Around the world - Yoga in Slovakia
Simple living and inner peace are found through conscious practices that connect us to our divine essence.
Modern life creates stress by distancing us from natural simplicity. Media consumption replaces true connection with nature and others. A healthy lifestyle requires deep contemplation on nourishment, breath, and movement. What we eat carries vibrational information; vegetarian food supports non-aggression. Conscious breathing connects us to prāṇa, the source of all change. Prayer positively charges the water within our bodies. Concentration techniques, like observing the breath or a candle flame, cultivate inner stillness. By mastering simple techniques, we find calm at the center of life's activity and transform our lives.
"Go and teach people the technique of simple life, simple being."
"In action, one sees the people; and in stillness, one sees the action—truly, that one is wise."

The play of manomaya kosha
Kuṇḍalinī is the one cosmic energy balancing the universe and manifesting within every body. Prāṇa is this life force, governing bodily functions and uniting the five elements. The body contains 72,000 nāḍīs, channels for Prāṇa's flow, and corresponding chakras governed by Kuṇḍalinī. These chakras range from the Earth Chakra at the feet to the Human Chakras along the spine, connected to the elements. The Ājñā Chakra at the skull's base is the seat of consciousness and wisdom, the border to divine chakras. It is clouded by vṛttis, or mental modifications, which must be purified alongside physical and pranic impurities. Prāṇa is cultivated through consumption, speech, and thought; negative thoughts and harsh words generate harmful energy. The company one keeps shapes one's habits and path: satsaṅg leads to upliftment, while kuṣaṅg leads to downfall. The mind processes impressions from the five senses, storing them in the subconscious and generating desires. Control the senses, not the mi

The Mūlādhāra Cakra is the seat of dormant primal energy and the beginning of spiritual awakening.
The red spot symbolizes the third eye of wisdom that burns all impurity. The Mūlādhāra is the foundation, containing all potential like a seed. Its awakening feels like emerging from darkness into the safety of a mother's lap. The journey of this energy to supreme consciousness is long, like a river flowing to the ocean. This chakra is depicted as a lotus, symbolizing beauty and creation while remaining detached from the worldly water. It has four petals representing the four ways life enters this world. An inverted triangle within it symbolizes creative energy; if not awakened, this energy flows downward. A mighty elephant with seven trunks represents prosperity, strength, and the earth's minerals. Within resides the Śiva Liṅgam, the pillar of consciousness, around which a snake representing time is coiled. Spiritual practice awakens this snake to rise, granting vision beyond time. The

A guided meditation on analyzing and releasing thoughts to achieve mental freedom.
Settle into a comfortable posture, relaxing the entire body. Observe the natural breath, feeling the body's energy and motionlessness. Release all thoughts to relieve stress. Now, analyze your thoughts. From many thoughts, select one major thought. Investigate its cause, origin, and importance. Recognize that this analysis itself can create tension. Forgive the thought, forget it, and become free. You possess the power to give it up. All mental modifications are like waves on water; they will calm down. Relax physically and mentally. Do not return to thoughts that cause stress. Bring awareness to the center of the brows and look inwardly toward a beautiful future. The past is past; remain present. Purify your energy with each heartbeat, breath, and thought, moving toward light and clarity. Feel the shelter of the lineage. Conclude by feeling the breath, chanting, and gently returning awareness to the body.
"Analyze your thoughts, and from many thoughts, pick up one major thought."
"All the vṛttis, all the thoughts, just like the waves on the water. It will calm down."

Bhajan evening in Jadan Ashram
The essence is the unstruck sound, the Anāhada, realized through devotion beyond form and thought. This is not an experience of the body or mind. It is beyond all attributes, beyond the forms of Rama or any shadow. It is the formless void that holds the supreme form. Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it. It is understood only through the grace of the true Guru. One must surrender at the divine feet, seeking mercy and blessings for liberation. The devotional offering is the path.
"Neither meditation nor chanting can reach it."
"Please bless me with your blessings, I request you, O Guru."
