Download or read book Sankhya Yoga and Vedanta in an exciting union written by Premyogi vajra and published by Bhishm Sharma. This book was released on 2024-09-22 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vast tapestry of Indian philosophy, three threads stand out for their profound insights and transformative potential: Sankhya, Yoga, and Vedanta. Each of these ancient systems offers a unique perspective on the nature of reality, consciousness, and the path to spiritual liberation. When woven together, they create a rich and vibrant narrative that speaks to the deepest aspects of the human experience. Sankhya provides the metaphysical foundation, delineating the dualistic interplay between Purusha (pure consciousness) and Prakriti (the material universe). It is within this framework that we understand the cosmic dance of creation, preservation, and dissolution. Yoga, with its practical approach, offers the tools and techniques to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. Through disciplined practice, one can transcend the limitations of the physical and mental realms, experiencing the union of the individual self with the universal consciousness. Vedanta, the culmination of Vedic wisdom, transcends duality, revealing the ultimate truth of non-dualism. It teaches that the apparent separation between the self and the cosmos is an illusion, and that in reality, all is one. In this short though summarized book, we explore the exhilarating convergence of these three philosophies, focusing on the transformative journey of Kundalini awakening. This sacred process is likened to a divine marriage festival, where Prakriti and Purusha unite in a blissful embrace. As the dormant Kundalini energy rises through the chakras, it awakens the latent potential within, leading to profound spiritual realization and inner harmony. Join us on this enchanting journey, where ancient wisdom meets modern understanding, and the timeless dance of Purusha and Prakriti unfolds in all its splendor. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious seeker, this book offers insights and inspiration to guide you on your path to self-discovery and enlightenment. *All chapters in this book were originally part of our earlier work; 'Kundalini Science' series' 'Spiritual Psychology' books.

Download or read book Classical S khya written by Gerald James Larson and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 2001 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tradition of Samkhya is one of the oldest and most influential in the intellectual history of India. The fundamental notions of Samkhya namely prakrti, purusa, buddhi, ahamkara, manas and the three gunas provided the conceptual framework in which much of Indian philosophizing occurred, and the classical formulations of Yoga and Vedanta together with many traditions of Buddhist philosophy and meditation developed vis-a-vis the intellectual perspective of the Samkhya. Similarly on a general cultural level the influence of Samkhya was profound and important over many centuries in such areas as law, medicine, ancient science and mathematics, logic, mythology, cosmology and ritual. This study traces the history of the Samkhya not only in the Indian intellectual tradition, but also in the traditions of historical criticism. The book also offers a new interpretation of the philosophical significance of the Samkhya, with special reference to the classical interpretation of the interaction of prakrti and purusa. In this edition author has also included a Chart of the Twenty-five Basic Principles of the Samkhya, a Glossary of Samkhya Terminology, an additional Appendix which surveys recent scholarly work in the area of Samkhya together with a discussion of Samkhya in the Purana-s and a revised Bibliography.

Download or read book The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali written by Charles Johnston and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The metaphysics of Patanjali is built on the same dualist foundation as the Samkhya school. The universe is conceptualized as two realities in Samkhya-Yoga schools: Puruṣa (consciousness) and Prakriti (mind, cognition, emotions, and matter). It considers consciousness and matter, self/soul and body as two different realities. Jiva (a living being) is considered as a state in which puruṣa is bonded to Prakriti in some form, in various permutations and combinations of various elements, senses, feelings, activity, and mind. During the state of imbalance or ignorance, one of more constituents overwhelms the others, creating a form of bondage. The end of this bondage is called Kaivalya, liberation, or moksha by both Yoga and Samkhya schools. The ethical theory of Yoga school is based on Yamas and Niyama, as well as elements of the Guṇa theory of Samkhya. Patanjali adopts the theory of Guṇa from Samkhya. Guṇas theory states that three Gunas (innate tendency, attributes) are present in different proportions in all beings, and these three are sattva guna (goodness, constructive, harmonious), rajas guna (passion, active, confused), and tamas guna (darkness, destructive, chaotic). These three are present in every being but in different proportions, and the fundamental nature and psychological dispositions of beings are a consequence of the relative proportion of these three Gunas. When sattva guna predominates an individual, the qualities of lucidity, wisdom, constructiveness, harmony, and peacefulness manifest themselves; when rajas are predominant, attachment, craving, passion-driven activity, and restlessness manifest; and when tamas predominates in an individual, ignorance, delusion, destructive behavior, lethargy, and suffering manifests. The guṇas theory underpins the philosophy of mind in the Yoga school of Hinduism.
