Practising Asanas from Vep
A yoga practice moves from stillness to dynamic movement, integrating precise alignment with collective rhythm. Begin in Śavāsana, lengthening the neck and stabilizing the lower back. Simple movements prepare the body, emphasizing synchronized group action over individual stretch. The practice progresses through leg lifts, spinal rolls, and postures like Śaśāṅkāsana, which calms fear and aids digestion. Dynamic sequences in Vajrāsana and variations like Uttānapṛṣṭhāsana strengthen the trunk and spine. A forearm Marjari variation mobilizes the thoracic spine. The session concludes with guided relaxation, allowing any comfortable position before rehydration. Synchrony and mindful breath are central throughout.
"Śaśāṅkāsana reduces the fear in our heart, the stress and fear."
"This will strengthen our whole trunk muscles. It will make the spine straight."

Gurudev found all of us
The four yogas and four kṛpās, and the Guru’s grace, show the path to liberation.
The four yogas—Bhakti, Jñāna, Raja, Karma—unite as rivers to the same ocean. Disciples live all four through devotion, study, meditation, and selfless service. Karma Yoga, done without expectation, yields sweet results. Five forces—desire, anger, pride, greed, ego—drag down spiritual progress. A moment of anger can erase a hundred malas of practice. Human birth is a precious opportunity gained after countless lives. The Guru finds and unites disciples from all corners of the world. There are four graces: blessings of the gods, scriptures, Guru, and the self. Guru kṛpā is most praised, but self-effort is essential to walk the path. Āśram means “come, do work”; service burns ego. Destiny can only be altered by the Guru, as shown in the story of the king’s twins. The Guru used loopholes in fate’s words to change the princes’ lives from poverty to prosperity. All holy places and deities reside in the dust of the Guru’s lotus feet. Even Gaṅgā, Yamunā, and Sarasvatī purify themselves through that dust. Without a Guru, there is no crossing the ocean of illusion. Surrendering all baggage at the Guru’s feet brings lightness and freedom.
“When it’s done without any expectations, then the fruit is always sweet.”
“All in one, one in all.”

The name of the God you can't get everywhere
The human aim is peace, harmony, and self-realization; without spiritual path, one is as an animal.
Continual satsang and divine gathering are a blessing. The parampara gives a priceless jewel—God’s name—not bought in any market. Guidance and protection flow from the tradition. Spiritual knowledge increases through deep practice, like pearls found in ocean depths. Human birth is for self-realization. A great devotee’s verse states: those without knowledge, austerity, wealth, wisdom, character, quality, or dharma are a burden on the earth. Two educations exist: worldly knowledge for survival, and higher spiritual knowledge as divine blessing. Mercy is the root of dharma; pride the root of sin. As long as life remains, mercy must not be abandoned. The boat of truth—the Satguru—carries across the ocean of worldly existence. The divine name is wealth that cannot be stolen and only grows when consumed. Wake up, remember the duty, and fulfill dharma. God is always present, but one must live as a devotee, embracing a divine life. Always pray for the health and well-being of the guru. Repeat the mantra for that health whenever possible.
“Yeṣāṁ na vidyā na tapo na dhanam na jñānam na śīlam na guṇo na dharmaḥ, te mṛtyu-loke bhūmi-bhāra-bhūtāḥ.”
“Pāyajī, maine Rāma ratana dhana pāyā, jagata meṁ lāge saba phīkā. Khāyā na khūṭe, cora na lūṭe, dina dina baḍata savāyā.”
