Trust and faith
A morning satsang on faith, trust, and overcoming inner enemies.
"When we have faith in someone or something, when we trust in Gurudev and his vision, then things flow automatically in our life."
"If you become one with that guru and you become one and realize that he is observing, he knows everything, you tell everything to him inwardly."
The lecturer leads the second morning of a seminar, addressing distractions and the inner enemies like jealousy and the restless 'monkey mind'. He shares a story from the Lilā Amṛta about Holy Guruji's unwavering faith during a train journey without a ticket, illustrating complete surrender. The talk emphasizes realizing the self as the observer and uniting with the guru's consciousness.

Purify your body from poison
A spiritual discourse on the Viśuddhi chakra, happiness, and internal purification.
"Happiness is within ourselves. Peace is within ourselves. And unhappiness is from outside."
"It is said that in life, when we walk... beside you is walking your death. You can see it is like the shadow, the shadow of your body."
Swami Anand Arun leads an evening satsang, exploring the sources of happiness and unhappiness through analogies and stories. He uses the parable of a couple's 50-year misunderstanding over a piece of bread to illustrate how unspoken resentments act as a poison, stored in the Viśuddhi (purification) chakra. The talk connects this to the myth of Shiva consuming the cosmic poison, advocating for forgiveness, clear communication, and daily pranayama to purify this negative energy and prevent physical and emotional ailments.
