Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Moon is one of the Siva's symbols. Married couples have also that symbol of the moon on their head. In the Indian wedding ceremony, the female represents the Moon and the mail represents the Sun. Movements are in the nerve system to balance the Sun and Moon energy in the body in a serpent way. Snake is a symbol of its kind of movement. The Earth is held by a snake inbalance. When it moves a little there are many problems. Water and fire can not exist without each other. Practising kriya helps us to manifest our real human qualities. The story about two brothers who have educated themselves in different directions. In every petal of our chakras, there is a certain energy in it. Our roots are in the navel. In every chakra there is resonance. When we chant OM our tongue shouldn't move.

Recorded on
An evening satsang on the nature of vikāra (modifications) and the light of true knowledge. "Vikāra is also in everyone. It is not easy to remove the vikāra. Physical vikāra is physical vikāra, and the mental vikāras are mental vikāras." "Jñāna is one of the best protectors for our life... what to do and what not to do." The lecturer leads a discourse exploring the physical and mental modifications that affect human beings. He discusses the anatomy of the body as vikāra, and the mental vikāras like anger, jealousy, and ego that lie dormant in the intellect. Using analogies like popcorn to describe anger and a story of a yogi and a skeptical scientist, he emphasizes the role of true wisdom (jñāna) and spiritual practice in overcoming these impurities. The talk concludes with a bhajan. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A Guru Purnima discourse on the essence of the Guru principle and spiritual practice. "We have two Gurus. One is our Gurudev in saguṇa svarūpa, in a physical body... The second is nirguṇa, that is within ourself; the same Gurudev is within." "So Holy Gurujī answered, 'In Ahmedabad, I was with Gurujī... When your mother comes, which temptation do you have? When your sister comes, what kind of temptation do you have?... So why don't you awaken that kind of thought in you, in which form you want to see?'" A spiritual teacher delivers a satsang on Guru Purnima, exploring the dual nature of the Guru as both formless consciousness and physical guide. He discusses purifying the mind through sacred perception—seeing others as mother, sister, or daughter—to transform energy and dissolve ego. The talk weaves in teachings on the Nātha lineage, the power of Guru's words as divine nectar, and the necessity of surrendering the heart to achieve equal vision and liberation.

A spiritual discourse on dharma, sādhanā, and the essence of scripture. "Dharma means rightness—the dharma of humans, animals, nature, seasons, husband, wife, children, friends, and neighbors. It is not about worshipping separate gods." "The essence of all these scriptures is contained in just two words: 'Śuk diyā śuk hot hai, aur duk diyā duk hoī.' If you give pleasure to others, you will receive pleasure. If you give trouble to others, you will receive trouble." Swami Satyāśāntānanda delivers a teaching, contrasting superficial yoga techniques with the higher path of sādhanā. He defines true dharma as universal righteousness beyond religious division, emphasizing satsaṅg and the study of saints' lives.

He critiques superficial academic approaches to yoga while paradoxically advocating for establishing yoga in universities.
