The index finger represents our self. Our aim is to become one." "Research in many European hospitals shows they practice this... When we adopt this mudrā, peace comes automatically."

He explains concepts like destiny (karma), the two types of seekers (Lakṣārthī and Vācaratī), and the importance of sincere devotion over selfish desire.

A guided yoga practice focusing on chakra awareness through specific postures and breath. "Try to understand that the chakra and its location are like a reflection zone... It is the same with some āsanas; they influence and activate a point in our body connected to a cakra." "If we are concentrated on one point, we will remain without movement. When our mind starts to go here and there, we lose concentration." An instructor leads a session of āsanas (postures) and mudrās (seals) designed to bring awareness and sensation to the energy centers (chakras) from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra. The practice includes Maṇḍūkāsana for the root chakra, rolling movements for Maṇipūra and Viśuddhi, Ākarandanurāsana for Ājñā chakra focus, and Ekapāda Praṇāmāsana for concentration and Anāhata.

Morning Session from Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. Jaya means victory or glory. It is the victory of the divine over the negative or devil energy. Two kinds of energies are ruling our being. This are the good or bad energies. A sin is the result of creating pain to others. This means doing bad to anyone in physical, mental, intellectual, political, ethical,economical or emotional way. The positive should dominate in our life. Searching where we can help and serve, a universal thinking and surrendering will help us to realize God within and then we will be happy.
