A satsang featuring spiritual stories and teachings on renunciation, ego, and the pitfalls on the spiritual path. "Seeing you all the time indulged in these materialistic activities and always enjoying your life makes me sad." "If you have ego, envy, or jealousy towards anything or anyone, then you get stuck in this māyā." The lecturer narrates two primary parables. The first tells of King Gopichand, who renounces his kingdom at his mother's request and learns the true meaning of his mother's three advices for monastic life. The second, a cautionary tale, describes a powerful muni whose intense tapasya is destroyed by rising ego and desire, ultimately exploited by Kamadeva. The speaker weaves in related teachings, including a story of Lord Rama delivering justice to a dog, to emphasize controlling anger, speech, and the dangers of ego.

Lecture from Vep, Hungary, 2001

A discourse on the nature of the Kali Yuga and the power of the divine name. "Kali Yuga is Kriyā Yuga. Kriyā Yuga means Karma Yuga. Karma is primary." "Kali yuga kevala nāma ādhāra, sumira sumira nara hoi bhava pāra. (In the Kali Yuga, the name alone is the foundation; by repeating, repeating, a person crosses the ocean of existence.)" Swami Maheshwarananda explains that the Kali Yuga is an age dominated by action (karma), but its true foundation is the repetition of God's name, as stated by Tulsidas. He shares a personal memory of his Guru appearing to him at the Strelky ashram and narrates a Puranic story about the sage Vishvamitra to illustrate the supreme value of satsang. The talk emphasizes that diligent spiritual practice (purushartha) is essential, yet liberation comes from anchoring oneself in the divine name. Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

A spiritual discourse on cultivating inner peace through faith, surrender, and overcoming inner obstacles. "One who is always under divine shelter is safe. But how does one come under God's shelter?" "If you have peace within, you can bring peace outside. Without inner peace, you cannot." The speaker delivers a satsang, weaving together devotional songs, parables, and teachings to explore the path to inner peace. He discusses the necessity of true surrender and faith in God, illustrated by a story of an atheist climber. Using examples from Gandhi and analyses of inner fires like anger and desire, he explains how peace is developed through prayer, meditation, and purifying negative qualities like rāga (attachment) and krodha (anger). The talk emphasizes that world peace begins with individual inner peace. Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

A spiritual discourse on the nature of God, human divinity, and traditional wisdom. "A child asks a mother or father, 'What is the horizon? How far is it?' Have you ever reached or gone to the horizon?" "Bhagavān Kṛṣṇa said to Arjuna: both are good, Nirākāra and Sākāra, the formless and with form. But he said, for you, Arjuna, it is easier to worship in form." Swami Anand Arun explores the concepts of formless (Nirākāra) and personal (Sākāra) divinity, using the analogy of the unreachable horizon. He discusses the path of worship, the significance of divine forms and symbols in Hindu tradition, and the importance of sacred language and human relationships. The talk connects these themes to the science of the cakras, the significance of Vedic rituals like marriage, and the practical application of yoga and speech in daily life. Filming location: USA

A morning satsang on simplicity, renunciation, and devotion. "Life is simple. No need to complicate it. We just need two pieces of cloth, or even one." "If you have true Guru Bhakti, if you have true dedication towards your Guru, if you believe in Him, then you will eventually get what you are waiting for." The lecturer begins by demonstrating the traditional gati cloth worn by sadhus, explaining its symbolism and the meaning of the tripuṇḍ tilak. He shares a parable about a jealous priest and a magical conch to illustrate the folly of envy. The discourse then explores the life of Gautama Buddha as an exemplar of renunciation and dedication, followed by a story of the disciple Giri's devotion to Adi Shankaracharya.

Ashram leads a discourse from Vienna, explaining yoga as a scientific path for harmony that connects the individual to the entire cosmos.

A spiritual discourse on the importance of discernment in seeking a true guru, illustrated with cautionary tales. "Sometimes we just follow people by seeing their work, but not by understanding what they really are doing, and we follow blindly." "It’s very important to find a real Satguru Dev, because nowadays, as we know, it’s Kali Yuga, and in Kali Yuga people are not so nice as they were once upon a time." A speaker addresses a gathering, warning against blind faith in the spiritual search. He emphasizes the necessity of finding a genuine guru from an authentic lineage, contrasting this with self-serving imposters. He shares two parables: one about a blind sadhu whose devotional offering is eaten by a cat, leading to an unexamined ritual tradition, and another about a deceitful, nose-less fake guru who exploits disciples. The core message is to seek clarity, ask questions, and avoid following teachings without understanding. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

Satsang with Swamiji from Wellington, NZ. With the cleanness of our house we can see our inner condition. How we are keeping the ashram or the house in order, with this we can see our love and devotion. We can see if everything is in beauty. It is our inner beauty, the inner pureness, our inner clarity which is reflecting there. Doubts, desires and hidden wishes we did not clean up are spoiling our mind. If we are neglecting our sadhana, our duties, then tamas guna, the laziness takes over. It will grow more and more and we will find every self excuse for our mental pollution. Self enquiry meditation, which is taught in the Yoga in Daily life Yoga classes will help to clear up the question - not who am I but how am I. We have to search within, how is our inner world and how is our inner condition. Translation of the bhajan: Jag musafir dekh vo.

A detailed yoga class instruction covering śalabhāsana, sarvāṅgāsana, and prāṇāyāma. "Śalabhāsana, being a backward bend that requires strong muscles, works very well on our self-confidence. It strengthens the sense of power and vitality." "In this posture, simply allow one subtle, extended exhalation. This posture works on unburdening the heart, so less pumping is needed to nourish the brain." An instructor guides students through a sequence of āsanas, including śalabhāsana (locust pose) variations, sarvāṅgāsana (shoulderstand), and halāsana (plow pose), explaining their physical and energetic benefits. The session incorporates preparatory poses, counterposes, and detailed alignment cues, concluding with instructions for Bhastrikā prāṇāyāma and a collective Oṁ chant.
