Recorded on
A satsang discourse on the integral and demanding path of Haṭha Yoga. "If you practice Bhakti Yoga, that is also Haṭha Yoga inside, because you must maintain your devotion continuously; it should not decrease but increase." "So, bhakti yoga cannot be successful without haṭha yoga. And then it must be what we call the real devotion. That is a test. The heart has to be very pure." The speaker explains that true spiritual devotion (bhakti) requires the steadfastness and discipline of Haṭha Yoga, using analogies of an airplane's smooth ascent and the steady flight of a swan contrasted with a noisy crow. He illustrates this with a story of a young girl, Karmabai, whose forceful and pure devotion compelled Lord Krishna to accept her offering, demonstrating that genuine love demands unwavering resolve. The talk concludes that all yoga paths are included within this disciplined approach. Filming location: Vép, Hungary

A spiritual discourse on the paradox of vairāgya (dispassion) and renunciation. "You are the luckiest ones, for you have not yet attained Self-Realization. After Realization, life is completely different." "Without satsaṅg (holy company), there is no vairāgya. You cannot attain vairāgya without satsaṅg." Swami Madhavananda (Devpuriji) leads a satsang exploring the difficult nature of true dispassion. He explains that vairāgya is essential for a renunciate but warns it is fragile without the support of spiritual community. Using teachings from Shankaracharya and a detailed parable about a king, a magical fruit, and a chain of betrayals, he illustrates how worldly attachments prevent liberation and how profound disappointment can itself become a catalyst for renunciation.
