Depend on thyself. And thyself means that which gives us our life." Swamiji welcomes attendees to the third seminar at the ashram, reflecting on the history of Střekov Castle. He shares personal stories of dietary experiments and spiritual tests to illustrate the practical application of yoga, emphasizing self-reliance, non-violence (ahiṃsā), and the unity of all spiritual paths.

Evening satsang from Yoga Summer retreat in Vep, Hungary. Where to go? We always want to go somewhere. Where is our house? Story of a soldier in the winter night. The story of God and a bamboo tree. Where is a peaceful place? We should understand Devpuriji's and Mahaprabhuji's miracles. They were Avadhutas. To be with Gurudev and the darshan is very important. Where the light is lit, bugs will go there. Our Parampara is originated from Alakhpuriji from the Satya Yuga. It is very easy to miss the way on the spiritual path.

Swami Ji addresses a gathering, explaining the moon's purifying energy and the power of making vows (saṅkalpa) during auspicious times like the full moon and Navarātrī. He discusses fasting for health and spiritual purposes, shares anecdotes about faith and practice, and relates observances to universal principles of discipline and belief across religions, including Christianity.

The Indian Ambassador to Croatia opens the event with congratulatory remarks, followed by addresses from the president of the international fellowship and a senior Croatian disciple. Paramahamsa Swami Maheshwarananda (Vishwaguruji) then delivers the main discourse. He speaks on the unity of all life, the importance of a sattvic (pure) vegetarian diet, and the necessity of a guru.

A spiritual discourse on the viśuddhi chakra and the symbolism of swallowed poison. "Wish means poison. Wish means poison." "Śiva did not swallow it down; he held this poison in his throat here, and he digested it there... Similarly, we say this: in our throat, there is a poison." The teacher narrates the myth of Śiva drinking the ocean's poison to become Nīlakaṇṭha, using it as a metaphor for the emotional poison swallowed in daily life, such as unexpressed anger or harsh words. This is linked to the viśuddhi (throat) chakra, its purification, and its symbols—the elephant of strength and Brahmā with the Vedas. The talk connects this to broader concepts of the chakra system, kuṇḍalinī, and the necessity of consistent practice over contradictory advice. Filming location: Vancouver, Canada
