Founder of Power Yoga

Purification, strength, steadiness, calmness, lightness, realization, and abstraction are the seven means of perfecting the body.

Like an unbaked pot in water, the body is always decaying. One should bake it with the fire of Yoga and make it pure.

Just as from studying the alphabet one may understand the scriptural teachings, so by practicing Yoga one may obtain knowledge of the Ultimate Reality.

There is no fetter like illusion, no force greater than Yoga, no friend greater than knowledge, and no enemy greater than ego.

The inner knowledge becomes effulgent on its own once the mind becomes quiescent.

Moola bandha helps guide the energy upward to higher centers, promoting spiritual evolution.

The mind should be focused solely on internal objects, oblivious to external distractions.

Desiring worldly rewards from yoga leads one astray from spiritual enlightenment.

Absorption in nada pacifies the restless mind, dissolving awareness of the external world.

It is better not to concern yourself with mental activities; just do your practices.
