A spiritual discourse on the presence of hidden sages and the nature of true spirituality. "Often, at the Kumbh Melā, great sādhus speak of certain saints. Perhaps some are there at the Melā, or perhaps they are deep in the great Himalayas. They do not wish to come to us, yet they know everything." "Holī Gurujī said, 'One in all and all in one.' ... if one from one religion criticizes others, then this is not a true recipient, not a spiritual person." Swami Ji addresses the assembly, describing the great, invisible ṛṣis (sages) who protect humanity from hidden places like Himalayan glaciers. He emphasizes universal oneness, warning that criticizing others reveals one's own negativity, and shares a parable about a guru repeatedly saving a scorpion to illustrate maintaining one's compassionate nature regardless of others' actions.

The session then layers in concentration on specific cakras (like Viśuddhi at the throat and Anāhata at the heart) during the sequence, and finally integrates the practice with the silent repetition of the twelve Sūrya mantras, chanted by a companion.

5:15 - 6:03 (48 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse narrating the story of Pārvatī's resolve to perform tapasyā (austerity) and explaining its power. "Tapasya is the giver of happiness and the remover of all troubles." "Through the power of tapasyā, Brahmā is able to create this world. Through the power of that tapasyā... Viṣṇu is able to protect the world. And through that power of tapasyā, Śiva, is able to destroy all the negative powers." The speaker recounts how Pārvatī, consoling her mother Mēnā, describes a dream in which a Brāhmaṇa instructs her to undertake severe spiritual austerity, affirming the truth of sage Nārada's words. The narrative details the immense power of tapasyā, using the examples of the Hindu trinity and Śeṣanāga, and describes Pārvatī's subsequent journey into the forest for a prolonged, extreme penance to attain Lord Śiva. The discourse frequently shifts to address a modern audience directly, exhorting them to cultivate similar willpower in their own sādhanā (practice) to overcome mental obstacles and attachments.
