==History of Yoga==
===Indus Valley seals===
], showing a figure in meditation posture.]]

Several seals discovered at ] (c. 3300–1700 BC) sites depict figures in a yoga or meditation like posture. There is considerable evidence to support the idea that the images show "a form of ritual discipline, suggesting a precursor of yoga"<ref>Possehl (2003), p. 144</ref> according to archaeologist ]. He points to sixteen other specific "yogi glyptics"<ref>Possehl (2003), p. 145</ref> in the corpus of Mature Harappan artifacts as pointing to Harappan devotion to "ritual discipline and concentration." These images show that the yoga pose "may have been used by deities and humans alike." Possehl suggests that yoga goes back to the Indus Valley Civilization.<ref>Possehl (2003), p. 144</ref>

The most widely known of these images was named the "]"<ref>Marshall, Sir John, ''Mohenjo Daro and the Indus Civilization'', London 1931</ref> by its discoverer, ], who believed that it represented a "proto-Shiva" figure.<ref>Flood (1996), pp. 28-29.</ref> Many modern authorities discount the idea that this "Pashupati" (Lord of Animals, Sanskrit ''{{IAST|paśupati}}'')<ref>For translation of ''{{IAST|paśupati}}'' as "Lord of Animals" see: Michaels, p. 312.</ref> represents a Shiva or Rudra figure.<ref>Keay, p. 14.</ref><ref>Possehl (2003), p. 143</ref> Gavin Flood also characterizes these views as "speculative", saying that it is not clear from the 'Pashupati' seal that the figure is seated in a yoga posture, or that the shape is intended to represent a human figure.<ref>Flood (1996), pp. 28-29.</ref><ref>Flood (2003), pp. 204-205.</ref> Authorities who support the idea that the 'Pashupati' figure shows a figure in a yoga or meditation posture include Archaeologist ], current Co-director of the Harappa Archaeological Research Project in Pakistan<ref>Kenoyer describes the figure as "seated in yogic position" with "the heels...pressed together under the groin." </ref><ref></ref> and Indologist ].<ref>Zimmer describes the figure as "seated like a yogi." Zimmer, Heinrich, ''Myths and Symbols in Indian Art and Civilization''. Princeton University Press; New Ed edition (May 1, 1972). ISBN:978-0691017785</ref>

In 2007, terracotta seals were discovered in the ] in Pakistan. Punjab University Archaeology Department Chairman Dr. Farzand Masih described one of the seals as similar to the previously discovered Mohenjodaro seals, with three pictographs on one side and a "yogi" on the other side.<ref></ref><ref>''Ruins identical to Mohenjodaro, Harappa possibly exist in Pakistan'', Malaysia Sun, May 8, 2007</ref>

===Literary sources===
{{See also|History of Yoga}}

Ascetic practices ('']'') are referenced in the ] (900 BCE and 500 BCE),<ref>Flood, p. 94.</ref> early commentaries on the vedas. In the Upanishads, an early reference to meditation is made in ],<ref>Flood, p. 94.</ref> one of the earliest Upanishads (approx. 900 BCE). The main textual sources for the evolving concept of Yoga are the middle ], (ca. 400 BCE), the ] (5th c. BCE) including the ] (ca. 200 BCE), and the ] (200 BCE-300 CE).

====Bhagavad Gita====
{{Main|Bhagavad Gita}}
The Bhagavad Gita ('Song of the Lord'), uses the term ''yoga'' extensively in a variety of senses. Of many possible meanings given to the term in the Gita, most emphasis is given to these three:<ref>Flood, p. 96.</ref>

*]: The yoga of action
*]: The yoga of devotion
*]: The yoga of knowledge

The influential commentator ] (b. circa 1490) divided the Gita's eighteen chapters into three sections, each of six chapters. According to his method of division the first six chapters deal with Karma yoga, the middle six deal with Bhakti yoga, and the last six deal with Jnana (knowledge).<ref> Gambhirananda, p. 16.</ref> This interpretation has been adopted by some later commentators and rejected by others.

====Yoga Sutras of Patanjali====
{{main|Raja Yoga|Yoga Sutras of Patanjali}}
In ], Yoga is the name of one of the six ] philosophical schools.<ref>For an overview of the six orthodox schools, with detail on the grouping of schools, see: Radhakrishnan and Moore, "Contents", and pp. 453-487.</ref><ref>For a brief overview of the Yoga school of philosophy see: Chatterjee and Datta, p. 43.</ref> The Yoga philosophical system is closely allied with the ] school.<ref>For close connection between Yoga philosophy and Samkhya, see: Chatterjee and Datta, p. 43.</ref> The Yoga school as expounded by Patanjali accepts the Samkhya psychology and metaphysics, but is more theistic than the Samkhya, as evidenced by the addition of a divine entity to the Samkhya's twenty-five elements of reality.<ref>For Yoga acceptance of Samkhya concepts, but with addition of a category for God, see: Radhakrishnan and Moore, p. 453.</ref><ref>For Yoga as accepting the 25 principles of Samkhya with the addition of God, see: Chatterjee and Datta, p. 43.</ref> The parallels between Yoga and Samkhya were so close that ] says that "the two philosophies were in popular parlance distinguished from each other as Samkhya with and Samkhya without a Lord...."<ref>Müller (1899), Chapter 7, "Yoga Philosophy", p. 104.</ref> The intimate relationship between Samkhya and Yoga is explained by ]:

<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">
These two are regarded in India as twins, the two aspects of a single discipline. {{IAST|Sāṅkhya}} provides a basic theoretical exposition of human nature, enumerating and defining its elements, analyzing their manner of co-operation in a state of bondage (''bandha''), and describing their state of disentanglement or separation in release (''{{IAST|mokṣa}}''), while Yoga treats specifically of the dynamics of the process for the disentanglement, and outlines practical techniques for the gaining of release, or 'isolation-integration' (''kaivalya'').<ref>Zimmer (1951), p. 280.</ref>
</blockquote>

The sage Patanjali is regarded as the founder of the formal Yoga philosophy.<ref>For Patanjali as the founder of the philosophical system called Yoga see: Chatterjee and Datta, p. 42.</ref> The ] are ascribed to Patanjali, who, may have been, as Max Müller explains, "the author or representative of the Yoga-philosophy without being necessarily the author of the Sutras."<ref>Müeller (1899), Chapter 7, "Yoga Philosophy", pp. 97-98.</ref> Indologist Axel Michaels is dismissive of claims that the work was written by Patanjali, characterizing it instead as a collection of fragments and traditions of texts stemming from the second or third century.<ref>For the Yoga Sutras as a collection dating to second or third century, see: Michaels, p. 267.</ref> Gavin Flood cites a wider period of uncertainty for the composition, between 100 BCE and 500 CE.<ref>For dating between 100 BCE and 500 CE see: Flood (1996), page 96.</ref>

Patanjali's yoga is known as ], which is a system for control of the mind.<ref>For "raja yoga" as a system for control of the mind and connection to Patanjali's Yoga Sutras as a key work, see: Flood (1996), pp. 96-98.</ref> Patanjali defines the word "yoga" in his second sutra, which is the definitional sutra for his entire work:

<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;">''{{IAST|'''योग: चित्त-वृत्ति निरोध:''' <br> ( yogaś citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ ) }}''<br>- Yoga Sutras 1.2</blockquote>

This terse definition hinges on the meaning of three Sanskrit terms. I. K. Taimni translates it as "Yoga is the inhibition (''{{IAST|nirodhaḥ}}'') of the modifications (''{{IAST|vṛtti}}'') of the mind (''{{IAST|citta}}'')".<ref>For text and word-by-word translation as "Yoga is the inhibition of the modifications of the mind" see: Taimni, p. 6.</ref> ] translates the sutra as "Yoga is restraining the mind-stuff (Citta) from taking various forms (Vrittis)."<ref>Vivekanada, p. 115.</ref> Gavin Flood translates the sutra as "yoga is the cessation of mental fluctuations".<ref>For "yoga is the cessation of mental fluctuations" see: Flood (1996), p. 96.</ref>

] yogi in the ], ]]]

Patanjali's writing also became the basis for a system referred to it as "Ashtanga Yoga" ("Eight-Limbed Yoga"). This eight-limbed concept derived from the 29<sup>th</sup> Sutra of the 2<sup>nd</sup> book became a feature of Raja yoga, and is a core characteristic of practically every Raja yoga variation taught today.The Eight Limbs of yoga practice are:
:(1) '']'' (The five "abstentions"): nonviolence, truth, non-covetousness, chastity, and abstain from attachment to possessions.
:(2) '']'' (The five "observances"): purity, contentment, austerities, study, and surrender to ]
:(3) '']'': Literally means "seat", and in Patanjali's Sutras refers to seated positions used for meditation. Later, with the rise of Hatha yoga, asana came to refer to all the "postures"
:(4) '']'' ("Lengthening Prāna"): ''Prāna'', life force, or vital energy, particularly, the breath, "āyāma", to lengthen or extend
:(5) '']'' ("Abstraction"): Withdrawal of the sense organs from external objects.
:(6) '']'' ("Concentration"): Fixing the attention on a single object
:(7) '']'' ("Meditation"): Intense contemplation of the nature of the object of meditation
:(8) '']'' ("Liberation"): merging consciousness with the object of meditation

They are sometimes divided into the lower and the upper four limbs, the lower ones being parallel to the lower limbs of ], while the upper ones being specific for the ].
The upper three limbs practiced simultaneously constitute the ].

It details every aspect of the meditative process, and the preparation for it. The book is available in as many as 40 English translations, both in-print and on-line.



====Hatha Yoga Pradipika====
{{Main|Hatha yoga}}

Hatha Yoga is a particular system of Yoga described by ], a yogic sage of the 15th century in India, and compiler of the ]. Hatha Yoga is a development of — but also differs substantially from — the ] of Patanjali, in that it focuses on '']'', the purification of the physical as leading to the purification of the mind (''ha''), and '']'', or vital energy (''tha'').<ref>Living Yoga: Creating a Life Practice - Page 42 by Christy Turlington (page 42)</ref><ref>Guiding Yoga's Light: Yoga Lessons for Yoga Teachers - Page 10 by Nancy Gerstein </ref> In contrast, the Raja Yoga posited by Patanjali begins with a purification of the mind (''yamas'') and spirit (''niyamas''), then comes to the body via '']'' (body postures) and '']'' (breath). Hatha yoga contains substantial ] influence,<ref>Mindfulness Yoga: The Awakened Union of Breath Body & Mind - Page 6 by Frank Jude Boccio</ref><ref>Yoga: The Indian Tradition By Ian Whicher, David Carpenter (page 8)</ref> and marks the first point at which ] and ] were introduced into the yogic canon. Compared to the seated asanas of Patanjali's Raja yoga which were seen largely as a means of preparing for meditation, it also marks the development of asanas as full body 'postures' in the modern sense.<ref name=Burley>Hatha Yoga: Its Context, Theory and Practice By Mikel Burley (page 16)</ref>

Hatha Yoga in its many modern variations is the style that most people actually associate with the word "Yoga" today.<ref>Feuerstein, Georg. (1996). ''The Shambhala Guide to Yoga''. Boston & London: Shambhala Publications, Inc.</ref> Because its emphasis is on the body through ''asana'' and ''pranayama'' practice, many western students are satisfied with the physical health and vitality it develops and are not interested in the other six limbs of the complete Hatha yoga teaching, or with the even older Raja Yoga tradition it is based on.
