"Yoga Protocol in Telugu" is prepared by M.V.Raghuvanandan, East Godavari DT.

In Sanskrit, the word yoga comes from the root yuj which means "to add", "to join", "to unite", or "to attach" in its most common senses.There are very many compound words containing yoga in Sanskrit. Yoga can take on meanings such as "connection", "contact", "union", "method","application", "addition" and "performance". In simpler words, Yoga also means "combined". For example, guṇáyoga means "contact with a cord"; chakráyoga has a medical sense of "applying a splint or similar instrument by means of pulleys (in case of dislocation of the thigh)"; chandráyoga has the astronomical sense of "conjunction of the moon with a constellation"; puṃyoga is a grammatical term expressing "connection or relation with a man", etc. The ultimate goal of Yoga is moksha (liberation), although the exact definition of what form this takes depends on the philosophical or theological system with which it is conjugated.According to Jacobsen, "Yoga has five principal meanings:

1.Yoga, as a disciplined method for attaining a goal;

2.Yoga, as techniques of controlling the body and the mind;

3.Yoga, as a name of one of the schools or systems of philosophy (darśana);

4.Yoga, in connection with other words, such as "hatha-, mantra-, and laya-," referring to traditions specialising in particular techniques of yoga;

5.Yoga, as the goal of Yoga practice."
