The Yogic Anatomy and Practice
The subject is Kuṇḍalinī and Chakras. Humans possess a highly developed consciousness capable of realizing the divine energy within. The self is experienced in the heart, yet is present throughout the entire body. The human system is composed of five sheaths: the physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and blissful bodies. The 72,000 nerve channels converge at points called chakras, which are centers of energy and consciousness. Desires and mental power are strong forces that can bind or liberate. Various yoga paths exist to purify these layers and direct energy upward from the base chakras, associated with primal instincts, toward the higher centers of perception and unity. The ultimate aim is to transcend all sheaths and realize the oneness of the individual soul with the universal consciousness, which is present everywhere.

Unity, love, forgiveness, and devotion
Unity is essential, especially in difficult times when the intellect tends toward destruction. When all power unites positively, it can transform the age. Humans possess a unique mind for processing information, yet awareness is often missing. True awareness must be present in all actions, from eating to meditation. Service and spiritual practice are incomplete without devotion and feeling. The mind is restless, not the soul. Do not be stuck in the future or past, but be present now. Unity is the thread, like devotion, that holds all together. A single branch breaks, but united we stand strong. Modern life fragments families, eroding love and shared space. To love others, one must first love and accept oneself without blame. The world is one family; all beings contain the divine. Protect righteousness, and it will protect you. Forgiveness is for one's own peace, releasing the inner grudge that consumes. Perform your duty without attachment to the outcome.
"When all the power comes together, they have the power to change Kali Yuga to Satya Yuga."
"Forgive them. It’s not for them, it’s for us. Because when we forgive them, it gives us that sense of peace."

Practising Asanas
Yoga practice aims for inner peace and strength.
Practice brings awareness inside, into inner space. Āsanas and yoga calm the mind.
Every movement is done with full awareness.
Stand in the position, separate the feet, and relax the whole body.
Observe feelings in the body, mind, and emotions.
Mauna means not just outer silence.
Antar Mauna—inner silence—stops the inner dialogue and quarreling.
Stretch the body with interlocked fingers on the head, inhaling up on the toes.
Breathing is most important.
Place a palm on the navel and relax the abdomen.
With inhalation, the abdomen expands; with exhalation, it contracts.
The number of breaths at birth is predetermined, in a symbolic way.
Short, quick, clavicular breathing leads to stress, depression, and little energy.
Complete yoga breathing connects abdomen, middle, and clavicular parts.
Body posture reflects inner thoughts and feelings.
Inner strength is built through practice, not poor posture.
"Antar Mauna is more important: to stop this little inner dialogue, and all the time quarreling."
"We often hear that when we are born, we have a predetermined number of breaths and exhales. That is in a symbolic way, of course."

Protect is in protect
A global crisis prompts reflection on humanity's unique spiritual and physical condition. Why does a pandemic target humans specifically, across all nations and beliefs? All creatures possess the same fundamental layers of existence, yet humans alone wield the power of action beyond mere survival. This century's afflictions stem from human karma. The widespread turn to meat consumption after the world wars, increased alcohol use, and the industrial production of food have introduced disease. Consuming such nourishment stores illness within, which may emerge later in life. Even vegetables now contain chemicals. The suffering we see originates from human actions, creating a poisoned environment. This is the age of Kali Yuga, where negative forces are prominent. True religion is self-control, and real yoga extends far beyond physical postures. We must first ensure our own spiritual protection to safeguard others. A great conjunction of planets is occurring, a rare celestial event. The coming Satya Yuga is governed by a divine timescale vastly different from our own. Ultimately, all paths return to the yogic essence within.
"Slowly, attacks come. It is like a beautiful, big tree: one or two bugs enter, then slowly worms multiply and eat the entire trunk from within."
"Practice yoga and daily life, and sleep very peacefully. Look inside; see what will be good. You will be protected."

Iccha Shakti
The Power of Will and Divine Grace
Whatever you wish, by God’s grace, nothing is impossible. But before expressing a wish, know its nature. God fulfills all desires, good or bad. Therefore, cultivate discrimination first. Without discrimination, desire leads to suffering. A monkey wished for honey, but got a cobra and died. The wish was fulfilled, but without knowledge, it brought death. Humans often desire harmful things. Use intellect to analyze wishes before pursuing them. Spiritual wishes are certainly fulfilled by grace. Pārvatī asked Śiva for a simple teaching. Śiva replied: “I tell my own experience: devotion to God is the ultimate truth.” In Kali Yuga, repeating God’s name is the support to cross the ocean of ignorance. Willpower is a great power, but must be guided by wisdom. Energy is one, manifesting in many forms; use it wisely. With clear will and divine grace, all good is attainable.
