\n\n Morphology \n \n <\/h3>\n
\n The word \u201cyoga\u201d originated from the Sanskrit root \u092f\u0941\u091c\u094d (yuj). According to the dictionary of indian roots (Dhatupattha), it has three meanings. \n\nThe first meaning defines the root itself and means \u201cto bind\u201d. The second one defines \u201cyuj\u201d as \u201csamyamu\u201d and means \u201cself control\u201d (from the root yam \u201cto control\u201d). And the third one is sam\u0101dhi, meaning \u201cbinding together\u201d. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n Different Yoga Schools highlight different definitions of the root. For example, Vyasa, who was the first commentator on Patanjali\u00b4s Yoga Sutras, insisted that the correct meaning of \u201cyuj\u201d is \u201csamadhi\u201d, even though Bhagavadgita clearly tended towards \u201cyuj\u201d as \u201csamyama\u201d. At the same time, Pashupata Sutra believed that yoga should be considered as \u201cconnection\u201d. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
