Yoga (योग, “union”) is a combination of planets placed in a specific relationship to each other.

1. Rāja Yogas are givers of fame, status and authority,
2. Dhana Yogas are formed by the association of wealth-giving planets,
3. Sanyāsa Yogas are formed due to the placement of four or more Grahas, excluding the Sun, in a Keṅdra Bhāva from the Lagna.

There are some overarching Yogas in Jyotiṣa such as Amāvasyā Doṣa, Kāla Sarpa Yoga-Kāla Amṛta Yoga and Graha Mālika Yoga that can take precedence over planetary placements in the horoscope.

1) Yoga (योग).— The word yoga, the basic meaning of which is “yoking, uniting”, a1so derives from the same verb-root, √yuj, “to yoke, conjoin”. In the religious-spiritual sphere, its meaning obtains in the sense of meditation, concentration of the mind, and techniques pertaining to them. In the first two states of sālokya and sāmīpya, because there are present both more than one disposition (among bhakti, jñāna and vairāgya) as well as the duality between subjective disposition and its abject, yoga as the exercise of purposeful uniting of these is imperative.

In the third state of sārūpya, even though there is only dhyāna, the subject-object duality persists; hence, here too yoga is needed. What is most significant, though, is that yoga is extended iuto the realm of sāyūjya as well, where there is only non-duality.

2) Yoga (योग, “meditation”) or yogapada refers to the third division of the āgamas.—The four classes of devotees (bhakta) or the states of spiritual life somewhat correspond to the four divisions of the Āgamas and the four modes of sādhana, spiritual practice, they entail. Thus, sālokya corresponds to carya, ritual and moral conduct, sāmīpya to kriyā, architectural and iconographic making, sārūpya to yoga, meditation, and sāyūjya ta jñāna, theology and gnosis.

Yoga (योग).—The Mālinīvijayottara itself specifies that yoga is the topic of its teachings. In its narrative framework, it is the seer’s query about the practice of yoga that presents Skanda with the opportunity to transmit śiva’s revelation to the eight sages. The section establishing the pedigree of the Mālinīvijayottara as a new revelation lineally descended from the Siddhayogeśvarīmata plainly states that the Mālinīvijayatantra, the immediate precursor of the Mālinīvijayottara, taught yoga.

Yoga (योग) is the name of an ancient Pāñcarātra Saṃhitā mentioned in the Padmasaṃhitā: the most widely followed of Saṃhitā covering the entire range of concerns of Pāñcarātra doctrine and practice (i.e., the four-fold formulation of subject matter—jñāna, yoga, kriyā and caryā) consisting of roughly 9000 verses.—[Cf. Jñānapāda chapter 1, verses 99-114]—First is explained the folly of following more than one Saṃhitā for a single series of rituals.

1) Yoga (योग) refers to “disciplined behavior”, as discussed in the tenth chapter of the Paramasaṃhitā: one of the older texts of the Pāñcarātra canon consisting of over 2100 verses in 31 chapters which, being encyclopedic in scope, deals with philosophy, worship routines, mantras, initiation, social behavior, temple-building, etc.—Accordingly, in response to Brahmā’s enquiry about yoga, Parama says that it is important to know both how to perform a ritual act as well as the significance of that act—these being the two forms of yoga, then kriyā-yoga and jñāna-yoga. Both have as their object God alone (1-9). Then follow some discursive remarks concerning yama, niyama, samādhi and vairāgya (10-24). [...] Finally Brahmā asks what kind of man is suited for yogic practices (66). Parama says that it depends upon the person’s mental endowment and spiritual cultivation whether he should follow karma-yoga or jñāna-yoga; but in either case hard effort is required (61-73).

2) Yoga (योग) refers to the “teachings transmitted to mankind during the kṛtayuga-era”, as discussed in chapter 1 (Jñānakāṇḍa) of the Pārameśvarasaṃhitā: an important Pāñcarātra text of 8700 verses followed closely by the Ranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam.—Description of the chapter [śāstrāvatāra]: [...] At Śāṇḍilya’s hermitage Sanaka is instructed first of all on how the śāstra (or yoga or yogadharma: 36) was transmitted from Ananta to Aniruddha, to Ikṣvāku, to mankind during the kṛtayuga-era; it was then also, he adds, that Nara and Nārāyaṇa [the “twin sages”] taught 5 sages Sumantu, Jaimini, Bhṛgu, Aupagāyana and Mauñjyāyana in the badarikāśrama the same information (22-73). By following this teaching (yoga) and having a clear idea about it, says Śāṇḍilya, one can have a vision of Viṣṇu—as he has had and as was so often the case in the old days of kṛtayuga-times (74-834).

3a) Yoga (योग) refers to one of the “five divisions of the day”, as discussed in chapter 3 of the Viṣṇutilakasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 3500 Sanskrit verses covering the typically “agamic” subjects which are being narrated by Brahmā to a number of sages.—Description of the chapter [varṇāśrama-dharmanirūpaṇa]: [...] Brahmā points out that the day is divided into five parts, according to the activities concentrated upon—abhigamana, upādāna, ijyā, svādhyāya and yoga (42). [...] Yoga is to be done toward evening, and includes disciplined pursuit of certain pious habits—such as the sandhyās, visiting temples, attending to worship in one’s own house faithfully, etc., as well as the usual attempts at physical and mental exercises (472-489). [....]

Yoga (योग) as one of the “five division of the day” (Kāla) is also mentioned in the following:

3b) Yoga (योग) refers to one of the five methods of worship (pañcaprakāra), as discussed in the tenth chapter [fourth book] of the Jñānāmṛtasārasaṃhita: a Pāñcarātra text representing a sectarian glorification of Kṛṣṇa and Rādha (i.e., the cult of Radha-Krishna) dated among the latest of the Saṃhitā-type works.—Description of the chapter [pañcaprakāra-arcāvidhi]: Śiva (=Mahādeva) says, having got the various articles of worship ready the Lord is to be requested to accept them (1-19). Then he speaks of the five forms of worship: abhigamana, upādāna, yoga, svādhyāya and ijyā—in each case giving a brief explanation (20-24)—and praises them as resulting in the highest sāyujya-type of mukti (25).

3c) Yoga (योग) refers to one of the Pañcakālas (“five-fold divisions of worship”), as discussed in chapter 1 of the Ṛṣirātra section of the Sanatkumārasaṃhitā: an encyclopedic Sanskrit text written in over 3500 verses dealing with a variety of topics such as yoga, temple-building, consecration ceremonies, initiation and dhanurveda (martial arts).—Description of the chapter [kālādhyāya]: Sanatkumāra talks about the pañcakāla-divisions of worship into abhigamana (1-ба), upādāna (6b-9a), ijyā (9b-11), svādhyāya (12-13a) and yoga (13b). This latter has already, he acknowledges (14b), been taken up in its six-fold classification in the padmodbhava. [...]

4) Yoga (योग) or Yogamudrā refers to one of the fifty-three Mudrās (ritual hand gestures) described in chapter 22 (Caryāpāda) of the Padmasaṃhitā.—Description of the chapter [mudrālakṣaṇa-vidhi]: Brahmā asks the meaning, uses and varieties of mudrā-gestures. Bhagavān says these finger movements are ways to fend off evil and to prevent those taking pleasure in harming others. Furthermore, they please the Lord-so long as they are demonstrated in private (1-5a). He then names and describes 53 mudrā-gestures: [e.g., yoga and yogasaṃpuṭa (14-17a)] [...]

5) Yoga (योग) or Yogamudrā is the name of a Mudrā (“ritual hand-gestures”) mentioned in in chapter 13 of the Viśvāmitrasaṃhitā.—Description of the chapter [mudrā-adhyāya]: Kāśyapa asks what are the various types of mudrā-gestures, and Viśvāmitra complies by first defining mudrā as that by seeing which one derives pleasure (“mu-”) and then by counseling that whoever practices these mudrās must do so in secrecy (1-6). Thereupon he names and briefly describes how to perform a number of mudrās [e.g., yoga]

6) Yoga (योग) or Yogamudrā is the name of a Mudrā mentioned in chapter 4 of the Viṣṇutilakasaṃhitā.—Description of the chapter [yoga-adhyāya]: [...] The namatraya-mantra (Acyuta, Ananta and Govinda) is then mentioned, as is the agniprākāra-mantra. This is followed by brief descriptions of mudrās [e.g., yoga-mudrā]—which “please” Him (649-680).

Yoga (school of philosophy)

Source: WikiPedia: Yoga

Yoga is a Sanskrit word which means "union" and is interpreted as "union with the divine". One of the most detailed and thorough expositions on the subject is the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, which defines yoga as "the stilling of the changing states of the mind" (Sanskrit: yogaḥ citta-vṛtti nirodhaḥ). Yoga is also interpreted as the yoke that connects beings to the machine of existence.

According to Pāṇini, a 6th-century BCE Sanskrit grammarian, the term yoga can be derived from either of two roots, yujir yoga (to yoke) or yuj samādhau (to concentrate). In the context of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the root yuj samādhau (to concentrate) is considered by traditional commentators as the correct etymology.

Yoga (योग) refers to “purifying oneself” and represents one of the five limbs of Arcana (“deity worship”), according to the Arcana-dīpikā (manual on deity worship).—Yoga refers to purifying oneself (bhūta-śuddhi), meditating on oneself as a purely spiritual, eternal servant of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, beyond the material body and mind, in the transcendental realm of Vraja.

Generally, there are five limbs of Arcana [viz., yoga]. This is also known as pañcāṅga-viṣṇu-yajña (fivefold sacrifice performed for the pleasure of Śrī Viṣṇu). [...] These five limbs of Arcana (pañcāṅga-arcana) are not temporary and mundane but eternal, supremely pure limbs of bhakti that help one attain the lotus feet of Śrī Bhagavān.

General definition (in Hinduism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Hinduism

Yoga means: to merge, join or unite; Yoga is a form of exercise based on the belief that the body and breath are intimately connected with the mind. Yoga is a means of balancing and harmonizing the body, mind and emotions and is a tool that allows us to withdraw from the chaos of the world and find a quiet space within. To achieve this, yoga uses movement, breath, posture, relaxation and meditation in order to establish a healthy, vibrant and balanced approach to living.

Source: Hindu Online: Yoga

This word, derived from the root Yuj (“to join”), is in grammer samdhi, in logic avayavaśakti, or the power of the parts taken together and in its most widely known and present sense the union of the jīva or embodied spirit, with the Paramātmā, or Supreme Spirit, and the practices by which this union may be attained. There is a natural yoga, in which all beings are, for it is only by virtue of this identity in fact that they exist. Yoga is variously named according to the methods employed, but the two main divisions are those of the haṭhayoga (or ghaṭasthayoga) and samādhiyoga, of which rājayoga is one of the forms.

Source: WikiPedia: Hinduism

In Vedic Sanskrit, the more commonly used, literal meaning of the Sanskrit word yoga which is "to add", "to join", "to unite", or "to attach" from the root yuj, already had a much more figurative sense, where the yoking or harnessing of oxen or horses takes on broader meanings such as "employment, use, application, performance" (compare the figurative uses of "to harness" as in "to put something to some use"). All further developments of the sense of this word are post-Vedic. More prosaic moods such as "exertion", "endeavour", "zeal" and "diligence" are also found in Epic Sanskrit. There are very many compound words containing yog in Sanskrit. Yoga can take on meanings such as "connection", "contact", "method", "application", "addition" and "performance".

In Hindu philosophy, the word yoga is used to refer to one of the six orthodox (āstika) schools of Hindu philosophy. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are often labelled as Rāja yoga.

1) Yoga (योग, “meditation”) or Yogatantra refers to one of the divisions of Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhism, according to Buddhist teachings followed by the Newah in Nepal, Kathmandu Valley (whose roots can be traced to the Licchavi period, 300-879 CE).—Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna is commonly divided into four modes of practice, kriyā, "action", worshiping and serving a deity seen as outside oneself, caryā, "performance", embodying a deity by performing its ritual music and dance, yoga, "meditation", visualizing a deity or deities and absorbing them into oneself, and anuttarayoga, "the highest yoga", using sophisticated yogic meditation practices to actively turn oneself into an enlightened divinity. [...] Yoga and Anuttara Yoga Tantra both involve the visualization and meditative absorption of a deity or deities, and the deities' retinue and mandala (samādhi). In Yoga Tantra, the object of one's meditation is usually a single deity such as Avalokiteśvara, or Ārya Tārā, "Green Tārā", whose supernatural strength and speed helps devotees overcome obstacles.

2) Yoga (योग) refers to the “conjunction of the sun and moon” [i.e., yoge amuka], according to the Guru Mandala Worship (maṇḍalārcana) ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi, which refers to the primary pūjā and sādhanā practice of Newah Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhists in Nepal.

Yoga (योग) refers to “application / contemplation of mind” and is one of the causes leading to the influx (āsrana) of karmas extending pleasant feelings (sātāvedanīya).

Yoga is a Sanskrit technical term defined in the Tattvārthasūtra (ancient authorative Jain scripture) from the 2nd century, which contains aphorisms dealing with philosophy and the nature of reality.

Source: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra

Yoga (योग) refers to “self-concentration”, according to chapter 4.5 [dharmanātha-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly, as Dharma-nātha said in his sermon on the kaṣāyas:—“Emancipation (mokṣa) is the chief of the four objects of existence and the source of it is self-concentration (yoga), and it (yoga) is the three jewels having the form of jnana, śraddhāna, and caritra. Understanding in accordance with the Principles is jñāna; right-belief is saṃyakśraddhā; and abandonment of all censurable activities is caritra. The Soul alone—or rather, the right-belief, knowledge, and conduct of a yati, since it (the soul) really consists of them—rules the body. If anyone knows the soul in himself by himself because of the freedom from delusion, that itself is his right-conduct, -knowledge, and -belief. [...]”.

1) Yoga (योग, “activity”) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra chapter 6, “the operation of the body (kāya), the organ of speech (vāc) and the mind (manas) is called yoga (activity).”.—What is meant by activity (yoga)? Vibrations caused in the space-points of the soul induced by mind, body and speech is called yoga /activity.

How many types of yoga are there? There are three types of yoga differentiated according to the nature of the cause namely:

1. manoyoga (mind activities),
2. vacanayoga (speech activities),
3. kāyayoga (body activities).

According to verse 6.2, “It (vibrations caused by this threefold activity) is influx (āsrava)” Why are the activities (yoga) called influx? Since activities of the mind body and speech are the cause of the inflow of kārmaṇa and nokarma (gross body building) particles to establish a relation with the soul. So activities (yoga) are called influx. The function of yoga is to invite or initiate the influx of the kārma particles (matter particles capable of becoming karmas) towards the soul. The functions of passions are ‘to be the cause’ of kārma bondage with the soul and it’s ensure the same.

2) Yoga (योग).—What is meant by application/ contemplation of mind (yoga)? To observe the above activities i.e. (compassions for both general and devout), charity and self-control with attachment, with full application of mind and completely is yoga.

(-gaḥ) 1. Junction, joining, union. 2. Combination, association, meeting, conflux. 3. Religious and abstract meditation. 4. Keeping the body in a fixed posture. 5. Devotion, spiritual worship of God, or union with the Supreme Being by means of abstract contemplation; this does not necessarily imply an abandonment of the world or relinquishment of the usual observances of religion, but it involves internal indifference to objects of pleasure and pain, and utter disregard of the consequences or fruit of ceremonial rites. 6. The particular practice of the preceding sort of devotion, or the exercise of that abstraction by which union with God is supposed to be obtained; in the Gita it is described as sitting on Kuśa grass, with the body firm, the eyes fixed on the tip of the nose, and the mind intent on the Deity; in the Tantras a fanciful operation is prescribed, by which the vital spirit seated in the lower part of the body, and the etherial spirit placed in the head, are supposed to be brought into combination in the brain, when the devotee becomes united with Brahma. 7. The system of philosophy which treats of the union of the soul with Brah- Ma or God; it is the same as the Patanjali doctrine, and constitutes one of the six Darshanas or philosophical schools of the Hindus. 8. Magic, or the acquisition of supernatural powers by the mystical and magical worship of Siva and Durga especially. 9. Consequence, result, the main end or object of any thing or act. 10. Connection of one thing with another, as of cause with effect, predicate with subject, quality with substance, &c. 11. Acquisition of something not possessed before, accession of property or wealth; in grammar this application is assigned to any unusual construction of words or compounds, unauthorised by rule, but sanctioned by the authority that employs them. 12. A rule, an aphorism. 13. Propriety, fitness. 14. Side, part, cause or argument to be maintained or defended. 15. Thing, substance. 16. Wealth. 17. A drug, a medicament, especially a compound of various, ingredients. 18. Fraud, trick. 19. A logician. 20. A spy, an informer. 21. A violator of truth or confidence. 22. A conveyance, a carriage, a boat, &c. 23. A means, an expedient. 24. Armour. 25. Putting on armour. 26. Lucky conjuncture. 27. (In arithmetic,) Addition. 28. (In astronomy,) The leading or principal star of a lunar mansion. 29. The twenty-seventh part of 3600 of a great circle measured on the plane of the ecliptic, and used in calculating the longitudes of the sun and moon; each Yoga has a distinct name; astrologers also enumerate twenty-eight Yogas differently named from the foregoing, and corresponding with the twenty-eight Nakshatras, or the divisions of the moon’s path, but varying according to the day of the week. 30. A period, or the time during which the sum of the motions of the sun and moon amount to one Nakshatra, the mean duration of which is 23hs. 474 4444. E. yuj to join literally or figuratively, (as with God,) aff. ghañ .
