Morning Yoga practice from the international Yoga retreat Umag, Croatia, on the 27 of September

A discourse on the importance of spiritual lineage and tradition. "Without a paramparā, without a lineage, you have no clear path. It is easy for practitioners to follow that path which is called Sanātana. Sanātana is a highway." "In Kali Yuga, many people are manmukhī, and therefore they have no roots. After a while, this plant will dry up, and with a little wind, it will be blown away." A spiritual teacher delivers an evening satsang, emphasizing the critical role of a genuine guru lineage (paramparā). He contrasts the established "highway" of Sanātana Dharma with the rootless "footpaths" of self-guided practice, warning against becoming a "manmukhī" (self-willed) instead of a "gurumukhī" (guided by a master). Using analogies of citizenship, family roots, and a story about a king and a saint's stick, he stresses loyalty to one's guru and introduces the origins of the Alakpurījī Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā in the Himalayas.
