Deen Dayal Upadhyaya’s Integral Humanism in Modi’s Governance

 Deen Dayal Upadhyaya’s Integral Humanism in Modi’s Governance Prime Minister Narendra Modi invoked the name of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya in several of his speeches, whose Integral Humanism philosophy was adopted by the Sangh Parivar, including RSS. Modi claimed that he grew up with the ideals of Dayal Upadhyaya and his ideas inspired him to begin his political journey that culminated in his becoming the country’s head. Modi told BJP politicians that one of his aims was to aggressively promote Integral Humanism. This pleased the RSS as it felt that unlike the two past doyens of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) — former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and former home minister Lal Krishna Advani — Modi would impose its principles on the country to achieve its grand objective to create a ‘New Man’ and a ‘New Society’. Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar, who was a well-known RSS head, said that the ultimate aim of the institution was to create a “perfectly organised state of society” in which th...

Philosophy of Yoga

 Philosophy of Yoga The Yoga system assumes the same cosmological doctrines as set forth in the Samkhya system. The only difference between the two is that the Samkhya system pertains to the universal condition of nature, and the Yoga system pertains to the individual condition of nature. The process of evolution and involution of both is the same. Both are based on the fundamental logical premise that something cannot come out of nothing, that every shadow must have its substance. Therefore, the Yoga system maintains that the gross individual must have a subtle aspect from which it manifests itself and to which it will return. This subtle aspect is but a spark of the divine, and is the sole concern of Yoga. Before it is possible to understand man fully, it is necessary to examine first the forces which sustain him and cause him to be what ·he is. The energies of nature operate in him according to the necessities of survival, yet man has the inherent quality of dissolution, for he ...
