The ultimate goal of yoga philosophy is to achieve spiritual liberation (moksha) through self-realization and union with the divine.

Maharishi Patanjali is considered the father of modern yoga due to his compilation of the Yoga Sutras, a foundational text that outlines the eight limbs of yoga.

The first limb of yoga is Yama, which refers to moral restraints or ethical guidelines that govern one's behavior and interactions with others.

Aparigraha is not a yama, but a niyama, which refers to positive observances or self-disciplines in yoga philosophy.

Pranayama, or breath control, is practiced in yoga to calm the mind, regulate emotions, and enhance concentration.

Surya Bhedana is a type of pranayama practiced in hatha yoga, not in raja yoga.

Samadhi is the eighth and final stage of yoga, where the practitioner experiences a state of complete absorption and union with the divine consciousness.

Dhyana Samadhi is not a type of samadhi, but rather a stage of meditation leading to samadhi.

The guru's role in yoga philosophy is to guide the practitioner's journey towards self-realization and liberation.

The Hatha Yoga Pradipika is a relatively recent text compared to the other three, which are ancient scriptures.

The eight limbs of yoga are a systematic path that guides the practitioner through different stages of spiritual development and self-realization.

Viveka is not a klesha, but rather a quality that helps overcome ignorance and leads to discrimination between the real and the unreal.

Yoga nidra is a state of conscious deep sleep that offers a range of benefits, including improved sleep quality, reduced stress and anxiety, enhanced creativity and intuition, and promotion of physical healing.

Savasana is not an asana in the traditional sense, but rather a relaxation pose commonly practiced at the end of a yoga session.

The essence of yoga philosophy lies in the realization of the unity between the individual soul (atman) and the universal soul (brahman).
