DIFINITION OF YOGA, MEANING OF YOGA, THEORETICAL MEANING OF YOGA, ORIGIN OF YOGA, YOGA AS A MEDICINE, YOGA AS A TREATMENT, YOGA IS A LIFE STYLE.
Yoga origin from
Sanskrit word "Yog",
Pāli:
योग yóga) refers to traditional
physical and
mental disciplines that originated in
India. The word is associated with meditative practices in
Hinduism,
Buddhism and
Jainism.
[2][3][4] Within Hinduism, it also refers to one of the six orthodox (
āstika) schools of
Hindu philosophy, and to the goal towards which that school directs its practices.
[5][6] In Jainism, yoga is the sum total of all activities — mental, verbal and physical.
Major branches of yoga in
Hindu philosophy include
Rāja Yoga,
Karma Yoga,
Jnana Yoga,
Bhakti Yoga, and
Hatha Yoga.
[7][8][9] According to the authoritative Indian philosopher
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, yoga, based on the
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, comprises one of the six main Hindu schools of philosophy (darshanas), together with Kapila's Samkhya, Gautama's Nyaya, Kanada's Vaisheshika, Jaimini's Purva Mimamsa, and Badarayana's Uttara Mimamsa or Vedanta.
[10] Many other
Hindu texts discuss aspects of yoga, including the
Upanishads, the
Bhagavad Gita, the
Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the
Shiva Samhita and various
Tantras.
The
Sanskrit word
yoga has many meanings,
[11] and is derived from the Sanskrit root "yuj", meaning "to control", "to yoke" or "to unite".
[12] Translations include "joining", "uniting", "union", "conjunction", and "means".
[13][14][15] It is also possible that the word yoga derives from "yujir samadhau," which means "contemplation" or "absorption."
[16] This translation fits better with the
dualist Raja Yoga because it is through contemplation that discrimination between
prakrti (nature) and
purusha (pure consciousness) occurs.
Someone who practices yoga or follows the yoga philosophy to a high level of attainment is called a
yogi or
yogini.
