An essay on Indian Christian Response to Six Classical Systems of Indian Philosophy, (Nyaya System).

 


1. Nyaya System: The Nyaya system is the work of the great sage Gautama. It is a concept of reality, often based on fundamental theory. Recognizes many real sources of information, ie. Perceiving (pratyksa), thinking (anumana), comparing (upamana), and witnessing (Sabda). Perception is the direct knowledge created by the relationship between objects for our senses.III

It can be external (bahya) or internal (antara) depending on whether the sense in question is external such as eyes and ears or internal such as mind (manas).

According to Nyaya the objects of knowledge are self, body, mind and their products, knowledge (buddhi), mind (manas), action (pravrtti), mental state (dosa), rebirth (pretyabhava), satisfaction. and to feel pain (phala), suffering (duhkha) and liberation from suffering. Nyaya, like many other systems of Indian philosophy, seeks to free himself from bondage to the body, mind and its objects.

 

Nayaika proves the existence of God with many arguments. God is the cause of the creation, maintenance, and destruction of the world.

He did not create the world out of nothing, but from infinite atoms, space, time, ether, mind and spirit. Individual egos cannot be creators or creators of the world because they have limited energy and information and therefore cannot interact with subtle and invisible things like the atoms that make up every aspect of the body. The creator of the world must be a wise elf with infinite power and wisdom and able to control the morals of the world. But according to the care and wisdom of the Divine Being, sooner or later everyone can better understand himself and the world and thus finally be free from all suffering (mukti).

 

Christians Response to the Philosophy of Yoga: Many Christians, when they learn about Yoga, do not think of their own Yoga philosophy, but rather of Sakta Yoga or the Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita or Vdantic or Saivasiddhantic Yoga.

In Sanya Yoga (a kind of philosophical dualism), yoga means only the separation (prakrti) of the soul from matter (purusa), not the union or sharing of the soul with God. Many Christians are unclear about this importance. Through the identification of spiritual change, one can realize that one is important, that is, not the body, thoughts, mind, mind and body, but the soul soul, just like yoga and this wisdom brings liberation (moksha).

The value of God actually derives from Patanjali's yogic philosophy. Devotion to God is considered beneficial as it is part of the practice of yoga, one of the ways to ultimate attainment of samadhi, and one of the ways to end attaining samadhi. - Yoga or "careful restraint". However, this is not the same as yoga, which is the way to heaven, the relationship with God, as seen in the Bhagavad Gita. The inability of Christian scholars to understand this difference is a limitation of the Christian response to the concept of Yoga.

For Abhishktananda, the emptiness of the mind in yoga is the soul's call from nothingness to God. Spiritual discipline must be learned from yoga for all effective and efficient methods of silence and peace of mind. Only silence and silence can allow the Holy Spirit to work freely in the soul. The yogi gains inner freedom. When it comes to thoughts and desires and thus respond to the whole soul, the Shakti, is the inner strength and power that holds and guides the whole world.

Practicing yoga helps achieve silence in prayer, which leads to a deeper connection to the soul. This self-awareness is humanity's greatest achievement. It is pure self-actualization, free from all coldness, where one can realize one's true self.

 

Here our consciousness is restored as if we were sleeping, but at the same time we are fully awake as if we were awake. Advaita or non-duality is the essence of the best knowledge in India. We have absolute and non-dual knowledge from the other.

The knowledge of Jesus

The mystery of the Trinity is the knowledge of the Christians. In the Christian faith of Sachidananda (Trinity), Being, the Son born from Sartre's eternal place, and his countless creatures, each embodying and celebrating God's infinite love and compassion in his own eternal way. Sachidananda's self-awareness can only be heard when there is unity and acceptance between the Father and the Son and between the Father and all people in Jesus Christ, for the Self can exist only in millions of people standing within themselves. It arises because of Ananda, Bliss, Holy Spirit, mutual giving and receiving, love between Father and Son, God and Man, Man and Mother. However, the main idea of ​​the Hindu and Christian traditions is the same, and only in the midst of human life can one find the mystery in the middle of God.

We must remember that in yogic philosophy, samadhi is not a perfect or complete union with God, but a perfect or complete separation of matter (prakrti) from spirit (purusa).

Vandana also discusses Tantric Yoga in the context of discussion of heart prayer and instructions to the heart in the Eastern Christian tradition. The heart is the center of many important points of consciousness, the lower part is associated with the body, sexuality and mind, the upper part with the mind, thoughts, visions, connections. In the middle of the heart, the man is transformed and can see God. The center of the heart is called the anahata chakra. For example, it can be said that the Mainline is the home of Shiva and Shakti.

to. Symbolically, it is the gap between higher and lower levels of consciousness. Vandana explains that love and devotion (bhakti) transforms us into a higher consciousness:

There are seven mystical circles or chakras that are generally believed to be important to the body. They are the root chakra, the center, the seat of the core energy of the human body; swadhisthana, the seat of the most primitive, deep-rooted instincts; Manipura, the heart center of the navy scene; anahata, the heart center, the source of all thoughts; The center located in the throat, known as the place of nectar and poison; Aina is the place of our eyes or the place called mother, between the eyebrows, the bright eye of intuition that opens inward, In the light of the Inner Light, see everything in its proper place; The crown chakra is the highest spiritual place, symbolizing the beginning of the heart and the spiritual realm, all other chakras are said to be at the top of the head. It is said to pass through the last chakra when the soul is ready to leave the body.

Vaisesika: The word vaisesika is derived from the Sanskrit word "visesa", meaning quality that differs from everything else. As a theory,

Vaisesika teaches that knowledge of the nature of reality can be obtained by knowing the special properties or differences between the nine eternal realities (Dravyas): Earth (prthvi), Water (Apas), Fire (Tejas), Air ( Vayu), Ether ( Akasa), Time (Kala), Space (Dik), Spirit (Atman), and Mind (Manas).

The classic postman and thief example best illustrates the importance of external teaching compared to other teaching methods. If we see a long object in front of us while walking in the dark, a doubt arises in our minds as to whether this long object is a column or a thief, and we fear because of this uncertainty. This is because we see only good behavior of postman and thief - stature.

If we know what distinguishes mail from thieves, there is no room for doubt and therefore fear. The same is true for all objects in the world around us. When we understand the nature of reality, the purpose of perception does not evoke in us the feelings of attraction or revulsion that are the source of all suffering. That is why teachings that show us such knowledge are called vaisesika.

 

Liberation (Moxa) cannot be attained through the completion of suffering because there is still memory (Samskara) of past suffering and potential for future suffering forever (Adrsta).

It is said to be the cause of all suffering because it compels one to truly seek or avoid the invisible ghosts of the world. The principle is said to be an intellectual understanding of the nature of reality.

 

Samkhya:Number theory occupies a unique place in the history of ideas, as it explains the world in an attempt to see the world by the number of twenty-five groups, by carefully considering the first explanation of the evolutionary process of the world. This elaboration is not a metaphysical fantasy, but a purely logical elaboration based on scientific principles about the conservation, transformation and dispersal of energy. Samkhya is considered the most specialized work in pure philosophy studies.ii
