For meditation we need calmness
1:05 - 2:06 (61 min)
A spiritual discourse on the prerequisites for true meditation and self-realization.
"If you are restless and you meditate, then you become even more restless."
"Mokṣa only can give Gurudev... And that guru is not what we are thinking, could be only in physical form."
A teacher addresses a gathering, explaining that discipline and a pure, guru-focused devotion are essential to overcome restlessness and attain meditation. He uses stories of Ramakrishna, Vivekananda, and a parable about a bamboo surrendering to God to illustrate the necessity of grace and surrender. The talk covers the pitfalls of ego, the levels of consciousness, and briefly touches on the yogic science of chakras and sacred sounds.

Sources of happiness
2:10 - 3:32 (82 min)
Health is the foundational wealth for happiness, achieved through the balance of yoga and Āyurveda.
Health is the first wealth; without it, everything is nothing. Yoga and Āyurveda are two wings for balance: yoga harmonizes astral energy and emotions, while Āyurveda maintains physical health. The primary happiness is a healthy body. The second is having sufficient resources to feed one's family and guests, avoiding greed, which is insatiable like a beggar's bottomless pot made from the human mind. The third happiness is harmony and mutual understanding between husband and wife. The fourth is obedient children. The fifth is good neighbors and social harmony. Worry is a destructive termite that erodes health. Āyurveda is the knowledge of life, focusing on nourishment and natural remedies. Desires, especially of the tongue, are enemies to control. The soul is like a queen bee; when it departs, the bodily systems follow. Simple Āyurvedic techniques, like gentle touch or using a feather, can alleviate issues. Purification practices like Śaṅkhaprakṣālana should align with seasonal changes. True well-being comes from natural living, not excessive consumption or artificial means.
"Health is not everything, but everything is nothing without health."
"The first wealth is good health."

Two kinds of power
3:40 - 4:46 (66 min)
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.
Discover peace and happiness within you
4:50 - 5:54 (64 min)
Vishwaguru Maheshwarananda Public Lecture, Kosice, Slovak Republic. Vishwaguruji reveals the secrets of our birth. We come from the beautiful Universe with peace and happiness within. This kind of realization is awakened by practicing meditation.

Why we do Anusthan
7:15 - 8:15 (60 min)
Anuṣṭhāna is a dedicated spiritual practice undertaken for a specific purpose. You make a saṅkalpa, a promise to yourself, to perform sādhanā for spiritual growth, health, success, or family harmony. It is often done for one's spouse, praying for their well-being, fostering oneness in the household. This practice extends to praying for good crops and rain, offering the first harvest to God as a blessing. True harmony is seen in traditional multi-generational families where all live as one community, in contrast to modern fragmentation. Anuṣṭhāna also means praying for all creatures and the natural world, recognizing our responsibility to animals and plants. The practice includes physical austerity, but accommodations are made for health reasons, as the intention comes from the heart. Ultimately, anuṣṭhāna is a prayer for universal peace and happiness, embracing the mantra "sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ"—may all be happy.
"Anuṣṭhāna is when you make a saṅkalpa. Saṅkalpa means you promise yourself to undertake a practice for a certain purpose."
"We pray that all creatures should live in peace, harmony, and health. God protect all. This is our Anuṣṭhāna."

Stories are within you
8:20 - 9:18 (58 min)
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. The talk concludes with personal anecdotes about the value of stories as a tool for learning and connection.

Prayer will reach our chakras
9:25 - 10:11 (46 min)
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. He outlines an ideal morning routine of gratitude, starting with recognizing one's humanity and honoring parents and the Earth. The talk introduces a long-term study of chakras and kuṇḍalinī, while cautioning against fear and emphasizing that everyone is already divine and should proceed naturally under a true guru's guidance.

Past is gone future is not here yet
10:15 - 10:59 (44 min)
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. But you think, 'In the future, I will also get this.' But you will not get it. That’s it."
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. Using stories, such as a dog losing its bread by coveting a reflection, he illustrates the futility of dwelling on what is gone or what might be, emphasizing that true practice (Anuṣṭhāna) is about being grounded in the now.

The Four Aspects of Grace and the Path to Self-Love
11:05 - 11:38 (33 min)
The video explores the four aspects of grace, culminating in a detailed explanation of self-love or Kuṭkī Kṛpā. "Love each and every living being, if not more, then at least as much as yourself." "We cannot really love others if we don’t love ourselves."
The teaching defines Deva Kṛpā (divine grace for human incarnation), Śāstra Kṛpā (grace through scriptures), Guru Kṛpā (the Guru's grace), and finally, Kuṭkī Kṛpā, which is one's own grace or self-love. This self-love is framed not as ego but as a high vibrational energy essential for spiritual growth. A practical method for cultivating it is presented through a three-step inner process: accept yourself as you are, seek to understand how you became that way through self-inquiry, and then move to giving, which includes forgiving yourself. A true story illustrates the healing power of sending love to one's own body. The session concludes with a parable about Guru Nānak's disciples, explaining how present actions interact with past karma, demonstrating that good deeds like attending satsaṅg can purify severe past karma, transforming major suffering into minor hardship.

Unity, love, forgiveness, and devotion
11:45 - 12:28 (43 min)
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.

Rishis are protecting us
12:35 - 13:30 (55 min)
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.

The lecturer addresses the global Yoga in Daily Life community, using analogies of families, children, and the water cycle to illustrate the fundamental oneness underlying all yoga schools, religions, and human beings. He emphasizes respect for all traditions and lineages while cautioning against the discord created by attachment to names and identities.

He shares a story of disciples fighting over a guru's legs to illustrate non-duality, and concludes with a guided Brahmārī Prāṇāyāma technique.

16:45 - 16:58 (13 min)

The talk meanders through various memories, highlighting the deep devotion of disciples and the pervasive, guiding presence of the guru in all aspects of life.

The Healing Bridge: Integrating Yoga into Modern Medicine
17:00 - 17:09 (9 min)
The integration of yoga offers a holistic complement to modern medicine. After surgeries, I reflect on what more could have been done for patients beforehand. Our globalized, rapid, and restless world induces psychosomatic issues that current Western medicine may not fully address. While surgery handles structural problems, many conditions could be resolved alternatively. I apply the Yoga in Daily Life system on three levels. First, as prevention, inspiring patients to integrate practice early to reduce future healthcare burdens. Second, as a supportive adjunct to enhance conventional treatments. Third, as the primary treatment for specific ailments, especially psychosomatic ones like spinal pain. I advise patients to practice the complete system, not seek quick fixes. When they engage wholly, they often resolve their own issues and do not return. People suffer from seeking rapid, universalized treatments that often fail. Yoga provides excellent methods for both prevention and fostering well-being.
"People suffer because they are globalized, rapid, and restless. Consequently, they seek quick, rapid, and universalized medications and treatments—an approach that often fails."
"Practice the Yoga in Daily Life system as a complete system. I encourage them not to seek a quick, rapid fix, but to follow the exercises and return after two or three months to discuss their problem."

The Silent Revolution: Yoga as the Antidote to Mind Pollution and Failed Leadership
17:15 - 17:38 (23 min)
We need a silent revolution in leadership and consciousness. Old models have failed, creating crisis. Leaders are overwhelmed, lack self-awareness, and cannot inspire, leaving people disengaged. The solution is changing leaders. We are entering a cognitive age where mind care is paramount. Control your thoughts, for they become your destiny. Media exaggerates violence; data shows heart disease and cancer are far greater threats. The real danger is mind pollution—the poisoning of our minds. Yoga is for non-violence and peace. It is a systematic science for mastering the mind and achieving inner peace. A peaceful society guarantees the right to self-realization. Yoga accelerates human growth and is vital for well-being and social harmony. We must go public, integrate yoga into all education and leadership training, and promote it globally.
"Control your thoughts, for they trigger your emotions and feelings. Control your emotions, for they become your words."
"Yoga is a systematic, conscious science of human development. Its main technique is gaining mastery over the mind, stopping the internal dialogue."

The Divine Lineage of Alakpurījī: Saints, Siddhas, and the Eternal Guru
17:45 - 18:15 (30 min)
The divine lineage flows from the Himalayan Siddha Pīṭha of Alakpurījī. This holy place in the high valleys near Badrināth is where Alaknandā and another river meet. Great beings incarnate in every yuga to protect dharma and liberate souls. These are the Nityāvatāra, the eternal gurus embodying the creator, sustainer, and dissolver principles. They often move hidden in the world. A seeker named Devapurījī received Alakpurījī's light and blessings, gaining great siddhis. He later bestowed this light upon Bhagavān Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī, an incarnation of Viṣṇu. Mahāprabhujī's dear disciple was Śrī Svāmī Madhavānandapurījī, whose divine birth we commemorate. The path requires complete surrender, not a desire for quick miracles. When God calls, one must be ready to go.
"O Arjuna, from time to time I incarnate in every yuga to protect the dharma, to liberate all the pure souls."
"Guru Brahma, Guru Viṣṇu, Guru Devo Maheśvara, Guru Sākṣāt Para Brahma, Tasmai Śrī Guruve Namaha."

We are one family
18:55 - 19:12 (17 min)
A satsang on spiritual family, surrender, and practice within a guru-disciple lineage.
"This is our Gurudeva, our father and mother. So spiritually, we have our home here."
"If you have complete faith, if you have one hundred percent trust, that is what matters. And that faith, the number one rule, is surrendering."
A spiritual teacher addresses a gathering, welcoming both longtime and new disciples. She describes the ashram as a spiritual home and the guru as a parental figure, contrasting these eternal bonds with temporary worldly family ties born of karma. She emphasizes the necessity of complete faith and surrender to the guru for solving life's problems, linking this to the need for inner purification through mantra, prayer, and satsang. The talk concludes with a call to sing the surrender mantra Nāhaṁ Karatā and the Guru Brahma prayer.

The value and the aim of humanlife
20:40 - 21:09 (29 min)
A spiritual discourse on the value of human life and the pursuit of self-realization.
"We do not know the value of a human life. When a merchant comes—like a divine master, a spiritual master such as Viśvagurujī—into your life, you have an experience."
"Our main aim as humans is to work for self-realization, for mokṣa, for jñāna, for brahma jñāna. Yet we are not working."
A speaker from the Oṁ Śrī Alagpuryā Siddha Pīṭha paramparā addresses a gathering at the Yoga and Daily Life center. He uses parables—a diamond mistaken for a stone and a king's exhibition—to illustrate how humans often miss life's supreme spiritual purpose while distracted by worldly attractions. He emphasizes that the aim of human life is self-realization, achievable by following the Guru's teachings, engaging in satsaṅg, and turning inward to discover divine energy and inner joy.
