The article explores the intersections and distinctions between Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga and the poetic insights of Yogi Vemana, a Telugu poet on Yoga. Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga is renowned for its systematic and structured approach to self-realisation, while Yogi Vemana's mystical poetry provides a unique perspective on the same spiritual journey. The study delves into the principles and practices emphasised by these two traditions. Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga encompasses the eight limbs, including yama (moral principles), niyama (observances), asana (postures), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (absorption). The author highlights how Yogi Vemana's poetry aligns with and expands upon some principles, such as truth, non-stealing, celibacy, purity, contentment, devotion to God, and more. The article reveals that Yogi Vemana's poetry weaves various yogic traditions into his verses, such as Shiva Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Sankhya Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, and Raja Yoga. While Patanjali provides a structured framework, Yogi Vemana's work bridges spirituality and daily life, offering a more practical perspective on the spiritual journey. The comparative analysis demonstrates that both traditions share common themes, emphasising principles like truth and concentration. However, Yogi Vemana's poetry provides a broader view of the diversity of yogic practices and their practical applications in everyday life, enriching our understanding of the multifaceted nature of the spiritual path. This study contributes to a deeper appreciation of the rich tapestry of Yoga and spirituality, shedding light on how ancient traditions intersect and complement each other, offering multiple paths to self-realisation.
