Yogatārāvalī (योगतारावली) represents a 14th-century text on Haṭhayoga consisting of 29 verses.

Yogatārāvalī (योगतारावली) is a short yoga text of twenty-nine verses and is distinguished by a higher register of Sanskrit than that of most medieval yoga texts.—All of its available manuscripts, except two, are in south-Indian libraries, and some manuscript catalogues report that the text has also been called the Nandikeśvaratārāvalī and the Rājayogatārāvalī, and it has been attributed to a number of different authors, including a Śaṅkarācārya, Nandīśvara and Govindabhagavatpūjyapāda. [...] Though a manuscript catalogue indicates that the Yogatārāvalī has been called the Nandikeśvaratārāvalī, there is other evidence to suggest that these may have been two different texts.

The Yogatārāvalī’s seamless combination of Haṭha and Rājayoga is not unlike that of the Haṭhapradīpikā's, in the sense that neither contain the rivalry nor hierarchical relationship between Haṭha and Rājayoga seen in earlier yoga texts.660 The Yogatārāvalī and Haṭhapradīpikā simply present Haṭhayoga as the means to Rājayoga (i.e., Samādhi). The first half of the Yogatārāvalī is on Haṭhayoga and the second on Rājayoga. [...] Thus, like the Haṭhapradīpikā, the Yogatārāvalī not only combined Haṭha and Rājayoga traditions, but also various traditions of these types of Yogas.

context information

Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
