Vegetarian cooking lesson 5
Falahārī nutrition uses food in its perfect, natural state. This way of eating brings vitality and health. The diet emphasizes raw fruits, vegetables, and herbs, though simple preparations are shared. Personal adaptation is key; one should feel free without strict rules. The focus is on fresh, whole ingredients and their inherent goodness. Meals are crafted with mindfulness and simplicity. The nourishment is deeply satisfying.
"Everything grown in nature is already perfect."

The Path of Conscious Living and Mercy
The soul's purification through yoga and mercy is essential in this age. We gather in a place with strong spiritual vibration, welcoming many from around the world. This practice is global and neutral, unrelated to religion, focusing solely on liberating the soul. We are covered by ignorance and karma, often acting without knowing the consequences, which causes suffering for the body, family, and environment. The inner soul suffers greatly. The science of yoga in daily life is for developing spirituality, gaining clarity, and purifying karma to seek forgiveness for unconscious acts. A key difference exists between religion and spirituality; spiritual purity cleanses negative karma. We possess intellect and discernment, but must follow our inner wisdom over ignorance or ego. Central to this is karuṇā, or mercy, which must extend to all living beings. Every creature values its life and feels fear. The demand for meat creates a chain of harm, with major karmic responsibility falling on the consumer. This action, often done unconsciously, creates a cover over the soul, hindering liberation. Purification comes through sincere practice, prayer, and mantras, leading to higher consciousness.
"O God, you are known as equal-visioned. You do not count our sin."
"Therefore, the science of yoga in daily life was developed, and millions of people practice around the world."

The evolution of the Universe
Yoga is the ancient science of body, mind, and soul, originating from the very beginning of endless cosmic cycles. It stems from the interplay between universal consciousness and space. The creator, Śiva, manifested from the primordial sound, or resonance, which holds the universe together. This resonance is in every cell, creating harmony. Yoga is not merely physical exercise but the pursuit of health, balance, and oneness. The human body is a microcosm of five elements and contains energy centers, or chakras, along subtle nerves. Our awareness and practices like prāṇāyāma, postures, and chanting purify these energies, address ailments from stored emotions, and align us with the cosmic dance of creation and dissolution, leading toward liberation.
"Yoga is not just that physical exercise. We call it yoga because it must bring good health, balance, harmony, and oneness of body, mind, and soul."
"From the end of the spinal column is the seat of Śiva and Gaṇeśa. Gaṇeśa is in the Mūlādhāra Cakra. Mūla means roots."

Bhakti
Steady practice and satsang are essential for spiritual progress. Neglecting regular practice, even for a day, leads to significant loss. Initial enthusiasm often fades, replaced by distractions like television, which halt spiritual development. Do not blame God or the teacher for a lack of progress; grace functions alongside personal effort and devotion. Practice must be continuous, with awareness on each breath and the divine name. Spiritual love must grow daily, like a plant or a child in the womb. Satsang is a purifying bundle of energy; avoiding it leads one astray into negative company. Practice without devotion and satsang remains mechanical. Continuity is step-by-step, building the path. This discipline brings holistic development to millions globally. Conferences honor the teacher and promote a culture of peace, which is the true foundation for harmony.
"On my each and every breath, I repeat and remember Thy name."
"The lucky one, the fortunate one, will go to the satsaṅg."

What is God?
The divine is perceived as both formless and with form. The formless God, Nirākāra, is like the horizon or sky—everywhere yet unreachable. The personal God, Sākāra, has a form we can relate to, speak with, and worship. Scripture states both are valid, but for humanity, worship with form is easier as it allows for relationship and dialogue. Our human nature encompasses both aspects. We are advised to use our divine potential through proper practice, as our latent powers can lead us toward divinity or negativity. How we speak and act directly impacts our spiritual and physical well-being, as our energy flows through subtle centers. We must choose a path that awakens our higher consciousness.
"both are good, Nirākāra and Sākāra, the formless and with form. But he said, for you... it is easier to worship in form."
"you have a chance of being a human... you are divine, you are godly, but all is dormant."
