Everything about Yogi totally explained
» For other uses, see Yogi (disambiguation)
A
yogi (
Sanskrit, feminine root:
yogini) is a term for a male practitioner of various forms of the path of
Yoga, maintaining a steadfast mind, the process of transcending the lower self through daily practices. In contemporary
English yogin is an alternative rendering for the word
yogi. This word is often used to describe
Buddhist monks or a householder who is devoted to
meditation.
The
Shiva-Samhita text defines the yogi as someone who knows that the entire cosmos is situated within his own body, and the
Yoga-Shikha-Upanishad distinguishes two kinds of yogins: those who pierce through the "sun" (
surya) by means of the various yogic techniques and those who access the door of the central conduit (sushumna-nadi) and drink the nectar.
