Great Brahmacharin-s, religious, celibates, inspired by the desire to help the world and attain spiritual realization, also used to dwell in the forest retreats. Side by side with spiritual progress, they sustained the highest cultural heritage of the race by imparting general education to boys, with an attitude of spirituality. Not only ordinary people but also kings and emperors had absolute confidence that the teachers to whom their boys were sent for education were well-versed in secular as well as spiritual sciences. They were supremely dispassionate, self-controlled, masters of the senses, the very embodiment of ethical life, self-realised, compassionate towards al beings, endowed with intuition and subtle vision, well-versed in the science of Pancha-Kosha-s (the five sheaths) of the individual and the knowledge of the universal Yoga established in Brahman (the Absolute), and devoted to the vow of \u003ci\u003eBrahmacharya\u003c\/i\u003e (complete celibacy). They were fully competent to impart the secrets of Dahar Vidya, the science of soul, to humble and qualified aspirants. According to the saying 'Vidya dadati Vinayam' (Knowledge endows one with humility), those great souls, having attained a superhuman state of consciousness, were free from pride, devoid of self-praise, humble and simple. Having approached such Mahatma-s and having become their students, not only the boys of the Aryan race but also all others, young and old, poor or wealthy persons of both sexes, kings and emperors, all approached them as aspirants, and having quenched the thirst of spiritual aspiration used to attain supreme sartisfaction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The national ideals of those times were of a very high standard. That is why the boys of householders endowed with good \u003ci\u003eSamskara-s\u003c\/i\u003e (impressions) were the embodiment of truth – boys like Satyakama and Nachiketa. They did not desire anything except the science of Brahman (the Absolute). Even learned scholars craved to attain the sublimity of their lives. Today, aspirants should emulate their glorious example and develop humility, devotion to Guru (preceptor), truthfulness, virtue, self-effort, right conduct, self-control, endurance and contentment. Because one who is full of vices, who is addicted to evil habits and harsh words, cannot be qualified for such sublime science as this \u003ci\u003eAtma Vijnana\u003c\/i\u003e (the Science of Soul).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Those ancient \u003ci\u003eAcharya-s\u003c\/i\u003e or teachers received students who were humble, pure, sweet-tongued and gentle. They used to initiate them and with the commencement of study of the Veda-s they imparted to them knowledge of secular as well as spiritual sciences. Along with their general studies, students had to perform \u003ci\u003eAnushthana - \u003c\/i\u003ea religious discipline of repetition of sacred syllables like 'Om' or the \u003ci\u003eGayatri Mantra.\u003c\/i\u003e Observance of the vow of \u003ci\u003eBrahmacharya\u003c\/i\u003e was compulsory for all. Even very old people used to come for spiritual instruction, and they too had to observe \u003ci\u003eBrahmacharya\u003c\/i\u003e and live as an inmate of the hut with the Guru under his guidance. The teacher used to instruct them in the practice of the eight limbs of Yoga - \u003ci\u003eYama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi\u003c\/i\u003e (moral restraints and observance, physical postures, breath-control, abstaction, concentration, meditation and illumination). Day by day, training developed in an atmosphere of Japa (repetition of sacred names or hymns), austerity and study of scriptures. The practice of Asanas (physical postures) and \u003ci\u003ePranayama\u003c\/i\u003e (breath-control) developed \u003ci\u003eSharira Shuddhi\u003c\/i\u003e or purification of the body, while practice of concentration and meditation developed \u003ci\u003eAntahkarana Shuddhi or\u003c\/i\u003e purity of heart. Of heart. In the Upanisada-s this tradition of receiving Brahma Vidya by approaching a Guru is clearly described. The student has to live with Guru performing Tapa-s (austerities and penance) in the form of service of the Guru, thereby purifying his heart, and has to learn from hi,. Disciples derived immense pleasure from serving the Guru with body, mind and wealth, by bringing alms, fuel for the fire, and by tending the cows. Thus the heart of the aspirant rendered pure and soft and having pleased his teacher through service, he was eventually qualified to receive the subtle knowledge of Brahman. Just as a cow provides milk for her calf, Guru showers the knowledge of Brahman, science of Self-realisation, which is attainable by Samadhi, on the hearts of these humble students.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Those ancient Acharya-s or teachers received students who were humble, pure, sweet-tongued and gentle.

These practices are possible in the household life also. Difficulty arises in the practice of Pratyhara or withdrawal of senses, Dharana or concentration, Dhyana or meditation, Samadhi or superconsciousness, and in the realisation in supersensuous internal and mysterious truths by the practice of Samyama (concentration that combines Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi). Here aspirants sometimes become confused and remain entangled for years without developing further. Whatever little is obtained after much difficulty does not satisfy the heart of the aspirant when then attainment is imperfect. The path of self-realisation is not so simple as the general path of devotion, the \u003ci\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/es\/article\/bhakti_sutras\"\u003eBhakti\u003c\/a\u003e Marga.\u003c\/i\u003e However, aspirants endowed with dispassion, with excellent virtues, who have studied well and who have burning aspiration, will attain self-realisation through the following method within three years:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eFirst Year\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e First of all, Asana or physical posture must become steady for atleast two hours, and Pranayama or breath-control must be perfected.

In this Sadhana the senses are withdrawn from the sense, objects of the outside world and the Sankalpa-s and Vikalpa-s (thoughts and imagination of the mind) are checked. One learns by constant endeavour to keep the mind free from all thoughts of objects and to maintain the one-pointedness, of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e 2. \u003ci\u003eDharana Sadhana.

The astral body is composed of mind sheath, intellect sheath and the spheres of five Tanmatra-s or subtle elements, and which resides in the Brahmarandhra or the great hole in the crown of the head.

The knowledge of the mutual relationship of the six factor of the causal sheath. Individual soul and \u003ci\u003eBrahman\u003c\/i\u003e are realised through the causal body, therefore they are considered as factors of the causal body. But they are not related to the causal body in the same way as the limbs to the physical body.

Swami Yogeshwaranand Saraswati. The unique feature and importance of his works lies in the fact that these are not based merely on a thorough study and complete understanding of the ancient scriptures but more on the knowledge gained directly during his long samadhis which culminated in his realization of soul and God. Even at the age of 99 he kept on imparting in his ashrams, the invaluable knowledge gained by him to keen aspirant of all faiths from many countries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Yoga is for all religions. The ultimate aim of all religions of the world is the realization of soul and God. A study of the boks written by Swami Yogeshwaranand Saraswati on the subject of higher yoga at once strikes the aspirant about the practical way explained in detail which he cn follow to achieve his life's goal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e For those who refuse to accept anything in life, without a scientific proof, a study of Swamiji's books on the realization of soul and God may well prove to be what they need, becuase of the scientific and logical manner in which the subject has been dealt with.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In this book the author has described all the steps which have to be taken by the aspirant, one by one, to achieve the final goal of self realization. By relating his own experience and taking the aspirant, step by step, through every stage he has made the world's most difficult subject appear quite easy to grasp and practise. The various stages described and what the aaspirant will experience in his search include. Yogic Asanas, Pranayama (Breath control), Pratyahara (withdrawal of senses), Dharana (concentration), Dhayana (Meditation), Samadhi (Super-consiousness), Awakening of Kundalini (latent divine force in the body) realization through physical, subtle body, causual body, the realization of five sheaths (food, Prana, mind, intellect and blish) and ultimately the soul.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e A treatise on higher yoga and invaluable manual for the advanced aspirants and those engaged in research and study of higher yoga. Swamiji has placed this subtlest of subtle sciences for above any other branch of science. Some day, when the top scientists of the world pay this science the attention it deserves, his books will give all the basic material for their research and cause a stire in the world of science.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Shri Yogeshwaranand Parmahans formerly known as Brahmachari Vyas Devji, left his home of a tender age of fourteen in search of knowledge and self-realisation.
