Practice with Swamiji
Gentle yoga movements strengthen the back to prevent and alleviate pain. Begin with complete relaxation, releasing tension from toes to head. Focus on natural breath. Proceed with gentle spinal twists and stretches while lying down, moving knees side to side. These movements release stiffness without force. Strengthen the parallel back muscles by raising the upper body while prone. Practice concentration by sitting on the toes and focusing on a single point. Consistency is key; practice these gentle postures daily to build a foundation for more advanced practice. This harmonizes body and mind.
"Relax your whole body from the toes to the top of the head and from the top of the head to the toes."
"When they are strong, then we don’t have pain, back pain problems."

What is the most precious thing in life?
The most precious thing in life is good health, which yoga provides as a gift from Svayaṁbhū Śiva. This primordial consciousness, unborn and without parents, manifested all creation from the single thought, "I am one, and I will multiply." This manifestation is Sanātana Dharma—the eternal principle of oneness in all existence, not a religion. Humans have lost this spirituality, creating separate religions instead. True religion is to realize your relation to God, leading to Self-Realization where the individual soul and God are one. Life's quality depends on aligning with the positive, divine power (Devī Śakti) of love and non-violence, not the negative (Āsurī Śakti) of harm. In the current Kali Yuga, suffering prevails as humans become selfish, governed by material desire like gold. The only solution is to renounce attachment and thereby enjoy true freedom and enter the kingdom of God.
"Realize your relation to God is the religion."
"Renounce and enjoy."

Rules and regulations are important
Sādhana rests upon four essential principles: conduct, thought, diet, and recreation.
Discipline in behavior is paramount, encompassing punctuality and consideration. Thought must be guarded, as exchanging distracting thoughts creates disturbances within the mind and intellect, leading to afflictions and obstacles. Therefore, many masters impose strict silence during practice. Such rigorous retreats, even for corporate leaders, serve as treatments for stress and psychic turmoil by forcing confrontation with internal heat and agitation, which are then calmed by the Master's guidance. Personal transformation through consistent practice affects one's entire environment, bringing peace to relationships. The essence is to speak only what is necessary, avoiding idle talk. Adherence to these principles of conduct, thought, moderate eating, and mindful activity forms the foundation of successful spiritual practice.
"Exchanging your thoughts will disturb you, definitely. Because such thoughts in sādhana create vikṣepa."
"Speak what is necessary. That’s very important for sādhana."
Confidence
Faith and single-pointed focus are essential on the spiritual path. Without trust, all practices are futile, like abandoning your own car for another. Disciples must hold to their given mantra with confidence; otherwise, they will be cheated and remain restless. Many are distracted by other masters offering miracles or false promises, revealing a lack of self-faith. Everything needed is within; one must develop in the spiritual womb. Do not seek temporary comforts or jump between paths. Concentrate on one practice to gain everything; chasing many leads leads to loss. The ten senses must be understood and controlled through yoga. Stay faithful to your one path, practice humbly, and do not be concerned with external signs like astrology. Do good and help others.
"Ek sajye sab sajye, try one, you will get all. And when you try to get for all, you will get all."
"Do good, get good; do bad, get bad. That is it."
