IIT Delhi Online Course 5 | Q&A | Session 2 | Sri M | 2023

In Session 2 of the Online course with IIT Delhi is a Q&A session where Sri M answers many questions on the intellect, the mind and scientific investigations and experimental methods to asses the effects of Yogic practices.
This online session took place in Madanapalle in March 2023.

00:00 – Introduction
00:05 – Q1 – You gave examples of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Albert Einstein who understood things through their intellect rather than through knowledge gained. In the present academic setup, is there hope for academicians to be able to inculcate that intellect?
17:11 – Story from the Chandogya Upanishad
30:30 – Q2 – Who was the first person to discover that we can reach the inner depths of the mind when the mind becomes completely still?
33:01 – Q3 – Why does the mind inherently have this need for certainty?
36:44 – Q4 – You shared about the need for the development of the mind in the academic framework so that individuals are prepared to explore further. Could you suggest any literature or ancient texts that can help with this purpose?
42:46 – Q5 – What are the kind of parameters should we look at, to study the influence of these yogic practices on the human being?
48:39 – Discussion based on the analogy of the banyan seed and the apparent ‘nothingness’ that the banyan seed seems to be growing from, comparing it to state of natural emptiness of the mind – shunyata
52:19 – Discussion on scientific investigations of the meditative state.
57:33 – If we want these yogic techniques to be practised in an academic set-up, how do we tackle the issue of ‘individual differences’?
