Practicing led by Vishwaguruji
A relaxing movement practice for the body.
Lie down with legs straight and together, hands straight back. Remain relaxed and do not adjust clothing. Bring both legs straight up, then down, keeping the body still. Place palms under shoulders, bend elbows, and raise the trunk before lowering again. Raise both arms and legs together while inhaling deeply. Interlock the thumbs and hold the feet behind the back, then rock forward and back. Practice stillness and maintain straight legs. Conclude by sitting up normally and relaxing.
"Relax. Be very relaxed."
"Inhale very deeply and stay as long as you can."

Yagya
The sacred union of marriage is a spiritual dharma that creates a single entity for the journey toward heaven. Husband and wife reunite through their astral bodies after death, regardless of who departs first. This union is essential for performing a proper yajña, requiring a sympathetic couple. Dharma, or cosmic justice, is administered by Dharmarāja and Yamarāja, with Śiva as their master. A married couple is like a bird with two wings; divorce breaks these wings and the spiritual path. The promise made during marriage is sacred, given upon a holy book to the divine principle itself, not merely to a priest. Breaking this promise invokes the justice of Dharmarāja and the consequences of Yama. For those who mutually choose a celibate spiritual path while honoring their bond, the way to heaven remains open. The ceremonial fire of yajña, using pure substances like guggul, aligns the couple on the dharmic path. Similarly, the guru-disciple relationship through dīkṣā is a sacred bond not to be abandoned. One must remain faithful to one's spiritual master as to one's mother.
"Husband and wife, having already walked their path in this life, will reunite through their astral bodies in another part of the universe."
"A bird cannot fly without wings. When you have married once... It means broken wings, broken legs, a broken heart. That is not your path."

Relationships between brothers and sisters
Rakṣā Bandhan celebrates the sacred bond of brotherhood and sisterhood. This festival reminds us of our fundamental relationships. It is a call to revive the pure, unconditional connections that form society's foundation. The bond between brother and sister exemplifies a love deeper than mere emotion, rooted in protection and promise. True relationships are soul to soul, not based on status or intellect. Brotherhood fosters peace through kindness, respect, and forgiveness, not just words. Cultivating such bonds without condition is the essence of this observance. It is a step toward universal harmony.
"Don’t always repeat love, love, love. Respect is love. Protection is love. Kindness is love."
"The ancient festivals were not just any festivals; they were there for us to remember in our hearts what bonds, relationships, and what we have promised."

Prayers To Gurudev
The Divine Mother is the first form of God, and the Guru is that divine consciousness.
Every day is Mother's Day. The Upaniṣad states: "Mātṛ Devo Bhava"—God is the mother first. See God as a merciful mother, not as a punisher. People die by their own karma, not by God's hand. Feel close to God. Do not cause pain to any mother, human or animal. Surrender all responsibility to the divine. Realization of the Gurudev is self-realization; it is not an object to be given. The disciple's consciousness must transform to see the Guru as the divine. The Guru is not the body but the Ātmā—the pure, universal consciousness within all. This consciousness is like the sky: omnipresent, pure, and indescribable. Meditate on this truth to awaken. Duality is an illusion; there is only oneness. Serve this divine consciousness without condition.
"God does not kill anyone. People die through their own karma."
"The Guru is Ātmā, not this body, not this mind, not this intellect."

The Path of Oṃ, Yoga, and Inner Purification
The path of yoga and the sound of Oṃ leads to liberation. Learning Oṃ is easy, but many do not fully intone it. Understanding yoga begins with Aum. Chanting Oṃ from the navel to the crown chakra makes meditation peaceful. Prāṇāyāma serves physical health and yogic consciousness. Modern practice often focuses only on postures, but yoga has no competition; challenge arises from ego. True practice is for all, not only ascetics. Laziness is not yoga. The body contains 72,000 nāḍīs, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā being primary. These channels influence health and mind. The Viśuddhi Cakra purifies poison, like anger, which harms the body. Unresolved anger causes suffering in relationships and health. Small grievances create major pain; clear them immediately. Inner purification through the chakras cleanses negativity. Practice requires discipline, not using meditation as an escape. The face reveals one's inner state; nothing can be hidden. Various yogas lead to supreme consciousness. Meditation means focusing only on the mantra to find inner peace.
"According to yogic sādhanā, if we can understand what yoga is, then the first path is definitely Aum."
"In yoga, there is no competition and no challenge. We do not give the challenge. If you want to give the challenge, then it means you have lost, because now you are the ego."
