Natha Yoga Method

Abstract

Nathaog-Sadhana, Ashtangayog-sadhana is only. In some theoretical texts, the discussion of Shudding Yoga is found in place of Ashtanga Yoga. In this, two limbs of the beginning are not mentioned in the Yama-Rule, but their inevitability is similar to the Ashanggun in Sadhana. In fact, yama and rule are the initial steps of yoga, without the practice of which the ascents on the front steps are not possible for ordinary seekers. Due to this, they should not be considered to be unimportant. Although the Nathaogi also practices Ashtang or Shigang Yoga, the identification of them is a special type of Yoga which is bound to Hatha Yoga. That is why Nathyogi is also called Hathayogi. There are two types of hatha yoga in the scriptures. A Hath Yoga is predecessor to Goraksnath, whose sermon has been credited to Murakandapatraadri. The second stream of Hatha Yoga is enforced by the Nathiyogis, whose name is taken as Shiva Vatara Mahaogi Gorxnath ji, as the initiator, Paramacharya.
