In this satsang, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri speaks about the essential role of the Guru in removing ignorance and guiding true spiritual progress. Drawing from Shankaracharya and personal experience, he explains that without the living presence of a realized teacher, spiritual practice is often misunderstood—even if sincere. He addresses common misconceptions about scriptures, self-discipline, and Kriya Pranayama, clarifying that without direct perception and proper guidance, techniques may be incomplete. Yogivah Giri also shares stories about Yogananda and others to illustrate the difference between imagination and real spiritual connection, and why feeling prana is not the same as reading about it. The talk also covers Khechari Mudra, misconceptions about miracles, and the limits of conceptual understanding in spiritual life.
