INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY: AN IMPETUS TO REVIVE YOGIC INTELLIGENCE

International Recognition of YoGa as a methodology for holistic health and mind body harmony, has to be taken as a positive step to revive the System of YoGa beyond YoGaasanas. India will have to come out from the conventional notions by taking step to reinvent YoGa. The System of YoGa was one of the first innovations of humanity to create well-structured and disciplined faculties to inculcate knowledge by grasping the existent, deriving the non-existent, thereby assimilating the entire cosmos to create a reservoir of Knowledge. YoGa is the culmination of the knowledge in its entirety irrespective of time, space and dimensions leading to the formation of a self-sustaining system of ethereal yet corporeal existence in transition. YoGa is the state of an indestructible form of radiant energy, independent of the physical parameters. In 2014, the United Nations declared that 21 June would be observed as the International Yoga Day “Recognizing that yoga provides a holistic approach to health and well-being, recognizing also that wider dissemination of information about the benefits of practising yoga would be beneficial for the health of the world population” . The 12th International Yoga Day holds the theme- “Yoga for Healthy Ageing”. Yoga is not a single and simple word or term. YoG’a was a terminology derived from a series of observations, studies and analysis of over long periods and was derived as a complex polysemous terminology. Difficulties arise in the understanding of such polysemous constructions mainly because of reading in correlation to the contemporary language and the understandings based on semantics or when read with cognitive or other new world concepts. Languages take over civilizations like waves of flood, washing off the precedent ones without leaving any trace. Human civilizations had encompassed several floods locally and globally, which includes changes in the astrophysical constellations and realignment of galaxies. Such phenomenal changes have taken place after the formal knowledge systems were developed in polysemous abstractions and codifications were formulated. The basic reference and assessments based on the present Samskrutam or Sanskrit somehow defeats both the assessments on the period of origin and the understanding. At the time YoGa was devised as a system there were no crafty languages of today including Greek . Latin , Arabic, Brahmi , Apabhramsa or Samskrutam (Sanskrit). What can be derived out of the existing forms of Vedic Systems is about the existence of a complex system of “Dhwani”- a time based graphically structured algorithmic quantum energy release of sequential sonic plosions. From the art of communication in silence without language and words, the Dhwani system became an intricate segmentally interlaced note. In the most remote probabilities, the YoGic system cannot be construed to have been constructed along the lengthy Samskrutam verses as in various schemes available as on the date. These scriptures carry original modules of Dhwani as central to the verses. Later in the hands of linguists and ritualistic Brahminical scholasticism, every aspect became diluted and over a thousand years of foreign invasions, became totally reshaped into something strange and fictitious. During this period, rise of Monasticism and epic idolatry led to the perils of Rishi Traditions. India did not have a Rishi for the past 2 millennia or more. India fell into the folds of Eurocentric lines and concepts, while a large section fell into pro-Islamic halo of culture. Deliberate attempts to mask the reality on the cardinal foundations and societal ethos of India along theocentric definitions and portrayed every knowledge system of India as that of the Hindus. Freedom of India did not create an environment to redevelop the Indian Knowledge systems with contemporary reverence. Stiff resistance and evidence seeking intellectualism relying on invasive methodologies stood as a huge wall. Another class of Hindu Intelligentsia amalgamated every discipline , intercalated Vedic Streams with Puranas and created a major roadblock in rediscovering the original values. Various masters of divinity surfaced from time to time as self-styled godmen, babas and sadhus, took every aspect of the scriptures into their fold. Truth is that, there could not be another Dattatreya, Agasthya, Gorakhsha Nath and down the line. India did not see much scholastic pursuits of ingenuity after Shankaracharya. After Independence, India could not do much to remove the misconceptions on the “Hindu” as a religion and “The Hindu” and a Knowledge System. The scriptures became reduced as hymns used in rites, ritual and Yajjna for Brahminical consumption. The country totally ignored the reality that the same serves as the template and substrate for deriving the inlaid knowledge systems. YoGanusaassanam or the YoGa sutra of Padthanjali too suffered from the same treatment. YoGanusaassanam , widely known as the YoGa Sutra also became limited to such commentaries of religious and Monastic orders, and became reduced to Practices for physical and materialistic accomplishments. Within India, a new dialogue emerged with the UN Declaration of International YoGa Day, that it is of Hindu traditions while some religious minorities have raised concerns that the practice is contrary to their religious beliefs. After 12 years of UN declaration if such rudimentary thinking continues to haunt India, itself sounds paradoxical. Until a new initiative begins somewhere in Europe or US to derive the scientific information lying dispersed in the YoGanusaassanam, India will remain submerged in the debates over the Sanskrit construction and the Hindu Religious pride of “Sanatana Dharma”. Recent debates and dialogues show that the genius of Indian values have misconstrued the very implications of Sanaa and Sanaataa which is centric to the YoGic Systeem, The most commonly accepted meaning and illustration of Sanatana Dharma is that it is “eternal “ and “devoid of a Prophet or a religious leader”. The principle of “Sanatana” originated at a period of Humanisation and development of human facilities where communication in the form of developed language systems were not developed. The abstract form of communication and complex nature of its formation has been dealt with in the context of Vedic system of letters. The origin of Sanatana is from the principles of "Agneyam “ of Brahmarishi Viswamitra, now found in the R’gK Veda. The probable elucidation of “Sn’ta” later on could have become expanded to Sa’naata and Sanaatana with the linguists overtaking the interpretations and commentaries of the Scriptures. Sanatana -Sana Tana from the basic concept of time Sana is period, or time Tan- offsprings or children. Tana is the succession in continuity. Sanatana may be understood as the sum total of the values derived from the existentialism of successive generations of a Period that stabilized with societal values and became perpetual in succession. All postulates on Santana converge on “Sanataa” in Vedic Sphere of BrahmaRishi Vishwamitra in “Dharmani “sanataa na d’ddushat”. All the streams of Indian Systems of Knowledge originated from Agneyam, which deals with energy and forces that led to the formation of particulate structures to “matter”. Sanaata is the accomplishment of Universality of human beings with the strength of a systematic life and practices which makes the place they dwell in Pradthu. In short , a topographical identity to the habitat was made through a quantitative characteristic based on Productivity of the land in relation to the people. The activity based characteristics thus was given within the the term Pradthu - Value and worthiness of Land came into the societal concept . Farming became organized and extended to include all the aspects of food production- Ratna. The three principles thus came into being on the Rat- the orientation for productive work, which later became Vrat- determination and somewhere in the for Vows. Rat gave rise to the quality called the Character or behavioral patterns. The part of the land where people live with the three characteristic Aahara, Aachara and rata (food, customs and Order in life) identities came to be denoted as Prudthvi ( Prithvi). That is where the Prudthu the land assumes or gets the power or strength and has to be carried on. So Prduthu in the Context of universality of Cosmic identity of humans i.e., Vaisvanaraya in relation to the habitat is defined as Prudthu. The functional name of the one of Seven Rishis in the context was therefore given as Prudhthu. The basic concept of ameliorating hunger from the society is attributed to Prudhu irrespective of the name found in several creations at various periods. In the Context of R’gK Vedic reference, it has to be taken as the first reference point of the beginning of societal orders and hence the Pradthu in the context of Sanaata has to be understood as the Prudthu belonging to the Tamasa Manvantara . With his contributions to the society, Prudthu is conjoined into the Group of Saptarishis of the Tamasa Manvatvarara, along with Jyoti Dharma, Chaitragni( Chaitra), Savana, Kavya(Kalpa), Pivara . Prudhu existed from the time the humanization had set in to motion from the period of systematized living. It would require a decoding of the identical terminologies dispersed along different epochs in the Vedic system to understand the exact implication of each terminology. Vedic Dhwani formed the template which never underwent any change, but the transcriptions, translations, and new synthesis out of these basic dhwani by each school and lineages of the Rishis gave birth to a wide range of illustrations and understandings, Therefore the template Sanaata has to be read with the attributes that lead to the terminology. What lays the foundations in the times ahead is Vidh’anta Dharaneshu- forming the foundations of the human wisdom “Dha” and to be the order to be followed, which is integrated with “Duvasyatyadtha Dharmani” is “ sanaata”. Within the eternal (amruto) Principles of “Agni” (energy to matter ) constructed is Sanaata. Productive or industrious quality is the core foundation. Later during the Puranic periods (historicity of the City states or Puras and their transience) Sanaata became Sanatana. Sanatana is not about Gods , idolatry, worship or beliefs of the People of a given Habitat, but it is about the faculties of the people, habits and the Societal order. It is not correct to infer or affirm that Sanatana began without leadership. Sanatana is a societal characteristic crystallised through the arduous efforts of the group of Sapta Rishis through successive epochs or Manvantaras. IN each period, the Saptarishis formed the central pillars of faculty development known , that gave a dimension and nomenclature to each manvantara and the interim periods. The names of Brahma Rishis and the subordinate classes were known by the nature of their contributions to the successive periods and those were reflections of the varying gradients of YoGic intellectualism. The YoGic system forms an offshoot of Agneyam belonging to the lineage of Atri traditions. The Purpose and objective of YoGic system can be seen as the mechanism and systematics innovated to create self-sustaining Intellectual faculties with an integrated approach. Such infused intellect indoctrinated through a methodological synthesis forms the YoGic Intelligence , which is holistic and graphical in nature. So far, the commentators, mostly linguists, scholars and Monastic traditions have worked out only theocentric, philosophical and literary illustrations and commentaries with annotations from different scriptures and disciplines. YoGa Sutra , the YoGanusaassanam is a set of theories, methodologies and procedures in consonance with the Vedic Dhwanis set in an environment of sonic frequencies and acoustics. Theories and its explanations are spaced in geometric patterns that cannot be laid on a spreadsheet. It is evident from the broad spectrum of indicators on the social appropriation of technology and adaptive skills stratified across various segments of the Indian Society at any given point time. Such a phenomenon in the Indian society is the result of Applied YoGic Intelligence of the sages who created the stratification during the organization of and creation of City States which became kingdoms and empires in the long turn of time and eventualities to the whatsoever remains as Bharat – the Republic of India. The Sages categorized and assorted the people based upon their physical characteristics and understanding abilities, thus creating a broad division of classes. Each of these classes were imparted with appropriate skills according to their intellectual capacities. Such skills became improvised and got new technical and creative dimensions through successive generations. More and more divisions came with the advancement of new trades and disciplines by the successive lineages. The Indigenous people of such a progression constituted Sanatana. Each class and its subdivisions represented gene pools with identical characteristics and expressions. After intermittent periods, the trade and professionalism became inherent traits of the genetic inheritance. The traditional workmanship and trades thus became grouped into four broader classes forming a well-structured demographic stratification patter of the city states and its perpetual succession firmed up the Varna system The system of Varna based on the progression from the base plank of the Shudras eventually began to degenerate under the spell of invasions and decaying tendencies with the consolidation of wealth and powers. No efforts were made to revive the transitions in the castes based on knowledge and other acquired faculties. In the hands of colonial and leftist historians and social scientists together with the socialist and secularist political ideologies the social system of India was given a different colour and dimensions.. Interpretations and explanations with narratives of hostilities were strewn across to establish hegemonial dominance. It is against this backdrop that religious minorities and some segments among the Hindus themselves create a Hindutva colour to the System of YoGa. In such a turbulent socio-political environment, YoGa fell into the hands of religious and monastic institutions leading to catachresis of YoGa as Yog and Yogam. ‘Yog’ is totally a different terminology which emerged from the treatises of Sankhya ( Samkya) and the philosophies to indicate the integrated phenomenon of male and female integrals. The physical existence in the form of body and the spiritual element of the Aatman- the self within the self that is formless. Yog in Sankhya concept is broad based and it does not in any way become interlinked with YoGa. Yogam has its roots from the Hora Sastras. Ganita and astronomical treatises. The positional value in terms of Dik Sankhya ( values with direction – Vectors) and Vasu Sankya ( Scalar, planar) led to the development of Yogams or cumulative effects. Nava (9) Sam Yogams , Trigunita nav Samyagams ( multiples of 3) led to the development of 4 basic Yogams of Akriti (Shape), Samkhya (numerals) , Aashraya ( dependent) and Dala ( corollary) Yogam. These terminologies and systems were developed much later , in recent periods. The reference of YoGa in the Vedic systems and the epics do not mean that these systems were developed during those periods. Indian systems took shape with the development of the YoGic systems and its Siddhis that can be called as YoGic Intelligence. Padthanjali system is YoGa and is the composite system to create faculties for humans as a “self-sustaining independent intellectual system”. YoGic Intelligence is the most complex system of Information gathering, data analysis , interpretation and synthesis at the fastest possible pace and time. The Prognosis and self-correcting and adaptive mechanics form the most integrated mechanics of Intellectual faculties which can take into its fold myriads of parameters. The western Schools of Management and Information Technology Development faces theoretical failures as they could not create such self-sustaining intelligence faculties.
