Astanga Yoga of Saint Charandas
Shri OP Tiwari · Kaivalyadhama
Aşṭänga Yoga The book Astanga Yoga is not an independent work of Swami Charandas; it is a part of the book Bhakti Sagar. As said above. Astanga is one of the chapters of the same book. It covers all 8 steps of Patanjali Yoga: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahar, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi. It starts with a talk between the Guru and Shisya. The only difference is in Yama & Niyama; perhaps it has taken the inspiration from Vashistha Samhita which describes 10 Yama & 10 Niyamas. Charandas categorize Dharana according to different tattvas. The same thing is repeated in the technique of Dhyana. But on the whole it is a unique book. One must see the evolution historically and progressively of yoga practices and this book. What we eat, what we do not. How much is described in a unique way. I am sure those who know Hindi will like much more.
