The blogsite, the Vedic spectator, writes about the different yoga systems within the Vedas , karma yoga , jnana yoga , niskama karma yoga , astanga yoga , and how by adding progressions in Bhakti yoga , this leads one to the perfect state of pure Bhakti , spontaneous and unalloyed pure love of God . Yoga represents the progressive march of the soul within the material world through the process of natural social and spiritual mobility . Yoga can also be taken to mean adjustment to ones psychology . The idea is somehow our originally intended destination of our consciousness has alluded us , we find our selves locked out looking in , looking inwards helps , but ultimately spiritual yoga is about rediscovered rasa or spontaneous love and entering the land of love and spiritual varigatedness , where Divinity resides along with the supreme Goddess of fortune. Spiritual yoga and spiritual life are not about psychological issues, pe say , but adjustments bringing us back to our natural condition , back home back to Godhead, one may say .
Chapter 6: Sankhya-yoga
TEXT 47
yoginam api sarvesam
mad-gatenantar-atmana
sraddhavan bhajate yo mam
sa me yuktatamo matah
And of all yogis, he who always abides in Me with great faith, worshiping Me in transcendental loving service, is most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all.
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu , who is Krishna Himself in the mood of Srimati Radharani , has taught the world of the glories of the love that Srimati Radharani possesses , if we want to love Krishna or understand Him in His most intimate and sweetest of moods , then we must learn from Srimati Radharani . Learning from Srimati Radharani means learning from Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in this age of Kali. That is the topmost of yoga , a yoga of spontaneous love within the realms of Sri Vrndavana Dharma , without Srimati Radharani it is not learned of .
The soul , using the yoga processes , when it’s linked with increasing levels of bhakti or pure devotional moods , can free the atma from all its entanglements within the material world , billions of lives worth . Ultimately, yoga means to link with God. Goloka Vrndavana and the Vaikuntha planets are where God resides with all His associates .
Yes, The Vedic Spectator explores core themes of Vedic philosophy, viewing yoga systems as a progressive spiritual journey. It emphasizes that true yoga connects the soul (atma) to Krishna, the supreme Personality of Godhead , leaving past material entanglements behind bringing one toward spiritual abodes like Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrndavana through bhakti , pure devotion . Core Themes of Vedic Yoga and Liberation Progressive Elevation: Different yoga branches act as steps for the soul’s upward movement through material and spiritual layers. Role of Bhakti: Combining yoga disciplines with pure devotional service (bhakti) purifies the heart and cuts all material ties. The Ultimate Goal: Yoga culminates in re-establishing the living entity’s loving personal relationship with the Supreme. The Spiritual Abodes: Reaching eternal realms , of which Goloka Vrndavana is the topmost abode where God lives with His intimate associates , spontaneous love is exhibited, with awe and reverence put to one side .
The sciences of yoga .
The scientific yoga …free will , free wont , and neuron interaction.
Lord Krishna speaks about the glorious yoga system . Yoga means to link with God . To link with God, we need to know the uncoupling process , we can not be coupled with the illusions of this world if we want to understand pure trancendental knowledge. It’s like embracing a person tightly and screaming, “Let me go.” The commercial yoga groups understand very little of yoga. It’s a monetary show as far as they understand, good for money good for some fame , that’s not yoga .
Lord Krishna says this in His Bhagavad Gita.
“Everyone is forced to act helplessly according to the qualities he has acquired from the modes of material nature; therefore, no one can refrain from doing something, not even for a moment.”
Lord Krishna has defined a systematic process , from karma yoga to niskama karma yoga, then jnana yoga, then jnana sunya bhakti , this is the beginnings of much more development of the yoga of devotion process which has began to be accompanied by stronger trancendental knowledge. Trancendental knowledge also comes in various stages of development , there is in reality, no limits to trancendental knowledge. Bhakti is accompanied by and takes help from karma and jnana in the beginnings of the Bhakti process. In the phase of jnana sunya Bhakti , the stronger development phase of trancendental knowledge, the devotees hear from pure devotees and increasingly and directly from the Srimad Bhagavatam , and by the blessings and grace of all the param para acaryas they can study some of their many litratures and meditate on the lila pastimes described by them in their books . This process accompanied by rich” jnana sunya bhakti ” leads to increasingly deeper meditation, one could say the perfection of Astanga yoga, so this is pure Bhakti , and it is leading to purely enriched Astanga like yoga , unique because of being soaked with devotion and remembrances of Krishna lila gained through the processes of hearing , chanting and remembrances . Srila Ragganatha das Goswami in his meditations and instructions on Krishna consciousness lead us to the glories and science of yoga , as does Srila Rupa Goswami as well as Sanantan and Jiva Goswami’s. All were taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
The Professor of neuroscience Michael Egnor has made a point that brain neurons fire in different ways according to discipline and habit changes , those addicted to certain behaviours are almost forced to act due to psychological modes of nature . Modes of nature can change, and patterns of life and habits can change, and brain neurons will change with practice and habits . That Krishna is clearly telling us , we have free will , we can strengthen our consciousness and exercise a free wont . Ie .we will not let bad things degrade our consciousness , but we will rather elevate our consciousness through better choices and feel the benefit.
Unfortunately , low class leaders and scientific materialism, as well as the Darwinian hypothesis , have driven everyone to become like street dogs following their senses anywhere and lifting their legs on anyone. The Vedic way is one of elevated consciousness and progressive social and spiritual mobility for all , and the yoga systems are set out for that purpose. When the intelligentsia return, so will real education, the sophisticated animals will be forced back in their baskets .
