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.

"In the holy book Bhagavad Gītā, God Kṛṣṇa says, 'Arjuna, I enter into the vegetation as a nectar through the moonlight.'"

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. He shares a parable about a poor man whose selfless act of seeking answers for others ultimately solves his own plight, emphasizing the power of selfless service and positive speech.

Morning satsang with Vishwaguruji from Brisbane, Australia. We need power for everything. Incarnations have a weapon and also a blessing in their hands. Both Siva and Shakti is power. Now in the Kali-yuga devils are awakened. Siva is the God of the devas and devils also. The negative and positive sides also are within us. A story about a tongue and a tooth. Pranayam always must begin in the left nostril. The ocean is the power of the Earth. All five elements have their power. We need power positive but hard. During meditation, we should see our inner world. Practice and heory are completely different. When we chant OM our tongue should be relaxed.

An opening discourse for a spiritual retreat seminar on destiny, karma, and the human journey. "Destiny is the production of the actions, the karma." "God gave us freedom to do the karma. But he didn't give us the freedom to harvest the fruits of the karma." Swami begins the retreat with a prayer and addresses the assembly. He explains the law of karma as the source of destiny, using analogies like a SIM card's credit to describe the exhaustion of good karma leading to rebirth. He discusses the journey of the soul, the nature of heavenly realms, and the unique responsibility of human life, emphasizing purification through spiritual practice and the guidance of a Master. Stories, including one about a farmer and a devotee at heaven's gate, illustrate these principles.

A spiritual discourse on the human body as an instrument, chakras, and daily practice. "Our instruments in our body, and the instruments we use all day long, then we go to sleep. That is where we are going; we go to sleep." "First, I am human. When we think really, really, then the whole day we will not do anything wrong to other humans." Swami Ji addresses the morning gathering, using the fragility of translation equipment and a personal childhood story about a horse to illustrate the need for careful handling of all 'instruments'—including the human body.

"We pray that all creatures should live in peace, harmony, and health. God protect all. This is our Anuṣṭhāna for this year." A spiritual teacher explains the traditional practice of Anuṣṭhāna, a vowed observance for specific purposes like family harmony, health, or agricultural success.

A speaker delivers a profound satsang on the essence of the guru, explaining the guru's divine nature as the embodiment of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva.

He argues that one must integrate the roles of teacher and learner, awaken self-education within, and move beyond systems that create fixed identities.

A spiritual discourse on living in the present moment and the nature of past, present, and future. "Therefore, it is at present. Be in the present." "So the past is gone. The present is here.

An instructor addresses a group, advising them to release attachment to past experiences and future anxieties. He advocates for a simple, relaxed practice, contrasting it with other meditation techniques.

"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).
