Recorded on
A detailed yoga class instruction covering śalabhāsana, sarvāṅgāsana, and prāṇāyāma. "Śalabhāsana, being a backward bend that requires strong muscles, works very well on our self-confidence. It strengthens the sense of power and vitality." "In this posture, simply allow one subtle, extended exhalation. This posture works on unburdening the heart, so less pumping is needed to nourish the brain." An instructor guides students through a sequence of āsanas, including śalabhāsana (locust pose) variations, sarvāṅgāsana (shoulderstand), and halāsana (plow pose), explaining their physical and energetic benefits.

Recorded on
A satsang discourse using a parable to illustrate the guru's role and the disciple's responsibility. "The saints are there to give us that light, to illuminate our path. The Guru provides the light so we can continue our journey more safely." "But simultaneously, if we do not apply the brakes of self-discipline and engage in the practices he gives, then that light is of limited use." The speaker shares a story of a saint offering a light to a speeding motorcyclist who has no brakes, using it as an analogy for spiritual guidance. He explains that the living tradition, or parampara, provides the illuminating light of wisdom through self-realized masters, but disciples must also practice self-discipline. The talk highlights how teachings evolve across generations while preserving their essence, referencing figures like Mahaprabhuji, Guruji, and Swamiji. Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

Try to sweep out all the negative vrittis; then you will become free from Duhkha." A speaker addresses the satsang gathering, exploring the fundamental human pursuit of happiness (Sukha) and freedom from sorrow (Duhkha). He explains that these states originate from within, cultivated by our positive or negative thoughts and actions. The talk weaves together teachings on fear, violence (himsa), non-violence (ahimsa), and the ultimate goal of merging individual consciousness with the divine, using the metaphor of a drop returning to the ocean.

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.

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 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.
