The book “Sermon About Yoga “is based on the philosophy and the practical yogic kriya of “Gheranda Sanhita”.

​Form the very beginning the author introduces all the basics but highest philosophy about the following subjects:

​

1) Dik –

What is Dik? What is Directionlessness? Any cluster of parallel lines heading towards infinity is called  Dik. The  

directionlessness of existence in space is due to the Dik attribute of space, the space seems to stretch to infinity of a    straight line, and there is no merging of Dik at any point in time or space.



2) Mayand –

The dynamic path of entire infinite is Mayand, the controlling power and the creator of black holes.
   
3) Saktyand –

It creates Sakti and activates everything in creation, this is black-hole but has no color really.



4) Prakrityand –

The numerous galaxies in the universe are called collectively Prakrityand. The Prikrityand contains all Kala Pursas.



5) Brahmanda –

One KalaPurasas together with one galaxy is called Brahmand.

The three distinct categories are –

A) Physical - The cluster of planets and asterisms and can be seen by telescope and yogic divine vision.    

B) Mental – It is cognizable and meditable and since it can only be perceived via the Manas, according to principle which exists in the universe it also exists in material body  ( yat pinde tat brahmande). This  also includes the five layers of human body (Annamay, Pranamay, Manomaya, Vijnanamaya, Anandamaya ).  Brahmanda reflects also in the beginning point of the third-eye.

C) Post Apocalypse – One revealed – The ephemeral form of Brahmanda is not infinite; it has a specific  limit and a specific boundary.



6) Visva – ( The World ) – Only a solar system with a planet also composed ultimate of five elements and a complete food  

     chain consisting animal and plant life with human life.



7) Sarvabhakshi (Black Hole) – The modern astronomers say that it absorbs and reemits even entire galaxies and keep giving birth to new creation all time . The yoga says the black hole attracts and absorb everything, it becomes Kal Chakra and when it reemits by replling everything, it becomes Lalna Chakra So this is also motivator of creation, existence and distraction in yoga.



8) Kala Purusa (the android of time) – The visual horizon consisting of zodiacal signs in orbit, present roughly in a giant       space of human body. This total constellation of planets and asterisms called Kala Purusa.



9) Panchang Sundari (the feminine beauty with five body parts) – The knowledge gets divided into five broad parts. These    five great sciences are-   a) Tantra b) Yoga c) Jyotish d) Ayurveda e) Mundane science with Philosophy.



10)  Guru – The attainment of the ultimate stage in deep meditation and deep trance preparatory to absorbing the infinite          within oneself. Guru is basically a spiritual preceptor but even here there are five levels -

       a)  Teacher – Usually shapes the mind of disciple.

       b)  Initial Mentor – Initiate the knowledge through Diksha of mantra.

       c)  Sat Guru – Helps disciples to obtain supreme knowledge prescribing a certain conduct and indirect proportion (also

            depends on disciples devotion and submission).

       d)  Param Guru – Securing the supreme knowledge for disciple by imparting his spiritual power called Param Guru.

       e)  Param Advaita Guru – The dividing line melts and disciple become totally one with his spiritual mentor and all Jiva,

            Maya and Brahma inalienably one with Guru.



11) Shiva – The base of the control exercised by the controlling power.



12) Shakti – The controller.

​
 

"Impediments" – ​

When beginning yoga and during its practice, numerous impediments begin arriving forcibly. In such a condition yogi ought to jettison these obstacles gradually.

​

The nine deflection of the conscious mind under the step of meditative trance are mentioned:

​

1) Vyadhi – Disease
2) Stanya – Despair
3) Samsaya – Doubt
4) Pramada – Negligence
5) Alasya – Sloth
6) Avirati –Hankering for carnal pleasures
7) Bhranti Darshan –False perception
8) Alabdhbhumikatva – Dissatifaction
9) Anvyavasthitva – Disorganization



It is imperative to know how to remove these before one begins yoga. It is Guru (Spiritual Guide) alone who can remove these impurities. The scriptures too are helpful to alimited extene but Guru’s grace is necessary. The words of Guru are what constitutes a mantra and accomplishment ultimately rests with the Guru’s grace alone.

​

FICKLENESS – During the practice of yoga the fickleness of the mind has an adverse effect on the practice.
Lord SHRI KRISHNA has said in Shrimad Bhagvadgita – “ Those whose mind are not in their control, for them it is very difficult to attain the supreme being”.(6/36)
 

At the same Lord KRISHNA has said to Arjuna “There is no doubt that it is extremely difficult to control this fickle mind, but by practice and detachment this can be done.
Shri Shri Adi Shankaracharya has said ‘Who conquered the world ? – One who conquered one’s mind’.
IT IS NECESSARY TO KNOW THE FORM OF MIND.
 

One experiences grief and pleasure when the senses act upon the mind, but when the sense organs are brought fully under one’s control, then that alone is enough to make the mind transcend grief and happiness and attain the form of sublime bliss Sachidanand {Sad- (sat)-Chid-(chitta)-Ananda}.
All the inessentialities of the seemingly real but actually false nature of experienced reality are born of the force of attraction. If the mind would get to know the real meaning of this it would not then be inclined towards worldly matters.
This is possible only by Practice and Detachment.
With the help of some measures mention in the book practitioner can bring his mind under his sway.
