A discourse on the spiritual message of the Satguru, using a bhajan for reflection. "Only the disciple whose antahkaraṇa (inner instrument) is pure will understand the indications Gurudev gives." "Whatever is said by the Guru comes to truth." A spiritual teacher unpacks the bhajan "Sandeśa," explaining how a Satguru's guidance, though sometimes difficult to accept, is a divine message meant for the disciple's ultimate liberation. He uses analogies of medicine, social education, and protection from negative influences (Ku-saṅga) to describe the process of purifying one's qualities to receive and understand the Guru's word (Guruvākya), which awakens the soul.

For this much time mentally, you are together. You are with it, and then you also get prasāda... This is a beautiful mānasik pūjā." The lecturer addresses devotees from an ashram in Vienna, explaining the concept and technique of mental worship of one's chosen deity (Iṣṭadevatā).

A speaker addresses a gathering in the presence of Gurudeva, expressing gratitude for the guru's loving endurance.

A speaker addresses the gathering after a Guru Purnima celebration, exploring how the essence of yoga remains constant while adapting across time and place.

The teacher provides a detailed explanation of how sensory impressions become stored desires in the subconscious, using the analogy of an unfulfilled ice cream craving manifesting in a dream. He describes the mind as a pendulum between conscious and subconscious levels, warning against blocking mental energy and instead advocating for directing it through self-discipline.

A spiritual teacher delivers a satsang on Guruji's birthday, explaining the concepts of Nirākāra (formless God) and Sākār (God with form). Using examples like Jesus, Krishna, and Buddha, he illustrates how divine incarnations suffer and are often misunderstood.

Swamiji introduces MM Swami Jasraj Puri and explaines in great detail what means Mahamandaleshwar and Akkhara. Ashram: A means welcome, Shram means work. Ashram means: Come to work here on your body, mind, consciousness and realisation. Space is the endless glory of God. We don't know where is the beginning or the end. We are limited. The endless space is like a mother, the cosmic consciousness. Between space and consciousness is Yoga shakti. Yoga is balancing, harmonising and uniting. God is manifested in the form of vibration, sound, resonance - OM - Everything comes from that and merges in that. Yogis are meditating on that. The aim of human life is to help, to serve, to support others and selfrealisation. The human life is a precious diamant but we will not get it again and again. Translation of the bhajan: Sadho bhai ab kyu karo the moro. Recorded in Melbourne, Australia.

A direct address to yoga students on the necessity of disciplined daily practice for physical and mental purification. "Practicing means at home—here you only learn. Practicing for just one week is ineffective; it must be a continuous, daily process." "We must become sāttvic. Where the body is sāttvic, there is no vikāra. Vikāra exists in the mind as well." Swami Avatarpuri (Swāmījī) leads a satsang, critiquing the lack of consistent practice among attendees. He stresses that health through daily āsana, prāṇāyāma, and seasonal cleansing techniques like Śaṅkha Prakṣālana is the essential foundation for spirituality.

When we meditate, there is a beautiful sound of the Alaknandā river." Swami Ji leads a satsang, weaving together a description of the remote Himalayan cave, stories of ascetics like Devpurījī, and parables about spiritual pursuit.
