A spiritual discourse on the soul's journey, karma, and human practice.

"So we come as a human in this world, and then we are searching for the door to mokṣa, liberation. But when the chance comes, we take the hand away and scratch somewhere, meaning desires." Swami Paramporul delivers a teaching on the eternal journey of the soul (jīvātmā), explaining its nature through metaphor and scripture. He discusses the body as a vehicle or bungalow where the divine resides, the importance of controlling the senses and emotions like jealousy, and the role of yoga, prāṇāyāma, and diet in purification.

Morning Satsang with Vishwaguruji from Vep, Hungary. Regardless whether you understand bhajans or not, the resonance awakens spirituality in you.

Shabda means sound, words. In the Gurukul, the warrior students learnt all mantras for archery. By the power of these mantras the arrow goes straight to where the sound of the tiger came from. Vishwaguruji explains the karmic sin of King Dasharatha, father of God Rama.

A devotional hymn and discourse on the supreme importance of the Guru's grace. "What is the use of a beautiful form, a virtuous wife, glorious fame, or wealth as immense as Mount Meru, if the mind is not attached to the lotus feet of the Guru?" "What is the use of fame that has spread in all directions, of being a lord who bestows boons... if your mind is not attached to the lotus feet of the Guru?" The video features a sung Sanskrit hymn that rhetorically questions the value of all worldly and spiritual attainments—including family, wealth, scholarship, fame, and power—without devotion to the Guru. This is followed by devotional invocations praising the Guru as the savior and ultimate refuge. Accompanying remarks analyze the text's repetitive structure and logical focus on Guru devotion as the singular essential prerequisite.

And that mantra is the pillar of the devotion." Swami Ji addresses a gathering, weaving teachings on yoga, contentment (śāntoṣa), and desire with personal anecdotes and humor.
