The Path of True Yoga

True yoga leads to a perfect, healthy life and cosmic consciousness.

Many places and teachers offer yoga; go where you like, but practice real yoga. Danger lies in expecting miracles. Do not wait to fly or see supernatural feats; the real miracle is being healthy and happy. People await the awakening of Kuṇḍalinī, the serpent power. Yes, it awakens, bringing wisdom, humility, alertness, and balance. However, pursuing it for miracles causes imbalance and psychic illness. Therefore, do not run after miracles. Lead a happy, normal, and healthy life.

"Do not expect that you can fly. You can jump like a frog, but that is not flying."

"What a great miracle you already possess: that you are healthy and happy."

Filming location: Ljubljana, Slovenia

Yoga will make our life perfect and healthy, and ultimately lead us to the realization of cosmic consciousness. In Slovenia, you have many yoga teachers, many yoga clubs, and many places where yoga is practiced. Some practice Yoga in Daily Life, and some practice other kinds of yoga. Go where you like to go, but practice real yoga. Danger lies where people are expecting miracles. Practice without such expectations. Often people ask me if I can fly, and the answer is yes—with Adriatic Airlines or any other airline. So, do not expect that you can fly. You can jump like a frog, but that is not flying. Many people harbor these expectations of miracles, and you will not see such things anywhere. Do not wait for them. What a great miracle you already possess: that you are healthy and happy. What more could you want? People wait for the awakening of Kuṇḍalinī, the serpent power in the body, which enlightens the entire being. Yes, it does awaken. The awakening of Kuṇḍalinī means one becomes wise, humble, very alert, conscious, and balanced. However, if one pursues this for miracles, then one will become crazy. This imbalance will make a person psychically ill. Therefore, please do not run after miracles. Lead a happy, normal, and healthy life.
