A new year begins with a saṅkalpa for peace and positive energy. Today is Makarasaṅkrānti, the solar new year. The sun moves north, a direction for meditation and prayer. Śiva is the original seed of manifestation, the Śiva Tattva from which all life emerges. The moon balances the earth, an ornament on Śiva's head, representing cyclical consciousness. We must cultivate positive energy, the Devī Śakti of pure consciousness, to overcome negative thoughts and actions. Negative energy first attacks one's own inner instrument—the mind, intellect, and ego—before affecting others. Ancient ṛṣis provided the antibiotic for this negativity: sacred mantras from the Vedas. These mantras, embodied by Śiva, cleanse illness and negative vibrations. Practice yoga daily according to your capacity, using mantra and posture to transform energy. Our collective saṅkalpa is to send positive energy to all world leaders, fostering mercy and protection for all beings, transcending religion and nation. We resolve for a year without war or suffering, creating universal harmony. "With the positive, we can win the negative. The positive is the Devī Śakti." "One ill fish will spoil the whole pond. So one ill thought first makes the illness within oneself."

The grandeur of bhajans and divine remembrance fills the gathering. The session was intentionally brief, yet it overflowed with spiritual potency. A request was made to Puṣpā, and one bhajan was offered with the possibility of another if it pleased the divine. The sisters sang with exceptional devotion and skill; their voices became vessels for the sacred and their singing pleased greatly. Such bhajans are not ordinary songs; they are pathways to divine remembrance. An introduction to the deeper significance of these bhajans will be given. This teaching will manifest tomorrow or the day after, illuminating the essence of devotional singing for all seekers. Life presents dualities like heat and cold, comfort and discomfort. Both sides of experience are embraced without resistance, and blessings are extended to all with the words ‘all the best’. The bhajans were very nice, and today is alright. The closing chant invoked holy names—Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Devpurījī, Mādhavānandajī—with reverence. Satya Sanātana Dharma was proclaimed as the eternal truth. The core teaching of non-doership arose: Nāhaṃ Kartā, the self is not the doer. Prabhudīp Kartā, Mahāprabhudīp Kartā, the divine alone acts. Only That Kevalam exists. Hari Om. Victory to Viśvarānandajī Gurudeva. "Today’s session was brief; I did not intend to do only a little, but the magnificent bhajans from our sisters were truly great." "Hari Om, Dīp Nārāyaṇa Bhagavān, Devpurījī Mahārāja Devakī, Mādhavānandajī Bhagavānakī, Satya Sanātana Dharmakī, Nāhaṃ Kartā Prabhudīp Kartā Mahāprabhudīp Kartā He Kevalam, Hari Om."

The refuge lies at the divine feet. By taking refuge there, one experiences supreme truth and bliss, becoming free from the cycle of birth and death. The mind finds its steady path. The Vedas and Puranas sing of this refuge. True devotion and knowledge lead to liberation. The divine name itself brings supreme happiness. The true Guru is incomparable. "Charaṇamme Arasattati Ratahe, Vohela Purāṇamme Gāte." "Mannava Dhire Dhire Chalga, Gaṅgā Charanare Bai." Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

The senses are powerful and create the entire world of entanglement. The ten senses within the body are difficult for any yogi to fully master. The world is ensnared by their play, particularly by the lower senses like taste and procreation. All beings, from Brahma to animals, are bound by these senses. Their force is the great delusion that must be conquered. "The senses are a powerful force of delusion; what has this entangled world become?" "All beings of the world are under the control of these senses. What has this world become, so entangled?" Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India
