The year is 2025 (Gregorian) corresponding to Wednesday (Budhavara) Magha Krishna Paksha Amavasya tithi, Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra, Siddhi Yoga and Bava/Balava Karana; Samvat 2081, Shaka Samvat 1946 (Prabhav), Chandramasa Magha Krishna Amavasya, governed by Mercury’s influence favoring silence and purification rituals at Triveni Sangam for moksha and karmic renewal.

Having performed yajnas and taken the ritualistic baths during the auspiciousness of Maha Kumbh, just like the previous time (2013), I realize many big things are going to start manifesting soon.

This could have been called a prophecy, but having gone through the same event previously and seen the results from that time, this is no longer a prophecy but a cosmic conclusion based on personal experience.

What exactly will happen, however, is unknown…

The one who is ready to go deeper into the civilisational aspects of the land and people who introduced yoga to the world, this specific book is an extremely important title. It is also recommended for those of other faiths, or even agnostic readers, who seek a concise yet trustworthy gateway into Hindu thought without committing to years of text study.

It offers a clear overview of the main Sanskrit scriptures—from the Vedas and Upanishads to the epics and Puranas—so a reader sees the whole landscape rather than isolated texts. The author’s approach is introductory yet systematic, making it suitable for serious seekers who want depth without getting lost in technical commentaries.

By walking through the philosophical schools, bhakti traditions, and dharmic concepts, the book situates yoga inside the wider Hindu worldview instead of treating it as just a physical discipline. This helps a practitioner understand how ideas like dharma, karma, moksha and the Upanishadic quest for the Self underlie classical yoga texts such as the Yoga Sutra and the Gita.

Happy to inform that the renovation work for the cave of Narad rishi (the manas putra of Bhagwan Brahma) within our ashram in Gangotri, Upper Himalayas has been completed and will be open for paying respect and meditating from the upcoming Calendar year.

It is believed that Narad rishi sat in dhyan here for a period of 10,000 years. keeping that in mind, nobody is allowed to enter the exact space of the cave. The cave is only viewable from the door, one may touch the ground and pay respect, however we have built a meditation room right next to it so that one may still enjoy and absorb the vibrations.

Looking forward to seeing seekers come and enjoy the Narad rishi cave, the siddhi cave, Amrit ghat, ram temple and the open yoga shala along the banks of the holy river mother goddess Ganga. Our entire ashram community invites you to come and be a part of our ever expanding community based on dharma.

Sharing a few books one may want to read during their pursuit of higher knowledge. The Ancient wisdom can not be separated even if you enjoy a modern practice.

These books constantly remind that every asana and every breath in yoga is rooted in the vision of the Vedas and the Upanishads: knowing the Self and uniting with Brahman, the higher consciousness within. On the mat we work with the body, but the true journey of yoga begins in the pages of texts like the Upanishads and the Vedas.

They teach and remind us constantly that yoga is more than posture—it is a path of meditation, mantra, self-inquiry and inner discipline leading from the restless mind to the stilling so that we may experience the luminous Self.

These particular volumes of Swami Nikhilananda’s Upanishads and Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati’s “The Vedas,” act as a reminder daily that every practice—asana, pranayama, or quiet sitting—is part of an ancient quest for liberation and wholeness.

Just as I have set reminders in my life, taking a leaf from my own experiences I would also like to remind you that our daily practice should not only be about flexibility and strength, but by this deeper intention: to live from that inner wisdom the yogis and the rishis spoke of, and to see the same light of consciousness in every being.

The Indus Valley “Proto‑Shiv” seal acts as a reminder that yoga is not a modern wellness trend but a timeless spiritual technology reaching back over thousands of years.

The figurine of Bhagwan Shiv can be seen here sitting in a deep meditative posture, embodying stillness, discipline and a conscious union with nature that is just as relevant to our practice on the mat today.

Archaeologists interpret this seal as an early form of Shiv, Ishwar of Yoga, seated in a demanding asana (interpretations may call it Swastik Asan or padm Asan) that reflects intense focus and mastery of the body. It suggests that meditation, breath, and inner stillness were already central to spiritual life in the Indus Valley long before classical yoga texts were composed.

When we sit for meditation or enter any asana, we automatically become a part of the lineage and become a part of a legacy whose aim is to continue a stream of yogic exploration that has flowed unbroken across millennia.

This image is a reminder to all of so that we treat every practice as sacred archaeology of our own consciousness—digging beneath habit and distraction to rediscover the ancient yogi within.

Among the many Gitas present in the world, the Gita given by Bhagwan Shri Krishan ji stands out as a manual for humans on life management.

Also known as the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, this specific Gita has one underlying emphasis throughout the discourse: “how to become a yogi.”

Bhagwan Shri Krishan ji doesn’t ask Arjun to become a good warrior or a good Brahmin; he doesn’t prescribe the path of a grihastha or a sannyasi; he doesn’t ask Arjun to be a good husband or a good father. Instead, Bhagwan Shri Krishan ji tells Arjun to become a yogi, and then he will excel at everything.

The true value of this life cannot be measured by what you did, but by how you did it. Walking the path of yoga is therefore significant, as it determines the ultimate outcome in every aspect of your life.

Today, on the day of Gita Jayanti, we honor the absolute gift and treasure of humanity that is the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, which serves as a reminder to all who aspire to become yogis and walk the path of dharma.

Graham Hancock highlights the presence of a seal from Mohenjo-Daro known as the Pashupati seal, which he identifies as depicting an early form of the Bhagwan Shiv ji sitting in a very advanced yoga posture (mul bandh Asan), indicating that yoga and Shiva worship may date back at least 5,000 years atleast.

Hancock also challenges the mainstream A***n invasion theory, calling it a largely discredited notion, emphasizing that Indian culture is extremely ancient and that the idea of an A***n invasion should be abandoned since the culture shows continuity and local development without clear evidence of conquest or replacement.

Gorakshnath Asana (often called Gorakshasana or Siddhasana variation) is named after Maha Yogi Gorakhnath, a founding figure of the Nath tradition.

It is described in key texts like Shiv Samhita and Gherand Samhita. In many lineages, anyone who can sit, breathe, and meditate steadily in this posture is regarded as an advanced—or “Higher”—or “Maha” yogi.
