Bringing Ancient Wisdom to Modern Schools - The Sarala Kula
In the resplendent garden of the Sarala system, a venerable tree of wisdom flourishes, its roots delving deep into the fertile soil of consciousness. From this ancient tree springs forth a myriad of branches, each bearing the sacred fruits of spiritual tools and disciplines.
Among these divine instruments is Tantra, the sublime loom on which the fabric of the universe is woven, intertwining the threads of Shiva and Shakti, consciousness and energy, in the eternal dance of creation.
Yoga, the venerable union, emerges as the grand harmonizer, a confluence where the individual spirit merges with the universal, a sacred junction where the breath of life aligns with the cosmic pulse.
Asanas, the postures of stillness and movement, serve as the sacred geometry of the body, crafting a temple within which the spirit can reside and flourish, each pose a tribute to the balance and beauty of existence.
Gyana, the lamp of knowledge, dispels the shadows of ignorance, illuminating the path to the innermost sanctum of truth, guiding seekers through the labyrinth of the mind to the sanctity of enlightenment.
Dhyana, the meditative rapture, is the silent river that flows towards the ocean of tranquility, carrying the meditator on a serene voyage from the tumultuous shores of thought to the serene depths of awareness.
These tools, bestowed by the Sarala system, are neither the beginning nor the end, but gateways to the boundless. They are sacred keys to unlock the myriad doors of perception, instruments to tune the symphony of the soul, and heralds of the dawn of wisdom. Each practitioner, a sage in their own right, may wield these tools with reverence and discernment, journeying upon the spiral path towards the heart of liberation.
