Yoga Sutra is beyond theism and Atheism , It’s a scientific discovery gifted by world scholar Patanjali.

First, yoga is not a religion—remember that. Yoga is not Hindu, it is not Mohammedan. Yoga is a pure science just like mathematics, physics or chemistry. Physics is not Christian, physics is not Buddhist. If Christians have discovered the laws of physics, then too physics is not Christian. It is just accidental that Christians have come to discover the laws of physics. But physics remains just a science. Yoga is a science—it is just an accident that Hindus discovered it. It is not Hindu. It is a pure mathematics of the inner being. So a Mohammedan can be a yogi, a Christian can be a yogi, a Jaina, a Buddhist can be a yogi. 

Remembering Al-Bīrūnī the Muslim scientist and scholar who translated a commentary on the Yoga Sutra a thousand years ago.

He once said in his works that “ Yoga Sutra is the only subject that gives stepwise approach to study the mystry of ones being scientifically. The basic requirement for student is to have scientific thought process without which it is just another book of rituals. “

Abū Rayḥān Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad Al-Bīrūnī lived and wrote at the time that the Yoga Sutras were hitting their high water mark. There was a period of about four to six hundred years, from about 700-1200, give or take, that lots of people were reading the Yoga Sutras, writing commentaries and referring to it and we can extrapolate from that it really was a widely respected and widely known tradition before its decline, which began around the year 1200.

Alberuni was right in the middle of that period, he lived around the year 1000 and he was this brilliant Muslim who was kidnapped from the court where he was serving as a court scientist  and court philosopher, in a country close to the Caspian Sea, way, way west of India. He was kidnapped from there by Mahmoud of Ghazni, the great Muslim empire builder whose power base was in Afghanistan. Mahmoud put Alberuni into his own court, which was a moving court because Mahmoud was always invading places, usually India.

Alberuni spent most of his time in what would be today’s Punjab, in the northwestern part of India. He was there, for about twelve years, during which time he learned Sanskrit, and, because he was himself so interested in astronomy and the hard sciences, the Indian cognates of Muslim astronomy and science. He then wrote a really important work called Indika, which comprises a historical ethnography of India, written in the eleventh century by a very learned and sympathetic scholar.

In Indika, he says that “I with my own hands have translated an Indian work called, the Yoga Sutras.” That statement tantalized people over the centuries because that translation was nowhere to be found. Until, in 1922, when a French Islamicist named Louis Massignon found this lost translation by Alberuni into Arabic, of the Yoga Sutras, scribbled into the margins of another manuscript in an Istanbul archive.

Then, in the 1970s and 1980s, a couple named Schlomo Pines and Tuvia Gelblum, brought out a full English-language translation of Alberuni’s commentary. What Alberuni wrote wasn’t just a commentary, it was actually a paraphrasing of the Yoga Sutras, although it leaves out the entire fourth and book and it jumbles the order of a lot of the verses, but it’s clearly Pantajali’s work. So it gives an interesting window into how the world scientists were understanding the Yoga Sutras in that period.

So in a way, Alberuni was a pioneer for all Yoga Sutras translators, because he was the first, or perhaps the second person to ever translate the Yoga Sutras into a foreign language. (There is another translation found in Java, Indonesia, that dates from about the same time as Alberuni. It was written in old Javanese, and it too, doesn’t have the fourth book in it,). This tells us that the Yoga Sutras was a cosmopolitan work a thousand years ago, that then fell into relative obscurity, and has become a cosmopolitan work once again, but only in the last one hundred years or so.

Yoga Sutras clearly demonstrates the methods to unlearn the false Dogmas of orthodox traditions and malpractices related to a religion through the process of decipline, genuine contemplation by surrendering to self ” and learn the existential law of ones being through relentless practices.

Yoga Tourism Can Re-brand Himachal

by SANJAY DUTTA  JULY 15, 2017

Manali: Each tourist destination in the world, be it Switzerland, Kerala or others, have over the years developed a ‘Brand Name’ for themselves. While Switzerland is known for its European Splendour, Kerala is known as God’s Own Country. In fact, Himachal is Switzerland of India. However, it requires to be marketed smartly, especially when Uttarakand is competing with Himachal. Being the birth place of yoga, Himachal needs to reposition its branding.

Yoga is popular across the world as a fitness, therapeutic practice and also influencer of positive health from mind and body perspective.

On the contrary Yoga is a simple science expressed in the form of philosophy which emerged from the six ancient Indian schools. It is neither theistic nor atheistic. It was one of the many methods, rather paths to reach the supreme. Maharshi Patanjali compiled these methods of his practice in to Yoga Sutra’s about 2500 Years ago while he was residing in Guptakashi one of the town in the Himalayas.

This science of understanding the mechanics of the entire human system appeared in deep meditative minds of seven celebrated sages who are today known as saptarishis, most of them were either located or lived in Himachal Pradesh during most of their lives. Sage Vishwamitra, the seer of sacred Gayatri Mantra, Yajnyavalkya Rishi, the author of classical Hindu yoga text “ Yoga yajnyavalkya”, Sage Kapila, Vasista Rishi, Sage Jamadagni, Manu Maharshi and many sages resided in Himachal during their lifetime. We still can find ancient temples associated with these enlightened beings in the Himalayan ranges.

Yogic science is not about Yoga class that you go through about how to flex your body. It is much more deeper, it’s a process of raising oneself to grace or to the supreme consciousness.

Vishwas Tengse, yoga practitioner, researcher, therapist, teacher associated with Maha Arogya Dhama at Gokarna, in a village near Manali, for over a year has been practicing and researching about yogic practices for tapping cognitive memory through Yogic methods.

Vishwas Tengse spoke to Hill Post, “ Yoga is a lifestyle, a Lifestyle of balance that involves self discipline and a self enquiry process for enriching ones own self with the help of integrated methods of perceptual and conceptual science from the rich legacy of Ancient India.

He added, “there are various reasons involved, primary reason being the nature rich environment that helped the sages with speedy results through the integrated perceptual and conceptual pracitces involved in Yogic science. Key aspect of Yoga focusses on breath, that contains vital energy of life. Yogic science calls it as ‘Prana’. The Himalayan region is proven to be a rich reservoir of ‘Prana’. It is because of ‘Prana’ in the environment that every tourist unknowingly feels elated and rejuvenated after vacationing in the Himalayan ranges.”mountains.

He further revealed that the vast size, huge altitude ranges, complex topography and mystical nature of the Himalayas did help the ancient Indian sages in tapping cognitive memory which guided them to merge the self with pure consciousness. Our cognitive memories are not the function of the sense organs, mind or will. They are the result of recognising our ageless and timeless nature. It is attained through the practice of meditation, still observation, deep sleep, food and sadhanas.

Vishwas suggested that the tourism industry of Himachal Pradesh can leverage these precious nature and yoga heritage of the region to spread awareness in helping the world. It would also help in promoting responsible Yoga tourism in the region.

Yoga Tourism can influence positive health and heal psychosomatic disorders. Ayurveda and herbal treatments withYoga as a parallel therapy for many modern lifestyle related ailments can enrich the human personality by involving various cognitive memory tapping techniques, said Vishwas.

Human being is naturally programmed to be part of institutional process; those are well integrated with human instincts. Not to blame anyone here because it is a god gifted intoxication. It is impossible for even so called intellectuals to figure out whether they have been drugged or not, because wondrously this pride has a power to take the position of human intellect, thereby creating illusion in their mind leaving them deluded. Identifying this diseased state of mind is tougher than tough. Our education system plays a great role in seeding this drug right from day one. Our society helps to nourish this seed, and our religions help in boosting the growth of this toxic plant. Cure is possible by radical redesign of thinking process or rather it is better understood as thoughtlessness. As It is only possible by a painful effort of self-enquiry through choice-less awareness. One has to be foolish to be ignorant in this era of information.

Ultimate Result is of human pride is below - Latest Study 

Era of 'biological annihilation' is underway, scientists warn.

HIGHLIGHTS

• A new study says thousands of animal species are in precipitous decline.
• The current decline in animal population is part of the "ongoing sixth mass extinction".
• This is happening mainly due to human destruction of animal habitats.

NEW YORK: From the common barn swallow to the exotic giraffe, thousands of animal species are in precipitous decline, a sign that an irreversible era of mass extinction is underway, new research finds.

The study, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, calls the current decline in animal populations a "global epidemic" and part of the "ongoing sixth mass extinction" caused in large measure by human destruction of animal habitats. The previous five extinctions were caused by natural phenomena.

Gerardo Ceballos, a researcher at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in Mexico City, acknowledged that the study is written in unusually alarming tones for an academic research paper. "It wouldn't be ethical right now not to speak in this strong language to call attention to the severity of the problem," he said.

Ceballos emphasized that he and his co-authors, Paul R Ehrlich and Rodolfo Dirzo, both professors at Stanford University, are not alarmists, but are using scientific data to back up their assertions that significant population decline and possible mass extinction of species all over the world may be imminent, and that both have been underestimated by many other scientists.

The study's authors looked at reductions in a species' range a result of factors like habitat degradation, pollution and climate change, among others and extrapolated from that how many populations have been lost or are in decline, a method that they said is used by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

They found that about 30 percent of all land vertebrates mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians are experiencing declines and local population losses. In most parts of the world, mammal populations are losing 70 percent of their members because of habitat loss.

In particular, they cite cheetahs, which have declined to around 7,000 members; Borneo and Sumatran orangutans, of which fewer than 5,000 remain; populations of African lions, which have declined by 43 percent since 1993; pangolins, which have been "decimated"; and giraffes, whose four species now number under 100,000 members.

The study defines populations as the number of individuals in a given species in a 10,000-square-kilometer unit of habitat, known as a quadrat.

Jonathan Losos, a biology professor at Harvard, said that he was not aware of other papers that have used this method, but that it is "a reasonable first pass" at estimating the extent of species decline and population loss.

Losos also noted that giving precise estimates of wildlife populations is difficult, in part because scientists do not always agree on what defines a population, which makes the question inherently subjective.

Despite those issues, Losos said, "I think it's a very important and troubling paper that documents that the problems we have with biodiversity are much greater than commonly thought."

The authors of the paper suggest that previous estimates of global extinction rates have been too low, in part because scientists have been too focused on complete extinction of a species. Two vertebrate species are estimated to go extinct every year, which the authors wrote "does not generate enough public concern," and lends the impression that many species are not severely threatened, or that mass extinction is a distant catastrophe.

Conservatively, scientists estimate that 200 species have gone extinct in the past 100 years; the "normal" extinction rate over the past 2 million years has been that two species go extinct every 100 years because of evolutionary and other factors.

Rather than extinctions, the paper looks at how populations are doing: the disappearance of entire populations, and the decrease of the number of individuals within a population. Overall, they found this phenomenon is occurring globally, but that tropical regions, which have the greatest biodiversity, are experiencing the greatest loss in numbers, and that temperate regions are seeing higher proportions of population loss.

Ehrlich, who rose to prominence in the 1960s after he wrote "The Population Bomb," a book that predicted the imminent collapse of humanity because of overpopulation, said that he sees a similar phenomenon in the animal world as a result of human activity.
"There is only one overall solution, and that is to reduce the scale of the human enterprise," he said. "Population growth and increasing consumption among the rich is driving it."

Introduction 

Dr. Bhushan Jathar, a well-known Physician, Ayurvedic doctor practicing for past 60 Years in Gokarna. He is considered an outstanding figure in the history of Ancient Indian Sciences. A News Article once called him “father of eastern medicine” in the region in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field as the founder of revolutionary medicinal therapy through his immense experience and intense experiments. He is a public speaker, social influencer, an economist, thinker, and teacher. As per him a doctor’s responsibility is not restricted to his own clinical practice, but it is also towards influencing social harmony from healthy education, balanced economy, organised infrastructure, and overall wellbeing of the society he resides in. His teachings are on thought processes concerning humankind. In his early life he was groomed to be a Vedic priest but later received his education in Ayurveda, which lead him to towards helping society to evolve.

Dr. Jathar is commonly portrayed as the paragon of ancient Indian sciences and credited with coining his own methods in Physiopsycic therapy. He is also credited with greatly advancing the systematic study of human psyche in close equation with matter and consciousness through his clinical experiments, summing up the medical knowledge of previous schools, prescribing practices for physicians through his works.

The Society, which benefited from his treatment methodology and teachings portray him as a “ Kind, dignified, holy doctor “. We like to describe him as an “ Ideal physician of experience, a man of great degree of common sense and wisdom ”.

Dr. Bhushanji’s theory

 As a Medical practitioner he has seen both modern and ancient practices, He can be credited as the first person to believe that diseases are caused naturally, not because of superstition and gods. Although belonging to Vedic Society and associated with Temple Authority as trustee, he separated the discipline of medicine from religion and its rituals. He believes in the argument that diseases are a not a punishment inflicted by Gods but rather the product of environmental factors, diet, and living habits. There is not a single mention of a mystical illness in the entire of his corpus.

As per him, Ayurveda is not only an herbal medicine but it has and can have the power of curing most ailments related to humankind. It needs further research in order to blend its benefits along with modern allopathic medicine along with various other healing methodologies available in the world to create one integrated approach within medical education, science, research and medicinal practice.

Dr.Bhushanji’s Methodology is derived from the thought that a complete knowledge of the nature of the body is necessary for medicine and treatment. Nature he means physical, physiological, psychological aspects involving Body and Mind. Bhushanji’s medicinal techniques are notable for its strict professionalism, discipline and rigorous practice. We observed his treatment procedures always are well defined, honest, calm, understanding and serious. He follows detailed diagnostics of his patients. He believes that a doctor has to be healthy first in order to treat his patients. He maintains his regime of cleanliness, self-psychophysical fitness and continuous knowledge upgrade through experiments and studies.

Face and Palm Therapy © (FPT)

FPT is one of the products of Dr. Bhushanji’s relentless experiments. It is a psychic practice that can be used as a quick tranquilizer, a pace maker for psychophysical healing, a regular practice to influence holistic health and as a vital tool to raise your consciousness to higher levels.

Anatomy and physiology

Modern neurophysiologist have been able to demonstrate an obvious relationship between the body and brain which was first recognized by the ancient sages thousands of years ago. Using stimulating electrodes to probe the brain surface, neurosurgeons have shown that each part of the body is precisely mapped out along the surface of the central gyrus or fold of the sensory motor cortex of the brain.

The brain is a physical mediator of consciousness, linking mind, body, and emotions in to one harmonious unit. Neurosurgeon’s treat the body by stimulating the brain. But the practices of FPT begin at the other end of nerve pathway by heightening the awareness of the face and palm in order to stimulate the brain. The progressive movements of awareness through palm and face induces physical relaxation, but also clears all nerve pathways to the brain, both those governing the physical activity and those concerned with incoming information. At the same time we make the total run through the brain surface from inside out. In this way FPT relaxes the mind by simple and easy methods.

The Cortical Homunculus or “ Little Man”

Researches have named this neural map or hologram of the physical body existing within the cerebral white matter, the sensory and motor homunculus or “ Little Man”. All the body parts through which the awareness passes during rotation of consciousness can be located there, for example: Right hand thumb, second finger, third finger, forth finger, firth finger, palm of the hand, back of the hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, armpits, right side, right waist, right thigh, kneecap, calf muscle, ankle, heel, sole, big toe, second toe, third toe, fourth toe, fifth toe.

However, in terms of brain tissue, importance has been placed upon the hands, fingers, lips and nose which occupy areas far in excess of the relative size and dimensions of those parts in the physical body and it is these same areas which receive added emphasis during cyclic or random rotation of consciousness in FPT. Its is observed that these areas receive intense emphasis even without rotation by just being aware of the warmth feeling of your breath while in FPT.

These areas are most as large as the space allotted to the entire remainder of the body from the wrists to the toes.

Cross Section of the brain

By Physical standards, the motor homunculus is a little man of grotesque proportions, with enormously enlarged hands, fingers and facial features. He exists as a neuronal abstraction of physical body, operating the realm of neurotransmission and conscious electrical energy flowing throughout the central nervous system and the network of nadis, which form the pranic body.

Now we can begin to understand why the position of hand close to face is so important in this practice of FPT. Once this position is established it shouldn’t be altered, as it induces flow of energy within the neural circuit of the motor homunculus. This flow is accompanied by a subjective experience of release or “ Letting go”, as spontaneous dissociation of Consciousness from the sensory and motor channels of experience occurs. Familiarity and daily repetition of this practice exerts a rapid inturning effect upon the normally fragmented and dissipated awareness.

This state of withdrawal of sense consciousness is an important part of FPT, which acts as a prelude to further advanced practice stages.

How Face and Palm Therapy © (FPT) helps in restoring health

It is impossible to ignore the connection between the discoveries of modern brain researchers and those of the enlightened sages like Dr. Bhushanji who evolved the practice of FPT. Of course Dr. Bhushanji devised this powerful technique merely as a means of alleviating diseases, But later practitioners realized this as a way of attaining higher consciousness by expanding and liberating individual awareness from its fixation within the physical body and its sensory modalities, towards the more subtle pranic, psychic and spiritual dimensions underlying our gross existence.

However, in the context of modern man suffering from stress- related diseases, it is sufficient to recognize that these originate out of excessive identification of the psyche with the soma (material body), through the medium of the sensory channels leading to nervous depletion and even breakdown. In FPT, this destructive psychosomatic tendency is effectively alleviated by the opposite somatopsychic route. The Psychosomatic imbalance is restored spontaneously due to liberation of nervous energy, which is withdrawn from the sensory channels and modalities as this special state is attained. This energy is redirected for healing and rejuvenation of overtaxed tissues, glands and organs.

Helpful in faster recovery of many psychosomatic diseases like stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, heart disease, hypertension, respiratory ailments, gastrointestinal disturbances, migraine and tension headaches, pelvic pain, impotence, frigidity, dermatitis, and ulcers

Psychosomatic disorder

Psychosomatics disorder, also called Psychophysiological disorder, a condition in which psychological stresses adversely affects physiological (Somatic) functioning to the point of distress. It is a condition of dysfunction or structural damage in bodily organs through inappropriate activation of the involuntary nervous system and the glands of internal secretion. Thus the psychosomatic symptom emerges as a physiological concomitant of an emotional state. In a state of rage, for example, the angry persons blood pressure is likely to be elevated and his pulse and respiratory rate to be increased. When the anger passes, the heightened physiological processes usually subside. If the person has persistent inhibited aggression (Chronic rage), which he is unable to express overtly, the emotional state remains unchanged, though unexpressed in the overt behavior and the physiological symptoms associated with the angry state persist. With time, such a person becomes aware of the physiological dysfunction. Very often he develops concern over the resulting physical signs and symptoms, but he denies or is unaware of the emotions that have evoked the symptoms.

Psychosomatic disorders may affect almost any part of the body. Though they are usually found in systems not under voluntary control. Research by psychiatrist Franz Alexander and his colleagues at the Chicago Institute of Psychoanalysis in the 1950s and 1960s suggested that specific personality traits and specific conflicts may create particular psychosomatic illnesses, but it is generally believed that the form a disorder takes is due to individual vulnerabilities. Emotional stress is assumed to aggravate existing illnesses, and there is some evidence that it may precipitate illnesses not usually considered to be psychosomatic (e.g., cancer, diabetes) in individuals predisposed to them.

Psychosomatic disorders resulting from stress may include hypertension, respiratory ailments, gastrointestinal disturbances, migraine and tension headaches, pelvic pain, impotence, frigidity, dermatitis, and ulcers.

Many patients suffering from psychosomatic diseases respond to a combination of drug therapy, psychoanalysis, and behavior therapy. In less severe cases, patients can learn to manage stress without drugs. FPT has proven results in both the above scenarios.

Therapy Steps & Methods

Step I

It is very simple method. Patients can practice on their own after learning from an expert therapist or a doctor.

First Stage of FPT – Face Covered with Palms. Keep your Eyes Closed through the practice, observe the warmth feeling of your breath, and feel secured with your palms covering your face gently.

Step II: Release your hands, Keep your Eyes Closed, keep your breath normal and observe your breath.

Second Stage of FPT – Releasing Hand free on your Lap. Leaning back on a more comfortable chair may also work but be aware it is more likely that you will slip into drowsiness instead of practice. A ‘kneeling chair’ may also be used. There are various designs of these marketed to people suffering from back pain, and they may also be suitable for this practice.

A kneeling position with the body weight supported on a cushion or kneeling bench works well for many.

Any Comfortable posture can be adopted.

Note:

This technique needs to be practiced for minimum of 1 minute. And Release after one minute. Strictly do not hold any Mudras nor recite any Mantra’s, as this is not an extract of any Yogic, Vedic or any religious ritualistic practices. One can again practice in repetitive manner. Keep your mind Calm and body in any steady sitting posture.

            Dr. Bhushanji has derived this technique from his 60 years of experience in clinical experiments and medical practice field. Also it has been observed and its results helping in recovery and faster healing of several psychosomatic ailments have been appreciated by the society.
