The Retroprogressive Path

Prabhuji is the creator of Pūrvavyāpi-pragatiśīlaḥ Yoga (पूर्वव्यापि-प्रगतिशील-मार्गः), or the Retroprogressive Path. It is a process of involutionary character because, as we move forward, we get closer to the originary and primary. This message of retroevolution or involutionary advancement speaks of returning to the source, getting closer to where we really are, of returning to what we truly are, and going back to what it is impossible to abandon. This path is a march toward the here and now, as this Hebrew blessing indicates:

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה’ אֱלֹקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם
שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ וְקִיְּמָנוּ וְהִגִיעָנוּ לַזְּמַן הַזֶּה

ַ“Blessed are You, O Lord, our God, King of the Universe, who has granted us life, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this occasion.”

Although Prabhuji’s teachings are universal, liberal, interreligious, and inclusive, it would be a mistake to disconnect them from religion and spirituality.
