Teachings Of Yoga Found In Vedic Books And Other Sources

Any study of how Vedic wisdom is transmitted in the modern world is incomplete without an analysis of the effect of government policy on the Vedic teachings. The Esoteric Teaching is the Absolute Truth. However, as anyone who has studied political science well, or has a realistic view of history knows, governments lie. They lie to each other, they lie to their citizens and they lie to themselves.

Knowledge is power, and secrets are more powerful than public knowledge because your enemies dont know them—you hope. My Shaolin Taoist Master always taught his students never to boast, or display their martial prowess unless absolutely necessary. He was fond of saying, A hidden sword is twice as sharp. Ah-so.

Most people today understand that governments keep secrets and lie, but few people realize how deeply they keep their secrets, or how pervasively and consistently they lie. For example, most people can understand that our government might lie to keep a new weapons system secret.

But it is more difficult to understand why our government might lie to keep the existence of Vedic culture, or the original and complete knowledge of Yoga a secret; or that they might allocate significant resources, and manipulate or even harm their own citizens if they thought it necessary to accomplish this objective. But what if these two seemingly unrelated matters actually have something in common?

Without getting too deeply entangled in speculative, paranoid conspiracy theories, consider this: It is common knowledge today that the government has a longstanding policy of denial of its knowledge of UFOs and extraterrestrial beings. Reports of UFO sightings by qualified military observers are hushed up, and any credible civilian reports are ridiculed and debunked by an extremely broad and effective campaign of disinformation and media manipulation.

What most people dont know is that the same Vedic literatures that describe the spiritual practices of Yoga and Tantra also describe space travel, life and civilizations on other planets and in other planetary systems, smart weapons, intelligent biocomputers and other advanced technology. As we have already discussed, Vedic culture also has advanced knowledge of technology for data integrity, encryption and messaging protocols equal to or better than modern information science.

In fact, Vedic culture has used these techniques to transmit the transcendental message of the Esoteric Teaching from generation to generation for thousands of years without any change. And governments like to manipulate information to suit their agenda. So is it clear now why a government might not want its citizens—might not want us—to know about this?

Every Western government since ancient Rome has portrayed itself to its people as the most advanced, the most powerful, and the originator of every great idea. The founders of every revolutionary government rewrite history to suit their sociopolitical views and agenda. This is a normal part of the culture of political power. Can anyone name a modern government that did not take power by violent revolution?

The Western government disinformation campaign against the Vedic civilization and its spiritual wisdom has been going on for a very long time. The Roman government burned tens of thousands of Greek manuscripts. We know of their existence only because they are mentioned in surviving Greek works—and their destruction was proudly recorded in Roman historical records.

The Romans also burned the Library of Alexandria, the greatest repository of esoteric wisdom in the ancient Western world, and killed all the scholars and monks who knew its arcane secrets. Why? To cover up the fact that the Greeks knew certain important concepts and ideas long before the Romans got around to discovering them, and that the Greeks in turn had borrowed many of these ideas from the far more ancient Vedic civilization. The Romans wanted to take the credit, so they simply erased any part of history they didnt like. And that was just the beginning.

Later, Emperor Constantine declared Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. He convened the Council of Nicea in 312 AD to consolidate and standardize the faith. He also sent Roman legions to destroy the Library of Alexandria a second time.

His objective in standardizing Christianity was not to teach the Absolute Truth, but to unify his fragmented, disintegrating empire. Therefore, he determined which books and teachings would be included in the Catholic Bible solely on the basis of their political usefulness, and that they should be comprehensible and acceptable to any Roman citizen, most of whom were ignorant, unintelligent and materialistic.
