Namaste,
dear friends

Today I want to share an important teaching on the yogic spiritual path: living in Dharma.

Dharma is a Sanskrit word derived from the root “to support,” “to maintain,” and indicates “universal order”; “right action,” “truth.”

Living in Dharma involves actions such as “giving water to a thirsty dog,” “getting up to give a seat to an elder,” “being kind and nonviolent; in thoughts, words, and actions,” but also having the courage to look within and manifest our natural talents.

We are all One and at the same time unique. Each person’s life purpose is different and leads us to the same higher purpose of returning to the Cosmic Home. Just as all the different rivers lead to the same ocean.

When you study Vedic astrology, you observe the planets and constellations in the different houses of work, success, health, family, travel, relationships, and spirituality. You realize how we truly came here to earth to refine our qualities, release our karma, and reveal our Divine creativity so that the world could be a better place for everyone.

The world gets worse especially when we close ourselves off and forget Who We Are; because we came here to create something beautiful and special; therefore, we have a duty to fulfill and realize that destiny.

Dharma protects us, elevates us, makes us prosper and enlighten us; being “dharmic” opens our paths, and we finally discover the true meaning of life in sharing and love.

We cannot allow ourselves to be taken in by the sick world; by becoming sick ourselves… Let’s start healing ourselves: let’s love ourselves and open our hearts and our creativity.

Yogananda tells us: “Don’t let life flow in an ordinary way. Do something no one has ever done. Something that will amaze the world. Show that God’s creative principle is working through you.”

Acting, thinking, and vibrating in Dharma liberates consciousness (Moksha) and allows us to live in harmony with nature within and without.

May we be more aware, conscious, and present in Love every day in our thoughts, words, and actions.

May we remember our True Nature, with gratitude for everything, even dualities, in a continuous and curious discovery, welcoming our shadows with a peaceful gaze and allowing the transformation into who we truly are to come in Its time.

May we manifest the Divine creativity that arises in every heart and express it with freedom: knowing that each one of us is unique and has a gift to offer the world, let us never forget: we are precious pearls.

May yoga be practiced with devotion, concentration, and consistency, giving us strong, healthy, and light bodies and minds; prosperity, peace, and light; but above all, may it be practiced with the purpose of awakening from “maya”—the cosmic illusion—to live in Wisdom and free ourselves from ignorance (avidya).

May this sacred science, like a rare ray, illuminate us both through superconscious meditation and in every moment of our lives.

May Love reveal itself and be reborn within us with every breath, and, like a luminous, golden ball, may it grow, expanding toward everything and everyone: human beings, animals, plants, minerals, and all creation that comes from the same Father and Mother.

May we support each other as a true “sangha”—a spiritual family, Divine brothers and sisters, helping and welcoming each other through thick and thin, understanding our differences;
And as the sage “Patanjali” counsels us, may we rejoice in the happiness of others, protect the less fortunate, cultivate equanimity toward the less virtuous, and experience friendship toward all: uniting in Prema (Divine Love).

These are my sincere wishes for this beginning of a new cycle and beyond… to infinity.

With love, prema

Namaste, dear friends.

I’m sending you this last newsletter of the year to thank you for all your support and trust over all these years together.

I also want to wish you much Light for this final moment of the year and a blessed new beginning for all of you.

Accompanying you on this yoga journey is, for me, the most incredible, wonderful, and honorable purpose in the Universe. I couldn’t be more grateful.

Christmas Meditation

Before we finish 2026, if you want to connect with me once again, on Sunday, December 14th, from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM (GMT), there will be an online Christmas meditation on Zoom. 

The meditation is on donation, and all donations will be sent to Yoga de Rua in Rio de Janeiro (https://yogaderua.org), to abandoned animals (https://www.instagram.com/protetorespdr/), and to an animal sanctuary in Brazil (https://www.instagram.com/ahimsa.santuariovaledarainha/).

Yogananda’s Friendship Poem

Thinking of you with my heart, here is this beautiful and inspiring poem by Master Yogananda, on Divine Friendship.

“Friendship”

What is friendship?

Is it the entwining of the purple cords of two hearts?

Is it the fusion of two minds into one great mind?

Is it the united spring of love, gushing forth to strengthen the impetus of love in arid souls?

Is it the rose blossoming between two similar branches of the same compassionate branch?

Is it a single thought in two different bodies?

Or is friendship perhaps like two strong stallions of different colors and temperaments,

drawing together, with a single vision,

the chariot of life toward the same goal?

Is friendship founded on equality or inequality?

Is it built on the foundations of differences?

Is friendship the unthinking agreement, the hand-in-hand, the blind path of two souls who foolishly rejoice in their shared folly, only to fall into the pit of disillusionment?

Is friendship noble, fruitful, holy,

when two souls walk together in diversity

yet in harmony, in agreement and disagreement,

improving themselves with enthusiasm and variety,

with the shared desire to find comfort in true happiness.

If the lover never seeks comfort for himself

by sacrificing the beloved,

it is precisely in that garden of altruism

that fragrant, perfect friendship blossoms,

because friendship is a hybrid, the fruit of two souls,

it is the fragrance of two different flowers,

mixed and diffused by the enveloping breeze of love.

Friendship is born from the heart

of inexplicable, secret affinities.

Friendship is the fountain of sincere feelings.

Friendship grows in affinity and difference.

Friendship slumbers or dies in familiarity

and festers in lustful, selfish, and limited desires.

Friendship grows tall and strong

in the soil of the unity of body, mind, and soul.

Pretensions, deceptions, the sordid sense of possession,

lack of courtesy, petty selfishness, suspicion

are all cancers that devour the heart of friendship.

Oh, Friendship! Flowering plant, blossoming in paradise!

You are nourished in the soil of unconditional love,

in the common quest for spiritual evolution,

by two souls who pave each other’s way.

And you are bathed in the most anxious care

and the dew of sweetness, internal and external,

by the deep and selfless devotion of the heart.

Oh, friendship! Where your flowers, blooming in the soul,

rest, there, on that sacred and fragrant sanctuary,

the friend of all friends longs to come and stay!

Paramhansa Yogananda, from the book “Whispers from Eternity”

Wishing you a wonderful end to the year with your family and friends, a blessed Christmas, and may the coming year be one of beautiful rebirth, evolution, and great accomplishments, both internally and externally, in Divine friendship. Always count on me; I’m here for you. 

With Infinite Love,
Prema

Namaste to all you wonderful souls

Today more than ever we must constantly remember our destructibility to awaken the awareness that we are indestructible at the same time.

There have always been wars and violence in the world, though perhaps not as evident as we see them today…

Beyond being so obvious, I have the feeling that there is generally a certain trivialization of killing and violence against others and consequently against oneself: on a physical level, but also in more subtle forms… Forgive me, but I feel it is necessary to raise these reflections, so that we can at least shed light on this ignorance and only then heal and move forward in the Divine Wisdom, innate in every heart.

There are certain “forgotten” places and people on the planet… where these situations are almost normalized and “life goes on” for all the other privileged ones…

I think yoga is also about broadening your gaze to everyone and truly opening your heart with compassion towards every creature, at least giving voice to those who have been silenced.

It is essential to act for the Supreme Good with the tools we have and as we can, each in our own way and with our own talents, qualities, and missions…

In my humble opinion, along with this action of justice and compassion in the world, it is extremely important to meditate daily and ever more deeply: because only in this way can we truly live the sacred teachings of yoga in our cells and remember, through direct experience, what Yogananda teaches us:

“Even a particle of matter or a wave of energy is indestructible, as science has demonstrated; even the soul, the spiritual essence of man, is indestructible. Matter is subject to change, and the soul to changing experiences. Radical change is called death, but death, that is, the change of form, neither changes nor destroys the spiritual essence.¨ Yogananda

Here are my most sincere wishes… A good awakening to all of us…

Christmas gift idea: yoga!

I’m taking this opportunity to give you a Christmas gift idea: yoga.
Below is the link with all the gift wrapping options (click the image to learn more):

And below, an invitation to what I have to offer you to improve your physical, mental, emotional, and energetic health, and for everyone to find their highest and truest purpose in life. 

I always remember that Yoga is practiced primarily for spiritual awakening, for a purer, clearer consciousness, immersed in the True Self:

Private Practices

Come practice yoga and meditation privately online with me…

The practice of yoga originally arises through a direct transmission from master to disciple. Since each individual is unique, with a particular history and varied perceptions, each of us can receive yogic psychophysical techniques more focused on our own nature. Each individual is going through a very singular moment; therefore, even though group yoga practice is fully comprehensive, working on all aspects (physical/mental/emotional/spiritual) in a 360-degree manner, individual practice brings an additional, specific potency for what we need in that period.

If you are interested in scheduling an individual class online (or in presence in Tenerife south) and receiving this experience, please contact me privately on WhatsApp at +34 658213100, and we can arrange it!

I always await you with Joy and Love: online, in Tenerife, and sometimes in Italy or Brazil…
Namaste, Jay Guru Jay,

Here is a poem by Master Yogananda to inspire us all:

¨I have burned away my past, destroying every seed of evil destiny.

With boldness I have traversed the scattered ashes of my past and future fears.

I am the Eternal NOW, for I have torn the cocoon of ignorance
that enveloped me with the sharp blade of free will.

Now I am Your butterfly of eternity, soaring in the air and flying freely here and there in the vast skies of time.

I will spread the beauty of my wings throughout Nature, to delight all living beings.

My wings are sprinkled with suns and stardust. Behold my beauty!
May every silken thread that has entwined my past folly be severed forever.

Behold! Now those threads form a trail behind me and add to my beauty, as I fly toward my own Self, in You.¨

P. Yogananda, Whispers from Eternity, Ananda Edizioni

Satchittananda is one of the Sanskrit words that simply and clearly describes what is experienced in deep meditation beyond the mind, revealing our True Identity.

Sat means Truth or presence; Chitta means Consciousness; and Ananda stands for Bliss or Ever-New Joy, as Yogananda translated it.

“Meditate and you will always carry a portable paradise with you” – Yogananda

This being “always conscious, ever-present in an ever-new Joy” transcends duality; it is a state that does not depend on any positive or negative situation or event; it is free from opposites and the different high or low mental waves we may have. When we feel sadness, happiness, pain, or pleasure, we can still simultaneously experience and observe these sensations while also remembering the Calm Divine Ocean within.

In the state of Satchittananda, you perceive that where the darkness appears greatest, it is only because the light has also grown, and thus we can expand our consciousness into the Light with a capital “L,” beyond opposites…

The observer or Self that we are in our deepest and truest heart lives and experiences this world and therefore should not ignore it: we are here in these bodies to do our part, our role, without being alienated… At the same time, we should not expect anything from these actions.

In the Bhagavad Gita, chapter 2, verse 47, it is explained: 

karmany evadhikaras te

ma phalesu kadacana

ma karma-phala-hetur bhur

ma te sango ‘stv akarmani

And its translation is:

“You should perform your prescribed duties, but don´t expect the fruits of your actions.

Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never try to escape your duty.”

In Satchittananda, “karma yoga,” as explained in the above verse from the Bhagavad Gita, comes spontaneously: right action is performed for the Supreme Good of all, with love, devotion, and surrender to the Divine, without expecting anything in return. This is because we realize the cosmic dream that is this life and become at least a little less involved, more at peace and free.

The yogi (he or she who practices yoga) focuses primarily on his or her own mission, which is where he or she contributes to making the internal and external world a little more beautiful and bright. He or she remembers that even in silence one can do so much… immensely… And, therefore, along with an action outside in the earthly world, he or she never forgets his or her duty to daily connect with the memory of Satchittananda.

Would you like to practice yoga, learn to meditate, and embark on this spiritual journey with me?

Then I have some invitations for you…

In October, I’ll be in Milan , always with the intention of endlessly continuing to spread and share these sacred teachings. From October 17th to the 21st I will be teaching a beautiful workshop and some other classes. Check it here: https://www.premakriyayoga.com/it/workshops-2/ or contact me on whatsapp +34 658213100.

I await you with immense love in Milan and always online, wherever you are…
Lots of Light, Jyoti, and Divine Love, Prema

¨What a dream this life is! Yet, when you look at your body now and see how it pulsates with life, you are convinced once again of the reality of this dream. You think you have to have this or that and then you can be happy. But no matter how many of your desires are fulfilled, you will never find happiness through them. The more you have, the more you want. Learn to live simply.¨

Paramahansa Yogananda (Man’s Eternal Quest, page 136)

There are two types of environment:
Internal and External. The external environment consists of the physical environment (noisy, quiet, and so on). Our internal environment is our state of mind.

No matter how disharmonious your environment may be, if you meditate, or at least sit in silence for a few minutes every day, and live in harmony with your inner Self, you will always live in paradise and carry your portable paradise with you everywhere.

It is man’s internal environment that is of primary importance.

Existing without peace of mind in this world is like dwelling in a kind of Hades. But the man with divine perceptions finds the earth a blissful abode.

️Paramahansa Yogananda ️
️Inner Peace

Dharma – What does it mean? How can we discover what we were truly here on earth to do… What is our purpose? What is our mission in this world? Is it possible to creatively express our natural talents and live in this state of grace and freedom?

Namaste dear friends

I begin with the words of Master Yogananda, taken from Autobiography of a Yogi, ananda editions.
These are profoundly current words, of immense inspiration and encouragement for all of us:

“While mankind and its works may disappear without a trace because of time or bombs, the sun does not change its course in the least and the stars continue their invariable vigil.

Cosmic law cannot be suspended or unaltered and the human being would do well to put himself in harmony with it. If the cosmos is against the exercise of force, if the sun does not go to war with the planets but withdraws in due time to let the stars exercise their small supremacy, what is the use of our armed fist? Can peace ever come from it? Not cruelty, but good will, nourishes universal vigor; a humanity at peace will know the inexhaustible fruits of victory, sweeter to the taste than any another fruit grown on bloodstained soil.

The True League of Nations will be a spontaneous and anonymous league of human hearts. The broad understandings and deep discernment needed to heal earthly afflictions cannot come from a mere intellectual consideration of human diversity, but from the recognition of the one trait that unites men, namely, their affinity with God. In view of the realization of the highest ideal of humanity, peace through brotherhood, may yoga, as the science of personal contact with the Divine, spread in time among all men in all lands.”

Despite the upside down world we live in, I hope you are well, healthy, with a clear mind and in Peace.

I am increasingly convinced and feel with greater intensity the importance of a spiritual path for every human being. Whatever this path is… The yoga and integral Kriya Yoga that I follow is one of many; and if you are interested in taking this path; I am here for you.

Going deep inside ourselves is not a simple “to escape from the world”, but it is to not get sick by it…

I perceive that withdrawing ourselves into the superconsciousness every day is an act of courage and is highly altruistic. If the world outside is a reflection of what we have inside, then there is a great need to look at ourselves, don’t you think? If we do not recognize our internal wars and violence, even against ourselves, how can we help for a more loving and peaceful vibration and world? This harmony must be born from within us. Spiritual practices such as yoga make us immerse ourselves in this inner Light.

Prayer and introspection for some may seem like “ignoring” others, the world, or one’s duties in the world… But, in reality, it is the opposite: both actions – internal and external – do not contradict each other… Meditation makes us realize the uniqueness in everyone and gives us even more strength, energy, vitality and will to do what is necessary when it is necessary and to remain in our Dharma and mission, daily.

Feeling Peace within us is, minimally, a beginning for a higher, wiser, more welcoming and united collective consciousness.

immense Love, Prema

A poem by Yogananda that inspires, moves and reminds us that if we want, we can be guided Home by a deeply enlightened Soul who is this beloved Guru

God’s Boatman

“I want to ply my boat, many times,
Across the gulf-after-death,
And return to earth’s shores
From my home in heaven.
I want to load my boat
With those waiting, thirsty ones
Who are left behind,
And carry them by the opal pool
Of iridescent joy
Where my Father distributes
His all-desire-quenching liquid peace.

Oh, I will come again and again!
Crossing a million crags of suffering,
With bleeding feet, I will come —
If need be, a trillion times —
So long as I know
One stray brother is left behind.

I want Thee, O God,
That I may give Thee to all.
I want salvation, That I may give it to all.
Free me, then, O God,
From the bondage of the body,
That I may show others
How they can free themselves.

I want Thine everlasting bliss
Only that I may share it with others;
That I may show all my brothers
The way to happiness Forever and forever, in Thee.”
