Yoga (Yogam),
Unity with Universe,
“Gateway to divine knowledge”
I am touching (with pranams) the feet of my guru (teacher), the great orator P.Parameswaranji.
Introduction
Here I am trying to put forward a scientific view point of the great potential of Yogam– (unity with universe). We know there are three levels of consciousness,
(a) Conscious
(b) Sub-conscious
(c) Conscious of universe (Super conscious /Divine conscious)
“Yogam represents not only a physical exercise that is part of ancient Indian education and life style but an educational process that transforms mere mortals to a complete man. Transformation occurs from animal to man, then man to divine.”
Ancient India’s education process had great potential that it produced personalities like Sree Rama, Sreekrishna, Guru Viswamithr, Guru Vashisht, Guru Veda Vyas and hundreds of other eminent personalities.
A scientific explanation
Yogam says, dam your senses then there will be tremendous (will) power (Thapasakthi). Yogam advises to focus ones senses inwards to draw the tremendous will power or Tapasakthi.
This idea is clearly explained in the first stanza of “AthmopadeshaSathakam” written by Sree Narayana Guru. In Mahadeva’s song (padi arum kadannu), when we cross the six steps (5 physical senses + 6thsense or Subtle Perception Ability) we can attain divine. Yogam helps in tuning body and mind to unity. For example, if we have to receive a signal from a television center, we have to tune our TV to a specific frequency. The same way there is a frequency of universal conscious, to communicate with that frequency (or receive) we have to tune our body through physical exercise and likewise for mind, i.e. meditation first, then consciousness, thereafter sub-conscious which will tune with universal conscious.
I have 10 years of experience with this process and feel the flow of knowledge while meditating (Prayer, meditation, imagination power are all different ways of communicating with universal Conscious).If one goes through this process he/she can become a universal personality (Yogi).
Unity
with Universe (Continues-------
Is it an individual Consciousness a time
traveler?
Individual Consciousness starts its journey from
universe Consciousness and travelling time to time towards new destinations.
Consciousness never dies
Consciousnesses of an individual achieves a physical body to enter a world (birth). When the life cycle completes it will shed its physical body (death) and continue its travel towards the next level . If an individual’s life span couldn't accomplish within the life cycle(before death) it will try to achieve another physical body for completing the desire……….
Is it humans are trying to become a super human or immortal?,
Yes…….in modern world the Consciousnesses
of individuals will try to achieve
a mechanical body(humanoid) then it can
travel with time to future ,one day human can
transfer Consciousness (Parakaya prvesham)from
a human body to a mechanical body(humanoid)
This is a humble endeavor to bring back the scientific value of ancient India’s knowledge to children and youth.
