Satsang with Vishwaguruji, summer retreat in Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are different levels of our being such as: Atma, Jivatma, consciousness/awareness, mind, emotion, senses, desires, physical body and energy body. There is an inner balancing mechanism to distribute energy to the whole body. With proper inner engineering we should avoid destroying our system. We need healthy seasonal eating and enhanced practice such as Pranayam.

An evening satsang on unity, awareness, and forgiveness. "Whenever Bhaktas come, unite, and sit together, that is Dīvālī, that is Christmas." "More than anything, there is forgiveness. When we forgive people for what they have done, it's not for them, it's for us." A swami addresses a full hall, emphasizing the power of collective devotion to transform the age. He discusses the importance of awareness in daily life, using personal anecdotes about zoning out while driving and reducing phone use. He stresses that selfless service (seva) requires devotion (bhava) and explains unity through the metaphor of beads on a thread of Guru Bhakti. He shares a story from the Ramayana about a dog seeking justice to illustrate forgiveness and the dangers of ego, concluding with teachings on living in the present and protecting dharma.

A spiritual discourse on the journey of the soul through birth, death, and karma. "Our soul—not the Ātmā, but the soul... the soul is individual, not universal." "Only two will follow us: our good or bad karmas. And that becomes destiny. And against destiny we have no power." A spiritual teacher explains the nature of the individual soul (Jīvātmā) as a wave of the universal resonance. He describes its journey through time, bound by karma, its entry into a physical body, and the rare opportunity of human birth. He emphasizes the inescapable law of karma governed by body, mind, speech, and wealth, and concludes that liberation comes through spiritual practice and the Guru's grace, which dissolves the soul back into the Supreme.

A spiritual discourse reflecting on the Kumbh Mela and warning against false spiritual powers. "If you bathe during that constellation, the nectar still has an effect on you—meaning it cleans your karmas and blesses you with immortality." "There is no austerity more than truth. To follow the truth is the biggest austerity, tapasyā—and no greater sin than to lie." Swami Avatarpuri begins by describing his profound experience at the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, taking a sacred bath for all devotees. He then shifts to a cautionary theme, recounting stories of Holy Guruji exposing fraudulent fortune tellers and so-called healers. He warns devotees against those who claim siddhis (powers) like seeing auras or predicting futures, arguing these are obstacles to true spiritual progress. He advises focusing on genuine devotion and practice, sharing a personal story where Mahaprabhuji counseled him to be like a steadfast banyan tree, free from expectation.

The speaker delivers an evening satsang, weaving together philosophical teachings on attachment (moha) with the story of Shiva, Parvati, and the quest for immortal wisdom.

A discourse on a guru's non-discriminatory teaching methods, using a parable from the Mahabharata. "If yoga is in your blood, then yoga is in your blood. It means it is a home tradition, a home culture." "Masters have equal vision and no differences. If there are differences, then they are not masters." In response to a question about teaching Indians versus Europeans differently, the speaker explains that while foundational knowledge is the same, the method must suit the student's cultural background, like learning to cook at home versus from scratch. He then narrates the story of Eklavya, who, though rejected by the teacher Dronacharya, honored him as his guru from afar and offered his thumb as guru dakshina, illustrating that true teaching and devotion transcend physical presence and formal instruction.
