Keep the body healthy
The human life is a rare and precious opportunity to purify karma and realize the soul's nature. The soul, or jīva, is the same essence within all beings, from an ant to an elephant. It takes birth according to its past actions, cycling through countless forms. Negative speech and harmful thoughts create karma that returns to the speaker. One must perform good actions, show kindness to all creatures, and purify the mind. Karma does not forgive; only personal effort through right living and spiritual practice can cleanse it. The human body cannot be bought or rewound; it is a chance to achieve liberation. True spiritual practice is internal, not defined by external robes. Nourish the body with pure food and balance the inner energies through yoga. The goal is to awaken the inner consciousness and become free.
"Two things: time will not wait for us, and karma will not forgive us."
"The bullet in the gun and the word in your mouth are the same. A bullet can kill you, and one word can kill you."

The Bamboo and the Roots of Sādhanā
Sādhanā grows like bamboo—invisible roots deepening long before any shoot appears. Patience is essential. The fruit of patience is sweeter. Our kriyās, mantras, and sādhanā create deep roots in consciousness. Harmony and unity are what this community needs now. A great being helps others, not themselves. That is not svadharma. If they wished, healing would take a millisecond. Now they rest, watching, testing how the work continues. The seed was planted and watered. Now maintenance is needed. Taking care of what exists is enough. Upholding this requires everyone. The older generation must train the younger. We rely on each other. An āśram functions through volunteer service, karma yoga, sevā. Without harmony, inner peace means nothing. This is one family across all countries. Come to āśrams because they are home. Support each other’s centers. Even a brief visit uplifts. There is no language barrier—feelings are understood. Keep this family together through unity, not individuality. The community must come as one united divine force.
"Sabar kā phal mīṭhā hotā, which means the fruit of patience is always much sweeter."
"Yogīs, Mahāpuruṣas, they help others; they do not help themselves. It is not svadharma, it is paradharma."

Practicing of the system 'Yoga in Daily Life', Level 2 - Part 1
The practice advances to the second level of āsanas and prāṇāyāma. Level two introduces seventeen postures, beginning and ending on the floor with standing poses in between. This level engages the real practice of āsana. Each posture follows a sequence: start from a position of concentration, move into the form, then either hold with normal breath or return. The effect is felt upon returning. Practice begins with OṂ, breathing, and relaxation. Full yoga breath combines abdominal, thoracic, and clavicular parts into a wave. Movement is then added to this breath. Āsanas include Śaśāṅkāsana, Meru Ākaraṇa Āsana, Bhūnamanā Āsana, Aśva Sanchalāsana, Utthāna Prastha Āsana, and standing poses like Hasta Uttānāsana and Akaraṇa Dhanur Āsana. Each has specific benefits and some contraindications. Practice concludes with systematic relaxation, alternate-nostril prāṇāyāma to balance energy and brain hemispheres, and OṂ chanting.
"Every āsana has its starting position, in which you concentrate on the movement and the āsana you will perform."
"The breathing can guide you very deep inside towards your inner self."

The Path of Conscious Living and Mercy
The soul's purification through yoga and mercy is essential in this age. We gather in a place with strong spiritual vibration, welcoming many from around the world. This practice is global and neutral, unrelated to religion, focusing solely on liberating the soul. We are covered by ignorance and karma, often acting without knowing the consequences, which causes suffering for the body, family, and environment. The inner soul suffers greatly. The science of yoga in daily life is for developing spirituality, gaining clarity, and purifying karma to seek forgiveness for unconscious acts. A key difference exists between religion and spirituality; spiritual purity cleanses negative karma. We possess intellect and discernment, but must follow our inner wisdom over ignorance or ego. Central to this is karuṇā, or mercy, which must extend to all living beings. Every creature values its life and feels fear. The demand for meat creates a chain of harm, with major karmic responsibility falling on the consumer. This action, often done unconsciously, creates a cover over the soul, hindering liberation. Purification comes through sincere practice, prayer, and mantras, leading to higher consciousness.
"O God, you are known as equal-visioned. You do not count our sin."
"Therefore, the science of yoga in daily life was developed, and millions of people practice around the world."

The name is very important
Yoga is one universal path originating from the divine. Many great masters have taught it under different names and forms, yet all lead to the same goal. The essence is not merely physical exercise or intellectual knowledge but a journey toward the cosmic Self. All traditions and teachers who bring peace and harmony are valid. Human differences in appearance, thought, or tradition are natural, but the underlying unity is fundamental. The practice requires internal purification of the mind, not just discussion. Techniques like neti and dhoti are practical means for this cleansing. Dedication and surrender make everything possible on this path.
"Everyone's yoga is good."
"Dirty water has to be purified. This means we should remain in yoga and purify our mind."
