  • Detoxification and Traditional Hatha Yoga(New)
    Detoxification in Hatha Yoga and Ayurveda By Mas Vidal Introduction The Hatha Yoga Pradipika (HYP) is a unique text of the Nath yogis that enumerates some interesting methods for purifying the body. Swami Svatmarama, the chief disciple of Swami Goraknath authored it during the medieval period. Evidently, Matsyendranath, founder of the Nath (synonym for Shiva) cult along with Goraknath understood clearly the importance of mind- body purification as requisites for spiritual evolution and thus created a six-fold system (shat- karma) of detoxification. This popular yoga text is composed of four chapters. In brief, the first chapter deals with postural yoga (asana); chapter two deals with the six actions of purification (shatkarma and pranayama); chapter three describes the physical gestures and energy locks (mudras and bandhas), and chapter four discusses spiritual liberation (samadhi). The placement of the shat-karmas (purification practices) in the second chapter prior to the last chapter on samadhi (liberation) indicates the importance of having a clean bodily house to attain spiritual freedom. This article highlights the correlation the detoxifying actions described in chapter two of the HYP with those mentioned in the main Ayurvedic text, Charaka Samhita. Interestingly, the HYP methods have much in common with those used in Ayurveda, yoga’s sister science of self-healing. Similarly, Ayurvedic mastermind Charaka, devised a five-fold system (pancha karma) for purification of the doshas (vata, pitta & kapha) to improve the mind-body relationship. The concept of detoxification, which boldly appears in both yoga and ayurvedic systems, demonstrates a long history of inter-connectedness between the two sciences.

  • A Translation of the Vijñāna-Bhairava-Tantra (Complete but Lacking Commentary) ©2017 by Christopher Wallis Aka Hareesh
    A translation of the Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra (complete but lacking commentary) ©2017 by Christopher Wallis aka Hareesh Introductory verse (maṅgala-śloka): “Shiva is also known as ‘Bhairava’ because He brings about the [initial awakening that makes us] cry out in fear of remaining in the dreamstate (bhava-bhaya)—and due to that cry of longing he becomes manifest in the radiant domain of the heart, bestowing absence of fear (abhaya) for those who are terrified. He is also known as Bhairava because he is the Lord of those who delight in his awesome roar (bhīrava), which signals the death of Death! Being the Master of that flock of excellent Yogins who tire of fear and seek release, he is Bhairava—the Supreme, whose form is Consciousness (vijñāna). As the giver of nourishment, he extends his Power throughout the universe!” ~ the great master Rājānaka Kṣemarāja, c. 1020 CE Like most Tantrik scriptures, the Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra (c. 850 CE) takes the form of a dialogue between Śiva and Śakti, here called Bhairava and Bhairavī. It begins with the Goddess asking Bhairava: śrutaṃ deva mayā sarvaṃ rudra-yāmala-saṃbhavam | trika-bhedam aśeṣeṇa sārāt sāra-vibhāgaśaḥ || 1 || . 1. O Lord, I have heard the entire teaching of the Trika1 that has arisen from our union, in scriptures of ever greater essentiality, 2. but my doubts have not yet dissolved. What is the true nature of Reality, O Lord? Does it consist of the powers of the mystic alphabet (śabda-rāśi)?2 3. Or, amongst the terrifying forms of Bhairava, is it Navātman?3 Or is it the trinity of śaktis (Parā, Parāparā, and Aparā) that [also] constitute the three ‘heads’ of Triśirobhairava? 4.

  • Conceptual Study on Shadchakra Importance In
    INTERNATIONAL AYURVEDIC MEDICAL JOURNAL Review Article ISSN: 2320 5091 Impact Factor: 5.344 CONCEPTUAL STUDY ON SHADCHAKRAS AND ITS APPLIED ASPECT & IMPORTANCE IN SHARIR VIGYAN Shweta Vishwakarma1, Ishwar Pratap Singh Raghuwanshi2 1,2M.D. Scholar, Department of Samhita-Siddhant; Pt. Khushilal Sharma Government (Autonomous) Ayurveda College and Institute, Bhopal (M.P.), India Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Ayurveda is also a science of medicine, along with spiritual science. In it there is a description of many topics related to spirituality such as Mana, Atma, Parmatma, Adhyatmika Guna, Adhyatmika Dravya, etc. Besides this, Yoga Darshan has a great impact on Ayurveda. In Ayurveda, Yoga is a way to achieve the Moksha. According to Yoga Shastra, the Sukshma sharira is the part of our body and it is the moderator of the whole body. The person can't see or touch it, because it is the energy flow of our body. This is the reason it is called “Urja Nikaya”. There are such key points in the Sukshma sharira that is known as energy centre or Chakras. The Chakras have been known by Yogis, Rishis, and sages of various traditions of Yoga in India and all over world. They have been seen, not by physical dissection of the body, but by psychic introspection. Chakras are energy centers in the body that play an important role in our physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Our body has seven major Chakras. The six main Chakras located along the spinal column are: Muladhara, Swadhisthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha and Ajna. Beyond the six are two other centers of awakening: Bindu and Sahastrara, whose perception is acquired only at significantly evolved states of consciousness.

  • Marma in Yoga and Other Ancient Indian Traditions 1
    Exploring the Science of Marma - An Ancient Healing Technique - Part 3: Marma in Yoga and Other Ancient Indian Traditions Alka Mishra*, Vandana Shrivastava Department of Ayurveda and Holistic Health, Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, Gayatrikunj-Shantikunj, Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India *Corresponding Author: Alka Mishra - Email: [email protected] License information for readers: This paper is published online under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) License, whose full terms may be seen at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Uploaded online: 27 June 2020 Abstract Marma Science is an extremely important branch of Ayurveda. Marma points are important vital places in the body, that are the ‘seats of life’ (Prana - the vital life force). As any injury to these parts may lead to severe pain, disability, loss of function, loss of sensation, or death, therefore, they hold an important place in the science of surgery, wherein they are considered ‘Shalya Vishayardha’ (half of the entire science of surgery). The ancient scriptures have strictly directed against causing any injury to these vital spots. However, recent researches have attempted the stimulation of Marma points for theraputic benefits, with encouraging outcomes. In view of these mutually conflicting, importance applications of Marma Science, the present study was undertaken for its in-depth study. Part-1 of this study presented the information about different aspects of Marma Science in various ancient / classical Indian scriptures. Part-2 gave a detailed description of the number of marmas, their location, structures involved, classification, effect of trauma, etc., as per classical texts, as well as correlation with modern science.
