An opening talk at a spiritual seminar addressing the absence of the guru and the purpose of gathering. "People are always complaining, 'Oh, Kali Yuga is not good, Kali Yuga is a terrible time.' But if you know how to utilize it, Kali Yuga is also excellent." "We need to be like a Paramahaṁsa... We should be like that. In this world, we have so many things... we should be like the Haṁsa: take the pearls, take the milk, and leave the water." A senior disciple addresses the assembled spiritual family at the Vép seminar, acknowledging the physical absence of Viśvagurūjī. He reframes the gathering as a vital opportunity to recharge, strengthen spiritual family bonds, and deepen personal practice. Key themes include extracting the essence from the Kali Yuga, the necessity of a supportive community for sādhanā, and using the seminar for introspection, mauna (silence), and focused practice of āsana and prāṇāyāma to calm the mind.

The Inner Conflict of Śiva
13:15 - 14:10 (55 min)
Recorded on
A narrative discourse exploring the inner conflict of Lord Śiva following Satī's test of Lord Rāma. "Sometimes, to speak the truth is not easy. You hesitate to tell something; you do not want to lose face." "Therefore, God, please, you can take everything away, or may I lose everything, but not one thing: my belief, my devotion to you." The speaker recounts the mythological story where Satī, after testing Rāma by disguising herself as Sītā, lies to Śiva about her actions. Śiva, the knower of all, discovers the truth through his divine sight and is plunged into a profound inner conflict. He wrestles with a dilemma: to love Satī in her transformed state feels like a sin that would compromise his pure devotion (bhakti) to Rāma, yet he cannot reject his pure and faithful consort. The discourse uses this story to examine themes of truth, doubt, devotion, and the painful inner arguments that arise when faith is tested, concluding that only divine mercy can resolve such struggles.

Swami Madhvarānjī (Swāmījī) addresses a gathering, explaining that human life is meant for spiritual realization (Brahmajñāna), which requires true education. He discusses the eternal science of yoga, the coexistence of divine and negative forces, and the critical importance of traditional knowledge, particularly the ability to cook one's own nutritious food.
