Yoga and Ayurveda Preface oga and Ayurveda are two closely related spiritual or Y sacred sciences rooted in the Vedic tradition of India. Ayurveda is the Vedic science of healing for both body and mind. Yoga is the Vedic science of Self-realization that de- pends upon a well-functioning body and mind. Both disciplines developed together and have always been used together. There- fore, those who are interested in one would benefit from study- ing the other. However, most books on yoga in the West speak little of Ayurveda. Though all ayurvedic books speak of yoga, so far there has been no single book on Ayurveda and yoga pub- lished in the West; hence the need of the present publication. Yoga and Ayurveda are far more than physical exercise or bodily healing systems such as we tend to view them today, however important these aspects may be. Both classical yoga and Ayurveda look to the whole human being, which is not only body, but mind and soul. Both address all our needs — from physical health and well-being to the unfoldment of our higher consciousness. Therefore, I have oriented this book to the broader view that could be called "integral yoga" and "inte- gral Ayurveda." This is traditionally called pancha kosha yoga and pancha kosha Ayurveda, meaning yoga and Ayurveda of the five sheaths, which refers to the physical body, prana, mind, intelligence, and soul as well as our higher Self. It is also de- fined as yoga and Ayurveda of the three bodies (physical, astral and causal) or body, mind and soul. Yoga and Ayurveda addresses our entire nature, our greater life as a. spiritual and cosmic being. It examines the broader scope of Ayurveda, which includes not only physical health but Narayana Verlag, 79400 Kandern, Tel.: 07626/ 974 970 0, Excerpts of : David Frawley, „Yoga & Ayurveda“ also mental health and preparation for the spiritual life. Simi- larly it looks into the entire field of yoga, the science of raja yoga and its eight limbs, from asana to meditation. While the present book does examine the subject of asana in one major chapter, a more thorough investigation of the topic is planned as a separate book on Ayurveda and asana. The book is meant for those who want to explore a- deeper level of knowledge than what is usually described in introduc- tory books on these subjects, which are commonly available. It discusses many details about the subtle and causal bodies and their energetics, including much information not previously in print in English. This includes topics such as the seven agnis, the three vital essences of prana, tejas and ojas, the nadis and chakras, as well as practical methods to unfold these energies. It puts much emphasis on the five pranas because prana (the life- force) is the main link between yoga and Ayurveda. The present book is designed to complement my last book in this field, Ayurveda and the Mind, which deals with the psy- chological aspects and the view of the mind in yoga and Ayurveda. Ayurveda and the Mind contains relevant information on mantra and other yogic practices that is not repeated in the present vol- ume and is helpful for those who want more information in these areas. Yoga and Ayurveda also interfaces with Tantric Yoga and the Wisdom Goddesses: Spiritual Secrets of Ayurveda, which provides additional information on the subtle body and deity worship. My other books on Ayurveda — Ayurvedic Healing and the Yoga of Herbs (with Dr. Vasant Lad) — deal more with the outer and physical aspects of Ayurveda but refer to yoga in places as well. Yoga and Ayurveda is divided into three sections: 1. The first section provides the background of Ayurveda and yoga along with their related cosmological principles and Narayana Verlag, 79400 Kandern, Tel.: 07626/ 974 970 0, Excerpts of : David Frawley, „Yoga & Ayurveda“ Yoga and Ayurveda world views, including an understanding of the doshas and gunas. 2. The second section examines the energetics of the two systems, emphasizing the subtle body and prana, including kundalini, the chakras and nadis. 3. The third section shows their common practices from diet and herbs to asana, pranayama, mantra and meditation, which enables us to apply the information given in the previous sections. Like my previous books, the present volume derives much from unpublished writings of Ganapati Muni, chief disciple of Ramana Maharshi, and a great yogi and Ayurvedic teacher as well. These works, passed on to me by Ganapati's disciple, K. Natesan, have proved invaluable in unfolding the yogic secrets of the Vedas. The book also relies significantly on the works of Swami Yogeshwarananda. Several chapters derive from articles originally published in the excellent yoga magazine Yoga International, including those on pratyahara, prana, tejas and ojas, and the chakras. I would like to thank the various people who have helped me with the book. Sandra Kozak was instrumental in the chapter on asana and is working with me further to develop an Ayurvedic understanding of asana practice that we hope to present in a future volume. Nicholai Bachman produced the charts and the Sanskrit pronunciation guide in the appendix. Gary Kraftsow and Margo Gal offered helpful suggestions relative to asana and pranayama, as did Amadea Morningstar relative to diet. Rudolph Ballantine provided a number of helpful suggestions about the style of the book. Lenny Blank's comments and' suggestions were also important. Narayana Verlag, 79400 Kandern, Tel.: 07626/ 974 970 0, Excerpts of : David Frawley, „Yoga & Ayurveda“ I would like to dedicate the book to my main teacher not only of Ayurveda but of dharma, Dr. B.

  • Letter to Biden Re 1971 Bengali Hindu Genocide 03.25.21
    March 25, 2021 President Joe Biden The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: We are writing to you today to draw your attention to one of the greatest humanitarian disasters and crimes against humanity of the 20th century: the Bengali Hindu Genocide. This year, on March 25, 2021, we will mark the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the genocide. On that night, the West Pakistan military launched ‘Operation Searchlight’ in the capital city Dhaka, unleashing a campaign of targeted killings and massacres against the Bengali Hindu population, leaving thousands dead overnight. In the ensuing months, historians estimate that 2-3 million people, primarily Bengali Hindus but also Bengali Muslim intellectuals and secular nationalists, were killed. About 200,000-400,000 women were raped and over 10 million people were displaced throughout the region, mostly in neighboring India. At the time, the U.S. and the world were aware of the atrocities being carried out. In a telegram titled “Selective Genocide” to the U.S. State Department, American Consul General Archer K. Blood wrote “Here in Dacca we are mute and horrified witnesses to a reign of terror by the Pak military. Moreover, with support of Pak military, non-Bengali Muslims are systematically attacking poor people’s quarters and murdering Bengalis and Hindus. Full horror of Pak military atrocities will come to light sooner or later.”1 After fifty years, the time has come to affirm this horrific event which remains one of the greatest unrecognized crimes against humanity of the 20th century. Therefore, we urge you to issue a public statement commemorating March 25th as Bengali Hindu Genocide Remembrance Day.

  • Yoga - Discover Yourself
    YOGA - DISCOVER YOURSELF While shooting his film, Yoga for Health & Global Harmony, filmmaker, art historian and photographer Benoy K Behl realised that yoga helps us find ourselves Yoga takes away each perception of the ever-changing material world while helping us find peace and bliss deep within us. Across the world, the concepts of Indian philosophy are being accepted by people, through yoga. It is the path towards knowledge, which begins with the physical dimension. A lot of people in different countries have found it easier to go back to the Indian roots, through yoga. It is like a wedge which introduces deep knowledge beginning with the physical dimensions of asanas. We gain control over our body, breath, emotions and mind to gradually awaken our knowledge of unity (the meaning of yoga is to unify). There are four paths of yoga: karma yoga, the path of selfless actions in the world; bhakti yoga, the path of losing one’s ego by surrendering and devoting oneself; raja yoga, the path of pranayama and the asanas, leading to meditation; and gnana yoga, the path to salvation through knowledge. Tulku Sherdor, New York, Director, Blazing Wisdom Institute says in an interview: “Whether you are a Tibetan or an Indian or an American or from some other place, everyone’s mind functions in a similar manner. We all seek happiness and avoid suffering, this is universal. Therefore, anything which is universal discovers the actual, reliable, scientifically-verifiable sources of happiness and suffering. This is where Buddha and other saints proved themselves to be great scientists as they understood the universal feelings in such a way that they transmitted and shared their knowledge with others so that everyone realised the same things.
