Life, they are all one." The lecturer speaks at the Yogandī Life center in Vienna on the anniversary of Gurudev Swami Madhavānandajī. He contemplates the concept of incarnation, explaining Śiva as the unmanifest Svayambhū who willed multiplicity into being through the five elements.

A spiritual discourse reflecting on divine descent, the guru-disciple relationship, and personal history. "Every soul, when descending from the astral world to this mortal world, must be chosen by some higher hierarchies... You are not elected. You are selected, so such a divine great master comes to this world." "The master is the master, and we are the raw rock. We have to go through all these situations. He will make you position, give you position on the altar, in the temple." Swami Maheshwarananda (Swamiji) speaks intimately about the nature of a Satguru's incarnation, selected by divine will rather than personal karma. He shares the story of his own spiritual calling, describing his first encounter with his Guru, Swami Madhavananda, as a child and his determined journey to enter the ashram. He weaves in teachings on karma yoga, liberation, and the transformative, often arduous process of the disciple under the master's guidance, using the metaphor of a sculptor shaping a raw stone into a sacred statue.

A spiritual discourse on the significance of Diwali (Dīpāvalī). "This light is the truth, and we light these lights in everyone's heart.

When you open your eyes, you get the light, you see the light." The speaker delivers a satsang on the festival of Diwali, explaining its origin in Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya and its deeper spiritual meaning as the inner light of Brahman. The talk explores the symbolism of the oil lamp—comparing the body to the pot, prana to the oil, the self to the wick, and the flame to the atman—and emphasizes themes of forgiveness, love (prem), non-violence (ahiṃsā), and daily spiritual practice. The discourse includes philosophical reflections, mantra chanting, and a critique of ritual animal sacrifice. Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
