Dharma Shakti Keeping Yoga Spiritual : inspiration and education to help you stay motivated and dedicated to becoming your most authentic self!!!

01/05/2026

In such an over saturated market of yoga teachers - and such a watered down and commoditized yoga industry - here is something important I think we should be talking about !!!

Both for students and teachers!

Point number 3 is super super super important !

Yes, you must love people - and I’m not just talking about the ones you like or who compliment you….

In general, you must have a genuine and true love for people and humanity, and that love drives you to want to be a part of their journey of growth, healing and happiness - it motivates you to continue to show up and lead as a lighthouse - someone who shines the light on the the path ….

PSA for the yoga community, share it and let’s get the good word out !!! You’re welcome ! 🙏

Yoga isn’t just something you practice on the mat… but something that shapes the way you think, speak, and express your truth and gives rise to true speech.

Today’s Monday Message comes from the opening invocation to the Yoga Sūtras, a powerful reminder that yoga is not only about the body — it’s about refining the mind and the voice.

🕉 Yogena cittasya padena vācaṁ
“Yoga refines the mind and speech”

“This teaching invites us into a deeper question:
👉 How are we using our voice?
👉 Are our words/communication aligned with our truth?
👉 And does our speech reflect clarity or conditioning?

Check out my for some and your dose of to lead a life of and as you align and refine

Design over decision - stop living in default mode

Don’t make reactive decisions to the life in front of you - design the way you make choices to carve out a life for yourself that you desire

Decisions are necessary and important - yet that are much more potent and powerful when they come from an intentional and aware place from within from which you start from first ….

Yatra yogeśvaraḥ kṛṣṇo yatra pārtho dhanur-dharaḥ
Tatra śrīr vijayo bhūtir dhruvā nītir matir mama

Where there is Krishna and Arjuna, there is victory.
(Bhagavad Gītā 18.78)

This verse teaches us about aligned action — the sacred partnership between divine guidance (Krsna as the charioteer) and human courage (Arjuna as the warrior on the battlefield)

Victory arises when divine wisdom (Krishna) and human action (Arjuna) move together.

This is not passive spirituality — it’s conscious, aligned living.

Ask yourself : Where in my life am I being called to align my actions with divine guidance

12/16/2025

What if success in life isn’t about trying harder — but aligning more with inner wisdom?

The Bhagavad Gītā ends with a profound truth:
🕉 Yatra yogeśvaraḥ kṛṣṇo… tatra śrīr vijayo
Where there is Krishna and Arjuna, there is victory. (18.78)

This verse reveals the sacred partnership between divine guidance (Krishna) and human action (Arjuna). Victory arises when intuition leads and courage follows.

In this Monday Message, we explore:
✨ Why alignment creates success more than force
✨ How divine wisdom shows up as intuition
✨ The role of courageous action in spiritual life
✨ What aligned action looks like in work, leadership, and relationships
✨ How grace and clarity follow integrity

🎥 Watch now and learn how to move through life with wisdom, courage, and trust (link for full video in my bio - click on Monday Message)

A note of encouragement as we surrender during these last few weeks of the year of the snake !!!

Yogic Wisdom 🕉 for modern times
Sarva dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
Abandon all varieties of duty and religion, Surrender to Me alone, and fear not

Bhagavad Gita (18.66)
This is the heart of Śaraṇam — sacred surrender, trust, and taking refuge in the divine support that is always available.

You don’t have to carry everything alone

The Gītā reminds us:
🕉 Sarva dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
Give up all religions and Surrender to Me alone. Have No Fear

This is the heart of Śaraṇam — the sacred act of releasing control and trusting divine support.

In this week’s Monday Message, we explore:
✨ Why surrender is not giving up
✨ How letting go dissolves fear
✨ What divine support actually feels like
✨ How surrender realigns you to your true path
✨ Why softening creates more clarity than forcing

Surrender isn’t weakness.
It’s wisdom.
It’s trust.
It’s liberation.

Yes that’s my laundry going in the background
Yes I am in my kitchen
Yes I am amped up
Yes - I had to make this video ….

It’s not okay - stop regurgitating things you heard without verifying and checking yourself

STOP teaching things that you yourself have not studied enough to know if the information is accurate or not

Stop faking the funk
Stop trying to be insightful
Stop trying to sound full of wisdom
Stop pretending you have credibility by spouting of things that are untrue or inaccurate

It’s not cute
It’s not okay
It’s not integrous
IT LACKS STANDARDS !!!

Whatever happened to having and holding high standards (healthy high standards) for the leaders within the yoga community !!!

It’s not a trend - stop doing trendy things - stop perpetuating the fake, superficial uneducated culture of regurgitation !!!

Just stop !!

Please send out as a PSA to any yoga teacher you know

🙏

The mind can study the Divine…
but only the heart can know the Divine

The Bhagavad Gītā reminds us:
🕉 Bhaktiḥ mām abhijānāti
“Through devotion, one truly knows.”

This week’s Monday Message explores:
✨ Devotion as a path to true understanding
✨ How love reveals what intellect cannot
✨ Heart-led leadership & service
✨ How devotion purifies fear and aligns your purpose
✨ The simplicity and power of Bhakti

Devotion doesn’t make you small — it makes you spacious.

It opens you, softens you, strengthens you, and connects you to your highest truth.
