Become a gyan murti
The personal mantra is the essential thread of spiritual practice.
Mantra is the thread that holds all spiritual pearls together; without it, they scatter. It is the breath and soul of practice, a torchlight in darkness. Spiritual awakening begins with an inner thirst, leading one to practice. Initial confusion gives way to relaxation and growing interest in deeper practices. However, comparing teachings or oneself to idealized figures creates conflict and loss of confidence. Ancient stories and knowledge provide timeless evidence and motivation; they are ever-young. Jñāna Yoga is the yoga of wisdom and self-knowledge, but without realization, one remains in imagination. Its four principles are viveka (discrimination), vairāgya (dispassion), the sixfold treasure (śama, dama, etc.), and mumukṣutva (the desire for liberation). Viveka discerns reality from unreality. Vairāgya renders all worldly enjoyments tasteless. Realizing the inner treasures brings true richness. The sincere aspirant seeks freedom from worldly troubles. This practice leads the soul to liberation.
"Mantra is like a thread in this mālā. It is that thread which keeps all the pearls together."
"Brahmanandam param sukhadam kevalam jñānamūrtim. The supreme bliss is a form of knowledge only."

The value of Satsang
The great mantra Hari Om reveals the unity of sound, form, and the divine. The syllable Om contains the three tattvas of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva. Viṣṇu resides upon the thousand-headed Śeṣanāga, who supports the earth. From primordial emptiness arose the resonance of Om, from which the deities manifested. Human pride in science ignores how extraction destabilizes the earth, which rests precariously. Spiritual practice is essential, yet ego and vice can persist even after millennia of austerity, as shown in a parable. The story of the ṛṣis Viśvāmitra and Vasiṣṭha demonstrates that a single minute of true satsaṅg holds more power than 72,000 years of solitary sādhanā. All philosophies distill to the law of karma: actions return as their own fruit. Therefore, purify consciousness through diligent practice and righteous living, avoiding harm to all beings.
"Are you blind? You don’t see the judgment? For one minute of satsaṅg, the whole earth raised up, and when it was 72,000 sādhanās, that was not moving."
"If you give pleasant to all... you will get the sukha. If you are giving troubles to others, you will also get a trouble."

Awakening of real kundalini
Kuṇḍalinī Śakti is the universal energy present in every atom of the cosmos, inseparable from universal consciousness. This divine energy animates all existence, from stars to every creature. Within each being, it manifests as the vital force flowing through 72,000 channels, with major energy centers called cakras. A genuine awakening brings profound harmony, happiness, and balance to body and mind. Misguided techniques produce only physical symptoms, not true awakening. This energy can guide one toward higher awareness or toward negative states like anger, depending on the environment and one's discipline. Faithful practice, mantra, and positive company purify and direct this energy. The goal is a balanced union of cosmic energy and cosmic consciousness within.
"Śiva and Śakti are not understood in terms of physical form, nor in the sense of male-female attraction, but as pure consciousness and pure energy."
"The awakening of the Kuṇḍalinī is like a beautiful, pleasant, harmonious, s
Morning Yoga practice, Umag, Croatia (1/9)
A guided practice integrating meditation, yoga, and prāṇāyāma to cultivate awareness and inner harmony.
Begin by relaxing the body and mind, aligning the posture. Follow the breath, using the mantra "So Ham" to synchronize with the inhalation and exhalation. Feel prāṇa entering and tensions releasing. Center awareness in the heart space, feeling it expand and relax, allowing peace and love to spread. After meditation, proceed to physical practice. Perform warm-up exercises and āsanas like Daṇḍāsana, focusing on straight posture and coordinated breathing. Practice sequences for the arms, shoulders, and feet with conscious movement. Advance to postures such as Marjari Āsana and Meruākaraṇāsana, maintaining balance and breathing deeply. Conclude with Kathā Praṇām and prāṇāyāma, specifically Nāḍī Śodhana, to purify the energy channels. Always maintain a straight back, relax the abdomen, and coordinate movement with breath. Finish by chanting Oṁ and grounding the awareness.
"Feel how with every inhale you are taking in prāṇa, how your consciousness is becoming brighter and brighter, happier and more relaxed."
"Keep your back straight and go down only to the level which your muscles can hold with your back straight."
