0:00 - 1:16 (76 min)
Recorded on
A satsang discourse on the guru's grace, destiny, and the power of surrender. "Even the guru can change destiny, because there is no higher law than the guru’s law." "Since the day I told Swāmījī, 'I surrender, do what you want,' I am in peace." A speaker, likely a senior disciple, addresses the gathering following morning prayers. He discusses the validity of Vedic sciences like astrology (Jyotish) but emphasizes the supreme power of the guru's grace to alter destiny, illustrating this with a traditional parable about a guru changing the fate of two royal children. He shares personal anecdotes of learning to obey the guru's guidance, concluding that true peace comes from complete surrender to the guru's will, allowing him to manage one's life and mitigate karma.

Develop your wisdom, do not steal
1:20 - 2:08 (48 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse addressing imitation, authentic wisdom, and the importance of satsaṅg. "Imitation is stealing. It is not truth, but imitation." "If the butter has been eaten by all these other writers... they ate only the butter; they did not eat the cow. So, milk the cow." The lecturer speaks on the prevalence of imitation in the material and spiritual worlds, using examples from currency counterfeiting to plagiarized scriptures. He recounts a parable where a disciple laments that all wisdom has been taken by past saints, and Gurujī's response is to use the intellect (the cow) with devotion to produce fresh wisdom. The talk emphasizes generating original spiritual insight, warns against bad company (ku-saṅga), and concludes with an explanation of a bhajan by Mahāprabhujī about losing one's way by leaving the Guru's shelter.

A discourse on the practice and philosophy of Mānasik Pūjā, or mental worship. "Many people ask questions: how to meditate, what to imagine... So, the best solution is Mānasik Pūjā. When you perform the mental ceremony, you come out of your meditation full of strength, energy, love, and clarity." "Imagine that you are in the seva of your iṣṭadevatā... 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). He describes it as a solution to the emptiness that can arise in other forms of meditation, detailing how to mentally perform services like bathing, dressing, and offering food to the divine form. He shares a personal anecdote of his Guruji's disciplined practice and emphasizes that this internal seva cultivates love, dispels negative emotions, and reflects the divine light present in every heart.

A satsang talk reflecting on spiritual transformation and the grace of the Guru. "In yoga, it is very important to understand the concepts of Kāla and Deśa.

A speaker addresses the gathering after a Guru Purnima celebration, exploring how the essence of yoga remains constant while adapting across time and place. He shares stories illustrating the Guru's foresight, like predicting currency changes in Croatia, and emphasizes the transformative power of dedicated practice and being physically present in the ashram's energy.

Guru's Darshan is the most precious
8:10 - 8:26 (16 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse sharing a traditional parable about pilgrimage and divine grace. "All day I am being bathed in by so many thousands and thousands of people. All of their sins come into me... When we come to our guru and we do seva... by the soil which touched his feet—when it touches us, we become pure." "Gaṅgājī will give you much easier darśan. Whenever you are going on the way, always try to stay only at those houses where the householder has already had Gaṅgā snāna—a bath in the Gaṅgā." A Swami addresses a satsang, recounting the story of two Brahmins on a pilgrimage to bathe in the Ganga. They follow strict advice on their journey, only to discover the river goddesses themselves—blackened by the sins of devotees—performing seva at a nearby ashram to be purified by their guru's foot-dust. The narrative illustrates that true purification comes from selfless service and guru's grace, not merely ritual. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

The Nature of the Knower and the Self
12:00 - 12:35 (35 min)
Recorded on
A discourse on Advaita Vedanta and the nature of the Self, based on Śaṅkarācārya's teachings. "This body is full of vikāra. Some have a cough, some a cold, some have lung problems... But Ātman is not born; there is no change in your Ātman, and it will not die either." "If you have no form, what can death do to you?... You are Avināśī. So if you are Avināśī, no one can destroy you, no one can take you away; then why are you afraid?" The speaker expounds on the true nature of the Self (Ātman) as distinct from the body, explaining key Sanskrit terms: Nirvikāra (free from decay/impurity), Nirākāra (formless), Nirmala (pure), and Avināśī (immortal). He emphasizes that identifying with the eternal, formless Self, rather than the impermanent body, is the path to overcoming fear, disease, and sorrow. The talk integrates scriptural commentary, practical advice like breath awareness and Self-inquiry, and concludes with the realization of the Self as all-pervading (Vyāpaka) consciousness.

12:40 - 13:12 (32 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the formless and manifest aspects of the divine. "One is what we can call God, but we cannot see God; it is only God. That is called Nirākāra. Nirākāra means there is no form or posture." "The second is Sākār. Sākār means with a form, like a statue or our body, so that we can worship God." 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. The talk expands to cover creation stories, the cycles of the Yugas, and the importance of righteous living and sādhanā (spiritual practice) in the current Kali Yuga.

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 guided yoga practice focusing on chakra awareness through specific postures and breath. "Try to understand that the chakra and its location are like a reflection zone... It is the same with some āsanas; they influence and activate a point in our body connected to a cakra." "If we are concentrated on one point, we will remain without movement. When our mind starts to go here and there, we lose concentration." An instructor leads a session of āsanas (postures) and mudrās (seals) designed to bring awareness and sensation to the energy centers (chakras) from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra. The practice includes Maṇḍūkāsana for the root chakra, rolling movements for Maṇipūra and Viśuddhi, Ākarandanurāsana for Ājñā chakra focus, and Ekapāda Praṇāmāsana for concentration and Anāhata.

The Aim of Human Life, Melbourne

Recorded on
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 closing satsang reflecting on the essence of spiritual practice during a summer seminar. "You know what the best food is? First, when you are hungry, they say hunger is the best cook. Second, the best meal is when you don't have to cook or wash the dishes." "If you have so many stones in your pocket, you will go down. See this symbolically. If you believe and think that some crystal will save your life and change your destiny, what are we doing? We are believing that that stone is much stronger than Mahāprabhujī." The lecturer addresses the assembly, weaving personal anecdotes from his decades with Gurudev into teachings on discernment. He critiques an over-reliance on rituals, numbers, and external objects like crystals, emphasizing instead the supreme power of mantra, guru, and inner confidence. Key themes include navigating collective influences, distinguishing real practice from distraction, and cultivating the unwavering, urgent devotion exemplified in a story about Paramahaṁsa Rāmakṛṣṇa. The talk concludes with an emphasis on satsang as a vital support. Filming location: Vép, Hungary
