Yoga brings you back to Thyself
Yoga is a science of body, mind, and soul, not merely a physical exercise. Its essence is spirituality; without it, humanity suffers, like a body without life. Yoga purifies physical and mental impurities, known as vikāras, which include disease, jealousy, anger, and greed. Practice removes these obstacles, leading to clear consciousness and unity. All spiritual paths ultimately lead to one divine source, beyond fanaticism. Integrating spirituality with daily practice through asana, pranayama, and meditation is essential for true self-realization and peace.
"Yoga without spirituality is like a body without a soul."
"Yoga is that science and that quality which will save humanity."

Protect Nature and be truthful
The union of mind, body, and spirit is universal love.
All 8.4 million creatures—in water, on earth, in space—are the light of one God. Every creature has parents and children who love them. Ants feel the same pain we feel. A mother’s pain is the same, whether animal or human. The tree is a mother, giving oxygen, fruits, shelter to millions. Rain falls on everything without difference, like God. God gave you hands, legs, eyes, health—you are not poor. Yoga needs discipline now, not tomorrow. Give up killing animals. Yoga brings physical, mental, social, spiritual health. Practice āsanas and prāṇāyāma for a healthy life. Do not judge others. Support someone and your mistakes purify. If you cause pain, that karma returns. Love all creatures, not just your family. Human life has one milestone to heaven; miss it and fall back.
"God said, 'Careful, the first stone will that one throw who is not a sinner.'"
"Love your next one, means all creatures, all creatures."

The principle of non-violence
A recent global illness was a lesson for humanity alone. This disease did not affect birds, insects, or animals. Humans slaughter creatures, destroy forests, and pollute waters. Many were asked if pure vegetarian practitioners were affected; they were not. The pandemic forced families to reunite and understand each other. Ancient texts speak of great cyclical transformations. The essence of Sanātana Dharma is respect for all nature and living in harmony. True progress requires a single spiritual guide within a lineage, avoiding division.
"Humans come very close, slaughtering the animals."
"In that Sanātana Dharma, their discipline or their way of living, and so they are family—husband and wife and children, mother, father and children, neighbors."

How could we live a happy life
The Gāyatrī Mantra is a Vedic practice for peace and balanced memory, not a sect. Research on the Vedas explores mantras and their effects. Chanting at sunrise connects one to solar energy. Traditional practices, like girls praying to sacred trees for harmonious marriage, stem from unity, not superficial beauty. Marriage was a familial and societal alignment. Life is sustained by prāṇa, the vital energy in all beings, which constitutes the prāṇamaya kośa. This energy is life itself; its departure is death. All creatures possess this prāṇa and chakras. One should not kill while prāṇa remains. Consciousness persists after the body, necessitating prayers for ancestors. These are not fairy tales but realities of the subtle body.
"If you chant the Gāyatrī Mantra for five minutes, it will give you immense peace and your memory will be balanced."
"Prāṇa means life, and Prāṇa is God. So that energy we call God."
Janama Bhumi, Karma Bhumi and Dharma Bhumi
Yoga is the universal balancing principle, the single root and trunk from which all branches grow. You are the living self, a mobile tree. The human brain is the root, leading and balancing the entire body, just as a small engine pulls a long train. Yoga is not merely physical exercise; it is the discipline that brings harmony to the entire globe, connecting the life of vegetation and the life of humans. We exist in three spheres: the janmabhūmi, the birth land to which we must be loyal; the karmabhūmi, the place where we perform selfless action, or niṣkāma karma, which perfects yoga; and the dharmabhūmi, the place of righteous duty and ultimate shelter, which is beyond the dogma of religion. True dharma is universal duty, not division. Yoga is this unifying force for all existence, from building a harmonious home to seeing the world as one family. It is the fire that burns away all karma.
"Yoga is the balancing principle of our entire globe."
"Your yoga practice will be successful if you do karma yoga, because it is the yoga."
