| Hi Friends,
Recently some of my local friends were having discussion about yoga in general. The topic started revolving around "what is core philosophy of yoga". Each of them put forward their own ideas about the topic and of course as it happens with any group the ideas were varying. I was observing them silently (I rarely participate in debates and arguments) and happen to recollect one Shloka that beautifully explains the essence of Yoga. Before I share that shloka (many of you might be knowing it already. It's a well known shloka.) I am curious to know what you think. If somebody asks you - "Explain the core philosophy of Yoga in not more than 2 lines." What will be your answer?

| Hi Bipinjoshi,
Yogas-citta-vrttu-nirodhah
Yoga is the restriction of the fluctuations of consciousness.

| Boy! Tough question and 2 line answer?
1. Yoga one one hand is the state where individuality is merged into Universality, also called as kaivalyam, samaadhi, moksha, union of atman with paramaatman, shiva-jiva-yuti, etc.
2. And, on another hand, it is the practice which shall utimately lead to the state described in 1.

Yoga cannot be described.
It must be experienced.
I agree with you. However, it has always been an effort from human beings to express things in words. Even God has been expressed in words (Shabda Bramhan). As the Patanjali's famous sutra says "Tasya Vachaka Pranava". So it is just an effort to express, share our ideas.

"Yoga is unconditional love and acceptance"
This is my core philosophy

| Ok. Here is that wonderful shloka from Kularnava Tantra and its translation:
Sanskrit:
Deho Devalayo Devi, Jivo Devah Sadashivah
Tyajet Ajana Nirmalye Soham Bhavena Pujayet
Translation:
(Lord Shiva says) O Devi! (i.e. Parvati) This body is temple. The living being inside is Sadashiva (one of the names of Shiva) himself. Renounce debris of ignorance and worship him with "he and I are same (or I am that)" attitude.
My English translation possibly will not convey its profound meaning. It has deep meaning. Every word such as temple, Soham, Devi, Sadashiva has much more significance and many facets than just the "face value". In just a few words it aptly captures the essence of Yoga. These lines beautifully enclose nature, practice as well as goal of Yoga.

| Okay, before I read the bipin's response, here's mine:
sit down, shut up, get up, get out! | |

| Yoga is the path replacing extreme emotions with perfect balance, through practice and devotion, one shall return to one’s source (true Self), and achieve absolute liberation. Else,
One can follow GJ’s 8-worded path to enlightenment!

| Greetings,
Is yoga not the practice of uninterupted attention to that within us which is seamlessly unified with all else?
Michael | |
| | |
| A lot of good thoughts ! Bipinji's sloka says all. Thanks, Bipinji. I will add :
Yoga means "getting united" which is opposite of Separateness. Yoga is a way which removes all illusions of separateness. It leads us to where there is no "I", no "You", no "He", no "She", nothing which can be called "other" .... there is only "THAT".

| I used to think Yoga breaks down the barriers between mind, body and spirit, but I think it is more accurate to see it reveals there are none. Oneness. | |

I used to think Yoga breaks down the barriers between mind, body and spirit, but I think it is more accurate to see it reveals there are none. Oneness.
NO. Body is the barrier for Mind, and Body/Mind are barriers for the Spirit. I mean in terms of realization.
When one thinks one is body, then body barrier comes. When one thinks one is body and/or mind, body-mind barrier comes. When one realizes one is spirit, no barrier comes.

I think we may be saying roughly the same thing in different ways. I was referring to breaking down the barrier of body to get to mind and body as one, then breaking down the barrier between the mind/body as one and the spirit only to have the spirit reveal there never were any barriers. But I consider myself as awakened and not truly realized; the barriers come back. I have had some deep experiences that have changed me, but when I thought I would never see myself in the same light again I was wrong. Most of the time life is just as it was before and my ego exerts control just as before and even forms doubts about those experiences, which seemed impossible to ever imagine doubting. | |
| | |
| [only to have the spirit reveal there never were any barriers.]
Yes. The barriers are imaginary .... they have no existence ..... just like dream. I have felt that everything comes from conditioning .... layers of conditioning ... one above the other.
[Most of the time life is just as it was before and my ego exerts control just as before and even forms doubts about those experiences, which seemed impossible to ever imagine doubting.]
What I feel is that "practice" is necessary. The "I" gets transparent with practice ..... and again apparently becomes strong (not exactly same as it was before because you are aware & because you are aware, this awareness won't allow the ego to solidify fully ), if the practice is stopped before full realisation. Coming out of it will not be difficult for you. I think you know it well. | |
| | |
| There are different forces at work here. While the I is becoming more transparent, it is also becoming less repulsive. I have become more compassionate and I am a jerk less often (I still have my buttons). A dispassionate awareness of the persona I present at my job and social gatherings allows me to take stock of my character and make some fairly significant changes. Is this a trick of the ego to keep from being cast aside? If so, it's a good trick and I like it. I am more comfortable in my skin and whether that comfort is an illusion or not is of little consequence most of the time. One negative is that a good dose of compassion has caused me to become disappointed in people (including myself) and institutions doing far too little to help others even though they have the means.
But yes, I need to stay focused and practice. | |
| | |
| One result of my practice is that I feel more connected to people, but care less about any judgement or pressure from others. It makes me brave enough to interact with people, where before I would be home alone all the time. | |

Feeling good or bad as a reaction towards anything ( people, things, emotions, behaviour etc.) is an indicator that the ego is still quite solid & capable of reflections. There is a stage when these reactions/reflections stop. .... that would come by practice & grace of the supreme being. There is no need to cast aside ego ( "who" will do it ?) .... we cannot do it ... you cannot run away from yourself. You start looking for it ( who gets happy or disappointed etc. ?) ... go deep inside & try to locate where it resides ... from where it emanates ... it would just vanish because it was nothing but illusion. | |

WTF is Shalom? Please elaborate a bit, Neel.
ShalamOM: I've never danced and I don't like dance, but the instructors where I work who teach dance aerobic classes are the most admired and valued. They get paid the most too.l All the members are impressed with the dancers and seem to think yoga is for 'old people'. My yoga classes tend to get mostly 60 year olds.

| I see, Neel. 
I was just giving a 1 line quotation in anwer to bipinji's question to explain the core philosophy of yoga in 2 lines.
Although there are obvious differences between dance and yoga, "both rivers stem from the same source" (in the Indian tradition) and serve the same purpose (IMHO).
As such, both should be performed with the same "attitude".
BTW: I don't think yoga is just for old people.

Beautiful, thanks Bipinjoshi. Yes, renounce the debris of ignorance.
And 'Who am I'?...beautiful. Also as Ramana would tell people, "Just keep quiet".
Patanjalis sutra2 describes it well for me, as was already mentioned. I even have it tatood on my arm...."Yoga is when the waves of the mind cease"... Yoga citta vrtti nirodaha. I do feel so connected , one with All, in silence, when there is awareness of the activity of the mind and the ability to not entertain the thoughts.

Deho Devalayo Devi, Jivo Devah Sadashivah
Tyajet Ajana Nirmalye Soham Bhavena Pujayet
Hey Devi (Parvati), body is an abode (place to live) of Deva (ishwara). And the Jiva (soul, atmaa, spirit) is the Deva Sadaashiva, or the Lord Sadaashiva (who lives in that abode). The ignorance (which is that I am body and mind, that is anything other than spirit) should be reliquished and the Deva inside should be worshipped using the Bhaava (cultivated emotion) that 'I am He" that is "I am Spirit (Jiva)" ( I am not the body and mind).
This is a method of Jnanayoga which immediately as a part of practice discards body and mind and all material universe associated with them. It meditates on Spirit, until it is reached.
----------------
Who am I is a self enquiry and is a different method. In this you are doing enquiry. In the above method, you are assuming that you are the Self and only meditating on it, discarding body and mind.
--------------
yogaH chittavruttinirodhaH... NOT that Yoga is When.
But, Yoga (itself is) nirodha (intentional stopping of) fluctuation of chitta.
In Patanjali, yoga is a practice.
And, when that happens the Spirit abides in its own form. This state is NOT silence and the mind is NOT active. When mind is active it is not Nirbeeja samaadhi.
tasya api nirodhe sarvanirodhan NirbiijaH Samadhi... last sutra of the first chapter.
------------------------------
That is why Proper Translation of Sutras is a must for study.

Hi Neel,
Just thought I'd re-read what you describe as Yoga. Yes, individuality merged into universality. But I wouldn't say it's a 'state'. States come and go.
And yes, it's not 'when', thanks for that.
I think we are picking on words though,and it has to be experienced. In my experience, in silence, in letting go of thoughts, I feel connected to All.Yoga. Being, Presence. Many methods. It's not the method.

Hi Neel,

===> Agreed. State is the word I could use with my non English background. It does not perfectly depict what I want say. However, I want to say that the above definition I made up in response to Bipiniji's original post. I am not quoting the scriptures here.
And yes, it's not 'when', thanks for that.
===OK.
I think we are picking on words though,and it has to be experienced. In my experience, in silence, in letting go of thoughts, I feel connected to All.Yoga. Being, Presence. Many methods. It's not the method.
===> No. I am giving a proper translation of what the Patanjali Sutra 2 means. It does not have When in that translation.
Neel,
Could you define Nirvikalpa and Sarvikalpa Samadhi?
===> kalpa - property of processing the information. vikalpa - a special ability to quickly process the information which a human mind has. there is another property called 'sankalpa' which is to make a decision to do something. sankalpa and vikalpa are the core properties of a human mind.
In Nirvikalpa Samaadhi - this process is absent. In Savikalpa - it is present.

Thanks Neel,
I was inspired by you to re-read the translation of Patanjali sutra 2, by Rohit Mehta...Yoga is the disolutuion of all centers of reaction in the mind. It's good to tell people the correct translation if I am to pass it on.
In Nirvikalpa Samadhi, does that mean that one doesn't 'decide' to let go of thoughts, to stop identifying with thoughts as who one is, it just happens automatically?

===> If it is possible, after you study whatever you wish, please read the book: Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Proper Translation and Chanting by Neel Kulkarni. It has a foreward by Dr. Deviprasad Kharwandikar, a well known Sanskrit Scholar, Grammarian, and Poet. See my website. He asked me to write commentary. But, that is too much work for an Indian guy. So, I made 18 DVDs of speeches given at a course using that book. I am selling them as commentary. One of my student has volunteered to transcribe the DVDs but I am not yet ready for such a huge printing effort. As I like to do all with my own income, no loan or no dependency".
In Nirvikalpa Samadhi, does that mean that one doesn't 'decide' to let go of thoughts, to stop identifying with thoughts as who one is, it just happens automatically?
===> Nirvikalpa samadhi occurs much after Savikalpa Samadhi. In Savikalpa samadhi, a concentration of highest kind is obtained starting with few objects to only one object. Then, in Nirvikalpa, one is able to kind of stop even that form by becoming one with that object. It is NOT letting go and all that simple stress relief technique. It is more devotional. And, that is why I like your signature.
Hari Hari Hari Om!

I agree with you. However, it has always been an effort from human beings to express things in words. Even God has been expressed in words (Shabda Bramhan ). As the Patanjali's famous sutra says "Tasya Vachaka Pranava". So it is just an effort to express, share our ideas.

===> Of course. And, that is mine. Why? The answer to why is written in the book.

===> NO. tasya vaachakaH pranavah ... is NOT an attempt to describe God in words similar to poet trying to explain the feelings. pranavaH is actually the expression of the Ishwara. That means, with NO single exception, each person who realizes Ishwara will know that OM is the one which describes it in word or sound form.

Neel,
I think you are misinterpreting my statement. I am NOT saying that Om is an ATTEMPT to describe God. I said - "Even God has been expressed in words" and you are also saying - "pranavaH is actually the expression of the Ishwara". So I think we are talking the same. I am not saying that one person called Patanjali expressed God as Om. The "effort" above is related to describing philosophy of Yoga and not to Om. In fact we (Kundalini Yogis) experience the relation between 3 1/2 coils of Kundalini and 3 1/2 matras of Pranava much clearly. Sincere practitioners of Yoni Mudra (I am talking about "real" yoni mudra and not the one which just closes gates of the body) will understand what I am saying.
Peace.

I personally never like to say that only one interpretation/translation is correct and the others are not. There are interpretations/translation written by many people and they wrote it based on their experience and understanding. You can have one as your favorite but that in no way to say that others are incorrect or inferior.
BTW: My favorite is by Swami Vivekananda

This is a method of Jnanayoga which immediately as a part of practice discards body and mind and all material universe associated with them. It meditates on Spirit, until it is reached.
I would not term it merely as Janayoga. It is much more than such a classification. In Tantraic Yoga words such as "Deho Devalaya", "Soham" have profound meaning (sometimes hidden). For example Goraksha explains nicely the meaning of Deho Devalaya in his works. Similarly, many other texts (including Vijana Bhairava Tantra and Goraksha Paddhati) emphasis on Ajapa Japa or Soham sadhana which is an important practice of natha sect. Further the word Pujayet hints at the hidden meaning of "worship" part of Tantra. That's why in my original post I said that these lines beautifully enclose nature, practice as well as goal of Yoga.

| Dear Bipniji, Soul and Purna:
Namaste.
1. As for Bipiniji's comments related to my usage of term 'Jnanayoga': What I wrote there is to distinguish the stated practice in Bipinji's verse from the Self Enquiry stated by Soul. Yes, Gorakhsa and Nathas mixed Jnana with Bhakti with Yoga in a profound manner. However, this particular verse, due to the usage of word SohamBhaavena, indicates discarding any other bhaava-s, and that is the jnana-marg. Actual, detailed practice can involve tantra, hatha, meditation, etc. Some other time, we shall go into this more, but just for contemplation for now: Jnana is the ultimate result of all practice. After receiving Jnana, no practice is necessary.
2. As for correct translation: What I am saying is there is ONLY one correct translation. Interpretations can be many. For example: mrutyu is translated as Death. It should not be translated as reduction, vanishing, etc. Now, the problem with ancient studies is: the translation is contextual, which means that the translation has to be taken from the dictionary used before the writer. For example: Prakaasha in current Sanskrit Dictionary means Light. But, in Patanjali, it means Sattva Guna. While studying Patanjali, no modern translations of words such as usage of Psychiatry should be done. In the interpretation or commentary, one can explain the meaning or usage of the ideas as they like. And, that was the main reason I wrote the book. My commentary is in my DVDs, unless I decide to transcribe it. May be I might post a part of it on the youtube, if possible.
3. As for Soul's statement about my Translation of Sutra2, may be I shall try to post the Sutra2 translation and commentary from my DVD on YouTube. How is that?
4. The reason for my above comments is: I have noticed senior yoga students and teachers, especially in the western world, who started their practice with Asanas, and trying to get the knowledge of Philsoophy from their Asana teachers who have not studied the philosophy from the Original Angle, which definitely starts with Sanskrit. Thus, to conclude: The Yoga Philosophy has to be learnt from someone who knows Sanskrit or has studied with someone who knew Sanskrti.

Dear SoulJourney, I spent 4 hours to get the 45 min into small format. I do not have the original Camcorder Tape. I only have a movie file which is 1 hour long which is one of the 18 DVDs of my Patanjali Sutras Explanatory Speeches. The sutra2 part is 45 min. I am not able to cut this file into WebStreaming format. And, YouTube allows only 10 min max. So, PM me and get only that particular CD. Thisi is at the beginning of 3rd Speech out of 18 speeches.
I shall try once more to see whether I can extract only audio etc. out of this.

OK Soul: Since you seem to be extremely interested, I have done the following. Of course, video quality is at loss due to many reasons, but Audio is intact.
There are total 18 DVDs of my speeches. Out of which 3rd DVD of 60 min contains the Sutra2 explanation. I am giving approx 50 min of this DVD here. So, Speech3-Part1 to Part5 mean, DVD3, first 50 min. Hear with loud speakers. Best wishes.
