A spiritual discourse on Kuṇḍalinī yoga, consciousness, and the necessity of an authentic master. "Pūrṇālīnī Yoga is a pure spiritual science.

It is that one who removes the darkness of our ignorance and kindles in us the light of wisdom."

He emphasizes the critical role of a genuine guru in a legitimate lineage, warning against modern, commercialized yoga practices.

A keynote address on non-violence, patience, and peace at a World Peace Council conference. "Wrong means will always fetch wrong ends.

If you have a peaceful mind, you live in the present, and when you live in the present, you are happy." Swapnil Kothari, a teacher from India, delivers a speech exploring non-violence as a conscious philosophy, not just a default position. He argues for the primacy of ethical means over ends, asserting that violence breeds violence while non-violence breeds compassion and inner peace.

Life, they are all one." The lecturer speaks at the Yogandī Life center in Vienna on the anniversary of Gurudev Swami Madhavānandajī. He contemplates the concept of incarnation, explaining Śiva as the unmanifest Svayambhū who willed multiplicity into being through the five elements.

A discourse on the spiritual discipline of anuṣṭhāna during a retreat. "You are only here for five days... So what can you think? That you will get mokṣa? That you will get vibrations?" "A proper anuṣṭhāna—I tried once, twice, three times, four times, but I was not successful. That sādhanā lasts all week." Swami Mahaprabhuji addresses retreat participants, using the analogy of a patient disobeying doctor's orders to illustrate the need for strict discipline in practice. He outlines an ideal daily schedule of nine hours of sādhanā, including detailed explanations of nāḍī śodhana (channel purification) through prāṇāyāma, and emphasizes dietary and behavioral simplicity.

A narration of the mythological story of Nārada's curse upon Lord Viṣṇu, followed by a discourse on its spiritual meaning. "You made me a monkey, and I tell you, when you will be in great trouble, only the monkey will help you, nobody else." "The merciful Lord said, 'Nārada, that was all My icchā. It was My will.'" The speaker recounts how the sage Nārada, enraged after being tricked by Viṣṇu's illusion (māyā), confronts the Lord to curse Him. In his anger, Nārada pronounces a curse that Viṣṇu will incarnate as Rāma, suffer separation from His wife, and be aided by monkeys. Viṣṇu accepts the curse, explaining it was His own divine will, and later dissolves the illusion. A remorseful Nārada seeks forgiveness, and Viṣṇu promises to give him a liberating Kriyā.
