Around the world - Yoga Class of Level 3, Zagreb, CRO
A journey of withdrawal and placement requires returning weapons to their correct positions and gathering one's essence into its proper place. Put down the arms and behold what is before you. The practice involves pulling the head back and withdrawing from confusion. Research places everything, and withdrawal returns each thing to its place. The essence is found in our place. Confuse the weapons with the weapons and create a different energy. Prepare the next question and gather possibility into the place. Focus on the placement and arrive at stability. Mix the weapons and feel the service within them. The meditation speaks of needs and focuses on drawing together.
"We place the next spot in the next place."
"Withdrawal, the place to its place, the place to its place."

The play of manomaya kosha
Kuṇḍalinī is the one cosmic energy balancing the universe and manifesting within every body. Prāṇa is this life force, governing bodily functions and uniting the five elements. The body contains 72,000 nāḍīs, channels for Prāṇa's flow, and corresponding chakras governed by Kuṇḍalinī. These chakras range from the Earth Chakra at the feet to the Human Chakras along the spine, connected to the elements. The Ājñā Chakra at the skull's base is the seat of consciousness and wisdom, the border to divine chakras. It is clouded by vṛttis, or mental modifications, which must be purified alongside physical and pranic impurities. Prāṇa is cultivated through consumption, speech, and thought; negative thoughts and harsh words generate harmful energy. The company one keeps shapes one's habits and path: satsaṅg leads to upliftment, while kuṣaṅg leads to downfall. The mind processes impressions from the five senses, storing them in the subconscious and generating desires. Control the senses, not the mi
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."

Tree planting in Auckland
A community gathers to plant a tree for peace following a national tragedy. This beach was a replacement for one lost to development decades prior. The planting is a symbol of peace and unity, directly responding to a recent shooting in Christchurch. Representatives from many nations express honor at participating. They emphasize that the tree represents a global wish for peace, harmony, and the fulfillment of prayers. The act is a practical step toward protecting humanity and the environment. The tree is blessed as a living being essential for life and a focal point for meditation. It is dedicated to the victims of the violence, with prayers that such events never recur. The ceremony concludes with collective prayers and blessings for peace.
"This tree is for the peace of the whole world."
"We are humans and we are all one."

Mansik Puja, Vienna
The subject is Mānasik Pūjā, or mental worship of one's chosen deity. Many practitioners ask how to meditate effectively. Meditating on external symbols like nature can eventually feel empty. The superior practice is internal, devotional service performed within the mind. This mental ceremony nourishes the practitioner with strength and clarity. It transforms perception, allowing one to see the living presence in a sacred image, not mere stone. This feeling is essential; without it, ritual is empty. Service performed with love and imagination is an expression of inner beauty. When you act from the heart in meditation, you explore your devotion. Love contains no demands; it is self-understood. This practice is a personal secret between you and your deity. By serving mentally, you receive peace and your love reflects outward, affecting your entire day. God's light is in every heart; realizing this is true self-realization.
"Therefore, the best solution is Mānasik Pūjā. When you perform Mānasik Pūjā, the mental ceremony, you emerge from your meditation full of strength, energy, love, and clarity."
"In every heart, in every heart, God’s light is reflecting. That is called self-realization. Self means yourself. Realization is that you realize: your self, and everyone is your self."
