The sacred soil is a land of spiritual austerity where every child embodies the divine. This land is sandalwood, and every village is a field of penance. In the beginning, there was only infinite, motionless space containing cosmic consciousness. This consciousness is always awake and pervades the entire universe, just as awareness fills the entire body. From the singular consciousness arose the desire to become many, initiating a primal vibration, or sound, throughout the cosmos. Creation unfolded from this vibration through the five elements, with consciousness resting within the cosmic mother who provides preservation and balance. This balance is yoga, the harmonizing principle essential for the universe and our own health. We are all one, connected to the single Brahman, just as one moon reflects in many cups. All creatures are our brothers and sisters, and non-violence is the highest principle.
"Where there is harmony in everything, then there is unity. That unity is called yoga."
"Eko brahma dvitīya nāsti. One is the Brahman who has realized the oneness with all."
