Recorded on
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. The talk blends stern guidance with humorous anecdotes about foraging for mushrooms and enjoying coffee, concluding with a promotion of the health benefits of Bārikhātu Praṇām.

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 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.

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."

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.

We are the cause of Mahapralaya

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.
