Yogic powers
Ram Lakhan Pandey Vimal
<rlpvimal@yahoo.co.in>Thank you, Satya ji.
In DPV~ICRDAM (spirituality-based Dvi-Pakṣādvaita Vedānta, which is equivalent to science-based Inseparable-Complementary-Reflective Dual-Aspect Monism), both (i) the experience of the highest degree of happiness (bliss) and (ii) the experience of being a vast, infinite invisible entity are conscious subjective experiences (CSEs). Each of these experiences has its own specific neural-physical activity and basis (NPA/NPB), functioning as the inseparable, complementary, and reflective non-subjective (ns) aspect of their respective conscious dual-aspect (DA) state (DAS) of Active Dynamic Self (ADS).
These meditative techniques establish specific neural networks, resulting in endogenous CSEs. They do not correspond to any external reality; in other words, there are no external entities or objects involved in these experiences. Instead, these experiences arise from within the yogis’ minds, specifically from their mind-brain systems.

1. From Claim to Evidence: A Scientific Roadmap for Evaluating Yogi Satya ji’s TechniquesRespectful Inquiry: How to Test and Publish the Effects of Yogi Satya ji’s Practices
Dear Satya ji,
Thank you for sharing your techniques and experiences. While your claims are remarkable, if we wish to present them to a wider audience—both spiritual seekers and the scientific community—we must follow scientific methodology. This will help ensure that the results are credible, reproducible, and respected internationally.
1. Importance of Scientific EvaluationExtraordinary claims require systematic investigation (Popper, 1959). Spiritual or yogic techniques can indeed have transformative potential, but publishing in peer-reviewed high-impact journals requires well-documented evidence-based studies (Ioannidis, 2018).
2. Sample Size and Data CollectionFor a pilot study, we should start with at least 10–15 participants (Creswell & Creswell, 2018). Randomly selected individuals ensure that results are not biased toward only highly motivated or exceptional cases.
3. Structured QuestionnaireWe need to design a scientific questionnaire to measure psychological, physiological, and experiential outcomes of your techniques. Such tools are commonly used in clinical psychology and contemplative science (Davidson & Kaszniak, 2015).
Key measurable domains may include:
· Physical health (energy levels, digestion, immune markers)
· Psychological health (stress, depression, well-being)
· Spiritual/experiential states (self-reported bliss, transformation)
Validated scales—such as the WHO-5 Well-Being Index or Perceived Stress Scale—can be integrated (Topp et al., 2015).
Excellent 👍 Here is a draft scientific questionnaire (10 questions) tailored for evaluating the effects of Yogi Satya ji’s techniques. It combines physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being measures, while remaining simple for participants to complete.
4. Controlled MethodologyTo ensure reliability, studies should follow randomized controlled trial (RCT) or at least pre–post intervention designs (Schulz et al., 2010). This will allow us to compare outcomes between those practicing your techniques and those not practicing them.
5. Free Access and Ethical ResearchAs suggested, techniques should initially be kept free for study participants. Ethical research guidelines require informed consent and voluntary participation (Belmont Report, 1979).
6. Pathway to PublicationOnce we collect data and analyze it statistically, we can submit results to journals such as:
· Journal of Psychosomatic Research
· Frontiers in Psychology
· Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine
Such publications will bring both credibility and global recognition.
7. Long-Term BenefitsIf results show measurable improvements, this will generate organic demand for your teachings. People will be more willing to invest once they see documented, peer-reviewed evidence of efficacy (Frazier, 2024).
8. Conclusion
Your techniques—whether "Heat," "Sun," "Bliss," or "Immortal"—may indeed carry great potential. To share them responsibly with the world, we must carefully test, measure, and publish the results. This path will allow both seekers and scientists to recognize the true value of your contributions.
With respect and collaboration,
Ram

<rlpvimal@yahoo.co.in>No Experience Yet Not Nothing: Interpreting Deep Sleep in Science and Vedānta
Dear Satya ji,
Short answer:
Yes, I agree that in deep sleep, we do not have CSE (conscious subjective experience) as we have during wakeful attentive conscious state. Per DPV~ICRDAM, a non-conscious state of an entity has related proto-consciousness (protoC) as subjective (s) aspect. For example:
(i) Deep_sleep_protoC as s-aspect and related NPA/NPB as inseparable, complementary, and reflective non-subjective (ns) aspect, and
(ii) Stone_protoC as s-aspect and related matter (stone’s consitutents’ elementary particles) as inseparable, complementary, and reflective non-subjective (ns) aspect. This is ChitPadartha in Sastryji’s NVYS system.
Long answer
Thank you very much for your thoughtful reflections on the different aspects of deep sleep. You have rightly pointed out that deep sleep is a universal natural experience—we all fall into it, and during that state it seems as if “we do not exist.” Indeed, in deep sleep there is no conscious subjective experience (CSE) of self, world, or even time. From the first-person perspective, it feels like nothingness.
You also mentioned that the statement “I slept well, I knew nothing” may not indicate a witnessing awareness, but rather a post-sleep memory and comparison: before sleep there was exhaustion, after sleep there is refreshment. I agree that this distinction is very important.
From the perspective of DPV~ICRDAM:
1. Absence of CSE in Deep Sleep:
In deep sleep, the active CSEs of wakefulness are indeed absent. The s-aspect is not “lost,” but it remains in its latent proto-conscious (protoC) form.
2. Dual-Aspect Structure (DAS) in Deep Sleep:
o The s-aspect is deep_sleep_protoC: a non-conscious but potential form of subjectivity.
o The ns-aspect is the neural dynamics of slow-wave oscillations, memory consolidation, and physiological repair processes.
o These two aspects remain inseparable, complementary, and reflective, even though no active experience is presented.
3. Comparison with Other States:
o In wakefulness, s-aspect = conscious experiences (thoughts, perceptions, emotions), ns-aspect = correlated neural activity.
o In deep sleep, s-aspect = protoC (latent), ns-aspect = neural repair/maintenance processes.
o In stone, s-aspect = stone_protoC, ns-aspect = stone’s physical constituents. This corresponds to Caitanya-padaartha (ChitPadārtha) as described in Sastryji’s Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika-Yoga-Sūtra system.
4. On Witnessing (Vedāntic nuance):
Advaita Vedānta interprets deep sleep as retaining a subtle “witness” (sākṣin). However, in DPV~ICRDAM, this can be reinterpreted as the persistence of protoC without structured CSE. The later recollection “I knew nothing” arises not from direct witnessing but from memory comparison: exhaustion before → refreshment after.
5. Table: Deep Sleep — Vedāntic Witness vs. DPV~ICRDAM ProtoC View
Let us add a short table contrasting Vedāntic witness view vs DPV~ICRDAM protoC view of deep sleep?
|
Perspective |
What persists in deep sleep? |
How do we explain “I slept well”? |
Ontological Status of s-aspect |
|
Advaita Vedānta |
Witness (sākṣin) awareness continues, subtle but unmanifest |
Due to witness’ registration of absence of experience |
Awareness never ceases, only veiled |
|
DPV~ICRDAM |
Proto-consciousness (protoC) persists, but no active CSE |
Due to memory comparison (exhaustion → refreshment) after waking |
s-aspect remains latent, reflective but non-conscious |
6. On Witnessing (Resolution)
Thus, I fully agree with your observation: there is no direct experience of deep sleep itself, only the after-effect memory of restoration. In DPV~ICRDAM, the body and brain function as the ns-aspect, while protoC remains as the s-aspect. This way, deep sleep is not absolute nothingness, but a non-conscious proto-conscious state within the inseparable dual-aspect framework.

Dear Satya ji,
1. Deep Sleep and the Immortal State: A DPV~ICRDAM Perspective
Bliss, Bodylessness, and Witnessing in Deep Sleep: Reply to Satya ji
Thank you for sharing your profound experiential insights. You have beautifully differentiated between (i) bliss states involving subtle nerve activity, breath-like currents, and whole-body resonance, and (ii) the immortal / vast invisible state, which you describe as bodilessness, nervelessness, and experience-less-ness—sometimes felt as a dissolution of self.
Your question about deep sleep in relation to the DPV~ICRDAM framework is very important. Let me briefly explain:
1. Dual-Aspect State (DAS):
In DPV~ICRDAM, every state of existence (entity) is a dual-aspect state, with the subjective (s) aspect and the non-subjective (ns) aspect being inseparable and complementary (Vimal, 2025a).2. Deep Sleep in Neuroscience:
From the ns-aspect perspective, deep sleep corresponds to global downscaling of cortical activity and reduced large-scale integration in the brain (Tononi & Edelman, 1998; Mashour et al., 2020).3. Deep Sleep in the s-aspect (Experience):
Subjectively, deep sleep is characterized as absence of differentiated experiences, yet Vedānta holds that a subtle seed of self-awareness (the witness) remains (Śaṅkara, Brahma Sūtra Bhāṣya 2.3.18). In DPV~ICRDAM terms, this corresponds to a minimal reflective state, where the s-aspect does not present structured contents (no thought, no perception, no memory replay), but the reflective interface between s and ns is still intact.4. Comparison with Bliss vs. Immortal States:
o In bliss, as you note, subtle s–ns reflections are active—nervous activity (ns-asspect) mirrors subtle experiential joy (s-aspect).
o In immortal/vast invisible, the structured reflection collapses, leading to an experience of experience-lessness. This is close to deep sleep, but with a critical distinction: in deep sleep, the experiencer later says “I slept well, I knew nothing”—indicating the presence of a witnessing seed (ānandamaya kośa, causal sheath). In contrast, your description of immortal state suggests conscious bodyless awareness, which Vedānta and DPV~ICRDAM recognize as distinct from unconscious deep sleep.
5. DPV~ICRDAM Resolution:
o Deep Sleep: Minimal reflective DAS → latent consciousness without manifest experience, ie., deep_sleep_protoconsciousness.
o Immortal State: Transcendence of DAS contents while retaining subtle awareness of bodiless being → not unconscious, but supra-conscious.
Thus, while both feel like absence of normal experience, deep sleep is an unconscious reflective state, whereas the immortal state is a conscious transcendental reflective state.Both have their own neural-network and neural-physical acivity/basis (NPA/NPB). It is important to note that brain is active during deep sleep because consolidation of long term memory occurs.
It is important to note that the brain is active during deep sleep because consolidation of long-term memory occurs. Elaborate further on the activities in its neural network. What other functions are performed during deep sleep? Please provide citations and references. Make it scientific. Also add a small diagram (text-based) contrasting bliss, deep sleep, and immortal states within DPV~ICRDAM.
It is correct that deep sleep is not a “shutdown” of the brain—rather, it is a highly organized state with important functions for memory, immunity, and neural restoration. Below I’ve prepared a scientific elaboration plus a text-based comparative diagram as you requested.
1. Brain Activity in Deep Sleep
Deep sleep (also called slow-wave sleep, SWS) is the deepest stage of non-REM (NREM) sleep, characterized by synchronized oscillations in cortical and thalamic networks (0.5–4 Hz delta waves) (Steriade et al., 1993). Contrary to popular belief, the brain remains highly active during this stage but in a patterned, restorative manner.
Key Neural Activities:
1. Memory Consolidation:
o Hippocampal sharp-wave ripples and cortical slow oscillations coordinate to transfer short-term memories into long-term storage (Diekelmann & Born, 2010).
o Particularly important for declarative memory (facts, events).
2. Synaptic Homeostasis:
o According to the synaptic homeostasis hypothesis, sleep downscales synaptic weights accumulated during wakefulness, preventing neural saturation and optimizing signal-to-noise ratio (Tononi & Cirelli, 2014).
3. Glymphatic System Activation (Brain “Cleaning”):
o Deep sleep increases cerebrospinal fluid flow, which clears metabolic waste such as β-amyloid, potentially protecting against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s (Xie et al., 2013).
4. Hormonal Regulation:
o Growth hormone is secreted in pulses during deep sleep, supporting cellular repair, tissue growth, and metabolism regulation (Van Cauter et al., 2000).
5. Immune System Boost:
o Cytokine release during deep sleep enhances immune responses, reinforcing recovery and defense against infections (Irwin, 2015).
2. DPV~ICRDAM Interpretation of Deep Sleep
- ns-aspect (neural/physical): Highly organized oscillations for consolidation, repair, and cleansing.
- s-aspect (subjective): No structured experiential content, but a latent “I knew nothing, yet I slept well” awareness remains—reflecting a minimal reflective DAS.
- Comparison: Unlike “bliss” (with joyful structured contents) or “immortal state” (with conscious transcendence of bodily identity), deep sleep reflects unconscious restoration within the DAS framework.

8 (4.2.8). Heptagonal Cyclic Cosmology (HCC)
From Neutral Nirguṇa Brahman to Manifested Reality: Cooling-Driven Cycles of Dual-Aspect Cosmic Evolution
The Heptagonal Cyclic Cosmology (HCC) with 7 states of cosmos (Brahmāṇḍa/ब्रह्माण्ड) is as follows:
S1 (NB) : State S1 of cosmos (Brahmāṇḍa/ब्रह्माण्ड): <Neutral NB ~ neutral preBB_QVF with potentiality of quantum fluctuations (QFs)> → (through symmetry breaking and phase transition)
S2 (SB): State S2 of cosmos (Brahmāṇḍa/ब्रह्माण्ड): <manifested DA_QF_SB ~ PreBB_QVF_QF with real manifested QF that led to BB> →
S3 (SB): State S3 of cosmos (Brahmāṇḍa/ब्रह्माण्ड): BB → (through phase transition due to temperature drop from BB to pre_Planck epoch)
S4 (SB): State S4 is the current dual-aspect state (DAS) of cosmos (Brahmāṇḍa/ ब्रह्माण्ड): DA_SB~DA_UF (part of Lambda-CDM (ΛCDM), present universe) →
S5 (SB): BF/HD/TD/BR/BC/MP (Big Freeze, Heat Death, Thermal Death, Big Rip, Big Crunch, Mahāpralaya) →
S6 (SB): <manifested Post_BF/HD/TD/BR/BC/MP_DA_QF_SB with real manifested QF> →
S7 (NB) : <neutral Post_BF/HD/TD/BR/BC/MP_QVF with potentiality of quantum fluctuations (QFs)> →
S1 (NB) : <Neutral NB ~ neutral preBB_QVF with potentiality of quantum fluctuations (QFs)> to complete one cycle
