mately one who, after having become the path of Yoga (yogamargam Asady) waiver to

subjugate them through your will and to channel at will. Thanks to the asceticism of the
yogi has been triggered and sacred impersonal force, similar to the energy released by
any other act or religious ceremonial magic.
The magic character of Yoga practice is equally curly-values on other occasions, they
say, for example, which enjoys the most perfect flesh beatitudes is not Brahman, but the
I-gui, and on earth, during his ascetic training, the yogi is served by women glow, but the
sky has grown tenfold in the proportion of all the pleasures to which re-pronouncing on
earth (XIII, 107, Hopkins, Yoga-technique, pag. 336. Hauer Der Yoga als Heilweg, pag.

FOLKLORE YOGA
Hypnotism was well known, we have already alluded to (XIII, 40-41) who protected
through hypnosis, the wife of his master (see page. 94). Hypnotism is explained as'
penetration into the body of the other "extremely archaic belief that inspired countless
tales and legends. The rsi Usa-nas, Yoga teacher, is projected onto the god of wealth, Kubera,
duefio thus becoming all the treasures of this (XII, 290, 12). Another episode (XV,
26, 26-29) tells us that the ascetic way Vidura abandoned when her body against the
trunk of a tree and penetrates in the body of Yudhisthira, who assimilates well all the
virtues of the ascetic. It is a matter of folklore ma-gic, illustrated mainly by many tales of
"introduction into the bodies" (See IV, 3). We must not forget , also, that among the
siddhi acquired by yogis, Patanjali mentions the operation of "passage from one body to

Classical Yoga of Patanjali or the set of techniques "magical" we've seen so far, but an
appropriate Yoga visnuita religious experience, a method connection with the acquisition
of the unio mystica. Considering the fact that the Bhagavad-Gita re-presents not only the
summit of Indian ecumenical spirituality, but also a vast synthesis assay, in which all the
"paths" of salvation are validated and incorporated into the devo visnuita-ture, the
importance attached there to Yoga Krishna equals being a true triumph of the yogi
tradition. The strong tone that gives theistic Krishna helps us a lot to understand the
function that Yoga plays in the overall in-gave spiritualism. Indeed, des conclusions
emerge from this testing: 1) Yoga as a discipline can be turned mystic whose purpose
would be the union of human souls and divine, 2 °) is well-like mystical experience, as
has been understood and Yoga applied in large current popular devotion, "sectarian"
