Popularly known as bliss, liberation or enlightenment, Samadhi is the eighth and final stage of Ashtanga Yoga’s eight limbs of yoga.
What is the difference between Dhyana and Dharana? Understanding how Dhyana is a state of mind where the consciousness merges with the object of concentration.
Dharana or Concentration is the sixth limb of Ashtanga Yoga. It refers to concentration of the mind by fixing the mind on a particular object.
After yamas, niyamas, asana and pranayama comes ‘Pratyahara’, the stage of withdrawal. In this stage of Eight Limbs of Ashtanga, we learn to let go of external events and disengage the mind.
