Yog Is The Union Underlying All Existence
For countless ages, rishis have shared their profound experiences of higher planes of existence , elaborating on philosophies of yog for humanity's benefit. Yet, with time, these teachings were buried and forgotten. It is in such times of collective forgetfulness that a revival becomes necessary. Sage Patanjali 's compilation of Vedic aphorisms into a structured, succinct text was one such renaissance, crafted for the welfare of spiritual aspirants. His work was not an invention but a reorganisation of scattered wisdom into an accessible form. Expounded by Sage Kapila, Sankhya philosophy originated as a discourse delivered to his mother, Devahuti. This exchange is unique - a son guiding his mother towards liberation. The origins of yog, however, precede even Sankhya. They are said to lie in Hiranyagarbha, the golden womb from which the universe itself emerges. Just as a child is conceived in the union of sperm and ovum, creation stems from the alliance of Ishwar and Prakriti. Sankhya philosophy elucidates this process: from Prakriti arise ahankara, maha tattva, the panchtanmatra, and the panchbhuta. Through a divine engineering process, subtle elements multiply, transforming into the tangible world we perceive. Prakriti, the master designer, orchestrates this flawless process. When anomalies occur, the fault lies not with Prakriti but with external factors like genetic defects or the mother's stress. Similarly, the universe's vastness, teeming with life and matter, arises from prakriti's transformation. From subatomic particles to galaxies, everything originates from this cosmic interplay. All forms return to their subtle states when destruction occurs, and the cycle begins anew. This creation, dissolution, and recreation are a continuous stream, a beginningless flow. The lineage of knowledge, too, flows unbroken. Krishn speaks of passing wisdom to Surya, who transmitted it to Manu, ensuring the continuity of yogic knowledge. But who was the original teacher? It was Ishwar, the first expounder of yog, initiating a lineage that has endured through the ages. Sankhya, Vedanta, and Yog are deeply interconnected. The tangible world comprises the five objects of senses - sound, touch, form, taste, and smell. These derive from the panchtanmatra, the subtle elements. From these emerge the panchbhuta, the five gross elements - earth, water, fire, air, and space. Our bodies, too, are formed from these elements, housing cognitive and motor senses to interact with the world. Yet the body, though a marvel of prakriti, is inert. The antahkaran - the mind, intellect, chitta, and ego - animates it. Each unit of the antahkaran plays a role. The mind generates thoughts, intellect decides, chitt stores memories, and ego asserts individuality. However, when the ego dissolves and the sense of 'i' and 'mine' vanishes, true freedom from maya is attained. Prakriti operates through three gunas - sattva, rajas, and tamas. These qualities shape everything, from the body to the mind. This interplay of gunas sustains the cycle of creation and dissolution. Yog, in essence, is the union underlying all existence. It is the alliance of Prakriti and Ishwar, the synthesis of the tangible and intangible, merging of individual self with the universal consciousness.

New Delhi: Amitabh Bachchan has always been one of the most active celebrities on social media, discussing life and films at large. The actor often shares his thoughts and opinions on X.

Actor Dipannita Sharma: Feel proud to be part of India, where brave soldiers are protecting us
Dil diya hai jaan bhi denge, aye watan tere liye — the song from the film Karma (1986) plays in the background as actor Dipannita Sharma walks towards India Gate. Almost as a reflex, she salutes looking towards the iconic monument. 'I feel so proud to be part of this country where we have such brave soldiers who have been protecting us. Sometimes, we don't even know what's going on at the borders and yet live in peace with our families because our soldiers are safeguarding our country and its people,' she muses during her recent trip to the Capital, which marked her theatrical debut on stage as part of a play titled Ishwar. Having debuted in Bollywood with the 2002 film 16 December, where she played an Indian officer, she has the highest regard for those who serve the nation. Post recent tensions at the Indo-Pak border, visiting India Gate has a new meaning for Dipannita now. 'It gives me goosebumps as I recall that just before I boarded the flight to Delhi, at the Mumbai airport I met a young woman who approached me to appreciate my work in a short film. As we started chatting, she showed me a gorgeous picture with her husband, to whom she was married when 23-24 years old; a year or two later, her husband was called to the Siachen border. Before going, the young soldier told his wife that he knew his seniors had not returned from this posting and gave her strength to move on if he didn't return... He didn't return,' shares the 45-year-old, adding, 'As she narrated her life story in a composed manner, I was teary-eyed and filled with pride for our soldiers and their spouses who live and lay their lives for the country. I am now trying to reach out to the young lady on social media.' 'The feeling [of pride] is so alive. In my heart and head, I saw India Gate and paid a tribute to all our soldiers,' Dipannita says. Training for her role, in the movie 16 December, is also steeped in her memory. She recounts, 'I learnt how to hold a gun and the posture of a commando, among other things... Had it not been the character of a strong, resilient woman, who is also an Indian officer, I wouldn't have made my debut back then.' Dipannita portrays the mythological character of Sita, in the play Ishwar. 'But this Sita is not a damsel in distress,' she shares, as she looks back on the time she performed in a stage play for the first time ever. 'I was in class 2 or 3, and played an old woman with my back bent and paan stains around my mouth. This play was written by my Aaita (maternal grandmother in Assamese) and directed by my mother. From then till now, one thing has remained a constant — butterflies in the stomach before going on the stage (smiles)!' The actor, who hails from the Northeast, reminisces the good old days when she was pursuing graduation from Delhi University's Indraprastha College For Women and 'the same year took part in Miss India'. Recalling her #CampusKeDin, she shares: 'It was my first evening out in Delhi as a hosteller and I visited India Gate along with other college mates for the first time. After that we started visiting quite often and would bring rice, dal and vegetables to have dinner in picnic style, followed by ice cream from the carts that are always around this area. Sometimes, we would head to Connaught Place after dinner to grab a hot chocolate fudge. Those college days were so fun!'
