Science of chakras
Yoga is the union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness, achieved through harmony and balance. The cosmic energy governs the universe, and this principle of union was discovered by ancient yogis. The individual soul is a spark of the divine light, present in all life. We originate from the cosmic sound and are composed of the five elements. Our journey involves many births, guided by karma, as the soul moves through forms and relations. The human body contains dormant energy centers called chakras, connected by 72,000 channels. Three primary channels—Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna—regulate energy, mind, and activity, converging at key points to form the chakras. These centers correspond to the elements and levels of consciousness, from the earthly Muladhara to the divine Sahasrara. Activating these centers through practice leads toward liberation.
"Yoga means union—the union of the individual consciousness with the cosmic consciousness."
"What is existing in the universe is existing in your body."

Surrender and find perfect peace
Concentration is achieved through steady, lifelong practice, not a single answer. Maintain daily disciplined practice; the inner longing must continue like a tailor's machine that runs while he is distracted. Do not expect to stop thoughts while the senses are active; that one-pointed state is for rare attainment. Therefore, the primary path is surrender, placing the burden of life at the Guru's feet for perfect rest. Life is love; to have love, become a friend. Friendship means two walking the path of truth together. Increase your friends, forgive mistakes, and live doing good, positive actions with meditation and prayer.
"Keep on practicing. One day, you will be in perfection without concentration."
"Prem Hi Jīvan He, love is life. If in life you have no love, it’s not life."

Bhajans singing from Strilky
Devotion centers on the guru's feet as the ultimate refuge and source of grace. The seeker's entire spiritual journey is directed toward this sacred focus. All effort and aspiration culminate in surrender at this divine threshold. The feet represent the complete embodiment of the teacher's wisdom and compassion. They are the portal through which worldly attachment is severed. Approaching them requires reverence, patience, and a gentle, steady resolve. The grace flowing from them is the supreme gift that liberates the soul.
"The mind's sole attachment is to the guru's feet."
"Grace is the donation of the feet, the feet..."

Bhajan evening in Strilky Ashram
Without a true mind, nothing is purified. The mind cannot be purified without being true. Whether one performs austerities or pilgrimages, or practices yoga and samadhi, all is in vain without the true mind. The grace of the Satguru is essential. Upon seeing the Guru's form, the mind can attain supreme ecstasy. All spiritual practices depend on the Guru's word and grace. The true mind and the Guru's grace are the sole means to the divine.

Bhajan singing from Slovenska Vas
Attain true knowledge and unity through devotion and righteous conduct. Pursue real knowledge by following spiritual association and duty, abandoning aimless wandering. Purify the heart by contemplating sacred texts and cultivating love for the humble. Cease all internal quarreling. Emulate the great saints who endured severe trials. Through meditation on the divine, achieve self-independence. This attainment brings both spiritual and worldly prosperity. Meeting the formless, unsupported Guru brings unity through divine sight and song.
"Remove all impurities and reflect upon the Vedas and Purāṇas. Have love in your heart for the meek."
"Meditate on Śiva Śaṅkara and attain svarāja, self-independence. Then you will gain great wealth, both spiritual and worldly."
