Is the Dermovision entry a joke? ᚣᚷᚷᛞᚱᚫᛋᛁᛚ 17:13, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I have never heard of it. You would have to trace page history to figure out who actually added the entry, and perhaps why. -- John Gohde, aka Mr-Natural-Health 17:23, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

how did "yoga" get here?

[edit]

"Yoga is one of the six darshanas (schools) of Vedic/Hindu philosophy, and as such specifically refers to Raja Yoga, the royal path of divine meditation on the one Brahman. A man who has taken up successful practice of Yoga is called a Yogi (also spelled Yogin), a woman Yogini. Several other forms of yoga exist within Hinduism including those of selfless action (Karma Yoga), selfless love (Bhakti Yoga), and discriminatory contemplation (Jnana Yoga). Many modern, non-sectarian hatha yoga schools are popular and focus more on coordination of bodily health in addition to mental and spiritual well-being. "

Cappeller's Sanskrit-English Dictionary defines Yoga as: m. collection or concentration of the mind, meditation, contemplation (1) --robert_wh 12:10, 2004 May 18 (UTC)
