Today the whole world is behind Yoga looking from various angles to
extract the benefits so that one can become healthy and happy. Several
scholars during last few decades making efforts to bring this science to
a common people by conducting standardised clinical traits and
various philosophical research, so that the essence of this ancient
wisdom shall made about easy to the common people.
Dr. Kamakhya Kumar in this book traces the history and evolution
of Yoga and brings out the essence of Yoga from various tradition of
yoga starting from prevedic period. He not only emphasises the
philosophical knowledge of Yoga, but also bring the applied form of
Yoga which is the unique contribution of Dr. Kumar. which will prove
to a milestone for researchers and students of yoga to understand the
system.
The present volume of Super Science of Yoga will definitely help the
academician to know the history and development and applied form of
Yoga. He clearly enunciates how practice of asanas Pranayamas and
different yogic practices removes diseases and brings stability, health
to the body and as has been rightly said Jabaladarshnopanishad that
one, who has established control over the asanas, conquers the three
worlds.
Pranayama enhances and balances the pranas, once they have been
regulated; the mind comes under its control, since prana is the first to
originate from consciousness and finally merges into consciousness
itself. The real pranayama is that when the yogi becomes mindful of
the subtle vibrations created by the prana and with its aid attains to the
real nature of prana.
Herein lies the advantage of Vedic yoga since its entire structure is
based on consciousness as the basic stuff of creation in all its forms
and varieties. Vedic seers by means of deep meditation were able to
see through everything, howsoever gross and mightily tangible it may
be, as a formation of consciousness. This has been finding of not one
or two seers, but of many seers, living over a million square kilometre
of the Indian soil for thousands of years in isolated groups sequestered
from one another by considerable distance hurdled with rivers, forests
and wild animals, etc. Despite of all these points of distraction, their
common concurrence on consciousness as the essential stuff of
creation is astounding and much more than the modern physicist’s
discovery regarding convertibility of matter into energy. While the
physicist’s discovery boosted the effort of the psychologist to create a
psychology with matter as its basic stuff, the Vedic seers left the entire
legacy of consciousness as the same sort of stuff to think of the
possibility of formulating a psychology of the psyche.
Yoga claims that it has developed methods, which can deal with the
supra-physical as rigorously and as objectively as modern science
deals with physical phenomena. Yoga claims that its methods can deal
both with the physical and supra-physical, and, if needed and
encouraged it could develop an integral science of both the physical
and supra-physical and their interrelationship.
Our ancient literature and the Indian Philosophy are pregnant with
Yogic Sciences. Unfortunately for non-Sanskrit-knowing people, the
literature of Yoga is not largely available in English. The general
teachings of Yoga are to be found in the Upanishads, and the
Bhagavad-Gita; those, in many translations, are within your reach, but
they are general, not special; they give you the main principles, but do
not tell you about the methods in any detailed way.
The special literature of Yoga is, first of all, many of the minor
Upanishads, "the hundred-and-eight" as they are called. Then comes
the enormous mass of literature called Tantra. These books have an
evil significance in the ordinary English ear, but not quite rightly. The
Tantras are very useful books, very valuable and instructive; all occult
science is to be found in them. But they are divisible into three classes:
those that deal with white magic, those that deal with black magic, and
those that deal with what we may call grey magic, a mixture of the
two. Now magic is the word which covers the methods of deliberately
bringing about super-normal physical states by the action of the will.
Through the sound practice of Yoga, one can attain a disease free body
as well as keen intellect. Yogasikha Upanishad mentions that this body
is the abode of Siva, hence, a yogi considers the body as a temple and
keeps it healthy for further development of consciousness.
