    JIWAJI TINIVERSITY GWALTOR (M.P.) SYLLABUS FOR Centre for Yogic Science MA Yoga CBCS (Choice Based Credit System) SESSION 2020 -2022 JIWAJI UNMRSITY, GWALIOR Centre for Yogic Science The Centre for Yogic Science, Jiwaji University, Gwalior came into existence in 2001 under self-financing scheme (SFS) to start various courses on Yoga education. Since then the centre is running post graduate diploma in yoga therapy (PGDYT). From the current session 2017-18, the centre has started MA course in Yoga (two years/four semester) and post graduate diploma in yoga (one yearltwo semester) under CBCS system. Yoga being a system to link the man with the master has been practiced in India from thousands of years to overcome physical, mental and emotional distress. Even then it has not been recognized as a regular system ofeducation in the Universities/ Institutions. In the changed scenario olthe world in health management, and the new initiatives taken by Prime Minister, Govt. of India for declaring International Yoga Day on 2l .t June, yoga has been observed plying a vital role in physical health and stress management. Therefore, an innovative programme in this re-emerging area has been thought of for all the universities/ Institutions and University Grant Commission in Master of Arts in Yoga to institutionalize and promote a proper healthy development ofthis ancient Indian wisdom as a tribute to our cultural ,heritage. This gives an opportunity to study the yogic activities in a scientific spirit. Very recently, UGC in its notification dated 27th September 2016 has declared syllabus ofyoga as a new Subject for National Eligibility Test (NET).

E-mail: [email protected] Sammendrag: Denne artikel vil beskrive påvirkningerne og konstruktionen af Kundalini Yoga som introduceret, undervist og udbredt i Vesten af Yogi Bhajan (1929-2004) ved at gå i dybden i den mistede historie af praksissens tidligste år, gennem tidligere ikke offentlige kilder, såsom dokumentation i tidlige tekster og interviews med tidligere studerende og medarbejdere. I modsætning til den officielle historie om Kundalini Yoga, der hævder at det en ældgammel og en hemmelig tradition forud for Yogi Bhajans åbne lære om det, argumenterer denne artikel, at det var en bricolage skabt af Yogi Bhajan selv og stammer fra to hovedfigurer: en Hatha- yoga lærer ved navn Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari (1924-1994) og sikh sant Maharaj Virsa Singh (1934-2007). Det er formålet med denne artikel at give klare beviser for, hvad Yogi Bhajans Kundalini Yoga er, og hvad den består af, at fremlægge den historiske og kulturelle kontekst, hvori den blev udviklet og præsenteret af Yogi Bhajan, og i sidste ende tilbyde mulige konklusioner, som kunne trækkes ud af denne reviderede forståelse.1 Nøgleord: Kundalini Yoga, Yogi Bhajan, 3HO, Sikhism, New Religious Movements.

ROAD, CALCUTTA Warning This book is not meant for decorating your bookshelf, but for circulation among others as fast as you can so that we can save our MOTHERINDIA REVISED EDITION REPRINTED IN 1987 DEDICATION [N MEMORY OF THE LATE PERIYAR E.V. RAMASAMI FOREWORD To write a foreword to “Oh”! You Hindu!! Awake!!!, I accepted this offer with shock and surprise. Remember this is not an ordinary book. My blood started boiling as I read it for the first time. Anybody reading this book with an unbiased mind will certainly agree with the facts and figures given in this booklet. Since I didn’t believe this book as it is at first. I asked for the video cassettes and books mentioned at the end. To my great surprise, as a Hindu, I don’t know what to write further. Whenever anything is written on Hinduism, it is hidden from the public because of the power and media they have. The ruling master race of India has done unbelievable damages to India, which no sincere Indian will ever condone. How they position the young Indian minds with hatred through their powerful media? Finally who gains at the end? The only master race. How they divide India? To name a few: RSS and its allies with full fledged military type of training to murder another Indian who is the real son of the soil! Untouchability, apartheid and caste system to divide India into pieces! As a result they are in power since independence! In literacy, wealth, political power, control of the media and more, they have proved they are the master race (Now we know why they have kicked out the British!) What have their books and religions taught us? How many Gods have we? Who are our Gods? Can you believe Ramayana & Mahabaratha? What are they telling about our Godly men viz.

Yoga is twinned with sāṃkhya as one of the six orthodox darshanas (worldviews) of Hindu philosophy, with Patañjali’s Yogaśāstra having been codified by around the fifth century of the Common Era. A distinct body of texts known as the haṭhayoga corpus appears around the 11th century and emphasizes physical practices most likely used by ascetic communities. The ultimate aim of yoga is described by various words (e.g., kaivalya, samādhi, mokṣa, etc.); it is often described as an experience of an individual soul’s uniting with the divine, and/or becoming liberated from the material world.

  • The Construction of Yogi Bhajan's Kundalini Yoga Philip Deslippe Originally Publis
    From Maharaj to Mahan Tantric: The Construction of Yogi Bhajan’s Kundalini Yoga Philip Deslippe Originally published in: Sikh Formations (Volume 08: Issue 03, December 2012, pages 369-387) as part of a special issue titled The 3HO Sikh Community. Available at: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17448727.2012.745303#.UfrTDW3N5Nd Author Contact: Philip Deslippe, Religious Studies Department, University of California Santa Barbara, 4001 HSSB, Santa Barbara, CA 93106-9670. Email: [email protected] Abstract: This article will detail the influences upon and construction of Kundalini Yoga as introduced, taught and propagated in the West by Yogi Bhajan (1929-2004), by delving into the lost history of the practice’s earliest years through previously neglected sources such as its documentation in rare early texts and interviews with early students and associates. As opposed to the official history of Kundalini Yoga that claims it as an ancient and secret tradition prior to Yogi Bhajan’s open teaching of it, this article argues that it was a bricolage created by Yogi Bhajan himself and derived from two main figures: a hatha yoga teacher named Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari (1924-1994) and the Sikh sant Maharaj Virsa Singh (1934-2007). It is the aim of this article to provide clear evidence as to what Yogi Bhajan’s Kundalini Yoga is and what it is comprised of, put forward the historical and cultural context in which it was developed and presented by Yogi Bhajan, and ultimately offer possible conclusions that could be drawn from this revised understanding.(1) Keywords: Kundalini Yoga, Yogi Bhajan, 3HO, Sikhism, New Religious Movements Introduction: On October 6th, 2004 the man born as Harbhajan Singh Puri and popularly known as Yogi Bhajan died of complications from heart failure at his home in Espanola, New Mexico.

  • Routledge Handbook of Contemporary India
    ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF CONTEMPORARY INDIA India is the second largest country in the world with regard to population, the world’s largest democracy and by far the largest country in South Asia, and one of the most diverse and pluralistic nations in the world in terms of official languages, cultures, religions and social identities. Indians have for centuries exchanged ideas with other cultures globally and some traditions have been transformed in those transnational and transcultural encounters and become successful innovations with an extraordinary global popularity. India is an emerging global power in terms of economy, but in spite of India’s impressive economic growth over the last decades, some of the most serious problems of Indian society such as poverty, repression of women, inequality both in terms of living conditions and of opportunities such as access to education, employment, and the economic resources of the state persist and do not seem to go away. Now available in paperback, this Handbook contains chapters by the field’s foremost scholars dealing with fundamental issues in India’s current cultural and social transformation and concentrates on India as it emerged after the economic reforms and the new economic policy of the 1980s and 1990s and as it develops in the twenty-first century. Following an introduction by the editor, the book is divided into five parts: • Part I: Foundation • Part II: India and the world • Part III: Society, class, caste and gender • Part IV: Religion and diversity • Part V: Cultural change and innovations. Exploring the cultural changes and innovations relating a number of contexts in contemporary India, this Handbook is essential reading for students and scholars interested in Indian and South Asian culture, politics and society.

The present paper is an effort to review the history of the revival of yoga during 20th century and tries to identify the persons, organisations, institutions, events, movements, research milestones and factors that resulted in the establishment of yoga as a science in 21st century. We researched the milestones and turning points related to scientific inquiries and researches on the varied aspects of yoga during its historic journey from being merely a ‘physical- spiritual discipline’ to assuming the full significance as the ‘Science of Consciousness’. In this paper we also analyse and discuss the factors that lead to the massive popularity and scientific aspects of yoga and its therapeutic benefits as a ‘mind-body’ medicine, intervention and alternative therapy in recent times. Key words: revival of yoga, yoga meditation, scientific aspects of yoga, consciousness Introduction Last century may be regarded as the century of the revival and scientific scrutiny of yoga that has resulted in the establishment of yoga as a science in this decade of 21st century. Result of that tendency are conferences and events that gather the greatest scientific world authorities who research effects of yoga practice interdisciplinary.

  • La Construction Du Kundalini Yoga De Yogi Bhajan Philippe Deslippe Université De Californie, S
    De Maharaj à Mahân Tantrique: La construction du Kundalini Yoga de Yogi Bhajan Philippe Deslippe Université de Californie, Santa Barbara [email protected] Publié à l'origine dans: Sikh Formations (Volume 08: Numéro 03, décembre 2012, pages 369-387) dans le cadre d'un numéro spécial intitulé The 3HO Sikh Community. Traduction: Sophie Marie L. Résumé: Cet article détaille les influences et la construction du Kundalini Yoga tel qu'introduit, enseigné et propagé en Occident par Yogi Bhajan (1929-2004), en plongeant dans l'histoire oubliée des premières années de la pratique à travers des sources jusque-là négligées telles que documentées dans de rares textes anciens et entretiens avec les premiers étudiants et associés. Contrairement à l'histoire officielle du Kundalini Yoga qui le revendique comme une tradition ancienne et secrète antérieure à l'enseignement ouvert de Yogi Bhajan, cet article soutient qu'il s'agissait d'un bricolage [en français dans le texte] créé par Yogi Bhajan lui-même et dérivé de deux personnages principaux: un professeur de hatha yoga nommé Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari (1924-1994) et le sant sikh Maharaj Virsa Singh (1934-2007). Le but de cet article est de fournir des preuves claires de ce qu'est le Kundalini Yoga de Yogi Bhajan et de ce qu'il comprend, de mettre en avant le contexte historique et culturel dans lequel il a été développé et présenté par Yogi Bhajan, et finalement d'offrir des conclusions possibles qui pourraient être tirées de cette interprétation révisée. (1) Mots-clés: Kundalini Yoga, Yogi Bhajan, 3HO, Sikhisme, Nouveaux Mouvements Religieux Introduction: Le 6 octobre 2004, l'homme né sous le nom de Harbhajan Singh Puri et populairement connu sous celui de Yogi Bhajan est décédé des suites d'une insuffisance cardiaque chez lui à Española au Nouveau Mexique.

  • DAL MAHARAJ AL MAHAN TANTRICO La Costruzione Del Kundalini Yoga Di Yogi Bhajan
    Sikh Formations, Vol. 8, No. 3, Dicembre 2012, pp. 369–387 Philip Deslippe DAL MAHARAJ AL MAHAN TANTRICO La costruzione del Kundalini Yoga di Yogi Bhajan Questo articolo descrive in dettaglio le in1luenze che stanno alla base della costruzione del Kundalini Yoga come introdotto, insegnato e promosso in Occidente da Yogi Bhajan (1929–2004), e lo fa scavando nella storia perduta dei primi anni della sua pratica, utilizzando fonti precedentemente trascurate, come la sua documentazione in testi rari e alcune interviste fatte ai primi studenti e associati. Al contrario della versione uf1iciale del Kundalini Yoga, che lo descrive come una tradizione antica e segreta prima che Yogi Bhajan iniziasse ad insegnarlo apertamente, questo articolo sostiene che si sia trattato di un collage creato da Yogi Bhajan stesso assemblando materiali derivati da due 1igure principali: un insegnante di hatha yoga chiamato Swami Dhirendra Brahmachari (1924–1994) e il sikh Sant Maharaj Virsa Singh (1934–2007). Lo scopo di questo articolo è fornire prove chiare in merito a cos'è e in che cosa consiste il Kundalini Yoga di Yogi Bhajan, deinendo il contesto storico e culturale in cui è stato da lui sviluppato e presentato, e in1ine offrire possibili conclusioni che potrebbero essere tratte da questa comprensione aggiornata. 1 Introduzione Il 6 ottobre 2004, l'uomo nato come Harbhajan SinGh Puri e popolarmente conosciuto come YoGi Bhajan è morto a causa di complicanze per insufNicienza cardiaca nella sua casa a Espanola, nel New Mexico.
