India's Contribution to Evolution's Progress Hiranyagarbha is the source of Pranashakthi in the universe. This Supreme Power, also known as Prana, the ultimate source of all energy operating in the universe, is also the source of the Energy of Life in every living organism and the ultimate source of mental energy and of the psychic energies of the occult universe . The dynamics of Prana, when operating in psychic and material life, can be controlled devotedly to some extent and wisely activated and harnessed to provide more life energy to living organisms and to provide the impetus for human evolution in every janma. Prana and the human mind are closedly related and influence each other. The Moon, revolving around the Earth, is also linked to these psychic forces: ( "chandramaa manaso jaatah" ). That is one of the reasons why, in the spiritual field, the Science of Astrology plays a great part in guiding human activity especially for sadhakas who adopt Karma Yoga to eradicate, at least to some extent, by its practice, the samskaras that have accumulated during past janmas. The Science and Art of Praanaayaama, guided by Jyothisha Shaastra, will enable the Karma Yoga sadhaka to achieve the objective of dissolving his accumulated samskaras while taking part, at the same time, in useful service to sadhus in particular and to aspiring humanity in general. This is the secret of Nishkaama Karma Yoga which, during its thousands of years of practice by the priesthood, the royalty, the gentry and the populace of India, has made India the greatest operational living heritage site of the Spiritual World - a dynamic spiritual store-house. The altrustic approach, that Pranayama provides, has prevented India's ancient civilization from crumbling into the dust of history and archaeology. But today, no one can predict what the future holds for India as the Spiritual Centre of the world. It is possible that destiny may hand over the responsibility of leading the spiritual evolution of man, to some other region of the world that is more receptive to God's Grace and to the Prana Shakthi ( the Holy Mother, Paraashakthi, the Holy Spirit, the Pneuma, the Kalma, the elan vitae). This can happen in case India fails in its God-given responsibility of nourishing and protecting Dharma and constantly revealing the Sathya of which it has been a repository so far. Truth cannot remain hidden or monopolised for long by vested interest. Evolution demands the exposition of Dharma and Truth for the guidance of all. ___________________ hiranmayena paatrena sathyasyaabhihitam mukham. . . ______________ shanno mithrah sham varunah shanno bhavathyaryamaa shanna indro brihaspathih shanno vishnururukramah namo bhrahmane namasthe vaayo twameva prathyaksham brahmaasi |
