About Yoga Darśana UpaniśadOriginally, this Upaniśad is called Jābāladarśana Upaniśad, but it is also known as Yoga Darśana Upaniśad. It belongs to Sāmaveda. It primarily deals with Aṣṭāṅga Yoga philosophy. The main theme of Aṣṭāṅga Yoga is described in it in the form of dialogue between Lord Dattātreya and Sage Sāṅkṛti.There are mainly ten khaṇḍas (parts) in it. In the first part the philosophy of the eight limbs of yoga and the ten yamas are described. In the second part the ten niyams are explained. Nine types of asanas are described in the third part. There is a long explanation of introduction to nāḍīs, the pilgrimage to the Self and the glory of the knowledge of Self-realization in the fourth part. Methods of the purification of the nadis and the self-purification are described in the fifth part. Prāṇāyāma, its methods of practice, results and applications are described in the sixth part. Pratyāhāra, its types and results are described in the seventh part. Dhāraṇā and dhyāna are described in the eighth and ninth parts. The state of samādhi and its results are described in the last tenth part.About Yogatattva UpaniśadThe Yogatattva Upaniśad belongs to Kriśna Yajurveda. The various subject matters of yoga are elaborately described in it. In the beginning Lord Viśnu imparts the knowledge of the mysterious truth of yoga to Brahma. It is said that yoga is a means to attain the highest state or self-realization. Mantra Yoga, Laya Yoga, Haṭha Yoga and Rāja Yoga and their four states - ārambha, ghaṭa, paricaya and niśpatti are described. Further the moderation in diet and daily routine for a yogi are stated. The description of preliminary signs of yoga siddhis (perfection in yoga) and instructions for keeping oneself away from these powers are detailed.Yoga Sādhanā when followed and practiced with full devotion and a concentrated mind certainly bestows success to a yogi and he is equipped with all the siddhis (aṇimā, garimā and mahimā, etc.). He becomes the authority of the divine powers. Finally, after realizing the essence of the Self like an unwavering lamp within himself, he is liberated from the worldly cycles of death and birth.
Download or read book Nadabindu and Dhyanabindu Upanishads written by Swami Satyadharma Saraswati and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Included is a foreword on the life and teachings of Swami Satyadharma, who passed away while writing the commentary on Dhyānabindu. Her commentary on Nādabindu is complete. The Dhyāna and Nādabindu Upaniṣads were probably composed between the ninth and fourteenth centuries CE. The bindu is a psychic centre located in the brain at the top back of the head. These upaniṣads focus on meditation on the bindu, the source point or origin of individual creation, where begins the primal sound or first vibration, the mantra Om. They define and describe in detail the mantra Om, the effects of meditating on it until one attains perfect liberation, merging with the Divine.Nādabindu describes the components of Om, that is, its three and a half measures (mātrā) which are the sounds a u m, and the half measure, the echo of m. Always meditating on Om, the yogin is liberated from worldly life, unaffected by his/her karmas. The nāda is first heard through the right ear, and many other inner sounds are heard. Eventually the yogin hears no other sounds and transcends duality.Dhyānabindu, an expansion of Nādabindu, confirms that meditation on Om can destroy all karmas. The yogin should meditate on the lotus of the heart, then at the eyebrow centre, then on the Sun, Moon and Agni, leading to the ātman. The six parts of yoga, the cakras, nāḍīs and prāṇas are described. Kuṇḍalinī Śakti can be awakened by the repetition of the mantra haṃsa, ham spontaneously accompanying the inhalation, and sa the exhalation, as well as uḍḍiyāna and jālandhara bandhas, khecarī mudrā and mahāmudrā. The ātman is described in detail. Finally, the teacher recommends meditating on the bija mantras of the five elements, the five prāṇas and the nāda.

Book excerpt: Shandilya Upanishad is the sixth volume of the Yoga Upanishads series. The Śāṇḍilya Upaniṣad is connected with the Atharva Veda. It commences with the yogin invoking Rāma to guide him along the eightfold path of yoga to liberation.In the first verse of chapter one, Śāṇḍilya asks Atharvan to instruct him in the eight limbed path of yoga, with the aim of reaching the true Self. Śāṇḍilya himself was a Rishi with many disciples, and was the progenitor of the Śāṇḍilya lineage. Atharvan was a Vedic rishi, who, together with Angiras, is said to have revealed the Atharva Veda, and was the first to perform yagña, fire oblations. The first two sections describe the foundations of yoga, yama and niyama, external and internal restraints. Section three describes the eight āsanas, which, as well as having physical, mental and energic benefits, prepare the body for sitting still for a long time in meditation without discomfort.Later sections describe the fourteen main nāḍīs, ten vāyus, maṇipura cakra and kuṇḍalinī of the subtle or pranic body. The methods of purification of the nāḍīs are described in great detail, as purification is considered necessary for the higher stages of concentration (dhāraṇā) and meditation (dhyāna). The prerequisites for yoga practice are listed. A meditation on agni maṇḍala is given. Prāṇāyāma is defined as AUM, and the practice of nāḍī śodhana prāṇāyāma with emphasis on kumbhaka and the effects of the practice are described in detail.Teachings are then given on khecarī and vaiṣṇavī mudrā, control of prāṇa, awakening kuṇḍalinī, saṃyama, pratyāhāraḥ, dhāraṇā, dhyāna and samādhi. The necessity of both yoga and jñāna for liberation is emphasised.Chapter two has sections on knowledge of Brahman, creation of the universe, the names of Brahman, and Dattātreya.
