Bypassing  the  Byepass

                Yogic practices has had been the part of Indian civilization but it came into prominence when Patanjali ( 3rd. c. B.C. ) codified it.
Yoga, according to Patanjali, is a methodical effort to attain perfection, thro' the control of the different elements of human nature, physical and psychical.

The physical body, the active will and the understanding mind are to be brought under control. There are four kinds of yoga: Mantrayoga, Layayoga, Hathayoga and Rajayoga.  Patanjali's yoga is of the last kind, since it deals at length with the process of stilling the mind and attaining the samadhi. Hathayoga holds that bidily activities can be mastered. Mantrayoga is based on faith-healing. Tha christian thinkers who practise this method attribute the influence to the christian faith and ministry. Lord Budha ( born 567 B.C. ) practised yoga in ascetic austerities and contemplation. The Buddhist Suttas are familiar with the yoga method of concentration. The four states of dhyana of Buddhism correspond roughly to four stages of conscious concentration in the classical yoga. According to Buddhism, the possession of the five qualities of faith, energy, thought, concentration and wisdom, enables one to attain the end of yoga.
The Upanishads, the Mahabharta including the Bhagavadgita, Jainism all accept yogic practices. Patanjali yoga is the crystallization of ideas on asceticism and contemplation.He codified the nebulous tradition evolved under the pressure of life and experience.Vatsyayana refers to an earlier form of yoga which held the doctrine of the creation of the world by the karma of the spirit, which is also responsible for the evils of love and hatred and the impulse for activity activity and the coming into being of the non-existent and the passing away of the existent. The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali is one of the

oldest textbook of the yoga school. It has four parts, of which the first treats of the nature and aim of samadhi, or meditative absorbtion, the second an account of the supernormal powers that can be attained thro' the yoga practices and the four sets forth the nature of liberation.
The Samkhya and the Yoga
Patanjali systematised the conceptions of the yoga and set them forth on the background of the metaphysics of the Samkha. The universe is uncreated and eternal. It undergoes changes. In its noumenal state it is called prakriti, which is associated with the gunas and is always the same. Ignorance of the true nature of things causes desires and the like, which are basis of of pain and suffering. The question of ignorance is meaningless in view of the begininglessness of the world. While the samkha holds that knowledge is the means of liberation , the yoga insists on the method of concentration and active striving.
Yoga a world viewThe science of yoga is not a monopoly of any spiritual system. It has been a part of every main religion of the world. The prophets of old testament right from Abraham practised it. Jesus Christ went thro' the meditational processes and achieved, in addition to many others, what is called as faith-healing. Prophet Mohd. was in the many meditational trances ( in the cave ) when he had the revealations. Islamic traditions spoke of many a schools especially the Sufi Saints who were great practitioners of yoga. These were sufi saints from central asia who spread islam in Kashmir. The theory and practise of sufi saints , whose main exponent in Kashmir was Nund Rishi, is non violence. Nund Rishi intensively practised meditation in different caves, lived a life of an ascetic on the lines of Jains.
