In Hinduism

Yoga (school of philosophy)

Source: Terebess Ázsia Lexikon: Haṭha Yoga

The word Haṭha (हठ, lit. force) denotes a system of physical techniques supplementary to yoga more broadly conceived; Haṭha Yoga is yoga that uses the techniques of Haṭha. Why these techniques were called Haṭha is not stated in the texts that teach them, but it seems likely that, originally at least, they were called thus because, like → tapas (asceticism), with which they were associated, they were difficult and forced their results to happen.

In its earliest formulations, Haṭha was used to raise and conserve the physical essence of life, identified in men as bindu (semen), which is otherwise constantly dripping downward from a store in the head and being expended. (The female equivalent, mentioned only occasionally in our sources, is rajas, menstrual fluid.)

1) Haṭha (हठ) refers to “force” (e.g., ‘to drive someone out with force’), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.16 (“Brahmā consoles the gods”).—Accordingly, as the Gods said to Brahmā: “O lord of the worlds, thanks to the boon received from you. The demon Tāraka is very haughty. Driving us out with force [i.e., haṭha] he has taken possession of our positions. Is it not known to you what misery has befallen us? Please dispel our misery quickly. We seek refuge in you. He torments us wherever we happen to stay by day or at night. Wherever we flee we see Tāraka. [...]”.

2) Haṭha (हठ) refers to “stubbornly insisting”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.2 (“The birth of Śiva’s son”).—Accordingly, after Nārada spoke to Agni: “[...] O sage, the six ladies stubbornly (haṭha) insisted on going there [mohāddhaṭhāttatra gatā] to ward off their chillness because they were deluded by Śiva’s magical art. Immediately the particles of the semen entered their bodies through the pores of hairs, O sage. The fire was relieved of their burning sensation. Vanishing immediately from the scene, Agni in the form of a flame, went back happily to his region, mentally remembering you and Śiva. [...]”.
