This forms the first part of the schematic
derivation of the Yoganusaassanam. Contents published earlier in the series “Doctrine of Yoga” have been incorporated in this series.
Introductory
Note:
It is pertinent to have
an idea on the period of origin, features, classification, meaning,
applications and the values of an undated scripture. Calendar followed by
various races world over were either lost or became void with the western
calendar systems. It is often difficult
to calculate the exact period of origin of
streams of knowledge, as identical recurrences in constellations and
cycles have occurred many a times in the past.
Here, only way to understand the period of origin of stream of knowledge
is through language format and the schemes with which they were originally
structured. The same applies to the stream of YoGa.
Why was the system of
YoGa developed?
We have four well
defined periods or YuGa of transitions in the Universal Drift with respect to
the planetary systems. The First
period or Yuga is noted with the Social
organization Prakrit and Krita ( Archaic Period where Public welfare and
Management systems were created). The
second Yuga Treta or ( Truncation of Public administration in three defined branches – Home Affairs or Internal
Defense, External Defence, and Public Administration, The Third Period begins with Governance and
sets in permanent agriculture with the development of irrigation canals and
Public works . The period came to be called
Dwapara YuGa (age of Dualities) where excessive production and wealth of
nations proved to be disastrous and the age is claimed to Dwapara YuGa ends
with a massive war. The fourth age begins with the dark period of history of transitions to revive the human race Period of Budding or Kali YuGa.
Indigenous system of
Knowledge the Vedas remained as the cardinal foundation for sociopolitical
transformations and revival of the human race that led to the process of
humanization and permanent settlements
termed as Purohitam
The streams of
knowledge systems created by the schools of Brahmarishis (Progenitors of the
Vedic system were considered as those of the Highest order of the Munis and
Sages revered as Brahma rishis) have inlaid schemes and systems to transcribe
and translate those works. Such works categorized as the “Sruti” (the Audible)
had its complementary subsystems stylized for rendering collectively called as
the ‘Vang”. The meters and scales used
were with specific values and the same notations will have as many meanings and
implications inlaid through such permutation combinations. The same implies for “Yoganusaassanam” or
Yoga Sutra believed to be created by Padthhanjali Schools.
The question here is
why was YoGa created?
YoGa stream was
developed to answer the need of a knowledge system on the astrophysical impact
on human beings. The changes in the Universal Drift and drift in the orbital
patterns of the solar system have its bearing on the life and human behavioral response
or stimulations. The changes in the wave dynamics and interstellar forces and
gravitational changes would lead to neural and physiological aberrations. With
the changes in the Astrophysical parameters, as with other animals, human
structure and organ functions undergo systemic changes. It required a
scientific analysis and methodology to sustain the equilibrium and to keep
alive the normal functioning. That which eliminates the deleterious impact of
the chronological progression of time- the YuGa, can be termed as the
YoGa. YoGa constitutes the faculties of knowledge
dealing with the process to create self-sustainable independent
physio-anatomical human systems. .
When we take up YoGa as
a stream of independent knowledge system, it is essential to understand its
scheme and structure of the communication system incorporated. While explaining such a stream, it is a trend
to be annotated or illustrated with the precedent or the contemporary knowledge
streams at a given point of time. Utility and objectivity of learning a subject
can only be derived by confining to the same, rather than getting into
comparisons, contrasts and correlation with other works and disciplines. The
Yoganusaassanam is complete within itself and it is not necessary to rely on
any other streams to illustrate or explain the applications. There can be
instances that can substantiate the application in later periods. But that
cannot be construed to limit the scope and understanding on Yoganusaassanam.
Every school of the
Indian Subcontinent incorporated Yoga into their streams, including Bhakti to
Vedanta. In the process, Yoga itself became interpreted in a multitude of
ways. However, in later periods, none of
these schools could reinvent the schemes of Yoganusaassanam what is today
called as the Padthhanjali Yoga Sutra.
Discipline of YoGa, the Yoganusaassanam was developed during the period
of Brahma rishi Atri. School of Atri was one of the pioneering institutions
that worked on the functions of life processes and factors that determine the
healthy living that later on became a part of Ayurveda. Padthhanjali system of YoGa truncated from
the Atri School and became an independent school in the later periods.
The Schools of
Padthanjali created systematized scientific practices of the Yogic stream of
Health Care and Life Management, A precursor understanding that was
prerequisite to be an Ayurveda Practitioner.
Ayurveda is a
noninvasive system of ethno medicine inherited by various lineages across the
length and breadth of the subcontinent, which eventually became disorganized
during the period of invasions and subjugations.
The system of YoGa is
an “Anusaassanam” in the complex form that is an “Understanding” developed
through systematic processes of learning.
Learning is treated as a gradational linear process leading to the
creation of a complex state of Understanding.
Learning
and Understanding:
1. Learning
ensures the fitness for a predetermined track and track, whereas, understanding
makes one apply the rationale of learning into test and resolve matters.
2. Learning
is a linear progression under specific conditions. Understanding is a series of
independent spikes under varying time scales along a multitude of planes under
static and shifting paradigms.
3. Learning
is a resolve between “Yes” or “No” with eliminating the probable. Learning
leads to functioning with dependency, relying on inputs from various sources,
whereas, understanding is the capability to assimilate pieces of information,
simultaneously order them in a proper way, and reposition them and to function
independently.
4. Learning
culminates into success or Failure. Understanding is smooth sail irrespective
of currents and tides and is all about achievements.
5. .
Learning leads to assessment as the end result-. Understanding is continuous
and gathers momentum.
6. Learning
is leaning, i.e., dependency, is participatory. Leaning is utilization of
space, leaning is attachment.
Understanding is self-sustainability.
7. Learning is filling the available space,
Learning is regulatory, creating ego to the end, Learning is limited temporal
operation, and understanding is opening up and creating of space.
8. Learning
is all about what others have learnt, understanding is realization of what is
not learnt through learning.
9. Learning
is the apt fitness with respect to an existing or near future demand.
Understanding is about molding the demands and creates the need of futuristic
learning.
10.
Learning is an uphill task,
Understanding is the driving force.
11.
Learning is about what in sight, and
perceived, whereas Understanding leads to vision.
The process of creating
Understanding is YoGa, the difference is
drawn between the cranial function of “Chithha”
the conditioned system of learning and that “Mana” the systematized
Understanding that will serve as a template system. The templates can be
transcribed and translated into information modules to realize the multitude of
dimensions incorporated with inlaid
specific schemes constitutes basis of Sruti format.
Sruti or the Audible
Component becomes pertinent as each sound is a complex system resolved along
the dimensions it accrues in contrast to alphabets and script formats. This
intricacy produces a scheme of rendition with a visual component of gestures,
timing and positioning that gives it a numerical value. Therefore terminologies encoded in the Sruti
are fundamental theories of the discipline. It is here that the principles or
Tat- Va, is construed. Ta- aT – Va- is a function of time or a temporal operation with respect to the numerical value, thus
affixing a definite structure and configuration. This the basic tool with which
a specific subject or a discipline can be understood. Aggregate of
understanding is Knowledge. Aggregate of Knowledge is wisdom and Aggregate of
wisdom is the Trait and Aggregate of Trait is inheritance, the Samskara. Samskara denotes the acquired characteristics
that are encoded into the genetic system of each generation that are inherited
as the cumulative unit in succession. YoGa, is the process of creating
cumulative characteristics of desired nature that are acquired and
inherited.
Understanding is
absorbance , when systematized within oneself is Knowledge and understanding on Knowledge is Wisdom. Understanding and Knowledge is inward process while Wisdom
is an expression that reflects outwards.
“OM ITI’ ET’TAD
AKSHARAM SARVAM”
This was a declaration,
hereon, everything shall be based on
Aksharam- letters or alphabets. This marks the transition from Dhwani of Vang format of Sruti to the age of Linear representations or Rekhankitam Scriptures. Did standardization of Sounds to representative
lines had universal acceptance by the ruling classes? or was it a mutual
understanding reached between the Sages of the time? The standard format would
have been Rekhankitam, or linear representation, the mother of all scripts
Diversification of knowledge begins with the declaration of
script form, marks the beginning of learning. Learning is the art of
interpretation, analysis, annotations transforming the brain into bulk of
thesaurus and dictionary on the understandings. Understanding is in abstract
form, an array of thought processes expressed through abstract form, in graphic
scheme of S’ruti’. S’ruti’ is a single sound or Dhwani. Dha’ is the wisdom a
cumulative expression of Intellect and knowledge-the understanding. Categorization of ‘Sruti’ the “audible” and -Smriti or
“Memorable” became distinctive with the
mandatory tenet that here on everything has to be expressed through ‘letters”.
Whether it is Sruti or Smriti, both are is derived from
“r’ta” or periodic function that is truthful. The first ever definition of
Truth as “R’tam Cha Satyam” finds its expression in the later period. “R’ta” is
periodic process, All periodic functions create sequences or wave forms, with self-organized
periodicity. Here the scheme of
Sruti is well illustrated.
Vedic streams originated at a period when none of today’s
languages had crystallized. Arrays of understandings were expressed through a “
formative sound” which was complete within itself. Its explanation came through
the dimensions in which such sounds were expressed. The units of such
expressions in definitive formations came to be called as “R’twick. R’twicks designated in specific Graphic formations, render along
their assigned time scale with notations, minute nuances variations in nuances
with takeoff and landing scales.. Such Process of “r’ta’ in a
systematic wave form was set as “S r’Ti” – the “Sruti”.
When these became
written, such “R’ta” became complicated to represent. Brahmi, Nagari and Devanagari fell within the
limited scope of letters and phonetics. Plain and linear structure of the
languages and scales could not be ample enough to represent the dimensions of
the Vedic scheme.
Vyasa schools also
faced this intricateness and seemingly had to incorporate illustration along
with, thus Sanskritizing the Vedic Sruti. The original schemes of Sruti lie
scattered in the written form.
Todays “R’G” or “R’K” Veda is Vyasa
Veda. The same format of R’G can be seen
in its extension of or Agama of YoGa
System.
YoGa
-The principles:
(a)
Dynamics.
Most often, all Indian
philosophies deal with detachment and liberation. Yet, these do not address
complete detachment or liberation from physical existence and normal functions
that explicit for survival. Celibacy and
abstinence of monastic ways expound new phases of life with a new name, outlook
and perception, which are meant to
deprive oneself of material
world. Monasticism itself is a nascent materialistic world of its own kind.
Liberation is binding to anything, which may not be a part of normal course of
life. So, are the stages of life in the normal course which is also called Ashram
or monasticism Celibacy is often misconstrued with Brahma Charya, the first
Ashramic or monastic state. Second is Grihastha, it also counted as family way
of life raising progeny and establishing oneself anchored to family, third is
Vanaprastha, the time for touring around and last is Sanyas or denouncing
worldly life. The last part of normal
life, if taken up during the adolescent age of Brahmacharya is also Sanyas,
confining to a monastic life. Monasticism is a new world order, so is the
compartmentalization of the life into four stages or Ashrama dharmas which
serves as a devising to create a new order in life. Many of the Brahminical
sect had the eldest member leading a
life in denouncement, committed to the traditions and practices, imparting the knowledge to
the successive generations,. These
ideals that took later entry had made adaptations and modifications in every
stream and innovated indigenization.
The basic schools were
destroyed and such outsmarting intelligentsia enjoyed the patronage of ruling
class and became privileged classes. The centralized schemes underlying the
knowledge systems began to rout with this age of commentators with annotative skills. Soon, the epics and
the treatises became blended and merged paving way for religious
interpretations with the decline of empires and kingdoms followed by invasions
and dominance of external religions.
It is with this
background that YoGa is also illustrated for centuries and reached the stage
where it is today. Only way to unravel
the scientific base and operationalization
of YoGa is possible through working out the schematic pattern of its
progenitor. It is quite possible that, like any other works of the period,
treatise of YoGa too has been inserted with the imprints and insertions of
various other schools or lineages and is in the corrupt form, it will be a tough task to derive the
original format from the available
materials in the script form.
All Sruti formats do
not have any introduction or prayers or invocation to any Gods or deities and
directly deals with the subject. They do not have the stamp of the prefix “OM”,
to say it is a pre epic creation. Therefore, explanations are not be founded on
any religious context, it is purely a societal proprietary and so is YoGa.
Yo is the measure of
distance and Ga is the movement. YoGa is the Technology of Dynamics.
The devising of a synchronized state of dynamics of Universe, environment
and the human beings set in specific
time scale of its own is what make YoGa an independent discipline. It
incorporates an analytical approach into the functions of the planetary systems
and the position of the earth and the motion of the solar system. It is here that YoGa introduces
the wave form mechanics of positioning of the entire universe, orbits and the universal drift. The YoGa is the threshold level of net qualitative
and quantitative efficiency of human beings to exist as an independent functional
system in the earth. Such an independent system is free from the effect of
fields, waves and motions of the earth, free from circadian rhythm of the
planet.
YoGa was developed during the Prakrita or
Proterozoic period, as the period of
origin is between the period of galactic period of Aschita, the formation of 12
suns, or galactic systems central to the solar systems and Ita’ra’tra- to the onset of dark age setting in the first
Glaciation. This accounts for the deviation in the orbital cycle and the
rotations the solar system had a period of
irregular motion.
YoGa Anusassanam,
expounds “Axial Theory”. Process of life
with the geo-position in relation to
the stellar bodies including the planetary systems. Axial theory gave
rise to the “Wave Dynamics”. Wave
dynamics relies on the waves of forces that hold the bodies in position, that
accounts for three distinctive motions-
(i) Universal drift, (ii) periodic motions that are orbital around the sun and
the spin motions and (iii)The drift within the solar system. Third drift confines to satellites and the planets
moving away from each other and tend to deflect from the regular orbital
pattern. The impact of these transitions in nature and living
systems is the basic concept that is indoctrinated as YoGa. It draws an
interrelationship between the temporal operations of life and that of the planetary systems. Life is treated as a
linear system drawn along a time scale,
with the ascending scale of growth reaching a peak point from where it descends
to a critical point to termination.
Therefore, YoGa is to
be understood and illustrated in accordance with the inlaid process of regulation and dynamics of life
to extrapolate its procedures of
Clinical Management.
The methodology to
understand YoGa Anusaassanam of Padthhanjali Maharishi is incorporated the scheme
to decode the name of the
author “ Padthhanjali”. The same scheme
would be the tool to decipher the scientific basis of the Yoganusaassanam.
YoGa itself is an “Anu –Saasa- Anam”.
Sa
+ asa is breathe. Anu
is that which follows, and Anam is
the dynamics or movement. YoGa is the dynamics associated with every breath.
The body is conceived as a
system that is “continuously programmed”
with every breathe. Every instance of this programming is a ‘state’ or
“condition” that is called as “aasanam’.
It can be derived from:
SaaSa
– Anam.
Saasa
is governing or controlling –
Sana
–
is period, or time , age ,chronological progression of age.
Anam is management
Therefore, Saasa or breathing is the governing factor of the chronological progression of age
and Sasanam is the Management of the Respiratory Functions. It is drawn from the
fact that the Oxygenation of the blood and cardiac functioning is interrelated
that determines the regulated flow of blood to the brain and other organ systems. Breathing and thought
process is also interrelated. Anxiety,
worry and other states of neural conditions have influence in the breathing and
cardiovascular functions. Therefore, the first process is the “Asanam “ or management of the respiratory function.
“Anu”
is the value with which a function is measured in terms of its period. Here “ Ga”, “Anu”,
is the motion or movement defined in
terms of time. “Dha” denotes the
cranial functions including the faculties
or intellect, as a constant value. Dha
is imperative to. the faculties on a scale from “Aa” or “Zero” to a threshold level, numerically measured
as “Yo”,
The
state of “Dha” or intellectual faculties of who are into the stream of “YoGa”
is well defined. This serves as the guideline for the School and the criteria
that is required to understand the discipline.
“Dtha” is intellect of
Understanding, knowledge, wisdom and
that is Budhi that includes Visualization or vision. Here ‘Dtha’
is central between a common ascending and descending note that is “Aa”, therefore, Adtha, is the deciphering code for the scheme to understand Yoga
sutra in its inherent graphic pattern, laid in tiers to draw the derivations..
Thereby, Aasanam incorporates all the principles that govern
and control continuous transitions of the body. Thus, the process of
maintaining the physiological and anatomical structure and functioning of the
with respect to Astrophysical dynamics in a specific order is collectively
termed as”YoGa”.
“Sana”
is lasting long or endurance, Aasana is therefore the procedure to
enhance the longevity in a specific state. ”
Therefore, YoGa Anusaas’ana is the management of the principles governing and controlling the entire
systemic function of the body as an entity of the entire cosmos. This will
lead to an understanding to align the life to a particular state that is Yogic to
eliminate the impact of chronological progression by inducing a time scale
independent of the universe or the solar system.
Aas’an,:
A’sa also means blood, “ Aasa mouth, jaws. It clearly draws
the interrelationship between the jaws- mouth and blood. It is to say, dietary
is predetermined by the nature of the jaws and denture, and mouth decides the
quality of blood. Maintaining the
diet is
to be understood in terms of anatomical structure or the phenotype.
Therefore, breathe and
food are two inputs of managing the life and longevity.
And so, “Adtha
YoGa Anu Saassanam”
It is pertinent to understand the scheme
with which a systematic stream is rendered. It is evident from the Scheme of
R’G Veda that Vyasa Maharishi had incorporated with Gayatri and Madhuchhanda in
the Agneyam. Therefore, to decode the Sage
of Yoganusaassanam, is the methodology to decode and understand the basic
knowledge system of “The YoGa”, than creating hypothetical annotations and
commentaries.
Dhta
in Adhta when rendered in Sruti , has Dha
– as its component- Dhta with Y’a or YoGa. Produces “Dhtaya”-
‘Dhtaya’ implies that the same verse or
the verses have more than one derivations on rendering, which is a Yantra or Graphic representation with all its dimensions. This
can be realized by spacing and setting the timing of rendition along scale of
sounds, and hence is in the Graphic format, that further as:-
"अथ योगानुशासनम्"| ( Adtha
YoGaanusaasanam) is an Octamere , of
eight Sounds in a single formation. It
depends on the takeoff and landing notes
and the number of persons involved in
rendering together with the nuances applied that produces the graphic format .
Octameric sequences of sounds, stands as one of the greatest
innovations- the reason behind the continuity of the Indian knowledge systems
and the contiguity with nature.
Octamere in permutation combination
based on principles of ‘Tat” or Tatva (the principle). If any knowledge system
is to be inehrited it has to be acquired by the genetic system. The genetic
system is triplet based in function, gave rise to the concept of Trike and the whole system is enveloped by a sheath
of octamere as that of the genetic system in the natural state. The structuring of the Sruti as format is
thus in palindromic symmetry with the human
genetic system as a cosmic thread.
The vibrations so produced are harmonic and in
synchronization with octameric sheath of the genetic system, to unwind and
initiate a temporal operation. Brahmarishis had a clear insight into core of
the living system.
Therefore, to understand the format of YoGa and to transcribe
the encoded scheme in Sruti format, the first step is to decode the name of the Sage central to the
School from which it evolved. Here, it is believed to be Padthhanjali
Maharishi, but nowhere his name has been deciphered. Like the Sruti format that
of Vedas, from which YoGanusaasanam
has been derived, there is no indication of the scheme laid in the work.
This has to be derived
from the first key sound of“ Adtha”
It
cannot be simply assumed or interpreted
that The Yoga Sootra beginning with “ Adtha” is meant to be “now
or therefore, the Graphic format of rendering
in r’ta format delivers it in the R’tm
(s’ms’kr’tm)

in the confluence (samyogam) of sounds atuned in the form of a musical note in
the Sruti format.

Gato dha Ayadtha-
Ga' ( movement) , Gat'- incorporate, follows (Anu Gat) Dha (senses, Intelligence) Aya (value of four).
Adtha: (ad' tha) Consumption.
Four directions are
incorporated leading to the development of intelligence and senses for the
"Consumption". Knowledge through activation of senses and
intelligence moves in a direction and
acquires four values- अनुगत
(Anu Gat'). The four values
are:
(1)
Development of extraneous senses and
intelligence (Jjaana )
(2)
Development of speech and acts (Nada- Dhwani-
Sabda-)
(3)
Realization
of the powers of organs and Organ Systems( Anga-Upanga)
(4)
State of cosmic existence. (Brahmatva)
Anugat is the processes that are consecutive to one another in a
sequential order to develop the Knowledge to delink from geo-physical
attributes and to attain Cosmic existence.
(c)Manasa Sa Aasana:
“Sana”
is lasting long, Aasana is therefore the
procedure to enhance the longevity in a specific state. Aasana or Posture is a formation of the body
along with the mind. Mind (Manah’)
is a quantified term proportionate in size and form having identical
structure. Inner body is the mind and
outer body is the physical structure.
Realization of separate existence of the two forms inwardly and
outwardly and keeping a balance in maintaining them without drift in positions
is Aasana. The anatomical structure and physiological
functioning of the “Mind” is detailed in
the YoGa anusaasssana
(d)Tat’ Dhim YoGa: Principles of
knowledge systems is YoGa.
Dhi- is cranial power or intellect.
Tat- is the principles of the intellectual faculties of the YoGa. The nervous
system is attenuated to a coordinated functioning though a set of principles to
create a self-defined and controlled state of functioning is YoGa. YoGa is set as a time based function, delinks
one from the impact of Circadian rhythm and the effect of motion of the
planetary system.

- Na Ir- O-Dha
Chitta
Vritti- Continuous Course of thoughts, State of Mind,
emotions, discursive thoughts, disposition of Soul Niirodha- Suppression or Annihilation of Pain,
Nirodha –

Rita

Ritim
NiVritti Chitaa
Chit
Tava Riti Nir Odha
Cha-ita
– Cheta is nerve cells
Cha
–ta- Vritta- Information or stimulus fed to neural system
It is from here that the nomenclature
for nervous system takes its origin in the Indian systems. Chitta is a composite term to incorporate spinal or
sympathetic nervous system and central nervous system. A clear distinction is drawn between Mind and
the Nervous system. The central scheme of Graphic formations was therefore
visualized with the nuclear structure of the Nerve. Cha-
ita is a function that is based on the external stimuli in reciprocation.
Memory is a function of Chitta or brain, the expression of which is Dhi.
Cha-ita-Vritta iti – is the composite structure of the nervous system
that functions in response to the inputs. So the Vriitaa or the subject or the
thematic content of input is that decides the
development and function. It explains the process of learning that is
conditioning of the brain.
Chaita vritti involves voluntary
functions of the body and therefore,
“Ita Vritta nir Odha”:
Nir- is indicative of the Volume or the
value that can be held in the Odha- the Reservoir. The holding capacity of the nervous system is
the “ita” the memory power, that is Viritta,
to be cyclic. Virtta is an enclosed
structure with a defined space with no
corners or angles. The memory power is to be considered as :
“Rita eva Chitta”
“Ru”- “ita”- is the law of the sequential order of
memory based on inputs or learning.
The process of learning is conditioning
of the entire nervous system through a
systematic cyclic process. Learning is in units and is in the pattern of
complete circles.
Learning is a linear process with time.
Subjects learned in a definitive period is a ‘Ruta’. Here one course or Rita is
equal to the quantum of learning. This
process involves time lags and gaps, with a definitive beginning and
end. That is the thematic learning,
which is complete within itself. It is
not essential that whatever is learnt is completely retained or stored in the
nerves. Linear pattern of learning can include several subjects one after the other, each subject indicates a
“Ruta’ or periods.
The principle of learning here is the
activation of the nervous system, in which the whole body system is involved,
is not confined to or limited to listening to or seeing. Learning is interlinked with body
organs and its movements, positioning and in transition. All the senses are equally involved. This is why learning is
an Yajjna or Systematic process to be encoded in the nervous system as unit.
Such units configure the understanding, the process called Chitta Vritti forming Nirodha or Reservoir knowledge or a
Faculty.
Understanding is the
systematic process to transform every
individual into reservoir of streams
of discipline or streams of many fold
disciplines. Whatever is understood is stored in the “Chitta” or the nervous
system as it is, without any change in in its physical structure, therefore,
Understanding is a permanent transformation.
And So, YoGaCh
hitta vrutti Nirodha:
Aschita:
Asta’ chit’ tvam Aschita:
Asta’
is to be understood in conjuncture
with “Aadra” and the
transition to “Punarvasu” in the
seventh house of lunar Cycle. Adra represents
the full moon day when Lord Siva transferred Yogic power to seven persons who
later on became the most prominent group of Sages known as Sapta Rishis. The next day,
Punarvasu marks the birth of twelve Adityas or derivatives of the Sun to
Sage Kashyapa and Aditi. There used to
be a practice adopted to ascribe knowledge systems in the name of offspring of the innovators
Punarvasu, the seventh day accrues significance as
it marks the day on which twelve major streams of knowledge on the galactic and
the solar system and were developed by sage Kshyapa and his wife Aditi. Again,
Aschita implies the larger understanding on the cosmic sciences and
synchronizing life activities and functions in consonance with the cosmic time
scale.
Va- rut- Tei
– vrutti
Va indicates unit
of time- Rut- is seasonal tei- functions- Vrut (Va Rut)- the functions of the body in every unit time. Aschita
vrutti imply those functions that continue happen in a scale of
progression included Temporal
operations of the body that are beyond the control of senses called as
involuntary functions.
VA-
Rut- tvaei- Vrutti – Vrutti ,
Rut
also indicate alls such
actions that requires effort,
force, energy or power.
Vrutti
is Vrut’ Ati , Vrutta is enveloping , circle, Zero
Ati - extreme,
time.
Aschita
tva ruta tva ei - Vrutti
Therefore, YoGa has certain pre
requisites in terms faculties of knowledge on involuntary functions. Such
spontaneous actions are inherent and pre-determined properties of organ systems
are defined as Aschita or involuntary functions.
Aschita-
ta tva
– curtailing the impact of seasons or time on involuntary functions is an
elementary principle of YoGa. Therefore,
YoGa sets in a timing of its own through the control over involuntary functions
are Yogaschittavrittinrodha.
Aschita essentially is
an ‘unmindful’ state flowing like a
river in accordance with the seasons (Rutu)
uninterrupted (Nirodha)- That
is, YoGa curtails the impact of time.
Emphasis is laid on the controlling powers
to delink from the perimeters of chronological time and to set into a synchronized time with that of the cosmic
systems – a process to attain universality and a unique identity. Such a mind
cannot be interrupted or distracted by the changes of seasons or other
Geophysical process. Functional
potencies and effect of YoGa is to set in a new temporal operation arresting
all conventional process and taking control by the system of “Mind” and so:-

Therefore, learning has to be in such a manner like

catches fast on a dry material. But when the fire is put off by water, it has
to burn by itself. “Tadaardraushta” is the principle of learning. It can be a
physically tough task that serves as

stone. Therefore, the perceptive powers
are to be taken as the criteria. Presumptive knowledge base acts like a rigid
surface, he will be repulsive to learning. One will try to find objections and
reservations, arguments and conflicts at every instance, or, can even misappropriate and take the subject
to undesirable directions and debates.
It is where, aptitude for learning, and understanding has to be the
prime consideration in the choice of a student.
The
same is applicable to persons selected for any job. The candidate may be smart,
highly brilliant, who can score high grades in every test or interview. After
the placement, the attitudes will lead to collapse of the entire system.
The
first lesson of Personal Management, selection and criteria is defined here.
Dashatu Tush’ Swa
Dashatu – decades of, tush –separating the trash,
swa- self.
It will take decades to separate the
unwanted or undesirable aspects from the self. To get an orientation or the
track one has to choose will take decades. The same may be encountered in
separating the right personnel .
Drusha
tu swara upe t’va
Drusha- Sitting on a tree, Swara- sound,
Upet’- one who has fallen, Tva – several.
One who has failed in the process is the
one who creates several sounds so loud as if
sitting on a tree. One who falls
tries to portray a picture as if he has
reached better heights or climbed the top of the tree.
Vara
Upa eava staana
Vara- best. Upa- above, Eava –in
reality, Staana- position.
In reality the best will be above
in position,
And so,
Drushta Swaroopa Avastaanam Tadaa:
Yogic faculties become
functional when the Biogenic Energy
System of the attain the state of information gathering that involves Vikshepa
(emission) and Akshepa (reception). Both the processes attenuate the power of
Vision beyond normal sensory perceptions.
Biogenic Energy Waves form the peri-cranial or system of extraneous
Yogic intelligence. The waves generated in the extraneous system are emitted as
radiance acts as the probe system which makes the subject matter in a visible
form. “Drushta” defines the potential
powers of perceiving radiant frequencies that are beyond observable ranges.
Biogenic energy has two distinctive spectrum that is categorized into Biofield
and Biogenic Energy (Radiance). Biofield includes all observable spectrums that
are resultant activity of life that includes Aura, Psi or Chi energies that are
observable or detectable. Whereas
Biogenic energy is totally a system that is a characteristic property generated
through the Faculty development that begins with resonance based activation of
the human system by means of self-organization and transformation- follows the principle of “resonance to radiance”.
Process of Self-organization and
Self-transformation are continuous process of generating to an outer core of
energy field. This Core as it grows
progresses outwardly creates more and more space of its own, irrespective and
independent of geo-physical factors including time. Thus the impact of
geo-physical chronological time ceases to exist. The core accrues a structure
identical to the matrix of the universe and attains the stature of Cosmic nature (Brahmam). At this state,
vision, interpretation, analysis, explanations and derivations drawn within
this matrix is Cosmic Knowledge –the
Brahma Jjnaanam. The base resonance- the of the matrix the
Core system of the Yogi and the Universe is the same and is termed
as “Brahma Sruti”, which is the same
sound everywhere- COSMIC BASE
RESONANCE.
Attenuation
of ‘Cosmic Base Resonance’ generates
the “energy field” visible in the form
of radiant light, which serves as
the “Probe” system can be used to intercept, transgress, implore and explore
any matter of object or radiant systems
to gather the information content , that is further systematically
organized and termed as “JjNAANAM” – the
“KNOWLEDGE”. The radiant probe that
emerges out of a Yogi is the Emitter can be termed as the “Emitted radiance” or
“VIKSHEPA”. Radiance so Emitted – Vikshepa intercepts or probes the space or objects or
organisms or specific areas or objects and is received by
the source of the emission as the “Radiant Information Signals” or ‘AKSHEPA’. The Radiant Information
Signals of Akshepa carry huge volumes of
information are received as
a single point ( Bindu). This single point of resonance serves as a compressed
information serves as the template for further deciphering of the voluminous
data that are expressed with numerical values affixed with a sound frequencies
rendered with specific modulations and intonations set with timing, thus giving
rise to a graphic format. The system
developed over 1500 generations of lineages was codified by Sage Skanda and is
“Jyotishmati” Jyotishmati paved way for the schools of other sages to develop
their own time based system of “Horas”.
Based on this time based system,
Samhitas, Upanishads, Sootras were developed. The next Stage of a YoGi is Tapasya or
Penance, focused on a specific aspect, which can set in a prolonged course of
hibernation, leading to the development of Schematic process of Knowledge –
“Patdthati”. Koushika system of Progression
is one such scheme or “ Pat’tdha’ati”. Patdhati incorporates Pathways(Pa’aT’) of Knowledge (Dha) involving schemes of “Tat” and “dhi”.
“Tat”
configures process that are employed for differentiating subject elements into
its constituent units to the finest level and to synthesize diverse range of
new structures in a sequence. The principles or theories derived out in this manner are known as the Tat-Va. “Dhi” is the process of analysis,
interpretation and categorization of such theories, thus structuring a stream
of Knowledge. Such principles of ‘Tat’
expressed in a definitive time frame
“Va” is configured as Organ
–A’ng(ञ्) and are
expressed in a codified format “ Vang” VANG”- Time based system of numerical resonance system with linear
movement of body organs to draw its
visual representation called AXARAM( Aksharam). This method of
drawing is a highly precise
graphic representation , in which every point of spatial distribution of a
resonance assumes geometric patterns.
Such sounds were articulated with meters to produce literal meanings and
at the same time incorporated technical detail in definitive formations of
sounds.
From here, YoGanusassanam deals with the structure and functioning of
the Mind, Intellect and the Waveform
dynamics in consonance with the Agneyam of R’G Veda.
