Morning Yoga practice from the international Yoga retreat Umag, Croatia, on the 27 of September

A spiritual discourse on the unity of consciousness, the elements, and the nature of the guru. "And so it is that we are never separate. We are always with one and one and one." "You are all guru. Guru means who is giving us. What means giving us? Training, etc." An elder teacher addresses a gathering, weaving together cosmological concepts of Śiva and Śakti, the five elements, and the pervasive presence of the ātmā (soul). He explains fundamental oneness using the metaphor of a drop merging with the ocean, and expansively defines the guru as any source of knowledge, from a parent to a driving instructor. The talk touches on comparative religion, personal anecdotes, and concludes with an invitation for future meditation. Filming location: Vienna, Austria

A satsang addressing practical yogic living and dietary discipline. "If you really want to do your yoga sādhānā, then, first control over your tongue, the test. You will see that 90% of all difficulties in your body will disappear." "Yoga begins with discipline. Atha yoga anuśāsana." Swami Satyananda Saraswati answers questions from attendees, first offering advice on starting a yogic farm community in Hungary. He then delivers a core teaching on foundational spiritual practice, emphasizing strict dietary control (limited intake, no snacking, avoidance of processed foods and alcohol) as the primary step for health, discipline, and preparing for meditation. He expands on the importance of satsang, prāṇāyāma, and consuming local, organic, seasonal foods, using soy cultivation and an anecdote about Australian milk regulations as cautionary examples.

A spiritual discourse on prāṇāyāma and the interconnectedness of life, addressing modern pollution. "To pollute the earth is a sin. It means you pollute Mother Earth." "The most dangerous pollution is in the human mind. And that mind is so polluted, and of course, everyone is proud of that—how much my mind is polluted." Swami Madhavan Ji delivers an evening talk, beginning with the science of breath (Pūrak, Rechak, Kumbhak) and the sacredness of Sanskrit. He expands the theme to describe a profound chain of pollution: of the Earth, our physical bodies through toxins, and finally our minds through negative thoughts. He presents yoga and prāṇāyāma as the essential science to purify these layers, explaining how breathwork balances the Ida and Pingala nadis and burns away karmic impurities, ultimately leading to unity with Brahman.

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

Morning lecture from the weekend seminar in Vienna, Austria with translation in English.

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.

A spiritual discourse exploring karma and liberation through two illustrative stories. "The soul in this cobra was a great bhakta, a dedicated scholar. But he did not yet renounce his goal... he has gone through his karma, and now it is time for him to be granted Mokṣa, liberation." "If someone slaps you, then you are to blame, not the other who slaps you... You were there, that is how it is. Therefore, accept what happens." The speaker narrates two parables to explain the effect of karma on the soul. The first describes how the sage Mahāprabhujī liberated the soul of an old cobra, revealing it was a former devotee working through its karma. The second tells of Saint Sagramdās, who encounters a camel bearing the karma of a cruel tax collector. Through these stories, the discourse emphasizes that beings reap the consequences of their actions across lifetimes, and that selfless service (Sevā) is the supreme path to lightening one's karmic burden.

A spiritual seminar on the guru-disciple relationship and spiritual practice. "Guru Kṛpā Hi Kevalam—the Gurudeva's blessings. And śiṣya kī ānanda maṅgalam. The disciples have happiness, joy." "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). He shares a story about two disciples to illustrate the importance of following a guru's instructions without mental attachment, and concludes with practical advice for daily practice.

Swamiji in Sliac.

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. The talk introduces the first two of the five kośas (sheaths), focusing on the physical (annamaya) and energy (prāṇamaya) bodies, emphasizing proper nourishment and life force.

A spiritual discourse on living in the present moment and the nature of past, present, and future. "Therefore, it is at present. Be in the present." "So the past is gone. The present is here. But you think, 'In the future, I will also get this.' But you will not get it. That’s it." An instructor addresses a group, advising them to release attachment to past experiences and future anxieties. He advocates for a simple, relaxed practice, contrasting it with other meditation techniques. Using stories, such as a dog losing its bread by coveting a reflection, he illustrates the futility of dwelling on what is gone or what might be, emphasizing that true practice (Anuṣṭhāna) is about being grounded in the now.
