Time and destiny, Melbourne
2:45 - 3:55 (70 min)

Every saint or holy incarnation has to go through certain experiences in life. Even God has to go through particular situaions. Does God have a destiny? The life of Jesus - he had to go through many hard situations in his life. Was this his destiny or was him given a task to go trough? Swamiji tells episodes from the life of the Sufi master Mansur Al-Hallaj and Hanumanji from the Ramayana. If we have faith - God and we are one - then nothing will happen. When we hold on God's name we will cross the ocean and reach the shore of happiness and peace. Kirtan is the repetition of God's name. The positive vibration will resonance in our whole body and will give positive effects. This will influence our destiny. Guruvakyas, Satsangs, Kirtans and Bhajans are good guidelines in our life. Recorded in Melbourne, Australia.

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.

12:05 - 12:35 (30 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the two fundamental forces of the universe, Devīśakti and Āsurīśakti. "Both forces, Devīśakti and Āsurīśakti, exist. Devīśakti is positive power, and Āsurīśakti is negative power. But the origin of both is one: God Himself." "Thus, Devīśakti and Āsurīśakti develop. The part of the power, the energy gathered in negative qualities, day by day, will become Āsurīśakti, and the positive forces will become Devīśakti." The speaker explains the cosmic duality of divine and negative powers, both emanating from a single divine source. He describes how an individual's path—toward development or destruction—is influenced by their company (saṅga). The talk covers the three types of suffering (Tri-Tāpa), the importance of the Guru's grace for protection, and the significance of the Navarātri festival dedicated to the Divine Mother, or cosmic Śakti.

"Jīvā means life, life, and in that life there are all creatures: a little ant, this little ant, and humans, and all are all equal, what is living, living." A Swami addresses a gathering, weaving together cosmology, ethics, and personal anecdote. He speaks of Bhagavān Śiva as the primordial source and emphasizes the fundamental equality of all life (Jīva). The core teaching is the practice of ahimsa (non-violence), advocating for a vegan lifestyle and abstaining from alcohol, framed as a recognition of our shared humanity.

The Imperative of Daily Practice
13:20 - 13:59 (39 min)
Recorded on
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. He expands on the concepts of vikāra (impurity/illness) and the guṇas, urging a transformation in diet (āhār), recreation (vihār), behavior (ācār), and thought (vicār). The talk includes practical instructions, responses to questions about cleansing practices, and a call for teachers to become examples of yogic health. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A teacher leads participants in a session focused on mantra repetition. The group begins by chanting the "Oṁ Śrī Deveśvara Mahādevāya Namaḥ" mantra 108 times, followed by a review and speed practice of a previously learned Sanskrit verse from the Sannyasukta.

The Nature of the Knower and the Self
14:45 - 15:20 (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.

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. This means that each era has its own appropriate way of behavior, and each place is different." "What we learn from Viśva Gurujī is not only āsanas... but that we need to be flexible in our hearts and minds." 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. The talk uses metaphors like a spoon in honey to describe receptivity to grace and lighthouses for the role of ashrams. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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.

20:50 - 22:06 (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.
