Hindu Sastra (Science) of Knowledge
 Knowledge (Jnana) has no unique form of
existence. It can be preserved, altered or lost.
Hindu Nyaya Sastra identified totality of
knowledge with following components called
pramanas:
 Components of knowledge (pramana):
1. Perception by ordinary senses (laukika)
and by attained experience (alaukika).
2. Inference (anumāna), needs investigation
to resolve.
3. Comparison (upamāna) or analogy or by
equating with known objects.

source of Knowledge,  Knowledge has life element (personalized
Art and Wisdom perception) and time dependency
(testimony may be available or lost), hence it is
dynamic in nature.

Hindu way of Knowledge Acquisition and Application

As stated by Hindu Philosophy:
1. Acquiring true knowledge (Divya Jnana)
is always stretcherous and painful
journey in the myriad of fallacy
manifestations called Maya (unclear
barrier).

2. Therefore , one should not compromise
or delimit himself in reaching divine
goals (Ex: wisdom on social objectives,
morals, serving the needy, etc).

Tantra as flexibility for long period continues performance
which could be physical, mental or both.

The Tantra, when the objectivity is divine seeking
 It is based on Samkhya Yoga, which is a Dvaita (dualistic) theory, and
it says Purusha (Divine) and Prakriti (ever changing nature) are
initiating the Jeeva (for living).
 But, due to desires, the individual is continued to be in bondage or
attachment to the surroundings; which results in suffering to Jeeva.
 The divine goal is to overcome the bondage by attaining Moksha
(Emancipation), Moksha means Jeeva is liberated to be with Divine.
 The process of liberating Jeeva is called Swatantra – Paratantra Union,
explained in slide No:13.

Understanding Yoga as Harmonized Union
1. Yoga is process of harmonizing
(Samanvaya) the body, mind and
individual’s self with external
environment and then try to attain
Universally Stable Knowledge (Vijnana)
about ever changing Prakruti (Nature).
The attained Vijnana need to be taught
to others.

Harmony in complexity

Swatanta-Paratantra Union
1. Tantra means Aligned force with unbroken continuity.

2. The state of Swatanta means being independent with knowledge of ever
changing Prakruti (Nature). Knowing Prakruti means knowing Divine.

3. Acquisition of knowledge on ever changing Prakruti is possible
with tantra practice, in which combined forces of body are aligned with
mind, individual’s self and then spreads into the external environment for
understanding the Prakruti (nature).

4. The external environment has its own divergent (all angle, all direction),
and conflicting forces.

5. The individual, the external environment, and others are all part of ever
changing Prakruti, which are very divergent and conflicting.

6. Paratantra means Aligning with external forces.

7. Swatantra – Paratantra Union means the realized individual (Jeeva) can
pass the knowledge and wisdom to other individuals perennially, for social
benefit. The process is by aligning himself with other Jeevas, and then
drawing their attention and communicate.

Yogic Procedure and Maharshi Patanjali
Sage Patanjali (250BC) formalized the yogic life
(noble living with purpose) as eight fold path.

actions (Ahimsa), which do not cause
harm to self, society and environment.
2. Niyama: Self-discipline with satisfaction.
3. Yogasana: Proper posture to harmonize
the body and mind.
4. Pranayama: Rhythmic breathing by lungs,
Sage Patanjali muscles and bones for purifying the body
and remove mental distractions.

5. Pratyahara: Rightly manage all the senses and
mental reactions for proper concentration.

both in physical and mental world.
7. Dhyana: Achieve heightened awareness and
performance in solving the ‘problem space’.
8. Samadhi: Take proper rest to assimilate the
Bahubali
experience of earlier 7 steps; thus gain fresh
knowledge and energy.
 The ‘problem space’ is of various kinds, explained in the slide No:17
 One should not enter in to Samadhi without adopting to the eight fold
path. Such Samadhi is a wasteful sleep, cause laziness.

1. Meditation (Dhyanam) without Dharana, the 6th step of Yoga is
hollow. It is like wandering in the dark tunnel with out objectives.

perceived by the individual.
3. List of the subjects that can be owned as Dharana:
1. Prajna (skills and talent): For bread earning and leading daily
life with dignity.

 For every action, there is equal
and opposite reaction, which

 It is valid for all Static & Dynamic
conditions of both living and

This process constitutes life energy.
 But, the word Jeeva is know for living.

Notion of Time and Clock, in search of Purusha (divine)
Newton:
 Dimension independent of events, in which events occur
in sequence. Time is absolute. Time and Clock are same.
Leibniz:
 Time is neither an event nor a thing, thus it is not by
itself measurable nor it can be travelled.
Kent:
 Time does not refer to any kind of entity that ‘flows’,
Hour Glass that objects ‘move through’ or that is a ‘container of
events’. Hence, Time and Clock are not same.
Einstein:
 Events do happen at their own time, but sensing of
the event is relative to the dynamics of observer.
 Time and space are dualistic and transcend each other.
Hindu Kalacharkam:
 Cycle of birth and death repeats, hence time is not absolute,

Hindu Conclusion
Sri Adi Sankaracharya Advaita (non-duality)
Philosophy says the following 1 and 2 points:
1. Purusha (Divine) and Prakruti coexists
together but changes in Prakruti is always
due to Kalpana of Purusha.

2. It is not possible to be understand Purusha
and its Kalpana due to presence of Maya.

3. Search of Purasha never been completed.
But, four fundamental forces of nature,
Strong force, Field (Electromagnetic) force,
Weak (Van der Waals) force and
Gravitational force resemble Shakti,
Sri Adi Sankaracharya Vishnu, Bramha and Shiva respectively.

4. There is no existence of unified force and
single seed that let to creation of universe,
as per Hindu Sastra.
