We need Gurudev
0:40 - 1:34 (54 min)
Recorded on
A satsang discourse on the necessity of the guru and the goal of Advaita philosophy. "The moment you begin to think you have already heard and know everything, in that moment your free fall begins." "Understand from this that the guru is not the physical body. It is most important to understand that the guru is that Guru-Tattva, the element of the guru." A speaker leads a satsang, emphasizing the eternal student's attitude and the critical role of the embodied spiritual master (Guru-Tattva) as the essential guide. Using stories and analogies—such as the matchbox with a diamond, the friend with a boat, and the river merging into the ocean—the talk explains the guru's function and explores the ultimate goal of yoga: to transcend the cycle of rebirth and realize the Advaita (non-dual) union of the individual self with the cosmic Self.

The Soul and Karma
4:20 - 5:10 (50 min)
Recorded on
A satsang lecture on the nature of the soul and the law of karma. "Karma means action, cause, action and effect. Every thought, every word, every action, every deed, every step is accounted for." "The body dies, but the soul lives. The soul seeks a new vessel, a place to enter, according to your karmas." From the Vienna ashram, the speaker explores the fundamental concepts of karma as universal activity and the soul (jīvātmā) as the individuated life force. Using analogies like a stone creating waves in a lake, he describes the soul's emergence from divine consciousness and its journey through cycles of rebirth, shaped by its accumulated actions. The talk cautions against egoic identification with divine incarnations, emphasizes causing no pain to other beings, and advocates for humility and spiritual practice to purify the soul and merge with the Ātman.

The Influence of Karma on the Soul
5:15 - 5:56 (41 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on karma and the soul, delivered in Vienna. "According to Yoga and Vedānta philosophy, there are Sapta Bhūmikā, seven stages of consciousness. The highest, final stage is called Turīya." "If someone gives you a setback, it is your fault, not the other person's... Therefore, accept it. When you accept it, you immediately feel better." The speaker, addressing an audience in German and English, explores the profound influence of past actions on the soul's journey. He explains the concept of a Trikāladarśī Gurudev, a master who perceives past, present, and future, illustrating it with two stories from the tradition. The first recounts how Mahāprabhujī liberated the soul of a cobra, a former devotee trapped by negative karma. The second tells of a cruel tax collector reborn as a camel, bearing the physical burden of his past misdeeds. The central theme is the inescapability of karma and the human opportunity to resolve it through selfless service (Sevā), devotion, and spiritual practice. Filming location: Vienna, Austria

In South India, it becomes Rāmaṇ." "The easiest option is to let go, put it down, and allow the mind to become peaceful. The happiest thing is simply to let it be, to release it calmly and let it flow." A speaker first explains the universality of Om, linking it to the words 'Amen' and 'Amin', and discusses his work promoting Indian traditional sciences in European parliaments. Swami Maheshvaranand then shares a teaching story about a restless monkey to illustrate how surrendering thoughts leads to peace, emphasizing meditation and devotion to the Guru.

The lecturer addresses the community, emphasizing that all disciples—regardless of background or role—should be included in practices like pūjā. He teaches that service and respect form a spiritual family, illustrates oneness with an ocean metaphor for the soul, and shares an anecdote about Holy Gurujī and Mahāprabhujī to illustrate humble service.

He then invites Umapurījī to lead practical balancing exercises, including one-legged stands and stretches, to cultivate physical and inner stability, concluding with a moment of meditation and contentment.

A satsang discourse on dharma, spiritual practice, and the importance of community. "We always try to find the shortcuts, and we always try to find the easy way out." "In the satsaṅg, on the full moon, usually we listen to Guru Gītā. Try to really listen to Guru Gītā. I have listened to Guru Gītā for more than 40 years, and I must say that every time I hear something new inside." Following traditional invocations, a speaker addresses a gathering, weaving teachings on personal duty (dharma) with illustrative stories, including a sādhu persistently saving a scorpion and Nārada's lesson from Lord Viṣṇu. The talk emphasizes perseverance in one's path, learning from failures, and the critical role of regular satsang and deep, repetitive study of core teachings like the Guru Gītā over seeking novel techniques.

The Seed of Practice
22:20 - 22:45 (25 min)
Recorded on
A spiritual discourse on the importance of practice over mere intellectual knowledge. "Too much reading also leads you nowhere. It’s only intellectual information. Therefore, practicing is very important." "God is more happy to them, those who are doing with a pure heart, not only with a pure intellect." The speaker emphasizes the necessity of faithful spiritual practice, critiquing humanity's self-inflicted suffering and disconnect from nature. He illustrates this with a parable of two brothers, a jñāna yogi focused on intellectual correctness and a bhakti yogi devoted to simple worship. The story demonstrates that sincere devotion, not perfect technique, yields spiritual power, a point reinforced by a concluding analogy about a seed growing regardless of how it is planted.
