The speaker, Swami Vivek Puri, shares reflections from a satsang, emphasizing the spiritual power of focusing on one mantra and one form of the guru.

Negative thoughts can destroy everything

Recorded on
An evening satsang on Haṭha Yoga and the teachings of Ṛṣi Patañjali, set in a forest. "The speciality of Ṛṣi Patañjali is 'Ahiṃsā paramodharma.' Ahiṃsā means non-violence. So the greatest dharma is respecting everyone; it is non-violence." "If you have good vṛttis, good thoughts, it does not matter even if you are not practicing. Your positive thinking brings you higher and higher towards Brahman." The speaker delivers a discourse weaving together the wisdom of Patañjali, emphasizing non-violence and the cultivation of positive mental impressions (vṛttis). He uses an anecdote from the Mahākumbha Melā and an analogy of a blighted chestnut tree to illustrate how negative influences, like bad company (kuśaṅga), can attack from the outside. The talk connects these themes to the need for inner purity in spiritual practice and concludes with a group bhajan and a brief mention of Haṭha Yoga techniques like Nauli.

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.
