Wisdom of Ancient Mystics

Universe
Universe is filled with abundant Energy; by utilizing this energy, all the planets and galaxies of stars are doing their activities. Starting from tiny human cell energy to the biggest Universe, everything is working with the aid of Universal energy and our ancients called this as Brahman. Matter and life are the contents of the Universe and they all posses their own structure(atomic) and are vibrating with their own frequency, Further, they all possess colour, which it as VIBGYOR (violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red). Further all objects in the Universe are encircled in a light energy field known as Aura energy, which is electro-magnetic in nature. Due to this energy field, they have another property known as Polarity, which is attraction and repulsion. This is how we exist in the Universe.

Puranic Stories
In India all scientific truths are imbibed in our routine life, by explaining them through Puranic Stories. Through tradition or custom, all scientific truths are brought to the stage of implementation in day-to-day life. Therein lies the wisdom of our Siddhas, Yogis and Rishis. What they had was not just intelligence but intuition. They could see, hear or feel beyond the realm of the five senses. They did not need telescopes, microscope or other scientific equipments to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos. They only relied on the most powerful instrument in the world the human soul which has it in a latent sense, omniscience and omnipotence.

Mantra - Transmission of thought waves
Our ancients have introduced meditation and chanting of mantras. Mantras are nothing but words which produce low or high sound frequencies. Meditation or Japa is a training by which the ever dancing rays of the mind(thought waves) are compelled to behave in some order and rhythm and thereby bring out their co-operative effort in a single melody of repeated mantra chanting. When one chants a mantra, depending upon the frequency of the sound/thought wave, the concerned deity responds.

The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has prepared patent formats of nearly 900 yoga asanas (postures), to prevent European and American companies involved in fitness-related activities from claiming them as their own.

These asanas will all be included in the digitalised Traditional Knowledge Library (TKDL), set up by the council to collect and record traditional treatment therapy knowledge. Medicines and yoga asanas registered with it enjoy the status of being patented.

"Video recordings of the asanas are also being made and recorded to prevent them from being stolen," said TKDL director Dr VK Gupta.

The CSIR began the project in 2006.

These 900 asanas have been collected from Patanjali's classic work on yoga, as well as other ancient classics like the Bhagwat Gita.

Gupta said a number of countries had already laid claim to around 250 of these postures. Some foreign companies have even patented some of them.

Foreign companies have been selling some of the yoga postures as therapies to relieve stress or backaches.

"How can someone else patent these asanas which are a part of our traditional treatment therapy knowledge? They should not be allowed to use them for commercial purposes," Dr Gupta said.

The CSIR's next step will be to move against the yoga patents already registered abroad.

The United States patent office alone has issued around 3000 patents on yoga postures and their variations.
