1:05 - 1:44 (39 min)

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).

1:50 - 2:22 (32 min)

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."

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.

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.
