Sādhanā is a universal path requiring sincere practice, not mere labels. It is not only for sannyāsīs, as many become lazy, claiming greatness from their robes alone. True sannyāsīs serve the Guru and others. Householders, like farmers who work while repeating mantras, are also great sādhus, sustaining life through selfless giving. Modern life, with its chemicals and weak foods, has strayed from a natural, healthy existence rooted in the earth. Our practice is not just āsana; it involves living rightly, not taking too much from Mother Earth, and calming the inner waves of disturbance. All energies and chakras lie within. Practice depends on your own effort, not status. Satsaṅg provides the power to proceed. The goal is to become calm and unified.
"All sādhanās we are doing are only the path. But Guru Seva means the final step on the path."
"If you are a sannyāsī, then work hard, walk with your feet, give something."

The moon and spirituality
13:55 - 14:33
|
From: 1 Jun 2008
The moon's phases guide spiritual practice toward completeness. Monday honors Śiva and the moon. The new moon, Amāvasyā, brings luck and symbolizes growth. A mantra declares all is complete, as creation comes from completeness. The full moon, Pūrṇimā, radiates special energy influencing consciousness, oceans, wildlife, and human emotions, causing restlessness or calm. Observing new and full moon days through fasting, prayer, and meditation harmonizes one's energy and health. These days are for spiritual focus, avoiding aggressive acts and tree-cutting. The moon's cycle connects to the body's subtle energies through Svara Yoga, aligning breath with cosmic rhythms. Mantras recited morning and night invoke divine protection and steer dreams toward the divine.
"Oṁ Pūrṇamadaḥ Pūrṇamidaṁ Pūrṇāt Pūrṇamudacyate. Pūrṇasya Pūrṇamādāya Pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate."
"Oh my Lord, every day, every night, please appear in my dreams."

The Path of Oṃ, Yoga, and Inner Purification
14:40 - 15:39
|
From: 19 Jan 2020
The path of yoga and the sound of Oṃ leads to liberation. Learning Oṃ is easy, but many do not fully intone it. Understanding yoga begins with Aum. Chanting Oṃ from the navel to the crown chakra makes meditation peaceful. Prāṇāyāma serves physical health and yogic consciousness. Modern practice often focuses only on postures, but yoga has no competition; challenge arises from ego. True practice is for all, not only ascetics. Laziness is not yoga. The body contains 72,000 nāḍīs, with Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā being primary. These channels influence health and mind. The Viśuddhi Cakra purifies poison, like anger, which harms the body. Unresolved anger causes suffering in relationships and health. Small grievances create major pain; clear them immediately. Inner purification through the chakras cleanses negativity. Practice requires discipline, not using meditation as an escape. The face reveals one's inner state; nothing can be hidden. Various yogas lead to supreme consciousness. Meditation means focusing only on the mantra to find inner peace.
"According to yogic sādhanā, if we can understand what yoga is, then the first path is definitely Aum."
"In yoga, there is no competition and no challenge. We do not give the challenge. If you want to give the challenge, then it means you have lost, because now you are the ego."
