A spiritual discourse on the meaning of Guru Pūrṇimā, extending into social commentary on home cooking. "'Gu' is darkness, and 'Ru' is the light. It is that light which dispels darkness."

It is everything that gives you knowledge: how to drive a car... how to cook." The speaker explains the traditional meaning of Guru Pūrṇimā as the journey from darkness to light.

A spiritual discourse on the universal ātmā and the misuse of the label "fanatic." "Every ātmā, each and every entity—where there is life, there is ātmā too." "Do not speak badly.

A spiritual teacher leads a satsang, beginning with the principle that the soul (ātmā) exists in all living beings, advocating for respect for all life. The talk then focuses on refuting the negative label of "fanatic," arguing it is often misapplied to genuine devotion, humility, and non-violence.
