Sanyoga means combination or amalgamation. Co-incidence is at the core of this guna. In this guna things happen by chance, when you do expect anything. For instance, when you hear a good news when you least expect it; this situation would be the result of sanyoga.

  2. Dvikarmaja-samyoga - If two dravyas are kriyavana in a Samyoga then it is called as Dvikarmaja-samyoga.
  3. Sarvakarmaja-samyoga - If there are more than two dravyas taking part in samyoga and all of them are sakriya then it is called as Sarvakarmaja-samyoga.

Nyaya (school of philosophy)

[«previous next»] — Samyoga in Nyaya glossary

1) Saṃyoga (संयोग, “conjunction”) refers to one of the six divisions of Sannikarṣa (“sense object contact”), according to the 17th century Tarkasaṃgraha. The ordinary perception (laukika), one of the two types of pratyakṣa (perception), is caused by ordinary sannikarṣa or sense object contact. Conjunction (saṃyoga) is the contact, producing perception of the jar by the eye.

2) Saṃyoga (संयोग, “conjunction”) or Saṃyogaguṇa refers to one of the twenty-four guṇas (qualities) according to all the modern works on Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika.—The Nyāya-Vaiśeṣikas accept saṃyoga (conjunction) as the general quality (guṇa), which exists in all dravyas. According to Praśastapāda the cause of the notion of being conjoined is called saṃyoga—“saṃyogaḥ saṃyukta pratyayanimittam”. He also gives another definition of saṃyoga thus “aprāptayoḥ prāptiḥ saṃyogaḥ”. So conjunction is the contact of two things which were first separate. Viśvanātha also gives similar definition of saṃyoga. Annaṃbhaṭṭa defines saṃyoga as the special cause of the usage that two things are conjoined. In the Dīpikā, we find that the word ‘special cause’ is used in this definition of saṃyoga (conjunction) to remove the defect of ativyāpti in case of space, time number etc. A detailed discussion of saṃyoga will be given in a separate chapter where different types of relation will be discussed. Here only an idea of saṃyoga as a quality is given.

1) Saṃyoga (संयोग, “conjunction”) refers to one of the thee forms of the supreme seed-syllable called Haṃsa, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “That supreme seed-syllable called Haṃsa is located in the heart. Without that there is no perception (upalabdhi) (of ultimate reality) and one knows nothing. O fair lady, it has three forms, Sound (nāda), Conjunction (saṃyoga) and Disjunction (viyoga). O fairhipped lady, one should pay attention to it with effort. Again, the threefold consciousness (caitanya) is present here, which is that of the Self (ātman), Power (śakti) and Śiva. The threefold consciousness abides in a state of invariable union. [...]”.

2) Saṃyoga (संयोग) refers to “union” (with the absolute), according to the Kularatnapañcakāvatāra verse 1.23cd-33ab.—Accordingly, “[...] Whatever is visible or invisible to embodied beings in the three worlds is all, O goddess, certainly Kaula, the cause of union (saṃyoga) (with the absolute). O goddess, the ten-fold divine source (of phenomena, that is, the above nine and Kaula) is the fourfold womb (of the four kinds of living beings). They arise and dissolve away in Kaula. (All that) moves and is immobile, the triple world with (all) that moves and does not is born from Kula and comes from Akula. O beloved, that is said to be Kaula”.

Saṃyoga (संयोग) refers to one of the 64 rays of the Ājñā-Cakra which (together with the 72 rays of the Viśuddhi) are associated with the lunar plane called Brahmagranthi, according to Śaṅkarācārya’s Saudaryalaharī.—Accordingly, the Goddess is visualised (by Sādhaka) as dwelling above the six Ādhāracakras ruling over the 360 rays which emanate in them [e.g., Saṃyoga]. These 360 rays represent 360 syllables (i.e., a consummation of the śabdaprapañca or 50 alphabets) as well as the principles of nature. For the 360 syllables, together with haṃ and saḥ, Nyāsa should be performed for Śrīcakrapūjā.

Saṃyoga (संयोग) refers to a “conjunction” (of planets), according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 5), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “What eclipses the moon is bigger than the moon; what eclipses the sun is smaller than the sun. Hence in semi-lunar and semi-solar eclipses, the luminous horns are respectively blunt and sharp. [...] It is wrong to say that there can be no eclipse unless five planets are in conjunction [i.e., pañcagraha-saṃyoga] and it is equally wrong to suppose that on the previous Aṣṭamī (eighth lunar) day, the coming eclipse and its properties can be ascertained by examining the appearance of a drop of oil on the surface of water”.

[«previous next»] — Samyoga in Kavya glossary

Saṃyoga (संयोग) refers to the “union (of body and soul)”, according to Kālidāsa’s Raghuvaṃśa verse 8.88-90.—Accordingly: “The wise say that death is the natural state of embodied creatures and life is a change in that state. If a being remains breathing even for a moment it is surely fortunate. The foolish man regards the loss of his dear one as a dart shot into his heart. Another man looks on the same as a dart that has been pulled out, for it is a door to beatitude. When we are taught that our own body and soul unite (saṃyoga) and then separate, tell me which wise person should be tormented by separation from the external objects of the senses?”.

Saṃyoga (संयोग) refers to “union (with Bhagavān)”, according to the Nirodhalakṣaṇa (lit. “characteristics of restraint”) written by Śrī Vallabhācārya for his disciples.— A devotee who forgets the mundane world (prapañca) and develops attachment to Bhagavān starts to intensely experience both union (saṃyoga) and separation (viyoga) with Bhagavān. This is described, as found in the account of the Vraja devotees (Bhāgavatam 10.19.16) [...]. During the periods of Bhagavān’s earthly incarnations, the opportunity to serve Bhagavān becomes an experience of union (saṃyoga), while its absence leads to the experience of separation (viyoga).

Shaiva philosophy

Saṃyoga (संयोग) refers to “association” (e.g, Manaḥsaṃyoga—“having the association with the mind”—applied to Śiva and Puruṣa—the soul), according to Bhaṭṭa Rāmakaṇṭha’s 10th-century Tattvatrayanirṇayavivṛti—a commentary on the 7th-century Tattvatrayanirṇaya by Sadyojyoti which discusses philosophical aspects of Śiva including the theories of Puruṣas (souls), Māyā (primal matter) and Mala (the innate impurity afflicting souls).—The term manaḥ-saṃyoga is invoked to clarify the nature of consciousness (cidrūpa) ascribed to Śiva and Puruṣa (the soul). The Tattvatrayanirṇayavivṛti insists that their sentience does not arise merely from manaḥ-saṃyoga—that is, from being in contact with or joined to the mind—but instead, their consciousness is innate and essential.

Saṃyoga (संयोग) refers to “union”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 2).—Accordingly, “[Question: The past and the future do not function with the nature of the present; the past functions with the nature of the past and the future with the nature of the future. That is why there is a [different] time for each nature separately (ekaika dharmalakṣaṇa)]—[Answer:]—[...] [The Buddhist texts] do not speak about kāla but about samaya in order to dispel wrong views of this kind. We speak metaphorically about time with regard to birth, the elements and bases of consciousness, but there is no distinct time [existing as a separate substance]. Expressions such as ‘region’ (deśa), ‘time’ (kāla), ‘separation’ (viyoga), ‘union’ (saṃyoga), ‘singleness’ (ekatva), ‘multiplicity’ (nānātva), ‘length’ (dīrghatva), ‘smallness’ (hrasvatva), etc., come from convention. Fools (bāla) cling to them and say that these are real Dharmas (sadbhūta). That is why mundane conventional Dharmas of purely nominal existence must be excluded.”.
