The greatest emphasis is given to ‘liberation while living’ (Jeevan Mukti). It talks of doing all our duties, living our lives; it may be of a king or an ordinary man, animal or a bird. 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. All the Akhyanas are introduced to establish these ideals. In these stories, the characters are taken by the Author from Puranas, Mahabharat, Ramayana or our folk-lore.
