  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Sabidurias Orientales Ii
    LA FILOSOFÍA HEBREA http://www.filosofia.org/zgo/hf2/ La Filosofía entre los hebreos No existió entre los hebreos, como tampoco existió entre los egipcios, ni entre los secuaces del mazdeísmo, la Filosofía racional y científica, la Filosofía propiamente dicha o sistematizada, si se exceptúan los últimos siglos de su historia nacional, en que aparecen algunos ensayos más o menos sistemáticos. En [85] cambio, y gracias a la revelación divina, el pueblo hebreo conoció y poseyó un conjunto de verdades teológicas, metafísicas, morales y político-sociales, que constituyen una Filosofía y una ciencia, muy superiores, en cuanto a verdad y pureza de doctrina, a todas las ciencias y a todos los sistemas filosóficos de las antiguas naciones y civilizaciones, sin excluir las de Grecia y Roma. Para convencerse de ello, bastará exponer sumariamente ese conjunto de verdades, comparándolas de paso con las ideas, máximas y práctica de otras naciones y pueblos. a) Enfrente del panteísmo indio, del dualismo iránico, del ateísmo búdhico y sínico, y del politeísmo egipcio y greco-romano, el pueblo hebreo, enseñado por la palabra divina, afirma la existencia de un Dios único, personal, vivo, eterno, trascendente, distinto y superior al mundo, inteligente, libre, omnipotente, infinitamente santo, justo y misericordioso para con el hombre. b) El dios del brahmanismo saca al hombre de su propia substancia, o, mejor dicho, el mundo y los seres son fenómenos y evoluciones de la substancia divina. El dios de Zoroastro y de la Filosofía griega, o sustituye el dualismo a la unidad, o degenera en naturalismo, y, en todo caso, o apenas vislumbra, o desconoce por completo y niega la creación ex nihilo.

This science has now become increasingly popular in many countries. There are several health conditions that can be cured or at least alleviated to a great extent, through the practice of this science. Yoga includes Asana, Pranayam and exercises that can help body, immunity, increase strength, weight loss, remove stress and relief from pains, infections and disorders. Some of the various yoga poses and techniques can be used to cure numerous conditions ranging from nasal polyps to cancer. Since a sinus infection is one of the most common respiratory ailments that people suffer from, it is only common for them to use natural practices to cure this condition. Yoga practice, which is known as Jala neti or Sutra neti, i.e., cleansing of nasal cavity, throat can help reduce the pain and discomfort due to sinusitis, within a shorter period of time. These procedures are known as Neti kriya. Neti kriya is an integral part of shatkarmas / the six cleansing techniques that form the most important aspect of hatha yoga.
