[@purnimacheruvu1389]

I am from India and from what I have heard and read from many yogis and the elderly is that Indians started cultivating crops 7000 or more years ago. They had plenty to eat and therefore many started looking inwards. That's how the spiritual practice of yoga began!!! I recently started doing Hatha Yoga, and I have never felt so energetic in my entire life so far!!! So grateful to my ancestors!!!

[@CrazyLinguiniLegs]

@@dhanush358 according to what I have read from the talks of Upasani Baba, idols were (and are) constructed because it is difficult for most people to concentrate on the absolute, impersonal, unmanifested God. So an idol--it doesn't even have to be carved, it could be just some rock--is taken and worshipped as God, imbued with the qualities of God. And eventually that idol assists the worshipper in concentrating fully on God, forgetting one's individual self (jiva) and realizing the Self. Does this agree with what you know about the history of idols in India?

[@sb-lt7wp]

Joe , you asked a very important question 'How did Indian Civilization folks, concentrated on breath work when rest of the world was hunting and in stone age ' ? If there were such advanced Yogic Practices around 4500 years back, it was because the civilization was advanced in all aspects of the life including various sciences like Astronomy , Mathematics, Civil Engineering , Alloys ,Herbal Medicines and others. The amount of deliberate mis-information on that whole civilization is staggering and beyond comprehension. If you read Swami Rama's book 'Living with Himalayan Masters' it has references to practices that would directly contradict some of the current scientific thinking .

All these original books are in Sanskrit (Living ancient Indian language, that forms basis for today's grammar in many languages including English).

In the yogic culture, Shiva is the Adi Yogi or the first Yogi.The first part of Shiva's teaching was to Parvati, his wife.In great detail, and in very gentle ways, Shiva expounded the ways of yoga to Parvati, wife of Lord Shiva. The second set of teachings was given to Seven Sages for betterment of human kind.

Joe, you should really call Nilesh Nilkanth Oak on your podcast. His work very scientifically proves that at least in India, there has been 17000 years long unbroken civilization. He analyses astronomical references made in ancient sanskrit texts, dismissed as calculation errors by mainstream historians, and compares them with geological data, climatological data, to come up with a robust timeline of history. It matches with what Graham Hancock surmises, and probably answers many mysteries of the ancient world and powers of the mind that you frequently explore. Contrary to what Graham says that answers lie in Americas, I suggest that many answers to the underlying thread of unity among the ancient civilizations lie in India.

There were guys way before Swami Rama, there was Swami Dayananda, who did breathing with body exercises that developed him incredible strength, there was another guy Ramamurthy who spent years in the company of Yogis learning and applying their breathing methods, to devise his own plan of strength gain, he always stressed it's never about the quantity of reps or anything the West do. It's about how slow you do it, eg taking upto 15 minutes to do one pushup like move with Kumbhak, Kumbhak meaning holding your breath, suspending it for as long as you can. Which was the secret to his unreal strength not seen since. He did Pranayama for 3 hours every morning before doing this. Even wrestlers of India themselves haven't even heard or read of these traditions of their Ancient masters.

Relative of mine has an issue with high-blood pressure. Measures his BP everyday. One day, just after his reading, I suggested to him a breathing session. Took another reading immediately after the session. His BP had lowered significantly. We did this exercise several times in the following days. The results were immediate and consistent. Fast forward, several months later: Does said relative practise the technique I taught him? Nope! "Too busy", he claims. Does he take the time to measure his BP daily? Yep. "Important to monitor my health", he says. 🤦‍♂🤷‍♂ Yogic breathing techniques do work but very few people practise them consistently. I've been guilty of procrastination at times, too. I'm no yogi but I try to be fairly consistent with some basic breathing techniques. BTW, do yourself a favour and get a hold of the book - Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Why Indus Valley(and many more India civilizations before that not in western books yet) was able to develop these techniques- 1000s of years of peaceful existence due to geography of India.. Himalaya on top, Ocean at bottom and east and huge desert on west side. Not many invaders could challenge. For such inner science to develop, stable and peaceful environment is a must.

[@DudleyDancer]

Really nice video. But i want to clarify somethings. Indus Valley Civilization was built not around Indus river. It was actually in the Saraswati river. A river that dried up 4500 years ago. The cities built around them were a source for economics and trade. Since the cities diminished due to drying up of Sarasvati, the ppl moved out systematically, over hundereds of years. That's why you don't find any valuable documentary evidence. Secondly, cities were never a place for learning and research. For that, we had Ashrams, which were run by great sages. Eacha Ashram specialized in a specific form of knowledge. Arts, medicine, warfare, Alchemy etc.

[@brooklyn_domino]

The yoga poses are actually religious figurines of Rudra i.e. Lord Shiva. Also recent research has proved that the Aryan/Vedic civilization was pretty much a part of Indus valley civilization. The old theory that Aryans came into India from the Caucasian has been debunked recently based on a genome research that was done recently n published the science magazine.

[@rairadio7119]

Yes, previously there was a colonial effort to prove that everything came from Europe. When our scriptures and temple art proves it's a completely distinct local development. You dont even have to do genome research. Because it's not about where the people came from, but where it was developed. Like people from everywhere flock to America and create inventions today.

[@Ymirson999]

He was right about the positive effect of concentrated breathing for people with anxiety issues. After years of anxiety/depression issues, the first time I did a seated meditation practice at 21, the immediate and obvious results ans benefits were notable. My sense of relaxation came within the first 5 minutes. It felt like my body had been a tightly clenched fist and for perhaps the first time ever my body opened into a calm and relaxed state. It took me a few years to figure out that such breathing exercises work better in the long run either with the postures of yoga or (in my case) doing a taiji form. The forms of taiji generates positive (yang) energy and then afterwards, the seated meditation produces negative (yin) energies, creating a balance in your health, but mentally and psycho-emotionally the two combined created a much healthier whole. Yes, it sounds like new age, tree-hugging blather, but it's still true that such practices did far more to make me happy than saturating my body with chemicals like zoloft or prozac ever did.

What I believe is the prolonged exposure to knowledge and life. Even the most modest estimates of the Indian civilization starts at at least 20000 yrs. The monotonous life set amidst the food security, safety from outside forces, solid knowledge, all set the way for search for something more that is non-physical and beyond all powers and greater than anything mortal. This thirst and the situation paved way for theories, Vedanta, Meta physical research. What they did isn't mere actions, but actions based on facts and experiential knowledge. If you ask me, when are you actually very well placed to achieve something greater? It is when all your basic needs are taken care of, safety is not a concern, coz that makes one's mind idle and probably focused as well. This civilization is very old and any other civilization that is this old and under similar circumstances would have given the same result. But its something profound. Geography played a great role in terms of safety too.

The union of the mind body within yourself & living in a higher state of awareness perpetually is fulfilling. Kriya yoga is the eternal fountain of bliss within yourself.

Joe Rogan should also look into the studies conducted on Sri Aurobindo by French researchers in Pondicherry in the 20th century.

As people know, in the yogic scriptures and yogic culture, Adiyogi, also known as a Shiva in Yogic Culture was the first to experience alignment with the universe through mental, physical, and emotional practices 15000 years ago, in the Himalayas. Yoga, meaning union in Sanskrit is a series of postures that not only helps your stress and back pain but also aligns your physical, mental, and spiritual geometry with the universe at large. Hatha Yoga is the physical form of yoga, it includes the various postures that are famous in the Western World., these exercises help the cells in your body in unimaginable ways and reengineer your physical system to work efficiently. Jnana yoga is the yoga of the mind, where through various meditation practices, you can find the answers to our existence and beyond to reflect within yourself. It's the toughest form of Yoga only meant for the ones who have the mental abilities to fully reflect without identifying with the ego. There's Kriya Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and other types of emotional forms of connection with the one. We believe in science, but science is an evolutionary quest that is still far behind what Yoga and Yogic engineering signify. To understand what is you, without your body and your mind, to truly understand your sense of identity and the cosmic intelligence that governs us and turns food into a part of us is what yoga strengthens, reflects on, and is based on. If you're reading this, understand that no matter who your worship, or what you believe in, things exist even if science hasn’t proven it yet. Science didn’t prove radio waves 200 years ago and if you told someone that you can talk to another person from thousands of miles away wirelessly, they would call you crazy and a fantasy believer. Just like that, science needs to explore and not exploit, and to truly understand what lies out where and on our planet, we need to look within., by doing so, we shall unlock all the mysteries of the universe and beyond. There are energies around us that science can't explain, but it does acknowledge them. Keep on the journey of doubt, skepticism, and exploration. But a skeptic, but don't be ignorant. Om Namah Shivay.

I can see that you have an extensive knowledge on this topic ,i would like to learn too about yoga and everything that entails it ,do you happen to know where could i go so that i could begin to learn from the real masters of yoga. It doesn't matter if it's in India or in the most remote parts of the Tibet. I have searched online for a lot of information about yoga and it is the most interesting thing I have ever seen, but it is incredibly difficult to understand many aspects without a real mentor. Also, most of the texts available are not the most reliable and I really wouldn't want to learn something that actually turns out to be wrong in actual yoga practice.
