Shivaratri Satsang with Vishwaguruji
0:00 - 0:35 (35 min)
We are the essence of Śiva, Śakti, and the Guru. From primordial space emerged three elements: space, air, and fire, associated with Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. Śiva and Śakti are one unified power, with Śakti as the dynamic force and Śiva as the conscious principle, manifesting as duality within a single body. This power is in all things. The five elements—water, earth, fire, air, and space—are alive and conscious. Our individual ātmā is like a drop from the ocean of universal consciousness; we are never separate. Everyone is a guru, as a guru is one who imparts knowledge, from a parent to a teacher. All spiritual paths and rituals, like holy water, connect to this one power. Do not reject helpers like doctors, for we may need them. True knowledge unites the scientist and the spiritual guru.
"Śiva and Śakti, Śakti is the power, great, everything, and the other is that Śiva."
"We are all one, and we have one heart here and our ātmā here."

The forms of God
0:40 - 1:14 (34 min)
The journey of the jīva and the nature of the divine is explored. Living beings exist only to consume and be consumed, trapped in a cycle. Humans initially lacked knowledge, living like animals until divine revelation provided guidance. Though divine figures like Rāma and Kṛṣṇa appeared, many fail to understand their stature. People create many idols, yet the one Bhagavān is not confined to a place. All beings, from trees to animals, are moving and will ultimately go to Bhagavān. A turn to meat-eating and alcohol represents a regression, tying one to lower realms and foreign influences. In our tradition, we do not eat animals; no being is harmed in the divine court. The physical body is temporary. When the soul departs, the body perishes but the ātman remains—one and the same, without labels of Hindu or Muslim. The subtle body's destination is unknown. One must educate the next generation correctly. Ultimately, we are servants devoted to the Lord, with no other refuge.
"They say, 'What will you do if you start eating meat and drinking alcohol?' This means, 'Go back, go with the insects.'"
"The ātman does not say, 'I am Hindu,' or 'I am Muslim'... The ātman is one and the same."

Proper exercise is important to us

Evening satsang from Jadan Ashram, Rajsthan, India. Two things are important in our lives. What we eat and what we breathe. Yoga in Daily Life are practiced all over the world. Sarva Hitta asanas are good for everyone. Proper exercise is as important to us as food.
Protect Mother Earth
2:00 - 2:53 (53 min)
A prayer for the protection of Mother Earth.
Humans have destroyed the Earth by extracting oil, coal, and minerals, breaking her body. Mother Earth provides for all creatures, from ants to elephants, yet we live improperly and are often ill. The current age brings pandemics, war, and environmental turmoil. We must act now to protect all life and not kill the Mother. Previous generations respected the Earth, but now knowledge is lost. Do not waste food or water, for they are divine gifts and life itself. Throwing them away is a sin. Live happily and peacefully, keeping the inner light alive, and uplift others through prayer and mantra.
"From the little ant to the elephant, who is feeding them? Not us—Mother Earth."
"Throwing away food is a sin—a sin to destroy food."

We are that drops
3:40 - 5:09 (89 min)
Compassion for all creatures defines the human journey. The divine gift of human life carries the responsibility to bless and protect all beings. Humans alone possess this understanding, yet often fail to act upon it. Killing animals or harming any creature contradicts this sacred duty. All life is interconnected, just as a single drop is one with the vast ocean. The individual soul is a drop from the ocean of the supreme soul. At death, the body is surrendered, and the soul returns to its source, taking nothing material. One must move beyond the cycles of earthly and heavenly existence to realize this eternal oneness. In this age, inner strength is needed to turn from harm and realize the divine unity within all.
"God has given us, and therefore we should not kill anyone."

Self is happiness
5:15 - 5:53 (38 min)
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect.
"If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere."
"The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision."

Spirituality in the heart
6:00 - 6:15 (15 min)
Our heart is a well of giving that must flow to remain pure. We are born from and abide within a vast spiritual ocean. Knowing "I am" and feeling God within, we are here not to sit idly but to help others. Helping flows from the heart, generating more power, peace, and love. Giving enlarges the heart; withholding causes stagnation. Just as a well gives fresh water the more it is drawn, the heart yields more peace and harmony through giving. We must not refuse to give, for in truth, you are everything. Our inner energy must be kept alive by giving what we like. Even when the body perishes, the heart becomes a vast space. We practice to attain this greatness, giving to all beings. This heart-based spirituality surpasses all books. We are ultimately one.
"When we help one another, it comes from our heart: more power, more peace, more love, more of everything."
"As much as is drawn, so much flows... when we draw water, then clean, fresh, very nice water flows out again and again."

Purity is important in every level
6:20 - 7:24 (64 min)
Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are holy books like Siva Purana or Bhagawad Gita that we should read every day to get knowledge from them. We should be humble to the knowledge. We should feel that knowledge in our bodies and our minds. Female shakti is very pure. Shakti and bhakti can become one. If you have a child you should do seva of him. Never separate from your children and the family. Mother is shakti bhakti adanda and gyana. Father is like Siva. Our kitchen and our bathroom should be always clean. We shouldn't let so much dirt behind us if we leave a hotel or an ashram in the morning. We should keep clean our thoughts without any negative vibration.
The real yoga nidra
7:30 - 8:33 (63 min)
Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. We should practise real yoga nidra but in a sitting position according to Mahaprabhuji's instructions. Singing Yoga nidra bhajan. If we only sleep during yoga nidra we don't get anything. The story of a man who beat the snake with a stick in the sand. Animals also have their path and they follow it. They also have their struggles with each other. Our like is like a thorny bush with sweet fruits in it. What do we choose the ice cream or the stick? Bhajan singing.

The duty of the human
14:05 - 14:46 (41 min)
The foundation of life is honoring the divine within relationships and recognizing our shared humanity. First, honor the mother, for she gives life and protection. Second, honor the father. Both parents must prioritize their child over work, or the child loses connection and respect. Humanity is one, beyond caste, color, or origin. The first worship is to the mother. If all women stand to educate children, there will be no war. Next, honor the teacher for worldly knowledge, then the ancestors, and finally the spiritual guide for soul knowledge. Humans must seek more than eating and sleeping; we must ask "Who am I?" We must love all creatures. Modern life, with its distractions like laptops, pushes the child from the parent's lap. Centers like this bring people together. Even the vegan movement points to this unity, recognizing that milk is a mother's love. Our inner space is vast. We are all one soul, like separate drops from the same water. Do not seek meditation far away; go within through the chakras and Kuṇḍalinī.
"First worship is to the mother. First adoration is to the mother."
"O human, if one is doing only eating, creating children, and sleeping, all creatures can do. What is our duty as humans to come?"

Clear your mind
18:35 - 19:11 (36 min)
To change the world, you must first change yourself. Look within to see your anger, hatred, love, and devotion. Change comes through sitting with a guru, meditating, praying, and asking for forgiveness. The guru forgives and guides you to the Supreme Self. Do not blame others; first fix the bad within you. Never doubt the guru's decisions, even if they seem illogical, for his will is for your betterment. His grace alone ensures the disciple's welfare. A story illustrates this: disciples testing a guru with a bird asked if it was alive or dead. The guru said, "This is in your hands," showing our karma is our own. Another story tells of a marital misunderstanding over bread that lasted fifty years, highlighting how unspoken resentments cause lifelong suffering. Clear your mind through communication and forgiveness.

Relaxation and Bari Khatu Pranam
21:10 - 22:07 (57 min)
The practice is to realize oneself as the bliss of Ānanda. Begin by lying down and relaxing the entire body completely. Systematically feel and release each part, from the toes to the head. This state of deep relaxation and awareness is Ānanda Āsana. In this posture, one feels peaceful, joyful, and free from pain. Recognize that every cell of the body is in a state of bliss. This Ānanda is not temporary joy but your true nature as part of the divine. Carry this awareness into all activities—walking, sitting, or being with others. You are that blissful essence, like a star of light within. Conclude by slowly stretching and sitting up, maintaining the feeling of Ānanda.
"Feel your whole body from the toes to the top of the head, and from the top of the head to the toes."

Guru is eternal
22:55 - 23:37 (42 min)
The Guru principle is eternal, transcending the cyclical divine play of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. These deities change and serve each other across ages, but the Guru's seat, the Gāḍī, remains. This seat is not the individual but the eternal principle they temporarily represent. Humans originate from the Saptaṛṣis, creating lineages of saṃskāra, not hierarchy. Our spiritual practice seeks the answer to "Who am I?" within this eternal shelter. The physical lineage continues through specific seats and disciples.
"Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva will change, but the Guru will remain."

Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
23:45 - 0:20 (35 min)
Devotion manifests through repetitive praise and ecstatic song. The core practice is the invocation of divine names and gurus. This chanting is a phonetic rendering of a live devotional session. Its repetitive phrases are musical refrains, not discursive arguments. The varying epithets for deities are typical of invocation. The text is a record of spiritual expression, not logical exposition. Its primary function is celebratory praise. The content is an aural and devotional experience.
