  • Kriya-Yoga" in the Youpi-Sutra
    ON THE "KRIYA-YOGA" IN THE YOUPI-SUTRA By Shingen TAKAGI The Yogasutra (YS.) defines that yoga is suppression of the activity of mind in its beginning. The Yogabhasya (YBh.) by Vyasa, the oldest (1) commentary on this sutra says "yoga is concentration (samadhi)". Now- here in the sutra itself yoga is not used as a synonym of samadhi. On the other hand, Nyayasutra (NS.) 4, 2, 38 says of "the practice of a spe- cial kind of concentration" in connection with realizing the cognition of truth, and also NS. 4, 2, 42 says that the practice of yoga should be done in a quiet places such as forest, a natural cave, or river side. According NS. 4, 2, 46, the atman can be purified through abstention (yama), obser- vance (niyama), through yoga and the means of internal exercise. It can be surmised that the author of NS. also used the two terms samadhi and yoga as synonyms, since it speaks of a special kind of concentration on one hand, and practice of yoga on the other. In the Nyayabhasya (NBh. ed. NS. 4, 2, 46), the author says that the method of interior exercise should be understood by the Yogasastra, enumerating austerity (tapas), regulation of breath (pranayama), withdrawal of the senses (pratyahara), contem- plation (dhyana) and fixed-attention (dharana). He gives the practice of yoga (yogacara) as another method. It seems, through NS. 4, 2, 46 as mentioned above, that Vatsyayana regarded yama, niyama, tapas, prana- yama, pratyahara, dhyana, dharana and yogacara as the eight aids to the yoga.

  • Significance of Pratyahara in Management of Techno-Stress
    © 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) SIGNIFICANCE OF PRATYAHARA IN MANAGEMENT OF TECHNO-STRESS Deepshikha Thakur1, Dr. Subodh Sourabh Singh2, Dr. Mala Tripathi3 1PhD research Scholar, 2,3Assistance Professor 1 School of Yoga and Naturopathy (FMSLA) Shoolini University, India. Abstract: Today in the Modern era most people are becoming short-tempered, anxious, criminals, impulsive, sensory overloaded from media, sensory indulgence in a glamorous world, all because of technology. As technology is giving every asset for the comfort of the human being, due to which dependency on technology has increased and as byproduct stress is also increased. Man is loaded with stress and due to which he takes several strange reactions and also invites many diseases. Man is just chasing the money and for this purpose, he uses his all senses in outward direction but in this race, he forgets the real bliss that lies within. And this race of technology gives birth to anxiety, greed, sadness, depression, and many other physical as well as mental disorders. So, to prevent ourselves from all these problems the most effective solution is to practice Pratyahara or reversal of senses or mastery over unruly senses. We need to focus on ourselves; we need to be patient, stable, understanding, and full of real wisdom so that we can differentiate between right and wrong. We should use things only for need and do not get addicted to things. This could be possible only when we have our senses in our control, so Pratyahara (indriya pratyahara, karma pratyahara, mano pratyahara, and prana pratyahara) is best for control or withdrawal of senses.

  • Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
    Yoga Sutras of Patanjali The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are 196 Indian sutras (aphorisms). The Yoga Sutras were compiled around 400 CE by Sage Patanjali, taking materials about yoga from older traditions. Together with his commentary they form the Pātañjala yogaśāstra. This article will give a brief description about the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali within the context of the IAS Exam. Origin of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali The manuscripts of the Yoga Sutras are believed to be the work of Patanjali. But the identity of Patanjali has been a subject of academic debate as an author of the same name is credited to writing the classic text on Sanskrit grammar named Mahabhasya. Yet the two works are completely different from one another in terms of language, vocabulary and grammar. It is believed by scholars that Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are dated from 400 AD based on the history of the commentaries published in the first millennium AD and on the opinions of earlier Sanskrit Commentators. This dating for the Pātañjalayogaśāstra was proposed as early as 1914 has been accepted widely by academic scholars of the history of Indian philosophical thought. The Sutras fell into relative obscurity for nearly 700 years from the 12th to 192th century before coming to the fore in the late 19th century through the efforts of Swami Vivekananda and the Theosophical society among others. It gained prominence again as a comeback classic in the 20th century. Contents of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are divided into four chapters containing all 196 aphorisms.
