We live in an era where there is a constant battle for our attention. And the less we consciously direct it ourselves, the more it shapes everything else — our relationships, the depth of our thinking, and even our ability to truly feel.

▪️Why do we get tired more quickly?
▪️Why has it become harder to concentrate?
▪️Why are we always connected, yet finding it more difficult to experience real closeness?

What are chakras, really?

Chakras are energy centers that govern not only the body but also emotions, character, willpower, and even worldview. Ancient masters described them as vortices of life force—lotuses with a different number of petals. The study of these centers developed into the science of chakras—Chakra Vidya—which is based on an understanding of our body's internal structure.

Here is how the influence of the chakras is reflected in daily life:

Muladhara — provides stability, steadiness, and good health. A person feels grounded, worries less about the future, and the body becomes more resilient 🌿

Svadhisthana — provides charm, grace, and develops taste in food, music, and art. Flexibility, emotional maturity, and the ability to flow around difficulties instead of fighting them appear.

Manipura — ignites the inner fire and gives fearlessness. More decisiveness, energy, and leadership qualities. Chronic laziness and doubt disappear.

Anahata — develops the ability to inspire, build deep relationships, and perceive everything subtle, inaccessible to the eyes and ears. Lightness, charisma, and inner calmness appear even in difficult situations.

Vishuddha — enhances intellect and the power of words. Extraordinary charisma, eloquence, and a good memory appear. All the best virtues of human nature are rooted in this chakra.

Ajna — gives concentration and clarity of mind, less chaos in thoughts, more understanding of oneself and what is happening, and helps to realize oneself as universal Consciousness. The potential for omniscience is stored here.

Sahasrara — the thousand-petaled center, fills life with meaning. It provides a stable psyche, sound sleep, and a sharp mind. A sense of wholeness, inner peace, and depth arises ✨

When the energy in the centers is balanced, not just your well-being changes — your life itself changes. Working with chakras is one of the most effective and powerful spiritual practices.

Which area resonates with you the most right now — energy, emotions, willpower, or the search for meaning?

How to overcome a crisis in life?
✨New video✨
What actually threatens modern civilization?

We are used to thinking about external threats: economics, politics, wars. But sometimes the root of a crisis lies much deeper — within the person himself.

In this video, Dada Sadananda reflects on the changes occurring today in our thinking, will, and values — and why the future of society depends on exactly that.

Watch right now and share in the comments under the video — do you agree with this view on what is happening? 🌏

Within each of us lives a spark of genius, hidden under a layer of daily chores and constant background thoughts—what to cook for dinner, when to submit a report, or how much the boss is annoying you. Regular meditation clears the mind of this extra noise and opens access to an inner source of ideas.

When we disconnect from the external world, the body, and our thoughts to connect with the infinite, pride, anger, greed, and other enemies of the mind stop blocking our natural genius. We begin to notice beauty in simple things and create not for applause, but to share our vision of beauty with the world.

Just ten minutes in the morning and evening, and an idea for a new project, a poem, or a solution that has been lingering in the air is born in your head. Meditation is not a magic pill, but a key to our inner strength. It teaches us to see opportunities where there was only chaos before and turn them into reality.

Start today.

Today we’re talking about the deeper needs that nourish our spiritual life—and why collective practice can literally “reset” our nervous system and create an effect that’s hard to achieve alone.

We’ll also discuss the flip side: how a community can have a negative influence, and what it’s important to hold onto within yourself so you don’t lose personal responsibility.

Do you prefer to practice on your own or in a circle? Leave your questions in the comments under the video—we’ll pass them on to Dada, and if this topic resonates with you, he’ll explore it even more deeply in the next online livestream.

00:58 Collective spiritual practice is called Dharmachakra.
01:16 Dharma means spiritual nature, the most innate characteristic that makes human human.
01:27 What is our Dharma? It has four dimensions.
01:34 Number one – growth.
02:12 Second - to find your place, to be in your place.
03:34 Third - service.
05:05 Fourth - immortality. We are seeking for immortality.
07:32 Dharmachakra is this circle, is the ecosystem that promotes the fulfillment of these four instincts, that awakens those instincts in you.
07:56 Three basic things of Dharmachakra - collective singing, collective meditation, collective meal.
