The responsibility of the Yoga in daily life teacher

A ceremonial address bestowing instructor certification and spiritual responsibility.

"With this piece of paper, the light of Mahāprabhujī and the yoga life is handed over to you."

"People will trust you, placing their confidence and attention into your hands. Therefore, do not disappoint their confidence."

The speaker confers diplomas for Yoga in Daily Life, charging new instructors with the duty to faithfully teach and guide others. Emphasizing kindness and operating within one's capacity, the address frames this role as a sacred trust, using the analogy of a reliable airplane pilot to illustrate constant care for students. The event concludes with dedicating a bhajan, "Mera Satgurū Diyo Isāro," to the new graduates.

With this piece of paper, the light of Mahāprabhujī and the yoga life is handed over to you. May you bring this wisdom and light from door to door and soul to soul. I trust that you will remain faithful to Yoga in Daily Life and teach it as the beautiful path it is. You now have a great responsibility. This responsibility means you are an instructor of Yoga in Daily Life; people will trust you, placing their confidence and attention into your hands. Therefore, do not disappoint their confidence. Be helpful, be kind, be good, and do not go beyond your capacity. May all who come to you find contentment, peace, happiness, and the light of wisdom. Work under the shelter of Śrī Mahāprabhujī, and you will be successful. Once more, all the best, and blessings to you. For Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān and kīrtan, your mantra should be "He gave them before," and this should be at the end of your program. Yoga in Daily Life is taught around the world in thousands of locations. You have the free will and freedom to teach in as many places as you can or wish, while remaining under the framework and name of the Yoga in Daily Life International Fellowship. Maintain the quality. I also wish you all the best. Now, we will sing a beautiful bhajan for those who received the diploma: "Mera Satgurū Diyo Isāro." This is a beautiful bhajan from Mahāprabhujī for the diploma. "Isāro" means he gave me the hint; he gave me the guidelines. It signifies that your yoga practice, your yoga life, now begins. You have come to yoga practice, and now you must practice. All who come to you will have confidence. Imagine a large airplane where many people board with the confidence that they have a very good pilot. You do not need a pilot who, after two or three hours of flying, lets the plane fly on its own, goes to sit somewhere to drink and talk. Even though you do not see the face of your pilot, he takes care of you. In the same way, it is our duty to take care of all our yoga brothers, sisters, practitioners, and aspirants who come to us. We have a responsibility for all our rights, for our brothers and sisters, and for everyone who comes to us. --- Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Welcome seminar
