(äüsUÇm!-3-2-10) Mugdhe'rthasampattirpariçeñät (Brahmasütram-3-2-10) Meaning: In a swoon (in a person who is senseless) there is half union on account of this remaining (as the only alternative left, as the only possible hypothesis) Now in this chapter, different stages of jiva condition, as considered by medical authorities. through which he will be travelling are projected. So, lack of understanding is one thing. He will As we know the awakened condition, dream and not recognize anyone but fear manovrutti or sushupatih or deep sleep, all are examined in mental condition will be there. That is why this is the scriptural back ground. One more stage, neither jagaratam nor swapana, but it is another through which jiva rarely passes is mugdha subdivision in sushupati. However, in sushupati stage. Mugdha the unconscious stage, wherein a the face will be blooming with bliss, very calm, person becomes unconscious due to say, a sudden very quiet. But here it is experiencing a deep injury to the head. What is that stage? It is not shock, expressed through eye movements and dream that he will be having during that time, so many other body languages. So jivatama will nor awake because he is not understanding what be undergoing in these stages when there will is around him, nor deep sleep because the mind be sudden shock; sometime unexpected things is full of fear and shock, nor dream because he is happen in his family or the most beloved people not imagining anything before his eyes. So, this die or something hitting to his head region, particular stage is to be analyzed. Vyasacharya both the physical regions and mental regions takes this particular area for discussion. He will be under some abnormal experiences. (ard calls it ardhasampatti. Ardhasampatti means henasuñuptasyabhavatimugdhatvam). So, it is it is ardhasushuptam. Sampatti is a word for neither death condition nor sushupatam (ardh deep sleep (satäsomyatadäsampadyate) that is asampattimbrahmavidaùicchanti) that is what th how it is described in 6th chapter in Chandogya Shankaracharya says. It is not a 5 condition, upanishad. This particular condition cannot be not a separate, secluded condition; but this included in all the above three popular stages, is a part of sushupti, that’s what is concluded namely jagruta, swapna and sushupti. So it is here. Even Ayurveda and all others also agree with this stage, (prasiddhacaiñälokäyrveda - called ardhasampatti or ardhasushuptam. That yoùardhasampattiù napaïcamégaëyate). means he will be in a shock, sudden shock. That is why fear will be there. That fear or shock is So that particular chapter meant expressed through his eyes during that stage. for (tvam padarthaviveka and tat People may undergo fits as popularly called, padarthaviveka) tvam is individual soul, tat is even some abnormal state of the psychic universal soul. Mahavakyaarthanirnaya 64 Yoga Sudha it is very important here; hence the mahavakya Tattvamasi, from the 6th chapter, has been considered here. So tvam, the individual soul is projected properly. Here afterwards Vyasacharya, Badarayana takes up tatpadartha that is called (naùsthänatopiparasyaubhayaliìgamsarvatrahi) because tvam - tat these two are not kept separately in this order. Jivah, though he will be crossing through all these stages, is plugged to that highest power Centre, that is tatpadartha, the universal soul (sarvakarmä sarvakämaù sarvagandhaùsarvarasaù). All these descriptions are there for universal soul because sarva word is repeated here, and sometime the same universal soul is called (asthülamanaëuahrasvamadérgham) so it is described with negative prefix. Here purvapakshi traces some cacophony tone. How to go? Whether this is with worldly attribution or without worldly attributions. This particular area is addressed here, but (sthänatopi) even partially also it cannot be ubhayaligam, it is only nirvikalpakam without any attributions. That is how it is concluded. to be continued...

The third is the deep sleep symbolized by silence and the mystic mantra state (sushupti) or the causal state. A person is AUM.

He was afflicted by diabetes, hypertension, pain in both knee joints, shoulder pain, low back pain and hip joint pain. And all of this combined with weakness, a total lack of energy. That appeared to be more than most patients’ share of their problem at age 52. After battling it out these issues for a decade, Mr. Keshav Raju (name changed), aged 62, came to Arogyadhama in September 2015. In addition, he had bad breath and occasional gastritis. He is on regular medication. The low back pain aggravates when walking and gives relief when resting. The pain in the right shoulder is there since many years. Diagnosis: Diabetes, hypertension, knee pain, shoulder pain and back pain. During his week-long stay at Arogyadhama, he underwent various yoga practices based on Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy (IAYT) which comprised a special yoga module designed specifically to relax, strengthen and make the person more flexible at the body and mind level and to achieve total wellbeing. In addition, Pranayama, Cyclic Meditation, Mind Sound Resonance Technique, and relaxation techniques were included in the schedule. Lectures on lifestyle and dietary management information were organised to ensure better lifestyle for overall health. He was taught certain special techniques which are designed to arrest and eventually minimise or altogether eliminate pain and resolve his back and neck problems. He was also trained to perform certain Kriyäs which cleanse the body of toxins. His schedule used to start at 5:30 am with pranayama and meditation followed by various activities that continued till 7:30 pm. These activities included special techniques (asanas, loosening exercises and relaxation techniques) designed to reduce pain. In order to enhance his relaxation and calmness of mind special meditation techniques were administered (cyclic meditation, trataka and mind sound resonance technique). Among the koshas that proved to be of considerable help to him were Manomaya Kosha and Annamaya Kosha. His parameters were monitored on a daily basis to keep track of his progress. Condition on Discharge: The participant was relaxed and better after his stay in Prashanti, Arogyadham. There has been a consistent improvement in all his vital and clinical parameters. Improvement in Brahmari time and straight leg raising have been positively recorded. Details of assessments before and after yoga therapy are furnished below: 1816 Yoga Sudha Vital Parameters as on Date of Arrival (DoA) and Date of Departure (DoD) Parameters DoA DoD Specific Parameters DoA DoD Pulse Beats/min 68 64 Weight in Kg 71.4 70/4 BP in mm haemoglobin 160/90 150/80 Height 172 Respiratory Cycles/min 20 16 Symptom Score 8 0 Straight Leg Raising Brahmari Time (Sec) 10 11 60/60 90/90 (R & L) degrees Medication Score 01 01 Week-wise Improvement Description 1st Week Improved Back pain + hip pain: Symptoms Pain while forward bending ↓ by 100 % Pain while backward bending ↓ by 100 % Pain while side bending (right) ↓ by 100 % Pain while side bending (left) ↓ by 100 % Straight leg raising (right) improved by 50% Straight leg raising (left) improved by 50% Sit and reach better by 20% Section F - T2DM with Diabetic Retinopathy (Left eye >Right eye) with left eye Macular Degeneration, Essential Hypertension, Geographic Tongue, Osteo Arthritis of both Hip Joint Health issues are inescapable while we graduate into old age. But even for an understanding aged person, the number of health issues he could perhaps take in his stride would have a ceiling beyond which he will not be able to endure. One person who came close to this category was perhaps Mr. Sagar (name changed), who at 63, had a rough ride in life so far as his health was concerned. Mr. Sagar suffered from 10 different ailments over the past two decades. Diabetes struck him 23 years ago when he was just 40. He was a case of diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration which is an eye disorder that slowly destroys sharp, central vision. It is most common in senior citizens. About 15 years later he developed hypertension. Around the same time, he also developed hypothyroidism. He took medicine for this for three years and then stopped. Yet a few May 2018 1917 years later he was afflicted with oral thrush which is certainly a minor problem if you're healthy. But if you have a weakened immune system, symptoms of oral thrush may be more severe and difficult to control. In 2010, he was laid low by inflammatory arthritis which is a condition that affects your immune system. This means that your body's defence system starts attacking your own tissues instead of germs, viruses and other foreign substances, which can cause pain, stiffness and joint damage. The same year he underwent a cataract surgery of both eyes. He was also suffering from vertigo. In the past six months, he has been suffering from pain in both hip joints which increases while driving and decreases while walking. He was diagnosed with T2DM with Diabetic Retinopathy (Left eye >Right eye) with left eye Macular Degeneration, Essential Hypertension, Geographic Tongue, Osteoarthritis of both Hip Joints. During his stay of 2 weeks at Arogyadhama, he underwent Yoga Practices based on the integrated approach to yoga therapy which is a special yoga module prepared for Diabetes mellitus ailments in our campus based on yoga research. He was made to practice breathing exercises for his Hypertension, sukshma vyayama for his hip joint pain along with yogasanas like Ardha matsendrasana, vakrasana, trikonasana, parivrittakonasana etc along with kriyas (Yogic external detoxification techniques) like vamana dhouti (cleansing upper gastrointestinal tract) and laghu sanhka prakshalana (intestinal cleansing technique). Abhyantara kriyas like agnisara and nauli kriya were also included in the list of practices he was taught to practise. He was given a diabetic diet which included boiled /raw vegetables as a major portion. In order to give total rest to his body and mind, he was made to practice Cyclic Meditation and MSRT (Mind Sound Resonance Technique). Counselling sessions were held for him to sublimate his suppressed emotions. He was also practicing jatru trataka for his retinopathy 4 times/day. He was taught a sleep technique to overcome his disturbed sleep. Lectures on lifestyle and dietary management were organised. Thus keeping his overall health condition in mind he was put through a planned yoga module most appropriate for him. Parameters: During his stay of 2 weeks, there was a marked 2018 Yoga Sudha improvement in his blood sugar level. His Inj. Insulin was reduced by 40 units, hip pain improved by 50%.

C. George Sudarshan Words of Prof. T. M. Srinivasan, PhD, Professor, Division of Yoga and Physical Sciences It was around mid-1980’s; I was at a conference in Bangalore discussing knowledge representation in Sanskrit and its application in machine translation between Indian languages. At lunch, a person with deep knowledge in Sciences and Sastras was giving in-depth analysis of a subject under discussion. He seemed to be well versed in both sciences and in Sastras, quoting profusely from scriptures. I was very curious to know who that person was; on enquiry, I was told that he was none other than Dr. ECG Sudarshan. I was thrilled that I could talk to Prof. E.C.G. Sudarshan with his wife Dr. Bhamathi him; I had come across his ideas and writings regarding tachyons, particles that travel faster privilege to listen to him at Prasanthi while he than light. uncovered to us, areas in Physics starting from classical mechanics, to gravitational theory, and He moved to Institute of Mathsciences, just on to quantum theory – all this without using behind IIT, Madras where I was working.

He said once that there are no more his wife and a Physicist, Dr. Bhamathi both of paradoxes in Physics – implying he has taken whom were on a quest to understand reality care of the most important ones. It was again a through Physics and through our Sastras. Professor E.C.G. Sudarshan: Outstanding Physicist and Friend of S-VYASA Words of Prof. Alex Hankey, PhD, Professor, Division of Yoga and Physical Sciences Professor E.C.G. Sudarshan, who passed on in in the philosophy behind self-realization and the middle of May, was one of India’s greatest enlightenment, and met with a number of physicists. For many years he was Head of India’s leading 20th century sages. He was as the Department of Physics at the University familiar with the Vedic sciences as with modern of Texas in Austin, where he attracted Nobel science, giving countless scholarly talks on their laureates, Steven Weinberg and Ilya Prigogine, parallels after first being encouraged by His to join him.

Even though everyone recognized Institute of Sudarshan’s priority, he was never rewarded as Science, the he might have been. A similar situation arose National in the theory of coherent states in lasers. On Institute of Advanced Study in Bengaluru, and reading Donald Glaser’s first paper, Sudarshan his Alma Mater, the University of Madras. In wrote out the next stage of the theory overnight. reviewing his own development as a scientist He submitted his work to the world’s most on one such occasion, he described how he prestigious physics journal, Physical Review had worked long hours with Homi Bhabha Letters, long before Glaser submitted his own when the latter was establishing India’s atomic version of that stage of the theory. Even though energy agency. Bhabha fully recognized the Sudarshan corrected a misconception in Glaser’s young George’s brilliance, and would specially work, his priority was again not accepted by the continue working with him when the rest of the U.S. establishment, who claimed that ‘everyone day’s work was done, and his senior colleagues knew that Glaser had the theory in the pipeline’. had gone home. George was a similar friend This violation of fundamentals of priority in to many young physicists, and had a knack of scientific publishing, was just to keep the laurels encouraging those in whom he saw abilities within the grasp of WASP-ish, White Anglo- similar to his own.

In the parlance of modern medicine, Prof. T M Srinivasan if a patient responds to external stimuli, he/she Professor, Division of Yoga and Physical Sciences, S-VYASA is considered to be conscious. In psychology, an active and normal person is defined as conscious of his/her immediate environment. In past and worry about the future is the problem philosophy, the word is related to awareness of we deal with every day; a shadow problem that one’s environment; is legal terms, one is aware ceases to exist once one recognizes the origin of one’s legal rights and obligations. Thus, each of this worry. Hence, controlling citta is the area of specialty has chosen to use the term in primary aim in Yoga practice. its own unique way without questioning its use In the science of Consciousness, there is an in other areas. This is not good for the science urgent need to define the words we use; in the of consciousness. In science, including esoteric area of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine, the sciences, each term is used in a very specific problem is immense since each researcher and way. For example, power and energy have very each practitioner tends put his / her own spin unique definitions in Physics. These words may on these terms. This is certainly not conducive be used to indicate the invincibility of a great to the growth of science of Consciousness. As is king of yore or to designate in relative terms seen, in this write up, we are using capitalized the energy for action one has on a particular first letter for Consciousness to drive home the day. However, this linguistic license is only for message that this is a defined term. Let us turn every day usage and cannot be used in Physics our attention to some aspects of healing that all without proper reference. of us are interested in. In esoteric sciences too, we see well-defined terms Energy Medicine is a term that was coined used to convey a specific meaning. For example, around early 1990’s to include both energetic and in Yoga literature, mind (which is an ill-defined informational interactions in living systems that term) is split into four working components and could re-establish and promote homeostasis in each is defined appropriately. One component an organism. We know what energy is from the of mind is citta; this is the capacity of the mind perspective of Physics; it is the ability to work. to regurgitate stored memory and ruminating In other words, if work – either mechanical on it ad infinitum. Actually, this ruination of the or electrical or of any other nature – is to be performed, we require energy to do that work. For example, we need to run a TV from the household electric outlet; we then connect the TV appropriately to the electrical source and the TV works on the electrical energy supplied by the utility company. This energy then ‘runs’ the TV. We have of course to pay for this energy; we pay how much power we draw from the source and for how long. Power times the number of Fig 1: There is a molecule for every emotion minutes or hours that we use the device forms 2624 Yoga Sudha energy. In a normal situation, no one really knows how much energy costs! They only know how much payment is made every month to the utility company and not the actual unit cost of energy! Coming back to Energy Medicine, it is easy to realize that energy at the most fundamental level is required to activate the cells in a proper manner. A living cell requires oxygen and glucose as fundamental fuels for normal Fig 2: When Consciousness arises, the entire horizon lights up functioning. Oxygen comes from breathing and glucose is derived from the food we eat. Though use of electrical device for long time close to glucose is simply sugar, it is not necessarily the the body. A prime example of this is the use of raw sugar we delight in; it is synthesized from electric blankets and electric waterbeds. Such proteins and other foods we consume. This is ‘conveniences’ should be avoided since we use the gross energy that is provided to the cell; in them several hours a day. case the cell is not functioning properly (i.e. it is Informational inputs could be at a very low sick!) we give prescription drugs that bring the level, namely below sensory threshold and cell back to normal functioning. these could be physical fields.

This means as we go through an emotional upheaval, the brain is set in motion with one or many biochemical marker(s) for that emotion. In the literature of India, many transducers are assigned to the subtle body; these transducers go by the name chakras. Chakra means a wheel, a spinning wheel of energy vortex that receives universal energy and could convert it into biologically relevant energy. While this is a speculation at this time, it is likely that there is an interaction between subtle and the gross as the chakras are located in relation to many nerve plexuses in the body. As we discuss the nature of Consciousness and information, their relationship and relevance to healing become evident and these aspects will be taken up later.
