YOGA- How Tech-Yogi saw the light of the future in the Brahmastra of the Hindu nationalists.

If you want to be sad, no one in the world can make you happy. But if you make up your mind to be happy, no one and nothing on earth can take that happiness from you.(Yogananda Paramhansa)


ADI YOGI – SHIVA MOHANJODARO INDUS VALLEY YOGI (PASHUPATI SHIVA -LORD OF ANIMALS 2600-1900 BCE)

International Yoga Day is celebrated on 21st June. Yoga Day started from 21st June 2015.Yoga Day was initiated by the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi while addressing the Joint General Assembly in 2014.

Yoga is an invaluable gift of our ancient tradition. Yoga embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help us deal with climate change. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day. (India’s gift to the whole world.)

HISTORY :- The topic of my post is Yoga’s struggle against imperialism, and the role of Yoga in the development of India’s nationalism, but for this it is necessary to go a little into ancient history. In general, yoga means addition. But in the general sense, where addition is taken to mean numbers, or a collection of some objects, the collection of objects with different properties also comes under sum(yog)
Spiritually and religiously, the meaning of yoga remains the same, but Here the meaning of yoga becomes very wide. Threading humans, animals, nature, all together in one link is yoga.

FROM THE CITY OF THE OLDEST YOGI:-(ADI-YOGI)

One of the holiest of Hindus and one of the oldest cities in the world, Varanasi also has the distinction of being the city of Lord Shiva. The Vedas, the oldest religious texts of the Hindus, mention only the worship of nature. The deity that is first mentioned after the worship of nature is Shiva. For this reason Shiva is also called Adi-dev. In very ancient relics, Shiva is depicted in the posture of yoga, for this reason Shiva is also called Adi Yogi. There is a tradition to show the original form of Shiva along with nature, and also Shiva as the protector of nature. For a detailed explanation of the relationship between Shiva and Varanasi, please visit:- https://nithinks.com/2021/03/10/dawn-of-civilization-and-shiva-shiva-ganga-varanasi/

SHIVA (ADI-YOGI ) PROTECTOR OF NATURE
An artist’s imagination at the Ghat of Varanasi

The ancient idols of Gautam Buddha, Mahavir Swami are all depicted in the posture of meditation and yoga. It is clear from this that yoga and meditation are very ancient traditions of India.
Demolition of idols, temples, monasteries was a common practice in Islamic imperialism. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SUBJECT PLEASE VISIT :- https://nithinks.com/2019/10/07/islamic-imperialism-breaking-of-idols-hindu-struggle-past-present/ Due to which this art had almost disappeared in the branches of Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and all Hindu religions. Somehow it survived as it was passed on from one generation to another, it would be more correct to say that the art of yoga had gone into a coma for a few centuries. The art of yoga-meditation never got a chance to live freely in Islamic terrorism, imperialism, but this art did not even die due to being so deeply rooted in Hinduism.

Hindu renaissance and re-establishment of yoga- meditation

With the end of hundreds of years of Islamic imperialism, a new era began, – British Imperialism. For more information about this subject please visit :- https://nithinks.com/2020/08/14/benares-rebellion-15august-1781/ Like every imperialism, it was also opposed to the native religion, culture. But a framework was developed to maintain the British Empire in the Far East. To maintain the strength of this structure (instead of rigidity, some flexibility was introduced after the First Revolt of 1857)The British Empire needed educated people, because it was not possible to bring people from England for every task, the result was the beginning of education loyal to the British Empire in India.

Kolkata Became the new Nalanda:

The white city of that time (most white people in Asia at that time lived in Kolkata) became the economic and political capital of India. The youth, who had received modern education in Kolkata, soon started working in the biggest industries of that time, railways and postal service. By the 1857 War of Independence in India, the British had understood that the native army could not be trusted completely, (the native army is completely traditional in religion and culture, and did not distance itself from its roots by providing a job to the East India Company) can be done.)
To rule the land of such vast vastness, there was a great need for a means of quick transport. (If needed, the British Army could be transported from one corner of India to another in 24 hours.)
Uninterrupted transmission of information (telegram, letter) was also very necessary to reach from one corner of the country to another. Because of this surprisingly the railway and postal department expanded very rapidly all over India. Bengali people were first appointed in these departments. This was also inevitable because Bengali people were the first to have access to modern education. Colonies, houses of Rail Dock Department started being built in every major city of the country. In this way a mini Bengal was formed in all the major cities of India. Another industry which was not supported by the government, but was growing rapidly in Bengal especially in Kolkata due to the spread of education– the development of printing press. A new era of books, newspapers, magazines took place from Kolkata, due to the rail network across the country, the printing press got its customers all over the country. Especially the Bengalis of Kolkata.

Problem and Solution

Bengal was a strange situation in those days – on the one hand Christian missionaries were involved in the conversion of people, on the other hand the anger of the people was increasing in Hinduism due to hypocrisy, untouchability. In such a situation, Hinduism was finding itself helpless, when Bankim Chandra Chatterjee arrived under such circumstances. He had not said anything new – he had interpreted the Gita afresh. Amidst an atmosphere of despair, there was an assurance of victory in the verses of Gita. Shri Krishna chanted the mantra of Shakti during Kurukshetra, encouraging Arjuna the war-bearer. After a long time, those mantras again filled the youth with hope. In his novel Anand Math, Bankim Chandra wrote the valor of the revolutionaries who challenged the British and made the Indians realize that freedom is their first right, which is the solemn duty of every Indian to achieve. The novel, based on the revolt of the monks (YOGI)of Bengal against British imperialism, had a song on the worship of the motherland. The title of this song was —- Vande Mataram. Later this title became the epitome of opposition to British imperialism. Its popularity can be understood from the fact that it was accepted for greetings throughout the country. Now a new yoga tradition was born, got modern education, understanding of world politics, proud of religion on their culture, above hypocrisy, evils, narrow-mindedness, the new generation of Bengali youth in the spiritual color of yoga. Change in the traditions of Hindu religion, or the beginning of any new tradition is not possible without the approval of the holy city of Varanasi.

THE CAPITAL OF ALL KNOWLEDGE:- CITY OF LIGHT

“The city illumines the truth and reveals reality. It does not bring new wonders into the scope of vision, but enables one to see what is already there. Where this eternal light intersects the earth, it is known as Kashi”(Varanasi).

Varanasi, is also called KASHI(ONE OF THE OLD NAME). The word Kashi has its origin from the word Kash. Its means light. Here light does not mean just light. Light here means “Light of knowledge”. Nalanda, Taxila, and Varanasi were the major centers of education in ancient times.

New incarnation of yoga in the city of Adi-yogi

At the end of the eighteenth century, the British thought of opening the Banaras Sanskrit College in Varanasi. (S.N SEN, SANSKRIT COLLEGE AT BANARAS ,GERNAL GANGANATH RESEARCH PAGE 315)

The credit for understanding the importance of modern education and the introduction of modern education in Varanasi goes to Raja Jaynarayan Ghoshal. Raja Jaynarayan Ghoshal established a school for modern education in Varanasi in 1814. Today this school is known as Jaynarayan College. (Fort William College Kolkata was established by Lord Wellesley in 1800)When Lord Hastings came to Varanasi in September 1814, the foundation of this school had been laid. And the construction of the school was in progress, this event has been described by Hastings in his journal. In those days it was difficult to even talk about western education, so what to say about the English medium school of western education? A temple was also built in the same year 1814 by Jaynarayan Ghoshal to show himself as a Hindu religious person. The specialty of this temple was its unique structure. This temple is dedicated to Yoga and Tantra-Vidya ( doctrines or principles of the tantras, involving mantras, meditation, yoga, and ritual.) Soon this combination greatly influenced the younger generation, The teachings of Yoga and Gita were used as a weapon by the modern educated Bengali youth. Equally effective on both fronts. Against Christian missionaries and against Hindu superstitions.

Yoga Based on the Gita took the form of a Brahmastra during independence Movement

Gita-based yoga became an infallible weapon of nationalists across the country by moving beyond the boundaries of Bengal and Bengali railways, post office colonies. Nationalists like Tilak, Savarkar, Sachindra Nath Sanyal (Sachindra nath Sanyal was the founder of “Hindustan Republican Association” and political teacher(guru) of great revolutionaries like Chandrashekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Trilokya Chakraborty, Bhagwati Charan Vohra, Nalini Kishore Guh, Baba Prithvi Singh, Ras Bihari Bose, Sukhdev, Rajguru, Lala Hardayal, Ajit Singh .

The book “Bandi – jeevan” he wrote was called the Bible of Indian revolutionaries, which was translated into more than twenty-eight languages and countless people who read this book chose the path of revolution for the independence of the country. Marxist fake historians have marginalized them in writing their own history. ) Subhash Chandra Bose also used this new weapon in the best way in intense nationalism.

FREEDOM OF THE SOUL IS THE GOAL OF ALL YOGAS

You must remember that freedom of the soul is the goal of all Yoga’s, and each one equally leads to the same result. By work alone men may get to where Buddha got largely by meditation or Christ by prayer. Buddha was a working Jnâni, Christ was a Bhakta, but the same goal was reached by both of them. The difficulty is here. Liberation means entire freedom — freedom from the bondage of good, as well as from the bondage of evil. A golden chain is as much a chain as an iron one. There is a thorn in my finger, and I use another to take the first one out; and when I have taken it out, I throw both of them aside; I have no necessity for keeping the second thorn, because both are thorns after all. So the bad tendencies are to be counteracted by the good ones, and the bad impressions on the mind should be removed by the fresh waves of good ones, until all that is evil almost disappears, or is subdued and held in control in a corner of the mind; but after that, the good tendencies have also to be conquered. Thus the “attached” becomes the “unattached”. Work, but let not the action or the thought produce a deep impression on the mind. Let the ripples come and go, let huge actions proceed from the muscles and the brain, but let them not make any deep impression on the soul. SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

The great scientist Nikola Tesla, writer Aldous Huxley, Tolstoy, Ja de Salinger Rockefeller, Mahatma Gandhi, Subhas Chandra Bose, Arvind Ghosh, Nivedita, Jamshedji Tata, Vimal Mitra, Shachindranath were influenced by his ideas. In 1890, Vivekananda came to Varanasi with Swami Akhandanand. The house where Vivekananda stayed in Varanasi was known as Bengali Deodhi. (Vivekananda stayed in this house in Varanasi in 1888 too.)  This house belonged to Pramadadas Mitra ji, who was an eminent scholar of that time.

SHYAM CHARAN LAHIRI

SHYAMCHARAN LAHIRI (LAHIRI- MAHASHAY)

He was born on 26 September 1828. Since childhood he was a devotee of Shiva. As a child, he went to Varanasi for his education. (It was a common practice in Bengal, parents used to send their children to Varanasi for education. Raja Ram Mohan Roy, a very famous social reformer of that time, was also educated in Varanasi.) His education was an example of changing times. Instead of taking admission in the old religious Sanskrit school in Varanasi, he joined the school of Jaynarayan Ghoshal. No doubt he must have been influenced by the personality of Jaynarayan Ghoshal and other thoughts.

He continued to practice yoga while living a household life. Later on, he made Mahavatar Baba ji his Guru and learned many esoteric sutras of yoga from him. He did a lot of work on Vedanta, Sankhya, and Yogadarshan, and also did a lot of writing work related to it.
He has also given a spiritual interpretation of the Gita, which has a very high status in the world of spirituality. On the basis of Gita, he again presented Kriya-Yoga. Kriya Yoga is such a method of yoga in which Pranayama has special importance, in simple words, Kriya Yoga is the cultivation of self-realization, God, and true knowledge in one equation. His chief disciples Pranavanand, Kesavananda, Yukteswar Giri gave more height to his tradition.

ART OF YOGA



Why is social media an opponent of Gandhi.

Gandhi’s ideas have to be freed from the Gandhian mafia only then Gandhi’s ideas will remain meaningful.

Even after using the internet for about fourteen- fifteen years, I used to stay away from social media. (Facebook,twitter, whats app) The virtual world through social media. About two years ago, I also made my account on social media under pressure from friends. Last year I noticed Gandhi Jayanti, social media is full of jokes,( vulgar jokes) on Gandhi ji. It was amazing to me, it made me think a lot.

MAHATMA GANDHI

Gandhi Ji repeatedly said that my idea is not new. Ahimsa(Non-violence) was not even a new idea, it was just a reflection of the thousand-year tradition of Hinduism. Gandhi’s non-violence philosophy was a link in the series of Hindu philosophy, Gautam Buddha, Mahavir, Swami, Emperor Ashoka,Swami Vivekananda.

“Om. May peace radiate there in the whole sky as well as in the vast ethereal space everywhere.May peace reign all over this earth, in water and all herbs, trees, and creepers.May peace flow over the whole universe.May peace be in the Whole Universe. And may there always exist in all peace and peace alone.Om peace, peace, and peace to us and all beings”! (Translation by Swami Abhedananda, Ramakrishna Vedanta Math, India.)

BUDDHA

“One is not called noble who harms living beings. By not harming living beings one is called noble.”

As I am, so are these.

As are these, so am I.’

Drawing the parallel to yourself,

Neither kill nor get others to kill”.

(Buddha)

MAHAVIRA

“Live and allow others to live; hurt no one; life is dear to all living beings”.

“Kill not, cause no pain. Nonviolence is the greatest religion”.

Mahavir Swami

Swami Vivekananda (addresses at the parliament of religions, Chicago 11th September 1893)

“I AM proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all nations of the earth. I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in our bosom the purest remnant of the Israelites, who came to Southern India and took refuge with us in the very year in which their holy temple was shattered to pieces by Roman tyranny. I am proud to belong to the religion which has sheltered and is still fostering the remnant of the grand Zoroastrian nation. I will quote to you, brethren, a few lines from a hymn which I remember to have repeated from my earliest boyhood, which is every day repeated by millions of human beings: “As the different streams having their sources in different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee.”

So was social media opposing thousands of years of Hindu tradition, religion, culture?

Actually, it was not opposition to Gandhi, it was opposed to the fake industry running in the name of Gandhi.

This protest was against the corrupt system running in the name of Gandhi. The corrupt, political opportunists never hesitated to use Gandhi’s miraculous personality for his own benefit while he was alive.

Jawaharlal Nehru, whom Gandhiji described as his political successor while he was alive, cleverly took advantage of Gandhi. Gandhi could never support any murderous government. At the same time, Nehru did not get tired of glorifying assassins Lenin, Mao, Stalin in his books. (The discovery of India, Glimpses of World History) Why these contradictions? Gandhi was against any imperialism, and imperialist ideology, while Nehru was a staunch supporter of communist, imperialist ideology.

This is why Mahatma is called Mahatma, he was a person of big heart, Gandhi did not feel bad about Nehru’s attachment to communist ideology, he said that “Nehru can be communist personally, but he will not impose their thinking, on the party, it is my belief “.It would not be an exaggeration to say that Nehru was a supporter of communist imperialism since 1927.

The third communist international founded in Moscow in March 1919, set itself “the goal of fighting, by every means, even by force of arms, for the overthrow of the international bourgeoisie and the creation of an international Soviet republic”.

At the congress of the people of the East, convened at Baku in 1920 to promote the colonial revolution, delegates excitedly waved swords, daggers, and revolvers, in the air when Zinoviev called on them to wage a jihad against imperialism and capitalism. ( Even today these methods are prevalent among terrorists)

Nehru participated in the conference organized by the Communists in 1927 Brussels, and in the same year, he also went to the Soviet Union.

Nehru wrote the following about that period “We began a new phase in our struggle for freedom in India at about the same time as the October Revolution led by the Great [Lenin]. We admired Lenin whose example influenced us greatly.”

In 1921-22, millions of people died of starvation in the Soviet Union. Another severe famine occurred in 1932-1933. The communist government was solely responsible for this famine. Stalin, the disciple of Lenin, left the farmers and laborers to die in this famine and took full advantage of there deaths. Millions of people were dying on the roadside and Nehru was seen heaven in Russia (Soviet Union).

In fact, Nehru was a clever man who only looked after his own interests. To say that Nehru was also opposed to familyism, but what is the truth?

Glimpses of world history: ———– “Some old inscriptions from south India tell us how the members of the panchayats were elected, their qualifications and disqualifications. If any member did not render accounts of public funds he was disqualified. Another very interesting rule seems to have been that near relatives of members were disqualified from office. How excellent if this could be enforced now in all our councils and assemblies and municipalities.” (Jawaharlal Nehru). It’s easier to preach than really act.

At that time the means of information in India were very limited, due to which Nehru had no problem in playing his dirty game. Nehru used to chant Gandhi’s non-violence among the general public in India, and start chanting Lenin’, Stalin, outside the country or among the intellectuals? (Marxists gang)of the country.

Communists of India were all agents of Russia.

When Stalin ( Hitler) broke the pact and joined Britain and Russia, the Communists of India became opponents of Hitler and allies of Britain overnight.

When the British ruler was trying to crush the nationalist movement with the help of Indian communists, Nehru was trying to reduce the influence of nationalists like Subhash Chandra Bose, Sardar Patel on this occasion.

The family’s relations with Russia remained very cordial, which was later revealed.

Mitrokhin Archive:- also questioned the Prime Minister of India, Smt. Indira Gandhi, about the money transactions and (K.G.B.) role.In 1994. A world-renowned journalist and “Thesis writer on K.G.B YEVGENIA ALBATS” (Wrote Her thesis as a book: THE STATE WITHIN A STATE: THE K.G.B AND ITS HOLD ON RUSSIA-PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE)Referring to the files of KGB in this book, it was told that: a letter signed by Viktor chebrikov who replaced Andropov as head of the k.g.b in 1982 noted: the u.s.s.r k.g.b maintains contact with the son of premie- minister[rajiv-gandhi]R. Gandhi expresses deep gratitude for benefits accruing to the prime minister’s family from the commercial dealings of an Indian firm he controls in corporations with soviet foreign trade organizations. R.Gandhi reports confidentially that a substantial portion of the funds obtained through this channel is used to support the party of. R.Gandhi. (K.G.B archive,f.5,OP.6, por.no.12,d.i3i,t.i,1,d. 103-104 ).

Gandhi’s philosophy was disgusted by a family in his selfishness.

Apart from this, the Gandhians’ selected view on Gandhi, and its propagation, also became the biggest enemy of Gandhi’s ideas.

Vivekananda’s ideas had great influence in Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi’s journey to become a Mahatma. Gandhi’s views on conversion were absolutely the views of Vivekananda.

Vivekananda once said that:-THE LORD HAS DECLARED TO THE HINDU IN HIS INCARNATION AS KRISHNA: “I am in every religion as the thread through a string of pearls. Wherever thou seest extraordinary holiness and extraordinary, power raising and purifying humanity, know thou that I am there.

Science is nothing but the finding of the unity. as soon as science would rich perfect unity, it would stop from further progress, because it would reach the goal. Thus chemistry could not progress, because it would reach the goal. Thus chemistry could not progress farther when it would discover one element out of which all others could be made physics would stop when it would be able to fulfill its services in discovering one energy of which all the others are but manifestations and the science of the religion become perfect when it would discover Him who is the life in a universe of death. Him who is the constant basis of an ever-changing world. one who is the only soul of which all souls are but delusive manifestations. thus is it, through multiplicity and duality , the ultimate unity is reached. religion can go further . this is the goal of all science.

In this way, it has been the tradition of the Indian subcontinent that disagreement, opposition, makes an ideology rich.

A country that had no concern for its honor, had no regrets about losing its land, was indifferent to the slaughter of its people, and all this was going on in the name of Gandhi. The Gandhian academic institutions were, and still are, occupied by neo-Marxists.Gandhi’s ideas that were needed to fight Islamic and communist imperialism had perished in Gandhi’s academic institutions.

It is also difficult to believe that Gandhi’s nonviolence, Lenin, and Stalin’s revolution were taught together in school books even years after the break-up of the Soviet Union, the end of Communism from Eastern Europe. And there was no mention of atrocities committed in the name of the communist revolution.

Gandhi’s ideas have to be freed from the Gandhian mafia only then Gandhi’s ideas will remain meaningful.

Changes over time will also have to be accepted _ which will make Gandhi’s ideas more valuable, Gandhi was opposed to life insurance, against mechanization, Can we make the whole country clothed with spinning yarn, these can be symbolic weapons to fight British imperialism, but today they have some use in fighting communist and Islamic imperialism. We have to accept that Gandhi was against any kind of imperialism, if Gandhi were alive, he would undoubtedly strongly oppose the supporters of imperialism under the guise of non-violence in his name.
