Kriya Yoga KY3 ｜ Sri M ｜ 2023 Fall ｜ Day 2 ｜ Session 2

Описание: A focused examination of AUM in the Mandukya Upanishad and its practical link to Patanjali’s Samadhi Pada.

This teaching parses Om/Omkar via the Mandukya Upanishad and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Sri M maps A = waking, U = swapna/thejasa (dream), M = shushupti (deep dreamless sleep), and the sustained Ardha-matra pointing to Turiya. He contrasts Samadhi Pada (not Sadhana Pada), lists the eight angas—Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi—and defines yoga as Chitta Vritti Nirodha aiming at Kaivalya. Practical implications: Kriya Yoga and especially pranayama as methods to still vrittis; the necessity of cultivating wakeful quiet so Turiya can appear in waking life; guidance on solitude, warnings about unqualified teachers, and references to Shankara and Gaudapada’s commentaries on Mandukya.
