Yoga Sudha - May 2025

Abstract

My dear Brothers and Sisters, In today’s restless world, Asuri Sampat - marked by violent emotions, ego, and the uncontrolled speed of the mind - dominates much of human behaviour. This inner turbulence erodes clarity, peace, and purposeful living. To regain emotional mastery, one must consciously slow down the mind’s momentum and awaken the inner light of Daivee Sampat - qualities like humility, patience, selflessness, and inner discipline. The key lies in giving without expecting returns - a subtle but profound act that softens hardened emotions and initiates the process of Chitta Vritti Nirodhah, the yogic stilling of the mental f luctuations. This selfless giving creates space for introspection healing, and transformation. It is here that true strength arises - not from control, but from surrender and alignment with higher values. At Prashanti Kutiram, we are soon launching a series of immersive spiritual programs - Spiritual Retreats, Sadhana Shibirs, and Advanced Sadhana Shibirs - designed to guide seekers from Asuric unrest to Daivic stability. These week-long programs offer a unique opportunity to cultivate divine virtues, balance the emotions, and awaken the spirit. Stay tuned for more details in this issue of Yoga Sudha and in the coming editions. Dr H R Nagendra
