The Journey of the Soul: From the Ocean to the Drop
10:35 - 11:29 (54 min)
The soul's journey is from separation from the divine source back to union with it. The individual soul, or jīva, originates from the supreme oneness, like a water droplet separating from the ocean through evaporation. This droplet then longs to return. The cycle of the soul mirrors the water cycle: it ascends, travels, and descends back to earth, entering vegetation and bodies. Satsang is the boat to cross the ocean of separation, guided by the Guru or the holy scripture, which embodies the Guru's presence. Constant repetition of the divine name, like "Ram," is a highway to that goal. However, our physical actions create karma. We poison the earth and water with chemicals from soaps, cosmetics, and medicines, which is violence against nature and ourselves. True spirituality requires internal purity and non-violence in all conduct, as everything is counted. Liberation comes from realizing you cannot hide your actions from yourself or the divine.
"From the ocean, the jīva is in the water, the soul is in the water."
"This drop is called Jīva. And when this drop falls into the ocean, the Jīva becomes the Ātmā."

The Sole Necessity of Guru's Grace
11:35 - 12:22 (47 min)
Guru's grace is the sole reality. Without it, nothing is possible. All life exists within a web of interconnected grace. Parents give life and inherent blessings. The community, village, and even street animals provide protection and sustenance, reflecting divine care. This interconnected life is to be respected and loved. True spiritual duty may conflict with worldly attachments, as family may not comprehend or support a deeper calling. The ultimate test of devotion reveals that no worldly relationship can sacrifice for one's spiritual path. Only the guru's unconditional grace grants the disciple peace and fulfillment.
"Guru kṛpā hi kevalam. When Gurudeva’s blessing is present, then everything is possible."

Gurudeva resides within each heart. Visualize him seated before you. Perform a mental Guru Paduka Puja, applying tilak to his lotus feet. Light an imagined diya and perform arati: four circles to his feet, three to his heart, two to his face, and seven for his entire form. Offer flowers and make full prostrations. Seek forgiveness for all shortcomings. Feel Gurudeva placing his hand upon your head, bestowing blessings and light. Offer mentally prepared food. Express profound gratitude for his incarnation, guidance, and transformative presence. Pray for peace, steadfastness on the path, and the growth of inner devotion. The disciple's love and prayers provide strength.

Unity, love, forgiveness, and devotion
13:00 - 13:43 (43 min)
Unity is essential, especially in difficult times when the intellect tends toward destruction. When all power unites positively, it can transform the age. Humans possess a unique mind for processing information, yet awareness is often missing. True awareness must be present in all actions, from eating to meditation. Service and spiritual practice are incomplete without devotion and feeling. The mind is restless, not the soul. Do not be stuck in the future or past, but be present now. Unity is the thread, like devotion, that holds all together. A single branch breaks, but united we stand strong. Modern life fragments families, eroding love and shared space. To love others, one must first love and accept oneself without blame. The world is one family; all beings contain the divine. Protect righteousness, and it will protect you. Forgiveness is for one's own peace, releasing the inner grudge that consumes. Perform your duty without attachment to the outcome.
"When all the power comes together, they have the power to change Kali Yuga to Satya Yuga."
"Forgive them. It’s not for them, it’s for us. Because when we forgive them, it gives us that sense of peace."

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.

Blessed moments with Holy Guruji
16:35 - 16:55 (20 min)
The guru's presence is a transformative teaching beyond words.
I met Gurujī but did not know Hindi, creating a perceived barrier. Yet, his storytelling was a profound lesson; he fully embodied each character, making them instantly known. That moment taught me the power of non-verbal communication—how body, voice, and movement express inner states and can change our inner world. Every action was a teaching; singing a bhajan, he transformed the atmosphere with immense energy. Being with him was full of that strong energy and love; language was unnecessary. Great souls possess tremendous humor and love that transforms. To be near such energy requires strong nerves and preparation through sādhanā, or one may fall asleep from the intensity. Though Gurujī is no longer physically here, he is present in every satsaṅg and bhajan. Through the bhajans, which are rare and preserved from the paramparā, the guru is with us. We owe the opportunity to know this lineage and these bhajans to Viśva Gurujī.
"Gurujī became every actor, every person in that story."
"Language was never a problem; there was no need to talk."

Spiritual practice requires vigilance and faith to remain uncorrupted. Some individuals spread negativity like infection, causing others to fall from wisdom. Stay close to the Guru's shelter for protection, as some grains avoid being ground by staying near the mill's central pillar. Do not carry the burdens of others; those who create trouble for others bear their own karma. Your duty persists regardless of hour. Share the pure teachings without manipulation, as the fruit reveals the quality of the tree. Practice diligently and purify your own karma.

Awakening of muladhar
19:15 - 19:57 (42 min)
Chakras are energy centers where consciousness resides, defining character and problems. Your destiny (prārabdha) is created by past karma before your body forms. You control your present karma through action, speech, thought, and influence, but once acted upon, deeds become destiny governing future life and all current problems. The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root foundation of consciousness based on that karma. It is the earth element, colored red for energy and Mother Consciousness. Its awakening brings safety, wisdom, and pleasurable energy, not physical sensations. The chakra's symbols include a four-petaled lotus representing the four ways life enters the world, an elephant symbolizing wisdom and prosperity, an inverted triangle for energy flow, and a coiled snake representing past, present, and future karmas—the dormant Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Śiva (consciousness) and Śakti (nature) seek union here. Exercises like Bhujaṅgāsana and Śalabhāsana activate this chakra, strengthening the back and influencing the root center for physical and mental balance.
"As long as you are not doing anything, it is still under your control."
"The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means wisdom. You become very wise, you become self-confident."

Master should have equal vision
20:05 - 20:30 (25 min)
A master's teaching adapts to the student's background but arises from a place of non-discrimination. Teaching varies based on a student's inherent culture, like learning to cook at home versus from scratch. Language also shapes the delivery, as perfect translation of meaning is difficult. However, the true master holds no distinction in heart, like a sun shining on all. The story of Eklavya illustrates this: though formally rejected, his devotion to his guru as a statue made him a great archer. The master teaches from within, beyond speech, through divine love. Disciples who perceive favoritism are mistaken. The master knows each student's needs and administers many tests. True service is to see oneself not as a successor, but as eternally serving the guru.

Worldly life is impermanent, and the only true refuge is in the saint.
All worldly relationships and possessions are temporary. The body is a temporary guesthouse, and the mind is a fleeting traveler. Wealth, family, and status are all subject to change and loss. This impermanence is the source of all suffering. The only permanent shelter is found in the company and grace of the true saint. The saint's teachings and divine name are the sole anchors in this transient existence. By taking refuge in the saint, one transcends the cycle of birth and death.

Singing bhajans by Swami Gajanandji
23:00 - 23:37 (37 min)
Devotion is the direct expression of the heart's longing for the divine. The song is an offering, a plea for refuge in the guru, who is the true shelter. Through repetitive chanting and praise, the individual consciousness seeks to dissolve. The devotee acknowledges personal incapacity for rigorous practice, surrendering entirely to grace. Worldly attachments and the snares of illusion are recognized as binding. The sole request is for the guru's compassionate hand to provide crossing. Liberation is described as the burning away of latent impressions and the cessation of identification with elemental principles. The act of singing itself becomes the transformative path.

The same light lits in all of us
13:45 - 14:29 (44 min)
The Guru is the ultimate guide and embodiment of the divine principle, surpassing all forms. The scriptures equate the Guru with the trinity of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśvara. When having darśan of a deity, one must not break concentration for any saint except one's own Guru, who is considered higher. The highest reality is where all three divine aspects unite as one, which is our Satguru. Even incarnated gods needed a Guru to teach. Satsaṅg refreshes existing knowledge; the ultimate peace we seek is already within but obscured. Realization comes from shifting focus from 'I' to 'thy' and going within. The Guru provides guidance and grace, but the disciple must perform the work. Spiritual progress requires time and personal effort, like metal being heated and hammered into shape. We are the witness, not the doer. The body is temporary; love opens the door to the divine. Inner enemies must be conquered first. Practice reduces negative tendencies. Be content with what you have, yet seek more spiritual devotion. The Guru gives light unconditionally, without background checks. The disciple must preserve and forward this light. Periods of difficulty are necessary phases for growth. Surrender to the Guru's will and have faith. Worldly knowledge differs from spiritual knowledge, which brings growth. Achieve peace by reducing thoughts and expectations. Nothing we possess is truly ours; only spiritual practice accompanies us. Live in the present with gratitude, focused on the path toward self-realization.

The Four Aspects of Grace and the Path to Self-Love
15:05 - 15:38 (33 min)
The four aspects of Kṛpā illuminate the path to self-love. Deva Kṛpā is the mercy of the gods, granting the human incarnation necessary for liberation. Śāstra Kṛpā is the mercy of the holy scriptures, which contain the teachings of the gurus. Guru Kṛpā is the mercy given by the guru, triggered by the disciple's devotion and service. Kuṭkī Kṛpā is the mercy one gives to oneself. This self-love is not ego, which is a low vibration of taking, but a high vibration of giving. Many avoid self-love, fearing it is ego, yet one cannot truly love others without loving oneself. A practical form is sending loving, healing energy to one's own body, which can have profound physical effects. The process to cultivate this begins with self-acceptance, proceeds through self-understanding via inquiry, and culminates in the desire to give and forgive oneself. This inner work is essential for spiritual growth.

Engage in spiritual practice with love for the divine. This practice is the means to liberation. The first type of practice involves discrimination and truth.

The assembly of truth, satsaṅga, is glorious. In it, word-essences resound, and heart meets heart. This communion transforms base metal into gold and grants the highest bliss.

An earthquake has caused loss and hardship. Prayers and ceremonies have positive effects. We are in Kali Yuga, a distracting age. Shiva will now balance all negatives to bring a better time. Messages suggest more challenges will come. We must act. First, protect all life: in water, on land, and in the air. Do not destroy creatures; love and feed them. From your own food, give a portion to animals. This protection of others is protection for ourselves. Spiritual progress is like drawing water from a deep well; negative actions can break the rope, causing a fall. We should also practice yoga: postures like Sarvahitāsan and prāṇāyāma. These bring health. Breathing is life itself.
"Shiva will balance all. He will bring that kind of energy so that all the negatives or distracting things will slowly, slowly be brought into a good position."

However, the spiritual path is often obscured by false claims of psychic powers and siddhis. Many pretend to see auras or tell futures, exploiting pure-hearted seekers. Such lies are a great sin and a major obstacle. True spiritual power manifests naturally through presence and goodness, not for show or gain. Do not be deceived by those offering magical solutions or creating fear. Your focus must remain on genuine devotion and practice under a true lineage. Expectations lead to disappointment; be like the steadfast banyan tree, providing shelter without attachment. The ultimate goal is self-realization, ending all suffering.

Humanity's error is believing the planet belongs solely to us, using our intellect to govern and destroy it. There are two worlds: the perfect God-made world and the imperfect man-made world, which are now in disharmony due to human selfishness. We have become a destructive force, stealing from and harming nature for our comfort, leading to climate crises as nature's reaction. True success is not personal gain that causes another's loss, but action that considers all beings. Therefore, return to karma yoga—selfless, protective work—as your worship. After such active work, practice passive meditation by withdrawing the senses, surrendering burdens to the divine, and seeking oneness. Meditation requires techniques to concentrate and ultimately merge, allowing you to see the divine beauty in all creation, which physical eyes alone cannot perceive.
"Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam—through the practice of karma yoga, you will be successful in your yoga practice."
"Mother Nature has enough for everyone’s need, but not for the greed."

Practice and try to purify your karma
18:50 - 19:40 (50 min)
Spiritual practice requires vigilance and faith to remain uncorrupted. Some individuals spread negativity like infection, causing others to fall from wisdom. Stay close to the Guru's shelter for protection, as some grains avoid being ground by staying near the mill's central pillar. Do not carry the burdens of others; those who create trouble for others bear their own karma. Your duty persists regardless of hour. Share the pure teachings without manipulation, as the fruit reveals the quality of the tree. Practice diligently and purify your own karma.
"Between these two stones, played no one remained complete." "Whoever does that will suffer. Why are you crying?"

The same light lits in all of us
19:45 - 20:29 (44 min)
The Guru is the ultimate guide and embodiment of the divine principle, surpassing all forms. The scriptures equate the Guru with the trinity of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśvara. When having darśan of a deity, one must not break concentration for any saint except one's own Guru, who is considered higher. The highest reality is where all three divine aspects unite as one, which is our Satguru. Even incarnated gods needed a Guru to teach. Satsaṅg refreshes existing knowledge; the ultimate peace we seek is already within but obscured. Realization comes from shifting focus from 'I' to 'thy' and going within. The Guru provides guidance and grace, but the disciple must perform the work. Spiritual progress requires time and personal effort, like metal being heated and hammered into shape. We are the witness, not the doer. The body is temporary; love opens the door to the divine. Inner enemies must be conquered first. Practice reduces negative tendencies. Be content with what you have, yet seek more spiritual devotion. The Guru gives light unconditionally, without background checks. The disciple must preserve and forward this light. Periods of difficulty are necessary phases for growth. Surrender to the Guru's will and have faith. Worldly knowledge differs from spiritual knowledge, which brings growth. Achieve peace by reducing thoughts and expectations. Nothing we possess is truly ours; only spiritual practice accompanies us. Live in the present with gratitude, focused on the path toward self-realization.
"Guru is Brahmā, Guru is Viṣṇu, Guru is Maheśa."
"The only thing which goes with is the mantra, japa, and the bhakti which we did."

Master should have equal vision
20:35 - 21:00 (25 min)
A master's teaching adapts to the student's background but arises from a place of non-discrimination. Teaching varies based on a student's inherent culture, like learning to cook at home versus from scratch. Language also shapes the delivery, as perfect translation of meaning is difficult. However, the true master holds no distinction in heart, like a sun shining on all. The story of Eklavya illustrates this: though formally rejected, his devotion to his guru as a statue made him a great archer. The master teaches from within, beyond speech, through divine love. Disciples who perceive favoritism are mistaken. The master knows each student's needs and administers many tests. True service is to see oneself not as a successor, but as eternally serving the guru.
"Love does not require any words. Love does not need any explanation."
"The master is like a sun, and the disciples are like all of us who benefit from the sunlight."

The Four Aspects of Grace and the Path to Self-Love
21:05 - 21:38 (33 min)
The four aspects of Kṛpā illuminate the path to self-love. Deva Kṛpā is the mercy of the gods, granting the human incarnation necessary for liberation. Śāstra Kṛpā is the mercy of the holy scriptures, which contain the teachings of the gurus. Guru Kṛpā is the mercy given by the guru, triggered by the disciple's devotion and service. Kuṭkī Kṛpā is the mercy one gives to oneself. This self-love is not ego, which is a low vibration of taking, but a high vibration of giving. Many avoid self-love, fearing it is ego, yet one cannot truly love others without loving oneself. A practical form is sending loving, healing energy to one's own body, which can have profound physical effects. The process to cultivate this begins with self-acceptance, proceeds through self-understanding via inquiry, and culminates in the desire to give and forgive oneself. This inner work is essential for spiritual growth.
"Love each and every living being, if not more, then at least as much as yourself."

Diwali Celebration
21:45 - 22:29 (44 min)
The Guru brings light to darkness, incarnating to liberate devotees and unite them in divine light. This Diwali commemorates Lord Rama's return, symbolizing the inner lamp Guru ignites within each heart through mantra and devotion. That flame must burn eternally, like the continuous lamp in the ashram. The Guru built this sacred space not for himself but for future generations; our duty is to preserve it. His grace alone is the disciple's auspiciousness.
"The Guru is the one who brings light to darkness."
"Once lit, that dīpa should not go out."

The Journey of the Soul: From the Ocean to the Drop
22:35 - 23:29 (54 min)
The soul's journey is from separation from the divine source back to union with it. The individual soul, or jīva, originates from the supreme oneness, like a water droplet separating from the ocean through evaporation. This droplet then longs to return. The cycle of the soul mirrors the water cycle: it ascends, travels, and descends back to earth, entering vegetation and bodies. Satsang is the boat to cross the ocean of separation, guided by the Guru or the holy scripture, which embodies the Guru's presence. Constant repetition of the divine name, like "Ram," is a highway to that goal. However, our physical actions create karma. We poison the earth and water with chemicals from soaps, cosmetics, and medicines, which is violence against nature and ourselves. True spirituality requires internal purity and non-violence in all conduct, as everything is counted. Liberation comes from realizing you cannot hide your actions from yourself or the divine.
"From the ocean, the jīva is in the water, the soul is in the water."
"This drop is called Jīva. And when this drop falls into the ocean, the Jīva becomes the Ātmā."

The Sole Necessity of Guru's Grace
23:35 - 0:22 (47 min)
Guru's grace is the sole reality. Without it, nothing is possible. All life exists within a web of interconnected grace. Parents give life and inherent blessings. The community, village, and even street animals provide protection and sustenance, reflecting divine care. This interconnected life is to be respected and loved. True spiritual duty may conflict with worldly attachments, as family may not comprehend or support a deeper calling. The ultimate test of devotion reveals that no worldly relationship can sacrifice for one's spiritual path. Only the guru's unconditional grace grants the disciple peace and fulfillment.
"Guru kṛpā hi kevalam. When Gurudeva’s blessing is present, then everything is possible."
