A spiritual discourse on human disconnection, the energy of the natural world, and yogic anatomy. "We don’t know where our roots are. We have no roots now." "Yoga is this: first, open your heart, open your feelings, and just say, 'How are you?'" A teacher addresses an audience, lamenting the modern loss of roots and familial connection, contrasting it with the communal love observed in animals. He shifts to explaining the body's energy centers (chakras), using the Mūlādhāra and Svādhiṣṭhāna chakras as examples, weaving in mythological stories about Gaṇeśa and a crocodile to symbolize inner struggles. He emphasizes practical techniques like walking barefoot on earth or sand to connect with natural energy and concludes with a healing mantra.

These are three, according to yogic science. Balance, complete." Swami Paramananda addresses a temple gathering, invited to speak on yoga. He presents a cosmological view of yoga's origin from Anant Brahmāṇḍ (infinite universes), sound (Nāda), and the self-manifested Śiva. He explains the traditional concept of 8.4 million life forms and argues for a vegetarian diet to attain higher consciousness.

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep. Satsang is the train that will bring us to our destination. The path is very difficult - but it is very easy and relaxed if you have understanding. Try not to destroy someone. Bring the ocean of immortality instead. Sweet words remove troubles.

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Siva's divine shakti always protect us with Maha mritju jaya mantra. If you have problems sing Prabu Deep Niranjan saba dukkha banyan mantra. Our dress should be proper and clean to express our respect for others not for our ego. Our culture is according to our climate. The best ointment to our eyes is the name of Gurudev. According to Mangilalji humans will be the cause of Mahapralaya but spiritual people will go to Brahmaloka before it. We destroy our earth by cutting many trees and digging out mines. We make very much pollution to the environment and slaughtering many animals to eat. Not scientists but normal people can save the world. Where there is a will there is the way.

Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Vishwaguruji explains the bhajan Chaddarya Jhini Re Jhini of the saint Sri Kabirdas. We should purify ourselves. For that, we need to go through Tapasya - austerities. If we give milk to the snake it will turn into poison. If someone eats meat and you are intimate with this person, it is like you were eating. Keep yourself pure, reach the state of suddha, purity.

A satsang reflecting on the glory of past saints and the nature of true devotion. "Gurujī said, 'Do not write anything confidential on a letter.'" "If they ate all the butter... my cow is with me. The cow is still right here. Feed her with good feed, and milk... you can get as butter more and more fresh." The speaker, likely a disciple, shares stories illustrating the miraculous nature and profound devotion of saints like Devpurījī and his own Gurujī, Mādhvānandjī. He recounts personal anecdotes, including Gurujī's long walks to visit devotees and a governor's reverence for him, to emphasize that the essence of bhakti is an internal, living practice. He cautions against overly relying on recordings or texts, using the analogy of a cow that continually gives milk to explain that sincere devotion itself is the perennial source of spiritual wealth.

Morning satsang

A spiritual discourse on the nature of the soul, creation, and Śiva. "There is one who is not born from a mother and not from a father. Only that one can be called an incarnation, and that one is called Svayambhū." "We all are one. It doesn't matter, the human or reptilian or the birds or any. There is a soul, jīva. 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. Using the metaphor of the ocean and water cycle, he describes the singular soul within all life forms, discusses karma, and emphasizes the power of speech through a parable about the tongue and teeth.

An evening satsang on the illusory nature of time and the urgency of spiritual practice. "In reality, there is no time. Who created time? Animals do not count it. We humans made time." "Use it or lose it. This was my mantra, and so I was practicing. Till now, I am 103 years, I am still like this." The lecturer leads the discourse, exploring the human construct of time and its unstoppable flow. He shares parables, including one of a Himalayan rishi who learns his vast knowledge is but a handful of sand compared to the whole, and another of a yogi whose pride ruins his sādhanā. The key theme is that our limited time must be used for sincere practice and humility, lest it be lost. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic
