Everything about Hatha Yoga Pradipika totally explained
Hatha Yoga Pradipika is a classic
Sanskrit manual on
Hatha Yoga, written by
Swami Swatmarama, a disciple of Swami
Gorakhnath. Said to be the oldest surviving text on the Hatha Yoga, it's one of the three classic texts of
Hatha Yoga, the other two being the
Gheranda Samhita and the
Shiva Samhita.
The book was written in 15th century
CE. The work is derived from older Sanskrit texts and Swami Swatamarama's own yogic experiences. Many modern
English translations of the book are available.
The book includes information about
asanas,
pranayama,
chakras,
kundalini,
bandhas,
kriyas,
shakti,
nadis and
mudras among other topics. It runs in the line of
Hindu yoga (to distinguish from
Buddhist and
Jain yoga) and is dedicated to Lord Adinath, a name for Lord
Shiva (the Hindu god of destruction and renewal), who is alleged to have imparted the secret of Hatha Yoga to his divine consort
Parvati.
