana. If we have faith - God and we are one - then nothing will happen. When we hold on God's name we will cross the ocean and reach the shore of happiness and peace. Kirtan is the repetition of God's name. The positive vibration will resonance in our whole body and will give positive effects. This will influence our destiny. Guruvakyas, Satsangs, Kirtans and Bhajans are good guidelines in our life.

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.

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."

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.

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.
