  • Yoga As Applied Philosophy
    YOGA AS APPLIED PHILOSOPHY Chair person: Dr.Hemanth Bhargav Presenter: Shreelakshmi AP, Assistant Professor, Yoga Therapist Department of Integrative Medicine. NIMHANS What is YOGA? • The word yoga comes from the sanskrit root yuj, which means “to join”. • Yoga is not a religion ; it is a way of living whose aim is a healthy mind in a healthy body. • Yoga is a science of Holistic living and not merely set of asanas and pranayama. • Yoga is conscious art of self-discovery. • Yoga is an all round development of personality at physical , mental intellectual, emotional and spiritual level. Yoga Contd.. • Yoga on one hand concentrates on keeping man healthy and on other hand it is a cohesion with the physical development and good habits to keep human body healthy. • Yoga science rests on the twin principles of cultivating practises (abhyasa) that bring stable tranquillity and non attachment (vairagya). (PYS 1.12) Definitions of Yoga as per Different Ancient Texts 1.Yum Prakrityo viyogepi Yoga Ityabhidhiyate | • Distinguishing clearly between purusha (consciouness) and prakriti (matter) is yoga and establishing purusha in his own pure state is yoga. (Sankhya Darshana, Sage Kapila) 2.Yogaha Chitta Vrutti Nirodhaha || (PYS-1.2) Yoga is calming down of mental agitations (chitta vrittis). 3.Manah prashamana upayah Yoga Iti Abhidhiyate | (Yog Vashishta 3.9.32) Yoga is a skill to calm down the mind. 4. Samatvam Yoga Uchyate II yoga-sthaḥ kuru karmāṇi saṅgaṁ tyaktvā dhanañjaya siddhy-asiddhyoḥ samo bhūtvā samatvaṁ yoga uchyate (Bhagvad Gita, BG: 2.48) • Be steadfast in the performance of your duty, O Arjun, abandoning attachment to success and failure.

  • Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali)
    Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali) English version by Octavian Sarbatoare Chapter I - Awareness (samadhi) 1. Now (are presented) instructions on yoga. 2. Yoga is cessation (nirodha) of the mind modifications (cittavrittis). 3. In this way, the witness (drashta) rests in one's own essential nature (svarupa). 4. Otherwise (the witness) identifies (the experience) with (mind's) modifications (vrittis). 5. There are five modifications (vrittis) of the mind, afflicting more or less. 6. (They are) correct knowledge (pramana), incorrect knowledge (viparyaya), imagination (vikalpa), sleep (nidra), memory (smriti). 7. The right knowledge (pramana) (could be experienced by) direct perception (pratyaksha), inference (anumana) and inner inspiration (agama). 8. The incorrect knowledge (viparyaya) is what does not correspond to the reality. 9. Imagination (vikalpa) is the identification with the knowledge brought by thoughts that have no consistency with the reality. 10. Sleep (nidra) is a modification (vritti) (of the mind) that does not hold as mental content. 11. Memory (smriti) is what retains the perception experienced by the senses. 12. The cessation (of the cittavrittis) is done by (persistent) practice (abhyasa) and not- attachment (vairagya). 13. One out of these two (helpings) is the practice (abhyasa) (consisting of) being firmly established in one's own effort. 14. The practice (abhyasa) becomes firm when it is done for a long period of time without interruption and with devotion (towards the aim in sight). 15. (The other one) the non-attachment (vairagya) is that state of awareness in which the craving for sense objects (vishaya), (brought by what was) seen or heard, is under control.

  • The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
    PHILOSOPHY/THEOSOPHY T The purpose of this book is to bring together in a convenient and HE coherent form the many HERMES articles written by Prof. Iyer that dealt with this subject. In truth, meditation and self-study represent two HE OGA UTRAS T Y S sides of one human activity, something analogous to the operation of Y the systolic and diastolic movements of the human heart. The one is the OGA centrifugal movement of consciousness expanding to Universals beyond OF PATANJALI the limits of Self; the other is the centripetal movement focusing with laser-like precision upon the particulars within the limits of Self. They S represent roughly the sub-principles of Buddhi and Manas acting within the incarnated Manasic principle; for the spiritual aspirant they should U – in time - become as natural as breathing in and breathing out. These tr two aspects of the inbreathing and outbreathing within the neophyte’s consciousness are dealt with in the three treatises of The Voice of the A Silence, as well as in Prof. Iyer’s seminal article, Meditation and Self-Study. S Alas, most of us find this existential balance to be elusive, as there are OF many obstacles to such a natural and easy relationship to meditation and self-study, obstacles that have been self-created and reinforced over many P lifetimes of misdirected thought and attempts to short-circuit what is unavoidable in the spiritual path: the careful and painstaking unwinding of A the coils of self-induced delusions. These obstacles are detailed in the Yoga T ANJAL Sutras with surprising brevity and familiarity, suggesting to the perceptive reader that the author had so thoroughly studied and mastered the subject that he is able to reduce the issues to their fewest essential elements.

  • Yogic Self-Awareness Assessment — Abhyasa Ashram
    Yogic Self-Awareness Assessment — Abhyasa Ashram Yogic Self-Awareness Assessment Following is a Self-Awareness Assessment outline. Our approach to teaching and training at Abhyasa Ashram is one of coaching in one-to-one or small group sessions (satsang). The purpose of coaching sessions on the Self-Assessment outline is to help you learn how to self assess. The Self-Assessment is truly intended to be an assessment by yourself of yourself. The coach is not here to analyze you or diagnose you like a typical medical or psychological assessment might be done. It is your personal exploration of your own current state of life and being. The coach has done this before and is here to facilitate your own introspection and observation. The items of self-awareness listed below are from the perspective of yoga as seen through the tradition. By increasing self-awareness one gradually comes to see that these are not who we really are, which leads to the realization of the witness of these, the true Self, Atman. What to look for in each area of self-assessment For each of the areas of self-assessment, have the following orientations of what to look for: • What am I doing well that I need to continue doing? • What am I doing that I need to do more of? • What am I doing that I need to reduce or stop doing entirely? • What am I not doing that I need to start doing? • In what way does this relate to my current situation? • How might I plan with this in relation to my future situation? Frequency of Self-Assessments • Initial Self-Assessment with coach • Ongoing Self-Assessment and training • Monthly scanning Self-Assessment • Quarterly complete Self-Assessment and needs analysis • Annual thorough Self-Assessment with coach Print out the Contents and Notes page to use for making current notes of your self- assessment.
