Yogi Baba Prem

Yogacharya, Veda Visharada. I chant for India, for Hindus worldwide. May dharma strengthen within the mind and heart of Bharata.

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

The academic term "modern postural yoga" reveals significant issues facing yoga and India. It is an acknowledgement of the removal of key dharmic teachings, notable among these is ācara! Education is a key to thwart efforts to import this back into Bharata .

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

@s48335x I can appreciate this, I am suggesting that this is a component for deeper understanding and translation of teachings, which, IMO, is an important aspect sometimes ignored/less valued in the west.

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

In commentary of dharmic teachings, at times in some commentaries, there is a missing component that even some Hindus miss, it is ācara. This is a portion of the true knowledge formula that is commonly ignored. Ācara is a foundation of noble people. #Hinduism

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

Even in Patanjali's "Yoga Sutras" the Yamas/Niyamas form a foundation of yogic knowledge/practice/realization. Their absence demonstrates some of the problems facing modern yoga.

AI has recently created and written a Buddhist text. Sanatana dharma must be vigilant in keeping such fake texts from infiltrating traditional teachings as authoritative. @davidfrawleyved #hinduism #dharma

From Sri Ganapati Muni's prarthana to Uma for Bharata.

May the great sage Ganapati establish the consciousness of welfare [for Bharata] 34.24

(We can each be a voice in establishing this welfare of harmonious consciousness in the Hindu diaspora.)

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

From the immortal words of Sri Ganapati Muni and the classic Umasahasram:

May Bharata be victorious and void of all sorrow... 34.24 Jai Ganapati Muni! Jayatu Bharata!!!

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

The west and the world fails to recognize that the India and Pakistan conflict has much more at stake globally. India is and has been on the front line of greater issues and should not shoulder this alone.

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

I asked AI (LLM) about the origins of the Vedas. Here is a portion of its answer:
"The origins of the Vedas are often linked to the Indo-Aryan migration into the Indian subcontinent, which brought with it a new set of religious and cultural practices."
Mccaulayisms new frontier.

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

There is profound danger of LLMs being a modern information version of the East India Company, missionary's and western academia all rolled into one.

[Dr. Lavanya Vemsani Ph.D. @ProfVemsani]

It’s important we work to reclaim our true history. If this false history gets embedded in LLMs and AI our future generations are going to be lost. #IndianHistory #ColonizedMinds

The mind seeks an answer. The intellect seeks appeasement. But the deeper understanding is known to the one and not the two.

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

"Guhā" can mean cave in Sanskrit. It is in the guhā we find the hidden Sun. Here in this guhā with the hidden Sun, we find the one that has manifested as many.

During the darkness of night, immersed within the wind of Brahman, we, together, enter the guhā as two. 1/x

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

2/x Deep within, the darkness gives way to the light of consciousness. We immerse ourselves in this light in a neverending dance of ananda. It is here we, the two, have become one. Together, we are now one.
What is this paradox? How can light and darkness simultaneously coexist?

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

India needs voice overs in English and other languages for its movies on Ramayana etc. Will introduce the world to its culture and beautiful teachings. China is ahead with this, India can easily catch up and surpass on this front.

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

Sanatana Dharma preserves the knowledge that you are consciousness, ātman/Purusha/Brahman. It is more expansive/comprehensive than the fragmented/conflicted definitions of soul. Clarity is possible through the light of dharma. (Jyotir dharma)

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

This 👇 from one of the most important voices of Sanatana Dharma.

[Dr David Frawley @davidfrawleyved]

The Vedas dwarf in size, complexity, number of kings and sages, depth of mantra, vision and realization the ancient teachings of Europe, Middle East and the Bible. Rigveda alone is much larger, multidimensional and cosmic oriented. Not simply books but ways of connecting to the Self-aware universe.

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

Translated in dynamic equalivence.

May peace radiate in the heavens, atmosphere, earth, water and plants.
May peace radiate with all the Devas.
May peace be in Brahman.
May all exist in complete peace.

Aum peace, peace, peace.

Shanti mantra to the three vedic worlds

ॐ द्यौः शान्तिरन्तरिक्षं शान्तिः

वनस्पतयः शान्तिर्विश्वेदेवाः शान्तिर्ब्रह्म शान्तिः
सर्वं शान्तिः शान्तिरेव शान्तिः सा मा शान्तिरेधि ॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

Notes the interconnectedness of the inner and external world. Which is realized through the purifying fire, which also supports our physical life. As Agni transforms the offering, the aspirant is transformed over time. This is one aspect why Agni is ratnadhatamam.

[Yogi Baba Prem @YogiBabaPrem]

अग्निमीळे पुरोहितं यज्ञस्य देवमृत्विजम् । होतारं रत्नधातमम् ।।
Agnimile purohitam yajnasya devam rtvijam
hotaram ratnadhatamam. RV 1.1

"I invoke Agni..." Agni is the first Deva invoked in the Rg Veda, which high lites the importance of Agni.

We give thought that this verse 1/x
