Great Saints set an example
Dharma is the universal principle of rightness, distinct from modern religious constructs. Many great beings, including Jesus and ancient ṛṣis, have suffered for truth. Common yoga is a science for well-being, akin to a parent calming a child. A higher meditation exists for those spiritually educated with tolerance. Satsaṅg inspires and calms through knowledge and devotion, while kusaṅg includes sound pollution and addiction. Study the lives of all saints to understand their consciousness and sacrifice. Dharma must be upheld once promised, as seen in historical examples of unwavering commitment. Every being has a protective dharma, like a mother to her child. The Supreme watches all karma. Read wisely, filtering inspiration without becoming argumentative or changing views with every new author. The essence of all scripture is the law of cause and effect upon one's own self. Practice looking within to read the chapter of your own life.
"If you give pleasure to others, you will receive pleasure. If you give trouble to others, you will receive trouble."
"Read the chapter of your own life. How many chapters have you begun? How many remain empty or incomplete?"

Gurupurnima Blessing
The Guru is the light dispelling darkness, the movement from ignorance to knowledge. In this world, one cannot survive without a Guru, which is any source of knowledge, including learning to cook. Today, many cannot cook at home. Educated women, who have the capacity to bring peace, sometimes develop arrogance, refusing to cook due to ego, leading to reliance on restaurants. The food from a mother, who nourishes a child from the womb, is divine prasad. One must learn to cook at home themselves. Cooking is a master, and you must become that master and teach your children. Do not put children in nursery school and do not get food from restaurants. Cook yourself; it will be cheap and good.
"‘Gu’ is darkness, and ‘Ru’ is the light. It is that light which dispels darkness."
"The mother who gives nutrition to the baby from inside the womb... that mother’s food is divine food, it is prasād."

Awakening of muladhar
Chakras are energy centers where consciousness resides, defining character and problems. Your destiny (prārabdha) is created by past karma before your body forms. You control your present karma through action, speech, thought, and influence, but once acted upon, deeds become destiny governing future life and all current problems. The Mūlādhāra Chakra is the root foundation of consciousness based on that karma. It is the earth element, colored red for energy and Mother Consciousness. Its awakening brings safety, wisdom, and pleasurable energy, not physical sensations. The chakra's symbols include a four-petaled lotus representing the four ways life enters the world, an elephant symbolizing wisdom and prosperity, an inverted triangle for energy flow, and a coiled snake representing past, present, and future karmas—the dormant Kuṇḍalinī Śakti. Śiva (consciousness) and Śakti (nature) seek union here. Exercises like Bhujaṅgāsana and Śalabhāsana activate this chakra, strengthening the back and influencing the root center for physical and mental balance.
"As long as you are not doing anything, it is still under your control."
"The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī means wisdom. You become very wise, you become self-confident."
