Diwali Celebration
Jadan Ashram, District Pali, Rajasthan, India. Lecture by Swami Avatarpuriji. Explanation of the meaning of the world ashram.
Yoga, the inner engineering
Satsang with Vishwaguruji, summer retreat in Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are different levels of our being such as: Atma, Jivatma, consciousness/awareness, mind, emotion, senses, desires, physical body and energy body. There is an inner balancing mechanism to distribute energy to the whole body. With proper inner engineering we should avoid destroying our system. We need healthy seasonal eating and enhanced practice such as Pranayam.
Unity, love, forgiveness, and devotion
An evening satsang on unity, awareness, and forgiveness.
"Whenever Bhaktas come, unite, and sit together, that is Dīvālī, that is Christmas."
"More than anything, there is forgiveness. When we forgive people for what they have done, it's not for them, it's for us."
A swami addresses a full hall, emphasizing the power of collective devotion to transform the age. He discusses the importance of awareness in daily life, using personal anecdotes about zoning out while driving and reducing phone use. He stresses that selfless service (seva) requires devotion (bhava) and explains unity through the metaphor of beads on a thread of Guru Bhakti. He shares a story from the Ramayana about a dog seeking justice to illustrate forgiveness and the dangers of ego, concluding with teachings on living in the present and protecting dharma.

The Soul's Journey
A spiritual discourse on the journey of the soul through birth, death, and karma.
"Our soul—not the Ātmā, but the soul... the soul is individual, not universal."
"Only two will follow us: our good or bad karmas. And that becomes destiny. And against destiny we have no power."
A spiritual teacher explains the nature of the individual soul (Jīvātmā) as a wave of the universal resonance. He describes its journey through time, bound by karma, its entry into a physical body, and the rare opportunity of human birth. He emphasizes the inescapable law of karma governed by body, mind, speech, and wealth, and concludes that liberation comes through spiritual practice and the Guru's grace, which dissolves the soul back into the Supreme.
