activates the body. If man only understands this truth of spirituality he will never indulge in bad deeds. The functioning of the body is itself a mystery" - Baba The above statement of Baba makes so much more sense in the light of her personal experience where she was seeing with her eyes closed the illumined pictures of the deities. Relating to these illumined pictures Baba said "Shivangini, this is the effulgence of your Atman which is illuminating the objects that you see lit up. And that is the reason for being able to see it without senses, the eyes." Jnana Yoga (the path of knowledge or wisdom) Prior to her Inner Experiences our knowledge of the scriptures was almost absent. As stated in previous sections, during her experience phase all types of scriptures started flowing her way from the least expected sources. The amount of reading that she ended up doing was more than the total sum she had done in her whole life to date. That level of reading on her part while carrying a full load responsibility of professional career, home, and children was a miracle in itself. She sorted through a lot, took help from this book mentioned above by Shakunthala Jagannathan, and of course the constant help of her Sadguru resulted in our understanding of the Jnana Yoga as summarized below: Jnana Yoga is not mere knowledge but spiritual enlightenment achieved through the intuitive intellect, in its sublime and evolved form. In the beginning the aspirant reads and analyzes the knowledge of scriptures, meditates and contemplates the concepts. Since Hinduism is not based on any single book or on the words of single prophet, there are literally thousands of books to guide both the beginners and the scholars. The first and the most ancient set of books called Vedas were handed down orally from teacher to disciple and they are referred to as Shrutis which means "to hear". Vedas are known as the voice of Rishis and are believed to be of Divine origin. It is said that the knowledge of the physical sciences is derived from the sense organs; knowledge of Vedas 128
is realized through mental or spiritual discipline of yoga. Sage Vyasa arranged the Vedas in four books namely 1) Rig Veda: a book of chants 2) Yajur Veda : in addition to verses from Rig Veda it contains original sacrificial prayers, 3) Sama Veda: consists mostly of stanzas from the Rig Veda. The arrangement of its verse is with reference to their place and use in the Soma sacrifice. 4) Atharva Veda: it deals with spells, incantations, kingly duties, exalted spiritual truths. It consists of special class of Vedic texts known as chhandas. The contents of Vedas fall into two general divisions 1) Karmakanda: Deals with karma, ritualistic action, sacrifices etc. the purpose of which is the attainment of material prosperity, 2) Jnanakanda: deals with knowledge through which one is liberated from ignorance and enabled to realize the Highest God. Each of the Vedas fall into two sections 1) Mantra (also called Samhita): a collection of hymns and prayers used in sacrifice. 2) Brahmana: contains rules and regulations of the sacrifices and reveals the meaning of the Mantras. The most important part of the Vedas is the knowledge revealed in the Upanishads (it is said that Upanishads reveal some of the most profound spiritual truths ever known to mankind). There are 108 or more Upanishads in all. Among these 12 are most popular - Isa, Kena, Katha, Prasna, Mundaka, Mandukya, Aietareya, Taittiriya, Chandogya, Brihadaranyaka, Kaushitaki and Svetasvatara. The next set of books are the secondary Vedas called Upa Vedas, these are also four in number 1) Ayurveda: The science of extending life, 2) Dhanurveda: The science of archery and the use of weapons, 3) Gandharva Veda: the science of music and dance. 4) Arthashastra: This is treatise on politics, state administration and the conduct of commerce. There are six explanatory limbs of the Vedas called Vedangas : 1) Sikshah: Science of phonetics and pronunciation, 2) Vyakarana: the science of grammar, 3) Nirukta: the science of etymology of the words in the Vedic mantras, 4) Chandas Shastra: the art of versification, 5) Kalpa 129
