A discourse explaining the spiritual significance of Guru Pūrṇimā. "There are two kinds of explanation about Guru Pūrṇimā. The first is that when, for the first time, the Earth emerged from the water, and the first light of the sun and moon was experienced by this earth... that was Guru Pūrṇimā." "Secondly, Guru Pūrṇimā is generally known and explained as the birthday or incarnation of Bhagavān Vedavyāsa." The speaker, Swami Mādhavānand, elucidates the dual origins of the festival, from a cosmic event to the birth of the sage Vedavyāsa who compiled the Vedas. He emphasizes the indispensable guru principle (guru paramparā), linking it to all teachers and the transmission of wisdom (Śruti and Smṛti). Through anecdotes and teachings, he discusses the qualities of a true guru, the nature of spiritual knowledge, and concludes with the story of Vedavyāsa enlisting Lord Gaṇeśa to write the scriptures.

An evening satsang on the theory and practice of Trāṭaka, or yogic gazing. "Trāṭaka means gazing on one point.

"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.

A spiritual discourse on the breath of life, the limits of the body, and destiny. "Our breath is day and night equally, and it is written how many breaths we will have; then it is finished."

He explains that while practices like yoga and prāṇāyāma can make life more comfortable, the ultimate duration is preordained.

Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the living succession within a guru lineage. "The Master never dies. The body goes, for they become one with Brahman.

"Anger, greed, jealousy, hate, etc.—these negative qualities create a barrier... So anger—not only towards the Master, but towards anyone. Anger is there where there is fear." A speaker explains the eternal nature of the master's consciousness, which transcends the physical body and is passed to a prepared successor, making them the same person in a "different cloth." He emphasizes that receiving this consciousness (parāvidyā) depends on purity and the elimination of negative qualities like anger, not academic learning. The talk includes a story of Guru Gauraknāth, references to devotional songs, and an anecdote about the integrity of former Indian President Abdul Kalam to illustrate spiritual principles.
