Concept of yoga:

Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Yuj,' which means 'joining.' "The individual

soul (jivatma) is united with or joined to the Supreme Soul (Paramatma) through
the practise of yoga. Union with God is the goal of human life; it is the be-all and
end-all of human existence. The origin of yoga can be traced back to Hindu

Civilization in Vedas, where it was mentioned that yoga was good for health

fitness and well-being. Yoga seeks to build perfect coordination between mind and

body, which is necessary for focus.

According to MaharishiPatanjali (Sutra 2-1), "Yoga Chitta Vriti Nirodha" (-form-fa

farmu:), which means "Yoga Chitta VritiNirodha" (-form-fa-farmu:), "Yoga Chitta

Vriti Nirodha" (-form-fa-farmu:), "Yoga Chitta Vriti Nirodha" (-form-fa- "Yoga is
defined as the suspension of change.
 "Yoga is the separation of sense organs from worldly objects and their

management," according to MaharishiPatanjali. The word "Chitta" (f) derives

from the word "Cit," which means "knowledge of being."

Knowledge of perception is a thought wave (Vritti) in the mind. Allknowledge of

perception is therefore an objective. Mind is not the seer, but just an instruction

of knowledge, an object of perception--like the outer world.

The last word "Nirodhah" is derived from the Sanskrit term Nirudham, which

means "restrained," "controlled," or "inhibited." These are the three stages of

Yoga Restraint involves in the initial stage, control in the more advanced inhibition,

or complete supression in the last yoga, defined as such, helps an individual to

exercise restraint on his body and mind by keeping him away from the allurements

of the world "The five senses are Roop, Ras, Gandha, Sparsh, and Savda(r). In
simple terms, yoga is 'checking the impulses of the mind.'
Lord Krishna said in the Bhagwad Gita, "Skill in action or efficiency alone is yoga."

According to Dr. Radha Krishnan, a great philosopher and former president of

India, "Yoga is an ancient way which leads man from darkness to light." According
to Vedanta, "Yoga is an ancient way which leads man from darkness to light." Yoga
Vassistha claims that "The gadget or strategy that is used to lead.

The name 'Yoga' refers to a successful journey through life, and the definitions

provided above can assist us in forming the following concusions regarding the
nature and qualities of Yoga.

(a) Yoga is a set of tools and techniques for bringing Atma (soul) and Paramatma

(universe) together (Greater soul)

(b) Yoga aids in the provision of mental checks and pulls, as well as the greediness

of our sensual cravings.

(c) Yoga aids in the defeat of evil intents, the purifying of our emotions and

thinking.

(d) Yoga gives us a lot of energy to help us do the responsibilities associated with

our varied life paths.

(e) With the help of yoga, man can become the master of an unlimited energy;
(f) Yoga is a means of obtaining the path of wisdom for leading a prosperous life.

(e) Yoga aids in the development of our concentration power and the
maintenance of our attention, allowing us to achieve the state of Samadhi, which

allows us to integrate with the Supreme Power and achieve Moksha.

Despite the fact that all of the preceding conclusions strongly kneel over the
mental, philosophical, and spiritual components of yoga, the importance of yoga
to one's physical and physiological development and welfare is undeniable.

In this sense, yoga can be summarised as the techniques and means of assisting

an individual in achieving maximum physical, mental, and spiritual advantages, as

well as living a joyful, well-contented, and tranquilexistence in perfect harmony.

Types of yoga:

Different Yogacharya have given birth to a number of paths or schools of yoga, and

these are not watertight compartments but crisscross each other, and if you

follow one systematically, you will automatically gain knowledge of the others.
What path is to be followed by a Sadhak or what means and methods he should
adopt for the merger of his self with the Greater Soul (Self), different Yogacharya

have given birth to a number of paths or schools of yoga.

Raja Yoga is a type of yoga that originated in India.

Raja Yoga is also known as Ashtanga Yoga or "Yoga with Eight Limbs," and it aims
to control allthought-waves or mental modifications. It is a much more difficult
process to control and purify the mind than it is to control and purify the body.
Raja denotes 'royal,' and Raja Yoga is the royal path to Self-Realization through
meditation.

It necessitates consistent and continual practise, after which boundless strength,

knowledge, and peace of mind are attained.

Raja Yoga transforms you into:

"Om-Omniscient-Omnipresent-Omnipotent-Omnipotent-Omnipotent
Omnipotent-Omnipot
Gyana-Yoga is the second type of yoga.
Gyana Yoga (also known as Jnana Yoga) literally means knowledge, insight, or

Gyana and Yoga are inextricably linked and interdependent, since one cannot do
yoga without first acquiring adequate Gyana, or knowledge, and one cannot
follow the path of Gyana without first engaging in yoga sadhna, or the process of
changing intellectual knowledge into spiritual understanding.

The Gyana, or knowledge, is divided into two types: ISthoola (the gross) Gyana
and (ii) Sukshma (the subtle) Gyana. The Sthoola Gyana is concerned with the
knowledge and awareness of worldly objects and affairs, or physical knowledge;
the Sukshma Gyana is concerned with the actual realities of life, self realisation,
and identification with Brahma. In his text 'Gita Rahasya,' Gyan (knowledge)

Lokamanya Tilak writes, "The eternal Brahama can be found in all of the world's

sattivic gyan, rajas gyan, and tamas gyan." The Bhagavad Gita expresses its views

on this topic as follows: "On expressing its views on this aspect, the person On
