Astanga Yoga

The Indian history is a witness to the fact that whenever the society was in need of social changes, every time some new system is born to replace the out-dated one. In the 10th century the same happened; Guru Gorakhnath took the lead to eradicated the Buddhist Tantriks and the same was followed by the devotee Saints like Tulsi and Kabir. They have also spoken about the Tantriks for whom there existed no difference between mother and wife. In such a situation a reformist was necessary and Saint Charandes was one of them. He has drawn the essence from Hatha pradipika, Yoga of Astanga Yoga. He ha used a very simple language so that the public in general could understand and practice.
