Sanatana Dharma - Aka Hinduism (3rd Bin)

[Husky]

Post 1/3



Related to news already pasted in post 290 of the Anti-Indian Nexus thread, on Modi-govt secularising yoga and removing the OM from it, in order to universalise it.

Also, officials said, the yoga protocol, prepared in consultation with Baba Ramdev, Sri Sri Ravi ShankarBaba Ramdev, Sadguru Jaggi Vasudev and yoga institutions in India, will stick to the simplest of yoga postures. "This is to ensure yoga appeals even to the uninitiated in many countries."

Not surprised that Jaggi is in on this - he started off peddling atheism (would explain why Karunanidhi was happy to promote him), realised it wasn't getting him followers and so created a fake Shivalinga-like structure to dupe Hindus, and now he gives speeches on 'Shiva'. Like the Bauddhified Shiva and the Jainised Shiva and the recently Abrahamised Shiva (invoked by Jews and Yezidis), there is also Crypto-Rationalists' Shiva. All of which are mere clones, usually used by others to peddle or to encroach.



Am surprised that Ramdev has voiced no issues, at least with OM being taken out.



Anyway, the comments at the link are relevant and are the reason for this series of posts:

One day, even Vedas and Vedanta will be secular Indo-European literature with no Hinduness inherent in them. That is what Sanskrit is now being touted as an Indo-European language .

Poor Harapriya has no idea how far the IE game has progressed. IE-ists are long past declaring that Vedic Religion is not Hindoo heathenism. Nevertheless, it remains a fact that the latter is the natural continuation of Vedic Religion and IS Vedic Religion still.

(As new-ageism and subversionism increase exponentially thanks to gangrene in India, this will cease to be the case. But what will forever remain true is that the alien demons [dabblers like 'indologicals' and 'converts' and new agey tresspassers] will never have Vedic Religion, nor ever know it.)

really disgusting !

we should understand that ‘yoga’ is just a small set of bodily postures !

this is how our R.shis are honored !

by ignoring OM !!



Maharshi Patanjali says :



योगश्चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः — yogaa: chitta vr.tti niro’dha:



yoga is the control of the thought-modifications of the mind ;



and to achieve that end ,

the surest , the safest , and the easiest method shown is :

( from Paatanjalayogasutras : chapter I – sutras 23 to 28 , with simple translation )



ईश्वरप्रणिधानाद्वा — Is’vara pran’idhaanaadvaa



profound devotion to Is’vara [3]



क्लेशकर्मविपाकाशयैरपरामृष्टः पुरुषविशेष ईश्वरः — kle’s’a karma vipaakaas’ayai: aparaamr.sht’a: Purusha vis’e’sha Is’vara:



here is one of the best definitions of Is’vara that can ever be found :

Is’vara is a particular kind of Being , unaffected by — kle’s’a ( ignorance ) , karma ( actions ) , vipaaka ( fruits of the actions ) , and aas’aya ( the resultant latent impressions )



तत्र निरतिशयं सर्वज्ञवीजम् — tatra niratis’ayam sarvaj*na beejam



He is Omniscient ( simple translation )



पूर्वेषामपि गुरुः कालेनानवच्छेदात् — poorve’shaam api Guru: kaale’na anavacche’daat



He is the first Guru , the Timeless One [1]



तस्य वाचकः प्रणवः — Tasya vaachaka: Pran’ava:



His vaachaka , denoting sound , is Pran’ava , OM .





तज्जपस्तदर्थभावनम् — Tat japa: Tat artha bhaavanam



This Sound is to be repeatedly chanted , and Its meaning is to be meditated upon .



and here , these people are all set to avoid and drop OM !

can anything be done ?

[1] On:

पूर्वेषामपि गुरुः कालेनानवच्छेदात् — poorve’shaam api Guru: kaale’na anavacche’daat



He is the first Guru , the Timeless One

नमो अग्रियाय च प्रथमाय च । (5.11)

नमो बृहते च । (5.9)

नमः पूर्वजाय (... च) | 6.2



[2] And on:

तस्य वाचकः प्रणवः — Tasya vaachaka: Pran’ava:



His vaachaka , denoting sound , is Pran’ava , OM .

नमस्ताराय । 8.8

kamakoti.org/kamakoti/stotra/Sri%20Rudram%20Anuvakam8.html

Mantra 8



नमस्ताराय ।





Meaning:



ताराय- Of the form of Pranava.





Explanation:



It is stated in Veda** and Sivapuranas that the meaning of Pranava (Omkara) is Sri Parameswara. In the sense that there is no difference between word and direct meaning, and word and intended import, Sri Rudra can be said to be of the form of Pranava.



‘तारः’ can also be interpreted to mean one who helps in rescuing Jivas from the ocean of samsara and bestows Mukti.

(E.g. Sri Rama nama being taaraka mantram.)



The import of this mantra is that Sri Parameswara should be worshipped for Moksha also.

[3] On this:

ईश्वरप्रणिधानाद्वा — Is’vara pran’idhaanaadvaa



profound devotion to Is’vara [3]

Does not Bulusu know that Elst, that self-declared expert who knows more* about Hindoo heathenism than actual Hindoo heathen Experts and tradition (as per himself and his fans, some of whom have crowned him their 'guru' and even gushed about him being a 'god') has declared - to the applause of his parrots - that:

Thus, "Īśvara" is defined merely as "a distinct purusa untouched by afflictions, actions, fruitions or their residue" in YS 1:24, but has been assigned the exclusive meaning of "God/Shiva", nowadays assumed in the expression "Īśvarapranidhāna" (YS 1:23, 2:1, 2:32, 2:45). It is on the basis of little else than this expression’s repeated appearance that the YS is classified among the theistic systems. Even if it means "devotion to God", that still does not make Yoga theistic, for God still plays no role in the definition and structure of the system, only the devotion itself is credited with playing a helpful role in the yogi’s progress. Nowhere does Patañjali say that "union" is sought with God nor with anything else. On the contrary, the stated goal of his system is kaivalya, "isolation, separation", the very opposite of "union", and equivalent with the notion kevala of the atheistic Jaina system. Patañjali accommodates the devotee yet avoids burdening the unbeliever with a requirement to believe.

Personally, any "Hindus" that saw no offence in ignoring Rudra in yoga need not pretend to be offended when Modi et al remove the OM from yoga too.
