  • Dhyana in Hinduism

    Dhyana in Hinduism

    Dhyana in Hinduism Dhyana (IAST: Dhyāna) in Hinduism means contemplation and meditation.[1] Dhyana is taken up in Yoga exercises, and is a means to samadhi and self- knowledge.[2] The various concepts of dhyana and its practice originated in the Vedic era of Hinduism, and the practice has been influential within the diverse traditions of Hinduism.[3][4] It is, in Hinduism, a part of a self-directed awareness and unifying Yoga process by which the yogi realizes Self (Atman, soul), one's relationship with other living beings, and Ultimate Reality.[3][5][6] Dhyana is also found in other Indian religions such as Buddhism and Jainism. These developed along with dhyana in Hinduism, partly independently, partly influencing each other.[1] The term Dhyana appears in Aranyaka and Brahmana layers of the Vedas but with unclear meaning, while in the early Upanishads it appears in the sense of "contemplation, meditation" and an important part of self-knowledge process.[3][7] It is described in numerous Upanishads of Hinduism,[8] and in Patanjali's Yogasutras - a key text of the Yoga school of Hindu philosophy.[9][10] A statue of a meditating man (Jammu and Kashmir, India).

  • Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

    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.

    Effects of an 8-day advanced meditation, Samyama On physical, psychological and spiritual wellbeing, And associated neural mechanisms IRB #1801728792 Senthilkumar Sadhasivam, M.D., MPH Riley Hospital for Children, Indiana University School of Medicine Version Date 3.6.18 1.0 Background Neurotransmitters are the chemical (compounds) messengers produced by the body that regulate various activities in the brain and body. The human brain has its own neurotransmitter systems that play a crucial role in our cognitive and behavioral functions. Thus far, hundreds of neurotransmitters have been identified and more remain undiscovered. Among these, Anandamide (AEA) and Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are two neurotransmitters that are important in regulating mental mood and psychological wellbeing as well as physical health. Samyama is an intensive eight-day residential program with meditations that provide the experiential possibility to free oneself from and purify the body-mind to receive higher levels of energy. Samyama presents the potential for participants to reach heightened levels of consciousness and experience explosive states of meditativeness in the presence of a self-realized yogi. Samyama is a state where you reach heightened level of awareness. Many previous participants have reported feelings of bliss, intense joy, and oneness with others. In this program, participants would have gone through other forms of meditation training from the same school of yoga. They are required to prepare themselves for over sixty days prior to coming to the 8-day silence treat. Preparatory steps include dietary regulations such as (vegan diet, adding more greens to their food in a stepwise manner), postural (Hatha) yoga practices, and meditation practices.
  • Yoga As a Part of Sanātana Dharma

    Yoga As a Part of Sanātana Dharma

    Gejza M. Timčák Yoga as a Part of Sanātana Dharma The definition of religion is not easy as the views on this point Received December 12, 2018 are very different. The Indian Sanātana Dharma, the “Eternal Revised March 18, 2019 Accepted March 23, 2019 Order”, is how Indians call their system that has also a connotation that relates to what we call religion. What we understand as Yoga was defined by Patañjali, Svātmārāma, Gorakhnath, and other Yoga masters. Yoga is a part of Sanātana Dharma and is Key words Yoga, vedic religion, called Mukti Dharma, the “Dharma of Liberation”. Yoga as one Hinduism, Sanātana Dharma of the six orthodox philosophies is free from religious traits. The difference between the Indian and Western understanding of Sanātana Dharma is investigated from a practical point of view reflected in the literature and in a dialogue with Indian pandits. The reflection of the Western (namely Christian) understanding of Indian Sanātana Dharma and its effect on the way how Christians look at Yoga is also mentioned. 24 Spirituality Studies 5-1 Spring 2019 GEJzA M. TIMčáK 1 Introduction The topic of Yoga and its relation to religion are an issue that is a matter of discussion for some time. For some, religion and darshan, “philosophy”, are nearly synonyms, for some they are not. The concept of “Hindu religion” [1] – as will be shown later – is also a relatively vague concept, but this is how in the West and now also in the East, the Brahmanic tradition [2], plus the six philosophical darshans are often called.

Cultivating Stillness in Action, Siddhis & Miracles – iii iv – Samyama Introduction Samyama is a powerful yoga practice that has been shrouded in mystery for centuries. Yet, it is as close to us as our immediate hopes and dreams, for it is the principles of samyama that are behind the manifestation of everything in our life. Inner silence cultivated in deep meditation is the primary prerequisite for the conscious performance of samyama. With the right foundation in place, remarkable things can be achieved, including the rise of a constant flow of miracles in and around us. The essential principles and practices of samyama are covered here, simplified in a way that enables anyone to engage in daily practice leading to results. A primary sitting samyama practice routine is provided, along with an assortment of tools that enable the practitioner to expand the applications of samyama as desired. Everyone wants something, and the use of samyama offers the possibility for us to fulfill our deepest desires. But there is a catch. In order to fulfill our desires, we must systematically surrender them to our inner silence, to the divine within us.
  • Atma Samyama Yoga

    Atma Samyama Yoga

    CHA PTER SI X (A tma Samyama Y oga) - DHYANA YOGA Connection between Chapter Five and Chapter Six: The Chapter Five is actually pointing to the fact that to get liberation, through the practice of niskama karma, one's knowledge i ncreases to the point of the Supersoul. Knowledge is the thing that elevates one in consciousness. When one's knowledge comes to the point of view of understanding that he is not his body, then he can be detached. And that type of knowledge is born out of 'goodness'. But when one understands that he is not his body he can understand that if he takes in a 'step by step' way that is 'jnana-yoga', not necesseri l y 'bhakti - yoga'. What is that realization of 'jnana-yoga' that one is not his body? It is impersonal, it is understanding 'aham brahmasmi', that one is spirit not matter. If one is practicing 'jnana-yoga', he doesn't only think that 'I am spirit', he thinks that everything is spirit. And spirit is all-pervading - Brahman i s al l -pervading. Then, when his knowledge i ncreases, he understands: " Y es, spi r al l -pervading but how is it all-pervading? - It is all-pervading through the Supersoul. Then his knowledge goes from 'Brah to 'Paramatmeti ', he understands that the L ord i s al l -pervading through the Supersoul. Then his knowl edge i s more i ncreased. The tendency, if one is a Mayavadi or a Brahmavadi either, is to think that to identify the self (who he is) as Brahman, with the Supersoul as Brahman - and merge.
