Morning practice from Strilky
Today's practice is Vajrāsana, Bhāvan Muktā Āsana, and Marjari with breathwork.
We follow the sequence from the book, omitting the lying-down part due to space.
Begin with hands crossed above the head, lower slowly.
Place straight hands in front, palms facing up.
Inhale, bring fingers to the shoulders, elbows forward.
Exhale, extend the arms to the front.
Repeat this breath-linked movement multiple times.
Sit in Vajrāsana, then straighten the legs.
For Bhāvan Muktā Āsana, sit with straight back and relaxed shoulders.
Inhale, bring the right knee to the chest.
Exhale, forehead toward the knee, hold above the knee.
Remain for four breaths, then release.
Repeat with the left leg.
Bring the tailbone toward the heels, hold the knee, straighten the leg.
Place the foot on the thigh, hold the toes.
Perform Marjari with breath, moving up and down.
Then practice bārikhāṭu with mantra: count one, two, three, then four, five, seven through nineteen, twenty-four to twenty-seven.
Those in poor health sit aside.
"We will follow the sequence from the book, but we cannot do the part that requires lying down because there is not enough space for everyone."
"Stay in this position for only four breaths, then inhale and slowly relax your body."

Moksha Will Not Come Without Guru Kripa
Compassion is the root of righteousness and the foundation of spiritual life. The lives of holy figures demonstrate this. Mother Mary endured profound suffering, from giving birth in a stable to witnessing her son's crucifixion, yet maintained mercy. Similarly, the mother of Krishna suffered the loss of six children but did not abandon compassion. The lives of saints are never easy; they are often met with misunderstanding and persecution. True compassion means seeing the divine self in all creatures. The ego, the sense of "I," is the root of sin and blocks this mercy. Compassion is a practice: removing thorns from a path, giving food without judgment, and speaking kind words that calm the heart. These actions plant seeds that multiply. While wealth is necessary in this world, one must not be enslaved by it. The ultimate goal requires the grace of a true guide. Never abandon compassion as long as life remains.
"All creatures in this world are my ātmā, myself."
"Never give up your compassion, your mercy, as long as you have a life in your heart."

Yoga brings you back to Thyself
Yoga is a science of body, mind, and soul, not merely a physical exercise. Its essence is spirituality; without it, humanity suffers, like a body without life. Yoga purifies physical and mental impurities, known as vikāras, which include disease, jealousy, anger, and greed. Practice removes these obstacles, leading to clear consciousness and unity. All spiritual paths ultimately lead to one divine source, beyond fanaticism. Integrating spirituality with daily practice through asana, pranayama, and meditation is essential for true self-realization and peace.
"Yoga without spirituality is like a body without a soul."
"Yoga is that science and that quality which will save humanity."

Help for Nepal
Compassion and selfless service are the supreme spiritual practice. A devastating calamity has struck Nepal, causing immense suffering. The global community, especially India, has provided immediate relief through funds, personnel, and rescue operations. True spirituality manifests as active compassion, seeing all beings as one family. Service to others cleanses the heart and brings profound inner peace, connecting the individual soul to the Supreme. The physical practice of yoga is valuable, but its essence is the union of body, mind, and spirit, symbolized by the sacred sound Om. This universal science of harmonization transcends all religious boundaries.

The Guru will never die
The many forms of yoga are a beautiful garden of diverse flowers, all leading to the same truth. All teachers and techniques are valuable parts of one whole, like different children of the same parents. Harmony among all paths is essential; we must unite in Satya Yoga. The Guru's blessings are eternal, transcending the physical body. Criticizing other paths reveals a burning heart and causes inner harm. Modern medicine and ancient wisdom both have their place in preserving life. The soul is attached to the body but seeks release. Specific practices like Brahmari pranayama use sound to heal and awaken the system through careful, gradual practice.
"All yoga teachers, yoga practitioners, their schools, and their ashrams should be in harmony together."
"One in all and all in one."
