Ishavasya Upanishad, 1 All this (creation) is the dwelling of the Administrator, the Creator. ... It is from Yoga that Maharishi has given us the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi® programs, as well as Maharishi Yoga(SM) asanas. The main book of Yoga is the Yoga Sutras of Maharishi Patanjali. It has four chapters. One of the chapters describes the nature of pure consciousness. It has a chapter on practice and another on the TM-Sidhi program. The Yoga Sutras are a set of concentrated expressions of knowledge For example the second Yoga Sutra is, "Yogas chitta vritti nirodhah," which means, "Yoga is the least excited state of mind." This is a very good description of the state of Yoga. The word Sutra also means "thread" threads that stitch together Unity. So the Yoga Sutras is a Vedic text about developing total consciousness, which means total brain functioning. We experience anything by virtue of our brain functioning. Let us compare: Yoga Sutras The Brain 4 Chapters 4 Lobes The Vedic text about total brain functioning has four chapters, with different contents. The brain itself has four major functional and structural divisions. Let us look more closely. The brain has a number of folds, called gyri, on its surface. Each of these gyri has a different structure and function. The Yoga Sutras has a set number of sutras that give the entire knowledge of how to structure total brain functioning. Let us compare: Yoga Sutras The Brain 195 sutras 195 gyri This striking correspondence between the Yoga Sutras, which is the Vedic text about the brain, and the brain itself indicates that the Vedic cognition of Natural Law and the expression of Natural Law, the human physiology, are intimately related. In fact, the Veda and Vedic Literature are the fundamental Laws of Nature at the basis of the structure and function of every aspect of our physiology. One more example: First Chapter Occipital Lobe 51 sutras 51 gyri For each of the chapters of the Yoga Sutras, the number of sutras exactly matches the number of gyri of the corresponding lobe of the brain. The structure of Yoga and the structure of the human brain are identical. ------------------------ Yahoo!
