Don't eat meat and save spirituality
A satsang discourse on spiritual practice, purity, and the guru's grace, followed by personal testimonies from disciples.
"Our mantra, our singing: 'Om Namah Śrī Prabhu Dīpa Nārāyaṇa.' And we died. That means that we are really and really."
"Gurudev, without Guru, is nothing. But we have this Guru, which is that who is giving all for us, good for our body, everything."
Swami Maheshwarananda leads a satsang, beginning with chants and reflections on the guru's grace and the power of mantra at the time of death. He shares parables about communities and their practices, then discusses the importance of a pure, vegetarian lifestyle for health and yoga, linking modern ailments to diet. Two long-time disciples then share personal memories: one recounts Swamiji's first visits to Czechoslovakia and a planned book of memories, while another describes successfully applying yoga techniques with champion athletes.
