    Dear Rajiv ji. U r doing a great service to your mother culture and civilization. I feel perhaps u r doing the same thing like what Sankaracharya did to bring back the lost glory of Sanatan Dharma. But those days it was just Budhism which appropriated and converted Sanatan Dharma by whatever means, but now its More Barberic Abrahmism which are more powerful as they r global and spread across the whole world. We r just isolated one Hindu Nation out of 100+ Christian and 55+ Islamic Nations. The survival of Hindus becoming very difficult as we are witnessing how Political Parties, Communists, Missionaries, Jihadis and Intellectual Thugs ganged against Sanatan Dharma. Its a 100 times bigger than Mahabharat as its fight between Sanatan Dharma vs Rest across World.

      @ of course there is a lot to be worried about. Sanatan Dharm is not existing but somehow surviving. The gifts of Dharm have constantly been appropriated and decoupled from the source. Dharm now, is not what it was centuries ago. We have lost territory, we have lost people and now we are loosing intellectual property. If this trend continues then soon Dharm will be an artifact in museums :(

    Fundamental differences between a Western Mind and a Hindu Mind: Descartes "I Think therefore I Am" - Hindu Vedanta "I Am, therefore I Think"; Western "We are humans seeking Spiritual experience" - Hindu Vedanta "We are Spiritual beings in the Bodily experience". From these distinct profiles the appropriate mind sciences are sought. Hindu Vedanta minds do not just stop at Light - they seek the "Light of lights".

    I feel that when these practices are expropriated from various religious traditions and used only as techniques (in isolation) to beat stress, they may not lead to any lasting, lingering outcomes or healing. In short, the effects may be temporary and short lived. This may be due to two or three reasons: the technique being executed mechanically without believing in or internalizing the religious doctrine or philosophy that informs the practice; viewing the religious practice as a technique and thereby getting too attached or expectant about the results or outcomes, i.e., abhyaasa without vairagya. And when these practices are renamed and their religious sources erased, the doer may know only the technique but not the eligibility or the religious code/discipline required to benefit fully by that technique.
    For example, a practitioner can immensely benefit by TM if he remembers with gratitude and reverence the guru or grand teacher (Maharshi Mahesh Yogi) who has initiated or given deekshaa of the sacred sound to him. But in Relaxation Response technique, this would be viewed not as a necessity but a sentimental, non-science act that can be summarily ignored. Similarly, in the case of Vipaasana, the practice of externalising the mental and physical objects of phenomena while remaining their witness is meant to create in the practitioner a non-grasping attitude towards the objects of the world and thereby make him exercise a voluntary ceiling on his desires and seek a happiness not contingent on external objects. He is also expected by implication to consciously cultivate maitree, karuna, muditaa and upeksha towards all beings. All this deep moral and philosophical foreknowledge may not be triggered by practising it as Mindfulness technique.

      But who is listening.
      They want the proof in scientific way.
      To such people we must ask them to show air in a form and shape.
      The recovery rate is the proof. So this is the best time by keeping ourselves as the ayur or siddha says protect yourself with tulsi, neem, turmeric, ginger, dried ginger, guloe etc.

    There’s another leg to the well-being stool - diet. That’s the reason strict/sattvic diet is prescribed by Ayurveda to calm one’s mind. That’s also the reason Indian medicine system - Ayurveda - is truly an integrated system.
    I suspect what the ancients thought of as carryover from previous life may be an allusion to genetics.

    I think, Yoga, Mantra Japa, Meditation, Yoga nidra are all very general. Instead, it may be better to go deeper into the different forms of the mind. In Nirvana ashtakam, there it says four different forms of the mind. Manas which is the seat of emotions and feelings. Buddhi which is the seat of intelligence, judgement, discriminatory thinking. Ahamkara, which is the feeling of self, the id and underlying constant evolution of that. Finally Chittam, the consciousness, which is eternal and not limited to ones body. The "manomaya kosham" in "pancha kosha shareeram" pervades every cell in our body. The feelings and emotions can be reflected into every part of our body. I guess there can be particular electrical impulses going through out our body via nervous connections to maintain this "manomaya kosham". There needs a more physiological correlates to these different compartments of the mind and it needs to be studied more elaborately. 🙏🏼

    Mantra meditation is occidentalized so that use of inert sounds as a substitute to the oriental idea of using specific mantra sounds, usually given after initiation by a Guru. What they forget is the impact of certain sounds on the physiology of the human. Mantras give that needed placebo to evoke the positive effects in the person. It is best the occidentals understand this and stop adulterating the process, thus reducing the outcome!
