Knowledge is Power...

              ...Information is Cheap              

       

 

One very wealthy person told me only recently, “You are a genius, Deolal…but business runs the world”. The same person has had wave after wave of health challenges, and for all the wealth, one thought looms and has even become a shadow thought. I am not going to say what that thought is.

Health is a dynamic condition and as such is continually changing. The intention then, is to increase the individuals ability to recognize these changes to be able to enhance their health and vitality. Towards this objective, everyone becomes a consumer.

Everyone wants one thing and that one thing is personal freedom. behind many diverse statements one hears..."If I had my will...", "If I had the freedom to..." , If only I had the money I would have the freedom to..."

In order to have this freedom the first thing that one has to do is define who they are. This call Personal Virtues. They have to establish who they are within themselves. This cannot be told but has to be discovered.

This is a subject of personal virtues, personal education, personal economics, personal passion, personal freedom. these principles of yoga might be translated as Yoga Economics.

 

This site is designed for people who are seeking deeper understanding of themselves, Self Transformation Program (STP). Since the physical body is the gateway to subtler systems, it is necessary to have a  greater understanding of health, rejuvenation, flow and longevity. As an attempt to help individuals break free from constricting paradigms, this site is also a resource for alternative and integrative therapies. 

Unfortunately if something is beyond the scope of our experience, providing information about the same is of little use.  There is a systematic way to approaching any subject matter and one should be aware of this fact. 

Not all therapies or philosophies will be discussed but an attempt to understanding the subtle and subtler essences of ourselves will be made. I will continue to find ways to help each one of us evolve, as I continue in this life long evolutionary process.  In this effort one has to become aware of misconceptions of health and medicine, which are very simply to form and hard to change.

Immediately I must point out that there are two kinds of knowledge one is theoretical and the other is experiential. Known as Sabda Jnana and Brahma Jnana.   Regardless of the branch of study one finds there are those who will approach from a scholastic point of view and then there are those who approach from a practical standpoint. Those who possess practical, experiential knowledge are not easy to find, since they are most probably in the field working.

The scholars are to be found everywhere and everything has to be measured and fit into the confines of what makes scholarly sense. They are referred to as the academic community. The matter of practical knowledge belongs to another culture which I have treated in another page in depth and with respect.

Here are a few to points to ponder on. There are some for whom these will make sense and become a springboard to dive deep, and of course there many for whom these will mean nothing and that is quite alright.

Maxims

	We are all citizens of two worlds: The external world and an internal world.
	No amount of information about the external could ever give the knowledge of the internal.
	The "human person" is a microcosmic universe, whatever is in the outer is in the inner; whatever is not in the inner is nowhere else to be found.
	Knowledge of the internal world gives us knowledge of the external.
	The more we know about the inner world, the easier it becomes to deal with the stresses of the external world. Information is very cheap and readily available, just at the click of a button! Information 'about anything' can be found on the Internet. However, the ancient yogic masters proclaim that no amount of searching in the external world will lead to the knowledge of the internal world.    Even  with countless lectures about the internal world, one will never come to know the internal world unless the personal journey is made through endeavor. Until the journey is made, we are all "echoing the words of the wise."   This site is designed to offer some highlights of the internal world, which is and will remain the individual's personal journey. As much as is possible, many applications of the ancient teachings unfolded by great masters, will be offered for the present day and age. At the same time we wish to keep the purity of the teaching for future generations and their adaptations, for their age. Let us journey together in this quest for the Secret inner knowledge and Self Mastery      The more we know the inner world, the easier it becomes to deal with the stresses of the external world.
