A satsang discourse on the full moon's influence, human consciousness, and spiritual practice. "In the holy book Bhagavad Gītā, God Kṛṣṇa says, 'Arjuna, I enter into the vegetation as a nectar through the moonlight.'" "In yoga, we used to say a yoga practitioner and the yogī should be—or every human should be—like a honeybee. It brings nectar even from the poisonous cactus or some plants." Swami Paramadvaiti leads an evening talk, beginning with the spiritual and ecological significance of the full moon and the honeybee. He expands into a wide-ranging discussion covering the lunar effect on emotions, the importance of fasting, the journey of the soul through the chakras and at death, and the foundational principles of yoga for health and consciousness. He weaves in teachings on managing desires, subconscious impressions from early life, and the ultimate goal of meditation and mantra. Filming location: New York, USA

A spiritual discourse on the presence of hidden sages and the nature of true spirituality. "Often, at the Kumbh Melā, great sādhus speak of certain saints. Perhaps some are there at the Melā, or perhaps they are deep in the great Himalayas. They do not wish to come to us, yet they know everything." "Holī Gurujī said, 'One in all and all in one.' ... if one from one religion criticizes others, then this is not a true recipient, not a spiritual person." Swami Ji addresses the assembly, describing the great, invisible ṛṣis (sages) who protect humanity from hidden places like Himalayan glaciers. He emphasizes universal oneness, warning that criticizing others reveals one's own negativity, and shares a parable about a guru repeatedly saving a scorpion to illustrate maintaining one's compassionate nature regardless of others' actions.

"God has given us a beautiful body and a beautiful inner world, and from that beautiful inner world, more is reflected to the outer world." "Patañjali said the first word is... discipline. Yoga begins with the discipline." A teacher explains the nature of vṛtti—the thoughts and attention that stir the consciousness—using examples from Patañjali's Yoga Sūtra and everyday life. He discusses the interplay between the intellect and the heart, the influence of selfishness and desire, and the need for personal discipline (anuśāsanam) to ultimately achieve control of the mind (citta vṛtti nirodhaḥ).

A morning satsang on the guru's grace, devotion, and the power of teaching through stories. "Na’haṁ kartā means we are not the doer. We cannot do it. If we think we do, it may be confusing. So we give it with both our hands; we surrender it at the holy feet of Mahāprabhujī." "So, when someone asks you, and you give… The answer first to them. First, give your answers... The answer is yours because you are now a great man." The speaker, Swami Avatarpuri, opens with the principle of surrender to the guru's grace. He uses analogies, like a sculptor transforming stone into a worshipped deity, to illustrate how devotion elevates the ordinary.

Swami Umāpurījī addresses a global audience, teaching that confidence stems from surrendering daily life and sleep to God. Using metaphors of marriage, a mala's thread, and rain merging into the ocean, he explains that true oneness—beyond emotional attachment—prevents fear and suffering.
