The Nature of the Knower and the Self
0:25 - 1:00 (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.

Sri Ram - Kirtan sung by Ally. Swami Jasraj Puri brings an example: When on the spiritual path arise doubts - hold on, it will calm down. Swami Sannyasanand speaks about Pranayama, Ida and Pingala breathing. Swamiji speaks about Lord Shiva,Yog Shakti, the sound OM and Siddhis - the supernatural powers. Atman is universal, the Self, it is immortal. It is like the space, no one can destroy,fire cannot burn nor dead can effect it. Jivatma is individual,is born,reborn comming and going. It is a bundle of our karmas and there are 4 ways to do karma. Swamiji tells a episode from the Ramayana, about Garuda, the carrier of Lord Vishnu as he lost his bhakti to Lord Rama and he was suffering a lot because of his doubts. We have 9 doors where the soul will go out of the body.We can lead ourselves to the Brahman or we can lead ourselves down, it depends on our individual karma and our practice. Translation of the bhajan: Shivoham Shivoham.

2:40 - 3:56 (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.

A closing discourse on integrating spiritual awareness into daily life, from sleep to nourishment. "In deep sleep, you know nothing of being a millionaire or a beggar. In deep sleep, you know nothing of whether you are sick or healthy." "Therefore, before going to sleep, one says to God: 'What I have done all day... I offer all the fruits of my actions. Lord, forgive me if there was anything not good.'" Swami Avatarpuri concludes a seminar by guiding attendees through a sacred daily rhythm. He explains the unity experienced in deep sleep, followed by prayers upon waking and mindful practices with water, air, and earth. The talk emphasizes gratitude, the divinity in natural elements, and the importance of offering one's actions. He details a spiritual approach to nourishment, advocating for fresh, whole foods and traditional preparation, linking physical health to inner peace and meditation. Filming location: Austria

A lecture on the nature of the mind, subconscious impressions, and yogic philosophy. "Our senses are mostly connected to and work with the consciousness, the awakened state." "The mind is that principle which functions between the conscious and subconscious, pendling up and down." 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. The talk expands into the relationship between emotion, intellect, consciousness, and the nadis (Ida, Pingala, Sushumna), linking psychological concepts to the chakra system and the dormant energy of kundalini.

The Practice and Power of Trāṭaka
19:00 - 19:52 (52 min)
Recorded on
An evening satsang on the theory and practice of Trāṭaka, or yogic gazing. "Trāṭaka means gazing on one point. The best object is the flame from a lamp of good ghee from a cow—not from buffaloes, goats, or sheep." "While practicing Trāṭaka, if you practice every day, morning and evening, without interruption for twelve years, you will attain a siddhi... a very pure, very kind, and merciful look in your eyes." Swami Prakashananda Saraswati provides detailed instructions for the cleansing technique of Trāṭaka. He explains suitable objects for gazing, such as a pure ghee flame or a black dot, and warns against using a mirror. He describes the profound benefits, including purification of mind, improved speech, and the awakening of divine energy and intuition, while stressing the necessity of guidance from a properly trained teacher and the use of a Guru Mantra. The talk includes a cautionary story about two monks to illustrate the importance of inner purity and forgiveness. Filming location: Australia

We are full of resonance
21:40 - 22:34 (54 min)
Recorded on
Evening satsang with Vishwaguruji from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are many Gods but finally, there are all one. Our soul is circling in the universe like water in the earth. The story about how can some seeds öf grain remain unbroken. Who is going to the Satsang they can reach the Supreme. Sometimes we see the karma but don't do that. Man saints past away but their name remained with us. Holiguruji was very lovely and strict for those persons who were around him. Holiguruji knew if somebody criticises him the bad karma went to that man. Diving to the ocean we can hear the beautiful sound and we hear this also if we plug our ears. Viswaguruji blows the conch three times for the honour of Holiguruji.
