Jadan Ashram, District Pali, Rajasthan, India. Lecture by Swami Avatarpuriji. Explanation of the meaning of the world ashram.

The teaching explores meditation, karma, and the need for harmony between humanity and nature. "Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam"—success in yoga comes through skillful action, or karma yoga. The planet is described as both a mortal world (Mṛti Loka) and a living planet, a home for countless creatures, not just humans. A parable is shared of a master who continually built and dismantled huts in the Himalayas, illustrating the impermanent nature of the world (saṃsāra) and the necessity for selfless activity. The discourse contrasts the perfect God-made world with the imperfect, selfish man-made world, arguing that human greed and destruction have caused ecological and spiritual imbalance. It cites the principle ati sarvatra varjayet—excess is everywhere prohibited—and the warning that going against nature invites suffering. True meditation is presented as twofold: active meditation through karma yoga, which involves beneficial work for all beings, and passive meditation as a contemplative surrender to the divine after the day's duties. The story of the devotee Mīrā illustrates that perceiving the divine requires an inner vision cultivated through devotion. The ultimate message is that through selfless action, inner reflection, and seeing the divine in all creation, one can burn the seeds of karma and find freedom.

A prayer and spiritual address following an earthquake in Croatia. "Let us be in prayer for all of us." "He 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 by Śiva himself." The speaker opens with traditional invocations and a prayer for those affected by a recent earthquake. He discusses the event in the context of Kali Yuga, suggesting a divine balancing is underway. The core teaching is a call to protect all life—categorized as Jalchara, Thalchara, and Nabhachara (water, land, and sky beings)—by sharing food and not harming animals. He links this compassion to spiritual progress and recommends yoga practices, including Sarvahitāsan and prāṇāyāma, for personal and collective well-being. Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

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.
