    Stop Chasing Miracles—Realize the Witness Within

    Paramahansa Yogivah Giri challenges the common Kriya Yoga temptation to chase miracles, visions, and “special” belonging. He argues that fascination with levitation, shapeshifting, and supernatural stories excites imagination and strengthens the mind—exactly what meditation is meant to quiet. He reframes the whole pursuit: miracles are events, but the witness of events is the deeper reality. The real “supernatural,” he says, is your own consciousness—what sees, knows, and remains when every association is renounced. He also corrects misunderstandings about renunciation and technique. Leaving family or going to the Himalayas doesn’t solve identification, because association simply relocates; real renunciation is internal withdrawal of prana from the senses through correct Kriya method, bringing attention to the spiritual eye and moving beyond subtle experiences into stillness.   Key insights include: •Why meditation requires turning off imagination, not feeding it with spiritual stories •Miracles as distractions vs the power of the witness-consciousness •How “Kriya Yoga club” identity can block self-realization •Renunciation as disassociation from everything witnessed—sensations, feelings, roles, memories •Why external changes (clothes, Sanskrit talk, group services) don’t equal realization •Faith without experience stays unstable; practice must verify truth directly •Om/Hongsaw framed as a pranic process, not mere repetition of “om” •Kundalini conflict explained as awakened energy pulling up while desires pull down Timestamps:
 00:00 Isolation from the external world in meditation 02:25 Qualified initiation vs organizational initiation 05:10 Miracles, levitation, and the stimulation of mind 08:05 Renouncing identity: culture, body, organization 12:10 Why leaving life behind isn’t true renunciation 16:05 Memories as the core obstacle (Ramana Maharshi) 20:15 “Spiritual circus” vs authentic practice 25:40 Om as the primordial word vs imagination-based chanting 30:10 Prana withdrawal and sense shut-down as inner renu

    The Priority of Sadhana over the Spiritual Circus

    In this satsang, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri speaks on the distinction between true spiritual practice and the “circus” of spirituality. He reflects on why Babaji kept only a few disciples, the misconceptions about lineages and gurus, and the real qualities of an avatar—complete selflessness and lack of self-concern. Emphasizing sadhana as the true adventure of life, he explains how karma is weakened through practice, why miracles and popularity distract from inner realization, and how devotion to daily practice shapes both this life and the next.

    Purity Is Where You Belong: Karma, Meditation, and the Real Meaning of Spiritual Growth

    In this wide-ranging Q&A satsang, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri speaks directly and intimately on the unseen factors that shape human nature—karma, past lives, environment, and character. He addresses questions on spiritual betrayal, the misuse of Kriya Yoga, and how unvetted seekers can dilute authentic practice. With grounded honesty, he explains why “devilish” tendencies may persist even in so-called spiritual people and emphasizes the importance of inner purity and vetting before initiation. Gurudev also explores the mind’s instability, recounting his own vivid dreams and the subtle disturbances that come from spiritual and mental unrest. He shares practices for regaining inner equilibrium—through scripture, nature, water, or connecting with the spiritual eye—and discusses proper meditation as not just technique, but deep serenity. The dialogue extends into subtle realms: astral karma, the formless absolute, the role of divine beings, and the transformative presence of snakes in meditation. Yogivah Giri warns against becoming distracted by mystical phenomena, encouraging focus on the infinite instead. Offering guidance on family obligations, spiritual friendship, the symbolic value of snakes, and the silent power of Divine Mother, this satsang closes with a personal reflection on his longing to return to India and the purity he now finds essential: “If your strong desire, association, and comfort is purity, then you’re on your way.”

    Knowledge vs. Ritual: The Real Path to Self-Realization

    In this raw and uncompromising satsang, Yogivah Giri cuts through spiritual pretense to reveal what authentic practice actually looks like. Drawing from Shankaracharya's "Knowledge of the Self" (Atma Bodha), he explains why direct knowing—not rituals, reading, or trying to be calm—is the only path to liberation. Key insights include: Why most Kriya Yoga practitioners never achieve self-realization despite decades of practice The difference between genuine knowledge and spiritual concepts or book learning How purification through austerities prepares the ground for real understanding Why pain and suffering continue even for realized masters, and what this actually means The role of repetition in spiritual practice—like washing a dirty puppy with repeated pourings of water Why touching a master's feet physically matters more than mental devotion How to test whether someone claiming to be a guru is authentic The illusion of trying to "be spiritual" versus authentic transformation Yogivah shares personal experiences including recent physical and emotional challenges, explaining how a master relates to pain and suffering differently than ordinary consciousness. He addresses questions about why masters suffer, the nature of miracles, and why external practices alone cannot produce realization. This is not comfortable spiritual teaching—it's direct transmission from someone speaking from experience rather than concepts. For serious practitioners ready to move beyond spiritual games and face the reality of what genuine practice requires.

    You Are Not the Body: Simplicity and Dispassion

    In this talk, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri recounts stories from his early life and discusses themes of simplicity, dispassion, and detachment. He reflects on the story of the cow as an analogy for how life becomes complicated through attachments. He emphasizes that God-realization is simple, while worldly life remains unsatisfying and cyclical. Yogivah Giri shares his past-life memory of being beheaded and how that deep disappointment led to genuine dispassion. He speaks at length about the illusion of progress through technique and criticizes how Kriya Yoga is often misunderstood as a path of external perfection. He distinguishes between physical and spiritual practice, saying that real advancement comes not from discipline alone but from disidentifying with the body and realizing the Self. The talk also discusses the limits of scripture without guidance, the importance of association with the God-realized, and the misconceptions many hold about spiritual teachers, spiritual jobs, and institutional Kriya paths. Yogivah emphasizes that true realization cannot be faked and that advanced practice involves entering the breathless state—not through effort, but through direct experience. He gives personal observations on spiritual figures, stories of his youth, time spent with Mahatmas, the simplicity of the mantra’s purpose, and the vital importance of remembering each day: I am not the physical body.

    The Bhagavad Gita as Light in All Directions

    In this episode, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri reflects deeply on the Bhagavad Gita as the essence of all scriptures. He emphasizes, “The Gita is the total essence of all scriptures… it is always dispelling darkness.” Yogivah Giri affirms that the Gita is not symbolic—it is literal truth and living guidance for every endeavor: “The Gita is like the guiding light of the North Star… it applies light to whatever your interest is.” He shares that true understanding arises not only through reading but “with the aid of a guru… someone you can look in the eye, someone you can touch.” The guru, he reminds us, is not an invisible spirit, but a realized human presence who helps reveal the Gita’s wisdom. The talk explores the five mental states encountered in meditation and the essential difference between kriya practice and true yoga. Through personal stories of surrender, simplicity, and renunciation, Yogivah Giri demonstrates that “only by taking recourse in the Gita” can one face life’s trials with peace, devotion, and clarity.

    The Tree of Ignorance & the Power of Sadhana

    In this episode, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri shares a vivid analogy of spiritual awakening: comparing the removal of a massive tree to the gradual elimination of karma and ignorance. He explains how true progress begins with small efforts, and how the grace of the Guru and Divine Mother can ultimately liberate the soul. “You remove the whole tree, but the root system—Parabdha karma—remains, only to exhaust itself over time.” Through reflections on selfless service, the limits of book knowledge, and the supreme clarity found in the Bhagavad Gita, the talk guides listeners toward simplicity, devotion, and unwavering daily sadhana. “Meditation and connecting to God is easy,” he says. “Just practice the technique.”
