A spiritual leader inaugurates and blesses a new sacred grove for satsang. "Our yoga people have been in many, many countries: from India, from here in Europe. And from Europe, many of our bhaktas went to other countries." "I tell you that anytime, if you desire something, if you need something, if something happens, you should come to this place and pray with our mantra. Everything will return to peace and harmony." The speaker, likely Swami Madhavanandji, addresses a gathering at a newly prepared forest satsang site. He emphasizes the sanctity of the place, its rules of entry, and its power for prayer. He reflects on the ashram's history, its global community of devotees, and the transformative impact of their yoga practice, which leads many to give up meat and alcohol. The talk transitions into a search for the ancient saint Alak Puriji, briefly touching upon associated mythology involving Shiva. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

He uses metaphors of a ship and an airplane to illustrate the unity of all life, emphasizing that the soul (ātmā) is in every creature. The core teaching is a call for ahimsa (non-violence), urging humans to not kill other beings for food, contrasting human potential with animal nature.

A spiritual discourse on the nature of the guru, learning, and ultimate unity. "Everyone will arrive at one point. One master, or guru, comes from this side, so there is a different teaching, a different path. From the north, it is different. We are all coming from various directions, but we are descending to the same summit." "So, what should we do? We should eat well, exercise, and then work, so everything. Then we will live a little more. But with that spirituality, then we come to God." The speaker explores the universal student-teacher relationship, emphasizing that the terms guru and master point to the same truth. Using a parable of two brothers—one highly educated and one a simple devotee of Shiva—he illustrates that formal learning and spiritual devotion are different paths, with the latter granting profound grace, as shown by the younger brother walking on water. The talk weaves in themes of the five elements, the humility of birth and death, and the ultimate unity of all religions and beings, like drops merging into an ocean.

Awakening of muladhar
5:15 - 5:57 (42 min)
Recorded on
Chakras are energy centers where consciousness resides, defining character and problems. Your destiny (prārabdha) is created by past karma before your body forms. You control your present karma through action, speech, thought, and influence, but once acted upon, deeds become destiny governing future life and all current problems. The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root foundation of consciousness based on that karma. It is the earth element, colored red for energy and Mother Consciousness. Its awakening brings safety, wisdom, and pleasurable energy, not physical sensations. The chakra's symbols include a four-petaled lotus representing the four ways life enters the world, an elephant symbolizing wisdom and prosperity, an inverted triangle for energy flow, and a coiled snake representing past, present, and future karmas—the dormant Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Śiva (consciousness) and Śakti (nature) seek union here. Exercises like Bhujaṅgāsana and Śalabhāsana activate this chakra, strengthening the back and influencing the root center for physical and mental balance. "As long as you are not doing anything, it is still under your control." "The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means wisdom. You become very wise, you become self-confident."

He discusses the increased turn towards sattvic food and spirituality during the pandemic, and the benefits of family time.
