Lana, Bhagwan und der Rest: Ein spiritueller Roman (German Edition)

Fu ll Arti cle: However, great Yogis such as Gorakshanath are following the system of Sadanga Yoga which has been stated by him in his book Goraksha Paddhati 1. This System avoids Yamaand Niyama. The justification given by those Yogis is that if you obtain mastery in meditation, your whole lifestyle gets changed in such a way, that you automatically start following the Yama and Niyamawhich are the necessary rules and individual rules of conduct respectively. These six aspects of Yoga are: According to the Nath Cult it is most important that the aspirant should purify his body completely.

This has been stated in detail in Gheranda Samhita l. This is a total purification of all important and vital organs of the body such as stomach, small intestines, large intestines, nasal passage, food pipe, eyes, cars, throat, etc. After this the cult says that the aspirant is in a position to undertake all the steps of Yoga. The next step in other Yoga systems is the learning of physical postures. However, after learning all the important postures, the aspirant has to practise the most essential posture viz.

For all the future Sadhanas this is considered to be the basic and important posture. The detailed description of this posture is given by Jnaneshvara in his sixth chapter of Jnaneshvari and also by a number of books of Nath Cult. They say that this posture is a must for all the aspirants. However, Patanjali says that you can sit in any convenient posture you like.

The importance of a Guru or Master is maximum in Nath cult. Their every book or Shastra starts by remembering or bowing with great reverence and respect to the Guru Adinath or Shiva or Shankara. The Nath cult says that the human body consists of certain most essential centres or vital points and voids Akasha. They say that one who is not aware of these essential centres is not a Yogi. They are six Chakras, sixteen vital points, two Laksyas concentration points , five voids, all situated within the human body. Such type of discussion is not found in Patanjala Yoga Darshana.

Nath cult says that the human body is just like a beautiful house which is having nine doors. It is formed out of five essential elements and each element is having its own deity. The nine openings are two eyes, two nostrils, two ear holes, mouth, excreta outlet, and sex organ. Every aspirant has to understand these things. In Patanjala Sutras we do not find this. The Nath Panth, in their various books as mentioned above, gives a detailed description of the seven chakras, their exact location in the body, their properties and functions etc.

Jnaneshvara has not given the description of these chakras for the reason that he wanted to restrict his interpretation to the verses of Bhagavad-Gita. At the base of the spinal cord and at the centre of the line which connects sex organ and the excreta outlet is situated the first chakra which is known as Muladhara Chakra. Slightly above the sex centre and below the naval centre the second chakra is situated which is known as Svadhisthana Chakra. The third is situated near the naval centre and is called Manipura. The fourth one is situated near the heart centre and is known as Anahata Chakra.

The fifth is situated at the throat centre and is known as Visuddha Chakra. It must be noted that all these chakras are situated in the Shushumna Nadi which passes through the spinal cord, which again passes through Vertebral Column. These are extremely subtle points and may not be structural and cannot be located by any sophisticated instrument available. Here come the limitations of modern science. The sixth chakra is situated on the forehead and between the centre of the two eyebrows. This is known as Ajna Chakra. The seventh and the last chakra is situated in the centre of the brain in its uppermost portion.

Patanjali does not mention any such thing in his Yoga Sutras. According to Nath Cult there are Out of these ten Nadis are important. Out of these three are most important. They are known as Ida, Pingula and Shushumna. Ida is known as Chandra Nadi and is passing through the left side of the vertebral column. Pingula is known as Surya Nadi and is passing through the right side of the vertebral column.

Shushumna Nadi is passing through the spinal cord and is known as Agni Nadi. He does mention a few Nadis like Kurma Nadi. But the detailed description is absent. The concept of Prana has been studied in maximum details in Nath Cult. Each one is situated in a specific part of the body. Each one is having specific purpose and function in the body. When we take the air inside our body, it gets bifurcated into ten branches. This is just like a stream of water which starts from the Himalayan Mountains and gets bifurcated into several branches and each branch becomes a river and is given a separate name.

Present medical science is not in a position to locate these ten different types of airs. This type of description is not found in Patanjala Sutras. Everyone can experience this with slight practice. In a period of one day, that is twenty-four hours, we take That means this type of sound which is known as Mantra, is being continued in our body for that many number of times If the aspirant observes this mentally and consciously, this becomes a great Sadhana.

This Sadhana is being given very great importance in the Nath Cult. The most important aspect of the Yoga Sadhana of Jnaneshvara is the activation of the Kundalini Shakti. This is a Tantric Sadhana of the Nath Cult. Jnaneshvara has given a detailed account of this process in his sixth chapter.

This is a practical application of the philosophy of Nath Panth. They say that the whole universe is created out of the energy of Shiva or Mahashiva or Adinatha. They call it Shakti or cosmic energy. This energy is occupying the whole universe. The smallest portion of this energy is known as Kundalini, and the energy which is present in the entire universe is known as Maha Kundalini. This energy is present in human beings in potential form Supta Shakti. The Yogis who have experienced this energy, say that this is like a serpent and is situated at the end of the Shushumna Nadi in a coiled form, in three and a half coils, position.

This means that whatever exists in the universe also exists in the human being in the subtle form. Nath Cult and their great masters like Gorakshanath have devised various ways and means to activate this energy. Saint Jnaneshvara has described one method of activating this energy. This method has been stated in almost all the books of Hatha Yoga and Natha Panth and some Upanishads. The detailed description is available in the sixth chapter of Jnaneshvari. That is why we find in Jnaneshvari all these systems of Upasana.

The ultimate stage of realisation or Moksha as per this colt is the union of Shakti with Shiva. Hence the aspirant initiated in this cult has to activate this energy and allow this energy to go through all the six chakras gradually. The place of Shiva is considered to be in the last chakra which is known as Sahasrara.

In the ultimate stage, Sadhaka has to transfer this energy to this last chakra. This is supposed to be the point of union of Shakti with Shiva. One who is successful in this process, is supposed to be a great Yogi. A number of spiritual powers known as siddhis are at his disposal in that stage. A number of examples are available in the ancient Shastras about the Yogis, who were successful in obtaining this highest stage. Jnaneshvara had experienced the above union with Shiva and hence he is known as Maha Yogi.

In Nath cult there is a great importance of a Gun or Master. He is given the same importance as is given to their ultimate Guru Adinath. That is why Jnaneshvara is giving maximum importance to his Guru Nivrittinath and is mentioning his name in Jnaneshvari at a number of places. Not only that, he gives the entire credit of writing this book to Nivrittinath. Their philosophy says that the aspirant can get the ultimate experience of truth or Shiva only with the continuous guidance of Guru or the Master. We find that every book of Nath Panth starts after bowing to Guru.

In this cult we find a mystic and esoteric act of the transfer of spiritual energy from the master to the initiated aspirant and the act is known as Shaktipata. With the tremendous powers of the master, he can activate the Kundalini energy of the disciple. This transfer, he can do by touching a specific part of his body or simply by looking at him.

This transfer of energy can be done on the aspirant who is at a great distance from the master. This is a peculiar mystical act. After the transfer of energy, the aspirant experiences a number of supernatural things, a tremendous flow of liquid light, etc. However, those scholars who are really anxious, should go through the book Awakening of Kundalini written by Pandit Gopi Krishna, who had undergone all these experiences before about twenty-five years in Kashmir.

The concept of Shaktipata is not found in PYS. This cult gives a great importance to the practice of certain physical postures known as Mudras. They are useful in meditation and also in the activation of Kundalini energy and the six chakras. Hence every aspirant has to learn these Mudras. The ancient texts say that such Mudras arc twenty-five. Out of these ten are most important.

With the practice of Mudras the aspirant is in a position to get rid of any and every disease and can acquire a number of supernatural powers. Because of these multiple advantages, the aspirant is taught these postures and afterhe achieves this experience, he is taught Pranayama. Mudras arc nowhere mentioned in PYS. There is a difference between the Dhyana-meditation of Patanjali and Jnaneshvara. Patanjali gives the definition of Dhyana as per Sutra No. The aspirant has to concentrate on specific or vital part of the body or on some external point.

This process is known as Dharana. When the aspirant gets success in the concentration on that particular point, for a sufficiently long time, it becomes a Dhyana. For the concentration on that particular point, the aspirant has to use his mind. However, in Kundalini Yoga, the aspirant has not to use his mind at all. He has to practise Kumbhaka, wherein the function of mind totally stops. Instead of concentrating on any particular point, the aspirant has to activate the Kundalini energy. This is a much superior way. Patanjali gives a broad division of Samadhi, which is termed as SamprajnataSamadhi and Asamprajnata Samadhi.

However, the stage of Samadhi has been studied in details by the Nath cult and which is followedby Jnaneshvara in toto.

How each Samadhi can be experienced is also discussed in details. Scholars and philosophers can refer chapter seven of Gheranda Samhita which gives the entire description. To conclude, I would like to state that both these systems of Yoga are different. The reason is obvious. Their philosophical base is altogether different. This Yoga Philosophy is therefore multi-dimensional. Besides the results here are very fast. This has been promised by Gorakshanath in his book.

However, it is advisable that the practices of this Yoga should be undertaken under an able and experienced master. To end the paper, I would like to quote the verse No. It says that till you are not in a position to activate the Kundalini energy, till you are not in a position to have perfect control over your pranic force, till you are not in a position to clear the path of Shushumna Nadi, all your knowledge is external, futile and full of ego.

It is only an exercise of talking and nothing else. Hence he says that this is a process which has to be experienced only. In meiner Doktorarbeit habe ich die Lehren und Praktiken dieser Yogis untersucht. Als Textgrundlage dient hierbei ein Werk aus dem ca. In diesem recht umfangreichen Werk 21 Kapitel wurden die Lehren aus unterschiedlichen philosophischen Schulen, Konzepte und Praktiken diverser tantrischer und yogischer Traditionen, sowie viele mythologische Vorstellungen zusammengetragen.

Besides, everyone knows that Abhinava Gupta mentions Matsyendranath who is the guru of Gorakshanath ein Sri Tantraloka as his guru. He also mentions Shambhunath in Tantra-sara as his guru. Shambhunath is not only the main guru of Abhinava Gupta, but he is also known as a guru in the Natha Sampradaya.

Kashmir Shaivism synthesized in itself a lot of tantric and shakta methods that had found their place in the Natha Tradition. Guru Gorakshanath also put an emphasis on the inner essence of these teachings, seeing in them a unity of their mystical experience. Nathas have the same, all the texts say that there is no Raja Yoga without Hatha and vice versa, there is no difference between Shiva and Shakti.

According to the terms the Nathas much borrowed from Siddhanta of Kashmir Shaivism. Probably, many followers Kashmir Shaivism migrated from Kashmir, dissolved in shakta, natha and buddhist schools. As in the Kashmir Shaivism, in the tradition of Gorakshanath each following tattva contains that from which it emerged itself. Five Shakti, described in one of the major works of Natha Sampradaya Siddha-Siddhanta Paddhati , identical to those of Shakti, which are described in the tradition of Kashmir Shaivism: The difference is that instead of detailed analysis Suddha and Suddha-ashuddha tattvas the Nathas pay more attention to the theory of the body of Vishesha-purusha and Vyashti-Pinda, but on the other hand, the theory of 6 tattvas is acceptable to nathism.

The Asien-Afrika-Institut , situated in the heart of the city, provides students and researchers with ideal circumstances in which to study a multitude of languages and cultures. His teachings are based on the unity of the soul and Brahman, in which Brahman is viewed as without attributes. He hailed from Kalady of present day Kerala. Shankara travelled across India and other parts of South Asia to propagate his philosophy through discourses and debates with other thinkers.

Adi Shankara is believed to be the organizer of the Dashanami monastic order and the founder of the Shanmata tradition of worship. His works in Sanskrit, all of which are extant today, concern themselves with establishing the doctrine of Advaita Nondualism. He also established the importance of monastic life as sanctioned in the Upanishads and Brahma Sutra , in a time when the Mimamsa school established strict ritualism and ridiculed monasticism.

Shankara relied entirely on the Upanishads for reference concerning Brahman and wrote copious commentaries on the Vedic Canon Brahma Sutra, Principal Upanishads and Bhagavadgita in support of his thesis. The main opponent in his work is the Mimamsa school of thought, though he also offers some arguments against the views of some other schools like Samkhya and certain schools of BUDDHISM that he was familiar with.

Alles was existiert ist nichts anderes als Brahman; doch Brahman hat keine Teile oder Unterschiede in sich. Die wahrgenommenen Unterschiede sind wie eine Fata Morgana. Soundarya Lahari meaning waves of beauty consists of two parts viz. Ananda Lahari meaning waves of happiness first 41 stanzas and Soundarya Lahari the next 59 stanzas.

Adhi Sankara himself added the rest of the 59 stanzas and completed it. These stanzas are supposed to be the foremost among Manthra literature. There are more than 36 commentries to Soundarya Lahari written in Sanskrit itself. Of them the most famous is that written by Lakshmi Dhara alias Lalla, His commentary is used to understand the meaning of the different verses.

Though there are large number of translations and commentaries of Soundraya Lahari available this is perhaps the first time an attempt is made by a mere novice to translate them in to English verse. A transliteration in roman script is also given. The Internet Archive San Francisco: The Internet Archive is a c 3 non-profit that was founded to build an Internet library.

Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Bhaja Govindam is a very popular 8th century Hindu devotional composition in Sanskrit composed by Adi Shankaracharya. This work of Adi Shankara underscores the view that devotion to God, Govinda, is a vastly important part of general spirituality.

This work is generally considered a good summary of Advaita Vedanta. It is said that Shankara was walking along a street in Varanasi one day, accompanied by his disciples. He heard an old scholar teaching his grammatical rules. Taking pity on him, he went up and advised him not to waste his time on grammar at his age but to turn his mind to God in worship and adoration. The Hymn to Govinda was composed on this occasion. The fourteen disciples who were with the Master then are believed to have added one verse each. There is a story attached to the composition of this Hymn.

Sri Ramana Maharshi Tamil: After having attained liberation at the age of 16, he left home for Arunachala , a mountain considered sacred by Hindus, at Tiruvannamalai, and lived there for the rest of his life.

Arunachala is located in Tamil Nadu , South India. Sri Ramana maintained that the purest form of his teachings was the powerful silence which radiated from his presence and quieted the minds of those attuned to it. He gave verbal teachings only for the benefit of those who could not understand his silence.

His verbal teachings were said to flow from his direct experience of Consciousness Atman as the only existing reality. When asked for advice, he recommended self-enquiry as the fastest path to moksha. Though his primary teaching is associated with Non-dualism, Advaita Vedanta , and Jnana yoga , he recommended Bhakti to those he saw were fit for it, and gave his approval to a variety of paths and practices. Throughout the history of mankind spiritual giants have appeared on very rare occasions to exemplify the Highest Truth. Guiding followers by their conduct in every moment of their lives; Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi was such a giant.

Unique in our time, He perfectly embodied the ultimate truth of Self-realisation, or complete absorption in the Supreme Itself. Drawn from His home by the power of Arunachala at the age of sixteen, he remained at Its feet throughout the rest of His life and became known as the Sage of Arunachala. He wrote very little, but is known to have translated and corrected a number of important works for the benefit of devotees.

He preferred to communicate through the power of overwhelming Silence, a silence so deep and powerful that it stilled the minds of ardent seekers who were attracted to Him from all over the world. Although preferring silence, He was always willing to answer the questions of sincere aspirants and never failed to guide them in the right direction. Through this silence, countless numbers of devotees and visitors experienced the pure bliss of True Being. That same experience of perfect peace is still available to sincere souls who turn to him and practice his teachings with devotion.

This act of perfect grace can be experienced anywhere, but it is especially palpable at the foot of the holy Arunachala Hill, a hill that has attracted saints and sages for thousands of years. The goal is no heaven after death or a faraway ideal, but rather the removal of the ignorance that prevents us from knowing that we are eternally One with our Source, the Supreme Self, or God. It is an experience than can be had NOW! All that is required is a sincere effort, which earns us the necessary grace.
