Yogi

and yogic practices.

Yogins, those who are established in yoga, the family members are not merely sympathetic to yoga but they themselves are practitioners who have themselves ascended the path, who know yoga from inside, who embody the practices rather than merely admiring them.

This ensures the yoga brashta is reborn into an environment where yoga is the lived reality not merely an

external teaching.

the birth is the highest spiritual environment available in embodied existence.

Not only that, Krishna uses the word Eva as an exclusive specification.

In the family of Yogins specifically, the Eva excludes less than Yogins families even if they are devout, religious or morally excellent.

This distinction, the Suchinam Srimadam Gehe is a conducive environment for yoga development.

Wise men know who husbands one plucks golden fruit of both.

The region of high rest which Sankhyans reach, Yogins attain.

Who sees these twain as one sees with clear eyes.

Yet such abstraction, chief, is hard to win without much holiness.

Always assured this is the sense world plays with senses.

He that acts in thought of Brahm, detaching end from act, with act content, the world of sense can no more stain his soul than waters mar the enamelled lotus leaf.

With life, with heart, with mind, nay, with the help of all five senses, letting selfhood go, Yogins toil ever towards their soul's release.

Such votaries, renouncing fruit of deeds, gain endless peace.

Thank you.

Hey, Yogis.

Welcome back to another episode of How Yoga Changed My Life.

This is Mia.

So that's why the Lama Tsongkhapa, when you look at the fact Lama Tsongkhapa's yogis and practitioner.

Yeah.

Yogis, and purpose of the practice is what is the purpose of your practice? Purpose of the your practice is to get the realization of the truth, no? To realize the truth.

How can you realize it? Through the work very well, working wisely.

So you cannot say that a good practitioner, because they chant the hundred millions of the some mantra, it is not the qualities or the, it is not the definitions of the good practitioner.

Mainamaha Om So we saw the Sarvabhutastam

Atmanam, Yoma Ampashyati Sarvatra, Sarvabhutastitam Yah Yogi.

But Parama means supreme beyond which there is nothing higher.

The Atma Aupamya Samadarshana

Yogin is declared the highest of all Yogis.

This is the chapter's final

comparative ranking.

Krishna has described many grades of Yogin throughout.

even more recently, Nandul Shakti Shaiva Tantra, which I'll get into in a moment, because, well, let me just get right into that point.

So Shaiva refers to people who are devotees of the Hindu god Shiva, but in this kind of tradition, the personified image of Shiva is the archetypal Yogi and so forth.

That is, it's just an image.

You

So this is called Maha Samadhi, and it is used a little bit loosely.

For any Mahatma, any Yogi, any Swami who passes away, who leaves the body, they say this is his Mahasamadhi.

So when you hear about the Mahasamadhi of someone, it means that this is the day that that person died, that person passed away.

Okay, sometimes they use the expression, left his body, yeah, that's in different places, they describe it in different way.

Yeah, yeah.

Yogi means you have to be a devotee.

Otherwise, how will you go there? Yogi can also be devotee.

Like he said, you meditate on me, Turiya khe Narayani, Bhagavat Shabda Shabditaye.

Meditate on that.

So it works for yogis also, the same way that works the way-

Arre yogi kya hai yaar.

Yogi to aadmi hai ya kuch aur hai woh.
