An evening satsang on the purpose of human life and the path to spiritual liberation. "Everything in this world is possible easily, but it is rare to come to satsaṅg or spiritual activities." "Spirituality is purity, clarity, pure consciousness, pure mind, pure thoughts, pure behaviors. Purity is very important." The lecturer addresses an audience, welcoming them as fortunate souls in the Kali Yuga. He explores the unique value of human birth, urging self-inquiry and the cultivation of divine qualities like love and tolerance over mere intellectual knowledge. He discusses overcoming unhealthy dependencies, the nature of true love, and the ultimate goal of realizing the divine consciousness within, touching on concepts of karma, chakras, and non-duality.

Time and destiny, Melbourne

Every saint or holy incarnation has to go through certain experiences in life. Even God has to go through particular situaions. Does God have a destiny? The life of Jesus - he had to go through many hard situations in his life. Was this his destiny or was him given a task to go trough? 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. Recorded in Melbourne, Australia.

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.

The Nature of the Knower and the Self
6:45 - 7:20 (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.

7:25 - 8:03 (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 real marriage
8:10 - 9:03 (53 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. We don't know a lot about Sri Alakhpuriji. We know Sri Devpuruji's deeds well. Deva means God. The name reflects the whole life. Spirituality, purity of heart is more important than gold. What does it mean to be human? What did it mean to get married in the old days? Marriage was forever, the husband worked long hours and the wife could stay at home with the child. Young people did not marry before the age of 25. The story of the Indian couple who stayed together for 50 years. Today parents often leave their children.
We are full of resonance

Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are many Gods but finally, there are all one. Our soul is circling in the universe like water in the earth. The story about how can some seeds öf grain remain unbroken. Who is going to the Satsang they can reach the Supreme. Sometimes we see the karma but don't do that. Man saints past away but their name remained with us. Holiguruji was very lovely and strict for those persons who were around him. Holiguruji knew if somebody criticises him the bad karma went to that man. Diving to the ocean we can hear the beautiful sound and we hear this also if we plug our ears. Viswaguruji blows the conch three times for the honour of Holiguruji.
The Imperative of Daily Practice
10:10 - 10:49 (39 min)
Recorded on
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

Devik shakti
11:45 - 12:15 (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.

He concludes by relating the cycle of rebirth to the modern concept of recycling. Filming location: Brisbane, Australia

A Swami addresses a gathering, weaving together cosmology, ethics, and personal anecdote.

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.
