\n Varna is a significant term in yoga. It describes the types of human motivation in the context of social activities. We consider the significance of varnas in the philosophical sense in particular, and at the same time in the sense of the maximum development of Indian philosophies.\n
\n
\nIn yoga practice, we rely on this term from the point of view of sociology and psychology.\n
\n
\nThe most famous primary source describing varnas is the Manusm\u1e5biti. This text dates from the 2nd century BC, before the 2nd century AD. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
