The Fourfold Yoga Ii
The Fourfold Yoga – Part II
Union via Wisdom ( Jnana Yoga )
Jnana means Wisdom & Jnana Yoga means Union with the Divine via Wisdom.
Wisdom has been defined as organised Life. Wisdom and knowledge are different. Wisdom is a special kind of knowledge. What is the use of knowing everything if one doesn’t know the Self ? Knowledge of the Absolute Self alone is Wisdom. ( Sa Vidya Tan Mathir Yaya ).
The Quantum Field Theory
Quantum Mechanics postulate that the finest state of matter is the Vaccum State. The universal sea of matter exist in the Vaccum State. It is defined as the Field of all possibilities. This Vaccum State of the Quantum Field
corresponds to the Indestructible Being of transcendental philosophy.
Matter was studied and pursued till one day it vanished into energy. De Broglie’s Matter-Wave Hypothesis postulates that the electron is both a particle and a wave. This wave like nature of matter has taken Physics into the realm of Metaphysics, which hath already declared that matter is a form of Energy and Energy is a form of Consciousness.
The Sevenfold Chord of Being ( The Septenary Principles )
The Universal Substance, by which all this is pervaded, manifests with Its septenary principles with Matter as the lowest term and pure Being as the highest.
Matter ( Annam )
Life ( Prana )
Mind ( Mana )
Supermind ( Vijnana )
Existence ( Sat )
Consciousness ( Chit )
Bliss ( Ananda )
These are what the ancient sages meant by the sevenfold mode of cosmic existence, the septenary principles through which the Universal expresses itself.
These, then, are the seven colours of the light of Divine Consciousness, the seven rays of the Infinite, and by them the Spirit has filled in the canvass of his own selfexistence conceptually extended, woven of the objective warp of Space & the subjective woof of Time, the myriad wonders of his self-creation, great, simple & symmetrical in its primal laws and vast framings.The Light, the Sound is One;their action is sevenfold. ( Aurobindo )
How to overcome the Ego
All knowledge is threefold (” Thraigunya Vishaya Veda “). In Freudian Psycho-analysis we have three impulses, Id, Ego and Supergo. The Vedantic Satwa, Rajas and Thamas correspond to these impulses.
The mind is always gripped by these three impulses. Sometimes we are Rajasic ( worldly ) and go after wealth. When intense anger and other negative emotions grip us, we are Thamasic. When divine qualities like Love and Peace influence us, we are Satwic ( divine ).
The Ego with its ten heads ( symbolised as the ten-headed Ravana ) is the major block in attaining Self_Actualisation. The ten heads of the Ego are Lust,Anger,Pride, Avarice, Sloth, Covetousness, Attachment, Mind, Intellect, Conceit & Egoistic Mentality. Only when the ten heads of the Ego are removed can we hope to get Self-Realisation. ( Symbolically only when the Ravana in us is destroyed ).
When we do our yoga, we will be assailed by three type of Ego. Rajasic ( wordly ), Thamasic ( bestial ) and Satwic ( noble ). In order to overcome the three types of Ego, we are given certain commandments.
” Ma the Sanghostha karmani ” – (Let there be not in you any attachment to inaction. ) This commandment is given so that we can overcome the Thamasic ( bestial ) ego.
” Ma Karma Phala Heturbhoo ” – (“Dont expect any reward”) This commandment is given to protect us from the Rajasic ( wordly ) ego, which always expects rewards for work done.
“Ubhe Sukruta Dushkrute ” ( “Be beyond good and evil ” ) This commandment is given to us to overcome the Satwic Ego, for one should not hang on to Punya ( divine merit ).
In other words, during the process of Yoga we will be assailed by all sorts of negative thoughts. Our aim is to identify with the Source of all thought, the Self. We will find, as we progress on the path of yoga, that these negative thoughts leave us slowly and steadily. Conquering our negative aspect is not easy. The negative elements in man are the true villains. Alone, powerful, cruel are the dark and dreadful forces that profit from the reign of Night and Ignorance and they dont want any change in the body. We have to annihilate them one by one.
In tragic life, God wot
No villains need be, passions spin the plot
We are betrayed by what is false within !
The entire Vedic wisdom is contained in one word ” Transcend “.
Transcend both pain & sorrow, transcend the triune attributes of Nature.
Transcend negativity !.
More information about Transcendental Philosophy & Yoga can be had from http://www.astrologiavedica.com/html/yogamain.htm
We are always confronted by the negative qualities. Perfection has to be worked out, harmony has to be established. Ignorance, limitation, sorrow, – these are the negative qulities as pitted against Knowledge, Infintiy & Bliss. These negative qualities are merely the first terms of the formula – unintelligible, till we have worked out the wider terms and reintepreted the formulary. They are merely the initial discords of the Musician’s harmony. To rise from the Negative to the Positive, from Ignorace to Divine Knowledge, from limitation to the Illimitable, from sorrow to Bliss Infinite, from Matter to revealed Spirit, is Yoga. To achieve this end for ourselves and for our brethren is the aim of our Yogic practice.
- ( Aurobindo)
Wise men like Ramana Maharshi advises us to annihilate the Mind. For it is that which gives you pleasure that gives you pain. The root cause of all bondage and all sorrow is Mind ! Annihilate the mind by thinking on its real nature. The true Source of the Mind is the “I”, the primal Thought. Because of the Primal Thought, the mind exists! He advises us to enquire into the nature of the Self. The thought ” Who am I ” will lead
us to the annihilation of the mind. This thought ” Who am I ” is like the the burning log which will burn all other logs!
I am pure Being, by whom all things be !
The Negative Method in the Upanishads
In the Upanishads Reality is defined by a series of negatives because the Negative is less limiting than the Positive.
This is known as the Neti ( “Not this ” ) method. We deny the Finite in order to affirm the Infinite.
We say this is my shirt. That means that I am not the shirt. Similarly we declare my hands, my legs etc which means I am not the hands or legs. Then who am I ? The body is mine, therefore ” I ” am not the body. Then who is this “I” ? We therefore apply Intuitive Logic and deny everything. All these are mine, but I am not they. A state will come, during this process of denial, that I cannot deny one thing. What is this thing which I cannot deny? That which I cannot deny is “I”, the Self, the Consciousness !
The finite is negated to affirm the Infinite.
The Superconscient as the Base
The Superconscious Mind and not the subconscious is the base of all Life.
Let us analyse why the Superconscient is considered as the foundation.
Deep within the five sheaths which compose our being – the material, the the vital,the mental, the gnostic & the blissful – is the Absoulte Self , the divine component in us which Jesus referred to as the Kingdom of
Heaven ( ” The Kingdom of Heaven is within you and whomsover shall know himself shall find it ” ).
The dreadful forces or ” hostile forces” as they are known – lust, greed, anger, jealousy, sloth & covetousness – lie in the dark caverns of the Subconscious mind. Wisdom declares that they are our inner enemies.
Man houses dangerous forces in his house
The Titan, the Fury and the Djinn
Lay in the subsconscient’s cavern pit
And the Beast moved in his antre den
The Enemy means who ? Our inner enemies which lie in the Subconscient!
Socrates is poisoned. Jesus crucified. Bruno burnt alive. This phenomenon is known in Yogic Psychology as the downward pull of the mind, when the dark forces that lie in the subconscient triumph ( in the collective
subsconscient ). The reverse phenomenon, the upward pull of the mind is that which pulls us from death to immortality and realises in this body of earth the luminous Kingdom of Heaven ( Self-Actualisation ).
The four faculties of the Intuitive Reason – Revealation, Inspiration, Intuition and Illumination are all the properties of the Superconscious Mind and can be experienced if we make ourselves pure and make our mind still (” Be still and know that I am God ” – Bible ).
The aim of Yoga is pull ourselves out of the darkness of the subconscient into the Light of the Superconscient and to receive the intuitions and the revealations of the Self and ultimately lead us to Self_Actualisation. The aim of Nature is to effect Super-Nature. The aim of Yoga is Self, is
Self-Actualisation.
The great battle between good and evil which was depicted by the poets ( Iliad, Odyssey, Ramayana,Mahabharata etc ) is actually the great war happening in the human bosom between the conflicting forces of good and evil, ever locked in eternal combat. Utlimately the positive elements – Truth, Dharma, Peace, Love & the Discriminative Intellect will win over the negative elements in us and we will be transmuted into the Divine Man. This is the ultimate formula of Wisdom – the divine transmutation of Man!
Yoga as Divine Alchemy
Alchemy is the science of transmuting baser metals into gold. Yoga is divine alchemy as it transmutes base metals ( our human nature ) into gold ( divine nature ).
Scientifically, Alchemy is possible. By proton bombardment, the atomic number of any element can be increased to form another element. So, theoretically, any element can be converted into Aurum ( gold ).
Alchemy is symbolic and no physical transmutation is meant here. Divine Alchemy is the ultimate formula wherein we are transmuted into the Divine Being-Knowledge-Bliss!
This is what the ancient Yogis meant by Transmutation, Transformation & Transfiguration !

Yoga-Pants-Women – Choosing the Best Bottoms for Your Yoga Workout
Yoga is a discipline that originated in India but is now popular all over the world, particularly as a form of exercise. The benefits that the yoga movements and positions confer, such as improving circulation, strengthening all areas of the body, aiding in weight loss, promoting relaxation, and increasing flexibility, make up a major reason for why so many people have taken it up as their regular exercise regimen now. The active attire that most people wear during this type of workout is specially designed for yoga, such as yoga-pants-women.
This is because practicing yoga requires special movements that are not found in other types of exercise programs. There is a lot of flexibility involved. There are also various positions and poses, such as different standing-up positions, ones where you have to bend down and over, positions where you have to be on all four, etc. Because of these different postures that you have to assume, you should wear clothing, especially pants, that allows for such flexible movements and that will not be subject to wears and tears so easily. If you are looking for yoga-pants-women active wear, there are many different types and styles to choose from.
Women yoga bottoms offer a range of coverage for your leg area. There are full-length yoga pants that cover the entire length of your legs. Shorts provide the least coverage. Cropped and capri yoga pants fall in between, with the length falling around the knees. Depending on your preference, you may be more comfortable showing more skin or less skin. Therefore, you could decide which kind of yoga-pants-women clothing you want to buy based on that criteria. You might also prefer to buy one that provides the least coverage, i.e. shorts, for the summer, in addition to one that provides the most coverage, i.e. full-length, for the winter. Either that, or you might want one that you can wear all-year round, such as capri yoga pants.
In addition to coverage, you might also want to choose the pants you wear based on how comfortable it is for everyday use if you are planning on wearing the yoga-pants-women bottoms for other activities besides exercising, including just lounging around the house. Otherwise, if you are planning on only wearing it while performing the yoga workout, then it might be a good idea to place more importance on how comfortable the pants feel while working out and how freely you are able to move in them.
Does Abercrombie make yoga pants or stretch track pants? Are the fleece pants they sell the same thing?
looking for the women’s yoga pants/lounge pants by abercrombie but don’t see anything like that on the website. Not just sweatpants like Victoria’s Secret pink. These are more for working out and are form fitting.
hello! id be glad to help!!
the fleece pants are so comfortable but ARE not like yoga pants. they are very thick – something you wouldnt want to work out in. unfortunately they do not have yoga pants. you can go to dicks sporting goods and find SOO MANY GOOD yoga pants to choose from or even target.

Book Review: Celebrating the Seasons, Daily Spiritual Readings for the Christian Year by Robert Atwell
For daily readings, you will find few better books
There is a holiness about this book of readings, “Celebrating the Seasons: Daily Spiritual Readings for the Christian Year.” I bought my copy at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco in 2000. Here are some of my writings about that event, and I call it an event since the book has meaning to me:
“January 11, 2000. I visited Grace Cathedral Gift Shop and bought this since the 12 days of Christmas are over. I was going to get a new pew copy of The Book of Common Prayer. I ducked into the Cathedral–while waiting for a friend–this turned out well…God loves a sinner and seeks the lost sheep and the lamb.”
You can see I was in a spiritual state of mind, and discovered that the readings enhance my sense of the liturgical year. So the compiler and editors intended. The publisher is Canturbury Press in England that the compiler is an Anglican priest working in the Diocese of London named Robert Atwell. He has a Benedictine bent, and that tells you something of the nature of these selections.
They will move the reader, and inspire. So it is, for here is a word or two from the introduction about the book’s intent: “Beginning afresh each year on Advent Sunday, the Church has crafted a rhythm of prayer and worship that continues to shape much of Christian life and thought.” The readings aid in that exercise and manner of life. This short quote from Ephrem of Syria on Christmas, since as I write this we are celebrating the Christmas season.
“At this feast of the nativity let each person wreathe the door of his heart so that the Holy Spirit may delight in that door, enter in and take up residence there; then by the Spirit we will be made holy.”
Here are some of the titles to these short, daily readings in the Christmas season. They give an idea of the kind of readings offered in this keeper and daily book of meditation and thoughts: “A Reading from a sermon of Augustine;” “A Reading from a letter of Athanasius of Alexandria;” for today, January 4, “A Reading from a sermon o Bernard of Clairvaux;” “A Reading from the ‘Catechetical Orations’ of Gregory of Nyssa;” “A Reading from ‘The Light of Christ’ by Evelyn Underhill.” There are many more, a kind of religious education of their own to be read again the following year. This excellent compilation (and I am sure you will agree should you purchase and use the book) is useful year after year.
You may think some of the things said obvious, but really they are necessary things to say such as this from The Epiphany date, “A Reading from a sermon of Peter Chrysologos, Bishop of Ravenna.” “In the mystery of our Lord’s incarnation there were clear indications of his eternal Godhead. Yet the great events we celebrate today disclose and reveal in different ways the fact that God himself took a human body.” You’ll like the story, too, as a prospect for such a book as this.
There are words about loving God, who is “…O Lord adorable an loveable…” There are words about opening one’s heart to God through the psalms, “…receive Christ, unlock your soul to him, offer him a welcome in your mind…” There are words about Christs offering and bringing to the world love that reconciles and transcends, “…never stops wor4king to bring it back into being through love, inviting it back by grace…” I find the opportunity in this review to find more Epiphany statements, but you get the idea. These are food for thought, food for meditation.
The words by the spiritual and religious writers are good words, and those inclined to matters of the Christian faith and spirit will find some direction for the seasons, like this from Lent as part of “A Reading from ‘Holy Living’ by Jeremy Taylor.” “God is especially present in the consciences of all persons, good and bad, by way of testimony and judgement…” These are easier to understand than one would think, and just the right length for daily reading and thought.
Notes in the back of the book give the page number for selections, their reference under each category of season. For those who will want to study the book more, or search out readings by particular figures, there is a listing of people (John Donne, Gertrude of Helfta, George Herbert, and of course many others) with the pages numbers where they can be found. There is other material at the back of the book, interesting also and probably something a reader will want to look at if only for curiousities sake.
There is a companion to this title, compiled by the same man. For those who like this title, take a look at it. “Celebrating the Saints: Devotional Readings for Saints’ Days.” The two books together make a set, and having them for daily reading makes for a full measure of meditation.
This reviewer recommends the title “Celebrating the Seasons” because it is food for thought, with many excerpts of inspirational and spiritual value for the Christian. The book itself is easy to use, and contains a variety of religious writers throughout the Church seasons of the year. A helpful title when keeping the rhythms of the Church year, this is a handsome edition for someone’s library and daily use.

What’s the best book on meditation for beginers?
I’m trying out alternate therapies for my anxiety attacks.
What would be the best way to start?
Meditation is simply learning to live in the moment, when nothing distracts you and when you are not tied to the past or anxious about the future. In meditation you become peacefully aware of your real self. The more you use it, the more aware you become. When you learn to live life for each moment, to enjoy and appreciate life to the fullest at that moment, you suddenly become impervious to the myriad of doubts and fears that you’ve lived with all your life.
There are a couple of simple techniques for silent meditation as well. You do not have to sit on the floor. You can sit with erect back on a chair. Many people say try for 15 minutes twice a day. I say start with a simpler goal – 5 minutes twice per day. The benefits include stress management and relaxation which help the body, increased mindfulness and focus, and increased energy. The mindfulness can be a benefit to your spiritual life, but meditation also has “non-spiritual” physiological benefits. Here are two easy techniques:
Breathing meditation – 1) Check posture. 2) Close your eyes and relax. 3) Focus on your breath entering and leaving your body. 4) Count breaths mentally one to four. Repeat. 5) Don’t fight a wandering mind, but calmly direct it back to task. 6) Sit for a minute afterwards.
“Mantra” technique (choose a personal “calm” word or phrase that you will repeat in your meditation – I use the nonsectarian “Be One. Be Love. Be Peace.”) – 1) and 2) as above in the Breathing meditation. 3) Listen to your breathing and let it relax you with each breath. 4) Once you are relaxed, mentally “hear” your “calm” word or phrase in your mind. Let it repeat in your mind. 5) Don’t fight a wandering mind, but calmly direct it back to task. 6) Sit for a minute afterwards.

Yoga To The People Yoga to the People — Berkeley, CA
The word “Yoga” drives from Indian Sanskrit “yug” or “yuj” which means harmony and accordance. It is a traditional mental and physical discipline, originated in India, which helps people to develop their potentiality. The essences of yoga lies in attaining mental peace, improving concentration powers, harmony in relationship and a relaxed state of living. Yoga postures are easy to learn and improve their capability in psychology, emotion, spirit and physiology. In recent years, Yoga becomes a popular exercise, especially for women because it has many benefits.
The most important benefit of yoga is physical and mental therapy. Study shows that yoga can reduce the catabolic process of cell deterioration and slow down the aging process because it could keep your body in clean, flexible and well lubricated states. And yoga is a good mental therapy which could influence all system and organs of the body according to medical experts. It is a preventive and curative therapy.

And then, people with high blood pressure, back pain and respiration problem could get many benefits from yoga. For high blood pressure people, yoga could pay a positive role in treatment. Under regular practice of yoga, people with respiration problem could gradually control their breath. In brief, yoga is conducive to people’s health.
But yoga has its own features. You could abide by some rules when you practice yoga. At first, you should choose the best time to go yoga. Generally speaking, people go yoga in the morning, afternoon and at noon. Actually, you could practice it all the day if only your stomach is empty. In other words, you shouldn’t practice it within three hours after meals. But yogi believes that four to six o’clock in the morning is the best time.
And then, place plays an important role. You’d better to practice it in a clean and comfortable room with sufficient space for stretching yourself. Green plants, flowers and soft music can help you to relax nerves. An open area without gale, pollution and strong sunlight is also a great choice to practice yoga.
Third, some props are necessarily. Yoga mat has a cushioning action and help you to keep balance. For beginners, yoga rope, yoga strap, yoga socks, and yoga block are other necessities to practice some difficult postures. By the way, you could purchase a yoga mat on online stores because they usually sell yoga mat with other props. It is easy and convenient for you to prepare for the learning.
Fourth, the cloth should be loose and soft. The cotton material is the best choice. When you practice it, you should take off shoes, socks (except for in winter), watch, glass, belt and other accouterments.
Fifth, it isn’t a good habit to practice yoga twenty minutes before and after taking a shower. It could hurt your health and consume your energy if you take a shower before practice it. The blood circulation could speed up after take a shower. In this way, it could increase your blood pressure, and add the burden on heart. The best way is taking a cold shower after practice it.
Yogic theory and practice increases self-knowledge which is a spiritual sort pertaining to grasp something about the nature. You could get lost in a rush of activities and push of desires after you are at peace, as a being and at rest state.
Why do people do Yoga? This has got to be the activity for sad people.?
I understand that everyone has different preferences, but why Yoga? Most of the Yogers that I have been around are house cat/vegan/democratic/Subaru driving freaks.
I got my Masters in Yoga & I’m not sad….most of the time.
