The founder of the Yoga - Hiranyagarbha

The founder of the Yoga - Hiranyagarbha

Many yogas students consider Patanjali as the father of yoga-Patanjali, however, was a wise man who put together the yoga cutras and took over various ideas for yoga that had previously existed, such as the Ashtanga or the path with eight. It is more useful to consider Patanjali and his teachings as a goal for older, older teachings.

The old texts tell us that the original founder of Yoga Dharshana (yoga vision or philosophy) was Hiranyagarbha, which means the golden embryo on Sanskrit. This is most important in the Bhagavad Geeta, the most important text of the Mahabharata.

According to certain descent lines, the Hiranyagarbha's secondary student is Vasishta, which is responsible for the Yoga Vasishta, which is considered one of the greatest writings for yoga philosophy.

The Yoga Vasishta takes up ideas from yoga philosophy, samkhya philosophy, jain philosophy, Buddhism and Vedanta. The text is a discourse between Vasishta and Rama and is said to have been written in front of Ramayana. It is also said that it is one of the most important writings relating to yoga.

There is a specific conviction that you can achieve spiritual enlightenment by simply reciting the verses of the yoga vasishta.

The dialogue of the book is Rama as a spiritual viewfinder on the way to enlightenment, which speaks to the large lit wise wise vasishta. If you read the conversation, you can also read the direct path to the truth.

A very important concept - Vairagya in Sanskrit - or distancing is used as a starting point for explanation of philosophy.

The Yoga Vasishta describes seven stages for enlightenment. The first is subheccha or longing for the truth. The second is Vicarana or the right request. The third is Tanumanasa or slowing intellectual activities. The fourth is saddled or reaching the truth. The fifth is Asamsakti, where the yogi fulfills its duties or Dharmas, without the feeling of binding to you or expecting you. The sixth is Padartha Ababavana, where the yogi sees Brahman and unity everywhere. Finally, the yogi Turiya or permanent samadhi or enlightenment

Some are now coming back to the founder of yoga and say that the old texts - the Vedas, the Upanishads etc. - Hiranyagarbha describe as God himself.

in the Rigveda Hiranyagarbha is described as the god of the gods and mentions that there is no one who accepts him. Old writings also call him Brahman or the soul of the universe.
