The word yoga is of Sanskrit origin. Its direct translation is bridle, harness, gear. There are also many other meanings of this word. But apparently, they are of a more recent origin than the fact of the preliminary conscious calculation by some human beings of the specific ways to achieve the particular state of consciousness. Lets try to choose the most appropriate translation from the three options. Otherwise, we would be tough to understand exactly what the ancients had in mind. The tip is in the definitions of the concept Yoga given by those who put to use the term. There are many interpretations and variations on the theme, but only definitions adopted by all schools and trends without exception as canonical are known. Please note – the first text, which defines the concept of yoga, assigns the authorship of the definition not to Krishna and not to Shiva – they, in turn, become Lords of Yoga in more recent times... It is doubtful whether on their own; more likely – by the will of the leaders of society. That is to say, according to the change of prevailing sociopolitical trends... But in fact, Yama was the first – responsible for the death... Let’s recall Castaneda: Death is the best adviser... As for the leaders of society – these people have always been cunning and at all times differed with a particular finesse in massive speculation on the emotional attachments of the crowd... The second definition, in fact, can be considered very approximate the definition of yoga as such. This it is rather a given state of consciousness, which is achieved using yoga – bridle. Thus, at the level of the primary definition yoga appears not as an end in itself or some singularity, but only as a process tool designed to control the behavior of the mind.
