Hindu Sastra (Science) of Knowledge

Knowledge (Jnana) has no unique form of
existence. It can be preserved, altered or lost. Hindu Nyaya Sastra identified totality of knowledge with following components called pramanas:
Components of knowledge (pramana):

1. Perception by ordinary senses (laukika) and by attained experience (alaukika). 2. Inference (anumna), needs investigation to resolve. 3. Comparison (upamna) or analogy or by equating with known objects.
Goddess Saraswati as source of Knowledge, Art and Wisdom
4. Testimony (past records and witness).
Knowledge has life element (personalized perception) and time dependency (testimony may be available or lost), hence it is dynamic in nature.
Hindu way of Knowledge Acquisition and Application

As stated by Hindu Philosophy: 1. Acquiring true knowledge (Divya Jnana) is always stretcherous and painful journey in the myriad of fallacy manifestations called Maya (unclear barrier). 2. Therefore , one should not compromise or delimit himself in reaching divine goals (Ex: wisdom on social objectives, morals, serving the needy, etc). 3. Humanity and environmental protection (Ahimsa) has to absorbed as is the order.
As Yama (under effect of Maya) doesn't know the life span of Markandeya, Lard Shiva protecting Markandeya from death.
Rational way of Knowledge Acquisition and current misuse

The Tantra, when the objectivity is divine seeking

It is based on Samkhya Yoga, which is a Dvaita (dualistic) theory, and it says Purusha (Divine) and Prakriti (ever changing nature) are initiating the Jeeva (for living).
But, due to desires, the individual is continued to be in bondage or attachment to the surroundings; which results in suffering to Jeeva. The divine goal is to overcome the bondage by attaining Moksha (Emancipation), Moksha means Jeeva is liberated to be with Divine. The process of liberating Jeeva is called Swatantra Paratantra Union, explained in slide No:13.

Understanding Yoga as Harmonized Union

1. Yoga is process of harmonizing
(Samanvaya) the body, mind and individuals self with external environment and then try to attain Universally Stable Knowledge (Vijnana) about ever changing Prakruti (Nature). The attained Vijnana need to be taught to others.

Swatanta-Paratantra Union
1. Tantra means Aligned force with unbroken continuity. 2. The state of Swatanta means being independent with knowledge of ever changing Prakruti (Nature). Knowing Prakruti means knowing Divine. 3. Acquisition of knowledge on ever changing Prakruti is possible with tantra practice, in which combined forces of body are aligned with mind, individuals self and then spreads into the external environment for understanding the Prakruti (nature). 4. The external environment has its own divergent (all angle, all direction), and conflicting forces. 5. The individual, the external environment, and others are all part of ever changing Prakruti, which are very divergent and conflicting. 6. Paratantra means Aligning with external forces. 7. Swatantra Paratantra Union means the realized individual (Jeeva) can pass the knowledge and wisdom to other individuals perennially, for social benefit. The process is by aligning himself with other Jeevas, and then drawing their attention and communicate.

It is not zeroing or emptiness nor stillness of mind. Sunyata means relatively originated or dependently originated. State of Sunyata can be achieved by repeatedly doing Yogasana and Pranayamam (3rd and 4th step of Yoga).

Basic Laws of existence

For every action, there is equal
and opposite reaction, which happens at same time and in the connected space.
It is valid for all Static & Dynamic conditions of both living and non-living substances.
- Taoistic law 770BC China Taoistic view of universal existence (Yang Yin) is well stated in the Hinduism (Vamana Avatar, Balis Divya Jnana vs Power of Vishnu). Prahalada explaining existence of Purusha (divine) to his father, though he was Bramha Jnani
Sri Adi Sankaracharya (789AD) explained co-existence and inseparable nature of Purusha and Prakruti in Advaita (non-duality) Philosophy.
Some Important Sutras (Rules) about Jeeva
All living species and individuals are independent and no union is possible.
All livings cell will either divide or die, except for seed cells, fuse to form a new cell. This process constitutes life energy. But, the word Jeeva is know for living. The new English translation for Jeeva is alive. There is no identified governing force with proof that let to existence of Jeeva. Jeeva new its past, knows completely its surroundings, environment and circumstances it exists. It has its own kalpana of living by virtue of its ego. Scientists found Spores (tiny living substance) of 40 million years old, still waiting for proper living condition to reproduce.
Identify Jeeva between seed and seeding!

Newton: Dimension independent of events, in which events occur in sequence. Time is absolute. Time and Clock are same. Leibniz: Time is neither an event nor a thing, thus it is not by itself measurable nor it can be travelled.
Kent: Time does not refer to any kind of entity that flows, Hour Glass that objects move through or that is a container of events. Hence, Time and Clock are not same.
Einstein: Events do happen at their own time, but sensing of the event is relative to the dynamics of observer. Time and space are dualistic and transcend each other.
Hindu Kalacharkam: Cycle of birth and death repeats, hence time is not absolute, Clock Tower but future events are not predictable due to Kalpana. Secunderabad Time is not predictable, but Clock is predictable.

Body stirred by Yoga initially result in Visham (detoxification) and later Amrutam (nectar). Amrutam made Devatas (Deities) to be dutiful, so as Yoga makes human dutiful.
Why Yoga for Health?
Nowadays Yoga linked to Health, as human suffered from loosing his own chakras (wheels) to machine. The only answer to this is win back the lost wheels. It is by practicing Yoga. Yoga exercises and pranayamam ( rhythmic breathing by lungs, muscles and bones) helps in detoxification and proper functioning of entire body and mind. Thereby, it induces higher energy levels, concentration on work, proper rest and stress relieving. Yoga exercises and Pranayamam increases blood flow in the body due to the increased pressure variations in the chest, abdomen, pelvic & shoulder region, face and neck.

Hindu Conclusion
Sri Adi Sankaracharya Advaita (non-duality) Philosophy says the following 1 and 2 points: 1. Purusha (Divine) and Prakruti coexists together but changes in Prakruti is always due to Kalpana of Purusha. 2. It is not possible to be understand Purusha and its Kalpana due to presence of Maya. 3. Search of Purasha never been completed. But, four fundamental forces of nature, Strong force, Field (Electromagnetic) force, Weak (Van der Waals) force and Gravitational force resemble Shakti, Vishnu, Bramha and Shiva respectively.
Sri Adi Sankaracharya
4. There is no existence of unified force and single seed that let to creation of universe, as per Hindu Sastra.
