It preaches ‘control over mind and senses, bereft of attachment and detachment, performance of yoga, strong will power, our faith in the supreme whether qualitative or nor qualitative (Saguna and Nirguna), births and rebirths, equality of man and woman, and respect of woman’ is the main epitome of the Yogavasishtha Philosophy.
