ABSTRACT

Knowledge originates from Yoga, knowledge inturn potentiates Yoga, Yoga and knowledge are eternal and Yogi also attains immortality. The term, Yoga appears to have been used in divergent meaning in the ancient and contemporary literature. Etymologically the work Yoga is derived from the Samskrita root 'yujira' meaning to unite, to combine or to integrate and thus may be taken to mean a state of union or integration i.e. the union of the individual soul or consciousness with the Cosmic, Divine or Supreme Soul or Consciousness or a total integration of the physical, mental, intellectual and the spiritual aspects of the human personality.
