Nadis and Chakras - energy channels and centers in the body
The subject is Kuṇḍalinī and the three primary nāḍīs, symbolically represented as sacred rivers. The 72,000 nāḍīs channel energy, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumnā being paramount. These correspond to the Gaṅgā, Yamunā, and Sarasvatī rivers. Their confluence symbolizes union and higher consciousness. Harmonizing these energies through practices like nāḍī śodhana prāṇāyāma is essential. This convergence occurs at the ājñā cakra, the point between the eyebrows, also called the third eye. When balanced, it can lead to trikāladarśī, perception of past, present, and future. The ultimate aim is for energy to ascend to the sahasrāra cakra, yielding supreme bliss and knowledge of Brahman. Four principles support this path: alpāhāra (moderate eating), vihāra (moving in harmonious environments), ācāra (good conduct), and vicāra (positive thinking). Kuṇḍalinī science allows one to become an inner engineer. True awakening is a gradual process of knowledge and purification, not dramatic physical phenomena. The diversity of spiritual paths reflects the beautiful variety of creation.
"The less food you eat, the more energy there is."
"When all comes together, then we get higher consciousness, samādhi."

Remembering Holy Guruji's Mahasamadhi
Every breath is a priceless diamond; do not squander it.
Time is very precious; time is money. Satsang is priceless, received without cost, but one is not worthy to enter it. The bliss of Brahman does not come again and again, so liberation is not possible. The cow serves alive and even after death; the human body is useless after death. Human beings have forgotten how to value time. Humanness is far away. One forgets the Giver, squandering on actions. The heart is stained with sin. One lies, gossips, sings impure songs, defaming the mind. The tongue is not worthy of singing the Lord’s songs. Not serving mother and father makes one unworthy of coming into this world. At every turn, let compassion, modesty, and a smile remain. One must attain life’s secret, renounce restlessness, control mind and senses, know oneself, and remain blissful. The mother of dharma is compassion; the father is contentment. One who serves parents is a true child. One who knows oneself is a human being.
“Every breath is a priceless diamond, it is not worthy of being squandered.”
“In life, one must attain the secret of life; one must renounce restlessness and unrighteousness.”

Christmas with Swamiji in Vienna
We celebrate the arrival of Jesus, a festival of peace, love, and unity. The world needs light, both physical and the divine light of wisdom within every being. Since organized religion began, division has followed, unlike the universal, indivisible consciousness of Sanātana Dharma. Human greed creates ownership and mental pollution, which is more dangerous than physical waste. Before a bomb destroys others, it destroys itself; similarly, negative thoughts first harm the one who holds them. We are called not to judge, but to forgive and to hate the sin, not the sinner. Modern celebrations have become materialistic and polluting, especially with single-use plastics, which now seem immortal. The true gift is non-material, offered openly without harmful packaging. Our spiritual duty is selfless service, to pass on immortal wisdom. A true disciple, like Jesus, endures suffering without abandoning principle to deliver a divine message. We must write and share immortal wisdom through devotion and trust.
"Forgive them; they do not know what they are doing."
"We hate the sin, but not the sinner."

Around the world - World peace in your hands
Peace is in your hands, and inner peace is the foundation for world peace. A practical yoga system was created to address modern life's problems, now practiced globally. This system is an accredited university course and a tool for hospital rehabilitation. The organization is a UN-affiliated non-profit working for human rights, environmental protection, and universal welfare. Humanitarian projects include a large educational institute in India shaped like the Om symbol, a school for handicapped children, and a planned hospital. In drought areas, it provides free fire services and a rainwater harvesting initiative. The founder has initiated international peace summits and a world peace forum, promoting interfaith dialogue for decades. His efforts have been recognized with awards from global leaders for advancing citizens' holistic health. The core message is that personal transformation is essential for global change.
"All elements are balanced in a perfect way, and that balancing principle, that is what I call yoga."
"Be the change you want to see."
Around the world - YIDL at he Sziget Festival Budapest 2011
Yoga is offered as a sanctuary within a large music festival. For eleven years, we provide a daily practice, showing festival-goers how to relax deeply. Many newcomers try yoga here for the first time. We adapt to the fast-paced environment by offering 20-25 minute sessions tailored to individual requests for rest, asana, or meditation. Initial interest often comes from seeing dynamic asana practice. We always begin with simple, grounding exercises, not advanced postures. We emphasize preserving the tradition's purity and spirituality, contrasting with the popular strength-based styles. Our presence in this community space is essential, as many might not seek out a dedicated center. People practice even amidst loud music, achieving a withdrawal of the senses. This demonstrates that deep relaxation is possible anywhere.
"Based on this, our prepared yoga instructors tailor the session accordingly."
"The astonishing experience we have is that at most they achieve pratyāhāra, the withdrawal of the senses, so that they are absolutely undisturbed by what is happening outside."
