Do you want your words to carry weight? For people to listen to you and truly hear you?

💫 Yoga says: start with something simple—learn to express your thoughts without barbs, anger, or little jabs.

The principle of satya from the yama-niyama system teaches this: speak the truth, but in a benevolent way. The difference is that the very same words can be said so that the other person shuts down, or so that they accept them and reflect.

This isn’t moralizing; it’s a straightforward effectiveness practice. The cleaner and kinder your words, the less resistance you meet and the more real influence you have. Proven: when your speech carries clarity and calm, people are drawn to it.

Have you noticed that some of your relatives or colleagues can’t be persuaded about anything?
👉 Who in your circle listens to your words the least?

True courage

We’re used to seeing brave people on screen: they rush into battle, defeat enemies, save the world. But in real life, courage often looks different.

In 2019, during a marathon in Nigeria, something happened that moved viewers more than the race itself.

🏃🏾‍♂ Near the end of the 10 km distance, runner Kenneth Kipkemoi collapsed from exhaustion just a few meters before the finish line. He was so weak he could only crawl, when unexpectedly a rival came to help. Simon Cheprot, who was only a few meters behind, decided to stop and help his opponent. Kenneth was on the verge of losing consciousness, so Simon practically carried him and made sure Kenneth crossed the finish line first.

This gesture by Simon Cheprot won the admiration of all the competitors and spectators. He showed that courage isn’t only about victories and records. Sometimes it’s measured by the willingness to be there and to support. 🤗

Courage isn’t always about swords and battles. More often, it’s about a shoulder by your side. 🌿

Who is the bravest person you know?

Turns out there are yogis here!

Yesterday we posed a riddle about an asana and were happy to see many correct answers in the comments. Everyone who wrote number 3 was right.

Are there any yogis here at all?

In the picture we’ve roughly shown several asanas; one of them is dirgha pranam, the “long salutation.” Can you guess which one?

💡 Hint: this asana is done while kneeling.

Drop your guess in the comments, and meanwhile we’ll share how this one asana alone can make life easier.

Dirgha pranam asana:

▪ helps relax the back and shoulders after desk work
▪ lengthens the spine
▪ supports overcoming harmful habits

Dirgha pranam is one of three basic asanas that prepare the body and mind for meditation and improve concentration and health. Dada recommends doing them twice a day to feel the effect.

We’re waiting for the number you think is dirgha pranam in the comments. Tomorrow we’ll post the correct answer—and we’ll see who the yogis are here 👀

What is freedom—really?

We often think freedom is doing whatever we want. But behind “I want” it’s easy to hide habits, addictions, and laziness.

A classic example: smoking. A person is sure they smoke by choice. But try quitting—and it turns out the habit, not the person, is in charge.

Same with daily routine. “I’m free to wake up whenever I want” sounds proud. But if tomorrow you need to get up at 6 a.m.—can you? Or is that “freedom” just masking an inability to manage yourself?

Freedom isn’t indulging desires—it’s being able to steer them. You want to skip a run—but you go anyway. You’re drawn to binge a show—you choose a book or a practice that strengthens rather than empties you.

That is real freedom: living by conscious choice, not by inertia.

To live this way you need two qualities:

— willpower
— the ability to tell a true need from a fleeting want

Both can be developed through meditation. During practice the mind drifts—and you bring your attention back. That trains will. Over time the mind gets clearer, and it’s easier to distinguish the “genuine” from the “imposed.”

But meditation alone isn’t enough. To build strength, clarity, and resolve, you need to work with the mind, the body, and your inner aims at the same time.

That’s exactly what we do in Dada Sadananda’s new open course “Consciousness of an Outstanding Personality,” hosted in a Telegram bot. It includes:

✔ A yogic approach—Shiva’s secrets of success and how to apply them in life
✔ A coaching approach—help finding your vector and setting goals
✔ Body practices—asanas for strength, energy, and determination
