Lesson-3-New-Pdf.Pdf Sankhya Philosophy Lesson 3 Sankhya Philosophy Module 1:: Lesson 3 Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 Yoga and Ayurveda • Are sister sciences. • They are two paths, intertwined. • Originated from the ancient Sanskrit texts, called the Vedas. • Ayurveda :: is the healing side of these teachings. • Yoga :: is the practical, both paths overlap. • Yoga, and Ayurveda are rooted in the same Vedantic philosophy of Samkhya. Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 State of Consciousness :: Brahman • Brahman: The state of consciousness. • As God. • The Universal Consciousness. • Brahman is beyond name, beyond form. • Formless • Nameless • Omnipresent • Omniscient Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 AUM :: • All of creation began as a vibration or sound originated from Braham. • A-U-M or ‘AAAUUUMMMM • The symbol of AUM: • According to Samkhya, it is the primordial sound which is the womb of the entire manifested Universe. Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 AUM :: • The vibration created a schism or disturbance. • Science refers to this as the “Big Bang”. • In Samkhya, this is not a one time event, but a continuous movement or vibration that is ongoing. • If AUM stops for an instant, all of the Universe as we know it will disappear instantly! • AUM is the unfolding of the Universal Consciousness as our experience of the Universe. Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 Brahman :: • Desire of Brahman… which caused the vibration AUM, and the vibration which then began to manisfest the Universe. • Out of this vibration, a mirror image of Brahman was created. • This reflection called Prakriti. • “NOTHING”, and “SOMETHING” or the Observer and the Observed. • Samkhya names these two aspects: Purusha and Prakriti. Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 Purusha and Prakriti :: • Purusha as the Observer part of your Self. • Prakriti as that part of you that you can observe. • Purusha is Un-manifested consciousness. • Prakriti is un-manifested Nature. Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 Purusha :: • Eternal • Consciousness • Uncreated • Neither cause nor effect • Un-manifested • Indescribable • Absolute • Pure • Does not Create • Constant • Infinite Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 Prakriti :: • Eternal • Infinite • Uncreated • Causes & Effects • Un-manifested • Matter & Energy • Created • Indestructible • Dynamic • Impure • Absolute • Transforms Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 Purusha & Prakriti :: • Both are just aspects of the 1 Brahman. • Neither of them are actually manifested. • Prakriti is not actually separate from Brahman anymore than Purusha. • Purusha :: would be your true Self. • Prakriti :: would be your illusory image or your reflection. Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 Observer & Observed :: • Yoga is the practice for realizing your Purusha, your Observer. • You are the Observed. • Prakriti is the Observed, the Creatrix. Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 Three Gunas • Sattva or the quality of (purity). • Is the quality of the Observer. • True Self. • Rajas the quality of (action). • Is the quality of observing. • Reflective action of the mirror. • Tamas the quality of (inertia). • Is the quality of the Observed. • Reflection itself. Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 Mahabhutas • These 5 elements make up what we know as the physical Universe. • They are: Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 Doshas • Vata :: a combination of Ether and Air. • Pitta :: which is a combination of Fire and Water. • Kapha :: which is a combination of Water and Earth. Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 • You are a microcosm of the Universe, and a reflection of the Divine or Universal Consciousness. • You are the Observer AND you are the Observed. • You are consciousness itself, reflecting itself, observing itself. Yoga Veda Institute Sankhya Philosophy :: Module 1:: lesson 3 • Yoga gives you the tools and techniques to identify with the Observer aspect of your self. • Ayurveda gives you the knowledge to balance the mind and body so that you are a true reflection, without distortions of physical or mental disease. • These two paths, which are really one in the same, should be practiced in conjunction in order to bring you back to equilibrium and your natural state of Bliss.

  • Adi Sankaracharya's VIVEKACHUDAMANI
    Adi Sankaracharya's VIVEKACHUDAMANI Translated by Swami Madhavananda Published by Advaita Ashram, Kolkatta 1. I bow to Govinda, whose nature is Bliss Supreme, who is the Sadguru, who can be known only from the import of all Vedanta, and who is beyond the reach of speech and mind. 2. For all beings a human birth is difficult to obtain, more so is a male body; rarer than that is Brahmanahood; rarer still is the attachment to the path of Vedic religion; higher than this is erudition in the scriptures; discrimination between the Self and not-Self, Realisation, and continuing in a state of identity with Brahman – these come next in order. (This kind of) Mukti (Liberation) is not to be attained except through the well- earned merits of a hundred crore of births. 3. These are three things which are rare indeed and are due to the grace of God – namely, a human birth, the longing for Liberation, and the protecting care of a perfected sage. 4. The man who, having by some means obtained a human birth, with a male body and mastery of the Vedas to boot, is foolish enough not to exert himself for self-liberation, verily commits suicide, for he kills himself by clinging to things unreal. 5. What greater fool is there than the man who having obtained a rare human body, and a masculine body too, neglects to achieve the real end of this life ? 6. Let people quote the Scriptures and sacrifice to the gods, let them perform rituals and worship the deities, but there is no Liberation without the realisation of one’s identity with the Atman, no, not even in the lifetime of a hundred Brahmas put together.

  • Samkhya Philosophy
    Samkhya Philosophy Yoga Veda Institute Samkhya Philosophy Introduction to Samkhya Äyurveda is literally translated as ‘Knowledge of Life’. So, even though this knowledge may be scientific, it is also very much a philosophical view of life. There are six major philosophical views, or perspectives in India. Think of it as an object, which can be viewed six dierent ways- you can have a frontal view, back view, birds eye view, a long distant view, an extreme close up, and so on. Similarly, Knowledge and Life can also be seen with dierent perspectives. In India, it’s reered to as the Shad Darshan {the six philosophies of life}. These six perspectives or philosophies, whereby, we view or experience ‘life’ are: • Samkhya {Theory of creation, Duality and Enumeration} Seer Kapila Muni • Nyaya {Logic and Reasoning} Seer Gautama Rishi • Vaisheshika {Unique Aspect} Seer Kanada • Mimasa {Ritual} Seer Jaimani • Yoga {Union – practical application of Sankhya} Seer Patanjali • Vedanta {Study of Veda Sutras} Seer Veda Vyasa In this program we are focusing on Samkhya, and Vedanta. Among these six perspectives and philosophies Äyurveda has been inuenced most by Samkhya. There have been inuences from other philosophies like Mimamsa, Yoga and Vedanta as well. Samkhya Philosophy Definition of Samkhya Samkhya Philosophy translates as “Theory of Numbers or Enumeration” and subtle principle of energies that govern the universe, and all the living entities. It is impossible to understand Äyurveda without understanding Samkhya Philosophy. Mentions of Samkhya are found in various ancient texts, however, we will focus on ‘Bhagavata Purana’ and teachings of Kapila, and Caraka Samhita. Samkhya is one of the six perspectives or philosophies that inuenced Äyurveda.

The first, which believes in the authority of Vedas, is known as the Orthodox or Astik tradition. This tradition includes Samkhya yoga, Uttar Mimansa, Purva Mimansa, Nyaya, Vaishesika, Upanisads and the Gita. On the other hand, the second tradition, which does not accept the authority of the Vedas, called the heterodox, or Nustik tradition, includes the Buddhist philosophy, the Jain philosophy and the Charvak philosophy. It is pertinent to mention in this context that the terms Nastik and Astik are not to be considered, as they are in common parlance: Astik as one that believes in the existence of God and Nastik, which does not.

  • How to Discover Your Sankalpa
    How to Discover Your Sankalpa Discovering your sankalpa is a process of listening. Your heartfelt desire is already present, waiting to be seen, heard, and felt. It’s not something you need to make up, and the mind doesn’t have to go wildly searching for it. Three stages of listening The first, sravana, is the willingness to hear the message of the heartfelt desire. It can take courage to listen to the heart, and a quiet, settled mind—one cultivated through meditation—will best be able to hear this innermost call. The second state, manana, is the act of turning to and welcoming the messenger in. When you hear the call, you must be willing to sit with it, feel it, and deeply reflect on it. The final stage, nididhyasana, is the willingness to do what the heartfelt desire requires of you. It will call you into action, into the world and from there you must be willing to respond! What do I really want? It’s always best to start right from where you are whilst remembering that a Sankalpa will develop and change overtime. Any goal can be an entry point, including a typical New Year’s resolution. Even a desire that might be interpreted as simple or shallow can lead you to the heart’s desire. It might arise out of conditioning, but if you trust the practice and keep following the heart’s desire, it will take you to the essence of your being. Deeper Questioning To get to that deeper yearning, work with whatever goal arises, but also ask yourself what’s underneath it.

  • HUMAN RIGHTS in HINDUISM by Ahmad Syarif H 1 ABSTRAK
    HUMAN RIGHTS IN HINDUISM By Ahmad Syarif H 1 ABSTRAK Konsep Hak Asasi Manusia dalam Agama Hindu sampai sekarang masih menjadi perdebatan. Hal ini disebabkan oleh adanya system kasta yang menjadi salah satu ajaran penting dalam agama Hindu yang mendapat legitimasi keagamaan seperti yang terdapat dalam Undang-Undang Manu. Undang-undang ini menegaskan bahwa apa pun yang dilakukan oleh umat Hindu berdasarkan kasta (Varna) yang mereka miliki adalah salah satu bentuk tugas (dharma) sebagai salah satu jalan untuk mengabdi kepada Tuhan. Sedangkan di sisi lain, Sistem Kasta dipandang cenderung membuat hirarki social dimana hal tersebut telah membatasi hak-hak asasi manusia yang dimiliki oleh setiap individu di dunia ini. Kata Kunci : Hak Asasi Manusia, Kasta, Hindu. Introduction Talking about Human rights in Hinduism can’t be separated from its concept of caste system. Caste system was always assumed that it limits and breaks the Human rights which are belong to all human being in his life. For Hindu people, making a relation between caste system and human rights is misleading. This concept for them does not have relation to caste system. Caste System which has legalization from Hindu Scriptures emphasizes that what Hindus do or have with their varna (caste) is duties (dharma)2 as a way to obedience to the God. Hinduism by its caste system which consists of Brahmins (priests), kshatriyas (rule justly and protect society or warrior), vaishyas (artisans and traders), shudras (workers), and chandalas (despised untouchables, street sweeping and carrying dead bodies) believes that it 1 Lecturer at Faculty of Ushuluddin and Islamic Thought, Raden Fatah State Islamic University Palembang-Indonesia.
