Yoga A complete science

The whole world is today realising that yoga is becoming important for every walk of life with every passing day. Yoga is benefiting people more than what is their expectation from it. 

It is a matter of great Pride for India that the word called yoga is one of the most popular word in the present world. It is the greatest scientific , authentic and universal invention of Indian sages. At present with great efforts of Swami Ramdev Ji Maharaj almost whole population of the world is becoming well acquainted with the words like yoga and related words like asana , Pranayam, Mudra, Dhyan and Samadhi. This is a matter of great pleasure. 

Introduction of yoga

Yoga is based on discipline. By the means of it a person gets restream over his mind and purity over his body for good health and he becomes friendly for the society and the nation. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, which means co-acceptance and living a Divine Life with unity is the main goal of yoga. Yoga is such a pure science by the means of which self consciousness of a man is aroused. His dormant power is awakened and he becomes a master of infinite powers. In short it can be said that yoga is a science which arouses self consciousness internal strength and self calibre. Yoga is the origin of all sorts of enlightenment. Poverty and escapism are not Dharma and spiritualism. 

Yoga is a profound and highly useful and practical subject and it is not meant only for sages and intellectual but for every individual like farmers, labourers, traders, professional, one who lives a family life , one who lives in forest , and students it is a blessing for everyone by sages.

Since long yoga is a perennial flow in various traditions yoga is a word that is used for both means and goal. All fits groups religious philosophy culture communities and traditions talk about absolute goal of human life. Shoes that absolute goal in the tradition of yoga is described as Yog. For attainment of yog various yoga traditions have presented some similar and some uneven methods and forms. Insects from among those parts 1 which are universal timeless and public ok they are called Yogang and not to others. Belief, cult, methods, dharma, philosophy, culture, community, traditions of other sections etc crime claim to give some specific benefits but since they are not comprehensive timeless and public that cannot be called Yogang. On one hand the Zenith of knowledge is called yoga on the other hand marching towards the Zenith it is also called yoga. For example Maharshi Patanjali has defined yoga as prevention of the tendencies of one’s inner self is called yoga and yoga indicates at the Shareef of wisdom and at the same time “Yamaniyamasanapranayamapratyahar dharanadhyanasamadhyoashtangavani” is the Sutra defines yoga how to to take someone to that to Zenith. 

This way following all the Yoganga are mainly followed by a devotee and in the journey of Samadhi it could become helpful therefore or they get the directions of sages, achary and saints. All the three bodies of Audi potty which is bulky minute and reason and their various constituents like panchakosha Annamayya Pranam Maiya Mano Maya Vigyan Maya Anand Maya, and Ashtachakra  like muladhar , Swanishthadhar, Manipur, anahat , vishuddha aagaya, Manas and Sastrar, various  naadis, like ingla pingala sushumna which are are 72 crore 72 lacs 10201 and inner self like mind wisdom conscience and arrogance etc in totality or partial is get affected. On the basis of this different parts of yoga are followed as means and goal for which what should be the purpose of the devotees? This has also been decided by the ancient acharyas however the attainment of all the parts of yoga the purpose is asama pragyat Samadhi however even then getting the partial benefits of yoga the moment he starts practicing it. 

For practice in the various stages of history various stages Yogi I have done research on it and compiled various scriptures and traditions are also there in which they are preserved and you targeted purpose is is available elsewhere and one can also adopt the methods to be evolved in future. 

For example the last purpose of asana is said to be- keeping the body stable at ease and making the body very strong and healthy. For accomplishment of the above-mentioned purposes body is kept in various types of postures which are said to be  84 lakh and by the means of exercises body is allowed to sweat so that toxicants could come out of the body. By the means of minute exercises activities each and every organ of the body can be made free from toxicants. This way by keeping the purpose of asana in mind and done in the various phases of history by the various stages and their innovative researches and ideas all the stable and mobile postures of the body and even all those which will be invented in future they will be practiced under Asanas. 

From official differences to Sanatana, Anadi and your tradition of yoga initially spread in the world in two streams called Brahmayog and karmayog. With passing of time various different type of yoga traditions got developed like ashtanga yoga , Saptang yoga, Shadangyoga, chaturang yoga, etc. Some yoga traditions became famous in the world on the basis of giving importance to some specific methods like Yog Karma, Bhakti Karma, Gyan yoga, Raj Yoga, Hatha yoga, etc. Other yoga traditions various ideas believes Dharma philosophies culture groups tradition etc got developed and they got recognised this way like Jainyoga, Buddhist yoga, shavit yoga, Nath yoga Siddha Yoga Sant yoga etc but the purpose of all these yoga methods is one which is helping a man to be stable. 

Yoga is such a a comprehensive beyond time and universal methods by the means of which every individual can have victory over all weaknesses of his life. That is why yoga is called science of total transformation. 

To attain victory over all weaknesses of life the method that we adopt is called yoga. Though there is a great variation in in the types of yoga however the most important one among them is Ashtangayoga. Ashtang yog of Maharshi Patanjali we find a description that how to to get rid of 34 weaknesses in eight organs and transform these weaknesses in into a strength so that the soul of a living being could be made pure, wise and free. In fact are you human in its stable form is called great human or human deity. 

All the eight organs of ashtanga yoga are mutually dependent upon each other. Yama is the first organ of ashtan and by having restrain over it we can get rid of 5 weakness like violence,  lack of truth, staya, lack of celebrity and parigraha and with the help of controlling second organ that is niyama we can attain victory over Ashauch, dissatisfaction, softness, lack of self study and atheism. Asan Pranayam pratyahar dharan meditation Samadhi provide stability to our body Panchamukha Pran , Panchupapran, and in time lack of control and lack of balance and instability of organs lack of control lack of restraint arrogance lack of enlightenment, all these things are destroyed.  this way by the means of yoga a person becomes free from all types of weaknesses and he really becomes self dependent full of self respect and full of complete solution. Yoga as a means body becomes pure conscience becomes pure after which spirit becomes pure, wise and free and it becomes stable in the form of The Final Destination. After this various types of beliefs groups Dharma philosophy culture communities and tradition etc. in them one attains the final goal of life which is Moksh , Nirman freedom salvation. This way yoga is fundamentally a means of attaining power. 

Yoga is beyond time comprehensive and public and a priceless Legacy of sages. The biggest skill in execution of work is yoga. By making this yoga as a part of life the traps of life fail to keep a man in its trap. Pure knowledge your action your celebration which means grammar yoga Karma Yoga Bhakti yoga are a triangle. This is such a philosophy of which stages does not only e invented strong aspects but also invented functional means of them and if they are adopted and applied a man can ensure his welfare on his own. 

One can have control and victory over all the problems of life and the world by the means of yoga. Yoga is the name of science oriented lifestyle in which a person’s is positively affected. This way a person becomes free from Aadhi vyadhi upadhi and can attend the stage of Samadhi. By doing yoga everyday elements like dpbass sorrow meanness stress depression lack of confidence attachment poverty vanishes. A nation where most of the people are like this has the equality E and attains progress and people become capable and prosperous. 

Yoga is given by Hiranya Garbha and it was attended by our sages after a lot of penance and presented to humans and common people it is a divine gift for all human beings which is scientific and practical and it has no no relation with a particular religion community faith believe cast etc but it is equally acceptable for everyone and equally profitable and beneficial for everyone. On one hand does enough of knowledge and enlightenment is yoga on the other hand rising to that label and penance behind it is also yoga. 

Yoga is not a ritual but it is a scientific and way of life in which a man can show a positive and qualitative changes. By the means of yoga a man can keep himself both physically and mentally healthy besides by doing finance with full dedication and following the path of enlightenment and celibacy his practice of yoga becomes stronger and this yoga becomes a means of attaining the almighty which is a source of absolute peace bliss and absolute solution. 

Human life is in itself are divine laboratory in which divine qualities are hidden and the method of its implementation is yoga. Yoga is a divine way of life by the means of which we can connect our self with the nature and the knowledge given by sages. It is a well researched and scientific system to get into to humanity and divinity by humans which is influenced by that strong and Mind set of Indian culture. 
whenever youmans wanted to win over the nature their dreams became shattered. From this point yoga appears and in other words we can say every man and women associated with yoga has a life which is your and it is free from diseases and agony and Association with it police of life in the garden of the nature which belongs to the almighty. Yoga is a natural method to fulfill the natural disasters of all humans and the purpose of light can never be successful without greeting with it and in the worldly activities one can get definite success capability and ID skill by following the path of yoga and if we say something in one word yoga is a complete spiritual Adhibhautik which means it takes to the Zenith of Nihshteys and Abhyudaya and provides eternal and infinite bliss to all human beings. 

This yoga is useful for all religions groups and communities and this provides not only physical but mental and character real balance and purity. In the world of medicines whether it is allopathic or belongs to other medicines there is no other medicine which can and had trade greed lust Envy anger and arrogance but if a person regularly does Pranayam meditation and other types of Yoga he will definitely e get rid of all the negativities . 

Yoga is safe and beneficial for everyone and if it is regularly practiced he will be free from corruption lack of peace and diseases for rest of his life apart from this he will develop habits like a good conduct peace healthy and a life based on strong emotions which will become a part of his nature. 

It is a matter of pleasant surprise that yoga does not teach anything new to all human being but everything that a man knows to do he will continue to do the same in a proper and skillful manner like getting up and down by the means of Asana and breathing properly by the means of Pranayam and thinking properly by the means of meditation etc.  by the means of yoga. Its last result comes in the form of growth in the capacity to do a work and good health and internally attainment of the absolute goal and attainment of absolute pleasure which live in its purest form. 

To be established in Yoga Aman has to to follow the rules of yoga in a comprehensive beyond the time and public manner. 

To be established in Yoga a man has to to follow the rules of it in all possible manner. They could be adopted in a possible manner for this there is a guidance to follow so many related rules in which there is one rule which is called Ahar related. In Yoga it is advised to take very low quantity of food and in scriptures it has been advised to take proper food and there is strict ban on taking improper food. The man who follows the path of yoga not only feels spiritual bliss but he also easily Gets All the material pleasure. 

The first independent scriptures of yoga is Yog Sutra. It has been written by Maharshi Patanjali which means he says the peace of mind with prevention of tendencies of conscience is called the state of yoga. According to the commentary written by Vyas ji on yogsutra there are five levels of yoga. Kshipta, moodh, vikshipta are the three Grounds of a normal human being and there are two other Grounds which are concentration and restrain which belong to sages. Of conscience there are five sentence is called proof Viparyay, alternative sleep and Smriti which flow in both sides called Klishta and Akllishta. Those who follow the path of yoga the attain the ground of yoga by allowing the tendency to flow towards Aklishta. 

Visible imagination and word are the three types of of evidences which means with the meaning of organs there happens is interaction aur having imagination of one thing on the ground of another thing or it is ascertained by the means of the knowledge attained from scriptures like Vedas and other scriptures composed by in sages and this is called evidence which is the tendency . False knowledge is called Viparyay which follows only those word which do not have any material existence this is called alternative tendency and feeling of scarcity is called the tendency and sleep of of conscience and the subjects which are realised should not be forgotten is called Smriti tendency and restrain over these five is called yoga. 

Yoga in its complete external practices gets realised for which five sense organs and five functional organs advocates mind wisdom and arrogance as a means for the success of internal behaviour and conduct. These means are called conscience and in Yoga Darshan all the four reasons which means mind wisdom tendency and arrogance are taken together for example Chittamantahkaransamanyam in this conscience there are various types of sketches. These sketches are related with worldly subjects which are called the tendencies of conscience and they are actually formed by a person according to his wish and he himself prevents it by using his own wish and efforts. By the means of external and internal means he prevents the external and transitive both kinds of thoughts then the situation which appears is called yoga. In the state of yoga the soul in its purest form in its most enlightened form and in its most blissful and peaceful forms and in it’s a completely basic solution it is present and founder and this is the fundamental nature and form of all the living beings and this personal form can be obtained by the means of practicing yoga- Karma Yoga, Gyan yoga, Bhakti yoga. Pure action pure knowledge and pure penance takes us to the simple state of yoga. For this penance and and service without greed are the main means. 

Yoga a spiritual penance

According to Maharishi Vyas  who has been the first and the most authentic commentator of yoga Sutra yoga is the state of Samadhi - Sampragyat and Asampragyat. Therefore yoga is of two types. One which is done in in concentration state is called Sampragyat and one which is done in the obstructed state is called Asampragyat. Bhoj Dev who has written Raj Martand vriti on Yog Sutra has said that Samparagyat is Samadhi proper information and enlightenment of regarding all types of doubts but at this state nature and the difference between men is felt and this way the double understanding is also maintained therefore this state is called unknown state in which one has differential understanding and double understanding and everything else is destroyed. He had the person who does meditation and his goal become United in three forms and this way all sorts of tendencies are obstructed. Full faith in uniformity is the The completeness of yoga. Vachaspathi Mishra who has written Vyas commentary on Tatva Vaisharadi has elaborated in great detail about yog lakshana of Patanjali in a more clear manner. With the prevention of the tendencies of feelings related to the obstructions means making them calm and composed in such a manner that when the air becomes still the water of water bodies like lakes become calm and composed and vice versa. Adhipathi prevents the tendencies of one’s feelings and practices it by the means of denying all Comforts of life. Bike offer of it all these tendencies are destroyed and then known yoga takes place. After this by the means of defame of wisdom when these sacred tendencies is give birth to this Sanskar which becomes Dagdhabeej and search in greed become destroyed and then tendencies also become dissolved in totality and this way by the means of living like a hermit one attains the complete yoga state. Hindi status a sage becomes completely sacred therefore yoga is defined as becoming stable in real form.

Samadhi is the last part of yoga. This is the ultimate condition of yoga. In the first part (samadhipad) of Yogasutra, Maharshi Patanjali has elaborately described it. Those whose soul is pure and peaceful due to hard tapasya and who has no longing for worldly subjects can attain the Samadhi. But everybody has no such criteria but wants to attain it. For them, second part of Yogasutra has described the ways to get it. Second part describes kriyayoga and yama, yoganga etc. As you can use ladder to reach the building, similarly the people having instable soul can’t attain the moksha. They can adopt kriyayoga, yama, niyam, etc to get it. The common people can also attain the ultimate goal by adopting them.

Yama niyam ranks first. It purifies character of the human being. When the people abide by it respectfully, they become pure by getting rid of all the evils. Their mind becomes pure and serene. In that condition, they start to concentrate. They are able to sit in aasana. Doing pranayam purifies soul. Rajoguna and tamoguna get eradicated. Their hatred, longing, etc start to disappear. Therefore, pranayam plays an important role in the soul purification. Now, it becomes easy to concentrate on the particular subject. Therefore, perception gets proved easily.

The journey of yoga starts from here. By practising perception, the people reach the state of meditation where there is ultimate concentration. When the meditation gets deepened, the people attain the ultimate goal. The mind’s samadhi is the real source of original knowledge. During which, the yogi acquire knowledge of nature, male and the God and become free from all the bondages. This is a great achievement of human life.

We can also understand the process to attain samadhi with through opposite direction. The moksha is the ultimate goal in the people’s life.  is the sources of moksha. The subject has raga which later turns bondage. If subject leaves raga, the bondage automatically gets disappeared. Therefore, detachment is considered as the main source of moksha. Knowledge is the very basis of detachment. If we knew that longing for subject gives pain, then we can free from it. It’s said that fire of grass and detachment of the fool have no life. Therefore, the ultimate knowledge is the very source of detachment.

Now, question arises that what’s the source of original knowledge? The reply is – Samadhi (ultimate concentration of mind). We get knowledge in the Samadhi. It’s a great knowledge gained through experience. It’s not possible without Samadhi. Now, question arises that what is source of Samadhi? The reply is—the absence of hatred and sorrow in the body and mind. It means that those whose body and mind are healthy and peaceful can get Samadhi. Now, another question arises that what is the source of this condition of body and mind? The reply is—affection. Another question is that what’s the source of affection? The reply is—peaceful and purity. Hatred and wrath are the obstacles of mind. Therefore, what’s the main source of mind’s purity? It means that having no longing for subjects is the source of purity. It means that those who have no attachment for subjects can become pure and peaceful. Those who abide by the yama-niyam, non-violence etc can become pure. This very pure mind is essential for samadhi. We see that if our mind is pure and body is healthy, we are happy.

It’s also said in the Srimadbhagwadgita. The people who have no hatred and wrath attain peace and purity of mind. The purity of mind brings happiness in the life. Purity is the cause, happiness is the result. We have already described that happiness brings Samadhi in the life. This very fact has been mentioned in the Srimadbhagwadgita—‘prasannachetaso hvashu buddhih paryavatishthate’ it means that the joyful people’s intellect is stable. When the intellect is stable, the mind gets concentrated. Then Samadhi starts to appear. Now, the people get original knowledge which is ultimate knowledge ‘samadhipragya’. Now all the bondages of raga get broken. When the detachment removes bondage of raga, then the people are free from pain. This is the ultimate goal of human being. This is called moksha. It becomes clear that factors like renunciation of subjects, abiding of yama-niyam, purification of character are the very basis of attaining Samadhi and moksha in the life. This is the very basis of yoga. Those who abide by aforesaid rules in their life can be peaceful and pure. They can be source of inspiration for entire society, nation and the world for getting peace. Pure character plays important role in getting moksha. It has been classified as three pillars –character, Samadhi and pragya.

Description of yoga in scriptures

According to Yogeshwar Srikrishna, yoga is the quality of the people who have no longing. When the hatred people get balance and peace in their life, it is called yoga. Generally, the mind is not in the proper state due to hatred and wrath. When the mind becomes pure, this condition is called yoga in Srimadbhagwadgita. It also describes other definition of yoga—‘tam vidyadu dukhasanyogaviyogam yogasangitama’ it means that yoga removes pain in the life.
Yoga has been described in the Srimadbhagwadgita—‘yogah karmasu kaushalam’ it means that yoga brings sharpness in the duties. Yogi people treat their duty towards family, society, nation and world as religion. This is their self religion yoga. This very yoga in the form of nation religion and world religion is the only way of human being’s welfare.

According to yogadarshan, assimilation of male and nation is the cause of pain. Lack of sanyog is called kaivalya (state of imancipation). Therefore, yoga is a tool to eradicate pain. When people are their proper state, it’s called yoga.

According to Maitrayanyupanishad, yoga is an state where mind, sense organs and vital energy are in synchronicity. According to Kathopnishad, when the five sense organs get adjusted in the mind and the soul and the intellect makes no effort. The very state is called ultimate movement. That static sense organ perception is called yoga. In that stage, the people are in restlessness and peace. Because, yoga brings good refinement and checks bad refinement. According to Mahopanishad, whatever efforts (physical and mental) are made to pacify mind are the inherent part of yoga. Kaivalyopnishad says that acquiring knowledge of soul through respect-bhakti-meditation is called yoga. Garbhopanishad says that practicing yoga is a unique way for emancipation of birth-death cycle. Yogashikhopanishad says that unification of self and vital energy, kundalini and body element, pingala and Chandra and God and soul is called yoga. Yogayagyavalkya describes that the knowledge of soul and the God is called yoga.

According to Vaisheshikadarshana, when mind gets settled in soul and starts work. It’s called yoga. For this, knowledge of six elements like liquid, virtue, duty, common, special and samavaya is known as yoga. According to Sankhyadarshana, setting in the form of soul by knowing division of nature-male is called yoga. Marashi Gautama’s Nyaysutra says that ‘dukhajanmapravrittidoshamithyagyananamuttarittra-paye tadanantarapayad aapavargah’ (Nyaysutra-1.2) it means that false knowledge creates wrath and hatred which ultimately turn into pain. To get relief from such pain is called moksha or emancipation and how to attain it is called yoga.
Following sutrokta shodasha materials are essential for emancipation from this false knowledge—‘evidence-prameya-misconception-objective-vision-theory-ingredient-logic-decision-ism-jalp-vitanda-hetvabhas-deciet-caste-homely life-knowledge of element-nihshreyasa-movement’ (Nyaysutra—1.1)

Buddhist yoga literature also depicts yoga and meditation. In the Buddhist yoga tradition, meditation process is called yoga. Therefore, the meaning of yoga in Buddhist is known as Samadhi. In the analysis of Yogasutra or bhashya Maharshi Vyas also terms yoga as Samadhi—‘yogah samadhih’. Famous scripture Visuddhimagga of Buddhist yoga written by Acharya Buddhghosh also defines character, Samadhi and knowledge. Knowledge under Buddhist yoga tradition and Vivekakhyati depicted in Yogasutra provide enough proofs. Therefore, yoga depicted in Buddha literature is interrelated with other traditions. Yogachar cult proposed by Acharya Vasubandhu is famous in Buddha cult.

It has been said in Agni-purana that yoga is a unique stage of mind. When the people are competent enough to witness themselves in  soul, then they are in synchronicity with brahma. This condition of unification is known as yoga.

In Skandapurana, the unification of the God and the soul has been called ultimate yoga. It means that it’s Samadhi which is yoga. Devibhagvatapurana and Kurmapurana also say that the door of unity between the animals and the God is called yoga.

Maharshi Chraka says that settling of mind in soul through division of mind from sense organs is called as yoga.

In the Gautamiya tantra, getting emancipation from worldly life is called yoga. Shardatilaka and Kularnavatantra, the unity of animal and the God is called yoga.

In Hathapradipika, meeting of soul and the God removes all the commitments and desires of human being. This very stage is called yoga or Samadhi.
According to Srigurugranthasahiba, performing duty with no desire is known as true religion. It’s called yoga. The original yoga is to link eternal and universal light with own light.

According to Jainacharya, whatever efforts provide ways for moksha and soul are called yoga. The entire religious efforts indicating towards moksha are called yoga. This definition is equivalent to yoga characteristics of Patanjali ‘yogashichattavrittinirodhah’. Scriptures like Yogabindu, Yogadrishtisamuchchya, Yogavinshika and Yogashataka written by Acharya Suri term yoga as the way to attain moksha. Acharya Hemachandra also equates yoga with moksha.

Radngeya Raghav written Gorakhnath and his era says that the meeting of Shiva and power is called yoga.

According to great yogi Maharshi Arvind, leading a diving life is called yoga. Worshiping the God is to understand purest form of the God and soul, treat nature as great creation of the God, express obligation, etc. We must live in this body, it’s called yoga.  

In the present era, world famous Yogarshi Swami Ramdev Jee Maharaj says that yoga is Samadhi. It’s a spiritual process of yoga self realization, self visualization, etc. Yoga is life realization, yoga is life management, yoga is self discipline. Yoga is not only physical exercise but also an entire life style. It’s spiritual way to purify soul. Yoga is life science. Yoga is the solution of all the problems of people, society, nation and the world. Exercise and service without desire are called yoga. performing duty, character and leading life as per inspiration of the God is called yoga.

Divine effort

It’s ultimate truth that Patanjali Yogapeeth is an authentic institution working for yoga at world level. It’s great place for yoga, ayurveda, indigenous culture, vedic truth, sanatan rishi-knowledge tradition, etc. The institution accepts eternal process of yoga, fundamental research in the field of yoga, etc. Therefore, Patanjali Yogapeeth has tried to present the esoteric form of yoga before the world. Our aim is to make the people aware of information regarding to yoga and present fundamental elements in yoga present in all the religions, philosophy, culture, cult and tradition before the society. So that yoga can unify the world consisting of various religion, philosophy, cult, tradition and culture. Every child can aware of thought of his/her ancestors and India regain the lost glory. Yoga may turn common people into the great ones through its century old process. Consequently, Indian may become spiritual superpower in the world once again.
