Yagya
A spiritual discourse on marriage, dharma, and spiritual practice.
"Thus, it is said that for a yajña, you must have a couple, a husband and wife. But husband and wife must be very sympathetic."
"Therefore, it is said there that you have to promise. Promise—promise—it does not matter which religion. In every religion there is the promise, and you cannot break your promise."
Swami Ji addresses a gathering, weaving together themes of the sacred marital bond, its significance for spiritual practice like yajña, and the cosmic principles of dharma and justice (Dharmarāja). He cautions against breaking marital vows, discusses the roles of guru and disciple, and critiques certain modern religious practices. The talk includes practical announcements for an upcoming ceremony and concludes with an invitation to support the new ashram.
