Abstract
In India's yoga philosophy, samādhi achievement is also the way to liberation(mukti, mokṣa), the final goal as a result of self-realization. As a specific practice method for this, ‘aṣṭāṅga-yog a’ were suggested in Yogasūtra. These eight yoga practices change as they continue to be carrie d out by performers. One of the documents in which this change occurred is Yogayājñavalkya. Yogayājñavalkya interprets aṣṭāṅga-yoga practices from the perspective of Advaita-Vedāndta and Haṭha Yoga. According to this interpretation, Yogayājñavalkya 7.1 is classified yama-niyama-āsan a-prāṇāyāma as an external means and pratyāhāra-dhāraṇā-dhyāna-samādhi as an internal means. Among the internal means, pratyāhāra and dhāraṇā describe in detail how to perform, including mental performance and Haṭhayoga techniques. In Yogayājñavalkya pratyāhāra and dhāraṇā, praty āhārathe with 18marma-sthāna as a meditation object, and dhāraṇā on 5mahabhūta are described as unique techniques. This method of performance includes prāṇāyāma, which are achieved throu gh this.
