KARMA YUGA:
CYCLES OF TIME
In the Rishi culture Ashtanga Yoga tradition
also known as the Gitananda Yoga Paramparai, there are three important sciences, namely Mantra, Yantra and
Tantra.
Yantra is the mystical science of
number, name and form, and is a method by which one
Can learn to
live “in tune” with the cycles of the universe, rather than be “out of tune”
with those very cycles. According to theYantric concept as each number has a
special inherent quality or power, and numbers are not merely measures of
quantities as is usually presumed. Every aspect of life goes through a phase of
nines.
This phase
may be nine years, nine months, nine weeks or even nine days. This concept can
be further extended both ways to go down to nine milliseconds on one hand or up
to nine lifetimes on the other.
The
evolutionary phases of the five Tattwas (elements) are an inherent natural
cycle that manifests in all human endeavours.
By
understanding these cycles we may move with natural rhythm, rather than go
against the tides of time. We thus fulfil ourselves in a positive logical way
rather than living haphazardly. This cyclical pattern duplicates the
agricultural cycle of SOWING (three phases), CULTIVATING (three phases), and
HARVESTING (three phases). On the wheel of life, these nine distinct phases are
found to exist in a nine unit cycle of time. This cyclic progression of time is
known as the “Karma Yuga,”
