Morning Yoga practice from the international Yoga retreat Umag, Croatia on 1st of October

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. A letter from the Indian Prime Minister congratulating the opening of Om Ashram is read. The session includes chanting and concludes with a universal peace mantra and final salutations.

A satsang discourse weaving Upanishadic teachings with personal reflection on a spiritual name. "The father explained that everything in the space comes from one cause. That cause is Brahma, or the Absolute." "Gaṇeśa is the lord of these elements... What does it mean if someone is ruling over the elements? It means he is able to control, to balance, to harmonize all the elements." Following opening prayers, the speaker narrates the Upanishadic story of a father teaching his son Śvetaketu the Mahāvākya "Tat Tvam Asi" (You are That), using analogies of clay, seeds, salt in water, and rivers in the ocean to illustrate the all-pervading Brahma. The discourse then shifts to a personal exploration of the speaker's name, Gajanant (Gaṇeśa), explaining its symbolism through Purāṇic stories, its role in bhajans as an invocation of the guru, and finally, its deepest meaning as the yogic principle that harmonizes the elements.

A spiritual discourse on the soul's journey, karma, and the five sheaths of being. "When this all went back to the astral world, it was not easy... All the time in the astral world, the certain situation of the karma, the destiny, is going on." "God has given the humans that 'I give you the freedom. Now I liberate you.' But there is a 'but.' Whatever you will do again, you have to face the karma." A spiritual teacher delivers a satsang, explaining the cycle of birth, death, and karma across the astral and mortal worlds. He uses parables, like walking through a coal mine, to illustrate the challenges of human life and the consequences of action.

"When we get mantra, guru mantra, then you should have that cloth. We are also going through the mantra. Then it means you have already taken your seat." A spiritual teacher addresses a gathering, expounding on the principle that the guru's grace is everything and the disciple's state is one of auspicious joy. He discusses the nature of a true guru, the importance of the guru lineage (paramparā), and the correct use of a personal meditation seat (āsana).

A spiritual discourse on the five sheaths (kośas) and the impact of nourishment. "Jaisā khāī annā, vaisā rahe man—what kind of nourishment or food you are eating—like that will turn your mind." "So first is the physical nourishment, Annamaya Kośa... What kind of food you will eat, like that will be your mentality." Swami Ji explains the five layers of human existence, beginning with the food sheath (Annamaya Kośa). He emphasizes how diet shapes one's energy, mind, and consciousness, weaving in critiques of modern food systems, historical anecdotes about pre-industrial community life, and cautionary tales about arguing with a spiritual master. The talk uses the symbol of the crocodile in the Svādhiṣṭhāna chakra to represent destructive emotions. Filming location: Auckland, New Zealand

A spiritual discourse on universal oneness and the nature of the divine path. "If a God says, 'Do not worship that God,' then neither is that God right, nor are you good. We have to come to oneness." "The drop is not there. I am not a drop. I am the ocean. Similarly, we are in that condition. But you are still not near the beach of the ocean." The speaker, likely a spiritual teacher, leads a satsang exploring the essential unity of all spiritual paths and deities. He emphasizes that a true guru or God would never forbid the worship of another, advocating for a non-sectarian devotion. Using metaphors like a drop merging into the ocean and the irreversible flight of an airplane, he discusses the preciousness of time, the journey of the soul, and the nature of prana (life force) as both a suffering entity and a divine connection. The talk weaves between philosophical points, practical advice, and anecdotal reflections, concluding with a call for inner purity and an end to religious duality.

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.

"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.

Swami Madhavan Ji delivers an evening talk, beginning with the science of breath (Pūrak, Rechak, Kumbhak) and the sacredness of Sanskrit.
