A simple practice that actually rebalances our whole system?

There’s a chemistry to the body and many glandular processes at work, and one of the easiest, most powerful ways to bring them into harmony is simply to sit properly. Find a posture where your body doesn’t need muscular effort to stay upright , a balanced, rooted seat that “just sits” on its own. Practice sitting like this for a few hours a day and you’ll notice the shift: more ease, clearer energy, and a quiet rebalancing from the inside out. 𝙎𝙖𝙙𝙝𝙜𝙪𝙧𝙪: Mental health is a sensitive thing… When it comes to physical health, unless you have some kind of infection that comes from outside, the rest of the ailments are all coming from within us. What is coming from within you, is it your responsibility?

If your body is creating an ailment from within, is it your responsibility to fix it?

Is it not true that any number of people who lie in bed like a potato till noon time are suffering from many ailments? They thought others are idiots who get up at 5 o' clock in the morning and run, swim, play, or do something else. They thought they were really enjoying life, just eating and sleeping. But after some time, it takes a toll on the system. Then they think it is someone’s fortune to have good health, while they have ill health. No! Health is created from within. If an invasion happens from outside in the form of an infection, that is a different matter. When it comes to mental health, it is far more sensitive to say this, but still ,if what happens to your body is your responsibility, is what happens to your mind not your responsibility? There may be many contributing factors. Even physical ill health may be caused due to many factors. The same may be true with mental health too. But we need to separate sadness from psychological illnesses. You cannot go to your doctor and fix your sadness; he may also be sad.

If you are medically ill, they can fix you to some extent with medication, which is a continuous manipulation of chemistry. But the most sophisticated chemical factory is right here . Suppose your chemistry was in your hands, would you cause anxiety or ecstasy? Definitely, your choice would be ecstasy, the highest level of pleasantness. The problem is just this , your chemistry is out of control, for whatever reason. There may be genetic patterns, there may be pathological reasons, there may be outside stimuli, many things. But still, is it not your fundamental responsibility to take charge of your physical and mental health? The moment you think it is not yours, stalemate , it is completely out of your hands. If you see that it is your responsibility, everything may not be fixed tomorrow morning, but you can start moving towards wellbeing.

happening in the body. The simplest thing is you just learn to sit properly. Sit in such a way that the body does not need your muscular support, that it is so well balanced that if it sits, it simply sits.

Just do this for a few hours a day, and you will see – you will feel much better. There are other more complex processes that you can do to come out of this problem. But at least try this much – geometrically, keep yourself in such a way that there is no stress in the system.

Initially, it looks like there is an effort, but once you sit like this, you see that without effort, without stressing any particular part, the body just stays there. Geometry is most important. This is true of anything physical in the universe – how efficiently something functions depends on how well-structured it is, geometrically. Let’s say an engine, for example. If you call something a really good engine, it means it is geometrically well-aligned; there is no friction. If you call a building well-designed, it means it is well-structured, geometrically.

It is similar with this body and with the entire cosmos. Right now, the planets are going around the Sun. Are they handled with steel cables or something? It is just the geometry. If the solar system goes off its geometric alignment, it is finished. Only because of perfection of geometry, it is working. Similarly with your body: On one level, the whole system of yoga is about getting your physical geometry aligned with the cosmic geometry, so that being here becomes absolutely effortless.

Whether you name it stress, anxiety, or whatever else – essentially, there is friction in the system. So it is important that first, the system is geometrically well-aligned, and next, it must be properly lubricated. There are ways to do this. Where there is geometrical perfection, there is no effort; there is no friction. That is what you have to bring into your system. Do not allow these small things to take over your life. One little anxiety bothering you all the time can limit and destroy the process of your life. This must be fixed as early as possible.

When children learn in their mother tongue, they don’t just study , they inherit a living culture.”

On 12 May 2026, the Supreme Court directed the Rajasthan government to formulate a policy introducing the Rajasthani language as both a medium of instruction and a compulsory subject in all schools.

This decision is more than a legal directive ,it is a cultural awakening. By bringing Rajasthani into schools, Rajasthan is not just teaching a language, it is safeguarding the soul of its people for generations to come.

Step into the foothills of the Velliangiri Mountains, where silence vibrates, ponds shimmer, bulls stand tall, and every breath feels like life unfolding in harmony.” As you enter the Isha Yoga Centre, at the foothills of the Velliangiri Mountains in Coimbatore India, it is felt like stepping into another dimension. The air itself seemed charged, I occasionally keep visiting this place a consecrated space where silence carried a unique vibration, and every breath felt deeper, more alive.

Walking through the vast grounds, you can notice Dhyanalinga, a powerful meditation space radiating stillness. For me sitting there, I felt as though time had dissolved ,only awareness remained. Nearby, the Linga Bhairavi temple with a fiery feminine energy, contrasting yet complementing the calm of Dhyanalinga.

As you, wandered further, life unfolded in countless forms. Beautiful ponds shimmered under the sunlight, their waters alive with colorful fishes enjoying playfully. The Goshala housed majestic bulls, such bulls I never saw anywhere else, and gentle cows of course, their presence grounding and earthy. Birds filled the trees with song, squirrels darted across branches, and the rustle of leaves carried noice of nature’s rhythm. Truly, it felt as if the entire ashram was breathing , life happening all around, in harmony.

The Spanda Hall and Isha Rejuvenation Centre offered spaces for learning and healing, while the Isha Home School echoed with the laughter and curiosity of children. Even the Isha Gnaneshwar library is a beautiful place for seekers to dive into wisdom.

Every corner revealed something new ,a quiet meditation spot, a cluster of volunteers moving with devotion, or the fragrance of neem, haldi, and tulsi carried by the breeze. The ashram isn't just a place; it is living organism, pulsating with energy, inviting to dissolve into its rhythm. My visit was an immersion into a space where the sacred and the everyday blended seamlessly , where ponds, bulls, birds, temples, and seekers all became part of one life.

“21 weeks, 1,750 hours, one consecrated space, are we ready to reshape our body, mind, and life?”

Sadguru says, ring finger is Gateway to Cosmic Energy

“This finger is not just flesh and bone, it is a key to the universe.”

He further explain that the ring finger is central to the fundamental human energy system, acting almost like a “mouse” or control panel to the cosmos. His teachings highlight two vital aspects:

1. Energy Stabilization: Wearing metal on the ring finger stabilizes the human system and unlocks deeper dimensions of the body. This is why traditional cultures place wedding rings on this finger.

2. Against Misuse: He warns against casual use of the ring finger in meditations without guidance, as it can lead to energy dissipation or attract forces one cannot handle.

In Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, the Sadguru Yogasthala (by Isha Foundation) offers a peaceful spiritual space for visitors. Free of charge, it teaches simple yet powerful yogic practices such as Shiva Swasa Sadhana to help calm the mind and open the heart before entering the main temple. If you plan to visit Kashi, spending a few minutes here can deepen your experience and make the darshan more receptive and serene.

One day, without warning, life will quietly end, amid unfinished goals, unread messages, and plans you thought you had more time for. The world will move forward, just as it always has. So why do we spend so much of our existence delaying joy, suppressing dreams, and living as though time is guaranteed? Perhaps the greatest wisdom is not in fearing death, but in letting its certainty remind us to truly live.

Movie shooting at Isha Yoga Centre! Actor Pradeep Ranganath's film LIK (Love Insurance Kompany) features scenes filmed amid the serene, eco-friendly landscapes of Isha Foundation. In the story, set in a tech-dominated 2040, Isha is reimagined as the idyllic "Organic World" a perfect contrast to the film's theme of relationships in a managed society.

Sadguru reminds us that gratitude unspoken in life becomes hollow praise after death.

Praising someone only after death is often a social habit, Sadguru emphasises that inner transformation, gratitude and expressing appreciation while people live are more meaningful than mere posthumous flattery.

Life doesn’t pause; it flows with time, whether you act or not. SadguruJVG emphasizes that time is not just money, but life itself, ticking away regardless of what you do. Because it is a limited resource that cannot be managed, he advises managing your energy, activity, and intelligence to make every moment meaningful, urging people to act before life runs out,

Ekadashi is the 11th day of the lunar cycle. On this day, our body naturally does not demand food. Fasting on this day helps cleanse the system and turn our awareness inward. After having your dinner tonight, you can fast until the next dinner. If you are unable to do a full fast, having a light, fruit diet on this day is also beneficial.

In Buddhism, the concept that nothing is permanent is known as Anicca (in Pal language) or Anitya which translates to impermanence. It is one of the three marks of existence, asserting that all conditioned things, including physical bodies, thoughts, and emotions, are in a constant state of changing. fundamental belief that everything is transient, evanescent, and inconstant. Life is compared to a flowing river where things arise, exist, and disappear,

When Sadguru speaks of enlightenment while being a living guru, he emphasizes that it is not a distant, abstract concept but something to be experienced in the presence of a realized being. He often says that the presence of a live guru is like sitting near a fire , you don’t need to understand fire scientifically, you simply feel its warmth.

Sadguru: As a guru, when I am conducting a spiritual program, I am in a particular mode. If I embrace everyone before me with tears of joy and inclusiveness, it will not breed any karmic consequences. But if I do the same thing only with one person whom I know well, that same embrace will create consequences. This is because the inclusive embrace has no karmic substance to it. It is absolutely conscious action.

This is why, at a program, I never focus on the faces I know well. If I choose to meet another's gaze, I always pick a totally unknown face to address. As soon as you focus on someone you know and talk to them, it can turn into an entangling process. It would breed consequences for them, for me, and for the entire situation.

However, if I am developing a project, I do, of course, talk to intimate groups of people. I know this will not breed any entangling consequences for them, because what we are evolving is not about them or me, but about a larger vision. This is not entanglement, because it is an all-inclusive involvement. There is nothing selective about it.
