About 13.5 billion years ago , matter , energy , time and space came into being in what is known as the Big Bang. The story of these fundamental features of our universe is called Physics.
About 300,000 years after their appearance , matter and energy started to coalesce into complex structures , called atoms , which then combined into molecules. The story of atoms , molecules and their interactions is called chemistry.
About 3.8 billion years ago , on a planet called Earth, certain molecules combined to form particularly large and intricate structures called organisms. The story of organisms is called biology.
About 70,000 years ago , organisms belonging to the species Homo Sapiens started to form even more elaborate structures called cultures. The subsequent development of these human cultures is called history.
Three important revolutions shaped the course of history till now :
One - the cognitive revolution kick started history about 70,000 years ago.
Two -The agriculture revolution sped it up about 12000 years ago.
Three - The scientific revolution , which got under way only 500 years ago, may well end history and start something completely different .
This is the brief history of Sapiens as main stream scientists and historians would believe it.
Now as we all speculate about next big thing, the next big revolution and whether Sapiens would live to see it happen?
Let me take you 80,000 yrs back when a parallel line was drawn.
Over 80,000 years ago, a being appeared in the upper regions of Himalayas ,
No one knew what he was and where he came from. the origins of this spectacular being were unknown.
When his ecstasy allowed him some movement , he danced wildly.
when intensity peaked he sat utterly still.
People saw that he was experiencing dimensions that no body has ever known or able to fathom.
His ecstacy and intensity allowed him to transcend his physical form.
witnessing an individual human in union with the cosmos they called him a yogi. As he was the first one, they named him Adiyogi.
People started gathering around him . When his stillness lasted for years on end , furious onlookers melted away.
Only seven seekers remained as they could not tear themselves away from him. These seven seekers later known as The saptarishis.
Adiyogi transmitted the profound science of yoga in its full depth and dimension to the Saptarishis.
He expounded 112 methods of attainment , allowing his disciples the access to the deepest in arts of creation.
Seven sages - The saptarishis took the sacred science of yoga in all its forms to several human habitations in various parts of this world., which turned into crucibles of civilizations.
yoga will be the next revolution that will lead to evolution of humanity.
This is To move humanity from hallucinations of ups and downs , to name less ecstasies of ones interiority.
This sacred science of yoga is not for the past, but for the future of Sapiens.
Thank you!!
