Vihangam Yoga is an ancient meditation technique
practiced by Indian seers and sages. In the current time, it is established by
H.H. Sadguru Sadafaldeo Ji Maharaj. Vihangam Yoga is also known as Brahmavidya,
Madhu Vidhya, Para Vidhya in the Indian ancient most scriptures andVedas.
"Vihangam" literally means "bird". Just as a bird leaves
its base on the earth to fly high in the sky, so does Vihangam Yoga to enable
the human Soul (Atma) to cut off its moorings in the Prakriti (phenomenal
world) and realize its true and free nature.
Vihangam means a bird. As a bird floats in the air
overcoming the gravitational force of the earth, so does the consciousness of
the Atma(soul) float in the limitless space of pure consciousness leaving
behind its physical base i.e. body, mind and intellect. To distinguish it from
various prevalent physical, mental and spiritual practices, which also go by
the name of Yoga, the Vedic Yoga is called Vihangam Yoga or Sahaja Yoga.
In Vihangam Yoga the mind is lifted to its source,
the Akshara Brahma where it is permanently quietened, just like a river losing
its identity in the ocean. Once the soul is freed from bondage of the mind, it
realizes its true nature and stops identifying itself with the human body. In
fact, the soul then acts as the master and guides the mind and the body in the
way it likes. Having realised the futility of worldly pleasures, derived
through the sense organs and their objects, it soars higher in search of the
Absolute Bliss (Paramananda). It is then only that the real meditation of
Vihangam Yoga starts, terminating in Samādhi, the ultimate aim of Yoga of
meeting with the Supreme Soul. In this state the soul has attained liberation
while residing in the body itself (Jivanmukti). The literal meaning of the word
'Yoga' is union. Vihangam Yoga is defined as the union ofAtma with Paramatma.
This union is achieved after Atma(soul) frees itself from the shackles of the
mind and intellect and attains its pure conscious state. The Supreme Soul is a
purely conscious entity and is beyond the reach of the mind and intellect. The
mind and intellect are inert by themselves and are activated by the
consciousness of the soul. An inert object cannot reach a conscious entity, far
less unite with or merge in it. Therefore, the physical Yogas cannot reach the
ideal of Vihangam Yoga.
