"Yoga is one of the six systems of Indian Vedic philosophy (Darshan). Maharishi Patanjali, rightly known as the “Father of Yoga,” compiled and refined various aspects of yoga systematically in his “Yoga Sutras” (aphorisms), wherein he advocated the eight-fold path known as “Ashtanga Yoga” for an all-around development of human personality. These include - Yama [moral codes], Niyama [self-purification and study], Asana [posture], Pranayama [breath control], Pratyahara [sense control], Dharana [concentration], Dhyana [meditation], and Samadhi [super contemplation]. These are formulated on the basis of multifarious psychological understanding of human personality."
