70 - The Grace of Babaji’s Kriya Yoga- Interview with Marshall Govindan (Satchidananda) by Viviana Czapracka-Gogacz on February 18, 2026 - Full Video

The interviewer, Viviana Czapracka, posed the following questions to Satchidananda. For your convenience the beginning and end times for each of these questions and his replies is given below each one:

First, how did you achieve everything that you have accomplished in one relatively short human life—55 years of experience, life, and devotion; thousands of people initiated; ashrams built; a website available in so many languages and full of resources; and books. One is truly speechless at how much can be achieved. My first question, therefore, is simply: how did you do it? In theory, I know the answer, but I would love to hear it directly from you. Start: 4:03. End: 32:33

Second, what do you consider to be your greatest achievement? I am not limiting this to the Kriya Yoga path, although inevitably it may be connected. Start: 32:33 End: 36.48

Third, could you explain the law of karma and the principles of how not to create new karma? Start: 36:48 End: 51:31

Fourth, how can we invite people into practice and discipline if they have not truly suffered, or if they are not as driven and motivated in their sadhana as you have been? Start: 51:31 End: 1:05:24

Fifth, could you share some stories about the playful ways of the Divine—moments you could not stop laughing about when they happened? Many people are very serious about their spiritual practice, and rightly so, as we all try to do our best. But from my own experience, I know there are also moments of serendipity—lilas of the Divine. I am sure that with your experience, you have many such stories to share. Start: 1:05:24 End: 1:20:06
