Some processes and premises in Yoga
By Alok Pandey - Jul 15, 2019
The field of yoga may be called as the field of the psycho-spiritual evolution of man. Its base is the inner subjective space and human body as it stands today. As in any field, yoga involves certain processes and premises that relate to its field of the psychological evolution of man. We discuss some of these premises and processes in this article.
Psychology with a soul
By Alok Pandey - Apr 24, 2020
The missing piece of the human puzzle is the soul. Without it we only skim around adjusting the different pieces of human nature, shifting the different pieces in search of the ever-elusive centre. But once the soul is discovered then the rest of the pieces start falling into place.
Modes of nature and the enemies of the soul
By Alok Pandey - Oct 15, 2020
Yoga psychology recognises at least three different modes of nature in its working. These are universal modes and can be seen operating from the atoms and starts to the most complex human beings. It is through one or the other of these modes that human beings ordinarily operate. These are being discussed here.
Human Relationships and Yoga — I
By Alok Pandey - Jul 15, 2021
The field of human relationships is one of the most complex and challenging aspects of human existence. Yet how little do we know about it? It is not a subject we are taught in school. Whatever we learn about it is through the school of nature and by the time we have learnt our lessons it is often too late. These few articles are an attempt to understand this aspect from the yogic standpoint and see what it has to say about it.
Encountering Reality
By Alok Pandey - Apr 24, 2019
It is important to answer a few fundamental questions before we can live life meaningfully; among them a question of capital importance is as to the nature of Reality that underlies creation. Is it a mechanical inconscient energy or a conscious Force? Whatever it be, this Reality must be also within us since it is the origin and the source of all things. Is there a way to contact and confirm this Reality? These are the questions that have vexed mankind. Among the answers sought to these questions, the most promising seems to be coming through yoga. It is not just a philosophy or a belief-system but a real-time process of engaging and discovering Reality.
