AaXyanay àyaejnaÉavat! (äüsUÇm!-3-3-14)Ädhyänäya prayojanäbhävät (Brahmasütram-3-3–14)
Meaning: For meditation; as there is no other necessity (of any other purpose).
The central theme here is Gunopasamhara - (method of qualifying the deities of Upasana for channelizing the mental energy). Acharya Badarayana focuses here on a statement from Kathopanishat:
#iNÔye_y> pra ýwaR> AweR_yí pr< mn>,mnsStu pra buiÏ> buÏeraTma mhan! pr>. mht> prmVy´m! AVy´at! pué;> pr>,
pué;aÚ pr< ikiÂt! sa kaóa sa pra git>.. k.% 1-3-10 11.
Objects of sense are higher than the senses: and higher than the objects of sense is the Mind: and higher than the Mind is Buddhi; and higher than that is Mahat. And higher than Mahat is the Un-manifest and higher than that is Purusha: these are none higher than the Purusha. Purusha is the culmination. He is the highest goal of the journey.
These mantras arrange the various faculties of human being in hierarchy while identifying one as superior to the other in respect to its subtlety and deepness. For instance, five senses have their respective objects of perception; here objects are superior to the mind as they are capable of enticing and luring when senses come in contact with objects. Mind is superior to sense etc. In this way while organizing in order, it mentions the ultimate destination is Purusha, a conscious being causing all activities.
What is there to analyses in this statement? Is it
really a matter of comparing one faculty with others or something else is intended?
The answer is as follows: with an analysis of these mantras one comes to know that obviously Buddhi is greater than Manas and Manas greater than senses. Keen observation will conclude that these mantras are offered for the purpose of Dhyana and Upasana. What is the point in proving one is greater than the other? While meditating or sublimating mind towards Atma (theory of everything), one has to have an appreciation of how greatest and deepest Atma is when compared to anything else in the world. It’s intending to put it in superlative degree only to consider it (Atma) to be the supreme. Kastha (ultimate horizon) in this series is that Purusha in every respect. Going beyond all the limitations is the goal of reaching the state beyond sorrows and pains. That is the achievement when one goes beyond frames, limitations, bondages and narrowness and that is the utility of all these processes.
The intention of introducing these levels is to shackle the limitations of one’s own senses, mind, intellect etc. What we read from Sutra is “prayojana-abhava” (no purpose) other than fixing the mental power to the ultimate reality, highest power center. The only means to go beyond the death or mortality is Dhyanam (deep absorption into the fixed goal such as Atma) through intensive Sadhana. If it is asked

In economics we refer to these bye-productsas positive externalities.

This attitude affords usthehugebonusofenjoyingourmaterialbenefitsrather than be continuously running after thenext material goal and suffering immensestressthatarisesfromdis-satisfaction.Materialattainment,whether ofmoneypower or fame,

S-VYASA is now globally recognized tobe at the forefront of subjecting Ayurvedato scientific rigor and validation.

Traditional, Complementary and AlternativeMedicine (TCAM) practitioners play animportant role in providing health services tothepopulationincountrieslikeChina.TCAMinChinaaccountedfor16%oftotalmedicalcarein2015,upfrom14%in2011.InIndiaTCAM’sshareinoutpatientcareisabout10%andinhospitalcare less than 1%.

In 2016, the integration ofChinese andWesternmedicinewasmandatedbylawaccordingtowhichTraditionalChineseMedicinemustbedeliveredinpublicly-fundedgeneralhospitalsaswellasinmotherandchildcarecentres.

AYUSHandotherformsoftraditionalmedicineshave not received their due recognitionsince independence. However, the presentgovernmentisworkingtoformallymainstreamAYUSHandrevitaliselocaltraditionsundertheNational Rural Health Mission. The NationalHealth Policy, 2017 also recommended themainstreaming of AYUSH. The governmenthas allowed 100% FDI inAYUSH. The Centrefor Integrative Medicine & Research (Yoga& Ayurveda) is a pioneering initiative byAIIMS, New Delhi, which seeks to convergecontemporary medicine with the ancient andtraditional medical practices of India. Anagreement has been signed with the WorldHealthOrganisationfordevelopingbenchmarksand standards for Yoga, Unani, Ayurveda, and Panchkarma.
NowwithDr.Nagendra’sactiveguidanceandcooperation,wehave launchedan initiative inNITIAayogforpromotingIntegrativeMedicinein India. NITI Aayog’s recently launchedStrategy for New India @ 75 recommends thatAYUSH services should be co-located in atleast 50% of primary health centres, 70% ofcommunityhealthcentresand100%ofdistricthospitalsby2022-23.Ourlong-termgoalshouldbetoemulatetheChinesepracticeofintegratedcoursesinmedicalcollegesinwhichallmedicalstudentswillberequiredtostudybothmodernand traditional forms ofmedicines in the firsttwo years.

approaches. It is high time thatmy friends inthe allopathic community andmembers of theIMAgiveuptheirantipathytowardstraditionalmedicine practitioners and work with NITIAayog to ensure thatwemake the best use ofour human resources to fill the yawning gapsof health providers at practically all levels ofhealthcaresysteminthecountry.
I cannot but use this excellent opportunityafforded by Dr. Nagendra to talk of my ownjourney fromadevoutNastik andoneweddedto dialectical materialism to become a seekerof spiritual depth and self-realization. Robotsarenowthreateningtotakeovertheworldandarmed with artificial intelligence already atthe cusp of making us humans redundant formeetingallourmaterialneeds.Theyarealreadydisplayingbrainpowerhigherthanhumansandtaking over not only routine but also complexand soft tasks,which had been so far the solepreserve of us homeo sapiens. Therefore, thequestion must be asked about the goal andobjectiveof thehumanrace.Swamijiprovidedthe answer already in his brilliant short lifewhen he said, “The rational West is earnestlybentuponseekingouttherationality,theraison d’ ëtre ofallitsphilosophyanditsethics;”Buthealsowarnedthatnohumancreationorperson,ofeventhehigheststaturecanbethesourceoftheseethicsandmorality.BecauseaccordingtoSwamiVivekananda,“…Where is thateternalsanctiontobefoundexceptintheonlyinfiniterealitythatexistsinyouandinmeandinall,intheSelf,intheSoul.”
Therefore,myyoung friendsyouhave tonowembark upon another journey, as I did onmyown in 1988, to identify with your Self, theSoulandtryandachieveSelfRealization.Thatjourney can be Sahaja, in fact according toall Satgurus, should be simple. The SupremePower has createdus in his / her own image,has bestowed each one of us irrespective ofreligion, caste, creed, colour or class,with thesubtle mechanism within us that can be usedto achieve this. God has only given us, the
humanrace,theabilitytoevolvefromonelevelof consciousness to a higher level andbecomedeeperinourseekingandSpirituality.Sofar,wehave prided anddistinguished ourselves fromall other creationson thebasis of the amazingcapabilityofourbrains- theultimatemachine.But nowwe are facedwith theprospect ofAIdriven machines becoming smarter, clevererandfasterthanthemostsuperiorhumanbrains.The experiments on going at the SingularityUniversity in the Bay Area, are showing thatthisisnowanalmostirrevocablepath.
It isperhapsnowtimeforustoevolvefurtherandmakeSpiritualityourprincipaldriver.Thatwould imply achieving Yoga- defined as theUnion (yoking together) of the Self with theParam Chaitanya or the merging of the Atman with theParmatman. Frommyown experienceoverthelastthreedecades,Iamconvincedthatwehave theresources,andmayIdaresay thescience that canmake itpossible for theentirehuman race to achieve Yoga. I have found itthrough Sahaja Yoga, propounded by ShriMatajiNirmalaDevisince1970.Itenablesustorecognizeanduseoursubtlesystemofthenadis and chakras to achieve yoga and the resultantnirvichar Samadhi, even if for fleeting moments.It holds out the prospect of achieving Nirvikalp Samadhi that would end all doubts and questions.
MystrongdesireisforS-VYASAtodevotethesmallestshareofitsresourcesinvalidatingtheclaims made by proponents of Sahaja Yoga.These,tothebestofmyknowledge,arebackedby empirical evidence gathered over the lastfourdecadessinceitsinception.

INVITATION
Dear all,
We, the organizing committee members, invite you to the International conference on -
The biggest and the most comprehensive Yoga and Cardiology meeting in India will be held at Rishikesh, a magnet for spiritual seekers, the “Yoga Capital of the World”, also known as “Dev Bhumi” or the land of the Gods. Located in the foothills of the Himalayas along the banks of the river Ganga, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Rishikesh is a 100-bedded advanced medical center.
The Cardiovascular Department of AIIMS, Rishikesh will host this conference to bring about a confluence of the latest in modern medicine and ancient healing techniques for today's medical practitioners. The occasion will bring together the Himalayan Masters of Meditation and the world's most famous physician scientists who endeavoured not only to discover the science behind Meditation but to implement it in clinical practice.
The Conference outputs will include a high-level statement including practical guidelines to caregivers of Cardiovascular diseases and how to harness the power of yoga and meditation for rehabilitation and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. This would be a historic addition to the science and understanding of the use of Meditation to decrease the mortality of cardiovascular diseases.
This meditation and science conference will bring together the brightest minds of our day, doing scientific research on yoga and meditation's effects on cellular regeneration, longevity, consciousness and health. Internationally recognized speakers will describe their own groundbreaking research, demonstrate models that integrate eastern philosophy and western medicine, and provide practical guidance for the use of these techniques in clinical medicine.
Billions of dollars are needed to combat cardiovascular diseases, which is the biggest killer in the world today. Such a symposium will help determine a unique way of combining the best of modern medicine and age-old Hindu practices that is relevant in the scenario.

as to on what one should meditate, the answer is Atma, which is ultimate as read in Kathaopanishat time and again. For meditation one should not consider sensory perception or inferential objects as object of meditation, but beyond body and its limitations which is Atma.
The next Sutra in this Adhikara re-emphasizes the use of word Atma in multiple occasions in Kathopanishat to conclude that the context of discussion is meditation on supreme self. Few mantras focus on mastering the senses to reach the destination for which one has to pursue Yoga and Adhyatma Sadhana relentlessly. Vijnana (awareness of consciousness) is the key method to reach the goal. Purity of mind, sublimation of intellect etc
will be achieved by the process of Yoga Sadhana which plays a major role in realizing the reality.
“sae=Xvn> parmaßaeit tiÖ:[ae> prm< pdm!. k % 1-3-9. “ - “One reaches the platform of pinnacle of pure existence in the path to reality’’. Vishnu does mean all pervasive entity, not limited by name, form, space and time etc as told in Puranas.
