PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE ON CONSCIOUSNESS AND MIND

P. Dhanapathi

Abstract: The study of consciousness and mind is the subject of exploration in the branch of philosophy, psychology, neuroscience and yoga with the quest of nature, function and their results. This study focuses on the nature of consciousness and mind in Samkhya, Yoga of Indian Philosophical systems and modern SKY-Yoga Philosophical Perspective of Vethathiri Maharishi. The focus is also on functional intricacies of bio-consciousness, the network functions of mind, the functional boundaries of mind, and also on whether the consciousness exists independent of physical world with reference to Simplified Kundalini Yoga (SKY). The revelation of Vethathiri Maharishi on the link between the Brahmam, Cosmic consciousness and bio-consciousness supports his hypothesis as ‘each energy-particle that goes to make up this Universe is both physical and psychic quality’. Keywords: Simplified Kundalini Yoga (SKY), Vethathiri Maharishi, Brahmam, Bio-Consciousness, Mind. Title: PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE ON CONSCIOUSNESS AND MIND Author: P.
