Yoga’s objective is of the supreme importance to a human being in its significance, in so far as humans can think of their best interest. Incidentally, enhancing the life’s span with the aid of modern science’s genetic engineering is nothing in its significance compared to the Yoga’s objective of making one eternally aware of oneself, in this timeless universe.

Is Yoga a religion – more so the Hindu religion? Yoga is not a religion – Hindu or otherwise. Yoga is a science founded on inquiry and reason. It is thus summed up by Sri Aurobindo, “All life is Yoga.” Yoga is the foundation of Indian civilization.

Can we define the Indian civilization? Yes. Indian civilization is an outlook from humans’ viewpoint, which regards everything in this world to be nothing but a cosmic evolution in eternal cycles of the supreme conscious reality from its singular state to its infinite discrete states, and back again to that singularity, which (outlook) puts the greatest value on human inquisitiveness, search, knowledge and innovation.

As Yoga is not a religion, Indian civilization too founded on Yoga is not a religion, though this civilization has given birth to world’s many great religions like Hinduism (also called Santan Dharma), Buddhism, Jainism, Sufism, Sikhism. Even spiritually awakened Jesus Christ is claimed by some to have lived in India for about 20 years and got trained by Buddhist masters in the spiritual discipline, which he later taught to his disciples in Jerusalem.

In fact, Hinduism is a way of life having its roots in this spiritual science of Yoga. Because of its roots going back in the remote antiquity of India, Hinduism has become the synonym of Indian civilization.

The discovery of #symnoesis (human-AI meeting and co-evolving of minds) with the introduction of LLMs is a paradigm revolution that renders the previous #AGI can do everything/transhumanist/AI doomism worldview obsolete, in the same way as heliocentrism replaced geocentrism

"There are ways of getting happiness that are really quite trivial. Someone could be perfectly happy just watching bad television while taking drugs. There are ways of generating happiness that don’t seem to contribute to a meaningful life at all."

Under India’s Emergency (1975–77), Delhi’s Purana Qila and New Delhi’s Lodi Gardens hosted both state-sponsored spectacles and clandestine street plays, illustrating how power can co-opt—and suppress—the stage.

In the twentieth century, intimate “pocket” theatres took inspiration from middle-class living rooms—from Bombay’s experimental shacks to Kolkata’s underground cultural centres.
