Yoga: The science of God-realization Dear Souls! Yoga is a term derived from yuj, a Sanskrit word meaning unification or union. This union is of two conscious entities, the soul and the Lord. The union between two similar things is permanent and durable, whereas that between two dissimilar objects is short-lived and unnatural. So yoga is the scientific process of uniting the soul with the Lord. The soul is very small, smaller even than the atom, an important invention of modern science. This atom, being split into Electron, Proton and Neutron is but a gross form of atom. The real atom is much smaller than the present one. Atom defined by the great sage Kanad of India is the finest form of matter which allows no further division. Such atom can’t seen by any physical instrument, however fine or superfine it may be. It can be seen by a soul that has acquired its own purely conscious form by adopting the scientific and age-old technique of Vihangam YSupreme

• Entity, Allah, Eshwar, Brahma or Parabrahma is the name of one and the same conscious Entity in different words of various languages. This Supreme Entity is an All-pervading, All-blissful, Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient Entity, beyond the access of mind, speech and physical organs. He can, however, be realized by the process of Vihangam Yoga, which is purely conscious and scientific technique. Then the soul unites itself with this All-powerful, Ever existing Entity called God. Infact, this unity of the soul with God is the real Yoga. Yoga is now a word that has found favor with all the civilized countries of the world. But this yoga is not the real process of uniting the soul with the Lord. It is some methods practiced on physical, mental, intellectual or vocal level. And all these methods are material. These are not conscious. These do not take the practitioner to the state of self realization and unless one realizes one’s own soul, one can’t unite it with the Lord. The different postures practiced on physical level are beneficial to our body. They make us physically strong and disease-free. The various processes of breathing exercises (Pranayam) too help us in maintaining our health and improving it. They also help us in making our memory strong. The six processes of Hath yoga, Neti, Dhauti, Nauli, Basti, Kapalbhati and Tratek are practiced on physical level and not on the conscious one. As such, these too make us keep fit only physically. The recitation of some special terms, God’s name or offering prayers in some holy place is done with the help of speech or utmost with the help of mind. As speech and mind too are a bit material and not purely conscious, these techniques also fail to make us realize our soul and thereafter the Lord. Similarly all other processes whether to meditate on the eight plexis (chakras) of the body or adopt any other rituals or rites are of little help to us in getting permanent peace and happiness for which we are ever persevering. It does not mean that all the aforesaid ways and means don’t fetch us any fruitful gain. They do bring us something that surprises us and also others. They give us miraculous powers. But they still lack peace of mind and provide sometimes pain and sometimes pleasure. Maharshi Patanjali in his famous book of philosophy on yoga has referred to several such miracles one can get by concentrating one’s energy on different points in the body. He has described how a practitioner of yoga can free himself from the urge of hunger and thirst, how he can disappear from the sight of a common person, how he can know about his previous births and so on and so froth. But even then he can’t have a look at his own conscious self nor can he unite his soul with the Almighty Lord. So he can’t free himself from the cycle of birth and death and therefore suffers a number of miseries. Dear souls! I don’t want to thrust my views on you. I simply request you to see whether or not you still lack permanent peace and happiness in spite of the fact that you strive day and night to achieve these. I ask you just to seek within your heart of hearts whether you don’t feel restless at times. Does your mind not stray hither and thither unnecessarily? Are you fully satisfied with the present state of affairs? Is your family relation congenial? Don’t you find that your relation with people outside your home is sometimes stained and unpleasing? Don’t you feel yourself sometimes helpless in overcoming all these obstacles? You will decidedly agree with me to what I enquire of. Now my last query is if you actually want to learn the simplest method which can steer clear of all your problems and bestow upon you long standing peace and happiness. If you so desire and if you are eager to get the know- how of it, I am ready to initiate you into the simplest technique of Vihangam Yoga of our sages and saints of Yore, by forgetting which you are all, so to say, groping in the darkness to attain the goal of your life: peace and pleasure.
