The Path of Oṃ, Yoga, and Inner Purification
The path of yoga and the sound of Oṃ leads to liberation. Learning Oṃ is easy, but many do not fully intone it. Understanding yoga begins with Aum. Chanting Oṃ from the navel to the crown chakra makes meditation peaceful. Prāṇāyāma serves physical health and yogic consciousness. Modern practice often focuses only on postures, but yoga has no competition; challenge arises from ego. True practice is for all, not only ascetics. Laziness is not yoga. The body contains 72,000 nāḍīs, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā being primary. These channels influence health and mind. The Viśuddhi Cakra purifies poison, like anger, which harms the body. Unresolved anger causes suffering in relationships and health. Small grievances create major pain; clear them immediately. Inner purification through the chakras cleanses negativity. Practice requires discipline, not using meditation as an escape. The face reveals one's inner state; nothing can be hidden. Various yogas lead to supreme consciousness. Meditation means focusing only on the mantra to find inner peace.
"According to yogic sādhanā, if we can understand what yoga is, then the first path is definitely Aum."
"In yoga, there is no competition and no challenge. We do not give the challenge. If you want to give the challenge, then it means you have lost, because now you are the ego."

Let's Try To Save Our Planet
A global alarm sounds for the earth's condition, caused by human action. Major conferences address water crises from pollution and misuse, and food systems causing disease through chemicals. Education must include universal spirituality and ethics. Economic systems reliant on fossil fuels face protest. Vast gatherings of officials and citizens highlight urgent collective concern. The destruction of rainforests for paper and lumber devastates ecosystems. A simple life using natural materials and rejecting disposables is the true path. Individual initiative has value when united for the planet's welfare.

Satsang from London
Śiva is universal consciousness, liberation, truth, and beauty, the self-manifested source of all. Yoga, the Vedas, and all wisdom originate from Śiva, who can destroy negativity with the third eye. The Śiva liṅga represents the endless universe, which is space. Within that space is consciousness. The energy that unites space and consciousness is Śakti, the primal power behind all perception and action. Śakti is not gender but the divine energy balancing creation. Two forces exist: the divine spiritual energy and the destructive demonic energy. Śiva oversees creation and dissolution, intervening only when necessary. True devotion is the heart's surrender, leading to liberation.
"Śiva means mokṣa. Śiva means liberation. Śiva means the consciousness."
"Without that Śakti, our body cannot exist."

The Poet's Reach
A poet's reach extends beyond the sun's light. Where sunlight ends, true poetry begins, born from selfless devotion, not ambition. Ambition is ego; it ensures failure. Even a slight doubt rejects a disciple from grace, returning one to endless cycles. Therefore, proceed gently, mastering the inner heat of ego. True service seeks nothing but to serve in every life. Writing from intellect alone is forgettable; writing from divine love creates scripture. There are two writers: troublemakers who divide and peacemakers who unite. One must be a peacemaker. A yogi's consciousness can traverse solar systems, but this requires perfection in work, devotion, knowledge, and meditation. Idle meditation, without engaged action, breeds restless thoughts and failure. One must first clean the mind and surroundings through karma yoga. Modern suffering arises from separating ethics and spirituality from daily life, business, and politics. True creation stems from selfless vision and devotion, like the architect who builds for beauty, not just utility. The mind is a restless monkey, controlled only by ending attachment and "my-ness." Meditation is essential, but it must be built upon a foundation of purified action and thought.
"Where this sunlight will no longer be visible. Beyond that, a poet can go."
"Unless you give freedom to your deep, burning desire, for whatever it is, you cannot calm down your mind."

Yagya
The sacred union of marriage is a spiritual dharma that creates a single entity for the journey toward heaven. Husband and wife reunite through their astral bodies after death, regardless of who departs first. This union is essential for performing a proper yajña, requiring a sympathetic couple. Dharma, or cosmic justice, is administered by Dharmarāja and Yamarāja, with Śiva as their master. A married couple is like a bird with two wings; divorce breaks these wings and the spiritual path. The promise made during marriage is sacred, given upon a holy book to the divine principle itself, not merely to a priest. Breaking this promise invokes the justice of Dharmarāja and the consequences of Yama. For those who mutually choose a celibate spiritual path while honoring their bond, the way to heaven remains open. The ceremonial fire of yajña, using pure substances like guggul, aligns the couple on the dharmic path. Similarly, the guru-disciple relationship through dīkṣā is a sacred bond not to be abandoned. One must remain faithful to one's spiritual master as to one's mother.
"Husband and wife, having already walked their path in this life, will reunite through their astral bodies in another part of the universe."
"A bird cannot fly without wings. When you have married once... It means broken wings, broken legs, a broken heart. That is not your path."
