Manov-Siddha Yoga Path: 366 Daily Aphorisms for 2026 (Leap Year)
Welcome to the full day-wise cycle of the Manov-Siddha Yoga Path for 2026, a leap year with 366 days. Each day features one aphorism integrating ancient wisdom (Thirumoolar’s Siddha yoga, Patanjali’s sutras, Thiruvalluvar’s virtue, Graeco-Roman Stoicism and Aristotelian mean) with modern insights (Nietzsche, Frankl, Kant, positive psychology) and global traditions (Taoism’s wu wei, Confucianism’s ren, Ubuntu’s interconnectedness, Ma’at’s balance, ISS-inspired planetary unity).
Daily Practice: Morning – chant the aphorism 108 times with “Om” or breath (“So-Ham”). Day – apply it across scales (personal heroism, family bonds, team resilience, homeland harmony, cosmic unity). Evening – reflect on meaning created.
Themes progress monthly, building from inner self to cosmic union.
