The Union (Yog-a)

Is yoga a scientific theory?

Some ideas to explore for the writing on this page: Who was it that said that yogic “philosophy” will have to be rewritten throughout the ages? And who goes through the practices at the level required to produce fantastical things? The things that are not fantastical are surely reproducible.

“All the systems of yoga are intended to develop subtle and direct perception. Jnana yoga does this through concentrated effort to answer an overwhelming enquiry. Bhakti yoga does it by making the emotional forces one-pointed. Mantra yoga does it by constant awareness of a mantra. Kriya yoga brings about subtle perception by harmonizing the forces of the entire body and mind, which leads directly to refinement of perception.” [p 700, 1]
