Samadhi

Super-joyful, blissful, and the fusion of personal and collective consciousness Jivatman and Paramatman join forces. Shiva and Shakti unite at the Sahasrar Chakra (the top of the head). The ultimate goal of human birth is to realise the Bramhan (pure consciousness), also known as the Realization of God.

Human civilization has long sought to understand the origin of existence and how to make it joyful. Various sages and yogis produced the ancient yoga philosophy, which has been successful in establishing certain important components of the complete thing.

The scientific community of today has put forth a number of theories, many of which are in strong accord with experimental findings. The following is an effort to investigate such links.

The opening syllables of the Ishavasya Upanishad are those of peace:
OM POORNAMADAH POORNAMIDAM POORNAAT POORNAMUDACHYATE; POORNASYA POORNAMAADAAYA POORNAMEVA AVASHISHYATE.

ओम पूर्णमदह: पूर्णमिदम पूर्णात पूर्णमुदच्यते; पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्ण नामवा अविशयते।
Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih

Meaning : This is full. From full, the full is taken, the full has come. If full is removed from full, the full alone remains.
Om peace, peace, peace. 
(“Poorna” = Complete or Full.)

This describes the conservation of energy, one of the fundamental tenets of physics. The fundamental idea or the wellspring of creation’s energy is what the word POORNA refers to. The Sanskrit word “Yuj,” which denotes togetherness, is the source of the English word “yog.” the joining of a person’s life energy with the Poorna.

The three types of Samadhi, according to Sage Patanjali, are Savikalpa, Asamprajnyata, and Nirvikalpa or Sanjeevan. Savikalpa is an interface between Asamprajnyata, a higher awareness experience, and trans meditation. One can encounter Vitarka (Guessing), Vichara (Thought), Anand (Bliss), and Asmita in Savikalpa (Self-awareness).

Savikalpa can be used to explain study findings on the effects of meditation on the human brain.

A study found that when meditation levels increased, certain brain lobes slowed down and the thalamus prevented messages from reaching the lobes. This might be seen as Savikalpa taking a step toward Asamprajnyata. The sage Patanjali defined asamprajnyata as a higher awareness situation devoid of gross awareness.

The greatest yogi, Dhnyaneshwar, provides a clear explanation of the Nirvikalpa or Sanjivan Samadhi. Dhnyaneshwar has firmly stated the connection between greater awareness and light or pure energy in the form in his treatise, Bhavarthadeepika or Dhnyaneshwari.

Yoga is frequently seen as a journey from the physical to the mental, and from the mental to the soul, spirit, or life energy. Yoga is, in other words, a journey from a crude form of material energy to a more refined form.
