The essence of spiritual life is consistent practice within a supportive community. Our tradition's bhajans contain the complete path. True progress requires personal effort, not merely listening. Association shapes habit: spiritual company fosters spirituality, while negative influences divert you. Many attend lectures but avoid practice, which is like discussing food without eating. Practice purifies karma and sustains spiritual health, just as discipline manages physical health. Without practice, initial spiritual love fades. Maintain your personal system—physical, mental, and spiritual. Life flows like a river, governed by karma and natural principles. Ultimately, success depends on following the Guru's instruction and grace. Your practice brings your benefit; neglect brings none.
"Jaisā kare saṅg, vaisā lāge raṅg. With whom you associate, you will take on that habit or color."
"If you eat, your stomach will be filled. So I say to you personally: please do practice, not only in class but at home too."

The ultimate achievement depends solely on the Guru's grace. All spiritual practices are secondary to this divine grace. Even divine incarnations honored their gurus. The devotee must approach the divine with the helplessness of a crying infant to receive nourishment. Intellect alone is insufficient; it is like an empty drum. Surrender completely to one master. The path is so narrow that the seeker and the guide must become one. Liberation is found only through this singular devotion.
"Liberation's root is the Guru's grace."
"If you do not pray to God with the heart, even God will not fulfill and feed you with that knowledge."

Introduction of the Strilky Ashram

This sacred grove is a place of satsaṅg, established through great effort, where one must enter with clean hands and feet and without shoes. It is a beautiful, peaceful forest for prayer. Our ashram is a holy place where many have lived peacefully, having given up things like meat and alcohol. Devotees from around the world come, though some stay only briefly. This path led to the rediscovery of the ancient principle of Alak Purījī, connected to Śiva. After the era of Śiva and Shakti, Pārvatī arose, though she was initially unaware.
"This is our satsaṅg, our samāj. This is what we are for everyone."
"Anytime, if you desire something... you should come to this place and pray with our mantra. Everything will return to peace and harmony."

The gathering welcomes distinguished guests and emphasizes the shared pursuit of knowledge through yoga, which transcends physical practice to harmonize the mortal body and immortal soul.
We honor our lineage and welcome all present, including a renowned scholar of the Vedas. Human intellect is superior but requires teaching. Despite societal influences, few understand all humanity. We must concentrate on the Jīvātmā. Yoga is the supreme science for humans, extending beyond postures and breath. This work has spread globally over decades, with seeds now sprouting. The path requires selfless surrender. A seed must bury itself and forget its own life to become a tree that bears fruit for society. Our dialogue aims to elevate life through understanding karma and our true nature.
"Yoga is the science for humans, not merely āsanas and prāṇāyāma, but something beyond."
"Every seed has only one dream: that I should become a big tree. I should bear a lot of fruit for society."
