Unlikely, IMO..a lot of Indians I meet here in America haven't even heard of him! MMY did a lot of good and advanced science in the direction of consciousness.

[@Vijay-pm5vv]

A very clear interpretation of Patanjali Yoga sutras by maharishi .I have seen those who meditate their devotional singing also reflects its impact on the listeners too . They sing from the deeper realms of the soul not out of their egoistic mind.

[@dr.rashmisarmah2076]

I bow to Maharishi for enlightening us with the age old legacy of knowledge and wisdom flowing from ancient times

“Purpose of creation is expansion of happiness.” Such beautiful expressions! My beautiful Guru 🙏🏽. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeanettemclean2224]

Thank you! This is wonderful. He's so precious and wise.

[@mikebarnes7734]

I could never make much sense from what he said. However, so many Indian teachers I have subsequently had the privilege of hearing have been perfectly articulate in their understanding of spiritual science

[@DevinP2223]

I understand him perfectly. It may be a lack of prerequisite knowledge/experience.

[@mikebarnes7734]

@@DevinP2223 Yes, I agree that he doesn't appear to have had the necessary experience and his vicarious knowledge was therefore unconvincing. In hindsight this is all too obvious that his apparent lack of experience was obfuscated by gobbledygook.

[@gerardo2360]

Too bad he contradicted himself when he said in his BG that ALL limbs were meant to be *practiced simultaneously* (Gita appendix-Yoga)@@DevinP2223

Video Highlight content part 2: - Normally functioning human nervous system is capable of maintaining that pure awareness at all times cosmic consciousness, the state of yoga. - Individual united with the cosmic and permanently established on that value. At yoga accomplishes that by taking into account the condition of the body. Also concern with the breathing, some breeding exercise, some deep, some shallow, some quick, some fast, different patterns of breathing in order to break the natural pattern of breathing, culture the breath to be so refined that the whole system could be helped for increasing purity in Hatha Yoga. - Mantra Yoga, taking the mantras. Along with the mantra breathing is associated and did all kinds of purity in behavior and all kind of do and don’t, all these various system in order that the breathing could become refined. - it feels like the table has 4 legs and you draw 1 leg of the table and all other 3 follow that, you may pick up anywhere also produce the same effect of all following 1. - The purpose of yoga philosophy was not to force and goal or discipline by force. Something should be incorporated in the daily routine whereby without any sense of control. - know control is opposed to evolution. Control is awkward to evolution. Life spontaneously proceeds to its higher levels evolution. - The force of creation is embedded in the force of evolution. Life must evolve. Any kind of control means you want the current of life to be stagnant, make your mind there and make it steady don’t let it deviate, concentrate. - Control is damaging to the purpose of life, evolution is good natural. - any inception of desire or any analysis, any manipulation, any expectation it just is jarring to demand. You feel as if you get headache here and there. Intention to concentrate produces strain and what will happen when the whole philosophy of integration is based on the principle of control. From our experience we know, that slightest idea that “I must transcend”, not even MUST maybe this time I will succeed even faint expectation, very faint idea, very faint idea of concentration put a resistance to different to the process. - yoga philosophy is so perfect but in its misinterpreted form, it is only damaging to progress and evolution

[@gerardo2360]

I think devotion (religion) and meditation (experience) are meant to go hand , we don't throw out Religion, or in this case all of Patanjali's *means* to Yoga and only practice Dhyana (meditation). As MMY said in his Gita appendix on Yoga, "all *means* were meant to be practiced *simultaneously*, MMY"

[@davecc0000]

It would be nice to know where and when these talks were originally recorded.

[@johannesburgreal441]

yes definitely would like to know that too! because so much of what MMY says seems so far ahead of his time

Revival of perfection in life by Yoga science

[@DharmaLiving]

to ensure progress toward light regular TM and Siddhi is daily practice. Now enlightenment irresistible why because you are already that state, mater of realise and live that values.

[@mrkang1154]

Video content highlight: - the whole yoga philosophy now has been very highly misinterpreted. - misinterpreted yoga becomes a mean of discipline the mind, controlling the mind. Control is opposed to evolution. - different system has been interpreted to control of the mind through the process of concentration, repeated practice of concentration will inculcate a natural state of control. - 'control' was advocated in current yoga teaching. - yoga lost its charm, effectiveness, resulted form is suffering. - due to not properly understanding the philosophy and practice of what is called Yoga, which mean Union. - Union of Yoga is individual mind come in unity with cosmic intelligence, with universal awareness. - mind coming to be united with the universal awareness, is our experience that breathing, body, senses are influenced , it turn inwards as the mind goes deep in, the senses sees to experience outside better and inward, breathing become horrifying, body becomes so relaxed, it just doesn’t move here and there. In our experience, the habits of behavior, attitude changed. All the negative habits drop off, positivity springs. In the field of behavior and senses, body, mind, prana, all these different sphere of individual life are influenced. - Yoga philosophy is such a perfect and self-sufficient system of integration of life. - this is the chapter of Hatha Yoga. “Hatha” mean Force, by force one would transform the body to a value where awareness of the individual will be in tune with the universal awareness. - hatha yoga starts to advocate bending of the body here and there, so that the structural and material transformation, it advocates a lots various practices so that impurities in the system, along with the stretches may turn out only by taking the body into account it’s prescribed so many activities of the body pertaining to the body. - to create that high state of purity if the nervous system where the structure is functioning most normally.

[@gerardo2360]

Pranayama itself means *breath control*......so Patanjali recommended Prana control, which has to do with lifting the sacred fire of kundalini in the spine.

[@mrkang1154]

@@gerardo2360 Which sentence of Patanjali Yoga Sutra mentioned about concept of Kundalini?

[@gerardo2360]

I was making a general comment, don't know if Patanjali mentions the word specifically in his Yoga sutras, however, pranayama is more than just external breath control, it is also the subtle vital energy of the body control, which when directed upwards in the spine results in enlightenment, this is Yoga 101. (See- pranamaya kosha)@@mrkang1154

[@mahagyanguru7101]

Mahrshi 100% wrong when he says Patanjali has advocated transcendental meditation is equal to Patanjali ashtang yog that is wrong again he criticized ramanuj and bhakti he never understood ramanuj and never understood Shankar also. Shankara denied the existence of the world and called it a dream but mahrshi says it is real and one should live 200% of that means neither he understands Shankara nor he understands ramanuj aur Patanjali his advice is 100% wrong

[@gerardo2360]

Although, Maharishi contradicted himself when he wrote in the Bhagavad-Gita in the appendix under yoga that all limbs were meant to be practiced simultaneously. So which is it? He also calls the Limbs, *means* to yoga. I can only conclude that he was a little mixed up when It came to Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga.

[@HassanAli-eo8pc]

I think he meant limbs taken together so there is no confusion.He meant them with reference to wholeness.

[@kimbella66]

No contradiction, all limbs could be work together to improve speed on progress towards Cosmic Consciousness, making the whole system in better shape so that the nervous system can experience transcendental consciousness in a more systematic manner. All Limbs are means by which the mind can experience Samadhi, means to transcend: Yoga. He represented the very same tradition to which Patanjali belongs, Vedic Tradition, he knew his philosophy inside out, no contradiction, just take time for the mind to understand the apparent contradictions. Continue with your regular practice of TM, and slowly but surely a greater understanding will dawn in you, I'm not being condescending. Namaste.

[@sukhdevseoni4518]

Dear William, ARE YOU A TM PRACTITIONER ? HOW LONG?.......

[@mangal4747]

Limbs of a body grow simultaneously and in harmony. Not first one fully and then another... That is the point he makes.
