Inner Yoga: Antaryoga

 
Anirvan (Author)
Synopsis

The Katha Upanishad says that man in the ordinary course looks outward but some seeking a greater life turn their gaze inward Caorttach aksbuy, and there they find the immortal life of their true Self. Yoga consists in developing this inward and upward look. Taking the celebrated Yogasutras of Patarijali as his framework, Sri Anirvan explains the eight limbs of Pataiijala Yoga in the life of India's spiritual traditions. The Vedas, the Upanishads and the Gita; ·the systems of Samkhya and Tantra; Buddhism, Vaishnavism and the Bauls - all form part of Sri Anirvan's vision. In this book, Sri Anirvan takes his readers onto unfamiliar grounds; there is no doubt that they will find in him a sure guide on this unusual journey. In his Introduction, Sri Ram Swamp adds a new dimension. He discusses different chitta- bbumis, a neglected Yogic idea; he mentions non-Yogic samadhis, fertile sources of many Revelations, Prophecies, Scriptures and Gods. This idea provides a new framework, a Yogic critique for evaluating different scriptures and different religious ideologies. The idea offers a radical, Eastern contribution to Studies in Comparative Religions.

About the author

Anirvan

Sri Anirvan was born on July 8, 1896 in the town of Mymensingh. At the age of eleven he knew the Astadhyayi of Panini by heart and daily recited a chapter from the Gita, he joined Assam Bangiya Saraswata Math, Kokilamukh near Jorhat in Assam, at the age of sixteen. Meanwhile, he had appeared for the matriculation examination which earned for him a state scholarship. He went for his college studies to Dhaka and later on to Calcutta. His educational career was brilliant and he always secured record marks. After completing his studies, Sri Anirvan took Sanyasa and became Nirvanananda Saraswati. But a few years later he dropped the ochre robes and changed his name to Anirvan, by which name he became known to the world at large. Between 1930 and 1942, he lived with a friend at Allahabad, Lucknow, Delhi and Ranchi and also established an ashram in Kamakhya near Gauhati in Assam. Later on, he moved to Lohaghat in Almora where Madame Lizelle Reymond met him and stayed with him in her My Life with a Brahmin Family (1958) and to Live Within (1971). In 1953-54, Sri Anirvan moved to Shillong in Assam and finally to Calcutta in 1965. He fell ill in July 1971 and passed away on 31 may, 1978, at the age of 82. His first book was a Bengali translation of Sri Aurbindo’s The life Divine which was published in 2 Vols. During 1948-51. But the centre of his studies was the Vedas on which subject he acquired a rare mastery over the years. His great work, Veda Mimamsa, was published in 3 vols. In 1961, 1965 and 1970. Meanwhile several other works on the Upanishads, the Gita, Vedanta and yoga had also been published.
