We are all one people on a shared spiritual journey. We learn through experience, ashrams, and community. Our path involves understanding God, our connection to nature, and cultivating trust. We welcome all people, respecting them whether they seek deep practice or just yoga exercises. We offer teachings and simple hospitality like water or fruit. Our centers, like Mahimā Jyoti, serve this purpose. Spiritual practice requires discipline, like avoiding meat, but real peace is the essential question. My travels, like to Czechoslovakia, taught about cultural exchange and maintaining principles without imposing them. I was told not to take things, not to speak of God in a certain way, and not to carry stories between lands. I explained I am a yogi without religion or need for money. In our ashrams, we treat everyone equally, offering basic care. The core is that all beings—humans, animals—are equal. Our duty, our dharma, is to create a holy space where all can come to meditate, learn, and find peace, maintaining reverence in that environment.
"All are equal—Christian, all Hindus—and they like it very much."
"If you cannot sit on the floor, you can have it like this, but then learn, learn anything, or concentrate, meditate. This is open for you, all for us."
